RESUMEN
In order to restrict the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, physical face-to-face learning sessions were switched to online learning mode. However, the effectiveness of online learning for a developing country such as Indonesia is constrained by its digital education readiness, especially financial support, infrastructure, culture, and skills. Therefore, this paper analyzes the effectiveness of online learning by progressive analysis of the gap between offline and online learning methods. The Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy-AHP) is applied to weigh the preferences of indicators set as criteria for measuring online learning efficacy. Meanwhile, Profile Matching is used to calculate the gap between both learning conditions during pre-and post-pandemic. The performance of fifty students at Faculty Economic and Social Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau (FESUIN) was used as a case study. This paper revealed that students' grade point average (GPA) was the highest weighted criterion for student learning performance. It is followed by electricity resources, signal quality, learning-supported devices, and internet quotes. Thus, the value gap distinguished the potential of the face-to-face learning mode compared to online learning. The analysis shows that offline learning is the more effective learning method for this case. © 2021 IEEE.
RESUMEN
In view of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, patient care, including that of psychiatric patients, is facing unprecedented challenges. Treatment strategies for mental illness include psychotherapy and psychopharmacological interventions. The latter are associated with a multitude of adverse drug reactions (ADR); however, they may currently represent the preferred treatment due to restrictions regarding patient care (i.e. social distancing). Direct contact to patients may have to be reduced in favor of telephone calls or video conferences, so that new techniques in diagnosing and treating patients have to be established to guarantee patient safety. Patients should be extensively informed about relevant ADRs and physicians should actively ask patients about the timely recognition of ADRs. The use of psychotropic drugs may lead to an increased risk of developing ADRs, which are considered to be particularly unfavorable if they occur simultaneously with an acute infection or may even lead to an increased risk of infection. These include respiratory depression, agranulocytosis, intoxication by inhibition of metabolizing enzymes and venous thromboembolism, each of which may be associated with potentially fatal consequences; however, physicians should simultaneously ensure adequate efficacy of treatment, since the ongoing crisis may lead to a worsening of preexisting mental illnesses and to a surge in first onset of psychiatric disorders.
