Establishment of Training System to Cope with Mental Health and Social Issues in Disaster Recovery Public Housing After the Great East Japan Earthquake

This study aimed to establish a training system for non-mental health professionals to cope with the mental health and social issues of impacted residents in disaster recovery public housing after more than 10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE). In September 2021, a group interview was conducted with seven life support advisors (LSAs) in charge of providing continuous support for impacted residents. These advisors possess a good understanding of the situation of impacted residents in disaster recovery public housing. Isolation emerged as an apparent issue, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak in which interactions among residents were reduced. Then, a training program for coping with isolation, as well as other issues identified through the interviews, such as delusions, troublesome behaviors, alcohol-related issues, wandering, suicidal ideation, and social withdrawal, was developed. For infection prevention and ease of obtaining training opportunities, this program was distributed online. Eleven participants were trained to use the developed program and were subsequently asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire. Results showed a considerable increase in the participants’ comprehension in addressing the impacted residents’ mental health issues. Although further investigation is warranted given that the representativeness and validity of our findings are somewhat limited, this study revealed the current situation of impacted residents in disaster recovery public housing following the GEJE. It also established a mental health training system for non-mental health professionals that addresses the identified issues. The developed training system for advisors would contribute to preparedness and risk reduction for future disasters.

The Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based VR Training System With Haptic Guidance for Catheterization Skill Transfer

With growing demands in endovascular intervention, priority is expected to be given to the catheter manipulation skill training. For novices, it is inevitable to face the dilemma that progress is achieved slowly when they practice repeatedly. Thus, exploring underlying behavior patterns from experts’ demonstrations and transferring manipulation skills to novice are of significance when designing catheterization training systems. To address such issues, a deep reinforcement learning-based VR training system has been presented, which aims to exploit expert’s experience-related skills to correct novices’ actions via the 2-DOF haptic guidance. The training system mainly consists of three parts: a force sensors’ integrated catheter manipulator, a VR simulator, and a learning-based model. As experience-related skills are encoded as the correlation between operator–tool and tool–tissue interactions, the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG), one of deep reinforcement learning algorithms, is adopted so that expert’s skills can be extracted as the optimal policy model by learning from the catheterization demonstrations. Based on such learning model, the catheter manipulator can provide the intuitive haptic guidance to online correct novices’ catheterization maneuvers both in translational and rotational directions. To evaluate the skill improvement, a five-day training session has been carried out and the results reveal that prominent progress has been made with respect to safety operation and task proficiency. Moreover, substantial evidences support the finding that the newly developed training system is qualified to transfer experience-related skills from expert to novice because trainees are capable of making wise decisions independently without any haptic cues after training sessions.

Training to Improve the Landing of an Uninjured Leg in Crutch Walk Using AR Technology to Present an Obstacle

A patient who unexpectedly sustains a lower leg injury often uses crutches for walking, to both assist the patient and prevent further injury until a full recovery is made. In this study, a novel crutch walk training system was developed; a head-mounted display (HMD) was introduced to present a virtual obstacle for trainees using crutches. Through repetitions of the training, it was expected that the trainees would improve their overall body stability. Healthy subjects participated in experimental training exercises using the developed training system. As a result, the participants acquired the skill of walking well with crutches without losing their body balance significantly, even in the event of facing a virtual obstacle, during the five training sessions.

Classification of Diabetic Walking for Senior Citizens and Personal Home Training System Using Single RGB Camera through Machine Learning

Senior citizens have increased plasma glucose and a higher risk of diabetes-related complications than young people. However, it is difficult to diagnose and manage elderly diabetics because there is no clear symptom according to current diagnostic criteria. They also dislike the invasive blood sample test. This study aimed to classify a difference in gait and physical fitness characteristics between senior citizens with and without diabetes for a non-invasive method and propose a machine-learning-based personal home-training system for training abnormal gait motions by oneself. We used a dataset for classification with 200 over 65-year-old elders who walked a flat and straight 15 m route in 3 different walking speed conditions using an inertial measurement unit and physical fitness test. Then, questionnaires for participants were included to identify life patterns. Through results, it was found that there were abnormalities in gait and physical fitness characteristics related to balance ability and walking speed. Using a single RGB camera, the developed training system for improving abnormalities enabled us to correct the exercise posture and speed in real-time. It was discussed that there are risks and errors in the training system based on human pose estimation for future works.

Вдосконалення методу моделювання потоку повітряних суден за рахунок імплементації моделі генерації його випадкових елементів

The article presents the approach to improve the aircraft flow modelling method for the intelligent training system «ATC of Tower», developed by the Department of Information Technologies of the Flight Academy of the National Aviation University. The improvement concerns the aspect of automatic random data generation for the «Aircraft» class, which is the important and integral part of this system. The presence of the mechanism for generating random data in relation to aircraft with different flight performance characteristics in the stream makes it possible to supplement the system with dynamic and stochastic components. This approach ensures the variability of the air situation in the area of responsibility of the air traffic controller of the aerodrome control tower (Tower ATCO), as close as possible to real conditions, and also makes it possible to work out a qualitatively larger number of technological operations when servicing the air traffic. The approach is based on the algorithmic generator of pseudo-random numbers and logical functions. This generator randomly identifies an airline company, a type of aircraft with specific performance characteristics, which performs flight on a random route. The listed parameters are input data for the class forming the aircraft queue in the developed training system. They make it possible to recreate the situation in the area of responsibility of the air traffic controller of the aerodrome control tower and check the adequacy of the trainee reference model. The proposed improvement makes it possible to implement a mechanism for the automatic formation of the exercises with various levels of complexity, bring an intellectual component into the system, thereby providing an individual training trajectory for the training subject as a result of the interaction between the system reference and current models

Multi-center investigation on personnel training and scientific research status of pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS) in mainland China based on the perspectives of PIVAS leaders.

We sought to analyze the current situation of personnel training and scientific research regarding pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS), to provide evidence-based medical knowledge to inform personnel training for PIVAS in mainland China.A cross-sectional survey was used to examine the current status of PIVAS personnel training, research capabilities, needs, and research output of PIVAS personnel based from the perspective of leaders in PIVAS in China. The survey period was from March to April 2019.A total of 137 hospitals in China participated in this survey. The main training content areas of PIVAS staff in each hospital were professional theoretical knowledge (100.00%, 137/137) and practical operation ability (98.54%, 135/137). The frequency of training was typically 1 to 2 times/month (56.9%, 78/137). The average duration of a single training session was typically 1 h or less (68.6%, 94/137). The most common forms of PIVAS training were lectures (94.89%, 130/137) and practical operations (79.56%, 109/137). A total of 51.8% (71/137) of PIVAS leaders believed that PIVAS personnel had a high degree of scientific research needs, but 61.3% (84/137) believed that few personnel had mastered scientific research methodology, and 41.6% (57/137) believed that the scientific research ability of personnel was relatively poor. Among PIVAS personnel, only 38.7% (53/137) had specialized scientific training. The annual total SCI output was 0 to 18 articles (median 0 articles) and the total number of national-level funding grants was 0 to 2 (median 0). There were no significant differences in the training of PIVAS personnel and scientific research between different provinces and hospital levels.The training content of PIVAS personnel in China was found to be relatively rich, but management tools, career development, and training in scientific research were found to be relatively weak, and the scientific research output was very low. It is necessary to build a comprehensive training system for career development among PIVAS personnel.

Theoretical foundations of human resource management in terms of innovative development

The problems of managing the labor market and the employment of the population are given considerable attention by scientists, economists, philosophers, and sociologists. Despite the versatility of research, the problems of human resource management and improving organizational and economic management mechanisms remain insufficiently developed. Only at the regional level of management can we find effective ways to solve the most acute problems of building high-quality labor potential and rational use of labor resources by developing various programs and coordinating the activities of the relevant services. The main discrepancy between the education system and the labor market comes from the lack of forecasting methods in the workforce and imperfections of the mechanisms of social partnership. This is due to the insufficient funding of educational institutions and lack of job security for graduates. In addition, the low level of education of the economically active population of the region, the insufficiently developed training system for innovative industries, the undeveloped employment system for graduates contributing to the imbalance in the labor market, i.e. with a general quantitative prevalence of labor supply over demand, the most important sectors of the economy were not provided with the required amount of qualified specialists. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological aspects of human resources management and labor potential, to develop proposals and recommendations for improving its organizational and economic mechanism.

A VR training system for learning and skills development for construction workers

There is a looming shortage of well-trained professionals in the wood construction workforce. To challenge this shortage, we developed a simulated learning environment that leverages a novel Virtual Reality (VR) system to train novice workers in wooden wall construction. A comprehensive task analysis was first used to best identify training requirements. Then, a virtual building site was modeled and a 3D video tutorial was implemented using a VR Head-Mounted Display (HMD). To evaluate the effectiveness of this tool, participants who learned via the VR training tool were compared with participants who instead only had simple 2-D instructional video training. VR training resulted in better retention, task performance, learning speed, and engagement than the video training counterpart, maintaining system usability. This demonstrates that VR is a viable training tool for the construction sector and can produce benefits beyond those of traditional video training.

Understanding the Factors and the Corresponding Interactions That Influence Construction Worker Safety Performance from a Competency-Model-Based Perspective: Evidence from Scaffolders in China.

Purpose: Construction workers’ reactions to safety-related issues during operation vary from person to person due to their different occupational levels, which can be attributed to various influencing factors and their correspondingly complicated interactions. This research aims to propose an integrated framework to combine the concepts of these factors and provide a holistic interpretation of the interrelationship among them. Methods: Based on items that were mainly extracted from competency theory, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to identify the critical factors from the data collected from 243 scaffolders on Wuhan Metro construction sites. The interactions among the identified factors were then analyzed, and the safety competency model was thus established with the use of structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: A total of 17 items were identified as critical to workers’ safety competency, and these were further tested and attributed to four factors: (1) individual character and inclination; (2) self-adjustment and adaptability; (3) working attitudes; (4) safety-related operation qualification. Subsequent analysis showed that all the factors significantly contributed to one’s safety competency, and individual character and inclination contributed most to the formation of one’s ability, while the intermediating effects of self-adjustment and adaptability should not be neglected both in theoretical and practical terms. The resultant safety competency model consisting of these four factors was revealed to share a hierarchical structure with the classical competency model. Significance: This study provided an integrated theoretical framework and a set of modeling approaches to combine the related concepts and facilitate a greater understanding of construction safety in terms of workers’ characteristics and behaviors. Practical implications: This study presented a tentative approach for assessing construction workers’ safety competency, as well as emphasized to the managers and professionals the necessity of developing training systems to ensure workers are integrated into a crew in an appropriate and smooth manner. Limitations and Future Work: The volume and the scope of samples impeded the study from achieving a more generalized result and a more cost-efficient data collection approach is in need of development for a comprehensive and in-depth investigation.

The paper presents a current problem of training the future primary school teachers – their ability to interact with parents. The study argues that the most effective training for future specialists is reached by the use of modern interactive forms of work and information and communication technologies (ICT) during lectures, seminars and workshops. During the complex study of this problem, an in-depth analysis of the works by domestic and foreign scholars was carried out. The represented student survey helped to evaluate the scope of knowledge about the issue and corroborated its relevance and objectives. The presented results of the survey of students of the IV course of the specialty «Primary education» at the Pedagogical Institute of the Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University provided an idea of the scope and depth of knowledge on the identified problem. During the research we outlined some necessary components promoting readiness for teacher – parent interaction, among them cognitive, emotional, psychological, praxeological components and rhetorical skills. The results of the developed training system with the use of various interactive forms of work and ICT tools are presented and its efficiency tested and proved. The pedagogical study was carried out in three stages – the recording, forming and control experiment. The effectiveness of the developed system is reflected in the comparative table, according to the data of the questionnaire of the control group in the control phase of the study. The presented data testify to the necessity of additional measures aimed at increasing the readiness of future teachers of elementary school for pedagogical interaction with parents through means of information and communication technologies. The results of the study demonstrate the need to increase the rhetorical skills and the praxis component of the readiness of future primary school teachers to work with their parents. To achieve this goal it is expedient to introduce the proposed system of work with students in the educational process of institutions of higher education.

Design and characteristics evaluation of a novel VR-based robot-assisted catheterization training system with force feedback for vascular interventional surgery

Vascular interventional surgery has been become a specialized surgical technique because it can minimize the trauma and shorten the recovery time, but it needs more accurate operation and image to guide the surgery. In the meantime, it needs that the doctor has a great deal of experience. Moreover, it needs to train the novice because of the lack of experienced neurosurgeons. In order to solve aforementioned problems, the training system for vascular interventional surgery was proposed. A novel VR-based robot-assisted catheterization training system is designed to solve these problems. This system is composed of the virtual environment and the haptic device. The virtual environment included a catheter model and a vascular model to realize the synchronous movement with the haptic device. In order to imitate soft tissue deformation, mass-spring model has been proposed in physical modeling. In this paper we established a dynamics equation of the moving catheter. We analyzed the elasticity distribution of the wall of vascular according to the previous research. The haptic interaction device based on magneto-rheological fluid as the master manipulator was applied to control the movement of the catheter model in the virtual environment and realize haptic feedback. At the same time, a force feedback calculation model for the novel master manipulator has been proposed. Ten times experiments both in axial movement direction and in radial movement respectively, are carried out, there was within 0.74 mm error in axial movement direction and 3.5° error in radial movement direction. When the moving speed of the catheter is 5 mm/s, the force error between the virtual environment and the feedback force of the damper is within 0.3 mN. The error is in the range which is permitted during VIS. The proposed method improved accurate operability and traceability in this novel VR robotic catheter training system. It offers users better visualization and control. The experimental results indicate that the performance of the synchronous movement and the force feedback can meet our design requirement. The developed training system can be used to train novice for VIS.
