A web-based program for informal caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease: an iterative user-centered design.

BACKGROUND: Web-based programs have been developed for informal caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease (PWAD). However, these programs can prove difficult to adopt, especially for older people, who are less familiar with the Internet than other populations. Despite the fundamental role of usability testing in promoting caregivers' correct use and adoption of these programs, to our knowledge, this is the first study describing this process before evaluating a program for caregivers of PWAD in a randomized clinical trial. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to describe the developm…

Living in the hands of God. English Sunni e-fatwas on (non-)voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide.

Ever since the start of the twentieth century, a growing interest and importance of studying fatwas can be noted, with a focus on Arabic printed fatwas (Wokoeck 2009). The scholarly study of end-of-life ethics in these fatwas is a very recent feature, taking a first start in the 1980s (Anees 1984; Rispler-Chaim 1993). Since the past two decades, we have witnessed the emergence of a multitude of English fatwas that can easily be consulted through the Internet ('e-fatwas'), providing Muslims worldwide with a form of Islamic normative guidance on a huge variety of topics. Although English online …

Treatment of sexually compulsive adolescents.

We clarified the nature of sexual compulsivity in adolescence, addressed who is labeled as "sexually compulsive youth," conceptualized the underlying factors of sexual compulsivity, and outlined a treatment format. We focused on trauma, dissociation, attachment, and self-concept. We questioned the conventional perceptions of who is included in this group. We reiterated that the belief that sexually compulsive adolescents are abusive males is no longer considered accurate. The evolution and accessibility of the Internet only raises greater concerns about compulsive sexual behavior, as more adol…

#ChokeMeDaddy: A Content Analysis of Memes Related to Choking/Strangulation During Sex.

Recent research indicates that some young people initially learn about sexual choking through Internet memes. Thus, a qualitative content analysis was performed on 316 visual and textual memes collected from various social media websites and online searches to assess salient categories related to choking during sex. We identified nine main categories: communication, gendered dynamics, choking as dangerous, choking as sexy, sexualization of the nonsexual, shame and worry, romance/rough sex juxtaposition, choking and religious references, instructional/informational. Given that memes, through th…

Prevalence and correlates of screen-based media use among youths with autism spectrum disorders.

Anecdotal reports indicate that individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are often preoccupied with television, computers, and video games (screen-based media). However, few studies have examined this issue. The current study examined screen-based media use among a large, nationally representative sample of youths participating in the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2). The majority of youths with ASD (64.2%) spent most of their free time using non-social media (television, video games), while only 13.2% spent time on social media (email, internet chatting). Compared with…

Разработка и утверждение "композитивной меры проблемного поведения".

Клинические врачи часто сталкиваются с такими проблемами, как членовредительство, ограничительное питание, овощное питание, злоупотребление алкоголем, злоупотребление наркотиками, курение, сексуальная беспорядочность, зависимость от Интернета, чрезмерные физические упражнения и агрессия. Несмотря на то, что такое поведение, как правило, происходит одновременно, не существует шкалы для их измерения. На основе данных из двух возможных выборок (N = 691 и N = 53) в настоящем исследовании был разработан и подтвержден комплексный показатель проблемного поведения, о котором говорилось выше. Комплексн

Patients' experience of using online interventions for the management of late effects following completion of cancer treatment-protocol for a qualitative systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Global cancer cases are predicted to rise to 35 million by 2050 and survival rates are also increasing, meaning the number of patients experiencing late effects from their cancer treatment is expected to rise. Post-treatment side effects can present physically, psychologically, and functionally. These complications can include peripheral neuropathies, fatigue, cognitive or sexual difficulties, and heightened anxiety or depression. A wide range of online interventions have been developed as treatment and support tools for cancer patients following treatment, including self-directed

Resilient Control Under Side-Channel Compromise for IoMT Devices.

As Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) ecosystems expand, life-critical devices become increasingly vulnerable to microarchitectural leakage attacks that enable adversaries to evade conventional digital authentication mechanisms. Exploiting timing and cache leakage allows adversaries to extract credentials and issue cryptographically valid commands with physiologically unsafe parameters, a systemic weakness we define as the verified attacker problem. This work introduces a dual-layer physiological and side-channel defense architecture that maintains patient safety even under credential compromis…

Google Places API-Based US Built Environment Retail (UBER) Index and Its Spatial Association With Diabetes Prevalence Across US Counties: Cross-Sectional Ecological Study.

BACKGROUND: National surveillance of commercial retail environments remains limited by data sources that are updated infrequently and capture narrow dimensions of food access. The Google Places API provides continuously updated and programmatically accessible information on business locations across the United States, but its use as a population-level built-environment exposure measure has not been systematically evaluated. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop and evaluate a Google Places-derived US Built Environment Retail (UBER) Index as a scalable measure of county-level commercial retail
