Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Choe Jung-sun
Published: May 2024

Adrienne Rich, an American feminist poet and essayist of the late twentieth century, has influenced contemporary women’s movement. Her early poems started with traditional and restrained voices as male poets. But through marriage, she has experienced patriarchy in person and afterwards her poem has gone through continual changes. She offers women the knowledge they need to overcome the unreasonableness of their lives, thus allowing them to change the future of their own lives as well as the world. Rich as a feminist delineates the ideal community for women as a means for survival in a patriarchal world.
In this paper, we will consider the development of re-reading and re-writing, namely “re-vision”, which Rich worked on as a feminist. She writes that “re-vision is the act of looking back, of seeing with fresh eyes, of entering an old text from a new critical direction. For women, re-vision is more than a chapter in cultural history; it is ‘an act of survival’.” The re-visioning woman works to reconstruct conventional symbolic representations in a new and meaningful way. The transformative and flexible power of re-vision can change every reality, every myth, and every structure. Through this attempt, we also consider the various effects that Rich has given to all women and her readers will participating in building the communal society.

Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Kim Hye-jin
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to explore the presence of a ghost and discuss how it carries memories of the past into the present while also telling stories. The ghost connects the past to the present, heals lives, and unites the black community in Beloved by Toni Morrison.
The appearance of the ghost of “Beloved” breathes new life into the lives of people who have been living as if they were dead because of past traumas. The ghost, Beloved, initially appears as symbolic of individual trauma. As Sethe's story progresses, Beloved brings Sethe and Denver out of isolation and into the love and positive change of the black community. By integrating the power of the black community, the community plans for the future by reflecting on the past and present, enabling them to overcome past trauma and prepare for the future.
The appearance of “Beloved” can make Sethe, Denver and Paul D remember their past traumas from the Sweet Home during the age of Slavery and heal within the black community.

Design & aging: Challenges and urgency for the quality of life of a changing society
Authors: Gomes Ilma de Oliveira , Couto Rita Maria de Souza
Published: May 2024

This article aims to analyze the impact of population aging on society and was guided by the conviction of the fundamental role that Social Design can play in promoting the quality of life and well-being of the elderly. The ageing of the population is a global reality that brings with it significant challenges and opportunities for public policies, the economy and society as a whole. With the increase in life expectancy and the decrease in the birth rate, the demographic profile of societies is changing rapidly, with an increasing number of long-lived people. This phenomenon presents new challenges, such as the need to adapt health, social security, and urban planning systems to meet the specific needs of seniors. In addition to structural challenges, older people face barriers such as age-based discrimination and social exclusion. The stigma associated with old age often limits this group's opportunities for participation and contribution in society, which can lead to further isolation and deteriorating mental and emotional health. In this context, Social Design emerges as a powerful tool to promote inclusion and respect for the elderly, facilitating active participation in community life, promoting group connection, a sense of belonging, valuing the contribution of the elderly to society with dignity. Social Design can and should be an essential tool in this process, helping to build a more inclusive and sustainable future for all generations.

Therefore, this study aims to analyze the use of project-based learning with augmented reality on the communication skills of autistic children. The method used is a systematic literature review and theoretical bibliometric analysis of research on communication skills of children with autism sourced from Scopus from 2013 to 2022. The research stages are determining i) research questions; ii) inclusion criteria; iii) quality assessment; iv) data collection; and v) bibliometric analysis. The results of this research note that research on the communication skills of autistic children is still a research trend that is of great interest to researchers with an increase in research occurring from 2015 to 2022. Countries in the Americas and Asia contributed the most to research on this research theme. There is a relationship between project requirements (P), communication skills (CS), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This relationship is indicated by the strength of the P→CS link of 2 and the strength of the CS→ASD link of 4. This review shows that the characteristics of project-based learning can help train the level of communication skills of autistic children and will be better if assisted by the use of AR

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of youth life satisfaction and job performance on their turnover intention. Data were collected from 163 youths working in the private sectors in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The Satisfaction with Life Scale, Staples’ Measure (to measure an individual’s job performance) by Staples (1999) and Turnover Intention Scale adapted from MacIntosh and Doherty (2010) were used in this study. Results indicated that youths’ job performance and life satisfaction were the significant predictors of their turnover intention. Life satisfaction was positively related to job performance but negatively related to turnover intention.

Authors:   Department of Social Sciences and Development Faculty of Human Ecology University Putra Malaysia, WAN JAAFAR WAN MUNIRA
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT The issue of inter-ethnic relations is of significant concern in Malaysia because it is often regarded as a threat to national unity and the welfare of the people. For a long time, the Government has been making great efforts to overcome this problem. However, tension and division remain a major concern. In 1996 the Malaysian government established the National Information and Communication Technology (NICT) policy intended to transform Malaysia into an information and knowledge society. The implementation of the policy has been interpreted as part of the policy to overcome ethnic segregation through encouraging the development of online communities. The aim of this paper is to discuss how online communities have contributed to the generation and maintenance of social capital and social integration. The research explores the experience of 162 online community members. The findings suggest that the online communities in Malaysia do have the potential to widen social networking, generate positive social capital across society and more importantly, hold the prospect of enhancing social integration between ethnicities.

Kompetensi merujuk kepada kombinasi antara kemahiran, keupayaan dan pengetahuan yang diperlukan untuk menyediakan sesuatu tugasan yang spesifik di dalam konteks tertentu. Kompetensi juga adalah hasil daripada gabungan pengalaman di mana kemahiran, keupayaan dan pengetahuan yang diperolehi daripada tugasan yang pernah diamanahkan kepada seseorang individu. Walaupun di dapati bahawa latihan seumpama ini telah disediakan oleh bahagian ini, namun ianya kurang memberikan kepuashatian di kalangan peserta yang menyertai program ini. Justeru kerangka model keperluan latihan belia telah mengaplikasikan lima kompetensi yang terdiri daripada kompetensi kesihatan/fizikal, kompetensi personal/sosial, kompetensi pengetahuan/ penaakulan/kreativiti, kompetensi vokasional dan kompetensi semangat patriotisme. Kajian ini turut menguji sama ada faktor gender mempengaruhi keperluan latihan di kalangan belia dengan menggunakan Ujian Perbandingan – t. Hasil kajian memberikan petunjuk bahawa kompetensi personal/sosial dan kompetensi semangat patriotisme diperlukan oleh belia. Manakala kompetensi kesihatan/ fizikal dan kompetensi pengetahuan/penaakulan/kretiviti berada pada paras Agak Perlu. Sekalipun kompetensi vokasional berada pada skor terendah, namun kompetensi ini masih berada pada paras Agak Perlu. Kajian juga membuktikan bahawa faktor gender tidak mempengaruhi keperluan latihan. Ini bermakna bahawa keperluan yang sama rata diperlukan oleh kedua-dua gender lelaki dan perempuan. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini menjadi penanda aras bahawa keperluan latihan belia yang ingin dilaksanakan di kementerian ini haruslah bersandarkan kepada lima kompetensi ini bagi melahirkan generasi belia yang akan meneruskan kesinambungan pembangunan negara bangsa.

Harnessing Text and Web Analytics to Enhance Decision-Making in Job Opportunity Categorization
Authors: Surabani Santorini
Published: May 2024

Text analytics is defined as a method of analyzing compilations of structured text such as dates, times, locations, semi structured text, such as HTML and JSON as well as unstructured text, such as word documents, videos, and images, to extract and discover trends and relationships without requiring the exact words or terms to convey those concepts. Web analytics on the other hand is the technology that collects, measures, analyses, and provides reports of data on how users use websites and web applications. It is used to track a number of aspects of direct user-website interactions, such as the number of visits, time spent on the site, and click pathway. It also aids in the identification of user interest areas and the enhancement of web application features. We used clustering techniques to categorize the job opportunities that are available for the job seekers. By implementing text analytics, text data may be grouped with the goal of providing outcomes in the form of word frequency distribution, pattern identification, and predictive analytics. Text analytics may create one-of-a-kind values to use in the improvement of decision-making and business processes, as well as the development of new business models.

Authors: Asplangyi Gulam Ruti
Published: May 2024

Amidst the relentless upheaval caused by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the higher education landscape finds itself compelled to pivot towards internet-mediated learning modalities. This shift, while necessary for continuity, has engendered profound repercussions for students, educators, and administrative staff alike. Foremost among the concerns is the discernible impact on student learning outcomes and academic performance. Studies, such as those conducted by Brookings and The University of Chicago, underscore the alarming projections of learning loss and escalating failure rates within this context. Bloom, a prominent higher education institution grappling with the tumult of the pandemic, has witnessed a palpable decline in average grades since its onset. Recognizing the imperative to stem this tide and foster informed decision-making, Bloom endeavors to harness the power of text analytics. Through the systematic analysis of unstructured textual data sourced from diverse channels—ranging from social media platforms to educational websites—Bloom endeavors to unveil underlying patterns, discern actionable insights, and drive strategic interventions. This article presents a comprehensive framework delineating Bloom's foray into text analytics, elucidating the attendant challenges, proposed solutions, and anticipated implementation strategies. By delving into the nuances of managing unstructured textual data and navigating the complexities thereof, this endeavor seeks to empower Bloom with the tools and insights requisite for optimizing academic performance and mitigating the deleterious effects of the pandemic.

We implemented a transition of care program using nurse navigators and early outpatient follow-up with a vascular neurologist.  Data were obtained on: Rate of recurrent stroke admissions within one-year, all-cause readmission within one-year, all-cause readmission within 30 days, initial follow-up scheduled within 7-10 days, compliance with follow up, and compliance rates with provision of two-day post-hospital discharge phone calls. 
Results
An improvement was seen in process measures reflecting adherence to the intervention across all 3 years.  The rate of readmission for stroke at 12 months was 8.5%, 9.0%, 6.6%, and 4.2% for year 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, representing a 50% reduction from baseline year 0.  All-cause readmission remained unchanged, at 38.9%, 42.6%, 36.6%, and 37.4% for year 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively. 
Conclusions
Our nurse navigator led stroke transition intervention was associated with significant reduction in readmissions for stroke but did not impact all cause readmission at one year or 30 days.  Our focus on Centers for Medicare/Medicaid intervention compliance has produced a sustainable program capable of now expanding to support other important patient needs.
A Drive Interrupted: Stroke of the Anterior Choroidal Artery – A Case Report
Authors: Brown Alex , Varkey Thomas , Singh Savdeep
Published: May 2024

The anterior choroidal artery (AChA) is the most distal branch of the internal carotid artery (ICA) The ACHA is significant because it supplies important structures in the brain, including the optic tract, anterior portion of cerebral peduncle, lateral geniculate body, uncus, globus pallidus, posterior and superficial areas of the thalamus, and the retrolenticular and posterior portions of the internal capsule on the same side as the artery.  Isolated strokes involving the AChA are rare and can result in HHH Syndrome, consisting of contralateral hemiplegia, hemisensory loss, and homonymous hemianopia. Features which distinguish an AChA infarction from larger arterial pathology are lack of headache and lack of depressed level of consciousness in subacute infarction, and usually lack of aphasia acutely. The etiology remains controversial, with proposed mechanisms including cardioembolic, large-vessel atherosclerosis, dissection of the ICA, small-vessel occlusion, and cryptogenic causes. Herein, the authors report a case of an isolated AChA infarction resulting in a right-sided, pure motor hemiparesis with no sensory or vision loss, highly suggestive of cardioembolic origin, with the evaluation of the patient, and eventual treatment strategy.

Feasibility of a Telemedicine-Based Principal Illness Navigation (PIN) Service for Complex Populations Following Hospital Discharge After Acute Stroke
Authors: Sheehan Lauren , Johnson Tailar , Carroll Kirsten , Jovin Tudor
Published: May 2024

Background
Principal Illness Navigation (PIN) services may play an important role in helping patients through important transitions in care following acute hospitalization. We evaluated a novel PIN telemedicine approach to understand the feasibility of providing these services to diverse patient cohorts.
Methods
A single-arm, retrospective observational study of Kandu Health’s post-acute PIN service was conducted in patients experiencing ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke in California and New Jersey. The technology-enabled program offered remote healthcare support led by occupational therapists and licensed clinical social workers that was tailored to individual patient needs to facilitate transition to community settings post-discharge. Barriers to recovery were addressed through patient education, one-on-one guidance, and specialized referrals. Patient outcomes were assessed through in-app assessments and clinician-assessed modified Rankin Scores conducted via video consultation. Readmissions were monitored through both patient reporting and admission/discharge/transfer feeds from health information exchanges.
Results
A total of 111 patients were enrolled between June 22, 2022 and January 11, 2024. Patients were onboarded an average of 29 ± 40 days (median 18, IQR 8-32) after acute care hospital discharge and spent an average of 81 ± 21 days (median 90, IQR 75-90) in the program. During that time, the average enrollee spent 333 ± 156 minutes (median 350, IQR 205-435) of 1:1 time interacting with their dedicated navigator, and navigators spent an additional 113 ± 87 minutes (median 95, IQR 61-140) per patient on care coordination and curriculum curation. Patients with 5 or more social determinants of health (SDOH) needs required over 50% more navigator time than those without any SDOH needs. Within 6 weeks of hospital discharge, 8.5% experienced an inpatient hospital all-cause readmission that was not associated with race, ethnicity, or SDOH.
Conclusions
High rates of enrollment and extensive patient engagement in both navigator-facilitated and self-directed program elements can be achieved using the Kandu program. Our findings indicate that telemedicine facilitated, app-supported PIN is feasible to deliver following acute stroke discharge across diverse ages, races, ethnicities, functional status (mRS), and social needs.
Imaginário do Sertão na proposta da convivência com o Semiárido
Authors: Silva de Almeida Áquila , Freire Barbosa Anna Christina
Published: May 2024

RESUMO: O presente artigo analisa o imaginário do sertão na proposta política da convivência com o semiárido e mais especificamente os modos de enunciar, instituir, dizer e existir do sertão explicitado nesse discurso. O marco metodológico é composto pela proposta de realização de um estudo com abordagem predominantemente qualitativa e com base teórica ancorada na Análise do Discurso. O arcabouço empírico revela que o discurso da convivência produz tensões e instiga novas dizibilidades e visibilidades para o semiárido/sertão. Assim, enuncia-se como um campo discursivo dotado de potência criativa provocando fissuras no discurso homogeneizador que nega a heterogeneidade, as potencialidades, a diversidade identitária e simbólica e a multiplicidade de modos de vida que atravessam a região semiárida.

COVID-19 accelerated digital healthcare technology usage in many countries, such as Colombia, whose digital healthcare vision and projects are proof of this. However, with a significant cultural indigenous and Afro-Colombian heritage, only some parts of the country are willing to follow the proposed digital Western approach to health. Our paper presents the national healthcare system’s digital narrative, which we contrast with the micro-narrative of an Afro-Colombian ethnomedicine unit in Bogota called Kilombo Yumma. This ethnomedical unit is building its mobile app to safeguard and represent its ancestral medicine practices in local and national healthcare information systems. Kilombo Yumma is keen on promoting their beliefs and practices, which have been passed on through oral traditions and currently exist in the hands of a few elderly. We unraveled their ambition, core beliefs, and practices through asset-based design. These assets outlined pluriversal and decolonizing forms of digital healthcare to increase social justice and connect Western and ancestral medicine digital opportunities through HCI.

Background: The prevalence of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the United States is ≤1%. Universal HCV screening is recommended nationwide. Here we describe our experience implementing universal HCV screening at a cancer center. Methods: In October 2016, universal HCV screening with HCV antibody (anti-HCV) was initiated for all new outpatients. Universal screening was promoted through widespread provider education, orders in the Epic electronic health records (EHRs), SmartSets, and automated EHR reminders. The effort focused on patients with solid tumors, because universal screening in patients with hematologic malignancies was already standard practice. Primary outcomes were the proportion of patients screened and the proportion of patients with reactive anti-HCV test results linked to HCV care. The secondary outcome was the incidence of HCV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma as a second primary malignancy (HCC-SPM) in patients with a history of other cancers before HCC diagnosis. Epic’s Reporting Workbench Business Intelligence tools were used. Statistical significance was defined as P<.05 on chi-square analysis. Results: From April 2016 through April 2023, 56,075 patients with solid tumors were screened for HCV, of whom 1,300 (2.3%) had reactive anti-HCV test results. The proportion of patients screened was 10.1% in the 6 months before study implementation and 34.4% in the last 6 months of the study (P<.001). HCV screening was ordered using SmartSets in 39,332 (45.8%) patients and in response to automated EHR reminders in 10,972 (12.8%) patients. Most patients with reactive anti-HCV test results were linked to care (765/1,300; 59%), most with proven HCV infection were treated (425/562; 76%), and most treated patients achieved sustained virologic response (414/425; 97%). The incidence of HCC-SPMs was 15% in historical controls treated from 2011 to 2017 and 5.7% following implementation of universal screening (P=.0002). Conclusions: Universal HCV screening can be successfully implemented in cancer hospitals using an EHR-based multipronged approach to eliminate HCV and prevent HCV-associated HCC-SPMs.
