“…These factors may differ for migrants in Australia. Generally, non-English speaking migrants have higher trust in the Australian government compared to other Australians (29). However, negative experiences with the government in their home countries and the Australian government and experience of racism, exclusion and alienation from Australian society were reported as contributing factors (30).…”

“…A recent survey in 2021 has shown that a high percentage of Australians has negative views about migrants from some of the Eastern Mediterranean Region countries (more than 40%) and Muslim Australian (32%). It also reported that 34% of people born in non-English speaking countries experienced discrimination because of their skin colour, ethnic origin or religion (29). It is important that migrants' experiences with the government, the health system and the general public are considered in health communications.…”

Background: Vaccination is a cornerstone of public health measurements to mitigate the burden of COVID-19 infection. For health equity, information needs to be accessible to all members of society to allow for informed decision-making about COVID-19 vaccines. We sought to investigate barriers that migrants living in Australia faced in accessing official information about COVID-19 vaccines and identify potential solutions. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative study design. Seventeen adults living in Australia and born in the World Health Organization’s Eastern Mediterranean Region participated in a semi-structured interview conducted via telephone. Participants were recruited using advertising through social media platforms. The interviews were conducted between December 2021 and February 2022. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Results: Barriers to accessing official information about COVID-19 vaccines were related to unmet language needs, methods of dissemination, and mistrust in official sources of information. To overcome barriers, participants suggested improving the quality and timeliness of language support, using diverse modes of dissemination, working with members of migrant communities, providing opportunities for two-way communication, communicating uncertainty, and building a broader foundation of trust. Conclusion: Information about COVID-19 vaccines during different stages of the vaccination program should be provided in migrants’ languages at the same time that it is available in English using a variety of methods for dissemination. The acceptability of official information can be improved by communicating uncertainty, acknowledging people’s concerns about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and providing opportunities for two-way communication. People’s trust in official sources of health information can be improved by working with migrant communities and recognising migrants’ contributions to society. The findings of this study may improve managing the response to COVID-19 and other health emergencies in Australia and in other similar societies.

“…Pada kajian ruang interaksi sosial anak-anak disabilitas, akses adalah prasyarat penting untuk mewujudkan keterikatan pada komunitas (Francis 1989). (Markus dan Kirpitchenko 2007) Moore (1989) berpendapat bahwa pada dasarnya anak-anak memiliki hak dasar manusia untuk bermain sebagai bagian pengalaman belajar, ditambahkan oleh Gump (1978) bahwa kualitas kehidupan anak sangat dipengaruhi oleh kualitas lingkungan yang mereka tinggali. Sehingga, Berns (2007) dalam Hidayati (2011) mengatakan bahwa para orang tua, sekolah, para penyedia jasa layanan masyarakat, dan berbagai pihak dapat membantu anak-anak berkembang menjadi orang dewasa yang sehat dan produktif dengan bekerja sama membangun lingkungan yang sehat secara sosial.…”

Abstrak_Interaksi sosial pada umumnya didefinisikan sebagai hubungan antara dua individu atau lebih yang diwujudkan dalam suatu aktivitas pada tempat tertentu. Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus (ABK) sebagai bagian yang tidak bisa dipisahkan dari kehidupan sosial pada praktiknya membutuhkan dukungan melalui interaksi sosial dan lingkungan yang kondusif sehingga dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup mereka. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji keterkaitan ruang interaksi sosial ABK dan kualitas hidup di Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB). Pengamatan behavior mapping dengan teknik place centered mapping diterapkan dalam penelitian ini untuk memperoleh data terkait karakter pengguna, setting fisik, dan pola aktivitas yang terjadi. Terkait penilaian kualitas hidup ABK, peneliti mengadaptasi instrumen Kidscreen-52 dengan mengambil aspek Physical dan Psychological Well-Being, Moods and Emotions, Autonomy, dan Social Support and Peers. Kelima aspek tersebut disusun ke dalam kuesioner, selanjutnya melibatkan 29 ABK dengan berbagai jenis ketunaan dan jenjang kelas sebagai responden. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa lingkungan SLB memiliki peran positif sebagai ruang interaksi sosial, selain mampu memenuhi kelima aspek kualitas hidup ABK tersebut di atas. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa interaksi sosial ABK juga dipengaruhi oleh jenis ketunaan dan jenjang kelas, selanjutnya akan berpengaruh pada preferensi setting fisik dan jenis aktivitas yang dilakukan.

“…Moreover, we consider the interaction between economic and social factors by studying the informational role of social cohesion in each state with the impact of uncertainty on U.S. housing markets. Social cohesion is the concept that has been used by policymakers since the 1990s in the developed economies and is often referred to as the "glue" to keep the societies together [22][23][24]. Up to now, there is no consensus on the formal definition of social cohesion in the academic literature.…”

“…Up to now, there is no consensus on the formal definition of social cohesion in the academic literature. The theoretical discussions about the concept of social cohesion in an economic domain have attracted great attention from academic researchers and policymakers following an influential paper by Reference [25] (See Reference [24] for a review of relevant literature). Social cohesion is considered to be a key factor to promote people's well-being, a condition for social and political stability, a justification for government spending on social policies, and a source of the sustainable development of economic growth.…”

While considering the role of social cohesion, we analyse the impact of uncertainty on housing markets across the 50 states of the United States, plus the District of Columbia, using the local projection method for panel data. We find that both short-term and long-term measurements of macroeconomic and financial uncertainties reduce real housing returns, with the strongest effect originated from the macro-economic uncertainty over the long term. Moreover, the degree of social cohesion does not change the nature of the impact of uncertainty on real housing returns dramatically, but the size of the negative effects is relatively large for states with low social cohesion.
