The REVITALIZATION OF RELIGIOUS MODERATION TO REALIZE THE CHARACTER OF MUSLIM UMMATAN WASATHAN IN THE ERA OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Authors: Royan Raehan
Published: July 2022

This article aims to discuss the revitalization of religious moderation in realizing the Muslim character of the ummatan wasathan in the era of digital transformation. This religious moderation itself is an important basis for bringing people to a moderate understanding perspective, not radicalism and still upholding Islamic values ​​even though they have a free way of thinking. This study is qualitative research where the analysis of this phenomenon is taken from reference sources of news, articles, reports and documents using the concept of Ummatan Wasathan M.Quraish Shihab.

Not infrequently the digital world provides studies that are propaganda in nature so that it is easily used by several individuals to cultivate identity politics which causes the fading of religious authority, the spread of individualism and the strengthening of tribalism compared to pluralism. So the results of this analysis indicate that increasing religious moderation through digital space needs to be done and is very relevant in the digital era of transformation as a counterweight to the large flow of information on digital platforms, to stem religious framing that is radicalism and other religious issues, which will then shape the character of muslims ummatan wasathan through religious revitalization in the digital era.

Sustainable Market Environment and Consumer Confidence in Food Safety in China After COVID-19: Urban Consumer Perspectives
Authors: Abbas Hasnain , Ullah Hafeez , Gong Xi , Jiang Mengyin , Faiz Narmeen , Zhao Lindu
Published: July 2022

Previously, several food safety incidents have lowered Chinese consumer confidence regarding the purchase of meat and domestically-produced infant formulas (DIF). Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic was caused by a food safety issue, and it is, therefore, important to investigate sustainable consumer confidence and its influence on consumption behavior by first estimating consumer confidence in meat and DIF products. The purpose of this study is thus to estimate the sustainable market environment and Chinese consumer confidence behavior post-COVID-19 regarding the purchase of meat and DIF products by applying a choice experiment. An online survey was conducted with 704 consumers residing in Nanjing. The survey obtained information on the features of meat and DIF products that affected consumer purchase consideration and determined the perceived estimated value of the product (price 15.24%, quality certification 31.57%, organic 23.69%, traceability 18.51%). These findings provide insight into consumer perceived premium pay behavior concerning the value estimation of product features according to the market environment (price 191.6 CNY, quality certification 285.3 CNY, organic product 189.1 CNY, and traceability 143.7 CNY). Chinese consumers’ low confidence in the safety of meat and DIF products appears less sustainable. Quality certification is the product feature that is most valued, followed by organic origin and production-to-consumption traceability. Apart from these, price is seen as an indication of high quality by consumers with low confidence, which results in a positive image of DIF products. In addition, consumer preferences for production-to-consumption traceability are highly affected by consumer confidence.
Czytanie jako aktywność szkolnie skażona – rozwijanie czytelnictwa przez podnoszenie sprawności czytania
Authors: Karoń Janina
Published: July 2022

Czytelnictwo w Polsce nie jest najczęstszą formą spędzania wolnego czasu. Według badań Biblioteki Narodowej ponad połowa Polaków nie czyta w ogóle. Można się zastanawiać, jakie są tego przyczyny. Niektórzy wskazują na ceny książek, inni – na czasochłonność, z jaką wiąże się ich lektura. Młodzież zazwyczaj znajduje inne, bardziej dynamiczne, szybsze, głośniejsze rozrywki, takie jak telewizja, gry czy Internet. Jednak niektórzy pedagodzy uważają, że powodem, dla którego Polacy sięgają po książkę tak rzadko, jest to, że nie potrafią sprawnie czytać. A jeśli nie umieją robić tego sprawnie, robią to niechętnie, nie przynosi im to przyjemności, więc jest rozrywką niszową. Powstaje swoista reakcja łańcuchowa, a sposobem jej przełamania może być dawanie pozytywnego przykładu w tym zakresie przez dorosłych oraz umożliwienie dzieciom osiągnięcia komfortu czytania. Głośne czytanie podczas pierwszych lat nauki zaburza proces percepcji znaków graficznych i opóźnia dotarcie tych informacji do analizatorów mózgowych. Nowa podstawa programowa, w wyniku której nauka czytania zostaje wprowadzona w jeszcze późniejszym wieku niż dotychczas, z pewnością nie poprawi statystyk czytelniczych wśród dzieci i młodzieży. W artykule zaprezentowano proces czytania z perspektywy psychologii uczenia się, neurodydaktyki oraz treningu tej umiejętności, ponadto pod rozważenie poddane zostały zagrożenia z takich podejść płynące.

Authors: Matras-Mastalerz Wanda
Published: July 2022

Artykuł dotyczy badań naukowych na temat możliwości wykorzystania literatury w procesie wzmacniania rozwoju emocjonalnego, intelektualnego i społecznego dziecka. Czytanie jako podstawowy element procesu biblioterapeutycznego może prowadzić do istotnych zmian w psychicznym dojrzewaniu każdego młodego człowieka. Przyczynia się ono do wzbogacenia wyobraźni, kształtuje postawy, rozszerza słownictwo i wiedzę. Może stać się inspiracją do różnych form aktywności, np. dyskusji, dramy, recytacji, opowiadania, działalności plastycznej i muzycznej. Kształtowanie potrzeby i nawyku czytania jest warunkiem rozwoju krytycznego myślenia u dziecka, rozwija jego wyobraźnię, wrażliwość i empatię. Ponadto, ideą bajki terapeutycznej jest redukcja negatywnych odczuć, wyposażenie dziecka w mechanizmy radzenia sobie z sytuacją emocjonalnie trudną (przykładowo: odrzuceniem w grupie rówieśniczej), motywacja do pokonania problemu oraz wytrwałej pracy, wzmocnienie pozytywnych emocji.

Published: July 2022

This sequential, mixed methods study assessed economic growth and transportation infrastructure development in a suburban Texas boomtown, where population growth exceeded 100% over a 20-year-period. Researchers applied empowerment theory to investigate and compare how environmental justice (EJ) and non-EJ residents perceive the growth. Results from 200 surveys and four focus groups were analyzed and paired with GIS mapping. Findings confirmed incongruence between transportation infrastructure development and economic growth, suggesting a lack of intentional planning, with the consequence of reinforcing societal inequities. Findings underscore need for innovative and inclusive urban planning in the context of rapid growth.

Published: July 2022

Hypertensive patients deserve special attention, due to possible complications which may occur during invasive dental care. This manuscript has aimed at reviewing the literature regarding the following: a safe dental approach to hypertensive patients, local anesthetics indication, surgical risks, hypertensive crisis, drug interactions, and oral manifestations of antihypertensive drug use. The present study was developed by research in the following databases: Virtual Health Library (VHL) – Bireme, MEDLINE, PubMed, SciELO, and the Capes database Journals. For a safe approach to the hypertensive patient, some precautions must be taken and respected, as follows: adequate anamnesis is crucial to evaluate other associated systemic alterations (cardiovascular, diabetes, renal failure), measure blood pressure at the beginning, and, in case of longer procedures, monitor blood pressure during the intervention, minimize chair time for the sake of the patient's anxiety. Medication regarding stress reduction control can be used to prevent high blood pressure from emotional conditions as well as choosing the appropriate anesthetic. Solutions with vasoconstrictor lower concentration, respecting the dose, and following the principles of the anesthetic technique must be observed. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use should be avoided. These precautions will avoid serious iatrogenic events in addition to promoting and guaranteeing patient safety and quality care.

Published: July 2022

Indonesia still experiences the increasing of divorce rates. To address this issue, the government through the Ministry of Religious Affairs has carried out several strategic programs, including Bimbingan Perkawinan (Marriage Guidance). The study of this paper examines the influence of the program on family resilience in the provinces of Aceh and South Sumatra. It used the normative approach in sociological studies. Data were collected by means of interviews, document studies, and questionnaires. The results of the study by referring to the questionnaire and interview show that the program in Aceh and South Sumatra has been running well. However, it has not been able to create family resilience and the divorce rate still keeps increasing. It is expected that post-marriage counseling should also be conducted so that married couples can establish family resilience as aspired within the community and country.

Authors: Carrillo López Pedro José
Published: July 2022

En los centros educativos existe un deficiente uso del baile. En concreto del baile infantil tradicional. Por ello, en este artículo se lleva a cabo una ejemplificación de una unidad didáctica “Bailamos nuestra Isa” para el conocimiento y desarrollo de la Isa, un baile canario que constituye uno de los tres géneros más importantes del folclore musical de las Islas Canarias desde, aproximadamente, el año 1700. Esta unidad didáctica está adaptada a sexto nivel de primaria y planteada desde el área de Educación Física. En la misma, se realizan cinco sesiones vertebradas por el método natural evolutivo, método que tiene la intención de mejorar la comunicación del alumnado, así como la estructuración de su personalidad. Estas sesiones están integradas en la programación general anual y en sintonía con el proyecto educativo del centro. Esta propuesta didáctica tiene como finalidad ser un guía para el docente de Educación Física y que contribuya tanto al desarrollo de una de las manifestaciones culturales más importantes del pueblo canario como al desarrollo integral del alumnado.
La necesidad de formación reglada en Lectura Fácil. Una propuesta de asignatura para posgrado de Traducción e Interpretación. The need for regulated training on the Easy-to-Read methodology. A proposal for a postgraduate course in Translation and Interpreting
Authors: Castro Robaina Israel , García Domínguez María Jesús
Published: July 2022

La elaboración de entornos accesibles desde el punto de vista cognitivo es un eje legislativo e institucional básico desde comienzos del siglo XXI. La metodología de Lectura Fácil permite elaborar textos accesibles para todas aquellas personas que presenten algún tipo de problema de comprensión lectora, en especial para personas con discapacidad intelectual o del desarrollo. La divulgación de esta metodología y el desarrollo de textos normativos sobre el procedimiento de trasvase de un texto origen a otro texto accesible no han traído consigo, sin embargo, una formación reglada que permita abordar la tarea de adaptación textual con las mayores garantías posibles en España. Por ello, en este artículo presentamos una propuesta de asignatura inserta en un título de posgrado perteneciente a los estudios de Traducción e Interpretación, en los que se abordan competencias traductológicas que son necesarias también para la adaptación de textos con el método de Lectura Fácil. Esto se debe, como explicaremos en las líneas que siguen, a que consideramos que las competencias asociadas a este título son, asimismo, competencias necesarias para la formación de profesionales que aborden el proceso de adaptación de textos con el método de LF.

Published: July 2022

Integrar contenido y lengua en la educación superior o inglés como medio de enseñanza (Integrating Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE) o EMI (English Medium Instruction) en inglés) es un tema ampliamente estudiado en la actualidad. Existen algunos estudios sobre los procesos y las creencias de su enseñanza y aprendizaje (Autor, 2013, Jiménez-Muñoz & Lahuerta-Martínez, 2019) pero, hasta donde sabemos, ninguna investigación implica el uso de plataformas de educación online complementarias o Sistema de Gestión de Cursos. (SGC) (es decir, Moodle). Hoy en día, los docentes están combinando diferentes conceptos y términos en el aula, tratando tanto géneros digitales como tradicionales que han sido digitalizados y compartidos a través de diversos canales para llegar a su público potencial. El principal objetivo de este estudio es analizar cómo los docentes del lengua y contenido en carreras afines a la empresa utilizan Moodle. Como la investigación estaba en curso durante la crisis del Coronavirus, los resultados obtenidos se han visto condicionados de alguna manera. Nuestra hipótesis es que los docentes de lengua y contenido pueden no usar la plataforma de aprendizaje electrónico de la misma manera que lo harían si estuvieran enseñando en la L1 de los estudiantes (español/valenciano). Hemos analizado la plataforma Moodle de 5 asignaturas de titulaciones afines a la empresa (4 de contenido impartido en inglés y una asignatura de Inglés para Fines Específicos (IFE)), siguiendo nuestra propia taxonomía para clasificar los diferentes recursos y actividades de la plataforma, así como su finalidad y uso durante el curso. Mediante una triangulación con los profesores de las asignaturas, hemos observado cómo utilizan la plataforma Moodle teniendo en cuenta que estas asignaturas se imparten en inglés como idioma adicional. El análisis se ha complementado con entrevistas a los profesores.

Published: July 2022

Este estudio constituye una aproximación de corte traductológico a la terminología y la fraseología biosanitarias en el par de lenguas alemán-español, concretamente en el campo de la regulación de los medicamentos de uso humano. Para llevarlo a cabo se ha realizado una extracción terminológica a partir de dos géneros textuales como son la ficha técnica o resumen de las características del producto y el prospecto, empleando como documento base la plantilla QRD proporcionada por la Agencia Europea de Medicamentos (EMA) para la redacción de la información de productos de uso humano. Los equivalentes obtenidos se presentan en forma de glosario y se comentan sus características principales. Asimismo, se analizan fragmentos de la plantilla en ambos idiomas para apreciar en contexto las diferencias terminológicas, fraseológicas y sintácticas entre el texto alemán y español, así como entre ambos géneros textuales. Las conclusiones alcanzadas precisan las respectivas convenciones textuales de ambos idiomas y son de aplicación asimismo a la traducción de otros géneros textuales relacionados.

Published: July 2022

Las etiquetas de productos agroquímicos constituyen un género discursivo de gran circulación en los ámbitos profesionales y académicos relacionados con las Ciencias Agronómicas. Este trabajo presenta la descripción del género basándose en el análisis multinivel de 41 etiquetas en inglés y disponibles en línea. Del análisis se deriva la naturaleza compleja del género en sus diferentes niveles. Entre los hallazgos se puede remarcar la heterogeneidad de potenciales lectores del género y de los contextos de circulación, la preponderancia de la función prescriptiva del género sobre las funciones informativa y la de contacto, y la creciente estandarización de los textos para ajustarlos a normas internacionales. Asimismo, se observaron diferentes tipos de adecuaciones desde lo semántico y formal para hacer los textos más accesibles a los lectores. Con respecto a los recursos formales, se destacan, entre otros, el uso del tiempo presente del indicativo, el uso de la voz pasiva y de los verbos modales y la presencia de distintos recursos paratextuales que sustancian las funciones del género. Se desprende del estudio, la utilidad del marco de análisis usado y las implicancias pedagógicas de los hallazgos en cursos con orientación IFE.

Authors: Heinsch Bárbara
Published: July 2022

Der vorliegende Beitrag zielt auf den Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache an der Hochschule ab, fokussiert jedoch explizit Deutsch als Fachsprache, und dies im Zusammenhang mit Interkulturalität. Dabei soll aufgezeigt werden, dass sich die Möglichkeiten für Fach-DaF-Programme deutlich erhöhen, wenn man beide Bereiche neu denkt und kreativ zusammenbringt und in breiterem Maße das Angebot der digitalen Medien ausschöpft. Dazu soll auf Grund einer aus der Untersuchung der oben genannten Zielbegriffe hergeleiteten Definition ein theoretisches Kommunikations- und Handlungsmodell erstellt und diskutiert werden, auf das ein praktischer Lehransatz gründet, der mit einem Beispiel aus der Touristik vor dem Hintergrund kontrastierter pädagogischer Erfahrungen verdeutlicht wird. Aus den Ergebnissen wird der Schluss gezogen, dass der vorgeschlagene Lehransatz den teilhabenden Studierenden gezielt Instrumente zur Entwicklung einer interkulturellen fachsprachlichen Handlungskompetenz an die Hand gibt, die ihnen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt erhöhte Chancen bietet und außerdem darauf ausgerichtet ist, Kontakte zu verschiedenen sozialen Akteuren vorausschauend zu gestalten.
Do Interest Rate and Inflation Matter for Exchange Rate Fluctuation in Bangladesh? An ARDL Approach
Authors: Chowdhury Mamun
Published: July 2022

This research explores the effects of inflation and interest rate on the nominal exchange rate in Bangladesh using data from 1980 to 2021. The Augmented Dicky-Fuller (ADF) test is used to find the order of integration whereas the ARDL approach has been used to determine the causality and cointegration among the variables. The ARDL bounds testing approach revealed a stable and statistically significant long-run relationship between Interest Rate (IR), Inflation (INF) and Exchange Rate (ER). The long-run ARDL model advocates that an increase in the lending interest rate leads to a significant appreciation of Bangladeshi currency in terms of USD. At the same time, the inflation has a positive but insignificant impact on the exchange rate at 5% level of significance. In the short-run, the effects of the interest rate on the exchange rate are positive and significant but the inflationary effect on the exchange rate is not statistically significant. Hence, the study recommends an efficient management of interest rate and inflation in Bangladesh to keep balance in the exchange rate.

Published: July 2022

Mosquitoes are widespread arthropods that serve as vectors for a broad spectrum of viruses, many of which pose a substantial threat to humans. Conversely, some viruses may seemingly present with beneficial implications for the health of man whilst impinging on other domains of life, such as the fungi-infecting mycoviruses. This study is only the second one so far to describe the exceptionally scarcely identified Xanthi chryso-like virus (XCLV), member of the mycopathogenic Chrysoviridae family, in a new geographical area and a novel potential arthropod vector, the Culex pipiens mosquito. Interestingly, the XCLV was initially fortuitously detected by West Nile virus-specific primers directed at a conserved part of the NS5 gene, possibly indicative of a genetic resemblance and shared ancestry reflected in the NS5 evolutionary heritage. Detection and characterization of the virus and insect alike was done via PCR and Sanger sequencing. This investigation draws attention to our knowledge of viral pervasiveness – be it topographical or vectorial – and how humble it truly is. Additionally, we would propose that more attention be given to arthropod-borne viral pathogens that might prove advantageous to human health.
Non-Monotonic Dc Stark Shifts in the Rapidly Ionizing Orbitals of the Water Molecule

We extend a previously developed model for the Stark resonances of the water molecule. The method employs a partial-wave expansion of the single-particle orbitals using spherical harmonics. To find the resonance positions and decay rates, we use the exterior complex scaling approach which involves the analytic continuation of the radial variable into the complex plane and yields a non-hermitian Hamiltonian matrix. The real part of the eigenvalues provides the resonance positions (and thus the Stark shifts), while the imaginary parts $-\Gamma/2$ are related to the decay rates $\Gamma$, i.e., the full-widths at half-maximum of the Breit-Wigner resonances. We focus on the three outermost (valence) orbitals, as they are dominating the ionization process. We find that for forces directed along the three Cartesian co-ordinates, the fastest ionizing orbital always displays a non-monotonic Stark shift. For the case of fields along the molecular axis we show results as a function of the number of spherical harmonics included ($\ell_{\max}=3,4$). Comparison is made with total molecule resonance parameters from the literature obtained with Hartree-Fock and coupled cluster methods.

» Primary osteoporosis is the most common cause of sacral insufficiency fractures (SIFs). Therefore, a multidisciplinary team approach is necessary for treatment of the fracture and the underlying biologic pathology, as well as prevention of future fragility fractures.

» The presentation of SIFs typically includes lower back or buttock pain after a ground-level fall or without an identified trauma. Symptoms often have an insidious onset and are nonspecific; consequently, a delay in diagnosis and treatment is common. Clinicians need to have a high index of suspicion, particularly in high-risk patients.

» Postmenopausal women who are >55 years of age are the most common demographic affected by SIFs. Other risk factors include osteoporosis, history of a prior fragility fracture, local irradiation, long-term corticosteroid use, rheumatoid arthritis, metabolic bone disorders, vitamin D deficiency, pregnancy, history of prior multilevel spinal fusion, and malignancy.

» Typical imaging on computed tomography (CT) shows sclerosis of cancellous bone in the sacral ala, with or without a discrete fracture line or displacement. Magnetic resonance imaging is more sensitive than CT and shows hypointense signal on T1-weighted sequences and hyperintensity on T2-weighted or short tau inversion recovery sequences.

» The treatment of SIFs is dependent on the severity of symptoms, fracture displacement, and instability of the pelvis. Accepted treatments include nonoperative rehabilitation, sacroplasty, iliosacral screw fixation, transsacral bar or screw fixation, transiliac internal fixation, and lumbopelvic fixation.

Background: Single-sided deafness (SSD) often has functional, psychological, and social consequences. Interventions for adults with SSD include hearing aids and auditory implants. Benefits and harms of these interventions (outcome domains) are until now reported inconsistently in clinical trials. Inconsistency in reporting of outcome measures prevents meaningful comparisons or syntheses of trial results. The Core Rehabilitation Outcome Set for Single-Sided Deafness (CROSSSD) international initiative used structured communication techniques to achieve consensus among healthcare users and professionals working in the field of SSD. The product is a set of core outcome domains that experts agree are critically important to assess in all clinical trials of SSD interventions.Methods: A long list of candidate outcome domains compiled from a systematic review and published qualitative data, informed the content of a two-round online Delphi survey. Overall, 308 participants from 29 countries were enrolled. Of those, 233 participants completed both rounds of the survey and scored each outcome domain on a 9-point scale. The set of core outcome domains was finalised via a web-based consensus meeting with 12 participants. Votes involved all stakeholder groups, with an approximate 2:1 ratio of professionals to healthcare users participating in the Delphi survey, and a 1:1 ratio participating in the consensus meeting. Results: The first round of the survey listed 44 potential outcome domains, organised thematically. A further five outcome domains were included in Round 2 based on participant feedback. The structured voting at Round 2 identified 17 candidate outcome domains which were voted on at the consensus meeting. Consensus was reached for a core outcome domain set including three outcome domains: Spatial orientation, Group conversations in noisy social situations, and Impact on social situations. Seventy-seven percent of the remaining Delphi participants agreed with this core outcome domain set.Conclusions: Adoption of the internationally agreed core outcome domain set will promote consistent assessment and reporting of outcomes that are meaningful and important to all relevant stakeholders. This consistency will in turn enable comparison of outcomes reported across clinical trials comparing SSD interventions in adults and reduce research waste. Further research will determine how those outcome domains should best be measured.

Licofelone is a dual Cyclooxygenase 1,2 (COX1,2)/5-lipoxygenase) 5-LOX (inhibitor with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects with possible functions on Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is a chronic recurrent condition with no particular treatment. This study evaluates the anti-inflammatory effects of Licofelone on acetic acid-induced colitis in rats. Ten groups of male Wistar rats (n = 6) were used. Sham, control group, Licofelone at doses of 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg, L-NG-Nitro Arginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME) (10 mg/kg, i.p.), Aminoguanidine (AG) (100 mg/kg, i.p.), 30 min before using Licofelone (10 mg/kg). Also, three groups received L-NAME, aminoguanidine, or dexamethasone. Macroscopic, microscopic, and biochemical analyses (myeloperoxidase (MPO) and Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), superoxide dismutase (SOD), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)) were assessed in colon tissue. Licofelone at a dose of 10 mg/kg attenuated colitis, increased SOD activity, and significantly reduced colonic levels of inflammatory factors abovementioned and macroscopic and microscopic symptoms in the acetic acid-induced colitis model. Moreover, the concurrent use of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors with 10 mg/kg of Licofelone reversed the observed positive effects, demonstrating the function of nitric oxide in IBD pathogenesis and the probable mechanism for Licofelone in the healing process of induced colitis. A reduced level of inflammatory factors confirmed the anti-inflammatory activity of Licofelone as a dual COX1,2/5-LOX inhibitor. Furthermore, outcomes revealed the protective role of Licofelone in the treatment of experimental colitis and it is suggested to be used in the future in patients with IBD.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) represents a significant public health threat in India. Adherence to antitubercular therapy (ATT) is the key to reducing the burden of this infectious disease. Suboptimal adherence to ATT and lack of demonstrated feasibility of current strategies for monitoring ATT adherence highlights the need for alternative adherence monitoring systems.Methods: A quantitative survey was conducted to assess the acceptance of and willingness to use a digital pill system (DPS) as a tool for monitoring ATT adherence among stakeholders directly involved in the management of patients with TB in India. Participants reviewed a video explaining the DPS and completed a survey, which covered sociodemographics, degree of involvement with TB patients, initial impressions of the DPS, and perceived challenges for deploying the technology in India. Participants were also asked to interpret mock DPS adherence data.Results: The mean age was 34.3 (SD=7.3), and participants (N=50) were predominantly male (70%). The sample comprised internists (52%) and pulmonologists (30%), with a median of four years’ experience (IQR 3,6) in the management of TB patients. No participants had previously used a DPS, but some reported prior awareness of the technology (22%). Most reported that they would recommend use of a DPS to patients on ATT (76%), and that they would use a DPS in both the intensive and continuation phases of TB management (64%). The majority viewed the DPS (82%) as a useful alternative to directly observed therapy-short course (DOTS), particularly given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Participants reported that a DPS would be most effective in patients at risk of nonadherence (64%), as well as those with past nonadherence (64%). Perceived barriers to DPS implementation included lack of patient willingness (92%), cost (86%), and infrastructure constraints (66%). The majority of participants were able to accurately interpret patterns of adherence (80%), suboptimal adherence (90%), and frank nonadherence (82%) when provided with mock DPS data.Conclusions: DPS are viewed as an acceptable, feasible, and useful technology for monitoring ATT adherence by stakeholders directly involved in TB management. Future investigations should explore patient acceptance of DPS and pilot demonstration of the system in the TB context.
