Three Medicare-certified nursing homes are studied to determine factors of the organization, physical and social environment, and of the individuals that promote or deter social interaction. Social interaction is examined according to three phases: the tendency to congregate, the ability to impersonally interact with others, and the capacity to converse. Since conversation has been linked by others to rehabilitation, its promotion is stressed. Suggestions are made for creating a more functional social setting for the elderly, researching the behavioral basis for nursing home design, and for developing more meaningful building codes. This exploratory study serves as an example of how systematic environmental analysis may provide the direction necessary for implementing an extended care facility's goals.

The article focuses on the study of modern approaches in the typology of nursing homes. Global data on the increase in the share of older people in the total population are presented. In addition, Rosstat data confirm the relevance of studying this topic. Examples of foreign experience in designing and building homes for the elderly show the developed functional composition of the premises, along with the function of accommodation and care - health care, leisure, trade, sports, food and multifunctional spaces to ensure social interaction of different groups of the population. The research reveals a method of "functional improvement" aimed at developing optimal functional interactions between public and residential spaces. A concept project for a "dynamic" scheme has been developed, showing the inclusion of residential blocks in a multifunctional complex. The chosen functional organization allows the creation of private spaces for residents of retirement age and walking areas for visitors to the complex. It is determined that in Russia it is necessary to implement modern approaches adapted to Russian conditions, based on foreign experience. This will enhance the consumer quality of the facility and the comfort level of the elderly, which will undoubtedly provide social interaction through the introduction of educational and leisure functions, as well as improve the ecological and aesthetic qualities of the environment.

Eight years after the ‘Arab Spring’, literature is still marked by techno-deterministic interpretations. This article contributes to examining the role of agenda-building processes just before the outbreak of the Egyptian uprising in 2011 within authoritarian systems. Using the ‘hybrid media system’ concept, the article not only focuses on new media effects but, by including print media, it takes into consideration the media system in its entirety. Focusing on Khaled Said’s case as a counter-issue, the qualitative content analysis investigates how challengers in Egypt successfully pushed the media salience of police torture onto the mainstream media agenda. By reconstructing the issue cycle and intermedia spill-over effects, the author investigates the agenda-building processes within hybrid media systems in Arab authoritarian contexts. The qualitative content analysis includes 415 articles and posts from 12 diverse print, online and social media outlets between June 2010 and January 2011. The central finding is that successful spill-over effects occurred from online media to private print media, even though state media tried to ignore the issue. The coverage transferred the issue’s salience from new media into mainstream media, thus reaching wider non-politicized audiences. These proven interlinkages between old and new media are often an overlooked aspect in the literature on media and the ‘Arab Spring’.

Dementia can interfere with the maintenance of social interactions. The ability to participate in social interactions is one of the elements that enables good social health (Hubert et al., 2011), and having dementia does not automatically eliminates the person's opportunity to have good social health (Vernooij-Dassen and Jeon, 2016). We highlighted in a previous study that people with dementia who did not know each other interacted spontaneously when they were in a stimulating social interaction setting (Mabire et al., 2016). However, a lack of activity and social interaction in nursing homes is still a widespread issue (Harper Ice, 2002). Stimulation of social interactions is rarely used as an intervention and social interactions are seldomly used as social health related outcomes.

INTISARI                 Teknologi yang terus berkembang dari waktu ke waktu telah menjadi suatu perkembangan yang harus diterima oleh semua pihak dan juga secara tidak langsung mengubah sudut pandang dan juga cara interaksi manusia dari seluruh bidang seperti sosial dan ekonomi. Basis penggunaan sistem yang awalnya bertuan untuk menjaring interasksi sosial seperti pertemanan, berbagi foto dan juga kelompok interasi saat ini juga sudah banyak digunakan untuk mendukung basis ekonomi seperti pemasaran produk hingga penjualan. Pemanfaatan basis sistem sosial sudah banyak dilakukan oleh beberapa pihak dari sisi masyarakat biasa, atlet, artis hingga perusahaan yang memiliki pengikut atau fan base yang digunakan untuk menarik perhatian dan minat dari masyarakat dunia. Kemudahan pelaksanaan dan juga biaya yang sangat rendah bahkan bisa gratis juga salah satu point dasar utama mengapa banyak pihak yang memanfaatkan sistem sosial media untuk menaikan pemasaran dan penjualan. Hal ini dikarenakan berbanding terbalik dengan iklan menggunakan media cetak ataupun iklan dari televise yang memakan cukup banyak biaya sehingga untuk kalangan UMKM, hal tersebut tentunya akan sangat memberatkan terlebih lagi untuk produk yang masih belum banyak dikenal oleh banyak masyarakat. Kenyamanan dari sisi pengguna juga menjadi kepedulian utama karena pengguna bebas melihat suatu produk yang dipasarkan tanpa adanya ikatan waktu dan juga interupsi dari berbagai pihak sehingga pengguna memiliki banyak waktu untuk menentukan pilihan produk yang diinginkan. Pemasaran dan penjualan produk memanfaatkan sistem media sosial juga dapat memberikan keleluasaan bagi pemasar dan penjual produk tersebut untuk dapat mempublish produknya secara bebas dari sisi design, harga dan juga waktu tanpa adanya ikatan kontrak dengan pihak ketiga sehingga proses pemasaran produk akan lebih cepat ditayangkan pada akun sosial media bersangkutan dan pengguna dapat secara langsung melihat produk yang dipasarkan secara real time tanpa harus ada persetujuan seperti penandatanganan kontrak, waktu penanyangan dan hal-hal lainnya yang bersifat komersil. Kebutuhan terakhir yang terpenting adalah dengan pemanfaatan sosial media tersebut tergolong sangat mudah untuk dilakukan karena pemasar cukup memiliki jaringan pertemanan di sosial media yang banyak dan juga dapat melakukan posting terhadap produk yang akan dipasarkan dan dijual dengan melakukan pengolahan kata-kata agar content produk tersebut banyak dilihat dan juga yang terpenting adalah dengan memanfaatkan sosial media, pengguna juga dapat melakukan share informasi ke pengguna lainnya sehingga secara tidak langsung iklan yang awalnya dipasarkan oleh pemasar dapat tersaring ke pihak-pihak lainnya dengan bantuan pengguna sosial media tersebut yang tentunya akan membuat transaksi dan informasi menjadi lebih besar dan luas Kata kunci— Sosial Media, Pemasaran , Penjualan, Informasi, Sharing, Kenyamanan                                  ABSTRACTIn this era, the technology keep growing day by day and that technology now has became development that everyone has to be accepted by everyone and indirectly change a perception and also the interaction of people in all field like social and economy. The platform of system using is beginning to make a filter of social interaction like a friendship, sharing photo each other and group communication but right now that social interaction like or not is used for supporting economy like marketing and sales.Utilization of social media system for supporting economy has been used by many type of citizen like ordinary citizen, sportstman, public figure even a big company itself that have many of followers or fan base to be used for attention attraction and world desire of the people. The implemention is easy and does note make expense so much money even free is one of many aspect reason that’s why so many side using this platform to do promote their product and make selling for ther product. It is contradictive to use advertising in newspaper, tabloid even television because is very expensive for the startup and people who start their business from below to middle. It’s very difficult especially for the product has not been known by people yet. The convenience of people by using that platform is also become the main concern because people can be free to see a product that has been promoted by company without limited by time so people can have so much tme to make a decision of product choosing. Marketing and sales has used social media can promote their product effectively and efficieny from design, price and even time without do a contract with advertising company. Because all of these people can do promote product could be show real tme for social media and user directly see the product without must have approval like contract sign, the showing time and everything have commercial scent has been dismished. And the last thing is very important is using social media system platform is very easy because what must to do is just having many sosial friend or follower in the social account and make good words promotion, posting photo of product and share product information to other user so indirectly that information could be shared to other user and can be a great help to make that product information grow bigger that just one type of promotion and become expand from mouth to mouth by sharing each other. Kata kunci— Social Media, Marketing, Sales, Information, Sharing, Convenience

Privacy is often overlooked in Hong Kong nursing homes with the majority of elderly residents living in shared bedrooms of three to five people. Only a few studies have used Bluetooth low energy indoor positioning systems to explore the relationship between privacy and social interaction among elderly residents. The study investigates the social behavioural patterns of elderly residents living in three-bed, four-bed, and five-bed rooms in a nursing home. Location data of 50 residents were used for the identification of mobility and social interaction patterns in relation to different degrees of privacy and tested for statistical significance. Privacy is found to have a weak negative correlation with mobility patterns and social behaviour, implying that the more privacy there is, the less mobility and more formal interaction is found. Residents who had more privacy did not spend more time in social space. Residents living in bedrooms that opened directly onto social space had higher social withdrawal tendencies, indicating the importance of transitional spaces between private and public areas. Friends’ rooms were used extensively by residents who had little privacy, however, the concept of friends’ rooms have rarely been discussed in nursing homes. There is evidence supporting the importance of privacy for social interaction. Future study directions include considering how other design factors, such as configuration and social space diversity, work with privacy to influence social interaction.
