Abstract Japan aims to enable older adults to remain at home in their familiar environment. However, the factors associated with daily life support for older adults who require medical and nursing care to remain at home are unclear. This study aimed to clarify the factors associated with daily life support for single older adults needing medical and nursing care to remain at home. Our participants were single older adults aged 65-94 years receiving medical and nursing care and their care providers. First, we analyzed records, which were written by care providers, regarding ten older adults who received medical and nursing care from 2014 to 2018. We categorized occurrences which exert single older adults’ life on change into six factors, such as gradual frailty and loss of a loved one. Then, to consider how they experience these factors, we conducted semi-structured interviews with three additional older adults who were single and received home visiting nursing care service in 2020. During this process, four multidisciplinary researchers discussed the factors associated with daily life support for single older adults; finally, three factors were derived. The first one pertained to health conditions: receiving sufficient medical and nursing care maintain older adults’ physical condition. The second related to the environment: maintaining social interactions (neighbors and friends). The third pertained to older adults’ values and meanings to remain at home. This study suggests that care providers focus on these three factors to help older adults who received medical and nursing care to remain at their home.

Abstract. The world is currently facing the covid-19 pandemic which has been shifting most of human daily life by using digital technology. One that was worried about the teenagers spirituality disruption due to excessive use of digital technology. This paper aimed to study the parenetal’s role in the spiritual growth of teenagers during the covid-19 pandemic through a literature study. Through this study, it was concluded that the pandemic period was an opportunity for parents to optimally implement Christian Religious Education in the family due to the large amount of meeting time between parents and teenagers at home. Thus it can be an opportunity for parents to as much as possible improve the spirituality of their teenagers.Abstrak. Saat ini dunia tengah dihadapkan dengan fenomena pandemi covid-19 yang mengalihkan sebagian besar rutinitas manusia dengan menggunakan teknologi digital. Salah satu hal yang dikuatirkan dampaknya terhadap spiritual remaja yang akan merosot karena penyalagunaan teknologi digital secara berlebihan. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran orang tua terhadap pertumbuhan spiritual remaja pada masa pandemi covid-19 melalui studi kepustakaan. Melalui kajian ini disimpulkan bahwa masa pandemi menjadi kesempatan bagi orang tua untuk menerapkan Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam keluarga secara optimal oleh karena banyaknya waktu pertemuan antara orang tua dan remaja di rumah. Dengan demikian hal itu dapat menjadi peluang bagi orang tua untuk semaksimal mungkin meningkatkan kerohanian anak remajanya.

This chapter investigates the context of children's daily life linked to family, in particular concentrating on the time children spend at home and with parents. Mirroring the stability of time at school over the past several decades, children's waking time at home with their parents on school days changed remarkably little over four decades between 1975 and 2015. Days when children are not at school, in contrast, have witnessed significant changes in the time children are at home with their parents. In 2000, children spent less time at home with parents than children in 1975. The examination of changes in children's activities in context revealed that children in 2000 were spending more time in screen-based activities and substantially more time in domestic activities (primarily shopping) outside the home than children in 1975, the latter of which likely includes time when children are with their parents. Between 2000 and 2015, there was a subsequent reversal of this trend, with a significant increase in the time children spent at home with their parents, which accounts for an overall increase in this period in the time children spend at the same location as their parents. This increase in time at home with parents on non-school days coincides with children spending more time doing activities such as homework, study, and screen-based activities, and less time in active travel and out-of-home play.

Abstract In the last years, the advent of innovative technologies for tracking human motions is increasing the interest of physicians and physiotherapist, who would like to introduce new instruments for a more objective assessment of the rehabilitation processes. At present, many motion tracking systems have been developed and their ease of use and low-cost may represent the key aspects for which these systems could be really adopted both in rehabilitation centers and in rehabilitation programs at home. Several research studies confirmed the importance of continuing rehabilitation programs at home with the aim to maintain patients’ health condition at a suitable level for daily life activities. Physicians and physiotherapists need methods and tools, which can be simply adaptable for each type of patients’ category and type of rehabilitation according to the assessed pathology. For achieving this need, the technology has to be suitable for both the patient side and medical personnel side. The most suitable technology for the patients are motion tracking devices which can be used through traditional IT, such as laptops, smartphones and tablets. Also for medical personnel the ease of use is very important, physicians would like to check the patient’s rehab exercises according to their medical knowledge by exploiting daily life technology. This research work investigates on which are the best user-friendly programming tools and low-cost technology for 3D hand and finger tracking for the development of a serious game for rehabilitation exercises. The tasks are designed according to physiotherapists’ recommendations, in order to be customizable for any single user. The following sections will describe the method, the tools adopted, and the application developed.

As the number of people living in high-rise buildings increases, so does the incidence of cardiac arrest in these locations. Changes in cardiac arrest location affect the recognition of patients and emergency medical service (EMS) activation and response. This study aimed to compare the EMS response times and probability of a neurologically favorable discharge among patients who suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) event while on a high or low floor at home or in a public place. This retrospective analysis was based on Smart Advanced Life Support registry data from January 2016 to December 2017. We included patients older than 18 years who suffered an OHCA due to medical causes. A high floor was defined as ≥3rd floor above ground. We compared the probability of a neurologically favorable discharge according to floor level and location (home vs. public place) of the OHCA event. Of the 6,335 included OHCA cases, 4,154 (65.6%) events occurred in homes. Rapid call-to-scene times were reported for high-floor events in both homes and public places. A longer call-to-patient time was observed for home events. The probability of a neurologically favorable discharge after a high-floor OHCA was significantly lower than that after a low-floor OHCA if the event occurred in a public place (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 0.58; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 0.37–0.89) but was higher if the event occurred at home (aOR, 1.40; 95% CI, 0.96–2.03). Both the EMS response times to OHCA events in high-rise buildings and the probability of a neurologically favorable discharge differed between homes and public places. The results suggest that the prognosis of an OHCA patient is more likely to be affected by the building structure and use rather than the floor height.
