“…The reality of D-learning in teaching Deaf students in Saudi Arabia was discussed. Thematic analysis combined with content analysis was used to analyze the gathered data from the semi-structured interview (Billups, 2021). The analysis began through organizing the teachers' answers into themes applying the Arabic language to ensure none of the Saudi culture related nuances are lost.…”

Within weeks COVID-19 compromised months of planning and transformed in-class learning to a distance learning environment to which most students and teachers were not accustomed. This resulted in the circulation of an expectations-performance gap with regards to what could be realistically implemented to further support the learning of Deaf students. This qualitative study aims to determine the reality of using distance learning to teach Deaf students throughout the crises period in Saudi Arabia and attempts to examine the optimal distance learning practices for Deaf students. 30 hearing and Deaf teachers, chosen through a stratified random sample, participated. A developed semi-structured interview was used for data collection. The collected data was analyzed through the application of content analysis. The findings revealed that despite the benefits of distance learning in developing teachers’ technology skills, they encountered numerous obstacles including administrative, technical, teaching, family and personal challenges. Several educational strategies and tools were suggested to help educators facilitate Deaf learning during the crises. The study reveals the required support from the Saudi Ministry of Education to make distance learning accessible for Deaf learners.

“…TSoK was chosen as a unit of analysis in the form of a literary document (Billups, 2021;Puteh & Said, 2010). Parts of TSoK that assisted the study in interpreting the types of hero existed in the folktale meaningfully were the units of coding; the context units were the portion of the surrounding tales required to comprehend the meaning of the units of coding established to determine the heroes in TSoK (Schreier, 2012(Schreier, , 2013.…”

The present study is part of a movement to safeguard Malay folktales as an unsung intangible cultural heritage (ICH). A folktale is a representation of oral traditions and expressions. This study converges on literary folktales as a revitalized form of oral folktales. As urged by UNESCO, the viability of the ICH is achievable via scientific research, among other things. Therefore, considering the small amount of study on Malay folktales at the moment, the current study endeavors to examine the folktale The Song of the Kedidi (TSoK) of its hero embodiment as one of the dramatis personae. The framework of Propp’s dramatis personae, which is based on Russian folktales, grounds the examination. This study examines whether the heroes from the Russian folktales embody TSoK. The thematic qualitative text analysis (TQTA) was employed to examine TSoK. It was conducted in Atlas.ti environment to assure rigor and trustworthiness. The study’s findings suggest that TSoK embodies heroes from Russian folktales. However, a conundrum exists in the embodiment of the hero. There is a conflict between the dramatis personae’s role, and such an enigma calls for the involvement of other dramatis personae, which is reserved for future works. As a crusade to safeguard the Malay folktales as the unsung ICH, the findings create a platform for scholars of similar interests to pursue the examination of heroes in other Malay folktales. Most importantly, the findings are necessary for endless recreation and transmission of knowledge to safeguard the Malay folktale as a living heritage. This act echoes one of UNESCO’s formal education measures to foster society’s respect, recognition, and awareness of the ICH.

Background Social determinants of health (SDoH), such as geographic neighborhoods, access to health care, education, and social structure, are important factors affecting people’s health and health outcomes. The SDoH of patients are scarcely documented in a discrete format in electronic health records (EHRs) but are often available in free-text clinical narratives such as physician notes. Innovative methods like natural language processing (NLP) are being developed to identify and extract SDoH from EHRs, but it is imperative that the input of key stakeholders is included as NLP systems are designed. Objective This study aims to understand the feasibility, challenges, and benefits of developing an NLP system to uncover SDoH from clinical narratives by conducting interviews with key stakeholders: (1) oncologists, (2) data analysts, (3) citizen scientists, and (4) patient navigators. Methods Individuals who frequently work with SDoH data were invited to participate in semistructured interviews. All interviews were recorded and subsequently transcribed. After coding transcripts and developing a codebook, the constant comparative method was used to generate themes. Results A total of 16 participants were interviewed (5 data analysts, 4 patient navigators, 4 physicians, and 3 citizen scientists). Three main themes emerged, accompanied by subthemes. The first theme, importance and approaches to obtaining SDoH, describes how every participant (n=16, 100%) regarded SDoH as important. In particular, proximity to the hospital and income levels were frequently relied upon. Communication about SDoH typically occurs during the initial conversation with the oncologist, but more personal information is often acquired by patient navigators. The second theme, SDoH exists in numerous forms, exemplified how SDoH arises during informal communication and can be difficult to enter into the EHR. The final theme, incorporating SDoH into health services research, addresses how more informed SDoH can be collected. One strategy is to empower patients so they are aware about the importance of SDoH, as well as employing NLP techniques to make narrative data available in a discrete format, which can provide oncologists with actionable data summaries. Conclusions Extracting SDoH from EHRs was considered valuable and necessary, but obstacles such as narrative data format can make the process difficult. NLP can be a potential solution, but as the technology is developed, it is important to consider how key stakeholders document SDoH, apply the NLP systems, and use the extracted SDoH in health outcome studies.
