Teacher Experiences of In-Service Training Programmes on Curriculum Differentiation and Modification in Inclusive Primary Schools of Capricorn District, Limpopo Province, South Africa

Many teachers struggle with curriculum differentiation and curriculum modification in an inclusive education setting, despite a range of in-service training programmes being offered over recent years. More specifically, several training initiatives have focused on the development of school managers, with the idea of them cascading the information down to the other staff members at school. In this article, we report on teacher experiences of in-service training programmes on curriculum differentiation and modification in inclusive primary schools in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. In undertaking the study, we followed a qualitative approach, adopting a case study design. Two officials from the Inclusive Education section of the Department of Education and six teachers from the Dimamo circuit were purposively selected to take part in the study. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The generated data were analysed through content analysis. The findings of the study indicate that the participating teachers felt inadequately trained to implement various strategies that may accommodate learners with diverse needs in their classrooms, with school managers not providing feedback to teachers after attending in-service training sessions due to time constraints. As a result, we posit that the current model of teacher empowerment on curriculum differentiation and modification, which takes the form of in-service training programmes, is ineffective. we propose that new strategies should be put in place to better equip teachers in this field through, for example, short learning programmes on curriculum differentiation and modification, resource allocation, and feedback provision.

Examining the Professional Excellence Programme: Inducting University Teachers into the Higher Education System in South Africa

The obligation to increase the standard of instruction and learning falls on academic developers. A crucial part of academic staff development at institutions of higher learning is the induction of academics who are primarily subject matter specialists without the pedagogical abilities to teach effectively in the higher education environment. This qualitative essay investigated how the Professional Excellence Programme (PEP) might be utilised as an induction Short Learning Programme (SLP) for new academics. After finishing the brief SLP, the inductees were given a questionnaire to evaluate the modules (Teaching and Learning, Curriculum Development, and Assessment in Higher Education) and qualitative data was gathered. The study was framed by Wegner’s social learning theory. The research showed that the PEP programme can be an efficient programme to develop academics into university teachers. Since the SLP was accepted by all participants in the study, the study recommended that the Directorate of Teaching and Learning should develop the PEP programme into a credit-bearing postgraduate diploma in higher education at NQF Level 8, which is equivalent to an honours degree.

Client-reported impact of the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program

ABSTRACT Background A history of attempted suicide is the most significant predictor of suicidal death. Several brief interventions aimed at tertiary suicide prevention have been investigated in clinical trials. However, suicide attempt survivors’ experiences of such interventions have rarely been reported. Objective To explore how suicide attempt survivors perceive the impact of the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP). Method We interviewed 14 Finnish adults who had received ASSIP as an adjunct to treatment as usual. Semi-structured interviews took place 4–10 weeks after the last ASSIP session. A conventional content analysis of the interview data is presented. Results Three core categories depicting ASSIP’s perceived impact were identified. The core category life-affirming change comprised subcategories of feeling better, thinking differently, acting differently, and having new resources. The core category collateral effects comprised difficult feelings and cognitive overload. The core category incompleteness of change comprised lack of desired change, gains as incomplete, need for sustenance, and unrealized potential. Conclusion Clients perceived ASSIP as effectively facilitating life-affirming change but agreed that further support was necessary to retain and build on these gains. Identified needs for improvement included more predictable post-ASSIP service paths and more support for involving affected loved ones.

A circuit complexity formulation of algorithmic information theory

Inspired by Solomonoff’s theory of inductive inference (Solomonoff, 1964), we propose a prior based on circuit complexity. There are several advantages to this approach. First, it relies on a complexity measure that does not depend on the choice of Universal Turing machine (UTM). There is one universal definition for Boolean circuits involving a universal operation (e.g. NAND) with simple conversions to alternative definitions (with AND, OR, and NOT). Second, there is no analogue of the halting problem. The output value of a circuit can be calculated recursively by computer in time proportional to the number of gates, while a short program may run for a very long time. Our prior assumes that a Boolean function (or equivalently, Boolean string of fixed length) is generated by some Bayesian mixture of circuits. This model is appropriate for learning Boolean functions from partial information, a problem often encountered within machine learning as “binary classification.” We argue that an inductive bias towards simple explanations as measured by circuit complexity is appropriate for this problem.

Use of Automatic Dishwashers and Their Programs in Europe with a Special Focus on Energy Consumption

Due to the current high awareness and rising energy costs, the energy label of domestic appliances is an important indicator for consumers when buying a dishwasher. However, not all consumers use efficient Eco cycles on a regular basis. When investigating the use of domestic dishwashers and the chosen programs in a survey with 6090 participants from 11 countries in Europe, it turned out that only 25% used Eco cycles regularly while the vast majority of 48% prefer to use Normal/Auto cycles. We also assessed individual energy and water consumption as well as duration and temperature of the programs. Considering the fact that Eco programs are not well accepted due to their duration, our study shows that Short programs, which on average only last about 30 min and consume little energy and water, might be an economical and convenient alternative to the more time-consuming Eco programs. In fact, some Short programs considered in this study proved to consume less energy for a full dishwasher load (0.74 kWh on average) than the standard Eco programs (0.90 kWh on average), especially due to their shorter duration, but it is important to note that, according to the manufacturer, these programs are designed for rather lightly soiled dishes.

DISTANCE EDUCATION AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN ADULT EDUCATION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: VIEWS OF POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS IN HELLENIC OPEN UNIVERSITY, GREECE

Distance education has always been an important pillar of Hellenic Open University, through which undergraduate, postgraduate, and short programs’ students participate in. Before the pandemic crisis education in HOU had been characterized as synchronous and asynchronous with a choice of face-to-face classes. Under the new circumstances, due to the pandemic crisis, a lot of educational institutes all over the world had to adjust and offer a flexible synchronous and asynchronous electronic way of learning. This new, unprecedented situation came up as an emergency, as well as an opportunity, not only for the students, but also for the institutions so that they could evolve electronic distance education with the use of communication and collaboration online platforms. In this regard, HOU modulated the teaching in electronic form with the basic tool of teleconference for the group meetings and exams electronic platform. In this paper, there has been an attempt to research about the students’ satisfaction level, concerning the group meetings and exams changes, the main difficulties they dealt with, in which way their smooth attendance was influenced, and finally their agreement level about ways to reinforce their digital education in HOU with suggested ways deriving from literature. The conducted survey was quantitative out of 125 participants’ sample, with the use of a personal online questionnaire. It was found that the majority of participants had been satisfied with the changes in HOU, mainly with the communication they had with the counselor-teacher in online group meetings. Moreover, their attendance remained undisturbed, not only to their assignments, but also to their success in the exams, and regarding the difficulties they faced, their main ones were a feeling of stress or insecurity due to the unanticipated changes, a problem with their online connection and with the available time to answer the exams’ questions. It is also interesting their high level of agreement with the suggested ways to reinforce their digital education since the majority of the participants are in favor of those mentioned.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0099/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

60 Million Litres per Day Floating Pump Station, Waikato River, New Zealand

After drought conditions were experienced across New Zealand in 2019, Watercare determined that the 175 million litres per day (MLD) upgrade to the Waikato River to Redoubt Reservoir (R2R) project should be increased in capacity by including a 50 MLD water treatment plant (WTP) on the Waikato River at a remote location 60 km south of Auckland, New Zealand. Required for urgent drought mitigation, the WTP was designed and commissioned within 12 months, enabling water delivery to Auckland by southern hemisphere Winter 2021. As a conventional pump station could not have been constructed at this remote site within the timeframe, a floating pump station was developed utilising modular Linkflote pontoons to support the equipment, gangways for services and access and tubular piles for restraint. With principal issues of constructability and short programme, the superstructure design incorporated a steel spreader frame to distribute relatively high, concentrated loads over the Linkflote pontoon system.

Effectiveness of short peripheral intravenous catheter educational programmes to improve clinical outcomes protocol for a systematic review

The placement of a short peripheral intravenous catheter (sPIVC) is the most common invasive clinical procedure for patients requiring fluid infusion and multiple blood draws. Phlebitis and infiltration represent the most common catheter-related complications. Occlusions, dislocations, and infections are less frequent. Insufficient knowledge and skills may increase the risk of these complications. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of training programmes to reduce sPIVC failure amongst hospitalised patients. We will search PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Cochrane Vascular Specialized Register through the Cochrane Register of Studies, and Google Scholar. We defined the search query using the PICO framework (Participants: health professionals; Intervention: training programme; Comparison: No training programme; Outcomes: all-cause catheter failure). We will include experimental studies evaluating an educational programme to reduce early sPIVC failure amongst hospitalised patients. Two reviewers will independently screen studies for inclusion, extract data, and perform the risk of bias assessment using the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care Risk of Bias tool for randomised controlled trials. This review will highlight important perspectives for future studies on the effectiveness of educational programmes focused on reducing the rate of sPIVC complications.

Islamic Boarding School Paradigm: As a Religious Education Institution and Strengthening Student Character

In Era Society 5.0, Indonesia is faced with the swift currents of globalization, a process of order owned by the global community that knows no boundaries. This is also happening in the field of education in Indonesia which is the cause of the nation's downturn on the grounds that our education does not produce good human resources. National character is something that is important to advance a nation. To overcome this, changes are needed in the learning of the Islamic boarding school program for students' religious learning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the application of character education in religious learning through a short Islamic boarding school program. The method used is descriptive qualitative by collecting data through observation and interviews. These observations and interviews were conducted with teachers and students at MAN 3 Palembang. Data analysis uses the theory of Milles and Huberman, namely data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results of this study were: 1) At MAN 3 Palembang, they implemented religious learning through several activities, namely book study, speech, al-Barzani, reciting al-Qur’an, reading Yasin, evening tutoring, and performing arts; 2) The characters that can be produced from these activities are religious, responsible, disciplined, confident, creative, communicative, curious, polite, courteous, patient, sincere, humble, independent, honest, respectful, creative, and innovative. The findings of this study are that the flash Islamic boarding school program implemented at MAN 3 Palembang can build student' character to become better individuals.

A novel double-hybrid learning method for modal frequency-based damage assessment of bridge structures under different environmental variation patterns

Monitoring of modal frequencies under an unsupervised learning framework is a practical strategy for damage assessment of civil structures, especially bridges. However, the key challenge is related to high sensitivity of modal frequencies to environmental and/or operational changes that may lead to economic and safety losses. The other challenge pertains to different environmental and/or operational variation patterns in modal frequencies due to differences in structural types, materials, and applications, measurement periods in terms of short and/or long monitoring programs, geographical locations of structures, weather conditions, and influences of single or multiple environmental and/or operational factors, which may cause barriers to employing state-of-the-art unsupervised learning approaches. To cope with these issues, this paper proposes a novel double-hybrid learning technique in an unsupervised manner. It contains two stages of data partitioning and anomaly detection, both of which comprise two hybrid algorithms. For the first stage, an improved hybrid clustering method based on a coupling of shared nearest neighbor searching and density peaks clustering is proposed to prepare local information for anomaly detection with the focus on mitigating environmental and/or operational effects. For the second stage, this paper proposes an innovative non-parametric hybrid anomaly detector based on local outlier factor. In both stages, the number of nearest neighbors is the key hyperparameter that is automatically determined by leveraging a self-adaptive neighbor searching algorithm. Modal frequencies of two full-scale bridges are utilized to validate the proposed technique with several comparisons. Results indicate that this technique is able to successfully eliminate different environmental and/or operational variations and correctly detect damage.

Status and Challenges of the Interaction Region Magnets for HL-LHC

About one hundred magnets of six different types shall be installed in the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) in the years 2026-2028 at CERN. The magnets design, construction and test are based on CERN collaborations with institutes and industrial partners in USA, Spain, Italy, Japan and China. Three types of correctors are based on Nb–Ti technology and feature conductor peak fields in the 2 to 4 T range: for all of them the protoype phase has been successfully completed. The production is well advanced for the superferric correctors, and is starting for the canted cos theta correctors and for the nested correctors. The separation and recombination Nb–Ti dipoles D1 and D2, with a 4.5-6 T bore field range, are both in the prototype phase after the completion of the short model program. The most challenging magnet, the Nb <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> Sn quadrupole with conductor peak field above 11 T, is in the prototype phase at CERN and halfway through the production phase in the USA. In this paper we will give, for each type of magnet, an overview of the main achievements obtained so far and we will outline the technical points still needing validation from the prototype program.

The Effectiveness of a Training Program Based on Multimedia on Enhancing the Teaching Process and Critical Thinking Skills of Teachers of the Deaf and Hearing-impaired in Secondary Schools

The main aim of the current study is to measure the effectiveness of a training program on enhancing the teaching process and critical thinking skills among teachers of the deaf and hearing-impaired in secondary schools through multimedia and according to academic qualification and years of experience variables. To accomplish the study objective, the researchers used the quasi-experimental approach. They designed a four-hour short training program that was applied to 60 teachers of the deaf and hearing-impaired in secondary schools. The study findings revealed that 53.4% of teachers of the deaf and hearing-impaired possess multimedia skills experience in teaching critical thinking skills in the pre-test, whereas 61.3% of teachers of the deaf and hearing-impaired possess multimedia skills experience in teaching critical thinking skills in the post-test. In addition, the results showed no statistically significant differences in the years of experience variable in teaching critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the results indicated that the teachers who have Master's degrees or higher had higher average scores in critical thinking skills compared to those with bachelor's degrees.

A specific early eluting peak in Bio-Rad Variant II cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (CE-HPLC) for the screening of alpha-thalassaemia in a Chinese population

The early eluting peaks in the first minute of cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (CE-HPLC) are often not analysed in haemoglobin pattern studies, except for haemoglobin (Hb) Bart's andHb H peaks. In this study, we described the presence of a specific α-thalassaemia early eluting peak (αEEP) atthe retention time of 0.24 min generated by Variant II CE-HPLC (β-Thalassaemia Short Program; Bio-Rad Laboratories). We have evaluated the utility of αEEP for the screening of α-thalassaemia trait in our local Chinese population in comparison to the Hb H inclusion body test. A total of 303 blood samples presenting with microcytosis were sent for haemoglobin pattern study and were analysed for the presence or absence of αEEP and Hb H inclusions. Twenty cases with a normal mean corpuscular volume were assessed as a control. Discordant results between the αEEP and the Hb H inclusion test were reviewed with the α-globin genotyping test performed. The concordance rate of the αEEP and the Hb H inclusion body test was 96.0% (κ=0.921, p<0.001). Eight of 303 cases (2.6%) were initially negative for the Hb H inclusion test but positive for the αEEP. All eight cases were found to have occasional Hb H inclusion bodies upon review. Four of 303 cases (1.3%) were negative for the αEEP but positive for the Hb H inclusion test. Of these four cases, two (50%) showed heterozygous Southeast Asian (SEA) type deletion, one (25%) showed Hb Quong Sze mutation, and one (25%) showed no mutation detected upon molecular testing. All the Hb E trait cases with no Hb H inclusions and the negative control group showed the absence of the αEEP. The sensitivity and specificity of αEEP for detecting SEA deletion were 93.8% and 100% respectively, which is superior to the Hb H inclusion test (sensitivity 81.3%, specificity 95.2%). The αEEP is found to be a more sensitive method than the Hb H inclusion body test in the screening of α-thalassaemia trait in our Chinese population, in which SEA type deletion is prevalent. Further study is needed to explore the utility of the αEEP in the screening of α-thalassaemia traits in other populations. The exact nature of the αEEP is yet to be defined.

Does the scoring system influence the final ranking of a free roller skating competition?

Artistic roller skating is a continually developing sport discipline, which is subject to regulatory change. The aim of the present study was to analyse the influence of the change in the scoring system on the final ranking in artistic roller skating. The design followed the procedures of a quantitative empirical research methodology, using an associative strategy, carrying out a comparative study. 98 skaters were analysed, 52 juniors and 46 seniors. The performance of each skater was analysed according to the White scoring system and the RollArt philosophy. The independent variables were the category, sex and scoring system, and the dependent variables were the short program, long program and final score, including the technical and artistic components of this discipline. For the analysis of differences between the scores obtained and the championship ranking, the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used, while for the identification of relationships between both scoring systems, the Spearman Correlation Coefficient was used. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to affirm the existence of significant differences between the two scoring systems, although the modification of the rules did not change the final ranking of the participants. Finally, the research shows that skaters adapt to the context (scoring system), although the RollArt system favors the creativity of practitioners to a greater extent.

Policy Transfer in Global Programmes: A Comparative Analysis of Select Countries in Asia and the Caucasus

Global programmes (GPs) are crucial actors in transnational policy transfer but understudied in literature. The paper explores GP policy transfer in terms of instruments, space, and time from a comparative perspective. Employing a thematic analysis of policy/programme files and using the GP to prevent gender-biased sex selection as a case study, the paper compares implementation across diverse countries and regions. It finds similar policies and ideas are transferred, across scales, sectors, and actors throughout the policy cycle. Yet short programme cycles contradict longer timeframes needed to assess sex-selection policies and interventions to change social norms.

Blue prescription: A pilot study of health benefits for oncological patients of a short program of activities involving the sea

Performing outdoor activities in blue spaces can help improve human health and mental well-being by reducing stress and promoting social relationships. The number of people surviving cancer has increased globally to experience this disease as a life-changing and chronic condition with physical and psychosocial symptoms that have negative impacts on their quality of life. While there has been a growth of programs in green spaces to meet the needs of cancer patients, such as follow-up post-treatment care, support groups and physical activity programs, very few studies have examined the effects of activities involving the sea for the health and well-being of oncology patients. This is the first study to evaluate whether different outdoor activities in blue spaces can benefit oncological patients' physical and mental health using smartwatches, sphygmomanometers and Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaires. We assessed changes in blood pressure, heart rate, sleep quality and mental health of 16 patients after twelve sessions of three different activities (walking, beach and snorkelling) and four sessions of a control activity. While no significant differences between activities were observed in terms of the data gathered by the smartwatches, a gradient of positive results for human mental health was observed towards exposure to a blue space, assessed through POMS questionnaires. Results show that exposure to blue spaces contributes to tension and anger reduction and improves the vigour mood state of oncology patients. No significant increases in patients' heart rate were recorded after the beach and snorkelling activities, with results similar to the control activity, suggesting that the contribution may be to participants’ relaxation.

CBI 병존 언어 교수 모형에 기반한 한국 문화 수업 설계

Objectives This study aims to present an instructional design and a lesson plan based on the content-based instruction (CBI) model for short-term immersion course learners who aim to learn the Korean language and culture.&#x0D; Methods This study examined cultural learning goals and instructional models through literature research to design Korean cultural classes and develop a lesson plan. Next, this study explored the characteristics, theoretical grounds, and models of CBI, and other previous research was examined to prepare curriculum and specific class plans. Finally, for curriculum development, this article applied the procedure of the curriculum guideline (6T) for content-based classes proposed by Stroller&amp;Grabe (1997). Furthermore, to select the class theme, this study conducted the need analysis with the entrusted institution of this program.&#x0D; Results Finally, this study adopted the Adjunct language instruction model to design the class and develop the curriculum. Moreover, the ITB model was applied, and instructional strategies were presented for specific institutional design. In the Into stage, vocabulary quizzes and warming up activities to support learners' schema formation were designed, and the Through stage was divided into two stages: reading and listening activities by language instructors and special lectures by content instructors. In the Beyond stage, hands on activities related to the special lecture and a language class to review learning contents were designed. Finally, this study presented examples of class materials on the “Modern Korean Food Culture and Table Changes.”&#x0D; Conclusions The implication of this study is to provide a framework for designing and planning a culture class that integrates three elements of the culture described in the 3P model. In particular, the instructional design proposed in this study ensures the learners' expertise in content and linguistic support because the co-work of subject matter experts and language instructors carefully developed the class activities and materials. Also, the instructional design proposed in this study is differentiated from the existing cultural class design in that it allows learners to experience what they have learned in person in connection with experiential activities.

Determination of creatinine in urine and blood serum human samples by CZE-UV using on-column internal standard injection.

Creatinine is a well-stablished biomarker for kidney malfunctions and for normalization parameter of urinary quantitative information. Recently, metabolic studies have been discovering other functionalities for creatinine tests in human urine and blood serum. In this work we present an enhanced capillary electrophoresis (CE) based protocol for determination of creatinine. CE is a high-throughput separation technique that have been getting attention through the last decades and might be considered to be adopted as an analytical instrumentation for clinical purposes. In the proposed method, we performed a short injection program with on-column addition of internal standard. Additionally, the method allows a simultaneous screening of non-proteinogenic amino acids that could be considered for metabolomics purposes. We design a pilot study that successfully estimated the creatinine value in 100 urine samples with (2.85±1.78) mg dL-1 LOD; (8.24±5.93) mg dL-1 LOQ and 82.4% accuracy. Considering that serum creatinine is also included in the clinical laboratory routines for estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate dosage, the method was complementary applied to 10 blood serum samples, which resulted in a model with (0.4±0.2)mgdL-1 LOD; (2.0±0.6)mgdL-1 LOQ and 83.8% of accuracy. All results were in agreement with reference values. The proposed method promotes a great analytical frequency and reproducibility with enhanced specificity compared with the ongoing protocol by Jaffe's reaction, thereby proving to be useful as an alternative for creatinine exams that might help complete a diagnosis of a series of health-related issues.

The effect of online “Love and Care” self-compassion practice among Malaysian counselling students

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of online self-compassion practice on self-compassion, emotional regulation, and perceived wellbeing in counselling students. Counsellors are exposed to high risks of psychological and emotional distress, therefore self-compassion as self-care strategy is essential to be cultivated among counselling students. In this study, purposive sampling was employed to recruit participants via the internet. Thirty-two counselling students participated in a 14-day online program as an intervention of self-compassion practice. Data for self-compassion, emotional regulation and perceived wellbeing were collected before, after and 1 month follow up of the program. Data were analyzed using nonparametric Friedman test. The result shows the potential of such intervention by revealing improvements in several measures over two weeks and supported partial hypotheses. Firstly, the findings shows that the daily self-compassion practice has a significant effect on self-compassion, specifically self-kindness, and mindfulness. Secondly, there is also significant difference on wellbeing. Lastly, supported with qualitative data in participants’ survey, the overall experience with daily self-compassion practice is all positively worded. Both quantitative and qualitative findings from our present study showed that the intervention greatly increase participants’ sense of self-kindness and perceived wellbeing throughout the 14 days. Overall, this study supports the previous studies on the effectiveness of self-compassion and further supports the wellbeing of counselling students. The implication of the study is self-compassion and wellbeing could be promoted through a short intervention program via online platform, and it may serve as a support tool to other traditional forms of intervention.
