Investigating Patients’ Intention to Continue Using Teleconsultation to Anticipate Postcrisis Momentum: Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Grenier Ouimet Antoine , Wagner Gerit , Raymond Louis , Pare Guy
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 crisis has drastically changed care delivery with teleconsultation platforms experiencing substantial spikes in demand, helping patients and care providers avoid infections and maintain health care services. Beyond the current pandemic, teleconsultation is considered a significant opportunity to address persistent health system challenges, including accessibility, continuity, and cost of care, while ensuring quality.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims at identifying the determinants of patients’ intention to continue using a teleconsultation platform. It extends prior research on information technology use continuance intention and teleconsultation services.

METHODS

Data was collected in November 2018 and May 2019 with Canadian patients who had access to a teleconsultation platform. Measures included patients’ intention to continue their use; teleconsultation usefulness; teleconsultation quality; patients’ trust toward the digital platform, its provider. and health care professionals; and confirmation of patients’ expectations toward teleconsultation. We used structural equation modeling employing the partial least squares component-based technique to test our research model and hypotheses.

RESULTS

We analyzed a sample of 178 participants who had used teleconsultation services. Our findings revealed that confirmation of expectations had the greatest influence on continuance intention (total effects=0.722; P<.001), followed by usefulness (total effects=0.587; P<.001) and quality (total effects=0.511; P<.001). Usefulness (β=.60; P<.001) and quality (β=.34; P=.01) had direct effects on the dependent variable. The confirmation of expectations had direct effects both on usefulness (β=.56; P<.001) and quality (β=.75; P<.001) in addition to having an indirect effect on usefulness (indirect effects=0.282; P<.001). Last, quality directly influenced usefulness (β=.34; P=.002) and trust (β=.88; P<.001). Trust does not play a role in the context under study.

CONCLUSIONS

Teleconsultation is central to care going forward, and it represents a significant lever for an improved, digital delivery of health care in the future. We believe that our findings will help drive long-term teleconsultation adoption and use, including in the aftermath of the current COVID-19 crisis, so that general care improvement and greater preparedness for exceptional situations can be achieved.
The Cusp of Being: Further Studies on the Becoming of Being and Its Relationship to Technology
Authors: Rivers Theodore John
Published: July 2020

Technological applications must be differentiated from technological preconditions because the former are attributes thereof, but the latter are ontological as essential fundamentals. And this distinction is of the utmost importance for an explanation not only how technology originates, but why it originates. The how of technology is explainable by the relationship between non-being and being, and the why is explainable by the open relationship, expressed as a dependency, within the ontological gap that lies within us. It is this gap or this openness that enables possibilities that lie latent within technology’s non-being to appear as its being, and thereby empowering technology to come into the world, that is, the why posits the how. This understanding reveals the full and unconvoluted meaning of technology because when expressed in this way, it is the equivalent for the totality of human reality that is manifested through human culture. Because technology is fundamental to everything we do, it is by means of our humanity that technology’s non-being is empowered to become what it is.

Authors: Mantili Rai
Published: July 2020

The objectives of this study is to examine the partnership agreement model between SMEs and Large Enterprises in creating shared prosperity and to examine the principles’ application of the agreement in partnership that can provide protection for SMEs in Indonesia. The research method used in this study is analytical descriptive which aims to obtain a comprehensive picture of the partnership agreement in Indonesia. Data about the business partnership agreement and its implementation are then analyzed to answer the research problem. Based on analysis, the results of this study showed that 1) the partnership agreement model between SMEs and Large Enterprises in creating shared prosperity must begin with efforts to apply the principles of the agreement and business ethics in the partnership agreement. 2) the application of the principles of agreement in partnership in practice has not yet run optimally, there are still many partnership agreements that have been deviated from the contents of the agreement. In this case the role of government is needed to provide protection to the SME group and also the Large Business group to realize social responsibility for the progress of the UKM business group.
Crowdfunding Music and the Democratization of Economic and Social Capital
Authors: Bannerman Sara
Published: July 2020

Background Does crowdfunding democratize access to economic and social capital for musicians? This article discusses inequality in the distribution of economic and social capital, drawing on the concept of “networked governance.”

Analysis The article examines the ways in which crowdfunding distributes economic and social capital, drawing on a content analysis of Kickstarter profiles in the music category as well as surveys and interviews of Kickstarter users, policymakers, and music industry representatives.

Conclusion and implications The article concludes that Kickstarter’s successes in democratizing economic and social capital for users are modest. The networked governance of cultural funding facilitates the appropriation of economic and social capital by Kickstarter’s owners, deepening, rather than ameliorating, the inequalities of cultural production.
Caring Time in a Hybrid Digital Media System: The Tragically Hip, Public Broadcasting, and Networked Media Events
Authors: Poyntz Stuart R. , Lesage Frédérik
Published: July 2020

Background This article tackles the concern that meaningful collective experiences of large-scale media events are no longer possible because contemporary hybrid digital media systems disrupt the temporal coordinating function, or formatting, traditionally performed by broadcast media.

Analysis Drawing from media events literature, this article puts forward a conception of caring time to show that while the means for sharing the temporality of media events have changed, these events also remain a telling site for collective experience. The authors detail an empirical case study to support their argument.

Conclusion and implications Careful analysis of the Tragically Hip’s Man Machine Poem event shows how the CBC used social media to manage temporal proxemics for the concert in a way that called national publics into being.

Authors: Velikanov Arseniy A. , Stoljarova Anna A. , Protasov Evgeniy A. , Zelenskaya Irina A. , Lubinskaya Ekaterina I.
Published: July 2020

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is known to be one of the most important surgical methods for treating coronary heart disease (CHD) which significantly reduces mortality and improves the quality of life of patients. In most cases, surgical intervention is a serious lifethreatening event and also a strong stress factor that affects the patients mental state. For this reason, there is an urgent need for psychological support for patients with CHD who are preparing for CABG. Therefore, when developing rehabilitation programmes and optimising psychodiagnostic and psychocorrectional measures, it is very important to study the psychoemotional characteristics of patients with CHD prior to CABG surgery. The objective of the present research was to study the dynamics of psychoemotional characteristics (including manifestations of asthenia, anxiety and psychopathological symptoms) in the patients with CHD during their stay in the cardiology hospital prior to CABG surgery. The study used a clinical-psychological method and an experimentalpsychological method, including the Scale of Asthenic State (SAS), Integrative Anxiety Test (IAT), Symptom Check List-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), and the Big Five Personality Test. A comparative study of the asthenic state in the patients with CHD before and after myocardial revascularisation during inpatient treatment revealed the presence of a more pronounced asthenic component in the postoperative period as compared with the results obtained at the preoperative stage. The patients with CHD prior to CABG during inpatient treatment had a higher level of anxiety as compared with the postoperative stage, especially regarding the general level of state anxiety, including emotional discomfort and social defence reactions. In the postoperative period, a higher rate of the asthenic component was observed in the structure of state anxiety. A comparative study of the severity of psychopathological symptoms in the patients with CHD prior to CABG surgery and during the postoperative period recorded more intense manifestations of anxiety, obsessiveness and compulsiveness as well as paranoid tendencies before the operation. In the structure of personal characteristics of the patients with CHD during their stay in the cardiology hospital prior to CABG surgery, the lowest indicators, on average, were Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. The results obtained are crucial for planning psychological intervention for patients with CHD.

Political Discourse, Code-Switching, and Ideology
Authors: Moody Stephanie , Eslami Zohreh R.
Published: July 2020

Language and Ideology is an area of critical discourse analysis that has increasingly gained importance in the linguistic sciences. The vast influence of the media has provided a need for the explicit analysis of common linguistic mechanisms, particularly those in political discourse. Codeswitching, general pattern in a speech community of switching between two or more available languages or dialects with respect to certain extralinguistic factors (Blom & Gumperz 1972) is strategically employed by politicians to gain support for elections (Jarraya 2013; Craig 2013). Senator Tim Kaine was one of the first White politicians to engage in code-switching during the 2016 presidential election, however his use of Spanish when engaging in political discourse was met with great resistance and skepticism by the media and voters, many of whom felt that he was pandering to Spanish-speaking citizens. Using a language ideologies framework, the present paper seeks to determine how code-switching was used as a political discourse device by Senator Kaine, and how its use varied based on the context of each speech. To answer these questions, four speeches given by Senator Tim Kaine during the 2016 presidential campaign were transcribed and translated. Following descriptive coding procedures by Saldaña (2015), two raters coded instances of codeswitching in each speech for key features of political discourse: a) dissemination of personal information or background; b) repetition; c) hyperbole; d) metaphor; e) metonymy; f) comparisons; 1. promises for the future; h) solidarity; i) legitimization of self as authority; and j) florid verbiage. Results show that Senator Kaine relied most heavily on code-switching during his speech in Miami, Florida, and used it as a tactic to gain support and build solidarity between himself and members of the audience. Additionally, Senator Kaine engaged in much repetition through code-switching to emphasize key points of his speech and political goals. The present study illustrates how codeswitching can be used to cultivate political favor, forge alliances, and demonstrate cultural similarities between White politicians and biand multilingual voters.

ENTRE FRESTAS E ARESTAS: LITERATURA E A MÚSICA NO CONTO MACHADIANO
Authors: Graciano Borges Igor Alexandre Barcelos , Pereira Danglei De Castro
Published: July 2020

O presente trabalho analisa indícios de diálogo entre literatura e música no conto intitulado: “Trio em lá menor”, do escritor Machado de Assis. A análise tem como objetivo entender como elementos da teoria musical, como, por exemplo, as nomenclaturas e os conceitos, assim como as ideias de resolução de campo harmônico, se entrelaçam à escrita do texto, ultrapassando a ideia da mera justificativa do andamento de leitura do conto, constituindo-se parte integrante do material textual. A relação entre as artes irmãs proporciona um caleidoscópio de possibilidades, nos parece que o autor fez uso de ideias de resolução de campo harmônico, entre outras do universo musical, para compor, ou melhor, escrever seu texto, criando uma atmosfera um pouco movediça, devido ao olhar cauteloso do escritor no que concerne ao diálogo e, na medida em que as questões amorosas vão se resolvendo seria, hipoteticamente, como se o campo harmônico fosse sendo resolvido, uma espécie de coadunação rizomática musico-literária.

Pensar sobre a questão de gênero, particularmente no ambiente escolar, permite entender como as pessoas são engeneradas ao longo de suas vidas, a partir de participar de processos de construção onde discursos e práticas sociais institucionalizados tecem redes de significado nas quais diferentes posições são negociadas permanentemente. Este trabalho tenta dar conta de tratamento que livros didáticos do sujeito Saúde e Adolescência, do ensino médio, fazem da perspectiva de gênero, e como linguagem, informação e fotografias que estão incluídos lá contribuem para a formação das subjetividades dos jovens a que se dirigem. Textos escolares, em nosso país, não estão sujeitos a nenhuma revisão que contemple a concordância do conteúdo com os regulamentos vigentes.

Principios físicoquímicos de los colorantes utilizados en microbiología Principios físicoquímicos de los colorantes
Authors: Corrales Ramírez Lucía Constanza , Caycedo Lozano Liliana
Published: July 2020

La utilización de los colorantes en los procesos de identificación en microbiología se fundamenta en las propiedades fisicoquímicas de estas sustancias. En el campo de la física, la óptica explica cómo todos los objetos son observables dependiendo de las longitudes de onda que se absorben y se transmiten dentro del denominado “espectro visible”. Dichas transiciones se deben, a su vez, a los compuestos químicos y a los movimientos electrónicos dentro de los átomos. Así mismo, cuando interacciona un colorante con una célula o un tejido, ocurren reacciones que dependen de grupos químicos  funcionales denominados cromóforos y auxocromos.

Dependiendo de los compuestos químicos que los constituyen, los colorantes pueden ser ácidos, básicos o neutros y esta connotación se debe a la parte activa del colorante y a la reacción que ocasiona sobre las células microbianas.

De otra parte, las tinciones en microbiología pueden ser simples o diferenciales, dependiendo si toda la muestra se tiñe de uno o más colorantes. En el primer caso se encuentra el ejemplo de la coloración con azul de lactofenol y en el segundo, la coloración de Gram.

En el presente artículo se reseñan las principales coloraciones utilizadas en microbiología y se explican los fundamentos físicos y químicos de dichos procesos.

Authors: Ahmed Mohammed F. , Faisal Raid M.
Published: July 2020

There is a continuous need to assess Groundwater Quality (GWQ) for human beneficial uses especially in areas suffering a shortage of nearby surface water. This study aims to assess GWQ of 56 wells located at Al-Shekhan area for drinking, irrigation, and livestock purposes. Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) technique is used to extract weights of parameters that are needed in the calculation of Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) technique. Maps are created using Geographical Information Systems (GIS), and these maps shows the classes of suitable areas for each purpose depending upon the calculated indices which are extracted from SAW technique. The results show that the final map classifies the suitable parts according to the drinking, irrigation and livestock purposes, and it shows that the north eastern part of the studied area is suitable for irrigation and livestock only. A model of GIS and AHP is built to assess the suitability of GWQ in Al-Shekhan area, and can be a raw model to be applied to assess GWQ in any other area after inserting the values of their parameters.

Forecasting techniques in construction industry: earned value indicators and performance models
Authors: Jaber Firas K. , Jasim Nidal A. , Al-Zwainy Faiq M.
Published: July 2020

Machine Learning Regression Techniques (MLRT) as a shrewd method can be utilized in this study being exceptionally fruitful in demonstrating non-linear and the interrelationships among them in problems of construction projects such as the earned value indexes for tall buildings projects in Republic of Iraq. Three forecasting models were developed to foresee Schedule Performance Index (SPI) as first model, Cost Performance Index (CPI) as a second model, and the third model is To Complete Cost Performance Indicator (TCPI) in Bismayah New City was chosen as a case study. The methodology is mainly impacted by the deciding various components (variables) which impact on the earned value analysis, six free factors (X1: BAC, Budget at Completion; X2: AC, Actual Cost; X3: A%, Actual Percentage; X4: EV, Earned Value; X5: P%, Planning Percentage, and X6: PV, Planning Value) were self-assertively assigned and agreeably depicted for per tall buildings projects. It was found that the MLRT showed good results of estimation in terms of correlation coefficient (R) generated by MLR models for SPI and CPI and TCPI where the R were 85.5%, 89.2%, and 86.3% respectively. At long last, a result tends to be presumed that these models show a brilliant concurrence with the genuine estimations.

„Tote Aber Leben Länger“. The Second Viennese school and its place in the reflections of selected composers from the second half of the twentieth century (Lutosławski, Ligeti, Lachenmann, Harvey)
Authors: Schreiber Ewa
Published: July 2020

The juxtaposition of classicism and actuality is a good description of the
ambiguous position occupied by the Second Viennese School not only in the
eyes of the scholars who research it, but also of composers who can be
regarded as its successors. However, in the works and writings originating
from the Second Viennese School we find a concentration of problems
encountered by contemporary composers, especially the modernist ones. The
aim of this article is to examine the role played by the representatives of
the Second Viennese School in the reflections of selected twentieth-century
composers, concerning their place in music history, the expressive
categories present in their work, and their ambiguous attitude to tonality.
A separate subject to be explored is the discourse used by contemporary
composers to describe the music of their predecessors, full of both
analytical categories and vivid metaphors. The quoted composers (Witold
Lutos?awski, Gy?rgy Ligeti, Helmut Lachenmann and Jonathan Harvey) may be
identified with more-or-less radical modernist views. This article is guided
by the thinking of Gianmario Borio and the idea of ?historical
appropriation?, according to which analysis of the works of the past helps
composers to create their own artistic identities and to define their own
place in the history of music.
Hyperfinite logics and non-standard extensions of Boolean algebras
Authors: Ferenczi Miklós
Published: July 2020

Infinitary propositional logics, i.e., propositional logics with infinite
conjunction and disjunction, have some deficiencies, e.g., these logics fail
to be compact or complete, in general. Such kind of infinitary propositional
logics are introduced, called hyperfinite logics, which are defined in a
non-standard framework of non-standard analysis and have hyperfinite
conjunctions and disjunctions. They have more nice properties than
infinitary logics have, in general. Furthermore, non-standard extensions of
Boolean algebras are investigated. These algebras can be regarded as
algebraizations of hyperfinite logics, they have several unusual properties.
These Boolean algebras are closed under the hyperfinite sums and products,
they are representable by hyperfinitely closed Boolean set algebras and they
are omega-compact. It is proved that standard Boolean algebras are
representable by Boolean set algebras with a hyperfinite unit.
Generalizations of certain well known inequalities for polynomials
Authors: Jain V.K.
Published: July 2020

We obtain a generalization of Bernstein?s result that if p(z) and q(z) are
two polynomials with degree of p(z) not exceeding that of q(z) and q(z) has
all its zeros in |z| ? 1, with |p(z)| ? |q(z)|, |z| = 1, then |p ?(z)| ? |q
?(z)|, |z| = 1, and use the generalization so obtained to obtain two more
generalizations. Three generalizations together turn out to be
generalizations of many well known inequalities for polynomials, including
Bernstein?s inequality and inequality of the well known Erdos-Lax theorem.

Approximation by modified Păltănea operators
Authors: Gupta Vijay , Agrawal P.N.
Published: July 2020

We discuss some approximation properties of hybrid genuine operators. We find
central moments using the concept of moment generating function. A
quantitative Voronovskaya and Gruss-Voronovskaya type theorem are proven.
Also, we obtain the degree of approximation of the considered operators by
means of the second order Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness.
Experimental investigation of solar compound parabolic collector using Al2O3/H2O nanofluid in a subtropical climate
Authors: Akhtar Faria , Ali Muzaffar , Sheikh Nadeem , Shehryar Muhammad
Published: July 2020

Different solar concentrator technologies are used for low medium range temperature applications. In this paper, a non-tracking compound parabolic collector with a nanofluid is experimentally analyzed under real climate conditions of a typical sub-tropical climate Taxila, Pakistan. The collector used for the experimentation has concentration ratio of 4.17, collector area of 0.828 m2 and half acceptance angle of 24?. The heat transfer fluid used for the study is water based nanofluid with particles of Al2O3. The investigation is carried out at three different volumetric concentrations (0.025%, 0.05%, and 0.075%) of nanofluids at flowrates of 0.01 kg/s, 0.02 kg/s, 0.05 kg/s, and 0.07 kg/s are compared with base fluid (water). Comparison of system thermal efficiency, solar heat gain, and temperature difference is presented for different selected days in real climate conditions during months of March to May. It is observed that performance of the compound parabolic collector is improved by 8%, 11%, 14%, and 19%, respectively, at considered flow rates compared to water.
Key Challenges in the Planning and Management of Tourism in Marine Environments
Authors: Swarbrooke Professor John
Published: July 2020

Throughout much of this text to date I have suggested that the public sector needs to be doing more to plan and manage tourism to reduce its negative impacts on the marine environment. However, I have never said this would be easy and in the Preface, I outlined some of the complexities involved in the planning and management of tourism of the oceans, from the beaches and shoreline to the most remote areas of open sea. In this chapter we will explore some of these complexities and endeavour to look beyond them to see how we might try to develop a model of best practice for the future. Planning and management is obviously a wide field so I will be focusing upon three main areas of activity as follows: - The planning process for tourism including master planning of new resorts, zoning of land and sea for various uses and the system for evaluating and making decisions on proposed new developments. - The ways in which the operations of the tourism industry are managed by the public sector, including legislation and regulations and their enforcement as well as policies on infrastructure development and management. - Emergency planning and crisis management in the event of various kinds of natural disasters which is an important issue in relation to tourism.
Postscript - The COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Swarbrooke Professor John
Published: July 2020

I completed the main text of this book a few days before Coronavirus, as it was called at the beginning, started to become a major story in the news in Europe. Now, just over three months later, as the book is about go for printing it seems as if the COVID-19 pandemic, as it is now called, is about the only story in the world’s media. In the circumstances, it seems important that I say something about the virus and its potential impact on the subject of this book. As I write these words, in early Ma y 2020, the pandemic has killed at least 264,000 people worldwide and some 3.8 million people are confirmed to have been infected, although the actual number is likely to be significantly higher as many people who have had the virus may not have had it confirmed through testing. To put this in context, the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918 killed an estimated 50 million people, while the highly publicised outbreak of SARS in 2003 killed fewer than 1,000 people. The 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in Africa resulted in the deaths of an estimated 11,300 people. So COVID-19 is far and away the largest pandemic, in terms of deaths, to hit the world in just over a century. Of course, we do not yet know the final death toll from it, for as I write it is still continuing. Furthermore, unlike SARS and Ebola this virus is a true pandemic, affecting virtually every part of the planet where human beings live.
Marine Litter and Waste and Tourism by C Michael Hall
Authors: Hall C Michael
Published: July 2020

Marine litter and waste have been found at all ocean depths (Pham et al. 2014) and in the most remote islands (Lavers & Bond, 2017) and form one of the most important contemporary issues facing the marine environment. Growing awareness of the impacts of marine plastics (Bergmann et al., 2015), together with concerns over the environmental effects of cruise ships, especially in relation to sewage discharge (Hall et al., 2017), has meant that marine waste has gained a high media profile and generated substantial public awareness and concern. Three-quarters of all marine litter is composed of plastic and this has become a focus for government and consumer action (UNEP, 2019). However, it is important to note that although there is growing awareness of plastics in the marine environment, and particularly their impact on wildlife and beach composition, the reality is that the predominance of plastics in marine litter is not necessarily the result of relatively more plastics compared to other waste in the oceans, but its durability (Andrady, 2015).
Cânone e mercado editorial: uma reflexão sobre a vitalidade de Frankenstein, de Mary Shelley
Authors: Ferreira Eliane Aparecida Galvão Ribeiro , Rocha Guilherme Magri da
Published: July 2020

Este artigo tem como propósito apresentar ao leitor uma possibilidade de análise do romance Frankenstein ou o Prometeu Moderno (1818), de Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851), tendo como foco os paratextos da edição publicada pela DarkSide em 2017, traduzida por Márcia Xavier de Brito. Justifica-se a escolha dessa edição, pois eleita, em 2019, como atraente pelos alunos do primeiro ano do curso de Letras da Universidade Estadual Paulista – UNESP, Câmpus de Assis-SP. Na análise da obra de Shelley, busca-se, a partir do aporte teórico da Estética da Recepção (JAUSS, 1994; ISER, 1996 e 1999), refletir sobre sua vitalidade, enquanto marco no cânone ocidental, pois se configurou, conforme José Paulo Paes (1985), como primeiro romance de ficção científica. Na análise dos paratextos da edição da DarkSide (SHELLEY, 2017), pretende-se detectar, em consonância com Roger Chartier (2014) e Gerard Genette (2009), se modificam a relação do leitor com o material escrito.
Percursos critico-teóricos das listas na literatura
Authors: Sá Luiz Fernando Ferreira
Published: July 2020

O presente artigo visa a problematizar os efeitos do uso de listas na literatura e serve para ampliar e esclarecer os limites formais e interpretativos da lista: questões relativas à denominação e à definição, questões de dimensão, questões relativas ao fechamento/abertura, questões relativas aos atos de leitura, questões hermenêuticas. E mais: A lista carrega o leitor para dentro ou para fora do texto literário ou quais seriam os pontos de partida e chegada do uso de listas na literatura? Para tanto, serão trabalhados autores que teorizaram direta ou indiretamente sobre as listas e cujo pensamento tem sido referência em contextos internacionais, como Umberto Eco, Philippe Hamon, Jack Goody, Madeleine Jeay, Bernard Sève, entre outros.

COVID-19 harms the implementation of learning at various levels, including at Islamic universities. Students at Islamic universities must use e-learning for several months until the COVID-19 outbreak ends. Students are also required to have Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) to solve problems. They are also required to have Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB) related to COVID-19. Previous research has developed a Higher-Order Thinking Skills Assessment based on Environmental Problem (HOTS-AEP). The purpose of this research was to describe an implementation of e-learning, HOTS, and PEB on students during the COVID-19 outbreak. The method used was descriptive through the survey technique. This research was conducted in March 2020. The instruments used were questionnaires on e-learning and HOTS-AEP related to COVID-19 (HOTS-AEP-COVID-19). Meanwhile, to measure PEB, PEB-COVID-19 was used. All instruments were constructed using Google Form and were distributed to 137 respondents via social media. The results showed that the implementation of e-learning was generally effective (27.74%) and quite effective (43.07%) even though some problems were encountered. Other results showed that students’ HOTS were in the poor category (26.20) while the PEB was in the excellent category (84.82). it can be concluded that e-learning during the COVID-19 outbreak has gone well although some innovations are needed. Besides that, HOTS needs to be improved while PEB needs to be maintained.
