A LITTLE BIT OF EXERCISE GOES A LONG WAY – INCREASING INDEPENDENCE OF AGED CARE RESIDENTS WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE

INTRODUCTION & AIMS Supporting people with Parkinson’s Disease to remain active when living in residential aged care (RAC) is assumed to have benefits, such as reducing falls risk, improving ability to transfer independently, and reducing time spent being sedentary. However, many RAC-facilities are under-resourced making it difficult for staff to support residents with exercise. Accredited exercise physiologists (AEP) enable residents to improve or maintain movement through exercise. The aim of this study was to establish feasibility and value of AEP-services for people with Parkinson’s Disease in RAC. METHODS A 12-week AEP-led exercise program was delivered at multiple RAC-sites across Perth. An individualised exercise plan was designed for each participant, comprising 2 x 50-minute supervised group sessions per week, together with a 15-minute unsupervised morning program. Baseline and follow-up testing was undertaken by the AEP, inclusive of balance (mini-Balance-Evaluation-System-Test (miniBESTest)), mobility (2-minute-walk-distance, Actigraph), fatigue (PD fatigue scale) and quality of life. Descriptive analysis will be presented, reflecting the total hours of AEP-training provided, room attendance records from RAC-staff, and changes in pre-post balance, mobility, falls, quality of life, depression, behaviour, and fatigue. RESULTS To date, five participants have enrolled (3 women; 2 men) (recruitment is ongoing). Individual results for baseline testing showed the range of abilities and challenges for these participants (Mini-BESTest range of 5-16 and 2-minute walk distance of range 0-61). Not all tests could be completed by all participants. Post-test and change scores will be presented. CONCLUSION Due to the clinical heterogeneity of the disease, the AEP is required to prescribe according to each individual needs whilst maintaining the fidelity of the exercise intervention. Challenges have been presented with conducting research in this environment including recruitment of participants due to level of cognition, conflicts with participant scheduling, operational needs of the facility and facility closures (Covid- and gastro-outbreak).

Primena Nušićevih retoričkih postupaka u vođenju jutarnjeg programa Jovane Joksimović

Jovana Joksimović is a journalist and presenter who has devoted most of her career to leading the same show format, which is the morning program, and she has been working on this type of television format for almost 20 years. It is for this reason that she can be considered one of the most experienced presenters in Serbia when it comes to this type of program and the presenter who has been continuously engaged in the form of morning programs in Serbia for the longest time. During her career, she worked on three different commercial television stations, namely: Pink, Prva and K1. It should be noted that on Pink and Prva she often hosted the program together with Srđan Predojević. In addition, she worked with the same colleague at the Public Media Service (RTS). Because of all the above, the subject of this paper is the rhetorical actions of Jovana Joksimović during the morning program. In his book "Rhetorics", Nušić indicates that a good style is based on "clarity and purity of speech, as well as on correct tonal articulations". The basic hypothesis from which the paper is based is that, regardless of the different commercial television channels on which she worked, Jovana Joksimović is prone to the same rhetorical actions such as interrupting the interlocutor or speaking in parallel with the interlocutor, which makes it difficult to follow the conversation she leads. In addition, the research and analysis showed that Jovana Joksimović's journalistic expression is dominated by an illogical and incongruous approach, which has the consequence that there is no proper order during the interviews she does in her television program. Such an approach has far-reaching consequences for the development of a culture of dialogue in the public sphere.

The NBA, China, and Social Media: What are the Rules of the Game?

The protagonist of this case, the general manager of the Golden State Warriors, an NBA dynasty, must contend with the recent controversy between China (the People's Republic of China, or PRC) and the National Basketball Association (NBA) over a proHong Kong tweet, for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong, from the Houston Rockets general manager. Chinese retaliation to this tweet had been swift, with key Rockets marketing partners cutting ties with the team as well as China removing NBA games from the powerful CCTV5, the sports channel controlled by the PRC. As the rest of the NBA and the American public enter the fray, and facing a potential shutout from China, the manager must consider what role the Warriors organization should play in this controversy.This case details the NBA's aggressive attempts to export its brand internationally, the NBA's culture of giving its members unfettered ability to speak out on often controversial issues (unlike other American sports organizations such as the NFL), and the political complexities of dealing with the international powerhouse that is Communist China. It also details the challenges facing the formerly independent (although under British rule) Hong Kong after it was handed back to China in 1997. The situation heated up in April 2019, when the PRC-appointed Hong Kong government proposed the approval of a new law that would allow the PRC to extradite Hong Kong residents. Violent protests ensued, rocking the country and drawing international attention and condemnation. The Warriors franchise had leveraged inroads made by the NBA into the Chinese market effectively over the past decade, building up a loyal and lucrative Chinese fanbase. Many of the Warriors' leading stars were set to hold a basketball clinic as well as a press conference in Shenzhen during the NBA's annual preseason games in China. All this was now threatened, and the manager must decide whether to cancel the trip altogether or make concessions to the Chinese government that would negate the NBA's carefully crafted spirit of individual rights, civil rights, and liberties that partly defined it in the United States. Excerpt UVA-E-0459 Jan. 20, 2021 The NBA, China, and Social Media: What Are the Rules of the Game? Introduction Your name is Michael Sullivan, and you are the general manager of the Golden State Warriors (Warriors). In early October 2019, you had much on your mind as you gazed out your window at the foggy San Francisco morning. You had not been able to ignore the headlines about the recent controversy between China and the National Basketball Association (NBA) over a proHong Kong tweet from Houston Rockets (Rockets) general manager Daryl Morey, which read: Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong. The Chinese retaliation came swiftly, with key Rockets marketing partners cutting ties with the team as well as NBA games being taken off of CCTV5 (the sports channel controlled by the People's Republic of China [PRC]) as regularly scheduled morning programming. As the rest of the NBA and the American public enter the fray, you consider what role your organization should play. . . .

Family bonds in the midst of adversity: Insights into refugee children's coping ways.

This study explored refugee children's ways of coping focusing on their strengths. The present study involved 26 students, 8 Iraqi Kurds, 6 Afghans, and 12 from Syria attending reception classes (called early morning reception zone) in the morning program of two Greek Elementary schools. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews. This study using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) explored the subjective narratives of the participating refugee children. Three superordinate themes relating to the aims of the current research emerged from the data: (1) caring relationships, (2) a place of (and for) safety and (3) new perspectives. Supportive family bonds, being securely resettled with other family members, security of housing and opportunities to study in a supportive school environment were found to be factors which either reduced significant stressors or ameliorated the effects of adverse childhood experiences as regards this study's participants.

Engagement in a Novel Internet Intervention for Alcohol Reduction: A Qualitative Study of User Motivations and Experiences.

Internet interventions are effective in reducing alcohol consumption, but little is known regarding their acceptability. We aimed to inform recruitment and retention strategies by exploring users' motivations and experiences in using a novel, Internet intervention, the Hello Sunday Morning (HSM) program. We conducted one-to-one, telephone-enabled qualitative interviews with 24 adult users of HSM (50 percent female; Mage = 42.42 years), purposively selected to ensure diversity in demographics and drinking levels. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Two themes, each with two subthemes were identified: (1a) pathway to HSM: HSM attracted participants seeking help for alcohol-related problems, and those not yet seeking help; (1b) format and framing: the positive, nonthreatening framing and anonymous, convenient format enabled participants to join out of interest, curiosity, or desire for a challenge; (2a) support and normalization: participants gained social support from other users, and their problems with alcohol and desire to seek help were normalized; (2b) goal setting and self-monitoring: setting goals and monitoring progress provided participants with motivation and self-accountability. We conclude that evidence-based behavior change techniques, including social support, normative strategies, goal setting, and self-monitoring, were appealing to users. These aspects could be incorporated into other programs to recruit participants who might otherwise avoid or delay seeking help.

PROGRAM PLANNING STRATEGIES AMONG OLDER ADULTS PARTICIPATING IN THREE PROGRAMS PROMOTING AGING-IN-COMMUNITY

This study examines program planning strategies among older adults participating in programs promoting aging-in-community (AIC) programs. Older adults from three programs were recruited (n=290): a university-based lifelong learning program (LLP; n=110), a county neighborhood lunch program (NLP; n=84), and a village program (n=96). Mean age was 72.4 (SD=8.68) years and 78% female. Findings showed NLP participants were more likely to obtain health information from TV (p=.030), friends and neighbors (p=.016), family members (p<.001), or mailed advertisement (p<.001); while less likely to obtain health information online (p<.001). Village members preferred afternoon while NLP participants preferred morning programs (p=.025). Most desired frequency was weekly (45%) and delivered in small group modes (68%). NLP participants were more likely to report self as risk takers (29% vs. 17%) or old tradition (23% vs. 3-8%) towards new technology adoption (p<.001). Results have implications on tailored program planning for older adults in different AIC programs.

Once Upon a Wall: Storytime Mural Project Increases Engagement, Attendance

When I first started my position as one half of the team responsible for preschool storytime in summer 2017, attendance at our Friday morning program for kids ages four to six was stagnant and low. Later that summer we also learned that Friday mornings would no longer be a consistent time slot, at least not in fall 2017.

Alcohol Consumption Reduction Among a Web-Based Supportive Community Using the Hello Sunday Morning Blog Platform: Observational Study.

BackgroundAlcohol misuse is a major social and public health issue in Australia, with an estimated cost to the community of Aus $30 billion per annum. Until recently, a major barrier in addressing this significant public health issue is the fact that the majority of individuals with alcohol use disorders and alcohol misuse are not receiving treatment.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess whether alcohol consumption changes are associated with participation in Hello Sunday Morning’s blog platform, an online forum discussing experiences in abstaining from alcohol.MethodsThe study reports on Hello Sunday Morning participants who signed up for a 3-month period of abstinence from November 2009 to November 2016. The sample comprised 1917 participants (female: 1227/1917, 64.01%; male: 690/1917, 35.99%). Main outcome measures were Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) scores, mood, program engagement metrics, and slip-ups.ResultsIndividuals who reported hazardous (preprogram AUDIT mean 11.92, SD 2.25) and harmful consumption levels (preprogram AUDIT mean 17.52, SD 1.08) and who engaged in the Hello Sunday Morning program reported a significant decrease in alcohol consumption, moving to lower risk consumption levels (hazardous, mean 7.59, SD 5.70 and harmful, mean 10.38, SD 7.43), 4 months following program commencement (P<.001). Those who reported high-risk or dependent consumption levels experienced the biggest reduction (preprogram mean 25.38, SD 4.20), moving to risky consumption (mean 15.83, SD 11.11), 4 months following program commencement (P<.001). These reductions in risk were maintained by participants in each group, 7 months following program commencement. Furthermore, those who engaged in the program more (as defined by more sign-ins, blogs posted, check-ins completed, and engagement with the community through likes and following) had lower alcohol consumption. Finally, those who experienced more slip-ups had lower alcohol consumption.ConclusionsParticipation in an online forum can support long-term behavior change in individuals wishing to change their drinking behavior. Importantly, reductions in AUDIT scores appeared larger for those drinking at high-risk and hazardous levels before program commencement. This has promising implications for future models of alcohol reduction treatment, as online forums are an anonymous, accessible, and cost-effective alternative or adjunct to treatment-as-usual. Further research is needed into the specific mechanisms of change within a Web-based supportive community, as well as the role of specific mood states in predicting risky drinking behavior.

Weekday and weekend food advertising varies on children's television in the USA but persuasive techniques and unhealthy items still dominate

ObjectiveIn 2006, food industry self-regulatory efforts aimed to balance the mix of food advertisements to limit children's exposure to unhealthy food products. An update to these efforts proposed to eliminate all unhealthy advertisements during peak child viewing times and implement uniform nutrition criteria by December, 2013. Marketing techniques are not currently addressed in self-regulatory efforts. The food industry's pledge prompted researchers to conduct a content analysis to assess nutritional quality and presence of persuasive marketing techniques in child-directed food and beverage advertisements. Study designContent analysis. Methods32 h of children's television programming were recorded in February, 2013. Three independent coders assessed the nutritional content of food and beverage advertisements using the UK Nutrition Profiling System and assessed presence of persuasive techniques (PTs) using a rating form developed for this study. ResultsOverall, 13.75% of advertisements promoted a food or beverage product. Most food advertisements, 54.6%, represented unhealthy products and 95.48% of food advertisements contained at least one PT. The number of PTs was not significantly different for healthy (M = 4.98, SD = 2.07) and unhealthy food advertisements (M = 4.66, SD = 1.82) however food advertisements aimed at children used significantly more PTs (M = 5.5, SD = 1.43) than those targeting adults (M = 1.52, SD = 1.54), t (153) = 11.738, P < 0.0001. Saturday morning children's programming showed significantly fewer food advertisements compared to weekday morning children's programming. ConclusionsWhile a majority of food-related advertisements represented unhealthy items, advertisements airing during Saturday morning programming featured fewer food advertisements overall and were more frequently for healthier items compared to weekdays. Industry self-regulation may not be effective for reducing overall unhealthy ad exposure but may play a role in reduced exposure on weekends. Despite policy efforts, additional changes are needed to improve ad exposure experienced by children with a focus on addressing the persistent use of persuasive marketing techniques in food advertising intended for children.

Cuban Miami on the Air: Narratives of Cubanía

Radio has been a fundamental aspect of Cuban culture on and off the island since the first broadcast in Havana in 1922. When Cubans fled the island after the revolution of 1959 for the USA, particularly Miami, radio quickly became a vital medium for navigating a new country and for consolidating a Cuban exile identity. Politically, radio in Miami has been an effective means for articulating hardline exile politics. But with generational turnover and increasingly moderate stances on Cuba by more recent arrivals and US-born Cuban Americans, how is radio changing? How are narratives of what constitutes cubanía – Cubanness – shifting in an increasingly diverse Cuban Miami? This article takes up these questions through an examination of an immensely popular morning program that aired in 2009 in southern Florida called the Enrique y Joe Show. I examine how the Enrique y Joe Show, produced and performed by US-born Cuban Americans, utilized a form of irreverent Cuban humor called choteo to represent and satirize the hardline Cuban exile politics that have been dominant on Miami's radio waves for decades. Ultimately, their performances deploy choteo to articulate Cuban American identity divorced from a particular political orthodoxy. The coda reflects on changes in Miami's radio landscape since 2009.

Circadian rhythm of wrist temperature and night shift-work

The stability of the circadian rhythms, especially regarding their amplitude and phase relationship, is a major factor for health. Shift-work and working night shifts are known to be associated with a variety of health problems caused, at least partially, by the disturbance of biological rhythms. Seventeen undergraduate nursing students attending the morning program at Nursing School, and working night shifts as Nursing Technicians, were submitted to the morningness–eveningness questionnaire, sleep logs, and wrist temperature assessment, during two periods of 2 weeks (school term and vacation). The observed prominent ultradian periods and reduced amplitude of the daily rhythm of wrist temperature, in addition to the reduced sleep duration during the school term, reinforce the idea that the mixed routine contributes to the disruption of the expression of the circadian rhythms and may have detrimental effects on safety and performance at work.
