Patientacceptance and satisfaction with telemedicine in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic sparked rapid and widespread implementation of telemedicine, the practice of delivering medical care remotely using two-way, real-time interactive communication. Our goal was to assess patients' acceptance, satisfaction, and desire for future use of telemedicine among women seeking care for pelvic floor disorders (PFDs). Methods: We performed a structured telephone survey of new patients, who underwent video-only visits, and established patients who underwent a realtime video or audio-only telemedicine visit based on their preference when non-urgent, in-person visits were suspended. We designed two surveys (audio-only and real-time video) that included questions on demographics;level of comfort;overall satisfaction with the telemedicine visit;access and comfort with technology;desire to use telemedicine in the future;and perceived utility (Table 1). Student's t-tests and chi-squared tests were used to compare characteristics and survey responses between all three groups (Established audio-only, Established real-time video, and New real-time video participants) as well as Established audio-only vs real-time video participants. Results: Results: Between April and June 2020, we conducted telemedicine visits with 233 patients, 132 (65%) of whom agreed to participate in our survey (63 (47.7%) audio-only, 69 (52.3%) video, including 35 Established, and 34 New patients). Mean age of participants was 62.6 ± 15.2 years. The majority identified as white (77.3%), married (65.9%), college educated or higher (62.1%), were insured by Medicare (56.8%), and resided a mean distance of 47 miles from in-person office locations. The most common chief complaints were POP and UI (48.8%). Overall, most participants (96.4%) described being 'very' or 'somewhat satisfied' with telemedicine in addressing their needs and 'very' or 'somewhat comfortable' sharing personal information with providers in a telemedicine visit (94.7%). Additionally, Established patient participants in both audio-only and video groups reported feeling 'equal' or 'much more comfortable' (83%) and 'connected' (77.6%) to their provider during the telemedicine visit compared to in-person office visits. Though real-time video was associated with greater perceived quality of care (Table 1), both groups expressed a desire to use telemedicine in the future (88.6%). Conclusions: Conclusion: Women presenting with PFDs were satisfied with both real-time video and audio-only telemedicine visits. Both groups expressed interest in continuing to use telemedicine in the future. Telemedicine is a wellaccepted option for providing care with the potential to reduce geographical barriers for women with PFDs and limited access to subspecialty care.
Predictive performance of different bleeding risk scores in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the predictive values of the HAS-BLED, ORBIT, ATRIA, REACH, PARIS, and PRECISE-DAPT scores in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) who received both anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy. 930 patients were consecutively recruited and followed up for 1 year. The primary endpoints were BARC class ≥3 bleeding and BARC class ≥2 bleeding. BARC class ≥3 bleeding occurred in 36 patients(3.9%), while BARC class ≥2 bleeding was seen in 134 patients (14.4%). The predictive performance of the HAS-BLED score for BARC class ≥3 bleeding was unsatisfactory (c-statistic = 0.575). The discrimination of the ATRIA, ORBIT, PARIS, and PRECISE-DAPT scores was also low-to-moderate. The REACH score was useless in bleeding risk stratification for this population. Multivariable logistic regression indicated that previous bleeding events and hemoglobin were two independent predictors of BARC class ≥3 bleeding. Compared to the HAS-BLED score, the model constructed by previous bleeding events and hemoglobin displayed a significant improvement in bleeding risk prediction [c-statistics: 0.704 vs. 0.575 (p = .008), NRI = 0.662,IDI = 0.049]. In patients with AF and ACS or undergoing PCI who received anticoagulant+antiplatelet therapy, the HAS-BLED, ORBIT, ATRIA, REACH, PARIS, and PRECISE-DAPT scores displayed only low-to-moderate performance in predicting BARC class≥3 bleeding. Future studies are required to develop more reliable scoring systems for bleeding risk evaluation in this population.
Challenges and opportunities for universities in building adaptive capacities for sustainability: lessons from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean

ABSTRACT Capacity building is defined as a process by which stakeholders increase their knowledge, skills and resources in order to improve their ability to adapt in a fast-changing world. Universities play a key role in the promotion of sustainability and implementation of the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through capacity building. However, universities in developing countries face significant challenges in the implementation of capacity building programmes for sustainability given the lack of procedures that facilitate the systematic integration of multiple stakeholderś epistemologies, methodologies and objectives. In this paper, we present a capacity building approach as a problem-focused process that follows a multi-domain/multi-stakeholder scheme, and provides alignment with the functions and responsibilities of different sectors of society. The approach involves the use of a decision-support tool for sustainability that enables stakeholders to actively participate in decision-making processes. We illustrate the implementation of the capacity building approach through two case studies and show how general and specific capacities tailored to the different stakeholders can be developed. Our approach to capacity building accentuates the role of universities in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean as research and innovation hubs that could help design and implement flexible, transparent and robust strategies towards achievement of sustainability in the region. Key policy insights Capacity building to address the sustainable development goals should aim to develop sets of interlinked capacities for sustainability across stakeholder groups. Capacity building should take into account the regional institutional contexts in which universities in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean are embedded. Effective implementation of capacity building must be tailored to the different roles and functions of the actors involved. Thematic, technical, evaluative and procedural domains provide a comprehensive framework to build capacities, which can be continuously adapted according to the functions and responsibilities of the actors. Capacity building approaches to address climate change vulnerability require decision-support tools to inform policy-making.

Making Wine Without Grapes: The Case for Quality Teaching With Limited Resources

This article illustrates the significant role that creative, conscientious, dedicated, motivated, and committed teachers play in guiding, directing, and developing students' thinking, perspectives, and future lives. It highlights the importance of teacher agency in connecting learning to students' lives. It argues that good teachers can employ pedagogical practices that are not dependent on the availability of resources. It employs Pierre Bourdieu's theories of capital, field, and habitus to show how teachers can develop students' dispositions, consciousness, perceptions, perspectives, and lives. It also uses Nancy Fraser's theory of social justice to show how teachers can develop in working-class students, the essential knowledge, skills, and understandings that enable them to compete on a par with middle-class students. It uses life course theory to understand how the participants' schooling experiences, relationships, interconnectedness, and transitions influenced their thinking, doing, and lives. It employs a qualitative paradigm to explore five students' and one teacher's notions of how teaching and learning practices assisted the students to overcome the issue of inadequate resources. To locate the participants' perspectives and to analyse how their schooling experiences in the period 1968-1990 influenced their lives, the article uses the life history technique. The findings of the research stress that it is the inventiveness, competence, and attitude of the teacher that are the defining factors in the provision of quality education-not merely the availability of material resources.

RBCC constant dynamic pressure booster trajectory design and propellant mass flowrate analysis for TSTO transportation system

Due to the coupling of rocket based combined cycle(RBCC) engine performance with flight vehicles,the design and the development of RBCC engines should be done for different flight trajectory.Based on the equations of dynamics and kinematics,the constant dynamic path design methodology of boost trajectory for vehicles powered by RBCC engines was studied and the altitude-step walking method was established.The simulation of the trajectory of the first stage flight vehicle powered by RBCC engine in a Two-Stage-To-Orbit(TSTO) hypersonic space transportation for Ma=0~8 was made by the program designed in C++ language.According to the baseline trajectory,with the coupling optimization strategy of Genetic Algorithm/ Sequential Quadratic Programming,a propellant flowrate control history that minimizes the propellant consumption for the non constant dynamic pressure flight path was calculated.The results show that considering the coupling between RBCC engines and flight path,the computation model can be used for the RBCC boost trajectory design and analysis;The whole boost process can consume as high as 55% takeoff mass propellant,in which the mass ratio of non-constant-dynamic-pressure segment to constant-dynamic-pressure segment is 2.3;Through optimization,the efficiency of propellant consumption can be enhanced by 3.5%;In ejector mode(Ma=0~2.5),the optimum mass flowrate regulative ratio of primary rockets is 4.3. The mass flowrate of primary rockets should be throttled when RBCC engines transit from inject to ramjet mode operation and the minimum mass flowrate is needed during the mode transition process.
Utilization of the Website for Online Parenting at Daycare Institution

This study aims to inform the use of websites for parenting activities in daycare institutions; the research conduct conceptually method related to website-based parenting in early childhood education. The results of the conceptual study in this study show that online parenting through the website can be a place to share the experiences of parents of children with various backgrounds of curiosity about how to carry out their role as caregivers during direct activity restrictions. Currently, parenting materials can be accessed through the internet and can be accessed anywhere from various sources whose validity is sometimes unclear. However, the menus on websites owned by daycare institutions have not facilitated parenting content needed by parents. Therefore, this study provides recommendations for daycare institutions to add a parenting menu on websites owned and managed by caregivers, psychologists, and parents to bridge parenting communication between parents and caregivers. In addition, it is recommended for daycare institutions to use the website owned by the institution for online parenting access.
Architectured hierarchical porous metals enabled by additive manufacturing

ABSTRACT Architectured hierarchical porous materials exist widely in nature. Inspired by their unique mechanical and functional responses, extensive efforts have been made to develop architectured hierarchical porous metallic materials for specific industrial applications where fast mass transport and specific surface area are both critical, such as energy storage and catalysis. More specifically, the rapid development of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies has enabled the design and fabrication of a wide variety of architectured hierarchical porous metals in recent years. This review discusses the developments to date of AM-enabled hierarchical porous metals with or without the combination of other manufacturing processes. AM opens avenues for the creation of unprecedented hierarchical porous metals with novel properties or functionalities.
INFLUENCE OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE ON TEACHERS’ LEVEL OF USE OF CRITICAL THINKING

Critical thinking is very important in the area of education, because it is an essential tool for solving problems and making good decisions. Through applying critical thinking in learning, students can become creative in discovering the best method of learning and organizing their work. Therefore, critical thinking is not an educational choice and all learners should be taught to think critically. The primary objective of this paper is to study whether teaching experience played a role in teachers’ level of use of critical thinking. The quantitative method was used. The respondents of the study were Moroccan English high school teachers. A questionnaire was used to collect data from teachers. Both the online version and the paper-based version of the questionnaire were used to gather data from the participants. A total of 423 questionnaire were collected from the respondents. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19 was used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that teaching experience significantly impacts teachers’ level of use of critical thinking. This suggests that there is a connection between teachers’ effectiveness and years of experience.

Geological and mineralogical study of ore tailings for bio-leaching

In this paper, the geological conditions of accumulation and the material composition of the ore tailings from the processing plants of Kazakhstan were studied. The results of studying the material of unused tailings are presented. Accumulated tailings were studied on natural exposures and on the materials of cartographic wells. In the three tailing dumps of the Zhezkazgan enrichment plant, after processing, more than 1.2 billion tons of tailings are accumulated in the form of effluent pulp, of which about 1 billion tons are in two inactive tailing dumps, and the third tailing dump is operational. When the content of the main copper ore component in tailing dump is about 0.1-0.3%, the total geological reserves of metals can be at least 2.0 million tons. More than 630 million tons of ground material with a copper content of 0.1 to 0.4% is accumulated in the tailing site of another large facility – Balkhash enrichment plant. Thus, in the tailing ponds of only two considered processing plants, there are more than 1.5 billion tons of technogenic raw ore material, where the geological reserves of copper are about 3 million tons. Mineralogical studies provide a determination of the distribution and content of basic (copper, lead, zinc) and associated (noble and rare metals) useful components in the tailings. The tailings of the processing plant can be considered promising for processing technogenic deposits of mineral raw materials. This type of technogenic ore is underexplored from both a geological and technological point of view. In this regard, it was necessary to conduct full-scale scientific research in order to study the material composition of tailings as technogenic deposits with the establishment of variability in the distribution of useful components in them and the technological properties of their processing. The results of studying the chemical, mineral and granulometric content of the tailings can serve as reliable initial data for technological studies on the extraction of metals from this technogenic raw ore material. The mineral and granulometric content of copper ore processing tailings has been studied. Microscopic descriptions of polished sections made of loose tailings are given. Sulfide ore minerals are microscopic in size, they are distributed mainly inside the grains of the host rocks and are rush in nature. Using the results of geological studies, a methodology for technological research was selected and laboratory experiments were conducted on the bioleaching of copper from the tailings.
Software-defined networking security

— The evolution of communication technologies led to active virtualization of computer network solutions and proliferation of the Software Defined Networks (SDN) as a centralized network infrastructure management tool. The SDN is a relatively new technology and rush to move products to the market in some cases forces companies to overlook security mechanisms. The proposed research provides assessment of the susceptibility of some of the SDN solutions to the DDoS attacks. The attacks on north-and south-bound communications have been carried out using two SDN controllers on a public cloud. Detailed analysis of the attack results indicated that even small-scale DDoS floods can have devastating impacts on the SDN ecosystem if the attacking botnet has access to communication channels that carry out network management traffic. The research makes it is evident that proper isolation is required, and it should not be limited to standard mechanisms as encryption but should assume proper authorization mechanisms to prevent such attacks.

Enhancing assessment literacies through development of quality rubrics using a Triad based peer review process

Peer review is viewed as a valid quality assurance mechanism in higher education. Peer review of teaching is common practice at universities in Australia. However, peer review of assessment is a relatively new innovation in tertiary education. Peer review of assessment in a Triad structure utilised data, via interviews with academics and students, to develop a peer review of assessment framework. This project was modelled on a Triad based peer review of teaching process at a major university in Brisbane Australia. A 10 question framework was used initially to facilitate conversations between assessors in a range of undergraduate courses (teacher education, business, visual arts, occupational therapy, outdoor education). The benefits for all stakeholders were widespread and significant, impacting students and assessors and provided a response to sector wide, national and international criticisms of tertiary assessment by students, who are driven by successful assessment experiences and shaped by the clarity of assessment rubrics.
