Abstract Background Male partner involvement in antenatal care is a key factor that cannot be ignored in the quest for improvement in maternal health and is recommended as an essential intervention to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. However, little attention has been given to male partners’ involvement in maternity care, particularly in developing countries. Objective This study aimed to assess male partners’ involvement in antenatal care and its associated factors among male partners whose wives gave birth within the last one-year in Bichena town, Westcentral, Ethiopia, 2019. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from October 1/2018 to June 15/2019, in Bichena town, among 406 male partners. The data was collected by a simple random sampling technique and analyzed using the Statistical Package of the Social Science 23.0 version. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio with a confidence interval of 95% and a P-value of

Background: Male partner involvement in antenatal care is a key factor that cannot be ignored in the quest for improvement in maternal health and is recommended as an essential intervention to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. However, little attention has been given to male partners’ involvement in maternity care, particularly in developing countries. Objective: This study aimed to assess male partners’ involvement in antenatal care and its associated factors among male partners whose wives gave birth within the last one-year in Bichena town, Westcentral, Ethiopia, 2019. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from October 1/2018 to June 15/2019, in Bichena town, among 406 male partners. The data was collected by a simple random sampling technique and analyzed using the Statistical Package of the Social Science 23.0 version. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio with a confidence interval of 95% and a P-value of < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: In this study, 53.4% [95% CI: 48.3- 58.1%] of male partners had high involvement in antenatal care. The age group of 20–29 years [AOR = 2.14, 95% CI = 1.04–4.38], having primary, secondary, and diploma and above educational level [AOR = 2.04, 95% CI = 1.02–4.07], [AOR = 3.02, 95% CI = 1.49–6.11] and [AOR = 4.03, 95% CI = 2.06–7.89] respectively, ≤ 10 years marriage length [AOR = 2.92, 95% CI = 1.46–5.87], good knowledge of the services provided in antenatal care [AOR = 2.68, 95%, CI = 1.62–4.42], good awareness of the danger signs of pregnancy [AOR = 1.77, 95 CI = 1.10–2.85], favorable attitude towards antenatal care [AOR = 2.62, 95% CI = 1.64–4.19], travel less than 15 min to reach a nearby health facility [AOR = 3.43, 95% CI = 1.54–7.65] and making decision together to seek care in health facility [AOR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.19–5.03] were associated with male partners involvement in antenatal care. Conclusions: Male partners' involvement in antenatal care was encouraging in the study area compared to previous studies done in Ethiopia. We suggest strengthening awareness among male partners about their shared responsibility during pregnancy. Male partners should be invited to attend the antenatal care. Policymakers and healthcare planners should design programs and plans that will encourage male partners’ involvement in maternal healthcare services utilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While improvising follows the same rules for singers, as well as instrumentalists, there are a few aspects that are to be taken into consideration when improvising in different genres as a jazz singer. The uniqueness of the instrument itself, with no comparison with any other instrument or voice, requires a personalized approach in accompanying a singer as well, while a deep understanding of the importance of balancing the lead melody with the chords and the rhythms in the accompaniment is paramount. To accompany a vocal improvisation, means to support the melody created right above and just underneath the fingers of the accompanist. To improvise with an accompanist on swing is the opposite approach of improvising on bossa-nova, while respecting the origin of the latter, which is jazz itself. The mastery of this undertake is to be discussed herein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article uses autoethnography and theological reflection to explore how the palliative care chaplain might pastorally and spiritually care for a person requesting death by assisted dying, when that choice is contra to the chaplain's personal beliefs as to its moral permissibility. In present day Scotland (May 2023) this is a current issue, as debates about the legality of assisted dying loom in view of a proposed parliamentary bill. Reflecting on the Parable of the Good Samaritan and the theme of kenosis, the article concludes that God's self-emptying, kenotic 'neighbour' love offers this chaplain a model of kenotic pastoral care through which they can remain present, whilst maintaining spiritual and moral integrity. The self-emptying of kenotic pastoral care, which includes the setting aside of our own egos, invites and allows room for God in the pastoral encounter and keeps the relationship open for invited dialogue with the patient.

The project of this contribution is to show that another way of thinking the practice analysis is emerging today, by “mutating” analysing to problematising/animating to accompanying/the group to the accompanying collective, and by placing the exhibitor in an analysing situation and not analysed one. This mutation is part of the theoretical framework of problematisation and in the understanding we currently have of accompanying. It is reexamining the concept of an experiential approach and the tension of its dual heritage: the North American current that supports the idea of experimentation and the European Bildung current that develops the idea of experience and the search for meaning.

Work integration social enterprises (WiSEs) are a type of social enterprise aimed at facilitating access to the ordinary labour market to people at risk of social exclusion. They are transitional structures (SIIS, 2011; Gregg, 2008) given that they attempt to be bridges between the at-risk situation before the labour market and access to employment in an ordinary company. In order to do so, they provide employment in a supported environment, hence giving additional opportunities to develop competencies as well as providing social accompaniment. The very heart of activities in WISEs, where qualification, production and social accompaniment processes have interplay mutually, turns them into labour contexts featured by hybrid rationales, a mix of productive and social organizations (Campi, Defourny & Grégoire, 2006; Quintão, 2007; Doherty, Haugh, & Lyon, 2014; Adam et al., 2017). This, together with the importance of local contexts (Glémain, 2018) contribute to a strong idiosyncratic character of every WISE. Even if research has identified positive impact of WISEs in terms of access to employment, retaining employment and improving support networks as well as professional competencies, less attention has been paid to the processes through which these results are achieved (Hiu-Kwan Chui, Y Shum, & S Lum, 2019). Nevertheless, literature points to an interdependence among the different levels and dimensions of the dynamics of WISEs (Adam et al., 2017; Martínez-Rueda, Galarreta, & Arostegui, 2018). It is therefore relevant to identify the dimensions and factors that influence work processes, foster learning and support, contribute to improve employability and facilitate transition into the ordinary labour market. Aims This article attempts to identify and describe the key dimensions and practices that WISEs develop in their effort to improve employability of their workers with insertion contracts. In order to do so, the article has the following aims: - Identifying dimensions or key factors around which accompanying and training processes are arranged. - Describing organizational practices that WISEs develop in their attempt to foster employability. - Featuring training and accompanying processes in these hybrid and transitional structures. Suggesting in the shape of an agenda the key issues that WISEs have to address in the coming years. Methodology This paper is framed within the literature around case studies that analyze in qualitative ways success factors behind WISEs (Adam et al., 2017). We have performed content analysis of the research reports prepared by couples of researchers after their observations in WISEs, adapting the model of learning trajectories (Eraut, 2009, Marhuenda, 2018). We also conducted interviews to workers with integration contracts as well as to their support workers, as well as two questionnaries of employability, CUFEE (Martínez-Rueda, Aróstegui & Galarreta, 2018) and CEMI (Llinares, Zacarés & Córdoba, 2016). Results We have grouped results in three sections. First, as a consequence of describing WISEs as hybrid organizations, we have identified several organizational factors that have an impact upon the development of accompanying and qualification processes: type of relation between the WISE and its promoting institution, the kind of relations with the companies in the same occupational sector, the different kinds of organization of productive activities as well as the features of the workers with integration contracts and the support staff. Second, we describe the features of the accompanying processes upon analysis of their structuration levels and the stages around which it is developed. We have not only shown the diversity of shapes that accompanying takes in a variety of WISEs, but we have also provided evidence of the links between the levels of structuration and the degree of awareness of workers in integration processes. In relation to the stages, we have found a better definition of access and transition phases rather than the longer developmental phase in-between. Third, training processes are described in their variety of types and after the factors affecting them. As an example, work-based learning is strongly conditioned by the training potential of the job and the availability of training support. Furthermore, we have identified the participation in processes of formal learning and accreditation as a key element to improve employability. Finally, we have analyzed the influence of the awareness and role of integration workers. Our paper provides a multidimensional analytical framework to address productive, training and accompanying processes of WISEs in an integrated way, identifying some key factors that may increase the employability of integration workers. Conclusions, cautions and contributions of the article According to our findings, we dare to give some conclusions and implications both for professionals as well as for researchers that can be considered in order to improve the results of WISEs: - Need of multidimensional approaches in the analysis of accompanying and qualification practices. - Relevance of networks and cooperation mechanisms of promoting institutions and ordinary companies with training resources, as key determinants of accompanying and qualification processes. - Considering the productive organization as a matrix to design accompanying and qualification processes. - The main variables with an impact upon the training ability of WISEs are the following: reference to a qualification within the National Catalogue of Professional Qualifications, processes of cooperative and teamwork, levels of required production (with a role that can be either facilitating or hindering), and diversity of job positions and spaces. - Need to develop a reliable and valid system to assess employability that contributes to standardize the process of selection, as well as the evaluation and impact of WISEs. - Need to design an educational model of its own that, relying upon reference to the job, is able to develop a variety of strategies to assure a qualification matching the existing ones in the ordinary labour market. - Such an educational model needs to include to key references: occupational profiles linked to jobs and systematization of support upon training routines associated to the professional staff development. - The educational model needs to be supplemented by training processes on-the-job with participation in formal accreditation processes, to enhance training in the workplace. The limitations of our research are related to the size of the sample. Despite the variety of productive sectors portrayed, the fact that one of them -recycling- is overrepresented (as so it is among Spanish WISEs), invites us to confirm our results in other sectors. Summarizing, the article has presented a comprehensive model of the management, accompanying and training processes in WISEs that, taking into account their complexity and diversity, allows us to articulate and relate their different dimensions as the necessary basis to consider a future that is becoming more demanding.

Support to professional development and even to professionalization of workers, such as teachers, trainers, nurses, social workers, leaders, etc., is currently raising researcher's interest especially in Education Sciences. Nevertheless, little research has been conducted on non-graduates young people's accompaniment while many programs have been developed, especially in France, to support their professional integration. The purpose of this paper is to examine the links between trainers' accompanying logic and the conscious awareness of competencies of young people without qualifications. This study highlights how support practices are organized by trainers to help young people in precarious situations to become aware of their competencies by encouraging their reflexivity, their autonomy and their interactions with the others.

Natural landscape is an important resource for mountainous regions and play crucial role in tourism development. Tourism play a key role in economic development of a country. Developing tourist areas is the key to meet the expectations of mountain inhabitants, tourists, and the general public outside of mountainous areas. In order to know tourist perception, problems, and role of landscape & horticulture plants in the field of tourism. A research study entitled “Role of facilities available and un-available in attracting of tourist in swat valley Pakistan “The data was collected from the respondents through a questionnaire survey and analyzed using percentages, frequencies and Chi-square test (where applicable). The analyzed data revealed that most of the respondent (55 %) considered natural green environment as a reason for their visit and 67 % respondents wanted to visit with their friends and were satisfied with the tourist area, respectively. Most of the respondent (39 %) observed throwing of surplus food as major waste materials which turned the beautiful green environment into unattractive environment. Most of the visitors (52 %) dislike un-cleanliness of the locality, 74% respondents felt ill effect due to deforestation.53 % tourist disagree with the current maintenance of the locality by tourism department. The most missed facilities were non availability of dustbins and children playing areas. 75 % respondents agreed with the fact that most of the people (local inhabitants as well as tourist) were unaware with regard to maintenance activities of the area 15.7 % respondent agreed that road system should be improved to access most of the greenery in the locality, respectively to aware local people and tourist regarding maintenance of the locality will improve tourism in Swat valley. The studies need to be develop for the improvement of existing as well as artificial landscape of the tourist area (Kalam and Malamjabba) of Swat valley.

To speak of existential anthropology is to make a commitment to engage directly with life as it is lived, in all its empirical diversity and complexity, and to reflect that life in one's writing. Tim Ingold's work exemplifies this view and implies a critique of an idealist anthropology centred on disembodied and decontextualized concepts of culture, while offering us a pragmatist method for avoiding the impasse of abstract theory on the one hand and models of material determinism on the other.

Even though the education faculties tried to resist, the professionalization finally came to the forefront in 2001 with a ministerial regulation setting the obligation of graduate training in school management. Guided in 2008 by a "reference of skills", it is intended for the professional socialization of directors of educational institutions by endowing them with solid knowledge, both theoretical and practical and accompanying them in their professional integration. This contribution is based on a study conducted as part of a university-school board partnership. A questionnaire and some interviews with 70 institutional vice-principals were used to analyze the data, highlighting a difficulty in using university research results in practical settings and revealing a challenge with the design of the program, training, support arrangements and evaluation mechanisms. A reflection is emerging around the challenges of the improvement of training and professional socialization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The accompanying activity as experienced by educational advisors during interviews with directions, seems to be characterized by a structural treatment of uncertainty through investigation. The latter may target the very purpose of the accompaniment, the contextualized characteristics of the subject of the accompaniment or the object, tools and strategies of the accompanying activity. Having opted for the epistemology of activity, we have developed a tool to approach mental activity (mental acting out) and crossed it with the scheme of inquiry by John Dewey. In this paper we present some products of our doctoral research characterizing the accompanying activity of educational advisors from the free network of primary education in the French-speaking part of Belgium.

Collaborating with a school teacher team engaged in an innovative project, searchers proposed an accompanying device. It tried to promote a common culture appropriation in this team composed by several new teachers. The pupils « work plan », considered as a relevant practice by the teachers, was particularly studied. In an experienced teacher classroom, the pupils « work plan » was filmed and his activity was analysed. During a common session, the whole teacher team watched and analysed this teacher's activity. In this session, a novive teacher activity and the way the teachers justified their « work plan » practice were analysed. It characterized this teacher team common culture and its appropriation by the novice teacher.

In the last decades, hospitals have created strategies to humanize the health assistance, among these there is the implementation of toy library. This study had as general objective investigate the perception of the accompanying of pediatric patients on these spaces. There were 39 accompanying participants of four hospitals. For this investigation we used a semi-structure interview script, and the collected data were analyzed using content analysis. The results indicated that the participants conceptualize the playroom from the activities that are held in the space and the relationships established between people and the objects found there. Also, they consider it as a promoter of development and welfare. The play was understood by accompanying as part of being a child experience and allows it in the hospital favors the preservation of an important component of children's routine. In summary, the accompanying evaluated the playroom as a space of health and development promotion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ability to read music fluently is fundamental for undergraduate music study yet the training of sight-reading is often neglected. This study compares approaches to sight-reading and accompanying by students with extensive sight-reading experience to those with limited experience, and evaluates the importance of this skill to advanced pianists and the type of strategies they use when sight-reading. Analysis of 74 survey-interviews highlights the importance of sight-reading, and indicates underdeveloped sight-reading skills and a substantial lack of experience in sight-reading and accompanying in advanced pianists. Significant differences in accompanying practice emerged between the groups with no/little and extensive sight-reading experience. The analysis of a number and the type of strategies used during sight-reading suggests individual approaches and distinct paths in the development of the skill. The findings emphasise the need for a new approach in the development of sight-reading curricula for higher education. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The article presents a model of mediation practice emerged from a public resource that integrates the needs expressed by participants and observed by the mediators, not normally considered as part of the "classic" mediation model and that, however, yield results in practice. It is the mediation model as accompanying decision-making processes to family changes. Moreover, the article refers to the need for a redefinition of mediation in the professional context in which it is registered, carried out by the mediators themselves, as the only way to "define" clearly the work actually performed and provided, thus, coordination, interaction and communication with other actors who are part of the area of family support.

Once we started the training program regarding the profile of the social workers working with families and children in problem situations, we established a group of local trainers for the program. Thus, we focused our interest on applying this new component to the social intervention field, on the profile developed by the trainers and on their contributions to the existent practices, as well as on the dynamics they create as both social workers and local trainers. Holding this double role, they transmit their knowledge, know-how, and experience throughout the presentation of various modules and the accompanying actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: After a quick review on the origin of palliative care, the author describes and analyses the different steps by which a multidisciplinary team in pediatric reanimation has to go through to accompany parents of a dying child: from the announcement of the lethal prognosis to the relationships that can still continue with the families after the death of their child. In the last part of the document few questions are raised about how the medical staff should accompany Jean and his parents. Three essentials conditions are needed to help the medical team in the accompaniment of a child and the family: 1) each member of the medical team needs a psychological stability. Indeed, because of the idea of death, the therapists can be confronted with their own old personal or professional mourning trouble; 2) meetings are essential to analyze the reality of each child: when there is no more curative solutions left, there is still psychological and emotional supports that needs to be done; 3) working with a colleague can diminish anxiety, loneliness and guilt of not being able to safe the child. In conclusion, the author testifies that accompanying a dying child is an enrichment. Deny the emotional aspect that the medical team can have is not a good solution because after a while, individuals can suffer of depression or can become a cold therapist. On the personal side, working with dying children helps to think about the sense of life. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

This pilot project aims to test and see the relevance of the direct observation method to collect data on the barriers and facilitators to attending public places by seniors with TBI. The study is based on the conceptual framework VADA WHO which focuses on the development of friendly built and technological environments for seniors. Three elderly people participated in the study, recruited from an ongoing project, The Citizen Intervention in Community Living (APIC), in the presence of their personalized attendant. The study shows the feasibility of the method in terms of its acceptability and resources mobilized. It shows its relevance to access additional data that would have been difficult to obtain using others methods (e.g., semi-structured interview), such as the identification of the strategies used by the participants to address the obstacles encountered (avoidance, travel planning, use of physical and preventative support of the personalized attendant).
