Viva voce using Objective, Integrated, Clustered Examination Software (VOICES) app: study for formative assessment of medical undergraduate students in physiology.

The significance of assessment in driving learning is undeniable, particularly in oral assessments like viva voce where students express themselves verbally. However, traditional viva voce examinations' challenges include reliability, objectivity, content validity, time constraints, varying question difficulty levels, inconsistency in questioning among students, the influence of the "halo" effect, and issues with the test environment. Thus the study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Objective, Integrated, Clustered Examination Software (VOICES) compared to traditional viva voce methods. Using a mixed-method design with 103 students, questions were framed using VOICES software created by the National Informatics Center (NIC), Chhattisgarh State Center, Government of India, and students responded through voice messages. Faculty graded students based on personalized videos created by the app. Then, feedback was given, and a focused group discussion was conducted for the students. Traditional viva voce examinations were conducted as part of internal assessments, and the marks obtained from these assessments were compared to evaluate their effectiveness in comparison to the VOICES app. There was no significant difference in the marks obtained using both methods indicating that viva voce using an oral assessment app is equally effective. Students responded positively to the VOICES method. The formative oral assessment conducted through the use of the VOICES app successfully addresses the challenges typically associated with traditional viva voce examinations.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Traditional viva voce examination encounters challenges including reliability, objectivity, content validity, time constraints, varying question difficulty levels, inconsistency in questioning among students, the influence of the "halo" effect, and issues with the test environment. Formative oral assessment conducted through the use of the Objective, Integrated, Clustered Examination Software (VOICES) app developed by the National Informatics Center (NIC) successfully addresses the challenges typically associated with traditional viva voce examinations.

Perspective: Leveraging Electronic Health Record Data Within Food Is Medicine Program Evaluation: Considerations and Potential Paths Forward

Government, health care systems and payers, philanthropic entities, advocacy groups, nonprofit organizations, community groups, and for-profit companies are presently making the case for Food is Medicine (FIM) nutrition programs to become reimbursable within health care services. FIM researchers are working urgently to build evidence for FIM programs’ cost-effectiveness by showing improvements in health outcomes and health care utilization. However, primary collection of this data is costly, difficult to implement, and burdensome to participants. Electronic health records (EHRs) offer a promising alternative to primary data collection because they provide already-collected information from existing clinical care. A few FIM studies have leveraged EHRs to demonstrate positive impacts on biomarkers or health care utilization, but many FIM studies run into insurmountable difficulties in their attempts to use EHRs. The authors of this commentary serve as evaluators and/or technical assistance providers with the United States Department of Agriculture’s Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program National Training, Technical Assistance, Evaluation, and Information Center. They work closely with over 100 Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program Produce Prescription FIM projects, which, as of 2023, span 34 US states and territories. In this commentary, we describe recurring challenges related to using EHRs in FIM evaluation, particularly in relation to biomarkers and health care utilization. We also outline potential opportunities and reasonable expectations for what can be learned from EHR data and describe other (non-EHR) data sources to consider for evaluation of long-term health outcomes and health care utilization. Large integrated health systems may be best positioned to use their own data to examine outcomes of interest to the broader field.

Implementation of E-office: A Pragmatic Study on Employees Attitude in R&D Institutions of Power Sector in India

Eoffice is a technology that has emerged in India as open source software, and the National Informatics Centre (NIC) provides a comprehensive variety of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to make Eoffice practice and implementation more convenient for everyone. Because it serves as the backbone of the networking infrastructure, it has given outstanding services to all significant government organisations across India. To examine the relationships between various aspects of technology, their integration, and the provision of services to society, electronic office modules (EOMs) can be utilized in research contexts. The study is exploratory in nature and uses a structured questionnaire. Keeping in view the small population at 10% margin of error and 95% confidence level a sample size of [n=67] users of Eoffice application were determined using the Cochran formula. The questionnaires were distributed through online medium. Descriptive statistics are used to summarize the data collected using the SPSS Software. As part of an effort to better understand employee attitude toward Eoffice implementation, it has been found that employees are generally supportive of the initiative. It is possible that this attitude has played a key role in the success of the Eoffice implementation at Central Power Research Institute (CPRI). According to the confirmatory factor analysis, Eoffice adoption is influenced by both positive and negative attitudes. However, the positivity serves as a catalyst for embracing Eoffice and bringing together manufacturers, academics, and government research institutes on a single platform to accomplish this goal.

The main purpose of the current study is to reveal the effect of gender and marital status variables on teachers’ well-being levels. The databases named Higher Education Institution Thesis Center, ProQuest, EBSCOhost and Google Scholar, National Academic Network and Information Center (Academic Archive of Turkey, National Collective Catalogue, Journal Park Academic) were searched and 62 studies for the gender variable and 34 studies for the marital status variables were included in the scope of the meta-analysis. Sample sizes of the studies included in the research is as follows: according to the gender variable, sample size is 25088, and according to the marital status, sample size is 14705. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Version 2.2.064 (CMA) program was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analysis completed, it was observed that there was no publication bias in the individual studies in the study for all variables. As a result of the analysis made according to the random effects model, it was determined that the overall effect size of the gender variable (d=0.05) and the effect size of the marial status variabel (d=-0.12) on teachers’ well-being levels were weak and insignificant. As a result of moderator analyses for all variables, statistically significant inconclusive results have been achieved. When the findings of the research were evaluated in general, it was seen that the characteristics of teachers such as gender and marital status did not have an effect on teachers’ well-being levels or they were at a very weak level. When the effect of research characteristics on research findings is examined; it was seen that the type of grade, publication type, school type, teacher branch, the region where the research was conducted and the gender of the researcher did not have a moderator effect.

Novel Approach to Synchronize National Knowledge Network (NKN) of National Informatics Centre (NIC) Network with IST Over IoT Framework

The successful commissioning of the proposed methodology to synchronize the NIC-NKN in Delhi and Hyderabad with Indian Standard Time (IST) maintained by NPLI over NTP protocol over IoT framework is a significant accomplishment in the field of time synchronization. The proposed methodology utilizes an IoT framework along with a unique Stratum 1 NTP architecture that is supported by a pre-calibrated Rubidium frequency source. This architecture enables the establishment of stratum 1 synchronization at the two locations, thereby ensuring that the time is accurately synchronized with the NPLI maintained Indian Standard Time (IST). The successful implementation of this methodology has several benefits. Firstly, it ensures that the time at the NIC-NKN in Delhi and Hyderabad is accurate and synchronized with the Indian Standard Time (IST) maintained by NPLI.

Exploring the possibilities and challenges in developing the Japanese qualifications framework

PurposeThis study aims to examine the rationales for and obstacles to developing a national qualifications framework (NQF) in Japan. From a research perspective, it attempts to propose a model of a qualifications framework in the national context to provoke further political discussion in developing the Japanese Qualifications Framework (JQF).Design/methodology/approachTo propose a possible model of a qualifications framework in the Japanese context, this study employs a qualitative document analysis approach to known NQFs. Next, based on documents and the literature, including government data and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s Tokyo Convention (2011a, b), this study analyzes the motives and challenges in developing the JQF.FindingsJapanese motives to develop the JQF can be summarized in four conditions: (a) International expectations along with the Tokyo Convention and establishment of the National Information Center, (b) avoiding qualification holders’ disadvantages in mobility, (c) quality assurance of qualifications with a competence-based approach and (d) lifelong learning by promoting recognition of diverse learning. The challenges in developing the JQF are (a) fitness with the traditional employment system and (b) multiple stakeholders’ involvement. The current priority in developing an NQF in Japan is to make educational qualification information “visible” based on legal grounds, particularly entrance requirements, to facilitate mobility.Originality/valueThis study explores the possibility of the JQF by summarizing the background and roles of NQFs worldwide and clarifying the motives and challenges for developing the JQF. This study provides suggestions for the possible qualifications framework model in the Japanese context from academic and practical perspectives in Japan, where official discussions on establishing an NQF have not progressed. Ensuring the international compatibility of qualifications so that qualification holders can smoothly take the next step in their studies and employment is important.

Information potential to neutralize stressful phenomena among the Ukrainian population in a special period

The Russian-Ukrainian war has caused massive stress among the population of Ukraine. active work in the information space of Ukraine can be one of the ways to reduce such stressful effects, aimed at explaining the level of danger, reducing the emotional burden on the consciousness of citizens in the war time. In particular, libraries and other information centers should be actively involved in this work. Information resources, primarily electronic, contributing to boosting the application of useful information of subconscious significance, and having the potential for development in the future became significant in the current russian-ukrainian confrontation. With the proper transformation of these materials into thematic information items, such a resource should be effectively used to ensure the psychological stability of society during periods of serious trials, and neutralize negative effects of stressful situations. Stress factors create significant problems for society in the terms of military confrontation, prolonged information war between our country and the russian rederation. And it is library funds and their information potential can actively provide anti-stress assistance to citizens in the modern hybrid war. Librarians, who are on the front-line fighting against information aggression, should effectively cooperate and communicate with librarians working in scientific, sectoral and large regional archives. Library funds, including printed, should be deeply studied, and those that best meet the needs to unite modern society and the fight against stress should be selected. Accordingly, information and analytical bulletins with the content of available funds and topics that help neutralize stressful moods in society should be prepared. Such data will constitute the information potential of strategic communications of the national information space. National information centers, in cooperation with scientific and other centers, containing publicly significant information, should create conditions for convenient use of national information space that meets current needs of society: strengthening national unity, using the national information resource in combating stresses caused by war. Key words: information resource, stressful situations, hybrid war, subconscious, mental influences, electronic information technologies, national unity.

EVALUATION OF COVID-19 CONTACT TRACING APPLICATION OF INDIA – “AAROGYA SETU” USING SYSTEM USABILITY SCALE.

Health is multi-dimensional, determined by physical, mental, environmental, social, political, cultural factors, etc., inuenced by various emerging and ongoing viral infections and diseases. COVID-19 is the name of existing novel viral pneumonia which is coined by WHO in 2020 whereas the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses suggested this as “Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus-2” based on phylogenetic and taxonomic analysis of pandemic novel coronavirus. Due to its fatal clinical symptoms, WHO has declared it a pandemic outbreak. To combat this, “AAROGYA SETU”, a contact tracing app, developed and approved by the Indian government and National Informatics Centre, warns the users if they have crossed paths with any infected person recently. The critical review of this application helps to evaluate its potency in terms of its usability, learnability, and acceptability amongst the users using a system usability scoring system (SUS). This paper shows how such applications can be tested using SUS based out of technical glitches, client's understanding and acceptability to their social expectations, in proactively reaching out to and informing the users of the app regarding risks, best practices, and relevant advisories pertaining to the containment of COVID-19.

Comparison of Accident Databases and Analysis of Past Industrial Accidents in the Chemical Process Industry

Despite India being home to some of the worst chemical industry disasters, there is no proper accident reporting and analysis mechanism. The National Informatics Centre of the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) presented an online accident database called CAIRS to assist Past Accident Analysis (PAA). This paper compares CAIRS with major accident databases widely used by safety professionals. The parameters considered for compassion are scope, accessibility, method of data collection, quality, and the frequency of reporting. Past accident analysis showed that the total number of reported events is more or less steady and the number of major accidents is decreasing marginally in European countries, whereas in India only a few states report accidents using the CAIRS platform. The analysis raised serious concerns about the monitoring of reported information in the Indian database. At present, the information available in this database is not reliable and any conclusion based on this information can be misleading. Suggestions are offered to enhance the efficacy of the Indian accident database.

IndiCleft – A web-based standardized research tool and resource for cleft anomalies

Introduction: In India, approximately 35,000 new cleft patients are born every year. Many patients receive suboptimum, improper, little, or no treatment. The cumulative burden of cleft care is up to 1 million cases. The spectrum of problems is varied, the caseload is enormous, and the logistics of treatment delivery are complicated. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) task force project was launched in 2012 to evaluate the status of cleft care in India and develop strategies to provide comprehensive cleft care through a dynamic multidisciplinary and multidimensional tool. ICMR task force project (2012–14) was conducted in Delhi, and the National Capital Region reported that at least 50% of studied cases had complex and multiple treatment needs. The needs identified were related to surgical, orthodontic, dental, ENT and Speech, rehabilitation of mutilated dentition, and various psychological disturbances among patients with Cleft anomalies. Aim: The aim of this study was to develop and test web-based application to create a system for national data of patients with cleft anomalies and digitize the patient records in a standardized preagreed format. Methods and Results: Corresponding to contemporary digital technologies and evolutionary improvements in data collection, web-based data collection instrument, including text, photographs, X-rays, and audio files, was considered the most appropriate. The experts from varied domains in consultation with ICMR and National Informatics Centre evolved a web-based data collection instrument which is named the “IndiCleft tool.” The tool has been tested and used over the years and is presently being upgraded to dynamic version for a national data and patient care registry. Conclusion: The present article describes the process of the development of a “dynamic” web-based data collection instrument. The IndiCleft tool is the national resource on cleft data in India.

Epidemiological Characteristics of the COVID-19 Pandemic During the First and Second Waves in Chhattisgarh, Central India: A Comparative Analysis.

BackgroundThere is a scarcity of reports of comparative analysis between the first and second waves of the pandemic from any part of India. This article aims to comprehensively investigate the epidemiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the course of the pandemic in the state of Chhattisgarh, central India.MethodologyA comparative epidemiological analysis of the first and second waves of COVID-19 across Chhattisgarh was conducted on the vital parameters of total tests performed, cases diagnosed, age and gender distribution, case fatality ratio (CFR), and mitigation strategy reported by the state and central government health agencies using the data from Indian Council of Medical Research and National Informatics Centre portals.ResultsThe second wave was shorter than the first wave but the absolute number of cases increased by 2.4 times and deaths by 2.7 times. There was a significant increase in cases per million, deaths per million, and test positivity rate. The hospitalization rate and test per case ratio dropped in the second wave from 33 to 20 and from 12.6 to 7.2, respectively. Both infection and deaths were higher among males in both the waves (p < 0.001). CFR increased from 1.2% in the first wave to 1.4% in the second wave (p < 0.001; odds ratio = 1.14 (1.1-1.19)). Increased mortality was seen in all ages except the young (≤20 years) and the old (>60 years).ConclusionsThe significantly high number of cases and deaths during the second wave provides evidence to undertake preparedness measures for mitigating any future waves. Regular surveillance, monitoring, and analysis of epidemiological data are pertinent for continued situational awareness.

Gender Gap in the Authorship of Gynecology and Obstetrics Literature in Turkey: An Evaluation From 1995 to 2020

Although it is not the only output of academic productivity and representation, authorship can be considered as an important outcome. The present study aims to explore obstetrics and gynecology literature in Turkey, to assess the representation of women in academic journals as the author, of the male gender, and the inter-annual variation of article types. The journals which were indexed in the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, National Academic Network and Information Center’s Turkish journal index in 2020, were included in the study. The volumes of the journals in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020, investigated online. Year of the articles, gender of the first author, gender of the last author, gender of corresponder author, number of female authors, number of male authors were coded.The variables of year, first author gender, last author gender, correspondent author gender, number of female authors, number of male authors were coded. A total of 1312 articles from 7 journals were analyzed. The gender inequality in the position of the first writer has been closed by years, and the gender inequality in the position of the writer responsible for correspondence has disappeared; however, there was no statistically significant change in the position of the last author from 1995 to 2020. In order to eliminate the current inequality in leadership positions, the clinical and educational work should be shared among the academicians in a balanced way, work environments where work life balance can be achieved should be created, sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination should not be tolerated.
