1. Life Skill Education at the Time of COVID-19: Perceptions and Strategies of Italian Expert School Educators

Author

Velasco, V., Cominelli, S., Scattola, P., and Celata, C.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a huge effect on adolescents' health and learning. Health promotion strategies should be valued, and life skill education is a potential approach in this direction. This study aimed to investigate the implementation of an evidence-based life skill education programme during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Lombardy Region (Italy) by collecting opinions about the programme's usefulness and feasibility and identifying the strategies for implementing it through distance teaching. The study involved 63 middle school expert teachers, principals or coordinators in life skill education. An online questionnaire with closed- and open-ended questions was used. A qualitative content analysis was carried out using N-Vivo Answers software. The participants recognized the high value of life skill education at the time of COVID-19, but they showed reticence regarding its feasibility. Positive effects of the programme on both health and learning outcomes were reported. The obstacles were related to interpersonal aspects, student involvement, methods, organization and planning. Many strategies were suggested related to the teaching method, the curriculum organization and the adaptation needs. These strategies can be used to implement active and cooperative learning at a distance to reinforce students' life skills to cope with the crisis and promote their health.

Abstract

The present study explores the concurrent contribution to sleep problems of individual-related, family-related, and school-related factors in adolescence. Gathering from the Italian 2018 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) data collection, we used hierarchical logistic regression on a sample of 3397 adolescents (51% females, Mage = 13.99, SD = 1.62) to explore the contribution to sleep problems of the individual (Model 1: alcohol use, smoking, screen time, physical activity), familial (Model 2: parental communication, parental support), and school-related (Model 3: peer support, schoolmates/students support, teacher support and school pressure) variables. 28.3 percent of adolescents reported having sleep difficulties. Overall, Model 3 significantly improved over Model 2 and Model 1. Data showed that increasing smoking (OR = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.03–1.20) and screen time (OR = 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02–1.08) were associated with sleep difficulties but not alcohol use and physical activity. Also, impaired communication with both parents and increasing parental support (OR = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.78–0.90) were associated with decreased odds of sleep problems. Finally, both increases in school pressure (OR = 1.40; 95% CI: 1.26–1.56) and lack of student support (OR = 1.25; 95% CI: 1.10–1.42) were associated with a higher likelihood of sleep problems, while peer support and teacher support were not. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the importance of an integrated approach to the study of sleep difficulties in adolescence that includes specific psychosocial contributors such as the quality of parental communication and perceived parental support and considers the quality of the day-to-day relationship with schoolmates and the school level of demands.What is Known:• Adolescents' are at-risk of more significant sleep difficulties, and recent literature highlights the importance of an integrated approach to understanding this phenomenon, including biological, psychosocial, and contextual factors.• The literature lacks findings that consider the concurrent contribution of individual and psychosocial factors to sleep difficulties in adolescence.What is New:• The quality of parental communication and perceived parental support, as expressions of adult figures' emotional and behavioural availability in the adolescent's life, are significant determinants of sleep difficulties.• The quality of day-to-day relationships with schoolmates and the school level of demands contribute to adolescent sleep problems.

Abstract

Background. Discussion on the impact of pocket money on positive behaviors is still debated.Objective. To investigate the effect of diverse money allowance schemes on risky behaviors (smoking, alcohol, binge drinking, drug use, gambling) during adolescence.Method. 989 students aged 15 from Lombardy (Italy) reported information on money availability in the 2018 wave of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study. To analyze the relationship between money availability and risky behaviors we computed odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals through unconditional multiple logistic regression models.Results. Spending more than 10(sic) weekly was associated with higher likelihood to smoke, binge drink or gamble. Receiving pocket money (rather than receiving money upon request) was related to higher likelihood to engage in risky behaviors.Conclusions. Pocket money may have a negative impact on adolescents, particularly with a substantial amount of money. More research is needed to understand why providing money only if needed may serve as a protective factor against risky behaviors.

Abstract

In the last decades, research focused on the surroundings’ influence over schools, but only a few studies investigated whether the presence of a school may increase its surroundings’ safety. Still, the characteristics of the school which could ameliorate the surroundings’ safety are still unclear. The current study hypothesizes that: i. a higher number of communication strategies in the school may increase the school surroundings’ safety; ii. the students’ participation in school decisions and the frequency of anti-bullying programs may strengthen the effect of communication over surroundings’ safety. The sample includes data of 62 school principals from the Northern Italian region of Lombardy who answered self-report questions from Health Behaviors in School-Aged Children (2014) protocol. Findings from moderation analysis show that a higher number of communication strategies within the school fosters the perception of safer school surroundings. The impact of students’ participation in school decisions does not constitute a significant moderator of the relationship. In contrast, the frequency of anti-bullying programs results to impact negatively on the association between communication strategies and surroundings’ safety.

Abstract

Objective. Problematic Social Media Use (PSMU) has an addictive potential for young users. The aim of this study was to show the prevalence of PSMU across Italian regions and its association with health complaints. Materials and methods. Data are gathered from the Italian 2018 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey using a representative sample of Italian adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 years (50.6% males). Participants completed self-administered questionnaires assessing PSMU and health complaints. Results. PSMU affects 8.9% adolescents in Italy and the prevalence is quite consistent across regions. 13-year-olds girls showed the highest percentage of PSMU (13%). Problematic users of social media are more likely to report multiple somatic (OR = 1.84 [95% CI 1.82-1.85]) and psychological (OR = 2.60 [95% CI 2.58-2.63]) symptoms. Conclusions. PSMU represents a widespread problem in Italy. National prevention interventions are needed in order to promote a positive use of social media.

Abstract

Objective. The aim is to describe dietary habits and their association with socio-demographic characteristics in a large nationally representative sample of Italian adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 years. Materials and methods. Data from the 2018 Italian Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey on 58,976 adolescents were analysed to determine eating habits. Logistic regression was used to investigate the association between incorrect dietary habits and potential predictors. Results. 38.3% of boys and 48.1% of girls skipped breakfast and 54.1% did not consume fruit and/or vegetables daily. 15.9% of boys and 11.3% of girls drank carbonated-sugary beverages at least once a day. Incorrect dietary habits were more common among boys, adolescents with lower socio-economic conditions, residents in Southern Italy and those spending more time watching TV. Italian adolescents were more likely to have incorrect dietary habits compared with those from most other countries involved in 2018 HBSC. Conclusions. Action is needed to improve dietary habits among adolescents.

Abstract

The aims of this study were: to analyze job conditions, burn-out, and job satisfaction relationships in a sample of teachers in Milan; to verify the relation between the two latter variables and intentions to develop health education programmes. 106 teachers filled out a questionnaire to evaluate their job conditions (role identity, job overload, work group), job satisfaction, burn-out and their intention to promote health education programmes. 27% and 17% of teachers respectively had high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization; 45% had low levels of personal accomplishment. Analyses based on structural equation modelling showed that job satisfaction was related to the work group, emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment; the latter was also indirectly related to job satisfaction through emotional exhaustion. Role identity and job overload contributed significantly to emotional exhaustion while the work group influenced personal accomplishment. No relationship was found between teachers’ promotion of health education programmes and burn-out or job satisfaction

Abstract

A new set of resonances for electron cloud dynamics in the presence of a magnetic field has been found. For short beam bunch lengths and low magnetic fields where lb << 2pi c/omega c (with lb = bunch length, omega c = non-relativistic cyclotron frequency) resonances between the bunch frequency and harmonics of the electron cyclotron frequency cause an increase in the electron cloud density in narrow ranges of magnetic field near the resonances. For ILC parameters the increase in the density is up to a factor ~;;3, and the spatial distribution of the electrons is broader near resonances, lacking the well-defined vertical density "stripes" found for non-resonant cases. Simulations with the 2D computer code POSINST, as well as a single-particle tracking code, were used to elucidate the physics of the dynamics. The existence of the resonances has been confirmed in experiments at PEP-II. The resonances are expected to affect the electron cloud dynamics in the fringe fields of conventional lattice magnets and in wigglers, where the magnetic fields are low. Results of the simulations and experimental observations, the reason for the bunch-length dependence, and details of the dynamics are discussed here.

Abstract

We report a previously unknown resonance for electron cloud dynamics. The 2D simulation code "POSINST" was used to study the electron cloud buildup at different z positions in the International Linear Collider positron damping ring wiggler. An electron equilibrium density enhancement of up to a factor of 3 was found at magnetic field values for which the bunch frequency is an integral multiple of the electron cyclotron frequency. At low magnetic fields the effects of the resonance are prominent, but when B exceeds ~;;(2 pi mec/(elb)), with lb = bunch length, effects of the resonance disappear. Thus short bunches and low B fields are required for observing the effect. The reason for the B field dependence, an explanation of the dynamics, and the results of the 2D simulations and of a single-particle tracking code used to elucidate details of the dynamics are discussed.

Abstract

The world Heavy Ion Fusion (HIF) Program for inertial fusion energy is looking toward the development and commissioning of several new experiments. Recent and planned upgrades of the facilities at GSI, in Russia, and in Japan greatly enhance the ability to study energy deposition in hot dense matter. Worldwide target design developments have focused on non-ignition targets for nearterm experiments and designs which, while lowering the energy required for ignition, tighten accelerator requirements. The U.S program is transitioning between scaled beam dynamics experiments and high current experiments with power-plant-driver-scale beams. Current effort is aimed at preparation for the next-step large facility, the Integrated Research Experiment (IRE)-- an induction linac accelerating multiple beams to a few hundred MeV, then focusing to deliver tens of kilojoules to a target. The goal is to study heavy ion energy deposition, and to test all of the components and physics needed for an engineering test of a power plant driver and target chamber. This paper will include an overview of the Heavy Ion Fusion program abroad and a more in-depth view of the progress and plans of the U.S. program., Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures

Abstract

Issue: The Health Protection Agencies (ATS) of the Lombardy Region play a role in the governance through the technical methodological support to achieve health objectives. Through Local Health Promotion Plans (PIL), ATS are tasked with programming campaigns for health promotion and prevention of NCDs at the territorial level, following regional (PRP) and national (PNP) guidelines. The PIL foster the integration of different sectors and activate non-health policies, through networks and stakeholders from different territories. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the need for an integrated and, inter-sectorial plan able to promote the development of partnerships, in order to focus more on the social and environmental determinants of health. This strategy guarantees responses to the needs of the population during an emergency, as well as equitable and sustainable prevention programs. Description of the problem: As part of its planning activities, each ATS defines and annually updates the PIL according to a methodology consistent with the regional situation and, based on analyses of health and the equity context. Implementation of the PIL is part of the prevention performance indicators and it is monitored at the regional level through collaborative work networks encompassing, research, training and sharing of best practices. Results: The comparative reading of the 8 PIL makes it possible to identify the contents defined in the various territories, highlighting of inter-sectorial relations present at the regional level. The mapping of interventions clearly highlights the settings in which the greatest number of resources are invested (school and work), thus becoming a tool for planning action programs in subsequent years. Lessons: In addition to being a planning tool, the PIL allows the sharing of the local health profile and priorities with all territorial actors, becoming one of the tools in which the Health Profile is declined. Key messages: • The analysis of PIL is the starting point for the systemization of good practices, identifying possible organizational synergies and the preventive effects of the actions and programs implemented. • Comparative reading of PIL allows for benchmarking of health promotion interventions.

Abstract

The U.S. Heavy Ion Fusion program has recently commissioned several new experiments. In the High Current Experiment [P. A. Seidl et al., Laser Part. Beams 20, 435 (2003)], a single low-energy beam with driver-scale charge-per-unit-length and space-charge potential is being used to study the limits to transportable current posed by nonlinear fields and secondary atoms, ions, and electrons. The Neutralized Transport Experiment similarly employs a low-energy beam with driver-scale perveance to study final focus of high perveance beams and neutralization for transport in the target chamber. Other scaled experiments -- the University of Maryland Electron Ring [P. G. O'Shea et al., accepted for publication in Laser Part. Beams] and the Paul Trap Simulator Experiment [R. C. Davidson, H. Qin, and G. Shvets, Phys. Plasmas 7, 1020 (2000)] -- will provide fundamental physics results on processes with longer scale lengths. An experiment to test a new injector concept is also in the design stage. This paper will describe the goals and status of these experiments, as well as progress in theory and simulation. A proposed future proof-of-principle experiment, the Integrated Beam Experiment, will also be described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Issue/problem: Gambling is a complex public health issue in Italy which has been contrasted by the establishment of a specific Ministerial Fund to implement prevention and treatment actions at regional level (L. 208/2015). Lombardy has implemented these guidelines through a Regional Plan (Dgr 585/2018) declined in Local Operational Plans monitored at regional level. Among the priorities of the Plans, the principle of Health Literacy (HL) assumes a central role in order to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge about gambling and the access to the Territorial Services. What has been achieved on HL allows to orient the programming of the new Regional Plan of Prevention (PRP 2020-25), since it could be transferred to other health promotion policies. Description of the problem: The survey of what has been achieved in the field of HL was carried out through an ad hoc research form, administered to the Local Heath Protection Agencies, called ATS. The form evaluated actions and processes deployed during 2020, identifying the tools used for specific population targets. On the basis of the data collected, the objective of the contribution is to identify sustainable and effective HL promotion activities. Results: The actions were developed for specific targets (children, adults and the elderly) on different settings (workplaces, schools, local communities) and concerned training and information measures, communication campaigns, cultural, social, aggregative and action research activities, capable of forming a network of social multipliers. Lessons: The development of activities and tools on specific settings and targets has allowed to promote the growth of health knowledge in the population (HL), generating new communication channels. Key messages: · HL’s promotion actions regarding gambling can become sustainable and effective tools to raise awareness on other health issues at national and international level. · HL’s promotion tools should be considered as useful strategies in health policies at both national and international level.

Abstract

Perpendicular electron cyclotron emission (PECE) from the electron cyclotron resonant heating of hot electrons in TMX-U is measured at 30-40 and 50-75 GHz. This emission is optically thin and is measured at the midplane,f[sub ce] ... 14 GHz, in either end cell. In the west end cell, the emission can be measured at different axial positions thus yielding the temporal history of the hot electron axial profile. These profiles are in excellent agreement with the axial diamagnetic signals. In addition, the PECE signal level correlates well with the diamagnetic signal over a wide range of hot electron densities. Preliminary results from theoretical modeling and comparisons with other diagnostics are also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
