Abstract Background Quality communication between patients & HCPs is important to help to identify/address treatment gaps. Who initiates this communication may vary, but impact of good quality communication as a marker of successful care has not been fully explored in PLHIV. We investigated whether perceived comfort discussing salient issues with HCPs differed between PLHIV with vs without specific treatment challenges. Methods We analyzed self-reported data for 520 PLHIV from the 2019 Positive Perspectives study from Canada and USA. Engagement in care (low, moderate, high), was modified from the Observing Patient Involvement scale. Using Chi-squared tests, we compared communication barriers among those uncomfortable discussing with their HCP (p< .05). Results Mean age was 39.6 years. Perceived comfort discussing salient issues with HCPs was significantly lower among PLHIV with than without the specified challenges: discussing side effects (those experiencing side effects=50.4%[135/268] vs without=60.7%[153/252], p=.018); discussing privacy concerns (those hiding medications=41.3%[138/334] vs not hiding =66.7%[124/186], p< .001); discussing adherence challenges (those with suboptimal =42.4%[78/184] vs optimal adherence=57.7%[194/336], p=.001); discussing concerns about HIV illnesses (those without viral suppression=43.1%[90/209] vs virally suppressed=64.6%[201/311], p< .001); and discussing impact of HIV on their life (45.4%[100/220] vs 62.7%[188/300] among those reporting vs not reporting that HIV negatively impacts their life, respectively, p< .001). Among those uncomfortable discussing HCP/clinic-related barriers (eg, no time during visits, worried HCP might perceive them as “difficult”) and limited self-efficacy were particularly more prevalent among those with vs without specific challenges (Figure 2). Pooled analysis showed that optimal self-rated health was 33.9%[42/124]; 52.1%[112/215]; and 68.5%[124/181] among those with low, moderate, & high engagement (p< .001, Figure 3). Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Conclusion Individuals uncomfortable discussing issues with their HCP reported greater treatment challenges. Proactive HCP-driven high-quality communications with all patients is necessary to help address these concerns.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how diversity climate in service organizations influence employee learning behavior. Additionally, the study examined the mediating effects of psychological safety and communication satisfaction between diversity climate and learning behavior. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 128 hotel and lodging managers by administering survey questionnaires. The dual mediational model was tested using the mediation test suggested by Preacher and Hayes (2008). Findings – Results indicated that when managers perceived a positive diversity climate they also reported high engagement in learning behavior. Additionally, the study found the mediating effects of psychological safety and communication satisfaction. Originality/value – The importance of learning behavior has been noted by researchers and practitioners because of its influence on service performance. Learning behavior is especially important in complex, error prone, and fast changing businesses like the services industry. This research contributes to the existing body of research by examining the influence of diversity climate on learning behavior, which has not been investigated empirically in the literature. The current research not only makes a significant contribution to the learning and diversity literature, but also informs practitioners how learning behavior can be increased and how diversity climate can be created in within service organizations, in particularly hospitality.

This paper introduces readers to core concepts around cyber wargaming. Wargames can be powerful learning tools, but few wargames exist to teach players about cyber security. By way of highlighting possibilities in this space, the author has developed an original educational tabletop wargame based on the UK National Cyber Security Strategy and deployed the game to a variety of organisations to determine its pedagogic efficacy. Overall, it is found that the game was effective in generating high-engagement participation and clear learning opportunities. Furthermore, there are design lessons to be learned from existing games for those seeking to use wargames for cyber security training and education.

The Brexit referendum was among the first major public events where online users had no "slacktivism" reactions and they led the entire debate and popular will from the inside of the online world to the real world. It is becoming increasingly clear that Social Media is becoming an increasingly powerful tool in political debates, and during the parliamentary, presidential, European parliamentary or even referendum elections, it becomes the channel that can decide the final outcome. However, the debate in the online environment can be altered by two important factors: (1) political bots - which can manipulate public opinion by posting in a large number of fake news and (2) "slacktivism" reactions from online users. , who are content only to quickly distribute unverified information or to push impulse driven on the "like" button and to scroll further. This study focused on analyzing the frequency with which European institutions spoke about Brexit on their Facebook pages and on identifying and analyzing the messages that generate high engagement from users. Thus, we will analyze all the posts published by the three major European institutions - the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union - starting on the first day after the Brexit Referendum in the UK (24 June 2016) until 24 June 2019.

Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) can be used as a resource repository but also as an environment to encourage independent student learning. Customised online assignments that can be assembled by the lecturer can be found in teaching resources such as Mastering Biology, developed by Pearson Publishers. In this study, student engagement in both summative and formative assignments was measured, and student attainment and qualitative feedback on the use of Mastering Biology was collected.During the period 2010-2017, the online VLE Mastering Biology was used to create online summative assignments and promoted to the students as ‘incentivized reading.'The results showed high student engagement in summative online assessment (94±3.2%) but lower engagement in formative online assessment (34±10.9%) and DSM assessment (36±3.5%) across all years. Student attainment increased after the introduction of Mastering Biology, in coursework (+13.2%), exams (+12.5%) and total module scores (+10.6%). Importantly, student feedback was also very positive about the implementation of Mastering Biology.This study suggests that students display high engagement with the summative online assessment. Lower engagement in formative assessment could be due to differences in student motivation. Lack of engagement in this assessment could be used to identify disengaged students and intervention and extra support could be given.

ABSTRACT Objective To identify interaction patterns on body size and health on Instagram and associated factors in nutrition students. Methods A total of 406 students (78% female) were included in this cross-sectional study. Instagram sociodemographic, academic and interaction data (Instagram time of use, exposure frequency to contents on body size and health, Instagram as a source of information and number of followers) were collected using a self-administered virtual questionnaire. A factor analysis by main component was used to derive the interaction patterns of Instagram as well as regression analyses to test the association of the patterns with the sociodemographic and academic factors. Results Three interaction patterns were observed on body size and health, named: “Fitness Pattern”; “Body Positivity Pattern” and “High Engagement Pattern”. Private Institutions’ Students who are on or have been on a diet and studying in the first semesters were associated with the “Fitness Pattern” (p<0.05). Female students, from public institutions, who changed their weight during the course and whose family’s head had higher education, were associated with the “Body Positivity Pattern” (p<0.05). Female students, younger and on a diet, were associated with the “High engagement Pattern” (p<0.05). Conclusion Gender, type of educational institution and diet practice of nutrition students are the factors that are most associated with different patterns of interaction on body size and health on Instagram.
