Transformative Encounters: A Narrative Review of Involving People Living With HIV/AIDS in Public Health Teaching.

Objectives: To collate the experiences of involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in academic public health teaching to inform future public health education models involving people affected by long-term effects of other pandemics. Our goal is to describe interventions in a way that makes them accessible to potential public health teachers hoping to adapt patient involvement paradigms in their teaching of chronic illness brought on by infectious diseases. Methods: Narrative review based on a literature search in PubMed and Google Scholar up to September 2021. Fifteen articles that contained a description of a health educational intervention on HIV/AIDS that actively involved PLWHA were included. Results: Interventions either involved PLWHA as teachers and program/curriculum developers or incorporated experiential elements in which students have genuine contact with PLWHA. Creating safe spaces, recognizing PLWHA as experts, relating to each other differently were common transformative elements. Conclusion: Involving PLWHA in public health teaching have transformative and empowering outcomes, both for PLWHA and for learners. This finding should inform new teaching programs that will address the long-term effects of other pandemics such as COVID-19.

#oldnews: Diffusion of pro-conservation behaviors and social media in wildlife tourism

ABSTRACT A proposed benefit of wildlife tourism is tourists’ participation in pro-conservation behaviors (PCB). Diffusion theory proposes that one’s perceived efficacy of a behavior will influence rates of behavior adoption. However, empirical data on factors that influence wildlife tourists’ perceived efficacy of PCB (PEPCB) are lacking. This study evaluated experiential elements’ influence on tourists’ PEPCB, and the role of social media as an emerging PCB. Data were collected from in situ and ex situ wildlife tourists (n= 475), presenting a systems-level view of wildlife tourism. Engagement with interpretation, attitudes, and past PCB performance did not influence PEPCB. Data suggests PEPCB are favorable and existing PCB are diffused throughout the wildlife tourism community. Data did support tourists’ use of social media as an emerging PCB, which is not widely diffused. Management recommendations for existing and future PCB are discussed.

Young peoples' lived experiences of multidisciplinary mental health assessment in an intensive day program.

We aimed to explore young peoples' lived experiences of multidisciplinary mental health assessment in an intensive mental health day program. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was applied to data from semi-structured interviews with six males, aged 13-16 years. Member-checking interviews were conducted to ensure the trustworthiness of findings. Analysis revealed three themes, 'therapy fatigue', '360 supports' and 'experiential assessment'. Participants had either attended many years of psychological therapy without significant change or had failed to engage with therapy. Participants' attitudes changed at the day program with intensive support and their own determination. Participants valued experiential elements of assessment such as music therapy and art therapy which helped them understand the service, get to know others and experience positive emotions. Unsuccessful psychological treatment can leave young people feeling jaded and reluctant to engage with services. The potential for iatrogenic harm should be monitored and alternative approaches, such as intensive, multidisciplinary treatment including music therapy and art therapy considered to help young people overcome therapy fatigue, regain hope and reengage with mental health services.

A Haredi Myth of Female Leadership: Rebbetzin Batsheva Kanievsky

Rebbetzin Batsheva Kanievsky (1932–2011) served as a spiritual guide for many; her prominence and influence were a unique phenomenon in the Haredi (Jewish ultra-Orthodox) community in which she grew up, where women, lacking Talmudic knowledge or other sources of authority, are generally found only at the margins of the public sphere. Her multi-faceted activity was focused on offering blessings and advice. She also innovated a few segulot (magical techniques) and religious rituals. Her leadership is characterized, on the one hand, by the preservation and even strengthening of the existing Lithuanian Haredi ethos, particularly in the context of the wife’s complete self-abnegation for her husband’s Torah study. On the other hand, it fostered emotional and experiential elements that are closer to the ethos of the Hasidic and Sephardi communities and are associated with folk piety and a quasi-magical orientation. Rebbetzin Kanievsky thus created a type of female religious leadership that can be characterized as anti-leadership, in which she embodied the Haredi conception of ideal womanhood. Consequently, she was not perceived as a threat to Haredi values but rather as their promoter. However, this model of leadership enabled her to break, almost despite herself, the limitations of the gender hierarchy of the Haredi community and serve as an almost singular female role model in that community’s pantheon.

Exploring experiential elements, strategies and outcomes of quality participation for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities: A systematic scoping review.

Quality participation, defined as satisfying and enjoyable involvement, is one of the most valued life outcomes for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. To broaden understandings of quality participation, our review explored participation experiences of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Utilising an established systematic scoping review methodology, data were collected using three search tools (peer-reviewed databases, grey literature databases and Google). Inclusion criteria required that children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and/or their proxies provided descriptions of quality participation experiences in any life domain. A total of 35 articles met the inclusion criteria. Quality participation strategies (30 total) and outcomes (8 total) were categorised according to six experiential elements (autonomy, belongingness, challenge, engagement, mastery and meaning). Findings provide novel insight for building quality experiences across current and future participation initiatives.

Developing and validating a multidisciplinary scale of E-retailing website elements

The purpose of this article is to theoretically identify the salient elements of e-retailing websites and empirically verify them through a rigorous scale development process. A mixed method approach was followed to achieve these objectives: a qualitative (content analysis) and a quantitative approach (factorial and confirmatory surveys). Three findings emerge from the current study. First: this study provides sound empirical support for e-retailing website elements as a high-order construct that consists of eight first-order factors. Second, the current research suggests that the measurement instrument for e-retailing website elements, which contains 54 items, is a valid and reliable using the following factors: hedonic website design elements, technical website design elements, website experiential elements, website relational elements, product-related elements, order-related elements, security-related elements and social media presence. Third, the proposed measurement instrument of e-retailing website elements strongly predicts e-satisfaction and e-trust. The key contribution of this study stems from developing and validating a multidisciplinary scale that synthesizes and integrates the major perspectives of e-retailing website elements.

A glimpse into the experience of a youth sport tourism consumer: an analysis of parents vs. coaches

ABSTRACT The newly coined ‘sport-cation' nature of youth sport is multifaceted, complex and under-researched. Given the scholars’ desire to provide actionable implications to sport practitioners, it was necessary to examine the complementary roles that the tourism attractions, sport event elements and customer service encounters play in achieving memorable experiences for youth sport consumers. To ensure the generalizability of the study’s findings, 7399 responses were captured from coaches and parents attending travel events representing volleyball, softball, baseball and lacrosse. Results from structural equation modeling reveal key touchpoints and organizational tactics that directly and indirectly influence goals spectators’, event practitioners’ and destination marketers’ hope to realize through youth sport (i.e. event satisfaction, word-of-mouth and repeat visit). For instance, attendees identified lodging experience, tournament format and destination amenities as experiential elements most germane to the service marketing mix. For sport organizations, findings underscore the importance of cocreation, relying upon community support and recommendation when designing and executing a youth sport travel event.

Construcción de educación del campo, apuestas político- pedagógicas de los educadores de inzá-cauca

The contents we intend to outline here refer to Rural Education, teaching subjectivity and pedagogical experiences, categories of analysis built from theoretical and experiential elements from the pedagogical bets in rural areas by educators and the community of Inzá, as a contrast to the ideologies that consider the school as a space outside the context, ignoring its social role and its direct relationship with the initiatives of transformation. In order to talk about this, we put into dialogue these elements with reflections from Latin American organizational processes, as well as from academics who have reflected on the elements of these categories, which we consider give meaning to rural education as a possibility of organizational processes in the rural territory, particularly in the municipality of Inzá- Cauca.   We recognize the educators from Inzá as political actors who build initiatives that promote and strengthen knowledge, links and local contexts in their territory as a commitment to education in the countryside. We consider it necessary to revalue the understanding of the possibility and potential of scenarios in which educators configure other alternative pedagogical and community experiences, oriented not only to spaces of knowledge construction from an academic order, but from organizational-political processes that are developed around proposals linked to education. We will outline the elements of analysis of these categories and the relationship that can be established between them, in order to take up again the main ideas that make up a proposal for Rural Education as a political and educational scenario where alternatives are developed in rural areas.

TEACHERS' VOICES SEEKING HUMANIZED TEACHING IN NURSING: VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES DURING THE PANDEMIC

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the experience of implementing the online training entitled “Humanization of the training processes in Nursing, care for all”, targeted at Nursing teachers from a Chilean university, as well as to analyze their interventions in the virtual forum. Method: a qualitative research study, of the case study type, through content analysis based on the forum interventions of 12 training participants who gave their consent. The online training delivered to professors from a Chilean Nursing school carried out from May to November 2020 is described, and the categories obtained by means of content analysis are presented. Results: for the participants, humanized care has a personal dimension and a public-political dimension. In turn, humanized teaching in Nursing implies that teachers recognize their students as whole individuals in their generational and social contexts, but that they also recognize themselves as people with self-knowledge needs and aware of their possibilities and limitations when practicing their profession. Reflective teaching is an opportunity to humanize Nursing training. Conclusion: this virtual training during the pandemic and the participants' reflections allowed us to understand conceptual and experiential elements about humanization of care and of training. The participants disclose the aspects in which they can exert an influence for a more humanized culture, such as self-recognition and acknowledgment of their students as individuals in a context. The remaining challenge is to investigate influential strategies at the institutional and political levels to attain more humanized care and education.

Quality of Participation Experiences in Special Olympics Sports Programs.

This cross-sectional study examined experiential elements facilitating quality sport experiences for youth (ages 12-24years) in Special Olympics, and the associated influences of sport program and sociodemographic characteristics. A total of 451 athletes involved in the 2019 Special Olympics Youth Games completed a survey assessing elements of quality participation (autonomy, belongingness, challenge, engagement, mastery, and meaning). The t tests investigated whether athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities rated elements differently across Traditional and Unified Sport programs. Regression analyses explored whether sport program and sociodemographic characteristics were predictors of these elements. Youth reported high mean scores across the elements, with no significant differences between athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Traditional or Unified Sport. Athletes with no reported disability rated higher autonomy than those who reported disability (p = .01). Women tended to report greater engagement in sport than men (p = .07). Findings provide theoretical and practical insights into quality sport participation among youth in Special Olympics.

The Interpretation of Statistical Graphs Given in the Press: Advancing Towards Citizen Training

Background : Statistical graphs in communication media validates that which communicates, considering that every media has editorial orientation, and is central to the development of citizen capacity for the critical interpretation of graph information. So it is necessary to understand the processes of interpreting graphs in communication media to improve statistical learning. Objective : Systematise elements that concur to the action of critical interpretation of the statistical graphs used in communication media. Design: From the socioepistemology and two studies, we focus on the analysis of textualities of the interpretations of graphs published in the press. We characterise operational, perceptual, and experiential elements that concur to the construction of meanings regarding the graphic phenomenon. Setting and Participants : This research was done with two groups: students from the 11th grade of schooling in Chile, who carry out an interpreting activity; and university statistics professors from Peru and Chile, who answered a semi-structured interview. Data analysis : Through the content analysis of textualities, units of meaning are identified from open encodings, grouped according to operational, perceptual or experiential aspects. Results : The act of interpreting graphs constitutes a space of epistemic activity that allows us to know the graph. In particular, the use of qualitative and perceptual comparisons that make the interpretation permeable to tendentious modifications of graphic elements is evident. Conclusions : It is necessary to incorporate press graphs into didactic designs, with a socio-critical discussion regarding the use of graphs in communication, to strengthen citizenship.

Identifying value-creating aspects in luxury hotel services via third-party online reviews: a cross-cultural study

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to identify critical value-creating elements of luxury services expressed in ratings and reviews posted on third-party sites and examine cross-cultural differences. To this end, the research analyzed online ratings and reviews of luxury hotels posted on TripAdvisor from customers of four European regions (East, North, South and West).Design/methodology/approachEight hundred thirty-eight online user-generated ratings and reviews of luxury hotels were analyzed quantitatively using MANOVA and qualitatively using text analysis.FindingsThe study findings support (a) that product and physical evidence are the most critical experiential elements of luxury hotels' offerings and (b) cultural differences among tourists from various regions of Europe in their hotel ratings and reviews. Specifically, Eastern and Northern Europeans are more generous in their review ratings than western and southern Europeans. Moreover, eastern Europeans value the hotel's physical evidence/environment whereas western Europeans prioritize the core product (room and food) followed by the physical environment/servicescape. Southern Europeans and Northern Europeans value most the personnel, followed by the physical environment and the core product, respectively.Practical implicationsCultural differences provide several implications with regard to luxury services segmentation, social media management, service marketing mix development and hotel promotion.Originality/valueThe value of this study originates from studying post–purchase customer behavior in luxury services from a cross-cultural perspective. Moreover, identifying critical aspects of value-creating customer experience in a luxury context adds to the available literature.

Interpreting the Old English Nominal Group from a Parsed Corpus

The object of this study is to derive a systemic functional interpretation of the experiential structure of the Old English nominal group from a parsed database. The database is the York-Toronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose (YCOE), a parsed structuralist corpus. The methodology uses the CorpusSearch search engine to isolate nominal group tree-structures in two separate inventories. The first search results in an inventory of the nominal groups having the most extended experiential structures without postmodifiers. A functional interpretation of the experiential structures revealed shows that the categories of experiential elements in the modern English nominal group are enough to explain the Old English structures. The second search results in a much larger inventory of the nominal groups having the next most extended experiential structures without postmodifiers. Structural and functional interpretations of these groups confirm the variety of experiential elements in the first inventory, and show numerous types of variation in element sequence and realizations. They also show the need for an additional element category, Pre-deictic. Variations in sequence include Epithet before Numerative, and Epithet or Numerative before Deictic. Realizational variations include Classifiers realized by embedded nominal groups.

Augmented reality in retail: a systematic review of research foci and future research agenda

PurposeThis paper synthesises peer-reviewed published journal articles on augmented reality in retail settings to ascertain the current foci of academic research in this nascent area and develop a conceptual framework to form the basis for a future research agenda.Design/methodology/approachThematic analysis was conducted on a sample of 76 papers published between 1997 and 2020 identified through a systematic search of high quality peer-reviewed papers.FindingsThree major research avenues and theoretical bases emerged: AR adoption-based factors with technology acceptance models, AR user experience design and features that influence consumer behaviour, and AR shopping experience and value theory. The resultant S-O-R-based conceptual framework highlights the functional and experiential elements needed for an effective consumer AR experience, which could be implemented by retailers seeking to engage consumers with an augmented shopping experience and make AR applications financially viable.Originality/valueThis is the first systematic literature review on AR in retail settings to include multiple disciplinary perspectives (HCI and marketing/management) and research methodologies.

‘We and our stories’: constructing food experiences in a UNESCO gastronomy city

The experiential elements of food tourism can be transformed into meaningful experiences of local food heritage and identity in the context of a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. From a local stakeholder perspective, six key drivers at three phases of the food experience are identified, and each driver involves several local elements that are coordinated and staged in various modes to create and develop four sequential food experiences. The pre-travel stage should focus on enhancing potential tourist’s awareness of the UNESCO designation. The on-site food experience is found to be twofold: exposure to the local food environment and the actual tasting experience in situ. The food experience is claimed to continue beyond the post-travel stage where one’s memory is triggered by stimuli and reflection. These create the ultimate local food experience for tourists, but it is the unique local identity that is critical from the local stakeholder perspective. Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/14616688.2021.1943701 .

Making Sense from Experience: How a Sustainable Multi-Sensory Event Spurs Word-of-Mouth Recommendation of a Destination Brand

The last decade has seen an exponential growth in published articles related to the influence of marketing events on destinations. However, there is still a need for empirical research about the effect that organized events built upon sensorial components have on different variables related to participants’ attitudes and behaviors, as such events have the ability to provide unique experiences and emotions. Therefore, this research focuses on the impact of a sustainable multi-sensory event marketing that promotes the interests of the organizing service company (a marina brand), alongside those of the host location, by associating the brand destination with this specific activity. By surveying attendees to a summer event aimed at enhancing visits to an area in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) and by adopting structural equation modeling estimation, the study shows that people’s positive valuations of the event had an impact on their word-of-mouth recommendation of the brand. Thus, visitors’ emotional experience was tied to their post-visit brand attitudes and brand equity. Based on the results, the study makes practical suggestions for branding in a sustainable destination, especially in relation to incorporating experiential elements in company-organized special events.

안도 다다오의 전시공간 구성 특성에 관한 연구 - 간사이 지방에 위치한 완성의 시기의 작품을 중심으로 -

The exhibition strives to provide various experiential elements as part of cultural life in modern society. Therefore, the exhibition space should basically be the result of interaction with users who watch it without hurting the purpose of "exhibition". Tadao Ando expresses his own architectural language deeply in his architecture and also shows each different results depending on the use and purpose of each building. Therefore this study intended to analyze the compositional characteristics of his exhibition space based on the architectural language of Tadao Ando. As a result of analyzing the examples of his exhibition presented through this perspective in this study, his exhibition space composition characteristics are as follows. First, he is composed to harmonize with the environment in the exhibition space. Second, a concise introduction is used as a boundary between the outside and the inside. Third, it intentionally designs the route to provide an experiential space. Fourth, it actively introduces nature into the exhibition space, giving visitors a direct experience. It can be seen that Tadao Ando is able to express his own architectural language to reflect appropriately in exhibition space flexibly according to its environment and purpose.

The Effects of Fashion Involvement and Experiential Elements of Luxury Fashion Brands on Brand Value and Brand Loyalty

Purpose - This study examined the effects of fashion involvement on experiential factors and determined the effects of experiential factors on brand value evaluation and brand loyalty of luxury fashion brands. Design/Methodology/Approach - The study included 330 female respondents who experienced luxury fashion brands in Seoul, South Korea and metropolitan areas. The data analyses software used for the study were SPSS 18.0 for exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis, and AMOS 25.0 for confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis. Findings - Results showed that there were three elements in fashion involvement, namely, symbolism, pleasure pursuing, and difficulty in selection. The experiential factors included escapism, aesthetic experience, educational experience, and entertainment experience. The path analysis results showed that symbolism and pleasure pursuing factors of fashion involvement had significant effects on all four experiential factors. In addition, among the four experiential factors, three factors had effects on brand value evaluation. Finally, brand value evaluation influences brand loyalty. Research Implications - There have been limited studies on the relationships among fashion involvement, experiential factors, and brand loyalty of luxury fashion brands. This study showed the importance of the experiential factors of luxury fashion brands. Based on the results of the study, luxury fashion brands marketing strategies can be effectively crafted and implemented.

Student Interest in Client-Sponsored Projects: The Quest for Engagement in Marketing Research Courses

Student engagement is regarded as a critical educational outcome. However, it has proven to be elusive to educators within technical domains, such as marketing research and analytics, which has inspired the exploration of experiential course design elements. Client-sponsored projects (CSPs) have become a popular tactic to meet this objective in such courses. The authors utilize a mixed-methods design to examine CSPs and their effectiveness in marketing research and analytics courses. In Study 1, qualitative research yields student insights regarding the desired characteristics of a CSP. Study 2 illustrates that CSPs boost student engagement through perceptions of course relevance. However, students’ subjective interest in the client represented a boundary condition for this effect. That is, CSPs did not offer value to students who lacked inherent interest in the client. In Study 3, a discrete choice model analysis outlined what attributes make clients interesting for students. Finally, Study 4 utilizes a field experiment to identify project-framing tactics that increase student interest through enhanced client familiarity. A series of recommendations are provided to maximize the efficacy of CSPs to marketing research and analytics courses.

“Living Well with Chronic Pain”: Integrative Pain Management via Shared Medical Appointments

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary, nonpharmacological, integrative approach that uses shared medical appointments to improve health-related quality of life and reduce opioid medication use in patients with chronic pain.DesignThis is a retrospective, pre–post review of “Living Well with Chronic Pain” shared medical appointments (August 2016 through May 2018).SettingThe appointments included eight 3-hour-long visits held once per week at an outpatient wellness facility.SubjectsPatients with chronic, non–cancer-related pain.MethodsPatients received evaluation and evidence-based therapies from a team of integrative and lifestyle medicine professionals, as well as education about nonpharmacological therapeutic approaches, the etiology of pain, and the relationship of pain to lifestyle factors. Experiential elements focused on the relaxation techniques of meditation, yoga, breathing, and hypnotherapy, while patients also received acupuncture, acupressure, massage, cognitive behavioral therapy, and chiropractic education. Patients self-reported data via the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-57) standardized questionnaire. Use of opioid medications was evaluated in morphine milligram equivalents.ResultsA total of 178 participants completed the PROMIS-57 questionnaire at the first and the last visits. Statistically significant improvements in all domains (Physical Functioning, Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, Social Roles, Pain Interference, and Sleep Disturbance) were observed (P < 0.001) between the pre-intervention (visit 1) and post-intervention (visit 8) scores. Average opioid use decreased nonsignificantly over the 8-week intervention, but the lower rate of opioid use was not sustained at 6 and 12 months’ follow-up.ConclusionsPatients suffering from chronic pain who participated in a multidisciplinary, nonpharmacological treatment approach delivered via shared medical appointments experienced reduced pain and improved measures of physical, mental, and social health without increased use of opioid pain medications.
