Orthodontics Simulations as Teaching Tools

Traditional teaching methods in orthodontics employ static photos posing immense challenges as the learner is unable to conceptualise the changes in different planes that affect final tooth positions in the upper and lower jaws following treatment. Furthermore, the protracted treatment time of orthodontics ranges from 12 months (simple cases) to 36 months (complex cases) thus adding yet another dimension “patient growth” especially children often referred to as 4th Dimension of Time. Previous work at UQ with SBLi (Scenario Based Learning interactive https://youtu.be/PUIanIl5CFc?si=vDf8JwFjHixtzol7) (Naser-ud-Din, 2015) has shown that creating online teaching tools incorporating multimedia to address the concepts of dynamic change and is impactful for student learning on demand with global accessibility. Online asynchronous learning have three key strengths: firstly, flexibility for updating with contemporary software by learning designers and academics; secondly, ease for formative assessment for large cohorts and thirdly, international presence for potential commercialization. Feedback at UQ for postgraduate orthodontic students was overwhelmingly positive as students found interactivity highly engaging and appreciated the self-regulated aspect of it akin to that found in other publications (Hakami, 2021; Khoo et al., 2023; Naser-ud-Din, 2016). However, simulation creation is expensive (Kröger et al., 2017) and thus, it is essential to explore cost-effective teaching tools that are sustainable with the dental industry partners and easily translated into clinical practice. With advent of 3D simulations in Orthodontics, current literature is limited (Ho et al., 2022; Karanth et al., 2024; Sipiyaruk et al., 2023) and future best practices will require initiatives to enhance teaching recommendations. Moreover, LEAN an essential component for success in major industries who observer consistent success such as in aviation, and other professions have added value of efficiency, effectiveness, convenience and comfort. Hallmarks to improve outcomes and safety. The aim of this project is to complete 5 essential orthodontic chapters for the Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) students at MDS in (years 2-4) by introducing 3D simulations for orthodontic treatments start to finish; embedded in H5P teaching assessment tool. At present, limited number of such modules have been created with original clinical cases by the primary investigator (SN). Interactive online digital assets are valuable and need to be based on sound principles of Heutagogy for self-directed learning. Furthermore, LEAN foundation creates effectiveness and efficiency of delivery of core content. Essentially this project is aligned with Advancing students education strategy 2023-30 of the UoM P-9 “remove barriers to innovation and forge new partnership models between professional and academic”. At the time of writing there is lack of integrated 3D simulations for education in Orthodontics, thus addressing a gap to create interactive learning environments that are translated to clinical practice in dentistry. Thus utilizing in future CADCAM (Computer assisted Design Computer Assisted Manufacture) with efficiency and confidence for the graduate learner. The CADCAM tech is now widely incorporated by industry partners in dental technologies into mainstream Dentistry providing precision and speed. Refinement of these three modules will pave way as huge potential for commercialization under the banner of UoM with InnovateEd in near future. Moreover, the LEAN will assist in providing future sustainability.

Employment of young people with disabilities: The potential of social partnership of universities, municipalities and the labor market of Ukraine.

This study analyzed the existing global experience of university and labor market partnerships concerning the employment of youth with disabilities. It was found that current cooperation models are implemented locally, in a fragmented manner, and are limited to interactions between universities and large enterprises. The research aimed to explore the current state of meeting the needs of students with disabilities in terms of providing educational services and employment opportunities and to analyze the interaction between universities, municipalities, and the labor market to improve employment opportunities for young people with disabilities. The study considered a survey of three target groups from different regions of Ukraine (105 students with disabilities, 321 university faculty members, and 102 enterprise managers) conducted to study the current state of needs satisfaction in providing educational services and employing people with disabilities. The findings indicated a lack of coordination among stakeholders, an absence of systematization, and organization in addressing the issue of improving the employment of youth with disabilities. The research enabled the identification of existing and desired connections between the subjects of social partnership. A social partnership model between universities, municipalities, and the labor market was developed to improve the employment of youth with disabilities. The study results are promising, as implementing the social partnership model will broadly impact society.

Downscaling EU bioeconomy policy for national implementation

This paper examines how EU bioeconomy strategies are adapted and implemented at the national level, using Ireland as a case study. Through the application of a Narrative Policy Framework, this study analyses how national bioeconomy policy aligns with EU objectives and how such policy addresses institutional capacity, policy coherence, and sustainable development. The findings reveal a significant misalignment between the EU's ambitious bioeconomy targets and the realities of implementation at the national level. It highlights how primary industries are often underrepresented in policy-making processes, yet are expected to meet high innovation standards without evidence of adequate support. The paper highlights gaps in governance mechanisms, partnership models, and sustainability approaches, particularly in addressing the socio-economic dimensions of sustainability. These gaps risk perpetuating existing inequalities and failing to meet sustainability targets. The research provides a critical analysis of the disconnect between EU bioeconomy policy aspirations and national-level implementation, offering insights into the structural barriers that hinder effective policy transposition. The study calls for more tailored policy support, clearer governance frameworks, and deeper engagement with local stakeholders to ensure the bioeconomy transition is both inclusive and sustainable. Future research is recommended to explore cross-national comparisons to improve the adaptability and implementation of bioeconomy policies across the EU.

Enter the School Online Promoter for Online Course Success

Often schools are unable to offer a wide curriculum at the Pre-tertiary level (16-18 year olds) because of small cohorts or limited finance to employ the full-time specialist. Some schools, however, have incorporated alternative online instruction instead of conventional direct instruction. However, these online Pre-tertiary learners have to negotiate with working in an unfamiliar virtual working environment, lack of sustained motivation, and the sense of being anonymous and not accountable in any meaningful way. Using data based on 20 interviews with international Pre-tertiary students, school staff, and online provider administrative staff, we propose the Online Partnership Model that has the potential to address these motivational and accountability challenges. In this model, the online provider formally trains and continually works together with an “Online promoter” who is a designated member of the school’s staff that is in regular face-to-face contact with the online student. The findings indicate that the motivational role of the Online promoter is welcomed by students, schools, and the online provider as being crucially supportive to student motivational well-being in the virtual environment. With such support, online delivery could well be a viable means of enabling schools to widen their curriculum without having to employ additional staff. For schools, this means that they can offer more specialized subjects (for example, Economics, Psychology, Film Studies, Mandarin) in their curricula where the small number of students does not justify employing a specialist teacher.

Cohesion Policy – The Litmus Test of the European Future

Europe is the winner of the Cohesion Policy. It is vital that the model of shared management, multi-level governance, and partnership remains the guiding principle of the Cohesion Policy beyond 2027. Subsidiarity and a place-based approach are crucial; we can’t afford to lose the territorial dimension. There is no future for this policy without a strong role of cities and regions. If you try to replace it with a centralized instrument as a top-down Recovery and Resilience Facility, you will destroy the very essence of the Cohesion Policy. The Cohesion Policy is working on the ground, and it must be maintained, in a modernized way. The Cohesion Policy must continue to be the single policy to address the challenges inherent to cohesion in Europe. That includes supporting a just transition in all regions and supporting all territories so that they can take advantage of the single market. That includes supporting all regions so that the EU can be more competitive at a global level. Cohesion Policy is a solution, not a problem!

A Review of Palm Oil Plasma Land Conflicts from the Perspective of Agrarian Reform: Analysis of Decision Number 3661 K/PDT/2019

Abstract: The government has addressed disparities in palm oil plantation ownership through the partnership model of the Nucleus Estate Smallholder Plantation (PIR-BUN) using a core-plasma scheme as outlined in Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 1986, aiming to achieve agrarian reform. However, in practice, the nucleus-plasma scheme has led to land conflicts and issues, one of which occurred in Teluk Bakung Village, West Kalimantan. Therefore, to ensure the effective implementation of the nucleus-plasma scheme in the future and the realization of agrarian reform, it is necessary to investigate the causes of plasma land conflicts in Teluk Bakung Village and the impacts of these conflicts on agrarian reform efforts. This study adopts a normative juridical method, examining secondary data from literature and primary data from Supreme Court Decision No. 3661 K/PDT/2019 concerning PT PALM’s default in profit-sharing on plasma land. The findings indicate that plasma land conflicts arise from differing interpretations of the 20% provision for community plantation development, inadequacies in institutional support and processes for the PIR-BUN program, and a lack of transparency from the nucleus company. These conflicts ultimately negatively impact the socio-economic aspects of plasma farmers in Teluk Bakung Village and hinder agrarian reform efforts, particularly in the region. Keywords: Agrarian Reform, PIR-BUN, Plasma Land

The partnership pattern is the umbrella for all plantation business collaboration between core and plasma companies. The plasma core business partnership system for oil palm farmers is an effort to improve the welfare of farmers. The aim of the research is to determine partnership patterns, the influence of stakeholder roles, stakeholder characters, and partnership models on KUD performance and farmer welfare. The sample in the research was 81 oil palm farmers with data analysis using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) analysis techniques. Research results Partnership patterns used by PT. Makin Group with Jatiwaringin oil palm farmers provides welfare and benefits for both parties, with a direct influence on the character of stakeholders and the role of stakeholders with p-value ≤ sig 0.05 directly influencing KUD performance. KUD performance and the role of stakeholders p-value ≤ sig 0.05 have a direct influence on farmer welfare. The indirect influence of stakeholder character, stakeholder role, and KUD performance has a p-value smaller than the sig level of 0.05 which has an indirect effect on farmer welfare. The plasma core partnership model in Jatiwaringin Village applies a partnership model managed by the Village Unit Cooperative (KUD).

Evaluation of the Beneficial Parenting Partnership Model Assimilation in Parent-Infant Centers

Abstract Background The Beneficial Parenting Partnership (BPP) model is being implemented in Parent-Infant Centers (PIC) across Israel to improve the partnership skills of PIC nurses when working with parents, promote child development, and enhance parental well-being. This initiative is being led by the Israeli Ministry of Health, Goshen NGO, and Lotem company and is supported by the Yad Hanadiv and Bernard van Lear foundations. Methods The first data collection (T1) was held from December 2022 to January 2023 among 706 parents of children aged two weeks to 36 months (M = 8.17 months, SD = 7.48) who visited one of 18 PICs. Research assistants approached the parents and asked for their agreement to fill in the study questionnaire. Of these, 328 parents agreed to participate in the follow-up study (T2) held in January-February 2024 using a telephone survey. Differences in the parent’s satisfaction, visit experience, and parental well-being were assessed using parried sample T-tests. A linear regression model was calculated to assess the factors predicting the increase in the parent’s visit satisfaction. Results Significant differences were measured between T1 and T2 in parental satisfaction (M = 4.51 and 4.71 retrospectively, P < 0.001), parental positive visit experience (M = 4.58 and 4.68 retrospectively, P = 0.019), and parental well-being (M = 3.81 and 3.97 retrospectively, P < 0.001). Findings suggest a marked improvement in satisfaction, visit experience, and reported well-being after a year of BPP model assimilation among PIC nurses. The regression model, explaining 42% of the variance in increased parental satisfaction, indicated that a higher increase could be predicted by a higher increase in positive visit experience and a higher trust level in the PIC nurse at T1. Conclusions The BPP model’s assimilation among Israeli PIC nurses was successful, resulting in improved parent experience, satisfaction, and well-being. Key messages • The Beneficial Parenting Partnership model is well-suited for implementation among nurses working with parents of babies and toddlers to promote collaborative nurse-parent communication. • During routine meetings at Parent-Infant Centers, nurses can act as a catalyst for promoting parental well-being.

Rethinking electronic health records implementation in Germany: a value-based health system approach

Abstract Problem The Digital Act (Digital-Gesetz) in Germany stipulates that electronic health records (elektronische Patientenakte; ePA) will be set up for all persons under the statutory health insurance (SHI) in 2025; those who do not wish to use ePA can object. This opt-out approach aims to increase the coverage of ePA among the SHI population to 80%, which has been ca. 1.5% since its launch in 2021. According to law, ePA is managed solely by the patient and does not replace the conventional patient file stored in the medical practice management system. Without appropriate measures, it is likely that multiple parallel patient files are created, with the risk of ePA being side-lined over time. Description The Ministry of Health aims to make ePA the central platform for patients’ healthcare provision throughout their life. With ePA, patients should receive useful information about their healthcare as well as reminders and tailor-made medical advice. For healthcare providers, ePA should become an essential part of the healthcare process with containing reliable information and supporting the treatment. However, understanding ePA as more than a digital health solution, factors beyond technical interoperability must be considered for its successful implementation. Results The full potential of ePA and its positive impact on healthcare to tackle the fragmentation issue can only be realised when it is viewed as a helpful tool of collaboration for all involved parties. The existing regulatory frameworks in Germany create disincentives for greater integration, coordination, and interconnection, with each sector following its own reimbursement system and reinforcing the division between them. This contradicts with the idea of ePA fostering patient-centredness and inter-sectoral collaboration. Lessons How a health system functions and how health services are governed and remunerated have a substantial impact on the healthcare providers’ acceptance of digital services. Key messages • Changes in the governance of health systems may be necessary when implementing electronic health records to bring person-centred care and overcome the separation of in-patient and out-patient sectors. • Rather than a paternalistic approach, the relationship between the patient and healthcare provider should move towards a partnership model, based on the motivation of keeping individuals healthy.

Issues and Challenges of the Digitisation of the Capital Market in India

Governance involves the use of political, economic, and administrative power to manage a nation's affairs and ensure citizens' rights. E-governance utilizes electronic means for efficient, transparent public service delivery. India's National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) aims to enhance governance through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, establishing over 100,000 Common Service Centres (CSCs). These CSCs act as delivery hubs for public and private services, addressing regional development while fostering private sector and community participation for sustainable livelihoods. Mitigating the challenges of digitization requires raising user awareness and advancing the regulatory system through the use of cybersecurity practices

Primary Care Clinician Perspectives on Team-Based Welcome Video Visits.

Synchronous virtual visits aid in longitudinal primary care and fulfill unmet needs for patients and clinicians. Virtual visits are widely accepted for specialty consultation and follow-up; however, novel systems-based programs and processes may support earlier engagement. Evaluate primary care clinician attitudes and perspectives on patient information obtained team-based, nurse-led virtual visits ahead of face to face visits. Study occurred in a large, regional, multispecialty group practice in Eastern Pennsylvania. Participants included primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Virtual visits are a component of a large, unified network strategy called the Patient Partnership Model which incorporates technology and remote care to achieve improved access and patient satisfaction. Survey of participating primary care clinicians assessing impact of at-hand medical history, social history, and medications on delivering face to face primary care. Weighted mean of satisfied participants was 3.61 on a 5-point Likert scale. Participants reported satisfaction and acceptability of team-based virtual visits, noting high satisfaction with information exchange and actionability of notes. Participants reported ongoing opportunities to enhance medication reconciliation. Virtual visits continue to evolve and may serve varying roles in primary care.

Practices and Challenges on the Relationship to Support the Goals of Impact Ranked Universities in the Philippines

This study investigated the collaborative efforts of Philippine Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) with NGOs, government agencies, and other stakeholders in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By leveraging their academic capabilities, PHEIs ranked by the Times Higher Education Impact Ranking played a crucial role in addressing global challenges through a multi-sectoral approach. This study emphasized the importance of collaborating with regional NGOs and government agencies for policy-making and multi-sectoral dialogue in promoting participatory decision-making. It also highlighted the significance of international collaborations in standardizing data gathering and sharing best practices, thus enhancing the quality and impact of research related to public policy and sustainable development. PHEIs' engagement with NGOs was pivotal in mobilizing resources for community-targeted projects, including disaster risk reduction, health and well-being, educational outreach, and environmental conservation. These initiatives contributed to immediate community needs and built long-term resilience and sustainability. Findings revealed that PHEIs were not only centers of learning but also key players in the global sustainable development agenda. Their ability to bridge knowledge gaps, coupled with the operational reach of NGOs and the policy influence of government bodies, formed a powerful force for societal transformation. As the world progressed towards the 2030 Agenda, it was essential for PHEIs to strengthen partnerships, expand research scope, and enhance community engagement practices. This would not only advance the SDGs but also shape an inclusive and resilient sustainable future. The study called for continued innovation in partnership models and inclusive strategies that engaged all societal sectors, ensuring substantial and measurable progress towards the SDGs. The ongoing commitment of PHEIs would be crucial in achieving a sustainable world for future generations.

A partnership composition project between professional composers, a university music education program, and a comprehensive school extended music program

In this Finnish-based study, professional composers ( n = 2), student music teachers ( n = 6), eighth-grade comprehensive school pupils studying in an extended music program ( n = 22), and university and school music educators ( n = 2) were brought together to pilot a partnership model for teaching and learning music composition. The one-year project offered (a) a composition pedagogy course for student music teachers, including lectures by composers and a seminar and teacher training in a comprehensive school, and (b) collaborative composition workshops for eighth-grade pupils under the supervision of student music teachers, professional composers, and a school music teacher. In Part 1, we conducted a survey to investigate pupils’ experiences relating to their creative musical agencies and basic psychological needs. In Part 2, we used a phenomenographic approach to examine educators’ perceptions of student music teachers’ development as composition teachers. In Part 3, we used phenomenography to study the student music teachers’ experiences of their development as composition teachers. The results indicate that (a) the musical agency and basic psychological needs of the eighth-grade pupils were supported; (b) the educators succeeded in planning and implementing the pilot course, taking into account both the social and pedagogical aspects of collaborative composition; and (c) the student music teachers felt that their attitudes toward teaching music composition changed and that their confidence increased during the project. We recommend future modifications to the present educational model and consider its potential implications for music education in the Finnish context.

Public–Private Partnership Model in Delivering Quality Health Care and Medical Education - An Enduring Success Story for the Past Seven Decades

Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are integral to the National Health Mission (NHM). Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Mangalore, was the first private institution in India to embrace the PPP model way back in 1953. The then Government of Madras permitted KMC Mangalore to partner with the 2 district hospitals – the Government Wenlock and the Lady Goschen Hospitals. For almost seven decades, KMC Mangalore has been using the clinical facilities at District Wenlock and Lady Goschen hospitals to provide quality health care and also train the Undergraduate and Postgraduate students of KMC. The Manipal experiment is a shining example of public–private collaboration to provide quality accessible health care to everyone, which is in line with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 and its targets.

Student Led Observations for Course Improvement (SLOCI)

As universities strive to enhance course delivery and the student experience, typical end-of-semester course evaluations have been demonstrated to provide insufficient and potentially biased detail for course improvement and innovation. The Student Led Observations for Course Improvement (SLOCI) team at The University of Queensland aims to provide high-quality student experience data through a student-led approach. The team comprises current undergraduate university students who have a basic understanding of pedagogical strategies and methods of evaluation, bridging the gap between students and academics. SLOCI utilises a course partnership model to work with academics to identify key research questions that can direct and inform a process of real-time feedback. Since 2018, SLOCI has conducted 48 single-semester course partnerships and nine research partnerships focussed on other aspects of the student experience. The student experience data generated from these collaborations has underpinned improvements resulting in higher student engagement and better learning outcomes.
