This study analyzed the development of phonological, semantic, and syntactic aspects by using augmented reality and interactive whiteboard with boys and girls in the kindergarten of Liceo San Felipe, San Felipe, Chili. With the implementation of these tools, learning experiences were carried out, enhancing the understanding of sentences and words in their successive components: linguistic segmentation, phonological awareness, and reflection on the meaning of words and sentences. The experiments were carried out in a didactic classroom of the course of Educacion Parvularia (Pre-School Education) at the University of Playa Ancha, San Felipe Campus, for 60 minutes, once a week for four months. It was a quasi-experimental study, and through pre- and post-tests, it was possible to verify the development of 18 children of a municipal school in San Felipe. The instruments used were the Linguistic Segmentation Test, Comprehensive and Expressive Language Examination Test (ELCE); Subtest semantic aspect, Test Evaluation O; Subtest words and phrases. The results, based on the comparison of pre- and post-test, showed changes in the management of the semantic, syntactic, and phonological aspects achieved by the children with this methodology. However, more research is needed to validate this proposal in teaching metalinguistic.

This study attempts to determine whether gamification can be used as a pedagogical technique to overcome the challenges in teaching statistics. A post-test quasi-experimental design was carried out in gamified and non-gamified groups in order to reveal the effect of gamification elements in cultivating students’ statistical literacy skills. Students in gamified group were also interviewed to understand the function of gamification process. The results suggest that; although gamifying the instructional process had a positive impact on developing students’ statistical literacy in medium and high score students; surprisingly the influence of the gamification to the low- achieved scores were not positive. The positive impact was discussed in accordance with the gradual structure of statistical literacy and suggestions for successful gamification applications due to the context were included.

Abstract To more rigorously examine the University of Rhode Island Cyber-Seniors Program, we conducted a quasi-experimental study to examine if older adult senior center participants (n=25) improved scores on social and technological measures compared to a sample of senior center participants (n=25) who did not take part in the program. Findings showed that participants improved on technology measures compared to the non-participants, including searching and finding information about goods & services, obtaining information from public authorities or services, seeking health information, sending or receiving emails, and participating in online social networks (p<.05). However, participants did not change on social measures. There is either a need to identify better social measures to understand the social benefits of taking part, or to bolster the program to aid in helping older adults alleviate isolation and loneliness. Information on best practices and challenges for gathering outcomes from older participants will be discussed.

This study aims to determine the comparison of prostaglandin and endorphin levels in adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea with and without warm (37-40oC) and cold (18-20oC) hydrotherapy. This quasi-experimental study with a post-test only controls group design was carried out in Islamic Boarding Schools with a sample of 36 young girls divided into 3 groups: 12 teens given warm hydrotherapy, 12 teens given cold hydrotherapy and 12 teens not given intervention (control). Blood plasma is taken after an intervention is given on the first day of menstruation. Examination of prostaglandin and endorphins levels using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit method. After cold hydrotherapy, the mean levels of prostaglandins in the cold hydrotherapy group were twice higher (569 pg/ml) compared to controls (394 pg/ml). The mean prostaglandin level in the warm hydrotherapy group also showed an increase prostaglandin (437 pg/ml) compared to the control (394 pg/ml). In addition to increasing levels of prostaglandins, increased levels of endorphins also occurred in the group given warm hydrotherapy (154 pg/ml) and the group was given cold hydrotherapy (187 pg/ml) compared to the control (119 pg/ml) p = 0.001. The conclusion in this study is that warm and cold hydrotherapy can increase levels of prostaglandins and endorphins in adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea. However, cold hydrotherapy increases endorphin levels higher than warm hydrotherapy. Key words: Prostaglandin, Endorphin, Hydrotherapy, Primary Dismenorrhea.

The development of e-Learning is very promising at all levels of education. Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) has developed an e-learning or known as Kelip in 2006. However, the impact of e-learning on student achievement has no further explanation. Thus this quantitative study is aimed at exploring whether the use of e-learning, also known as KeLiP at the University of Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA), is able to improve student’s achievement among the excellent students of language (PCB) and the below-average students of language (PKCB). The comparisons between the achievements of both groups are also studied. This experimental study involved 69 UniSZA diploma students taking the Arabic Language Proficiency course level 2 (UBA 1022). The students have been learning through KeLiP for 10 weeks with content materials from the UBA 1022 module which were presented electronically in the form of graphics, images, sounds, videos and hyperlinks. Pre and post test was conducted to evaluate student achievement. The study shows that the use of KeLiP has improved PCB and PKCB achievements with a mean of 26.545 per cent. The excellent students’ performances (PCB) continue to maintain their excellence over PKCB with a mean difference of 11.72 per cent. This study proves that KeLiP is able to improve student’s achievement overall and thus serves as an encouragement for the wide use of KeLiP among students and lecturers.

Abstract Background Proper basic life support (BLS) is key in improving the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. BLS skills deteriorate in three to 6 months after training. One method to improve skill retention may be using the “testing effect” to test skills at the end of a BLS course. The aim of our study was to investigate whether either testing or the timing of such testing after BLS training have any influence on skill retention. Methods This was a post-test only, partial coverage, prospective quasi-experimental study designed to evaluate a BLS training course among 464 fifth year medical students at Semmelweis University in the first semester of 2013/2014. Groups were systematically but non-randomly assigned to either a control group that took no exam or one of two experimental groups that took an exam (N = 179, NoExam group; N = 165, EndExam group – exam at the end of the BLS training; N = 120, 3mExam group – exam 3 months after the BLS training). The ability to perform ten prescribed essential BLS steps was evaluated during a skill retention assessment 2 months after the course in the NoExam, 2 months after the course (and the exam) in the EndExam and 5 months after the course (2 months after the exam) in the 3mExam group to measure skill retention and the effect of our intervention. Scores were calculated for each BLS step, and also summed up as a total score. We used Kruskal-Wallis test to assess differences in skill retention. Results Overall, NoExam and EndExam groups showed similar skill retention. The mean total score (and many of the sub-scores) of students was significantly higher in the 3mExam group compared to both the NoExam and the EndExam groups, and there was no difference in the total score (and many of the sub-scores) of the latter two groups. The 3mExam group had less variability in total scores (and many of the sub-scores) than the other two groups. Conclusion Our study provides evidence that testing these skills 3 months after BLS training may be more effective than either testing immediately at the end of the course or no testing at all.

Abstract Background: Diarrheal disease is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in children under five years of age in low and middle-income countries. Lack of improved sanitation is the most important contributing factor to diarrheal disease. Promotion of water, sanitation, and hygiene technologies combined with hygiene promotion is a key strategy for reducing diarrheal diseases in resource poor settings. Few studies have been conducted in rural areas of low-income countries where Community-Led Total Sanitation and Hygiene intervention is implemented. To our knowledge, no study was conducted in the study area to evaluate the effect of this intervention. This study was designed with the aim of finding the effects of Community-led Total Sanitation and Hygiene implementation for preventing diarrhea among under-five children.Methods: A community-based Quasi-Experimental study was conducted from March 01- April 10, 2019 in Kersa and Manna districts. Community-led Total Sanitation and Hygiene intervention is being implemented in Kersa district since 2005 Ethiopian calendar. Sample of 846 households were selected from intervention and comparison districts using four-stage random cluster-sampling method. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was collected by 8 data collectors who attended secondary school. Data was cleaned, coded and entered into Epi data entry version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Difference-in Difference method with McNemar’s tests was used to compare the prevalence of diarrhea between the intervention and comparison districts, and significance of change between the pre-test and post-test was declared at p-value of less than 0.05 with 95% confidence interval.Results: The intervention led to decreased diarrhea prevalence [pp = -8.2, 95% CI: -15.9, -0.5], increased latrine ownership [pp = 5.6, 95% CI: 0.5, 10.8], and increased latrine utilization [pp = 10.7, 95% CI: 4.7, 16.6] in intervention district at post-test compared to the baseline; while presence of hand washing facility near latrine, home based water treatment, and proper water storage and handling practice were decreased at post-test compared to the baseline.Conclusion: Implementation of Community-Led Total Sanitation improved sanitation and hygiene status of community that resulted in reduction of diarrhea prevalence in children less than five years of age. Further implementation, evaluation, and scale-up of the intervention is needed to reduce diarrheal disease in children less than five years of age.
