Current Trends in Fixed Prosthodontics Education in Undergraduate Dental Colleges.

The objective of this study was to explore current trends in undergraduate fixed prosthodontics teaching at undergraduate dental level education. This cross-sectional descriptive study included close-ended questions to inquire about the teaching practices of fixed prosthodontics at Bachelor of Dental Surgery level education. Electronic copies of the survey forms were sent to the heads or directors of department of prosthodontics responsible for undergraduate dental students teaching and learning in various institutes of Sindh by the help of Google forms in December 2020. The form included questions on sociodemographic details and questions inquiring the theoretical and clinical teaching practices in undergraduate fixed prosthodontics course. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS 25. Frequency distribution and percentages of categorical variables were recorded. Out of total 18 dental institutes of Sindh, 15 returned the completely filled form, giving a response rate of 83.3%. Seven (46.7%) schools teach various fixed prosthesis in the preclinical years to their students. All 15 colleges carry out didactic teaching and provide exposure by live clinical demonstrations for various fixed prosthesis. Faculty of 12 (80%) dental colleges where fixed prostheses are being constructed in the dental outpatient department mentioned that their students observe or assist the clinical procedures during their clinical rotation; but none of the students fabricate any type of fixed prosthesis in the clinical setting during their undergraduate years. Didactic teaching and live clinical demonstrations of fixed prosthodontics is being carried out in all dental colleges of Sindh. Almost half of the dental schools teach crown preparation on phantom teeth during their preclinical course. Contrary to this, none of the students fabricate any type of fixed prosthesis in the clinical setting during their undergraduate years. As these procedures are not included in the current undergraduate curriculum, recommendations should be forwarded to governing educational body of the country to include cases of fixed prosthesis in their skill set prior to their graduation.

Research on Biopharmaceutical Talent Cultivation Assessment Based on OBE Model

With the advancement of science and technology and the global prevalence of COVID-19, the biopharmaceutical talent cultivation has become increasingly important and played a more prominent role.

Research on the Civics Teaching of Programming Courses in Colleges and Universities

At present, the programming courses in colleges and universities focus on theoretical and practical teaching, and the integration of curriculum thinking and politics with teaching content is low, which cannot shape students' values and cultural outlook in the process of teaching professional courses. In response to this problem, this paper proposes a systematic framing method of curriculum thinking and politics cases under mixed teaching mode based on project-based teaching of college programming courses, which can effectively improve the teaching effect and promote students' all-round development by tapping the thinking and politics elements.

Overview of Penitence Law in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the Middle Ages

In the study, the author focuses on penitence law in the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia, and specifically on the territory of the Prague ecclesiastical province, i.e. in the Prague and Olomouc dioceses. Confession also became the subject of normative regulation in medieval ecclesiastical law, taking on the character of a legal institution. The decree Omnis utiusque sexus, promulgated at the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, made it compulsory for each resident in a parish to make a confession to his or her parish priest once a year. The provisions of the conciliar decree were taken into the papal code Liber extra in 1234. Confession thus became an institution of canon law. Confession was regulated more closely at ecclesiastical province and diocese level by provincial and diocesan statutes, the most important of these being the provincial statutes of Arnošt of Pardubice from 1349. A certain set of sins was reserved for the diocesan bishop or the Pope to absolve. Numerous manuals for administering the Sacrament of Penance (summae confessorum, poenitentiale) were used for the theoretical instruction and practical needs of confessors. The most widespread in the Czech lands were Summa de casibus poenitentiae by Raymond of Peñafort and Summa Pisana by Bartholomaeus de Sancto Concordio. Several such penitentials were also created in Bohemia, written by Bishop Robert of Olomouc, Hermann of Prague, Štěpán of Roudnice, Sander Rambow, Matthew of Cracow, Štěpán of Kolín, and Václav of Dráchov.

Empowering preservice English teachers with language assessment literacy concepts and practices: Application of Vygotskian concept‐based language instruction

AbstractLanguage teachers are expected to engage in classroom assessment practices and report on learners’ progress aligned with proficiency standards, as well as prepare learners for external examinations. The term “language assessment literacy” (LAL) describes what the constituency of language instructors needs to know about assessment matters. Traditionally, a top‐down perspective has been provided for language teachers, such as through textbooks and testing courses. However, the result of this top‐down, decontextualized approach is that teachers often seem unable to influence and change the policy. Accordingly, this article reports on a study framed within sociocultural theory, in which a group of preservice English teachers applied Gal'perin's model of systemic theoretical instruction, brought into second language education as concept‐based language instruction (C‐BLI), to internalize and apply LAL concepts in instructional contexts. Results of the study suggest that C‐BLI was more effective than a top‐down, textbook‐based teaching approach in facilitating preservice teachers’ understanding of LAL concepts. It also helped them become active agents of their own language‐testing practice. Implications of the study are trifold. First, the C‐BLI intervention empowered preservice teachers on the design of classroom‐based assessments. Second, it brought positive washback to the instructional plan and English curricula. Third, the intervention helped form the dialectical unity of theory and practice, which contributed to the teachers’ professional development in English‐as‐a‐foreign‐language contexts.

Research on the Teaching Reform of Macroeconomics Based on the OBE Concept

At present, the traditional macroeconomics course teaching has obvious defects-the single teaching means, the strong theoretical teaching content, the lack of innovative assessment methods, cannot meet the requirements of quality-oriented education reform and adapt to the development of modern economic society. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the traditional macroeconomics teaching mode, this paper puts forward the reform of the teaching of macroeconomics based on the OBE education concept of “student-oriented, achievement-oriented and continuous improvement”. Under the new teaching concept, do take the student as the center, through the results oriented teaching (OBE), with ability target oriented, in order to enhance classroom participation, enhance the interactive teaching, improve students “learning initiative as the goal, improve the students” knowledge ability and thinking ability, effectively promote the macroeconomics classroom teaching quality.

Exploration on the Teaching of Public Art Courses in Colleges and Universities from the Perspective of "Educating People with Etiquette"

Art is a discipline with a long history and rich contents. Tracing back to the development of Chinese art, all are combined with "ceremony". Film and television art is a comprehensive form of artistic expression integrating music, performance, costume modeling, dance, etc. The importance of film and television works in the construction of cultural images and the dissemination of mainstream values has become increasingly prominent. Many film and television works are permeated with the connotation of "ritual culture". Through the exploration of theoretical teaching and practical teaching of Film and Television Appreciation, this paper actively promotes the reform and innovation of teaching ideas and methods of public art courses. While "educating people with courtesy", it also emphasizes "educating people with courtesy", and organically combines China's excellent traditional courtesy culture with the public art education of contemporary college students, with a view to improving the cultural quality and moral level of contemporary college students.

Putting undergraduate medical students in AI-CDSS designers’ shoes: An innovative teaching method to develop digital health critical thinking

IntroductionDigital health programs are urgently needed to accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Clinical Decision Support Systems (AI-CDSS) in clinical settings. However, such programs are still lacking for undergraduate medical students, and new approaches are required to prepare them for the arrival of new and unknown technologies. At University Paris Cité medical school, we designed an innovative program to develop the digital health critical thinking of undergraduate medical students that consisted of putting medical students in AI-CDSS designers’ shoes. MethodsWe followed the six steps of Kern’s approach for curriculum development: identification of needs, definition of objectives, design of an educational strategy, implementation, development of an assessment and design of program evaluation. ResultsA stand-alone and elective AI-CDSS program was implemented for fourth-year medical students. Each session was designed from an AI-CDSS designer viewpoint, with theoretical and practical teaching and brainstorming time on a project that consisted of designing an AI-CDSS in small groups. From 2021 to 2022, 15 students were enrolled: they rated the program 4.4/5, and 80% recommended it. Seventy-four percent considered that they had acquired new skills useful for clinical practice, and 66% felt more confident with technologies. The AI-CDSS program aroused great enthusiasm and strong engagement of students: 8 designed an AI-CDSS and wrote two scientific 5-page articles presented at the Medical Informatics Europe conference; 4 students were involved in a CDSS research project; 2 students asked for a hospital internship in digital health; and 1 decided to pursue PhD training. DiscussionPutting students in AI-CDSS designers’ shoes seemed to be a fruitful and innovative strategy to develop digital health skills and critical thinking toward AI technologies. We expect that such programs could help future doctors work in rapidly evolving digitalized environments and position themselves as key leaders in digital health.

Логика. Логики. Судьба

The article considers peculiarities of communicative processes, social and personal, in the fate of two generations of logics of Moscow University: the sixties and seventies. It is shown that in the general system movement of the sixties in our country its special place was occupied by the logic and methodology of science. The Logicians-Sixties were in fact fighting for the right to exist in the country of classical formal logic and at the same time for the right to correspond to the current level of development of logic. The influence of the Sixties on the formation of intellectual biographies of logicians-seventies, who engaged in scientific and theoretical research and teaching of three externally different directions of logic, formed in the seventies in the West: critical thinking, informal logic, argumentation theory. It is shown that a small university group of friends-logicians, as it were, divided in their research into these three areas of development of logic, at the same time being present, to one degree or another, in each of them. It presents a special system of human relations that developed between the sixties and the seventies, between teachers and students and within each of the subgroups in the general atmosphere of the philosophical faculty of Moscow State University in the 70s.

Study on our Project to set up Learning Objectives and Pedagogical Activities for the Training of Urology B Residents in Terms of Management of Urological Emergencies

The training of residents in urological surgery is short: 5 years. It is well known that theoretical teaching alone is insufficient. It is therefore imperative to complement it with practice. The hospital supervision of residents in the surgical services encounters numerous difficulties related to the specificity of surgical specialties, part of whose care activity takes place in operating rooms. Establishing precise and relevant educational objectives that are realistic and achievable is crucial.

Using role play to develop positive attitudes toward people with disabilities among dental students: An exploratory pilot study.

Comprehensive and interprofessional undergraduate teaching and training in special care dentistry (SCD) could influence future dentists' attitudes towards patients with disabilities. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of role play as part of SCD training on the attitudes of undergraduates towards patients with disabilities. The students attending the SCD module during the autumn semester of 2019 comprised our target population. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare the attitudinal scores between three groups of students exposed to different modalities of SCD teaching: group 1 - didactic teaching (N=92), group 2 - didactic teaching and clinical training in the dental treatment of children or elderly patients with disabilities (N=142), group 3 - theoretical teaching and clinical training, accompanied by role play sessions featuring persons with disabilities (N=20). The contact rate was 100%. The outcomes of the intervention were measured using the altruism scale, which forms part of the International Association for Disability and Oral Health (iADH) Toolbox for measuring attitudes and intended behaviors towards persons with disabilities. The analysis revealed the two-factor structure of the nine-item altruism scale. The first factor was described as the acceptance of oral health care as a universal human right, while the second was the perception of the contribution of marginalised groups, including people with disabilities, to the community. The students participating in the role play scored higher on both factors in comparison to those attending other modes of SCD training. The presented findings suggested role play as a powerful tool in fostering positive attitudes towards persons with disabilities in the education of dental students and highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary training.

Multi-factor analysis of the effects of graphene oxide nanoplatelets on self-healing polymer composites based on micromechanical FE simulation

To investigate the effects of graphene oxide (GO) nanoplatelets and mixed self-healing microcapsules on the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites, a multi-factor analysis was made based on numerical experimental results, which comprehensively reveals the influences of structural parameters (including the volume fraction, aspect ratio, orientation of GO and the content of self-healing microcapsules). A series of micromechanical FE models of nanocomposites containing randomly-distributed nanoplatelets were established and validated by experimental data. The competing failure mechanisms of matrix damage and interface debonding have been fully considered in the simulation. The significance levels of the nanocomposite’s structural parameters were quantitatively determined finally, and it was found that the volume fraction is the most significant factor and the aspect ratio is the next (the weights are 46.1% and 21.7%, respectively). The work would provide effective theoretical instructions in the material design and optimization of GO-reinforced self-healing polymer nanocomposites.

Exploring the Teaching Reform of Industry-Education Integration in Engineering Ethics and Project Management Course

Engineering ethics and project management are the most extendable courses in the quality course group, which is the characteristic core curriculum system of measurement and control technology and instrument specialty. This course is divided into two parts: engineering ethics and engineering project management. In view of the society's increasing emphasis on engineering ethics and the key role of engineering project management in solving complex engineering problems, the traditional purely theoretical teaching method is no longer suitable for the new teaching needs in the contemporary context. Therefore, in order to improve the teaching quality and the students' learning effect of the extensible and open knowledge, the major of measurement and control technology and instrument of Changzhou Institute of Technology invited the technical directors of representative enterprises in the industry such as Changzhou Promise Management Consulting Co., Ltd. to analyze the classroom cases of relevant knowledge, so as to realize the teaching reform of industry education integration of joint teaching between schools and enterprises. Bring the latest industrial status and development trend of measurement and control technology and instrument technology into classroom teaching, effectively improve teaching quality, and deeply cultivate students' engineering ethics and project management awareness.

The study recommends that the development of secretarial professional education must be based on correctly handle the relationship between theoretical classroom teaching, practical office training with the emphasizes on systematically incorporate the 4.0 professional attitude with the skills and knowledge as proposed by industries

The Effectiveness of Technology-Based Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training on the Skills and Knowledge of Adolescents: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for adolescents is a prominent strategy to increase the number of community first responders who can recognize cardiac arrest and initiate CPR. More schools are adopting technology-based CPR training modalities to reduce class time and reliance on instructor availability and increase their capacity for wider training dissemination. However, it remains unclear whether these technology-based modalities are comparable with standard training. This study aimed to systematically review and perform meta-analyses to evaluate the effectiveness of technology-based CPR training on adolescents' CPR skills and knowledge. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Education Resources Information Center, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, and Scopus from inception to June 25, 2021. Eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) compared technology-based training with standard training for adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. Studies were appraised using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager (The Cochrane Collaboration). Subgroup analyses were conducted to explore sources of heterogeneity. Overall certainty of evidence was appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. Seventeen RCTs involving 5578 adolescents were included. Most of the studies had unclear risks of selection bias (9/17, 53%) and high risks of performance bias (16/17, 94%). Interventions that included instructor guidance increased the likelihood of adolescents checking the responsiveness of the person experiencing cardiac arrest (risk ratio 1.39, 95% CI 1.19-1.63) and calling the emergency medical services (risk ratio 1.11, 95% CI 1.00-1.24). Self-directed technology-based CPR training without instructor guidance was associated with poorer overall skill performance (Cohen d=-0.74, 95% CI -1.02 to -0.45). Training without hands-on practice increased mean compression rates (mean difference 9.38, 95% CI 5.75-13.01), whereas real-time feedback potentially yielded slower compression rates. Instructor-guided training with hands-on practice (Cohen d=0.45, 95% CI 0.13-0.78) and the use of computer programs or mobile apps (Cohen d=0.62, 95% CI 0.37-0.86) improved knowledge scores. However, certainty of evidence was very low. Instructor-guided technology-based CPR training that includes hands-on practice and real-time feedback is noninferior to standard training in CPR skills and knowledge among adolescents. Our findings supported the use of technology-based components such as videos, computer programs, or mobile apps for self-directed theoretical instruction. However, instructor guidance, hands-on practice, and real-time feedback are still necessary components of training to achieve better learning outcomes for adolescents. Such a blended learning approach may reduce class time and reliance on instructor availability. Because of the high heterogeneity of the studies reviewed, the findings from this study should be interpreted with caution. More high-quality RCTs with large sample sizes and follow-up data are needed. Finally, technology-based training can be considered a routine refresher training modality in schools for future research.

Study on the mechanism affecting the quality of micro-hole in ultrasonic-assisted drilling of high-speed circuit boards

High-speed circuit boards are created to meet the high-speed signal transmission requirements of 5G communication technology, but the non-polar resins, flat glass fibers, and multiple and hard fillers used for this purpose have posed new challenges to their micro-hole processing. The quality of micro-hole has always been a decisive factor in board performance. Therefore, this paper aims at proposing a new processing method for improving the micro-hole drilling quality of high-speed circuit boards. By establishing an ultrasonic-assisted drilling tool motion model, analyzing the changes in drilling method, material deformation, chip breakage, and chip removal during ultrasonic-assisted drilling of printed circuit boards, the influence mechanism on micro-hole quality during ultrasound-assisted drilling is studied prudently. Besides, an experimental platform for ultrasonic-assisted drilling is designed and built, and single-factor experiments for verification of ultrasonic effects, optimization of drilling parameters, and orthogonal experiments for ultrasonic-assisted drilling of high-speed circuit boards are conducted on this platform. The experimental results show that the loading of ultrasonic vibration has made an obvious improvement on several machining defects including hole wall roughness, entrance burr, and nail head in micro-hole drilling of high-speed circuit boards. In addition, the influence order of each processing parameter and a better combination of them are discovered, which provides a theoretical research basis and instructions for the improvement of micro-hole quality of high-speed circuit boards.
