The present study of etio-epidemiology of vomition in dogs was carried out amongst the dogs presented at Veterinary Clinical Complex, AAU, Anand. A total of 50 cases of vomiting dogs were selected for this study. Investigation of etiological factors associated with vomition revealed that 50.00% vomiting cases were due to dietary abnormalities, 24.00% due to Parvo viral infection, 10.00% due to parasitic infestation, 8.00% renal disorders, 6.00% due to hepatic disorders, and 2.00% due to pyometra. The epidemiological parameters like sex, breed, and age were recorded. During the sex-wise incidence of vomition was found more in male (64.00 %) than in female (36.00 %) dogs. The breed-wise incidence of vomition was recorded highest (32.00 %)in Mongrel, followed by Labrador Retriever (28.00 %), Spitz (12.00 %), Doberman Pinscher (8.00 %), German Shepherd (10.00 %), Great Dane 4%, Beagle (2.00 %), Lasa Aphso (2.00 %), and Pug (2.00 %) . The age-wise incidence of vomition was recorded higher (58.00%) in 0-6 months age group, followed by (24%) in 7 months to 3 years age group and (18%) in 3-8 years age group. Clinical examination revealed dehydration, dullness, congested to anemic mucus membranes, inappetence to anorexia, tachycardia, melaena, haematemesis, diarrhea, and clear lungs. On abdominal palpation, there was mild pain in dogs affected with renal and hepatic disorders.

This study presents a mixed methods evaluation of a transdiagnostic Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) group intervention, for adults with long-term health conditions (LTHCs). It aims to assess whether group completion was associated with improved outcomes in mood, overall well-being and the extent of LTHC interference in confidence for managing daily activities. Additionally, it examines the extent to which changes were related to processes targeted by CFT. The ‘Living Well with Illness’ group consisted of eleven weekly sessions, ten in group format and one individual formulation session at the course midpoint. Group participants were under the care of a medical consultant for their LTHC and were referred by a Psychology in Healthcare clinician. Outcome measurement data was collected from participants who attended groups conducted between January 2018 to January 2020. These measures assessed levels of anxiety, depression, overall well-being and confidence engaging in daily activities. Processes targeted by CFT were also measured including self-compassion and self-criticism. Additionally, qualitative questionnaire feedback was collated and analysed using conventional content analysis. The current study revealed a significant reduction in scores of anxiety and depression. A significant improvement was observed for well-being and confidence for engaging in daily activities. Additionally, a significant improvement was seen in self-compassion and a concurrent reduction in levels of self-criticism. Qualitative findings provided support for changes in self-compassion, utility of compassion-focused strategies and the benefits of a transdiagnostic group format. The findings of this study suggest CFT is an effective therapeutic approach to improve psychological well-being in LTHCs and that this can be delivered in a transdiagnostic group format.

Authors: Huberty Jennifer , Bhuiyan Nishat , Puzia Megan , Joeman Lynda , Larkey Linda , Mesa Ruben
Published: August 2022

Background

To address the unmet need for a commercial cancer-specific meditation app, we leveraged a long-standing partnership with a consumer-based app (ie, Calm) to develop the first commercial meditation app prototype adapted specifically for the needs of patients with cancer. Input was obtained at both the individual user and clinic levels (ie, patients with and survivors of cancer and health care providers).

Objective

This study aimed to determine the feasibility of a cancer-specific meditation app prototype.

Methods

Patients with and survivors of cancer who were recruited and enrolled in the feasibility randomized controlled trial were asked to use the prototype app daily (≥70 minutes per week) for 4 weeks. Participants completed web-based weekly questionnaires and a final poststudy questionnaire and were asked to participate in an optional web-based poststudy interview. The questionnaires and interviews covered the following feasibility categories: acceptability, demand, practicality, and adaptation.

Results

A total of 36 patients with and survivors of cancer completed the baseline questionnaire, 18 completed the final questionnaire, and 6 completed the optional interviews. Weekly and poststudy questionnaires indicated high overall enjoyment, ease of use, and satisfaction with the app content, aesthetics, and graphics. The objective use data indicated that the average total app use rate was 73.39 (SD 7.12) minutes per week. Interviews (N=6) revealed positive and mixed responses to the app prototype and informative differences related to preferences for narrators, emotional content, and meditation teaching but an overall appreciation for the variety of options.

Conclusions

The most likely candidates for moving from cancer-specific meditation apps to dissemination are through partnering with the industry, in which name recognition and market distribution are already established (even showing a base of users from the targeted population with cancer). This study established the feasibility of a cancer-specific mobile meditation app prototype for patients with and survivors of cancer, using a commercially available app. The quantitative and qualitative data demonstrated the acceptability, demand, practicality, and adaptation of the prototype. Improvements suggested by the participants will be considered in the final app design before testing the efficacy of the app in a future study.

User-Initiated Symptom Assessment With an Electronic Symptom Checker: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Validation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Liu Ville , Koskela Tuomas H , Kaila Minna
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

The national Omaolo digital social welfare and health care service of Finland provides a symptom checker, Omaolo, which is a medical device (based on Duodecim Clinical Decision Support EBMEDS software) with a CE marking (risk class IIa), manufactured by the government-owned DigiFinland Oy. Users of this service can perform their triage by using the questions in the symptom checker. By completing the symptom checker, the user receives a recommendation for action and a service assessment with appropriate guidance regarding their health problems on the basis of a selected specific symptom in the symptom checker. This allows users to be provided with appropriate health care services, regardless of time and place.

OBJECTIVE

This study describes the protocol for the mixed methods validation process of the symptom checker available in Omaolo digital services.

METHODS

This is a mixed methods study using quantitative and qualitative methods, which will be part of the clinical validation process that takes place in primary health care centers in Finland. Each organization provides a space where the study and the nurse triage can be done in order to include an unscreened target population of users. The primary health care units provide walk-in model services, where no prior phone call or contact is required. For the validation of the Omaolo symptom checker, case vignettes will be incorporated to supplement the triage accuracy of rare and acute cases that cannot be tested extensively in real-life settings. Vignettes are produced from a variety of clinical sources, and they test the symptom checker in different triage levels by using 1 standardized patient case example.

RESULTS

This study plan underwent an ethics review by the regional permission, which was requested from each organization participating in the research, and an ethics committee statement was requested and granted from Pirkanmaa hospital district’s ethics committee, which is in accordance with the University of Tampere’s regulations. Of 964 clinical user–filled symptom checker assessments, 877 cases were fully completed with a triage result, and therefore, they met the requirements for clinical validation studies. The goal for sufficient data has been reached for most of the chief symptoms. Data collection was completed in September 2019, and the first feasibility and patient experience results were published by the end of 2020. Case vignettes have been identified and are to be completed before further testing the symptom checker. The analysis and reporting are estimated to be finalized in 2024.

CONCLUSIONS

The primary goals of this multimethod electronic symptom checker study are to assess safety and to provide crucial information regarding the accuracy and usability of the Omaolo electronic symptom checker. To our knowledge, this will be the first study to include real-life clinical cases along with case vignettes.

Artificial Intelligence–Based Ethical Hacking for Health Information Systems: Simulation Study (Preprint)
Authors: He Ying , Zamani Efpraxia , Yevseyeva Iryna , Luo Cunjin
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

Health information systems (HISs) are continuously targeted by hackers, who aim to bring down critical health infrastructure. This study was motivated by recent attacks on health care organizations that have resulted in the compromise of sensitive data held in HISs. Existing research on cybersecurity in the health care domain places an imbalanced focus on protecting medical devices and data. There is a lack of a systematic way to investigate how attackers may breach an HIS and access health care records.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to provide new insights into HIS cybersecurity protection. We propose a systematic, novel, and optimized (artificial intelligence–based) ethical hacking method tailored specifically for HISs, and we compared it with the traditional unoptimized ethical hacking method. This allows researchers and practitioners to identify the points and attack pathways of possible penetration attacks on the HIS more efficiently.

METHODS

In this study, we propose a novel methodological approach to ethical hacking in HISs. We implemented ethical hacking using both optimized and unoptimized methods in an experimental setting. Specifically, we set up an HIS simulation environment by implementing the open-source electronic medical record (OpenEMR) system and followed the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s ethical hacking framework to launch the attacks. In the experiment, we launched 50 rounds of attacks using both unoptimized and optimized ethical hacking methods.

RESULTS

Ethical hacking was successfully conducted using both optimized and unoptimized methods. The results show that the optimized ethical hacking method outperforms the unoptimized method in terms of average time used, the average success rate of exploit, the number of exploits launched, and the number of successful exploits. We were able to identify the successful attack paths and exploits that are related to remote code execution, cross-site request forgery, improper authentication, vulnerability in the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher, an elevation of privilege vulnerability (in MediaTek), and remote access backdoor (in the web graphical user interface for the Linux Virtual Server).

CONCLUSIONS

This research demonstrates systematic ethical hacking against an HIS using optimized and unoptimized methods, together with a set of penetration testing tools to identify exploits and combining them to perform ethical hacking. The findings contribute to the HIS literature, ethical hacking methodology, and mainstream artificial intelligence–based ethical hacking methods because they address some key weaknesses of these research fields. These findings also have great significance for the health care sector, as OpenEMR is widely adopted by health care organizations. Our findings offer novel insights for the protection of HISs and allow researchers to conduct further research in the HIS cybersecurity domain.

BACKGROUND

Health care avoidance in the COVID-19 pandemic has been widely reported. Yet few studies have investigated the dynamics of hospital avoidance behavior during pandemic waves and inferred its impact on excess non–COVID-19 deaths.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to measure the impact of hospital avoidance on excess non–COVID-19 deaths in public hospitals in Hong Kong.

METHODS

This was a retrospective cohort study involving 11,966,786 patients examined between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021, in Hong Kong. All data were linked to service, treatment, and outcomes. To estimate excess mortality, the 2-stage least squares method was used with daily tallies of emergency department (ED) visits and 28-day mortality. Records for older people were categorized by long-term care (LTC) home status, and comorbidities were used to explain the demographic and clinical attributes of excess 28-day mortality. The primary outcome was actual excess death in 2020 and 2021. The 2-stage least squares method was used to estimate the daily excess 28-day mortality by daily reduced visits.

RESULTS

Compared with the prepandemic (2016-2019) average, there was a reduction in total ED visits in 2020 of 25.4% (548,116/2,142,609). During the same period, the 28-day mortality of non–COVID-19 ED deaths increased by 7.82% (2689/34,370) compared with 2016-2019. The actual excess deaths in 2020 and 2021 were 3143 and 4013, respectively. The estimated total excess non–COVID-19 28-day deaths among older people in 2020 to 2021 were 1958 (95% CI 1100-2820; no time lag). Deaths on arrival (DOAs) or deaths before arrival (DBAs) increased by 33.6% (1457/4336) in 2020, while non–DOA/DBAs increased only by a moderate 4.97% (1202/24,204). In both types of deaths, the increases were higher during wave periods than in nonwave periods. Moreover, non-LTC patients saw a greater reduction in ED visits than LTC patients across all waves, by more than 10% (non-LTC: 93,896/363,879, 25.8%; LTC: 7,956/67,090, 11.9%). Most of the comorbidity subsets demonstrated an annualized reduction in visits in 2020. Renal diseases and severe liver diseases saw notable increases in deaths.

CONCLUSIONS

We demonstrated a statistical method to estimate hospital avoidance behavior during a pandemic and quantified the consequent excess 28-day mortality with a focus on older people, who had high frequencies of ED visits and deaths. This study serves as an informed alert and possible investigational guideline for health care professionals for hospital avoidance behavior and its consequences.

Authors: PRIYA NEHA , KUMARI RINA , P WAGH SURAJ
Published: August 2022

Vitamin D deficiency is a concern of global health nowadays. Although its main role is in regulating bone metabolism, over the past few decades, its impact on non-skeletal actions has been studied. Its role as an immune modulator has been recently emphasized. Recent evidence is increasingly pointed toward the significant role of vitamin D in reducing the incidence of autoimmune diseases. Aims & Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to determine the relationship between hypothyroidism and Vitamin D deficiency. Methods: It was an Observational Study, a study conducted in the Department of Biochemistry at MGM Medical College & LSK Hospital Kishanganj, Bihar. In the present study, 50 patients and 50 healthy age and sex-matched controls were included during the study period from June 2021 to March 2022. Serum vitamin D (25-OH) levels were measured in all the patients. Vitamin D deficiency was designated at levels lower than 20 ng/ml. Thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, and T4) were also evaluated in all participants. Results: Incidence of vitamin D deficiency is significantly high among hypothyroid patients compared to normal controls (p-value = 0.036). The mean level of Vitamin D  was significantly low level among patients with hypothyroidism compared to controls (23.57 ±9.77 vs. 31.20 ±10.23 ng/ml, p-value =0.02). Pearson's correlation between vitamin D level and thyroid profile among hypothyroid cases revealed that there was a significant negative correlation between serum Vitamin D and TSH level (p-value = <0.0001). Conclusion: Deficiency of vitamin D is significantly associated with hypothyroidism, and therefore screening of vitamin D is essential for all hypothyroid patients.

Published: August 2022

Objectives: The objective of the study was to compare and evaluate efficacy of two surgical techniques for the management of primary pterygium in terms of complications and post-operative signs and symptoms.
Methods: The study included 60 patients with primary pterygium. The mean age was 42±10 years (range 22–62 years). Simple excision under local anesthesia was performed followed by closure of the bare sclera by suture less and glue free conjunctival autograft in 30 patients (Group I), versus the conventional method of a sutured conjunctival autograft in 30 patients (Group II).
Results: At Visit 1, 6 patients (20%) of Group I had Graft edema in comparison to 5 patients (16.67%) in Group II. Subcutaneous hemorrhage was noted in 6 (20%) patients in both the groups. Graft retraction was noticed in 4 patients (13.33%) in Group I and in 2 patients (6.66%) in Group II. Graft dislodgement was observed in 1 patient (3.33%) in Group I. One (3.33%) case of recurrence was reported at 6 months in Group I whereas 2 (6.67%) cases were reported in Group II. One case of Granuloma was reported in Group II. There were significantly lower post-operative signs and symptoms in Group I as compared to Group II in the 1st post-operative week and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p<0.05) at visit 1 and visit 2. The satisfaction survey revealed higher overall satisfaction score for Group I as compared to Group II.
Conclusion: Sutureless technique may be considered as a viable alternative to sutured technique in terms of surgical outcomes. It scores better in terms of post-operative symptoms when compared to sutures.

Authors: S REVATHY , J JEYASHAMBAVI , R JAWAHAR , KP UMADEVI , N PRITHIVIRAJ
Published: August 2022

Objective: According to GLOBOCAN 2020, colorectal cancer is the fourth most lethal cancer in infected patients worldwide, with 1.7 million new cases recorded each year. When we look at Indian population studies, their mortality, incidence, and prevalence rates are consistently increasing compared to other European countries. Only a few studies have been reported on the clinical profile of CRC in India. Compared to females, males are more affected. This study was carried out to study the age, sex, and size distribution of malignant colon cancer and correlate the histopathological spectrum of colonic biopsies with clinical findings.
Methods: Our study was a unicenter-based prospective study carried out over 2 years. All colonoscopic biopsies have been received in the Department of pathology, Aarupadai Medical College, and Hospital. Colonoscopies biopsies and colonic resection specimens are routinely fixed with 10% formalin and processed through an automatic tissue processor. Further, slides were stained with hematoxylin and eosin stains and examined for microscopic examination. Data generated from microscope observation were used for statistical analysis.
Results: Our study included 54 patients with colorectal cancer. Among the patients, males were outnumbered by female patients, having an M: F ratio of 1:7:1. The most common age group affected is between the ages of 61 and 70. Adenocarcinoma was the most common histological malignancy (83%), followed by mucinous adenocarcinoma (7%), neuroendocrine carcinoma (4%), signet ring cell carcinoma (4%), and malignant melanoma (2%).
Conclusion: Histopathological evaluation is the gold standard for the early detection of the gastrointestinal tract diseases, especially malignant diseases, which helps in the early prevention measures. Further, detailed studies on immunohistochemistry and molecular studies on colonoscopy biopsy specimens should be done in constant correlation with clinical features to help early detection of CRC and therapeutic prognostic purposes.

This study has as research line Nursing Education and predominant area Nursing in Child and Adolescent Health Care. Where we will address as a theme the complications related to the handling of the picc catheter (peripherally inserted central catheter) in the NEONATAL ICU. The object of the study is the Iatrogenies related to the management of PICC in UTINEO. The interest in researching the subject arose after a technical visit made in a hospital unit of the public network in the ICUNEO sector, where it was observed the use of the catheter and its implementation, being carried out by the nurse at the bedside, a fact that motivated us to carry out the study, since it brings great benefits to neonates. Qor being an invasive procedure does the correct manipulation if necessary to avoid contamination, which caused us to question whether complications in handling the PICC catheter can be avoided? Through this questioning we are ready to conduct a research that aims to identify the main complications that cause the interruption of treatment in neonates. Metodologically is a quantitative research, where the exploratory-descriptive method of bibliographic typology was used. Conclusion Given what was exposed and explored during the research trajectory, we realized that it is necessary to invest in training and continuing education programs, as well as establishment of protocols and care that allow better monitoring of the occurrence of complications related to the insertion and handling of PICC.

A Change in the Educational Gap in the East and West Regions of Daejeon Metropolitan City: Focusing on Elementary Schools
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Woo Jung-ho , Kim Do-kyun
Published: August 2022

Objectives This study analyzes the living and educational conditions that affect the education gap in the eastern and western regions of Daejeon Metropolitan City, and tries to find out how the education gap in Daejeon is changing through interviews with local elementary school teachers.
Methods In order to study the changes in living and educational conditions in the eastern and western regions of Daejeon Metropolitan City, data from the Statistics Korea and the Educational Statistical Yearbook of the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education were used. Also, a focus group interview was conducted on elementary school teachers. The target was a teacher who worked at an elementary school in the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education and had experience working at both schools in the east and west. Through FGI, We suggest a way to bridge the educational gap.
Results The living and educational conditions of Seo-gu (Seo-gu, Yuseong-gu) and Dongbu (Jung-gu, Dong-gu, Daedeok-gu) of Daejeon Metropolitan City were analyzed. In almost all regions, the east was inferior to the west, and the difference was deepening over time. In addition, elementary school teachers felt that the educational gap between the eastern and western regions of Daejeon Metropolitan City was widening.
Conclusions Guarantee policies for vulnerable students should be more aggressively implemented. Support standards should be refined and the level and causes of educational disparities by administrative district and school should be in-depth investigated so that customized support can be provided according to the characteristics of each school. In particular, it is necessary to take a multi-pronged approach, such as promoting policies that guarantee basic academic ability, expanding students' educational experiences, and raising students' interest in learning at home. Finally, since this problem is not limited to education, it is suggested that all members of Daejeon Metropolitan City should be aware of the current situation and solve it together.
What Is the Reason for Learning Art?: Changes of Learner’s Recognition on Art through Art Expression Teaching
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, KIM Sa-Ra
Published: August 2022

Objectives This study started from the fact that confinement in the formalism of art expression cannot persuade students to answer the question of ‘What is the reason for learning art?’. Hence, the purpose of this study is to clarify whether learner’s recognition on art can be changed through the case on teaching art expression.
Methods This study is done for the objects of the three 6th graders with insufficient confidence in practical skills in art. The researcher planned and practiced art expression class for one 6th grader and analyzed the study result by focusing on the student’s work and the interview details. ‘What type of person am I?’ and ‘What type of person will I want to be?’ are presented as subjects, and the artwork was planned and produced through the story-telling of the student from plan preparation. Only one student’s (alias-Ayeong) work is used with the content of the interview with the student as data due to the limit of space to understand a typical case and do analysis as the qualitative case study on researching the culture pattern.
Results A-yeong recognized art as ‘the thing not requiring the use of her head’, ‘making a thing’, and ‘the thing that is not study’ in the pre-interview and was doing an art activity like that of a kindergartener or a low grader even though she was a high grader in the elementary school. Before the actual class, she selected the best photo expressing her to talk about herself and provide the prior experience connecting the meaning and the image. She made the acrylics entitled ‘Vine’ through storytelling and expressed the mind of becoming a warm person to people around her with the huge pot decorated with the vine, the rocker, etc. The changes of learner’s recognition on art could be checked after artwork production. Those changes are ‘A drawing plays the role not replaced by a photo.’, ‘Finding self through art expression’, ‘A good artwork is unique and satisfying.’, and ‘The scope of art expression is wider than that of writing’.
Conclusions First, conversation with a student helps a student organize the meaning suitable to the subjects and properly implement the meaning with the formative language. Second, the art creation of an upper elementary school grader should be the creative activity based on the higher quest for the life of self beyond the level of an infantile art activity. Third, the meaning of learning art is convincing only if a teacher cannot directly teach it but a student should experience and realize it for itself.

Durkheim's Social Solidarity and the Division of labour: An Overview
Authors: Khairulyadi Khairulyadi , Ikramatoun Siti , Nisa Khairun
Published: August 2022

This article aims to review Durkheim's concepts of division of labour and social solidarity, especially how social solidarity developed through the division of labour and how the interplay between the two gives rise to the functionality of the social system. This study, too, explains the relevance of such concepts to studying contemporary society. This study concludes that some underlying shortcomings need addressing without denying Durkheim's attempt to provide a sound methodological and theoretical foundation for sociology as a discipline. Durkheim's contention that the Division of labour forms social solidarity is deterministic and subscribes to the law of rigidity. Individuals' occupational function is seen as a determinant and therefore has nothing to do with human free will and individuals' subjectivity to meaning. It is a sort of reductionism because it eliminates the entire propensity of human nature. It reduces the conditions of society to that of the organism of a living being. As a result, it is tough to replicate Durkheim's solidarity model to explain the complex nature of current urban societies.

Abstrak

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendiskusikan konsep Durkheim tentang pembagian kerja dan solidaritas sosial, terutama bagaimana solidaritas sosial berkembang melalui pembagian kerja dan bagaimana interaksi antara keduanya memunculkan fungsi sistem sosial. Artikel ini juga menjelaskan relevansi konsep-konsep tersebut untuk mempelajari masyarakat kontemporer. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa dalam konsep tersebut terdapat beberapa kekurangan mendasar perlu diatasi tanpa menyangkal fakta bahwa Durkheim telah memberikan landasan metodologis dan teoretis yang kuat untuk sosiologi sebagai suatu disiplin. Pendapat Durkheim bahwa pembagian kerja membentuk solidaritas sosial adalah deterministik dan menganut hukum kekakuan. Fungsi pekerjaan individu dipandang sebagai penentu dan karena itu tidak ada hubungannya dengan kehendak bebas manusia dan subjektivitas individu terhadap makna. Ini adalah semacam reduksionisme karena menghilangkan seluruh kecenderungan sifat manusia. Ia mereduksi kondisi masyarakat menjadi kondisi organisme makhluk hidup. Akibatnya, sulit untuk mengadaptasi model solidaritas Durkheim untuk menjelaskan sifat kompleks masyarakat perkotaan saat ini.

Published: August 2022

Meunasah underwent a drastic change in its function in the lives of the young generation of Aceh. Therefore, it is important to examine the changes in the function of the meunasah in the life activities of the young generation in seeing the urgency of the meunasah as a community center in supporting the development of young generations in the face of the globalization. This qualitative study uses interview methods, observation and documentation in collecting data and using interactive analysis in analyzing the findings. The results showed that the shift in the function of the meunasah in the young generation of Aceh was caused by social changes that occurred after the conflict and the tsunami disaster. This situation is strengthened by the condition of the meunasah that does not keep up with the development of information technology so that it is unable to answer the needs of the young generation who are bound by technology. Therefore, it is necessary to modernize the meunasah environment in order to meet the technological needs of the young generation, so that the meunasah can still function as a community center in preparing the young generation of Aceh.

Abstrak

Meunasah mengalami perubahan fungsi yang drastis dalam kehidupan generasi muda Aceh. Oleh karena itu menjadi penting untuk mengkaji tentang perubahan fungsi meunasah dalam aktivitas kehidupan generasi muda dalam melihat urgensitas meunasah sebagai community center dalam menopang perkembangan generasi muda dalam menghadapi globalisasi dunia. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan metode wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi dalam pengumpulan data dan menggunakan analisis interaktif dalam menganalisis temuan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pergeseran fungsi meunasah dalam kehidupan generasi muda Aceh disebabkan oleh perubahan sosial yang terjadi pasca konflik dan bencana tsunami yang melanda Aceh. Kondisi ini dikuatkan dengan keadaan institusi meunasah yang tidak mengikuti perkembangan teknologi informasi sehingga tidak mampu menjawab kebutuhan hidup generasi muda yang terikat dengan teknologi. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan upaya modernisasi di lingkungan meunasah agar dapat memenuhi kebutuhan teknologi di kalangan generasi muda, sehingga meunasah tetap dapat difungsikan sebagai community center dalam menyiapkan generasi muda Aceh yang beriman dan berkemajuan.
