1 Embodiment of the consumption structure variable in Shanghai municipal solid waste management regulations
Source publication
Waste management systems have always been considered complex. Scholars have studied waste management mostly from a macro perspective for a long time, considering waste management policies as a fraction of this complex system. This study presents the causal variables and feedback relationships related to waste management from another perspective, fr...

... The framework categorizes barriers into emotion, logic, knowledge, and resource-related, providing insights into the specific reasons behind patients' actions and decisions in selfmanaging hypertension. Originally applied in various fields such as education [21], engineering [22], sustainability [23] and beyond, the TASKS framework's adaptability presents a novel avenue for exploring personalized barriers in hypertension self-management. This research aims to evaluate the framework's effectiveness in identifying these barriers, marking a significant step towards enhancing patient-centered care and improving selfmanagement outcomes in hypertension. ...
Objective
Effective management of hypertension requires not only medical intervention but also significant patient self-management. The challenge, however, lies in the diversity of patients' personal barriers to managing their condition. The objective of this research is to identify and categorize personalized barriers to hypertension self-management using the TASKS framework (Task, Affect, Skills, Knowledge, Stress). This study aims to enhance patient-centered strategies by aligning support with each patient's specific needs, recognizing the diversity in their unique circumstances, beliefs, emotional states, knowledge levels, and access to resources. This research is based on observations from a single study focused on eight patients, which may have been a part of a larger project.
Results
The analysis of transcripts from eight patients and the Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines revealed 69 personalized barriers. These barriers were distributed as follows: emotional barriers (49%), knowledge barriers (24%), logical barriers (17%), and resource barriers (10%). The findings highlight the significant impact of emotional and knowledge-related challenges on hypertension self-management, including difficulties in home blood pressure monitoring and the use of monitoring tools. This study emphasizes the need for tailored interventions to address these prevalent barriers and improve hypertension management outcomes.
This study proposed an Environment-Based Design (EBDEA) to develop a draft of information literacy assessment criteria (ILAC), to improve the efficiency of developing ILAC. The approach is validated using two methods. Firstly, a case study is conducted to create ILAC for K-12 students by the EBDEA, resulting in four first-tier and 21 s-tier criteria. These were compared with the ILAC from the International Association for Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). The comparison revealed a high degree of consistency between the two sets of ILAC, with the EBDEA-generated ILAC including several additional items that are integral to the criteria but absent in IEA's version. Subsequently, expert evaluation was employed to affirm the effectiveness of the EBDEA, with the majority of experts expressing satisfaction with the ILAC developed via this method. The findings indicate that EBDEA is an efficient approach for developing ILAC, requiring less time and fewer human resources.
