Using a New Model of Electronic Health Record Training to Reduce Physician Burnout: A Plan for Action (Preprint)
Authors: Mohan Vishnu , Garrison Cort , Gold Jeffrey A
Published: September 2021

UNSTRUCTURED

Physician burnout in the United States has been growing at an alarming rate, and health care organizations are beginning to invest significant resources in combating this phenomenon. Although the causes for burnout are multifactorial, a key issue that affects physicians is that they spend a significant proportion of their time interacting with their electronic health record (EHR) system, primarily because of the need to sift through increasing amounts of patient data, coupled with a significant documentation burden. This has led to physicians spending increasing amounts of time with the EHR outside working hours trying to catch up on paperwork (“pajama time”), which is a factor linked to burnout. In this paper, we propose an innovative model of EHR training using high-fidelity EHR simulations designed to facilitate efficient optimization of EHR use by clinicians and emphasize the importance of both lifelong learning and physician well-being.

Authors: Zong Hui , Hu Binyang , Han Yang , Li Zuofeng , Zhang Xiaoyan
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Various instruments for patient screening and diagnosis have been developed for and applied in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

OBJECTIVE

This study comprehensively investigates the prevalence and temporal trends of the most widely used instruments in PTSD-related studies.

METHODS

A total of 1345 files of registered clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov and 9422 abstracts from the PubMed database from 2005 to 2020 were downloaded for this study. The instruments applied in clinical trials were manually annotated, and instruments in abstracts were recognized using exact string matching. The prevalence score of an instrument in a certain period was calculated as the number of studies divided by the number of instances of the instrument. By calculating the yearly prevalence index of each instrument, we conducted a trends analysis and compared the trends in index change between instruments.

RESULTS

A total of 4178 instrument synonyms were annotated, which were mapped to 1423 unique instruments. In the 16 years from 2005 to 2020, only 10 instruments were used more than once per year; the 4 most used instruments were the PTSD Checklist, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Disorder Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire, and the Beck Depression Inventory. There were 18 instruments whose yearly prevalence index score exceeded 0.1 at least once during the 16 years. The changes in trends and time points of partial instruments in clinical trials and PubMed abstracts were highly consistent. The average time duration of a PTSD-related trial was 1495.5 days or approximately 4 years from submission to ClinicalTrial.gov to publication in a journal.

CONCLUSIONS

The application of widely accepted and appropriate instruments can help improve the reliability of research results in PTSD-related clinical studies. With extensive text data obtained from real clinical trials and published articles, we investigated and compared the usage of instruments in the PTSD research community.

Authors: Cheku Cheku , Wangdi Nidup
Published: September 2021

This study aims to determine the reasons for stress among teachers of primary schools in Tsirang Dzongkhag in Bhutan. The study sought to find out how work-related stress could affect the productivity of teachers of Tsirang Dzongkhag in the dispensation of quality education. The research included both quantitative and qualitative methods. The target population was a hundred and ten (110) teachers from the twelve (12) public schools in Tsirang Dzongkhag. However, a sample of six (6) teachers was selected using random sampling for the qualitative data using Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data was gathered from both primary and secondary sources, and descriptive statistics were used to analyse it. The researchers correlated the variables using the Scientific Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) for quantitative data and MAXQAD for qualitative data. The results of the analysis were presented using frequency tables, bar graphs, and pie charts. The study produced a research report on the primary elements that cause stress among teachers in Tsirang Dzongkhag and highlight gaps that need to be filled by other researchers. This study found that the most common source of occupational stress for teachers was workload, followed by student misbehaviour and frequent policy and program changes. Respondents also proposed reducing workload by maintaining a teacher-student ratio of 1:24, minimising teacher roles and responsibilities with appropriate teaching staff, review of SPMS, IWP, BPST, and leadership commitment to employee-related issues to relieve stress.

Authors: Arévalo-Venegas C.E. , Castiblanco-López N.
Published: September 2021

Introducción: Los procesos de implementación en el acompañamiento de las parturientas en instituciones colombianas aún son deficientes y carecen de soporte sólido en teorías de enfermería; sin embargo, a medida que avanza el mundo, los nuevos padres buscan involucrarse en el nacimiento de su hijo(a).

Objetivo: Comprender la experiencia de los padres que vivenciaron el nacimiento de su hijo(a) en una institución de salud en Bogotá, Colombia entre julio 2018 y marzo 2019.

Método: Estudio cualitativo fenomenológico interpretativo que integró la Teoría de enfermería de desarrollo humano propuesto por Rosemarie Rizzo Parse. La información se recolectó mediante entrevistas realizadas a ocho padres con observación no participante y participante, diarios de campo y llamadas telefónicas.

Resultados: La experiencia de los padres se consolidó en tres temas titulados: el parto de los padres, ahí estamos los tres y enfermería, un soporte excelente.

Discusión: Se observa una estructura nutrida de sentimientos, sensaciones, actitudes y valores de los padres, la cual es esencial para vivenciar la experiencia de la forma descrita.

Conclusión: Los padres atravesaron el proceso de desarrollo humano, iniciaron por la estructuración del significado, es decir, el parto fue tan importante como su propia vida, pasando por la configuración de sus pautas rítmicas referidas a que eligieron estar presentes y, finalmente, co-trascendieron hacia la paternidad deseada. Los resultados guían el cuidado de enfermería de los padres que experimentan el nacimiento de sus hijos/as, basada en una presencia real. Además, evidencian la importancia de fortalecer políticas, planes y guías de enfermería.

Las sociedades de convivencia en Campeche. Reconocimiento de la diversidad o discriminación
Authors: Pérez Duarte y Noroña Alicia Elena
Published: September 2021

La decisión de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación sobre la acción de inconstitucionalidad promovida por la Comisión de Derechos Humanos de Campeche contra la reforma al Código Civil de Campeche que introdujo las sociedades de convivencia como parte de las instituciones de derecho de familia es el punto de partida para analizar esta figura y sus implicaciones tanto sociales como frente a la infancia. Se destaca el análisis de la igualad como principio de derechos humanos consagrado en la Constitución frente a prejuicios discriminatorios que todavía permean en la sociedad mexicana, sobre todo cuando se considera que está en riesgo la heteronormatividad como pilar constitutiva de la familia y se hace evidente la discriminación que sufren las personas cuya preferencia o identidad sexual no se enmarca en la heterosexualidad que afecta, entre otros derechos humanos, el derecho a fundar una familia.

Aborto no contexto do movimento feminista: comparando Brasil e Uruguai
Authors: Vasconcelos Joyce , Vieira Grasielle , Espinoza Fran
Published: September 2021

O presente artigo pretende realizar um estudo comparativo sobre o aborto no Brasil e no Uruguai, a partir da perspectiva do movimento feminista, sendo este entendido como um movimento social. Nesse sentido, a escolha dos países destacados para o estudo proposto guarda relação com a ideia de comparar a atuação do movimento feminista em ambos, para avaliar a consequência de tal atuação na posição que cada país adota quanto à permissividade legal e social do aborto. Os países eleitos para a compa-ração feita acabam se aproximando sob o ponto de vista das disputas territoriais que en-volveram seus respectivos colonizadores, o que viabiliza a pesquisa, pois embora o estudo comparativo se baseie, sobretudo, no estudo das diversidades, não se comparam duas situações absolutamente diferentes, nem inteiramente idênticas. A hipótese testada é a seguinte: o modo como o Brasil e o Uruguai encaram o aborto tem uma ligação direta com a diferença na atuação dos movimentos feministas dos dois países. O método eleito para a construção do artigo foi a pesquisa bibliográfica, uma vez que, a divisão do texto acaba dialogando com esse método, a partir do objetivo geral de compreender a evo-lução do que já foi publicado a respeito da permissividade do aborto, no contexto da atuação do movimento feminista no Brasil e no Uruguai. Nas considerações finais é reto-mada a proposta introdutória do artigo, chegando-se à conclusão de que a hipótese levan-tada é parcialmente verdadeira, tendo em vista que a dinâmica dos movimentos sociais normalmente atua com a resistência de contramovimentos, e, no caso específico dos paí-ses cotejados, a formação histórica deles e o grau de secularização de cada um influen-ciou fortemente no atendimento ou não da demanda feminista pela permissividade do aborto. Com isto, não necessariamente a diferença quanto à atuação do movimento fe-minista nos dois países é o que caracteriza o entendimento diametralmente oposto que eles adotam com relação à permissividade do aborto.

Authors: Ramírez García de León Xavier J.
Published: September 2021

El desarrollo de prácticamente cualquier tecnología conlleva presiones sobre el marco legal que evidencian, por lo general, las dificultades que presenta el derecho para avanzar al mismo ritmo. En algunos casos, estas presiones adquieren una relevancia significativa, si no por su visibilidad, sí por las consecuencias que una deficiente regulación podría generar. Este artículo analiza, desde la perspectiva de la Corte Penal Internacional, el supuesto problema que implicaría la introducción de sistemas de armas autónomas al campo de batalla, particularmente en lo relativo al requisito de mens rea para crímenes de guerra.

El Acuerdo de Paz para Colombia. Un singular mecanismo de consolidación de la paz
Authors: Díaz Galán Elena C.
Published: September 2021

El Acuerdo de Paz en Colombia tiene como principal objetivo acabar con el conflicto en el país y se presenta como un singular mecanismo de consolidación de la paz. Sobre este Acuerdo descansan todas las medidas que se han adoptado para asegurar la paz en Colombia. El papel de las organizaciones internacionales es bastante marginal y su labor queda vinculada a lo que se dispone en el Acuerdo de Paz. En todo caso, Naciones Unidas ha querido contribuir a la paz en el país, aunque casi todo el protagonismo en la consolidación de la paz corresponde al Estado colombiano. La tarea de la organización internacional no sólo es meramente complementaria, sino que además queda estrechamente ligada a las decisiones del Estado colombiano. El Acuerdo de Paz se concibe como un instrumento que regula los componentes que resultan necesarios para hacer efectiva la consolidación de la paz en Colombia.

Lectura y escritura como prácticas onlife: un estudio etnográfico digital entre universitarios
Authors: González Pérez Brenda Lorena , Luna Rizo Marisol , Gutiérrez Luis Alberto
Published: September 2021

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo general identificar los factores que determinan las prácticas de lectura y escritura de diez estudiantes activos de la Universidad de Guadalajara observados por siete semanas con una metodología de etnografía digital que constó de cinco instrumentos. La pertinencia del estudio radica en que estas prácticas han sido atravesadas por la digitalidad en las últimas décadas, resignificando sus usos y consolidando la permanencia de los eventos letrados en gran parte de los actos cotidianos por medio de los dispositivos. Los resultados invitan a reflexionar sobre la complejidad de la lectura y escritura como prácticas onlife –un campo en el que lo virtual y lo presencial se encuentran constantemente entretejidos–, donde Internet se convierte en una herramienta de acceso a la lectura, lo que conlleva a la práctica de la multiliteracidad en la construcción de sentido, individual y colaborativo, por parte de los jóvenes.
Simulation of Minichannel Liquid Based Thermoelectric Cooling System by Changing Dimension of Minichannel and Type of Heat Transfer Fluid
Authors: Khan Soheb Khan Sayeed
Published: September 2021

Abstract: In recent time, due to exponential growth in electronic devices there is significant increase in heat dissipating element like integrated circuits(IC), graphical 2Assistant Professor, processing units (GPU) and central processing units (CPU). If there is no proper arrangement for heat removal it can permanently damage whole system. There are several methods used for this, one of which is thermoelectric cooling which works on peltier effect, thermoelectric devices with proper cooling arrangement act like heat pump which removes heat from one side and provide it to another side. The drawback of this system is low efficiency. In this project CFD analysis is done for minichannels of different dimensions along with thermoelectric. Simulation is performed by changing parameters such as hydraulic diameter of minichannel, changing type of heat transfer fluid and mass flow rate of fluid. The study reveals that by optimizing these parameters performance of thermoelectric system can be improved. The aim of this study is to optimize these parameters in order to improve overall heat transfer coefficient and coefficient of performance of the system. Keywords: Thermoelectric cooling, Peltier effect, Minichannel, Overall heat transfer, CFD
Impact of SiC on The Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Banana Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites
Authors: Agarwal Mayank
Published: September 2021

Abstract: This work investigates the mechanical properties (Tensile Strength & Impact Strength) and thermal properties (Thermal conductivity & diffusivity) of a natural fiber composite that includes banana fiber as reinforcement in epoxy (LY 556) matrix as the base material with the addition of silicon carbide particles by 5% and 10% by weight. This Banana Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite (BFREC) prepared by hand lay-up technique. After curing for a sufficient period, samples taken out and tested. The results suggest that on increasing SiC wt% in the matrix, there is enhancement of its tensile strength, impact strength, and thermal conductivity. Bulk density also increases while thermal diffusivity decreases. Due to low density as compared to metals, improved tensile and impact strength and low elongation at break of banana fibers, BFREC composite with SiC have very good potential use in the various sectors. Keywords: Banana fiber, SiC, hand layup technique, mechanical characterization, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity

Published: September 2021

Abstract: Vehicle detection and counting is very much important for the purpose of upgrading and widening the road. The information obtained from the traffic monitoring can be used in planning the budget for road maintenance. The traffic monitoring can be done automatically or by detecting and counting the vehicles manually using human labors. In manual method of traffic monitoring the person records the data using tally sheet which may leads to the human errors and most of the automatic traffic census system used nowadays focuses on detecting and counting the vehicles by using devices called magnetic loop detectors. These devices are costly and once installed, cannot be removed. So, it is necessary to build the system that is capable of detecting and counting vehicles without involving persons for traffic monitoring and costlier devices to detect and count the vehicles. For that purpose in this work simple cameras are used for detection and counting of vehicles. Keywords: Detection, Counting, Background subtraction, Canny edge detection, Kalman filter.

Usage and Usefulness of Social Media in Everyday-Life Information Seeking Among International Students
Authors: Yu Mu , Mustafa Siti Ezaleila
Published: September 2021

In recent years, the number of students studying abroad has been increasing rapidly. However, adapting to life in different countries, particularly in Malaysia which is a multi-cultural country, is difficult and students are faced with a variety of challenges. As such, they may need more information for their cultural adaptation or daily life use from diverse channels or sources. By conducting focus group discussions, this study focuses on examining the use of social media and its usefulness in everyday-life information seeking (ELIS) among international students at the University of Malaya. Focus group discussions among graduate students suggested that social media ELIS centre around information about home and families, academic matters and news/current affairs. On the other hand, new/current affairs, self-improvement and information about friends for socialization emerged as key in their ELIS on social media. What is apparent, however, is that international students view the information acquired via social media is useful for the fulfilment of their everyday-life needs.

Published: September 2021

In Malaysia, the development of information and communication technology (ICT) has created an impact on children’s book in the publishing world. Subsequent to this development, local book publishers were challenged to produce reading material in interactive digital form for children. Recognizing the importance of ICT and the benefit brought to the society, the government has implemented both the National Creative Industry Policy (DIKN) and the Malaysian Education Development Plan (2013-2025). Under this policy, players in the broadcasting and publishing industry in Malaysia were encouraged to develop the country's creative industry in order to raise the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, how prepared are players in the bookkeeping industry to produce interactive digital books for children? This is because the number of publications until 2017 is still small. This article will analyze the publishing status of children's digital books produced by the local publishers. Additionally, this article aims to investigate the readiness of publishers to publish interactive digital books for children in Malaysia. The method used in this study is through the analysis of children’s book titles in digital format from the website. In addition, the study also interviewed the management of the publishing house. Results showed Malaysian book publishers sought to bring the organization's direction towards the publication of interactive digital books. However, a few were found to be reluctant to change. In conclusion, Malaysian publishers will do well with the support of all parties in order to strive for the publication of children's interactive digital books via the online platform.

Four underlying variables behind the influences of internet usage for health information seeking were recognized. The major findings of this study indicate that perceived usefulness was appropriate to act as the main predictor which empowering young adults to possess digital health sources from the web. Limitations are taken into consideration; future researchers are encouraged to expand study to bigger demographic group and acquire in-depth information using qualitative method on other underlying factors to better comprehend young adults’ attitude towards the use of technology communication for health support. This study is appropriate to act as guidance which ease for health provider to determine the strategies to come out with health care websites best targeting on young adults. Malaysia government could then address these barriers and generate alternatives to minimize or eliminate the barriers to increase the prevalence of health information seeking activity among young adults.
Is there Critical Thinking in Popular Comments? A Descriptive Examination through Content Analysis
Authors: Loo Daron Benjamin , Lagason Linda
Published: September 2021

This study provides a descriptive account of popular comments (n=57) extracted from four published news articles on an online news platform. This was done through a content analysis on the level of critical thinking found in readers’ comments deemed popular by other readers through the number of responses and likes. Comments from four news articles reporting on the Syrian conflict were analysed using the Newman, Webb, and Cochrane’s (1995) analytical protocol. Results showed that although there were clear indicators of critical thinking in the popular comments, specifically by providing justification and synthesizing comments with external materials. These indicators were of high frequency and common, perhaps due to the nature of the news items under analysis – which is concerned with an ongoing conflict that has political and social bearing on the readers. We conclude by suggesting future research to introduce relevant critical thinking indicators based on contextually-familiar news topics and a bigger data set.

Authors: Apuke Oberiri Destiny , Ayih Livinus Jesse
Published: September 2021

This study aimed at increasing our understanding of citizen journalism practice, with a focus on rural dwellers which has been less well studied. This study, which is anchored on democratic participant media theory took place at Ardo Kola, Taraba State in the north-eastern region of Nigeria. The data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews, among 40 rural dwellers. The findings confirmed acceptance and knowledge of citizen journalism among the rural dwellers, but its adoption and practice are still very minimal due to poverty, power failure, their attitude, religious upbringing, customs, high level of illiteracy, high internet subscription and slow speed. It was suggested that government should make efforts to set up good schools, create more job opportunities, sponsor the skill work of those who did not attend formal education, and improve power supply in the rural communities. Interestingly, it was found among many other things that citizen journalism provides an avenue for community dwellers to gather and disseminate messages with immediacy, assists in the checkmating of the excesses of government officials, and promotes a healthy lifestyle in community settings. Therefore, it is relevant to encourage citizen journalism practice in rural areas, and further studies could explore beyond the use of a single community, more issues confronting rural dwellers as regards the adoption and practice of citizen journalism in developing countries.
Adopting Online Internal Communication within Organisations: An Overview
Authors: Waititu Paul
Published: September 2021

Due to the rapid growth of digital technologies and the dynamics in the global business milieu, organisational communication has experienced complex changes as organisations become knowledge-based, in a bid to enhance their competitive advantage. Consequently, internal communication has metamorphosed to accommodate emerging online communication tools, platforms and linkages. In response to this, online internal communication is being engrained in the organisational culture and employees are now expected to adopt the same for their interactions. Certainly, the extent of online internal communication in the organisation determines the level of employees’ online interactions, their performance and productivity in this digital era. Consequently, effective adoption of online internal communication (OIC) tools enable organisations to operate more efficiently and successfully in the changing business environment. However, the efficiency of OIC depends how well these organisations are able to manage their employees’ online interactions for information and knowledge sharing and managing relationships. This article highlights the adoption of OIC in organisations and the influence of the new media technologies in enhancing internal communication in the Kenyan context.

Introducción: Se presenta el tema de la percepción del riesgo como un elemento pertinente en el ámbito laboral para la prevención de Accidentes de Trabajo y Enfermedad Laboral. Desarrollo: Existen factores y teorías relacionadas que tratan de abordar este tema y dar una explicación coherente con el actuar humano; se mencionan las características estructurales o institucionales, los aspectos individuales y los psicológicos. En lo estructural se destaca, la cultura organizacional hacia la seguridad, el cumplimiento, la confianza y el compromiso de las organizaciones hacia la seguridad de los trabajadores. En lo individual, se plantea que la presión ejercida por los compañeros en el sitio de trabajo, influye en cómo los trabajadores perciben y asumen el riesgo y en lo psicológico, el nivel de conocimiento del individuo sobre el riesgo, juega un papel muy importante, ya que las personas que tienen menos información sobre éstos en los sitios de trabajo son menos propensas a correr riesgos, mientras que quienes tienen un grado mayor de conocimiento tienen la posibilidad de correr más riesgos. Se debe agregar, que la tendencia hacia el optimismo es otro de los factores que inciden en la percepción del riesgo; muchos trabajadores creen que un accidente es menos probable que les ocurra a ellos que a otras personas y subestiman los riesgos de su actividad laboral.

La Hipercolesterolemia Familiar (HF) es un trastorno genético que provoca el aumento del colesterol en la sangre y un incremento importante de desarrollo de ateroesclerosis. Objetivo: establecer el estado de la investigación en el tema de hipercolesterolemia familiar, revisar los principales documentos desarrollados en relación con la temática y explorar los posibles vacíos de conocimiento que surjan de este ejercicio académico con respecto al diagnóstico. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión con indicadores bibliométricos desde artículos de la base de datos de Web of Science, para el análisis se utilizaron los programas libres VOSviewer y Bibliometrix aplicación de R. Adicionalmente se revisaron los textos más citados. Resultados: Un total de 1102 artículos fueron hallados mediante los criterios de inclusión (HF y diagnóstico). Los autores más citados fueron Watts, GF. de Australia con n=32 publicaciones y 1279 citas, seguido por Kastelein, JP. de Holanda con n=28 publicaciones y 1157 citas, y Hegele, RA. de Canadá con n=30 publicaciones y 1003 citas asociadas a sus publicaciones. Discusión: La revisión indica producción importante en diagnóstico de HF en estos últimos diez años y progresos en el diagnóstico; sigue habiendo vacíos del conocimiento relacionados con la implementación de las políticas públicas, la falta de conocimiento sobre los riesgos de la HF en todos el personal interviniente y el desarrollo de las pruebas más efectivas y económicas.
The efficacy of HA330-II column hemoadsorption in Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis combined with liver failure: a case report

BACKGROUND

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe and
potentially deadly condition associated with extensive inflammation and
immune activation. Cytokine adsorption may serve as a supportive
treatment that can stabilize organ function in affected patients by
reducing their circulating cytokines levels. To date, no descriptions of
clinical experiences associated with the use of HA330-II column
hemoadsorption for the treatment of HLH children have been published.

CASE SUMMARY

We describe a 11-year-old children with Epstein-Barr virus
(EBV)-associated HLH combined with liver failure. She underwent HA330-II
column hemoadsorption and chemotherapy, and developed a decreased
inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, and
interferon (IFN)-γ. The patient’ condition and laboratory
parameters gradually improved.

CONCLUSION

Hemoadsorption may play an important role in eliminating cytokines storm
in children with Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis combined with liver
failure and consequent multiple organ failure.

Sinc-Self-consistent method to solve a class of nonlinear eigenvalue differential equation
Authors: Aleomraninejad Seyed Mohammad Ali , Solaimani Mehdi
Published: September 2021

In this paper, we combine the sinc and self-consistent methods to solve
a class of non-linear eigenvalue differential equations. Some properties
of the self-consistent and sinc methods required for our subsequent
development are given and employed. Numerical examples are included to
demonstrate the validity and applicability of the introduced technique
and a comparison is made with the existing results. The method is easy
to implement and yields accurate results. We show that the
sinc-self-consistent method can solve the equations on an infinite
domain and produces the smallest eigenvalue with the most accuracy

The current teaching materials used by teachers are still very concerned where the teaching materials used are the same as student books and the teaching materials used by students and teachers are still general or national in nature which has not been integrated with local wisdom. This causes students to have difficulty understanding the material that affects learning outcomes. The purpose of this research is to create thematic teaching materials based on Riau's local wisdom. The type of research conducted is R&D with the ADDIE model. However, only 3 stages (analyze, Design, and Development) were carried out. The subjects of this study were 6 experts, consisting of 2 material experts, 2 linguists, and 2 design experts, and fourth-grade elementary school students. Data collection methods used are interviews and validation sheets. The analysis carried out is a qualitative and quantitative analysis of interview data and validation sheets. The results of the study stated that thematic teaching materials based on Riau's local wisdom were feasible from the aspect of material, language, and design with an average score of 89.33% with very valid categories. So, thematic teaching materials based on Riau local wisdom are feasible to use.
