Value Of Money

Children nowadays are overwhelming with luxurious things and have only little or even no money concepts where most of the kids just reach out to their parents for buying anything they want.  This could be an issue for parents, hence kids should be taught the value of money and knowing that save their own money is important to purchase anything they desired. This project proposed an innovative way to inculcate saving behaviours in children using an IoT Piggy Bank. This goal-directed approach allows children to set their saving goals (values of their desired items) and form a saving habit slowly through their saving routines toward their saving goals. Every saving made by the children will be tracked in a mobile app and a buzzer will be triggered as a reinforcer to alert children when they do not save regularly.  The user acceptance testing (UAT) of the proposed prototype has shown the majority of the parents (90%) agreed that the proposed IoT piggy bank is very suitable for children to instil saving habit. Most of the children have reacted positively where they were having lots of fun when trying on the IoT piggy bank and expressed that they would continue to use it for saving in the future.

BACKGROUND Many patients choose to audio-record their medical consultations so that they can relisten to them at home and share them with family. Consultation audio-recordings can improve patients’ recall and understanding of medical information and increase their involvement in decision making. A hospital-endorsed consultation audio-recording mobile app would provide patients with the permission and means to audio-record their consultations. The Theory of Planned Behavior provides a framework for understanding how patients can be encouraged to appropriately audio-record consultations. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to use a co-design process to develop a consultation audio-recording mobile app called SecondEars. METHODS App development began with stakeholder engagement, followed by a series of 6 co-design workshops and then user acceptance testing. Stakeholder engagement included advice from legal, information technology (IT), clinical and allied health leads; digital strategy; and medical records. he co-design workshops were attended by: patient consumers, members of the research team, IT staff, the app designers, clinicians, and staff from medical records. During workshops 1 to 4, the purpose and scope of the app were refined, possible pitfalls were addressed, and design features were discussed. The app designers then incorporated the results from these workshops to produce a wireframe mock-up of the proposed SecondEars app, which was presented for feedback at workshops 5 and 6. RESULTS The stakeholders identified 6 requirements for the app, including that it be patient driven, secure, clear in terms of legal responsibilities, linked to the patient’s medical record, and that it should require minimal upfront and ongoing resources. These requirements informed the scope of the co-design workshops. The workshops were attended by between 4 and 13 people. The workshop attendees developed a list of required features and suggestions for user interface design. The app developers used these requirements and recommendations to develop a prototype of the SecondEars app in iOS, which was then refined through user acceptance testing. CONCLUSIONS The SecondEars app allows patients to have control and autonomy over audio-recording and sharing their consultations while maintaining privacy and safety for medical information and legal protection for clinicians. The app has been designed to have low upkeep and minimal impact on clinical processes. The SecondEars prototype is currently being tested with patients in a clinical setting.

As If

Some years have now elapsed since I had the honour of addressing you from this chair. In the paper which I then read to you I urged on our younger members the necessity of studying finance, and especially of endeavouring to form a just estimate of the value of money, and of the rate of interest which will obtain in the future, so far as that future forms an element in our calculations. Without this knowledge we shall build with insufficient materials, and in the absence of its thoughtful application to our daily work, and to our periodical investigations and valuations, we shall rear a fabric which, although it may last during our lives, and look to all appearance as if it were carefully and substantially built, will certainly, before its time, show symptoms of decay, and finally fall about the ears of too confiding policy-holders.

Resumo: Desde O dia dos prodígios (1980) até Estuário (2018), a obra ficcional de Lídia Jorge percorre diferentes lugares, experiências e memórias para desenhar uma cartografia da vida precária e interrogar incansavelmente as sombras que se escondem nas dobras do tempo, sabendo que “escrever sobre o passado é sempre uma proposta de futuro”. A partir de alguns conceitos fundamentais de Agamben, o objectivo deste estudo é analisar como o olhar iluminador da romancista se debruça sobre o arcaico e o contemporâneo, para resgatar do silêncio os contornos mais sensíveis da realidade, oferecendo-nos um testemunho notável sobre a vulnerabilidade humana e interpelando-nos para uma reflexão estimulante sobre a importância da literatura na transformação do mundo.Palavras-chave: Lídia Jorge, Agamben, romance, sociedade portuguesa, ética.Abstract: From The Day of Prodigies (1980) to Estuary (2018), Lídia Jorge’s fictional work traverses different places, experiences and memories to draw a map of precarious life and tirelessly interrogate the shadows that hide in the folds of time, knowing that “writing about the past is always a proposal for the future.” From some fundamental concepts of Agamben, the objective of this study is to analyze how the illuminating look of the novelist focuses on the archaic and the contemporary, to rescue from the silence the most sensitive contours of reality, offering us a remarkable testimony about human vulnerability and questioning us for a stimulating reflection on the importance of literature in the transformation of the world.Keywords: Lídia Jorge, Agamben, novel, portuguese society, ethic.

BackgroundThe process of offering and scheduling residency interviews varies widely among programmes. Applicants report distress and have advocated for reform. However, there is a paucity of quantitative data to characterise applicant concerns.ObjectiveWe quantified the interview scheduling experience for US allopathic medical students in the 2020 main residency match.MethodsAn anonymous, 13 question survey was sent to student representatives from each Association of American Medical Colleges member institution. Recipients were asked to forward the survey to their entire fourth-year class.ResultsOf 4314 applicants to whom the survey was sent, 786 (18.2%) responded. Overall, 20.4% reported missing the opportunity to interview at a programme because they did not have adequate time to respond to an invitation; applicants into surgical specialties were significantly more likely than their non-surgical peers to report this experience (26.4% vs 18.4%, p<0.05). Most (57.4%) respondents scheduled an interview knowing they would likely cancel it in the future. The most commonly cited reason for this behaviour was concern that applicants would not receive invitations from other programmes (85.6%). A majority (56.4%) of respondents did not believe the match interview process functions based on equity and merit.ConclusionsAbout one in five respondents missed the opportunity to interview at a programme because they did not respond to an invitation in time. Most respondents scheduled interviews knowing that they were likely to cancel them in the future. Standardisation of the interview invitation timeline would address these concerns.

Mobile apps have been transforming how individuals and organizations share information and conduct business. This research studies the relationships among user readiness factors, privacy concerns, and user acceptance of mobile app stores. A survey was conducted among college smart phone users. Results indicate that the privacy concerns construct has a direct negative effect on purchase intention of mobile apps in the app store. In addition, user readiness has a direct positive effect on attitudes to the app store, and a net positive effect on purchase intention of apps in the app store. Implications of our findings were discussed.

Sekolah sebagai instansi pendidikan formal yang merupakan tempat untuk mencari ilmu, dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar. Sistem pendidikan nasional di Indonesia juga diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 20, yang menyatakan bahwa pendidikan dasar merupakan prasyarat dasar untuk jenjang pendidikan yang lebih tinggi. SMK NU merupakan sekolah menengah kejuruan yang berada di Kecamatan Gondanglegi Kabupaten Malang. Namun terdapat beberapa masalah seperti penyebarluasan tentang informasi yang dilakukan secara konvensional, proses pendaftaran dan seleksi murid yang masih dilakukan secara manual, proses evaluasi murid yang lama untuk melihat seluruh nilai mata pelajaran, serta pendataan alumni juga sulit dilakukan. Maka dari itu diperlukannya suatu sistem informasi yang dapat membantu menangani masalah tersebut. Proses pendaftaran dan seleksi murid, serta pengisian nilai dapat dipermudah dengan menggunakan sistem informasi pada penelitian ini yang dibangun dengan metode agile dan diimplementasikan pada website, berdasarkan hasil pengujian User Acceptance Testing yang diberikan kepada pihak orang tua calon murid selaku pendaftar (nilai persentase UAT sebesar 85%), dan pihak guru selaku penyeleksi calon murid (nilai persentase UAT sebesar 80%), serta pihak guru selaku penilai murid (nilai persentase UAT sebesar 90%).

Silver Bullet

In Chapter 8 we turn to Co-futuring Kinship—the ways in which past and present practices inform how the future of the kinship for care at a distance. This is particularly important for “super-aging” contexts like Japan in which one in three is of 80 years old. Chapter 8 sets the picture for discussion around digital health in which mobile media is fully imbricated in. Discussions around a “silver bullet” in the form of a mobile app still dominate despite the fact that there is much work into the need for social, rather than technological, solutions.
