The circular economy futures in the making: Transformativity and object ontologies in food waste practices in Finnish households, supermarkets and biogas plants

This article examines how food waste practices in households, supermarkets and biogas plants contribute to enacting potential circular economy (CE) futures. The article is based on a multi-sited ethnography conducted in Finland during 2019–2021. The analysis focuses on the transformativity of practices, exploring how the CE as a societal transformation is made in hands-on practices at different sites. With the transformativity of practices, I refer to the future-in-the-making aspect of practices—that is, the capability of practices to change both the practices themselves and the materials entangled with and within the practices. I conceptualise three different dimensions of transformativity of practices (habitual, planned and experimental) that simultaneously enact both the ontologies of food waste and potential CE futures differently. The article argues that present practices are not projected towards only one potential CE future—but rather multiple potential CE futures—and that these futures are based partly on contradictory rationalities. I suggest that a focus on the different dimensions of the transformativity of practices and their rationalities enables practice-based research to better articulate how the changing goals of practices can shape different societal transformations and futures, such as the CE.

Putting the “learning” in “pre-learning”: effects of a self-directed study hall on skill acquisition in a simulation-based central line insertion course

BackgroundOpportunities to practice procedural skills in the clinical learning environment are decreasing, and faculty time to coach skills is limited, even in simulation-based training. Self-directed learning with hands-on practice early in a procedural skill course might help maximize the benefit of later faculty coaching and clinical experience. However, it may also lead to well-learned errors if learners lack critical guidance. The present study sought to investigate the effects of a hands-on, self-directed “study hall” for central line insertion among first-year residents.MethodsLearner cohorts before vs. after introduction of the study hall (n = 49) were compared on their pre- and post-test performance of key procedural behaviors that were comparable across cohorts, with all learners receiving traditional instructor-led training between tests.ResultsStudy hall participants spent a median of 116 min in hands-on practice (range 57–175). They scored higher at pre-test (44% vs. 27%, p = .00; Cohen’s d = 0.95) and at post-test (80% vs. 72%, p = .02; Cohen’s d = 0.69). A dose–response relationship was found, such that 2 h of study hall were roughly equivalent to the performance improvement seen with four clinical observations or supervised insertions of central lines.ConclusionsSelf-directed, hands-on “study hall” supported improved procedural skill learning in the context of limited faculty availability. Potential additional benefits make the approach worth further experimentation and evaluation.

Student survey after ten years of continuous blended teaching of echocardiography

ObjectiveTo analyse the impact of 10 years of blended echocardiography teaching. Methods and resultsA questionnaire was emailed to all medical doctors who graduated from the blended learning diploma in echocardiography developed by the University of Chile and taught by a team from Chile and Spain. One hundred and forty of the 210 students who graduated from the program between 2011 and 2020 completed the questionnaire: 53.57% were anaesthesiologists, and 26.42% were intensivists. More than 85% of respondents indicated that the online teaching met their expectations, and 70.2% indicated that the hands-on practice fulfilled the stated objectives. In a retrospective analysis using self-reported data, graduates reported that their use of transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography has increased from 24.29% to 40.71% and from 13.57% to 27.86%, repectively, after the programme compared to before the programme. They used echocardiography mainly in the perioperative period (56.7%) and during intensive care (32.3%), while only 11% of respondents used it in emergency care units. Nearly all (92.4%) respondents reported that the skills learned was very useful in their professional practice. ConclusionsTen years after its launch, the blended learning diploma in echocardiography was well rated by graduate specialists, and is associated with a significant increase in the use of echocardiography in the perioperative period and during intensive care. The main challenges are to establish a longer period of practice and achieve greater implantation in emergency medicine.

The paradigm shift with the uses of AI-enhanced virtual patients in the medical education for clinical reasoning

<p>臨床診斷是提升醫療品質及確保病人安全的一個關鍵，學員需要經驗眾多病人情境的量與種類，又需被觀察與指導，傳統醫學教育教育與臨床實習不容易達到這些目的，COVID-19疫情造成空間隔離等多重問題，帶來了更大的學習困境。虛擬智慧型參與式擬真訓練，提供了虛擬病人、虛擬醫院及系統中的專家，可以讓學員隨時隨地演練臨床決策能力，在疫情中疫情後提供了臨床思辨教育的轉機。教學上的應用，可以將臨床思辨架構導入診療照護任務中的各步驟，例如: 病史詢問、進行檢查／檢驗探索、身體檢查、診斷分析及病歷寫作的教學訓練，藉此基礎而精進醫療人員之臨床診療能力。</p> <p> </p><p>Clinical diagnosis is a key determinant of health-care quality and patient safety. To attain proficiency, learners must hone their clinical reasoning through deliberate practice while being exposed to a large number and diverse range of patients. However, these goals are difficult to attain in traditional medical education and clinical internships. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these challenges. Thus, this study formulated an NLP-enhanced virtual simulation platform that allows students to practice with virtual patients, virtual hospital environments, and expert guidance behind the scenes. This platform allows hands-on practice in clinical decision-making anywhere anytime, thus presenting a novel avenue for educational enhancement during the pandemic as well as in the post-pandemic era. The virtual simulation training system can be used in the teaching of various clinical tasks, including history taking, physical examination, laboratory investigations, image studies, differential diagnosis, and medical documentation.</p> <p> </p>

Assessment of a Brief Standardized Obstetric Ultrasound Training Program for Individuals Without Prior Ultrasound Experience.

Obstetric volume sweep imaging (OB VSI) is a simple set of transducer movements guided by external body landmarks that can be taught to ultrasound-naive non-experts. This approach can increase access to ultrasound in rural/low-resources settings lacking trained sonographers. This study presents and evaluates a training program for OB VSI. Six trainees without previous formal ultrasound experience received a training program on the OB VSI protocol containing focused didactics and supervised live hands-on ultrasound scanning practice. Trainees then independently performed 194 OB VSI examinations on pregnancies >14 weeks with known prenatal ultrasound abnormalities. Images were reviewed by maternal-fetal medicine specialists for the primary outcome (protocol deviation rates) and secondary outcomes (examination quality and image quality). Protocol deviation was present in 25.8% of cases, but only 7.7% of these errors affected the diagnostic potential of the ultrasound. Error rate differences between trainees ranged from 8.6% to 53.8% (P < 0.0001). Image quality was excellent or acceptable in 88.2%, and 96.4% had image quality capable of yielding a diagnostic interpretation. The frequency of protocol deviations decreased over time in the majority of trainees, demonstrating retention of training program over time. This brief OB VSI training program for ultrasound-naive non-experts yielded operators capable of producing high-quality images capable of diagnostic interpretation after 3 hours of training. This training program could be adapted for use by local community members in low-resource/rural settings to increase access to obstetric ultrasound.

Nursing assessments of women with hypertensive disorders during labor in an academic medical center in Mississippi: a best practice implementation project

The objective of this project was to promote evidence-based practices regarding the nursing assessment of pregnant women with hypertensive disorders admitted to the intrapartum unit. Hypertension during pregnancy has been associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Ongoing evaluation and nursing care are key in the prevention of complications resulting from hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. The implementation of this best practice project was guided by the JBI Model of Evidence-based Healthcare and used the JBI Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System and Getting Research into Practice audit and feedback strategy to promote evidence-based practices regarding the nursing assessment of pregnant women with hypertensive disorders admitted to an intrapartum unit. Eight audit criteria that were representative of best-practice recommendations for nursing assessment of pregnant women with hypertensive disorders were used. A baseline audit was conducted, followed by the implementation of multiple strategies that were determined by the key stakeholders. The project was finalized with a follow-up audit to determine a change in compliance with best-practice recommendations. Baseline audits revealed an average 45% compliance rate with the eight best practice audit criteria. An on-site simulation event, which included a nursing assessment of normal and abnormal lung sounds along with the hands-on practice of deep tendon reflexes, was provided by project members. Evidence-based assessment guidelines were presented and reviewed with all participants. Input from the nursing staff was gathered regarding current documentation practices and electronic health record accessibility. As a result, an electronic health record change was requested, and improvements in nursing practice were observed for five of the eight audit criteria. Follow-up audits revealed an average compliance rate of 73% for all eight audit criteria, a 28% improvement. Continuing nursing education and ongoing competency refreshers can affect the quality of client care and outcomes by offering occasions to improve or strengthen clinical expertise and proficiency. For this project, the simulation training event improved nursing staff compliance with best practices.

Design and Implementation of a Multidisciplinary High-Fidelity Simulation Course for the Management of Malignant Spinal Cord Compression.

High-fidelity simulation (HFS) training is suited to high-stakes, uncommon situations such as malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC), allowing for rare hands-on practice. This pilot study was created as the first of its kind to examine educational outcomes of a radiation therapist (RTT)-led multidisciplinary radiation oncology (RO) emergency simulation course. A multidisciplinary course design team composed of RO residents, radiation oncologists, RTT course instructors, and medical physicists created a high-fidelity MSCC simulation course using collaboratively developed learning goals. Fifteen learners including RO residents, senior RTT students, and a medical physics (MP) resident participated in a live, RTT-facilitated simulation. Participants completed anonymized pre- and post-simulation standard interdisciplinary education perception (IEP) scales and a course evaluation assessing educational outcomes. Standard IEP questionnaire results showed highly favorable perceptions of respondents' own specialty and other allied specialties, with mean total pre-simulation scores of 91.76 and post-simulation scores of 94.23. The course evaluation assessed 10 learning objective domains, with significant improvements seen in self-rated post-course knowledge in 9 domains. Pre-course evaluations showed that 6/15 participants agreed or strongly agreed that they felt comfortable in their knowledge of all included domains; after course completion, 14/15 participants agreed or strongly agreed they felt comfortable in all domains. Collaboratively designed and led HFS courses are not only viable but can be an effective means of improving learning outcomes for RO residents, RTT students, and MP residents.

Improving mother's ability to regulate emotions to build family resilience in the New Sidoarjo Babywearer Community

A mother is the main caregiver as well as carrying out multiple roles so that she is more vulnerable to pressure in most families. Mothers also tend to feel sad, tired, lonely, nervous, anxious and more easily worried. Generally, parenting stress is triggered by the mother's disproportionate burden on raising children. This community service aims to provide education to mothers to optimize their role in the family to build family resilience. The program was carried out online and offline with 30 members of the New Sidoarjo Babywearer community who are part of Indonesia Baby Wearers. The implementation method used is lectures, discussions, hands-on practice and assignment. The analysis used to evaluate the success of this psychoeducation is by pretest and posttest. The results obtained were an increase in participants' knowledge based on an average pre-test score of 56.66% and an average post-test of 84.65%. Thus, psychoeducation is effective in increasing mothers' understanding of parenting stress and regulating emotions.

Effectiveness of Blended Versus Traditional Refresher Training for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Prospective Observational Study.

Generally, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills decline substantially over time. By combining web-based self-regulated learning with hands-on practice, blended training can be a time- and resource-efficient approach enabling individuals to acquire or refresh CPR skills at their convenience. However, few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of blended CPR refresher training compared with that of the traditional method. This study investigated and compared the effectiveness of traditional and blended CPR training through 6-month and 12-month refresher sessions with CPR ability indicators. This study recruited participants aged ≥18 years from the Automated External Defibrillator Donation Project. The participants were divided into 4 groups based on the format of the CPR training and refresher training received: (1) initial traditional training (a 30-minute instructor-led, hands-on session) and 6-month traditional refresher training (Traditional6 group), (2) initial traditional training and 6-month blended refresher training (an 18-minute e-learning module; Mixed6 group), (3) initial traditional training and 12-month blended refresher training (Mixed12 group), and (4) initial blended training and 6-month blended refresher training (Blended6 group). CPR knowledge and performance were evaluated immediately after initial training. For each group, following initial training but before refresher training, a learning effectiveness assessment was conducted at 12 and 24 months. CPR knowledge was assessed using a written test with 15 multiple-choice questions, and CPR performance was assessed through an examiner-rated skill test and objectively through manikin feedback. A generalized estimating equation model was used to analyze changes in CPR ability indicators. This study recruited 1163 participants (mean age 41.82, SD 11.6 years; n=725, 62.3% female), with 332 (28.5%), 270 (23.2%), 258 (22.2%), and 303 (26.1%) participants in the Mixed6, Traditional6, Mixed12, and Blended6 groups, respectively. No significant between-group difference was observed in knowledge acquisition after initial training (P=.23). All groups met the criteria for high-quality CPR skills (ie, average compression depth: 5-6 cm; average compression rate: 100-120 beats/min; chest recoil rate: >80%); however, a higher proportion (98/303, 32.3%) of participants receiving blended training initially demonstrated high-quality CPR skills. At 12 and 24 months, CPR skills had declined in all the groups, but the decline was significantly higher in the Mixed12 group, whereas the differences were not significant between the other groups. This finding indicates that frequent retraining can maintain high-quality CPR skills and that blended refresher training is as effective as traditional refresher training. Our findings indicate that 6-month refresher training sessions for CPR are more effective for maintaining high-quality CPR skills, and that as refreshers, self-learning e-modules are as effective as instructor-led sessions. Although the blended learning approach is cost and resource effective, factors such as participant demographics, training environment, and level of engagement must be considered to maximize the potential of this approach.

Community Partnership Empowerment Through Utilizing Waste Glass for Construction Products

Waste glass constitutes significant landfill waste, leading to environmental concerns. Considering its chemical composition, glass powder contains 50% to 60% silica, making it suitable for construction materials. Consequently, this community service initiative introduced waste glass as a building material, serving as a partial substitute for sand in construction products. In addition, the activity involved teaching partners how to create castings/road gates utilizing waste glass. The target partners in this activity were productive business groups engaged in selling wind holes, well rings, rosters, and similar products. The approach applied involved socialization and hands-on practices at the partner's premises. The program's success was obtained through interviews and product compressive strength tests with the partners. The outcomes demonstrate the partners' keen interest in the activity, their understanding of the benefits of utilizing waste glass as a partial sand replacement, and their ability to create products. Notably, the compressive strength of the products created with the partners ranged from 24.72 MPa to 30.84 MPa, aligning with the SNI 03-2442-1991 standard for road curbs (30 MPa). The activity positively impacted the partners, enhancing their business prospects and contributing to environmental sustainability. The training helps in enhancing the partners' skills and capabilities.

Exploring English Major Students’ Self-Directed Technology Use for Language Learning

English, as a foreign language education, requires students to be taught in the classroom and participate in additional hands-on activities outside the classroom using technology resources or non-technology. However, language learners rarely use technology to learn outside the classroom, and types of technology have been limited. Therefore, it is crucial to provide language learners with various technology resources to enhance their learning experience and motivate them to continue practicing outside the classroom. The study aimed to provide insights into factors influencing students’ self-directed technology use for language learning. The study findings can help design effective language-learning programs integrating technology and enhancing self-directed learning. The study, which included 167 English major students, employed quantitative methods and an adapted questionnaire. Multiple Linear Regression, Pearson Correlation, and descriptive statistics helped quantitatively analyze the data. The findings show that the three factors—attitude toward an act or behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control—are highly correlated. Furthermore, the subjective norm was the most significant influence, and attitude toward action or behavior was the least. Teachers should focus on creating a positive social norm around self-directed technology use for language learning and encourage students to perceive it as socially desirable. Additionally, they can work on improving students’ attitudes toward technology by highlighting its benefits and providing opportunities for hands-on practice.

An Educational Program for Remote Training and Supervision of Home-Based Transcranial Electrical Stimulation: Feasibility and Preliminary Effectiveness

ObjectivesThere has been recent interest in the administration of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) by a caregiver, family member, or patient themselves while in their own homes (HB-tES). The need to properly train individuals in the administration of HB-tES is essential, and the lack of a uniform training approach across studies has come to light. The primary aim of this paper is to present the HB-tES training and supervision program, a tele-supervised, instructional, and evaluation program to teach laypersons how to administer HB-tES to a participant and to provide a standardized framework for remote monitoring of participants by teaching staff. The secondary aim is to present early pilot data on the feasibility and effectiveness of the training portion of the program based on its implementation in 379 sessions between two pilot clinical trials. Materials and MethodsThe program includes instructional materials, standardized tele-supervised hands-on practice sessions, and a system for remote supervision of participants by teaching staff. Nine laypersons completed the training program. Data on the feasibility and effectiveness of the program were collected. ResultsNo adverse events were reported during the training or any of the HB-tES sessions after the training. All laypersons successfully completed the training. The nine laypersons reported being satisfied with the training program and confident in their tES administration capabilities. This was consistent with laypersons requiring technical assistance from teaching staff very infrequently during the 379 completed sessions. The average adherence rate between all administrators was >98%, with seven of nine administrators having 100% adherence to the scheduled sessions. ConclusionsThese findings indicate that the HB-tES program is effective and is associated with participant satisfaction. SignificanceWe hope that the remote nature of this training program will facilitate increased accessibility to HB-tES research for participants of different demographics and locations. This program, designed for easy adaptation to different HB-tES research applications and devices, also is accessible online. The adoption of this program is expected to facilitate uniformity of study methods among future HB-tES studies and thereby accelerate the pace of tES intervention discovery.
