Evaluating ChatGPT in Generating Feedback on Content and Organization Components of EFL Compare and Contrast Essays

ChatGPT, an innovative large language model that has impressed worldwide audiences with its exceptional generative capabilities, is now positioned to significantly transform the field of education. The purpose of this exploratory study is to investigate how accurately ChatGPT generates feedback on the content and organization components of EFL compare and contrast essays and the extent to which the feedback length provided by ChatGPT differs from that of the human teacher.To address these questions, a ChatGPT prompt incorporating evaluation criteria for content and organization components was developed, generating feedback on 10 compare and contrast student essays using the ChatGPT 3.5 version. The ChatGPT feedback and teacher feedback were assessed quantitatively and qualitatively according to the predetermined evaluation criteria. Furthermore, two types of feedback were compared descriptively and by conducting the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. The findings revealed that ChatGPT produced highly accurate feedback for both content and organization components, surpassing the teacher in the length of feedback provided. While the accuracy rate of the generated feedback was high, issues such as holistic assessment of the essay, false positives, failure to provide feedback where needed, and discrepancies in the depth of feedback compared to teacher feedback were identified. The results suggest that while ChatGPT shows promise in providing educational feedback, teacher-AI collaboration in giving feedback for EFL compare and contrast essays is important for delivering feedback that optimally benefits learners.

The effectiveness of sociodrama techniques in preventing moral disengagement tendencies in high school students

The increasing behavior of students who violate morals can reflect the increasing tendency of students' moral disengagement. Sociodrama is believed to be an effective technique in preventing moral disengagement tendencies in students. This research aims to prove the effectiveness of sociodrama techniques in preventing the tendency of moral disengagement in students. This research design uses a one group pretest-posttest design. The research sample was 25 students from class XI-2 of Kepanjen Islamic High School, obtained through purposive sampling. The instrument used to collect data is the moral disengagement scale. Data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test show that sociodrama techniques are effective in preventing the tendency of moral disengagement in students. The novelty in this research lies in the classical guidance service with sociodrama techniques which functions as a preventive service that focuses on students with a moderate level of moral disengagement. Meanwhile, previous research used different techniques and functioned as a curative service that focused on students with a high level of moral disengagement. This research concludes that sociodrama techniques are effective in preventing the tendency of moral disengagement in high school students. The implications of these findings show the importance of applying sociodrama techniques in guidance and counseling programs in schools.

The Effect of an Educational Program on the Knowledge and Attitude of Medical Sciences Students About Social Determinants of Health in Iranian University Students: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Given the importance of social determinants on health outcomes, training medical sciences students in addressing social determinants of health can enhance their effectiveness and social accountability. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of an educational program on the knowledge and attitude of medical sciences students regarding social determinants of health. Using a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design, this study selected 200 students from a medical university in Iran through simple random sampling. A tailored educational intervention, grounded in the conceptual framework for action on social determinants of health, was implemented. To assess the program's effect, data were collected using a validated questionnaire that measured the students' knowledge and attitudes towards social determinants of health both at baseline (pretest) and 1 month following the intervention (posttest). The application of the Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test revealed a significant increase in the median scores for knowledge and attitude postintervention. Specifically, the posttest median scores were significantly elevated compared to the pretest knowledge score (Z = -11.89, p < 0.001) and attitude score (Z = -11.60, p < 0.001). This indicates that the educational intervention significantly improved the students' knowledge and attitudes concerning social determinants of health. The study outcomes suggest that educational interventions focused on social determinants of health effectively improve students' knowledge and attitudes. We recommend integrating such programs into the medical sciences curriculum and experiential training. By doing so, we can better prepare future healthcare professionals to address social determinants of health-related issues. This approach has the potential to reduce health disparities and also addresses broader social challenges affecting population health.

Transitional Care Program in Reducing Acute Hospital Utilization in Singapore.

(1) Background: The evidence to support transitional care in reducing acute hospital utilization is variable. Despite changes in the healthcare landscape with a rapidly aging population, there is a lack of local and regional studies to evaluate the effectiveness of transitional home care programs. This study investigates whether a transitional home care program delivered by an acute tertiary hospital can reduce acute hospital utilization. (2) Methods: A pre-post design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. A total of 2004 enrolments from 1679 unique patients that fulfilled the criteria of enrolment were included. The transitional care program is delivered through telephone follow-up and home visits. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was used to assess the differences between the three periods of baseline, enrolment, and post-enrolment. (3) Results: All 2004 enrolments were analyzed. The re-attendances at the emergency department reduced significantly by 31.2% and 71.9% during enrolment and post-enrolment (p < 0.001), respectively. Similarly, patients had a 38.7% and 76.2% reduction in hospital admissions during enrolment and post-enrolment (p < 0.001), respectively. For patients who were admitted, there was no significant difference in the length of stay between these groups (p = 0.23). (4) Conclusions: The transitional home care program can effectively reduce emergency department re-attendances and inpatient admissions. Not only was the total number of emergency department re-attendances reduced significantly, but the number of frequent re-attendances also dropped significantly. The outcomes were consistent during COVID-19 and post-pandemic phases. These findings can be used as a guide in program planning and future scalability.

Indonesian Capital Market Investors' Reaction To The Events At Bank Syariah Indonesia

This study aims to analyze whether there are differences in internal and external events in abnormal profits, trading volume activity, and foreign investment in the stock market for BRIS issuers since the merger announcement and the ratification of the Bank Syariah Indonesia merger. This study is quantitative, where the data processed is secondary data from various sources. Several events during the merger period were collected from October 2020 to February 2021, and 11 events were obtained. This study divides the events into two groups and tests 5 internal and 6 external events with an event window of 11 days. The method used in this study is a different test using the Wilcoxon sign rank test and sample paired t-test, depending on the normal test results. The results of group testing events show no difference before and after internal and external events in abnormal profits, trading volume activity, and foreign investment. However, when viewed from each event, the results show that trading volume activity in events 1, 7, and 11 differs before and after. For foreign investment in events 7 and 11, there are differences before and after; for the rest, there is no difference. This research can provide insight and be a reference for future research. Practically, this research can be a reference for investors when determining investment decisions.

Optimization of SVR and CatBoost models using metaheuristic algorithms to assess landslide susceptibility

In this study, a landslide susceptibility assessment is performed by combining two machine learning regression algorithms (MLRA), such as support vector regression (SVR) and categorical boosting (CatBoost), with two population-based optimization algorithms, such as grey wolf optimizer (GWO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), to evaluate the potential of a relatively new algorithm and the impact that optimization algorithms can have on the performance of regression models. The Kerala state in India has been chosen as the test site due to the large number of recorded incidents in the recent past. The study started with 18 potential predisposing factors, which were reduced to 14 after a multi-approach feature selection technique. Six susceptibility models were implemented and compared using the machine learning algorithms alone and combining each of them with the two optimization algorithms: SVR, CatBoost, SVR-PSO, CatBoost-PSO, SVR-GWO, and CatBoost-GWO. The resulting maps were validated with an independent dataset. The performance rankings, based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) metric, are as follows: CatBoost-GWO (AUC = 0.910) had the highest performance, followed by CatBoost-PSO (AUC = 0.909), CatBoost (AUC = 0.899), SVR-GWO (AUC = 0.868), SVR-PSO (AUC = 0.858), and SVR (AUC = 0.840). Other validation statistics corroborated these outcomes, and the Friedman and Wilcoxon-signed rank tests verified the statistical significance of the models. Our case study showed that CatBoost outperformed SVR both in case the models were optimized or not; the introduction of optimization algorithms significantly improves the results of machine learning models, with GWO being slightly more effective than PSO. However, optimization cannot drastically alter the results of the model, highlighting the importance of setting up of a rigorous susceptibility model since the early steps of any research.

The Influence of Prenatal Yoga Exercise on Mother Anxiety Pregnant

Visual Status in Children with Dyslexia at the Integrated Special Education Program in Selangor, Malaysia

Objective: Dyslexia is a learning disorder, characterized by difficulties in recognizing, decoding, and spelling words. Studies on visual status of individuals with dyslexia have yielded mixed findings. This study aimed to assess visual acuity and refractive errors in dyslexic children in Selangor, Malaysia.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the integrated special education program (PPKI) for secondary schools across three randomly selected districts in Selangor. Children with dyslexia from 15 schools were enrolled. Distance and near visual acuity were measured, and non-cycloplegic refraction was performed to identify refractive errors. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the distribution of visual acuity and refractive errors. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test was used to compare habitual and corrected visual acuity (VA).Results: 137 dyslexic children, aged 13 to 19 years, participated in the study. 60% of the participants had good habitual distance VA. Meanwhile, the percentage of good habitual near VA were higher than distance VA. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test showed that corrected VA was significantly better than habitual VA. The most common ametropias observed were myopia and astigmatism.Conclusion: Dyslexic children in the PPKI program generally have good visual acuity and are emmetropic. However, uncorrected refractive error and suboptimal optical refraction were the primary causes of unsatisfactory habitual vision in some children. Findings highlight the need to screen for refractive errors and provide appropriate optical correction to this population to prevent further hindrance to their reading ability.

Outcomes of sclerokeratoplasty in severe ocular surface disease

Sclerocorneal grafts are procedures considered in cases with extensive corneal and scleral tissue destruction. The study aims to describe sclerokeratoplasty outcomes in severely diseased eyes. We performed a retrospective review of clinical records. Demographic characteristics, medical history, surgical indications, aetiology of perforation, visual outcomes, complications associated with the surgical procedure, and ocular integrity at the end of the follow-up were obtained. Wilcoxon-signed rank tests and Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare complications between groups and outcomes at final follow-up. Survival analysis was performed to analyse vision preservation and global integrity and presented in Kaplan-Meier curves. 40 eyes from 40 patients with a mean age of 48.83 ± 18.85 years and a mean follow-up of 21.13 ± 33.92 months were included in the study. Median corrected visual acuity before and after the procedure remained at 2.8 logMAR. Twenty-seven eyes presented complications. The most common complications were a persistent epithelial defect in 11, hypertension in 10, and perforation in 8 eyes. More than half of the eyes (67.5%) presented with either one or more of all complications after corneoscleral graft. No significant differences were found regarding age, gender, or DM history. Concerning perforation, a significant difference was found between infectious and non-infectious only in the presentation of ocular hypertension (p = 0.048). Vision was preserved in 72.5% of the eyes, with a median survival probability of 4.12 years. Preservation of the ocular integrity was achieved in 85% of the eyes, with a median survival probability of 12 years. Sclerokeratoplasty despite being challenging and technically demanding followed by defiant complications, in some situations such as infectious keratitis and autoimmune diseases, is likely a procedure that salvages the eye and preserves vision.

6662 Effect of Selenium Supplementation on Mild Graves’ Ophthalmopathy at a Tertiary Hospital - A Six-Month Open-Labelled, Assessor-Masked, Randomized-Controlled Trial

Abstract Disclosure: J.M. Flores: None. N.G. Sioson: None. J.D. Uy-Ho: None. A.L. Suller-Pansacola: None. Graves’ orbitopathy is associated with increased oxidative stress. Selenium, with its antioxidant and immunoregulatory actions, has been proposed as an adjuvant therapy. Objective: This study was undertaken to determine whether selenium supplementation for six months can decrease signs and prevent worsening of mild Graves ophthalmopathy among Filipinos. Methods: We conducted an open-labelled, assessor-masked, Randomized-Controlled Trial on patients with mild Graves’ ophthalmopathy wherein one arm was assigned to standard of care (eye drops) only for a period of six months while another arm was assigned to 200 ug/day oral Selenium supplementation alongside standard of care. Population: Adult patients with Graves’ hyperthyroidism, with at least one sign of mild ophthalmopathy with GO disease duration of less than 18 months Results: Independent Sample T-test, Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher’s Exact/Chi-square test were used to determine the difference of mean, rank and frequency, between patients given Selenium versus patients given standard of care. Paired Sample T-test, Wilcoxon Sign rank test and McNemar test were used to determine the difference of mean, rank and frequency on patients from initial to 3rd month or 6th month observation. Null hypotheses were rejected at 0.05α-level of significance. There was a significant difference in Clinical Activity Score (CAS) between patients given selenium supplementation and those assigned to standard of care. On initial examination for the Selenium group, 14 eyes (33.33%) had a CAS score of 0, which increased to 27 eyes (64.29%) on the third month and ended to a 26 eyes (61.9%) at the sixth month of treatment. For the non-selenium group, 11 eyes had a CAS score of zero initially, increased to 16 eyes (and 38.1%) then finally arrived to a total count of 14 eyes (33.33%). Improvement in CAS may be attributed specifically to improvement in caruncle/plical swelling showing a significant difference (p-value 0.040). Comparing the two groups, a statistical significance in CAS is noted between the treatment versus the control group with a p-value of 0.017 on the 6th month. Conclusion: Selenium supplementation provided significant benefit in terms of decreasing signs and preventing worsening of mild GO through improved CAS score. Further studies exploring the baseline and end of treatment selenium concentrations in the Philippines may be warranted. Presentation: 6/3/2024

A-196 Using Aggregated Proficiency Testing Results to Identify Systematic Error

Abstract Background Proficiency testing (PT) should identify systematic errors, which are likely to recur. The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) acceptance limits (ALs) include 3SD and concentration limits. We investigated the ability of PT to detect systematic error, especially as affected by the AL type. Methods Ungradable, duplicate, and irregular scores were removed from 2008 to 2018 CLIA laboratory PT results. For analytes that had at least 200 events and at least 200 participating laboratories, we calculated the overall sample miss rate, the unsatisfactory event rate, i.e., less than 80, and event rates for Score 100 to 0. We used paired t-tests and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test to compare miss rates and unsatisfactory event rates between short- and long-term participants. We used the binomial distribution to model the expected event scores under the assumption that all errors may be independent (random); see Figure. For each analyte and each of the possible PT scores, we compared observed event scores with their expected values as a ratio. Results 40,596 laboratories produced 15,140,128 event scores for 75 analytes. The distribution of event scores was over-weighted with higher-order event errors (Score 0 - Score 60) compared to the predicted distribution. Miss rates and unsatisfactory rates were significantly higher for short-term laboratories. Plotting the log ratio of observed versus expected rates for event scores showed that the degree of systematic effect increased progressively for each analyte. The magnitude of the effect was less for 3SD ALs. Conclusions In an event, PT errors are often dependent. Concentration and 3SD ALs were similarly sensitive to detect systematic error; both were more sensitive than ALs for qualitative or dilution assays. Expressing systematic error using PT data could help to identify remediable analytical issues.

Anterior Distal Femoral Hemiepiphysiodesis Using Coronally Oriented 8-plates for the Correction of Fixed Knee Flexion Deformities in Children-Preliminary Results.

The original technique for guided growth of the distal femur for correction of pediatric fixed knee flexion deformities (FKFDs) involves the utilization of two 8-plates inserted on either side of the trochlear groove, a technique that has been frequently linked to the development of persistent postoperative knee pain and crepitus. The present study aimed to assess the preliminary results of a novel technique where the two 8-plates are fixed in the coronal plane, one on each of the medial and lateral surfaces, so that they occupy the anterior part of the distal femur. Our study was a prospective case series that included cases with FKFD of >10 degrees in children with at least 12 months of predicted growth remaining. The preoperative knee flexion contracture angle was documented. The surgical procedure entailed the insertion of 2 coronally oriented 8-plates on the medial and lateral surfaces of the distal femur as anterior as possible to the axis of the femur without encroachment on the trochlear groove. The duration of time required to attain full knee extension and any complications encountered were recorded. Wilcoxon signed-rank was used to compare the preoperative and final contracture angles. The level of statistical significance was set at P <0.05. Thirteen knees in 8 patients (6 boys and 2 girls) were included. The median age was 11 years (6 to 14). There was a significant improvement in the FKFD for the whole cohort from 25 degrees (14 to 42) to 0 degrees (-9 to 8), P <0.05. The median rate of correction was 2.0 degrees/month (0.9 to 5.8). The time till full correction was 14 months (4 to 25). Postoperative knee pain and metalware-related complications were not reported by any patient during follow-up. Guided growth of the distal femur using coronally oriented 8-plates is an effective procedure for the treatment of FKFDs in children. This modified technique may achieve faster correction while minimizing the risk of postoperative knee pain compared with the conventional technique. Level IV-case series.

Reproducibility of spatial penalty-based methodologies for intravoxel incoherent motion analysis with diffusion MRI

Objective was to assess the precision and reproducibility of spatial penalty-based intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) methods in comparison to the conventional bi-exponential (BE) model-based IVIM methods. IVIM-MRI (11 b-values; 0–800 s/mm2) of forty patients (N = 40; Age = 17.7 ± 5.9 years; Male:Female = 30:10) with biopsy-proven osteosarcoma were acquired on a 1.5 Tesla scanner at 3 time-points: (i) baseline, (ii) after 1-cycle and (iii) after 3-cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Diffusion coefficient (D), Perfusion coefficient (D*) and Perfusion fraction (f) were estimated at three time-points in whole tumor and healthy muscle tissue using five methodologies (1) BE with three-parameter-fitting (BE), (2) Segmented-BE with two-parameter-fitting (BESeg-2), (3) Segmented-BE with one-parameter-fitting (BESeg-1), (4) BE with adaptive Total-Variation-penalty (BE + TV) and (5) BE with adaptive Huber-penalty (BE + HPF). Within-subject coefficient-of-variation (wCV) and between-subject coefficient-of-variation (bCV) of IVIM parameters were measured in healthy and tumor tissue. For precision and reproducibility, intra-scan comparison of wCV and bCV among five IVIM methods were performed using Friedman test followed by Wilcoxon-signed-ranks (WSR) post-hoc test. Experimental results demonstrated that BE + TV and BE + HPF showed significantly (p < 10–3) lower wCV and bCV for D (wCV: 24–32%; bCV: 22–31%) than BE method (wCV: 38–49%; bCV: 36–46%) across three time-points in healthy muscle and tumor. BE + TV and BE + HPF also demonstrated significantly (p < 10–3) lower wCV and bCV for estimating D* (wCV: 89–108%; bCV: 83–102%) and f (wCV: 55–60%; bCV: 56–60%) than BE, BESeg-2 and BESeg-1 methods (D*-wCV: 102–122%; D*-bCV: 98–114% and f-wCV: 96–130%; f-bCV: 94–125%) in both tumor and healthy tissue across three time-points. Spatial penalty based IVIM analysis methods BE + TV and BE + HPF demonstrated lower variability and improved precision and reproducibility in the current clinical settings.

ScholarGPT's performance in oral and maxillofacial surgery

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of Scholar GPT in answering technical questions in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery and to conduct a comparative analysis with the results of a previous study that assessed the performance of ChatGPT. Materials and MethodsScholar GPT was accessed via ChatGPT (www.chatgpt.com) on March 20, 2024. A total of 60 technical questions (15 each on impacted teeth, dental implants, temporomandibular joint disorders, and orthognathic surgery) from our previous study were used. Scholar GPT's responses were evaluated using a modified Global Quality Scale (GQS). The questions were randomized before scoring using an online randomizer (www.randomizer.org). A single researcher performed the evaluations at three different times, three weeks apart, with each evaluation preceded by a new randomization. In cases of score discrepancies, a fourth evaluation was conducted to determine the final score. ResultsScholar GPT performed well across all technical questions, with an average GQS score of 4.48 (SD=0.93). Comparatively, ChatGPT's average GQS score in previous study was 3.1 (SD=1.492). The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test indicated a statistically significant higher average score for Scholar GPT compared to ChatGPT (Mean Difference = 2.00, SE = 0.163, p < 0.001). The Kruskal-Wallis Test showed no statistically significant differences among the topic groups (χ² = 0.799, df = 3, p = 0.850, ε² = 0.0135). ConclusionScholar GPT demonstrated a generally high performance in technical questions within oral and maxillofacial surgery and produced more consistent and higher-quality responses compared to ChatGPT. The findings suggest that GPT models based on academic databases can provide more accurate and reliable information. Additionally, developing a specialized GPT model for oral and maxillofacial surgery could ensure higher quality and consistency in artificial intelligence-generated information.
