Advance Acceptance Status Model for E-learning Based on University Academics and Students

E-learning provides students with the possibility of accessing, repeating, and using learning materials wherever and whenever they want. The philosophy of e-learning is not to replace the conventional learning process; it instead provides a new method and approach that offers opportunities for much faster delivery of knowledge. Teachers and students are the most significant actors in the process of educational transformation, and technology acceptance is measured by positive reactions from users based on their utilisation of technology to support those assignments designed for such purposes. In higher education institutions in Iraq, the use of e-learning has become compulsory and there is thus a critical need to study student and teacher behaviours in response to this. Accordingly, this paper undertakes an investigation based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine academics’ and students’ acceptance of and adoption of e-learning in university education in their roles as universities’ main actors. This paper focuses on teachers and students with no background in ICT, investigating their acceptance of e-learning as a learning method. A seven-point Likert scale questionnaire was systematically developed, validated, and used as a data collection instrument with 450 students and 75 university lecturers from two separate colleges. A clustering sampling method was used in the sampling selection process, and several hypotheses were proposed and tested via the paired T-test. The paper’s outcomes can be classified into three categories: it helps to determine to what extent e-learning is accepted by non-expert users; it provides evidence of new factors that influence application of e-learning, extending the TAM model; and, finally, it provides meaningful recommendations for higher education institutions to utilise before adopting e-learning to maximise acceptance. In particular, the results indicate that academics’ and students’ intention to use e-learning is positively influenced by both perceived usefulness and perceived ease to use.
Identifying Factors Associated with Patterns of Student Attendance and Participation in a Group Tier 2 Preventive Intervention: Implications for Adaptation

Abstract The extent to which youth attend Tier 2 evidence-based intervention is an important dimension of implementation. This study examined attendance patterns of 369 middle schoolers involved in a randomized trial testing the impact of Coping Power, an evidence-based Tier 2 preventive intervention. We conducted latent profile analysis to examine student attendance at the 25 Coping Power sessions and found three attendance patterns: 69.9% of youth had high and stable attendance, 19.5% of youth had moderate and modestly declining attendance, and 10.6% had poor and sharply declining attendance. We then examined whether students of a particular gender and race or in single-gender/race intervention groups were more likely to demonstrate certain attendance patterns and whether there were mean differences across attendance patterns on student behavioral risk, affect, and group engagement, group characteristics (e.g., group behavioral norms), and individual contacts with the group leader. Analyses indicated students demonstrating the poor and sharply declining attendance pattern had higher early-session negative affect than students with the other two attendance patterns and were less likely to be in gender-balanced groups than students with moderate and modestly declining attendance. Students with moderate and modestly declining attendance spent more time in contacts with group leaders than students with high and stable attendance. Students with high attendance were in groups with the highest early-session group attendance rates. Implications of these findings for adaptation and tailoring of the Tier 2 Coping Power program are discussed.
Incorporating stakeholder perspectives into the assessment and provision of captive elephant welfare

Recent concerns over the welfare of elephants in UK zoos have implications for their future in captivity, and it is clear that improvements in welfare should be made. Evidence suggests that the knowledge of experienced stakeholders is vital to captive animal welfare assessment. However, there have been few attempts to consult with zoo personnel and other stakeholders on the assessment of elephant welfare, and much of their valuable knowledge of routine husbandry has not been captured in the published literature. As part of a research project commissioned by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, open response focus groups and workshop discussions were conducted with representatives from 15 UK elephant-holding facilities, and other experts in the welfare and behaviour of captive or free-ranging elephants. Participants described three broad categories of welfare indicators: behavioural, physical and physiological. Resources perceived to be of importance to elephants included aspects of the physical environment, such as feeding opportunities and appropriate substrate, and aspects of the social environment, including group size and relatedness. The data obtained during this study can be used to develop an elephant welfare assessment strategy, informed by the knowledge and expertise of experienced stakeholders, and for consideration of potential changes to guidelines for managing elephants in captivity. Our approach to capturing the views of those who work closely with captive species could be applied elsewhere, in order to draw upon the extensive knowledge of expert stakeholders and consider ways to improve the welfare of captive animals.
A Study of Epidemiological Profile of Dowry Death Victims in Aligarh

Background: Dowry death is considered as one of the categories of most heinous crime in all the societies against the women in India. It is one of the important causes for the abetment of suicide and murder Methods: This retrospective study was done by Department of Forensic Medicine, J.N Medical College & Hospital in collaboration with district mortuary Aligarh during the period of 2 years from 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2015. Results: Amongst Out of 1015 female victims, 415 females died within 7 years of marriage unrelated to dowry and 52 victims died in relation or with demand due to the dowry. Most of the deaths occurred in the age group 18-25 years (65.53%). Maximum number of death occurred within first 3 years of marriage in 37 (71.15%) cases. Majority of married female victims were Hindu 39 (75.00%) and used to live in the rural areas (69.23%) belonging to joint family 32 (61.53%). Burn was leading cause of death in 18(34.62%) cases followed by hanging 16 (30.77%). So the strict laws and proper investigation is the need of hour to save our sisters and daughter from the devil of Dowry.
Presensitization Assessment of Knowledge and Awareness about Leprosy among Medical College students in Mewat Region of Haryana

Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease which still remains a serious public health problem due to its ability to cause disability. The prevention of leprosy ultimately lies in the early diagnosis and treatment of the individuals having leprosy. Changing leprosy scenario has led to requirement of leprosy education. However the knowledge of medical college students on leprosy remains unknown. Aim: To assess the presensitization knowledge and awareness of medical students before state leprosy sensitization program. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire based, cross sectional study was conducted among 135 medical students of different years starting from 2 nd year and onwards in the month of july 2017 before state leprosy sensitization program . Results: Among the medical students 90(67%) were male students and 45(33%) were female students coming from different years of their admission in medical college . Regarding the basic knowledge of leprosy 100 % of 3 nd year and final year students were having knowledge about the cause of leprosy and 100% and 78% of final year and 3 rd year medical students know about other name of Leprosy (Hansen,s disease) respectively.100% ,92% and 79% of final year ,3 rd year and 2 nd year medical students had knowledge about multidrug therapy (MDT) in in-depth knowledge of leprosy respectively. Regarding the virulence of bacilli 77%,43% and 44% of final ,3 rd and 2nd year medical students had apt knowledge respectively. Conclusion: These observations suggest that the basic and in-depth knowledge of medical students about cause, types, prevention and treatment etc. of leprosy shows increasing trend owing to the part of their curriculum. However there is still a need to organize sensitization programs at regular intervals to impart basic and in-depth knowledge to new medical students, as well as to update the knowledge of those who already had such sensitization programs. Introduction Leprosy is one of the oldest chronic infectious diseases, and permanent and progressive disability and psychological sequelae are consequences of untreated leprosy. Thus leprosy often results in intense stigma and social discrimination of patients and their families [1] . Leprosy is still prevalent in certain parts of the world, particularly India and South America [2] . Leprosy has been known to the Indians since the Vedic period . www.jmscr. igmpublication.org Impact Factor 5.84 Index Copernicus Value: 71.58 ISSN (e)-2347-176x ISSN (p) 2455-0450 DOI: https://dx.doi. org/10.18535/jmscr/v5i10.39
The early Famennian (Late Devonian) conodonts natural assemblages from Holy Cross Mountains (Poland)

ABSTRACT Two early Famennian natural assemblages of conodont elements were found in a marly shale bed within a limestone and shale sequence representing the Palmatolepis triangularis conodont zone at the Kowala quarry in the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland. The most complete of these assemblages, identified as Ctenopolygnathus brevilamina, contained nine skeletally preserved elements and four imprints on the rock bedding plane. A peculiar aspect of the apparatus was the disposition of S4 elements with respect to other S-array elements. Moreover, the denticles of S4 elements were unusually robust and slightly twisted towards the caudal side, which may have resulted from a mode of food processing different from those of other conodonts known from natural assemblages. Moreover, the location of S0 was not consistent with the hypothetical arrangements of similar apparatuses proposed by previous authors. The second assemblage, representing an unidentified palmatolepidid, contained scattered two fragmentary elements and four imprints.
The impact of nurse practitioners in primary care

There is a strain on primary health care whose challenges are recognised as increasing demands for care due to an ageing population, and reforms that shift care from hospitals to the community. In the face of these developments, tasks have increasingly been delegated to other staff. This thesis shows that task shifts from general practitioners (GPs) to nurse practitioners results in at least equal patient outcomes. In primary care during out-of-hours was almost 80% of the patients suitable to receive care from a nurse practitioner. With the deployment of nurse practitioners are general practitioners able to focus on the most vulnerable and complex patients. Moreover, nurse practitioners can add additional tasks to primary care as a response to changing patient needs. A shared vision from professional associations on the nurse practitioner role in primary care is a requirement for successful implementation.

A Modified Framework for Identifying Stigma: News Coverage of Persons With Mental Illness Killed by Police

This article examines the types of stigmatizing language and frames present in news reports about persons with mental illness killed by police. A sample of 301 online news reports was content analyzed, of which 132 reports contributed to 231 examples of stigmatizing language or frames. Analysis indicates that the construction of stigma in these news reports does not fully adhere to existing frameworks for identifying stigmatization. Stigmatization that is implicit, and often seemingly innocuous, is almost three times as common in the analyzed news reports than overt and explicit forms of stigmatization. A modified framework for identifying stigmatization is proposed that includes the presence of stigmatizing syntax, implicit stereotypes, stigmatizing myths, and behavior labeling. To the author’s knowledge, this study is the first to examine media stigmatization of persons with mental illness killed by police as well as explore stigmatization regarding suicide by cop. Implications of the findings for efforts to destigmatize mental illness are explored.
Analog‐based post‐processing of the ALADIN‐LAEF ensemble predictions in complex terrain

The main goal of this study is to assess the performance of the analog‐based post‐processing method applied to the Austrian ALADIN‐LAEF wind speed ensemble predictions through a set of sensitivity experiments. Evaluation of several analog‐based configurations using various meteorological variables as predictors is therefore conducted. The results of those experiments are compared to the ensemble model output statistics (EMOS) baseline model. The hypothesis further investigated is that using summarized measures, such as mean and standard deviation of an ensemble for several meteorological variables, is comparable to the analog post‐processing using all of the ensemble members. Results show that both analog‐based and EMOS experiments considerably improve the raw model forecast. Even though the improvement over raw model forecast is evident, large differences among nearby stations are noticed in the highly complex terrain. The processes at lower stations seem to be better represented by the raw model, which leads to a better input forecast to the post‐processing and a better overall result than for the mountain stations. The analog‐based method is overall comparable to or even outperforms the EMOS. Assessing the post‐processing performance for high wind speeds shows that the analog experiments can improve the raw forecast, exhibiting significantly higher skill than the EMOS. The difference among all analog experiments is less pronounced, especially the experiment using all of the raw model ensemble members and the one using summarized measures. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the usage of summarized ensemble measures is an optimal way to improve the forecast skill, compared to the other analog‐based experiments and the EMOS model. Therefore, it is suggested that it is not necessary to increase the computational costs by using the full input spectrum of a raw probabilistic model, that is, all ALADIN‐LAEF members as predictors, as the summarized metric suffices.
Private messages from the field

This special issue collects the confessions of five digital ethnographers laying bare their methodological failures, disciplinary posturing, and ethical dilemmas. The articles are meant to serve as a counseling stations for fellow researchers who are approaching digital media ethnographically. On the one hand, this issue’s contributors acknowledge the rich variety of methodological articulations reflected in the lexicon of “buzzword ethnography”. On the other, they evidence how doing ethnographic research about, on, and through digital media is most often a messy, personal, highly contextual enterprise fraught with anxieties and discomforts. Through the four “private messages from the field” collected in this issue, we acknowledge the messiness, open-endedness and coarseness of ethnographic research in-the-making. In order to do this, and as a precise editorial choice made in order to sidestep the lexical turf wars and branding exercises of ‘how to’ methodological literature, we propose to recuperate two forms of ethnographic writing: Confessional ethnography (Van Maanen 2011) and self-reflection about the dilemmas of ethnographic work (Fine 1993). Laying bare our fieldwork failures, confessing our troubling epistemological choices and sharing our ways of coping with these issues becomes a precious occasion to remind ourselves of how much digital media, and the ways of researching them, are constantly in the making.
Effect of leaf inclination and rainfall intensity on the Canopy Wetness Index of Artocarpus Heterophyllus

Canopy characteristics have a significant influence on the process of canopy surface wetting and water canalization into the canopy reservoir. Canopy surfaces that have increased wetting until the canopy is saturated will describe the process of rainfall redistribution that occurs throughout the canopy. Canopy wetting until saturated or the canopy wetting index (β) is an indicator of rainfall redistribution by a canopy. Canopy reservoir filling can occur after the canopy surface per unit area has been completely saturated. This research was conducted with changes in rainfall intensity (R), leaf slope (α), canopy porosity, and canopy flow distribution (Tf) on Artocarpus heterophyllus. This study found that the rainfall redistribution process was strongly influenced by leaf characteristics, depth, and rainfall duration. Leaf characteristics, especially leaf inclination, will create a pattern of water canal from the canopy surface to the canopy reservoir. The leaf inclination characteristic will increase canopy wetting across the canopy surface simultaneously, but will not make water flow uniformly to the canopy reservoir.
Operative versus nonoperative management of pediatric type 1 open forearm fractures: a retrospective review

Background: Considerable debate exists regarding the management of type 1 open forearm fractures in the pediatric population. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of nonoperative with operative treatment, and specifically to determine if there are differences in infection rates and complications. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 155 consecutive type 1 open fractures treated at a single large pediatric hospital from 1995-2013. Inclusion criteria were patients younger than 18 yr of age with type 1 open forearm fractures with a minimum of 6 mo follow-up. Exclusion criteria were patients with type 2 or 3 injuries, inadequate documentation, and less than 6 mo follow-up. Results: From 1995-2013, 19,455 fractures of the forearm were treated. We identified 185 type 1 open fractures, 30 of which were excluded for inadequate follow-up or documentation. One hundred and nineteen patients were managed nonoperatively, and 36 patients were managed operatively with a mean age of 8.8 and 11.2 yr, respectively. There was a 0% infection rate in the nonoperative group. One patient in the operative group developed an infected nonunion. Initial sagittal deformity for the operative and nonoperative groups was 18.8 and 24.7 degrees. Residual deformity at final follow-up was significantly higher in the nonoperative group in both sagittal (P=0.031) and coronal (P=0.017) planes, although all patients fell within accepted parameters. Other than infection rate, there were no differences in complications between the two groups. The overall infection rate was 0.65%, with a 0% infection rate in the nonoperative group. Operations were performed more frequently in older children. Conclusions: Our results indicate that nonoperative management of type 1 open fractures in the pediatric population can be safe and effective.
The Accuracy of a Marine Satellite Compass under Terrestrial Urban Conditions

When used at sea, satellite compasses are capable of determining the course of a sailing vessel with high accuracy. It is difficult to verify the accuracy declared by the device manufacturer under such conditions, as it is difficult to define a reliable reference. This study analyses the accuracy of the satellite compass in an urban setting, with the satellite signal being obscured to various extents. It is an important point in the study to refer the measurement results to a reference route, which is the axis of a tramway track, determined by the precise GNSS RTK method. The measurement data were processed in the original software developed by the authors. The results demonstrate a high 2D positioning accuracy with low height determination accuracy. The course determination errors exceed the limit values declared by the manufacturer. However, specific measurement conditions must be taken into account, which differ considerably from the typical applications of a satellite compass.
Two Phenomena in Contemporary Music Education: Mental Toughness and the Law

This study examined the perceptions of in-service music educators regarding aspects of education law. An electronic questionnaire was disseminated, via email, to in-service music educators. Participants included music educators (N = 152; Mage = 41.7) from each of the 50 states whose teaching assignments occur primarily at the high school (grades 9 – 12) levels. The questionnaire included questions about the adequacy of the legal content in their undergraduate music teacher training programs and graduate studies, as well as about additional resources used to obtain information about aspects of education law. Participants were also asked for recommendations regarding possible additions of education law content in undergraduate teacher training programs. The main portion of the questionnaire specified 30 legal issues common to educators and music educators and asked participants to indicate whether these issues had impacted their professional practice. Data were analyzed to determine those aspects of education law that are most prevalent for practicing music educators, as well as to examine relationships between teachers’ ages, years of experience, ensemble and activity types, and the most prevalent legal issues. Results indicated that these participants viewed their undergraduate teacher training programs, and graduate studies, as having included very low levels of legal content. Few of the participants indicated receiving additional education and training from a legal specialist, and taking part in sessions on legal topics offered by their school districts and professional associations. The legal issues receiving the greatest numbers of selections as having been experienced by the participants included 5 aspects of copyright law, religious music and lyrics in educational and performance material, and protection of student health (i.e., medical) information. Factors such as age, professional experience, and 61 ensemble/activity types were largely unrelated to participants’ indications of prevalent legal issues or with the total number of legal issues expressed. The total number of legal issues selected was significantly correlated with the number of traveling groups (ensembles) with which the teachers were associated. Teachers of marching band indicated a greater number of total legal issues having been dealt with in their professional experience. And teachers of orchestra demonstrated fewer total numbers of legal issues experienced.
