The effect of collar width ratio on the flow pattern around an oblong pier in a bend
Authors: Dehghan Danesh , Vaghefi Mohammad , Ghodsian Masoud
Published: June 2021

In this paper, the effect of collar width ratio on the flow pattern around an oblong pier in a 180-degree channel bend was experimentally studied. This channel has a rectangular cross section. It is 1 m in width and 0.7 m in height. The upstream and downstream paths are respectively 6.5 and 5 m long. The ratio of the bend's central curvature radius to the channel width is 2; hence, it qualifies as a sharp bend. Experiments were carried out under clear water approach flow conditions. The results showed that the presence of collars around an oblong pier creates vortices in the opposite direction of the longitudinal flow, causes the distortion and disturbance of the streamlines toward the pier downstream, and decreases downflow strength in front of the pier nose. Furthermore, doubling the collar width results in 0.93 and 0.68 times the vorticity and the power of the secondary flow on the pier upstream, respectively. It also reduced the maximum values of the Reynolds stresses perpendicular to the y-plane in x direction and perpendicular to the z-plane in y direction by respectively 45 and 60%, and increased the Reynolds stress perpendicular to the z-plane in x direction by 25%.

Authors: Kanyembo Chona , Chiluba Brian , Moyo Geoffrey
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Cerebral palsy is the leading cause of disability worldwide and Zambia has its fair share of cases. Most parents/caregivers of children with Cerebral palsy at University Teaching Hospital started attending physiotherapy late when their children were over one year Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of mothers towards factors contributing to late physiotherapy intervention of children with Cerebral palsy at University Teaching Hospital. Furthermore, assess the knowledge of mothers with children between 0-5 years on the role of physiotherapy in Cerebral palsy.

Methodology: An exploratory study design using qualitative methods was used. Data collection techniques were FGDs that consisted of purposively sampling of 10 mothers of children with CP attending physiotherapy at University Teaching Hospital. Audio-recording from the FGDs was transcribed verbatim for each session by an independent person. The study employed thematic analysis for data analysis. The data was classified systematically by means of coding to identify key factors or issues such as concepts, categories, themes and the relationship between them.

Results: This study identified four themes on factors that influence late physiotherapy intervention of children with Cerebral Palsy at University Teaching Hospital. These included: Socio-economic support; late referral for Physiotherapy; Caregiver’s knowledge about Cerebral Palsy; and People’s attitude towards Cerebral Palsy. Limited caregiver knowledge about the role of physiotherapy in Cerebral Palsy was reported to be due to; limited community awareness about physiotherapy; and lack of caregiver education.

Conclusion: The present study sought to explore the perceptions of mothers towards factors contributing to late physiotherapy intervention in children with Cerebral Palsy. A diversity of factors that led to delayed intervention was highlighted. Rehabilitation professionals should be aware of the factors that impact mothers both positively and negatively in order to implement effective rehabilitation programs.
Factors Influencing Adherence to Physiotherapy Appointments for Children with Cerebral Palsy at Chilenje Hospital in Zambia: A Mother’s Perspective (2017-2018)
Authors: Foto Dorcas , Moyo Geoffrey , Chiluba Brian
Published: June 2021

Adherence to treatment appointments by mothers of children with Cerebral Palsy is one of the factors affected in rehabilitation of a child with Cerebral Palsy, and this is cardinal to ensure effective rehabilitation outcomes for the child. Hence this study aimed to explore the factors influencing poor adherence to physiotherapy appointments by mothers of children with Cerebral Palsy at Chilenje Hospital, in Lusaka. A qualitative case study design utilising a phenomenological approach was conducted with a sample of 12 mothers of children with Cerebral palsy from Chilenje Hospital, Lusaka. Convenient sampling was utilized where mothers who were non-adhering were also purposefully selected into the study to better understand the factors affecting adherence to physiotherapy. The factors that contributed to caregivers defaulting scheduled therapy included economic constraints like unemployment and low education level, caregiver related factors such as marital challenges, and service centered factors such as challenges with the diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy and negative clinician attitudes. Majority of the caregivers admitted that they were motivated to attend therapy by observable improvements in their children. A combination of psychosocial, economic, child centered and service centered factors contributed to caregivers defaulting scheduled therapy. Interventions that may potentially improve caregiver attendance to scheduled therapy include community outreach services, efficient rehabilitation service provision at the hospitals, and facilitation of income generating programmes for mothers and caregivers.

Authors: Hudzaifah Hudzaifah
Published: June 2021

This study aims to find out the relationship of prosocial behavior with the intensity of teacher social interaction towards children with special needs in inclusion schools in Surakarta. The method used in this research is quantitative correlational method. The sampling method is to use purposive sampling method, with a research subject of 30 teachers of inclusion school class in Surakarta. Data collection techniques in this study used questionnaires with the scale of prosocial behavior and social interaction. The result of data analysis using Pearson Correlation Product Moment technique with the help of SPSS 23.0 program obtained correlation of r= 0.919, (p>0.05), thus means Ha rejected and Ho accepted, so it can be concluded that; 1) There is no significant link between prosocial behaviour and the intensity of teacher social interaction towards children with special needs in inclusion schools, 2) The embodiment of prosocial behavior also does not have to give rise to interactions between teachers and students with special needs but a teacher tends to give indirect assistance to students, and 3) The development of increasingly sophisticated technology makes a person, especially children with special needs less social and reduce their social attitudes. So it tends to do things based on its own interests.

All local governments have the same responsibility and obligation in positioning themselves as institution that are friendly to persons with disabilities, including Central Lampung Regency in Lampung Province. There are two important questions from the research which is the basis of this study; (1). What are the efforts made by the Central Lampung Regency government towards groups with disabilities? (2). What are the problems that occur in the management of disability groups in Central Lampung Regency?. The type of this research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The data used by researchers in this study are sourced from primary and secondary data. In this study, primary data obtained through interview techniques was carried out by giving several questions related to the problem issues in research to the informants who had been determined. Informants in this study was collected with a purposive sampling technique. The key informants in this study were 9 heads of local government organizations, 10 representatives of community organizations, and 5 members of the regional parliament. All of them play a role in data collection activities which include focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out using interactive data analysis techniques. In the last three years, the number of people with disabilities in Central Lampung has increased. However, the increase in the number of people with disabilities in Central Lampung is due to the expansion of the meaning and scope of disabilities in Indonesia regulation. It is known that several actions at the level of local government organizations in facilitating groups with disabilities can be designed in a more focused manner in the design of programs and policies covering the government, population and civil registration, social, health, education, employment, and transportation, and public infrastructure sectors.

Most of researches have reported the significance of English phonemic awareness to the success of learning English, but less discussions involving students with visual disabilities. Students with visual disabilities lacks of visual input and form a strong sensitivity to audio input, researches have reported that this condition affect their spelling ability, yet, their ability in recognizing English phonemes has been less explored especially in Indonesia. Thus, this research aims to describe the phonemic awareness of students with visual disabilities who learn English as Foreign Language. The participants of this research are students with visual disabilities whether active or passive braille user. 7 students with visual disabilities participated in an Online English Phonemic Awareness Test. Two independent raters rated the data independently. Interrater agreement was applied to ensure the objectivity of two independent interrater. The findings show that students with visual disabilities are aware of consonants Fricative alveolar, Plosive bilabial, and Plosive alveolar sounds but struggling with Fricative velar and Affricative velar sound, they are also aware of vowels Close mid front vowel, Close front long vowel sounds, Close mid back vowel and Open central vowel but struggling in identifying Open back vowel, Close mid central vowel, and Open mid back vowel. English phonemic awareness is a very important basic thing in language learning. However, it will be very challenging for ESL learners, especially those who learn are blind students because of certain obstacles that blind students have so that strategies are needed in language learning.

Konsep Cinta Menurut Erich Fromm; Upaya Menghindari Tindak Kekerasan dalam Pacaran
Authors: Apriantika Sasiana Gilar
Published: June 2021

Kekerasan dalam pacaran (Dating Violence) merupakan pelecehan fisik, seksual, emosional atau verbal dari pasangan romantik atau seksual. Data terakhir Catatan Tahunan Komnas Perempuan Tahun 2017 menyebutkan, terdapat 16% angka kekerasan dalam pacaran, dengan angka mencapai 1.873 kasus, dan masih terus bertambah. Beberapa faktor menjadi penyebab munculnya kekerasan dalam pacaran, baik dari faktor eksternal (konstruk budaya), maupun faktor internal (individu). Tulisan ini mencoba mengurai tentang bagaimana pemaknaan konsep cinta yang keliru, sebagai basis dari terbentuknya hubungan pacaran yang diskriminatif. Tinjauan tentang hakikat cinta dan bagaimana pemaknaan tentang cinta, dilakukan dengan menggunakan konsep yang dikemukakan oleh Erich Fromm. Kajian ini menjadi penting untuk menjelaskan bagaimana seharusnya  pemaknaan tentang cinta sebagai sebuah proses menjadi (To Be), bukan sebagai tujuan untuk memiliki (To Have). Kajian ini memungkinkan individu lebih bisa memaknai hubungan pacaran dengan konsep cinta yang produkif, sehingga terbebas dari tindak kekerasan dalam pacaran, baik sebagai korban maupun pelaku.

Coconut plants are very potential commodities, all parts of the coconut plant are beneficial to the needs of human life. All parts of coconuts are not wasted and can be used to produce industrial products. The partners are coconut farmers who sell peeled coconut and coconut flesh. Farmers in Margomulyo village have difficulty in handling the waste of untreated coconut water. Sometimes the coconut water causes inundated land without being used. Sometimes when the coconut water is not directly absorbed in the ground, it will cause bad odor in the environment. Therefore, the use of coconut water is a way to optimize the use of coconut fruit. The content of sucrose sugar in coconut water will be used by Acetobacter xylinum as a source of energy, as well as a carbon source to form metabolite compounds such as cellulose that form Nata de Coco. In conclusion, Nata de coco making training in Margomulyo village gave positive response for the community to establish business unit. The barrier to the implementation of this activity was that there was no solution for handling waste production of Nata de coco of which aroma was quite disturbing. Thus, the implementation of nata de coco waste treatment program will be overcomed in further implementation of community service program which will be held in the next period

Kegiatan PPM ini bertujuan memberikan pelatihan penggunaan program R dan SPSS dalam penelitian data ilmu sosial dan kependidikan kepada para praktisi lulusan S1, mahasiswa pasca sarjana, dan dosen di lingkungan universitas di Yogyakarta. Penelitian dalam ilmu sosial dan kependidikan seringkali melibatkan banyak variabel yang saling berkorelasi maupun mempunyai korelasi yang tinggi, misalnya dalam pengembangan suatu instrument penelitian. Penghapusan variabel yang mempunyai korelasi tinggi bisa mengakibatkan hilangnya informasi, untuk mengatasi hal tersebut dapat digunakan analisis komponen utama (Principal Component Analysis/PCA). Sedangkan dalam hal menentukan konstruk yang sesuai dari butir-butir soal yang terbentuk dapat dilakukan dengan dua pendekatan yaitu analisis faktor eksplorasi (Exploratory Factor Analysis/EFA) dan analisis faktor konfirmasi (Confirmatory Factor Analysis/CFA). Permasalahan yang terkait dengan reduksi variabel dan pembentukan konstruk pada pengembangan instrument ini merupakan hal yang sangat penting dalam penelitian ilmu sosial dan kependidikan.  Sehingga suatu metode analisis PCA, EFA, dan CFA dengan menggunakan program R dan SPSS mutlak diperlukan. Workshop yang diikuti oleh 26 peserta peserta ini dapat berjalan dengan baik. Berdasarkan pelaksanaan dan evaluasi kegiatan ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa tujuan dapat tercapai dengan baik.

Application of the eHealth Literacy Model in Digital Health Interventions: Scoping Review
Authors: El Benny Mariam , Kabakian-Khasholian Tamar , El-Jardali Fadi , Bardus Marco
Published: June 2021

Background

Digital health interventions (DHIs) are increasingly being adopted globally to address various public health issues. DHIs can be categorized according to four main types of technology: mobile based, web based, telehealth, and electronic health records. In 2006, Norman and Skinner introduced the eHealth literacy model, encompassing six domains of skills and abilities (basic, health, information, scientific, media, and computer) needed to effectively understand, process, and act on health-related information. Little is known about whether these domains are assessed or accounted for in DHIs.

Objective

This study aims to explore how DHIs assess and evaluate the eHealth literacy model, describe which health conditions are addressed, and which technologies are used.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review of the literature on DHIs, based on randomized controlled trial design and reporting the assessment of any domain of the eHealth literacy model. MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched. A duplicate selection and data extraction process was performed; we charted the results according to the country of origin, health condition, technology used, and eHealth literacy domain.

Results

We identified 131 unique DHIs conducted in 26 different countries between 2001 and 2020. Most DHIs were conducted in English-speaking countries (n=81, 61.8%), delivered via the web (n=68, 51.9%), and addressed issues related to noncommunicable diseases (n=57, 43.5%) or mental health (n=26, 19.8%). None of the interventions assessed all six domains of the eHealth literacy model. Most studies focused on the domain of health literacy (n=96, 73.2%), followed by digital (n=19, 14.5%), basic and media (n=4, 3%), and information and scientific literacy (n=1, 0.7%). Of the 131 studies, 7 (5.3%) studies covered both health and digital literacy.

Conclusions

Although many selected DHIs assessed health or digital literacy, no studies comprehensively evaluated all domains of the eHealth literacy model; this evidence might be overlooking important factors that can mediate or moderate the effects of these interventions. Future DHIs should comprehensively assess the eHealth literacy model while developing or evaluating interventions to understand how and why interventions can be effective.
Supporting the Mental Health Needs of Military Partners Through the Together Webinar Program: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Hendrikx Laura Josephine , Murphy Dominic
Published: June 2021

Background

Despite an increased risk of psychological difficulties, there remains a lack of evidence-based support for the mental health needs of military partners.

Objective

This study aims to investigate whether the Together Webinar Programme (TTP-Webinar), a 6-week structured, remote access group intervention would reduce military partners’ experience of common mental health difficulties and secondary trauma symptoms.

Methods

A pilot randomized controlled trial was used to compare the TTP-Webinar intervention with a waitlist control. The sample was UK treatment-seeking veterans engaged in a mental health charity. A total of 196 military partners (1 male and 195 females; aged mean 42.28, SD 10.82 years) were randomly allocated to the intervention (n=97) or waitlist (n=99) condition. Outcome measures were self-reported measures of common mental health difficulties, secondary trauma symptoms, and overall quality of life rating.

Results

Compared with the waitlist, military partners in the TTP-Webinar had reduced common mental health difficulties (P=.02) and secondary trauma symptoms (P=.001). However, there was no difference in quality-of-life ratings (P=.06).

Conclusions

The results suggest that TTP-Webinar is an effective intervention to support the mental health difficulties of military partners. This study provides promising evidence that webinars may be an appropriate platform for providing group-based support.

Patients and Professionals as Partners in Hypertension Care: Qualitative Substudy of a Randomized Controlled Trial Using an Interactive Web-Based System Via Mobile Phone
Authors: Andersson Ulrika , Bengtsson Ulrika , Ranerup Agneta , Midlöv Patrik , Kjellgren Karin
Published: June 2021

Background

The use of technology has the potential to support the patient´s active participation regarding treatment of hypertension. This might lead to changes in the roles of the patient and health care professional and affect the partnership between them.

Objective

The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the partnership between patients and health care professionals and the roles of patients and professionals in hypertension management when using an interactive web-based system for self-management of hypertension via the patient’s own mobile phone.

Methods

Focus group interviews were conducted with 22 patients and 15 professionals participating in a randomized controlled trial in Sweden aimed at lowering blood pressure (BP) using an interactive web-based system via mobile phones. The interviews were audiorecorded and transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results

Three themes were identified: the technology, the patient, and the professional. The technology enabled documentation of BP treatment, mainly for sharing knowledge between the patient and the professional. The patients gained increased knowledge of BP values and their relation to daily activities and treatment. They were able to narrate about their BP treatment and take a greater responsibility, inspired by new insights and motivation for lifestyle changes. Based on the patient’s understanding of hypertension, professionals could use the system as an educational tool and some found new ways of communicating BP treatment with patients. Some reservations were raised about using the system, that it might be too time-consuming to function in clinical practice and that too much measuring could result in stress for the patient and an increased workload for the professionals. In addition, not all professionals and patients had adopted the instructions regarding the use of the system, resulting in less realization of its potential.

Conclusions

The use of the system led to the patients taking on a more active role in their BP treatment, becoming more of an expert of their BP. When using the system as intended, the professionals experienced it as a useful resource for communication regarding BP and lifestyle. Patients and professionals described a consultation on more equal grounds. The use of technology in hypertension management can promote a constructive and person-centered partnership between patient and professional. However, implementation of a new way of working should bring benefits and not be considered a burden for the professionals. To establish a successful partnership, both the patient and the professional need to be motivated toward a new way of working.

Authors: Querido Ana , Aissaoui Djamel , Dixe Maria Dos Anjos , Schwander-Maire Françoise , Cara-Nova Tanya , Charepe Zaida , Laranjeira Carlos
Published: June 2021

Background

Higher-education students are particularly vulnerable to both everyday stressors and mental health problems. Public health emergencies may generate a range of unforeseen potential stressors for vulnerable individuals and communities. The current pandemic has apparently led to an increase in psychiatric symptoms among these students.

Objective

The goal of this study is to characterize the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among Portuguese and Swiss higher-education students.

Methods

This project will use a mixed methods sequential explanatory design in Portugal and Switzerland, with two consecutive phases. During Phase I, a quantitative study will assess the psychological responses of higher-education students during the COVID-19 pandemic. A convenience sampling method will be used for collecting information from students. The association between variables will be determined with univariable and multivariable analyses. During Phase II, qualitative data will be collected in order to understand the determinants of psychological stress and the strategies adopted by students as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to identify their opinions and feelings about the teaching-learning process during quarantine. In this phase, participants will be selected using a maximum-variation sampling method. Data from focus group discussions will be coded and inductively analyzed using a thematic analysis approach.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reaction of Greeks to this new educational reality due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Since the first restrictive measures were implemented in March 2020in Greece, distance learning has become a dynamic part of people’s daily lives with the prospect of remain in gas such in the future. A total of N=170 students, parents, teachers, civil servants, private sector employees who were involved in the distance learning process either as instructors or as students in the period of Covid-19 pandemic in Greece, were selected with the use of snowball sampling. A questionnaire using demographic and satisfaction related variables was completed by the respondents, namely citizens across Greece, based on a Likert scale questionnaire which is a useful and multidimensional instrument, to assess satisfaction within the time frame from July 7, 2020 to October 20, 2020; the period when there occurred a loosening in the restrictive measures between the two lockdowns in Greece. It was investigated how the demographic factors, specifically gender, age, occupation, and place of residence, influence the attitude of the respondents towards synchronous and asynchronous distance learning as well as their intention to continue using online education services in the future after the lifting of the restrictive measures. Additionally, the customers’ preferences concerning the most enjoyable distance learning experience were examined, so that they will be available to the distance learning program designers. Descriptive statistical analysis and non-parametric statistical hypothesis tests were conducted in SPSS and R. Most of the respondents had not participated in online courses before the Covid-19 outbreak, 46 % did participate in e-learning courses before the Covid-19 lockdown while 54 % did not and 34.1% respondents prefer face-to-face learning, while 15.9% prefer e-learning. Also, 50% respondents prefer a combination of face-to-face learning and e-learning. Hypothesis tests showed that there are statistically significant differences between users’ preferences as well as regarding their demographic characteristics. Undergraduate and postgraduate university students continue to participate in online learning courses and are willing to invest financial resources and time in this new educational process (?2(4)=10.440, p=0.034), unlike high school students who prefer face-to-face learning (p=0.042). The present study will lead to practical implications, such as the formation of e-learning programs which aim for the best user experience and the best learning outcomes. Also, private educational organizations can include the results in the key elements to implementing a strategic marketing mix.

The purpose of this study is to first identify the predominant factors shaping frontline employee engagement and then to explore the outcomes of the employees’ engagement within the context of the service sector in Lebanon. The main theory used to ground the research is the explanatory power of the Social Exchange Theory (SET). A qualitative ethnographic method was used to explore the salient drivers and outcomes of employees’ engagement. The qualitative approach was implemented by observing and informally interviewing frontline employees, and by gathering documentary data for a greater understanding of this phenomenon. Findings show that supervisor support, organizational support, training, distributive justice and procedural justice appeared to be significant drivers of employee engagement. It was also evident that personal resources and self-efficacy have a significant moderator effect between supervisor support, distributive justice and employee engagement. Moreover, employee organizational commitment, intention to quit and organizational citizenship behaviors revealed to be the direct outcomes of employees’ engagement. This study is among the first undertaken in the Lebanese context. The findings shall help to close the gap in the reported literature about the topic and will serve HR decision makers as new knowledge for future endeavors.
