A novel conversation-analytically informed paradigm was used to examine how joint decision-making interaction, with its various types of proposal sequences, is reflected in the physiological responses of participants. Two types of dyads–dyads with one depressed and one non-depressed participant (N = 15) and dyads with two non-depressed participants (N = 15)–engaged in a series of conversational joint decision-making tasks, during which we measured their skin conductance (SC) responses. We found that the participants’ SC response rates were higher and more synchronized during proposal sequences than elsewhere in the conversation. Furthermore, SC response rates were higher when the participant was in the role of a proposal speaker (vs. a proposal recipient), and making a proposal was associated with higher SC response rates for participants with depression (vs. participants without depression). Moreover, the SC response rates in the proposal speaker were higher when the recipient accepted (vs. not accepted) the proposal. We interpret this finding with reference to accepting responses suggesting a commitment to future action, for which the proposal speaker may feel specifically responsible for. A better understanding of the physiological underpinnings of joint decision-making interaction may help improve democratic practices in contexts where certain individuals experience challenges in this regard.

AbstractHeightened physiological responses to uncertainty are a common hallmark of anxiety disorders. Many separate studies have examined the relationship between individual differences in intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and physiological responses to uncertainty during different contexts. Despite this, little is known about the extent to which physiological responses during different uncertain contexts covary within individuals based on IU. Anticipatory physiological responses to uncertainty were assessed in three different contexts (associative threat learning, basic threat uncertainty, decision-making) within the same sample (n = 45). During these tasks, behavioural responses (i.e. reaction times, choices), skin conductance and corrugator supercilli activity were recorded. In addition, self-reported IU and trait anxiety were measured. IU made different contributions to the physiological measures during each task. IU was found to modulate both skin conductance and corrugator supercilii activity for the associative threat learning and decision-making contexts. However, trait anxiety was found to modulate corrugator supercilii activity during the basic threat uncertainty context. Ultimately, this research helps us further tease apart the role of IU in different uncertain contexts, which will be relevant for future IU-related models of psychopathology.

"Molly Monster" is a perfect example of preparing the preschool audience for openness and respect for difference, tolerance, dialogue and listening, cooperation, joint decision making and wise acceptance of change. The film, showing how the main character, Molly, eagerly and joyfully awaits a big change in her family life - the birth of a sister or a brother, and emphasizes the importance of family ties, can therefore inspire to accept changes and adapt to new situations. In addition, the film presents a land where every inhabitant is very different - in size or physical appearance, and the story teaches that being different does not disturb cooperation, mutual help or making joint decisions and taking actions. The film presents an open approach to traditional social roles, emphasizes the role of self-confidence, but also the importance of admitting one's mistake and freedom in decision making.

It has found that the construction sector of Pakistan is growing fast due to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor but history shows that construction projects never achieves its targets. The literature revealed the major hurdles behind the construction is supply chain issues. Supply chain of construction is deficient due to lack of collaboration and integration. The aim of this study is the empirically verify the role of supply chain collaboration (information sharing, Joint decision making, and risk and reward sharing) and supply chain integration (supplier integration, internal integration, and customer integration) with performance. This is a quantitative study, a total of 350 questionnaires were distributed to registered construction firms with Pakistan Engineering Council and 221 were received and considered for analysis after purification, validity and reliability. Multiple-regression technique was applied through SPSS. This study has unique findings as all integration approaches have significant effects while collaboration is not working for the same industry. This proves that members of supply chain construction can get benefit from integration but they hesitate to share their risks, rewards, and planning to all stakeholders. This study will help managers in decision making. This study will also help the government of Pakistan and China in completing their construction projects in time and with the designated cost.

Abstract The purpose of this study is how the participatory planning decision-making process in Musrembang in TTS Regency. Based on the purpose of this study, the qualitative approach is the right choice because it is oriented towards efforts to deepen understanding of decision making in the District Musrembang as well as identifying factors that influence decision making in TTS districts to produce an equilibrium of technocrat and participatory planning in TTS districts. Data collection techniques with in-depth interviews/ focus discussion groups (FGD), documentary studies and online data search. The results of the assessment show that community participation through the Musrenbang as in these regulations/mandates that regional development planning is carried out based on the roles and authorities of each stakeholder to realize integration, synchronization, and synergy between stakeholders. In its implementation, the role of the community is limited to proposing programs/activities carried out through the Musrenbang at the hamlet/village level and delivered in the District Musrenbang forum. In the sub-district Musrenbang stage, the proposed program of activities is often missing or not accommodated. Musrenbang is a forum between stakeholders in agreeing on priority programs and activities through joint decision making which can be done in a participatory or technocratic way as one indicator that can determine the success of regional development.   Keywords: Decision Making, stakeholders, Musrenbang   Abstrak Tujuan pengkajian ini adalah bagaimana proses pengambilan keputusan perencanaan partisipatif dalam Musrembang Kecamatan di Kabupaten TTS. Berdasarkan tujuan dari penelitian  ini maka pendekatan kualitatif menjadi pilihan yang tepat karena berorientasi pada upaya pendalaman pemahaman akan pengambilan keputusan dalam Musrembang Kecamatan serta mengidentifikasi factor-faktor yang mempengaruhi  pengambilan keputusan di kabupaten TTS sehingga menghasilkan equilibrium perencanaan teknokrat dan partisipatif di Kabupaten TTS. Teknik pengambilan data dengan wawancara mendalam, focus discussion group (FGD), studi dokumenter dan penelusuran data online. Hasil pengkajian menunjukkan partisipasi masyarakat melalui Musrenbang sebagaimana dalam peraturan-peraturan tersebut, mengamanatkan bahwa perencanaan pembangunan daerah dilakukan berdasarkan peran dan kewenangan masing-masing stakeholder guna mewujudkan integrasi, sinkronisasi dan sinergisitas antar pemangku kepentingan (stakeholders).  Dalam implementasinya, peran masyarakat hanya sebatas mengusulkan program/kegiatan yang dilakukan melalui Musrenbang di tingkat dusun/desa dan disampaikan dalam forum Musrenbang Kecamatan.  Dalam tahapan Musrenbang kecamatan seringkali program kegiatan yang diusulkan hilang atau tidak diakomodir.  Musrenbang merupakan forum antar pemangku kepentingan dalam menyepakati program dan kegiatan prioritas   melalui pengambilan keputusan bersama dapat dilakukan  secara  partisipatif maupun teknokratis sebagai salah satu indicator yang  dapat menentukan keberhasilan pembangunan daerah.   Kata Kunci : Pengambilan Keputusan, stakeholders, Musrenbang

Recently, the importance of comorbid infections in rheumatology has increased significantly, which have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality, especially in immuno-inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IIRD). In this regard, vaccination is becoming increasingly important in the prevention of infections in these patients. This review presents an updated version of the recommendations for vaccination of adult patients with IIRD, prepared by experts of the European Union League against Rheumatism (EULAR). There is a low (suboptimal) vaccination coverage of these patients, partly due to the low frequency of referral by doctors. The role of the rheumatology team in solving the problems associated with immunization of patients with IIRD is emphasized, as well as the importance of joint decision-making taking into account the needs and preferences of patients. The issues concerning the use of vaccines against influenza, pneumococcal infection, hepatitis B,

Partnership between missions (the organizations of expatriate missionaries working under a common sending agency in a particular locale) and national churches (the cooperating bodies of national Christians to which the missions relate, called “conventions/unions” in this article) has emerged as a critical issue in world evangelization. One attempt at just and effective partnerships between missions and conventions/unions is the Declaration of Ibadan. Its engaging features include the proposed role of the mission, joint decision making regarding evangelism among unreached people groups, and the deployment of missionary personnel. This article is a reflection on the proposals set forth in the Ibadan Declaration with particular reference to their implications for evangelism.
