High consumption of freshwater and natural aggregate in concrete production becomes a matter of some concern that has been discussed recent years. An alternative partially or totally replacement for both materials is significant issue to reduce the negative impacts on the environment. Therefore, the aim of this research is to observe explicitly the effect of using seawater as mixing combined with recycled coarse aggregate and other material to make new recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) under compressive load. The experimental laboratory test was conducted to total of thirty cylinders specimens of two to groups of mix design with w/c of 0.45. First was three types of percentage level of recycled coarse aggregate with targeted compressive strength of 25 MPa. The second was two types of mixtures and totally replaced by recycled coarse aggregate with targeted compressive strength of 30 MPa. Some specimens were mixed by seawater and all were placed in the freshwater-curing during some definite period of 7 and 28 days. The results show that the seawater and recycle aggregate were not significant influence to reduce the compression strength for first mix category, while the second mix category was having great influence up to 22% at 28 days. The reduction in compressive strength increases with an increase the targeted compressive load.

. This research is aimed to explore on the value of musyawarah (deliberation) in Serat Kancil Kridhamartana volume I. This Serat is a version of the Serat Kancil manuscript written in the scope of Pakualaman tradition (palace). Through deeper exploration on this manuscript, at least we can find one of the noble values of our nation’s culture, namely musyawarah mufakat (deliberation and consensus) which can be used as a basis for democratic behavior of state administrators. Given that until now, the democratic behavior of our administering apparatus is still far from substantial democratic values. This research is a type of literature research using a philosophical research model, namely historical factual about the text. In the process of analyzing research data, the researcher used methodical elements, namely interpretation, idealism, comparison, and description. The results of this study describe that Kancil Kridhamartana volume I contains the value of deliberation and consensus /or to reach a consensus (musyawarah-mufakat) as a guide in solving every problem. Deliberation as a value as well as a procedure does not stand alone but is related to other values, namely the values of divinity, humanity, unity and justice. The values of deliberation (musyawarah) contained in Serat Kancil Kridhamartana volume I are very relevant as an ethical foundation for realizing better democratic behavior of state administrators. Key words: values, musyawarah, democracy

Published: May 2021

This scientific writing merely aims to study further the meaning of mental revolution existing in Indonesia as one of such either program or what later is called national movement in order for the nation itself to generate the nation’s next generation possessing the great and real character of Pancasila. To say more, the study of mental revolution also has an objective or goal for the youth to be able to compete and face actively the change of the global world characteristically based on Pancasila perspective. This study takes the critical view of the young generation who shows almost little or no respect to the application of the value of Pancasila in their daily. In other words, the jubilee tends to ignore the moral value of behavior containing Pancasila. The study then applies the qualitative methode through the study of literature which is then processed using descriptive analysis. This qualitative study furthermore derives the analysis of mental revolution from the perspective of Pancasila education: background, process, and goal of mental revolution itself. To conclude as the last point, it is obtained that the meaning of Pancasika education exceeds the meaning of mental revolution itself, which means thay mental revolution is merely one of such many aspects learnt from the education of Pancasila. Key Words: Mental Revolution, Morality, Pancasila Education

La comunicacio?n en adolescentes con conductas disruptivas. La asertividad en adolescentes
Authors: Luna Rojas Jonathan Omar , Ochoa Encalada Sergio Constantino
Published: May 2021

bstract Teenagers are part of conflictive behavior inside classroom and in the educational institution, specifically students with disruptive behavior. The students of the Ciudad de Gualaceo School are not the exception, since, generally, they do not present a true interest in learning. Likewise, these teenagers do not realize how to defend their rights or opinions, since they do so in a very inflexible and hard way, without knowing that there are other ways to discuss, in a positive way avoiding conflict. One of these methods is the assertive communication, which produces a study environment according to the needs of the student; for this reason, we used the Rathus test, which allows obtaining the level of assertiveness based on several factors. However, according to the present research and the results obtained, adolescents with disruptive behaviors mostly do not have assertiveness, this scenario is due to certain external factors, such as the migration rate (students who do not live with their parents), and hormonal changes that affect emotional stability during this age.
Keywords: Communication, Assertiveness, Disruptive Behavior, Teenagers.
Resumo No que se refere a conflitos dentro da sala de aula e da instituição educativa, os adolescentes atualmente são parte de um grupo, especificamente os discentes, com comportamentos disruptivos. Os estudantes da Escuela Ciudad Gualaceo não são a exceção, dado que, geralmente, não apresentam o devido interesse na aprendizagem. Assim também esses adolescentes não sabem uma forma de defender seus direitos e opiniões, uma vez que o fazem de maneira inflexível e mordaz, sem saber que existem outras maneiras de discutir, de maneira prudente. Uma dessas maneiras é a comunicação assertiva, a qual produz um ambiente de estudo de acordo às necessidades do estudante; por esse motivo se utilizou o teste de Rathus, que permite obter o nível de assertividade baseado em diversos fatores. Sem dúvida, de acordo com a presente pesquisa e os resultados obtidos, os adolescentes com comportamentos disruptivos, em sua maioria, não tem assertividade. Esse resultado pode ser fruto de fatores externos como o índice de migração (estudantes que não vivem com seus pais), e mudanças hormonais que afetam a estabilidade emocional no transcurso dessa idade.

mHealth Interventions to Support Prescription Opioid Tapering in Patients With Chronic Pain: Qualitative Study of Patients’ Perspectives
Authors: Magee Michael Reece , McNeilage Amy Gray , Avery Nicholas , Glare Paul , Ashton-James Claire Elizabeth
Published: May 2021

Background

Patients with chronic pain who are tapering prescription opioids report a need for greater support for coping with symptoms of pain and withdrawal. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies (SMS text messaging– or app-based) have the potential to provide patients with educational, emotional, and motivational support for opioid tapering beyond what is offered by their health care provider. However, it is not known whether patients with chronic pain who are tapering opioids would be willing or able to engage with technology-based support.

Objective

This study aims to examine patients’ use of mobile technologies in health care, interest in using mHealth support, preferences for the form and content of mHealth support, and potential barriers to and facilitators of engagement with mHealth support for opioid tapering.

Methods

A total of 21 patients (11 women and 10 men; age range 29-83 years) with chronic noncancer pain on long-term opioid therapy who had recently initiated a voluntary opioid taper were recruited from primary and tertiary care clinics in metropolitan and regional Australia for a larger study of patients’ experiences of opioid tapering. Participants had been taking prescription opioids for a mean duration of 13 (SD 9.6; range 0.25-30) years at the time of the study. Survey items characterized participants’ typical mobile phone use and level of interest in mobile technology–based support for opioid tapering. Semistructured interviews further explored patients’ use of mobile technologies and their interest in, preferences for, and perspectives on potential barriers to and facilitators of engagement with mHealth support for opioid tapering. Two researchers collaborated to conduct a thematic analysis of the interview data.

Results

All participants reported owning and using a mobile phone, and most (17/21, 81%) participants reported using mobile apps. The majority of participants expressed interest in SMS text messaging–based (17/21, 81%) and app-based (15/21, 71%) support for opioid tapering. Participants expected that messages delivering both informational and socioemotional support would be helpful. Participants expected that access to technology, mobile reception, internet connectivity, vision impairment, and low self-efficacy for using apps may be barriers to user engagement. Patients expected that continuity of care from their health care provider, flexible message dosing, responsivity, and familiarity with pain self-management strategies would increase user engagement.

Conclusions

The results of this study indicate that patients with chronic noncancer pain may be willing to engage with SMS text messaging–based and app-based mHealth interventions to support opioid tapering. However, the feasibility and acceptability of these interventions may depend on how patients’ preferences for functionality, content, and design are addressed.
An mHealth App to Support Patients With Psoriasis in Relation to Follow-up Consultations: Qualitative Study
Authors: Trettin Bettina , Danbjørg Dorthe Boe , Andersen Flemming , Feldman Steven , Agerskov Hanne
Published: May 2021

Background

Teledermatology has the potential to help deliver health care by transforming the relationship between patients and health care professionals (HCPs), shifting the power of consultation so that patients can become more informed, assertive, and involved in their care. Mobile health (mHealth) is a promising and reliable tool for the long-term management of patients with psoriasis on systemic treatment. In an attempt to facilitate a more patient-centered approach in clinical practice, we designed and developed an mHealth solution to support patients with self-management and empowerment.

Objective

The aim of this study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of patients and health care professionals of using an mHealth solution that was developed using a participatory design approach.

Methods

This was an exploratory qualitative study. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with patients and focus group interviews with HCPs.

Results

All participants found it easy to use the mHealth solution, and the patients found it convenient. Patients’ reflexivity was improved because they could prepare ahead of consultations. Video consultations provided patients with a degree of freedom in their everyday lives, with not having to attend in-person visits. Among the HCPs, there were concerns regarding their medical responsibilities, as they could not assess the patients’ skin as they used to. The mHealth solution required new workflows and procedures that were not part of the existing consultation routines.

Conclusions

The mHealth solution can strengthen the relationship between HCPs and patients and facilitate patients to become more active in their care. Alignment and structure in relation to the selection of eligible patient candidates for being offered the mHealth solution could reduce social health inequalities. In addition, video consultations changed HCPs’ work practice, necessitating new types of skills to communicate with patients.

Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

The use of oral treatments is constantly growing in the area of onco-hematology, raising adherence and safety issues. There is an increasing body of literature highlighting the importance of patient empowerment in the self-management of cancer therapies. Within this scenario, the ONCO-TreC platform was customized and fine-tuned through a prospective multicenter training-validation study in cancer patients treated with oral anticancer drugs.

OBJECTIVE

This prospective randomized trial was designed to compare the effectiveness of two different strategies, ie, an electronic diary (ONCO-TreC) and a paper diary, for the management of oral cancer treatments in patients with solid and hematological tumors.

METHODS

Ad hoc strategies are planned to measure and monitor adherence to treatment and to assess usability and acceptability of the electronic diary. Informed consent will be obtained from all study participants.

RESULTS

This innovative eHealth system is expected to contribute to increasing the adherence to and safety of cancer care, promoting patient empowerment and improving patient-doctor communication. Ethical approval was obtained from the Independent Ethics Committees of the participating institutions (CEIIAV protocol no. 2982/2020; reference no. 2108).

CONCLUSIONS

Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conferences and event presentations.

Public Perceptions of Diabetes, Healthy Living, and Conversational Agents in Singapore: Needs Assessment (Preprint)
Authors: Dhinagaran Dhakshenya Ardhithy , Sathish Thirunavukkarasu , Kowatsch Tobias , Griva Konstadina , Best James Donovan , Tudor Car Lorainne
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

The incidence of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes is increasing in countries worldwide, including Singapore. Health professional–delivered healthy lifestyle interventions have been shown to prevent type 2 diabetes. However, ongoing personalized guidance from health professionals is not feasible or affordable at the population level. Novel digital interventions delivered using mobile technology, such as conversational agents, are a potential alternative for the delivery of healthy lifestyle change behavioral interventions to the public.

OBJECTIVE

We explored perceptions and experiences of Singaporeans on healthy living, diabetes, and mobile health (mHealth) interventions (apps and conversational agents). This study was conducted to help inform the design and development of a conversational agent focusing on healthy lifestyle changes.

METHODS

This qualitative study was conducted in August and September 2019. A total of 20 participants were recruited from relevant healthy living Facebook pages and groups. Semistructured interviews were conducted in person or over the telephone using an interview guide. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed in parallel by 2 researchers using Burnard’s method, a structured approach for thematic content analysis.

RESULTS

The collected data were organized into 4 main themes: use of conversational agents, ubiquity of smartphone apps, understanding of diabetes, and barriers and facilitators to a healthy living in Singapore. Most participants used health-related mobile apps as well as conversational agents unrelated to health care. They provided diverse suggestions for future conversational agent-delivered interventions. Participants also highlighted several knowledge gaps in relation to diabetes and healthy living. Regarding barriers to healthy living, participants mentioned frequent dining out, high stress levels, lack of work-life balance, and lack of free time to engage in physical activity. In contrast, discipline, preplanning, and sticking to a routine were important for enabling a healthy lifestyle.

CONCLUSIONS

Participants in this study commonly used mHealth interventions and provided important insights into their knowledge gaps and needs in relation to changes in healthy lifestyle behaviors. Future digital interventions such as conversational agents focusing on healthy lifestyle and diabetes prevention should aim to address the barriers highlighted in our study and motivate individuals to adopt healthy lifestyle behavior.

La materia de análisis de este ensayo son las expresiones de protesta de mujeres durante 2019, específicamente el fenómeno #MeToo en México, las marchas de agosto y noviembre, la iniciativa del colectivo Restauradoras con Glitter, también en México, y la performance “Un violador en tu camino” del colectivo chileno LasTesis. Se analiza, a partir de la perspectiva sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu, el desarrollo de estos fenómenos como combates en el terreno simbólico dentro de la lucha más amplia de las mujeres por el reconocimiento y cumplimiento de su derecho a no ser violentadas, esto con el objetivo de entender los sentidos y la centralidad que adquieren expresiones de carácter estético en las luchas políticas del movimiento feminista
El arpa y la sombra en el marco de la “nueva novela histórica” de América Latina
Authors: Flores Bonilla Karen Elizabeth
Published: May 2021

El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las estrategias narrativas presentes en El arpa y la sombra de Alejo Carpentier (1979) que comprenden lo que la teoría literaria actual ha identificado como la “nueva novela histórica” latinoamericana. Primero se proporciona un breve panorama de la novela histórica tradicional y su contexto de aparición durante el romanticismo europeo del siglo xix, a partir de las aportaciones de Georg Lukács (1966), con la intención de diferenciar su modelo del correspondiente a la producción posterior en este género. A continuación se ofrece una caracterización general de la novela histórica escrita en América Latina a partir de las décadas finales del siglo xx, para reconocer las circunstancias histórico-sociales que dieron lugar a su renovación y a los rasgos que la determinan, junto con las propuestas de Mentón (1993) y Aínsa (1991) sobre el papel fundamental de Carpentier en su constitución. Finalmente, se realiza el estudio de cada uno de los aspectos señalados (distorsión consciente de los eventos históricos, ficcionalización de las grandes figuras históricas, uso de la primera persona en la narración, el dialogismo y la polifonía) con el objeto de demostrar la pertenencia de El arpa y la sombra a este reciente tipo de textos.

The English language has become a global language and as such, it is expected to be devoid of racial discrimination and prejudice. The English language has both verbal and non-verbal systems of communication which often requires semantic and semiotic analyses for the purpose of generating meaning. Most English words with the prefix 'black' have meanings that are either connotative or derogative. Using Jakobson’s transmutation theory, the study establishes the relationship between colour, culture, and racial prejudice in English language black-prefixed lexicons. This is a subtle form of racism when such words are taught in schools. The design adopted for this research was a qualitative, and no variables were manipulated because it was a library research. The study examined the socio-semiotic elements of black-prefixed words in the English language to establish that there is subtle racism in English expressions used and taught in schools. It was concluded that instruction in the language should be revitalized to eradicate racism of any form, especially in the second language classroom.
