BACKGROUND AND AIMS The occupation-based intervention has shown effective recovery in overall disability of stroke survivors, yet the concept is unexplored among Pakistani occupational therapists. Therefore, this study is aimed to explore their perception regarding occupation-based intervention in stroke rehabilitation. METHODOLOGY A self-administered questionnaire designed in Google Docs was distributed online via email and social media applications to record participants’ responses regarding occupation-based approaches in post-stroke rehabilitation. RESULTS A total number of 150 occupational therapists were enrolled in the study comprised 135 females and 15 males from 18 to 44 years of age. It was revealed that 53.3% therapists had taken an average of 45 minutes of clinical practice sessions on occupation-based intervention, 64.7 % believed to be well trained in the occupation-based approach. Moreover, 69.3% stated that their professional practice in post-stroke rehabilitation is generally based on the biomedical model, yet 39.3% of therapists have no clarity of this concept. CONCLUSION It was concluded that most occupational therapists understand the concept of occupation-based intervention. However, only a few were trained and implementing the approach in stroke rehabilitation, while the rest were found to have insufficient knowledge regarding this practice.

Self Administered Questionnaire

In this era of information technology when internet and smart devices are everywhere and demand of connectivity for socialization is at its peak, it’s quite interesting that adolescents are the significant user of these social media applications and devices. The purpose behind this extensive use of social media is may be to share their personal experience , thoughts and work with others or may be cope their feeling of being alone or for their psychological wellbeing. This paper examined this particular phenomenon of social networking, perceived loneliness and psychosocial well-being in adolescents. This is hypothesized that increased social networking use is likely to predict the perceived loneliness and psycho-social well-being in adolescents. The participants included 150 adolescents between 13 to 19 years of age, both boys and girls who were accessed from various schools and colleges of Lahore. The data collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The data was analyzed through SPSS version 21.00.

Background: In 2016 the Nursing and Midwifery Council in the UK introduced revalidation, which is the process nurses are required to follow to renew their registration. This provides an opportunity for nurses to shape, develop and evolve social media to meet their professional requirements. Aims: to examine different ways nurses can use social media tools for continuous professional development (CPD) and revalidation. Methods: using a qualitative reflective design, data were gathered from content on the @WeNurses platform and activities organised with other leading health organisations in England. These data were analysed using the social media relationship triangle developed by the authors with a thematic analysis approach. Findings: analysis revealed that social media was used in six categories: publishing, sharing, messaging, discussing, collaborating, and networking. Organised social media events such as: blogs, tweetchats, Twitter storms, webinars, infographics, podcasts, videos and virtual book clubs can support nurses with revalidation and professional development. Conclusion: Through using a participatory CPD approach and embracing professional social media applications nurses have moved social media from the concept of a revolution to an evolution.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness with primary symptoms of widespread pain and fatigue. Social media applications have become a recent resource allowing individuals with fibromyalgia to interact in a virtual community devoted to the illness. This study explores how such a community develops and maintains itself on Instagram and the ways it creates social capital for its users. Data are derived from Instagram posts and open-ended questionnaires completed by users living with fibromyalgia who use the application. Using content analysis and semiotic methodology, the study analyzes the diverse ways in which users shared their experiences with fibromyalgia, the management of its symptoms, and issues encountered in accessing health care systems. Instagram aids in the development of a community by facilitating intimate and supportive interactions about the illness and the creation of personalized day-to-day narratives accessible to all. Norms of trust, acceptance, and reciprocity characterize the diversity of interactions in this community.

StreszczenieNeuroplastyczność jest zjawiskiem powszechnym w działaniu układu nerwowego, a samoistne i spontaniczne zdrowienie jest normą we wczesnym okresie poudarowym. Zmiany plastyczne leżą u podstaw przywracania funkcji po uszkodzeniu mózgu. Reprezentacje czuciowe i ruchowe pól korowych mogą być modyfikowane przez dopływ bodźców ze środowiska. Odpowiednio dobrane strategie postępowania fizjoterapeutycznego mają wpływ na spontaniczną neuroplastyczność. Przedstawiono podstawowe założenia działań terapeutycznych mających korzystny wpływ, na omawiane zjawisko reorganizacji układu nerwowego oraz uczenia się kontekstualnego, szczególnie w odniesieniu do zagadnienia Terapii Ruchem Wymuszonym Koniecznością. Opisano protokół Tauba dotyczący tej terapii oraz stanowiący jej podwalinę zespół wyuczonego nieużywania. Przybliżono zagadnienie shapingu i praktyki zadaniowej (ćwiczeń zadaniowych). Głównym celem opisywanej terapii jest przywrócenie spontanicznego i automatycznego wykorzystania kończyny niedowładnej w czynnościach dnia codziennego.Na zjawisko plastyczności istotny wpływ mają: wzbogacone środowisko, odległość czasu od zachorowania, liczba powtórzeń zadań ruchowych oraz znajomość wykonywanych czynności co potwierdzają dowody naukowe.Prawidłowo prowadzona terapia pozwala przenieść osiągnięte umiejętności poza ściany kliniki i przyczynia się do funkcjonalnej niezależności pacjentów.

Big Data is a very popular term today. Everywhere you turn companies and organizations are talking about their Big Data solutions and Analytic applications. The source of the data used in these applications varies. However, one type of data is of great interest to most organizations, Social Media Data. Social Media applications are used by a large percentage of the world’s population. The ability to instantly connect and reach other people and companies over distributed distances is an important part of today’s society. Social Media applications allow users to share comments, opinions, ideas, and media with friends, family, businesses, and organizations. The data contained in these comments, ideas, and media are valuable to many types of organizations. Through Data Mining and Analysis, it is possible to predict specific behavior in users of the applications. Currently, several technologies aid in collecting, analyzing, and displaying this data. These technologies allow users to apply this data to solve different problems, in different organizations, including the finance, medicine, environmental, education, and advertising industries. This paper aims to highlight the current technologies used in Data Mining and Analyzing Social Media data, the industries using this data, as well as the future of this field.
