The Quality of Indian Obesity-Related mHealth Apps: PRECEDE-PROCEED Model–Based Content Analysis
Authors: Selvaraj Shanmuga Nathan , Sriram Arulchelvan 
Published: February 2022

Background
The prevalence of obesity in India is increasing at an alarming rate. Obesity-related mHealth apps have proffered an exciting opportunity to remotely deliver obesity-related information. This opportunity raises the question of whether such apps are truly effective.

Objective
The aim of this study was to identify existing obesity-related mHealth apps in India and evaluate the potential of the apps’ contents to promote health behavior change. This study also aimed to discover the general quality of obesity-related mHealth apps.

Methods
A systematic search for obesity-related mHealth apps was conducted in both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. The features and quality of the sample apps were assessed using the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) and the potential of the sample apps’ contents to promote health behavior change was assessed using the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model (PPM).

Results
A total of 13 apps (11 from the Google Play Store and 2 from the Apple App Store) were considered eligible for the study. The general quality of the 13 apps assessed using MARS resulted in mean scores ranging from 1.8 to 3.7. The bivariate Pearson correlation between the MARS rating and app user rating failed to establish statistically significant results. The multivariate regression analysis result indicated that the PPM factors are significant determinants of health behavior change (F3,9=63.186; P<.001) and 95.5% of the variance (R2=0.955; P<.001) in the dependent variable (health behavior change) can be explained by the independent variables (PPM factors).

Conclusions
In general, mHealth apps are found to be more effective when they are based on theory. The presence of PPM factors in an mHealth app can greatly influence the likelihood of health behavior change among users. So, we suggest mHealth app developers consider this to develop efficient apps. Also, mHealth app developers should consider providing health information from credible sources and indicating the sources of the information, which will increase the perceived credibility of the apps among the users. We strongly recommend health professionals and health organizations be involved in the development of mHealth apps. Future research should include mHealth app users to understand better the apps’ effectiveness in bringing about health behavior change.
Editorial: Good bye exams, hello eportfolio

Published: February 2022

The aim of this special issue of the Irish Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning is to explore eportfolio in Ireland and further afield. An eportfolio can be a tool or technology, a practice, a pedagogical model, an assessment method and a framework for learning (Chen & Black, 2010). There is growing interest in Ireland in the affordances of eportfolio and their potential to positively impact student learning and achievement. However, there was a dearth of empirical research on eportfolio practice in the context of the Irish educational system. This special issue on eportfolio aims to fill this gap in the literature, and enable us to better appreciate eportfolio practice and ground this in research.
Women scholars have been disproportionately affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, in this special issue, the editorial team acknowledged and identified actions we could take to help to mitigate such effects on women scholars. These supports paid off; 83% of the authors in this issue are women.
Creating a special issue of a journal takes community and hard work. The editors thank the IJTEL team, and the authors for their support and perseverance during a challenging time. Through this special issue of eportfolio, we are proud to add to the scholarship on eportfolio and to support women scholars during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Using Reflective Online Diaries to Enhance Teaching, Learning and Assessment in Online Apprenticeships
Authors: Doherty Aine , McLaughlin Christopher 
Published: February 2022

This paper explored the use of reflective online diaries to enhance teaching, learning and assessment in the context of an apprenticeship programme delivered online. An action research mixed methodology was employed; including qualitative reflective practice and a quantitative survey of students enrolled on a sales module over four academic years. Quantitative data analysis included Spearman Rank-Order Correlations, Exploratory Factor Analysis and Path Analysis using IBM AMOS v25 and explored the relationship between each student cohort and other key factors including assessment value, manageability, frequency, student enhancement and module satisfaction.
The outcome is a conceptualisation of a student enhancement and module satisfaction process, in a tested framework model. The findings indicate student enhancement’s crucial role in predicting student satisfaction with the module; the more an apprentice learner perceives a reflective assessment activity will inform different areas of their overall learning, the more likely they are to be satisfied with the module. The use of reflective online diaries also demonstrates their role in overcoming challenges associated with online teaching and learning. The benefits of critical reflective practice for educators are also reinforced, where the outcome can lead to an enhancement in teaching, learning and assessment.
This research significantly adds to growing evidence that ePortfolio based learning has potential to support many higher education objectives connected to achievement of knowledge, skills, and competence by third level learners. The implications advocate for higher education institutions to create opportunities for educators to test new assessment methods, strategies, and tactics.

Published: February 2022

Introduction. The article is devoted to the issues of consistency of the national legislation of Uzbekistan with the Principles of effective public administration in the interests of sustainable development. The practical implementation of these principles is of great importance for increasing the efﬁciency, accountability and transparency of government bodies at all levels in achieving the goal embodied in the 2030 Agenda and, accordingly, national sustainable development goals. The core elements of efﬁciency, accountability and inclusiveness under Goal 16 of sustainable development, are reference points that guide the vector of governance for sustainable development. The paper presents an analysis of the regulatory framework of the public administration system in Uzbekistan, the main directions of administrative reform aimed at creating independent and competent institutions that effectively interact with each other within the framework of the professional civil service. This takes into account national conditions, opportunities and level of development, national strategies and priorities.Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research was formed by general scientiﬁc and special methods of learning of phenomena and processes (analytical survey, generalization, system-oriented, functional-analytical, statistical approaches). Monitoring and analysis of regulations and ofﬁcial documents of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the ﬁeld of public administration, international and national statistical data were carried out.Results. The study summarized and systematized the regulatory framework aimed at ensuring the improvement of the public administration system within the framework of one of the main elements of Sustainable Development Goal 16 - efﬁciency. In general, the established national legal framework was found to meet the requirements for the creation of effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.Discussion and conclusion. The active implementation of legislative and institutional reforms by the government of Uzbekistan initiated the creation of a more open and transparent system of effective governance, contributing to the implementation of the SDGs in the republic. However, the existing problems and challenges indicate that this system is still far from being perfect and requires a systematic approach to create legal and institutional mechanisms for implementing the principles of effective public administration.

Published: February 2022

Background. Secondary postoperative diffuse peritonitis (SPDP) associates with a high incidence of abdominal sepsis and 35–92% mortality rate. An optimal surgical doctrine in this complication in lacking to date.Objectives. An efﬁcacy assessment of vacuum-assisted laparostomy (VAL) with staged lavage relative to relaparotomy on demand (RD) in SPDP patients.Methods. Patient enrolment and analyses were conducted within period 01.11.2017-31.12.2020, totalling for 141 SPDP patients, 77 (54.6%) males and 64 (45.4%) females aged 64.5 (5972.7) years. Cohort I patients (n = 52) had post-abdominal-lavage VAL using Suprasorb® SNP (SNP-1 and SNP-2) equipment and consumables (Lohmann & Rauscher GmbH, Austria). Staged lavage was performed 48-72 h apart. Cohort II (n = 78) had a standard RD technique. Cohort III (n = 11) treatment included RD-to-VAL transition. The endpoint was the inpatient treatment outcome, a favourable completion or death. The additional estimated criteria were complications rate and severity (in ACCORDION-modiﬁed Clavien-Dindo classiﬁcation), sepsis rate, C-reactive protein level, abdominal index dynamics, patient’s intensive-care and total-hospital lengths of stay.Results. Cohort I included 157 staged-lavage VALs, cohort II — 107 RDs, cohort III — 49 operations. The mortality rate was 3/52 (5.8%), 24/78 (30.8%) and 7/11 (63.6%) in cohorts I, II and III (respectively, p < 0.001). No difference was observed in the length of hospital stay, with a shorter intensive care stay after ﬁnal abdominal closure in cohort I. Clavien — Dindo grade 3a complications were observed for 25.0% of cohort I, 60.3 and 45.5% — of cohorts II and III (respectively, p < 0.01); grade 3b complications were 0 (0%), 24.4 and 100% in cohorts I, II and III (respectively, p < 0.001; all 11 patients were reoperated). Multiple organ failure (grade 4b) was reported in 5.8, 30.8 and 63.6% of cohorts I, II and III (respectively, p < 0.001). By end of treatment, sepsis had resolved in 9/11 (81.8%) patients in cohort I, 5/24 (20.8%) and 1/6 (16.7%) — in cohorts II and III (respectively, p = 0.002).Conclusion. Programmed staged-lavage VAL is an optimal surgical treatment tactics in SPDP. Relative to RD, VAL provides a more effective management of local and systemic abdominal sepsis, lower mortality, fewer and less sever complications, shorter intensive care stays after abdominal closure.

Background. Over the past decades, scientiﬁc community is motivated on ﬁnding new anti-inﬂammatory agents with a safe and high-effective proﬁle to manage pathology.Objectives. A study of the anti-inﬂammatory action of novel compounds, 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives, in a classical formalin-induced paw oedema test in white rats.Methods. Originally synthesised 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives were preliminarily subjected to virtual screening using the SwissTargetPrediction toolkit. White laboratory rats (130 animals) were divided into a control (formalin oedema) and intact group, 4 comparison (meloxicam, sodium metamizole, sodium diclofenac and indomethacin) and 7 experiment groups by the number of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives studied. The samples anti-inﬂammatory efﬁcacy was evaluated in acute formalin-induced paw oedema model simulated by right hind limb subplantar injection of 0.1 mL 2% formalin. The studied substances were administered intragastrically at 5 mg/kg 1.5 h prior to oedema induction. Oncometry was assessed quantitatively by limb circumference. Animals were managed in compliance with GOST 33044–2014 “Principles of Good Laboratory Practice” at all experiment steps. Experimental data were analysed statistically to describe quantitative variability with variance σ2, mean limb girth a and standard deviation σ. Data homogeneity and reliability were estimated by variation coefﬁcient V and the Wilcoxon T(W) criterion.Results. As the most anti-inﬂammatory effective, partially hydrogenated mar-040 pyridines (ethyl 4-({[5-cyano-6-{[2-(diphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl]thio}-4-(2-furyl)-2-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-3-yl]carbonyl}amino) benzoate) were shown 33-fold superior to indomethacin, 26-fold — to sodium diclofenac, 25-fold — to meloxicam and 30-fold — to sodium metamizole; mar-037 pyridines (ethyl 4-[({[3-cyano-5-({[4-(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl]amino}carbonyl)-4-(2-furyl)-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-2-yl]thio}acetyl)amino] benzoate) — 17–23-fold superior vs. reference drugs. We also show that mаr-014 (ethyl 4-({[5-cyano-6-({2-[(3,5-dichlorophenyl) amino]-2-oxoethyl}thio)-4-(2-furyl)-2-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-3-yl]carbonyl}amino)benzoate) and mar033 (ethyl 2-[({[3-cyano-5-({[4-(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl]amino}carbonyl)-4-(2-furyl)-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-2-yl]thio}acetyl)amino]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxylate) compounds are 2.7-fold more effective vs. reference drugs.Conclusion. The synthesised 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds reveal high efﬁcacy in experimental assays. Selected novel 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives exhibit a marked anti-inﬂammatory activity and offer value in future preclinical trials.
