Thyroid hormone sufficiency in pregnancy is vital for children's neurodevelopment. Exposure to iodine excess can cause transient disruption of thyroid hormone synthesis through the Wolff-Chaikoff effect. Iodinated contrast media are commonly utilized in hysterosalpingography (HSG) as part of female fertility work-up. When conception occurs shortly after HSG with iodinated contrast, a temporary reduction of maternal and/or foetal thyroid hormone synthesis could jeopardize children's neurodevelopment. We compared the neurodevelopmental outcomes of 6-9-year-old children (n=69) conceived <6 months after HSG with 5-10 ml of oil-based contrast (iodine content: 480mg/ml) or water-based contrasts (iodine content: 250mg/ml) in the follow-up of a nationwide randomised controlled trial (H2Oil trial; Netherlands; 2012-2014; NCT05168228). A community sample of naturally-conceived children (n=44) with similar age, sex and parental education was used as a comparison group (NTR9574). Primary outcomes were intelligence (Wechsler’s Intelligence Scale for Children V), behaviour questionnaires for parents and teachers (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ); Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms And Normal behaviour (SWAN)), and academic performance. Secondary outcomes were neurocognitive domains assessed in computerized tasks focussing on Processing & Control, Verbal Memory, Visual Memory, Verbal Working Memory, Visual Working Memory, and Visuomotor Integration (Emma Toolbox for Neurocognitive Functioning). We adjusted linear regression models for age, sex, and parental education, applying FDR correction for multiple comparisons. Additional analysis looked at children conceived within 4 weeks, 4-12 weeks, or >12 weeks after HSG. Children conceived <6 months after HSG had lower performance on intelligence tests (-6.81; 95%CI -10.97 to -2.65; p=0.02) and the neurocognitive domain Processing & Control (-0.52; 95%CI-0.84 to -0.19; p=0.02), with processing speed and consistency affected. No differences were found for other neurocognitive domains, behaviour or academic performance. In comparison to naturally-conceived children, children conceived <4 weeks after HSG had lower performance on intelligence tests, but there was no difference for children conceived 4-12 weeks and >12 weeks after HSG. Replication studies with higher power are needed to further evaluate the safety of iodinated contrast media use periconception, including their effects on thyroid function and children's neurodevelopment. Closer monitoring and treatment of thyroid dysfunction in the months following HSG may be warranted. Presentation: 6/1/2024

Enhancing Lessons on the Internet of Things in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Medical Education with a Remote Lab

Integrating remote Internet of Things (IoT) laboratories into project-based learning (PBL) in higher education institutions (HEIs) while exploiting the approach of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is a challenging yet pivotal endeavor. Our proposed approach enables students to interact with an IoT-equipped lab locally and remotely, thereby bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application, creating a more immersive, adaptable, and effective learning experience. This study underscores the significance of combining hardware, software, and coding skills in PBL, emphasizing how IoTRemoteLab (the remote lab we developed) supports a customized educational experience that promotes innovation and safety. Moreover, we explore the potential of IoTRemoteLab as a TEL, facilitating and supporting the understanding and definition of the requirements of remote learning. Furthermore, we demonstrate how we incorporate generative artificial intelligence into IoTRemoteLab’s settings, enabling personalized recommendations for students leveraging the lab locally or remotely. Our approach serves as a model for educators and researchers aiming to equip students with essential skills for the digital age while addressing broader issues related to access, engagement, and sustainability in HEIs. The practical findings following an in-class experiment reinforce the value of IoTRemoteLab and its features in preparing students for future technological demands and fostering a more inclusive, safe, and effective educational environment.

The effects of a flipped classroom approach on older adult students’ performance in digital photography

ABSTRACT The trend of population aging is accelerating globally, which is resulting in increased attention on the educational needs of older adults. Given the cognitive changes associated with aging, there is a pressing need for innovative teaching strategies that cater to their unique requirements. Although the flipped classroom model has shown positive effects on student engagement and learning outcomes across diverse educational contexts, its efficacy in the context of older adult education remains to be empirically validated. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach in digital photography courses designed for older adult students (OAS). The research involved 25 OAS at a third-age university located in western China. This study used a quasi-experimental research design. The experimental group (N = 12) received instruction using a flipped classroom approach, while the control group (N = 13) received traditional lecture-based instruction. Data were collected and analyzed to compare student engagement, in-class observations, out-of-class communications, digital photography assignments, and after-class interviews between the two study groups. The findings indicated that the level of behavioral engagement differed significantly between the experimental and control groups. The observations revealed differences in note-taking methods and out-of-class communications between the two groups. The results further suggest that the flipped classroom approach enhances the learning achievements of advanced photography skills and knowledge. The challenges faced by students in the experimental group are also discussed. The findings of this research will facilitate the application of the flipped classroom model in third-age education.

Generative Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models in Primary Care Medical Education.

Generative artificial intelligence and large language models are the continuation of a technological revolution in information processing that began with the invention of the transistor in 1947. These technologies, driven by transformer architectures for artificial neural networks, are poised to broadly influence society. It is already apparent that these technologies will be adapted to drive innovation in education. Medical education is a high-risk activity: Information that is incorrectly taught to a student may go unrecognized for years until a relevant clinical situation appears in which that error can lead to patient harm. In this article, I discuss the principal limitations to the use of generative artificial intelligence in medical education-hallucination, bias, cost, and security-and suggest some approaches to confronting these problems. Additionally, I identify the potential applications of generative artificial intelligence to medical education, including personalized instruction, simulation, feedback, evaluation, augmentation of qualitative research, and performance of critical assessment of the existing scientific literature.

Studies from the core collection of Web of Science were used. Furthermore, CiteSpace 6.3 R3 was utilized to analyze information on country, institution, authors, keywords and burst words. A total of 296 articles were included in the analysis. The United States had the highest number of articles, and there was limited cooperation between authors and institutions. The research hotspots in this field included "clinical education models for specialist nurses", "APN role training", and "interprofessional education". The future research trend is to explore the effective integration of training models suitable for different regions and cultural backgrounds and cross-professional education models. It is suggested that researchers pay attention to the innovation and development of specialized nursing clinical practice under different cultural backgrounds, and strengthen international exchanges and cooperation.

A call for further study and use of transformational leadership in pharmacy education and practice: Hope and reinvigoration

This paper calls for further study of transformational leadership and its further use in educating PharmD students as well as inclusion of continuing education programming and mentoring the behaviours of current pharmacists. It does not present an argument for reduction in use or diminishment of other leadership theories, many of which have at least some overlap with transformational leadership. Rather, emphasis on transformation leadership might be one of many solutions to challenges plaguing the profession currently, with some sense of negativity and challenging workplace conditions among many pharmacists; support personnel and drug shortages; and a need for more collegial citizenship behaviors and stronger organizational culture. Transformative leadership behaviors and communication, versus others particularly more transactional in nature, envisage a future for the entire profession as well as for the individuals who comprise them, articulate the value of the contributions made by the employee, and help imbue a sense of professional identity. These are things sorely needed in the modern workplace and are either explicitly stated or tacitly implied in educational standards and professional competencies. A recent study on transformational leadership as measured by the Multifactorial Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) found more parsimonious structures toward the definition of transformational leadership and the outcomes resulting from its use, which actually makes it easier to discern and thus even more applicable to incorporate into models of pharmacy education and practice. The time to further study and employ transformational leadership is now.

CLOSING THE TALENT GAP: A PROPOSED MICRO-CREDENTIAL MODEL IN MALAYSIAN FORMAL EDUCATION

The global talent gap is a consequence of skills mismatch among job seekers. Although micro-credentials appeared to be a potential solution to narrow the talent gap, it is unclear how they can be effectively implemented in a structured academic pathway. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of a proposed micro-credential model for formal education via the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning Micro-credentials (APEL.M), to support the talent gap challenges faced by companies in Malaysia. The study used a qualitative case study method with data collected mainly from a focus group discussion among relevant faculty heads, administrators, and senior management team members. The findings indicated that despite potential challenges and issues towards implementing the new micro-credential model, the proposed model is significant for policymakers, higher education providers, and industry stakeholders interested in addressing the talent gap and creating alternative pathways to formal academic qualifications.

Validation of a 3D-Printed Silicone-Based Laryngeal Model for Resident Education.

We sought to validate a laryngeal simulation model and subsequently demonstrate its efficacy in improving surgical technique. Pre-post interventional study. Otolaryngology Program at a Tertiary Care Center. A low-cost, high-fidelity laryngeal model was created using a 3-dimensional-printed cast and multilayered silicone to mimic vocal fold lesions. Participants (attendings and trainees) were first given a series of tasks including mucosal vocal fold lesion resection and microflap excision of a submucosal lesion. Trainees were then provided with an instructional video from a laryngologist and asked to repeat the same tasks on the model. Performance data was then assessed using validated surveys and blinded expert reviewers. Eighteen participants completed the simulation. All subjects agreed that the "simulation experience was useful" and 93% agreed "the simulator helped improve my ability to do microsurgical tasks." In the postinstruction self-evaluation, trainees reported a significant decrease in mental demand (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.37-0.91; P = .038) and significant increase in subjective performance (95% CI: 1.51-51.89; P = .016) compared to the preinstruction self-evaluation. On the postinstruction attempt, there was a significant improvement in all domains of the adapted objective structured assessment of technical skills as measured by 3 blinded, expert reviewers. This study demonstrates the usefulness of a silicone larynx model and the value of instructional video in developing laryngeal microsurgical skills. Participants positively reviewed the laryngeal model and trainees saw both a subjective and objective improvement indicating tangible operative benefits from the use of this laryngeal simulation.

School based inclusive mentoring within the scope of an experiential learning model (IEM) for teacher education

This research employed school-based Inclusive Experimental Monitoring (IEM) mentoring within the scope of Kolb's (1984) experiential learning model. This was used to support pre-service teachers, combined with their existing undergraduate education at a Turkish university. The study undertook a mixed research approach, using the pre- and post-test experimental group (n=11) and control group (n=11). Various quantitative and qualitative data collection tools were used, including a personal information form, scales, questionnaires, video recordings, and unstructured observation. The results indicate that IEM has several positive outcomes for self-efficacy in inclusive education and readiness for the teaching profession. However, the study did not find any substantial changes in attitudes towards individuals with special educational needs, despite some observed positive impacts. It is believed that integrating IEM into the entire undergraduate education process can lead to further development in this regard.

DISCUSSING THE ISSUES OF BUILDING A SYSTEM OF TRAINING LOCAL CHINESE LANGUAGE TEACHERS IN KAZAKHSTAN

Under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, this study focuses on the construction and optimisation of the local Chinese language teacher education system in Kazakhstan. By examining in detail, the structure and function of the current system of Chinese language teacher training in Kazakhstan and the multiple challenges it faces, we use comparative pedagogical methods and refer to successful models of teacher education at home and abroad, with the aim of proposing a set of actionable strategic recommendations. These proposals aim not only to promote the professional growth and stability of local Chinese language teachers, but also to enhance the quality and effi-ciency of Chinese language teaching, thus promoting the popularisation and application of Chinese language in Kazakhstan. Srengthening international co-operation in the field of language education, especially exchanges with China, iscrucial for enhancing understanding and deepening the human-istic bond between the two peoples. Therefore, this study also aims to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the construction of a shared linguistic and cultural platform connected two countries and promoted of the regional practice of the concept "community of human destiny", thus contributing to the pluralistic dialogue and harmonious coexistence among the countries along the "Belt and Road".

Curriculum and program evaluation in medical education: a short systematic literature review.

Medical education is constantly evolving worldwide and facing various challenges. To cope with these, continuous and fruitful evaluation of an educational program is the need of the day. This study aims to know the purpose of evaluation, various theories related to program evaluation, and different models of curriculum and program evaluation. This will help educationists evaluate their programs fruitfully and effectively according to their needs and objectives. Different search engines including Medline's PubMed interface, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Review databases using keywords, curriculum evaluation, evaluation models, and evaluation strategies in education, were searched without any date restrictions, and 20 full-text articles were selected for review and data extraction. While reviewing the literature it was found that most of the modern educational program and curriculum evaluation models are based on the reductionist, system, and complexity theories of evaluation. The experimental/quasi-experimental model is based majorly on the linear approach and reductionism, but its drawback is that it is impractical for the whole curriculum and sometimes ethically unfavorable. Kirkpatrick's model, Philips' model, the CIPP model, and the logic model are based on the system and complexity theory and are more practical in medical education. Each of these models has its advantages and limitations. In this review, the authors discussed the important distinctive features of these evaluation theories and models and their applicability and usefulness in evaluating different programs and curricula.

Design of a Health Education Program to Manage Chronic Neck Pain: Protocol for a Development Study.

Chronic neck pain (CNP) needs attention to its physical, cognitive, and social dimensions. We aimed to design a health education program (HEP) with a biopsychosocial approach for patients with CNP. A literature search on CNP, health education, and biopsychosocial models was carried out. Seven physiotherapists with expertise in HEPs and chronic pain participated in three teams that evaluated the literature and prepared a synthesis document in relation to the three target topics. Experts compiled the information obtained and prepared a proposal for an HEP with a biopsychosocial approach aimed at patients with CNP. This proposal was tested in the physiotherapy units of primary care health centers belonging to the East Assistance Directorate of Madrid, and suggestions were included in the final program. The HEP for CNP with a biopsychosocial approach consists of 5 educational sessions lasting between 90 and 120 minutes, carried out every other day. Cognitive, emotional, and physical dimensions were addressed in all sessions, with particular attention to the psychosocial factors associated with people who have CNP. The proposed HEP with a biopsychosocial approach emphasizes emotional management, especially stress, without neglecting the importance of physical and recreational exercises for the individual's return to social activities. The objective of this program was to achieve a clinically relevant reduction in perceived pain intensity and functional disability as well as an improvement in quality of life in the short and medium term.

Impact of Intermediate Indicators on Attaining Cognitive Program Outcomes

Abstract : Globally, engineering education is revolutionizing through the Outcome Based Education (OBE) model. To achieve accreditation under the requirements of the Washington Accord, the Program Outcome attainment has become a focal point in the Engineering field. Attempts to introduce a new OBE-based curriculum in the Universities of Bangladesh have faced many challenges for teaching staff and students. One of the crucial tasks is to achieve the defined Program Outcomes (POs) through Course Outcomes (COs). In this paper, an intermediate relationship between POs and COs is proposed. A case study and analysis of the proposed Intermediate Indicator to attain Cognitive Domain Program Outcomes has been presented to verify the efficiency and effectiveness of the methodology. Results clearly demonstrate that the Intermediate Indicator is essential to attaining program outcomes through course outcomes.
