The Pedagogical Competence Skills of Biology Teacher Candidates

The research on "Pedagogical Competence Skills of Biology Teacher Candidates" aims to identify the pedagogical competence profile of biology teacher candidates in biology learning to prepare them in this 21st century. The results of the research are used as: 1) suggestion for stakeholders to improve pedagogical competence of biology teacher candidates, 2) reflection of learning in the department of Biology Education, and 3) recommendation for further research in the development and empowerment of prospective teachers, especially biology teacher. To achieve these goals, this research uses qualitative research method with quantitative descriptive analysis. The data collection instruments are: 1) pedagogical self-evaluation questionnaire, 2) assessment sheets of learning device, 3) assessment sheets of teaching learning process, and 4) teachers’ self-confidence assessment sheets. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that the category of pedagogical ability of the students of biology teacher candidates in the assessment is very good (= 3.77 scale 4). Meanwhile, the category of the self-evaluation assessment of prospective biology teacher students is good (= 3.87 scale 5). However, the category of the use of ICT-based learning media is enough (= 2.2 scale 5).

INFLUENCE OF FAILURE-FREE OPERATION LEVEL ON COSTS RELATED TO PRODUCTION AND GUARANTEE SERVICE OF INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS

Basis of market of national consumption is presently formed by non-redundant products. Reliability of these devices is wholly determined by the level of failure-free operation of their constituents. With the industrial products of the non-domestic use redundancy both in the repaired and non-repaired equipment is used on different levels: redundancy at the level of components, blocks and units on the whole, and also at the level of elements (deep fractional redundancy).To make a forecast on the share of products that fail during operation, one can know the probability of failure-free operation of the product for a certain time. The article gives the indicator of the probability of failure-free operation of the product – a quantifiable estimated value, which is calculated as the ratio of the undisclosed number of products to their total number. The graph characterizing the changes in the probability of failure-free operation of the products is given. It is assumed that the probability of failure-free operation of articles varies exponentially. The construction of an economic model based on the category of fail-safe products is considered. This model is built taking into account the condition that the product guarantees issued by the manufacturer should be correlated with the number of possible failures of the products during this time. The conclusion is made that the product reliability category is the only category of risk assessment of the manufacturer on the market when issuing guarantees for its products. The assumption is made that the price of improving the reliability can be different and depends on many circumstances, but always increase of the product reliability is associated with an increase of its cost. The problem is solved, due to the fact that some of the products supplied by the manufacturer to the market will fail. Thus, it is necessary to know the proportion of failed products, which is determined by the quality of manufacture and reliability of the product put in the process of its design and production. The graph of the dependence of the total costs for the production and operation of innovative products on the probability of their trouble-free operation is given. The main advantages of the proposed economic model are formulated.

Acupuncture for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

BackgroundChronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common condition affecting men of all ages. Acupuncture may be an effective treatment option for CP/CPPS, but evidence is limited. We propose to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in a rigorously conducted trial.MethodsTen hospitals will recruit 440 participants with CP/CPPS in China from October 2017 to December 2019. Participants will be randomly allocated to acupuncture or sham acupuncture with a 1:1 ratio using computerized simple random sampling. The whole study consists of 2-week baseline, 8-week treatment, and 24-week follow up. Twenty 30-mintute sessions of acupuncture or sham acupuncture treatment will be provided between week 1 and 8. The two co-primary outcomes are the proportion of responders at week 8 and week 32. Secondary outcomes include proportion of responders in the two groups at different time points; change in the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) total score; change in the NIH-CPSI subscales; change in the International Prostate Symptom Score; change in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; expectation assessments; proportions of participants in each response category of the Global Response Assessment; change in the International Index of Erectile Function 5; change in the five-level EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire and a visual analogue scale; and changes in peak and average urinary flow rate.DiscussionThis study will provide robust evidence on whether acupuncture is effective for relieving symptoms of CP/CPPS.Trials registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03213938.

Accuracy of oncologist assessments of psychiatric problems in cancer inpatients-ERRATUM.

Objective: Our objective was to examine the accuracy of non-psychiatrist assessments of psychiatric problems in cancer patients. Method: We conducted a retrospective chart review of cancer patients who were admitted and referred to the consultation–liaison (C–L) team between January of 2011 and December of 2012. The agreement between non-psychiatrist assessments and final diagnoses by attending C–L psychiatrists was estimated for every category of referral assessment using codes from the International Classification of Mental and Behavioral Disorders (10th revision). The data were obtained from the consultation records of 240 cancer inpatients who were referred to the C–L service at a tertiary care center in Tokyo. Results: The agreement ratio between referring oncologists and psychiatrists differed according to the evaluation categories. The degrees of agreement for the categories of “delirious,” “depressive,” “dyssomnia,” “anxious,” “demented,” “psychotic,” and “other” were 0.87, 0.43, 0.51, 0.50, 0.27, 0.55, and 0.57, respectively. The agreement for all patients was 0.65. Significant differences were observed among seven categories (chi-squared value = 42.454 at p < 0.001 and df = 6). The analysis of means for proportions showed that the degree of agreement for the “delirious” category was significantly higher and that that for the “depressive” category was lower than that for all patients, while for the “demented” category it was close to the lower decision limit but barely significant. One half of the 20 cases who were referred as depressive were diagnosed with delirium, with one quarter of those having continuously impaired consciousness. Some 7 of the 11 cases who were referred as demented were diagnosed as having delirium. Significance of Results: The accuracy of non-psychiatrist assessments for psychiatric problems in cancer patients differs by presumed diagnosis. Oncologists should consider unrecognized delirium in cancer inpatients who appear depressed or demented.

MANAJEMEN RISIKO KESELAMATAN DAN KESEHATAN KERJA (K3) PADA PROYEK PEMBANGUNAN JAMBULUWUK HOTEL &amp; RESORT PETITENGET

Abstract: Work accidents that occur on the construction project will be one of the causes of the disruption or cessation of activities of the project work. The construction sector is the highest contributor to work accidents and occupational illness in Bali. Rampant construction of temporary lodging facilities or hotels in Bali can be one of the contributors to accidents. This study aims to determine the potential hazard and any dominant risk contained in a hotel development process as well as provides preventive measures to reduce such risks. In this research, the method used was descriptive qualitative. The risk of Occupational Health and Safety (K3) was identified through JSA (Job Safety Analysis). Questionnaire survey was carried out to get feedback from the experts regarding the potential hazards identified. The dominant category of risk assessment that was rated by the concept of ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable). The research identified 45 of dominant risks contained in the phase of work structures including 43 risks classified as high risk such as : exposed to maneuver heavy equipment and vehicles, heavy equipment rolled because the excavated area slid down/ subsided, cross rope of Tower Crane disconnected / entangled on the operation, the charge fell from Tower Crane and as many as two risks were classified as very high risk (extreme risk) that is : exposed to maneuver mixer and swing Tower Crane over the edge area of the project. The risks tended to be sourced in the work environment factors and work equipment. In order to minimize the impact of K3 risks, it is necessary to conduct risk control, evaluation activities in a daily, weekly, monthly periodic, considering a safe distance hazard source from workers, setting working hours, scenario procedures of an emergency, as well as safe work through work instruction to remind the importance of working in a healthy and safe condition.

Oncology EDGE Task Force on Prostate Cancer Outcomes: A Systematic Review of Outcome Measures for Functional Mobility

Background: The medical treatment of prostate cancer results in multiple impairments in body structure and declines functional abilities, resulting in activity limitations and participation restrictions. Measurement of functional mobility is an essential outcome measure in survivorship care. Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review is to make recommendations of the best measurement tools to assess functional mobility in men treated for prostate cancer based on psychometric properties and clinical utility. Methods: Multiple electronic databases were searched from February to March 2014. Studies of tools used to assess functional mobility were included if they met the following criteria: reported psychometric properties, were clinically feasible methods, and were published in the English language. Each outcome measure was reviewed independently and rated by 2 reviewers separately. A single Cancer EDGE (Evaluation Database to Guide Effectiveness) Task Force Outcome Measure Rating Form was completed for each category of functional mobility assessment, and a recommendation was made using the 4-point Cancer EDGE Task Force Rating Scale. Results: Of the original 38 373 articles found, 87 were included in this review. Conclusion: Seven tests are highly recommended by the Oncology EDGE Task Force, 2-Minute Walk Test and 6-Minute Walk Test, 10-Meter Timed Walk, Timed Up and Go, 5 times sit to stand, based on good clinical utility and psychometric properties.

A methodology for applying students' interactive task performance scores from a multimedia-based performance assessment in a Bayesian Network

Computer-based simulations are increasingly being used in educational assessment. In most cases, the simulation-based assessment (SBA) is used for formative assessment, which can be defined as assessment for learning, but as research on the topic continues to grow, possibilities for summative assessment, which can be defined as assessment of learning, are also emerging. The current study contributes to research on the latter category of assessment. In this article, we present a methodology for scoring the interactive and complex behavior of students in a specific type of SBA, namely, a Multimedia-based Performance Assessment (MBPA), which is used for a summative assessment purpose. The MBPA is used to assess the knowledge, skills, and abilities of confined space guard (CSG) students. A CSG supervises operations that are carried out in a confined space (e.g., a tank or silo). We address two specific challenges in this article: the evidence identification challenge (i.e., scoring interactive task performance), and the evidence accumulation challenge (i.e., accumulating scores in a psychometric model). Using expert ratings on the essence and difficulty of actions in the MBPA, we answer the first challenge by demonstrating that interactive task performance in MBPA can be scored. Furthermore, we answer the second challenge by recoding the expert ratings in conditional probability tables that can be used in a Bayesian Network (a psychometric model for reasoning under uncertainty and complexity). Finally, we validate and illustrate the presented methodology through the analysis of the response data of 57 confined space guard students who performed in the MBPA.

Oncology Section EDGE Task Force on Prostate Cancer Outcomes: A Systematic Review of Clinical Measures of Strength and Muscular Endurance

Background: Strength deficits are a common morbidity following treatment for prostate cancer. Accurate assessment of strength and muscular endurance following prostate cancer treatments is essential to identify deficits and plan rehabilitation. Purpose: To identify strength and muscular endurance outcome measures that possess strong psychometric properties and are clinically useful for examination of men treated for prostate cancer. Methods: Multiple electronic databases were searched for articles published after 1995. Studies of tools used to assess strength and muscular endurance were included if they reported psychometric properties, were clinically feasible methods, performed on adults, and published in the English language. Each outcome measure was independently reviewed and rated by two reviewers. A single Cancer EDGE Task Force Outcome Measure Rating Form was completed for each category of strength or endurance assessment, and a recommendation was made using the 4-point Cancer EDGE Task Force Rating Scale. Results: Of the original 683 articles found, 30 were included in this review. Hand-grip strength and hand-held dynamometry were rated 3, recommended for clinical use. One repetition maximum was rated 2A, unable to recommend at this time but the measure has been used in research on individuals with prostate cancer. Manual muscle testing was rated 2B, unable to recommend at this time due to lack of psychometric support, and muscular endurance testing was not recommended (1). Conclusions: Utilizing objective dynamometry for hand grip and muscle strength testing provides precise measurement to assess baseline status and monitor change among men treated for prostate cancer.

Understanding the Lived Experience of People with Multiple Sclerosis and Dysexecutive Syndrome

Introduction: While evidence suggests that people with multiple sclerosis experience executive function impairment, there is a lack of understanding as to what this means for people within their occupational lives. This study attempted to explore the meanings constructed by individual participants who live with multiple sclerosis and dysexecutive syndrome on a daily basis. Method: Ten community-dwelling adults, diagnosed with clinically definite/probable multiple sclerosis and having performed within the ‘Impaired’ category of the Behavioural Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome, were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Findings: The reported changes in the occupational lives of the participants contributed to significant alterations in the roles they inhabited. There was a substantial cost to personal identity as the participants withdrew from former roles or perceived themselves to be failing within their existing roles, leading to a loss of self-worth and self-esteem. Conclusion: It is evident from the findings of this study that the actual cognitive deficits did not represent the main issue for people within their everyday lives; rather, the putative consequences of executive dysfunction were of much greater concern for them.

Peer assessment of aviation performance: inconsistent for good reasons.

Research into expertise is relatively common in cognitive science concerning expertise existing across many domains. However, much less research has examined how experts within the same domain assess the performance of their peer experts. We report the results of a modified think-aloud study conducted with 18 pilots (6 first officers, 6 captains, and 6 flight examiners). Pairs of same-ranked pilots were asked to rate the performance of a captain flying in a critical pre-recorded simulator scenario. Findings reveal (a) considerable variance within performance categories, (b) differences in the process used as evidence in support of a performance rating, (c) different numbers and types of facts (cues) identified, and (d) differences in how specific performance events affect choice of performance category and gravity of performance assessment. Such variance is consistent with low inter-rater reliability. Because raters exhibited good, albeit imprecise, reasons and facts, a fuzzy mathematical model of performance rating was developed. The model provides good agreement with observed variations.

Elastography in predicting preterm delivery in asymptomatic, low-risk women: a prospective observational study.

BackgroundDespite the efforts to decrease the rate of preterm birth, preterm delivery is still the main cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Identifying patients threatened with preterm delivery remains one of the main obstetric challenges. The aim of this study was to estimate the potential value of elastographic evaluation of internal cervical os stiffness at 18-22 weeks of pregnancy in low risk, asymptomatic women in the prediction of spontaneous preterm delivery.MethodsThis prospective observational study included 333 low-risk, asymptomatic women presenting for the routine second trimester ultrasound scan according to the Polish Gynecological Society recommendation between 18-22 weeks of pregnancy. Ultrasound examinations of the cervix were performed transvaginally. The following data were recorded: elastographic color assessment of the internal os and ultrasound cervical length at 18-22 and 30 weeks of pregnancy; maternal age; obstetrical history; presence of cervical funneling at 30 weeks of pregnancy; gestational age at birth. Elastographic assessment of the internal os was performed using a color map: red (soft), yellow (medium soft), blue (medium hard) and purple (hard). If two colors were visible in the region of the internal os, the softer option was noted. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistica software (version 10, Statsoft Poland) using the following tests: chi square test to compare frequency of preterm deliveries in various categories of internal os assessment and Spearman correlation test to determine the correlation between elastographic assessment and cervical shortening. To determine the cut off category of internal os elastography assessment in selecting high preterm delivery risk patients we have calculated the sensivity, specifity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value.ResultsThe number of preterm deliveries (<37 weeks of pregnancy) was significantly higher in the red and yellow groups, than in the blue and purple groups. The sensivity, specifity, NPV and PPV for both red and yellow internal os assessment in predicting preterm delivery were 85.7%, 97.6%, 98.3% and 81.1% respectively.ConclusionsElastographic assessment of the internal cervical os at 18-22 weeks of pregnancy may identify patients with high risk of preterm delivery in low-risk, asymptomatic women.

Assessment of ligand binding site predictions in CASP10

The identification of amino acid residues in proteins involved in binding small molecule ligands is an important step for their functional characterization, as the function of a protein often depends on specific interactions with other molecules. The accuracy of computational methods aiming to predict such binding residues was evaluated within the "function prediction (prediction of binding sites, FN)" category of the critical assessment of protein structure prediction (CASP) experiment. In the last edition of the experiment (CASP10), 17 research groups participated in this category, and their predictions were evaluated on 13 prediction targets containing biologically relevant ligands. The results of this experiment indicate that several methods achieved an overall good performance, showing the usefulness of such methods in predicting ligand binding residues. As in previous years, methods based on a homology transfer approach were dominating. In comparison to CASP9, a larger fraction of the top predictors are automated servers. However, due to the small number of targets and the characteristics of the prediction format, the differences observed among the first ten methods were not statistically significant and it was also not possible to analyze differences in accuracy for different ligand types or overall structure, difficulty. To overcome these limitations and to allow for a more detailed evaluation, in future editions of CASP, methods in the FN category will no longer be evaluated on the "normal" CASP targets, but assessed continuously by CAMEO (continuous automated model evaluation) based on weekly prereleased sequences from the PDB.

Breast Cancer EDGE Task Force Outcomes: Clinical Measures of Strength and Muscular Endurance: A Systematic Review

Background: Muscular strength deficits are a common morbidity following treatment for breast cancer. Accurate assessment of strength and muscular endurance following breast cancer treatments is essential in identifying deficits and planning rehabilitation strategies. Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to identify strength and muscular endurance outcome measures for use with women treated for breast cancer that possess strong psychometric properties and are clinically useful. Methods: Multiple electronic databases were searched between February and June 2013. Included studies of tools used to assess strength and muscular endurance met the following criteria: reported psychometric properties, clinically feasible methods, adults (preferably female), and published in the English language. Each outcome measure was reviewed independently and rated by two reviewers separately. A single Cancer EDGE Task Force Outcome Measure Rating Form was completed for each category of strength or endurance assessment, and a recommendation was made using the 4-point Breast Cancer EDGE Task Force Rating Scale. Results: Of the original 874 articles found, 22 were included in this review. Hand Grip Strength and Hand Held Dynamometry were rated 3, recommended for clinical use. Manual muscle test and one repetition maximum were rated 2B, unable to recommend at this time. Muscular endurance testing was rated 2A, unable to recommend at this time. Conclusions: Utilizing objective dynamometry for hand grip and muscle strength testing provides precise measurement to assess baseline status and monitor change among women treated for breast cancer.

Alternative assessment in physical education: a review of international literature

Assessment is one of the most fraught and troublesome issues physical educators have had to deal with over the past 40 years or so. In light of the challenges this situation presents, in this paper we provide an overview of the international literature on assessment in school physical education. We give an account of both traditional and alternative forms of assessment, focusing in particular on recent approaches that may be considered belong to the latter category of assessment. We found that traditional assessment instruments such as Physical Fitness Tests and subjective assessment criteria such as grading students' effort and clothing have been popular approaches to assessment. We also found alternative assessment approaches now in use that have a stronger educational focus. Thus, while we consider that this overview of research studies provides evidence of genuine progress in an area that has been fraught with difficulties for physical education as an educational endeavour, there is work to be done to disseminate what we understand to be good assessment practices. In closing, we briefly note some further challenges for research on assessment in physical education.

FunFOLDQA: A Quality Assessment Tool for Protein-Ligand Binding Site Residue Predictions

The estimation of prediction quality is important because without quality measures, it is difficult to determine the usefulness of a prediction. Currently, methods for ligand binding site residue predictions are assessed in the function prediction category of the biennial Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP) experiment, utilizing the Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) and Binding-site Distance Test (BDT) metrics. However, the assessment of ligand binding site predictions using such metrics requires the availability of solved structures with bound ligands. Thus, we have developed a ligand binding site quality assessment tool, FunFOLDQA, which utilizes protein feature analysis to predict ligand binding site quality prior to the experimental solution of the protein structures and their ligand interactions. The FunFOLDQA feature scores were combined using: simple linear combinations, multiple linear regression and a neural network. The neural network produced significantly better results for correlations to both the MCC and BDT scores, according to Kendall’s τ, Spearman’s ρ and Pearson’s r correlation coefficients, when tested on both the CASP8 and CASP9 datasets. The neural network also produced the largest Area Under the Curve score (AUC) when Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) analysis was undertaken for the CASP8 dataset. Furthermore, the FunFOLDQA algorithm incorporating the neural network, is shown to add value to FunFOLD, when both methods are employed in combination. This results in a statistically significant improvement over all of the best server methods, the FunFOLD method (6.43%), and one of the top manual groups (FN293) tested on the CASP8 dataset. The FunFOLDQA method was also found to be competitive with the top server methods when tested on the CASP9 dataset. To the best of our knowledge, FunFOLDQA is the first attempt to develop a method that can be used to assess ligand binding site prediction quality, in the absence of experimental data.

Refinement of protein structure homology models via long, all‐atom molecular dynamics simulations

Accurate computational prediction of protein structure represents a longstanding challenge in molecular biology and structure-based drug design. Although homology modeling techniques are widely used to produce low-resolution models, refining these models to high resolution has proven difficult. With long enough simulations and sufficiently accurate force fields, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations should in principle allow such refinement, but efforts to refine homology models using MD have for the most part yielded disappointing results. It has thus far been unclear whether MD-based refinement is limited primarily by accessible simulation timescales, force field accuracy, or both. Here, we examine MD as a technique for homology model refinement using all-atom simulations, each at least 100 μs long-more than 100 times longer than previous refinement simulations-and a physics-based force field that was recently shown to successfully fold a structurally diverse set of fast-folding proteins. In MD simulations of 24 proteins chosen from the refinement category of recent Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) experiments, we find that in most cases, simulations initiated from homology models drift away from the native structure. Comparison with simulations initiated from the native structure suggests that force field accuracy is the primary factor limiting MD-based refinement. This problem can be mitigated to some extent by restricting sampling to the neighborhood of the initial model, leading to structural improvement that, while limited, is roughly comparable to the leading alternative methods.

Examining Student Satisfaction Of Online Statistics Courses

This survey research of 55 participants was completed at a private university to determine students’ satisfaction of statistic online courses. The study explored the students’ satisfaction of course components: online statistics, online instruction, communication, assessment, and overall student satisfaction. The findings showed a positive satisfaction with overall means between 3.66 and 4.00 in a 5 point Likert-scale with a 5 meaning strong agreement with satisfaction of the course. The highest area of satisfaction was the category of assessment (M= 4.00) and the lowest area was the category of student overall satisfaction (M= 3.66). In addition, the study examined age, gender, teaching experience, and overall satisfaction of the course with the overall average of satisfaction.
