This document describes a study that evaluated the clarity, comprehensibility, and utility of icon-driven and gestural response modes employed in a tablet-based adolescent health screening tool called TickiT. Thirty adolescents aged 14-20 years old from diverse backgrounds completed the TickiT survey while thinking aloud. Their responses were analyzed to assess comprehension of the interactive response options and their views on using electronic tablets for health screening. Most participants found the icon-based and gestural response modes intuitive and engaging. They understood how to use the different response functions and felt the question prompts and options were clear. The majority expressed preference for completing health screens using an electronic tablet over paper forms.

Factor Analysis of Students’ Exposure to Social Media for Food and Beveragesajjalp
Food and beverage marketing on social media is
a powerful factor to influence students’
exposure to social media and application for
food and beverage. It is a well-known fact that
most of the food and beverage business target
young people on the social media. The objective
of the study is to identify the factors associated
to the students’ exposure in the social media
platforms for food and beverage. The young
students between the ages 20 to 26 years
completed a self-administered questionnaire
survey on their media use for food and
beverages. The questionnaire was prepared
using Likert scale with five options from
strongly agree to strongly disagree. The data set
was described with descriptive statistics such as
mean and standard deviation. The exploratory
factor analysis with varimax rotation method
was used to extract the factors. The most
popular social media among the respondents
were Facebook, Instagram, and You Tube.
73.3% of the students were exposed to food and
beverage application in their mobile device and
76% of them followed the popular food and
beverage pages in social media. The result
revealed that social media posts, promotional
offer, and hygienic concept have positively
influenced majority of the students’ exposure to
social media for food and beverage.

• Un Film Vidéo d’une situation de soin représentant un patient en service de réanimation, privé de ses sens et pris en soin par un binôme IDE/AS.
• L’attention des soignants fait réagir le patient. Celui-ci, les sens en éveil, reprend vie au fur et à mesure des soins dispensés.
• Les soignants, centrés sur le patient, éprouvent un contentement dans leur exercice professionnel. Ils mobilisent eux-mêmes leurs propres sens et leur intuitivité pour une prise en soin individualisée et empreinte d’humanité.
• Les cinq sens sont mis en avant et dévoilent la richesse qu’ils apportent dans les échanges interhumains ; gratuits et non chronophages. La volonté du soignant est la seule condition.
• Une scène qui tente d’exprimer, par un modèle positif plutôt qu'un contre exemple, la démarche soignante. Il s’agit d’illustrer le respect des bonnes pratiques malgré une situation complexe dans un contexte de soin très médicalisé où la technicité pourrait être valorisée au dépend de la relation.
Notre projet concerne la blouse hospitalière actuelle, nous nous sommes rendus compte que:
- La pudeur du patient est mise à mal
- Une gêne est occasionnée auprès des visiteurs ( famille, amis...)
-Sentiments de honte et de gêne pour le patient lors des mobilisations, des déplacements (pas de sortie de la chambre)...
-Non respect de la charte de la personne hospitalisée ¹.
-Inconfort lié aux boutons pressions dorsaux
La blouse que nous avons crée est plus longue afin de faciliter la sortie des patients. Elle cache les parties intimes, avec la possibilité de la fermer au niveau de l'entre-jambe et sur le côté grâce à des pressions.
Notre blouse possède un col plus large afin de permettre au patient d'être plus à l'aise notamment lorsqu'il s’assoit.

ABSTRACT
Objective: Our objective was to compare the change in research informed knowledge of health professionals
and their intended practice following exposure to research information delivered by either Twitter or Facebook.
Methods: This open label comparative design study randomized health professional clinicians to receive
“practice points” on tendinopathy management via Twitter or Facebook. Evaluated outcomes included knowl-
edge change and self-reported changes to clinical practice.
Results: Four hundred and ninety-four participants were randomized to 1 of 2 groups and 317 responders ana-
lyzed. Both groups demonstrated improvements in knowledge and reported changes to clinical practice. There
was no statistical difference between groups for the outcomes of knowledge change (P¼ .728), changes to clini-
cal practice (P¼ .11) or the increased use of research information (P¼ .89). Practice points were shared more by
the Twitter group (P < .001); attrition was lower in the Facebook group (P < .001).
Conclusion: Research information delivered by either Twitter or Facebook can improve clinician knowledge and
promote behavior change. No differences in these outcomes were observed between the Twitter and Facebook
groups. Brief social media posts are as effective as longer posts for improving knowledge and promoting
behavior change. Twitter may be more useful in publicizing information and Facebook for encouraging course
completion.

What is mass media research? Describe the development of mass media research....Md. Sajjat Hossain
Research is a systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict, and control the observed phenomenon. The main purpose of research is to inform action, to prove a theory, and contribute to developing knowledge in a field or study according to the scientific method. Research can be about anything but the important thing for all researchers to understand is the correct methods to follow and to ensure the best results.

1. What is your research question?
Does Reality TV influence perceive body image in the adolescent child?
2. What is your hypothesis or hypotheses? What is the null hypothesis?
H0: Reality TV does not influence perceived body image in the adolescent child
H1: Reality TV does influence perceived body image in the adolescent child
3. Participants
To qualify as a participant in the study the age should range from eight years to sixteen years. Culturally, the study will use African American, Caucasian, and other racial backgrounds. I intend to use adolescents from the same socio-economic levels to attain reliability and validity with the current data analysis and collection for the study. I will use an audit trail and reflective journal to achieve a high degree of dependability.
4. Sampling technique
I will use a purposeful sample with the adequate number of adolescents to facilitate efficient and effective saturation of categories. Any negative case enhances validity since it demonstrates that the aspects of the analysis are less than obvious. Top improve transferability in the study I will use moderate populated schools in the samples that attract adolescents from multiple cultures, histories, and comparable socio-economic levels across the city.
5. What are the variables in your study?
Demographic data, race, body dissatisfaction, body image, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, media pressure, awareness, self-confidence, and internalization
6. Provide operational definitions for each variable.
The race will mention the cultural background of each participant. The awareness of body image and self-image begins to form at a young age. It is not clear whether the desire or pressure to become thin affects all adolescents equally. At the age of six, girls desire a thin body and use some types of diet to obtain low weight and thin body. Girls spend a lot of time watching television or magazines to focus on the appearance and use thin models.
Ethnically blacks interpret media influences from white or Hispanics. A majority of white participants indicate a desire to look at thin models shown in advertisements.
The media pressure will present one’s effect of media portrayal. There seems to be a consensus that the mass media does tend to influence one's perception of body image. Exposure of commercials that use thin models leads to higher levels of dissatisfaction with overall body image.
7Measuirng of variables
I will use a Body Dissatisfaction Subscale of the Eating Disorder Inventory to measure specific bodies such as waist and thighs. Additionally, A Multidimensional Media Influence Scale (MMIS) will measure five dimensions of media influence that include awareness of media thin ideal, media pu.

1. Do the media influence adolescent girl’s body images?
2. Null Hypothesis: the media does not have an influence on adolescent girl’s body image. Alternate Hypothesis: the media does influence adolescent girl’s body image.
3. The correct sample size that will be used in the research is 385 adolescent girls. Determining the right sample size involves the calculation of the margin of error. The estimated margin of error at 95 percent confidence level that is a 5 percent chance that the results will be different is derived by 1/√N. N is the sample size. This means that a sample size of 10 will have a margin of error of 31.6 percent, but a sample size of 100 will have a 10 percent margin of error. This implies that the greater the N, the smaller the margin of error; therefore, the results of the research will useful (White & McBurney, 2013). A sample size of 385 participants is sufficiently large and is representative of the population, and limits extreme observations and the impacts of outliers. The inclusion characteristics include: they must be female, must be aged between 13 and 19 years and must be exposed to different forms of media. The exclusion characteristics are: history of any mental or personality disorder and history of drug use. The sample should be diverse. This is to make the sample representative of all adolescent girls.
4. The sampling technique that will be used in the study is random sampling. Random sampling is choosing a sample from the statistical population so that every sample that could be chosen has a predetermined chance of being chosen. This is the most appropriate sampling technique since it is the least unbiased of all sampling methods (Monsen et al, 2008). Additionally, there is no subjectivity is the technique because each member of the statistical population has an equal chance of being chosen. The sample will generalize to the entire adolescent girls’ population. This is the key advantage of random sampling because it is representative of the population. The only factor that can make the sample unrepresentative of the population is sampling error.
5. There are two variables in my study: the dependent and the independent variable. The dependent variable is the body image of adolescent girls, while the independent variable is the media. The body image of adolescent girls’ is the dependent variable because it is changed by factors such as the media. This is the variable being measured in the study. The independent variable is not affected by other factors or variables. The research is attempting to establish the relationship between media and adolescent girls’ body image. That .

1. What is your research question?
Do the indirect or direct exposures have influence for misinformation effecting testimony and eyewitness memory?
2. What is your hypothesis or hypotheses? What is the null hypothesis?
Hypothesis: Exposure towards misinformation leads to human memory distortions for events that are genuinely experienced and also individual details, places, and things and observer’s are misinformed thus portraying untrue information.
Null Hypothesis: The human memory is unaffected on events that are experienced, also individual details, places, and things and observer’s are not misinformed which does not portray untrue information.
3. How many participants would you like to use and why? What are the inclusion characteristics, i.e., what must they have in order to be included in your study (for example, gender, diagnosis, age, personality traits, etc.)? Are there any exclusion characteristics, i.e. are there certain characteristics that would exclude them from being in your study? Does the sample need to be diverse? Why or why not?
For such study 120 contestants, 60 female and 60 male members are used. The group comprises of persons between 18-55 years age. I have chosen 120 contestants representing equal gender split. They are split in 3 age groups, like 18-30, 31-44, and 45-55. This places 40 individuals in every group. The ethnicity and race are divided evenly between the groups. Excluding one criteria that individuals below 18 and over 55 years cannot participate. I rely as the sample is not diversified for generalizing my findings to the adults. Study cannot be completed by females only and the results are expected for males too.
4. What sampling technique will be used to collect your sample? What population does your sample generalize to?
Sampling technique used to collect the sample is convenience sampling. This is due to cost effectiveness and ease. It also provides the ability for choosing number of participants required. Individuals are invited to participate in the study till the amount desired and diversity is fulfilled.
Though convenience sampling is not greatly reviewed for generalizing the population, but if properly conducted between the parameters suggested above, the study must be generalized to the population of adults. There is no specific exclusion or inclusion criteria can control the generalization of a particular group. I have planned for splitting the gender for getting the equal percentage of ethnicities/race involved in the study and uniformly representing it in every age group. This helps towards better generalization of general population study.
5. What are the variables in your study? HINT: Refer back to your hypothesis or hypotheses.
The variables in the study include gender, race, age and ethnicity. The environment must be variable and the person must present the informa ...

The Effects of Electronic Media Devices on the Quality of Sleep
Today, the world sees a shift due to the existing communication technologies that have resulted in a trend where young and old are continually using their devices for various purposes such as communication and browsing. Browsing probably would benefit from a definition or description. Young users are continually using the devices even during their sleep time leading to a question whether the trend has a notable effect on their quality of sleep. This implies that adults are responsible users. There are various researchers that have attempted to evaluate the relationship between the continued use of the devices and the quality of sleep. There is a notable impact that is not necessarily strong where young and adolescent of the devices showed low quality sleep and more frequent sleeping problems. This sentence would benefit from being reworded.
A study carried out in 2014 that involved 1287 learners aged between 12 and 18 years indicated that children who are frequent media users reported more sleeping problems than children who are not (King, Delfabbro, Zwaans & Kaptsis, 2014). The study showed that the problems may vary from one child to the other depending on age and the frequency of media use. The study did not point out the exact reasons behind the findings, but the results resonate with a study carried out in 2015 that reported that adolescents and preadolescents using the devices past 9 pm experienced sleeping problems. The continued use of the media devices past 9 pm impacted the sleep quality among young adolescents (Bruni, Settee, Fontanesi, Baiocco, Laghi & Baumgartner, 2015). This can be cited as Bruni et al. The participants did not have enough sleep, which is one of the primary reasons why the quality of sleep was affected. The two studies noted that there is a need for younger individuals to have enough sleep, thus all distractions must be eliminated.
Further, a 2017 study showed that children who do not use media and communication devices had better sleep quality and duration of sleep than who continually used the devices (Dube, Khan, Loehr, Chu & Veugelers, 2017). The quality of sleep is dependent on the duration of sleep and children without the devices are likely to sleep for the recommended time. Is this information derived from the cited study? If so, that needs to be clearer.The study also raised the sleep duration issue where the devices prevent the young learners from having enough sleep. Additionally, some of the users suffer ...

The use of screen based media use (SBMU) has seen a steady increase over the years. Research conducted by American, Australian, and Canadian Health departments have cited concerns on the increasing use of SBMU in children, more specifically children under the age of two. It is recommended by many health professionals that children limit their exposure to SBMU to two hour or less per day. However, today this is proving more challenging as SBMU is not just on television, it is a part of schools, afterschool activities, and at each child’s fingertips with the advancements in smartphones.
Healthcare experts warnings about SBMU have not been heeded. To the contrary, children today, even after the recommendations have been put out, are using SBMU more then ever. For example, over a ten-year period SBMU data was collected on children and the findings showed in increase in screen viewing of all types from 3 hours and 45 minutes to 4 hours and 30 minutes. Other studies from the USA, UK, and Canada, show a similar trend regarding SBMU and children. All three countries have conducted research targeting the percentage of children who accede the two-hour SBMU recommended threshold. In all three countries the research clearly showed that over 50 percent of the children studied regularly used some form of screen-based media more then the recommended two hours.

Technology use by children has led to alarming statistics showing obesity and psychiatric disorders on the rise. Today, children’s distractions or medical conditions related to technology use are misdiagnosed and subsequently these children are overly medicated. There are many factors that contribute to kids obesity and psychological issues, but the major contributing factors are less one-on-one time with parents doing out.

Literature Review
Since the introduction of electronic devices, the world has shifted into a new technological era with great assistance from the development of the internet. The technology then became more portable and commercial, which made the mechanisms more accessible, affordable and evidently more desirable. The popularity of these internet associated devices rose quickly and still continue to rise, as it becomes the norm for individuals to own at least one electronic device. The purpose of these devices it to assist with an individual’s daily task along with many more possibilities, and because of its influential power, questions like how it affected with the development of humans in the modern era begin to surface.
The purpose of this study is to discover how the interactions and communications between humans have evolved since the involvement of internet and electronic technology. This topic has peaked interest of many researchers, and popular themes concerning the topic includes relationships and intimacy between individuals via the internet from computers and phones. Some previous research that has been chosen to be used as references all follow along a similar pattern, regarding the sample size and diversity, methodology, and theoretical influences.
One method that is popular to the researchers in the field of sociology is known as Ethnography, which is “the systematic description of human behaviour and organizational culture based on first-hand observation” (Howard, 2002, p.553). But because of the new technological advancement, using such a traditional procedure may be unable to fully analyze the subject. One research decided to adapt to the technologic subject and develop a different form of Ethnography to accommodate any flaws the tradition method had; the new methodology is called Network Ethnography.
Network ethnography involves with passive or active observation, extended immersion, and in-depth interviews, following the processes of ethnographical research methods. The contribution Network ethnography provides is that it does not limit the researcher into choosing territorial field sites, but also has the opportunity to select multiple social networks as field sites.
Another reason why they believe Network Ethnography is a valid method of examining social behaviour and different technological mediums is that a researcher can manage sample bias whether it be extreme, snowball or any other sampling method. The reason being is that “snowball sampling for example, does not allow the researcher to control the direction of sample growth, but social network analysis will identify some of the most significant informants in the network (Howard, 2002 pg 562).” Researchers can use the in.

Summary of an Academic Journal Article
The journal that I have decided to research served to answer the question of, to what extent are young adults engaging in “Relationship Work” with a partner and with a friend?”. These researchers focused on the differences that these behaviors caused within creating a functioning relationship that lasts within young couples. They decided to focus on dating couples because of a previous article about married couples that stated that relationships are greatly affected by outside factors like friends and family because they can influence the individual to believe that their status is either good or bad, (Proulx, Helms & Payne). This made the researchers believe there was still a piece missing in the study and that piece was young and fresh relationships. They wanted to know how this relationship work could change the overall wellbeing of that couple and how happy the two individuals were within it.
Before they surveyed the individuals, the authors came up with a few hypotheses. The first hypothesis that they explored was that females would be more willing to talk to their friends about relationship problems than their partners and that males would be the exact opposite, talking to their significant others more than their friends. The second hypothesis that they believed would be true is that unlike the study that observed older couples, younger relationships would struggle greatly if they were talking to their friends more than each other. This was assumed because the artists realized that older people tend to pick friends that would be more supportive of their relationships while younger people choose friends that trend to have information that can be “incorrect, misleading, and unsupportive.”(Jensen & Rauer).
The main factor that they were testing, or the dependent variable, was a combination of three different areas: happiness, commitment, and relationship quality. They used the quantitative method of surveying to sample individuals that both volunteered and were convenient to the authors. In other words, the researchers put out a questionnaire as ext.
