In this study, data collection method used was questionnaire to reach more number of participants in a short time. Questionnaire form prepared in accordance with purpose of study was designed through “Google Forms”. During the data collection process, due to the restrictions applied globally, the link sharing with the research questions and the text containing the information about the research were sent to the e-mail addresses of the potential participants. Prior to questionnaire questions, information transmission was made in relation to purpoes of study. Data collection period covers dates of 1st of June, 2020 to 31st of March 2021. Questionnaires sent after these dates were not evaluated. Mail was sent to 871 participants in order for them to take part in the research and among them, 682 participants (78.3%) have returned back. Frequency and percentage distributions of data obtained from participants were calculated. When the results obtained from the research are evaluated in general, it is seen that the pandemic process has an important effect on the realization of interests that have been postponed due to lack of time, in the process of self-discovery of individuals and in having new experiences, and in breaking the prejudice against the use of technology. Key words: Covid-19, online education, technology use, positive impacts, new experiences, self-discovery.

Heart disease is a non-communicable disease and the number 1 cause of death in Indonesia. According to WHO predictions, heart disease will cause 11 million deaths in 2020. Bad lifestyle and unhealthy consumption patterns of modern society are the causes of this disease experienced by many people. Lack of knowledge about heart conditions and the potential dangers cause heart disease attacks before any preventive measures are taken. This study aims to produce a system for Predicting Heart Disease, which benefits to prevent and reduce the number of deaths caused by heart disease. The use of technology in the health sector has been widely practiced in various places and one of the advanced technologies is machine learning. Machine learning technology can be used to predict the potential patients of heart disease by implementing the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). The algorithm results in 65.93% for its accuracy, which is then improved to 82.41% due to the z-score normalization. It shows that z-score can noticeably improve the accuracy of the KNN algorithm. The system is developed based on a website that uses the Flask micro-framework so that development is more efficient. Flask is a micro-framework based on the Python programming language that does not contain many tools and libraries, so it is more portable and does not utilize a lot of resources.

Este trabalho de revisão sistemática da literatura visa analisar as experiências pedagógicas com recurso a tecnologias em Portugal, entre os anos setenta do século XX e a atualidade, procurando compreender como foram sendo introduzidas na escola ao longo de cerca de cinquenta anos. Foram selecionados e analisados 47 artigos das bases de indexação SCOPUS, SCIELO e Web of Science. Verificou-se que, apesar de algum conservadorismo ainda na utilização da tecnologia, muito centrada no seu uso instrumental, nos anos mais recentes têm-se concretizado mais práticas com intencionalidade pedagógica e mais focadas na participação ativa dos estudantes. Constatou-se também a importância crescente da formação docente neste domínio das tecnologias digitais, com o objetivo de tornar os professores mais competentes e fluentes no uso pedagógico do digital. This systematic literature review aims to analyze the pedagogical experiences with the use of technologies in Portugal between the seventies of the twentieth century and today. It sought to understand how they were introduced into school over fifty years. A total of 47 articles were selected and analyzed from the SCOPUS, SCIELO and Web of Science indexing databases. It was found that, despite a certain conservatism very focused on the instrumental use of technology, more practices with pedagogical intent and more focused on the active participation of students have been implemented in recent years, highlighting the growing importance of teacher training in this field of digital technologies, with the aim of making teachers more competent and fluent in the pedagogical use of digital tools. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Despite the increased use of technology in higher education classrooms, we need a better understanding of pedagogical strategies that improve student ability to produce quality scholarly digital content in the humanities. This research was designed to examine student learning through scholarly digital storytelling, a technology-enhanced assessment. The researcher collected data during and after an interdisciplinary, graduate scholarly digital storytelling course, including student work, student reflections, and individual interviews, to examine experiences at key points throughout the learning process. The results indicate that this pedagogical approach, when carefully scaffolded alongside formative feedback and ongoing student support, can increase student capacity—including digital agency, problem-solving skills, and digital knowledge production skills—to produce scholarly digital work in the humanities. Students can also learn to understand the interplay between disciplinary learning and digital skills and the ways in which both are essential for scholarly communication within and beyond the classroom.

The goal of this study was to look at the perspectives of administrators at public and private secondary and high schools in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus on the use of technology in education. To adequately study this topic, a qualitative method was used with semi-structured interview questions as the data-gathering technique. The study's participants were 34 administrators who worked during the Spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. These individuals were chosen at random from the several schools that volunteered to take part in this study. "Zoom and Google Meet" applications were used to conduct the interviews with the participants. This study included more females than males, with the bulk of participants coming from public schools. According to the findings, the majority of students took part in visual tracking Slide Share presentations. Finally, the data revealed certain benefits of using technology, such as quick learning and access to materials, as well as some drawbacks. Regarding the drawbacks, most participants called for an increase in the standard of student assessment. Teachers may be skeptical of the feedback they receive during evaluations that are not done on camera. Keywords: Administrators, feedback, technology usage, education.

The purpose of this study is to classify mobile payment (m-payment) users’ behavior and determine the relative importance of influencing factors by using support vector machine and logistic regression. By using survey data of 426 users who had transferred payments frequently in previous one year, classification of users and non-user is estimated by using machine learning classifiers. The findings of the confusion matrix confirm that the accuracy of support vector machine is better than the logistic regression. The research confirms perceived value as the most important predictor of usage behavior through both the models, while other predictors as told by Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) varied slightly in each model. This manuscript provides insights for technology managers who are designing services involving m-payments which ultimately help them with a strategy to better address the users’ forfeiture and switching to other brands.

Online learning as an alternative that can be applied during the Covid-19 period. For the sake of smooth online learning, teachers need to make innovations so that the concepts of abstract mathematics learning are easily understood by students. One alternative is the use of technology as a learning medium to help solve mathematical problems using Algebrator software. This study aims to describe the ability of students to use Algebrator Software on number material as an alternative to online learning based on their mastery in using Algebrator. This research qualitative descriptive research with a case study approach. The research subjects were 5 class VII students who were randomly selected. The results of this study indicate that the ability of students to use Algebrator Software on number material as an alternative to online learning has been sufficiently mastered based on the results of the tests given and supported by the results of interviews. It is hoped that in the future students can improve their ability to master technology in mathematics learning.

The ongoing pandemic (i.e., novel corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19)) is a major crisis that humanity is facing across the globe. In response to COVID-19, every country has designed and enforced various mechanisms to control its spread, and save their citizens from this deadly disease. Besides the general containment strategies, the use of technology and person-specific data collection and processing also vary from country to country. In this brief case report, we describe the measures that South Korea (SK) has adopted in order to curb the spread of COVID-19, and the success of SK in keeping the cases at a manageable level since the start of this pandemic until present via extensive use of technology. Specifically, we describe the data collected to control this pandemic, technical framework in place to ensure co-ordination with different authorities, containment strategies, and major breakthrough SK achieved when sporadic clusters emerged throughout the nation. With this brief overview, we aim to update the research community about the unprecedented efforts SK made, utilizing previous pandemic experiences, and the successful results they have obtained so far amid this pandemic, leveraging technology.

In this study, it is aimed to examine the anxiety of preschool teacher candidates about the use of technology in education. A total of 549 preschool teacher candidates, including 510 females and 39 males, who study or graduated from 67 different universities, took part in the study. As data collection tools, General Information Form and Educational Technologies Anxiety Scale were used. According to the results of the study, preschool teacher candidates' educational technologies anxiety does not differ in terms of gender and the type of university they study. The technology management-centered anxiety of graduate preschool teacher candidates is higher than the preschool teacher candidates who are studying in the first grade. Again, the technical-centered anxiety of graduate preschool teacher candidates is higher than the preschool teacher candidates studying in the first and second grade. Preschool teacher candidates who have personal computers have more technology management-centered and technique-centered anxieties than preschool teacher candidates who do not have a personal computer. Finally, as the age of preschool teacher candidates increases, technique-centered, technology-management-centered and technology-integration-centered anxieties also increase. Considering the results of the study, it is recommended to increase knowledge about the technical equipment and technology in order to reduce pre-school teacher candidates’ anxiety about the use of technology in education.

PURPOSE Cancer care team attitudes towards distress screening are key to its success and sustainability. Previous qualitative research has interviewed staff mostly around the startup phase. We evaluate oncology teams' perspectives on psychosocial distress screening, including perceived strengths and challenges, in settings where it has been operational for years. METHODS We conducted, transcribed, and analyzed semi-structured interviews with 71 cancer care team members (e.g., MDs, RNs, MSWs) at 18 Commission on Cancer-accredited cancer programs including those serving underrepresented populations. RESULTS Strengths of distress screening identified by participants included identifying patient needs and testing provider assumptions. Staff indicated it improved patient-provider communication and other aspects of care. Challenges to distress screening included patient barriers (e.g., respondent burden) and lack of electronic system interoperability. Participants expressed the strengths of distress screening (n = 291) more than challenges (n = 86). Suggested improvements included use of technology to collect data, report results, and make referrals; complete screenings prior to appointments; longitudinal assessment; additional staff training; and improve resources to address patient needs. CONCLUSION Cancer care team members' perspectives on well-established distress screening programs largely replicate findings of previous studies focusing on the startup phase, but there are important differences: team members expressed more strengths than challenges, suggesting a positive attitude. While our sample described many challenges described previously, they did not indicate challenges with scoring and interpreting the distress screening questionnaire. The differences in attitudes expressed in response to mature versus startup implementations provide important insights to inform efforts to sustain and optimize distress screening.

The widespread COVID 19 pandemic has affected learning and development of students at all ages and the sudden closure of schools has led to the new experience of online learning during this period. The study aimed to explore the perceptions and challenges faced by the teachers and parents of primary students regarding excessive use of technology during online learning. A qualitative approach using an exploratory method was applied to collect the data by deploying self-developed semi-structured interview protocols to collect the data. Three major themes emerged after the data analysis: (a) the debate on online classes versus physical classes; (b) the negative impact of technology on the development of children; and (c) appropriateness of online learning for young learners. The data illustrated that teachers and parents of primary students are not satisfied during online learning because of the adverse effect of technology on the learning and development of young learners. Hence, it is recommended that alternatives should be suggested by the school authorities and government, so that their learning and development are not hampered by the use of technology.

Hoy día en Cuba hay una lucha sobre el significado, el alcance y la dirección de la revolución digital. ¿Quién la controlará? ¿Quién se beneficiará con ella? ¿Con qué fines se aplicará? El presente artículo analiza las diversas formas, a veces contradictorias, en que los cubanos están empleando las nuevas tecnologías mediáticas para la transformación de la sociedad desde dentro, mediante un análisis del papel de los medios digitales en protestas tales como: el Movimiento San Isidro (MSI), los acontecimientos del 27 de noviembre 2020 (27N) y del 27 de enero 2021 (27E), así como el fenómeno del videoclip viral “Patria y Vida” a finales de febrero 2021. En virtud de este estudio, postulo que son estos cambios internos y el uso de la tecnología por actores locales, los que están conduciendo el impacto de la tecnología digital en la sociedad cubana mucho más que las políticas de estados extranjeros. Adicionalmente, el articulo ubica a Cuba dentro de cinco debates más globales sobre la relación entre la tecnología digital y la política.

El Uso roblemático de Internet (UPI) está siendo habitual entre los estudiantes universitarios. En este trabajo se propuso identificar las variables psicológicas y físicas asociadas al UPI y analizar su influencia en dichas variables. Se empleó una metodología de revisión sistemática con metanálisis, en las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus. En la revisión se identificaron 51 estudios que incluyeron una muestra total de 136 760 sujetos. En cambio, para el metanálisis se identificaron 12 estudios. Los resultados mostraron que las principales variables psicológicas y físicas asociadas al UPI son la falta de autocontrol, ansiedad, baja autoestima, baja actividad física y baja autoeficacia académica. Sin embargo, el metanálisis recogió que sólo el UPI, donde se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas, fue predictor de la ansiedad y baja autoestima. Por último, se discuten las implicaciones prácticas del trabajo y la necesidad de prevenir y educar en el buen uso de la tecnología., Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is becoming common among university students. This research set out to identify the psychological and physical variables associated with PIU and examine the influence of PIU on these variables.

Recovery and access to end-of-life corneal tissue for corneal transplantation, training and research is globally maldistributed. The reasons for the maldistribution are complex and multifaceted, and not well defined or understood. Currently there are few solutions available to effectively address these issues. This review provides an overview of the system, key issues impacting recovery and allocation and emphasises how end-user ophthalmologists and researchers, with support from administrators and the wider sector, can assist in increasing access long-term through sustaining eye banks nationally and globally. We posit that prevention measures and improved surgical techniques, together with the development of novel therapies will play a significant role in reducing demand and enhance the equitable allocation of corneas.

This paper takes its starting point in the fact that many mines have managed to improve its work environment, with regards to, for example, accident occurrence, while at the same time having stopped seeing improvements in these areas even in the wake of technology interventions. Technology projects in the mining industry continue to make claims on further improvements to the work environment, and make wider claims still, but have not addressed underlying causes that lead to underperformance of technology in terms of work environment improvements. This paper suggests that when we look closer at the situation, we find a complex situation in which negative and positive effects on the work environment follow the implementation of new technology. The analysis conducted in the paper further suggests that this has to do with mining environments having reached a level where historically major risks have been addressed; remaining risks, which are still significant, are of such a nature that their singular treatment — attempting to address these risks through isolated action such as new technology — engenders risks elsewhere. At the same time, the mining industry is of such a character that technological sophistications will fail to ultimately address the fundamental underlying causes of technology’s underperformance; technology by itself will never be enough. In part, this is due to constraints stemming from the characteristics of the mining industry, resulting in lower and slower technological progress for instance. The paper, thus, proposes a shift in focus with regards to technology, from technology itself to the processes surrounding the development, implementation, and use of technology in the mining industry. The paper, then, outlines some requirements for such a process. Validerad;2022;Nivå 2;2022-02-28 (sofila);Artikeln har tidigare förekommit som manuskript i avhandling.

Introduction Pruritus is a common symptom across various dermatologic conditions, with a negative impact on quality of life. Devices to quantify itch objectively primarily use scratch as a proxy. This review compares and evaluates the performance of technologies aimed at objectively measuring scratch behavior. Methods Articles identified from literature searches performed in October 2020 were reviewed and those that did not report a primary statistical performance measure (eg, sensitivity, specificity) were excluded. The articles were independently reviewed by 2 authors. Results The literature search resulted in 6231 articles, of which 24 met eligibility criteria. Studies were categorized by technology, with actigraphy being the most studied (n = 21). Wrist actigraphy's performance is poorer in pruritic patients and inherently limited in finger-dominant scratch detection. It has moderate correlations with objective measures (Eczema and Area Severity Index/Investigator's Global Assessment: rs(ρ) = 0.70-0.76), but correlations with subjective measures are poor (r2 = 0.06, rs(ρ) = 0.18-0.40 for itch measured using a visual analog scale). This may be due to varied subjective perception of itch or actigraphy's underestimation of scratch. Conclusion Actigraphy's large variability in performance and limited understanding of its specificity for scratch merits larger studies looking at validation of data analysis algorithms and device performance, particularly within target patient populations.

Background Limited attention has been paid to how and why older adults choose to engage with technology-facilitated health care (e-health), and the factors that impact on this. This scoping review sought to address this gap. Methods Databases were searched for papers reporting on the use of e-health services by older adults, defined as being aged 60 years or older, with specific reference to barriers and facilitators to e-health use. Result 14 papers were included and synthesised into five thematic categories and related subthemes. Results are discussed with reference to the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology2. The most prevalent barriers to e-health engagement were a lack of self-efficacy, knowledge, support, functionality, and information provision about the benefits of e-health for older adults. Key facilitators were active engagement of the target end users in the design and delivery of e-health programs, support for overcoming concerns privacy and enhancing self-efficacy in the use of technology, and integration of e-health programs across health services to accommodate the multi-morbidity with which older adults typically present. Conclusion E-health offers a potential solution to overcome the barriers faced by older adults to access timely, effective, and acceptable health care for physical and mental health. However, unless the barriers and facilitators identified in this review are addressed, this potential will not be realised.

Educators all over the world are scrambling to develop new and more advanced methods of teaching through the use of technology, with the common goal of engaging students in classrooms. Furthermore, the new generation, which grew up with the internet, video games, and online gaming, prefers a technology-infused approach to teaching and learning. They are no longer interested in the traditional method of classroom lectures. Educational games (EG) have also become a hot topic in the academic community. The goal of this paper is to look into the factors that influence students’ acceptance of online education. Based on the literature review’s discussions and arguments, it is possible to conclude that all factors influence students’ acceptance of online EG.

The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine how kindergarten teachers teach writing and their beliefs about writing instruction using survey methodology. Participants in this study included 78 kindergarten teachers in the United States. Results revealed that most kindergarten teachers used a balanced approach to writing instruction, combining instructional procedures from two common methods for teaching writing: skills instruction and process writing. The majority of kindergarten teachers devoted considerable time to writing instruction (36 min a day) and student writing (24 min a day) and used most of the instructional practices included in the survey to teach writing. These positive findings must be tempered by other issues involving classroom writing practices. This included concerns that teaching foundational skills was overemphasized with little attention devoted to teaching writing strategies and process. Writing tasks involved writing without composing and limited extended writing. The use of technology for writing and writing instruction was absent. Further, motivation for writing and extending writing to the home were largely ignored. Most participating teachers expressed positive beliefs about writing, their effectiveness in teaching writing and their capabilities as writers themselves.

The application of technology in education has become a significant option for a more efficient and interactive approach, particularly in language teaching. However, few studies have investigated the use of technology in the teaching of writing in English language classrooms, especially in the Malaysian context. The present study investigates the teaching of writing practices and technology tools employed by English as a second language teachers when teaching writing skills. Using Technology Acceptance Model as the underpinning theory, this study also examines the effectiveness of the use of technology in the teaching of writing by collecting data from forty secondary school English teachers in Malaysia using a set of questionnaires. The findings indicated that technology is an important tool to improve students’ writing skills, assist teachers as a teaching aid and promote student engagement in the classroom. However, the lack of technical support hinders some teachers from using technology because it takes a lot of time which disrupts the teaching and learning process. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that technology plays an important role in helping teachers to improve students’ writing skills. Significantly, the findings of this study provide evidence to improve the application of technology in language teaching and learning.

espanolLa tecnologia es una herramienta que aporta a la sociedad, mantiene al emisor y receptor comunicados y aprendiendo constantemente, subrayando no ser la excepcion durante la pandemia COVID-2019, ha permitido a las familias estar informadas sobre las situaciones acontecidas, de igual manera hizo frente al entretenimiento para acceder a redes sociales, juegos en linea, educacion virtual y teletrabajo; por tal motivo, el objetivo de estudio permite analizar las horas, problemas en el uso de equipos tecnologicos en padres, madres e hijos; identificar las percepciones de los efectos sobre el uso de la tecnologia durante la pandemia COVID-19; asociar el numero de horas del uso del celular con el castigo en los hijos. Se realizo una investigacion cuantitativa no experimental, descriptivo de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 50 padres familias entre las edades de 23 a 55 anos (M=34,58 DT=9,738). Se aplico dos cuestionarios uno sociodemografico y Practicas Parentales de Robinson. Los resultados revelaron que el equipo tecnologico usado con mayor frecuencia por los integrantes de la familia es el celular. Las percepciones de los efectos cuando se hace uso de la tecnologia mostraron conductas de enojo, fatiga y rebeldia, tambien existieron problemas de comunicacion, mala relacion entre padres e hijos, aislamiento y falta de autoridad por parte de los padres. Se concluye que el padre, madre e hijos permanecen entre 2 a 4 horas conectados al celular siendo una causa probable de desencadenar problemas como deterioro la convivencia familiar y la relacion de pareja. EnglishTechnology is a tool that contributes to society. It keeps the sender and the receiver communicated and constantly learning. It has not been an exception during the COVID-19 Pandemic, indeed. It has allowed communication between families about all the arousing circumstances. It has also been the mean to access entertainment such as social networks, online games, virtual education and telework; these are some of the reasons to have as objectives: to analyze the hours, problems in the use of technological equipment in father, mothers and children; identify perceptions of the effects on the use of technology during the COVID-19 Pandemic; associate the number of hours of cell phone use with punishment for children. A non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional quantitative investigation was performed. The sample consisted of 50 family parents aged between 23 to 55 years (M = 34, 58 SD = 9,738). A sociodemographic and a Robinson´s Parental Practices questionnaire were applied. The result reveals that telephones are the most frequently used technological equipment among the family members. Behaviors of anger, fatigue and rebellion, communication problems, poor relationship between parents and children, isolation and lack of parents’ authority were the perceptions of the effects of technology use. It can be concluded that father, mother and children remain connected to cell phones between 2 to 4 hours, being a probable cause of triggering problems, such as decline of family coexistence and the couple relationship.

This is because without any limitations in technology it can have a good or bad impact on children if it is not used according to the required context. Therefore, the subject of the study to be discussed is more focused on the learning of children aged 7-15 years, who in the learning process still really need assistance from their parents. Writing this article is done through a process of literature review of various literature starting from the process of determining the topic of the problem, determining the type of data collection method, collecting various data that support the topic, conducting the data analysis process, and drawing conclusions based on the data that has been obtained. Based on the data that has been obtained, the role of parents in assisting children to use technology while learning from home is very important, especially in maintaining and increasing children's motivation to continue learning.

Introduction There is debate regarding whether the use of computer-assisted technology, such as navigation and robotics, has any benefit on outcomes or patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aims to report on the association between intraoperative use of technology and outcomes in patients who underwent primary TKA. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 7096 patients who underwent primary TKA from 2016-2020. Patients were stratified depending on the technology utilized: navigation, robotics, or no technology. Patient demographics, clinical data, Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS), and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR) were collected at various time points up to 1-year follow-up. Demographic differences were assessed with chi-square and ANOVA. Clinical data and PROMs were compared using univariate ANCOVA, controlling for demographic differences. Results A total of 287(4%) navigation, 367(5%) robotics, and 6442(91%) manual cases were included. Surgical-time significantly differed between the three groups (113.33 vs 117.44 vs 102.11; P Conclusion This study demonstrates shorter operative-time in cases with no utilization of technology and clinically similar PROMs associated with TKAs performed between all modalities. While the use of technology may aid surgeons, it has not currently translated to better short-term outcomes. Level III Evidence Retrospective Cohort.
