Terreur in Thessaloniki
Authors: Detrez Raymond
Published: October 2024

In April 1903 a group of young Bulgarian nationalists influenced by Russian radical socialism carried out a number of bomb attacks on public buildings and foreign properties in Thessaloniki. They were members of the notorious Internal

Macedonian and Adrianopolitan Revolutionary Organisation, but acted mainly on their own. Their aim was to provoke an international diplomatic or military intervention which would force the Ottoman government to implement the administrative reforms imposed by the 1878 Treaty of Berlin. This article evokes the troublesome preparation and the execution of the outrages as described in the memoirs of the participants and in the accounts of eyewitnesses. It is a tragicomic story which ended in a catastrophe. Most of the perpetrators were killed or committed suicide. The survivors were sentenced to long prison terms. (They were amnestied after the Young Turk revolution in 1908.) The Ottoman authorities kept their head and succeeded in averting an international intervention. Public opinion abroad denounced the Bulgarian assaults and Greece’s involvement in Macedonian affairs only increased. Ultimately, the bomb attacks in Thessaloniki turned out to have been a serious setback to the Bulgarian national liberation movement in
Macedonia.
Klachten en verzoeken uit Ptolemeïsch Egypte: Vrouwelijke onderdanen schrijven aan de overheid
Authors: Scheerlinck Eline
Published: October 2024

This article is based on a Master’s dissertation dealing with the Greek petitions from Ptolemaic Egypt, written to the authorities by women. These complaints and requests offer a direct view onto the problems of everyday life, which in these documents we are able to see from a female perspective. The paper focuses on three thematic groups of petitions: the petitions from orphans and widows concerning troubles with their inheritance, the complaints against (ex-)husbands, and the petitions sent by or on behalf of victims of physical violence.
Utopisch Aithiopië of Aithiopische utopie: Het utopische wereldbeeld in Heliodoros' 'Aithiopika'
Authors: Van Den Bossche Brecht
Published: October 2024

Heliodorus’ Aithiopika (ca. 350 AD) is the youngest extant representative of an ancient literary genre commonly known as the Greek novel of ordeal. Whereas its remarkable narrative structure has received much scholarly attention, the utopian character of this novel has not been dealt with in any exhaustive way. If it is discussed, attention is drawn primarily to the tenth and last book of the novel, which extensively describes Ethiopia. This article argues that the utopian dimension of the novel is carefully and ingeniously constructed throughout the entire novel. An analysis of the four components underlying this construction is illustrated by some relevant passages. It is concluded that Heliodorus adopts these components to characterize his Aithiopika as an ‘utopian novel of ordeal’.
Oligarchie, democratie en publieke weldoeners in de antieke stad: Over de oorsprong van de publieke gift in de Grieks-Romeinse wereld
Authors: Zuiderhoek Arjan
Published: October 2024

In this paper I give a brief overview of the history of elite public generosity (euergetism) in the ancient Greek (and Roman) city. Contrary to what is often maintained, I argue that the practice of public giving did not arise for the first time during the (later) Hellenistic period, but had a history going back to the social and political transformations in the ancient city-states towards the end of the Archaic age. Rather than a side-effect of political oligarchisation in the Hellenistic Greek city, elite public generosity was in fact an original and structural feature of Greek and Roman civic life, crucial to the social and political functioning of the ancient polis or civitas.
Grieken in Egypte: Het Nijlmozaïek van Palestrina
Authors: Meyboom Paul
Published: October 2024

The conquest of Egypt by Alexander and the ensuing Ptolemaic rule resulted in a merging of Egyptian and Greek culture. A unique picture of this mixed culture is offered by the Nile Mosaic of Palestrina (near Rome, late 2nd century BC). The mosaic depicts in a bird’s eye view the yearly Nile flood from its supposed origin in the Sudan up until the Delta. This picture represents a great variety of aspects of Egyptian life in the Ptolemaic period. There are the exotic fauna and flora of the Sudan, the different elements of the Egyptian and Greek populations occupied in the ceremonies and the festivities of the inundation period, their houses, sanctuaries, etc. Essentially the mosaic is an eulogy on the power of Isis who bestowed fortune and affluence onto her country. This explains the unexpectedpresence of the mosaic in the town of Palestrina because her tutelary diety Fortuna was, through Tyche, assimilated with Isis. The great variety and the accurate way in which all this is represented betrays the influence of the encyclopedic natural-historical studies cultivated in the Mouseion and the Library at Alexandria
Halfverborgen visioenen van je liefde: Homo-erotiek bij Kavafis
Authors: Van Renterghem Steven
Published: October 2024

In this article the homoerotic theme in Cavafy’s poetry is examined from two perspectives. On the one hand, the poems are read autobiographically: their compositional history is clarified through links with Cavafy’s own life and experiences as well as by tracing Cavafy’s psychological evolution in the poems, using the coming-out model of Cass. On the other hand, the literary role of this theme is analyzed. For this we focus on its relation with both the function of memory in Cavafy’s poetry and the poetic creation of a mythical Alexandria. The changes of the meaning of several literary motives will also lay bare important semantic and poetic developments in Cavafy’s oeuvre.
De Gentse romans van Nikos Kachtitsis
Authors: De Boel Gunnar
Published: October 2024

In his novels The Balcony (1964) and The Hero of Ghent (1967), the Montréal based Greek author develops the character of Stoppakios Papenguss, an upperclass citizen of Belle Epoque Ghent, which is the centre of Kachtitsis’s private mythology. In the introduction I propose an analysis of what may be called Kachtitsis’s ‘Ghent diptych’, and an interpretation of the author’s Ghent mythology. This introduction is followed by a translation of the Notification and the first two chapters of The Hero of Ghent into the purported original language, Dutch (‘Flemish’). In this way, Kachtitsis’s literary game is completed in the sense that this translation becomes in fact the now lost original manuscript which was purportedly translated into Greek by the author’s friend, Realos Deloriés.
Falende en foute 'charis': Thematische bespreking van Euripides’ 'Hecuba'
Authors: Vandendriessche Flore
Published: October 2024

This article’s aim is to present a thematical interpretation of Euripides’ tragedy ‘Hecuba’. The concept of ‘charis’ is used as the starting point. First, several examples of charis are presented and it is argued that one can see them as perverted forms. Secondly, the function of the choral odes is discussed. Next, it describes the dreadful world created by Euripides, including the possible links to his own society.
De zieners Kalchas en Teiresias bij Homeros en in de tragedie
Authors: Ruelens Isolde
Published: October 2024

This article is a study of the prophet Kalchas as a literary character in the Iliad and the tragedies Agamemnon (Aeschylus), Aias (Sophocles) and Iphignia in Aulis (Euripides). How do the writers of these works use this mythological character – and the art of divination in general – as a dramatic device? How do the other characters react to Kalchas’ words and what does that tell us about their own personality? This article shows that the authors of the studied texts exploit divination in very different and original ways, but always in relation to the historical context of the 5th century B.C.
Ruimte in de archaïsche Griekse lyriek: Symboliek van stad, natuur en zee
Authors: Heirman Jo
Published: October 2024

In this paper Jo Heirman discusses the role of space in archaic Greek lyric (7th-5th century BC). Based on a theoretical framework derived from narratology,phenomenology and metaphor theory, he focuses on three types of space inarchaic Greek lyric: city, countryside and sea. His analysis of a wide range of lyric poems leads to the conclusion that space primarily has a symbolic role: the city is a political or erotic metaphor, the countryside has erotic associations and the sea is a symbol of danger. In an attempt to explain this dominant symbolism, he suggests a connection with the performance context of the lyric poems, i.e. the symposium.
In de stroom van Herakleitos: De Griekse Oudheid in de Poolse poëzie: Miłosz – Szymborska – Herbert
Authors: Vereecken Jeannine
Published: October 2024

the basis of a strong historical consciousness and a great admiration for the cradle of European civilisation, these poets try to observe contemporary evolutions in the mirror of history, and to understand these by actualising archetypical characters and events from Greek antiquity. The selected poems in this article have all been translated into Dutch by the author herself, except for one.
Goddelijke koningen, gigantische oorlogsschepen en twee wereldwonderen: Politieke, sociale en culturele ontwikkelingen in de strijd om de opvolging van Alexander de Grote (323-276 v.C.)
Authors: Meeus Alexander
Published: October 2024

For about 50 years after his death the generals of Alexander the Great fought over his succession (323-276 BC); the empire eventually falling apart, this lead to the creation of the three main Hellenistic kingdoms. The age of the Successors is often seen as a period of decline, but in many respects there was continuity, florescence and innovation. Least surprisingly, there were important developments in military technology, but it was also a period of cultural vigour with the foundation of the library in Alexandria and blooming activity in the philosophical schools and Athenian theatre. The age of the Successors also witnessed the construction of two of the seven wonders of the ancient world: the lighthouse of Pharos in Alexandria and the Kolossos of Rhodes. Moreover, the fact that most Greek cities were partially controlled by the Hellenistic kings did not necessarily mean the end of democracy in those cities. One of the most striking developments was the establishment of ruler cult.
Bij wijze van roman: Auteur Yannis Kiourtsakis en vertaler Hero Hokwerda aan het woord
Authors: Kiourtsakis Yannis , Hokwerda Hero
Published: October 2024

In this ‘dual’ essay, translator Hero Hokwerda introduces the Greek author Yannis Kiourtsakis with an overview of his life and work, particularly his novel As a Novel (1995). The biographical introduction is followed by a brief discussion of a number of problems that he came across during the translation of this novel into Dutch, particularly in view of the use of core philosophical terminology such as ο εαυτός (the self/-self) and ίδιος (the same/same). Subsequently, author Yannis Kiourtsakis offers a personal introspection into the process of thinking, feeling and writing that resulted in As a Novel, the first part of his trilogy The Same and the Other.
Religie in Hatra: Een sociaal-politieke reconstructie van de godsdienst in een pre-islamitische woestijnstad
Authors: Dirven Lucinda
Published: October 2024

The present contribution reconstructs and evaluates the religious situation in Hatra, a city in present day Iraq with remains that date back to the first three centuries AD. Central to the present reconstruction is the idea that the religious organisation is bound up with the political and social situation. Hatra’s rulers took recourse to the divine in order to commit the population of Hatra and its surroundings to both the city and their rule. The sun god and other deities venerated in the city presented the in habitants with a common religious identity that contributed to the social cohesion. As such, Hatra’s short but prosperous existence is intimately connected with its role as a holy city.
Orthodoxie in Griekenland en West-Europa van 1782 tot vandaag
Authors: Verbeke Dominique
Published: October 2024

If one event is fundamental for understanding the current revival of theological writing and thinking in the Orthodox Church, it is the publication of the Philokalia in 1782. This book, a selection of spiritual texts dating back to the period of the 4th to the 14th century AD, set a new series of developments in motion which have meant a return to a more existential theology that takes its starting point in the faith of the individual and is part of his everyday life. This contribution presents an overview of the most important developments and thinkers of the past two centuries and pays special attention to Greek theologians who, from 1893 onwards, actively participated in the debate.
Over de esthetisering van geweld: Mythe en trauma in het theater van Romeo Castellucci
Authors: Decreus Freddy
Published: October 2024

The Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio, an Italian experimental theatre company founded
in 1981, became famous for its investigation of a theatrical language that focused

on iconoclasm, violent images and haunting music. In this contribution, we inves-
tigate the relation between, myth, tragedy and trauma. The question is asked to

what degree traumatic experiences created this generalized climate of loss and

loneliness. To that purpose, we analyse especially the Parisian Episode of the Tra-
gedia Endogonidia, P.#06, which brought together a large number of Biblical and

classical Greek themes.
Elektra in drama en cinema: Een vergelijking van Euripides en Kakogiannis aan de hand van Aristoteles
Authors: Vandewalle Alexander
Published: October 2024

Ever since its birth around 1895, the medium of film has been an apt and above all powerful tool for the adaptation of literature to the screen. Classical antiquity has been present in film since its early days, and is still a relevant and popular subject, as indicated by contemporary films. An interesting name in the history of adapting ancient literature is the Greek Michalis Cacoyannis, who directed an entire ‘trilogy’ of films based on Euripidean plays. This article focuses on Cacoyannis’ adaptation of Euripides’ Electra. It explores both the textual and contextual relationship between the ancient play and the Greek film from 1961. The comparison draws on Aristotle’s six elements of tragedy as formulated in his Poetics (plot, character, thought, diction, music and spectacle) as a useful theoretical framework.
Stadslandschappen van Constantinopel in de Byzantijnse literatuur
Authors: Bernard Floris
Published: October 2024

Constantinople held a particular place in the Byzantine mindset, being the undisputed political, cultural and religious capital of the empire. Several Byzantine literary texts contributed to a coherent discourse that portrayed Constantinople as the second Rome, and rightful capital of the world. This article discusses some texts that describe and interpret Byzantine gazes on Constantinople. Procopius of Caesarea, Constantine of Rhodes, and Theodore Metochites were all interested in the interaction of land and sea, nature and buildings, in and around Constantinople. They describe panoramic viewpoints on the city that set it in a cityscape.They also interpret Constantinople’s ‘skyline’ and geographical location as a message of world dominance and imperial power. So ultimately literature contributes to constructing a Byzantine gaze that had aesthetical as well as political associations.
Nikos Kazantzakis in Nederland
Authors: Groen Bert
Published: October 2024

In 1952, when he was almost seventy years old, Nikos Kazantzakis came to the Netherlands for his one and only visit to the country. The reason behind this sixweek visit was medical. Kazantzakis went to the Diakonessenhuis in Utrecht to get treatment for the eczema that had been troubling him for many years. Kazantzakis himself believed that he suffered from the so-called ‘saint’s disease,’ the horrible rashes and ulcers that, according to monastic literature, prevent ascetics who are overwhelmed by sexual desire from acting on their urges. The medical reason behind Kazantzakis’ eczema was not found in Utrecht. It was only a few years later that he was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, which eventually led to his death in 1957. While he was in the Netherlands, Kazantzakis was interviewed by several important newspapers on account of the success of his novels Zorba the Greek and Christ Recrucified. He also met with Reinder and Mies Blijstra, authors and translators of his work into Dutch, and became friends with the well-known writer A. den Doolaard who introduced him to LincolnSchuster, the man who would become his distributer in the United States.
Axenitika: linguïstische mix met schijnbaar paradoxale verhoudingen
Authors: Daveloose Eline
Published: October 2024

In this article, I shed light on an already extinct subdialect of Cappadocian Greek: Axenitika, the dialect of the village of Axo (currently Hasaköy, Turkey). The aim is to point out the slightly paradoxical amount of Turkish influence in Axenitika.This subdialect contains a large, substantial number of Turkish elements, whereas the village was entirely free of Turkish inhabitants. However, there are socio-economic reasons that account for the heavy Turkish borrowing in Axenitika. Subsequently, this article provides some striking examples of Turkish influence in Axenitika phonology, lexicon, morphology and syntax.
Grieks in Egypte: Niet-literaire teksten als bron voor historisch-sociolinguïstisch onderzoek
Authors: Bentein Klaas
Published: October 2024

Linguistic diversity in the history of Ancient Greek is usually discussed with relationship to Classical Greek (the Classical dialects in particular), rather than Archaic or Post-classical Greek. In this contribution I discuss what role non-literary texts such as papyri can play for our knowledge of linguistic diversity in the Post-classical period. While these texts play a vital role for our understanding of the use and development of the Greek language, I argue that they are best not seen as a source for ‘authentic’, spoken-like Greek. As an alternative, I propose a ‘historical sociolinguistic’ approach, which takes into account that we are dealing with written, rather than spoken language, and that the papyrological corpus is linguistically not homogeneous.
Leren in Byzantium: didactische poëzie in de 11de eeuw
Authors: Vanhoutte Nina
Published: October 2024

In this article I explore what makes Byzantine didactic poetry such a unique category of texts worthy of more research. Set against the relevant historical and socio-cultural context of the 11th century, I analyse an unpublished didactic poem of Niketas of Herakleia. In doing so, I am striving to create the first step towards the compilation of primary and secondary characteristics of didactic poetry in the 11th and 12th century, in the hopes of better understanding these texts both on their own and in relation to similar texts.
Who Reads Ancient Novels? Reading Fiction in Antiquity
Authors: Jackson Claire
Published: October 2024

This article explores the corpus of Greek texts from antiquity known as the ancient novels and their reception history from antiquity to the modern world in order to shed new light on the long-debated question of who read ancient novels. While the term ‘novel’ implies a continuity between the familiar modern genre and its ancient counterpart, a closer look at the history of the term, the ancient texts themselves, and the evidence for their reception from antiquity onwards invites us to rethink our assumptions. By interrogating what is at stake in terming these ancient narratives novels, this article to offer a more nuanced understanding of the reception of these fictional narratives in antiquity and beyond.
De drie E’s van het Griekse Surrealisme: Embirikos, Elytis en Engonopoulos

De Griekse stad op school
Authors: Van Hooff Anton
Published: October 2024

In traditional history teaching classical antiquity only figured as'The Romans in our country' showing how civilisation was brought to the territory of the modem nation state on which ‘our’ forefathers, noble barbarians, lived. For modem schools the Greek city, both the modest polis and the metropolis of Alexandria, is a much better topic as it invites youngsters who mostly live in an urban environment to confront their own experiences with the conditions of a distant past.
Waar de zon slaapt. Over de ligging van Pytheas’ Thule
Authors: Hertmans Hanna
Published: October 2024

Pytheas of Massalia (Marseille) was a Greek explorer in the fourth century B.C. He is well-known for making a big journey to the north of Europe, where he discovered an island he called Thule. A lot of research has been done to solve the question where Thule might have been located. Until now four possible locations have been suggested: the Shetland Islands, Greenland, Iceland and Norway. In this article the author examines the ancient text-fragments in which Pytheas is mentioned (nothing of his own writings has been preserved) and she discusses the different theories concerning the location of Thule. Thule must be located between 63° and 66° north latitude - information one can find in text-fragments that curiously enough consistently have been overlooked by all researchers until now. Since the fragments also show that there were people living on Thule in the fourth century B.C., and we know that Iceland was uninhabited until the eight century A.D., Thule must be identified as Norway (which was considered to be an island until the eleventh century A.D.).
Grieks drama voor het Duitse volk: de politieke esthetica van Richard Wagner
Authors: Mortier Freddy
Published: October 2024

The methodological framework of this paper is Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of intellectual production. It is argued that Wagner’s claims to having revived Greek drama in the total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk) can only be understood by reconstructing his position in the field of musical drama of his own time. The adoption of Greek drama as a general model as well as the adaptation and reworking of many of its details reflect Wagner's rejection of the then current stylistic possibilities in that field (Italian, French and German opera). Wagner criticised the subjection of the different styles in the field to principles foreign to art. Against these, he championed an autonomous principle of artistic legitimity. It is further shown how, by the interplay of the homologies between the fields, this artistic position translated into the composer's shifting political positions, more specifically into his increasingly conservative nationalism and increasingly vehement anti-Semitism.

The oeuvre of John Geometres, a Byzantine aristocrat, leading officer in the imperial army and celebrated poet, includes a large collection of epigrams and other poems. They deal with a variety of subjects, thus offering a sketch of the political and social events in the tenth century Byzantine empire and the religious beliefs of a Christian intellectual. The author manifests his high education in both the classical and the biblical literary traditions, a distinctive feature of the Macedonian Renaissance.
Vrijheid en dood. Nikos Kazantzakis’ roman ‘Kapitein Michalis’
Authors: De Graeve Wies
Published: October 2024

In his childhood, Kazantzakis went through the last phase of the Cretan struggle for freedom. This experience had a great influence on his life and work. In ‘Captain Michalis’, even more than in his other novels, this impact is obvious. An analysis of the most important elements of this book leads to the conclusion that it is not merely a story about the Cretan struggle for freedom but that it also reflects Kazantzakis’ philosophical concepts.

Voorbij het ‘Ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia...’ Bride theft als alternatieve huwelijksstrategie in de Griekse romans
Authors: Van der Haegen Liselot
Published: October 2024

The Greek novels present the phenomenon bride theft - an alternative marriage strategy throughout antiquity -in a realistic way (as far as motives, strategy, the participation of the girl, and punishment are concerned). The topos of bride theft is used by the novelists to reconcile the romantic love of the young couple with the demands of society. The traditional ideo-logy about marriages is briefly ruptured by a bride theft, but never entirely overturned.
From the Nile to the Lys
Authors: Amory Yasmine
Published: October 2024

At the beginning of the 20th century, three major papyrological archives were found in the Egyptian village of Kôm-Išqaw, also known in ancient sources as the village of Aphrodite. In 1905, during some restoration works in a private house, a crevice in a wall disclosed a large number of papyrus scrolls. The archaeological excavations that followed this fortuitous discovery brought to light a jar full of papyri. The private archive of Dioscorus of Aphrodite was then discovered. The approximately 650 documents that compose the archive make it the largest one from Late Antiquity. Written in Greek and Coptic, they range from private letters to petitions, imperial rescripts, rent contracts, and tax receipts. But they also include literary pieces – some of them, from the pen of Dioscorus himself. Through a close examination of the archive, this article offers a glimpse into the lives and sorrows of the Aphrodite’s inhabitants.
Grieken op de Balkan: wie is wat?
Authors: Detrez Raymond
Published: October 2024

In Ottoman times the terms “Greek” and “Romaios” primarily referred to ethnic Greeks, but could also have other meanings. In other Balkan languages “Greek” and “Romaios” were used as a synonym for “Orthodox Christian”. The term Orthodox Christians of whatever ethnic group used most frequently (as an answer to the question “What are you?”) was “Christian” (Χριστιανός, християнин). Obviously, ethnic belonging was perceived as less important. However, in the other Balkan languages “Greek” and “Romaios” could also mean “city dweller” and “rich merchant”, unlike Bulgarian and Serf, which referred to poor peasants. In the early 19th century in the Thracian city of Plovdiv / Philippoupolis a middle class of Graecized Bulgarians emerged, who were referred to as Goudilas. They spoke a Bulgarian-Greek mixed language which they themselves apparently considered to be a suitable expression of their particular social identity. As it did not compromise their fundamental orthodox Christian identity, their Graecization easily take place. The Goudilas are a striking example of how in the Balkans prior to the era of nationalism ethnic distinctions played a minor role.

Papel da Fluência de Leitura na Compreensão Textual de Estudantes do Ensino Fundamental
Authors: Hickmann Girlane Moura , Guimarães Sandra Regina Kirchner
Published: October 2024

A fluência em leitura é um construto multidimensional, cujos componentes (precisão, velocidade e prosódia) têm sido destacados como relacionados à compreensão leitora. Entretanto, a direção desta relação é ainda uma questão controversa: alguns autores afirmam que a fluência precede a compreensão, enquanto outros afirmam existir uma interação recíproca entre elas. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a fluência e a compreensão leitora de 114 estudantes, do 3º, 4º e 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental, e verificar as correlações entre a fluência e a compreensão leitora, nos níveis literal e inferencial. Os dados foram coletados por meio da leitura de um texto narrativo. Os resultados sugerem que, tanto a leitura com precisão como com prosódia, especialmente esta última, são habilidades importantes para a compreensão leitora. Contudo, dado ao alcance correlacional da presente pesquisa, não se pode estabelecer uma possível conexão causal entre as variáveis. Conclui-se ser necessários estudos longitudinais para explorar o desenvolvimento da fluência e verificar o quanto cada um dos componentes explica a compreensão leitora.
Autoridade e Sedução
Authors: Lopes Francisca Rodrigues
Published: October 2024

A reflexão sobre a sedução na relação pedagógica partiu da suposição de que entre professor e aluno existe algo mais que a simples transmissão de saberes. A intenção de desenvolver assunto tão polêmico tem por finalidade problematizar os resultados da pesquisa Sedução e Desejo: o universo das relações e das representações no espaço da sala de aula, que se dispôs a investigar a sedução que emerge da relação pedagógica. A metodologia foi a de pesquisa bibliográfica, tendo como principal fundamento a teoria freudiana sobre sedução. As leituras e discussões levaram a pensar que esse evento, puramente humano, traduzido no desejo que os sujeitos têm de saber do saber do outro, não escolhe espaço para se manifestar, escolhe os mecanismos e os objetos de desejo. Concluiu-se que a sala de aula, espaço em que as relações e as representações tomam forma, assume a predisposição para que a sedução se manifeste, camuflando, assim, a autoridade do professor e a falsa ingenuidade do aluno.
Mobile Apps for Vaccination Services: Content Analysis and Quality Assessment
Authors: Zhang Chenchen , Guo Xing , Zhu Rui , Hou Wenjie , Wang Lingmeng , Wang Fuzhi , Zhang Li , Luo Dan
Published: October 2024

Background

Vaccination services are increasingly in demand by the public, and mobile apps are an effective tool to meet that demand. However, the characteristics and quality of these apps are unknown.

Objective

Commonly used vaccination service apps on the market were surveyed with regard to quality, service content, and user experience to evaluate and guide users.

Methods

The Qimai Data mobile app data analytics platform was used to search for common vaccination service apps by keyword, and the WeChat and Alipay platforms were searched for apps. The apps included in the study were independently evaluated by two reviewers using the Mobile Application Rating Scale, and the service content and user experience of the apps were analyzed. The intragroup correlation coefficient between raters was used to measure interrater reliability.

Results

In the app stores of the four major Android platforms and the iOS app store, 1092 and 207 apps were found, respectively; 189 WeChat applets and 30 Alipay applets were also found. A total of 29 apps was ultimately included in this study according to the inclusion criteria, including 21 independent apps, 4 WeChat applets, and 4 Alipay applets. Significant differences were found between independent apps and applets in terms of the quality score (t449.57=–5.301; P<.001) and the subjective quality score (z=–4.753; P<.001). No significant differences were found between iOS and Android platforms in terms of the quality score (t1404=–2.55; P=.80) and the subjective quality score (z=–0.137; P=.89). There was good intragroup consistency among the raters.

Conclusions

In this study, independent apps and nonindependent apps that rely on social and payment platforms for implementation were included in the vaccination services category. The overall quality of these apps was acceptable. Nonindependent running apps were found to have slightly lower scores and showed room for improvement, and scores for the participatory apps were found to be generally low overall.

Background

Fully automated digital interventions delivered via smartphone apps have proven efficacious for a wide variety of mental health outcomes. An important aspect is that they are accessible at a low cost, thereby increasing their potential public impact and reducing disparities. However, a major challenge to their successful implementation is the phenomenon of users dropping out early.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to pinpoint the factors influencing early dropout in a sample of self-selected users of a virtual agent (VA)–based behavioral intervention for managing insomnia, named KANOPEE, which is freely available in France.

Methods

From January 2021 to December 2022, of the 9657 individuals, aged 18 years or older, who downloaded and completed the KANOPEE screening interview and had either subclinical or clinical insomnia symptoms, 4295 (44.5%) dropped out (ie, did not return to the app to continue filling in subsequent assessments). The primary outcome was a binary variable: having dropped out after completing the screening assessment (early dropout) or having completed all the treatment phases (n=551). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of dropout among a set of sociodemographic, clinical, and sleep diary variables, and users’ perceptions of the treatment program, collected during the screening interview.

Results

The users’ mean age was 47.95 (SD 15.21) years. Of those who dropped out early and those who completed the treatment, 65.1% (3153/4846) were women and 34.9% (1693/4846) were men. Younger age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.98, 95% CI 0.97‐0.99), lower education level (compared to middle school; high school: AOR 0.56, 95% CI 0.35‐0.90; bachelor’s degree: AOR 0.35, 95% CI 0.23‐0.52; master’s degree or higher: AOR 0.35, 95% CI 0.22‐0.55), poorer nocturnal sleep (sleep efficiency: AOR 0.64, 95% CI 0.42‐0.96; number of nocturnal awakenings: AOR 1.13, 95% CI 1.04‐1.23), and more severe depression symptoms (AOR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04‐1.21) were significant predictors of dropping out. When measures of perceptions of the app were included in the model, perceived benevolence and credibility of the VA decreased the odds of dropout (AOR 0.91, 95% CI 0.85‐0.97).

Conclusions

As in traditional face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, the presence of significant depression symptoms plays an important role in treatment dropout. This variable represents an important target to address to increase early engagement with fully automated insomnia management programs. Furthermore, our results support the contention that a VA can provide relevant user stimulation that will eventually pay out in terms of user engagement.
Ability of Heart Rate Recovery and Gait Kinetics in a Single Wearable to Predict Frailty: Quasiexperimental Pilot Study
Authors: Merchant Reshma Aziz , Loke Bernard , Chan Yiong Huak
Published: October 2024

Background

Aging is a risk factor for falls, frailty, and disability. The utility of wearables to screen for physical performance and frailty at the population level is an emerging research area. To date, there is a limited number of devices that can measure frailty and physical performance simultaneously.

Objective

The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and validity of a continuous digital monitoring wearable device incorporating gait mechanics and heart rate recovery measurements for detecting frailty, poor physical performance, and falls risk in older adults at risk of falls.

Methods

This is a substudy of 156 community-dwelling older adults ≥60 years old with falls or near falls in the past 12 months who were recruited for a fall prevention intervention study. Of the original participants, 22 participants agreed to wear wearables on their ankles. An interview questionnaire involving demographics, cognition, frailty (FRAIL), and physical function questions as well as the Falls Risk for Older People in the Community (FROP-Com) was administered. Physical performance comprised gait speed, timed up and go (TUG), and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test. A gait analyzer was used to measure gait mechanics and steps (FRAIL-functional: fatigue, resistance, and aerobic), and a heart rate analyzer was used to measure heart rate recovery (FRAIL-nonfunctional: weight loss and chronic illness).

Results

The participants’ mean age was 74.6 years. Of the 22 participants, 9 (41%) were robust, 10 (46%) were prefrail, and 3 (14%) were frail. In addition, 8 of 22 (36%) had at least one fall in the past year. Participants had a mean gait speed of 0.8 m/s, a mean SPPB score of 8.9, and mean TUG time of 13.8 seconds. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) for the gait analyzer against the functional domains were 1.00, 0.84, and 0.92, respectively, for SPPB (balance and gait); 0.38, 0.89, and 0.64, respectively, for FRAIL-functional; 0.45, 0.91, and 0.68, respectively, for FROP-Com; 0.60, 1.00, and 0.80, respectively, for gait speed; and 1.00, 0.94, and 0.97, respectively, for TUG. The heart rate analyzer demonstrated superior validity for the nonfunctional components of frailty, with a sensitivity of 1.00, specificity of 0.73, and AUC of 0.83.

Conclusions

Agreement between the gait and heart rate analyzers and the functional components of the FRAIL scale, gait speed, and FROP-Com was significant. In addition, there was significant agreement between the heart rate analyzer and the nonfunctional components of the FRAIL scale. The gait and heart rate analyzers could be used in a screening test for frailty and falls in community-dwelling older adults but require further improvement and validation at the population level.

Background

The challenge of preventing in-patient falls remains one of the most critical concerns in health care.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the effect of an integrated Internet of Things (IoT) smart patient care system on fall prevention.

Methods

A quasi-experimental study design is used. The smart patient care system is an integrated IoT system combining a motion-sensing mattress for bed-exit detection, specifying different types of patient calls, integrating a health care staff scheduling system, and allowing health care staff to receive and respond to alarms via mobile devices. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were used to investigate the relationship between the use of the IoT system and bedside falls compared with a traditional patient care system.

Results

In total, 1300 patients were recruited from a medical center in Taiwan. The IoT patient care system detected an average of 13.5 potential falls per day without any false alarms, whereas the traditional system issued about 11 bed-exit alarms daily, with approximately 4 being false, effectively identifying 7 potential falls. The bedside fall incidence during hospitalization was 1.2% (n=8) in the traditional patient care system ward and 0.1% (n=1) in the smart ward. We found that the likelihood of bedside falls in wards with the IoT system was reduced by 88% (odds ratio 0.12, 95% CI 0.01-0.97; P=.047).

Conclusions

The integrated IoT smart patient care system might prevent falls by assisting health care staff with efficient and resilient responses to bed-exit detection. Future product development and research are recommended to introduce IoT into patient care systems combining bed-exit alerts to prevent inpatient falls and address challenges in patient safety.
The WeThrive App and Its Impact on Adolescents Who Menstruate: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: MacNeil Nora , Price Victoria , Pike Meghan
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) affects up to 37% of adolescents. Without recognition, HMB can lead to other medical conditions resulting in diminished health-related quality of life. WeThrive, a new mobile health (mHealth) app, implements the pictorial bleeding assessment chart to identify HMB, and the adolescent Menstrual Bleeding Questionnaire to measure the effects of HMB on adolescents’ health-related quality of life. If HMB is identified, WeThrive will connect users to local clinics for further assessment of their menstrual bleeding with a health care provider.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to describe adolescents’ experiences using WeThrive app.

METHODS

This qualitative study was approved by the local Research Ethics Board in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and informed consent was provided by all participants. Individual semistructured interviews were held via videoconference with adolescents younger than 18 years, who had at least 1 menstrual period and had used WeThrive at least once. Interview transcripts were thematically analyzed by 2 investigators (MP and NMN) independently, and the κ statistic was calculated to determine the strength of correlation in themes.

RESULTS

Five adolescents (mean age 15.5, range 13-18 years), participated in the interviews. All participants stated that WeThrive helps them better understand their menstrual periods by predicting period onset, recognizing menstrual symptoms, and identifying HMB. Four themes were identified: (1) the importance of visual features and usability, (2) newly obtained knowledge using WeThrive, (3) feature use depends on menstrual health, and (4) trustworthiness. There was substantial agreement on the identified themes (κ=0.73).

CONCLUSIONS

WeThrive is visually appealing, and trustworthy, and helps users better understand their menstrual periods, including identifying HMB. By identifying HMB early, WeThrive has the potential to improve the recognition of bleeding disorders and iron deficiency in adolescents. WeThrive is a useful tool to help adolescents better understand their menstrual periods.
