Evaluation of Objective Structured Clinical Examination-assessed competence and perceived confidence in oral surgery among final-year undergraduate student.

This study aimed to evaluate dental students' competencies and self-confidence in performing common oral surgical procedures. It further aimed to assess potential correlations among levels of competence and confidence with student gender. Final-year undergraduate students from Mosul Dental School in Iraq were enrolled in a summative Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) to assess their competence in core skills and knowledge in oral surgery (OS). The students were also invited to participate in the ABAOMS self-assessment questionnaire to assess self-perceived confidence in performing OS procedures. Gender correlation with competence and confidence was computed via the Pearson Chi-square test (p ≤ 0.05). A total of 272 students were evaluated for OS competence. Students' highest competence was in dental anatomy (91.1%), while history-taking and tooth extraction scored the highest failure levels (56.1%) and (39.1%), respectively. For self-confidence, students felt adequately prepared to carry out several clinical procedures although they indicated low confidence in performing minimally practiced procedures. No significant correlation was detected in the total confidence versus competence except for the management of post-extraction complications. Results also showed no significant correlation between students' competence-confidence-gender; except for the administration of local anesthesia among females (p-value 0.007 ≤0.01). The findings of this study show that the competence and self-perceived confidence of final-year students were generally satisfactory for a range of clinical and affective skills. However, several areas of weakness were identified which underscore the need for modification of the current curriculum to improve the preparedness of undergraduate dental students as safe beginners in OS.

Bridging the Gap: Implementing an Adjunct Faculty as a Remediation Specialist in a Physician Assistant/Associate Program.

Creating a successful remediation plan for physician assistant/associate students comes with its challenges, particularly because of the limited time available for both faculty and students. In an accelerated 24-month program, the pace of the curriculum leaves little time to fall behind in mastering knowledge and skills. One possible solution is appointing an adjunct faculty member to serve as a dedicated Remediation Specialist (RS) to focus solely on student remediation. The RS reviews assessments of failing students and develops a review session based on shared areas of weakness among them. This session is promptly offered postassessment to ensure timely review. While required for failing students, the session is open to all didactic students. In addition, students complete a remediation assignment of their choice. Implementation of a RS demonstrated positive program outcomes. Students requiring remediation receive re-education in areas of deficiency within the curriculum. Furthermore, the time burden is shifted away from the core faculty. Students are remediated in targeted areas. Dedicated remediation specialists are commonly used in health profession education programs. The utilization of these specialists often results in higher examination pass rates, licensure pass rates, and improved clinical skills. While some programs select a candidate training in education and pedagogy, our program's RS is a trained physician assistant/associate and able to provide discipline-specific support.

Engineered Prompts in ChatGPT for Educational Assessment in Software Engineering and Computer Science

AI Assess, a ChatGPT-based assessment system utilizing the ChatGPT platform by OpenAI, composed of four components, is proposed herein. The components are tested on the GPT model to determine to what extent they can grade various exam questions based on learning outcomes, generate relevant practice problems to improve content retention, identify student knowledge gaps, and provide instantaneous feedback to students. The assessment system has been explored using software engineering and computer science courses and is successful through testing and evaluation. AI Assess has demonstrated the ability to generate practice problems based on syllabus information and learning outcomes. The components have been shown to identify weak areas for students. Finally, it has been shown to provide different levels of feedback. The combined set of components, if incorporated into a complete software system and implemented in classrooms with proposed transparency mechanisms, has vast potential to reduce instructor workload, improve student understanding, and enhance the learning experience. The potential for GPT-powered chatbots in educational assessments is vast and must be embraced by the education sector.

Mechanism of Crack Development and Strength Deterioration in Controlled Low-Strength Material in Dry Environment

The continuous expansion at the urban scale has produced a lot of construction waste, which has created increasingly serious problems in the environmental, social, and economic realms. Reuse of this waste can address these problems and is critical for sustainable development. In recent years, construction waste has been extensively recycled and transformed into highly sustainable construction materials called controlled low-strength materials (CLSMs) in backfilling projects, pile foundation treatment, roadbed cushion layers, and other applications. However, CLSMs often experience shrinkage and cracking due to water loss influenced by climatic temperature factors, which can pose safety and stability risks in various infrastructures. The purpose of this paper was to study the mechanism of crack formation and strength degradation in a CLSM in a dry environment and to analyze the deterioration process of the CLSM at the macro- and micro-scales by using image analysis techniques and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The test results show that with the drying time, the CLSM samples had different degrees of cracks and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) decreases, and increasing the content of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) reduced the number of cracks. The addition of bentonite with the same OPC content also slowed down the crack development and reduced the loss of UCS. The development of macroscopic cracks and UCS is caused by the microscopic scale, and the weak areas are formed due to water loss in dry environments and the decomposition of gel products, and the integrity of the microstructure is weakened, which is manifested as strength deterioration. This research provides a novel methodology for the reuse of construction waste, thereby offering a novel trajectory for the sustainable progression of construction projects.

Interpretability of fingerprint presentation attack detection systems: a look at the “representativeness” of samples against never-seen-before attacks

Nowadays, fingerprint Presentation Attack Detection systems (PADs) are primarily based on deep learning architectures subjected to massive training. However, their performance decreases to never-seen-before attacks. With the goal of contributing to explaining this issue, we hypothesized that this limited ability to generalize is due to the lack of "representativeness" of the samples available for the PAD training. "Representativeness" is treated here from a geometrical perspective: the spread of samples into the feature space, especially near the decision boundaries. In particular, we explored the possibility of adopting three-dimensionality reduction methods to make the problem affordable through visual inspection. These methods enable visual inspection and interpretation by projecting data into two-dimensional spaces, facilitating the identification of weak areas in the decision regions estimated after the training phase. Our analysis delineates the benefits and drawbacks of each dimensionality reduction method and leads us to make substantial recommendations in the crucial phase of the training design.

Level measurement, regional variations, and the dynamic evolution of active aging in China-analysis based on CHARLS tracking data.

Given the world's largest and increasingly serious aging population, China has elevated "positively responding to aging of population" to a national strategy. Exploring the current state and evolutionary trends of active aging over the past decade is a fundamental prerequisite and the primary task for implementing this strategy. Based on data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011-2018), this study primarily employs methods such as the entropy method, Gini coefficient, Moran index, and Kernel density estimation to analyze the development level, regional differences, and dynamic evolution of active aging in China. (1) From a general point of view, the overall level of active aging in China has not been high in the past decade, but has shown a rising trend year by year. Older Chinese people exhibit high levels of physical and mental health, but social participation and economic status remain areas of weakness in active aging. (2) Inter-regional differences are the main source of the overall differences in the level of active aging in China. (3) There is a spatial clustering of the active aging level in China, along with a neighborhood effect. (4) The bifurcation phenomenon of active aging in China has intensified over time. While the eastern region exhibits uneven development, the central and western regions have generally had more balanced growth. To improve the level of active aging among older adult individuals in China, policymakers should continuously optimize policies and pay more attention to the economic status and social participation of the older adult. Local governments should not only fully leverage their regional advantages but also interact with other regions to achieve cross-regional joint development.

Modal and Wave Propagation Analysis of Vibration Tests on a Laboratory Building Model Before and After Damage

Weakened structural stiffness is often a consequence of building damage, particularly after severe events such as earthquakes, where compromised structural performance can pose significant risks. To prevent immediate structural failure, an early warning system is essential, which requires inspection of local components. This research aims to achieve that by exploring the wave propagation analysis method, specifically seismic interferometry. Previous studies have applied this method to building structures, treating them as homogeneous layers of grouped floors. By analyzing the wave travel time along the height of these layers, the fundamental period of the building was estimated. However, this approach did not account for local damage or the variability of structural components, similar to the limitations of vibration‐based damage detection methods, which mainly identify global changes. Thus, the goal of this paper is to improve structural health monitoring by examining the sensitivity of wave screening, bridging the gap between nondestructive testing and vibration‐based damage detection. A half‐scale, seven‐story building model, characterized by vertical stiffness irregularity and transverse plan asymmetry, was tested in a laboratory setting. Two vertical sensor arrays were placed near corner columns of different sizes, representing both strong and weak structural areas. These arrays recorded floor accelerations in three directions. The study confirmed the effectiveness of wave propagation analysis for detecting damage along the sensor arrays before and after the earthquake. A transmissibility damage indicator was used to correlate changes in wave velocity, providing a quantitative assessment of damage levels along the wave propagation path.

Perceived Preparedness for the Clinical Practice Among Medical Interns: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Measurement of medical graduates' perception of their internship program can help to improve the program to guarantee the general satisfaction of medical interns and enhance their clinical training. To evaluate the medical interns' perceived preparedness for clinical practice and investigate the contributing elements. The study was carried out to include 109 medical interns. Assessment preparedness for hospital practice questionnaire in Hospitals was used. For clinical practice, the vast majority of participants (81.7%) were either fully or very well prepared. However, no statistically significant relationship was observed between the intern characteristics and preparedness level. It was found that the interns were not well prepared regarding handling emergencies, dealing with dying patients (44%), inserting an intravenous line (35.8%), conducting a digital-rectal examination (31.2%), as well as speaking with the social worker about the patient (29%). Males scored significantly higher than females regarding the interpersonal domain. The results revealed that most interns were adequately trained for their clinical experiences. More emphasis on training in emergencies, catheterization, insertion of intravenous lines, and dealing with dying patients is required, in addition to continuous assessment of the interns after each clinical rotation to discover the areas of weakness.

FINANCIAL STABILITY IN THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF ENTERPRISES: SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND FORMALIZATION OF ASSESSMENTS IN THE CONDITIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The idea of sustainable development entails the modernization of the financial mechanism and the development of financial activity models in the context of ensuring their stability at various levels of economic management. Financial stability refers to the state of financial resources where assets and liabilities are balanced in a fluctuating internal and external environment, maintaining financial solvency and appealing to investors, all while operating within a manageable risk threshold. The analysis of such indicators allows for assessing the enterprise's readiness to meet its debts, financial independence, and efficient management of own and borrowed funds.The aim of this article is to explore theoretical and methodological approaches and methods of systemic analysis of the financial stability of enterprises under conditions of sustainable development. The theoretical foundations and methodological approaches to systemic analysis of financial stability were studied. The financial stability analysis of enterprises was conducted using a methodology for calculating the coverage of assets by their financing sources. The proposed financial stability calculation algorithm utilizes a balance model of financial equilibrium and involves computing a three-component indicator to determine the optimal coverage levels for financing sources using both absolute and relative metrics. This method enables the identification of weak areas within a company, which can serve as potential reserves for enhancing its financial standing. Analytical indicators that form part of the systemic financial stability analysis include the financial independence ratio (autonomy), the financial dependency ratio (equity multiplier), the loan capital concentration ratio, the financial risk ratio, the financial stability ratio, the long-term debt ratio, and the equity mobility ratio. The calculation of the proposed analytical indicators for assessing financial stability across enterprises of various organizational and legal forms and business sizes demonstrated the universality and broad applicability of this systemic analysis methodology.

Identifying the determinants of biorefineries location in a core-periphery polarised Europe

PurposeThe challenge posed by the new European bioeconomy strategy in support of green transition goals is significant and raises serious questions regarding its sustainability, from socio-economic, territorial and ecological perspectives. Such a strategy is indeed being implemented in a Europe divided between economically strong and weak areas and where regional divergences within countries have increased nearly everywhere. Considering this polarised context, the present paper investigates the determinants of biorefinery presence in Europe, adopting a core-periphery perspective.Design/methodology/approachSpatial analysis is employed to identify core and periphery regions at the NUTS2 level, and econometric estimates show that the factors determining biorefinery implementation differ between these regions.FindingsIn the core regions, socio-economic factors (e.g. higher income, education and social acceptability) are most significant, while in the periphery, agricultural and territorial determinants play a more prominent role. However, the differences between regions are mitigated when the sample is narrowed to focus on biorefineries with the greatest technological readiness.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, the determinants of biorefineries' presence in a territory is an under-explored topic. Moreover, the existence of core-periphery dynamics even within bio-based activities raises important questions and policy implications in ecological transition processes in Europe.

A cross-sectional study of paramedic management of out-of-hospital obstetric emergencies

Background/Aims Most birth-related ambulance calls occur without difficulty, but in some cases, complications can arise. Paramedics’ involvement in birth is infrequent; therefore, the knowledge and skills required to manage complications can atrophy over time, particularly without educational interventions. This may impact outcomes. The study's aims were to measure the knowledge, attitude, and practice of paramedics in managing obstetric cases. Methods This cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was carried out with 264 paramedics. Spearman's measure of correlation was used to observe linear correlations between ranks of the observations. Results The majority of participants were advanced care paramedics (81.1%). Participants reported infrequently attending births in the community, with under half feeling confident in managing these (44%). Antenatal complications and trauma in pregnancy were self-reported areas of weakness; this was consistent with assessed knowledge. Conclusions Paramedics self-reported infrequently responding to obstetric calls and the majority lacked confidence in managing these. Few indicated an excellent level of obstetric knowledge, reporting a desire to receive more education in this area. Implications for practice When paramedics lack confidence in managing obstetric emergencies, it can lead to delayed decision making, inadequate assessment, increased error rates and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Design and Failure Analysis of a Vacuum Pressure Vessel for Aerospace Applications using Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

This paper provides detailed insights into the external pressure vessels. External pressure vessels are designed to perform under extreme operating conditions, so the selection of material and geometry along with stress analysis are fundamental for their optimal efficiency. The objective of this research is to provide a case study of the material, design, and stress generated in the pressure vessel to make it suitable for thermal and load-bearing applications in the aerospace industry. An aluminum alloy was chosen as the design material due to its low density and high strength. The modeling geometry of the alloy was constructed using the ASME section-VIII division-I div code. After the performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA), modeling was carried out deploying the ANSYS design modeler to obtain the stress concentration and failure mode of the model. The present study demonstrates the behavior of a structure under applied load and identifies the weak areas of its geometry. Based on the external stress at the center of the structure, the maximum and minimum stresses computed are 0.763 MPa and 0.00803 MPa, respectively. It was also found that the maximum strain is generated at the center of the structure and is equal to 1.0834e-6 mm/mm, the maximum deformation is equal to 0.00109 mm and also occurred at the center, while the shells of the model are unable to undergo any deformation. FEA results agree with the analytical results, as the errors for hoop stress and equivalent strain are 4.8% and 1.8%, respectively. Thus, the proposed method can be applied to predict the equivalent stress, equivalent strain, total deformation, and stress intensity, which are required for the structural integrity analysis of pressure vessels.

Study on the Microstructural and Proficiencies of Heat‐Affected Zone in High‐Slope Mountainous Welded Pipeline Steels

The failure rate of pipelines in mountainous areas is much higher than that in other service areas. To ensure the efficiency and quality of the project, automatic welding has become a development trend. The heat‐affected zone (HAZ) as a weak area, to a large extent, reflects the quality of welded joints. Herein, the microstructure and mechanical properties of HAZ on both sides of welded joints under a 30° large slope are characterized by high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, electron backscattered diffraction, and Charpy impact. The results show that the properties of HAZ are affected by many strengthening mechanisms such as grain refinement, solid solution, dislocation, and precipitation, among which grain refinement plays a leading role. The slope will affect the NbC phase size and grain size, resulting in differences in HAZ properties on both sides. The grain size of each microzone in the lower side HAZ is coarsened compared to the higher side, and the dislocation density is lower, leading to a decrease in hardness and impact toughness, thus becoming the weakest region in the welded joint. Therefore, for welding under the condition of slope, attention must be paid to the influence of slope on the performance of welded joints.

Study of the Gearbox Meshing Coupling Vibration Law Based on Mechanical Signal and Frequency Signal

In this study, the failure of a certain type of gearbox of a high-speed locomotive group with cracks is examined, and a gearbox failure assessment method that considers the coupled vibration is established and combined with mechanical signal and frequency signal to determine the basis for judging the failure of a faulty gearbox. First, according to the mechanical model of the finite element calculation, we determined the stress weak links and then the layout response stress measurement points and acceleration measurement points. We then calculated the gearbox ratio, meshing frequency, vibration frequency, mechanical response, modal response, and other frequency characteristics using the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) method and the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm to analyze the vibration signals generated by different speeds and wheel out-of-roundness conditions. These were used to calculate the frequency of the different vibration sources of the mechanical response on the weak areas. The frequency correlations of the different vibration sources on the mechanical response in the weak areas were then analyzed, and the vibration transmission law of the gearbox case was obtained. The fault determination criterion was then determined, and the final cause of the fault was obtained.

Fabrication of Uniform Porous Anodic Aluminum Oxide by Anodizing Aluminum in Trisodium Phosphate with Higher pH Values

Anodizing of aluminum is an electrochemical process of surface oxidation to form an alumina layer. Porous anodic aluminum oxide (PAAO) possessing self-organized nanopores can be obtained by anodizing aluminum in several acidic electrolyte solutions, and it has been widely used to develop emerging applications, such as nano-filters and optical devices. Recently, we found that anodizing in several alkaline solutions caused the formation of PAAOs with unique nanostructures such as an extremely high porosity and ultra-flat barrier layer. However, the anodizing process in alkaline solutions with higher pH values produced a slightly non-uniform film due to the active dissolution environment of alumina. Herein, we report the fabrication of uniform PAAO film by anodizing aluminum in alkaline solutions and their unique nanostructures.High-purity aluminum specimens were electropolished in 78 vol% CH3COOH/ 22 vol% - 70% HClO4. The electropolished specimens, then, were anodized in a 0.3 M trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4) solution at 274 K (pH = 13.1) and a constant voltage of 2-100 V. A platinum plate was used as the cathode, and the aluminum specimen was placed parallel to and 22 mm from the platinum plate. We investigated the effect of various operating conditions on the formation of PAAO film. The growth behavior and internal structure of anodized specimens were examined by optical microscopy (OM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM).Figure 1a shows the OM images of the aluminum specimen anodized in a 0.3 M Na3PO4 solution at 274 K and a constant voltage of 20 V for 60 min with and without stirring the solution. A non-uniform appearance with both weak white and metallic luster areas was obtained on the specimen anodized with stirring, whereas a uniform metallic luster can be observed without stirring. The SEM images of four different surface positions (2 mm intervals) of each anodized specimen are shown in Figure 1b. In the case of the stirring condition, the surface of PAAO on the left was dissolved due to the high pH value of the Na3PO4 solution and higher dissolution rate caused by stirring. On the other hand, a uniform PAAO film possessing similar nanoscale pores was successfully fabricated by suppressing non-uniform dissolution without stirring. The PAAO film grew by anodizing in the Na3PO4 solution at extremely low applied voltages less than 10 V. Figure 1

Bridging the Gap: Technical and Management Competencies of BSHM Graduates in the Philippine Context

The advancement of the hospitality industry demands competent, well-educated, and highly trained staff for success in a competitive labor market. This study aimed to determine the work readiness of Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM) students by evaluating their technical and management skills and identifying factors affecting skill development. A mixed-method approach was used with 105 randomly selected BSHM-graduating students. Students’ self-assessed technical skills were measured using a survey questionnaire, while actual technical skills in housekeeping and food/beverage services were assessed via demonstration tests. Management skills were evaluated using a teacher-developed scale. An open-ended questionnaire gathered qualitative data on the factors affecting skill development from 30 participants. The results showed that the students assessed themselves as competent in housekeeping and food/beverage services. However, the actual assessment revealed competence in housekeeping, but only moderate competence in food/beverage services. Management skills, particularly in analyzing hotel reports and situational analysis, were found to be low. The factors affecting skill development included personal factors (lack of self-confidence, poor study focus), interpersonal factors, teachers’ expertise, internship experiences, laboratory exposure, and socioeconomic conditions. The findings suggest a need for continuous post-graduate training and development in specializations, implementation of comprehensive programs to enhance technical and essential skills, and addressing factors hindering skill development to better prepare graduates for industry demands. Recommendations include improving practical exposure, focused training in weaker areas, and enhancing teachers’ expertise through professional development.

#FamilyisLove: understanding extreme life experiences and psychological profile of pre-service teachers in the Philippines.

Despite the focus of studies in other countries that emphasize the significant impact of household and school experiences on child development, in the Philippines, the few studies available tend to focus on the prevalence of suicide cases, bullying, and other school experiences that impact mental health. No explicit studies relate demographic information, relationships and past experiences, personality variables, and household treatment among Filipino students with regard to their own mental wellbeing. Thus, with the primary aim of describing the psychological profile of second-year pre-service teachers taking Bachelor of Technical Vocational Teacher Education for the academic year 2019-20 and to identify possible interventions and propose policy recommendations to promote mental healthcare, wellbeing, and resilience, the Basic Personality Inventory (BPI) results and focus group discussion interview texts were utilized for this investigation. The explanatory sequential mixed methods research was employed to undertake a study of student participants (n = 91) aged 18-35 years (X¯ = 19.9 years, SD = 2.00) using descriptive statistical tools for quantitative data derived from BPI results and textual/thematic analysis (visual and content) for qualitative data. The dominant personality variables reported as areas of weakness were thinking disorder, persecutory ideas, deviation, and self-depreciation. On the other hand, the identified areas of strength were cooperativeness, capacity for self-criticism, cheerfulness, and socially responsible attitudes. Finally, familial relationships/household treatment and previous experiences at home and in school contributed to the respondents' strengths and weaknesses. For this reason, various mental health-related intervention activities, policies, and programs are recommended.
