Understanding and reflecting on teacher development of private colleges and universities - A case of Guangdong University of Science and Technology

Private colleges and universities have become an important part of higher education system in China, but most of the full-time teachers in private colleges and universities are graduates of master’s degree. They are young, willing to study, and have new ideas and the spirit of a pathbreaker. What is lacking is that they do not master the laws of education and scientific research methods. Moreover, they are short of the practice of teaching and training of scientific research. In this paper, we proposed the countermeasures of teacher development that the government, university and teachers should do in Guangdong University of Science and Technology.

At present, the growth of exports of agricultural products, raw materials and foodstuffs is a strategic direction of the export policy of any state. An increase in the export of agricultural and food products is facilitated by its stimulation through an effective organizational and economic mechanism. One of the factors limiting the development of exports of agricultural and food products is the high level of competition in the global agri-food market. The low level of competitiveness of agricultural and food products reduces the effectiveness of exports, therefore, an increase in its level is possible, firstly, through state support for exports, secondly, technical and technological modernization of agricultural production, and thirdly, the development of export infrastructure responsible for promoting domestically produced products to world markets. The efficiency of export operations is based on the terms of lending, the organization of insurance operations, the introduction of preferential taxation and other types of services. Low-cost operations play a significant role in improving the organization of exports. These include -legal provision, a change in the direction of simplifying the customs clearance of the necessary documents. Also important are information support and consultations, reduction of technical barriers, funding of scientific research and personnel training of specialists, involved in export operations. Thus, it is possible to increase the production of high-quality domestic agro-industrial products with a high level of competitiveness, intended for export, only if an formed export policy.

Visualization and Data Analysis of Multi-Factors for the Scientific Research Training of Graduate Students

With the change of graduate education from quantity expansion to quality promotion, how to improve the quality of graduate cultivation has aroused wide concern. However, existing scientific quantitative methods tend to investigate the results of graduate training, with a lack of attention to the multidimensional data during the training process. Thus, exploratory analysis of multidimensional data in the graduate training process and accurate grasp of the key process factors affecting graduate academic competence is an indispensable task for achieving the stated goals of graduate education. In this paper, a visual analytic system of graduate training data is proposed to help users implement in-depth analysis based on the graduate training process. First, a questionnaire is designed about the training process to identify multidimensional data timely and accurately. Then, a series of data mining methods are utilized to further detect key factors in the training process, which will be used to make academic predictions for first-year graduates. Meanwhile, an interactive visual analytic system has been developed to help users understand and analyze the key factors affecting the graduate training process. Based on the results of the visual analysis, effective suggestions will be provided for graduate students, supervisors, and university administrators to improve the quality of graduate education.

CUPT Physical Innovation Talent Cultivation Under the CDIO Model

With the enactment and implementation of the National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020) in March 2010, the requirements of quality education is the strategic theme of education reform and development and insisting on ability as the priority and other requirements have put forward clear requirements for the cultivation of talents in our universities. [1] On this basis, researchers from some universities in China specializing in physics have carefully studied the concept and various aspects of the IYPT (International Young Physicists' Tournament), fully realizing that this form of competition is different from the traditional scientific research training in our universities and has positive significance in improving the creative awareness, innovation, collaboration and practical skills of university students specializing in physics.

Promoting HIV-Related Behavioral and Social Science Research Training in Africa: A Case of Uganda.

HIV/AIDS is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Several gaps in HIV/AIDS care persist despite advancements in bio-medical care approaches. Socio-behavioral approaches have been identified to have the capacity to plug these gaps. This calls for HIV- related behavioral and social science research (BSSR) capacity building. Adopting BSSR in HIV may provide insights into the HIV care continuum that is contextual and cost-effective and reveal the missing layer in the fight against HIV on the African continent. The Makerere University Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (Mak-BSSR) program has responded to the call to strengthen capacity in BSSR. This commentary is a call to promote, support, and sustain the collaborations needed to integrate behavioral and social science research into HIV in SSA.

The Laboratory Intelligent Management System Using NB-IoT and Artificial Intelligence Technology

For the traditional laboratory manual management, there is a need for laboratory managers. The managers cannot keep abreast of the laboratory conditions, and forget to shut down and close the windows, causing waste of electricity and equipment damage. Based on NB-IoT and artificial intelligence, a laser intelligent management system is developed using technologies such as network communication, intranet, automatic control, artificial intelligence, and software. Through this system, administrators can grasp the situation of the laboratory in real time, realize the intelligent management of the laboratory, improve the scientific management of the laboratory, improve the work efficiency of laboratory technicians, and better play the laboratory as an important platform for scientific research training in colleges and universities. This paper aims to develop an intelligent laboratory management system based on NB-IoT and AI technology. Through this system, the manager can grasp the situation of the laboratory in real time, realize the intelligent management of the laboratory, and better play the role of the laboratory as an important platform for scientific research and talent training.

Culturally and contextually adapted co-teaching: a case study of collaboration with the diaspora in undergraduate STEM education

ABSTRACT Although the crucial role of the diaspora in scientific research and postgraduate training in Africa has been well documented, much less is known about their role in undergraduate STEM education. In this case study, we reflect on our experiences of i) adapting the content of training in order to complement local expertise and needs; and ii) adopting active learning pedagogies in an undergraduate laboratory workshop a during a short-term diaspora fellowship. For diaspora scholars, we find that it is important to align foreign and local curricular objectives at the program and course level, to adopt and adapt local models and reagents to the extent possible, and to leverage expertise in host institutions to co-teach courses. Undergraduate participants valued the active learning approach and hands-on training with equipment. A case is made for academic diaspora to begin to consider undergraduate teaching as a high-return investment when collaborating in the global south.

MOTIVATIONAL ASPECTS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Professional training of students of higher education institutions involves various activities, the main of which is educational. In addition, of the significant importence is scientific research work, which necessitates the development of appropriate motivation. The aim of the article is to study the motivational aspects of scientific research activity of students of higher education institutions. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of psychological and pedagogical literature − used to clarify the nature and structure of the concept of motivation and the peculiarities of the formation of students' motivation for scientific research work; generalizations - to formulate the author's conclusions. It is established that the motive is what determines a person's desire for a specific, not for any other goal. Motives determine the motivating reasons that determine the purposeful human activity. The leading role in the development of personality and its effective activity is played by motives related to the work itself (professional interests, satisfaction with the process and result of work, overcoming difficulties, the emergence and reinforcement of positive self-esteem). There are types of motivation − positive and negative. The classification of motives of professionally oriented scientific research activity of students (internal and external) is carried out. Among the external motives there are: social (professional development; responsibility for the work; the importance of scientific research work in professional activities; the desire to benefit from their work) and personal (material well-being; career growth; respect for colleagues). Internal motives include: cognitive interests (interest in the studied objects and phenomena; interest in the problem-solving process and scientific research activities), as well as aspirations (aspirations to overcome difficulties; aspirations to intellectual development, focus on successful scientific work). The conditions that have a positive effect on the development of students' motivation for scientific research activity are determined: their mastery of theoretical knowledge in the field of scientific and research skills, awareness of their role in the process of professional activity; ensuring a high degree of student independence; productive interaction between students and teachers and a high level of scientific research competence of teachers who participate in the process of scientific research training of students.

Requiem for a dream

Aim: A look back at the successful history of scientific research in the field of home affairs prior to the establishment of law enforcement science, namely the theoretical and applied research carried out at the Law Enforcement Research Institute, established in 1991 at the Ministry of the Interior.Methodology: Review of the research carried out at the Institute during the existence of the Law Enforcement Research Institute, as well as the presentation to what extent the results of these research contributed to the later acceptance and accreditation of law enforcement science.Findings: The activities of the Law Enforcement Research Institute of the Ministry of the Interior, and later of the Police College’s Institute for Leadership Training and Research between 1991 and 1998, are worth remembering as an important legacy of the research institute’s past. It can be stated that without the research carried out at the Law Enforcement Research Institute at that time, the academic recognition of law enforcement science could not have taken place, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the Doctoral School of Law Enforcement.Value: We consider it a value that scientific research and leadership training took place in the above-mentioned research institute for several years, as a result of which the latest domestic and international results of law enforcement theory were always present in the training, and researchers could learn about the state of practice in leadership courses, they could check the reception of their work in the law enforcement services and also learn from the criticisms. Several aspirations that were first articulated during the regime change have become a reality. For example, the elevation of higher law enforcement education to university level, the establishment of master’s degrees, the strengthening of the acceptance of law enforcement science, the increasing exploration of sources of law enforcement history, and the appearance of all these results in the operation of the Hungarian Law Enforcement Society.

The Impact of a Planned Strategy of Early Scientific Research Training on Medical Students’ Research Productivity

Student Research and Innovation Program (SRIP) is one of the major training programmes and is broadly used to promote students’ ability of scientific research. However, the exact impact of a planned strategy of early SRIP on the research productivity of medical students remains unknown. Here we conducted a complete and reliable questionnaire survey to investigate the situation of early SRIP in improving the research interests and the academic index was used to evaluate the research productivity in medical students. The results showed that more than half of medical students at Ningbo University School of Medicine participated in SRIPs in junior grades. Personal interest was a major motive and selective criteria for SRIP. Meanwhile, SRIP was found to be self-managed and well arranged in medical students. Interestingly, early scientific research training benefited students in both academic and non-academic achievements. The statistical analysis showed that the freshman participants yielded the most productive academic achievements. Additionally, the planned SRIP is considered useful, challengeable, and supportive for medical students. These findings reveal the potential value of the wider implementation of early SRIP throughout the school years in enhancing the research ability of medical students.

Research on Teaching Reform of College Student Training Mode Based on Engineering Project Economic Evaluation of Driving Behavior with Internet of Vehicles Data

Practice is one of the essential teaching links in application-oriented professional teaching in engineering colleges. Reasonable design of practical teaching mode has an important influence on the development of scientific research activities and training of applied talents. In order to better experience the learning combined college student teaching mode, the analysis and mining based on the Internet of Vehicles data is taken as the research scene. Theoretical research and engineering verification of drivers’ driving behavior economy are carried out by using the learning method of theoretical research under the guidance of teachers and engineering practice under the guidance of enterprises. An economic evaluation model and energy saving potential calculation method based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process are established, and the model is verified and improved in engineering practice. Among them, the analysis of personalized characteristics of driver behavior indicators shows that there are obvious differences in individual preference characteristics, generally manifested as fast acceleration and deceleration, low speed driving, gear mismatch. In addition, some drivers’ bad driving behavior has an energy saving potential of up to 4.98%. The results show that the combination of school theory research and enterprise engineering practice has positive effects on the development of students’ scientific research and the cultivation of applied talents that contribute to the development of enterprises.

Challenges in large-scale bioinformatics projects

Biological and biomedical research is increasingly conducted in large, interdisciplinary collaborations to address problems with significant societal impact, such as reducing antibiotic resistance, identifying disease sub-types, and identifying genes that control for drought tolerance in plants. Many of these projects are data driven and involve the collection and analysis of biological data at a large-scale. As a result, life-science projects, which are frequently diverse, large and geographically dispersed, have created unique challenges for collaboration and training. We examine the communication and collaboration challenges in multidisciplinary research through an interview study with 20 life-science researchers. Our results show that both the inclusion of multiple disciplines and differences in work culture influence collaboration in life science. Using these results, we discuss opportunities and implications for designing solutions to better support collaborative tasks and workflows of life scientists. In particular, we show that life science research is increasingly conducted in large, multi-institutional collaborations, and these large groups rely on “mutual respect” and collaboration. However, we found that the interdisciplinary nature of these projects cause technical language barriers and differences in methodology affect trust. We use these findings to guide our recommendations for technology to support life science. We also present recommendations for life science research training programs and note the necessity for incorporating training in project management, multiple language, and discipline culture.

Analysis of the Present Situation of the Cultivation of Scientific Research and Innovation Ability in Medical Students and Exploration of the Scientific Research Training Mode

Background: This study aims to investigate, from different perspectives, the problems faced and the countermeasures suggested by five-year clinical medical students in an entrepreneurship training programme for medical students to promote medical teaching reforms. Methods: A total of 600 five-year clinical medicine majors (grades 16-18) at Bengbu Medical College (including those who did and did not participate in large-scale entrepreneurship programmes) were studied by means of internet questionnaires and interviews. Statistical analysis was used to analyse the results of 568 questionnaires. Results: Students generally hope for improvements in the quality and mode of scientific research instruction; they have a strong interest in scientific research and hope to receive training in scientific research in their spare time and that does not interfere with their studies. Moreover, students desire improvements in incentive policies for innovation, the introduction of liberal laboratory opening policies and the optimization of funding for scientific research. Conclusions: Clinical medical students in our hospital attach great importance to the cultivation of scientific research ability. The results clarify the problems faced by medical undergraduates participating in entrepreneurship programmes and provide specific quantitative data for the reform of medical education modes to cultivate the innovation capacity of medical students.

Otolaryngology Residents' Attitudes, Experiences, and Barriers Regarding the Medical Research.

Objective:It was aimed to investigate the attitudes, experiences, and barriers towards scientific research among otolaryngology residents in Turkey.Methods:Anonymous data were collected via an online survey. The demographic characteristics and experience in scientific research were investigated in the first section of the survey. The attitudes of participants towards scientific research and the barriers to the scientific research were examined in the second section of the survey using 17 items.Results:The present study involved 119 otolaryngology residents continuing their education. It was determined that 68.1% of participants think that “participating in scientific research” is a part of otolaryngology training. In the present study, it was shown that the residents having journal club hours in clinics on regular basis participated in various steps of scientific research projects (p<0.05). Residents stated that they participated in the “literature review” stage of the preparation of a scientific publication (mean value of 2.58±1.88) most and in “verbal presentation in a congress” least (mean value of 0.74±1.44). It was determined that 80.7% of participants have not attended in any training on scientific research. It was found that the residents receiving structured scientific research training participated more in steps of scientific research projects which was statistically significantly (p<0.05).Conclusion:In our country, otolaryngology residents are very enthusiastic about having research education and participating in researches. However, residency students frequently have time deficiency, lack of knowledge-skill, and lack of financial support. Dedicated time should be allocated for research training and practice in specialty programs. Journal club activities should be organized on regular basis and integrated with research education. On the other hand, the scholarly activities of residents should be supported by means of various countrywide educational activities on research training.

Les soft skills dans le secteur tertiaire au Maroc : quelle perception des dirigeants ?

In this article, we present the perception of Moroccan leaders in the tertiary sector on skills. Our interest in this subject is explained by the importance of in the employability of the young laureates. From now on, recruiters are no longer satisfied with technical but are looking for these transversal known as soft skills (Theurelle-Stein & Barth, 2016) ; (Bouret et al., 2018) ; (Cimatti, 2016). This craze in the labor market for has prompted the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Management Training, in its report n ° 5 (CSEFRS, 2019), to introduce a new reform oriented towards the development of skills. The goal is to equip graduates with these behavioral required by recruiters. With this in mind, we conducted an exploratory study as an inventory of in the tertiary market at the national level. The axes of our survey relate to : raising awareness, mobilizing and developing at work; the role of in career development, competitiveness and employability. The quantitative aspect of our work provides statistical data for a scientific assessment of this topic rarely addressed by Moroccan researchers. The results obtained show the growing awareness of the importance of in Moroccan companies, particularly those in the private sector. In addition, this finding is more pronounced among young leaders. Our study allowed us to list the types of most in demand in the Moroccan tertiary sector, which will help target the to be developed in future graduates during their academic studies.

Considerations for Acute and Emergent Deployed Mental Health Patient Management and Theater Transports: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACTBackgroundAlthough combat stress and psychiatric casualties of war have consistently contributed to the need for deployed patient transport to higher echelons of care, little is known regarding specific evidence-based strategies for providing psychological support and optimal transport interventions for warriors.Study ObjectiveThe purpose of this scoping review is to map existing literature related to considerations for deployed mental health patient transport. The review’s primary aims are to identify the existing scientific research evidence, determine research and training gaps, and recommend critical areas for future military research.MethodsWe used Arksey and O’Malley’s six-stage scoping review methodological framework (identify the research question, identify relevant studies, select studies, chart data, report results, and consultation). Using a systematic search strategy, we evaluated peer-reviewed literature from five databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Embase) and gray literature from the Defense Technical Information Center. All publications were independently screened for eligibility by two researchers during three review rounds (title, abstract, and full text).ResultsWe identified 1,384 publications, 61 of which met our inclusion criteria. Most publications and technical reports were level IV evidence and below, primarily retrospective cohort studies and epidemiologic surveillance reports. Few rigorously designed studies were identified. Eight research themes and a variety of research and critical training gaps were derived from the reviewed literature. Themes included (1) characterizing mental health patients aeromedically evacuated from theater; (2) in-flight sedation medications; (3) need for aeromedical evacuation (AE) in-theater education, training, and guidelines for staff; (4) epidemiological surveillance of AE from theater; (5) mental health management in deployed settings; (6) suicide-related event management; (7) transport issues for mental health patients; and (8) psychological stressors of AE. Research is needed to establish clinical practice guidelines for mental health condition management in theater and throughout the continuum of en route care.

The 150th anniversary of the Hungarian Pharmacopoiea – the role of Transsylvanian-born professionals. The challenges of the third millennium

Abstract Two editions of the epoch-making first Hungarian pharmacopoeia (1871, 1888) were published in the 19th century. In the 20th century, this was followed by five more editions of the National Pharmacopoeia. There were many prominent Transylvanian specialists among the co-workers of these publications (III. - VII., 1909-1986) Lajos Dávid, senior dr. Béla Issekutz, dr.Zsigmond Jakabházy, junior dr. Miklós Jancsó, László Kovács, Dénes Kőszegi, István Novák, Tibor Széki, Lajos Winkler representing almost all fields of pharmacology and pharmacy. Their role in the field of Hungarian medical and pharmacist training, education and organization of scientific research proved to be perpetual. On the 150th anniversary of the publication of the first Hungarian pharmacopoeia, with this study we pay tribute to the memory of these outstanding scientists and their endeavour to create lasting values.

Transformations in the Ecuadorian Scientific Landscape: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Main Publications Trends and the Role of the Scientific Networks and the Public International Scholarship Program

Like other Latin American countries, Ecuador has undergone major political and economic transformations in the last decade. Science, technology and innovation policies were at the core of some of these transformations. Despite the economic recession since 2015, the local techno-scientific landscape has experienced quantitative and qualitative transformations that need to be analyzed. This paper aims to shed light on these changes and on the Ecuadorian techno-scientific system, which so far remains under-researched. To do so, we first carry out a bibliometric analysis of more than 25,000 records with Ecuadorian affiliation from the Scopus database, published between 1920 and 2019. This allows us to reconstruct the growing complexity of local techno-scientific networks and their connections both inside and outside the country. This analysis shows a strong process of internationalization of local scientific production during the last decade, as well as a shift in research topics from publications focused mainly on health and environmental issues to research with a strong component on data and systems analysis. In a second level of analysis, we explore the relationship between these transformations in techno-scientific production and a postgraduate scholarship policy program which has sponsored Ecuadorians to study abroad over the past two decades. This analysis shows a significant correlation between the number of international scholarships granted and the number of indexed publications. The paper concludes that local transformations in techno-scientific networks are highly correlated with the internationalization process driven by this postgraduate scholarship program and in general by international scientific research training.

MO1043EXPLORATION OF REMOTE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TRAINING FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Background and AimsWe aimed to investigate a new team-based remote teaching model (TRTM) among M.D and Ph.D. candidates major in nephrology to improve their scientific research training and reduce stresses during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodFrom February 1 to April 30 in 2020, we set up TRTM (Fig 1) via online conferencing systems as: (i) Plan-Do-Check-Action cycle every two to three days to promote project progress, (ii) weekly lab meetings for sharing experiences and ideas; and (iii) weekly journal clubs for literature reading and knowledge expansion. We recruited nine students in TRTM training, and another 25 students as control group, who arranged their schedule by themselves during the quarantine.MO1043 Figure 1: Schedule for the team-based teaching model. a) Timetable. b) The specific content of the team-based teaching model.Results1. A survey about the remote teaching25 mentors and 34 students had received a survey and all believed that teamwork, lab meeting, and short-term academic goals were essential in remote training. Non-scheduled discussion (72.0%,18/25) and regular online lab meetings (60.0%,15/25) were the most common traditional methods. About 85.3% of students and 28.0% of the mentors agreed that “poor self-control” was the main cause of remote-teaching difficulty.2. The effectiveness of TRTM trainingCompared to the control group, students in TRTM had more self-reported benefits from “mentors’ feedback”, “team support”, and “team communication” (All P<0.05), despite no significant differences in learning productivity or daily work progress. Meanwhile, the TRTM group presented with lower “anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic” and lower “stress-related to scientific research” (Both P<0.05). For TRTM students, the academic ability was also evaluated at the baseline and after three months of practice, by team members (7 teachers and 9 students). They made progress in varied aspects during the pandemic, such as executing planned tasks, self-improvement based on feedback, and teamwork ability (All P<0.001).ConclusionOur team-based remote teaching model helped students gain more supports and growth in academics and reduce psychological pressures caused by isolation.
