TEACHING ENGLISH TO POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS IN A TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT

One of the main tasks of training postgraduate students in graduate school is to develop competences necessary to present and discuss the results of their research work in a foreign language in oral and written forms, as well as to fully understand foreign language scientific texts in their specialty.In the last decades international scientific communication has shifted from a plural use of several languages to a clear dominance of English. The shift implies that an ever-increasing number of scientists whose mother tongue is not English have moved to English for publication and conference participation.A literature analysis and own experience revealed such problems of postgraduate students’ training in foreign languages as heterogeneity of the contingent with an unequal and often low initial level of language proficiency, a limited number of hours allocated for practical classes in English; a low level of self-directedness in language learning, a lack of elementary knowledge of the scientific discourse.In an attempt to solve these problems, the Department of Foreign Languages staff at Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University have developed and implemented a training course for postgraduate students in two, traditional paper and online, versions, the latter designed with the use of such a modern approach in language didactics as audiovisual translation appropriate for self-learning and flipped classroom activities. The course comprised three modules: scientific reading, academic speaking and academic writing. Besides, postgraduates with the elementary level of English were offered a grammar course covering all the basic grammatical topics necessary to formulate correct written and oral utterances. The effects of teaching English with the use of videos with recorded parallel bilingual vocabulary and texts placed on an online platform were compared to the results of the traditional teaching with the use of the paper copy. The research was carried out in the 2021-2022 academic year and aimed, firstly, to compare language skills of two groups of learners: those who studied the course with the use of audiovisual technology (the experimental group) with those who studied in the traditional mode (the control group); and, secondly, to reveal how the level of self-directedness changed in the process of the course study in both groups. The study involved a mixed approach of quantitative and qualitative methods to diagnose the level of learners' language competence and self-directedness. Our results indicate that the use of audiovisual translation in teaching foreign languages improves students’ language skills and increases autonomy in studies. It can be concluded that utilizing audiovisual translation due to auditory and visual support and opportunity for learners to study at their own pace has a significant impact on postgraduate students’ language proficiency though this approach requires further research and wider implementation.

Adequate Management of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Children in India.

Despite the significant burden of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in India, there are areas of unmet needs at every level of the health care system. This includes screening and recognition, reliable and valid tools to evaluate, and to adequately manage ASD. There are also gaps in education and training of medical professionals, paraprofessionals, special education teachers and the related services. Lack of public awareness and cultural factors contribute to delays in early recognition and interventions. A framework is suggested to address these unmet needs at various levels to improve the care of these children with ASD. These include a) a focus on education of medical professionals, paraprofessionals, and teachers; b) setting up infrastructure at community, regional, and statewide levels, with adequate funding; and c) use of audiovisual technology and collaboration with international expertise.

Ibridazione, corpi e media. Pratiche artistiche del video in Italia negli anni Ottanta

Historians and theorists of Italian art have usually dealt with the Eighties with sufficiency, reading it through the lens of disengagement and focusing on painting movements based on the return to manual expression and expressionist figuration, interpreted as a reaction to the conceptual practices that dominated the previous decade. Actually, painting represents only a small part of Italian artistic production in the postmodern era, a production whose peculiarity—and this is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the short-sighted historical reading of the period—consists in its being transdisciplinary. Indeed, in those years, a new generation of artists and cultural producers experimented with performative and media practices, moving with ease from the field of contemporary art to those of theater, television, music, design and visual communication. The use of audiovisual technologies, both video and personal computers, which saw mass diffusion in the 1980s, represents the trait d’union between these practices. Adopting an approach between the historical and the phenomenological, the article offers an "overview" of the artistic practices of video in Italy in the 1980s, articulating its discussion around three interpretative lines connected to the ideas of: hybridization, body and media. The article opens with some art-historical considerations. It then continues with an outline of the international artistic situation and references to post-modernist theories and the visual culture of the decade. Some typologies of experimental video practices in Italy are then outlined: video sculptures and installations; the relationships between video and theater; between video and design; between video and television; music videos; and computer art. The final part is dedicated to the capillary Italian network of production, distribution and fruition of video, which includes distributors, exhibition spaces, festivals and magazines. The article closes with some reflections on the evolution of the classification and historicization criteria in light of the most recent studies of visual culture.

Pedagogical scenarios enriched with audiovisual technologies and their impact on the promotion of the learning skills of inmate students in Portugal

Over the last decades and largely due to changes taking place in labour markets, there has been a pressing need to rethink pedagogical processes. Today, educational institutions face the challenge of not only having to create learning environments conducive to the acquisition of knowledge, but also scenarios suited to the development of learning skills. Our analysis will focus precisely on one of such scenarios and will determine its impact on the learning skills of twenty inmate students, based on the qualitative analysis of their perceptions and narratives and using the Pedagogical Model developed by Author (2017) for the design of e-learning activities focused on the “deconstruction” of moving images as a reference. The findings show that the design of the environment, based on this model and on the use of audiovisual technologies, can have very positive effects on inmate students’ self-learning in the following dimensions: Active Learning, Initiative and Autonomy.

The Development of Digital Competences and Emotional Skills Through the Use of Audio-Visual Technologies

School is more and more engaged in giving an importance to all that concerns the emotional aspects of an educational process with the goal to promote a total emotional development of the students. The aim of this paper is to explore the use of audio-visual technologies and products as instruments to help the socio-emotional education and to develop the digital competence in the educational field. The audio-visual communication has specific peculiarities that make it fit to reproduce the real world, so favouring the involvement of the public. In particular, the authors discuss the educational use of the movies in order to participate and commit in the digital culture, improving emotional awareness, controlling emotions, helping students to utilize their emotions in a positive way, developing their empathetic capacities, and controlling in a more functional way their own interpersonal relationships. The acquisition of all these capacities in the developmental years should have direct repercussions on the educational processes of the students.

Identifying Strategies for Effective Telemedicine Use in Intensive Care Units: The ConnECCT Study Protocol.

Telemedicine, the use of audiovisual technology to provide health care from a remote location, is increasingly used in intensive care units (ICUs). However, studies evaluating the impact of ICU telemedicine show mixed results, with some studies demonstrating improved patient outcomes, while others show limited benefit or even harm. Little is known about the mechanisms that influence variation in ICU telemedicine effectiveness, leaving providers without guidance on how to best use this potentially transformative technology. The Contributors to Effective Critical Care Telemedicine (ConnECCT) study aims to fill this knowledge gap by identifying the clinical and organizational factors associated with variation in ICU telemedicine effectiveness, as well as exploring the clinical contexts and provider perceptions of ICU telemedicine use and its impact on patient outcomes, using a range of qualitative methods. In this report, we describe the study protocol, data collection methods, and planned future analyses of the ConnECCT study. Over the course of 1 year, the study team visited purposefully sampled health systems across the United States that have adopted telemedicine. Data collection methods included direct observations, interviews, focus groups, and artifact collection. Data were collected at the ICUs that provide in-person critical care as well as at the supporting telemedicine units. Iterative thematic content analysis will be used to identify and define key constructs related to telemedicine effectiveness and describe the relationship between them. Ultimately, the study results will provide a framework for more effective implementation of ICU telemedicine, leading to improved clinical outcomes for critically ill patients.

The evolution of the modern criminal trial: a plethora of change

This paper explores changes over recent decades to the law governing a Queensland criminal trial, from committal through to the Judge’s summing up. Reforms have included: substantial removal of the accused’s entitlement to a committal hearing; the restriction of the exposure of child witnesses in relation to sexual offences; the prosecution’s enhanced duty of disclosure; the 1997 introduction of a facility for pre-trial directions hearings; the increasing scope for judges to instruct the jury, from trial commencement, since the 1980s; 1995 reforms in relation to jury empanelment, removing parties’ unlimited peremptory rights of challenge without cause; and changes to trial evidence presentation, with growing use of audiovisual technologies and restrictions on the cross-examination of rape complainants. The paper raises further possible reforms, such as strengthening the disclosure requirements of the defence and empowering judges to assist jurors’ understanding of what constitutes ‘beyond reasonable doubt’, with Victorian legislation as a model.

Virtual Family Meetings in the ICU Setting (P02.215)

Objective: To improve the quality of family meetings in the ICU by utilizing audiovisual technology. Background Family meetings in the ICU are crucial to determine the desired outcome for a patient who is often no longer competent or able to communicate. A common limitation is the absence of family members for geographical or temporal reasons. Through the use of audiovisual technology, such as Skype videoconferencing or conference calls, it is possible to bridge this gap. Design/Methods: This is a prospective, non-blinded, non-randomized cohort study. During phase 1 a six question survey was completed by family members and health care professionals after family meetings in our ICU. In phase 2 we will administer the same survey for family meetings that utilize Skype videoconferencing or conference calls. We will also measure data points that are relevant to an average ICU admission. Results: 37 family members completed the survey during phase 1. There was a high level of approval for the family meetings, with 62% of respondents strongly agreeing that they were satisfied with the meeting and 73% strongly agreeing that they were able to agree upon the patient9s wishes. However, 40% agreed that other family members could have been present and 19% felt that there were unresolved issues at the end of the meeting. Conclusions: The use of audiovisual technology during ICU family meetings has not been previously studied. Phase 1 data demonstrates that while the current level of satisfaction with family meetings in our ICU is high, a significant proportion of respondents felt there were unresolved issues at the end of the meeting and that the presence of additional family members was desired. We hypothesize that audiovisual technology will increase participant satisfaction and decrease the amount of time needed to arrive at important decisions, which could shorten ICU admissions and potentially alleviate patient and family suffering. Disclosure: Dr. De Havenon has nothing to disclose. Dr. Petersen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Hoesch has nothing to disclose.

Making the call: is telestroke cost effective?

Evaluation of: Nelson RE, Saltzman GM, Skalabrin EJ, Demaerschalk BM, Majersik JJ. The cost–effectiveness of telestroke in the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke. Neurology 77, 1590–1598 (2011).The clinical efficacy of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in acute ischemic stroke is proven, and the cost-efficacy of tPA is realized through reduction in disability and associated long-term care. Only a modest proportion of eligible stroke patients receive tPA. Potential barriers include distance from treatment centers and lack of local expertise and infrastructure. Nelson and colleagues describe a telecommunications strategy to facilitate increased delivery of thrombolysis. The analysis used a model based on an expert stroke-center ‘hub’ offering video-based liaison with several peripheral hospital ‘spokes’. Economic modeling suggested cost efficacy of this approach, albeit with all the caveats that come with long-term economic analyses of an acute stroke intervention. There is a clinical, ethical and economical imperative to increase uptake of evidence-based acute stroke therapies. These encouraging data suggest that use of audiovisual technologies may facilitate greater access to thrombolysis.

Remote care by telemedicine in the ICU

Telemedicine, by the use of audiovisual technologies, is increasingly being used to assist in patient care by ICUs unable to be staffed by consultant intensivists. This review discusses the recent evaluation of these services and their potential role in managing intensive care patients. Models of care range from complete remote 24 h surveillance requiring direct video observation to a consultation liaison service only requiring conventional telephone links. There has been a rapid adoption of such services especially in North America where access to on-site intensive care specialists is limited for the volume of intensive care being undertaken. Early work suggests savings in terms of cost and length of stay with an improvement in compliance with care protocols. However, later work is not as supportive of such services, possibly related to differing care infrastructures and the organization of individual units. The key task is to ascertain the most appropriate service requirements that would assist in care for a given patient circumstance. Clear benefits of ICU-telemedicine systems remain unclear but at least the systems appear safe. Formal reviews of the impacts and contribution of ICU telemedicine to processes of care, the effects on unit staffing, hospital organization, and the healthcare region are needed. However, ICU-telemedicine is available and being embraced by some, especially to deal with the tyranny of distance.

Use of technology to enhance student self evaluation and the value of feedback on teaching

Background: Assessment using case based practical exams that require demonstration of clinical practice skills and articulation of clinical reasoning is commonly used in undergraduate allied health and nursing professions. However, the student often struggles in understanding and evaluating their performance of practical skills in preparation for summative practical assessment tasks. The fear of attempting and completing practical tasks does not contribute to learning. Any means of encouraging self evaluation, refection and facilitating learning that is driven by the learner and not the assessor will contribute to the performance of the student in the short term and the practitioner in the future. Aims: This project used a mixed-methodological approach to explore the use of audio-visual technology to enhance 61 undergraduate physiotherapy students' practice of self evaluation and then sought to explore and understand the student experience of the activity and the teacher feedback provided. Findings: Themes relating to the students concerns, strengths and levels of self-confidence were identified. Refection on the student feedback provided and the implications for teaching are also discussed.
