Abstract

This paper describes the digitalization process of an originally school-based educational programme to an online version and confirms its efficacy on teaching young children as well as their parents about stroke symptoms and the necessary actions needed to be taken in the event of a stroke. Forty children (20 children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and 20 without NDDs), aged 4–9 years, as well as 35 of these children's parents (30–50 years old) participated in the study in Greece. All individuals watched 5 educational videos, designed and produced by the Super Grand League Team. Each video had a mean duration of 15 minutes. Most children had no prior knowledge neither in stroke symptoms nor to the appropriate actions after a stroke. Children's knowledge of stroke symptoms (except the symptom of speech disturbance) and the appropriate actions following stroke improved significantly immediately post training (p < 0.05). Children with NDDs demonstrated no significant differences when compared to their peers without NDDs in regards to the knowledge gains. In the same line, parents showed a significant increase in their knowledge as regards the stroke symptoms (p < 0.001). Only 2 parents (5.7%) knew the correct emergency number before participating in the online programme, while all of them (100%) responded correctly after the programme. The current work using multimodal remote education demonstrates significant improvement in learning about stroke symptomatology and the necessary steps that need to follow. Future work should evaluate the impact of digital interventions in respect of onset-to-door times and stroke outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Today's interconnected digital world with its multitude of data-collecting devices and means along with augmented data processing capabilities has unlocked new possibilities for increasing the efficiency of contemporary agricultural supply chains, including production, processing and distribution operations. Furthermore, issues such as climate change, global population increase, the rise of alternative energy sources, agricultural technological advances, and shifting consumer dietary preferences have been reshaping the global contemporary food management landscape. These factors, in conjunction with the limited availability of arable land, present challenges regarding the availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability of food worldwide. We present an up-to-date critical synthesis of the most acute challenges of food security and provide a first effort at identifying ways in which big data could help alleviate them. Specifically, satellite imagery and data, groundwater monitoring, the Internet-of-Things (IoT), viewing advantages through the use of drones, updated global atlases, as well as regional and crop yield mapping, precision agriculture, demand prediction accuracy, and the ease-of-use of terminals such as smartphones and tablets are some of the tools of the information age that demonstrate great potential towards increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of food chains worldwide and, ultimately, ensuring food security.
