AbstractLevels of coresidence, residential proximity, face-to-face contacts and intergenerational support exchanges remain overall high and stable across European countries. However, to date, few studies have focused on trends in grandparent–grandchild relations. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether and to what extent grandparent–grandchild exchanges have changed over time. We used data from the Italian Family and Social Subjects (FSS) Surveys, covering the years 1998–2016, and considered three different currencies of exchanges between grandparents and their grandchildren (coresidence, face-to-face contacts, and grandchild care provision). Our results showed stability over time in coresidence, a small reduction in daily contacts (from 47% in 1998 to 39% in 2016) and an increase in grandchildren care (from 78% in 1998 to 82% in 2016). In addition, we found little changes in the associations between such indicators of intergenerational exchanges and the demographic and socio-economic determinants usually used to explain them. Despite changes among Italian grandparents such as increases in their age profile, in education, and in marital disruption, the relations between grandparents and their grandchildren have so far remained stable over time, with generally high levels of intergenerational exchanges.

Background: Although undergraduate psychology curriculum should cultivate performance-based skills to prepare students for helping professions, little work to date has addressed this standard. Objective: This research replicates the methods used in a previous study by examining pre-post changes in empathic communication skills and perceived communication competence across two applied psychology courses: Basic Helping Skills and Internship. This study extended this work by also exploring learning gains from different formats (i.e., face-to-face vs. online), internship types (mental health-related vs. not mental health-related), and the longevity of learning gains. Method: Psychology students ( N = 171) completed a measure of communication competence and provided written empathic responses on a vignette-based performance measure at the start and end of the semester. Results: Students perceived their communication skills as improving over time; however, only students in the Basic Helping Skills course showed improved empathic communication skills, especially when the instruction was in a face-to-face format. Students with previous skill training maintained their learning gains over time. Conclusion: Student empathic communication improves most with face-to-face instruction in Basic Helping Skills rather than an internship experience. Teaching Implications: For the development of empathic communication skills, prerequisite requirements for Internship and instructive scaffolding for the application of skills may be recommended.

ABSTRACTUnderstanding patterns of intergenerational support is critical within the context of demographic change, such as changing family structures and population ageing. Existing research has focused on intergenerational support at a given time in the individuals' lifecourse, e.g. from adult children towards older parents and vice versa; however, few studies have focused on the dynamic nature of such support. Analysing data from the 1958 National Child Development Study, this paper investigates the extent to which the receipt of parental help earlier in the lifecourse affects the chances of adult children reciprocating with support towards their parents later in life. The findings show that three-quarters of mid-life adults had received some support from their parents earlier in life, and at age 50 more than half were providing care to their parents. Patterns of support received and provided across the lifecourse differ markedly by gender, with sons being more likely to have received help with finances earlier in the lifecourse, and daughters with child care. The results highlight that care provision towards parents was associated with support receipt earlier in life. However, the degree of reciprocity varies according to the type of care provided by children. Such findings have implications for informal care provision by adult children towards future cohorts of older people, and by extension, the organisation of social care.

Complex problems require strategies that leverage the knowledge of diverse actors working in a coordinated manner in order to address them in a manner that is appropriate to the context. Such strategies require building relationships among groups that enable them to network in ways that have the intensity of face-to-face meetings, but also extend over time. The Complexity, Networks, EHealth, & Knowledge Translation Research (CoNEKTR) model draws upon established methods of face-to-face social engagement and supported with information technology and proscribes an approach to issue exploration, idea generation and collective action that leverages social networks for health innovation. The model combines aspects of communities of practice, online communities, systems and complexity science, and theories of knowledge translation, exchange and integration. The process and steps of implementing the model are described using a case study applied to food systems and health. Implications for health research and knowledge translation are discussed.

BackgroundThere is little evidence on the impact of national pressures on primary care provision for type 2 diabetes from the perspectives of patients, their GPs, and nurses.AimTo explore experiences of primary care provision for people with type 2 diabetes and their respective GPs and nurses.Design and settingA qualitative primary care interview study in the East of England.MethodSemi-structured interviews were conducted, between August 2017 and August 2018, with people who have type 2 diabetes along with their respective GPs and nurses. Purposive sampling was used to select for heterogeneity in glycaemic control and previous healthcare experiences. Interviews were audio-recorded and analysed thematically. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research were followed.ResultsThe authors interviewed 24 patients and 15 GPs and nurses, identifying a changing landscape of diabetes provision owing to burgeoning pressures that were presented repeatedly. Patient responders wanted GP-delivered care with continuity. They saw GPs as experts best placed to support them in managing diabetes, but were increasingly receiving nurse-led care. Nurses reported providing most of the in-person care, while GPs remained accountable but increasingly distanced from face-to-face diabetes care provision. A reluctant acknowledgement surfaced among GPs, nurses, and their patients that only minimum care standards could be maintained, with aspirations for high-quality provision unlikely to be met.ConclusionType 2 diabetes is a tracer condition that reflects many aspects of primary care. Efforts to manage pressures have not been perceived favourably by patients and providers, despite some benefits. Reframing expectations of care, by communicating solutions to both patients and providers so that they are understood, managed, and realistic, may be one way forward.

This study aims to examine the effect of teaching program activities to see the effectiveness of student learning at SD Negeri 1 Membalong. During the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching and learning activities were shifted to face-to-face learning. Students learn by using various features provided on the internet. For approximately 1 year studying at home, over time now several schools have implemented a new normal and have carried out face-to-face learning activities, one of which is at SD Negeri 1 Membalong while still paying attention to health protocols. Campus teaching program activities are one of the activities that help teachers in teaching and learning activities, administration and introduction of technology. This campus teaching activity is a program designed by Nadiem Makarim which involves students going directly to schools located in 3T areas (frontier, outermost, remote). This activity has a positive impact on students and schools involved in this activity. The purpose of this article is to see how influential this teaching activity program is, then examine how effectively students study at SD Negeri 1 Membalong during the pandemic. This study uses an interactive qualitative method with complete data collection using observations, interviews and documentation during activities at SD Negeri 1 Membalong.

İnsanlık tarihi kadar eski olan tüketim, zaman içerisinde yaşanan değişim ve dönüşümlerle birlikte yeni bir boyut kazanmıştır. Eskinin, ihtiyacı kadar almak ve çalışmak gibi fenemonlerinin yerini, günümüzde daha çok satın almak için çalışmak, tükettiğinin ölçüsünde var olabilmek ya da olamamak almıştır. Tüketimin soyut anlamda kavramsal içeriğinin farklılaşmasının yanı sıra, tüketim araçları da farklılaşmıştır. Artık, yüz yüze görüşmeler yoluyla yapılan alışverişlerin yerini; fiziki mekândan bağımsız, internet üzerinden e-ticaret yoluyla ve birtakım paylaşım ağları aracılığıyla yapılan alışverişler almıştır. Bu çalışmada da, tüketimin ve tüketimde kullanılan araçların geçmişten bugüne değişen anlamı ve bu değişimi körükleyen sosyal ağ paradigması tartışılmaktadır. The Changing Face of Consumption: E-Commerce Applications And The Role of Social Networks Consumption, which is as old as human history has gained a new dimension with changes and transformations in the course of time. In the past, people bought and worked as they needed, but now, they work to buy more things except necessity and they be or not to be until they consumed. Over time, the conceptual content and tools of the consumption has changed. Shopping, which is done independent of the physical space, via the internet through e-commerce replaced shopping made by face to face. In this work, the changing meaning and tools of consumption from past to present and the paradigm of social networks which encouraging this change is to be held.

La presente investigación muestra la ausencia de un repositorio ordenado de la indumentaria utilizada en el ámbito de las artes del espectáculo, rituales y actos festivos en el contexto peruano. Como consecuencia, la brecha entre el objeto y el espectador se amplía a pesar de diferentes eventos realizados de manera presencial. El traje típico, como parte del patrimonio cultural inmaterial de las danzas, ritos y festividades de una ciudad, evoluciona y se transforma con el transcurso del tiempo por diferentes factores. Un repositorio digital que capture la esencia del traje y su evolución es necesario para conectar y vincular con el objeto cultural. En este sentido, a partir de las características definidas en el Ux Honeycomb la investigación propone determinar la interacción entre estas características en un repositorio digital de trajes para generar valor a la comunidad. Para lograr los objetivos, se ha realizado una revisión de literatura, un análisis de repositorios digitales y entrevistas a expertos, profesionales y alumnos de carreras creativas. Los factores de valor encontrados en el repositorio digital a partir de la investigación son: preservación, conexión, representación y conocimiento, los cuales son complementarios. A partir de la interacción, producida por la fuerza interna y externa, de dos o más valores mencionados anteriormente se genera la utilidad del repositorio digital. Las relaciones e interacciones entre los elementos aportan funcionalidad y vitalidad al repositorio. Palabras clave: Repositorio de trajes, valor, patrimonio cultural, user experience, diseño web. AbstractThe research herein shows the absence of an orderly repository of the garments worn at the show arts environment, rituals, and festive acts in the Peruvian context. Consequently, the gap between the object and the spectator broadens regardless of several events carried out in a face-to-face manner. The typical costume, as part of the intangible material cultural heritage of the dances, rites, and festivities of a city, evolves and transforms over time due to different factors. A digital repository that captures the essence of the costume and its evolution is necessary to connect and link with the cultural object. In this sense, based on the characteristics defined in the Ux Honeycomb, the research proposes to determine the interaction between these characteristics in a digital costume repository to generate value to the community. In order to achieve the objectives, a review of the literature was made, as well as an analysis of digital repositories and interviews with experts, professionals, and students of creative careers. From the interaction, produced by the internal and external force, of two or more values mentioned above the utility of the digital repository is generated. The relationships and interactions between the elements bring functionality and vitality to the repository. Keywords: Costumes repository, value, cultural heritage, user experience, web design.

This longitudinal, quasi-experimental study investigated students’ cognitive personality type using the Myers-Briggs personality Type Indicator (MBTI) in Internet-based Online and Face-to-Face (F2F) modalities. A total of 1154 students enrolled in 28 Online and 32 F2F sections taught concurrently over a period of fourteen years. The study measured whether the sample is similar to the national average percentage frequency of all 16 different personality types; whether specific personality type students preferred a specific modality of instructions and if this preference changed over time; whether learning occurred in both class modalities; and whether specific personality type students learned more from a specific modality. Data was analyzed using regression, t-test, frequency, and Chi-Squared. The study concluded that data used in the study was similar to the national statistics; that no major differences in preference occurred over time; and that learning did occur in all modalities, with more statistically significant learning found in the Online modality versus F2F for Sensing, Thinking, and Perceiving types. Finally, Sensing and Thinking (ST) and Sensing and Perceiving (SP) group types learned significantly more in Online modality versus F2F.
