Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.0K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.6K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Lysosomal Hydrolases01:22

Lysosomal Hydrolases

4.4K
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Information Science
  • Early Literacy Development

Background:

  • Child-computer interaction is widespread, yet research on screen time's educational impact lags.
  • Many "educational" apps lack substantiated claims and quality vetting resources are scarce.
  • Limited guidance exists for designing digital tools for young children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a high-quality, inclusive alphabet app for reinforcing early writing skills.
  • To integrate haptic interactions and simplified gamification for enhanced learning.
  • To address the gap in research and design guidance for children's educational apps.

Main Methods:

  • Employed co-creation and cooperative inquiry principles in an interdisciplinary study.
  • Conducted two qualitative user studies with children as co-designers, including prototype testing and interviews.
  • Utilized librarian rubrics and checklists for quality definition, incorporating teacher feedback.

Main Results:

  • Developed an alphabet app featuring haptic feedback and gamified rewards for handwriting practice.
  • Animations and demonstrations effectively linked typographic and handwritten letters.
  • User and teacher feedback informed iterative design improvements for inclusivity and engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Co-design and cooperative inquiry are effective for creating quality educational apps for children.
  • The developed app successfully integrates interactive elements to support early literacy and handwriting.
  • Further research and development are needed to establish best practices for children's digital learning tools.
