Changing User Experience of Wearable Activity Monitors Over 7 Years: Repeat Cross-Sectional Survey Study
Authors: Beckett Darcy , Curtis Rachel , Szeto Kimberley , Maher Carol 
Published: February 2025

Background
Lifestyle behaviors, including physical inactivity, sedentary behavior, poor sleep, and unhealthy diet, significantly impact global population health. Wearable activity trackers (WATs) have emerged as tools to enhance health behaviors; however, their effectiveness and continued use depend on their user experience.

Objective
This study aims to explore changes in user experiences, preferences, and perceived impacts of WATs from 2016 to 2023.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional online survey among an international cohort of adults (n=475, comprising 387 current and 88 former WAT users). Results were compared with a 2016 cross-sectional online survey (n=237, comprising 200 current and 37 former WAT users) using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. The survey examined brand preference, feature usefulness, motivations, perceived health behavior change, social sharing behaviors, and technical issues.

Results
In 2023, Apple (210/475, 44%) and Fitbit (101/475, 21%) were the most commonly used devices, compared with the 2016 survey where Fitbit (160/237, 68%) and Garmin devices (39/237, 17%) were most common. The median usage duration in 2023 was 18 months, significantly longer than the 7 months reported in 2016, with most users planning ongoing use. Users in both survey years reported greater improvements in physical activity than diet or sleep, despite lower improvement in physical activity in 2023 compared with 2016, contrasted with greater perceived improvements in diet and sleep. Social media sharing of WAT data notably rose to 73% (283/387) in 2023 from 35% (70/200) in 2016. However, reports of technical issues and discomfort increased, alongside a decrease in overall positive experiences. There was also a noticeable shift in discontinuation reasons, from having learned everything possible in 2016 to dissatisfaction in 2023.

Conclusions
The study highlights significant shifts in WAT usage, including extended use and evolving preferences for brands and features. The rise in social media sharing indicates a deeper integration of WATs into everyday life. However, user feedback points to a need for enhanced design and functionality despite technological progress. These findings illustrate WAT’s potential in health promotion, emphasizing the need for user-focused design in diverse populations to fully realize their benefits in enhancing health behaviors.

Published: February 2025

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate vital parameters related to severe maternal morbidity due to acute pyelonephritis. MethodsRetrospective cross-sectional study of in-hospital cases under acute pyelonephritis treatment allocated as improvement in ward or Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission from January 2014 to December 2018. Vital data were compared regarding means and predetermined abnormal parameters from warning systems described in literature, statistically significance considered p<0.05. Odds Ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated to examine the effect of the variables on Intensive Care Unit admission.ResultsWe studied 335 cases, no deaths recorded and a 5.9% rate (n=20) of Intensive Care Unit admission; these were younger (22.0±4.8 vs. 24.6±5.3 years; p=0.022) and more frequently in their first pregnancy (55% vs. 9.8%; p<0.001). There was significant difference between groups regarding heart rate (HR), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and respiratory rate (RR) means; under the abnormal classification, these were the most prevalent parameters in the ICU group.Cases were more likely admitted to ICU when HR ≥100bpm (OR=30.5, 95% CI 8.6–108.1), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <50mmHg (OR=16.4, 95% CI 5.3–50.0) and RR≥22bpm (OR=13.4, 95% CI 4.8–37.3). Critical interventions in ICU cases accounted for 65% (n=13) mechanic ventilation, 40% (n=08) of vasopressors administration and 25% (n=05) of hemotherapy. ConclusionAltered HR, RR and SpO2 were the most frequent variables in ICU admission group and HR≥100bpm, DBP<50mmHg and RR≥22bpm were the parameters more likely associated to this outcome.

Community Collaborations and Social Biographies of Museum Collections from Colonial Contexts
Authors: Chipangura Njabulo , Seabela Motsane Getrude 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this article, we look at collections of Zulu beadwork at Manchester Museum and Ditsong National Museum of Cultural History tracing their provenances and social biographies. We present these two institutions as colonial museums founded on similar ideals of presenting objects as cultures of the “other” in absence of object and community agency. In rethinking colonial contexts associated with processes of collecting beadwork, we look at how these museums can be decolonized by collaborating with communities. Decolonization is deployed here as both a theory and a method toward the integration of Indigenous ways of knowing and doing in museum practices. Methodologically, the article highlights decolonial strategies in the form of open, democratic, inclusive, and multivocal engagement that we embraced undertaking the research.
Intertwining the Ethno-botanical Amazonian Collections of Spix and Martius and Beyond
Authors: Herzog-Schröder Gabriele 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This project challenges the division of historical collections into items that belong to the natural sciences and “cultural things.” It develops a conceptual and methodological approach to bridge this divide, which is rooted in nineteenth-century European epistemology. Two hundred years ago, two Bavarian naturalists, the zoologist Johann Baptist Spix and the botanist Carl Friedrich Philipp Martius, returned from a four-year journey through Brazil with ample items of scientific interest. Their assemblages of zoological samples, botanical specimens and ethnographic things were fundamental for the establishment of key scientific collections in Bavaria. The focus here lies on Amazonia, a region that is of great importance for stabilizing the climate on our planet due to its enormous vegetation masses. The examination of one particular ritual mask and the multiple plant materials of which it is constructed (reed, vine and bark) is carried out by intertwining anthropological, botanical, and historical strands of thought—as an approach to reimagine and reconceptualize human–environment relations. The thicket of the Amazon rainforest serves as an image for the interweaving of diverse analytical threads. These reflections on collection items and particular botanical materials are linked with reference to the past and present of two Indigenous societies living in the Amazon today: The Ticuna/Magütá and the Yanomami. The conclusion outlines a vision for a digital exhibition to present the analytical work developed in this text.
A Landscape of Well-Being
Authors: Joy Jody 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The process of removing cultural material to museums can augment the “nature–culture divide” by physically separating “culture” from “nature.” In this article, I consider ways of disrupting this artificial divide through the example of a journey through my local park and an examination of the displays and collections at the nearby museum where several items from the park are now housed. By describing locations like my local park more broadly as “landscapes,” which are the collaborative products of humans and nonhumans, I hope to further disrupt the “nature–culture divide.” I also argue that experiencing “nature” and “culture” has benefited my own well-being at a particularly difficult period in my life. Reconnecting museums, their collections, and activities with the landscapes where artifacts originated could help improve the well-being of others.

Authors: Trejos Buriticá Omar Ivan 
Published: February 2025

The Meaningful Learning Theory, its essence the concept of meaning, and the use of a thinking preferences model, from the idea of education as a communication process, makes it possible that the computer programming area, in its first steps (Programming I and Programming II), has reduced low levels of academic performance in the last six semesters. The strategies adopted in these courses have permitted a notorious improvement in terms of knowledge on programming logic in the students, which can be noticed in the next courses in the same area, and a better use of new technologies in communication and personal relationships among teacher andstudents, improving the academic climate and facilitating the use of a specific knowledge based on what is called meaning concept. All this was used in the learning process of the students who are attending the program Computing and Systems Engineering, at Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira.

Published: February 2025

The global exclusive breastfeeding rate is only 44%, many factors influence failure of exclusive breastfeeding, problem breast milk production contributes to breastfeeding failure. Guided-Imagery is alternative therapy in overcoming stress with minimal cost and minimal side effects, in addition to reducing stress, this therapy can reduce fatigue as well. Oxytocin massage is another alternative to overcome the problem of breast milk production. Oxytocin massage can stimulate oxytocin hormone needed in the process of breast milk production, besides that it can also provide a sense of comfortable to mother and reduce fatigue. This study used Quasy Experimental method with pretest-posttes control group design involving 52 respondents divided into an intervention group (26 respondents) who were given combination of guided-imagery and oxytocin massage 1x in day for 14 days, and a control group (26 respondents) with the purpose of Analyzing the effect of combination of guided imagery and oxytocin massage on breast milk production. Mann-Whitney test showed that significant increase in breast milk production in the intervention group (p = 0.000) after treatment. However, control group did not showed an increase in breast milk production. So, the combination of guided-imagery and oxytocin massage effective in increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers.
Extremely Dense Gas around Little Red Dots and High-redshift Active Galactic Nuclei: A Nonstellar Origin of the Balmer Break and Absorption Features
Authors: Inayoshi Kohei , Maiolino Roberto 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at high redshifts of z ≳ 4–7, powered by accreting black holes with masses of ∼106−8
M
⊙. One remarkable distinction of these JWST-identified AGNs, compared to their low-redshift counterparts, is that at least ∼20% of them present Hα and/or Hβ absorption, which must be associated with extremely dense (≳109 cm−3) gas in the broad-line region or its immediate surroundings. These Balmer absorption features unavoidably imply the presence of a Balmer break caused by the same dense gas. In this Letter, we quantitatively demonstrate that a Balmer break can form in AGN spectra without stellar components, when the accretion disk is heavily embedded in dense neutral gas clumps with densities of ∼109−11 cm−3, where hydrogen atoms are collisionally excited to the n = 2 states and effectively absorb the AGN continuum at the bluer side of the Balmer limit. The nonstellar origin of a Balmer break offers a potential solution to the large stellar masses and densities inferred for little red dots (LRDs) when assuming that their continuum is primarily due to stellar light. Our calculations indicate that the observed Balmer absorption blueshifted by a few hundred km s−1, which suggests the presence of dense outflows in the nucleus at rates exceeding the Eddington value. Other spectral features such as higher equivalent widths of broad Hα emission and presence of O i lines observed in high-redshift AGNs including LRDs align with the predicted signatures of a dense super-Eddington accretion disk.

Authors: Silva Maria Paula Machado , Silva Jaciely Soares da , Abreu Filipe Vieira Santos de 
Published: February 2025

A parasitologia investiga as interações entre parasitos e seus hospedeiros, incluindo as doenças que causam, como esquistossomose, ascaridíase, doença de Chagas e dengue, que continuam a impactar a saúde pública, especialmente no estado de Minas Gerais (MG). Fatores como a falta de saneamento e o desconhecimento sobre prevenção contribuem para a disseminação dessas doenças, afetando principalmente populações de baixa renda. Diante desse cenário, o ensino de parasitologia nas escolas é fundamental para conscientização e prevenção entre estudantes, embora desafios como os métodos tradicionais e a falta de materiais dificultem esse processo. Nessa perspectiva, este artigo objetiva apresentar parte de uma pesquisa realizada em 2021 e 2022 que resultou na confecção e doação de uma coleção biológica para uma escola da rede estadual presente no município de Salinas/MG. As análises realizadas demonstraram um aumento no envolvimento e na curiosidade dos estudantes durante as aulas, e o recurso pedagógico possibilitou ampliar o processo de ensino sobre doenças parasitárias na escola.

Published: February 2025

This was a qualitative study of administrators’ practices towards the inclusion of learners with disabilities in regular schools. The study investigated administrators’ practices towards the inclusion of learners with special education needs in three selected regular schools of Livingstone district. The objective of the study was to establish school administrators’ practices employed to promote the inclusion of learners with special education needs in regular schools. A qualitative case study design was used. The sample comprised 14 participants; 3 head teachers, 3 deputy head teachers, 3 senior teachers and 5 class teachers. Data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions and observation check list. Participants were selected through use of homogeneous and expert purposive sampling technique. Analysis of data was done thematically. The study revealed that the most common school administrators’ practices were monitoring, coaching, sensitization and enrolling of learners with special needs in the schools. Through monitoring the administrators made sure that teachers used the right pedagogies in order to meet individual learners’ needs. Administrators ensured that all learners were treated in the same way regardless of their individual differences. The school administrators sensitized the school community on matters concerning different disabilities. Coaching was done regularly after every monitoring. It was evident that enrolment of learners with disabilities in regular schools was done without following the rightful procedures leading to wrong placement of such learners. All learners were expected to move at the same pace to achieve the set objectives of the lesson which might have disadvantaged the learners with disabilities who needs more time in grasping the concept. The study recommends that school administrators should continue sensitizing the school community on matters of disabilities. School administrator should be trained in special and inclusive education. Ministry of Education should provide necessary equipment and materials needed by learners with disabilities in schools.
