Foundational and Clinical Science Integration in a Team-Based Learning Module Modeling Care of a Patient With Dyslipidemia.

Foundational and clinical science integration, a long-standing goal of undergraduate medical education, benefits learners by promoting retention of critical knowledge and skills as well as their transfer to the clinical setting. We implemented a team-based learning (TBL) module in which foundational knowledge and skills from the disciplines of biochemistry, nutrition, and genetics were leveraged in a simulated patient encounter for diagnosis and management of a patient with dyslipidemia. The TBL was deployed in a first-year medical student cardiovascular system course with 125 students over three academic years. Following individual and team readiness assurance tests (iRAT and tRAT, respectively), teams participated in an initial application exercise requiring consideration of clinical and laboratory data and other risk factors to engage the patient in a shared decision-making process. Using dietary and family history narratives in subsequent application exercises, teams completed recommendations for an individualized diet plan and an assessment of potential disease inheritance patterns to formulate appropriate patient care management strategies. Student engagement with prelearning materials and session team activities was high as judged by RAT performance and application exercise outcomes: iRAT question performance ranged from 89% to 99% for individual items, and tRAT performance was routinely 100%. Learners reported that the exercises were impactful and believed the learned foundational knowledge and skills were transferable to future patient care. The dyslipidemia TBL module provides an illustration for early clinical learners of how foundational knowledge and skills can be operationalized and transferred for optimal patient care.

Зарубежные эксперты о процессах внутриполитической трансформации в странах Латинской Америки в третьем десятилетии XXI века

The article’s introduction includes the main prerequisites for internal political transformation’s process in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The study’s purpose is to identify new trends in the largest countries’ domestic policies in the region in the third decade of the 21st century. The study’s materials are used mainly by Spanish-speaking authors and Spanish-speaking news agencies who most closely and fully know the situations in LAC countries, the objective data from reports of the various UN structures, and independent Englishspeaking researchers invited to Latin American universities. The article’s methodological basis was the scientific principle of objectivity, which it made possible from the available array of information to identify the main directions of transformation taking place in LAC countries in the study period. The systematic approach’s application made it possible to identify the main events in LAC countries that characterize the multi-vector transformation trends. The article’s author identified further perspectives for LAC countries development with the help of special historicalcomparative and historical-genetic methods. The study’s results were the author’s conclusions that the domestic policy of big Latin American countries in the third decade of the 21st century is characterized by a tendency of “catching up” development. There is a noted instability of the domestic political course in the political system of these Latin American countries (from a liberal to a conservative course and vice versa), and the economic models’ frequent change does not give the desired result. The social problems are caused by the main population’s poverty, especially the indigenous one, and these problems cannot be resolved due to transnational migration of the population and transnational crime (from drug trafficking to human trafficking and weapons). All this explains the diversity of the internal political transformation in Latin American countries.

Evaluating Students’ Acceptance Intention of Augmented Reality in Automation Systems Using the Technology Acceptance Model

This study aims to evaluate the factors influencing the acceptance of augmented reality among students within an automation system. The researchers of this study adopted the technology acceptance model (TAM) and gathered data to examine the path relationships among key variables: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioral intention to use, all of which impact system acceptance. A survey was administered to students to gauge their perspectives on integrating augmented reality into the automation system. The study sample consisted of 41 students enrolled in the automation system course where augmented reality was utilized in teaching. Utilizing the partial least square approach, the hypothesis model was analyzed. The results revealed a lack of significant correlation between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness in relation to augmented reality usage. However, perceived ease of use positively influences students’ behavioral intention to use, while perceived usefulness significantly affects behavioral intention to use through augmented reality. Notably, perceived usefulness exhibits a significant relationship with both behavioral intention to use and attitude toward use in the context of augmented reality usage. Moreover, perceived ease of use positively affects attitude toward use for students within the context of automation systems with augmented reality. Furthermore, no significant relationships were observed between attitude toward use and behavioral intention to use, nor between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness regarding augmented reality usage. This study offers valuable insights for educators in the field of engineering and technology who are engaged in training and sustainability development programs.

Diagnostic approaches and treatments of systemic sclerosis patient with interstitial lung disease

Background: Systemic sclerosis or scleroderma is a rare disease with multiple complications which may include interstitial lung disease. The findings of diffuse type of systemic sclerosis, moderate restriction in pulmonary function test, interstitial pneumonia in chest x-ray, and ground glass opacity in thoracic CT-scan establish the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease associated with systemic sclerosis. We present a case of interstitial lung disease in a systemic sclerosis case, which was approached and treated comprehensively to slow the progression. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old female was admitted to the rheumatology polyclinic of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya with persistent dry cough for two years in June 2021. The patient also complained of breathlessness, painful joints, swollen knees, and morning stiffness three months prior to admission. The positive results of antinuclear antibody and rheumatoid factor were identified in 2016, which suggested autoimmune disease of scleroderma and being treated with azathioprine 50 mg twice a day, methylprednisolone 4 mg once a day, chloroquine 200 mg once a day, and calcium lactate once a day. The examinations in 2020 showed moderate restriction from the pulmonary function test, bilateral lung parenchymal infiltrates from the chest x-ray, and ground-glass opacity from the chest computed tomography scan (CT-scan). The patient was monthly prescribed cyclophosphamide 500 mg intravenously for six months as the substitution of azathioprine, methylprednisolone 4 mg once a day, and aspirin 100 mg once a day. The latest worsening condition led the patient to receive the substitution of cyclophosphamide which was mycophenolate mofetil 360 mg twice a day, along with aspirin 100mg and methylprednisolone 4 mg once a day, respectively. Conclusion: As a rare disease, the complications of systemic sclerosis should be anticipated. In this case, interstitial lung disease occurred following nearly five years of systemic sclerosis course which required immunosuppressive agents to enhance the efficacy of treatment. Comprehensive treatment with tight monitoring is necessary to slow the disease progression.

Abstract TP63: Eliminate Delays: Utility of a Cross-Trained Nurse Responder Team in Acute Stroke

Background: Over the past year, it was noted that having two separate teams (Rapid Response (RRT) and Code Stroke) delayed the care of multiple stroke patients. Challenges encountered included: waiting for the Code Stroke Team to arrive, delays in essential stroke care metrics (door to needle, door to groin, & door to start of device), and waiting for Interventional Radiology (IR) personnel to begin IR procedures. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to determine if a cross-trained Nurse Responder Team would decrease the time to essential nursing stroke care interventions and wait times to neuro-interventional acute stroke treatment. Methods: Utilizing the Plan-Do-Check-Act quality improvement method, we cross-trained our Rapid Response Nurses to various types of emergency responses including Code Stroke. Thus, the evolution a Rapid Response Team to a Nurse Responder Team. Training consisted of on-line learning management system courses, preceptorship, and simulation training. Data was collected and analyzed at various times throughout the Code Stroke process. Time markers collected included: time RRT call was changed to Code Stroke, time the Stroke Team arrived, and time between when a Code Stroke patient arrived in IR without an available IR nurse to initial groin puncture. Results: Implementing a multiple code cross-trained Nurse Responder Team reduced the need to call another nursing response team to begin the Code Stroke process. This resulted in a decrease in treatment times, the number of patient hand-offs, wait times for IR endovascular procedures, door to needle time, door to groin time and door to start of device time. The median door to needle time before the nurse responder team was 90 minutes and after the nurse responder team the median was 52.5. The before median door to groin time was 104 minutes and after door to groin time was 91.3. The percentage of time, the door to start of device within 60 minutes for patients transferred from outside hospital or 90 minutes in presented directly, was increased from 16.7 to 53.8% with initiation of the Nurse Responder Team. Conclusions: A cross-trained Nurse Responder Team improved stroke quality indicators.

The Efficacy of the MOOC+SPOC Synchronous Learning Model in Vocational Education for Process Control Systems

Incorporating the Industrial Revolution into vocational education, particularly in enhancing curriculum and learning, encounters numerous obstacles. Utilizing technology in interactive learning is anticipated to actively involve learners and enhance their abilities in critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. This study emphasizes the limitations of traditional learning approaches in Process Control Systems and presents a novel framework of MOOC+SPOC Synchronous using a Research and Development (R&D) methodology. The Process Control System course encounters impediments that negatively impact the graduation rate, which is suboptimal. The merging of MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) and SPOC (Small Private Open Course) models into a synchronous MOOC+SPOC learning model seeks to enhance learning outcomes through the utilization of a cloud computing-based Virtual Remote Laboratory (VRLab). The outcome is a model that has been rigorously evaluated and proven effective through empirical research. The research data demonstrated this model's statistically significant positive effect on enhancing student learning outcomes. The Pre-Test and Post-Test results revealed that the experimental group experienced a notable improvement in learning outcomes, with an increase ranging from 10% to 46%. In comparison, the control group also exhibited increased learning outcomes, ranging from 5% to 39%. The statistical analysis reveals a consistent and significant growth in the Experimental group, indicating that students exhibit a favorable level of motivation throughout the learning process, as indicated by the average significance value exceeding 0.5. Based on the test findings acquired from this study, it can be concluded that the Synchronous MOOC+SPOC model is a viable alternative for addressing future difficulties in vocational education. This model is effective and has been proven to work.

Examination of Physical Education and Sports Courses in Educational Systems (Germany and Türkiye Example)

It is seen that education systems all over the world have basic sciences, arts and sports courses within each structure. The importance of sports classes is increasing day by day in today's world where sedentary lifestyle increases with the age of digitalization. Physical education and sports lessons are important in order to meet the exercise needs of children who have the ability but are not able to do professional sports. When we study the historical development of physical education and sports in Turkey, we can say that it is mostly influenced by the German education system and educators after the 1920s. German gymnasts worked as physical education and sports teachers in the Ministry of Education. In short, physical education and sports education and its curriculum in the Turkish education system have been influenced by the German education system for years. The aim of this study is to examine the physical education and sports courses in Turkish and German current education systems. As a result of the research, it is seen that although Turkish-German education systems are very different from each other, there is one or more weekly lessons per class in physical education and sports curricula. It is seen that the biggest difference is in primary education. The course carried out with the name of physical education and games in the primary schools in Turkey is carried out 5 hours a week in the grades 1-3 and 2 hours a week in the 4th grade. While the average class hour of 4 years is 17 in Turkey, this number is 11 hours in Germany.

Adaptive Intervention to Prevent Respiratory Illness in Cerebral Palsy: Protocol for a Feasibility Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study will pilot-test an innovative just-in-time adaptive intervention to reduce severe respiratory illness among children with severe cerebral palsy (CP). Our intervention program, Respiratory Exacerbation-Plans for Action and Care Transitions (RE-PACT), delivers timely customized action planning and rapid clinical response when hospitalization risk is elevated. This study aims to establish RE-PACT's feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity in up to 90 children with severe CP. An additional aim is to preliminarily estimate RE-PACT's effect size. The study will recruit up to 90 caregivers of children with severe CP aged 0 to 17 years who are cared for by a respiratory specialist or are receiving daily respiratory treatments. Participants will be recruited from pediatric complex care programs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive usual care through the complex care clinical program at UW or UCLA or the study intervention, RE-PACT. The intervention involves action planning, rapid clinical response to prevent and manage respiratory illness, and weekly SMS text messaging surveillance of caregiver confidence for their child to avoid hospitalization. RE-PACT will be run through 3 successively larger 6-month trial waves, allowing ongoing protocol refinement according to prespecified definitions of success for measures of feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity. The feasibility measures include recruitment and intervention time. The acceptability measures include recruitment and completion rates as well as intervention satisfaction. The fidelity measures include observed versus expected rates of intervention and data collection activities. The primary clinical outcome is a severe respiratory illness, defined as a respiratory diagnosis requiring hospitalization. The secondary clinical outcomes includehospital days and emergency department visits, systemic steroid courses, systemic antibiotic courses, and death from severe respiratory illness. The recruitment of the first wave began on April 27, 2022. To date, we have enrolled 30 (33%) out of 90 participants, as projected. The final wave of recruitment will end by October 31, 2023, and the final participant will complete the study by April 30, 2024. We will start analyzing the complete responses by April 30, 2024, and the publication of results is expected at the end of 2024. This pilot intervention, using adaptive just-in-time strategies, represents a novel approach to reducing the incidence of significant respiratory illness for children with severe CP. This protocol may be helpful to other researchers and health care providers caring for patients at high risk for acute severe illness exacerbations.

Implementation Of Android-Based Learning Media In System Courses Management Information

The Community Service Partner (PkM) is AMIK Depati Parbo Kerinci, where the problem that occurs is that the learning media used is still conventional, such as lecturers providing material and assignments orally and in writing. Apart from that, if the lecturer is unable to attend, the material and assignments are delegated to the teaching team, sometimes making students not understand the content of the material. This PkM activity aims to implement an Android-based e-task application in the Management Information Systems course, which is an online learning system used for Android-based student assignment applications. This system was created using the Android Studio programming language, and uses the Waterfall method with system development tools, namely Unified Modeling Language (UML). Apart from that, the current learning process still uses a one-way method, namely the source of knowledge only comes from lecturers, making students less independent in learning because nowadays there are quite a lot of learning media models, one of which is Android-based learning media. The result of this activity is increased student independence in the teaching and learning process because it uses learning media in the form of an Android-based e-task application so that there is innovation in learning to make students more enthusiastic, creative and active in learning both online and offline.

Approaches and Models for Teaching Digital Ethics in Information Systems Courses – A Review of the Literature

The value and importance of teaching Digital Ethics within Information Systems and ICT courses is widely recognized and stand-alone or integrated digital ethics units are broadly implemented across degree courses. However, how such courses should be taught and what content they should include is a little explored topic. Using a narrative literature review methodology, this paper reviews the pedagogical theories underpinning digital ethics courses discussed in the literature and outlines approaches that deploy standalone ethics units, integrated ethics teaching, and hybrid teaching approaches and the use of interdisciplinary models. The paper identifies the employment of, and emphasis given to various moral theories in digital ethics education. The paper then discusses how our findings relating to different pedagogical approaches, degree of integration of ethics teaching, the use of interdisciplinary models and use of moral theories—are related to each other. The discussion explores trends in approaches and models for teaching digital ethics highlighted in the review, and makes recommendations for further exploration and inquiry. It concludes that the effective teaching of digital ethics will likely involve a considered combination of approaches, models and techniques, which may also be tailored to the needs of different roles and industries.
