MTT-S Student Fellowship and Scholarship Deadlines

중학교 꿈사다리 장학생 성장기록 연구

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze scholarship usage history and growth records submitted by scholarship students every month and to present implications for systematic scholarship management. Methods From 2018 to 2020, the monthly use of scholarships and monthly growth records for 514 dream ladder scholarship students were analyzed through text mining. Results According to a comparative analysis by dividing the Key words of the growth record book into three stages in 2018, 2019, and 2020, “study” topped the list for the entire period. Compared to students' growth records from 2018 to 2019, “test” appeared as the top keyword for dream scholarship students in 2020. If you look at the words that frequently appear in the growth records of dream scholars living in the city center, there are “mid-term exams,” “final exams,” and “preparation.” This revealed that dream scholarship students who went to high school felt burdened by the test. Compared to students living in rural areas, students in urban areas recorded more details of their studies and resolutions to prepare for the exam in their growth record book. Conclusions Dream scholarships should encourage students to concentrate on their studies and continue to discover and support them so that they can use them where they need to. In addition to the teacher in charge, monitoring personnel for dream scholarships should be dispatched separately to help students understand the contents of growth records, utilize scholarships, and monitor growth through the system. In addition, various programs are needed to strengthen students' awareness of goals and challenges, such as psychological and emotional support, counseling, and mentoring camps through mentors.

Extension projects as transformers of society: A report of experience of students of the Centro Universitário Senac, Águas de São Pedro campus, with APAE São Pedro (SP).

Higher education goes beyond the development of technical skills, and plays a central role in the social transformation of the environment in which it is inserted. This role is fostered within institutions through research, teaching and extension. This work is a report of the experience of students of the APAE of São Pedro, within the extension project "APAE no Senac", carried out by the Centro Universitário Senac, Águas de São Pedro campus (SP). Its purpose was to promote the social inclusion of these people, given that one of the main functions of gastronomy, since the discovery of fire, has been to bring people together. The APAE students were able to gain experience of activities of the degree in gastronomy technology by applying cooking and recipe replication techniques, in a controlled environment, in twelve demonstrative and practical classes, accompanied by project scholarship students and advisory professors from the HEI. The classes were developed in the kitchens and restaurant laboratories of the college. It was observed that there is potential for replicability of the work model, due to its characteristics and the low investment required. There is also potential to generate the teaching experience for HEI students and social inclusion for APAE students, through the mastery of new tools and techniques in the area of gastronomy.

Sistem Informasi Pemilihan PTN Pada Sekolah Menengah Tingkat Atas Negeri 4 Bogor

The growth of several universities in Indonesia indicates that the knowledge gained is important for life or for finding work. The process of selecting universities, especially public universities for students is a complicated process and they may make a mistake in choosing a public university which in the end makes them feel they have wasted a lot of time. Therefore, the need for a computer-based system is deemed necessary to meet the information needs. This study uses the SDLC and waterfalls methods while the data collection is done by using the methods of observation, interviews, and literature study. The determination of the selection of this university will use the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method as a determinant of the weight of each criterion to determine the priority of each university. For the manufacture of this system used the Unified Modeling Language (UML) design model. This study aims to produce a system design that can be used for the selection of state universities and can assist in providing evaluations based on student and student criteria, including location, accreditation, scholarships, facilities and SMEs.

An Innovative Use of Twitter to Disseminate and Promote Medical Student Scholarship During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Usability Study.

BackgroundDue to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the cancellation of in-person learning activities forced every aspect of medical education and student engagement to pivot to a web-based format, including activities supporting the performance and dissemination of scholarly work. At that time, social media had been used to augment in-person conference learning, but it had not been used as the sole platform for scholarly abstract presentations.ObjectiveOur aim was to assess the feasibility of using Twitter to provide a completely web-based forum for real-time dissemination of and engagement with student scholarly work as an alternative to a traditional in-person poster presentation session.MethodsThe Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University launched an online Medical Student Scholarship Forum, using Twitter as a platform for students to present scholarly work and prepare for future web-based presentations. A single student forum participant created posts using a standardized template that incorporated student research descriptions, uniform promotional hashtags, and individual poster presentations. Tweets were released over 5 days and analytic data were collected from the Twitter platform. Outcome measures included impressions, engagements, retweets, likes, media engagements, and average daily engagement rate.ResultsDuring the conference, the student leader published 63 tweets promoting the work of 58 students (55 medical and 3 dental students) over 5 days. During the forum and the following week, tweets from the @BrodyDistinctly Twitter account received 63,142 impressions and 7487 engagements, including 187 retweets, 1427 likes, and 2082 media engagements. During the 5 days of the forum, the average daily engagement rate was 12.72%.ConclusionsUsing Twitter as a means of scholarly dissemination resulted in a larger viewing community compared to a traditional in-person event. Early evidence suggests that social media platforms may be an alternative to traditional scholarly presentations. Presenting via Twitter allowed students to receive instantaneous feedback and effectively network with wider academic communities. Additional research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of knowledge uptake, feedback, and networking.

Towards a model for determining patent revenue odds: An empirical study of technology transfer offices

AbstractTechnology transfer offices (TTO) were created with the mission of executing innovation policy and its technology transfer to industry. Most studies regarding TTO focus on the context of developed countries, so there is a lack of research on the subject in emerging economies, such as Brazil. In addition, the issue of how diverse the skills of the team of a given TTO should be for their best revenue performance is still little addressed. In this sense, the present study aims to identify which characteristics of the TTO, related to their human resources, influence obtaining revenue from the patents that constitute their portfolios. To achieve this objective, 272 TTO in Brazil were analysed with the help of the Logistic Regression technique, based on Maximum Likelihood Estimation. A remarkable conclusion that emerges from our results is that the universities to increase their revenue must invest in full‐time employees (e.g., rather than in scholarship students, as tends to be the norm) and foster the inventions' communications, as well as to attract and retain employees with skills directly related to knowledge fields such as Law, Engineering, and Communication (quite surprisingly, Management and Economics graduates are not included). The combination of these factors can increase the probabilities or odds of a given TTO obtaining revenue. Thus, our results contribute to TTO human resource practices, especially those in structuring stages, such as those in Brazil and Latin American countries.

Sara Ahmed’s Politics of Citation and Student Scholarship: Uncovering Indigenous Co-authors of British Folklore Collections

In 2021, I taught an introductory literary seminar in which students read the folklore of colonized subjects and supernatural fiction by writers of color who had lived under British rule or Western imperial influence. We partnered with Adrian Wisnicki's digital humanities project One More Voice to create an online anthology and video series that critically frame folklore collections from Japan, India, South Africa, and Jamaica. The students learned about Sara Ahmed's politics of citation and applied her ideas in giving credit to the Indigenous coauthors who sourced, transcribed, and translated oral folktales for British colonizers. I argue that we should regard the students as scholars who modeled ways of undisciplining Victorian studies in their work on Lafcadio Hearn and Setsu Koizumi's Kottō (1902).

Keywords: SWOT Analysis, Zakat and Waqf Management, Strategy

Discordance between clinical and post-surgical staging of patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective audit of lung cancer surgery with curative intent from a single pathology practice

Clinical staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by CT and PET, with or without endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration of lymph nodes (EBUS-TBNA), is essential for prognostication and to direct treatment. Clinical understaging can lead to inappropriate radical excision of the primary tumour with no clinical benefit, whereas overstaging might deprive patients of beneficial or potentially curable treatments. Although not widely documented, several reports have indicated a suboptimal concordance between clinical and post-surgical staging. This study has investigated the incidence of discordance between clinical and post-surgical staging of operable NSCLC cases evaluated at PathWest Fiona Stanley Hospital (Perth, WA, Australia). The study formed part of an approved Quality Improvement Activity and included patients with NSCLC who underwent lobectomy between Jan 1, 2016, and Dec 31, 2021, at hospitals serviced by the PathWest anatomical pathology department at Fiona Stanley Hospital. Data from pathology, imaging, and EBUS-TBNA or biopsy reports were retrieved from digital medical records databases and multidisciplinary meeting notes. A project database designed and established in REDCap was used to collect and analyse data. 419 patients (216 [52%] women, 203 [48%] men) in the age range of 20·5-85·8 years (median 69·2 years [IQR 63·3-74·5]) were included. EBUS-TBNA was done for 121 (29%) patients and imaging results (from CT, PET, or both) were available for 406 (97%) patients. Discordant clinical and post-surgical T and N staging were evident; post-surgical T stage was higher in 96 (23%) cases and lower in 54 (13%) cases. Eight tumours staged post-surgically as N1 had been clinically staged as N0. For ten cases with unforeseen N2 involvement, clinical staging was N0 (n=4), N1 (n=3) or not available (n=3); surgery might not have been necessary for these patients. Median times between CT and lobectomy (105 days [IQR 77·0-143·0]), PET and lobectomy (79 days [56·0-109·0]), and EBUS-TBNA and surgery (59 days [42-94]) were outside of Australian guidelines, which recommend a time to start of treatment for lung cancer of less than 42 days from initial referral. Time intervals between final screening study (imaging or EBUS-TBNA) and lobectomy before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (2016-19 and 2020-21, respectively) were significantly different (p=0·019). It is noteworthy that Western Australia had not recorded high numbers of COVID-19 cases during that time. This study has identified substantial disagreement between clinical and post-surgical staging of NSCLC. Discordance between clinical and post-surgical T and N staging might have led to different treatment pathways for some patients. To improve the accuracy of clinical staging of NSCLC, the sensitivity, specificity, and interpretation of imaging and lymph node cytology, as well as the timeliness of treatment (clinical care pathway) would each need to be evaluated. Strengths of this study include the large number and lack of selection of cases, and the small number of medical service providers. Weaknesses include the absence of outcomes data for these patients. Overall results are consistent with previous and historical investigations of hospital and clinical trial cohorts. OT is the recipient of a student scholarship from the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia that funded this work.

Penerapan Algoritma Entropy Dan Aras Menentukan Penerima Beasiswa Mahasiswa Berprestasi Di Pemerintah Kabupaten Labuhanbatu

In handling scholarship data for outstanding students, the Labuhanbatu Regency government in general still uses manual recording, namely by using a ledger and there is no computerization in determining the receipt of scholarships for outstanding students, so there are many mistakes in determining it.
 The problem faced by the many recipients of scholarships for outstanding students who are not appropriate so that those who deserve to receive do not receive and those who do not deserve to receive scholarships. This problem occurs because of the difficulty in implementing the selection of scholarship recipients due to the large number of applicants and the number of the same criteria in receiving scholarships. So that mistakes often occur To apply for a scholarship at the People's Welfare Office in the Labuhanbatu Regency government, students must fill out a form containing data from the student, such as Grade Point Average (GPA), Parents' income, Number of Siblings, Number of Dependent Parents. The ranking process in receiving scholarships uses the Entropy Method in giving weighting to the criteria objectively and the ARAS Method, which is a suitable method in determining the calculation of weights based on predetermined criteria and ranking from a set of alternative data that kick each other. So that it can reduce the errors that have been faced so far.

Prevention of Smoking in Scholarship Students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Artemisa

Introduction: Young people expose dissimilar reasons as justification for tobacco consumption. The presence of smoking in university students studying medicine and nursing becomes a challenge for institutional authorities, in their purpose of solving the health problem. Objective: to design an action plan for the prevention of smoking in scholarship students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Artemisa. Methods: a descriptive, prospective longitudinal study was developed with 211 smoking scholarship students from the aforementioned entity in the period from January 20 to March 25, 2020. Procedures were used such as: documentary review, observation, survey, focus group, brainstorming, and cause and effect diagram. Results: 22 causes were identified that favored the increase in smoking, six correspond to strategic and organizational gaps; seven are related to teachers; five correspond to the methodological teaching process and four are linked to educational work. Likewise, an action plan focused on seven objectives, 18 activities and four indicators was developed to evaluate the implementation process. Conclusions: The smoking prevention strategy applied to smoking scholarship students at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Artemisa does not ensure the reduction of this toxic habit, which is potentially vulnerable with the proposed action plan.

Selection of Candidates for Academic Scholarships Using Analytical Hierarchy Process (Ahp) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) Methods at National University

The National University administers several scholarships for new students each year. The problem is, the University does not yet have a standard method for determining beneficiaries. They have difficulty in determining prospective scholarship recipients with the same criteria. In fact, sometimes it only relies on people's instincts, which can be subjective. The University should implement a DSS system to overcome this problem. Therefore, in this study, the AHP method is applied and used to weight the criteria and test the level of consistency so that the criteria are in accordance with the type of scholarship. In addition, the SAW method is also used for determining scholarship recipients according to the quota. The results of this study are the priority weights of the importance of each criterion, namely the average value of report cards (0.35), parents' income (0.23), certificates (0.05), affidavits of not working and receiving scholarships (0.15), year of graduation (0.11) and number of certificates (0.10). The consistency ratio value is 0.03741 indicating the weight is consistent. This study also resulted in the best ranking of candidates for academic scholarships, with a result of 0.93. The average value of the application test results using the TAM method is 80.5%.

Fostering student and faculty scholarship in an accelerated three-year medical school.

Background: In acknowledgement of the importance of research competency in academic medicine, an extracurricular student research program and faculty development researcher pathway was developed to promote scholarly productivity at New York University (NYU) Long Island School of Medicine (LISOM), a three-year accelerated Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME)-accredited medical school. The aim was to enhance medical students' and faculty scholarly productivity, by creating new training programs targeting research skills and academic collaboration. Impact was assessed by initial review of the extracurricular student research program and faculty development researcher pathway. Methods: Electronic surveys via Google were sent out to all current (n = 72) students on 9/20/2021 and the faculty identified based on their primary appointment to NYU LISOM in the learning management system on 9/17/2021 to determine participation in research, presentation of research findings, satisfaction with the program, and research opportunities for students. Student scholarly productivity was tracked using PubMed, restricted to search years 2020 through 2022. For the faculty development researcher pathway, publications were tracked for each participant before and after completion of the program, with pre- and post-completion dates ranging from 2012 through 2020. Results: Student survey results (29 responses out of 72) indicated 28% of students were involved in research with institutional faculty and 59% were interested in starting a research project. Most students involved in extracurricular research were satisfied with their experience and eight students have publications with faculty. For the faculty development researcher pathway, 35% of the participants increased publications after program graduation. Conclusions: Outcomes from the student research program and faculty researcher pathway were positive regarding student research engagement and faculty scholarly productivity, though long-term outcomes are yet to be evaluated. Progress will be tracked as students continue through undergraduate and graduate medical education, and as both students and faculty progress throughout their career.

ПЕДИАТРИЧЕСКОЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ В РФ: ПРОБЛЕМЫ И ПРЕДЛОЖЕНИЯ

The article briefly presents the milestones of the formation of pediatric education and pediatric service in the USSR and the Russian Federation, described the achievements in this direction. It is shown that today there are reserves for improving the health indicators of children and adolescents in the Russian Federation: reduction of infant and child mortality, reduction of morbidity and disability. The achievement of these goals is possible subject to overcoming a number of serious problems that have been preserved in pediatric education. The main ones are a low level of knowledge of applicants entering medical universities; the decline in the quality of education coupled with an increase of students in groups, and the lack of practical skills training for students; the lack of own clinical facilities of the most of the universities and their insufficient provision with the officially approved educational literature of high quality; the decline in the prestige of the university teacher profession and motivational incentives installed incorrectly to improve the quality of teaching; low scholarships for residents and graduate students. On the basis of the analysis, recommendations to remedy the situation are presented.

Challenges of Learning Postgraduate Class with No Prior Work Experience: A Phenomenological Study

The main purpose of this research was to explore the lived experience of students who learn postgraduate classes without having prior work experience. To achieve the intended objective, the team of researchers used a qualitative research approach. The phenomenological research design was used to have the real lived experience of novice scholarship students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussion, and unstructured participant observation. The participants were ten postgraduate students who enrolled in the College of Education and Behavioural Sciences at Bahir Dar University. Data analysis was guided by Smith’s Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, and we construct themes based on data we obtain from participants. The study revealed that postgraduate students with no prior work experience have both good and bad experiences. The good experiences were related to the opportunity they have to learn at a young age, and the bad experiences were the challenges they faced as a result of being novices in the work environment. They faced psychological challenges, economic challenges, language-related challenges, lack of information about the world of work, sexual harassment, and other challenges. At the end of the research, we infer implications based on the findings of the research.
