Statistical Validation of Cardiovascular Digital Biomarkers Towards Monitoring the Cardiac Risk in COPD: A Lyfas Case Study
Authors: Chattopadhyay Subhagata , Das Rupam
Published: January 2022

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) is gaining popularity due to its pervasiveness. Lyfas is a smartphone-based optical biomarker instrument catering to mHealth. It captures the Pulse Rate Variability (PRV) and its associated digital biomarkers from the index finger capillary circulation using the principle of arterial photoplethysmography. PRV surrogates for the Cardiovascular Autonomic Modulation (CvAM) and provides a snapshot of psychophysiological homeostasis of the body. Objective: The paper investigates the roles of (a) physiological factors, e.g., Age, Duration of illness, Heart Rate (HR), Respiration Rate (RR), SpO2 level, and (b) popular digital biomarkers, such as SDNN, LF/HF, RMSSD, pNN50, SD1/SD2 to evaluate the cardiac risk. The paper hypothesizes that low FEV1, which is another physiological factor, plays a critical role in defining such risk. Method: A total of 50 males and females each, suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) took the Lyfas test after appropriate ethical measures. Data, thus collected by Lyfas had been statistically analyzed using histogram plots and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality check, Pearson's Correlations (PC) to measure the strength of associations, and linear regressions to test the goodness of fit of the model. Results: Positive PCs are noted between (a) RMSSD and SDNN ('very high'-females: 0.86 and males: 0.91), (b) pNN50 and RMSSD (PC: moderate 0.46), (c) pNN50 and SDNN (PC: moderate 0.44), (d) Duration of illness and Age ('high'-females: 0.71 and males: 0.77), and (e) Age and RR ('high'-females: 0.67, males: 0.53). Negative PC is noted between (a) LF/HF and FEV1 ('moderately high'-males 0.42) and (b) LF/HF and SpO2 ('moderately high'-males 0.30). Although the R2 values are not so encouraging (most are < 0.5), yet, the models are statistically significant (p-values 0.0336; CI 95%). Conclusion: The paper concludes that Lyfas may be used to predict the cardiac risk in COPD patients based on the LF/HF values correlated to SpO2 and FEV1 levels.
The effect of latent and error non-normality on corrections to the test statistic in structural equation modeling
Authors: Jobst Lisa J. , Auerswald Max , Moshagen Morten
Published: January 2022

In structural equation modeling, several corrections to the likelihood-ratio model test statistic have been developed to counter the effects of non-normal data. Previous robustness studies investigating the performance of these corrections typically induced non-normality in the indicator variables. However, non-normality in the indicators can originate from non-normal errors or non-normal latent factors. We conducted a Monte Carlo simulation to analyze the effect of non-normality in factors and errors on six different test statistics based on maximum likelihood estimation by evaluating the effect on empirical rejection rates and derived indices (RMSEA and CFI) for different degrees of non-normality and sample sizes. We considered the uncorrected likelihood-ratio model test statistic and the Satorra–Bentler scaled test statistic with Bartlett correction, as well as the mean and variance adjusted test statistic, a scale-shifted approach, a third moment-adjusted test statistic, and an approach drawing inferences from the relevant asymptotic chi-square mixture distribution. The results indicate that the values of the uncorrected test statistic—compared to values under normality—are associated with a severely inflated type I error rate when latent variables are non-normal, but virtually no differences occur when errors are non-normal. Although no general pattern regarding the source of non-normality for all analyzed measures of fit can be derived, the Satorra–Bentler scaled test statistic with Bartlett correction performed satisfactorily across conditions.
Civil liability of taxi-aggregation companies: Between contract and tort law
Authors: Markelova A. A.
Published: January 2022

Technical and information progress undoubtably have an inﬂuence on the trade market and the consumer service sector of the modern economy. The sphere of taxi companies is no exception. When a user downloads a taxi-aggregation company’s application and orders a taxi, using its information about a carrier, this causes uncertainty in the qualifcation of the legal relationship between aggregator, carrier, and consumer. This ambiguity becomes critical if non-performance of the contract causes injury or non-pecuniary loss to a passenger. In this case, a concurrence arises between contact and tort qualifcation of the claim against the carrier and/or aggregator. The essay examines approaches to the distribution of liability between the aggregator, the carrier, and other persons who could contribute to causing harm, from the point of view of contract and tort law.
THE FAMILIAL CONTEXT OF CHILDREN’S CREATIVITY: PARENTING STYLES AND THE CLIMATE FOR CREATIVITY IN PARENT–CHILD RELATIONSHIP
Authors: Jankowska Dorota Maria , Gralewski Jacek
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between dimensions of a constructive parenting style, (i.e. parental acceptance and autonomy granting) factors of the climate for creativity in parent–child relationships (encouragement to experience novelty and variety, encouragement of nonconformism, support of perseverance in creative efforts, and encouragement to fantasize), and parents’ visual mental imagery. 313 parents of children between 6 and 12 years of age participated in the study. The results indicated that (a) a constructive parenting style was positively related to three of four factors of the climate for creativity in the parent–child relationships, i.e. encouragement to experience novelty and variety, support of perseverance in creative efforts, and encouragement to fantasize in the parent–child relationship; (b) parents’ level of vividness of mental imagery was positively related with both parental acceptance of child and autonomy support as well as components of climate for creativity in parent–child relationship; (c) mothers scored significantly higher than fathers in exhibiting acceptance of a child; (d) parents’ gender played an important role in the relations between dimensions of constructive parenting style and factors of climate for creativity in parent–child relationships. Findings were discussed in terms of the implications for further research and theory development in the area of family influences on the development of children’s creativity.

Authors: Purimahua Dora Irene , Manik Marisa , Manurung Evanny Indah
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:. Nurses inevitably witness death in their professional practice. These experiences can trigger fear of a patient’s death, fear of their own death or fear of the dying process. A review of literature revealed the absence of studies on dying and feelings towards the dying process particularly fear of death among students in the Indonesian context. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study explored the levels of fear of death and the differences between students enrolled sophomore academic program and those in the professional program. METHODOLOGY: This was a quantitative comparative study that utilized a cross-sectional design. Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale was adapted to measure the fear of death among the respondents by using univariate analysis. Bivariate analysis was also utilized by applying the independent T-test to determine the significance of the difference in the data results. All 50 professional students were included in the study while simple random sampling was done to select 50 students enrolled in the academic program.   RESULTS: The level of fear of death among the sophomore students was moderate to high, while those in the professional program was moderate. Furthermore, the T-test revealed a p-value of 0.010 indicating a significant difference in the level of fear of death among sophomore academic program students compared to students in the professional program. CONCLUSION: There is a significant difference in the level of fear of death between sophomore nursing students in the academic program compared to those in the professional nursing program.

Authors: Bagiartana Kadek Dio Agus , Huriah Titih
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Balance disorders are the primary cause of falls, a significant health concern for the elderly. Tai Chi (TC) improves the balance and strength of the lower limb muscles that focus on centering the mind, bodywork, and breathing exercises.

AIM: A systematic review was conducted to search for evidence of the effects of Thai Chi in balancing and strengthening of lower extremities among the elderly in the community.

METHODS: According to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines, a systematic review was conducted. Databases included Science Direct, ProQuest, and PubMed, from 2015 to 2020, with research articles being original studies. The quality of research articles was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. Systematically analyses were used for results syntheses.

RESULTS: Six articles were included in this review. TC exercises effectively improve the balance and muscle strength of the lower limbs among the elderly in the community. TC has a beneficial effect on evaluation in the short (8 weeks) and long (12 weeks) term to prevent falls among the elderly in the community.

CONCLUSION: TC exercises are beneficial for improving balance and muscle strength of the lower limb among the elderly in the community with Selected TC, Traditional TC, and Modified Chen-style TC.
The Ameliorating Effects of MSCs in Controlling Treg-mediated B-Cell Depletion by Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase Induction in PBMC of SLE Patients
Authors: Prajoko Yan Wisnu , Putra Agung , Dirja Bayu Tirta , Muhar Adi Muradi , Amalina Nur Dina
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have potent immunosuppressive properties to control systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease by releasing several anti-inflammatory molecules, particularly indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO), and increasing regulatory T cells (Treg) to control innate and adaptive immune cells. However, how MSCs release IDO to modulate Treg in controlling B is poorly understood. Therefore, investigating IDO, Treg, and B cells following MSC administration in SLE is needed.
AIM: This study aimed to investigate the ameliorating effects of MSCs in controlling B cells mediated by an increase of IDO-induced Treg in PBMC of SLE patients.
METHODS: This study used a post-test control group design. MSCs were obtained from human umbilical cord blood and characterized according to their surface antigen expression and multilineage differentiation capacities. PBMCs isolated from SLE patients were divided into five groups: Sham (placebo group), control, and three treatment groups. The treatment groups were treated by coculturing MSCs to PBMCs with a ratio of 1:10, 1:25, and 1:40 for 72 h incubation. Treg and B-cell levels were analyzed by flow cytometry with cytometric bead array (CBA) while the IDO levels were determined by ELISA.
RESULTS: This study showed that the percentages of B cells decreased significantly in groups treated by dose-dependent MSCs, particularly in T1 and T2 groups followed by increased Treg cell percentages. These findings were aligned with the significant increase of the IDO levels.
CONCLUSIONS: MSCs regulated B cells through an increase of IDO-induced Treg in SLE patients’ PBMC.
Levels and Predictors of COVID-19-Related Anxiety in Older Adults
Authors: Ashour Lina Mahmoud
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Prolonged quarantine during the COVID-19 outbreak is a stressful factor. AIM: This study aims to analyze the psycho-emotional state of Jordan’s older population during the Covid-19 pandemic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study on 620 older adults (mean age, 66.4±5.3 years) was conducted in 2020 in Amman (Jordan). All respondents were asked to complete an online survey on coping strategies, a HUDS questionnaire, and a specially designed questionnaire. RESULTS: The dominant predictors of stress were uncertainty (62%) and a fear other family members getting ill (60%). Of all the respondents, 15% agreed with the necessity to prolong the quarantine period, 47% had a neutral attitude, and 38% exhibited a negative attitude. High levels of anxiety in older population were associated with the lower use of humor (H=11.498, p≤0.002). On the other hand, such respondents demonstrated the higher use of planning (H=6.227, p≤0.039), venting (H=11.087, p≤0.004), avoidance (H=7.457, p≤0.019), and active coping (H=6.043, p≤0.037). CONCLUSIONS: Most of Covid-19 cases are registered in healthcare institutions and for that reason, there is a need to provide psychiatric care to medical workers who do not have the necessary experience in this area. This may also require the state to promote psychiatric care training.

La première partie de cet article propose quelques apports d’auteurs (ou courants) ayant abordé la question de la servitude volontaire afin de nourrir notre réflexion. La seconde partie poursuivra le propos en le complétant à partir de l’examen et la recension d’un livre de Richard Rechtman sur la vie ordinaire des génocidaires . La troisième et dernière partie du texte se situera non plus du côté de ces derniers, mais de celui de ceux qui résistent. Il tentera d’exposer quelques hypothèses quant aux conditions qui seraient nécessaires à la mise en œuvre d’actes susceptibles d’avancer vers l’émancipation à partir des acquis d’un demi-siècle de recherches et d’interventions dans toutes sortes d’institutions par la sociopsychanalyse.
De la protestation logique du sujet
Authors: Sauret Marie-Jean
Published: January 2022

L’article reconstruit la logique dans laquelle s’inscrit la pandémie, du point de vue de ce que la psychanalyse enseigne de la structure du sujet, du lien social et de leur nouage par le symptôme. Sans le rapport constitutif de l’humain au langage, il est difficile de prendre acte de la mutation par l’avènement de la science moderne puis la domination de la technoscience, de la mutation du lien social avec l’irruption du discours capitaliste et la forme contemporaine du biopouvoir. Et difficile de saisir le lien entre l’apparition du prolétariat et la protestation logique du sujet exprimée dans le symptôme et telle qu’elle a conduit à l’invention de la psychanalyse pour l’accueillir. L’épisode sanitaire actuel révèle combien le discours capitaliste peaufine son agression contre cette résistance du sujet, mais combien nous pouvons compter sur elle pour mettre le capitalisme hors de soi. La psychanalyse est une réponse en acte qui permet au sujet de s’assurer de sa capacité d’acte et contribue à la théorie des conditions du changement social que l’époque appelle.

Cet article est composé de trois petits textes écrits séparément. Ils ont été rassemblés et traduits de l’arabe par Abdelaâli Laoukili. Le premier texte traite de la crise de la pandémie comme une crise « totale » qui a mis en difficulté l’ensemble des pays et questionné les individus, comme les groupes, le pouvoir politique comme le savoir scientifique. Le second texte examine la notion de « masque » dans ses différentes acceptations et interroge notre vécu de cette vie « masquée » pour se protéger les uns les (des) autres de la covid. Le troisième enfin traite de notre capacité à supporter la solitude que cette crise nous a imposée.
Malaise et malêtre dans la subjectivation. De l’effacement du sujet à sa suppléance dans l’intelligence artificielle
Authors: Tordo Frédéric
Published: January 2022

Afin d’envisager les processus psychiques qui sous-tendent l’expression clinique du malêtre, nous reviendrons tout d’abord sur l’organisation du Moi comme réflexive, par la création d’une division fondamentale (auto-empathie réflexive), ainsi que d’un appareil psychique virtuel, reflet plus ou moins conforme de l’appareil psychique dans la psyché même. Au contraire, la clinique contemporaine présente des patients qui ne rencontrent plus cette division interne, entraînant une incapacité à accéder à une position de sujet. Trois expressions cliniques sont présentées : l’effacement du sujet, qui intervient dans la plainte quasi pathognomonique « je suis perdu » (ou « je me sens perdu »), ainsi que son corollaire le vide dans le contre-transfert ; la recherche d’une figure du double, que le patient trouve chez son thérapeute, ou à l’aide de technologies utilisées comme prothèse psychique ; l’effacement de l’autre, envisagé comme un simple objet à consommer, ou à évacuer, comme dans la « sexualité liquide ». En temps de pandémie, un phénomène de transparence psychique expose l’individu à ce malêtre en lui offrant, paradoxalement, une possibilité de retour sur soi.
Pandémie, désordres et reconstruction
Authors: Tapia Claude
Published: January 2022

La Covid-19 a embrasé à divers degrés toutes les sociétés du monde, depuis le début de l’année 2020, et bien qu’aujourd’hui affaiblie elle n’a toujours pas disparu. La pandémie restera naturellement dans la mémoire collective comme événement majeur entraînant confinement sévère, mortalité croissante et délitement des liens sociaux… En outre, il faudrait citer, parmi les réactions individuelles ou collectives, les manifestations d’anxiété ou d’angoisse, les violences interindividuelles souvent intrafamiliales, les féminicides, les manifestations de racisme… Mais ces effets négatifs ne peuvent masquer des conduites de solidarité, d’entraide, et surtout des changements positifs notables dans le domaine de l’organisation du travail, de la gestion familiale du quotidien, de la création littéraire et artistique, enfin, dans différents domaines techniques. Diverses théories psychosociales, outre la psychanalyse, ont été sollicitées pour apporter un éclairage sur les phénomènes psychologiques, culturels et sociaux consécutifs à la crise pandémique. L’annonce de la fin prochaine de cette crise peut ouvrir des perspectives nouvelles de mobilisation et dévoiler des gisements d’énergie dont notre société a besoin pour réduire dysfonctionnements, inégalités socio-économiques criantes, disparités majeures dans le domaine de la consommation culturelle…
Les formes de socialisation à l’épreuve de la Covid-19, le confinement français du printemps 2020
Authors: Houdayer Hélène
Published: January 2022

Cet article traite de la transformation des rapports sociaux durant l’épisode de confinement français engendré par la Covid-19 du printemps 2020. Nous proposons une « réflexion à chaud » d’un événement qui a marqué les consciences, par l’imposition d’une distanciation sociale, modifiant les sphères de l’intimité. L’approche est orientée autour d’un des objets privilégiés de la sociologie, le lien social et ses constructions. Le confinement imposé durant la pandémie a déstructuré les relations sociales et désamorcé les processus de sociabilité traditionnelle. Cependant, des formes inédites de liens sociaux, tant par leurs dimensions exacerbées que par leur nature, se sont manifestées. Ces formes ont pu être observées par chacun, au quotidien, mais nous avons choisi d’attirer l’attention du lecteur sur ce qu’elles confortent dans la société : un changement de paradigme. Le local et la proximité sont devenus des références pour comprendre la formation des liens sociaux.
Higher dimensional topology and generalized Hopf bifurcations for discrete dynamical systems
Authors: Barge Héctor , Sanjurjo José M. R.
Published: January 2022

In this paper we study generalized Poincaré-Andronov-Hopf bifurcations of discrete dynamical systems. We prove a general result for attractors in \begin{document}$ n $\end{document}-dimensional manifolds satisfying some suitable conditions. This result allows us to obtain sharper Hopf bifurcation theorems for fixed points in the general case and other attractors in low dimensional manifolds. Topological techniques based on the notion of concentricity of manifolds play a substantial role in the paper.
Higher order parabolic boundary Harnack inequality in C1 and Ck, α domains
Authors: Kukuljan Teo
Published: January 2022

We study the boundary behaviour of solutions to second order parabolic linear equations in moving domains. Our main result is a higher order boundary Harnack inequality in C1 and Ck, α domains, providing that the quotient of two solutions vanishing on the boundary of the domain is as smooth as the boundary.

As a consequence of our result, we provide a new proof of higher order regularity of the free boundary in the parabolic obstacle problem.
Statistical solution and Liouville type theorem for coupled Schrödinger-Boussinesq equations on infinite lattices
Authors: Li Congcong , Li Chunqiu , Wang Jintao
Published: January 2022

In this article, we are concerned with statistical solutions for the nonautonomous coupled Schrödinger-Boussinesq equations on infinite lattices. Firstly, we verify the existence of a pullback-\begin{document}$ {\mathcal{D}} $\end{document} attractor and establish the existence of a unique family of invariant Borel probability measures carried by the pullback-\begin{document}$ {\mathcal{D}} $\end{document} attractor for this lattice system. Then, it will be shown that the family of invariant Borel probability measures is a statistical solution and satisfies a Liouville type theorem. Finally, we illustrate that the invariant property of the statistical solution is indeed a particular case of the Liouville type theorem.
The efficiency of major industrial enterprises in Sichuan province of China: A super slacks-based measure analysis
Authors: Zhu Nan , He Kai
Published: January 2022

The main objective of this research is to measure the efficiency of 397 major industrial enterprises in Sichuan province of China in 2013.To this end, we employed DEA super slacks-based measure (Super-SBM) model for performance evaluation of 397 major manufacturing firms.The empirical results show that 21 of the 397 enterprises operate efficiently, and the average efficiency score of the analyzed enterprises is only 0.15. The enterprise with the highest efficiency score is 96.15% higher than the average score, which is the benchmark enterprise of operational efficiency. Among the selected sample enterprises, 5.29% of the industrial enterprises are highly efficient in operation. It was also noticed that the average efficiency score of pharmaceutical firms was the highest among all industrial firms with a mean score of 0.75, which is 80% higher than the overall average score of all industries. While the average efficiency of manufacturing of chemical raw materials and chemical products was the lowest with a mean score of 0.39. Results of sensitivity analysis show that profit has a great impact on the efficiency score of special equipment manufacturing firms, but a relatively weak impact on the firms which manufacture computers, communications, and other electronic equipment. The effect of export delivery value on efficiency score is not obvious.

Published: January 2022

The atom search optimization (ASO) algorithm has the characteristics of fewer parameters and better performance than the traditional intelligent optimization algorithms, but it is found that ASO may easily fall into local optimum and its accuracy is not higher. Therefore, based on the idea of speed update in particle swarm optimization (PSO), an improved atomic search optimization (IASO) algorithm is proposed in this paper. Compared with traditional ASO, IASO has a faster convergence speed and higher precision for 23 benchmark functions. IASO algorithm has been successfully applied to maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for the direction of arrival (DOA), under the conditions of the different number of signal sources, different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and different population size, the simulation results show that ML estimator with IASO algorithum has faster convergence speed, fewer iterations and lower root mean square error (RMSE) than ML estimator with ASO, sine cosine algorithm (SCA), genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Therefore, the proposed algorithm holds great potential for not only guaranteeing the estimation accuracy but also greatly reducing the computational complexity of multidimensional nonlinear optimization of ML estimator.

Public opinion and opinion dynamics can have a strong effect on the transmission rate of an infectious disease for which there is no vaccine. The coupling of disease and opinion dynamics however, creates a dynamical system that is complex and poorly understood. We present a simple model in which susceptible groups adopt or give up prophylactic behaviour in accordance with the influence related to pro- and con-prophylactic communication. This influence varies with disease prevalence. We observe how the speed of the opinion dynamics affects the total size and peak size of the epidemic. We find that more reactive populations will experience a lower peak epidemic size, but possibly a larger final size and more epidemic waves, and that an increase in polarization results in a larger epidemic.
Early Childhood Education and Care in Kosovo: A Targeted Educational Approach Producing and Maintaining Social and Gender Inequalities
Authors: Mustafa Artan
Published: January 2022

This article examines participation in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in Kosovo based on a recent survey and administrative data. Kosovo’s ECEC policy aims to provide education and care for children aged 0 to 6 through an approach consisting of highly targeted public services for more vulnerable social groups, while expecting the rest to rely on the market or the family. It also provides a universal, public (2.5 hours a day) school preparatory programme for children aged 5-6 years. Availability of ECEC services has been rising, but remains well below the levels of the countries in the region. New services are increasingly coming through a market-based provision which leaves large social groups such as low-income families, rural families, parents with lower educational status and other socio-economically disadvantaged parents worse off. Since ECEC is considered highly relevant for children’s personal development and success in school, as well as for female participation in the labour market, the findings suggest that the current policy contributes towards cementing and furthering social and gender inequalities in the long run. In the absence of more comprehensive public services and other supportive family policy measures, Kosovo maintains a strong implicit familialistic policy with a weak potential to contribute to women’s employment. Key words: Kosovo, ECEC, defamilialisation, familialism, privatisation.
Living Myths in a Living World
Authors: Lehning Amber
Published: January 2022

This chapter considers fan studies in a mythological studies context and examines how green studies might use a similar approach to tap into the cultural and mythic power of modern fandoms. The first part defines the components of myth, considers existing fandom studies theories related to those components, and discusses on how fandom studies could impact the larger mythological studies debate. The second part describes the mythological roots of today's environmental crises and discusses the influence of specific fandoms on environmental activism. The chapter closes with some thoughts on how a mythological and green approach to fandom could provide further cultural impetus to positive environmental values much as feminist, ethnic, and queer perspectives on fandom have highlighted and supported a value shift in society as a whole.
Player/User Types for Gamification
Authors: Taşkın Necati , Kılıç Çakmak Ebru
Published: January 2022

Gamification has created great expectations for education and has become a trend in education. It is not an easy process to integrate gamification into educational environments. The design and development phases of gamification are very important. Therefore, it is necessary to follow a model that will guide the process in gamification designs. Individual differences among students are an important factor affecting their learning performance. In this context, considering student characteristics will increase the effect of gamification in education. Personalized gamification designs that meet the needs and expectations of students will be more effective than one-size-fits-all designs. It can benefit from player/user types in gamification designs to identify individual differences. This chapter aims to discuss player/user types in relation to gamification in the context of education.
How to Gamify E-Government Services?
Authors: Contreras-Espinosa Ruth S. , Eguia-Gomez Jose Luis
Published: January 2022

Although gamification has been applied to the e-government domain for the past 20 years, the literature shows that the field still lacks formal definitions to support the design of gamified strategies on these types of platforms and services, and that game element selection is often a subjective matter. This chapter provides a useful taxonomy of game elements to support the design of e-government initiatives, elaborated from the analysis of the literature on gamification frameworks and models applied to this domain. This work was additionally validated by gamification experts from public and private organizations during a series of workshops. A total of 30 commonly used game elements were selected, conceptualized, and classified into six dimensions. Gamification experts agreed that this work contributes to standardizing the game elements employed in e-government services, while the authors also believe this taxonomy can be a useful tool to analyze already existing frameworks.
Gamification and Health in a Holistic Perspective
Authors: Ögel Aydın Selin
Published: January 2022

Gamification and health are discussed from a one-sided perspective. Gamification and health studies focus on the use of gamification for health and overlook the perspective on how gamification affects health. This chapter discusses gamification and health in terms of organizations, individuals, and society, and addresses the effects of gamification on health and the use of gamification for health. Existing research on gamification and health addresses gamification practices developed for health and the health effects of gamification separately. Consequently, the aim of this chapter is to contribute to the original research collection organized into gamification studies in health from a holistic perspective.
Review Bomb
Authors: Tomaselli Venera , Cantone Giulio Giacomo , Mazzeo Valeria
Published: January 2022

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon of review bomb, which occurs when an abnormally large amount of information is submitted to a rating system in a very short period of time by an overtly anonymous mass of accounts, with the overall goal of sabotaging the system's proper functioning. Because review bombs are frequently outbursts of social distress from gaming communities, gamification theories have proven useful for understanding the behavioral traits and conflict dynamics associated with such a phenomenon. A prominent case is analysed quantitatively. The methodology is discussed and proposed as a generalized framework for descriptive quantification of review bombs. As a result of the study, considerations for technological improvements in the collection of rating data in systems are proposed too.

They shared the pedagogical and technological issues encountered when implementing the VE courses with their international partner professors and described their journey of an ongoing process of collaboration and problem solving prior to and during the pandemic. Concrete examples were provided to demonstrate how they used VE to produce meaningful student learning outcomes and to expand accessible international education. The authors also discussed future research and further implementation of the VE courses.
A Review of the Coronavirus Impact on Higher Education Institutions and Opportunity of Information Technology Applications in Collaborative Work
Authors: Pal Kamalendu
Published: January 2022

This chapter describes the challenge to the higher education sector during the coronavirus pandemic. It also presents the lack of preparedness in crisis management and digital education responses of higher education teaching and learning practice. Given that higher education institutions and the student community faced distinct challenges, policy responses and their implications have valuable lessons to learn. The chapter highlights research gaps, including researching the impact on lesser-developed countries, the psychological impact of transition, and the essential role of management in handling the pandemic. It also highlights that the general objective should be to build more resilient higher education teaching and learning delivery systems that are responsive and adaptive to future crises. London's City University decided to move off-campus and into a digital work environment responding to the current pandemic. A case study in the application of an undergraduate software engineering team-based project teaching and learning practice follows.
The Power of Technology in K-12 Education
Authors: Peggs Rachael
Published: January 2022

COVID-19 forever changed the lives of everyone in the year 2020. It caused heartbreak, the loss of loved ones, and changed forever what we considered to be normal. Education and schools took a completely different shift when schools closed, and students were transitioned into 100% online learning. Although this shift was abrupt and extremely hard, it has changed learning in a multitude of ways that we can now begin to understand. One of these is channeling learners' creativity, intrinsic motivation, and interest recognition using technology in the curriculum in crisis and non-crisis learning situations. Throughout this chapter there will be a review of problem-based learning, gamification, game-based learning, and simulation-based learning and the benefits associated with each of these and the major role that technology plays in each to be successful along with an exploration of the problems associated with technology and recommendations for educators, schools, administrators, and policymakers.
