A Pilot Study on the Degree of Tooth Staining Caused by Pollen Water and Chlorhexidine: In Vitro Study
Authors: Almulhim Khalid S. , Alhareky Muhanad S. , AlDakhil Ahmed Mohammed , Alsultan Odai , Barouch Kasumi K.
Published: December 2021

Background:

Chlorhexidine oral rinse has been used as an adjuvant in the treatment of periodontal disease. However, there are drawbacks of using chlorhexidine i.e. tooth staining and other side effects, including allergy reaction. In light of the proven therapeutic properties of pollen water as well as its relatively cheap cost in the market, pollen water has a potential to be an effective alternative to chlorhexidine oral rinse. The aim of this study is to compare the degree of tooth staining influenced by water-based pollen mouthwash to the standard Chlorhexidine mouthwash using spectrophotometer.

Materials and Methods:

24 specimens from extracted intact human teeth were soaked into the three different solutions, Chlorhexidine, Pollen water (date palm pollen water suspension), and normal water. Color measurements were carried out by a spectrophotometer devise and recorded at 5 different time intervals. Color change (∆E), Chroma (C*) and Hue (H*) were analyzed and compared among the three solutions.

Results:

Overall mean ∆E was similar in all groups, significant difference between all time points was found only in pollen water. The change in C* was higher in pollen water as compared to other solutions. There was a subtle increase in H* in the Chlorhexidine samples after week 3. The H* values in pollen water were stable, but a sudden decrease was observed in week 6. The difference in H* among the three solutions was significant after 3 weeks.

Conclusion:

Within the limitation of our study, it can be concluded that Pollen water stained teeth to a lesser extent than did chlorhexidine. It might be beneficial to use Pollen water as mouthwash however, further investigation is needed regarding the efficacy of plaque control.
The Influence of the Material Properties on the Ultimate Behaviour of Aluminium H-shaped Beams
Authors: Montuori Rosario , Nastri Elide , Piluso Vincenzo , Pisapia Alessandro
Published: December 2021

Background:

In this paper, the influence of the Ramberg-Osgood exponent on the ultimate behaviour of the H-shaped (or I-shaped) aluminium beams subjected to non-uniform bending moment is investigated.

Methods:

In particular, the results of a wide parametric analysis recently carried out by the authors are herein exploited to point out the influence of the material properties. The flange slenderness, the flange-to-web slenderness ratio, and the non-dimensional shear length, accounting for the moment gradient, are the main non-dimensional parameters governing the ultimate resistance and the rotation capacity of H-shaped aluminium beams.

Results:

The influence of these parameters was investigated considering four different materials covering both low yielding-high hardening alloys and high yielding-low hardening alloys, which are characterised by significant differences in the values of the Ramberg-Osgood exponent of the stress-strain constitutive law of the material.

Conclusion:

Finally, empirical formulations for predicting the non-dimensional ultimate flexural strength and the plastic rotation capacity of H-section aluminium beams under moment gradient have been provided as a function of the Ramberg-Osgood exponent and all the above non-dimensional parameters.
Tematização da Deficiência na Literatura Infantil — Olhares Sobre as Personagens
Authors: Souza Renata Junqueira de , Rodrigues Sílvia de Fátima Pilegi
Published: December 2021

O presente estudo se propõe a problematizar a representação de personagens com deficiência física em obras de literatura infantil. A discussão é relevante visto que a temática vem se colocando em livros produzidos para a infância no Brasil, principalmente a partir de 2008, com a Política Nacional de Educação Especial na Perspectiva Inclusiva (Decreto nº 6.571, 2008). Embora a questão já aparecesse em algumas obras literárias em períodos anteriores, geralmente com uma abordagem estereotipada. As editoras de literatura infantil, diante de várias políticas e programas institucionais, acharam um filão no tema das necessidades especiais. Indubitavelmente, pressões sociais e políticas de inclusão interferem nas produções literárias e sua inserção também no contexto escolar. Neste sentido, analisar obras que não reforcem estereótipos ou remetam a deficiência como superação heroica, resignação e aceitação do destino, colocando as personagens em condições de subalternidade e/ou que inspirem piedade ou vontade divina, pode colaborar para a ampliação de olhares acerca do que é estigmatizado como deficiência e os limites e possibilidades do ser humano em diferentes condições e potencialidades. Comparar livros infantis que trazem esses dois aspectos — superação e aceitação do real versus resignação e superação heroica — pode ajudar leitores e crianças a compreender a deficiência dentro de uma normalidade e abrir boas perspectivas de discussão sobre a temática com esses leitores em formação.
Trabalhadores com Síndrome de Down: Autonomia e Bem-Estar no Trabalho
Authors: Corrêa Alex Sandro , Crochick José Leon , Correia Rodrigo Nuno Peiró , Ventura Fabiana Duarte de Sousa
Published: December 2021

Este artigo apresenta o relato de uma pesquisa que foi uma reaplicação na cidade de São Paulo (Brasil) da desenvolvida em Portugal por Veiga e Fernandes (2014). Reflete sobre alguns dados obtidos, os quais demonstram o papel, a importância e o impacto do ingresso no mundo do trabalho na vida de trabalhadores com síndrome de Down, incluindo o sentimento de bem-estar, de autonomia e as relações de amizade adquiridas. Foram entrevistados não apenas esses trabalhadores, mas também seus chefes imediatos, amigos e colegas de trabalho, e foram realizadas também observações nos locais de trabalho. Sabendo que a inclusão social não se concretiza de modo alheio ao mundo do trabalho, destacamos a importância das políticas públicas, quer na promoção de direitos, quer na defesa dos direitos já conquistados, inclusive o da participação de pessoas com síndrome de Down na sociedade. O resultado deste estudo evidenciou que a conquista do emprego possibilitou o aumento da autoestima, o desenvolvimento da autonomia e do bem-estar dos trabalhadores, proporcionando-lhes conquistas no campo afetivo-social (namoros e amizades), nos âmbitos familiar, econômico e profissional, ainda que com restrições. Além disso, o emprego propiciou a percepção de se sentirem mais úteis e aceitos pelos pares (“sensação de pertencimento”), bem como a possibilidade de poderem contribuir para a família e de traçarem planos para o futuro, com projetos semelhantes aos de qualquer jovem adulto, como viajar, casar e ter filhos.
French Support and Work Assistance Establishment and Social and Professional Integration of Workers With Disabilities in Rural Areas. The Example of Habert (Savoie, France)
Authors: Escuriet Meddy , Fournier Mauricette , Vuilbert Sophie
Published: December 2021

This article proposes to address the issue of inclusion through work and in a rural environment of people with mental disabilities and/or intellectual disabilities. Through the example of a French support and work assistance establishment, the support and work assistance establishment Le Habert, located in a small rural and mountainous village in the Alps and offering people with disabilities to work on a farm, the article will first address the importance of work as a means for people to regain their dignity. Between the feeling of usefulness and pride in participating in the operation of one territory, by being fully involved in the process of producing and adding value to a product, accompanying the farm allows, apart from these therapeutic virtues, a real professional inclusion. Living in houses or apartments in the surrounding villages, the accommodation, allowing contact between people with disabilities and local inhabitants is also a vector of social inclusion. However, while the rural setting can be an asset for inclusion because of the professional and social opportunities, the isolation and geographical inaccessibility of the rural mountainous environment can be an obstacle for people who do not necessarily have the means to be mobile. By offering personalised support for mobility, the institution transforms geographical exclusion into an asset for professional, social and spatial inclusion.
Educação Inclusiva na Contemporaneidade à Luz da Teoria Crítica da Sociedade
Authors: Santos Jaciete Barbosa dos , Ogasawara Jenifer Satie Vaz
Published: December 2021

A proposta de educação inclusiva, iniciada no final do século passado, obteve maior efervescência na primeira década do século vigente, conforme verificamos no âmbito das pesquisas, estudos e promulgações legislativas. Todavia, no Brasil, assim como em muitos países do mundo, o processo educacional de pessoas com deficiência ainda é permeado por muita precariedade, evidenciada tanto pela indisponibilidade de recursos e serviços básicos de acessibilidade, quanto pela manutenção de crenças e atitudes que impedem a inclusão educacional digna dessas pessoas. O presente artigo visa refletir acerca da inclusão educacional das pessoas com deficiência no contexto contemporâneo, tomando como referência a teoria crítica da sociedade, sobretudo os estudos de Adorno (1970/1995, 1972/2010). Analisa-se, também, no decorrer deste trabalho a necessidade de ampliação do olhar em relação a essa temática para além das especificidades que possuem as pessoas com deficiência. Ademais, buscou-se, paralelamente, apontar a necessidade de fomentar no ambiente educacional uma formação que permita ao indivíduo reconhecer a humanidade contida em todos(as) e em cada um(a). Considera-se que isso só será verdadeiramente possível quando os sistemas educacionais assumirem o compromisso com a formação de valores humanos que nos despertem a perceber nos outros semelhanças e diferenças como aspectos naturais da diversidade humana que nos constitui. Esta mudança depende, em grande medida, de uma verdadeira formação, amparada na autorreflexão crítica dos indivíduos e da sociedade, concomitantemente. Do contrário, ficaremos cada vez mais expostos à barbárie, resultante de uma pseudoformação/semiformação, que ainda impera na maioria das nossas instituições.
A Arte Multifacetada: Dinâmicas Culturais e Políticas da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Sant'Anna Sabrina Marques Parracho , Suzano Débora da Silva , Barenco Vitória Ferreira Dias , Durães Bianca Vidal
Published: December 2021

Esta contribuição busca apresentar o breve resumo de uma longa pesquisa baseada nos acontecimentos das últimas décadas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Este artigo percorre um trajeto que busca prioritariamente compreender o uso de aparelhos culturais e artísticos como ferramentas para um complexo processo de mudanças e perspectivas na cidade. Mudanças estas impulsionas pelo fato da cidade do Rio ter sediado dois megaeventos, a Copa do Mundo FIFA (2014) e as Olimpíadas (2016), com forte impacto nas áreas centrais e/ou turísticas da cidade. A zona portuária figura como o principal campo desta pesquisa, desde a ideia de área abandonada a centro de um polo cultural, com drásticas mudanças visuais, estruturais e simbólicas, tendo como principais exemplos a construção do Museu de Arte do Rio e do Museu do Amanhã. Uma retrospectiva da vida política da cidade assim como suas gestões municipais constroem a ideia de que a instrumentalização da arte e seu uso como ferramenta para “revitalizar” áreas da cidade parte de um projeto antigo que encontrou na vinda dos grandes eventos o momento exato para ser posto em prática. Em contrapartida, pequenos coletivos culturais autônomos surgiram na região durante esse processo, inserindo na discussão novos conceitos e significados para o uso da arte, tornando a discussão em torno da zona portuária e seus agentes ainda mais complexa. Por fim, ao analisarmos o cenário político recente da cidade, foi possível perceber a ofensiva a instituições culturais decorrente de perspectivas políticas conservadoras, o que novamente redefine o uso da arte e da cultura na cidade.

Об одной библиографической химере: трактат Д. С. Аничкова в издании Н. И. Новикова
Authors: Зайцева А. В. , Лифшиц А. Л.
Published: December 2021

References to Dmitrii Anichkov’s Annotationes in logicam, metaphysicam et cosmologiam (1782) regularly appear in literature on Russian book history. However, this publication not only did not exist, but could not exist. Anichkov, following the classification put forth by Christian Wolf and Friedrich Baumeister, regarded cosmology as part of metaphysics. In fact, Anichkov’s textbook, entitled Annotationes in logicam et metaphysicam, which was published in 1782 and 1783, included two volumes that ontology and cosmology respectively. Both are yet to be explored.
Konstantin Batiushkov "An Evening at Kantemir’s" (1816)
Authors: Levitt Marcus
Published: December 2021

Konstantin Batiushkov’s “An Evening at Kantemir’s” (Vecher u Kantemira, 1816) is unique as a work of literature, a document of Russian intellectual history, and a cultural and artistic manifesto. The “Evening” takes its cue from the popular Enlightenment genre of “dialogues with the dead,” although Batiushkov brings together people who were contemporaries rather than widely separated historical figures, as was usual.  In it, the poet Antiokh Kantemir (1708-44) challenges Montesquieu’s argument from The Spirit of Laws that Russia’s harsh climate has resulted in its alleged lack of civilization.  Batiushkov was rewriting history with hindsight, and one of the charming aspects of the work is its slightly humorous and lightly ironic play with anachronism, as Batiushkov presents Kantemir as marvelously prophetic of the later successes of Russian literature. Typical is his interlocutor’s statement that “It is easier to believe that the Russians will storm Paris” than that Russia could produce a Lomonosov. Batiushkov himself was with the troops that took Paris in 1814, and the recent Russian victory was surely on readers’ minds as they read this piece.  “An Evening at Kantemir’s” attempted to integrate the “new” Russian literature with the eighteenth-century “classicist” literary and Enlightenment tradition. It also illustrates Batiushkov’s faith in poetry as a fundamental way to advance the cause of national progress.

Authors: Çiftci Nurdan , Vezir Emine , Alioğlu Bülent
Published: December 2021

Objective: There is no definitive consensus on asthma exacerbation scoring for preschool children with recurrent wheezing. The Clinical Asthma Score (CAS) and Asthma Severity Score (ASS) are two scoring systems that can be used in this population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between CAS and ASS, acute treatment, and exacerbation outcomes in preschool children with wheezing. Materials and Methods: The study included 70 patients aged 2-5 years who presented to the pediatric emergency department due to an acute wheezing episode. CAS and ASS were evaluated at exacerbation presentation and after initial salbutamol therapy. Results: Presenting scores were significantly higher among patients who had three or more episodes within the last year (p=0.01 for CAS, p=0.019 for ASS). Presenting scores were significantly higher in patients treated with systemic steroid therapy during the episode compared to those who were not (p=0.006 for CAS; p=0.003 for ASS). CAS and ASS predicted the use of acute steroid therapy with a sensitivity of 73.7% and 52.6%, and predicted hospitalization with a sensitivity of 95% and 82.5%, respectively. Conclusion: Our data suggest that these scoring systems can be used to judge the need for systemic steroid therapy and that high scores are associated with greater likelihood of hospital admission. Keywords: Asthma score, children, hospitalization, wheezing, exacerbation
NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY- 2020: RETHINKING ASSESSMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Panigrahi Soumya Priyadarsani , Gupta Satyendra
Published: December 2021

The Government of India published, after independence, nation’s third policy on education on July 30, 2020. This policy on education titled as “National Education Policy- 2020” (NEP-2020). This much anticipated education policy is a widespread policy covering all level and aspects of education of the country. Part ‘Two’ of NEP- 2020 covered the area of higher education and detailed about the expectations in this area. For an economically developing country like India, where the demand for a quality skilled workforce is very high it becomes necessary to keep a check on the quality of education provided in the higher education system. Assessment plays a crucial role in improving the quality of education by giving feedback. Normally assessment is done as objectives of education are formulated. Any teaching-learning process is incomplete without a proper assessment mechanism. National Education Policy- 2020 is expecting and suggesting fundamental change in the traditional assessment system in higher education. This paper is an attempt to explore the important recommendations made by National Education Policy- 2020 on ‘Assessment’ in the area of higher education.

PALLIATIVE CARE: THE PRACTICE OF END OF LIFE CARE
Authors: Chopra Esther Macedo
Published: December 2021

Providing care to the sick is not an obligation but a duty that is bound with human connectedness to each other. Palliative care picks up the strings along with curative treatment to try and provide a comfortable death. Palliative care is provided after a complete assessment is done on the symptoms and the stage of the disease and the condition of the patient. This discipline works not in isolation but with the patient’s family or care giver. The family becomes a part of providing treatment to the patient and they are also given emotional and mental support.

Authors: . Nirmala , Dhawan Seema
Published: December 2021

The features of thinking processes as well as styles of thinking are embodied in a person's innate tendency in processing information, which is referred to as thinking style. In all aspects of social interactions, it is critical to understand a person's thinking style. It has been reported in the literature that if a person understands his/her thinking style, he/she determines which function they can perform better in the team. However, once the group’s thinking style is established, the team will work more motivated, energized and make better decisions. Therefore, the team work or the cooperative learning approach has a close association with the thinking style of the members. In the present paper, an effort is taken to study the thinking Style of Students of higher secondary schools of Dehradun district and to compare the thinking style of the students who are learning with the Cooperative Learning method and with the Traditional Method. The findings indicate that cooperative learning method is effective than the traditional method.

Corporate Governance is a system by which companies are directed and controlled. Corporate Governance mainly aims at total transparency integrity and accountability of Company affairs. Corporate Governance aims to achieve best interest to all stake holders. Stake holders are the term coined with the development of corporate governance. Previously everything used to look from the view point of shareholders. Stake holders are persons who are directly or indirectly connected to company. The stakeholders may be internal or external. Internal stake holders may be promoters, members, workmen, executive’s etc. external stake holders may be customer, Lenders, Dealers, vendors, bankers, community, government etc. As it is well known that, even through a company is a person in the eye of law, its personality has certain limitations as to perform certain functions. It is only a juristic person existing only in the eye of law and not capable of taking certain decisions, which are hallmark of natural persons. Decision making and running the affairs of the company is one of such thing that a company cannot do on its own as a person.

Education is the mainstay of our country. It is an instrument for national human resource development. Listed among the world's fastest growing economies, India remains far behind in the queue when it comes to education. Low quality education is preventing India's development from meeting the demands of the 21st century economy. Quality education refers to such education which should discharge its objectives of construction. If we talk about modern era, it would be wrong to call education of any country as quality. The teachings of the present have failed to achieve their objectives. Quality education often includes the same education. Those who understand the interest and abilities of students in teaching and learning and fulfill the needs of the society and make the students eligible to earn a living. If we talk about India, you will get many such studies in India, which are unemployed even after getting education. On an average, educated people are unemployed and it is a shame for our education system. Quality education is the demand of modern society and the demand for quality is everywhere irrespective of the field.

CONCEPT OF SAṄKHARA DUKKHA
Authors: . Dhammasari
Published: December 2021

The term saṅkhāra has various shade of meaning according to the different contexts. It has a multiple combination with other Buddhist philosophical terms, which totally has an effect on its original meaning and brings about a much wider and complicated import of this term. It can be said that the term saṅkhāra is much more flexible compared with other Buddhist philosophical terms. In the five Nikāyas, it appears in combinations with different words as dukkha and upadhi. Now the different combinations of this term, saṅkhāradukkha, will be explained in the paper. It is found in Dukkha-pañhāsuttaDukkhatā sutta (Sanyuttanikāya) and Saṅgiti sutta (Dighanikāya). In these suttas, the term saṅkhāradukkha appears as one of three kinds of dukkha, namely, dukkha-dukkha (intrinsic suffering), vipariṇāma dukkha (suffering in change) and saṅkhāra dukkha (suffering due to formation). In the Dutiyavedanā sutta of the Itivuttaka, it is indirectly expressed using the word 'adukkhamasukhan' as its synonym. It is necessary to mention here the verse of the Itivuttaka which indirectly states the three kinds of dukkha.

Authors: Vartak Lalita , Varade Gauri
Published: December 2021

Communication is a basic need to our humanity as social beings. Our relationships are built and maintained through communication, our education and work is also depended on communication (Jagoe, n.d.). Most importantly, hearing connects us to people and enable us to communicate in a way that none of our other senses can achieve. Different formative evaluation tools and techniques can help to fulfil the special needs of the hearing impaired students. . Role play, Group discussion, oral presentation, survey and discussion and poster making and presentation are few of the useful techniques which can be used for formative evaluation of the hearing-impaired students. Role play gives a good plat form to these students to build the skill of communication which also develops their confidence. Bolton in his research paper found that rubrics helped students to understand the detailed points regarding the assignment. Thus, rubric will also be helpful for them to evaluate their own performance and provided immediate feedback on their strengths and weakness (Bolton, 2006). Thus, the teacher can work on the special needs of the hearing impaired students by implementing formative evaluation techniques along with its rubric.

Sambalpur is the hub of western Odisha. It is famous all over India and abroad as well because of its music and dance, handloom, Hirakud Dam and rich culture. However, in comparison to elementary education, the development of higher education in this Sambalpur district is too late. The first higher educational institution of Sambalpur is Gangadhar Meher College, 1944 and the latest university is the Odisha State Open University, 2015. The main cause of delayed development of higher education in Sambalpur is the lack of interest of the British government. Nevertheless, after India got her independence, higher education was widely promoted through the endeavour of both Government and Private enterprise. Some of the colleges and universities worthy to be mentioned are Indian Institute of Management Sambalpur, Odisha State Open University,Sambalpur University,Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology, Sambalpur University Institute of Information Technology,Gangadhar Meher University, Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose College, Government Womens’ College, Lajpat Rai Law College, Hirakud College, Orissa Medical College of Homeopathy and Research, Burla College, Govt College of Physical Education, Sambalpur, Nursing College, Dr Parshuram Mishra Institute of Advanced Studies in Education and Silicon Institute of Technology.

The Relative Contributions of Live and Recorded Online Mindfulness Training Programs to Lower Stress in the Workplace: Longitudinal Observational Study
Authors: Wolever Ruth Q , Finn Michael T M , Shields Denise
Published: December 2021

Background

Despite numerous gaps in the literature, mindfulness training in the workplace is rapidly proliferating. Many “online” or “digital mindfulness” programs do not distinguish between live teaching and recorded or asynchronous sessions, yet differences in delivery mode (eg, face-to-face, online live, online self-guided, other) may explain outcomes.

Objective

The aim of this study was to use existing data from an online mindfulness solutions company to assess the relative contribution of live and recorded mindfulness training to lower perceived stress in employees.

Methods

Perceived stress and the amount of live and recorded online mindfulness training accessed by employees were assessed during eMindful’s One-Percent Challenge (OPC). The OPC is a 30-day program wherein participants are encouraged to spend 1% of their day (14 minutes) practicing mindfulness meditation on the platform. We used linear mixed-effects models to assess the relationship between stress reduction and usage of components of the eMindful platform (live teaching and recorded options) while controlling for potential reporting bias (completion) and sampling bias.

Results

A total of 8341 participants from 44 companies registered for the OPC, with 7757 (93.00%) completing stress assessments prior to the OPC and 2360 (28.29%) completing the postassessment. Approximately one-quarter of the participants (28.86%, 2407/8341) completed both assessments. Most of the completers (2161/2407, 89.78%) engaged in the platform at least once. Among all participants (N=8341), 8.78% (n=707) accessed only recorded sessions and 33.78% (n=2818) participated only in the live programs. Most participants engaged in both live and recorded options, with those who used any recordings (2686/8341, 32.20%) tending to use them 3-4 times. Controlling for completer status, any participation with the eMindful OPC reduced stress (B=–0.32, 95% CI –0.35 to –0.30, SE=0.01, t2393.25=–24.99, P<.001, Cohen d=–1.02). Participation in live programs drove the decrease in stress (B=–0.03, SE=0.01, t3258.61=–3.03, P=.002, d=–0.11), whereas participation in recorded classes alone did not. Regular practice across the month led to a greater reduction in stress.

Conclusions

Our findings are in stark contrast to the rapid evolution of online mindfulness training for the workplace. While the market is reproducing apps and recorded teaching at an unprecedented pace, our results demonstrate that live mindfulness programs with recorded or on-demand programs used to supplement live practices confer the strongest likelihood of achieving a significant decrease in stress levels.
Active Usage of Mobile Health Applications: Cross-sectional Study (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Yang , Wu Tailai , Chen Zhuo
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Mobile health applications are being increasingly used for people’s health management. The different uses of mobile health applications lead to different health outcomes. Although active usage of mobile health applications is shown to be linked to the effectiveness of mobile health services, the factors that influence people’s active usage of mobile health applications are not well studied.

OBJECTIVE

This paper aims to examine the antecedents of active usage of mobile health applications.

METHODS

Grounded on the 3-factor theory, we proposed 10 attributes of mobile health applications that influence the active usage of mobile health applications through consumers’ satisfaction and dissatisfaction. We classified these 10 attributes into 3 categories (ie, excitement attributes, performance attributes, and basic attributes). Using the survey method, 494 valid responses were collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling.

RESULTS

Our analysis results revealed that both consumer satisfaction (β=0.351, t=6.299, P<.001) and dissatisfaction (β=–0.251, t=5.119, P<.001) significantly influenced active usage. With regard to the effect of attributes, excitement attributes (β=0.525, t=12.861, P<.001) and performance attributes (β=0.297, t=6.508, P<.001) positively influenced consumer satisfaction, while performance attributes (β=–0.231, t=3.729, P<.001) and basic attributes (β=–0.412, t=7.132, P<.001) negatively influenced consumer dissatisfaction. The results of the analysis confirmed our proposed hypotheses.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study provides a novel perspective to study the active usage of mobile health applications. By categorizing the attributes of mobile health applications into 3 categories, the differential effects of different attributes can be tested. Meanwhile, consumer satisfaction and dissatisfaction are confirmed to be independent from each other.
