“…IT has been developed and integrated into nursing care in many organisations worldwide 84 85. It has played an important role and was involved in interventions of daily activities during the COVID-19 pandemic 86–88. Even through IT-based measures such as video calls were beneficial for individuals by staying connected with their loved ones, there were also barriers including staff turnover, risk averseness, the specific study design, lack of family commitment and staff attitudes regarding technology 89…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to understand the evidence related to integration of social support into interventions, to identify literature gaps related to social support interventions, and to clarify dimensions of supportive functions, outcomes, and providers among the elderly in nursing homes.DesignThis scoping review followed the approach by Arksey and O’Malley. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool V.2018 was used for quality assessment of the studies.Data sourcesSearches were conducted of the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Public Library of Science, SocioHub, Wiley Online Library and PsycINFO databases for publications from 2010 to 2021.Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesWe searched for primary studies and heterogeneous study designs published in English. Eligible studies took place in nursing and care homes and had study populations of elderly adults (older adults, geriatrics, ageing, seniors, older people and those aged 60 years and older).Data extraction and synthesisA data extraction form based on Joanna Briggs Institute’s recommendations for scoping reviews was used. Two reviewers independently extracted data and performed quality assessment of the studies. Then, extracted data and quality assessment reports were discussed by all authors.ResultsThirty-one eligible studies were included in this review. 54.8% of the studies provided interventions for cognitively impaired residents. The top-three outcomes were neuropsychiatric symptoms, physical function and quality of life, respectively. The interventions were performed by nursing home staff (83.9%), other persons with specific qualifications (58.1%) and health volunteers (6.5%). Most studies (90.3%) depicted the integration of emotional and instrumental supportive functions into interventions.ConclusionThe appropriate dimensions of supportive function, mainly emotional and instrumental support, are important to integrate into the social care of elderly people living in nursing homes.

“…Moreover, many professors lack the professional development needed to implement biological content knowledge online and/or virtually (Brownell & Tanner, 2012;Hancher-Rauch et al, 2021;Rowland et al, 2022) and because of this, undergraduates who are generally more accustomed to formal/face-to-face pedagogy and learning are now faced with a myriad of adverse academic transitions. This includes, but is not limited to, curriculum revisions Crumb et al, 2020), acclimation with technology-based resources and educational platforms (Saher & Anjum, 2021) student evaluation and assessment (Szopiński & Bachnik, 2022) and changes in the ways examinations (midterm and final) are administered. Given these uncertainties, colleges and universities have endeavored to transform their educational format to full online learning until face-to-face instruction is once again feasible, assuming they choose to do so.…”

Since the inception of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, undergraduate microbiology students globally have had their education disrupted causing uncertainty with their education, learning, and career trajectories.Undergraduate students have faced challenges with the transition of online/virtual learning and interacting with their fellow colleagues and instructors. The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the education system globally and created a major paradigm shift that forced educators of all levels to adjust their traditional face-to-face pedagogy to an online mode of pedagogy instantaneously. I initiated this study because of the dilemma that the COVID-19 pandemic had on students’ experiences and instructors’ in meeting the challenges of transferring a course entirely online in a relatively very short time. The purpose of this study is to investigate the following: (1) to what extent do undergraduate students change their knowledge about topics in microbiology relevant to the course presented online? (2) to what extent do the undergraduate students change their opinions relating to topics addressed in a microbiology course relevant to the course presented online? (3) how do undergraduate students experience computer-based learning in a microbiology course relevant to the course presented online?

“…The developed intelligent service-care robots will benefit mission-critical sectors such as healthcare systems [46] , transportation, manufacturing, and environmental applications. For instance, the system can be deployed as a smart surveillance model for predictive-early detection/notification of community-induced epidemics (SSMPEDCIE).…”
