Community, as a territorial unit, persists as a major determinant of cultural behavior, despite all the integrating technologies of the electronic age. Two approaches toward the study of fishing, community study and an occupational focus, suggest alternative methods for analyzing and managing fisheries. Community studies lead to suggestions about including the community of fishing interest in management planning. Occupational analyses indicate how fishing differs from other activities, and how there is variability even among fishing activities. This research shows that within one fishery, community factors differentiate behaviors of fishermen. The reason community factors persist is in the pattern of information transfer. The more face-to-face interaction characteristic of community facilitates the transfer of ideas.

The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many changes, including restrictions on indoor gatherings and visitation to residential aged care facilities, hospitals and certain communities. Coupled with potential restrictions imposed by health services and academic institutions, these changes may significantly impact the conduct of population health research. However, the continuance of population health research is beneficial for the provision of health services and sometimes imperative. This paper discusses the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on the conduct of population health research. This discussion unveils important ethical considerations, as well as potential impacts on recruitment methods, face-to-face data collection, data quality and validity. In addition, this paper explores potential recruitment and data collection methods that could replace face-to-face methods. The discussion is accompanied by reflections on the challenges experienced by the authors in their own research at an oral health service during the COVID-19 pandemic and alternative methods that were utilised in place of face-to-face methods. This paper concludes that, although COVID-19 presents challenges to the conduct of population health research, there is a range of alternative methods to face-to-face recruitment and data collection. These alternative methods should be considered in light of project aims to ensure data quality is not compromised.

Traditional Approaches

Cardiac rehabilitation improves the outcomes of individuals following a cardiac event; however, only 50% of those eligible for cardiac rehabilitation in the UK sign up to a traditional face-to-face programme. The principal causes cited for non-attendance include living in a rural area, work or career commitments, lack of choice in location, gender, ethnicity and social economic constraints, and dislike of group participation. Alternative methods of delivery could ensure greater participation in cardiac rehabilitation activities, particularly among women, who are underrepresented. Studies into digital cardiac rehabilitation reveal improved quality of life, dietary intake and increased physical activity all equal to or an improvement compared to traditional approaches. Embracing digital approaches to cardiac rehabilitation is now timely with COVID-19 requirements for social distancing.

In 2017, the National Association of School Psychologists described tele-assessment as the least researched area of telehealth. This became problematic in 2020 when COVID-19 curtailed the administration of face-to-face assessments. Publishers began to offer computer-adapted tele-assessment methods for tests that had only previously been administered in person. Recommendations for adapted tele-assessment practice had to be developed with little empirical data. The current study analyzed recommendations from entities including professional organizations, test publishers, and governmental offices. The samples for each were small, but the findings were noteworthy. Test publishers were unanimous in recommending the use of their face-to-face assessments through adapted tele-assessment methods (either with or without caution). Governmental agencies were more likely to recommend not using adapted tele-assessment methods or to use these methods with caution. Finally, professional organizations were almost unanimous in their recommendations to use adapted tele-assessment but to do so with caution. In addition to deviations in the types of recommendations provided, entities varied in how the information was distributed. About one-fifth (23.5%) of all entities surveyed provided no recommendations at all. About 45% of the remaining entities provided recommendations on their Web sites. The rest provided information through shared documents, online toolkits, peer-reviewed journals, and emails. Implications for the field of psychology’s future crisis management planning are discussed in response to these findings.

ObjectiveTo determine how young stroke survivors want their unmet needs to be addressed, we undertook an international online survey of people living with stroke.MethodsParticipants self-selected to complete an online survey that included a questionnaire on demographics and stroke-related characteristics, the Young Stroke Needs Screening Tool, and a questionnaire on how they wanted their needs to be met.ResultsOne hundred seventy-one responses were received (68% female respondents, mean age 45 years, interquartile range 36–51 years). Preferences for methods of meeting needs varied depending on the domain of need and participants' demographic and stroke-related characteristics. Face-to-face contact with a health care professional was a popular means of meeting needs, but methods outside of a traditional health care setting such as a succinct list of tips or peer support were widely acceptable and sometimes preferred.ConclusionThis work provides the impetus for developing alternative methods of meeting young stroke survivors' needs, many of which are not resource intensive or do not require an appointment with a health care professional.

The Open University (OU) is UK's largest modern foreign language learning provider with a current enrolment of approximetely 8000 students, all of whom study individually at home, at a distance from each other and their tutors. However, while most OU students work with trditional course material such as books, video- and audio-cassettes and face-to-face tutorials, research at the centre for Modern Languages (CML) has also investigated alternative methods in order to account for those learners who might be unable to attend face-to-face tutorials. The study described in this paper outlines work in progress that is part of a larger, long-term project seeking to establish a framework for the use of networking technologies in distance language learning with a particular emphasis onl the ldevelopment of scenarios – that is task design and learning environments – which will enable participants to improve their spoken and communication skills in the target language.

Abstract Introduction The social distancing restrictions mandated by the COVID-19 pandemic have directly impacted burn survivor support groups. Around the country, Pediatric Camps and Adult Support groups have been canceled or moved to an alternate format. While these alternative methods provide much-needed support and interaction for burn survivor groups, it is unknown how they compare to traditional, in-person support programs. In November 2020, our facility will replace our traditional Adult Burn Survivor Retreat with an entirely virtual, synchronous retreat. The retreat will feature many of the sessions and experiences from the in-person retreat but will be lacking the face-to-face contact that is so valued by our Adult Survivor Group. Educational sessions will be provided by adult psychologists and social workers, burn therapists and nurses. An adult burn survivor will provide the keynote address. Adult burn survivors, who have participated in prior year’s retreats, will be invited to participate in a comparison feedback survey. Methods Participants in the Virtual Adult Survivor Retreat will complete a post-retreat survey, comparing the virtual retreat experience to the traditional in-person retreat format. Likert scale questions will address participation level, benefit of retreat, specific feedback for sessions and ease of ability for survivors to interact with peers. In addition, the survey will seek to identify barriers of the virtual format as a means of providing needed survivor support. Results Survey results will be analyzed, and trends will be reported. Statistically significant results can be further explored to guide future virtual events. Conclusions Virtual events utilizing video platforms have become commonplace in the era of COVID-19, however, this format is still new, and the benefits have not been fully explored. Evidence has shown a direct benefit to survivors participating in support services. In an attempt to fill the gap left by the cancelation of in-person events, our facility is hosting a synchronous virtual retreat for adult burn survivors. Retreat evaluation and data comparing the virtual event to prior in-person events will be analyzed and reported.

This study used a preaching communication perspective to identify the challenges of preaching strategies and empowering poor women in urban areas. This study used a mixed method between quantitative and qualitative research. The data was collected through literature study, observation, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews. Data analysis used in this study was the interactive model of Miles &amp; Huberman. The results showed that most of the poor women in the Tallo district defined preaching as a lecture and face-to-face activity. They consider that the government should be more responsible for its implementation rather than other organizations or communities. Most of them prefer the theme of worship, family, and morals when dealing with preaching messages. The preferred media for delivering preaching is through lectures and face-to- face compared with electronic and social media.</span></p></div></div></div>

he paper considers the goals implemented in the legal regulation of the formation of public chambers (councils) inArkhangelsk, Barnaul, Volgograd, Yekaterinburg, Surgut (Russia) and social, economic and environmental councils of the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, Hauts-de-France, New Aquitaine, Brittany, Normandy regions (France). It is suggested that the main possible goals are to ensure that citizens represent their interests and the city authorities receive assistance from citizens when solving their tasks. There is a similarity between the requirements for candidates for membership in Russian public chambers and French social, economic and environmental councils (the need for representation of those whose lives depend on the level of development of the territorial unit in which the Advisory body operates; the ban on membership for those having been involved in offenses; the need for representation of public organizations). The requirements, both identical and different, are primarily aimed at ensuring the representation of the local population. At the same time, the French legislature sets a requirement for mandatory representation not of any local resident, but of particular groups defined for various reasons and a certain numerical ratio of representatives of these groups. As for the formation procedure, the composition of the considered Russian Advisory bodies is determined by local self-government bodies, while the French ones are determined by state authorities, besides local organizations are involved both in Russia and France. This procedure (as well as part of the requirements for candidates) is aimed at selecting individuals who are qualified enough to help local governments in the implementation of their functions, in case there are guarantees that these individuals will be representatives of the local community. At the same time, it is stipulated that elections are not the only way to ensure the representation of citizens; alternative methods include, in particular, the division of members of the Advisory body into groups based on the categories of the population they represent, provided for in the French law.
