Abstract

This paper investigates the creation of multimodal web interfaces to foster inclusive services, aiming to empower individuals with disabilities. This paper details the development of SEU (Services to Empower yoU), an online platform designed to improve access to offline services for persons with disabilities through personalised multimodal web interfaces. Developed using a participatory design approach, SEU involved collaboration with Human-Computer Interaction experts, occupational therapists, accessibility experts, and persons with disabilities. The platform supports multiple user needs across cognitive, visual, motor, and hearing impairments. SEU was evaluated in a two-phase usability study, which included expert assessment and testing by persons with disabilities, supplemented with interviews, observations, and questionnaires. Feedback highlighted SEU's effective design and usability, emphasising its utility in enhancing service accessibility. The study indicates that both experts and persons with disabilities consider the platform an added value. Although the platform was well-received, suggestions for better cognitive support and the addition of a mobile application were noted, acknowledging the regular smartphone usage among the target users.

10. Corticosteroid insensitivity in airways disease

Abstract

Corticosteroids (CS) are the most widely used and effective anti-inflammatory agents. In severe asthma, despite high doses of CS, patients remain symptomatic, whereas in COPD, CS fail to halt progression of the disease, highlighting the need for alternative anti-inflammatory agents. The hypothesis investigated in this thesis was that inflammation in severe asthma and COPD was less responsive to inhibition by corticosteroids. In COPD, cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage did not demonstrate corticosteroid insensitivity compared to smoking and non-smoking controls in response to LPS. In response to IFNγ stimulation, CXCL9 release from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from COPD patients was significantly higher than from controls. JAK-STAT inhibitors significantly reduced the secretion of CXCR3 chemokines compared to dexamethasone. PBMC from subjects with severe asthma not on regular prednisolone exhibited corticosteroid insensitivity compared to non-severe asthmatics and severe asthmatics on regular prednisolone in terms of suppression of IL-6 release. There was a very variable response to a 2-week course of prednisolone amongst patients with severe asthma. 5 p38 MAPK inhibitors were tested in alveolar macrophages, monocyte-derived macrophages and PBMC, and they suppressed release of inflammatory cytokines from COPD, severe asthma and controls. Examination of bronchial biopsies revealed that severe asthmatic patients had significantly increased basement membrane thickness and smooth muscle area compared to non-severe asthma. There was a significant negative correlation between airways hyper-responsiveness and the SBM thickness, suggesting that the extracellular matrix may influence airway contractility. Inhibition of the p38 and JAK-STAT pathways had a greater ability to suppress induced cytokine release than dexamethasone in inflammatory cells from COPD and asthma. A 2-week course of prednisolone improved asthma control and quality of life scores in patients with severe asthma. CS use does not prevent airway wall remodelling in severe asthma. Together, these data highlight the need for alternative anti-inflammatory agents.

38. Language Learning: The Merge of Teletandem and Web 2.0 Tools

Author

Abreu-Ellis, Carla, Ellis, Jason Brent, Carle, Abbie, Blevens, Jar, Decker, Aline, Carvalho, Leticia, and Macedo, Patricia

Abstract

The following action research provides an overview of student's perceptions of the incorporation of Web 2.0 technologies into in-tandem language learning activities. American and Brazilian college students were partnered in order to work in-tandem through pre-determined language activities using Web 2.0 technologies to learn a second language, prior to studying abroad. Findings indicated both advantages and pitfalls of incorporating Web 2.0 technologies from a learner-centered perspective. Implications for program change included clear directives and protocols for text-based communications between peers and providing back-up options for students when technologies fail to work or are unavailable.
