Motivational Factors of Telework
Get PDFThis chapter discusses telework as a motivational option for workers and employers. Telework can be performed as a supplemental or a full-time employment opportunity for local, regional, or global work.

Quilting, Cross-Stitch, and Community: The Technological Enhancement of Artistic Focal Practices in the Work of Chawne Kimber
No full textThis study interrogates the use of technology by an artist, Chawne Kimber, to examine the incorporation of technology and its impact on artistic processes, identity affirmation, and authenticity. With Heideggerian theory serving as a methodological framework, a thorough survey of Kimber’s social media accounts combined with critical analysis of the artwork she exhibited online was conducted in the course of analyzing her use of technology to document artistic practices, engage with and establish artistic communities, and share and display art. Qualitative analysis of Kimber’s social media accounts and her use of social media suggest there is a strong relation between mindful incorporation of technology into an artist’s process and practice and the creation of meaningful work. Based on the results of the evidentiary analysis of Kimber’s thoughts and artistic processes shared on social media, I argue that it is possible to incorporate technology into artistic activity in the endeavor to live a good life as well as a life of authenticity. Furthermore, the intentional integration of technology into artistic activity and focal practices can heighten an artist’s engagement with art while serving as a basis for reconsideration of technology and one’s relationship to it

Improving Adherence to the Non-Pharmacological Management of Hypertension: Reducing Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Patients
No full textProblem Statement: Hypertension remains a major health care problem in the United States despite the available therapies and established guidelines that have been utilized to manage this chronic disease (Davis, 2013). A supportive program focusing on the non- pharmacological management of hypertension will be developed.Purpose: Determine if a motivational intervention that incorporates diet and exercise education and coaching, through the use of tailored text-messages, is effective in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients.Methods: A quantitative research method will be utilized (Creswell, 2014). A pre-and- posttest design will be used in which the blood pressure of hypertensive adults at a primary care office and urgent care setting will be recorded throughout exposure to a four-week intervention. Participants will incorporate the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and a walking regimen into the lifestyle management of hypertension. Education and coaching will be provided throughout the four weeks by utilizing tailored text messages and weekly phone calls. Participant blood pressure will be recorded at home bi-weekly using an automatic blood pressure monitor. Analysis: Paired sample t-tests will be used to evaluate whether participants experienced reductions in blood pressure. The Rapid Eating Assessment for Patients (REAP) Questionnaire will be utilized to evaluate diet and lifestyle factors before and after the intervention (Jarl et al., 2013).Significance: A supportive program focused on the non-pharmacological management of hypertension may be beneficial in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients and improving dietary habits and exercise
