Formación de docentes, su concomitancia con el paradigma del pensamiento complejo y la manifestación de reproducciones sociales y axiológicas en el aula
Authors: González López Diana Karina
Published: June 2021

El sistema educativo en México, atraviesa por momentos álgidos que exigen de los profesionales de la educación actitudes de compromiso para la transformación social. En la actualidad los paradigmas que guían la enseñanza deben atender a la formación de sujetos con sentido y actitud crítica, en donde el aula se configure como el espacio que permita el intercambio de ideas para renovar y reestructurar el pensamiento, además de hacer una revisión de aquellas pautas de comportamiento que han dejado observar la falta de actitudes positivas en las interacciones cotidianas. El trabajo con alumnos que se están formando para desempeñar la labor docente implica al mismo tiempo pensar en el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico, no como una posibilidad sino como una condición necesaria para la práctica educativa, dado que si formamos docentes que son indiferentes ante la reproducción cultural e intelectual, será una pauta en la que con dificultad existirá ruptura, además de que en poco tiempo se convertirían en leales reproductores de modelos educativos que probablemente no les signifiquen mucho, pero ante los cuales no se encuentran en condiciones de considerarlos desde una perspectiva compleja en la que asuman una postura epistemológica y pedagógica desde la cual reestructuren su pensamiento encaminado al sentido crítico.
Para a compreensão das práticas institucionais, o envolvimento e as perceções de desenvolvimento dos estudantes em contexto de ensino superior: a complementaridade de diferentes designs de investigação
Authors: Rosas da Silva Sofia de Lurdes
Published: June 2021

As instituições de ensino superior têm revelado um interesse considerável pela melhoria das políticas e práticas educativas a nível institucional, em parte fruto da quantidade considerável de investigação desenvolvida, que tem revelado que aquilo que as instituições fazem apresenta o impacto mais importante no desenvolvimento integral do estudante. A investigação tem-se revelado, assim, um meio para compreender as especificidades das dinâmicas existentes entre as práticas institucionais e o desenvolvimento integral dos estudantes, e tem-se também assumido como uma ferramenta fundamental para o planeamento de políticas e práticas educativas de qualidade, junto de decisores e educadores. Pretende-se, neste espaço, através de um estudo sobre as dinâmicas de envolvimento e desenvolvimento do estudante, no contexto de uma instituição de ensino superior portuguesa, explorar a complementaridade de diferentes abordagens de investigação não só para a compreensão do fenómeno em estudo, como também para o desenho de intervenções educativas ricas e envolventes.

Las TIC como apoyo a la tutoría en la Educación Infantil. Una propuesta para la colaboración
Authors: Molina Jaén María Dolores , Panão Ramalho Anabela
Published: June 2021

La tutoría es una tarea intrínseca a la función del profesorado en todos los niveles educativos. La orientación y la acción tutorial no deben darse como procesos puntuales enfocados a la resolución de problemas cuando estos sucedan, sino que debe formar parte de una cadena de acciones secuenciales y programados: buscan la formación integral de la persona sin importar su origen ni características personales y dan respuesta al principio de atención a la diversidad; son en gran medida acciones colaborativas que tienen de manera prioritaria un carácter preventivo y que deben estar abiertas a los cambios sociales y de cualquier otro tipo que afecten a las personas de las que el tutor es responsable. Para ello se deben utilizan los recursos especializados disponibles, de manera especial las TIC para personalizar los procesos y adaptarlos a los contextos (Pantoja Vallejo, 2013).  En esta investigación hemos analizado, cómo se desarrolla la tutoría en Educación Infantil en dos contextos diferentes, cómo son España (en la provincia de Jaén) y en Portugal (en la zona de Coimbra) y proponemos la optimización de la relación familia-escuela con la ayuda de herramientas TIC, como por ejemplo el Blog de aula.

This paper presents the generalization of the method of nonlinear code multiplexing of a binary group sequence is considered for the r – phase group sequences. A transition to a complex space, as well as using definite integrals, and conversion of the Cartesian chart while turning at a set angle are used to form the r – phase group sequence with a constant power from the multiphase summary group sequence, which consist of the sum of the r – phase information orthogonal sequences. As a result, the multiphase summary group sequences are mapped to the r-phase group sequences with constant power, which contain the information orthogonal r-phase sequences which are a part of these summary group sequences. Analytical expressions of the r – phase group sequences with constant power are obtained for even values of r. If the r is 4 the final formulas of group sequences with the constant power at the odd quantity of the information orthogonal sequences in the summary group sequences is obtained. The method of nonlinear code multiplexing of a multiphase group sequence considered in this paper, can be applied to increase capacity of communication channels with nonlinear code multiplexing.

Methods for increasing the efficiency of electromagnetic field shapers based on powerful microwave generators in case of electromagnetic defeat to a group of radio-electronic means distributed on the earth is surface have been determined. As an indicator of efficiency the radius of the zone of electromagnetic defeat of the most resistant radio-electronic mean was chosen. The limitations of the maximum power of the generator due to the finite energy of the power supply and (or) the electrical strength of the air in the radiating antenna are taken into account. It was found that the main methods to improve the efficiency of the electromagnetic field formers are the choice of the radiation parameters of the generator and the directivity characteristics of the radiating antenna. The optimal modes of operation of a microwave generator with a limited energy the power source have been determined. A comparison is made of the efficiency of shapers with different types of radiating antennas. It is shown that antennas with narrow toroidal radiation patterns are the most preferable for solving the problem under consideration.

If debtor as Fiduciary giver to be insolvent, so the creditor is entitled to have the fiduciary mentioned. For repayment of the debtor and the creditor in this case is called the right separatists.  There are many direct execution in banking practice about the object credit that are not perfect bound of guarantees or not through the insurance agency. Execution is doing by creditors, which debtor accompanied or not, or the object credit guarantees owner. Execution is done by regular sales or through creditor takeover.  Protection of creditors interest doing by giving legal aspects of registration precedes rights while providing executorial title for the fiduciary receivers benefit, on the other hand, the registration arrangements for certain objects that are not listed cause haziness opportunities of law implementation if it isnot done by carefully and clearly. To protect creditors interests, at the time of the debtor defaults, so that creditors as apreferential rights receiver in debt collection and as legal evidence, so warehouse receipts guarantee that the debtor should be given the imposition of bail.Key: Execution, Fiduciary, Creditors, Debtors

ABSTRACTIndonesia is known to have a good resource potential. Nevertheless, it has turned out it is not enough to attract investors. All that should be coupled with the ease of the procedure, the availability of law and good services to investors. This study attempted to correlate between the government's policies of home ownership for foreign with efforts to increase investment. It is expected to be answered on how the residential home ownership for foreigners in Indonesia? and how the concept of home ownership for foreigners in order to accelerate the increase in investment in Indonesia ?. using scientific principles the results of this study explained that the application of positive law pertaining to houses and buildings have ignored the principle of horizontal separation adopted in BAL and customary law, in practice the ownership of homes and buildings tend to use the principle of sticking always attach rights to land with the house or building that is on it, this has resulted in WNA difficult to get home because the houses built over the right to use is limited. To overcome this problem needs to be realized registration of houses and buildings by awarding certificate proof of right to a home or building or property that can be transferred, charged to a right of material, to realize the ideals Article 8 UUBG by Presidential Decree as mandated in Article 12 paragraph 4 of the Indonesian Government Regulation No. 36 Year 2005 concerning the Implementing Regulations of Law BG. Thus the application of the principle of horizontal separation adopted in BAL and customary law, in practice the ownership of homes and buildings will allow foreigners have a house to attract foreign investment to invest in Indonesia. Finally with the ease is expected to have an impact on increased investment in Indonesia until this is less good, especially when compared with neighboring countries.

Environmental Awareness in Terms of Public Health: Corporate Responsibilities
Authors: ELCİL Şifa
Published: June 2021

Environmental issues are basically caused by limitless consumption of the environment by people to gain more together with the increasing population in the world as well as valuing their individual interests above the common interests and values of the society. As a result, the ecological balance is spoiled, environmental issues take on a global dimension. Many researches are conducted about environmental issues today and studies on this are encouraged. While some disciplines concentrate on environmental issues and continue their researches, emphasis is made increasingly on the interaction between human and environment in social life, and it is seen that sensitivity is increasing among enterprises in this matter. Environmental activities have rapidly got stronger and gained acceleration with the support of various national organizations. Such indicators draw and social responsibility areas of organizations in the general manner. Therefore, minimizing the environmental hazards became the most important factor to improve the reputation and image of corporations in the public opinion in addition to provide competition advantage to corporations. The aim of the study is to address environmental problems that threaten public health directly and in multiple ways; to take effective measures on environmental pollution at institutional level and to demonstrate the importance of implementation. As a result of the study, the redesign of policies that contain solutions to environmental problems that have become a global problem today; it is emphasized that international institutions should take a more active role and the importance of cooperation.

Authors: Anderson RaeAnn Elizabeth , Garcia Monica A. , Delahanty Douglas L.
Published: June 2021

Objective: The present study documented, compared, and contrasted the test-retest reliabilities of the victimization and perpetration forms of a Tactic-first Sexual Experiences Survey (T-SESs) and the Post-Refusal Sexual Persistence Scale (PRSPSs).Methods: 243 Mechanical Turk workers (116 women, 124 men) completed four questionnaires in a randomized order via an anonymous web survey at Time 1 and approximately one week later at Time 2.Results: There were consistent gender differences in test-retest estimates. When assessing a history of victimization in women, both the T-SES and the PRSPS demonstrated evidence of minimal to good reliability (κ > .61, ICC = .86-92) while for men the PRSPS (κ = .64) was more consistent than the T-SES (κ = .59). When assessing a history of perpetration, there were fewer gender differences although post-hoc analyses suggest potential gender differences in assessing substance use facilitated perpetra-tion (κ .48-.83) but were limited by few cases. Continuous scoring approaches were the most reliable, dichotomous scores were mostly reliable, and categorical scores generally did not meet minimal ac-ceptable standards. For the rape victimization acknowledgment items, we found strong evidence of reliability for women (κ = .89, n = 31) and suggestive evidence of reliability for men (n = 7). There were few differences in reliability between standard and extended versions of the questionnaires.Conclusions: All four questionnaires exhibited good evidence of one-week test-retest reliability when scored continuously. Evidence of reliability was strongest with the populations and constructs most well studied – victimization history among women and perpetration history among men.
Minimal mindfulness of the world as an active control for a full mindfulness of mental states intervention: A Registered Report and Pilot study
Authors: Lovell Max , Dienes Zoltan
Published: June 2021

Mindfulness is a continual renewal of non-elaborative attention on an object of focus, without clinging or aversion, and with equanimity. As this requires the capacity to monitor and control the extent to which one is on task, it is a metacognitive exercise. Mindfulness is especially metacognitive when directed towards mental states themselves, which is how the practice was conceived in the original Buddhist scriptures. Alternatively, mindfulness could be directed towards the world around oneself in a less metacognitive fashion. Notably, whilst mindfulness of the world is directed towards the referents of sensory states (e.g. “the sky is blue”), mindfulness of mental states includes a higher-order awareness of the experience of a sensory state as a mental state in and of itself (e.g. “I see the sky is blue”) – as a sensation.We aim to test the centrality of metacognition in mindfulness practice by contrasting a full Mindfulness of Mental States intervention against a minimal Mindfulness of the World intervention, to act as a potential active control for non-specific effects, alongside a Waitlist control. Survey measures of mindfulness directed at the world and mental states separately, mental health measures, and participant expectations for each of these outcomes, will be administered. Bayesian contrasts of the group by time interaction will be the primary analysis used to test, for the first time, the effects of mindfulness against a true active control (if it should turn out to be one). Pilot data presented in the first section below show some promising initial results. Between the Mental States and World focused conditions, evidence in the hypothesised direction was discovered on the Observe and Acting with Awareness facets of the 24-item FFMQ-sf (other facets were insensitive), on the PHQ-4 anxiety subscale, and on the RRS.
Conclusions about well-being being necessary but not sufficient for resilience may be unwarranted
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Melin Bo
Published: June 2021

After conducting necessary condition analysis (NCA), researchers have concluded that a certain, not too low, level of well-being is necessary but not sufficient for a high level of resilience. However, as acknowledged by the developers of the test, NCA only evaluates if the association between two variables is characterized by some unspecified type of non-randomness and not conditions of necessity. The present findings, based on re-analyses of data, indicate a significant necessity effect of resilience on overall well-being, which is not logically compatible with well-being being necessary but not sufficient for resilience. Analyses with an extended version of NCA suggest that the association between overall well-being and resilience is characterized by equal degrees of necessity and sufficiency.
The role of working memory capacity in evaluative judgments of liking and beauty
Authors: Che Jiajia , Sun Xiaolei , Skov Martin , Vartanian Oshin , Rossello Jaume , Nadal Marcos
Published: June 2021

Judgments of liking and beauty appear to be expressions of a common hedonic state, but they differ in how they engage cognitive processes. We hypothesized that beauty judgments place greater demands on limited executive resources than judgments of liking. We tested this hypothesis by asking two groups of participants to judge works of visual art for their beauty or liking while having to remember the location of 1, 3, or 5 dots in a 4 by 4 matrix. We also examined the effect of individual differences in working memory capacity. Our results show that holding information about the location of the dots in working memory delayed judgments of beauty but not of liking. Also, the greater participants’ working memory capacity, the faster they completed the working memory task when judging liking, but not when judging beauty. Our study provides evidence that judging beauty draws more on working memory resources than judging liking.
On the Boundary Problems in Diagnostic Classification Models
Authors: Yamaguchi Kazuhiro
Published: June 2021

In diagnostic classification models, parameter estimation sometimes provides estimates that stick to the boundaries of the parameter space, which is called the boundary problem and may lead to extreme values of standard errors. However, the relationship between the boundary problem and irregular standard errors has not been analytically explored. In addition, prior research has not shown how maximum-a-posteriori estimates avoid the boundary problem and affect the standard errors of estimates. To analyze these relationships, the expectation-maximization algorithm for maximum-a-posteriori estimates and a complete data Fisher information matrix are explicitly derived for a mixture formulation of saturated diagnostic classification models. Theoretical considerations show that the emptiness of attribute mastery patterns causes both the boundary problem and the inaccurate standard error estimates. Furthermore, unfortunate boundary problem without emptiness causes shorter standard errors. A simulation study shows that the maximum-a-posteriori method prevents boundary problems. Moreover, this method with monotonicity constraint estimation improves standard error estimates more than unconstrained maximum likelihood estimates do.
Learning conversational dependency: Children’s response using un in Japanese
Authors: Tatsumi Tomoko , Sala Giovanni
Published: June 2021

This study investigates how Japanese-speaking children learn interactional dependencies in conversations that determine the use of un, a token typically used as a positive response for yes-no questions, backchannel, and acknowledgement. We hypothesise that children learn to produce un appropriately by recognising different types of cues occurring in the immediately preceding turns. We built a set of generalised linear models on the longitudinal conversation data from seven children aged 1 to 5 years and their caregivers. Our models revealed that children not only increased their un production, but also learned to attend relevant cues in the preceding turns to understand when to respond by producing un. Children increasingly produced un when their interlocutors asked a yes-no question or signalled the continuation of their own speech. These results illustrate how children learn the probabilistic dependency between adjacent turns, and become able to participate in conversational interactions.
Patients’ experience of an ecological momentary intervention involving self-monitoring and personalized feedback for depression
Authors: Folkersma Wendy , Veerman Vera , Ornée Daan Alexander , Oldehinkel Albertine , Alma Manna , Bastiaansen Jojanneke A.
Published: June 2021

Experts in clinical mental health research count on personalized approaches based on self-monitoring and self-management to improve treatment efficacy in psychiatry. Among other things, researchers expect that Ecological Momentary Interventions (EMI) based on self-monitoring and personalized feedback will reduce depressive symptoms. Clinical trial findings have, however, been conflicting. A recent trial (ZELF-i) investigated whether depression treatment might be enhanced by an add-on EMI with self-monitoring items and feedback focused on positive affect and activities (Do-module) or on negative affect and thinking patterns (Think-module). There was no statistical evidence that this EMI impacted clinical or functional outcomes beyond the effects of regular care, regardless of module content. In apparent contrast, 86% of the participants who completed the intervention indicated they would recommend it to others. In the present study, we used in-depth interviews (n = 20) to better understand the EMI’s personal and clinical benefits and downsides. A thematic analysis of the interviews generated six areas of impact with various subthemes. In line with the trial results, few participants reported behavioral changes or symptom improvement over time; the self-assessments mainly amplified momentary mood, in either direction. The most often mentioned benefits were an increase in self-awareness, insight, and self-management (e.g., a stronger sense of control over complaints). Consistently, these domains received the highest ratings in our evaluation questionnaire (n = 89). Furthermore, the EMI instilled a routine into the days of individuals without regular jobs or other activities. Participants reported few downsides. The experiences were rather similar between the two modules. This study suggests that EMI might contribute to health by helping individuals deal with their symptoms, rather than reducing them. Measures on self-awareness, insight, and self-management should be more emphatically involved in future EMI research.

Published: June 2021

Stock market is one of the fields where the randomness is prominent factor to be considered. Although many stochastic process deals which the randomness found in nature through the interdisciplinary subject like Econophysics, many of them exhibits cumbersome trends. So, Geometric Brownian motion (GBM) is used to analyze the market scenario of Nepal on the basis of the parameter; NEPSE Index along with the prediction of indices through python programming platform. Python simulation was carried out to check the consistency by implying it to the stable market timeline 2003/2004. And after the verification of the model proposed in the stable market year, the model (GBM) is employed to the unstable timeline; pandemic situation by COVID-19 in 2020. Mapping of Nepal stock market through GBM was found to be consistent with the standard forecasting accuracy making GBM one of the flexible and consistent to predict stock market scenario of Nepal accounting the random nature.

This study has been performed to understand the relationship between sunspot numbers (SSN) with climatology related parameters like temperature and rainfall from 1901 to 2016. The spectral characteristics of sunspot numbers, temperature and rainfall have been observed using continuous wavelet transform. Cross-correlation analyses were also performed to find any relation among temperature, rainfall, and sunspot numbers. The 9–11 year periodicity of sunspot numbers confirmed by wavelet transform in annual scale. The periodicity of high-frequency signals is identified between 4 to 11 years whereas the low frequencies signal is found throughout the periods of observation for temperature. Similarly, it is clear that there is more concentration of power between 8–16 years for rainfall. Cross-correlation analysis shows that the sunspot numbers is highly correlated with rainfall and temperature (correlation coefficient ~ 0.8054). The time lag relationship resulted in the almost simultaneous linear relationship between the temperature, rainfall, and the SSN tendency. The development of convective motions over the subtropics might be affected by the time rate of change of SSN combined with the surface temperature changes of diverse time scales. The convective motions were mostly controlled by the available amount of water vapor and the stability of the atmosphere that had a strong connection with the heat capacity of the concerned region. To produce more authentic findings for policy implications, further comprehensive and appropriate research can be undertaken and implemented in this very important field.

Published: June 2021

A sudden application of sources results in time-varying currents and voltages in the circuit known as transients. This phenomenon occurs frequently during switching. A simple circuit constituting a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor is termed an RLC circuit. It may be in parallel or series configuration or both. Different values of damping factors determine the different nature of the transient response. We applied different numerical solution methods such as explicit (forward) Euler method, third-order Runge-Kutta (RK3) method, and Butcher's fifth-order Runge-Kutta (BRK5) method to approximate the solution of second-order differential equation with initial value problem (IVP). We thoroughly compared the numerical solutions obtained by these methods with the necessary visualization and analysis of error. We also examined the superiority of these methods over one another and the appropriateness of numerical methods for different damping conditions is explored. With high accuracy of the approximation and thorough analysis of the observation, we found Butcher's fifth-order Runge-Kutta (BRK5) method to be the best numerical technique. Regarding the different values of damping factors, we considered the further possibility of discussion and analysis of this iterative method.
A rare case of lateral pontine syndrome-Marie Foix syndrome
Authors: Regmi Pradeep Raj , Amatya Isha
Published: June 2021

Lateral pontine syndrome or Marie Foix Alajouanine syndrome refers to the brainstem stroke syndrome involving lateral pons due to the infarction in the distribution of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery. It involves the lateral inferior part of the pons, middle cerebellar peduncle, and floccular region. Computed Tomography (CT) is less sensitive in brainstem infarction than  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). With the introduction of MRI, it is possible to precisely locate the brainstem infarcts. We present a case with a typical clinical picture of brainstem stroke with radiological findings consistent with the lateral pontine syndrome. Proper correlation with the clinical picture and radiological findings is important for the diagnosis of brainstem infarctions.
IMPLEMENTASI TEKNOLOGI PENGOLAHAN SAMPAH PLASTIK, KARET, DAN STYROFOAM SEBAGAI ENERGI ALTERNATIF

Published: June 2021

Household waste, especially plastic, styrofoam and used tires, is a problem for the community because it reduces the quality of the environment. In addition, another problem faced by the community is the increase in household expenditure from consuming fuel for cooking. The community service team tries to overcome both of these problems by implementing waste-to-fuel processing technology. Community service activities include training, mentoring, and providing facilities for processing waste into environmentally friendly fuel. The activity was carried out at the Surolaras Waste Bank, Yogyakarta City. The benefits that are felt are reduced waste, fuel products that can be used for household needs, reduced household expenses, and a well-preserved natural environment.
Diversidad de mediaciones entre distintas
bibliotecas ciudadanas infantiles
Authors: Huerta Morales María Guadalupe , Ramos García Daniel
Published: June 2021

Este artículo muestra los resultados de una investigación etnográfica que asume una perspectiva socioantropológica de literacidad y abona a la discusión del concepto de bibliotecas a partir del análisis de casos empíricos específicos. El objetivo es definir, caracterizar y analizar la manera en que siete bibliotecas ciudadanas infantiles centran su labor en la mediación de lectura entre niñas y niños. Estos espacios lectores trabajan en el estado de Puebla y son impulsados por la ciudadanía, que considera sus propias necesidades. Entre los hallazgos se tiene que el centro de las bibliotecas no son los libros, sino los lectores, y no existe solo una mediación lectora, sino mediaciones interculturales que dependen del contexto.
Religious Orientation, Academic Stress and Religious Coping among First Year Undergraduate Students
Authors: Osman Afaf , Ahmed Iman Osman Mukhtar
Published: June 2021

The study aimed to assess the prevalence of religious orientation, academic stress, and the use religion as a means to cope with academic stress among first-year undergraduates. The sample consisted of 321 first year students from five faculties of a religiously oriented public university in Malaysia. The data were collected using three separated instruments: a Religious Coping Questionnaire, an Academic Stress Scale, and an Orientation Scale. Frequency analysis was used to examine the prevalence of stress, and religious orientation, while Pearson moment correlation was used to analyze the relationship among the three main constructs: religious coping, religious orientation and academic stress. The analysis ran an independent sample t-test to check for gender-differences in academic stress, religious coping and academic stress. The results showed high incidences of the religious orientation and religious coping among the sample of undergraduates, but no significant gender differences. The study substantiated that one of the means by which the first year students reduced their academic stress is through religious coping and religious orientation.

Background: Cancer represents a major risk factor for COVID-19 poor outcomes. During the crucial phase
of the pandemic, we launched a home care project, called DomOnCOVID, aiming to provide care to patients
in their own homes, enabling to keep immunocompromised individuals away from health care facilities,
decrease hospital use, and strengthen hospital capacity for subjects with COVID-19 and other conditions.
This paper describes this intervention in terms of feasibility and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This is a descriptive study of cancer patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 infection
assisted at home in the Italian Province of Cremona during the pandemic’s first peak. We devised an
organizational home care system which included a medical and nursing team equipped with a car for home
visits, and a nurse manager who screened patient calls requesting inclusion in the project. The team
administered oral drugs at home (chemotherapy, TKis, etc.) and was equipped with all necessary tools to
conduct examinations, check vital signs, take blood samples, and nasopharyngeal swabs for COVID-19
testing.
Results: From March 23rd to May 15th 2020, 71 cancer patients were assisted at home (181 visits, mean
2.5, SD 1.6 range 1-7). All had symptoms that could be traced back to COVID infection, but only 26/71
(37%) were found to be COVID+; 19/26 (73%) had mild symptoms, while 7 with severe symptoms were
hospitalized and 2 died for COVID-19. The remaining patients recovered. 43/71 (60%) received at home
oral or subcutaneous drugs and no particular problems or toxicity were observed. 16/28 (57%) of individuals
living with COVID+ patients were found to be COVID+, while none of the non-cohabiting were COVID+.
Conclusion: Delivery of cancer care at home is feasible and may be particularly useful not only during
health crises but also after the epidemic in order to reduce hospital access, patient and care-giver travel and
improve their quality of life. Further implementation studies on home-based care in oncology are warranted.
