Facebook Promotes More Harassment Social Media Ecosystem, Skill and Marginalized Hijra Identity in Bangladesh
No full textProceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction
OPEN ACCESS FULL TEXT via LINK
Social interaction across multiple online platforms is a challenge for gender and sexual minorities (GSM) due to the stigmatization they face, which increases the complexity of their self-presentation decisions. These online interactions and identity disclosures can be more complicated for GSM in non-Western contexts due to consequentially different audiences and perceived affordances by the users, and limited baseline understanding of the conflation of these two with local norms and the opportunities they practically represent. Using focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews, we engaged with 61 Hijra individuals from Bangladesh, a severely stigmatized GSM from south Asia, to understand their overall online participation and disclosure behaviors through the lens of personal social media ecosystems. We find that along with platform audiences, affordances, and norms, participant skill/knowledge, and cultural influences also impact navigation through multiple platforms, resulting in differential benefits from privacy features. This impacts how Hijra perceive online spaces, and shape their self-presentation and disclosure behaviors over time. Content Warning: This paper discusses graphic contents (e.g. rape and sexual harassment) related to Hijra
Methods for Generating Typologies of Non/use
No full textProceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction
Prior studies of technology non-use demonstrate the need for approaches that go beyond a simple binary distinction between users and non-users. This paper proposes a set of two different methods by which researchers can identify types of non/use relevant to the particular sociotechnical settings they are studying. These methods are demonstrated by applying them to survey data about Facebook non/use. The results demonstrate that the different methods proposed here identify fairly comparable types of non/use. They also illustrate how the two methods make different trade offs between the granularity of the resulting typology and the total sample size. The paper also demonstrates how the different typologies resulting from these methods can be used in predictive modeling, allowing for the two methods to corroborate or disconfirm results from one another. The discussion considers implications and applications of these methods, both for research on technology non/use and for studying social computing more broadly
FIRST-IN-HUMAN VISONE HEART FAILURE STUDY: ASYMPTOMATIC DIAPHRAGMATIC STIMULATION FOR CHRONIC HEART FAILURE WITH REDUCED EJECTION FRACTION: CASE REPORT
Get PDFBackground
Asymptomatic Diaphragmatic Stimulation (ADS) is a novel device-based HF therapy under investigation. ADS gaited with the cardiac cycle transiently modulates intrathoracic pressure, thereby enhancing pre- and afterload, and stroke volume. It is hypothesized that ADS improves cardiac function and exercise tolerance in HFrEF patients. Methods
HFrEF patients (15) underwent laparoscopic implantation of the VisONE ADS system (NCT03484780). Post-implant stimulation levels imperceptible to the patient are determined. At discharge, ADS therapy is turned on. Measures of cardiac function, HF status, QoL and adverse events are assessed every 3 months for 12 months. Results
Results are presented from an initial patient receiving ADS therapy for 6 months. A male patient on optimal medical therapy (age 56, EF 30%, NYHA II); capture threshold confirmed visually during implant was [email protected] ms (patient perception threshold when conscious [email protected] ms). The patient was discharged without complications with ADS active. From discharge to 6 month f/u all relevant measures improved: NT-proBNP (1784 vs. 910_pg/ml); 6MWTD (309 vs 347 m); HR (85 vs 75 bpm); SF36 summary score (44.4 to 58.2); and device-based activity (46 vs 96 a.u.). Conclusion
This case study highlights the promise of ADS by demonstrating significant improvements to key heart failure measures without therapy related adverse events. Entire cohort results pending study completion and final statistical analysis
Illuminating the Path, Inspiring the Future, the Power of a Nurse’s Voice
No full textThis article describes the vital role and contribution that nurses serving on boards of directors can make to their communities. It emphasizes appreciative leadership and the relevance and influence of a shared governance model in adoption of this goal, and outlines the steps and strategies employed by Parkview Health, one of the American Nurses Foundation’s Magnet®/Pathway Nurses on Boards pilot institutions, to raise awareness and increase the participation of nurses on boards within the community
The Value of Archives
No full textThis report was created to quantify and qualify the value of historic archives managed by the Parkview Library within the Institutional Repository (IR) and/or our internal platform Sharepoint.
Parkview Hospital has a long history and with an accumulation of documents and photographs. These historic materials (digital and physical) reside between three Parkview departments: Marketing, Media Services, and the Resource Library. The Parkview Resource Library receives two or three requests for archival materials annually. While this is obviously a small frequency, the request is coming from our largest stakeholders in the organization. Plus the process of quickly retrieving these historic materials is difficult- several Parkview departments reaching out to each other to track down photographs. During our most recent project of tracking down photographs of past Parkview board members, a discussion between departments suggested that the Parkview Resource Library manage and house all the historic materials. These materials could be housed internally on our Intranet SharePoint or housed publicly on our Research Repository. The proposal is to establish a useful and curated method for easy access/retrieval for these historic materials. Additionally, this proposal will be weighed with potential benefits and known drawbacks
Prevalence, Mechanisms, and Implications of Gastrointestinal Symptoms in COVID-19
No full textCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The infection started as an outbreak of pneumonia-like symptoms in Wuhan, China. Within a few weeks, it spread across the entire globe resulting in millions of cases and thousands of deaths. While respiratory symptoms and complications are well-defined and can be severe, non-respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 are increasingly being recognized. Gastrointestinal manifestations such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain have been added to the list of common COVID-19 symptoms. Their prevalence has been increasing, probably due to increased recognition and experience with the pandemic. Furthermore, diarrhea and stool testing may change prevalence and transmission rates due to suspicion for fecal-oral transmission of the COVID-19. Due to this risk, various countries have started testing wastewater and sewage systems to examine its role in the spread of SARS-CoV-2 among communities. In this review article, we describe the common gastrointestinal manifestations in COVID-19, their prevalence based upon the current literature, and highlight the importance of early recognition and prompt attention. We also note the role of fecal-oral transmission. Furthermore, the mechanisms of these symptoms, the role of medications, and potential contributing factors are also elaborated
The role of HEXACO personality traits in different kinds of sexting: A cross-cultural study in 10 countries
No full textAbstract Sexting has been defined as sharing sexually suggestive content (i.e., sexts) via Internet or smartphone. To date, only a few studies investigated the role of personality traits in relation to sending or receiving sexts, and most of them used the Five Factor Model of Personality. No studies applied the theoretical model of HEXACO six personality traits (i.e., honesty-humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) when examining different types of sexting (i.e., sending own sexts, risky sexting, sharing sexts from someone else without his/her permission, sexting under pressure). Thus, this is the first study that, using a cross-cultural perspective, investigated HEXACO personality predictors of sexting behaviors considered as a multidimensional construct. A total of 5542 participants from 13 to 30 years old (Mage = 20.36; SDage = 3.67; 60.4% girls and 39.6% boys) from 10 different countries participated in the study. Participants completed the sexting behaviors questionnaire and the HEXACO personality inventory. Four hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to investigate which HEXACO personality traits predicted different sexting behaviors, controlling for country, biological sex, age, sexual identity status, and dating relationship status. Results showed that honesty-humility and conscientiousness were negatively predictive of all investigated sexting behaviors. Emotionality and extraversion were positively related, and agreeableness was negatively related to sending own sexts and risky sexting. Finally, openness to experience was negatively related to sharing sexts from someone else without his/her consent and sexting under pressure. Results have implications for the development and implementation of sexual education and prevention programs aimed towards adolescents and young adults. Highlights • This cross-cultural investigated which HEXACO personality traits predicted sexting.• Low honesty/humility and low conscientiousness predicted all sexting behaviors.• Low emotionality predicted risky sexting.• High extraversion and low agreeableness predicted experimental and risky sexting.• Low openness to experience predicted aggravated sexting
Can nurses help improve self-care of patients living with atrial fibrillation? A focus group study exploring patients\u27 disease knowledge gaps.
No full textAims: To identify knowledge gaps and preferences for educational material to improve nurse-patient communication and self-care.
Design: Using a mixed-methods design, we conducted focus groups and quantitative surveys.
Methods: We conducted three focus groups with atrial fibrillation (AF) patients and support persons (
Results: Although most participants had adequate health literacy, most reported gaps in AF knowledge. Participants lacked disease-related knowledge and were unsure how to manage health behaviours (e.g. diet and exercise). Few felt they received adequate education from their healthcare provider. Results emphasize the need for consistent information from nursing staff, in lay language, via both electronic and printed means
