▷ The Social Cognitive Theory #SCT applied to reduce sedentarism in citizens


➡️ #SCT #SocialCognitiveTheory #Sedentarism

Sedentarism is a growing concern in today's society due to its negative effects on health and well-being. However, the Social Cognitive Theory offers a solution to reduce it through a series of strategies based on human behavior.

  • ➡️ According to this theory, human behavior is influenced by social perception, that is, how we perceive others and how they perceive us. In the case of sedentarism, one way to reduce it is through the creation of a social culture that values and promotes physical activity.
  • ➡️ One way to achieve this is through education and awareness about sedentarism, physical activity, nutrition, quality of life, among other health-related aspects. Creating awareness campaigns about the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle can help influence social perception and motivate people to change their sedentary behavior.
  • ➡️ Another strategy is the creation of programs and physical activities that are accessible and attractive to the population. For example, community walks or races, yoga or dance classes, among other activities can be organized. These initiatives allow people to participate in physical activities in groups, which can be more motivating and socially rewarding.
  • ➡️ In addition, it is important to highlight the influence of media and social networks on social perception and motivation to change sedentary behaviors. Promoting an active and healthy lifestyle in media and social networks can help create a culture in which physical activity is seen as important and valued.
In conclusion, the Social Cognitive Theory offers a series of effective strategies to reduce sedentarism in the population. The creation of a social culture that values physical activity, education and awareness about the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle, creation of accessible and attractive physical programs and activities, and the influence of media and social networks are all key factors in reducing sedentarism and promoting a healthier lifestyle.

    ▷ Display of last 24 hours of Temperature, Humidity and Temp. CPU

      For this post, two sensors have been deployed for real-time data collection, currently operational in the city of Guayaquil: one for humidity and another for temperature. Both sensors utilize LoRA technology to transmit collected information to a Gateway. This Gateway serves as a central connection point, receiving data from the sensors and forwarding it to the Google Cloud platform via LTE cellular connectivity. Leaflet viewer with OpenStreetMap Leaflet viewer with OpenStreetMap Once the data is stored on the Google Cloud platform, a customized web interface has been developed. This interface facilitates the visualization and analysis of the sensor-collected data, offering users a clear and easily accessible representation. In today's interconnected world, the ability to gather and visualize real-time data is essential for understanding and making informed decisions. On this occasion, we will explore how to visualize the data from the last 24 h

    ▷ What is the MQTT protocol?

    ➡️  #MQTT #IoT #SensorNetwork The  #MQTT  (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol is a lightweight communication protocol designed to facilitate communication between IoT (Internet of Things) devices. It was developed in 1999 by Andy Stanford-Clark and Arlen Nipper and has become one of the most widely used protocols in the IoT world. ➡️ How does MQTT work? MQTT works with a publish/subscribe model, in which devices connect to a centralized broker or server and send and receive messages. The protocol uses an asynchronous communication model, which means that devices can send messages at any time, without needing an immediate response. In addition, MQTT uses a "topics" model, which allows devices to publish and subscribe to messages related to a specific topic. For example, a device could publish messages related to the "temperature" topic, while another device could subscribe to that same topic to receive the messages. ➡️ What are the advantages of MQTT? MQTT
