Research on the improvement of educational technology and teaching quality in local colleges and universities from the perspective of high-quality development

Educational technology teaching has become particularly important in the context of the current information age. However, there are many problems in educational technology teaching in local universities, such as insufficient technical equipment and foundation, insufficient teacher technical training, uncoordinated technology integration, and insufficient educational technology policy and planning. This paper mainly discusses how to improve the teaching quality of educational technology in local colleges and universities from the perspective of high-quality development, and proposes corresponding solutions to promote the improvement of the teaching quality of educational technology in local colleges and universities.

Risk Factors Analysis and Prediction Model Establishment of Intestinal Metaplasia or Dysplasia in Patients With Chronic Atrophic Gastritis: A Multi-Center Retrospective Study.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors and construct a prediction model of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) patients with intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia.MethodThe clinical data of 450 patients with CAG who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Gastroenterology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2016 to February 2022 were collected. Single and multiple factors logistic regression analysis were used to explore the risk factors of intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia in patients of training cohort. Then, we constructed a model to predict the onset of intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia based on the data of training cohort, following which we tested the model in an external validation cohort of 193 patients from a local university teaching hospital. The ROC curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction model.ResultHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori, HP) infection, pepsinogen I, gastrin-17, and the number of lesions were found to be independent rick factors of the model. The liner prediction model showed excellent predictive value in both training cohort and validation cohort.ConclusionHP infection, pepsinogen I, gastrin-17, and the number of lesions are independent risk factors for intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia in patients with CAG. The prediction model constructed based on these factors has a high accuracy and excellent calibration, which can provide a great basis for condition assessment and individualized treatment of the patients.

A Study on the Training Model of the Bilingual Teachers in Local Universities and Colleges

Based on the demand of local universities and colleges to bilingual teachers, drawing experience from successful methods and patterns in bilingual teachers training, combining with the situation of local universities and colleges, we should correctly fix on training purposes, adopt various training methods, and effectively establish the encouraging and appraising mechanism, building effective training model of bilingual teachers for local universities and colleges, looking forward to training a batch of teachers adapting to bilingual teaching in local universities and colleges, providing personnel support and intelligent guarantee for boosting the development of local universities and colleges.

Why are there so few world-class universities in the Middle East and North Africa?

This article explains why there are so few world-class universities in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region today. It first summarises the systemic exogenous economic, political and social problems facing all countries in the region, and the impact of these on the development of their higher education sectors in recent times. Then, with reference to the Times Higher Education and Webometrics rankings of the world’s leading universities, the article describes several endogenous explanations for the absence of world-class universities in the 19 countries of the MENA region. These include the lack of strategic investment in research and teaching in local universities; the absence of intellectual freedom and the constraints imposed on the free expression of ideas in all MENA universities; the failure of universities in the region to encourage, monitor and reward high-quality and high-impact research (and teaching) in the natural and social sciences, the humanities and the liberal arts; and the anti-scientific mind-sets of local ruling political elites, many Islamic theologians, and those who are responsible for the oversight and administration of universities in the region. The limitations of this exploratory study and suggestions for future research are then described. The article concludes by explaining why it is highly unlikely that the political and educational leadership of countries in the MENA region will initiate the institutional higher education reforms that would be required to build world-class research-teaching universities in the foreseeable future.

The Study of the Teaching Models and Prospects of Bilingual Teaching in Local Universities of China - A Case Study of Leshan Normal University, Sichuan

<p>In present China, bilingual teaching, as an education model, can meet an urgent demand for increasing interdisciplinary talents who have high levels of professional knowledge as well as competent foreign language abilities to deal with the ever-increasing global social, economic, scientific and technological exchanges, and international cooperation. Bilingual teaching is now developing fast in many local universities in China. However, the result is far from satisfaction. Inappropriate teaching strategies, learning materials as well as insufficient qualified bilingual teachers bring about the students’ lack of learning motivation, and thus to hamper the development of bilingual teaching. It is hoped that this paper can enrich the knowledge of bilingual teaching in local universities of China and provide useful and valuable information for students and teachers who are interested in this field. At the same time, it also provides a useful guidance for the future bilingual teaching practitioners.</p>

The Reform and Practice of Architectural Teaching System in Local Universities under the Background of Energy Conservation

In order to realize the diversification and differentiation development of architecture professional teaching in local universities under the background of energy conservation, we must scientifically determine the training objectives, arrange reasonable relevant courses, adjust to enrich teaching contents, and continuously enrich the teaching methods. Thus we will form professional framework adapting to the development of local, which reflects the different characteristics of architectural specialty.

Study on the Strategy of Improving the Quality of Talent Cultivation in Local Colleges and Universities

This paper studies how to improve the quality of talent cultivation in local colleges and universities in china. It first analyzes the challenges to the local colleges and universities, and puts forward the basic way to realize the sustainable development of local colleges and universities to promote employment as the goal to improve the quality of personnel training. We find that there are two barriers to the quality of local colleges and universities to improve the quality of personnel training, that is, the impact of external reputation and internal teaching mechanism. Therefore, the paper analyzes the adverse effects of reputation mechanism on local colleges and universities from the perspective of game theory, and puts forward the characteristics of local colleges and universities should promote the construction of local colleges and universities, and strengthen the reputation management. Finally, taking "econometrics" as an example, this paper analyzes the influence of curriculum teaching on the quality of talent training, and thinks that the local university teaching should be clear about the orientation of training, strengthen the course construction.

Domestic violence and postnatal depression in a Chinese community

Objectives: To study the relationship between domestic violence and postnatal blues/depression in a Chinese community. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study on 838 women after delivery in a local university teaching hospital. Between October, 2000 and February, 2001, all Chinese speaking women after delivery were invited to be interviewed by a designated research nurse using the Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS) to detect the incidence of domestic violence, the nature of violence and the perpetrator of abuse. Demographic data, pregnancy outcome, Stein's Daily Scoring System (SDSS) scores on day 2 or 3 postdelivery, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores on day 2 or 3 postdelivery, 1–2 days after discharge from hospital and at 6 weeks postdelivery were compared between the abused and non-abused groups using Student's t-test, χ 2-test and Fisher's exact test as appropriate. Results: A total of 139 women (16.6%) had been abused in the last year (the abused group). Of these, 87 (10.4%) had been abused during the current pregnancy. The nature of abuse was mainly verbal. Fourteen women (1.7%) had been sexually abused in the last year. The husband/boyfriend, mother-in-law and employer/colleague were the most common perpetrators of abuse. Socio-demographic factors did not differ between the two groups except that pregnancy was more likely to be unplanned in the abused group ( P=0.002). The pregnancy outcome did not differ. However, the abused group had significantly higher SDSS and EPDS scores at all stages of screening ( P=0.003, P=0.000, P=0.010 and P=0.001, respectively). Conclusion: The findings supported our hypothesis that the effect of domestic violence on Chinese pregnant women is mainly on their psychological well-being.
