Freely available, online videos to support neurological physiotherapists and students in task-specific training skill acquisition: a scoping review

BackgroundVideos to support learning of clinical skills are effective; however, little is known about the scope and educational quality of the content of freely available online videos demonstrating task-specific training (TST). This review aimed to determine the extent, characteristics of freely available online videos, and whether the content is suitable to guide skill acquisition of task-specific training for neurological physiotherapists and students.MethodsA scoping review was conducted. Google video and YouTube were searched in December 2022. Videos that met our eligibility criteria and were explicitly designed for (TST) skill acquisition were included in the report.ResultsTen videos met the inclusion criteria and were difficult to find amongst the range of videos available. Most were presented by physiotherapists or occupational therapists, originated from the USA, featured stroke as the condition of the person being treated, and involved a range of interventions (upper limb, constraint induced movement therapy, balance, bicycling). Most videos were created by universities or private practices and only two used people with a neurological condition as the participant. When the content of videos and their presentation (instruction and/or demonstration), was assessed against each key component of TST (practice structure, specificity, repetition, modification, progression, feedback), five of the videos were rated very suitable and five moderately suitable to guide skill acquisition. Most videos failed to demonstrate and provide instruction on each key component of TST and were missing at least one component, with feedback most frequently omitted.ConclusionsThere are many freely available online videos which could be described as demonstrating TST; very few are suitable to guide skill acquisition. The development of a standardised and validated assessment tool, that is easy to use and assesses the content of TST videos is required to support learners to critically evaluate the educational quality of video content. Guidelines based on sound teaching theory and practice are required to assist creators of online videos to provide suitable resources that meet the learning needs of neurological physiotherapists and students.

Freely Available Training Videos for Suicide Prevention: Scoping Review.

Freely available and asynchronous implementation supports can reduce the resource burden of evidence-based practice training to facilitate uptake. Freely available web-based training videos have proliferated, yet there have been no efforts to quantify their breadth, depth, and content for suicide prevention. This study presents results from a scoping review of freely available training videos for suicide prevention and describes a methodological framework for reviewing such videos. A scoping review of freely available training videos (≥2 minutes) for suicide prevention practices was conducted using 4 large video-sharing platforms: YouTube, Vimeo, Bing Video, and Google Video. Identified suicide prevention training videos (N=506) were reviewed and coded. Most content was targeted toward gatekeepers or other lay providers (n=370) versus clinical providers (n=136). Videos most commonly provided content related to suicidal thoughts or behaviors (n=420). Many videos (n=274, 54.2%) included content designed for certain communities or organizations. Less than half (n=232, 45.8%) of training videos included formal clinical content pertaining to assessment or intervention for suicide prevention. Results suggested an abundance of videos providing broad informational content (eg, "signs and symptoms of someone at risk for suicide") and a limited portion of videos with instructional content aimed at clinical providers delivering formal evidence-based assessments or interventions for suicide prevention. Development of resources to address identified gaps may be needed. Future work may leverage machine learning techniques to expedite the review process.

Efficient feature based video retrieval and indexing using pattern change with invariance algorithm

The amount of audio visual content kept in networked repositories has increased dramatically in recent years. Many video hosting websites exist, such as YouTube, Metacafe, and Google Video. Currently, indexing and categorising these videos is a time-consuming task. The system either asks the user to provide tags for the videos they submit, or manual labelling is used. The aim of this research is to develop a classifier that can accurately identify videos. Every video has content that is either visual, audio, or text. Researchers categorised the videos based on any of these three variables. With the Pattern Change with Size Invariance (PCSI) algorithm, this study provides a hybrid model that takes into account all three components of the video: audio, visual, and textual content. This study tries to classify videos into broad categories such as education, sports, movies, and amateur videos. Key feature extraction and pattern matching would be used to accomplish this. A fuzzy logic and ranking system would be used to assign the tag to the video. The proposed system is tested only on a virtual device in addition a legitimate distributed cluster for the aim of reviewing real-time performance, especially once the amount and duration of films are considerable. The efficiency of video retrieval is measured with metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall is over 99% success.

American Cultural Insularity and Global Online Video: Are Netflix, Amazon Prime and Other Digital Streaming Platforms Broadening Americans’ Foreign Film Consumption Horizons?

The United States has long been characterized by American Cultural Insularity (ACI). According to a theory of ACI that I have developed in previous work ( Author 2019 , 2020 ), compared to most people in most other countries, Americans tend to consume much more of their own cultural media products and much fewer cultural media products produced in other countries than people in other countries consume. This paper compares long-running and deeply-entrenched American resistance to foreign and non-English language film in movie theaters to the (lack of) popularity of foreign, non-American and feature film-length content originally produced in a language other than English on major digital online video streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Google Video. It does so primarily via a discussion of, and analysis of, digital online video streaming platform popularity charts compiled by flixpatrol.com (Flixpatrol), a Netherlands-based online video streaming data collection and analysis web site/company. An analysis of Flixpatrol's Top Streaming in the United States popularity chart for 10 major digital online video streaming platforms from February 2020 to September 2021 shows little evidence of a movement among American-based consumers toward more consumption of foreign, non-English-language feature length films.

Antecedents and Consequences of Credibility and Parasocial Interaction on Food Shopping Intentions

Objective: In recent years, vlogging or a trending term, especially among YouTube viewers, has increasingly bombarded content on Google's video site. This study examines the antecedents and consequences of credibility and parasocial interactions on food shopping intentions. Design/Methods/Approach: The data was obtained through a survey of 117 followers of one of the five favorite food vlogger accounts of the Indonesian people based on a survey conducted by CNBC Indonesia (2020) and who have shopped for food products at least three times in the last six months. Data analysis is performed using the Structural Equation Model- Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) to test the suitability of the hypothesized model. Findings: The findings of this study suggest that food stall owners can consider choosing celebrities or ambassadors to have their products reviewed to attract wider consumers. Originality: This study explores the attractiveness of celebrities on social media, especially YouTube, which can influence the purchase intention of their followers and the role of parasocial interaction and credibility in these interactions and results. Practical/Policy implication: The results of this study indicate that company management pays attention to who is right to promote their products. Influencers who will be used as promotional materials must also be in line with the products produced by the company so that there is no mistake in getting a wider consumer.

Exploring the Abnormal Signal Transduction Mediated Internet Addiction and Gaming Disorders

The world is connected by the internet. It is very useful because we use Google to find out any new topic, to search for new places, to quest updated research, and to get knowledge for learning. People around the world can communicate with each other through the Google video conference talk. Internet is frequently used in smartphones, laptops, desktops, and tablets. Excessive affinity towards internet-based online data collection, downloading pictures, videos, cyber relationships, and social media may produce addiction disorders followed by different symptoms such as behavior change, mind disturbance, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite hyperactivity, sleeping disorder, headache, visual fatigue, trafficking of memory, attention-deficit, loss of efficiency in work and social detachment which may be caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters. This is very difficult to control because of abnormal signal transduction in the brain. The present study is an attempt to discuss internet addiction disorder (IAD), internet gaming disorder (IGD), and give awareness to society to get rid of this addiction.

Deep neural networks are effective tools for assessing performance during surgical training.

Surgical education courses and certification tests require human evaluators to assess performance. Deep neural network (DNN) methods include techniques for classifying the content of videos which may enable automated scoring of video performance. Researchers collected 254 videos of two simulation-based exercises performed by attending surgeons. The performance in each video was scored by experienced instructors and converted into three class labels-expert, intermediate, and novice. The videos were cut into 2227 10s clips for training DNNs in the Google Video Intelligence AutoML service. The DNN models matched the classifications applied by human evaluators with 83.1% accuracy for the Ring & Rail exercise and 80.8% for the Suture Sponge exercise. DNN models trained on individual exercises delivered very good results (80 + % accuracy) in matching the classifications assigned by human instructors and may eventually be able to supplement or replace human evaluators.

Dampak Covid-19 Terhadap Pembelajaran Online di Sekolah Menengah Pertama Kota Semarang

Efforts to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus implemented in Indonesia in the education sector have resulted in learning at junior high schools in Semarang City using online learning through parental guidance. This study aims to describe the impact of COVID-19 on online learning in Semarang City's first schools. Online learning can use digital technology such as google classrooms, study houses, zoom, video conferencing, telephone or live chat and others. This research is a qualitative research. The informants in this study were students, teachers and parents of junior high school guardians in Semarang City. The results of this study were (1) The impact felt by students on the teaching and learning process at home was that students felt they had more experience than learning in class. (2) From the parent guardian's point of view, the impact felt is the additional cost of purchasing internet quota and parents have to spend time accompanying their children in online learning. (3) The impact felt by the teacher is that not all are proficient in using internet technology or social media as a learning tools.

Comparative study of Existing Models for Online Social Network

Today, Online Social Networks becomes the first choice for businesses to broadcast their campaigns for branding, publicity, strategies, advertising, marketing, social influence and so many other areas. Social Network is a platform for communicating with social actors and Social Media is used by companies for broadcasting information. Online Social Network used by businesses for number of purposes but the primary concern is build new social connections that helps to target most audiences for successful campaign purposes. In OSNs sites the social objects are represented by nodes and the term edge used for connection between nodes under the graph theory. Today Social Network sites have becomes most exploded as compared to traditional sites because of impact of so many influence models over traditional models.Some of popular websites of OSN such as MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Google Video, Orkut, LinkedIn, Live Journal and BlogSpot have great impact on customer when targeting the sales marketing funnel for businesses. Adjacent users sometimes called engaged users tend to have more trust level as compared to random pairs users on the social media sites. Already have so much research that helps to calculate the trust factor using influence modeling. So influence models play a vital role to predict the behavior of the customer that helps to fulfill the goal of the business. The key contribution of this work is study of online social networking models.

Low fundamental and formant frequencies predict fighting ability among male mixed martial arts fighters

Human voice pitch is highly sexually dimorphic and eminently quantifiable, making it an ideal phenotype for studying the influence of sexual selection. In both traditional and industrial populations, lower pitch in men predicts mating success, reproductive success, and social status and shapes social perceptions, especially those related to physical formidability. Due to practical and ethical constraints however, scant evidence tests the central question of whether male voice pitch and other acoustic measures indicate actual fighting ability in humans. To address this, we examined pitch, pitch variability, and formant position of 475 mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters from an elite fighting league, with each fighter’s acoustic measures assessed from multiple voice recordings extracted from audio or video interviews available online (YouTube, Google Video, podcasts), totaling 1312 voice recording samples. In four regression models each predicting a separate measure of fighting ability (win percentages, number of fights, Elo ratings, and retirement status), no acoustic measure significantly predicted fighting ability above and beyond covariates. However, after fight statistics, fight history, height, weight, and age were used to extract underlying dimensions of fighting ability via factor analysis, pitch and formant position negatively predicted “Fighting Experience” and “Size” factor scores in a multivariate regression model, explaining 3–8% of the variance. Our findings suggest that lower male pitch and formants may be valid cues of some components of fighting ability in men.

Pro-Science, Anti-Science and Neutral Science in Online Videos on Climate Change, Vaccines and Nanotechnology

Online video has become a relevant tool to disseminate scientific information to the public. However, in this arena, science coexists with non-scientific or pseudoscientific beliefs that can influence people’s knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Our research sets out to find empirical evidence of the representation of pro-science, anti-science and neutral stances in online videos. From a search on Google videos, we conducted content analysis of a sample of videos about climate change, vaccines and nanotechnology (n = 826). Results indicate that a search through Google videos provides a relatively small representation of videos with an anti-science stance, which can be regarded as positive, given the high potential influence of this search engine in spreading scientific information among the public. Our research also provides empirical evidence of the fact that an anti-science stance is more frequent in user-generated content than in videos disseminated by other types of producers.

News coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic: Missed opportunities to promote health sustaining behaviors.

BackgroundGiven that individuals may make health decisions based on mass media coverage, and given that such decisions have broad consequences in the case of highly contagious infectious disease, it is imperative that public health practitioners are aware of mass media coverage on emerging health threats such as COVID-19. The purpose of this study was to examine the content of news segments covering COVID-19 posted on-line.MethodsUsing the Google Videos function on a cleared browser, all videos identified from January and February, 2020 were archived by URL for analysis. After applying exclusion criteria, a total of 401 remained, comprising the sample. Content categories derived from trusted sources were applied to assess the content of broadcast news segments pertaining to COVID-19 on Google Videos.ResultsThe most common topic mentioned across all videos was death and the death rate (43.6%) and many connoted anxieties surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak (37.4%). Critically important information about the prevention of COVID-19 spread received little attention. For example, only 3.0% of videos discussed coughing into or blowing one's nose into a tissue and throwing the tissue away, 6.2% talked about wearing a facemask when caring for the ill, and 8.8% covered disinfecting highly touched objects and surfaces. International videos more often presented captions and English subtitles (with and without narration) (7.8% vs. 0.9%, p = 0.018) and even more frequently discussed death and the death rate associated with COVID-19 (56.9% vs. 41.7%, p = 0.04).ConclusionCoupled with the resultant increase in negative emotion, the majority of videos missed an opportunity to reframe messages to encourage and promote coping strategies and health sustaining behaviors. Future videos should avoid contributing to negative emotion.

Evaluation of surgical educational videos available for third year medical students

ABSTRACT Objectives: In this study we evaluated 40, top recommended, laparoscopic appendectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos located on public domain websites using eight criteria created by a panel of third year medical students and general surgeons. We hypothesized that there is a lack of quality, thorough educational laparoscopic surgical videos appropriate for third year medical students to review in preparation for the Surgery rotation. Methods: Utilizing a panel, which included four third year medical students and two general surgeons, we created an ‘ideal medical student educational video checklist.’ This checklist included 8 vital criteria. We selected 40, top recommended, videos available on YouTube and Google Video search engines, using ‘laparoscopic cholecystectomy’ and ‘laparoscopic appendectomy’ as key terms. Each video was evaluated by four third year medical students individually, using a binary system ‘meets’ or ‘does not meet’ each criterion. Individual scores were averaged, producing a single score for each video. Results: 0/40 (0%) of the videos met all eight of the criteria. 26/40 (65%) of the videos did not meet half of the criteria. The top performing videos 7/40 (17%) only met 5/8 criteria. Conclusions: We identified a lack of quality and thorough educational surgical videos appropriate for third year medical students and a need for improved online video based instruction. Our checklist can be utilized as a guide for anyone creating surgical videos for medical student education in the future.

A video review of cognitive factors contributing to concussive impacts in sport

ObjectiveTo explore cognitive factors contributing to concussive impacts in athletes.BackgroundCognitive training programs are becoming an increasingly popular strategy for improving athletic performance. Such programs may have potential to decrease athletes’ concussion risk by improving athletes’ ability to avoid and appropriately react to imminent impacts in the athletic environment. Understanding what cognitive factors contribute to concussive impacts may provide insight into the most appropriate cognitive training regimens for concussion risk reduction.Design/MethodsYouTube videos depicting 100 concussive impacts in athletes were identified via Google video search. Two reviewers independently classified the primary cognitive factor contributing to each impact as one of the following: useful field of view (UFOV, unanticipated/unrecognized impacts coming from outside the athlete’s field of view), field dependence (FD, unanticipated/unrecognized impacts resulting from the athlete’s attention being so focused on an athletic task that the pending impact was not recognized), processing speed (PS, anticipated/recognized impacts occurring too quickly for the athlete to complete an evasive or protective maneuver), or motion perception (MP, anticipated/recognized impacts occurring with sufficient time to respond but associated with a poorly planned or implemented motor response). Descriptive statistics were calculated.Results98 videos were reviewed to yield 100 concussive impacts. 98% of the concussed athletes were males. Concussions occurred during American football (53%), ice hockey (29%), soccer (3%), basketball (3%), as well as 9 other sports (12%). The most commonly contributing cognitive factor was MP (32%), followed by FD (30%), UFOV (23%), and PS (15%).ConclusionsMultiple cognitive factors contribute to concussive impacts in athletes, with MP and FD being the most common in our sample. Cognitive training programs intending to reduce concussion risk in athletes should not focus only on one cognitive factor. Future work should also explore differences between sports and positions.

Early recognition of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes during sports activity.

IntroductionSudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in athletes is an unexpected life-threatening event, which is often not recognised early and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is not always initiated immediately. We describe key features to rapidly recognise non-traumatic SCA in athletes during sports activity.MethodsWe reviewed videos and images of athletes suffering from non-traumatic SCA during sports activity. We searched Google images, Google videos and YouTube.com using the keywords ‘sudden cardiac death athlete’ and ‘resuscitation athlete’. We analysed (1) the athlete’s performance before syncope, (2) the athlete’s performance at the start of syncope, (3) the position of the body, and (4) the athlete’s facial expressions before CPR. We analysed our data by describing these four features to answer our research question.ResultsWe analysed the sequence of events in six well-known soccer players in whom a camera-witnessed non-traumatic SCA occurred during their athletic activity. All six athletes showed no changes before syncope. Four became unstable while standing and unexpectedly collapsed falling on their back. Two suddenly ‘dropped dead’ and fell face down. All six had their eyes wide open with a fixed gaze and fixed pupils.ConclusionsSudden unexpected loss of consciousness in an athlete in action and a fixed gaze eye position are key features of SCA. Immediate cardiac massage should follow. The described features to immediately recognise SCA in athletes during sports activity should be taught to everyone involved in athletic activity leading to earlier recognition of SCA followed by earlier CPR.

Quality of Social Media and Web-Based Information Regarding Inappropriate Nuclear Cardiac Stress Testing and the Choosing Wisely Campaign: A Cross-Sectional Study.

BackgroundThe World Wide Web and social media provide the public with access to medical information unlike any other time in human history. However, the quality of content related to cardiac stress testing is not well understood.ObjectiveThe aim of our study was to evaluate the quality of content on the Internet relating to the use of cardiac nuclear stress testing and the Choosing Wisely campaign.MethodsWe searched the World Wide Web, Google Video (including YouTube), and Twitter for information relating to these two topics. Searches were performed using English language terms from a computer in the United States not logged into any personal user accounts. Search results were reviewed for discussion of specific topics including radiation risk, accuracy of testing, alternative testing options, and discouragement of inappropriate test use.ResultsWe evaluated a total of 348 items of content from our searches. Relevant search results for Choosing Wisely were fewer than for other search terms (45 vs 303). We did not find any content which encouraged inappropriate testing (ie, screening in low risk individuals or testing prior to low risk operations). Content related to Choosing Wisely was more likely to discourage inappropriate testing than search results for other terms (29/45, 64% vs 12/303, 4.0%, odds ratio 43.95, 95% CI 17.6-112.2, P<.001).ConclusionsThe Internet content on nuclear stress tests consistently discouraged inappropriate testing. The Choosing Wisely content was more likely to discourage inappropriate testing, less relevant content was available. Generating authoritative content on the Internet relating to judicious use of medical interventions may be an important role for the Choosing Wisely campaign.

Current Trends and Patterns of Technology Use in Higher Education

Education can be identified as one of the fast growing sociological subsector in any country in the world. Many developing countries have picked this as the key for the success and any sort of development in education has a direct impact to the development of the country. Knowledge and the information play a vital role in individual level or at university level. Technological improvements such as printing machines, postal services, telephone, radio, television, and the Internet, have been a driving forces yielding to new delivery methods and platforms. The purpose of this study was to determine how the education system has grown and identify the current trends and patterns in higher education teaching and learning. Journal articles were referred to identify the trends and patterns, which have evolved in the higher education. Educational technologies are used in most educational systems for a variety of purposes; such as delivering knowledge and managing teaching/ learning process, as well a media for communication between learners and instructors and between learners and their peers. There are dozens of technologies used in e-learning. Out of the variety of online resources available students are more focused towards ideas and concepts related to their content such as simulations, animations, models, videos, or audio clips, etc. There are websites, which contain educational videos such as YouTube, TeacherTube, Google Video, and other online video repositories, with the usage becoming increasingly common. Therefore, it is important to perform an analysis on technological trends and current usage of IT related characteristics in the higher education teaching and learning in Sri Lankan context.

What Happened to User Manuals?

The article focuses on the disappearance of user manuals included in technology products with the advent of the search engine Google and online video tutorials such as YouTube. Topics covered include the popularity of online communities and answer web sites where users can search for terms, topics faster and post questions for other people, and decline in computer-book sales, printed encyclopedias, newspaper classified ads and music on discs due to the popularity of the Internet.

YouTube, Google, and the Rise of Internet Video

Although Google had a stellar performance in Web search, many of its other services, such as Google Video, were less successful. This case describes how YouTube came to dominate the video market for user-generated content (UGC), while Google Video tried various entry strategies and ultimately failed, ending with the acquisition of YouTube. It also reviews the various competitors in the UGC market, chronicles the entry of established and new players in the area of professionally generated content (PGC), and outlines the key challenges related to monetizing the acquisition of YouTube for Google.The case discusses when and how to enter winner-take-all markets characterized by very strong network externalities. It focuses on the strategies of new entrants vs. those of incumbents in adjacent industries that seek to leverage their resources and skills. Further, it sheds light on how new industries are created, how convergence is changing competitive forces, how important it is to be a first or late mover in new markets, and how successful entrants may struggle to achieve profitability.
