“…Many interventions on healthy eating and exercise, weight management, smoking prevention, medication adherence, or road safety have been developed and tested elsewhere in the world, particularly in the West. 11–16 However, they need to be assessed in Gulf States for their effectiveness and applicability. Experimentation with interventions also enables local researchers to adapt the interventions and make them culturally appropriate and acceptable to the Arabs.…”

Behavioral trials in the Arab Gulf States: A scoping review

The leading chronic conditions in Arab Gulf States are modifiable by lifestyle change. Available evidence suggests a paucity of experimental studies on these conditions. We aimed to review the published randomized controlled trials on behavioral modification in the Arab Gulf States. Three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane) were searched for related keywords, and the records were screened for eligible studies; data were abstracted on trial characteristics (e.g. publication year, study population, primary outcome, intervention, control, follow-up, and outcome results), and a quality assessment of the trials was made. A total of 16 trials were eligible; 50% did not provide sample size calculation, and 31% did not designate a primary outcome. A majority of the trials did not explain randomization or allocation concealment (50%), did not blind outcome assessors (69%) or adopt an intention-to-treat analysis (56%); and 82% of trials found a significant intervention effect. More behavioral trials should be conducted overall and specifically for conditions for which there are no trials (e.g. respiratory tract infection and road injury).

“…Future work will need to examine and model older drivers' lane keeping and speed regulation in the face of hazardous driving situations. Further educational and training programs based on the findings of this study could be developed to enhance post-stroke older drivers' behaviour behind the wheel; for example, neuropsychological training to improve post-stroke older drivers' executive function [37]; and driving intervention training to improve lane keeping performance [38] at challenging driving sections.…”

Investigating On-Road Lane Maintenance and Speed Regulation in Post-Stroke Driving: A Pilot Case–Control Study

et al. 2021

Stroke can adversely affect the coordination and judgement of drivers due to executive dysfunction, which is relatively common in the post-stroke population but often undetected. Quantitatively examining vehicle control performance in post-stroke driving becomes essential to inspect whether and where post-stroke older drivers are risky. To date, it is unclear as to which indicators, such as lane keeping or speed control, can differentiate the driving performance of post-stroke older drivers from that of normal (neurotypical) older drivers. By employing a case–control design using advanced vehicle movement tracking and analysis technology, this pilot study aimed to compare the variations in driving trajectory, lane keeping and speed control between the two groups of older drivers using spatial and statistical techniques. The results showed that the mean standard deviation of lane deviation (SDLD) in post-stroke participants was higher than that of normal participants in complex driving tasks (U-turn and left turn) but almost the same in simple driving tasks (straight line sections). No statistically significant differences were found in the speed control performance. The findings indicate that, although older drivers can still drive as they need to after a stroke, the decline in cognitive abilities still imposes a higher cognitive workload and more effort for post-stroke older drivers. Future studies can investigate post-stroke adults’ driving behaviour at more challenging driving scenarios or design driving intervention programs to improve their executive function in driving.

“…Research from the past ten years focuses on learning driving skills using a simulator has included a health perspective for conditions such as stroke, sleep deprivation, motoric challenges, and age (McKay et al, 2011;Sawula et al, 2018), transferability to real-life driving (Gemou, 2013), or training related to dark or eco-driving (Jamson et al, 2015;Saetren et al, 2019b). However, there have been few studies about using driving simulators for standard learner driving (Saetren et al, 2019b), and there is a conspicuous gap from pedagogical, driving instructor, and student perspectives.…”

Supplemental Instruction is a program designed to support students in their learning process. The program consists of advanced students supervising new students, where the purpose is to improve students' performance and reduce the risk of interruption of studies. Supplemental Instruction was established almost 50 years ago and is used today in universities around the world. This book is about the role, use and place of digital technologies in supplemental Instruction, which includes why we need Supplemental Instruction, teacher’s integration of technology experience with lecture capture and more. The book is aimed at anyone who is concerned about study quality in higher education. The contributors are researchers and lecturers at various universities from several countries. This book is the first of a trilogy on Supplemental Instruction, where the themes for the other books are " Student Learning Processes" and “Organization and Leadership”. The editors of the trilogy are Abbas Strømmen-Bakhtiar, Roger Helde and Elisabeth Suzen, all three Associate Professors at Nord University, Norway.
