Enhance nursing students’ reflection through Padlet: an action research

Background: Reflective practice (RP) is encouraged amongst healthcare students, including nursing students. However, students do not have a ‘safe space’ to practice reflection before being assessed. Padlet is an interactive platform that can potentially facilitate students’ reflection via its features that enables anonymous participation, asynchronous participation and collaborative learning environment. This study aims to explore the influence of current reflection teaching method on students’ RP and how Padlet can facilitate students’ RP. Methods: An action research was undertaken with 22 first year nursing students from Feb to May 2023. Participants answered questions anonymously pre-class and post-class in two Padlet boards. The researcher gave constructive feedback and signposted good examples of reflection to participants thus enabling ‘champion’ students to emerge during the process. Anonymous texts from two Padlet boards were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis technique. Results: Three themes were generated: i) Pre-class variable baseline understanding of reflection; ii) Co-constructed reflection and iii) Tools and triggers for reflection. Students joined the study with different presumptions and understanding of reflection, ranging from descriptive understanding of the concept, a total misunderstanding of the concept and in-depth understanding of reflection. They all indicated a changed understanding of reflection post-class and emphasized the benefits of a socially constructed learning process. Participants suggested the use of reflective tools (via reflective models) and triggers (via probing questions and feedback) as useful to facilitate their reflection. Conclusions: This study indicates that the current teaching materials enable students to enhance their understanding of reflection. Nevertheless, students could potentially benefit from tools and triggers that will initiate and support their reflection. To that end, Padlet proves a promising tool to enhance students’ reflection via its function to enable anonymity, asynchronous participation and socially constructed learning environment.

Public transport: lessons learned by the sector through the COVID-19 pandemic

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the operations and functionality of the public transport sector in the UK. This paper reflects on the experience of this sector through the pandemic period, and considers recommendations for any future mitigations required for either new COVID-19 waves or a different public health emergency.MethodsSemi-structured interviews were carried out with public transport experts, organisational leaders, workers and passengers in two phases: Phase 1 from January to May 2021, and Phase 2 from December 2021 to February 2022. Interviews were analysed thematically.ResultsUsing the ‘What? So What? Now What?’ reflective model, ideas are drawn out to describe (a) what changes occurred, (b) what effects these changes had on service provision as well as perceptions of risk and mitigation and (c) what lessons have been learned and how these findings can feed into pandemic preparedness for the future. Respondent reflections focussed on the importance of communication, leadership, and maintaining compliance.ConclusionsThe wealth of experience gained through the COVID-19 pandemic in the public transport sector is extremely valuable. Through reflection on this experience, specific recommendations are made relating to these factors, covering: maintaining links across industry, access to information and data, understanding of mitigation effectiveness, improving messaging, challenges of behavioural mitigations, and clear lines of accountability. The recommendations made on the basis of this reflective process will help to improve public health strategy within the public transport sector.

Development of a Reflective Practice Guideline (C-E-R-M-I-N) for Nursing Students in the Malay Language

Reflective practice is an integral aspect of nursing education and professional development. However, there is a lack of reflective practice guidelines available in Malay that Malaysian nursing students can effectively utilise. This study aimed to address the gap by developing a reflective practice guideline specifically tailored for nursing students in the Malay language to enhance their learning experience. This study's method involved reviewing existing reflective learning models, adapting the terminologies into the Malay language, and selecting appropriate words for each stage of reflection. To ensure face validity, a discussion was held with subject matter experts, who provided valuable insights and recommendations for further refinement of the guideline. The developed reflective practice guideline was named C-E-R-M-I-N, which stands for C-cerita (describe), E-emosi (emotion), R-rasional (rationale), M-mengambil iktibar/inisiatif (drawing lessons/initiative), and N-nomborkan mengikut prioriti (number according to priority). The C-E-R-M-I-N reflective practice guideline is designed to benefit nursing students, particularly those who use Malay as their main communication language. C-E-R-M-I-N provides a framework in their native language that eases comprehension and memory. Future work on the guideline could focus on its impact on nursing students' reflective skills, critical thinking skills, and overall professional growth.

Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS) of Water-Soluble Surfactants: Is it Surface-Specific?

Infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) is commonly used to study the structure and chemistry of molecules residing at surfaces, including water surfaces, which has far-reaching applications including atmospheric chemistry and food science. However, there is some debate regarding the surface-specificity of IRRAS when examining soluble surfactants on aqueous solutions, and there is some evidence that the surface-specificity may differ between IRRAS of ionic surfactants and soluble organic acids. This paper presents infrared reflection absorption (IRRA) spectra of soluble organic acids underneath monolayers of insoluble surfactants, where the contributions from the insoluble surfactants are subtracted from the spectra to capture "subsurface effects". These "subsurface" spectra demonstrate that IRRA spectra of soluble organic acids are surface specific, and this observation is supported by a simplified model for reflections from "subsurface" layers. Finally, the observations presented here are compared to literature observations regarding the surface-specificity of IRRAS when studying ionic surfactants. Overall, this work demonstrates the utility of IRRAS for studying the structures and chemistry of soluble organic acids at aqueous surfaces.

Bridging the Gap: Feasibility, Appropriateness, and Acceptability of an Integrated Attachment-Based Training for Teachers and Parents in Early Head Start

Early care and education (ECE) programs often struggle to consistently engage parents in programming that supports caregiving at home. As part of an Early Head Start (EHS) University Partnership, we adapted an attachment-based, reflective training program centered on supporting teachers to share information with parents; and investigated its appropriateness, acceptability, and feasibility in the context of EHS. Qualitative data from university-based facilitators (n = 8), infant/toddler teachers (n = 20), and parents (n =13), suggest that a small group format and a facilitator stance of openness, curiosity, and cultural humility promoted teachers’ and parents’ positive perspectives of HMB concepts. Participants in this study helped us to understand challenges to HMB’s feasibility, including logistical challenges that need to be considered for successful implementation in other EHS sites. This study tapped the perspectives of stakeholders and provides insights that will support the implementation of ongoing, reflective training models across the ECE system.

Iterative business model innovation: A conceptual process model and tools for incumbents

Business model innovation (BMI) is challenging for incumbents because they must leverage existing capabilities, market knowledge, and stakeholder relationships in the BMI process. As BMI is an ongoing process, incumbents that can continuously innovate their BMs in response to changing market conditions and customer needs may be successful in the long term. However, an integrated and detailed process model of incumbents’ highly challenging BMI process is lacking. By structurally reviewing 47publications and integrating their process model elements, we propose an incremental, iterative, recursive, and reflective conceptual process model for incumbents’ BMI that comprises six phases and summarizes 23activities and 38tools. Our work contributes to the ongoing evolution of the process perspective of BMI by presenting a process model for incumbents that complements the established phases of initiation, ideation, and integration with the new phases of lifecycle analysis, competitor analysis, and roadmap.

Building Practitioner Resilience

It is widely agreed that Indonesia is currently one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and with this growth has come the inevitable ‘internationalisation’ of the educational market, driven by investment, foreign aid, and trade agreements. Additionally, the Indonesian vocational and further education marketplace faces several challenges, risks, and vulnerabilities which make it necessary to integrate resilience development as a key component of future engagement practice. Technological change, economic instability, limited resources and emerging environmental and social challenges all weigh heavily on an emerging economy. Meaningful engagement therefore requires integrating resilience, so institutions can foster a culture of adaptability and flexibility. However, the content and conduct of imported models of engagement have been shown to lack the requisite local cultural sensitivity and therefore are having an unintended negative impact on educational practice (Allais, 2014). Whilst much of the substance of these imported models is delivered with good intention, there is a level of cultural inappropriateness, and this means that programs lack traction in the Indonesian milieu. In this article, the authors reflect on the deployment of the meaningful practice intervention model (Fairman, 2018) within a specified project, which is the creation of an industry-led vocational training system for the logistics and supply chain sector for Indonesia. In following this issue, the paper examines the approach, outcomes, initial design and relevant inclusion practices currently used in the education area in order to highlight a more culturally appropriate way forward for industry-led interventions, particularly in Occupational Standards and training systems design. The investigation also critically analyses the lessons learned and the changes required to assist any future foreign-designed capability development programs. The researchers critically examine their project using Driscoll’s (2007) Reflective Practice model, in order to better understanding what went well and what could be improved, paying particular relevance to donor-funded programs and the deployment of the meaningful practice intervention model.

Formation of Scattering Characteristics for Acoustical Ray Tracing Simulation

Ray tracing simulation of sound field in rooms is a common tool in room acoustic design for predicting impulse response. There are numerous commercial engineering tools utilising ray tracing simulation. A specific problem in the simulation is the modelling of diffuse reflections when contribution of individual surface is prevailing. The paper introduces modelling of scattering which is interesting when the whole impulse response of a room is not a goal but contribution of certain surface. The main goal of the project is to shape directivity characteristics of scattered reflection. Also, an innovative approach is suggested for converting the energy histogram information obtained by ray tracing into an “equivalent impulse response”. The proposed algorithm is tested by comparing the results with measurements in a real sound field, realised in a scaled model where a diffusing surface is hardware-implemented.

Collaborative Diagnostic Conversations Between Clinicians, Patients, and Their Families: A Way to Avoid Diagnostic Errors

ObjectiveTo identify the components of the collaborative diagnostic conversations between clinicians, patients, and their families and how deficiencies in these conversations can lead to diagnostic errors. Patients and MethodsWe purposively selected 60 video recordings of clinical encounters that included diagnosis conversations. These videos were obtained from the internal medicine, and family medicine services at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Rochester, Minnesota. These clinical encounters were recorded between November 2017, and December 2021, during the conduct of studies aiming at developing or testing shared decision-making interventions. We followed a critically reflective approach model for data analysis. ResultsWe identified 3 components of diagnostic conversations as follows: (1) recognizing diagnostic situations, (2) setting priorities, and (3) creating and reconciling a diagnostic plan. Deficiencies in diagnostic conversations could lead to framing issues in a way that sets diagnostic activities off in an incorrect or undesirable direction, incorrect prioritization of diagnostic concerns, and diagnostic plans of care that are not feasible, desirable, or productive. ConclusionWe identified 3 clinician-and-patient diagnostic conversation components and mapped them to potential diagnostic errors. This information may inform additional research to identify areas of intervention to decrease the frequency and harm associated with diagnostic errors in clinical practice.

Ellipsometric study of the porous silicon: The impact of decoration and oxidation on porosity depth profiling

The multiple-angle-of-incidence ellipsometric studies of the decoration by isopropyl alcohol of porous silicon (PSi) have been performed. The existence of a subsurface thin film of modified PSi with 5–7 % higher porosity contrary to the initial PSi layer was established. The refractive index and thickness of the film were calculated in the single-layer reflective system model. It was found that empty pores of the film after the sample was kept in isopropyl alcohol for 24 h were filled by its molecules. Thus, the effective refractive index of the modified film decreased while its thickness slightly increased. The refractive index decrease of the film over time during several months of observation is the result of the continuation of the PSi oxidation in atmospheric conditions. The work also presents the results of the PSi samples' oxidation degree by the ellipsometric method after high-temperature annealing in dry air (T = 1000 °C).

An Analysis of Capital Structure, Stock Ownership Structure, and Profitability as Intervening Variables in Firm Value Testing

Value is one metric that identifies a company's sustainability. Financing assets or paying off a company's debt are two alternatives to the capital structure and stock ownership structure. Businesses can also use profitability indicators to decide whether a capital structure is necessary and how much stock should be owned. The purpose the The link between capital structure and return, as well as the profitability of capital structure for each of these attributes on equity, were examined and empirically established in this study. business value. Manufacturing firms registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2014 and 2016 made up the sample population for this study. Additionally, the sample used for the 2014–2016 period included 10 manufacturing firms in the food and beverage subsector. Descriptive analysis and partial least squares (PLS) data analysis were the methods employed in this investigation. Indicators were also included as sub-variables affected by latent variables in a reflective model. The measurement model testing also made use of the outer and inner models. The study's findings showed that the latent variable of profitability is significantly influenced by the ownership structure of stocks and the capital structure. Furthermore, there is a connection between the latent variables of corporate value and profitability. the latent variables of business value or capital structure, however, are unaffected by the stock ownership structure

The Influence of Behavioral Biases on Investment Decisions; Moderating Role of Emotional Stability

This study examines how six behavioral biases (availability bias, self-control bias, overconfidence bias, prejudice an illusion of control, and representative prejudice) affect investing decisions moderated by emotional Stability. The study employs a theoretical model based on behavioral finance theories and a hypothetic-deductive methodology. Demographic information of 237 active traders on the stock exchange has been examined through quantitative research utilizing SmartPLS 4. The findings construct validity as all items have a loading value >0.60. The proposed model was tested in the study using a two-step process. First, reflective measurement models were used to test the measurement model, and Partial Least Squares (PLS) were employed to analyze the data. The structural relationships between the variables were then examined using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings revealed that all variables explained 37.53% of the overall variance, indicating no significant issues with friction from the usual technique. The study's findings suggest that behavioral biases considerably influence investment choices and that emotional Stability moderates this relationship.

The results show that business strategy is essential for aspiring entrepreneurs to increase creativity and efficiency in the direction of sustainability.

Self-Concept and Self-Esteem, Determinants of Greater Life Satisfaction in Mountain and Climbing Technicians and Athletes.

In recent decades, the exponential growth that sports practice in mountain and climbing disciplines have experienced has led to trying to find an explanation for the predisposition of those socio-emotional factors of these athletes that are considered in the search for sensations and the achievement of greater satisfaction with life. In this study, 4818 people with a sports license in the Spanish Federation of Mountain and Climbing Sports (FEDME) participated; 67.1% were men and 32.9% women. The mean age of the participants was 49.42 years (±11.9), between a range of 18 to 76 years. The following instruments were used: the Self-concept scale (AF5), the Rosenberg Self-esteem Questionnaire and the Life satisfaction scale (SWLS). The objective of this research was to study the enhancing effect of self-esteem between self-concept (physical, emotional and social) and life satisfaction. A reflective model of structural equations (PLS-SEM) was applied based on the proposed theoretical framework from an explanatory-predictive perspective. The results show the self-esteem determination coefficients [(Q2 = 0.141); (R2 = 0.302)] and life satisfaction [(Q2 = 0.243); (R2 = 0.342)] in the estimation of the model, indicating an adequate fit. Mountaineering and climbing sports can be very rewarding, but they can also be challenging and frustrating. Having a good self-concept and good self-esteem allows the athlete to enjoy achieving greater life satisfaction.

Dimensions of Omnichannel Retail Quality on Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty

The shift in consumer shopping from offline to online, and then to a hybrid of the two, combining the benefits of each to overcome the disadvantages of both. This study focuses on the dimensions of omnichannel retail quality. The emphasis is on analyzing consumer behavior in offline, online, and combined omnichannel retail channels. The rapid growth of this retail channel is due in part to the ease and security of payment, though there are still those who use the cash-on-delivery system. The methods employed include a review of the literature on omnichannel research articles, consumer surveys, and data documentation on business phenomena. SEM was used to examine the relationship between IOC, VOC, CS, and CL. The software used is Smart PLS 4. The goal of path modeling, particularly reflective models such as PLS, is to estimate the variance of endogenous constructs, as a result from their respective manifest variables. The findings of this study can be used to test OC intensity and OC shopping value in providing consumers with shopping experiences that result in customer satisfaction and loyalty. Relevant marketing implications and future research are advised.
