PRACTICING OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN UNIVERSITIES: ASTEPTOWARDS GLOBALIZATION

Outcome based education is a system of education in which steps about the implementation of a curriculum are determined by a program specific learning outcomes students would have achieved at the time of their graduation. These steps consist of course content, educational policies, stake holders input and assessment methodologies. Since Pakistan is one of those few countries who are still following the traditional teacher centric methodology, it is desired to switch to the outcome based education system to be compatible with the rest of the developed world. In this paper, authors describe their experience of using faculty course assessment report for the assessment of student performance in ECON 341 Mathematical Economics, a BS in Economics course offered at Economics department of Abasyn University Peshawar.

Multi-method Examination of Elder Mistreatment in the Age of COVID-19

A multi-method study exposed COVID-19 influence on the pre-existing epidemic of elder mistreatment in Utah. We found changes in 1) abuse types, 2) service responses, 3) firearm access and 4) policy implications. Gun sales were tracked by news surveillance and FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for pre-pandemic (2018/2019) and pandemic years (2020/2021). New requests for permits skyrocketed during the pandemic. The 2021 Utah State Legislature loosened restrictions on concealed permits. Domestic violence (DV) Fatality Tracker Data in pre-covid years were compared to 2020-2021. A figure illustrates the prevalence of DV fatalities, ages of victims by year and methods used. We conducted 15 in-depth interviews of stake holders who serve DV victims (shelters, police, etc.). DV shelters had a relative lack of children during the pandemic, but increased use by older persons 60+. Susceptibility to chronic respiratory distress syndrome, required social distance for older persons. DV shelters obtained CARES Act funds to adapt solutions, like placing victims in hotel rooms. Most victims stayed at home, confined with abuser(s), some without technology, so isolation decreased their safety. Evidence suggests some fatalities among elder adults. A case study during the pandemic described a 73-year-old mother’s suspicious bank account activity. Bank employees sent police to her home. She was missing, but her co-resident adult son was in possession of her bank cards. She was later found in a shallow grave. Utah households have increased risks of DV fatalities in the wake of the pandemic and for years to come.

ACADEMIC STATUS OF THE COACH AND TEAM PERFORMANCE IN THE KENYAN NATIONAL SOCCER AND VOLLEYBALL LEAGUES

Purpose: The study sought to establish whether academic status of the coach predicted team performance in the Kenyan national soccer and volleyball leagues.
 Methodology: The Cross-Sectional survey used a population of the 53 head coaches handling team in the Kenyan soccer and volleyball leagues in the 2020-2021 season. Census sampling was used to pick the 53 coaches for the study. Data collection instrument was a self-administered questionnaire. The Leadership Scale for Sport questionnaire (LSS) was used to capture player’s perception on coach competence. The coaches’ questionnaire was divided into sections which captured demographics and academic background. The study used Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 22) for data analysis. Information was organized and presented using descriptive statistics and was analyzed at 0.05 significance level. Chi-Square and Fisher’s Exact test was used to predict coach academic status on the team’s performance. Data was projected in figures and tables and relevant discussions were made.
 Findings: Chi square and Fisher’s Exact Test results showed that coaches academic status had a significant effect on team performance (χ2 =18.419, 0.031 ≤ p 0.05 9df). The fisher’s exact test had a p value of 0.016 which was also less than 0.05 confirming that there was a significant relationship between coaches’ academic status and team performance.
 Conclusion and Recommendation: The study concluded that coaches’ academic status had a significant effect on team performance. Team managers, owners and other stake holders in sports need to take up educated coaches. This is because educated coaches learn a diverse way of communication including humor, which in turns benefits communication between coaches and players which enhances team performance in the long run. In addition, coaches that are not educated need to go back to school and further their education. This will enable them to gain more skills that will be help in their teams’ performance.

EXPERT SYSTEM FOR SHIP RECYCLING


 
 
 Ship recycling has been considered as a low technology industry. It has been established that there are more than a dozen stake holders in ship recycling having their own interests and roles. Apart from this, most of the ship recycling activities are carried out with poor infrastructure support and without adhering to proper safety and environmental standards. A Knowledge-based support is the need of the hour for improving the status of ship recycling industry. Knowledgebase support in the form of a computer based expert system encompassing entire ship recycling activities is considered as a very useful step in this direction. This paper presents the need for a user friendly expert system for ship recycling process. Two important functions of the expert system have been presented, one for the Administrators, the stake holders at the helm of the ship recycling affairs and second one for the Users, who execute the actual dismantling have been presented.
 
 

Determinants of Skilled Birth Attendants in Neonatal Resuscitation at Nakuru Level Five Hospital, Kenya.

This study sought to determine the skills of the birth attendants in neonatal resuscitation at Nakuru Level five Hospital. Prospective study was used to determine the immediate outcomes of neonatal resuscitation where sixty resuscitated new-borns were recruited into the study and followed up for a period of one month. A descriptive cross-sectional study was used to assess the knowledge and skills of skilled birth attendants where thirty six skilled birth attendants were included in the study with various educational level Certificate, Diploma and Bachelors. Self-administered questionnaires were used to assess knowledge while simulated resuscitation using mannequins was used to assess the skills. Multiple linear regressions were used to compare the mean differences. The findings showed that there were a higher number of resuscitated new-borns among prim gravidas, mothers aged below 20 years and referrals cases. Furthermore male new-borns were found to be twice more likely to be resuscitated than female new-borns. There is need to put emphasis teaching of neonatal resuscitation in all pre-service medical institutions to help reduce the noted discrepancies skills. Efforts should be made by the stake holders; both national and county governments to provide refresher courses yearly to all the staff since it has been demonstrated as having impact on the skills of neonatal resuscitation.

Classroom Management: A Prerequisite to Pre-Schoolers Motivation and Affection Toward Learning and School in Edo South Senatorial Districts

Early education of children in Nigeria has been of great concern to both the parents, educators and other stake holders in education. This has led to a high investment in the educational sector, bus less progress is made in the pre-primary level. A lot of questions have risen as to why this low progress is been made. Some attributed this low progress to the issue of classroom management, teacher motivation and many more. This study therefore examined classroom management as a prerequisite to pre-schoolers motivation and affection toward learning and school in Edo south senatorial districts. The study was a descriptive design and four research questions were raised to guide the study.  The target population comprised classroom teachers in both private and public pre-primary schools in Edo South senatorial district of Edo State. The sample for this study was five hundred (500) teachers, who were drawn from private and public pre-primary schools in the senatorial district. The research instrument used for this study was a questionnaire designed by the researchers; it was a four-Likert scale. It had two sections; Section A consists of the demographic data of the respondents while Section B contained the questions that elicited responses from the respondents with response options like, Strongly Agree, Agree, Strongly Disagree and Disagree. The face and content validity of the instrument was determined by three experts in the field. Cronbach alpha method was used to ascertain the reliability of the instrument. It gave an alpha value of 0.89 which indicated that the instrument was reliable. Data gathered through the questionnaire were analysed using mean and standard deviation, chi-square and multiple regressions. A criterion mean of 2.50 was used for the acceptance of the items while an interpretative norm of 7.50 which was the product of the criterion mean and the number of items in each cluster was used to ascertain the extent of teachers’ classroom management and motivation on children's affection for school. The findings proved that classroom management affects children's motivation and affection for learning and school, however, teacher motivation was not significant. It was therefore concluded that classroom management is a significant factor in facilitating pupil motivation and affection to learning and school. The study therefore recommended that School teachers should be made to go for periodical in-service training on classroom management courses and Education stakeholder should invest more in learning environment and make it more attractive to learners by providing all necessary learning facilities.

Uprooting Deeper Causes of Belgium's Lack of Pandemic Preparedness in the Covid-19 Crisis

The challenge of the Coronavirus Pandemic Preparedness project was to explore gaps in the way Belgium addressed the COVID-19 pandemic as a path forward for learning how to be better prepared in the probable event of a future pandemic. A pandemic is more than just a health crisis; well-intentioned efforts to contain an epidemic resulted in mental health problems, an economic downturn and the impairment of learning, among other issues. To understand a complex or "wicked" problem, such as a pandemic, we deployed a transdisciplinary approach, engaging experts and stakeholders from a variety of fields. At the end of March 2021, we organised an online co-creation workshop on behalf of the transdisciplinary research team at the Institute for the Future (1), inviting societal actors to participate in a multilevel brainstorming discussion. The purpose of the workshop was to identify deeper causes underlying the gaps in Belgian pandemic preparedness, building upon earlier work of the research team. We engaged stakeholders from different sectors of society in interactive exercises to verify and challenge the work of the research team. As a result, our team unearthed plausible missing elements within the deeper causes underlying the Belgian lack of preparedness for the pandemic. The majority of gaps identified by the stake holders could be traced to deeper causes interwoven in our society's fabric. Some key areas where improvement was suggested were greater political willingness to tackle more complex problems, an expansion of transdisciplinary knowledge and education across our institutions and trust-building among citizens, government and the scientific community. Our findings are summarised and presented in a short video output. These findings can be taken up to formulate future objectives for pandemic preparedness in Belgium. This can in turn serve to create a more resilient and sustain- able society.

An examination policy shift in universities would be necessary too.

PUBLIC SERVICE ACCOUNTABILITY IN TATANGA DISTRICT OFFICE, PALU CITY (STUDY OF SERVICES ID CARD MANAGEMENT)

The objectives of this study is analyzing accountability of public service in management Identity Card at tatanga District Office and the obstructed factors. The method used in this study is qualitative research, to describe the phenomena based on the fact in the research focus. The population of this study is the stake holders of Tatanga District and the public service users. Sample selection used purposive technique by selecting 6 (six) informants. Technique of data collection in this study consists of observation, interview and document.The result of the study showed that the accountability of public service in management Identity Card at the office of Tatanga District was less maximal. This was proved by 3 (three) indicators considered to be a starting point, they are service reference, attention to the public and solution. Only 1 (one) indicator showed the accountability of service is the solution. It was given by the government of the Tatanga District for the public service users had been maximally implemented. While indicator of service reference and attention to the public has not got maximal categories yet. The factors that obstructed the accountability of public service in management Identity Card at Tatanga District office which is found in this study wereunavailability of equipment to create ID card. Thus, the duty of the District government officials in service only confined to ID cards. Then the people have to complete it to another district office or Civil Registration in Hammer. Besides, the service provided from district government in management Identity Card is still oriented on arrangement or simply impressed very normative, less committed to adjust servicing values ​​or norms that exist in society in order to create a quality of service that is oriented on customer satisfaction.

Evaluating the usability and acceptability of a geographical information system (GIS) prototype to visualise socio-economic and public health data

BackgroundUnderstanding the impact of socio-economic inequality on health outcomes is arguably more relevant than ever before given the global repercussions of Covid-19. With limited resources, innovative methods to track disease, population needs, and current health and social service provision are essential. To best make use of currently available data, there is an increasing reliance on technology. One approach of interest is the implementation and integration of mapping software. This research aimed to determine the usability and acceptability of a methodology for mapping public health data using GIS technology.MethodsPrototype multi-layered interactive maps were created demonstrating relationships between socio-economic and health data (vaccination and admission rates). A semi-structured interview schedule was developed, including a validated tool known as the System Usability Scale (SUS), which assessed the usability of the mapping model with five stakeholder (SH) groups. Fifteen interviews were conducted across the 5 SH and analysed using content analysis. A Kruskal-Wallis H test was performed to determine any statistically significant difference for the SUS scores across SH. The acceptability of the model was not affected by the individual use of smart technology among SHs.ResultsThe mean score from the SUS for the prototype mapping models was 83.17 out of 100, indicating good usability. There was no statistically significant difference in the usability of the maps among SH (p = 0.094). Three major themes emerged with respective sub-themes from the interviews including: (1) Barriers to current use of data (2) Design strengths and improvements (3) Multiple benefits and usability of the mapping model.ConclusionIrrespective of variations in demographics or use of smart technology amongst interviewees, there was no significant difference in the usability of the model across the stakeholder groups. The average SUS score for a new system is 68. A score of 83.17 was calculated, indicative of a “good” system, as falling within the top 10% of scores. This study has provided a potential digital model for mapping public health data. Furthermore, it demonstrated the need for such a digital solution, as well as its usability and future utilisation avenues among SH.

Implementing "Chest Pain Pathway" Using Smartphone Messaging Application "WhatsApp" as a Corrective Action Plan to Improve Ischemia Time in "ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction" in Primary PCI Capable Center "WhatsApp-STEMI Trial".

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention. Each hospital should implement a clinical pathway with the main objective to reduce ischemia time from diagnosis to revascularization (because this has shown to save myocardial tissues and, subsequently, patients' lives), utilizing the most evidence-based approach and the most up-to-date management protocol. In this study, we aimed to assess the utility of structuring chest pain pathway (CPP) with the instantaneous case-by-case feedback protocol using WhatsApp and its impact on improving 2 major key performance indicators-the impact on initial emergency room (ER) door-to-electrocardiogram (ECG) time, and door-to-balloon time-in a predefined 6-month corrective action period. A prospective, quality improvement plan was set to reduce door-to-first-ECG and door-to-balloon times to less than 10 and 90 minutes, respectively, in all acute coronary syndrome cases (including STEMI cases), from August 2020 to April 30, 2021. Several measures were done to attain the goal, including strict compliance to CPP with documentation, ruling out possible mimickers, and reducing false activation and time delays in ER. Direct feedback on cases was provided using WhatsApp messaging app on smartphones; protocol and results of time lines were accessed by all healthcare providers associated with CPP, including ER nurses, ER doctors, Cardiology residents, specialists, Catheterization laboratory nurses, technicians, and interventionalists. Bimonthly meetings with all stake holders were reinforced, and minutes of meeting were reviewed and corrective actions were implemented the next day. On a daily basis, all cases were analyzed and tabulated by a dedicated nurse and a doctor from ER, and another nurse and doctor from the quality assurance department. After a 6-month period of implementing improvement plan and sticking to a comprehensive chest pain clinical pathways strategy with a case-by-case review on a shared smartphone messaging application, the rate of door-to-first-ECG improved from 76% to 93% in patients with chest pain, and the door-to-balloon time targeting less than 90 minutes improved significantly from only 77% to 92% in STEMI patients. This was statistically significant with a P value of 0.0001 and 0.001, respectively, and the rate of false activation was reduced from 23% to 16% and 10% 3 and 6 months of time, respectively, with a significant P value of <0.01. Finally, a strict 100% rate of timely documentation on patients with chest pain was achieved. An improvement plan of implementing the CPP, cut-time policy, and using smartphone WhatsApp messaging for a case-to-case instantaneous feedback has significantly improved key performance indicators and, subsequently, ischemia time in acute coronary syndrome patients (including STEMI patients) in 6 months time, indicating that this strategy works.

The community care model (CCM) for multi-drug resistant of tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patient with social engagement: A case study province located at lower northeastern part, Thailand

This research was aimed to develop the community care model for Multi-Drug Resistant of Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patient and to evaluate the community care for MDR-TB patient model. Four steps of method were (1) identify the problem, (2) performance enhancement, (3) model development, and (4) implementation. The 36 sub-districts from 12 districts where found MDR-TB patient was the study areas. Target groups were consisted of MDR-TB patient, TB Clinic people from district and sub-district hospital, care giver who care on drug observe therapy (Dot) to MDR-TB patient, and community leader. Research tools were questionnaires, interview guide, and venue of participation of the stake holders. The data analysis was used descriptive statistics for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. The model of Multi-drug Resistance Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) Patient Care, “Srisaket Model” was 4 phrases; (1) Early access, “Prepare the readiness of care team”, 2-7 day before registered to treatment. Care team at sub-district level was provided MDR-TB case report and communicated to care team, patient assessment, stop taking any drug in case of TB old case, and prepare the readiness for MDR-TB treatment. (2) In-hospital care, “Start treatment and care as MDR-TB patient”, 14-28 day in the hospital. The essential activities were case management; prepare team and community to care of the patient, disease investigation and screening TB contact case. (3) Intensive care, “Dot by heart”, 3-6 months, the core activities was Dot, drug injection, quality drug assurance and averse drug management (ADM), and prepare area zone for care of MDR-TB patient followed the Infectious control guideline for TB/MDR-TB. And (4) Continuum care, “Cooperation to cope the disease”, Dot care continuously, surveillance to ADM, discharge plan and continuously 5 years plan for TB contact cases surveillance by Chest X-ray and for relapse of TB/MDR-TB patient.

Design of mutual trust between the IoT nodes using adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system in edge computing systems

Advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) enabled faster collection of data and its analysis in valuable form to provide essential services for the stake holders. However, most of the nodes contributes to privacy and security issues due to its distributed nature, network scale and resource scarcity towards IoT networks. In this paper, use blockchain model that provides a strong counter measure for the data protection and enables optimal support of IoT via its distributed nature. However, it consumes enormous consumption of energy that verifies the data blocks and creates severe restriction over the resource-constrained nature of IoT device. Also, it may pose serious threat that exposes the user privacy onto public ledger system and leads to data alterations. Hence, the study advances the security using mutual trust between the IoT nodes to support the data verification at blocks and data privacy of stakeholders in real-time. The ANFIS model computes the degree of mutual trust between the IoT nodes and at the same time it enables the blockchains to participate in trust based estimation. The simulation is carried out to evaluate the proposed model with other state-of-art methods. The test results shows that the proposed method achieves higher degree of trust and high privacy of packets than other methods.

Developing an Effective Employee Performance Appraisal System

This study focuses on developing an effective employee performance appraisal system and employees’ perception of justice with the appraisal outcome. The study tries to identify the various techniques used in the appraisal process, the error(s) associated with each technique, all known metrics of performance measurement, and best ways of capturing appraisal data. This study is imperative in view of the fact that most existing appraisal system limit staff performance to competence only. The current system uses generic ratings for all workers irrespective of their job roles and do not employ biometrics in the appraisal process. Leveraging on the potentials of information and communications technology (ICT) helps to harmonize all issues embedded in the current appraisal system. Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources in order to elicit information from stakeholders. Some hypotheses were adopted. Questionnaires were also used to help in data collection from both stake holders and workers in general. Hypothesises were tested using chi-square with degree of freedom (d.f.) = (n-1) = 4 and level of significance (α) is 0.05. Pie chart was also use in the analysis. Results show that there is a high level of perception of injustice with the present appraisal system by stakeholders. Result also shows that existing appraisal systems limits workers performance to competence only. It was revealed that an effective appraisal system should be technology-driven. Technology-driven employee performance appraisal system utilizes all known matrices of performance measurement in the appraisal process. This approach to workers appraisal would bring about transparency and efficiency in the system. It would also bring about wide participation in the appraisal process. Furthermore, it would create room for increased productivity, proper monitoring of workers performance and increased workers satisfaction.
