Optimisation of IT teaching materials for students of humanities and social sciences

The demands of the 21st century mean that without digital competence and basic IT skills we cannot thrive in society. This is particularly true for students leaving higher education. Today, it is not only students in engineering and science who need to acquire ICT and IT skills. Although the latest version of the National Curriculum sets the development of digital competences as a task, the previous curriculum did not require students leaving public education to have these competences. For this reason, it is particularly important in higher education in the humanities and social sciences to develop digital competences in addition to IT skills. The paper presents the history of the introduction of IT and computing in higher education, and the process of how these subjects have been replaced in the humanities as well as in technical higher education because of the Bologna process. In addition, it presents the elements of the implementation of an IT course in an LMS system. It presents good practices and tools to increase not only students' knowledge but also their motivation, digital competences and interest in IT content.

Physical Approaches to Prevent and Treat Bacterial Biofilm.

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) presents several clinical challenges. This is in large part due to the formation of biofilm which can make infection eradication exceedingly difficult. Following an extensive literature search, this review surveys a variety of non-pharmacological methods of preventing and/or treating biofilm within the body and how they could be utilized in the treatment of PJI. Special attention has been paid to physical strategies such as heat, light, sound, and electromagnetic energy, and their uses in biofilm treatment. Though these methods are still under study, they offer a potential means to reduce the morbidity and financial burden related to multiple stage revisions and prolonged systemic antibiotic courses that make up the current gold standard in PJI treatment. Given that these options are still in the early stages of development and offer their own strengths and weaknesses, this review offers an assessment of each method, the progress made on each, and allows for comparison of methods with discussion of future challenges to their implementation in a clinical setting.

It does not require any special hardware or software tools except an IDE capable of building C++ applications for the desktop computer. It can be easily modified for different microcontrollers and thus can be useful if existing lessons need to be switched from in-person to distance learning at a short notice.

Theorising sociomateriality in online learning: cutting through the complexity

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the need to develop theory and practice in digital education. In this position paper, we expand on the research conducted in information systems (IS) on sociomateriality by applying it to online learning. The aim was to provide a theoretical underpinning for guidelines to reduce the complexity of social and material combinations in digital education. An overview of sociomateriality within IS research is provided, distinguishing between two sociomaterial perspectives to situate the research. A high-level review of student learning as the social and online learning as the material is applied to a four-quadrant model to unbundle the complexities within this space. Our perspectives are supported by feedback from a third-year information systems course that confirmed the merit of the model and broadened research in online learning. The model is further refined with a philosophical underpinning of Ackoff's four pursuits of humankind to provide recommendations for future interventions.

Research on the experimental principle of deep integration of LETS software and criminal procedure under the background of artificial intelligence

Abstract The teaching of law courses in Legal Experimental Teaching System (LETS) enables students to have a clearer understanding of the litigation process, master the format and production of various criminal litigation legal documents and train their communication and collaboration skills in litigation by cooperating to complete the experimental process. However, there are some shortcomings in experimental teaching using the LETS system, such as teachers being unable give real-time guidance and unable to reflect the principle of direct speech in litigation. Given these problems, this paper proposes a framework for the deep integration of LETS software and criminal litigation under the background of artificial intelligence (AI). First, it introduces the current situation and development of criminal litigation under the background of AI. Then, a set of AI parameters is designed based on the background of LETS software and criminal proceedings deep integration framework, and at the same time, the framework is used for intelligent learning criminal proceedings. The experimental results show that LETS software can better match the algorithm of the AI environment to push personalised criminal procedure learning courses. The experiment also shows that this framework can provide new ideas and development for the future study of criminal procedure.

Effects of Adherence to Once-Daily Treatment on Lung Function, Bronchial Hyperreactivity and Health Outcomes in Adolescents with Mild-to-Moderate Asthmoka: A Twelve-Month Survey.

Adolescents with asthma are usually insufficiently adherent to regular inhalation treatments, thus limiting their effectiveness. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of adherence to single-inhaler long-acting LABA/ICS dry-powder combination o.d. in affecting lung function, bronchial hyperreactivity, and health outcomes over a twelve-month survey of a group of non-smoking adolescents with mild to moderate asthma. Methods: Age, gender, BMI and atopy, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), maximum mid-expiratory flow (MMEF), and maximum expiratory flow at 25% of lung filling (MEF25) were assessed via a Boolean selection process from the institutional database at recruitment, as well as after 6 and 12 months, together with the incidence of exacerbation, school days that were taken off, GP and specialist visits, and systemic steroid and/or antibiotic courses. Adherence was checked monthly via a direct telephone call. Statistics were calculated with an ANOVA trend analysis, assuming p < 0.05. Results: Two well-matched sample groups of 54 subjects each were obtained. The mean annual adherence to treatment ranged from 48.2% doses ± 10.9 sd to 79.3% doses ± 8.8 sd (p < 0.001), regardless of age and gender. Only adolescents that adhered to the o.d. ICS/LABA inhalation regimen progressively achieved complete control of all lung function parameters (FEV1: 0.001; MMEF: p < 0.002; MEF25 < 0.001; <0.001), minimized their bronchial hyperreactivity (p < 0.001), and optimized all health outcomes (p < 0.001-p < 0.002) over the survey duration. Discussion: A good adherence to treatment is essential for asthma management, particularly in young patients. Factors that are totally independent of the complexity of the therapeutic regimen adopted (namely, only a once-daily inhalation in the present survey) probably represent the major reasons limiting the adolescents' adherence. Cultural, educational, behavioral, and psychological factors are frequently involved, are difficult to control, and can present barriers to adolescents' asthma management. Further studies aiming to deeply understand and possibly remove the reasons for such adolescents' attitudes are needed, in cooperation with actions oriented in this direction by families, educators, and health professionals.

National General (Liberal) Education College in the Era of Great Transformation

This essay investigates how to establish a Korean Liberal Arts College in the context of the University System Innovation debate, which is regarded as the best practical way to solve the problem found in the higher education academic structure in Korea.The problem with Korean universities is that basic science becomes weaker in the restructuring process. To solve this problem, we should understand that basic science is closely related to general education in undergraduate education. The way to solve this issue is to establish an independent academic structure to be responsible for general and liberal education, so called “Korean Liberal Arts College”. Among a few versions of the “Korean Liberal Arts College”, the National General (Liberal) Education College in the context of University System Innovation debate is proposed as a college that will provide undergraduate courses in the university system. This college will be evolved to be responsible for the general (liberal) education in undergraduate courses at the national level.

Online Course on First Aid in Emergency Medicine on the International Coursera Platform

The pandemic of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has had an enormous impact on the education system. Higher educational institutions were forced to adapt to remote interaction with students and urgently switch to online learning. Currently, there are many educational platforms, among which one of the leading is the Californian Coursera service. In 2020, Kazan Federal University developed and published the first Coursera course on first aid — “Staying Alive! First Aid in Emergency”. The purpose of the current study was to demonstrate the course results in one calendar year. We analyzed the general indicators of Coursera — the global online learning platform. We reviewed the course indicators from December 21, 2020, to December 21, 2021. The research assesses the advantages and disadvantages of using online courses in the medical education system. It was concluded that massive open online courses effectively teach theoretical disciplines. In case of implementation of applied courses, it is necessary to search and introduce new approaches for practical skill development.

Utilizing Immunoinformatics to Target Brain Tumors; An Aid to Current Neurosurgical Practice

Context: Despite major advancements in the field, the current neurosurgical practice requires an interdisciplinary approach. It is known that surgical practice and other cancer-eliminating treatments can be combined for optimal results. However, recent attempts have failed to address many debilitating conditions, indicating an emergent need for novel interdisciplinary therapeutic approaches. Evidence Acquisition: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for the keywords “immunoinformatics,” “in silico,” “neurology,” and “neurosurgery.” Without time restriction. Results: The immune system is versatile because it is involved in physiological brain function and affects the course of central nervous system (CNS) disease and infection. A novel approach combines neurosurgery and immunoinformatics for optimal results. For instance, brain tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), are still associated with a severely reduced survival of patients, and resection of tumors may provide little help. In silico approaches could help to identify molecular pathways and design immunotherapies for such conditions at a significantly increased speed compared to traditional vaccinology approaches. Conclusions: The neurosurgical practice could be affected by different infectious organisms. These organisms can be targeted by in silico vaccinology techniques. Here, we provide a brief overview of bioinformatics/immunoinformatics and discuss the possible role of immunoinformatics in neurosurgery. In light of the current Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, projections for future studies are also included.

In the general review, e-learning courses offered were at a relatively desired level. Due to the new e-learning in medical schools, there is a need to monitor e-learning sessions during the course.

Evaluation of the effect of COVID-19 mandated shift to virtual teaching on medical students' performance at King Khalid University, Abha

ObjectivesThe rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic required populations in most parts of the world to take drastic precautions. Face-to-face teachings were suspended, and the teaching and learning process was shifted to the virtual mode. This was a formidable challenge for students, teachers, parents, guardians, and academic administrators. The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of the shift to virtual mode on medical students' academic performance in general and systemic pathology courses. MethodsThe grades achieved in a quiz and practical test taken before the shift to virtual classes were compared to another quiz and practical exam taken by the same groups of students after several weeks of virtual teaching. The paired t-test was conducted to test the hypotheses, and SPSS software was used for data analyses. A short electronic survey was designed and sent to the targeted students (N = 103). The targeted students were also surveyed to understand their experience with e-learning during this time. ResultsIn total, 60% of the students reported their e-learning experience as valuable, and 84% prefer to have e-learning as part of the teaching and learning process even after normalcy is restored. The students' performance in the post-virtual tests was significantly better than that in the pre-virtual tests. ConclusionThe virtual learning format was well received by the students and influenced their academic outcomes. Institutes should provide training sessions for staff and students to address potential education drawbacks and provide modern educational technologies and simulation labs to enhance the educational systems.
