Implementing Portfolio-Based Learning (PoBL) for L2 Training: Vietnamese EFL Learners’ Motivational Orientations and Listening Achievement
Authors: Cong-Lem Ngo
Published: January 2021

Whilst previous researchers commonly report on the effect of portfolio-based instruction on L2/EFL (second language/English as a foreign language) learners’ language performance, very few studies examine its impact on their learning motivation. Drawing on expectancy-value theory, the current study examines how the implementation of a portfolio-based listening course may affect language learners’ L2 motivation and skill development. This study adopted a mixed method approach with Vietnamese EFL learners in higher education as its participants who were administered a motivation questionnaire, listening comprehension tests, and semi-structured interviews. Both quantitative statistics and qualitative content analysis were applied for data analysis purposes. The results indicated that the portfolio-based program in this study had a significant positive impact on the participants’ motivational orientations, especially their expectancy components (i.e., their self-efficacy and learning control beliefs) and their L2 listening accomplishment but not on the value aspects. Pedagogical implications are discussed.

Alors que les chercheurs précédents font des rapports fréquents à propos des incidences sur la performance langagière des apprenants de L2/ALE (langue seconde/anglais langue étrangère) qu’a l’instruction basée sur le portfolio, très peu d’études examinent son impact sur leur motivation d’apprentissage. En s’inspirant de la théorie de l’expectancy-value, la présente étude examine comment la mise en place d’un cours d’écoute basé sur le portfolio peut affecter la motivation et le développement des compétences des apprenants de langue seconde. Cette étude a adopté une démarche à plusieurs méthodes auprès d’apprenants universitaires d’anglais langue étrangère vietnamiens à qui on a administré un questionnaire de motivation, des tests de compréhension orale et des entrevues semi-structurées. On a appliqué à la fois des statistiques quantitatives et une analyse qualitative du contenu à des fins d’analyse des données. Les résultats ont indiqué que le programme de cette étude, basé sur le portfolio, avait un impact positif significatif sur les orientations motivationnelles des participants, particulièrement sur les composantes de leurs attentes (c’est-à-dire leur efficacité personnelle et leurs croyances dans le contrôle de l’apprentissage) et leurs résultats d’écoute, mais pas sur les aspects de valeur. On discute des implications pédagogiques.

Authors: GÖÇEN Ahmet
Published: January 2021

The goal of this study is to examine how educators from both Eastern and Western cultures define ethical leadership and which characteristics they associate with ethical leaders. This study also explores ethical examples of educators, tries to answer if major events like Covid-19, high-technology, migration have changed their ethical perceptions, and lastly, examines their reactions to unethical conduct. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological research design. Data collection using semi-structured interviews and open-ended surveys was conducted with 51 educators from Eastern and Western countries. The findings indicate that the attributes of ethical leadership, like honesty, respect, fairness, and justice, are endorsed across both cultures. Other attributes, like flexibility, religiosity, and responsibility, were articulated by the educators from the Eastern sample, while rationality, team spirit and ability to listen were highlighted in the Western sample. The participants recounted their experiences of ethical leadership around several themes, some of which are a friendly approach, equality, defending the rights of others, and standing for right. They specified their different responses to unethical acts and mainly believe that ethics are constant throughout history.

The Quranic Treatment of Extremism
Authors: Ahmed Alhossany Ahmed Abdellah
Published: January 2021

This study deals with the Quranic treatment of extremism in terms of extremisms concept and semantics, types, causes, images,  and the Quranic approach in its treatment, and we try to link the Muslim to the Quran approach in the treatment of extremism as a problem which the individual and the old and new society suffer; Because extremism can be transformed from mere idea to apparent behavior while demonstrating that extremism in fact transcends the rules of law and divine orders, it is excessive in the commitment to religion on the one hand or negligence in adhering to it, on the other hand, it is not always concerned with bringing the matter but also enters into relinquishing. In addition to the need to be warned that extremism is a method of religiosity and not religion itself, and Islam with its centrist approach rejects such practices and seeks to address them through the curriculum of the Holy Quran

The ionizing radiation shielding parameters of (90-y)TeO2-yV2O3-5CaO-5Na2O (TVCN): y = 5–20 mol% semiconductor glasses were investigated. The avarage track lengths of photons with different energies (0.015- 15 MeV) in the TVCN-glasses were simulated via MCNP-5 code, then the corresponding LAC were computed. Based on LAC values, the MACs were calculated and compared with values which obtained via XCOM software. The highest LAC achieved for low energy (0.015 MeV) and reduced from 199.549 to 169.891 cm− 1, while the lowest values achieved for gamma photon with higher energies and reduced from 0.188 to 0.161 cm− 1 with replacment of TeO2 compound by V2O5. The highest (I/Io) achieved for TVCN20 glasses and decreased from 0.703 to 0.172., while the lowest (I/Io) performed for TVCN5 glasses and decreased from 0.680 to 0.145 for glasses thickness varied between 1 and 5 cm. The thinner HVL was achieved for TVCN5 and increases from 0.003 to 3.684 cm, while the thicker HVL was achieved for TVCN20 and increases from 0.004 to 4.293 cm. The highest dose rate was recorded in the presence of theTVCN20 glasses and varied between 5.680 and 23.210 µSv/hr, while the lowest dose rate recorded in the presence of the TVCN5 glasses and varied between 4.807 and 22.448 µSv/hr for glass thickness varied in range between 1–5 cm. The highest values of the Zeff was recorded for glasses TVCN5 and varied between 21.209 and 50.402, while the lowest Zeff achieved for TVCN20 and varied between 18.489 and 40.479. The calculated buildup factors (EBF and EABF) reach maximum values for glasses TVCN5 while the lowest EBF and EABF achieved for glasses TVCN20. Therefore, the glasses TVCN5 have a higher ability to attenuate the incident gamma photons. Thus, the TVCN-glasses can be applied in various radiation shielding applications in medical area.

PurposeIt was aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Orthorexia Nervosa Inventory (ONI) the Turkish version in a large adult population.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 710 individuals were included between the ages of 18–65 years living in Turkey. Individuals were reached via an online questionnaire (including ONI, Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) and sociodemographic characteristics). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the validity of ONI. ONI contains three sub-factors (behaviors, emotions and impairments). Analyzes were made with Lisrel 8.80 program and Statistical Package for Social Sciences 22.0 package program.ResultsThe Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.906 for ONI total factor scores and Cronbach’s alpha values for “behaviours”, “impairements”, and “emotions” were found to be 0.821, 0.842, and 0.809, respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis performed supported the three-factor structure of the ONI obtained in the first sample. The CMIN / df = 5.65 and the model generally fits well to the structure (RMSEA = 0.081, CFI = 0.94, NFI = 0.91, GFI = 0.86, AGFI = 0.83). A positive and moderate relationship (r = 0.418) was found between ONI and EAT-26. A positive and low level (r = 0.160) correlation was found between ONI and body mass index. There is no statistically significant difference between ONI scores according to gender (p = 0.22).ConclusionThe findings suggest Turkish version of the ONI is a valid and reliable scale for determining the tendency for orthorexia nervosa in Turkish adult population.Level of evidenceLevel V, descriptive cross-sectional study

Improved control of malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax can be achieved with the discovery of new antimalarials with radical cure efficacy, including prevention of relapse caused by hypnozoites residing in the liver of vivax patients. We screened several compound libraries against P. vivax liver stages, including 1566 compounds against mature hypnozoites, resulting in one drug-like and several probe-like hits useful for investigating hypnozoite biology. Primaquine and tafenoquine, administered in combination with chloroquine, are currently the only FDA-approved antimalarials for radical cure, yet their activity against mature P. vivax hypnozoites has not yet been demonstrated in vitro. By developing an extended assay, we show both drugs are individually hypnozonticidal and made more potent when partnered with chloroquine, similar to clinically-relevant combinations. Post-hoc analyses of screening data revealed excellent performance of ionophore controls and the high quality of single point assays, demonstrating a platform able to support the screening of greater compound numbers. A comparison of P. vivax liver stage activity data with that of the P. cynomolgi blood, P. falciparum blood, and P. berghei liver stages reveals little activity overlap, indicating that the delivery of new radical curative agents killing P. vivax hypnozoites requires an independent, focused drug development test cascade.

Im Sommersemester 2020 beteiligten sich 3469 Studierende sächsischer Hochschulen an einer Onlinebefragung zum Studium während der Coronapandemie. Trotz Campusschliessungen konnten die Befragten ihr Studium weitgehend wie geplant fortführen. Während die technische Ausstattung der Studierenden eine Teilnahme an digitalen Lehrveranstaltungen zuliess, zeigten sich Defizite bei der Qualität der Internetverbindung. Im Vergleich zum Vorsemester wurden die Studienorganisation als moderat (d = -0.48, 95 % CI [-0.52, -0.45]), Lernaktivitäten als deutlich (d = -0.86, 95 % CI [-0.90, -0.82]) schwerer empfunden. Auch die Konzentration auf das Studium fiel den Befragten schwerer als im Semester davor (d = -0.69, 95 % CI [-0.72, -0.65]). Mit den angebotenen Lernmedien zeigten sich die Befragten tendenziell zufrieden. Vor allem Learning-Management-Systeme, digitale Texte und Präsentationen dominierten das Lerngeschehen an den sächsischen Hochschulen. Fehlende soziale Interaktionen mit Peers und fehlende lernbezogene Interaktionen mit Dozentinnen und Dozenten wurden als besonders nachteilig erlebt. Zeit- und Kostenersparnisse sowie mehr Autonomie beim Lernen sind die grössten Vorteile des Studierens von zu Hause. Es zeigen sich keine Hinweise, dass leistungsschwache Studierende von den veränderten Studienbedingungen stärker nachteilig betroffen waren.

Medicinal plants are important in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industry owing to the diversity of their chemical composition. Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is a medicinal plant that is frequently used to produce cosmetics and food. However, the effects of factors such as photoperiod, growth regulators, and nutrients on growth during micropropagation are not comprehensively understood. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of different photoperiods and growth regulators on in-vitro growth and biochemical activity of the O. Basilicum 'Genovese' cultivated using a potassium-supplemented culture medium. The experiments were carried out in a completely causalized design and were conducted using a Murashige and Skoog culture medium plus sucrose and agar. In the first experiment, seeds were inoculated at three different photoperiods in the presence or absence of growth regulators. In the second experiment, growth media containing five different concentrations of potassium iodide (KI) (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 μM) were used. Basil seedlings grown at photoperiods of 16h and 24h produced more leaves and larger length and shoot mass, and addition of growth regulators showed no effect. However, the root systems produced the highest average values at a photoperiod of 16 h and when growth regulators were supplemented (0.23 g ±0,08). Antioxidant activity and the concentration of ascorbate peroxidase were higher under the 16 h light treatment and with addition of growth regulators. Addition of potassium to the growth medium had no beneficial effects on seedlings. Antioxidant activity was not affected by potassium concentrations, but it remained high (above 13.5%) when compared with the previous treatment. Catalase activity was the highest in seedlings grown at the highest concentrations of KI. The catalase enzyme is considered a stress indicator, so in higher concentrations of KI there is evidence that the basil plants may have had oxidative damage

Domestic dogs live in the same environment as their owners and are exposed to the same environmental risk factors. For this reason, these animals can serve as indicators of diseases affecting humans. According to epidemiological studies performed by the National Center for Poison Control (NAPCC) in the United States, dogs are a kind of indicator of human exposure to environmental toxins, such as insecticides and herbicides, because they respond to most poisonings analogously to humans. Pesticides, such as rodenticides, insecticides, molluscicides and herbicides, are the most common cause of poisoning in companion animals in Europe. In most species, pesticides are one of the main causes of poisoning. The incidence of pesticide poisoning is significantly dependent on the toxicity of commercial preparations. A ban on the use of

Giriş: İşitme kaybı olan (İK) çocukların dil gelişimini anlama çabasına son yıllarda bilişsel gelişimi anlama çalışmaları da eklenmiştir. Bu araştırmada temel bilişsel süreçlerden biri olan yürütücü işlevlere odaklanmış araştırmaları derleyerek İK çocuklarda yürütücü işlevlerin diğer bilişsel süreçlerle/becerilerle ilişkisi ve bu çocukların yürütücü işlevler performansı üzerine genel bir bakış açısı ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Sistematik derleme metodolojisi ile belirlenen dâhil etme ve dışlama ölçütleri doğrultusunda 15 araştırma derleme kapsamına alınmıştır.Bulgular: Bulgular (a) yürütücü işlevler ile dil arasında karşılıklılık ilişkisi olduğuna, (b) İK çocukların yürütücü işlevler performansının işiten akranlarına göre daha zayıf olduğuna, (c) yürütücü işlevler performansında koklear implantlı ile işitme cihazlı çocuklar arasında ve anadili işaret dili olanlar ile işiten çocuklar arasında farklılık olmadığına, (d) kaynaştırma ortamındaki koklear implantlı çocukların işitme engelliler okulundakilere göre yürütücü işlevlerde daha başarılı olduklarına ve (e) erken eğitim programlarında bilişsel süreçlerin dil ile dengeli biçimde desteklenmesi gerektiğine işaret etmektedir.Tartışma: İK çocukların yürütücü işlevler performansının işiten akranlarını geriden takip etmesi diğer bilişsel süreçleri inceleyen bazı araştırma bulgularıyla tutarlılık göstermektedir. Yürütücü işlevler ile diğer bilişsel süreçler/beceriler arasında ilişkiye dair bir yargıya varılamadığı, yürütücü işlevler ile dil arasındaki ilişkinin nedensellikten çok karşılıklılık içinde olduğu söylenebilir.Sonuç ve Öneriler: Bulgular daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermekte, yeni araştırmaların da erken eğitim programlarına katkı sağlayacağına inanılmaktadır. Dil gelişimi-bilişsel gelişim dengesinin gözetildiği erken eğitim programlarının İK çocuklar ile işiten akranları arasındaki yürütücü işlevler performans farkının en aza indirilmesinde etkili olabileceği ileri sürülebilir.

Improving the integrated hydrological simulation on a data-scarce catchment with multi-objective calibration
Authors: He Qianwen , Molkenthin Frank
Published: January 2021

The process-based hydrological model Soil and Water Assessment Tool ensures the simulation's reliability by calibration. Compared to the commonly applied single-objective calibration, multi-objective calibration benefits the spatial parameterization and the simulation of specific processes. However, the requirements of additional observations and the practical procedure are among the reasons to prevent the wider application of the multi-objective calibration. This study proposes to consider three groups of objectives for the calibration: multisite, multi-objective function, and multi-metric. For the study catchment with limited observations like the Yuan River Catchment (YRC) in China, the three groups corresponded to discharge from three hydrometric stations, both Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) and inversed NSE for discharge evaluation, and MODIS global terrestrial evapotranspiration product and baseflow filtered from discharge as metrics, respectively. The applicability of two multi-objective calibration approaches, the Euclidean distance and nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II, was analyzed to calibrate the above-mentioned objectives for the YRC. Results show that multi-objective calibration has simultaneously ensured the model's better performance in terms of the spatial parameterization, the magnitude of the output time series, and the water balance components, and it also reduces the parameter and prediction uncertainty. The study thus leads to a generalized, recommended procedure for catchments with data scarcity to perform the multi-objective calibration.

Published: January 2021

This study compared the effects of four forest canopies on throughfall chemistry in the Qinling Mountains, China. Rainfall and throughfall samples were collected in stands of Quercus aliena (Qa) var. Acuteserrata, Pinus tabulaeformis (Pt), P. armandii (Pa), and mixed broad-leaved (Mb) trees from 2009 to 2011. The results indicated that the pH of the rainfall, which was mildly acidic, increased as it passed through the forest canopy. The pH increased more within the broad-leaved forest canopy than the coniferous forest. Concentrations of decreased as rainfall passed through the Qa canopy but increased after passing through the other species. The concentrations of and Zn, Cd and Pb decreased as rainfall passed through the four canopies. The coniferous forest canopy was more effective than the broad-leaved forest in reducing in rainwater. The decreases in Cd concentrations were similar among the four canopies. The Pb concentration decreased the most among the heavy metals, and the order of the decrease was Qa > Pt > Pa > Mb. The results may provide a basis for the selection of tree species for afforestation in water sources in the Qinling Mountains and similar areas.

The expected growth of the world's population, from about 7.8 billion people today to 9.8 billion people by 2050, and to around 11 billion people by the end of 2100, will create even higher demand and a greater strain on these basic services. Goal 6 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) aims to ‘Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’ by 2030. However, in a recent report, UN-Water warns us that if things continue on the current path, the world will miss the targets of SDG 6. The selection of appropriate water and sanitation technologies is key to meeting SDG 6 targets. This paper presents an original framework of a decision support system (DSS) for the selection of appropriate water supply and sanitation (Watsan) technologies in developing countries. The proposed DSS has three components. The first component is the user interface, where the inputs are the assessment of a community's capacity to manage a given water supply or sanitation system, and its regional specificity. The second component of the DSS is a database of Watsan technologies classified according to the capacity requirement level (CRL) metric, and finally, the third component is a matching algorithm for the selection of appropriate Watsan technology options. Case studies and simulations results are presented for the evaluation of the performance of the decision support system.

Identification and quantification of environmental and socio-economic impact risks and effective monitoring of water projects are crucial for sustainable water resource management. Hence, the present study was conducted with the objectives of identifying potential environmental risks of different stages of the development of a new water supply scheme located in the wet zone of Sri Lanka, and categorizing identified impacts based on their significance. A rapid environmental assessment (REA) was followed to identify the upstream point source pollution and downstream water uses in the immediate catchment. Subsequently, a semi quantitative approach was conducted to screen the environmental, social, and economic risks concerning likelihood and sensitivity of the impact. Besides, an analysis of physico-chemical and biological parameters of water quality was conducted in the intake location. The semi quantitative method highlighted that low and medium risk with ecological impacts (50%), low risks towards sustainability of water source (75%), medium level constructional impacts (60%), and very high-level impacts at the operational stage were available (50%). A water quality monitoring program revealed that Escherichia coli count, total coliform bacterial count, and colour of the water were above the standard limits in the nearby freshwater source. In conclusion, a similar approach can be implemented worldwide as a reference to determine the potential socio-environmental consequences in water supply projects to minimize the adverse impacts. Through this study, sustainable mitigation measures were proposed accordingly to prevent the impacts and to strengthen the long-term viability of the new Rural Water Supply Scheme.
Força e aparência
Authors: Dias Lucas
Published: January 2021

Desenvolvo neste artigo uma leitura sobre o pensamento político de Maquiavel com base no par conceitual força-aparência; delimito a questão ao âmbito do texto O príncipe. Interpreto, inicialmente, os conceitos à luz das figuras do leão e da raposa expostas pelo autor a fim de especificar o significado da força enquanto vigor e enquanto aparência. Em seguida, desenvolvo o argumento por meio do conceito de astúcia como uma forma de saber político. A partir da análise, sobressai-se a dimensão do político como fenômeno circunscrito não por uma disjunção entre os conceitos trabalhados, mas enquanto fenomenicamente interrelacionados e constituintes do poder político. Esta interpretação, assim, emerge junto à noção de “verdade efetiva” como estrutura de um pano de fundo conceitual que afirma o realismo político tanto dos regimes reais, quanto das ações políticas.
Passos da luta pela emancipação feminina
Authors: Cotrim Vera
Published: January 2021

Este artigo busca apresentar o ideário feminista que se relaciona com movimentos sociais de caráter revolucionário. Exponho inicialmente o pensamento pioneiro de Mary Wollstonecraft que, levando a concepção iluminista e a defesa da Revolução Francesa às últimas consequências, confere àquela uma radicalidade ausente nos pensadores modernos. Discorro então sobre o desenvolvimento da concepção socialista sobre o problema da emancipação feminina por pensadores como Marx, Engels, Kollontai e Lenin, destacando a subversão da instituição familiar proposta pelas e pelos bolcheviques na Revolução Russa, articulada com a dissolução da propriedade privada e do Estado, em uma proposta de completa reorganização da sociabilidade humana. Procuro também expor brevemente aspectos do feminismo negro da filósofa socialista Angela Davis como um importante desenvolvimento da concepção sobre a emancipação feminina elaborada durante a revolução russa. Com isso, pretendo propor que os e as herdeiras de um pensamento não são aquelas que repetem e estendem seus princípios, mas aquelas que desenvolvem sua radicalidade.
Darwin e o novo quadro da natureza
Authors: Costa José
Published: January 2021

Darwin e a Seleção Natural: Uma história filosófica, publicado por Pedro Paulo Pimenta, é um rico e erudito ensaio acerca das bases conceituais e metafóricas da teoria da evolução por seleção natural. Trata-se de uma contribuição importante para compreendermos as concepções que nortearam Darwin na concepção de sua hipótese. Também nos ajuda a entender a diversidade de compreensões (e incompreensões) ligadas à teoria científica que buscou (e ainda busca) explicar “o mistério de todos os mistérios”, isto é, a diversidade das formas de vida presentes na Terra.

The capacity to create innovative Business Models (BM) has become the foundation for numerous businesses. Business Model Innovation (BMI) grows more significant as digitalization influences our everyday lives and prompts the development of better approaches for working, imparting and collaborating in this computerized universe of Industry 4.0. In this paper we present a conceptual architecture which can be applied in the modern video-conference systems with the help of semantic segmentation. The scene represents an environment, intended for discussion of ideas in business modeling. The semantic segmentation allows each pixel of an image (or video) from the scene to be related or classified to a specific type of object. In this way it is possible to interpret the description of a scene by the machine. Thus, with the help of the proposed architecture, the processes taking place between objects and people in the surrounding environment can be analyzed for the purpose of digitization of BMI by modelling human behavior and cognitive processes into logical expressions that can be digitized and automated. The semantic segmentation is considered as a basic element in this type of interaction. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm in with real data examples.

Published: January 2021

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has great potentiality for the international tourism industry that remains predominantly under-developed. The Kingdom’s attempt to diversify its economic dependence on fossil fuels focusing on its tourism potentials by continuing to create and implement proactive steps to diversify from an oil-based economy which is already globally diminishing, making the tourism industry a very wise option, especially as supported by the political, economic and social will via The Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH) and this is what made the researchers look into how tourism contributes in this paradigm shift. This paper is shedding light on the tourism industry in different sites in the Hail region necessary to support the tourism industry in the Saudi Arabia Kingdom. This research is among the unique proofs that the Hail region is having diversified and various tourism attractions compared to the other Kingdom’s 12 regions. Ha’il region is one of the richest tourism attraction sites in the whole of the Kingdom. It has a somewhat milder climate than other Saudi regions due to its higher altitude. The paper is exploring and investigating Hails’ sites as well as adopting analytical descriptive and documentation of the invented sites that can support The Kingdom to help to succeed in boasting the booming tourism planning to become an excellent tourist destination and a tourist hotspot. This paper is concluded with the steps to be adopted to improve the tourism industry.

Background

Smartphones have become an essential part of everyday life and it is undeniable that apps offer enormous opportunities for dealing with future challenges in public health. Nevertheless, the exact patient requirements for medical apps in the field of orthopedic and trauma surgery are currently unknown.

Objective

The aim of this study was to define target groups, evaluate patient requirements, and the potential and pitfalls regarding medical apps specific for patients receiving orthopedic and trauma surgical care.

Methods

A prospective multicenter study was conducted between August 2018 and December 2019 at a German trauma center and 3 trauma surgery/orthopedic practices. A paper-based survey consisting of 15 questions evaluated information regarding smartphone and medical app usage behavior. In addition, suggested app functions were rated using Likert scales. Descriptive statistics and binary log-binomial regression were performed.

Results

A total of 1055 questionnaires were included in our statistical analysis. Approximately 89.57% (945/1055) of the patients in this study owned a smartphone. Smartphone ownership probability decreased with every decade of life and increased with higher levels of education. Medical information was obtained via mobile web access by 62.65% (661/1055) of the patients; this correlated with smartphone ownership in regard to age and educational level. Only 11.18% (118/1055) of the patients reported previous medical app usage, and 3.50% (37/1055) of the patients received an app recommendation from a physician. More than half (594/1055, 56.30%) of the patients were unwilling to pay for a medical app. The highest rated app functions were information about medication, behavioral guidelines, and medical record archival. An improved treatment experience was reported through the suggested app features by 71.18% (751/1055) of the patients.

Conclusions

Mobile devices are a widely used source of information for medical content, but only a minority of the population reported previous medical app usage. The main target group for medical apps among patients receiving orthopedic and trauma surgical care tends to be the younger population, which results in a danger of excluding fringe groups, especially the older adults. Education seems to be one of the most important pull factors to use smartphones or a mobile web connection to obtain health information. Medical apps primarily focusing on an optimized patient education and flow of information seem to have the potential to support patients in health issues, at least in their subjective perception. For future target group–oriented app developments, further evidence on the clinical application, feasibility, and acceptance of app usage are necessary in order to avoid patient endangerment and to limit socioeconomic costs.
