The use of digital technology today can be said to be inseparable in our daily lives. Digital technology isslowly changing the way we communicate with others and the environment. Socialization that is usuallyface-to-face in the real world now can be done to not having to meet face-to-face in cyberspace. Thisliterature review aims to see a change in the way of obtaining data that is growing, with the use of digitaltechnology in ethnographic methods. The method used in this paper is to use descriptive qualitativeresearch methods by analyzing the existing literature. So it can be concluded that the use of digitalethnography in the architectural programming process can be a new way of searching for data at thearchitectural programming stage.

BackgroundMET proto-oncogene amplification (amp) is an important mechanism underlying acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, the optimal treatment strategy after acquiring MET-amp-mediated EGFR-TKI resistance remains controversial. Our study compared three treatment strategies for patients with EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who were detected with MET-amp at EGFR-TKI progression using next-generation sequencing.MethodsOf the 70 patients included in the study, 38 received EGFR-TKI + crizotinib, 10 received crizotinib monotherapy, and 22 received chemotherapy. Clinical outcomes and molecular profiles were analyzed.ResultsThe objective response rate was 48.6% for EGFR-TKI + crizotinib group, 40.0% for crizotinib monotherapy group, and 18.2% for chemotherapy group. Patients who received EGFR-TKI + crizotinib had significantly longer progression-free survival than those who received crizotinib or chemotherapy (5.0 vs. 2.3 vs. 2.9 months, p = 0.010), but overall survival was comparable (10.0 vs. 4.1 vs. 8.5 months, p = 0.088). TP53 mutation (58.5%) and EGFR-amp (42.9%) were frequent concurrent mutations of the cohort. Progression-free survival was significantly longer for patients with either concurrent TP53 mutation (n = 17) (6.0 vs. 2.3 vs. 2.9 months, p = 0.009) or EGFR-amp (n = 13) (5.0 vs. 1.2 vs. 2.4 months, p = 0.016) in the EGFR-TKI + crizotinib group than the other two regimen. Potential acquired resistance mechanisms to EGFR-TKI + crizotinib included EGFR-T790M (n = 2), EGFR-L718Q (n = 1), EGFR-S645C (n = 1), MET-D1228H (n = 1), BRAF-V600E (n = 1), NRAS-Q61H (n = 1), KRAS-amp (n = 1), ERBB2-amp (n = 1), CDK4-amp (n = 1), and MYC-amp (n = 1).ConclusionOur study provides real-world clinical evidence from a large cohort that simultaneous inhibition of EGFR and MET could be a more effective therapeutic strategy for patients with MET-amp acquired from EGFR-TKI therapy.

9098 Background: There is currently no targeted therapy approved for patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations (exon20ins) in NSCLC. Real world treatment outcome evidence for this rare population is limited. This study describes treatment patterns and outcomes in US patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins. Methods: The nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived deidentified database (cut-off 29 Feb 2020) was used to select 4 separate cohorts: (1) first-line (1L): patients receiving 1L therapy after documented exon20ins (1L start date as index date); (2) second or later line (≥2L): patients receiving ≥2L therapy after documented exon20ins (start date of ≥2L as index date); (3) ≥2L trial-aligned: ≥2L patients with baseline characteristics aligned with the key eligibility criteria of mobocertinib Trial NCT02716116 Part 3; and (4) ≥2L post platinum: ≥2L trial-aligned patients previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Real-world endpoints were: confirmed overall response rate (cORR), PFS, and OS. Additional analyses were conducted for patients treated with immune-oncology therapy (IO). Results: Of 237 EGFR exon20ins patients, 129 patients were included in 1L cohort and 114 were in ≥2L cohort, including 63 ≥2L trial-aligned and 50 ≥2L post platinum patients. In 1L patients, EGFR TKI (28.7%) and platinum-based chemotherapy ± IO (56.6%) were the most common 1L regimens. In ≥2L patients, 28.1% received IO monotherapy, 17.5% received EGFR TKI, and 23.7% received platinum-based chemotherapy ± IO as index treatment. In the 1L setting, median PFS (mPFS) was 5.7 months for platinum-based chemotherapy and 4.5 months for IO + platinum-based chemotherapy. In the ≥2L setting, mPFS was 3.7 months for any therapy and 2.3 months for IO monotherapy. Full effectiveness data are provided in the accompanying table. Conclusions: This real world study provided a benchmark on the treatment outcome in patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins. Platinum-based chemotherapy was the most common 1L therapy and provided the longest mPFS. Immunotherapy, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, appeared less effective for treatment of NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins. There is an unmet medical need for improved therapeutic options.[Table: see text]

Technological advances have had an impact on many industries as well as the tourism industry. Augmented reality applications, one of the emerging new technologies in recent years, have also started to be used in our daily lives. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows its users to see the real world together with an additional virtual world that is added in real time to the same field of view. The augmented reality applications contribute to the enrichment of tourists' tourism experiences, especially during their visit and result in augmented satisfaction levels. Furthermore, it is one of the effective tools that can be used against the wear and tear of cultural heritage sites caused by overcrowding. In this chapter, the application fields of the augmented reality in the field of tourism have been discussed under the subtitles. As a result of our study, recommendations for the development of AR applications both for the literature and real-life application have been presented.

Theories of addiction posit that stimuli associated with drug use, including both exteroceptive (e.g., paraphernalia) and interoceptive (e.g., feeling tense or stressed), evoke craving and contribute to the pathogenesis of substance misuse. Control over drug cue response and stress is essential for moderating use. Building from laboratory data supporting associations between cue exposure, stress, and craving, this study tested whether these associations generalize to real-world settings and examined whether a well-vetted neurocognitive control capacity (i.e., working memory, or WM) moderated associations. Youths ( N = 85; 15–24 years old) completed baseline and ecological momentary assessments. Cue exposure and participants’ average stress predicted higher craving. Youths with weaker WM experienced stronger craving at higher-stress moments but not when faced with cues. Interactions were present for both previous-moment and same-moment stress. Craving among adolescents with stronger WM was not swayed by momentary stress. Findings suggest that stronger WM protects against craving at more stressful moments.

Foreigners who learn 'Bahasa Indonesia' in Indonesia actually learn Indonesian as a Second Language in the real-world settings. They practice Indonesian in Indonesian-speaking culture so that they expect to improve their Indonesian proficiency in a conducive language environment. In this paper, the writer would like to investigate why and how the foreign students learn it at Ubaya Language Center in Surabaya, Indonesia for about one semester. As a matter of fact, a language is also a part of culture, therefore, when they learn the Indonesian cultural activities, they might also learn the Indonesian language through cultural exposure. Based on his overall survey findings, the participants or the foreign students learning Indonesian at ULC had some reasons, such as chance for working career, for travelling, and for improving the language competence. They also used the Indonesian skills in their daily lives. This conducive language environment, their motivation and strategies in learning Indonesian in Indonesia would also enhance the success of their language learning.

IntroductionOsimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is widely used as the first-line treatment for EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, most cases ultimately acquire resistance to osimertinib, and no effective treatment has been currently established for cases having progressive disease (PD) with osimertinib. In clinical practice, EGFR-TKI therapy could be continued beyond response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (RECIST)-defined PD cases when they are clinically stable. Currently, the progression pattern of osimertinib and criteria for identifying patients who might benefit from osimertinib beyond PD are unknown. In addition, the efficacy and safety of osimertinib as the first-line treatment in real-world clinical practice remain unclear in Japan. This multicentre study was designed to evaluate the real-world data on first-line osimertinib and its post-treatment.Methods and analysisThe study enrols patients with EGFR mutation-positive, advanced or recurrent NSCLC who received EGFR-TKI as the first-line therapy after 1 September 2018, from October 2019 to August 2020, and those started on osimertinib will be followed up until August 2022. We will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the first-line osimertinib treatment, adherence to it, progression patterns on RECIST PD and subsequent treatment.Ethics and disseminationAll participating patients will provide written informed consent before entering the study. The protocol, amendments and patients’ informed consent forms will be approved before study commencement by the institutional review board or independent ethics committee at each participation site (Lead Ethics Committee; Japan Red Cross Medical Center (26 April 2019, order number 976)). Patients will be anonymised before registration into the study and their anonymised data will be collected from the case report form. The results of this study will be presented at the national and international conferences and submitted for publication.Trial registration numberUMIN000038683.

Reading means different things to different people; for some it is recognizing written words, while for others, it is an opportunity to teach pronunciation and practice speaking. However, reading always has a purpose. It is something that we do everyday; it is an integral part of our daily lives, taken very much for granted and generally assumed to be something that everyone can do. The reason for reading depends very much on the purpose for reading. Among aspects which prove positive when using authentic materials is that they are highly motivating, giving a sense of achievement when understood and encourage further reading. One of the main reasons for using authentic materials in the classroom is once outside the controlled language learning environment, the learner will not encounter the artificial language of the classroom but the real world and language the way it is really used (Berardo, 2006).    Keywords: Authenticity; Foreign language (L2) learning; Reading comprehension; Reading materials

In recent years, a shift in focus has seen researchers seek to identify the priorities and preferences of key stakeholders to shape the direction of future research for those on the autism spectrum. The process of synthesising the views, knowledge and expertise of key stakeholders with either a lived or shared experience of autism is invaluable and can inform future research to ensure that it is meaningful and has the greatest impact. A number of studies have reported on the research priorities of groups within the autism community, but to date, these studies stand alone and priorities have not been considered collectively. This systematic review identified seven studies that reported on key stakeholders’ priorities for autism research. Studies were synthesised according to (a) the target participant group and method of recruitment, (b) the methodology used to elucidate the viewpoint of stakeholders, (c) the country of stakeholders and (d) commonly identified priorities. Common features across studies note the importance of prioritising initiatives that will result in real-world changes in the lives of the autism community and more research across the lifespan. There is an identified need for more diverse stakeholder voices to influence the identification of priorities for future research foci. Continued inclusion of the autistic and autism communities in priority-setting research is imperative for achieving significant outcomes in autism research and to progress the field in an effective and socio-ethical way. Lay abstract It has become very important in autism research to ask the autistic community about what kinds of research they think should be done in order to improve the lives of people with autism. Many studies have reported on research goals from people within the autism community, such as parents of people on the autism spectrum, and practitioners and clinicians who support people on the autism spectrum. So far, the research goals from all of these studies have not been considered together, which is important so that all autism research can be working towards the same goals. We reviewed seven studies that looked at the priorities for autism research from key people within the autism community. Each of the reviewed studies are described according to (a) the types of people involved in the study, (b) the way the research goals from each group of people were identified, (c) the country where they were from and (d) the most common research goals from across all of the studies. Within these seven studies, research that will lead to real-world changes in the daily lives of the autism community and a greater focus on skill training for people with autism across their lives were found to be very important. From this review, we found that it is also very important to include a range of different people from the autism community when deciding what autism research goals should be focused on so that future research can be more helpful for the autism community.
