Public Health in der Schule
Authors: Gundolf Andrea
Published: October 2022

Was hält Menschen gesund und welche präventiven Maßnahmen wären sinnvoll für Schulkinder? Inwieweit tragen die aktuellen Bedingungen zur Gesundheit und Lernfähigkeit bei und welche Bildungs- und Gesundheitsstrategien erfüllen die zukünftigen Bedarfe? Die Autorin versucht im weiteren Verlauf, diese und ähnliche Fragen zu beantworten und bezieht die Möglichkeit einer Integrierung von Schulgesundheitspfleger*innen in ihre Überlegungen mit ein.

Es fehlt an einer professionellen pflegerisch-medizinischen Versorgung, insbesondere bei Schulkindern mit chronischen Erkrankungen. Frühzeitige und gezielte Maßnahmen der Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention könnten die Bevölkerungsgesundheit stärken, denn insbesondere die Schule bietet dafür geeignete Rahmenbedingungen.

Gesundheitliche und soziale Herausforderungen verlangen nach angepassten Rahmenbedingungen und zusätzlichen Gesundheitsfachkräften an Bildungseinrichtungen. Die seit Ende März des Jahres 2020 ausgerufene Corona-Pandemie bedingt auch in Österreichs Schulen eine Überarbeitung von Gesundheitsstrategien. Die Autorin recherchierte im Zuge einer Masterarbeit nach gängigen gesundheitlichen Störungen im Kindesalter und im Speziellen während der Krisensituation. Sie beschreibt die Aufgabenfelder sowie Kompetenzen von School Nurses, die auch in Österreich eine professionelle gesundheitliche Versorgung von Lernenden darstellen (Gundolf 2021, S. I).
Fake News und realitätsbezogener Mathematikunterricht
Authors: Maaß Jürgen
Published: October 2022

Fake News zum Klimawandel, zum Coronavirus und vielen anderen Themen beeinträchtigen uns in wachsendem Ausmaß. „Rationale“ Politik wird immer schwieriger, wenn ein wachsender Teil der Bevölkerung in verschiedenen „Realitätsblasen“ lebt und rationalen Argumenten immer weniger zugänglich ist. Was können wir dagegen tun? Selbstverständlich können wir versuchen, zu allen verbreiteten Fake News Gegendarstellungen zu verfassen. Besser scheint es mir, dem berühmten Motto zu folgen: „Gib einem Hungernden einen Fisch und er wird einen Tag satt. Lehre ihn fischen, und er wird nie wieder hungern!“ Dem Motto folgend sollten wir versuchen, die Menschen zu befähigen, selbst Fake News als solche zu erkennen. Lasst uns versuchen, die in den allgemeinen Lehrzielen für alle Schulen stets prominent vertretene Zielsetzung „Erziehung zur Mündigkeit!“ tatsächlich und ganz konkret im Mathematikunterricht an Schulen zu erreichen!

Was bedeutet das für Mathematikunterricht? Realitätsbezogener Mathematikunterricht insbesondere mit seinen Komponenten „Modellkritik“ und den schon oft thematisierten Beispielen zum Thema „Statistik kritisch hinterfragen!“ kann und soll durchaus dazu beitragen!

Published: October 2022

The species-level taxonomy of fat snooks (Centropomus parallelus and Centropomus mexicanus), which are distributed in coastal waters from Florida to Brazil and parts of the Gulf of Mexico, was explored with mitochondrial DNA 16S rRNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1
sequencing and multilocus microsatellite DNA genotyping. The existence of a novel lineage first observed from Puerto Rico (Lineage 3) was confirmed in the presence of specimens of C. parallelus from Florida (Lineage 1), and C. mexicanus from Texas (Lineage 2). The novel lineage
was found to be in the same phylogenetic clade as specimens from Brazil, consistent with distribution along the Caribbean coast as far as South America. Lineages 1 and 2 are spatially isolated, with no fat snook reported from Pensacola, Florida to Freeport, Texas. The transition zone between
lineages 2 and 3 may occur in the area between the Yucatán Peninsula and western Panama. Sampling from this region is necessary to identify the breakpoint and potential for hybridization. Analysis of sequence data within a maximum likelihood framework revealed that all three lineages
form a monophyletic clade within Centropomus, with Lineage 3 as ancestral to the other two lineages. Lineage 3 may have originated in South America and expanded to seed the other two lineages. This expansion is estimated to have occurred 0.9–2.5 million years ago. Lineage 3 individuals
occasionally migrate to the Atlantic coast of Florida from the distal area of their distribution range and hybridize with local specimens of Lineage 1, suggesting some overlap in the distribution of these two lineages. Overall, these data suggest a complex underlying phylogenetic history of
fat snooks in the western Atlantic, with the potential for future taxonomic revision.

Published: October 2022

Antecedentes: En 2015, el Hospital Escuela Universitario (HEU) registró una tasa de mortalidad materna de 136/100000 nacidos vivos. Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados a mortalidad materna en casos de morbilidad materna extrema (MME), HEU, Tegucigalpa, 2015. Metodología: Estudio caso-control. Se utilizaron criterios OMS (2009) para definición de casos (muertes) y controles (MME). Se estimaron proporciones, razón de disparidad (OR) e intervalo de confianza de 95% (IC95%); p<0.05 se consideró estadísticamente significativo. Resultados: Las proporciones identificadas fueron MME 6.1% (990/16,209) y muertes por MME 1.7% (17/990). Se evaluaron 17 casos de muerte materna y 51 controles de MME. En casos y controles respectivamente, se identificó edad promedio 30 (16-34) y 25 (14-44) años, primíparas 52.9% (9) y 49.0% (25), información incompleta sobre control prenatal 70.6% (12) y 45.1% (23); patologías registradas: trastornos hipertensivos 58.9% (10) y 54.9% (28), sepsis 29.3% (5) y 11.8% (6), hemorragia masiva 11.8% (2) y 25.5% (13). Los factores asociados significativamente a mortalidad: Edad ≥19 años (OR5.2, IC95%1.1-25.4, p=0.02), Glasgow <8 (OR6.4, IC95%1.5-26.7, p=0.005), hospitalización en Sala Emergencia Medicina Interna (OR11.5, IC95%3.2- 41.2, p=0.00004). Sepsis e internamiento en UCI, demostraron tendencia a p<0.05. Discusión: La proporción de MME identificada es superior a la informada en otras regiones del mundo. El análisis de los factores asociados fue limitado por datos incompletos. Las pacientes deben hospitalizarse y recibir atención adecuada y oportuna antes de que el deterioro sea irreversible. Mejorando el sistema de vigilancia, el análisis de las condiciones de MME podría usarse como indicador de calidad del cuidado materno.

Women’s rights and privileges are now global issues. Government of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh has reviewed all its policies and programmes to remove gender discrimination and to bring women in the mainstream of development arenas to warrant their  roles are significant. In the very recent past women participation was emphasized in forestry activities in Bangladesh. Social forestry programme is such an important sector where rural poor and destitute women have actively been participating during the last decade. Data were collected from 100 randomly selected women who have been working in the social forestry programme of the Forest Extension Division and two national NGOs namely Jagoroni Chakra and Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) supported by the Social Forestry Extension Circle, Jessore, Bangladesh. This study demonstrated that the social forestry programme contributed for the livelihood improvement of the rural women through their active participation in the programme. Social awareness, health consciousness, family decision making power, and income generation capability built by the social forestry programme for the rural women in Bangladesh.  Sustainability of the livelihood for women from social forestry programme would be an issue, need to be addressed in future studies.

Authors: Masum S.M. Abdullah Al- , Rahman Md. Mujibor
Published: October 2022

Rajshahi, an expanding urban centre in Bangladesh, has no public bus services. The mass transportation system in the city is mainly based on rickshaws and bicycles (50% of total trips). This study reports existing transport system of the city and identifies possible public bus routes and stops using GIS through field survey. The trip generation and distribution behaviour and modal choice behavior of the city dwellers are also analyzed. A total of 35 bus stops were proposed for developing bus service in the city.  Three routes have been proposed through analysis of alternatives considering mainly traffic flow characteristics. The service area of each bus stop was identified by generating buffers in a GIS. Then the possible number of trips from each stop to all other stops was estimated. This study reveals that public bus service is feasible for the city from technical, financial and socio-economic perspectives. This study recommends the construction of passenger sheds, terminal facilities and other facilities for the proposed bus services.

Published: October 2022

Major cities of Bangladesh have been experiencing rapid urbanization and industrialization. These are incurring positive externalities to national economy at the expense of environmental degradation and deterioration of living environment. The ambivalent sequel of industrialization has made it necessary to study urban areas and monitor spatiotemporal changes to facilitate decision-making process regarding land use planning, resource distribution, priority setting for planning interventions. Thus, this study aims to classify land use land cover (LULC) of Narayanganj Sadar Upazila and detect spatiotemporal changes within the period of 2015 to 2020 using MLC algorithm based supervised classification method. To serve this purpose, sentinel-2 satellite imagery are used. The results derived from the study elicit an increase (24.14 acre) in industrial land in 2020 compared to 2015. Approximately 1,538-acres land transformed into built-up area in 2020. Decrease in vegetation (15.85%) and water body (7.65%) are also evident from the findings. The results of the study will be conducive to have an initial glimpse of the LULC changing trend in the study area due to rapid urbanization and thus, will be instrumental for performing further research.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION BY THE RICE FARMERS IN THE SOUTH-WEST REGION OF BANGLADESH
Authors: Day Mita , Haider Mohammed Ziaul , Datta Apurba Kumar
Published: October 2022

Modern technology adoption usually leads to an increase in agricultural productivity. The rate of this technology adoption might vary depending on diverse agro-economic and socio-political factors. This study attempts to scrutinize the pattern and level of technology adoption by the rice farmers in the south-west region of Bangladesh. Descriptive and inferential analytical techniques are applied using cross-sectional data collected from randomly selected 120 rice-producing farmers in the south-west region of Bangladesh using a pre-tested interview questionnaire. The surveyed farmers have more than 23 years of farming experience on average. Study findings indicate that around 87 percent of the farming households have adopted modern technologies in terms of improved seed, irrigation management, and chemical fertilizer use in the study area. The ratio decreases to around 60 percent if the adoption of harvesting technology is considered. The farmers are lagging far behind to adopt mechanization in the land preparation phase in terms of tractor use. The technology adopter farmers observe that their intensity of technology adoption has increased over the time period. The study findings exhibit that the intensity of technology adoption is higher for the farmers who have better credit access and have engagement in the farmers’ group compared to others. Moreover, farmers who have received farm management training adopt modern technology more intensively than other farmers. This study identifies the backwardness of harvesting and land preparation phases in terms of technology adoption. It also finds that socio-economic circumstances and institutional issues trigger technology adoption decisions.
DESIGN OF A BIDIRECTIONAL DC MICROGRID CONTROLLED WITH ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Authors: Saquib Fahad Raihan , Alam Md. Anjir , Riad Mahfuzar Rahman , Chakma Ankon
Published: October 2022

Energy management integrating renewables and conventional grids might be viable for meeting current and future energy demands. The amount of energy generated from renewable sources varies from time to time. When a hybrid renewable-based unidirectional dc microgrid is linked to the utility grid, energy might be underutilized during periods of surplus generation. Bidirectional dc microgrid systems can help with energy management and address various environmental challenges. The architecture of a bidirectional dc microgrid, including solar photovoltaics (PV), wind turbines, battery storage and conventional utility grid has been designed in this work. An energy management system (EMS) is designed to supply the required energy to particular loads under various conditions. Maximum available power is extracted from PV using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), using the P&O algorithm. When the combined power of the PV panels and wind turbine exceeds the demand of the loads, the extra energy is used to charge the batteries. The remaining energy is supplied to the power grid through an inverter when the battery's state of charge (SOC) reaches 90%. When there is a dearth of generated electricity from renewable sources, and the battery's SOC is less than 30%, power is drawn from the utility grid and provided to loads. The system design is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and the effects of altering the circumstances on the electrical parameters are observed. Variable load and generation circumstances are used to generate the simulation results.
A STUDY OF THE Ti-Mn REDOX COUPLE FOR REDOX FLOW BATTERY BASED ON COMSOL
Authors: Eskender Shinthia Binte , Saha Anupam
Published: October 2022

In this study, the distribution of overpotential, dissociation rate, electrode potential, current density, and comparison of dissociation rate with Vanadium ion is proposed to examine for a Titanium Manganese Redox Flow Battery (TMRFB). TMRFB can be a solution in the current condition of energy scarcity and environmental pollution due to its high capacity and ecofriendly characteristics. Rather with the more expensive vanadium redox flow batteries, Mn-based flow batteries have gained appeal due to their inexpensive cost and high energy density. This study shows that the Ti4+/ Ti3+ and Mn3+/Mn2+ ions have higher dissociation rate at the membrane and lower at the inlet where the velocity of the electrolyte flow is higher; The membrane undergoes more oxidation-reduction reactions, therefore the electrolyte flow rate is crucial in the redox flow cell; Furthermore, our study finds that as electrode thickness is compressed, current density and electrode potential are enhanced while overpotential is lowered; comparison with vanadium redox battery it is found that Ti-Mn shows greater dissociation rate than Vanadium ions. The model's equations are solved by using the finite-element approach in COMSOL Multiphysics software. The reaction is modeled using an electrolyte-electrode interface connection. Dissociation rate shows that the oxidation-reduction reaction occurs with less potential at the membrane. Battery performance can be increased by optimizing the electrolyte flow rate. Electrode compression increases conductivity and battery performance.

Published: October 2022

Due to greater demand to use 1D semiconducting chips to replace semiconductors made from bulk structures We studied the structural and electronic properties of free (7, 0) metallic oxides and non-metallic carbide nanotubes. SWMgONT, SWZnONT and SWSiCNT were chosen as the representative model. All the quantum simulation studies were done within DFT ab’initio implemented in quantum ESPRESSO. Results obtained for structural properties revealed that the most stable bond lengths of MgONT, ZnONT and SiCNT are 1.80 Å, 1.82 Å and 1.42 Å respectively. The results obtained revealed 2.8 eV band gap for SWMgONT, 0.5 eV for SWZnONT and 0.8 eV for SWSiCNT respectively. Furthermore SWMgONT and SWZnONT are regarded as direct band gap semiconductors while SWSiCNT is regarded as an indirect semiconductor with narrow band gap. The narrow band gap of all the three systems obtained demonstrates their potential in the optoelectronic application in the next generations’ sustainability science and technology. Recent studies showed that explorations were conducted on oxide nanotubes such SiO2NT, however to the best of our knowledge, studies of the oxide nanotubes of Mg, Zn and Si have not been reported, hence few literature are available.
Case of hypereosinophilic syndrome with gastrointestinal involvement showing tissue eosinophil cytolysis

Published: October 2022

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), which is characterized by eosinophilia in the peripheral blood, often causes various organ disorders, including those of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The eosinophils play a key role in inflammation in eosinophilic GI disorders (EGIDs), including HES with GI involvement. Here, we report a case of HES with GI involvement that showed major basic proteins (MBPs) deposition in the absence of marked eosinophilic infiltration in the mucosa of the GI tract. An 11-year-old boy presented with nausea and epigastric pain for one week. He had a history of idiopathic HES with eosinophilic cystitis, diagnosed at the age of 2 years. He had been taking a low dose of corticosteroids for 9 years. The peripheral blood eosinophil count was 2,254/μL. Endoscopy revealed a swelling of the duodenal bulb mucosa. Histological findings of the duodenal mucosa revealed chronic inflammation, but no evidence of significant eosinophil infiltration and we could not diagnose him with HES with GI involvement or EGID. Immunofluorescent staining for MBP and galectin-10 was performed to detect intact and cytolytic eosinophils (eosinophil extracellular trap cell death: EETosis). Marked MBP deposition was evident in a small number of intact eosinophils in tissues from the duodenum, gastric antrum, and terminal ileum. The current case illustrates the utility of immunostaining for the detection of persistent eosinophilic inflammation, especially when cytolytic eosinophils are dominant.
¿Qué relación existe entre la calidad aromática del vino y la bioquímica de la vid?
Authors: Maya Meraz Irma Ofelia , Pérez Leal Ramona
Published: October 2022

Cada una de las biomoléculas sintetizadas a través de distintas rutas del metabolismo primario de la vid, es capaz de formar metabolitos secundarios, como los compuestos aromáticos o volátiles. Actualmente se conocen las rutas de β-oxidación, lipooxigenasa y vía isoprenoide para los compuestos aromáticos provenientes de los lípidos, sin embargo, la vía isoprenoide también proviene a partir de la intervención de los carbohidratos. Los aminoácidos leucina, isoleucina, triptófano, metionina, cisteína y fenilalanina inducen a la síntesis de diversos compuestos aromáticos en frutas, como precursores directos o indirectos. A pesar de que existen estudios de los compuestos aromáticos en frutas, en uva para vino pudiera ser de mayor complejidad, ya que las uvas pueden desarrollar distintos tipos de compuestos aromáticos, dependiendo de la variedad, manejo agronómico y factores edafo-climáticos. Por lo que el objetivo de la presente revisión es resaltar la relación existente entre la calidad aromática del vino y la bioquímica de la vid, lo que podría beneficiar al viticultor en el manejo apropiado del viñedo para la obtención específica de ciertos compuestos.

Analiza meril vrednotenja arhivskega gradiva
Authors: Prša Anja
Published: October 2022

Z vrednotenjem dokumentarnega gradiva se določa arhivsko gradivo. ZVDAGA navaja merila vrednotenja. Namen prispevka je ugotoviti, ali so vsa merila enakovredna in potrebna pri vrednotenju različnih vrst dokumentarnega gradiva ter katera merila se najpogosteje uporabljajo pri določanju arhivskega gradiva. Pri vrednotenju je treba vedeti, za koga in s kakšnim namenom določamo in ohranjamo nek dokument kot arhivsko gradivo. Od tega je odvisna tudi uporaba meril vrednotenja. V prispevku je z deskriptivno metodo podan pregled meril vrednotenja in izvedena anketa glede uporabe teh meril med arhivisti, ki delajo z ustvarjalci in vrednotijo dokumentarno gradivo. Na podlagi njihovih odgovorov je izvedena analiza meril vrednotenja. Splošna ugotovitev je, da je uporaba meril za vrednotenje dokumentarnega gradiva odvisna od področja, na katerem deluje ustvarjalec arhivskega gradiva, kar pomeni, da meril ne moremo uporabljati enakovredno za vse vrste gradiva.
Pretvorniki in validatorji – programska orodja za pretvarjanje gradiva v formate za dolgoročno hrambo in validacijo teh pretvorb

Published: October 2022

Skladno s slovenskimi predpisi na področju zagotavljanja dolgoročnega ohranjanja gradiva v digitalni obliki (v nadaljevanju digitalnega gradiva) je treba le-to pretvarjati v formate, ki so primerni za dolgoročno hrambo. Za to potrebujemo posebna programska orodja, ki jih je sicer veliko na voljo, tako plačljivih kot brezplačnih. Ker vsaka pretvorba povzroči izgubo določenega dela informacij v okviru posamezne enote digitalnega gradiva, smo v raziskavi želeli poiskati odgovore na ključno vprašanje, katera programska orodja uporabiti, da bo teh izgub čim manj. V raziskavo smo vključili tudi programska orodja, s katerimi je mogoče preveriti ustreznost pretvorb digitalnega gradiva iz enega v drugi format. Ključni cilj raziskave je bil poiskati ustrezna programska orodja za pretvarjanje posameznih vrst digitalnega gradiva in preverjanje teh pretvorb, s tem pa tudi olajšati postopke pretvorbe, predvsem ustvarjalcem arhivskega digitalnega gradiva.
Educational Activities of the Croatian Memorial Documentation Centre of the Homeland War
Authors: Barunčić Pletikosić Julija , Križe Željka
Published: October 2022

Croatian Memorial Documentation Centre of the Homeland War is a specialized archives and a scientific institution with the mission to collect, arrange, safekeep, professionally and scientifically research and publish archival records from the Homeland War. Apart from these main tasks, the Centre also engages in educational activities by organizing and providing lectures for elementary school, high school, university students and history teachers or by the engagement of its employees at the universities. Speakers will present these activities by giving examples of various types of lectures and describing methodology and contents. The authors present the theory of archival pedagogy and its development in Croatia, as well as examples of good practice in the Croatian archives. In Croatia, in the last couple of years, special attention has been given to archival pedagogy as a potential for the development of archival activities and the modernization of the archives. The Croatian Archival Society has an important role in promoting archival pedagogy and it encourages archivists to participate in educational activities. The authors will present educational activities organized by the Croatian Memorial Documentation Centre of the Homeland War. The Centre aims to follow modern trends in archive pedagogy and education by combining its two main activities - archival practice and scientific research. Special emphasis is given to the use of various categories of the Centre’s archival materials, such as official records, printed material, audio recordings, photographic material, maps, etc. in the lectures. Besides paper records, the Centre has a large collection of digitalized documents which are particularly useful and convenient to use in the lectures. The materials from the Collection of photographs and the Collection of video materials are most frequently used. Dealing with the original archival material, especially when it comes to photographs or video materials, students get the most precise frame of the past on the basis of which they then best develop their own critical thinking. In this way, archival practice illustrates the educational role of archives. Authors also deal with the question how and to what extent does the use of archival materials affect the students' understanding of the topic and inspires them to visit archives and to do their own research which also contributes to the popularization of archives and archival science.
The Anti-Experience as Cultural Memory: Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now and the Vietnam War
Authors: Fehlhaber Svenja
Published: October 2022

Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of trauma studies and of memory studies as well as on prominent postwar discourses, this paper investigates the position and function of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 Vietnam War film Apocalypse Now with regard to a materializing collective memory of this war. The paper starts out by establishing the theoretical framework of memory studies as well as those intratextual and intertextual criteria through which a respective cultural product may enter the realm of cultural memory. It contextualizes the film within the interrelated history of Hollywood war cinema, the reintegration of Vietnam veterans into US society, and the political and medical discourses surrounding the conceptualization of PTSD. The close reading of the film reveals that the functional unity of an intratextually generated “experiential mode” (Erll 390), which enables a mass audience’s experience of Benjamin Willard’s ‘anti-experience,’ actualizes Apocalypse Now’s potential through the use of intertextual generic and contextual references to become part of an active cultural memory of the Vietnam War.
Jacqueline Kennedy’s White House Tour: The Political Dimensions of a First Lady
Authors: Ringleb Lena
Published: October 2022

The office of the First Lady of the United States is not inscribed in the Constitution. Nevertheless, as an institution it plays a significant role for the President of the United States (Stooksbury and Edgemon 97). This article examines A Tour of the White House with Mrs. John F. Kennedy (1962), the documentary about First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s restoration project, analyzing it as a cultural text. It seems controversial that—despite her major appearances in national media—Jacqueline Kennedy lacked political action during her first ladyship (Caroli 226; cf. Frey 179). The analysis exposes direct as well as indirect allusions that can be related to her husband’s administration’s domestic political agenda. Therefore, the CBS program about First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s supposedly apolitical cultural project of restoring the White House appears to be a platform for subtle social, cultural, and historical argumentation, supporting the president’s domestic policies and reinforcing the political importance of the first ladyship in the United States.
Preventing and Appeasing COVID-19 Vaccine Tension in Schools to Protect the Well-Being of Children and Adolescents in Québec, Canada
Authors: Santavicca Tara , Vanier-Clément Anabelle , Rousseau Cécile
Published: October 2022

Objectives: This article describes an intervention that took place in Québec, Canada, to mitigate COVID-19 vaccine tension in schools, exacerbated by the 12-17 years old vaccination campaign. Building on this initiative, it proposes guiding principles for prevention and intervention in conflict around COVID-19 vaccination in and around schools.

Intervention: Three complementary tools were developed by a community program, CoVivre, in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team, to help practitioners and parents understand vaccine tensions and their impact on youth, and to suggest simple ways to prevent and intervene in vaccine related conflicts.

Recommendations: A thorough research evaluation could not be performed due to the rapid crisis response; however, the tools received positive feedback by practitioners, institutions, and decision makers. Recommendations were structured around the following principles: (a) fostering transparent and nuanced health communications; (b) avoiding confrontation and refusing to escalate while strongly condemning criminal acts; (c) encouraging open dialogue; and (d) preserving relationships.

Implications: Mental health consequences of public health interventions should be considered at inception to avoid collateral damages. Removing children from the heart of societal conflict and maintaining the family-school relationship is crucial to child development. It is imperative to engage interdisciplinary teams to protect youth from societal polarization, and provide an opportunity for growth and resilience. This initiative suggests that more research is needed on the impacts of encouraging an open dialogue around vaccination, and adopting an empathetic approach amongst youth towards others who may not share the same opinion.
Simulated patient perceptions of telesimulation education

Published: October 2022

Perspectives of simulated participants (SPs) as stakeholders in simulation education are under-represented. With rapid increase in virtual education and anticipation of post-pandemic continuation it is important to establish best practices. This work aims to determine SP perceptions of telesimulation.

In-depth semi-structured interviews determined SP opinions of participation in telesimulation. Thematic analysis utilizing an inductive and semantic iterative coding process was performed. SPs completed a survey of their demographics, experience and prior SP training, both virtual and in-person.

Data sufficiency occurred after 16 interviews (10 females/6 males; 15 White/1 Black/African American). Median age was 56 years (range 37–72). Median number of in-person simulation experiences was 100 (range 6–300) and 27 telesimulations (range 3–100). Thematic analysis identified five themes: (1) students behave differently (distracted, less professional, less prepared for ‘real life’, less nervous), (2) my performance – some things are easier and some harder (increased cognitive load, coming out of role more, difficulties with non-verbal aspect, more standardized performance), (3) it’s harder to connect with learners (different cues, less of a personal connection), (4) safety for all in telesimulation (as psychologically safe as in-person, appreciate opportunity to continue to educate/work, personal safety), (5) future applications of telesimulation (telehealth training, better access to education for learners).

SP perceptions of telesimulation education revealed appreciation of the educational modality and identified potential benefit in telehealth education. SPs were concerned about learner participation, professionalism and resultant preparation for clinical practice. Incorporating SP feedback into telesimulation education may be important to ensure high quality.
