“…In addition, to achieve a perfect health degree physically, mentally, and socially, public must be able to recognize and realize their aspirations and needs and be able to change or overcome their environment, either physical environment, social environment, or cultural environment. Further explained based on previous research, providing sexual health information for adolescents can increase motivation in the process of good behavior including avoiding sexual behavior, alcohol and smoking [17], [18]. Therefore, it can be concluded that health promotion is an effort to influence other people, individuals, groups/school communities, and public to have a healthy lifestyle, whereas operationally, health education is an activity to provide and or increase public knowledge, attitudes, and practice in maintaining good health or in improving their own health [19], [20].…”

Risky sexual behavior is a health problem among adolescents whose cases continue to increase along with technological developments. It needs to be overcome by increasing self-efficacy among adolescents. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview and influence of the implementation of “PEKA BERAKSI” on self-efficacy in adolescents to prevent risky sexual behavior. This study used quasi-experimental design with pre and posttest without control group method. The study involved 275 students. The instrument used to measure the variables of self-efficacy was measured with the instrument developed by researchers. The variable risky sexual behaviour was measured with the instrument sexual risk survey. The finding showed that there was a significant difference in self-efficacy in adolescents in preventing risky sexual behavior before and after the intervention 0.001. The results of statistical tests found a p<em>-</em>value of 0.006 which means that there is a significant effect between the “PEKA BERAKSI” intervention and risky sexual behavior. Based on these results, recommended for health services to make the innovation program that focuses health education for adolescents and health promotion at schools. Furthermore, the results of this intervention as basic data in developing school health clinics and integrating subjects with health education for adolescents.

“…Unlike Arinola et al. ( 2014 ) and Jayasundara ( 2021 ), who noted that the inadequacy of library materials contributes to unacceptable behaviors among library users in some universities, this study has used objective data and rigorous methodology to illustrate that library resource constraints lead to frustration, which also leads to the stealing of books.…”

PurposeThe lack of requisite library resources has an enormous effect on academic life in most universities. While previous studies have suggested that the lack of resources such as textbooks affects academic success, this study seeks to provide empirical evidence on the chain effect of the lack of recommended textbooks in universities.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a quantitative dataset from 636 students from five public universities in Ghana collected using well‐structured questionnaires. The study adopts exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) to analyze the measurement and structural models.FindingsThe study concludes that limited library resources (such as recommended textbooks) frustrate library users and eventually birth antisocial behaviors such as stealing, hiding, and eroding books (or pages).Originality/valueThis study highlights the significance of providing adequate library resources. It also guides library managers, policymakers, and scholars to manage library resources effectively.

“…Contextualizing the study of information seeking behavior becomes a trend. Researchers take different context factors into account when explaining search behaviors, for example, motivations, topics, task types, etc (Bronstein and Lidor, 2020; Jayasundara, 2021). Users' behavior including cognition is generated with specific search contexts.…”

PurposeExisting literature has elicited the external behaviors of cross-device search but not much is known about users' cognition of cross-device search. The study aims to explore how users perceive the cross-device search by combining with the mental models and how motivations affect the users' understanding of cross-device search.Design/methodology/approachThe research questions are addressed through semi-structured face-to-face interviews with 59 users. Prior to the interview, the user is asked to complete a cross-device search task designed with the simulation of controlled and autonomous motivations to gain a real experience. The concepts of mental models are coded according to the constructivist grounded theory method.FindingsThe study finds the users' mental models of cross-device search consist of four dimensions: Element, Quality, Function and Issue. The effect of motivation on the mental models is tested as significant in terms of the Quality and Function aspects. The controlled motivation affects the user's perception of how the device switch influence the search and the autonomous motivation influences the user's opinion of search system functions.Originality/valueThe contribution of this study is found to extend the existing knowledge of cross-device search and update the mental models of information search in the current multi-device environment. The findings inform the future study of cross-device search and practices of search system design.
