The choice of a secondary school is influenced by several factors, for example the profil of the institution. In previous researches children with better family backgrounds prefer the „unique” (classes with an increased number of lessons, bilingual training or schools with non-state maintainer) institutions (Hegedűs, 2016; Garami, 2020). In our paper, we analyse the database called „Learning and teaching German in Hajdú-Bihar and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg counties (2018–2019)”, with data of 890 students, who learned German and/or English in the 11th grade of secondary grammar or technical school in this school year. From this database, we examine the data of eight institutions of four maintainers (466 students) in SPSS program with crosstabs- and ANOVA-analysis with the following variables: maintainer of the secondary school, family background of the students and characters of secondary school choice. According to our results, the secondary school choice and learning foreign languages can characterised with consideration for practicum, further learning’s plan and the usefulness on the labour market. The students chose the analysed institutions mostly because of the high level of the teaching, the simplicity of all-days going to town and the simple higher educational admission.

Nonideal Justice, Fairness, and Affirmative Action


 I defend affirmative action on the ground that it increases certain people’s ability to exercise their basic liberties, rather than because it rectifies injustice in the narrow context of educational admission procedures. I present this justification using a Rawlsian contractualist framework to forge a “nonideal principle of justice.” Drawing on social science, I argue that this principle supports affirmative-action policies like those in the contemporary U.S., and blocks the objection that such policies are unfair. In closing, I show how my account can be used to refine some features of contemporary affirmative-action policies, and I reflect more generally on the value of nonideal principles of justice for tackling exigent topics.

MON-622 Rapid Improvement in Glycated Albumin Before Educational Admission Predicts Fair Glycemic Control One Year After the Discharge of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Background and Aim: Glycated albumin (GA) reflects a short-term glycemic control (about 2 weeks) in comparison to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) which reflects a long-term glycemic control. Thus, if the dietary, exercise, or medication therapy before the educational admission is effective, a rapid improvement in GA can be observed. However, the impact of the improvement in GA on the subsequent glycemic control is not well understood. This retrospective study analyzed the association between the change of GA before educational admission and glycemic control one year after the discharge of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Method: We analyzed data from 114 T2DM patients who were admitted to our hospital from 2011 to 2016. The GA data within 30 days before admission and on the day of admission were available for all patients. The change of GA per day (ΔGA/day) was calculated as [(GA on admission) - (GA before admission)/number of days between the two measurements of GA]. Patients with renal dysfunction (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) or insulin deficiency [fasting C-peptide (CPR) < 0.5 ng/mL or two-hour postprandial CPR < 1.0 ng/mL] were excluded. Patients achieving an HbA1c of < 7.0 % at one year after discharge were defined as achievers, and the rest were defined as non-achievers. Multiple baseline factors including the ΔGA/day between the two groups were compared. Results: Of the 114 patients, 68 were achievers and 46 were non-achievers. GA significantly declined during before and just after the admission to hospital (median [interquartile range]: 26.0 [22.2 - 32.7] to 25.0 [21.4 - 29.8] %, p < 0.001). The range of the ΔGA/day was between -1.14 and 0.28, with a median value of -0.08 [-0.26 - 0.002]. The age, body mass index, and HbA1c levels at admission were not significantly different between the two groups. The increase in CPR after the glucagon loading test was higher in the achievers than in the non-achievers (1.85 [1.32 - 2.87] vs 1.21 [0.53 - 1.92] ng/ml, p = 0.004). The ΔGA/day was lower in the achievers than in the non-achievers (-0.14 [-0.39 - -0.006] vs -0.04 [-0.13 - 0.03], p = 0.002). A logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the ΔGA/day was the factor associated with achieving an HbA1c of < 7.0% at one year after discharge (Odds ratio: 0.037, 95 % confidence interval: 0.004 - 0.267, p < 0.001). In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the ΔGA/day had an area under the curve of 0.67 in the achievement group and the cutoff value was set as -0.146 for predicting the achievement, with a sensitivity of 0.50 and a specificity of 0.85.Conclusion: Our results suggest that the change in GA before the educational admission can predict the glycemic control one year after the discharge of T2DM patients.

Applying organizational justice theory to admission into higher education: Admission from a student perspective

AbstractApplicant perceptions of methods used in admission procedures to higher education were investigated using organizational justice theory. Applicants to a psychology study program completed a questionnaire about several admission methods. General favorability, ratings on justice dimensions, relationships between general favorability and these dimensions, and differences in perceptions based on gender and on the aim of the admission procedure (selection or matching) were studied. In addition, the relationship between favorability and test performance, and the relationship between favorability and behavioral outcomes were investigated. Applicants rated interviews and trial‐studying tests most favorably. Contrary to expectations based on the existing literature, high school grades were perceived least favorably and there was no relationship between applicant perceptions and enrollment decisions. In line with previous research in the employment literature, general favorability was most strongly related to face validity, study‐relatedness, applicant differentiation, the chance to show skills, perceived scientific evidence, and perceived wide‐spread use. We found no differences in applicant perceptions based on gender and small differences based on the aim of admission procedures. These results extend the applicant perceptions literature to educational admission and the results are useful for administrators when choosing methods to admit students.

Gender Differences in Competitiveness: Evidence from Educational Admission Reforms

Abstract This paper studies whether increased competition has adverse consequences for students’ intrinsic motivation by studying an upper secondary admission reform in Norway. While earlier students were enrolled into their neighboring school, the new system introduces school choice, where admission is based on performance in lower secondary school. Using a difference-in-differences approach, we find that whereas the motivation for boys seems to be unaffected by the increased competition, there are adverse consequences on the motivation for girls.

Usefulness of glycated albumin for early detection of deterioration of glycemic control state after discharge from educational admission

Glycated albumin (GA) reflects shorter term glycemic control state than HbA1c. This study evaluated whether GA is useful for early detection of deterioration of glycemic control state after discharge from educational admission. Among the patients with educational admission, this study included 21 diabetic patients who were followed for at least 10 weeks after discharge from educational admission. Deterioration was defined that GA after discharge increased by ≥0.6% compared to the previous GA. Thirteen patients without deterioration up to 10 weeks after discharge were used as controls. In 8 patients with deterioration within 10 weeks after discharge, their HbA1c and GA at the time of admission and the decrease in HbA1c and GA during hospitalization were not significantly different from the control patients. At the time of deterioration, GA in the patients with deterioration increased significantly from 18.7 ± 2.7% to 21.0 ± 2.5%, whereas HbA1c decreased significantly from 9.1 ± 0.7% to 8.3 ± 0.6%. Subsequently, HbA1c increased significantly to 9.0 ± 0.8% together with GA. Thus, GA is useful for early detection of deterioration of glycemic control state after discharge from educational admission.

Social selection and professional regulation for Master’s degrees for nurses

This paper is a report of a study to understand the perspectives of two sets of stakeholders, namely clinical nursing providers and nursing academics, on how registered nurses should be selected for Master's degree programmes. The proliferation of taught Master's programmes has led to concerns about a lowering of standards. Even with the expansion of professional Master's programmes, they remain one of the least researched areas of higher education. The sampling strategy was a combination of convenience and snowball sampling. In-depth interviews were conducted in 2006-07 with 15 stakeholders and data were subjected to thematic content analysis. There were differences in service providers' and academics' perceptions of access to Master's level education for nurses. Service providers engaged in regulatory practices, as evidenced in the way in which potential candidates were judged to be suitable or not to undertake a Master's-level education. Academic participants, in contrast, tended to have far fewer concerns about the career plans of applicants and were more likely to invoke discourses of academic educational admission practices. The health services need highly skilled, educated workers whose abilities and knowledge make an impact on the provision of effective patient and client care. This level of education can be achieved through continuing education of the professions by taught Master's degrees. It is imperative that an effective partnerships between clinical service providers and academics are developed to promote understanding of their respective perceptions of admission to the degree.

Rapid overgrowth of a fetus after interruption of insulin therapy in a diabetic woman

We experienced a case of fetal overgrowth probably due to maternal hyperglycemia following the interruption of insulin therapy in a woman with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), probably undiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. A 27-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our center because of GDM at 15 weeks of gestation. During the course of her educational admission, diet control and insulin therapy resulted in favorable blood sugar levels and she was discharged at 17 weeks of gestation. During these periods, fetal growth remained below average at between −1 and −1.5 S.D. After a check-up in the 29th week, she failed to appear for any further appointments. After the onset of labor, at 38 weeks of gestation, she suddenly consulted her former physician who delivered a baby weighing 4852 g by cesarean section on the 38th week. A noteworthy point in this case is the growth curve of the fetus. Even if rapid overgrowth is assumed, starting after the time of interruption of insulin at 30 weeks of gestation, fetal weight gain appears to be about 400 g per week, suggesting a weight increase at twice the normal rate. This case prompted us to keep in mind that rigid glycemic control will prevent the development of fetal macrosomia in diabetic pregnant women.

Socio-demographic characteristics of Israeli student nurses

This study analysed the socio-demographic characteristics of 444 students admitted to 15 of the 16 schools for registered nurses in Israel in 1967. Findings were compared with a similar project carried out with 252 students in nine schools in 1965 to learn if the introduction of the higher educational admission criteria (from 11 to 12 years) in 1966 influenced the composition of the student population. Major findings were: 1. a. A. marked increase in the number of applicants and admissions. 2. b. Mean age rose from 18·23 to 18·84 years. 3. c. Married and male students each made up about 3 per cent of the population. 4. d. The per cent of students of Asian-African origin grew from 9·9 per cent to 17·7 per cent. 5. e. Over half of the students were born in Israel, one-fifth immigrated to Israel within the past ten years. 6. f. Twelve years of education increased from 41 per cent to 95 per cent; full matriculation from 10·7 per cent to 43·1 per cent. 7. g. One-quarter of the students came from rural settlements (which have 11 per cent of the total population). 8. h. Over half of the 1967 students were eligible for army service. The main conclusion was that the higher educational criteria had a salutary effect on the recruitment of candidates with desirable qualifications in 1967. Several areas were suggested for further study.
