The excessive use of Smartphone in young people has caused deterioration in family relationships. The objective of the research was to determine the relationship of the use of the Smartphone with family relationships in university students. The hypothetical deductive method was applied, the research is of a correlational descriptive type, a non-probabilistic sample was used for the convenience of 96 students, the survey technique was applied and as a Likert type questionnaire with 36 items raised by variables, dimensions. and indicators. The results showed that there is a relationship between the use of the Smartphone with family relationships, evidencing the deterioration of the face-to-face interaction between parents and children, poor compliance with family functions of socialization, recreation and affection that young people lack and the communication styles they practice at home are mostly passive. We conclude that the use of Smartphone has a significant positive average relationship with family relationships in university students. The educational institutions and the family must regulate the proper use of the Smartphone in family spaces, avoiding the deterioration of family relationships.

This paper examines parent-adolescent communication about sexuality in the family context. Of central concern is how parents and their adolescent children interact and communicate about sexual identities and practices. The paper focuses on kinship and familial relations between parents and adolescents, family dynamics and the processes impacting on young people's emergent sexual development and informal sex education in the home. The data is drawn from interviews with 38 young people aged 15-21 years with another 31 participating in focus-groups. The paper argues that mutual and open dialogue about sexuality between parents and adolescents remains highly circumscribed due to how sexuality is relational and regulated in the family context. The data reveals that despite strong family relationships, complex patterns of surveillance and negotiation mean that parents and children monitor and control situations related to expressing sexuality. Instead of ‘passive’ processes operating to manage sexual identities, this paper finds that parents and young people necessarily draw on more sophisticated practices of what can be conceptually termed as the ‘active acknowledgement’ and ‘active avoidance’ of sexuality as a means to manage sexual identities across different family contexts.

This paper reveals the dynamics of the changing therapeutic relationship of the kiai with students (santri) in learning (ngaji) from face-to-face to online models in the time of COVID-19. The research method is ethnographic-hermeneutic. In the face-to-face learning system, therapeutics occur because of the warm relationship by looking directly at the kiai's face which makes the students feel calm. In the “Ngaji Online” the therapeutic system switches to environmental settings that make students feel safe and comfortable. In the “Ngaji Online” system, the warmth of relationships begins to weaken. However, this weakness can be covered up because the spiritual relationship between the kiai and the students still feels strong. This spiritual relationship is the key to therapeutic for the Islamic boarding school.

Ongoing advances in technology have provided a platform to extend the accessibility of services for children with developmental disabilities across locations, languages and the socioeconomic continuum. Teletherapy, the use of video-conferencing technology to deliver therapy services, is changing the face of healthcare by providing face-to-face interactions among specialists, parents and children. The current literature has demonstrated success in utilizing teletherapy as a modality for speech-language intervention and for social-behavioral management, while research on feeding therapy remains scarce. The current chapter discusses the prevalence of feeding disorders among infants, toddlers and children with developmental disorders. Using evidence from the current literature, a rationale for the utilization of teletherapy as a means of feeding therapy is presented.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the discriminative validity of MINI-SPIN (MS) as a screening tool for social anxiety disorder (SAD) in a group of Brazilian university students.MethodSPIN was collectively applied to 2320 university students. Among them, 656 individuals who fulfilled the criteria for positive MS (N = 473) and negative MS (N = 183) were selected and divided into two groups. The selected subjects were interviewed by telephone using the SAD module of the SCID-IV, used as the gold standard. In order to check interrater reliability, a group of university students (N = 57) was reinterviewed by telephone by a second rater, and another group (N = 100) participated in a face-to-face interview.ResultsThe Kappa coefficient among the telephone interviews was 0.80, and a coefficient of 0.84 (P < 0.001) was obtained between the telephone interview and the face-to-face one. For a cut-off score of 6, suggested in the original English version of the instrument, sensitivity was 0.94, specificity 0.46, the positive predictive value (PPV) was 0.58, and the negative predictive value (NPV) was 0.92. For a cut-off score of 7, we observed an increase in the specificity and in the PPV (0.68 and 0.65) while the sensitivity and NPV (0.78 and 0.80) remained high.Discussion/ConclusionMS showed quite satisfactory psychometric qualities. The cut-off score of 6 seemed to be the most suitable to attest the tracking value of the tool. However, the cut-off score of 7 was the most suitable as a minimum parameter for the studied group, with psychometric values more similar to those of the original study.

Confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic has hastened an educational shift from face-to-face to online classrooms. This distanced education seeks to achieve learning goals mediated by technology as they would be achieved in the face-to-face classroom, without ignoring the psychological and social impact that COVID-19 has had on students and teachers. Faced with this situation, the use of online educational escape rooms has been proposed as a motivating strategy for students to review curriculum content in a cooperative and fun way. A qualitative investigation was carried out to explore the perceptions of university students in the Social Education degree program after the implementation of an educational escape room. Our main findings are that most students found that it allowed them to interact with their peers beyond traditional education, that it was useful for their learning and that it was a pleasant activity. However, it was also mentioned that it can be a stressful activity as being an online activity, some students may have connectivity problems. It is concluded that online escape rooms can be active and effective learning strategies for university students.

This paper suggests that Alfred Schutz’s account of systems of typi­fication together with Sara Ahmed’s account of the proximity of the stranger allows for a different understanding of social integration. The paper proposes to rethink the political and social relationship of the in-group and the stranger, approached through the face-to-face encounter between an integration counselor and an immigrant. The encounter offers a disruption of what is taken for granted by the in-group and functions as a catalyst for a system of reference to appear at all. Through Ahmed’s account on the familiarity and proximity of the stranger, I argue that integration practices are considered to produce, rather than translate, a coherent system of reference for an in-group. The institutionalization of social integration is consequently risking concealing the “unintegratable” stranger rather than offering a solution for the more epistemological dimensions of social exclusion that we find in the experience of sameness and difference.

El presente estudio muestra resultados de dos países latinoamericanos: Ecuador y Colombia. El objetivo general es conocer el tratamiento que asumen los jóvenes frente a la tecnología digital y los niveles de competencia mediática. Como objetivos específicos se plantea: definir los indicadores de referencia para medir el grado de competencia mediática en los jóvenes universitarios; evaluar de manera exploratoria los niveles y el grado de competencia mediática en las muestras seleccionadas de los dos países. La metodología utilizada para evaluar el grado de competencia mediática de los jóvenes de Ecuador y Colombia es la práctica de una aproximación exploratoria de corte descriptivo. Entre los hallazgos se evidencia la utilización de navegación a internet para habilidades más técnicas y operativas que valorativas al nivel de la competencia mediática. Se detecta la necesidad de establecer procesos de alfabetización mediática sistémicos y continuos. El análisis de estos datos podría ser considerado como base para el establecimiento de políticas públicas en educación mediática. Esta temática en estos países es incipiente y se agota en líneas generalistas propuestas en documentos públicos, concerniente a los planes de educación e iniciativas particulares que en la actualidad se muestran desarticuladas.   Media Competences of Young University Students from Ecuador and Colombia The present study shows results from two Latin American countries: Ecuador and Colombia. The general objective is to find out how young people get by in the face of digital technology and levels of media competence. The specific objectives are to define the reference indicators to measure the degree of media competence of university students, and to evaluate, in an exploratory way, the levels and the degree of media competence in selected samples from the two countries. The methodology used to evaluate the degree of media competence of young people in Ecuador and Colombia is to carry out an exploratory approach of a descriptive nature. Among the findings it is worth noting the use of Internet browsing for more technical and operational skills than valuations at the level of media competence. The need to establish systematic and continuous media literacy processes is identified. The analysis of these data could be considered a basis for the establishment of public policies in media education. This issue in these countries is emerging and it is exhausted in general lines as proposed in public documents, concerning the education plans and particular initiatives that are currently fragmented.   Palabras clave: competencias mediáticas, estrategia educomunicativa, estudiantes universitarios, contextos múltiples, alfabetización digital Key words: media competences, educommunicative strategy, university students, multiple contexts, digital literacy.

Levinas takes the face-to-face relationship between each subject and every other particular person to be a relationship of the self with transcendence. He believes this dimension of our interpersonal experience is represented in traditional religious and theological texts by the relationship with the divine or God. This paper explores how Levinas’s appropriation of the Cartesian expression “the idea of infinity” introduces this divine character of the face-to-face and how Levinas goes on to develop and enrich this association of the face-to-face, its ethical character, and divine transcendence. Levinas takes the divinity of the face-to-face to refer to the universality, objectivity, normative force, and motivational attraction of the sense of responsibility he believes is foundational for human experience. In short, for Levinas, the divinity associated with morality in traditional religious texts refers to the normative weight and psychological appeal of ethics itself.

Although not a great deal has been said about heaven in the Christian tradition, it is part of the traditional notion of heaven that the blessed are in a condition of perfect happiness. In this life we can be happy to a certain degree, but mixed with earthly happiness is disappointment, frustration, and even sorrow. In heaven, by contrast, there is no sadness, nothing is lacking, happiness is complete. The usual way of explaining this perfect happiness is in terms of the ‘beatific vision’ – the face to face relationship of knowing and loving God which the blessed enjoy. On earth we experience only finite objects; nothing that we come to know ever completely satisfies our desire to know, and nothing that we love ever completely satisfies our will. But in the beatific vision we shall be in a direct relationship with the infinite God, who in his boundless perfection will completely ‘fill up’ our capacities to know and love. As the completely adequate object of these capacities, God will make us perfectly happy. As Aquinas puts it, ‘…But if God alone were seen, who is the fount and source of all being and of all truth, he would so fill the natural desire for knowledge that nothing else would be desired, and the seer would be completely happy.’
