The teacher's role as a facilitator in the classroom can be maximized because topics can be accessed anywhere and anytime.

The Construction and Realization of the Precise Funding Platform for Impoverished Students in Colleges and Universities Driven by Computer Intelligence Technology

At present, the state’s financial aid for students from financially disadvantaged families is increasing, and the number of students receiving financial aid is also increasing substantially. Poor students have to run back and forth to submit various materials while busy with their own studies, which causes a lot of inconvenience to students and teachers. The development of the poverty-stricken student precision funding platform frees teachers from tedious and low-end work and engages in core affairs, which improves the overall efficiency of school affairs and the controllability of information. In this context, this paper uses computer intelligence technology to realize the construction of the precise funding platform for impoverished students in colleges and universities (CAU) and completes the following tasks: (1) the research status of precise funding for impoverished students in CAU at home and abroad is introduced. (2) The SSI frame structure diagram of the funding information management platform is designed and the specific function description and detailed design of the relevant modules are given. (3) The module function test and system function test of the platform designed in this paper are completed through experiments. The results show that the system is very stable, and the functions are perfectly realized.

When I say … burnout.

In the world of wellness, 'burnout' might as well be a God term. But what do we really mean when we say, "I'm burned out." And is this one little word enough?

Post-Baccalaureate Federal Loans De-Subsidization: Impacts on Compositional Attributes, Extensive and Intensive Borrowing Margins, and Anticipatory Effects

ABSTRACT The 2011 Budget Control Act eliminated the in-school interest subsidy for graduate and professional students borrowing under the Stafford Loan Program. As a result, starting on July 1, 2012, graduate and professional students borrowing Stafford Loans became responsible for the interest accruing during their in-school deferment period. This study assesses the effect of this de-subsidization on students’ compositional attributes (e.g. gender, ethnicity, income), borrowing behaviors (e.g. extensity or participation in and intensity or magnitude of borrowing), total annual amounts borrowed, sources of lenders, and anticipatory effects (i.e., changes in borrowing behaviors based on the knowledge of policy change before this policy was implemented). To address this goal, we relied on repeated cross-sectional data drawn from three iterations of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study. We found evidence of compositional changes that signaled a reduction of white and an increase of first-generation in college for graduate students. We found no evidence of declines in student loan participation; however, we found anticipatory effects with about 45,000 (6%) graduate and professional students maxing out their allowed Stafford amounts before July 2012, a strategy that allowed graduate students continuing graduate school enrollment to be grandfathered this subsidy into the new policy era. Although debt burden increased by 3.86% post-policy, effect heterogeneity tests indicated that law students decreased their total debt amounts by 18.8%, with 83% of this reduction resulting from borrowing less from Stafford loans.

"For Women Only!": A Radical Message of the Black Middle Class in Kansas City

"For Women Only!"A Radical Message of the Black Middle Class in Kansas City Elyssa Ford (bio) The Kansas City [Missouri] Call, published from 1919 to the present, has been one of the largest and most successful Black newspapers in the country. This article examines the depiction of Black women in the Call in the 1950s, a decade of significant change in Kansas City. As a midwestern crossroads, Kansas City had seen its Black population grow substantially in the previous decade as rural African Americans arrived seeking new urban opportunities. Some of these new Kansas City residents came from the Missouri countryside or from surrounding midwestern states. Others were part of the Great Migration out of the South and either planned to make Kansas City their permanent home or saw it as simply a temporary stop before moving northward to Chicago or Detroit. Regardless of their origins, the increased Black population of 1950s Kansas City read the Call at a key time in the publication's history. The civil rights movement was ramping up, and the newspaper was changing editors for the first time. Under these circumstances, the paper's depiction of Black women relied significantly on the politics of respectability.1 While the Call sometimes presented women as activists, it more frequently paralleled White newspapers in its presentation of women in more traditional roles. Stories discussed women as college students, often as beauty contest winners; featured female musicians and actresses in the entertainment section; and included women in the society and wedding pages. While these articles did not differ significantly from those in White newspapers, to present Black women as models of success and beauty was inherently radical. The Call also included the weekly feature "For Women Only!," which focused on women as wives and mothers and included recipes and cleaning tips. This corresponded with the prescribed 1950s model of womanhood and mirrored the presentation [End Page 77] of ideal womanhood that also appeared in White newspapers. Yet to present Black women and Black families as middle class challenged popular conceptions of Blackness in the era. By depicting the typical Black woman as the counterpart to a White middle-class woman, the Kansas City Call aligned with an activist agenda of civil rights and social change based on racial uplift and made a gender- and socioeconomic-based argument that was revolutionary. In the 1950s, reformers' depictions of Black women as middle class, respectable wives, mothers, and daughters was nothing new. Booker T. Washington had promoted the idea of racial uplift in the late nineteenth century. For him, a focus by African Americans on thrift, industry, hard work, and education would raise up the race and eventually lead to an expansion of their civil rights.2 Though men were often the focus of these efforts, Black women soon became leaders of the racial uplift movement, and they formed their own organizations to support this race work. Black women founded the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) in 1896, and the organization focused primarily on the uplift of the Black race. After seeing Black men fail to achieve racial equality and because the voices of Black men were more limited by Jim Crow-era violence, Black women believed that it was up to them to improve the stature of all African Americans. As historian Deborah Gray White has explained, "To build the black home was to build the black nation. At the center of it all was the woman." The association believed that Black women were responsible for uplifting the race through "intellectual development and cultural refinement." By the 1940s, club women began to adjust their focus from using the moral purity of Black women to uplift the race to helping uplift the race to improve their rights as women.3 Despite this evolution, the Missouri branch of the NACW still followed the earlier tenets of the national motto, "Lifting as We Climb," by continuing to emphasize intellectual development. In 1954 the Missouri group promoted three main goals: the integration of Missouri public schools, strengthening and improving family life, and building a student aid and scholarship fund.4 Founded in 1919 by Chester A. Franklin, the Kansas City Call had likewise...

How Has the Post-9/11 GI Bill Affected Veteran Students’ College Loans? A Longitudinal Analysis of NPSAS Using Propensity Score Weighting

ABSTRACT Using data from four waves of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) in 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016, this study examines the effect of the PGIB on veterans’ student loans. Results indicate that the PGIB has significantly affected veteran students’ borrowing behavior, with an average $1,100 reduction in Stafford Loans. Veteran students attending for-profit institutions experience a larger loan decrease than their peers at public and private nonprofit institutions. In addition, loan reductions have occurred mainly at the extensive margin. The decrease in student loans is relatively small compared to the increase in veterans’ education benefits under the PGIB, partly due to a rise in the cost of attendance after the implementation of the PGIB, driven by a higher proportion of veteran students attending for-profit institutions. Finally, loan reductions vary across veteran students.

Application of Traditional Rubber Rope Game To Improve High Jump Athletic Skills

Traditional game rubber rope or jumping rope is a game that resembles a rope composed of rubber bands that can be used as a means of playing as well as sports. The rope used is made of interwoven rubber bands that are widely available around us. How to play can be done individually or in groups.This research was conducted because the learning of jumping was not attractive to the fifth grade students of SD Negeri 1 Jatisari, Pakisaji District, Malang Regency. The value of the learning outcomes obtained by students is 50% below the specified KKM. This study aims to determine the improvement of jumping learning with rubber band rope aids in fifth grade students of SD Negeri 1 Jatisari, Pakisaji District, Malang Regency.This research is a classroom action research, with a research model from Suharsimi Arikunto, consisting of planning, action, observation and reflection. The subjects in this study were the fifth grade students of SD Negeri 1 Jatisri, Pakisaji District, Malang Regency, totaling 22 people. Data collection techniques using observations (observation data) and student test results (performance tests). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the increase in jumping results through the rope game for fifth grade students of SD Negeri 1 Jatisari, Pakisaji District is marked by an increase in grades in each class. Learning to jump using a rubber rope game approach has a positive impact on improving student learning outcomes. This can be seen from the increasing understanding of students' understanding of the material presented by researchers in cycles I and II. In the first cycle, the completeness of learning outcomes reached 72.72%, while in the second cycle, the completeness of learning outcomes reached 81.81%. This shows an increase in student athletic learning outcomes by 9.09%. The process of learning to jump using a rubber rope game is dynamic and fun. Students actively carry out tasks and observe high jump and long jump movements and techniques. The jumping ability of students increases marked by the score of many students who complete the KKM (Minimum Completeness Criteria) which is 70.

Dermoscopy of Onychomycosis: A Systematic Review.

Onychomycosis represents a global burden accounting for about 50% of nail consultations. Several studies have tried to assess the dermoscopic features of onychomycosis. With the multiplication of papers, several "new" dermoscopic signs keep being added leading to some inconsistency in onychoscopic terminology. This study aimed to summarize the existing literature on the dermoscopic features of onychomycosis and propose a unified onychoscopic terminology. The literature search was performed using PubMed and Scopus databases up to October 30, 2021 to identify eligible contributions. In total, 33 records (2111 patients) were included. The main dermoscopic signs of onychomycosis are "ruin appearance", "longitudinal striae" and "spikes" on the proximal margin of onycholytic areas, with a specificity of 99.38%, 83.78%, and 85.64% respectively. The "aurora borealis" sign had the highest sensitivity and specificity. The current review provides a framework for issues related to the onychoscopic terminology of onychomycosis and is intended to serve as an aid for students, teachers, and researchers. We proposed a unifying terminology to describe dermoscopic signs of onychomycosis. Dermoscopic signs of onychomycosis show good specificity and are useful in distinguishing nail psoriasis, trauma, and onychomycosis. It helps differentiate fungal melanonychia from nail melanoma, nevi, and melanocytic activation.

Animated teaching improves student learning of human gastrulation and neurulation

Human embryology is a complex topic that brings together core components of anatomy and physiology to describe the developmental process from fertilisation to birth. Embryonic development is a challenging topic of study that is core to the curricula for health science students. There are challenges ingrained in teaching and learning embryology, due to the three-dimensional dynamic processes that occur as the embryo develops. This study aimed to develop and assess two newly developed animations depicting key processes in embryology, namely gastrulation and neurulation, as supplemental learning aids for students. Indeed, animated teaching tools to enhance the learning of gastrulation and neurulation are not widely available. A multi-disciplinary team of physiologists, biochemists, anatomists, and a computer scientist developed the animation sets. A student cohort of 81 first-year health science students were enrolled in this study over a period of three academic years. Both animations are in line with the course content of the first-year health science students undertaking the Human Health and Disease BSc at Trinity College Dublin, who were the study participants. Participants were randomly assigned to a non-animation control group and an animation group. Each set of animated teaching aids was broken down into individual clips which were given identifiable headings to allow the user to interchange between clips to facilitate a more personal learning experience. The animation group had open access to the animations for a three-week period. Questionnaires were designed to assess participants’ attitude to the animations and their knowledge of embryology, both at the start of the study and three weeks later following access to the animations. Data presented herein indicate that students incorporated the animated teaching aids into digital home study and that the use of the animations acted as a supplemental tool that increased student knowledge in key areas of human embryology. From a qualitative point of view, students described the animations as enjoyable and helpful in visualising complex processes. This study indicates that the development of gastrulation and neurulation animated learning tools allow for a more engaging learning experience, facilitating student’s engagement with academically challenging concepts in human embryology.

Infrastructures of Sociality: How Disadvantaged Students Navigate Inequity at the University1

Through an ethnography of college life in India, I examine the role of social ties in navigating the inequities of university life. I analyze the socialities of sharing knowledge and resources among disadvantaged students, which I call “infrastructures of sociality.” “Infrastructure” designates here two things: first, the role of the university's infrastructure—its physical spaces and organizational routines—in enabling social ties; and second, the fact that these social ties literally function as infrastructure, in that they make university life possible for disadvantaged students, especially in the context of institutional neglect. I therefore advance Bourdieusian scholarship that views social ties among disadvantaged students as merely lacking in social capital, arguing instead that these ties constitute a form of non‐dominant social capital that is analytically distinct and powerful in its own right. Yet, I suggest that these social ties are a double‐edged sword: while the intensive mutual aid of disadvantaged students makes university participation possible, it nonetheless rests on exclusion from more privileged social groups. Thus, despite mitigating exclusion from the university, infrastructures of sociality also inadvertently participate in the reproduction of inequality, by reinforcing exclusion from the elite cultural and social resources circulating among privileged students.

Prep your campus for the opportunity to offer Pell Grants to incarcerated students

The U.S. Department of Education announced it will reinstate Pell Grant eligibility for incarcerated students, starting with the 2023–2024 academic year, reversing a 1994 decision that barred incarcerated people from accessing Pell funds. That decision came with the passage of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid Simplification Act and will go into effect July 1, 2023. Findings by the Prison Policy Institute found that restoring Pell Grant access could make approximately 463,000 people eligible for free college courses.
