도시 커뮤니티시설과 가로장치물 상세설계 언어의 시각적 노트에 따른 상징과 의미에 관한 연구 - 미국의 콩코드, 렉싱톤, 알링톤의 전통적 타운을 사례로 -

This research aims to find processes for developing the design language for the visual notes and design meaning of street furnitures. The result of this study are as follows. 1) The design language implies to get how to represent condensed symbols of the street furnitures. 2) The configuration of the street furnitures has their visual note and design meaning of community identity, represented their own detail design languages. 3) The detail design languages are useful to solve the matters of what design elements of the street furnitures can be composed of the visual notes and design meaning. 4) The detail design languages can be applied to the pattern of tools of Microsoft Office Word.

Analgesia acupuntural en cirugía de catarata en el Hospital Miguel Enríquez (2005)

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of acupunctural analgesia as an anesthetic method in cataract surgery using the Blumenthal technique. Methods Fifty patients who underwent cataract surgery using the Blumenthal technique from January to December 2005 in the Miguel Enriquez University Hospital were selected. All information gathered, including the operational variables of age, sex, race, hemodynamic and/or systemic alterations, and the need to change the technique to evaluate effectiveness and ocular or systemic complications were introduced into a database. The results were processed by the SPSS statistical software package, version 11.5, through a Pentium Dual-Core computer with the Windows Xp operating system programs Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Office Word to design the text. Frequency tables and graphics for the distinct variables were constructed. Summary measures, such as absolute values and percentages, were used. The non-parametric method of Pearsońs Chi-squared test of independence and statistical homogeneity was applied, with a permissible error of 5%. Results There were no systemic or hemodynamic alterations in the course of the surgery. The analgesic method was changed to intracameral injection of preservative-free lidocaine in only one patient. Postoperative complications were not attributable to the type of anesthesia and consisted of mild corneal edema and secondary ocular hypertension. Conclusions Acupunctural analgesia is an alternative technique in cataract surgery.

Readability of Patient Education Materials from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America Web Sites

While experts recommend that the readability of patient education materials should be less than the sixth grade level, the available information pertaining to orthopaedic diseases may be excessively complex for some to read and comprehend. The Flesch-Kincaid grade level is the most widely used tool to evaluate the readability score of a given text, with a lower grade level suggesting easier readability. The goal of our study was to assess the readability of pediatric orthopaedic patient education materials that were developed by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) and were accessible to the general public through the Internet. All articles from the "Children" section of the patient education library, "Your Orthopaedic Connection," on the AAOS web site and the "Parent/Patient" section on the POSNA web site were identified. The Flesch-Kincaid grade level of each article was determined with use of Microsoft Office Word software. The mean grade levels of articles that were available in 2001 were compared with those accessible in 2007. Fifty-seven unique articles were available in 2007 on both web sites compared with twenty-five articles available in 2001. The readability score of only one (2%) of the currently available articles was less than sixth grade level. The mean Flesch-Kincaid grade level of the currently available articles was 8.9 compared with 8.7 for the articles available in 2001 (p = 0.71). Our findings suggest that most of the pediatric orthopaedic patient education materials available on the AAOS and POSNA web sites have readability scores that may be too high, making comprehension difficult for a substantial portion of the United States population.

Customising Microsoft Office to develop a tutorial learning environment

Powerful applications such as Microsoft Office's Excel and Word are widely used to perform common tasks in the workplace and in education. Scripting within these applications allows unanticipated user requirements to be addressed. We show that such extensibility, intended to support office automation-type applications, is well suited to the creation of learning activities and learning environments. We have developed a range of tutorial activities using Excel and Word in introductory mathematics, writing and economics courses. These tutorials have the dual purpose of teaching academic concepts and practical computer literacy skills. The software architecture of our learning environment includes a database-supported back-end to automatically record students’ responses, which allows for greater control over what students do. Additionally, this allows one to automate common procedures to improve usability and feedback automation to support learning. We have been applying our ideas for the last six years and currently 1,500 students are using the environment. We suggest that this pragmatic solution can provide a high degree of interactivity and flexibility in a range of learning contexts that represents a cost-effective alternative for use alongside traditional approaches.
