The aim of this study is to increase evidence-based interventions by investigating the feasibility of an intervention using an interactive digital calendar with mobile phone reminders (RemindMe) as support in everyday life. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from participating patients (n = 8) and occupational therapists (n = 7) from three rehabilitation clinics in Sweden. The intervention consisted of delivering the interactive digital calendar RemindMe, receiving an individualized introduction, a written manual, and individual weekly conversations for two months with follow-up assessments after two and four months. Feasibility areas of acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, and integration were examined. Patients expressed their interest and intention to use RemindMe and reported a need for reminders and individualized support. By using reminders in activities in everyday life their autonomy was supported. The study also demonstrated the importance of confirming reminders and the possible role of habit-forming. Occupational therapists perceived the intervention to be useful at the rehabilitation clinics and the weekly support conversations enabled successful implementation. This study confirmed the importance of basing and tailoring the intervention to patients’ needs and thus being person-centered.

The use of medicinal plants mixed with yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) has been poorly studied in the ethnopharmacological literature so far. The Paraguayan Mestizo people have the longest tradition of using the yerba mate beverage, apart from the indigenous Guarani people. This study analyses the role of yerba mate and medicinal plants in the treatment of illnesses within Paraguayan folk medicine. The research was conducted among 100 Paraguayan migrants living in Misiones, Argentina, in 2014 and 2015. Yerba mate is not considered to be a medicinal plant by its own virtues but is culturally a very important type of medicinal plant intake. Ninety-seven species are employed in hot and cold versions of the yerba mate beverage. The most important species are as follows: Allophylus edulis (highest number of citations), Aristolochia triangularis (highest relative importance value), and Achyrocline flaccida and Achyrocline tomentosa (highest score by Index of Agreement on Species). The plants are used in the treatment of 18 medicinal categories, which include illnesses traditionally treated with plants: digestive system, humoral medicine, and relatively new health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and high levels of cholesterol. Newly incorporated medicinal plants, such as Moringa oleifera, are ingested predominantly or exclusively with the mate beverage.

Prospective adopters commonly share materials such as photographs of their family, ‘talking’ albums, DVDs, toys and blankets with their child prior to meeting them. This is often the first point of ‘introduction’ of the adoptive family to their child. The sharing of materials is also one of the earliest tasks in which foster carers and prospective adopters work together. This study investigates adopters’ experiences of sharing materials in the wider context of working with foster carers during these initial parent–child ‘introductions’. Thematic analysis of 24 interviews conducted with adoptive parents revealed three main themes: collaboration, familiarisation and connection. Further qualitative and quantitative data were subsequently gathered and analysed from surveys completed by 64 adoptive parents. Findings highlight the central role of the foster carer in preparing a child for a move to adoption, and the potential impact that the grief and loss experienced by a foster carer may have on this move. They also suggest that the sharing of materials could be an early indicator of a foster carer’s capacity to support a child’s transition to life with their adoptive family. Adopters’ perceptions of the impact of the materials, both at the time of introductions and their ongoing significance several years after placement, are explored.

Medicinal plant products are characterized by the presence of several bioactive (primary and secondary metabolites) constituents that are present. Phytochemical (qualitative and quantitative analysis) and immunopharmacological based studies may provide new compounds in the form of drugs for eliminating intracellular as well as extracellular infections. Several immunopharmacological based reports have shown the action of medicinal plant products and its constituents (i.e. primary and secondary metabolites) against various pathogens i.e. cancer, inflammation, diabetes etc.

Several areas reflect the traditional wisdom of Sri Lanka. This knowledge is of two parts as tactile and intangible cognition. Shantikarma and its associated rituals have a special place in intangible knowledge. Humans rely on various supernatural forces to prevent them from suffering and suffering. The medium used to obtain the help of those forces is called Shanti Karma. Several areas reflect the traditional wisdom of Sri Lanka. This knowledge is of two parts as tactile and intangible cognition. Shantikarma and its associated rituals have a special place in intangible knowledge. Humans rely on various supernatural forces to prevent them from suffering and suffering. The medium used to obtain the help of those forces is called Shanti Karma. The research problem was how Shanti Karma is used as an art of healing. The methodology involved in this research was Qualitative and Quantitative. Data were gathered using primary and secondary evidence in-depth interviews. A sample of about 20 yakaduras from Palatuwa, Godagama in Matara District, Habaraduwa and, Ahangama in Galle District was selected for the field study. The secondary evidence was the substance yielded from the published sources. Today, there is a decline in the use of peace rituals in Sri Lanka. The decline in the number of people willing to engage in this, the emergence of a new generation after the decline of traditional artisans, and the need to pay a high price for peacemaking, etc., have contributed to this decline.
