Equity is not an add-on: Designing an inclusive training course for EdTech Advisors
Authors: Sirkhotte Widad , Vilakati Thula
Published: December 2023

A key challenge of online learning environments is exclusionary practices that continuously result in some students falling behind academically. As a way to begin to address this challenge, the University of Cape Town is rethinking approaches to redesigning courses in order to improve student learning outcomes. By extending support to teaching staff, the Redesigning Blended Courses (RBC) project trained and deployed a cadre of postgraduate students as Educational Technology (EdTech) Advisors. Universal Design for Learning principles and a commitment to social justice underpinned the training, which was designed by members of the RBC project. The training provided an opportunity to examine the concepts of accessibility and inclusivity, both theoretically and practically through learning scenarios, and to guide the EdTech Advisors in their work with learning designers. What made the design of the training particularly challenging was its ambitious goal of preparing EdTech Advisors for a dynamic role that is emergent and still in flux. In this chapter, we critically reflect on the design and implementation of the EdTech Advisor training. We highlight the importance of collaboration and integrating explicit learning design approaches from the outset, both of which are important elements for equity-oriented course design, as well as thinking about authentic learning opportunities for students. A potential benefit of this study is to improve EdTech Advisors’ training, enhancing their knowledge and skills in order to better support course teams in redesigning courses.
How to insert design into the emergency online response – learning designers’ reflections
Authors: Raudzingana Mashudu , Small Janet
Published: December 2023

Like most other countries, South Africa experienced hard lockdown restrictions because of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Higher education institutions across the country, including the University of Cape Town (UCT), were closed and teaching and learning moved online. In this chapter, we, two online learning designers at the Center for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT) at UCT, document our experiences rapidly developing a short online course: the “Design Studio” for teaching staff during this unplanned pivot to take their teaching online. Our roles as online learning designers positioned us as experts to provide our reflections and lessons learnt through our practice designing and teaching on the short course that may resonate with the curriculum and course development sector globally. In Design Studio, we made use of three of Meyers’ strategies for reimaging online spaces as opportunities for transformative learning for students by creating a safe environment, encouraging participants to think about their experiences, beliefs and biases, and adopting teaching strategies that promoted engagement and participation. Critical reflection and orientations to student-centred design, specifically, Universal Design for Learning underpinned design choices in order to both support participants and model good practice.
Adaptable ABC: Learning design for all
Authors: Gormley Clare , Lowney Rob , Stone Suzanne
Published: December 2023

ABC Learning Design (ABC LD) was devised to offer educators an accessible and re-usable mechanism to plan blended and online learning experiences. ABC LD is fundamentally a framework and a curriculum development workshop to enable collaborative learning design. In approximately 90 minutes teaching teams work together to create a visual ‘storyboard’ of the various learning activities and assessments required to meet module or programme learning outcomes.

This chapter was co-authored by teaching support professional staff who are deeply involved with the use, promotion, and adaptation of the ABC LD framework at Dublin City University (DCU), Ireland. They first share their individual reflections on how their philosophy of learning has evolved. The three authors will then describe how that thinking has influenced their institution’s adaptations of ABC LD by: harmonising Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and ABC, enabling meaningful student partnership in the design process, and empowering sometimes marginalised or isolated academics in course design decisions. Finally, the chapter collates local and international ABC resources that can be used – and indeed further adapted – by those who may think along similar lines.
Using Laurillard’s learning types as a lens for course design in a chemical engineering undergraduate course
Authors: Oyekola Oluwaseun
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic created a series of conditions that required the redesign of a Chemical Engineering course at a university of technology. Faced with constrained access to digital infrastructure, limited digital literacies and historically poor preparedness for engineering as a field of study, I sought to create a learning design that mitigated both the long-standing challenges of the context and the more immediate constraints posed by emergency remote teaching. This chapter discusses the application of Diana Laurillard's six learning types in the context of emergency remote learning in a second-year chemical engineering course. The learning types, Acquisition, Inquiry, Practice, Discussion, Collaboration, and Production, are connected to analogue and digital learning activities. Laurillard's framework is used to design a varied and responsive learning environment that includes digital tools such as YouTube, Zoom, WhatsApp, and others. The chapter reflects on the challenges faced during remote teaching, emphasising the importance of connection and community. Strategies like the "Buddy System" and building teacher presence through various tools are discussed. The study concludes with insights into the transformative learning experience, advocating for a continued shift towards innovative and flexible teaching approaches in the post-pandemic era.
The digital divide and the accessibility of print-based learning materials
Authors: Kazavanga Japhet
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a rapid shift of face-to-face classes to online classes. Furthermore, globally, distance education is shifting towards online education. In the context of Namibia, characterised by high levels of unequal access to limited resources, I, an instructional designer at a Namibian university, maintain that the retention of conventional distance models, and the production of print study materials is key to both access and equity. While going digital reduces costs for the institution in some ways, it reduces the opportunities for students with limited access to digital infrastructure and digital literacies. Moving away from printed guides towards online-only materials widens the digital divide.
E-Learning tools for contrasting contexts
Authors: Moodley Kimera , Wyk Mari
Published: December 2023

The historical background in South Africa has played a significant role in creating large gaps in the integration of technology in higher education institutions. Students from historically disadvantaged communities often remain marginalised with limited opportunities for online learning. In this chapter we unpack the different contexts within the country, describe their living circumstances and how this impacts on their exposure to online learning. We provide suitable intervention strategies that can be used to demonstrate how lessons can be adapted to achieve outcomes by adapting pedagogies and e-learning tools. The basis of these proposed interventions are governed by the SAMR technology integration model, ideas around humanising pedagogies and the reflective practice of our student feedback from different contexts.
Navigating the learning design landscape: A response to Shironica Karunanayaka’s “The challenge of designing learning experiences”
Authors: Govender Shanali
Published: December 2023

Shironica Karunanayaka’s provocation, “The challenge of designing learning experiences’, articulates a selection of challenges and opportunities around the creation of learning activities. She asserts the importance of designing “learning activities with a clear purpose and supported with a strong theoretical view of how learning occurs’. This response invites the reader to consider the section in relation to three questions:
What theoretical resources does each chapter bring to your learning design work and how do these theories intersect in your current landscape?
How does the context from which this work emerges reflect or diffract aspects of your context?
What does each chapter demand of us, as readers, as professionals? And how do we feel about those demands?
The role of learning designers
Authors: Walji Sukaina
Published: December 2023

In the South African context, learning design and the specific job title of “learning designer” has recently become more prevalent. The value of learning designers is also becoming increasingly recognised. Yet, while learning designers have become more prominent, often leading course teams in blended and online course development, their status in a university is still something that is being established and negotiated.

Rethinking and recasting the textbook: Reframing learning design with open educational practices
Authors: Harrison Michelle , DeVries Irwin , Paskevicius Michael , Morgan Tannis
Published: December 2023

Many notable developments have taken place in the evolution of open educational practices (OEP). Among these, we focus on two in particular. First is the proliferation of the use of open textbooks, which have become a major component within OEP. Second, there are ongoing efforts at rethinking learning design in the context of open education. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss how we challenged ourselves to rethink learning designs that can result from a rethinking of open textbooks as educational artefact. We position this in the context of centering equity and social justice in learning design through both challenging single narratives and taking advantage of the affordances of an open textbook. As part of this discussion and challenge, we outline a design-based research project where we are developing a prototype for a community-generated, non-hierarchical teaching and learning resource (“untextbook”) model that is open to ongoing extension and reframing. As we engage in the development of an organic, fluid resource, we invite learners to participate in ongoing cycles of extending and reframing the existing content to open new learning pathways prompted by considerations of relevant issues, lenses, roles and settings in a WordPress-based authoring tool. These cycles include a research project that is in the process of obtaining feedback and reflections from graduate students involved in courses where the prototype is being implemented.
Open learning designers on the margins
Authors: Roberts Verena , Havemann Leo , DeWaard Helen
Published: December 2023

Prior to the global COVID-19 pandemic, learning designers and adjacent professionals worked closely with educators to develop technologically supported and enhanced learning opportunities – often particularly within online education spaces, though increasingly also in blended learning contexts. In the rush of pandemic mitigation, educational equity fault lines were exposed and exacerbated, as classroom-based teaching was rapidly redeployed into online and digital spaces. The authors offer this chapter as a reflection of their work as learning designers, but also as practitioners of open education, as part of a necessary collective effort to do better, through the open sharing of strategies, discoveries, questions and uncertainties. Here we propose the application of the concept of third space to illuminate the position of learning designers in higher education, especially as they attempt to navigate and negotiate a practice of open(ing) learning design that is intentional, equitable and reflective. Third space is explored as both a site of identity-building for learning designers and as a challenging, liminal, boundary-spanning location for learning design practice. We share some principles of open learning design and learner readiness. We share a contextual application for learning that prioritises students in the learning equation. As learning designers, we suggest that, to engage and inspire learning, our practice must be grounded on ethical considerations for human care, equity, criticality and openness.
Compassionate learning design for unsettling times
Authors: Gachago Daniela
Published: December 2023

Staff mental health has already been of concern globally before COVID-19. It has heightened interest in pedagogical approaches that would foreground the affective component of learning and teaching. Examples of these approaches are humanising online pedagogies, pedagogueies of care or trauma-informed pedagogy. In this piece, Daniela reflects on these approaches and the need to intentionally build these pedagogies into the learning design process.
Inclusive online assessment practices in distance learning education explored through autoethnographic narrative vignettes
Authors: Adebayo Oluwakemi , Morkel Jolanda
Published: December 2023

Discovering new approaches to inclusive online assessment is a major concern for many educational institutions especially in online and distance learning settings. This chapter explores effective strategies used in the Teaching Life Sciences module of a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) programme offered through distance learning by a private higher education institution in South Africa. We identify and examine five inclusive online assessment practices namely, conversational, practical, collaborative, reflective and applicational. We also offer examples of each of these practices, based on our experience in the Teaching Life Sciences module. Drawing on these experiences and the unprecedented events of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we explore what the future holds for inclusive online assessment practices with a focus on maintaining academic rigour and validity while ensuring that student agency and freedom are not compromised.

Department of Agronomy, Assam A gricultural University, Jorhat, Assam 785 013 I Received : January 2001 A field experiment was conducted at the Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, during the rainy season of 1997 and 1998, to study the recycling effect of crop residues along with chemical fertilizers on physico chemical properties of soil at hawest and on yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Incorporation of crop residues like wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori Paol.) straw (5 tonneslha) or rice straw (5 tonneslha) decreased the bulk density and increased the organic matter, cation exchange capacity, hydraulic conductivity, water holding capacity of soil than the initial values after 2 years of study and also increased the grain and straw yields of rice. Rice straw incorporated treatment did not show significant difference with wheat straw incorporated treatment. Increasing levels of NPK applied in rice increassd grain and straw yields and did not show any significant effect on soil physico chemical properties.
Effect of crop residue incorporation and nitrogen on succeeding wheat (Triticum aestivum)
Authors: K.P. VERMA
Published: December 2023

A field experiment was conducted during 1997 98 to 1999 2000 to work out the effect of residue incorporation of rice (Oryza safiva L.), soybean [Glycjne max (L.) Merr.] and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and nitrogen requirement of succeeding wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori Paol.) crop. An increasing trend was recorded in wheat yield and organic carbon content in soil with the incorporation of crop residue. Incorporation of groundnut residue showed higher rate of increase in grain yield of wheat than soybean and rice. Improvement in grain yield of wheat was observed with application of higher dose (150 kglha) of nitrogen. In general, positive improvement in soil fertility status was recorded with residue incorporation. The crop sequence of wheat followed by rice produced highest net return and benefit :cost ratio. Similar trend was also noticed with removal of residue and application of higher dose of nitrogen.

Published: December 2023

A field experimental was conducted during the winters of 1996 97 and 1997 98 to study the comparative performance of different herbicides, their combinations and their reduced doses for weed control in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori Paol.) seed crop. Unchecked weeds caused nearly 37.7% seed yield loss. Maximum seed yield of 39.9 and 33.66 qlha was recorded in weed free treatment, respectively, during both the years. This high yielding treatment was significantly at par with weed free season long and sequential application of herbicides and herbicide mixture, but was statistically significant to full and half doses of pendimethalin and metsulfuron methyl in both the years. Pendimethalin Q 1.0 kg a.i./ha and metsulfuron C.008 kg a.i./ha significantly increased seed yield over unweeded control. Reduced dose of isoproturon 8 0.05 kg a.i./ha, pendimethalin 0.5 kg a.i./ha and metsulfuron Q 0.004 kg a.i.1 ha was least effective in controlling weeds and had minimum impact on enhancing seed yield over the control.
Employing Patriotism and Nationalism in Destination Crisis Communication Strategy for the Pandemic
Authors: Talawanich Suwadee , Pongwat Arinya
Published: December 2023

This research primarily aims to investigate the implementation of patriotism and nationalism crisis communication strategies when destination marketers wish to attract domestic tourists to resume their travel consumption following the COVID-19 pandemic. The focal point of the investigation is to explain the mechanisms occurring in potential domestic tourists after communication via this strategy. The research objectives were set to test the causal relationships among destination reputation, trust, intentions to conduct secondary crisis communication, and visit intentions. Data were gathered from 546 potential Thai tourists via a survey questionnaire, with Phuket, Thailand, selected as the crisis scenario. Findings were analyzed via structural equation modeling and suggest that only trust positively impacts intentions to conduct secondary crisis communication. In contrast, visit intentions were positively affected by multiple influential factors (i.e., destination reputation, trust, and intentions to conduct secondary crisis communication). The findings yield suggestions on how to design and enhance the patriotism and nationalism messages to ensure a high level of visit intentions and intentions to conduct secondary crisis communication, for concerned practitioners who are responsible for destination marketing in the post-pandemic time when domestic tourists have become one of the primary and crucial target customers.

Published: December 2023

Over the past few decades, Thailand has witnessed a decline in production from small-scale beef cattle farming, accompanied by a reduced interest from younger generations in continuing family farming. The present study aimed to determine the state of these farms based on good agricultural practices (GAP) and explored factors influencing beef herd productivity and the willingness of the next generation to sustain the family business. Data from 1,175 questionnaires from 34 provinces was analyzed using SPSS. Beef herds with higher calving rates (CR ≥ 60%) had better herd, reproductive, and health management scores compared with the lower CR (<60%) group. Results from a negative binomial regression showed that factors, i.e., prediction of calving date and routine deworming positively impacted CR, while others like feeding types, mineral supplements, vaccination and hormonal estrus synchronization negatively correlated with CR. Expert opinions (N = 83) highlighted the importance of recording systems, heat detection programs, pregnancy diagnosis, feeding type, sufficient qualified water supply and mineral supplements. The use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and GLM analysis also noted that farm potential score, farmer gender, and occupations were pivotal for the sustainability of beef farming. This research aids in strategizing for enhanced sustainable beef production in Thailand.

Osmanlı Devleti’nde Gayrimüslimlerin Hukuki Statüsüne Vatandaşlık Hakkı Açısından Bir Bakış
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Elif
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışma, vatandaşlık hakkı bağlamında Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'ndaki gayrimüslimlerin hukuki statüsüne odaklanmaktadır. Kişi ile devlet arasındaki siyasi-hukuki bağı ifade eden vatandaşlık, bugünkü niteliğine Fransız Devrimi'nden sonra kavuşmuştur. Ancak bu kavram hak ve yükümlülüklerin bağlı olduğu bir statü ve bir devlete sadakat anlamında eski zamanlardan beri var olmuştur. Osmanlı Devleti’nde gayrimüslimlerin hukuki statüsü şer'i hukuka dayanmaktaydı. Şer'i hukuka göre İslam devleti, kendisine zimmet akdiyle bağlı olan gayrimüslimlerin can, mal ve namus güvenliğini iç ve dış saldırılara karşı korumakla yükümlüdür. Gayrimüslimler zimmet akdi ile İslam devletinin tebaası olurlar. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, İslam hukukunun zimmî statüsüne ilişkin ilkelerine dayanarak kendi yapısına uygun bir sistem (millet sistemi) benimsemiş ve gayrimüslim toplulukları ruhani liderler (patrikler) aracılığıyla yönetmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti, zamanla Avrupa karşısında zayıflamasıyla Tanzimat devri reform hareketleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu dönemde çıkarılan anayasal belgeler ve yasalar, gayrimüslimlerin haklarının artmasına ve eşitliğe dayalı bir vatandaşlık anlayışının geliştirilmesine önemli katkıda bulunmuştur. Osmanlı hükümetinin farklı etnik ve dini grupları 'Osmanlı üst kimliği' çatısı altında birleştirme politikası, milliyetçi hareketler ve Avrupa devletlerinin müdahalesi nedeniyle başarısız olmuştur. Bu çalışma, tarihsel ve hukuki bir perspektifle Osmanlı Devleti'nde gayrimüslimlerin hukuki statüsünü, vatandaşlık hakkı açısından -İslam hukukunun kendine özgü yaklaşımını ve dönemin siyasi ve sosyal koşullarını göz önünde bulundurarak- incelemektedir.

Published: December 2023

Türk edebiyat ve düşünce dünyasında önemli bir konuma sahip olan Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, dergi yayımcılığı noktasında da iz bırakmayı ve adından söz ettirmeyi başarmış isimlerdendir. Ağaç ile dergicilik hayatına adım atan Kısakürek, bu konudaki asıl ününü Büyük Doğu dergisi ile kazanmıştır. Bununla birlikte literatürde pek ele alınmamış olmasına rağmen Kısakürek’in hayatının son yıllarındaki düşünce dünyasına ışık tutan ve dönemin siyasal hayatıyla dirsek teması kurmasını sağlayan Rapor’a da özel bir önem vermek gerekmektedir. Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, günlük siyasi olaylar hakkındaki değerlendirmelerini Şubat 1976 tarihinden itibaren kendisinin dergi-kitap olarak nitelediği Rapor'da yayımlamaya başlamıştır. 1980 yılının aralık ayına kadar toplam 13 sayı çıkartılan bu yayın, Kısakürek'in 12 Eylül Darbesi’nin öncesi ve sonrasına dair yaptığı değerlendirmeler ile döneme ışık tutmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda yapılan araştırmanın amacı, Rapor dergisi vasıtasıyla Kısakürek’in 12 Eylül Darbesi’ne bakışını ortaya serebilmektir. Bunun yanı sıra, hem Kısakürek’in darbeye dair tutumunun arkasındaki nedenleri anlayabilmek hem de dönemin toplumsal ve siyasal iklimini takip edebilmek adına Rapor’da öne çıkan temalar incelenmiştir. Yapılan araştırma Rapor’un özellikle dokuzuncu sayısından itibaren Kısakürek’in, ordunun siyasete müdahalesini teşvik ettiğini göstermektedir. Zira Kısakürek, bu tür bir hareketi, ülkeyi içinde bulunduğu durumdan kurtaracak yegâne çıkış olarak görmektedir. Darbenin gerçekleşmesinden sonraki değerlendirmelerinde ise 27 Mayıs 1960 Darbesi, 12 Mart 1971 Muhtırası ile 12 Eylül 1980 Darbesi arasında keskin bir ayrım yapan Kısakürek, 12 Eylül Darbesi’nin her iki hareketten de farklı bir noktada olduğunu ve millî bir ihtiyaç sonucu ortaya çıktığını vurgulamaktadır. Nihai olarak Necip Fazıl Kısakürek’in Rapor dergi-kitaplar aracılığıyla 12 Eylül 1980 Darbesi’ni onayladığı görülmektedir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Liselere Giriş Sınavı (LGS) matematik sorularıyla üç adet 8. sınıf matematik ders kitabı ünite değerlendirme sorularının bilişsel düzeylerine göre dağılımını karşılaştırmaktır. 8. sınıf matematik ders kitaplarındaki toplam 493 ünite değerlendirme sorusu LGS’de sorulmuş 60 matematik sorusu analiz edilmiştir. Veriler betimsel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Betimsel analizler için Bloom Taksonomisi kullanılmıştır. Analizlerden elde edilen bulgulara göre 8. sınıf matematik ders kitaplarındaki ünite değerlendirme sorularının bilişsel düzey olarak en fazla kavrama daha sonra uygulama basamağında, LGS’deki matematik soruları ise en fazla uygulama daha sonra analiz basamağında olduğu görülmüştür. LGS’lerde bilgi, sentez ve değerlendirme basamağından, ünite değerlendirme sorularında ise sentez basamağından soru yoktur. Ünite değerlendirme sorularında sadece 4 tane üst bilişsel düzeyden soru vardır. Ünite değerlendirme sorularında kavrama basamağı ön plana çıkarken, LGS matematik sorularında ise uygulama basamağının ön plana çıktığı görülmüştür. LGS’de sorulan matematik sorularının öğrenilen bilgi ve kavramları kullanmaya yönelik olduğu bu yönüyle de ders kitaplarındaki soruların sınav sorularının bilişsel düzeylerinin altında kaldığı söylenebilir

Ebeveyn stres ve yetkinlik durumları sağlıklı anne ve baba olmada önemli bir faktördür. Ebeveynlerin sağlıklı biçimde yetkinlik düzeylerinin arttırılması, stres düzeylerinin azaltılması bireylerin sağlıklı kararlar almasında etkilidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ebeveynlere yapılandırılmış bir program aracılığıyla çocukla iletişim, çocuk ihmali ve istismarı, ebeveyn tutumları gibi konularda bilgi ve beceri kazandırmadır. Araştırmacı tarafından 5 oturumdan oluşan yapılandırılmış program hazırlanmış, ön test ve son test uygulanmış, çalışma grubunu oluşturan bireylerin ölçme araçlarından aldıkları puanlar Bağımlı Örneklem T Testi aracılığıyla analiz edilmiş ve karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmaya Sakarya ilinde belirlenmiş okullarda çocuğu olan, hem ölçme araçlarından aldıkları puan kriterini sağlayan hem de gönüllü olan 11 veli katılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre çalışma grubuna uygulanan ebeveyn stres düzeyi ölçümlerinde ön test ve son test puanlarına ilişkin anlamlı bir farklılık çıkmamakla birlikte ebeveynlerin stres düzeylerinde aritmetik olarak azalma görülmüştür. Ebeveyn yetkinlik düzeyleri özelinde bakıldığında ise son test puanları ön test puanlarından daha düşük çıkmış olup bu durumun sebebi olarak ebeveynlerin yetkinlik düzeylerine ilişkin farkındalıklarının geliştiği ve bu doğrultuda daha doğru bir yetkinlik derecelemesi yaptıkları şeklinde yorumlanmıştır. Tüm bu verilerden hareketle sonuçlar; çalışmaya benzer diğer çalışmalarla kıyaslanarak tartışılmış ve Psikolojik Danışma ve Rehberlik, Psikoloji, Sosyal Hizmet ve Çocuk Gelişimi disiplinleri ile ilişkilendirilerek öneriler getirilmiştir.

Published: December 2023

Bertolotti syndrome, also called transverse megapophysis, is a congenital anomaly consisting of transitional vertebrae at the lumbosacral level, whereby the last L5 lumbar vertebra becomes “sacralized”. It is one of the causes of chronic low back pain, reaching 20% in those under 30 years of age, with few cases reported in children. A 14-year-old girl is presented with low back pain for 2 months with little response to symptomatic treatment. Complementary tests were requested, finding a transverse megapophysis in L5 in the column X-ray. The patient remains under follow-up by traumatology with analgesic and physiotherapy treatment.
Antibiotic eye drops shorten the duration of infectious conjunctivitis in children
Authors: Blanco Carolina , Aizpurua Pilar
Published: December 2023

Authors´ conclusions: topical antibiotics were associated with significantly shorter durations of conjunctival symptoms in children with acute infective conjunctivitis. Reviewers´ commentary: the use of topical antibiotics modestly benefits the patient, shortening the clinical cure in acute conjunctivitis. However, given the self-limited course of this pathology and the lack of cost-effectiveness studies in this area, its generalized prescription in primary care does not seem justified. Such studies should be carried out to assess the overall impact on society of the treatment of these patients.

Published: December 2023

Acute otitis media (AOM) is a very frequent diagnosis in Primary Care, sometimes complicated with suppuration, and less frequently, with mastoiditis. We present the case of a 6-year-old girl who, after being diagnosed with suppurative AOM and starting antibiotic treatment, began with vomiting, dizziness and headache, as well as poor pain control with the usual analgesia and subsequent photophobia. After several visits, a mastoiditis with thrombosis of the transverse, sigmoid and jugular sinuses was finally diagnosed. The importance of the case lies in a rapid suspicion of possible complications of otitis media in order to diagnose and treat them early.

Currently, the health care model for the paediatric and juvenile population in primary care varies throughout Spain. Primary care is the first contact for paediatric patients and their families, care that was mainly provided by paediatricians and which must be addressed in an integrated manner by the professional categories involved in the promotion, health education and comprehensive care of children, such as paediatricians, paediatric nurses and nurses in charge of educational centres. The paediatrician and the paediatric nurse are the professionals adequately trained to care for the paediatric population in primary care and good care requires the interdependence of both professionals and cooperation with other professional figures in the educational centre and the health centre. Community health activities are necessary, working with the assets of the community to achieve health care based on equity and quality from a global perspective of the child in his or her biopsychosocial nature.
The Application Of Lean Principles To In-Service Support: A Comparison Between Construction And The Aerospace And Defense Sectors.
Authors: Cullen Penny-Anne , Butcher Bob , Hickman Richard , Keast John , Valadez Miguel
Published: December 2023

Lean principles have shaped the automotive sector’s success in reducing costs and improving performance. Other industry sectors such as aerospace and construction in the U.K. have pursued similar benefits by similar means with differing degrees of success. An acknowledged vein of research in the transaction cost economics and relational contracting fields, emphasises the importance of informal norms and formal, legal documents and doctrines in commercial relations. This research illustrates that written agreements are influenced by the parties’ past relations, each one’s perception of the other’s reputation, future business prospects, as well as influences from the external environment. This paper argues that a successful and thorough application of lean principles is predicated on establishing these relational contracting norms and formal contracts which, we argue, promote an environment for fully rendering lean principles. We present a comparison of the construction and aerospace and defense sectors which have attempted to follow the automotive lead and apply lean principles in somewhat different environments. Their experiences in aftermarket and in-service support operations provide preliminary evidence supporting the paper’s central hypothesis. In effect, the construction and aerospace and defense sectors have adopted different positions relating to the importance of contractual structures in the pursuit of business improvement and as a result, have had varying success in the implementation of ‘lean’ approaches.
APPLICATION OF LEAN MANUFACTURING PRINCIPLES TO CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Salem Ossama , Zimmer E
Published: December 2023

The subject set forth in the reviewed CII report #191, authored by James E. Diekmann, Mark Krewedl, Joshua Balonick, Travis Stewart, and Spencer Wonis, is concerned with the applicability of “lean production” principles, currently being implemented in manufacturing, to the construction industry. The manufacturing industry has seen dramatic improvements in productivity and quality, while reducing cost and lead times. The construction industry has not seen such positive results. Improvement opportunities are in demand. However, both of these industries involve the management of complex operations and strive to deliver a quality product in the shortest feasible time possible. Moreover, in each of these industries it is important to save money and stay competitive. Given these similarities, we wish to decipher if the lean manufacturing principles can be applied to construction and if similar benefits could result. The primary question in this report that the authors seek to answer is, “Does lean practice hold potential for improving construction?”
PPC2000: Association Of Consultant Architects Standard Form Of Project Partnering Contract
Authors: Saunders Katie , Mosey David
Published: December 2023

PPC2000 (Mosey 2005) is a published form of multi-party contract for procurement of capital projects in any jurisdiction. It is based on heads of terms devised by the cross industry Construction Industry Council Partnering Taskforce and was drafted by the UK and International law firm Trowers & Hamlins. PPC2000 was launched by Sir John Egan in September 2000 and has since been adopted on over £8 billion of construction and engineering projects. The key differences between PPC2000 and other published contract forms are that:- • it integrates the entire Project Team under a single multi-party contract; • it covers the entire duration of the procurement process.
Lean Construction: Where Are We and How To Proceed?
Authors: Bertelsen Sven
Published: December 2023

This paper is written in the light of the papers for the 12th annual conference in the International Group for Lean Construction. It tries to establish a brief overview of the development over the past twelve years and to establish the state of the art. From this its primary objective is to open a discussion of the future effort within the Lean Construction environment. The paper proposes that a change in the underlying paradigm is happening and that a new research agenda should be established with an outset in the lean understanding of the construction process as it is known from the construction sites and with a complex systems understanding of the nature of this process. Elements in this agenda are outlined and areas for research identified within the areas of maximizing value for the client, minimizing waste in delivering this value, and managing the project delivery.
Relational Contracts -NEC in Perspective Philosophy and Ethos of ECC
Authors: Gerrard Robert
Published: December 2023

In the UK in particular the NEC is used across the construction sector in building, civil engineering, utilities and power. Some of the major projects NEC is used on includes BAA’s Heathrow Terminal 5, Channel Tunnel Rail Link, the Eden project and the National Health Services’ Procure21 hospital building framework. Outside the UK, Eskom in South Africa is a major user. The successor, the ECC, is intended to provide an up to date method for employers, designers, contractors and project managers to work collaboratively and to achieve their own objectives for their work more consistently than other forms of contract. This should lead to a much reduced risk to the employer of cost and time overruns and of poor performance of the completed projects which should give a much increased likelihood of achieving a profit for the contractor, subcontractor and suppliers. The developments of the contracts and their state of implementation is discussed.
Project Alliancing: A Relational Contracting Mechanism for Dynamic Projects
Authors: Sakal Matthew
Published: December 2023

The environment in which construction projects are accomplished today often involves completing complex, uncertain projects within tight budget and time constraints. In this environment ‘change’ is a defining characteristic and is inevitable. Unfortunately, most traditional contracts do not embrace change, but instead treat it as an anomaly by trying to specify every possible contingency and assign liability in the event change occurs. As projects become more dynamic, this increasingly leads to detrimental adversarial relations as individuals focus on protecting profit and not collaborating to maximize project performance. In response to traditional contracting limitations, Project Alliancing, developed originally by British Petroleum in the North Sea, is a relational contracting mechanism widely employed by Australia’s public sector to handle high visibility, complex capital works projects. Project Alliancing is a dramatic departure from traditional contracting methods in that it encourages project participants to work as an integrated team by tying the commercial objectives (i.e. profit) of all the parties to the actual outcome of the project. In this arrangement all decisions are made “best for project” and not “best for individual” since the alliance either wins or loses as a group.
Comparison between transient and permanent congenital hypothyroidism on a thyroid function test after re-evaluation
Authors: Lee Song Han , Lee Hyun Gyung , Yang Eun Mi , Kim Chan Jong
Published: December 2023

Purpose: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is diagnosed with neonatal screening and is treated early in the neonatal period. Among these patients, transient CH (TCH) is included and requires re-evaluation. The purpose of this study was to find the best way to discontinue levothyroxine and to find trends in thyroid function tests (TFTs) after re-evaluation.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 388 patients diagnosed with CH. They were classified as permanent CH (PCH) and TCH. The total number of the PCH and TCH groups was 83 (51 boys and 32 girls). We compared clinical parameters to predict TCH and to identify the trends of TFT.Results: The first thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) value after discontinuation and the average TSH value for 1, 2, and 3 years were all significantly higher in the PCH group (P<0.01). The first fT4 value after discontinuation and the average fT4 value for 1, 2, and 3 years were all significantly higher in the TCH group (P<0.01). The optimal cutoff value on the receiver operating characteristic curve for PCH prediction with an average of 3 years of TSH was greater than 9.05 μIU/mL, which was predicted with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 100%.Conclusion: When the TSH value ranges from 10 μIU/mL to 20 μIU/mL, clinicians can discontinue levothyroxine if the next result is around 10 μIU/mL or shows a decreasing trend.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the association of birth weight with the risk of diabetes mellitus in adolescence and early adulthood in the Indonesian population.Methods: This study analyzed data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey, a longitudinal study of the Indonesian population with repeated measurements at 3 time points (1997, 2007, and 2014). The subjects observed were children aged 0–59 months in 1997, who were 10–15 years old in 2007, and 17–22 years in 2014. We performed a generalized linear model to investigate the association between birth weight at baseline and the level of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at the 2 follow-up periods. We adjusted the association for the characteristics of the children, parents, and household.Results: The mean±standard deviation level of HbA1c was 7.35%±0.95% in 2007 and decreased to 5.30%±0.85% in 2014. The crude β (95% confidence interval [CI]) of the association between birth weight and HbA1c was 0.150 (-0.076, 0.377) in 2007 and 0.146 (-0.060, 0.351) in 2014. After adjustment for the sociodemographic characteristics of the children, parents, and confounding factors, the adjusted β (95% CI) was 1.12 (0.40–1.85) in 2007 and 0.92 (0.35–1.48) in 2014. The HbA1c of the parents, father’s employment status, percentage of food expenditure, and underweight were the covariates that had significant associations with HbA1c.Conclusion: HbA1c level was higher in adolescence than in early adulthood. Birth weight was associated with HbA1c level in both periods. The HbA1c of the parents, father’s employment, percentage of food expenditure, and underweight partly explained the association between birth weight and the HbA1c level.
