Influence of Preferences on the Use of Information Resources by the Library and Information Science Undergraduate Students in South-South, Nigeria

Background: The use of information resources by the Library and Information Science (LIS) undergraduate students in Delta State, Nigeria, was addressed based on diverse learning preferences, a critical factor potentially influencing academic success. Purpose: This research aimed to explore learning preferences among LIS undergraduate students and assess the influence on the use of information resources. Method: A correlational research design was applied, including 325 students selected through multi-stage sampling from seven state-owned universities in Delta, Edo, and Rivers states. Furthermore, data were collected through questionnaires, with 268 valid responses at an 82% retrieval rate. These were analyzed with descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, and mean) as well as inferential statistics (Pearson’s product-moment coefficient, and ANOVA), with a criterion mean of 2.50 and an alpha level of 0.05. Result: The results showed that the students had varied learning preferences, including verbal presentations (68%), physical interaction with materials (66%), and watching educational videos (64%). Preferences significantly influenced the use of information resources (Agg. x̄ = 2.83), with a positive correlation between these two variables (r = .907, p < 0.05). Additionally, a significant difference was observed between the education level of students and learning preferences (F = 2,265 = 1189.172, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The students were found to benefit majorly from the combination of traditional and modern teaching methods. Mutual collaboration between university librarians and coordinators of information resources with the faculty was recommended to ensure the correspondence of educational materials to learning preferences.

Efficacy of a full management model in daytime surgery for gastrointestinal polyps based on WeChat: A study protocol for randomized controlled trials.

The objective of this study is to improve the efficiency of daytime surgery for gastrointestinal polyp and ensure the safety of patients. We tried an information management method based on WeChat platform in patients undergoing daytime gastrointestinal polypectomy and to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of a full management model. Five hundred and ninety-three patients were randomly divided into two groups: the control group was treated with traditional management methods and the experimental group was treated with the whole-process management mode based on the WeChat platform. The WeChat platform-based full management model included establishing a day surgery management WeChat group, developing multidisciplinary, full-management protocols and processes for day surgery, establishing an information-based surgical scheduling system and adopting diverse forms of day surgery education and continuity of care. This feature included illustrated brochures, vivid verbal presentations, WeChat public numbers and Internet management platforms. The treatment time, hospitalization cost and patient satisfaction of the two groups were counted. In the experimental group, 408 patients were enrolled. The preoperative waiting time and patients' length of stay were 3 days and 1 day, respectively. The medical and nursing intake time was 7 min. The procedure cancellation rate and postoperative complications rate was 0.07% and 0.02%. In the control group, 185 patients were enrolled in the study, The preoperative waiting time and patients' length of stay was 7 days and 3 days. The medical and nursing intake time was 28 min. The procedure cancellation rate and postoperative complications rate were 0.13% and 0.05%, respectively. The hospitalization costs were reduced by an average of $140/person and the satisfaction scores were higher than the control group. In summary, the preoperative waiting time, medical reception time, surgical cancellation rate, length of hospital stay and hospitalization cost in the observation group were less than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Patient satisfaction scores were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Through the full management model based on WeChat, the preoperative waiting time, medical reception time, surgical cancellation rate, length of hospital stay and hospitalization cost in the experimental group were less than those in the control group. Patient satisfaction scores were significantly higher than those in the control group and the difference was statistically significant.

Music-driven geometric and topologic intuition: a case study with the Klein bottle

The comprehension of mathematical notions can profit from the personal background of a population of students, drawing upon their former knowledge in another field. In particular, the embodiment of mathematics provides us with a bridge to transfer competencies from music to intuitive understanding of non-trivial geometries and topologies. In this study, we analyse an experiment in which music composition students are introduced to the Klein bottle for the first time. Through the Ontological and Semiotic Approach (OSA), a conceptual framework in mathematics education, we evaluate the evolution from an initial intuition of the Klein bottle to a formal understanding of the object via musical renditions and verbal presentations to both neophyte and specialist audiences in mathematics.

E077 Evaluation of group education for patients with large vessel vasculitis prescribed subcutaneous methotrexate

Abstract Background/Aims Patient education in rheumatology is of proven value to educate as well as to reduce demand on health care services. This can be delivered in a multitude of ways, in person and more recently with the use of multi-media modalities. There is limited evidence to specifically demonstrate the benefit of patient education for patients with vasculitis. Education needs to be adapted to meet patient needs. In addition to one-to-one appointments, we have been conducting in-person group education for this patient group. We present our experience. Methods Patients prescribed subcutaneous methotrexate for large vessel vasculitis were given the opportunity to attend a group education session run by the specialist nurse. The sessions were held over a 4-month period, in groups of 3-5 individuals. Patients were provided with written information including the links to online resources prior to attending the group education session which consisted of a verbal presentation and a short video. Patients also had the opportunity to ask questions during the group session. If patients were happy to proceed with the planned treatment, a prescription for the subcutaneous methotrexate was provided and initial blood monitoring commenced. After attending the group session, patients were given an evaluation form to complete Results The responses from the evaluation forms are shown in the following table: Conclusion Group education has proved to be a successful way of providing education to patients with large vessel vasculitis needing to learn about the indications for use, along with the safe handling and administration of subcutaneous methotrexate.

Early Emergency Medicine Milestone Assessment for Predicting First-Year Resident Performance.

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires emergency medicine (EM) residency training programs to monitor residents' progress using standardized milestones. The first assessment of PGY 1 resident milestones occurs midway through the first year and could miss initial deficiencies. Early assessment of PGY 1 EM resident milestones has potential to identify at-risk residents prior to standard midyear evaluations. We developed an orientation syllabus for PGY 1 residents followed by a milestone assessment. Assessment scores helped predict future milestone scores and American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) In-Training Examination (ITE) scores for PGY 1 residents. From 2013 to 2020, we developed and implemented Milestone Evaluation Day (MED), a simulation-based day and written exam assessing PGY 1 EM residents during their first month on the 23 ACGME 1.0 milestones. MED stations included a history and physical with verbal presentation, patient simulation, vascular access, wound management, and airway management. MED, Clinical Competency Committee-generated (CCC-generated) milestone, and ABEM ITE scores were averaged and compared utilizing Pearson's correlation coefficient. Of 112 PGY 1 EM residents, 110 (98%) were analyzed over an 8-year period. We observed a moderate positive correlation of MED and CCC-generated milestone scores (r = .34, p < .001). There was a nonstatistically significant weak positive correlation of MED and ABEM ITE scores (r = .13, p = .17). An early assessment of EM milestones in the PGY 1 year can assist in the prediction of CCC-generated milestone scores for PGY 1 residents.

Efficacy of Behavioral Economic Nudges to Assist Teen Mothers: the Healthy Adolescent Transitions Randomized Controlled Trial.

Communities may often lack the resources to deliver intensive programs to assist teen mothers, and many eligible adolescents may decline participation in lengthy interventions. Therefore, alternative approaches involving less resource and time may be needed. Behavioral economics (BE) can inform the development of such novel interventions. BE often feature low-intensity approaches designed to "nudge" people to help them reach their long-term goals. Nudges can include giving reminders, making the desired behavior more convenient, and optimizing the verbal presentation of recommended options. Three hundred thirty-one American adolescents (ages 14 to 19) who were 22 to 35weeks pregnant were enrolled in the present trial. One hundred sixty-six participants were randomly assigned to the intervention condition featuring a three-month BE intervention delivered by a registered nurse and social worker. The remaining 165 youths were assigned usual care. Surveys were completed at baseline, 3months, 12months, and 18months. Data collection occurred from 2017 to 2021. Qualitative feedback indicated that the BE intervention was well-received by adolescents. However, there were no significant differences between the intervention and control groups at any time point regarding repeat pregnancy, contraceptive usage, financial literacy, school completion, job attainment, HPV vaccinations, nicotine usage, perception of having a medical home, urgent care/ED usage, and nutritional intake (all p > .05). Our findings suggest that a BE-based intervention may not be sufficient to facilitate change for teen mothers. Future programs should consider lasting longer, featuring a higher dose, and/or incorporating systems-level changes. This trial was prospectively registered (NCT03194672 clinicaltrials.gov).

Evaluation of the Impact of Maternal Educational Models on Early Childhood Caries in Preterm Infants

Purpose: This prospective cohort study aimed to assess the impact of different educational models on maternal awareness and dental caries development in preterm infants. Methods: This study included 56 preterm infants and their mothers. Participants were divided into two groups based on the education models provided to their mothers: visual and verbal education (Group 1) and verbal education alone (Group 2). Mothers received either visual or verbal presentations focusing on maternal oral hygiene, early childhood caries, and infant oral hygiene. Training and oral examinations were repeated at 3-month intervals for 18 months. Intraoral examinations of the infants were performed again 9 months after the last visit. Demographic factors, oral hygiene and caries development were assessed through clinical examinations and questionnaires. Results: There is no significant difference in demographic variables between the two groups. Both education models significantly increased maternal knowledge, as evidenced by pre-test and post-test scores (p=0.001). However, no statistically significant difference was observed in caries development between the two groups (p=0.322). Only verbal education and visual and verbal education methods were effective in preventing early childhood caries. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that both visual and verbal educational models, repeated at frequent intervals, effectively increase maternal knowledge about oral and dental health in preterm infants.

Organising Rhetorical Components in Verbal Presentation of Scientific Research Outcomes: A Systematic Scoping Review

Background: The rhetorical structure of various genres of written scientific communication has been extensively covered in articles by contemporary researchers from different countries. However, the rhetorical structure of oral scientific presentations accompanying the presentation and defence of graduation theses, scientific research, and others has not received the same level of detailed study and attention. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of presenting conducted research significantly influences the degree and depth of its further acceptance by the readership.&#x0D; Purpose: to summarise the literature on the rhetorical structure of verbal presentation of scientific research results accompanied by a presentation. &#x0D; Materials and Methods: We conducted a search of the Scopus bibliographic databases on March 2nd, 2023, and carried out a related grey literature search on March 27th, 2023. We screened the titles and abstracts of the retrieved records. From these records, we extracted demographic characteristics related to the rhetorical structure of oral presentations representing scientific research results. Following this, we extracted passages from empirical studies that described empirically derived moves and steps in speeches during oral presentations. These moves and steps were summarised and presented in the form of a universal matrix for the oral presentation of scientific research results.&#x0D; Results: In the result of the search request 63 articles were found. Having screened all the papers we revealed that only 11 of them met our predetermined inclusion criteria. All these papers were journal research articles. It is worth stating that the majority of the studies were dedicated to rhetorical structure in written presentation of scientific research outcomes and there is a lack of papers related to moves and steps of verbal presentation of scientific research outcomes.&#x0D; Conclusion: This systematic scoping review identified the moves and steps highlighted by authors in the reviewed articles within the oral speech accompanying the presentation of scientific research results to an audience. This matrix can be used to construct a more effective oral presentation of scientific research outcomes. Limitations of the work include the restriction to English language articles and the fact that the methodological quality of the articles included in our extraction was not assessed.

Reducing inequalities among species through an arts-based inquiry in early childhood teacher education

This article is based on a study in outdoor arts-based education with Norwegian early childhood teacher students. Their teachers of drama and art &amp; crafts (also the researchers and authors of this article) facilitated the specific arts-based learning environments and posed the following question: Which qualities of arts-based learning environments can challenge students to seek toward reduction of inequalities between themselves and more-than-human others? Four narratives were constructed from four of the students’ visual, verbal and audio presentations of their experiences from the outdoor places they engaged with. The students described their processes of connecting to the more-than-human inhabitants of those places, and more-less explicitly expressed changes in their attitudes toward the inhabitants and materials encountered at the places. The narratives, and their analysis, make visible how the students’ arts-based engagements challenged their anthropocentric values and could potentially lead to reduction of inequalities between themselves and the more-than-humans they met at the places. The discussions at the end of the article focus on the first part of the research question and sum up four qualities of the arts-based environments that were present in the four narratives. These qualities are imagination, self-initiated actions, emphatic connections, and time for aesthetic engagement. Cover photo: "Student D" (anonymous".

Comic Attack: Mark Twain and the N-word in the Classroom

Abstract The n-word in Huckleberry Finn is a marker of bigotry as satirized by Mark Twain, but teaching it as humor requires preparation. The “NewSouth” edition without the n-word may be an alternative to the standard text, but a “CRASH!” of lightning provides drama for verbal presentation. Jonathan Swift, Petroleum V. Nasby, and Twain himself offend readers by using satire to expose social evils. After working with preparatory texts by such authors, students can be led to see how repeated intrusions of the n-word signal bad thinking and stupefied conscience even in “good” characters. The n-word becomes more and more intense throughout the novel because Twain is demonstrating how the mistreatment of Black Americans is an on-going problem. As students process the expanding irony, they can become more aware (and more angry) at how even good intentions can be ironically misdirected if the human subjects remain victims of unthinking prejudice through one word.

Enjoy to read and enjoy to shop: An investigation on the impact of product information presentation on purchase intention in digital content marketing

Our study examines the impact of product information presentation on consumers’ purchase intention through information processing (i.e., utilitarian and hedonic browsing) in the context of digital content marketing. This study initially confirms that the combination of social-oriented text with concrete images as well as task-oriented text with abstract images yield higher congruence since verbal and visual product information presentation are under the same construable level. Given this, we have conducted an experiment with a 2 (product information presentation: social-oriented text with concrete image vs. task-oriented text with abstract image) × 2 (product type: search product vs. experience product) × 2 (gender: females vs. males) (N = 202) between-subjects design. The results reveal that social-oriented text with concrete images encourages consumers to generate more hedonic browsing, thereby, higher purchase intention. These effects are contingent on the product type and gender, where females exhibit a greater intention to buy experience products when product information is presented in social-oriented text with concrete imagery compared to task-oriented text with abstract images, which is mediated by hedonic browsing. Our findings offer insights to managers for optimizing product information presentation in the realm of digital content marketing.

Online ve Yüz Yüze Yapılan Aile Hekimliği Kongrelerinin Bildiri Raporlama Kalitesinin Değerlendirilmesi: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma

Objective: Our study aimed to evaluate the paper reporting quality of the 18th National Family Medicine Congress, which was held face-to-face before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 19th National Family Medicine Congress, which was the first online congress during the pandemic, according to the STROBE criteria. Methods: Our study is cross-sectional analytical. Oral and poster abstracts accepted and included in the congress abstract book were included in the study. A total of 266 abstracts were reviewed. STROBE score was created out of 11 points in total by giving a "1" point if the abstract included the feature in each item and a "0" if it did not. The STROBE scores were compared by evaluating the abstracts separately by two different reviewers. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, Student's t-test, Pearson correlation, and Mann-Whitney U test were used. The statistical significance level was taken as p&amp;lt;0.05. Results: Although the rate of verbal presentations was higher in the online congress, there was no significant difference between the congresses regarding the types of papers. In 93.2% of the papers, sampling was not done, or it was not stated that it was done. All of the 18 papers stated to be sample calculations were verbal. When all papers were included, the mean STROBE scores of verbal papers were statistically significantly higher than the scores of poster papers in both reviewers. When the presentation scores according to the congresses were examined, no significant difference was found between the 18th and 19th National Family Medicine Congresses in the same groups. Conclusion: The online congress format did not affect the reporting quality of the papers. Both congresses have good reporting quality but have the potential for improvement.

Always ask your pharmacist: Using the media to enhance student drug information skills

Background and purposeSocial media is a source for information and misinformation, including healthcare information. Pharmacy students are trained to critically assess health information literature; however, this does not typically extend into assessing claims made on social media platforms. Students were asked to evaluate social media claims to provide a patient-specific recommendation and response. Educational activity and settingEach student was given one of five media claims and asked to assess the validity of the claim to create a response and a recommendation for a provider and a patient. Students were placed in small groups for a verbal presentation of all the claims and a facilitator-led discussion about the pharmacist's role in healthcare information. FindingsStudents responded to the media claims and were able to support or reject the validity of the statements. They also created a variety of patient-facing informational documents. SummaryThe inclusion of questions derived from media sources is a unique way to incorporate drug information skills that is relevant to real-world practice.

The article examines the explanatory and illustrative method during teaching the academic discipline “Thermodynamics” to higher education institutions students. It is known that the effectiveness of training depends on the teacher’s ability to choose a training method in certain conditions for a specific lesson. The main attention is paid to the aspect of the relevance and effectiveness of the explanatory and illustrative teaching method in modern education, as the scope and possibilities of displaying thermodynamic concepts, processes, methods of thermodynamic analysis have expanded. The explanatory and illustrative teaching method is supposed to ensure students’ understanding of the educational material. Understanding is not just a result, but a process when the learner perceives the connection between the unknown and the known, combines an unknown concept with an already known one, and can compare the unknown with the known. The features and characteristics of the explanatory and illustrative teaching method are analyzed. The advantages of the specified method during the presentation of a large amount of educational material, structuring of information and outlining the connection between the concepts of the discipline “Thermodynamics” are considered. Tables and diagrams, graphs and schemes are an integral part of studying the discipline “Thermodynamics”. It is with the help of them that you can quickly learn the laws of thermodynamic processes of ideal and real gases, cycles of steam power plants, internal combustion engines, and gas turbine plants. Examples of graphic and schematic presentations of some concepts of thermodynamics are considered, which clearly reflect the relationship between new concepts and previously considered ones, and allow mathematical dependencies to be presented schematically or graphically. Graphic display of concepts allows the student to create a set of knowledge on the use of different parameters. The list of the main diagrams used by students in solving applied problems of energy conversion, in particular in thermal energy systems and installations of mining enterprises, is given. The importance of the simultaneous combination of oral explanation with illustrations, schemes, diagrams when teaching the educational discipline «Thermodynamics» is noted. It is determined that if the student gives his examples that illustrate the content of the topic, or can transform the verbal presentation of the material into tabular or graphic form, in the form of formulas, then a conclusion can be drawn about students’ understanding of the material. Learning the discipline consists of a sequence of generation of separate concepts, concepts of a defined topic, and then during the further study of «Thermodynamics» a system of concepts is formed. The key to the success of the formation of concepts is whether the connection between the explanatory concept of the discipline and others, which were previously studied by students, is realized. It was determined that the explanatory and illustrative teaching method is convenient when it is necessary to convey a large amount of educational material in a short period of time. Its use is justified while learning fixed concepts, facts, and laws. It is concluded that in lectures on the discipline «Thermodynamics» it is the explanatory material that plays an important role, since «Thermodynamics» is the foundation of many special disciplines in the future.

Imagery evoking visual and verbal information presentations in mobile commerce: the roles of augmented reality and product review

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of visual and verbal information presentations on mental imagery, perceived informativeness and purchase intention. The study assesses two types of product-related information: (1) visual information: static product images and augmented reality (AR) and (2) verbal information: abstract and concrete product reviews.Design/methodology/approachA total of 320 mobile consumers participated in the experiment. To increase external validity, this study was conducted in an existing digital shopping environment.FindingsThe results suggest that AR has a greater effect on consumers' shopping outcomes than static images. The findings further reveal that concrete product reviews are important in increasing mental imagery, perceived informativeness and purchase intention when visual information does not provide an AR function.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the current literature by providing empirical support for AR effects and concrete reviews on consumer responses. The results further provide an important perspective for retailers seeking ways to develop effective information presentations in digital retailing.
