Online food retail business and consumer behavior after the COVID-19 pandemic

At the end of 2019 the world experienced a great unexpected change by the generation of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19, where companies and consumers experienced changes in order to face this situation. The objective of this research was to conduct a study of online food sales businesses and consumer behaviour derived from the pandemic COVID-19 in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, in order to understand these changes, detect areas of opportunity and establish improvement strategies that strengthen this type of post-pandemic businesses. A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional methodology was used, a convenience sampling was carried out with 120 cases and the measurement instrument used was based on the survey conducted by Huaman, Nuñez and Untama using the Likert scale, with which information of a social, personal, labour income, quality of care and bio safety nature was obtained [20]. The main results of the study indicate that there is a significant change in consumer behaviour with respect to online food businesses, especially in the form of online and physical purchase, as well as in the bio safety factor.

Adenoma Detection Rate and Polyp Detection Rate among Gastroenterology Fellows and Consultants in a Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines: A Cross-sectional Study.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Likewise in the Philippines, the prevalence of CRC has shown to be increasing. Colonoscopy, a screening procedure for CRC, has parameters to gauge quality of detection. One of which is the Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR). Higher ADR has been linked to improved cancer detection. This study aimed to determine the ADR and Polyp Detection Rate (PDR) among Gastroenterology practitioners in a tertiary government university hospital in the Philippines, estimate ADR from PDR, and identify factors associated with ADR. An analytical, cross-sectional study among patients who underwent colonoscopy for the years 2021 and the first half of 2022 at the Central Endoscopy Unit (CENDU) of the Philippine General Hospital. Demographic data of fellows and consultants were collected through an online form, while those from patients were obtained from electronic records. Colonoscopy details and histopathology results were accessed through the hospital's Open Medical Record System (MRS). ADR, PDR, and estimated ADR were computed using established formulas. To evaluate the strength of the relationship between the estimated and actual ADR, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used. Chi-square analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis H test were performed to identify the factors that might influence the ADR. A cut-off of p <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The total computed ADR of consultants and fellows combined is 22%. The difference between the ADRs of Gastroenterology consultants and Fellows-in-Training is statistically significant at 31.6% and 18.7%, respectively (p= 0.017). The total Polyp Detection Rate is 57.6% while the weighted group average Adenoma to Polyp Detection Rate Quotient (APDRQ) is 0.4085 or 40.85%. The estimated ADR has a moderate degree of correlation with the actual ADR when an outlier was excluded (r=0.521 (95% CI, 0.072-0.795, p=0.0266). Significant factors related to ADR include endoscopists' years of practice (p=0.020), number of colonoscopies done (p=0.031), and patient tobacco use (p=0.014). The overall ADR among consultants and fellows is at par with the standard guidelines. A moderate degree of correlation exists between actual and estimated ADR when an outlier is excluded; however, more studies are needed to determine the APDRQ in the wider local setting. Longer years in practice, total number of colonoscopies performed, and patient tobacco use are associated with increased ADR.

These professionals develop clinical research (76.1%), focusing on therapies and/or treatments (38.1%), and use sound therapy (52.38%) as the main technological resource of their studies. Conclusion: the research profile is clinical, with a main focus on therapies and/or treatments for tinnitus. As for the procedures, there is a predominant application of the Visual Analogue Scale- VAS and the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory- THI as evaluation protocols and sound therapy as the main technological resource of their studies.

Attitudes of Future Nurses and Midwives On Organ Donation and Transplantation and Affecting Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The objective of this study was to assess the attitudes of undergraduate nursing and midwifery students toward organ donation and identify the factors that influence these attitudes. The study was conducted at Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, Bucak School of Health, in Turkey. A total of 700 students participated in the study, representing 88.49% of the population. Online forms were used for data collection, and the Organ Donation Attitude Scale was used as a data collection tool. Our results showed that 47.9% of the students had not expressed a desire to donate their organs, and only 0.1% reported having donated organs. Additionally, 41.4% of the participants did not share their thoughts on organ donation with their families. Our study also found that 87.4% of the participants had not participated in any training program on organ donation. Logistic regression analysis revealed that factors such as students' sex, progress toward completion of curriculum (ie, class year), presence of a family member with organ transplant experience, organ donation status, and knowledge of organ donation influenced the participants' attitudes toward organ donation. This study highlights the need for health care professionals, including nursing students, to be educated and prepared to promote and support organ donation. By understanding the factors that influence attitudes, interventions and educational programs can be developed to improve organ donation rates and address misconceptions or concerns among nursing students.

Knowledge and perceived confidence of Brazilian psychiatrists about eating disorders´ diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

To investigate Brazilian psychiatrists ́ knowledge and perceived confidence, both in diagnosis and in evidence-based treatments for eating disorders (ED). In this cross-sectional study, 259 psychiatrists filled out an online form including: sociodemographic data, questions about ED diagnosis and management based on standard guidelines. Descriptive statistics described sample characteristics and levels of ED knowledge and perceived confidence. Sample was composed mainly by women (65,64%), with mean age of 42.86, from the Southeast of Brazil (56,37%), working predominantly in private practice (59,85%), with less than ten years of experience in Psychiatry (51,74%). We found that 33.21% of participants correctly chose diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa (AN); 29.73% for bulimia nervosa (BN), and 38.22% for binge eating disorder (BED). Correct answers for therapeutic options were similar in BN and BED (20.8%), being considerably lower for AN (2.7%). Additionally, reported ED training were: 15.1% during medical school; 59.8% during medical residency/postgraduate studies; 58.7% as complementary training. Only 8.89% felt satisfied with their ED training; 50.97% felt confident diagnosing ED and 37.07% in managing ED patients. These results demonstrated an important gap in ED knowledge of Brazilian psychiatrists, and its consequences on their confidence and competence in managing ED patients.

Correlation between Sleep Patterns, Weight, and Height Among Indonesian Female Boarding School Students

Background: Sleep is essential for growth, development, and health, with inadequate sleep linked to risks such as obesity, hypertension, and mood disorders. Sleep patterns differ by sex, with females often experiencing poorer quality and greater susceptibility to disturbances due to factors like the menstrual cycle. Adolescents, particularly boarding students, face unique sleep challenges from academic and extracurricular demands, potentially impacting growth. This study is aimed at studying the relationship between sleep patterns and height within Indonesian female boarding school students to understand the influence of sleep on their physical development. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in a boarding school in East Java, enrolling female students aged 13-17 years. Height and weight were assessed with standard anthropometric techniques. The BMI was computed and categorized according to age-specific percentiles. An online form collected data on bedtime, wake-up time, and sleep duration. SPSS was used for data analysis and Pearson’s correlation to explore relationships between sleep patterns and height. Result: This study included 127 female students with a mean BMI of 20.9±3.31. Mean height and weight were 154.57±5.45 and 50,08±9.38, respectively. 76% of subjects had an average of 5–5.5 hours of sleep per day. There was no significant relationship between the two (Pearson correlation=-0.009; Sig. 2-tailed=0.0923). There was a slight tendency that less sleep was associated with a slight decrease in height, but very weak and not significant (Pearson correlation = -0.090; Sig. 2-tailed = 0.313). Conclusion: Although females in boarding schools experience reduced sleep duration, they maintain normal weight and height.

Social networks and risk of eating disorders in Chilean young adults.

Introduction: in Western societies, social networks are prominent sources of information and entertainment, widely accessed due to internet availability. While social networks offer health benefits, their impact varies across generations and populations. Concerns arise about their influence on mental health, with potential hindrance to social relationships. Social networks are recognized as contributors to eating disorders, influencing nutritional behaviors and impacting self-perception negatively. For this, the objective of present study was determining the association between the risk of eating disorders (ED) and the use of social networks in young adults in the Araucanía Region of Chile. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on the young adult population. The subjects were recruited online through crucial social networks between November and December 2021. A self-reported online form was administered, asking for sociodemographic variables, social network use, and risk of eating disorders. The EAT-26 was applied for the latter variable. To determine the association between variables, each condition was dichotomized against the presence or absence of ED risk. Results: a total of 370 responses were collected, representing females (62.7 %) primarily from the 20-28 age group (79.5 %) and from the university student group (54.9 %); 12.9 % of the sample were at risk of ED. The variables associated with a higher risk of an eating disorder were being female (p = 0.001), preference for Twitter (p = 0.017), interest in food influencers (p = 0.008), and perceived frequency of advertising (p = 0.007). Conclusion: in this sample, there is an association between the use of social networks and the risk of ED, but this depends mainly on the social network used and exposure/preference of food-related content.

Sociodemographic factors related to internet addiction among adolescents in Serbia

Background/Aim. The term ?internet addiction? (IA) describes a compulsive behavior associated with any online activity that disrupts everyday social interactions. The aim of this study was to determine risk factors and predictors of the development of IA in adolescents. Methods. Data were collected using an online form consisting of demographic data, questions related to the use of the Internet, and the Internet Addiction Test (version for adolescents). Results. A total of 1,669 respondents participated in this research; 1,040 of them (62.3%) were female, 590 (35.4%) were male, and 39 (2.3%) did not want to declare their gender. The average age of the respondents was 15.09 ? 1.757 years. Significant factors in the multivariate factor analysis model were age, addictive substance use frequency, purpose, and time spent on the Internet (p &lt; 0.05). Analysis results indicate that the risk of developing IA was higher if an adolescent spent 1? 3 hrs and more than 3 hrs daily on the Internet (2.8 and 8.2 times, respectively). With increasing age numbers for one unit (year), the risk of developing IA was decreasing by 11.3%. Conclusion. According to the findings of the present study, the relationship between IA and age, addictive substance use frequency, purpose, and time spent on the Internet has been proven. These results should be highlighted so that educators and all those who work with children could create targeted treatments to prevent the development of IA in adolescents.

ДОШКОЛЬНОЕ ЭТНОКУЛЬТУРНОЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ НА ТЕРРИТОРИЯХ ТРАДИЦИОННОГО ПРИРОДОПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ КОРЕННЫХ МАЛОЧИСЛЕННЫХ НАРОДОВ ЮГРЫ НА ПРИМЕРЕ ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОГО ПРОЕКТА «СТОЙБИЩНАЯ ШКОЛА-САД»

The paper describes an online form of pre-school education for children of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North, organized in nomadic camps. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate how parents of preschoolers participating in the project “Nomadic kindergartens” assess its performance. The questionnaire survey data obtained in 2023 are used in the paper. It has been proved that a key factor is a socio-psychological one. As the child grows and reaches preschool/primary school age, the online format of education in nomadic camps allows adapting it to new social conditions and consider its ethnocultural component during the education.

Psychometric properties of the emotional regulation questionnaire in a Colombian sample

Introduction: The Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is implemented to evaluate two typical emotion management strategies (reappraisal and suppression). This instrument has shown to present sufficient validity and reliability with different populations. However, up to now in Colombia, an exhaustive analysis of the psychometric properties of said instrument, which includes factorial invariance, has not been carried out. Method: A psychometric study was carried out with a sample of 1,500 adults (749 women), belonging to different regions of Colombia, by way of an online form. The analysis of the information was carried out with the methodological assumptions of the Classical Test Theory, including a factorial invariance analysis. Results: The ERQ items explain 55.72% of the variance; it is identified, according to a confirmatory structural equations model, that the complete scale works according to the original scale and others translated in the Latin American context. In the same way, it is determined that the ERQ complies with the factorial invariance assumptions (except according to age) and presents adequate levels of internal consistency. Discussion: The ERQ is a useful instrument for discriminating people’s ability to regulate their emotions in the face of demands posed by the social context in which they interact. A subsequent study is suggested for the establishment of scales according to age groups.

Changes in Participant Interactions. Using Focus Group Analysis Methodology to Explore the Impact on Participant Interactions of Face-to-Face Versus Online Video Data Collection Methods

Qualitative data collection using online focus groups is increasing in popularity. However this may change the way discussion is created and steered by the participants and facilitators in these focus groups and so potentially influence the data collected. In a focus group study exploring end of life family conversations in African and Caribbean heritage communities, two focus groups were held face-to-face and a further three took place online using the online video conference software, Microsoft teams. Sociograms and an interaction questionnaire were used to analyse participant interactions in each group. The study involved 21 participants across the five groups. The use of sociograms showed that direct participant to participant interactions were rarer in the online groups, most interactions went via the facilitator who as a result retained more power over the direction of the conversation. Participants responses analysed using the interaction questionnaire showed that participants were stimulated by the experiences of others in both contexts. The facilitator found it harder to create rapport in the online groups than in the face-to-face groups where conversation between participants seemed to flow more smoothly. The observer notes suggested that non-verbal communication was less evident in the online groups. In larger groups people made more use of turn taking using the hands-up function and chat box than in smaller groups where all participants could see each other more easily on screen. Researchers need to be aware of the impact of different delivery modalities on group interactions and how this may change the power dynamics of who is controlling the narrative and therefore the data generated. Group facilitators may need find it useful to develop skills needed to maximise the conversational element of online forms of data collection.

How Has High School Learned from the Global Pandemic?

The study focuses on the consequences of the pandemic for the further development of higher education. The purpose of the article is to summarize the main consequences of the pandemic, which have become the result of scientific analysis and the object of many scientific studies. These are the degree of students' satisfaction with online learning, technological readiness of universities, the impact of new learning conditions on the psychological and emotional sphere, the problem of cheating at examinations, the problem of quality of education. Analysis of studies shows that in the academic environment there are different estimates of the pandemic period, sometimes they are of opposite nature. In spite of possibilities of online education universities tend to return to the full-time form of education. The study emphasizes that there are long-term consequences of the pandemic that are on the periphery of researchers' attention. These are the legal and economic consequences for universities, as the online form of learning has acquired a different legal status. In addition, the introduction of online learning is inevitably associated with additional hardware and software costs. Another important consequence is the impact of the pandemic on academic culture. Under the pandemic, students were isolated from the traditional academic environment, which affected the transformation of social rituals and academic ethics. Academic Values. Since there has been no complete return to previous conditions and the threat of a global pandemic exists, the new experience is integrated into the existing system of academic values and serves as a trigger for change in the long term.

“The Ostrava Language” in the travelogue narrative

The article considers the Slavic micro-language formed by the dialects of the inhabitants of Czech Silesia, which is able to form something like the diglossia with the Standard Czech language on the territory of the region. In most of the territory of the Czech Republic (the western two-thirds of its area), the Standard Czech language forms a diglossia-like relations with the so-called Common Czech language. The language of the works of the modern Ostrava blogger and writer L. Větvička represents a successful symbiosis of the southern dialects of Czech Silesia, the Standard Czech language and partly the Common Czech language. The analysis of the language of his travelogue published in 2019 led us to the conclusion, that the so-called Ostrava micro-language is a dynamically developing phenomenon, the functioning of which is by no means limited to oral speech. The appearance in print and on-line form of such literary texts destroys the diglossia that has historically developed in the region, since the non-literary idiom penetrates into the position of the literary one. On the other hand, such texts strengthen the position of the Ostrava micro-language, which sounds in the reader’s mind whenever the texts are read.

Socio-professional insertion of women in beef cattle in Brazil

The factors involving the management of rural properties go beyond merely productive issues as they involve generational aspects and gender issues. This study aims to analyze the socio-professional insertion of women in management and decision-making in various beef cattle farming plans in Brazil. The research took place in 2020, with 70 women, distributed across seven Brazilian states. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires consisting of open and closed questions, in intentional sampling, with quantitative and qualitative variables sent through a link to an online form via WhatsApp or E-mail, to people related to the researchers, or of the respondents themselves. The results show that 61% of the women in the sample are between 30 and 59 years old, half of them are married and 94% have a higher education degree. In relation to its production units, 84% belong to the family, while 63% are considered large. Regarding direct interference and decision-making power, 52% of cases stated that they always decide alone when it comes to purchasing inputs and animals, 56% in health management and 60% in reproductive management and genetic choice. When analyzing the management of establishments, it is clear that women are the main managers in 33% of cases while the father figure appears in 38% of decisions. Although higher than the national average (18.6%), as shown by data from the last Agricultural Census, the results showed that in this sample universe, women still occupy the supporting role in an eminently male agricultural sector. These results allow to conclude that although there have been significant improvements in more recent periods, women are still in the process of being inserted into culturally masculine activities, such as beef cattle farming, where the main tool for inclusion is educational level.

Reflections of COVID-19 on Teacher Education: A Metaphor Study for Distance Education

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, distance education replaced face-to-face education in the 2019-2020 academic year in Turkey. This basic qualitative study was conducted to show the metaphorical perceptions of teacher candidates about synchronous distance university education. In this study, 178 teacher candidates, including 79 secondary mathematics, 49 science, and 50 elementary teacher candidates studying in a public university in the Central Anatolia Region in the 2019-2020 academic year, were selected with the convenience sampling method. The data were collected online due to the pandemic with an online form which includes the phrase “Distance university education is like… because…”. The teacher candidates provided 173 well-structured metaphors about distance education. The content analysis method was used for data analysis. The findings obtained in this study showed that comfort, YouTube, home, incomplete, comfort, holiday, and emptiness metaphors were particularly used. Metaphors used by teacher candidates were collected under 17 different categories as "hardware", "satisfaction", "interaction", "future", "need", "complex", "comfort", "obligation", "motivation", "spiritual", "virtual", "systemic", "responsibility", “accessibility”, “suitability”, “efficiency” and “time”. The content analysis results revealed thatmetaphors differed according to the needs and nature of the departments. It is recommended to create solutions specific to the departments and prefer distance education methods suitable for the lessons.

SANAL SINIF ESTETİĞİ: GÖRSEL İLETİŞİM TEKNOLOJİSİ, KATILIM VE HETEROKRON ORTAK ZAMAN

This article explores how immediate communication of synchronous education via virtual classrooms poses questions on implementing visual communication technologies of social surveillance. The striking global transformation of education to synchronous and asynchronous forms of online and hybrid education during the COVID-19 pandemic has reformed the usual teaching and learning methods. Hence, the immediate experience of virtuality also affected the public sphere notion of classrooms, where students socialize and encounter political culture. Building on the content analysis of qualitative research on student experiences of remote education in Turkey, we conducted an online survey with 325 university students with the purpose of understanding their experiences and attitudes toward online education. We theoretically explore how virtual classroom participants construct their social world of education through the aesthetic affordances of digital platforms. Grounded in critical theories of aesthetics that have previously been elaborated on an abstract level, we investigate how time and space compression, enabled by immediate communication technologies, translates into students’ experiences of participation, use of visual communication, and their everyday resistance to surveillance. The research revealed that online education design as implemented today is far from encouraging a public space, and the university students generally underestimate their role in creating a public space through their active participation in discussions. This loss of social spaces should be elaborated and problematized in the future for a better transition to hybrid and online education modules.
