Authors: Saxena Sangeeta , Tisdell Elizabeth , Aumiller Betsy
Published: August 2024

abstract

Introduction:

This qualitative, research studies female physicians in leadership roles to identify reasons for their underrepresentation.

Materials and Methods:

Fourteen female physicians in leadership positions in India’s federal and state ministries of health were purposively sampled and interviewed online.

Results:

Female physician face cultural, organisational and structural barriers. Familial expectations and imbibed, internalised responsibility to prioritise family hold them back. The rigid bureaucracy makes their workplaces non-inclusive. Microaggressions and implicit gender bias abound. A formalised training system and a performance-based reward system are absent. The enabling factors are family support, incidental learning, being emotionally intelligent and passion for their work.

Conclusions:

Action at the societal, medical education and public health system structural level can motivate female physicians to assume for leadership positions.
Tunneling effect in two dimensions with vanishing magnetic fields
Authors: Abou Alfa Khaled
Published: August 2024

In this paper, we consider the semiclassical 2D magnetic Schrödinger operator in the case where the magnetic field vanishes along a smooth closed curve. Assuming that this curve has an axis of symmetry, we prove that semiclassical tunneling occurs. The main result is an expression of the splitting of the first two eigenvalues and an explicit tunneling formula.

Authors: Zworski Maciej
Published: August 2024

The study of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) is a hot topic in condensed matter physics with special focus on
magic angles
of twisting at which TBG acquires unusual properties. Mathematically, topologically non-trivial flat bands appear at those special angles. The chiral model of TBG pioneered by Tarnopolsky, Kruchkov, and Vishwanath (2019) has particularly nice mathematical properties and we survey, and in some cases, clarify, recent rigorous results which exploit them.

for Heavy Truck Powertrain
Authors: Li Keliang , Chen Guozheng , Sun Wanyu , Yan Shanheng , Li Ming , Liu Baoguo
Published: August 2024

A method of overall modeling and step-by-step solution was proposed to verify and
analyze the strength of the mount shell. First, a reliable finite element
simulation model was established based on testing of the mechanical properties
of rubber materials, constitutive model construction, and stiffness tests of the
mounts. Second, the displacement of the mount system under preloading and crash
loads was calculated separately through the modeling of the powertrain mount
simulation, which provided accurate load conditions of the mount for the
following work. Finally, the strength calculation and evaluation of the mount
shell was completed with the quasi-static solution method. This calculation
method could consider the influence of complex factors comprehensively, such as
assembly load distribution, large deformation of rubber, and contact
nonlinearity on the stress distribution of the mount shell. In addition, the
calculation method could solve the problem of balance between solution quality
and efficiency in modeling and solving complex structural mount systems.

Authors: Kang Chaerim , Shin Christopher J. , Han Ji Yun , Jarmale Spandana N. , Scott Ingrid U. , Sanders Karen M. , Greenberg Paul B.
Published: August 2024

Background Despite the increased use of telemedicine, the evidence base on virtual supervision in graduate medical education (GME) is not well described.

Objective To systematically review the impact of virtual supervision on trainee education, patient care, and patient satisfaction in Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited specialties.

Methods Two databases (PubMed, EMBASE) were searched from database inception to December 2022. Inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed, full-text, English-language articles reporting the use of virtual supervision in GME in ACGME-accredited specialties. Exclusion criteria were studies involving direct supervision, supervisors who were not credentialed physicians, or non-GME trainees. Two investigators independently extracted data and appraised the methodological quality of each study using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). The reporting of this systematic review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.

Results Of 5278 records identified, 26 studies met the eligibility criteria. Virtual supervision was predominantly utilized in operating rooms and inpatient settings, facilitating clinical examinations or surgical procedures through videoconferencing software in specialties such as dermatology, neurosurgery, and orthopedics. However, some studies reported technical challenges that hindered effective teaching and communication. Based on self-reported surveys, supervisor and trainee satisfaction with virtual supervision was mixed, while patient satisfaction with the care was generally high. The MMAT ratings suggested limitations in sampling strategy, outcome measurement, and confounding factors.

Conclusions Virtual supervision was applicable to various specialties and settings, facilitating communication between supervisors and trainees, although there were some technological challenges.

Published: August 2024

Background Virtual interviews may limit an applicant’s ability to ascertain the culture of a training program. No-stakes campus visits (NSCVs) have been offered but their value is unknown.

Objective The purpose of our study was to determine factors that influence applicants’ rank lists and determine barriers to and perceptions of NSCVs and their impact on applicants’ final rank lists.

Methods All interviewed applicants of graduate medical education (GME) programs who agreed to participate in the study were emailed a survey after the 2023 National Resident Matching Program Match. The survey contained sections on demographics, perspectives on factors affecting ranking decisions, and perceptions of NSCVs.

Results Of 796 applicants, 183 (22.9%) who interviewed at 16 different Mayo Clinic GME programs responded to the survey. Of 131 respondents who answered whether they accepted an NSCV offer, 39 (29.8%) accepted. Of 35 respondents who answered whether they thought attending NSCVs impacted their rank, 19 (54.3%) were either uncertain or said yes. Of 34 respondents who answered whether the NSCV influenced their ranking of the program, 16 (47.1%) said their rank did not change, 12 (35.3%) said they ranked the program higher, and 5 (14.7%) said they ranked the program lower. For respondents who did not attend NSCVs, financial burden and lack of time were primary reasons.

Conclusions NSCVs are perceived positively by most respondents. Many either believed they influenced their position on the program’s rank list or were unsure. Most respondents said NSCVs either improved or did not change their ranking of the program.

Background To address rural physician workforce shortages, the Health Resources and Services Administration funded multiple Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) awards, beginning in 2019, to develop rural residency programs in needed specialties.

Objective To describe early resident recruitment outcomes of the RRPD grants program.

Methods A cross-sectional survey of program directors or administrators of these 25 new rural residency training programs across the United States was administered at RRPD award conclusion in 2022. We performed descriptive analyses of applicant and Match data, including applications and interviews per resident position, positions filled in the main Match vs the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP), and recruitment of residents from the program’s state.

Results The 25 Cohort 1 RRPD programs ranged from 2 to 8 residents per year. Most programs (16 of 25, 64.0%) were rural expansion tracks of an urban program. Most programs were sufficiently developed to participate in the 2022 (N=17) or 2023 (N=20) Match; we report on 13 of 17 (76.5%) programs for 2022 and 14 of 20 (70.0%) programs for 2023. Programs completed a median of 14.8 interviews per position. Most positions were filled in the Match (43 of 58, 74.1% in 2022; 45 of 58, 77.6% in 2023); most others were filled in the SOAP. On average, 34.4% of enrolled residents were from the same state as the program (range 0-78.6%).

Conclusions The early resident recruitment outcomes of the RRPD model for developing new physician training in rural communities had sufficient recruitment success to support program continuation.
Content Specific Keyboard Layout Design for Smart Tv Applications
Authors: Keceli Yavuz , Wilson Abigail
Published: August 2024

This research aims to propose a genetic algorithm based methodology to design optimum keyboard layout for video streaming applications designed for smart TVs. Users need to use the arrow buttons on their remote controls to type the title of the movie or the TV show they are searching for. We downloaded approximately 9 million movie and TV show titles from the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) website. After data preprocessing, we calculated the frequency of letter sequences in these titles and used genetic algorithms to determine the optimum keyboard layout that would minimize the total number of clicks required to type the title using arrow buttons on a remote control. The proposed keyboard layout is tested using the movie titles in IMBD Top 100 list and compared with standard QWERTY keyboard and three other keyboards in alphabetical order. It was confirmed that the proposed keyboard layout required fewer number of clicks than other keyboard layouts in 83 titles and tied with one of the other keyboards in 4 titles.
Using a Next-Gen Platform and Deeply Digital Curricula to Support Alpha and iGen Learners and Their Teachers
Authors: Tapp Anne , Soloway Elliot , Norris Cathie , St.Clair Alex
Published: August 2024

Current curricula and pedagogy need to change to effectively support the learning needs of the Alphas and iGens. The Alpha Generation, children born after 2012, known as the “digital-first” generation, have grown up on hand-held, digital screens not watching television or reading paper-based books. Similarly, the iGens, also known as Gen Zs, university students born between 1995 and 2012, are the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. "With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person” (Twenge, 2017). The COVID disruption further pushed the Alphas and iGens onto screens for social interaction and learning. Returning to paper-and-pencil curricula and pedagogy does not serve the needs of these generations. The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) (2010) issued a prescient report describing the potential for deeply-digital curricula to “provide a richer and more engaging experience through interactive components, videos, simulations, hyperlinks …” (p. 77). Alphas' and iGens' deeply-digital experiences outside of school have them expecting deeply-digital learning experiences inside of school. Toward addressing the learning needs of Alphas in Kindergarten through sixth grade and iGen university students, we have been studying how deeply-digital, highly-interactive curricula plus digitally-motivated, pedagogical practices can increase their engagement and achievement in both in-class and remote learning environments.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of K-12 school staff who participate in social-emotional learning (SEL). Since the global pandemic, several school districts have included SEL as part of the school curriculum. Teachers, counselors, social workers, school psychologists, and school administrators participate in SEL instruction and/or practices. Classroom teachers instruct students in SEL instruction and other school staff practice the SEL components of self-awareness, self-management, decision-making, social awareness, and relationship skills through their daily interactions with students. This study was conducted in various schools throughout the Los Angeles area using open-ended interview questions that utilized focus groups and individual interviews according to their school positions. The schools were invited to participate in purposeful sampling. The participants were invited and selected to include the diversity of student population, size, location, and SEL programs. Interview questions examined the participants’ perceptions of the SEL program, practices, and school policy. Data collection involved note-taking and/or voice recordings.

Authors: Maatta Kaarina , Paakkonen Kati , Kotaniemi Sari , Suoheimo Mari
Published: August 2024

Inclusiveness is a principle of our current school system. Inclusive education should ensure equal learning opportunities for all, avoid stigmatising differences, and accept diversity in pupils. The goals are promising, but the implementation of inclusive education is a wicked problem intertwined with student, teacher, school community and wider societal factors that are difficult to manage and reconcile. Can the goals of inclusive education to be achieved or will inclusiveness of schools lead to a situation where the conditions for learning, school practices and teaching resources are further stretched and learning for all becomes more narrowly focused? This article examines inclusive education as a wicked problem and how this perspective can aid in managing the inclusive education challenge at hand and how systemic design approach and service design can tackle these challenges. There will be provided four practical challenges where the proposed approaches and tools can be especially useful.

Authors: Yilmaz Aysenur , Cakiroglu Erdinc
Published: August 2024

The objective of the present study was to gain a deeper understanding of how middle-grade mathematics teachers implement questions in both technology supported and non-technology supported classrooms. The investigation demonstrated that in-service mathematics teachers teaching in a technology supported classroom and in a non-technology supported classroom employed seven questioning channels: teacher-created static nature of drawings, teacher-created dynamic nature of drawings, student-created nature of drawings, student verbal discourse, a ready-to-use educational animation and textbook definition, analogies, and real-life examples. Commonly, both teachers used student-created static nature of drawings on worked examples, teacher-created static nature of drawings on worked examples, and mathematical procedures or concepts in their questioning, as well as students’ verbal discourse. The integration of technology introduced three additional questioning channels in technology supported classrooms: the teacher-created dynamic nature of drawings, a ready-to-use educational animation and textbook definition, and a real-life example. In conclusion, this study indicates that teacher questions can be influenced by the questioning channels employed, and technology might, to some extent, affect teachers’ variety of questioning channels. The results are discussed in the light of related literature.

The Ambiguity of Ornament in Architecture: Is It a Substantive or Surface Issue?
Authors: Akazaf Mohammed
Published: August 2024

This article deals with the ambiguity of ornament in architecture, the historical tensions that have characterized its use, and the factors that have led to its return today. In an architectural panorama marked today by the excessive use of parametric and kinetic patterns, many architects, historians and theorists are trying to find a theoretical basis justifying a tendency to an obsession with the patterns. The systematic link between what today adorns the envelopes of parametric architecture projects is made without reference to this history full of tensions. The Grasshopper and Dynamo plug-ins operate excessively in a total break with the thinking of William Morris, John Ruskin, Gottfried Semper, Alois Riegl or Alberti. Modernist architecture has made a break that has generated a collective amnesia about the essence and purpose of certain architectural practices, particularly those relating to ornament. The reflection, therefore, engages in a genealogical investigation to trace the intimate relationships that have linked ornament to architecture. It reveals how these positions of rejection and admission have been motivated more by the technical and technological implications and the capitalist desires that carry them than by artistic impulses.

Experiment was conducted to determine the effect of marination length of beef se’i with the added of evaporated rosela extract (Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn). The completly randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replication was applied in this experiment. Those treatments were P0 marination length of 12 hours without roselle extract; P1 marination length 6 hours with 5% roselle extract; P2 marination length 12 hours with 5% roselle extract, and P3 marination length 18 hours with 5% roselle extract. The parameters measured were fat content, fat oxidation and antioxidant activity. Data compilled were analyzed using variance analysis and Duncan’s further test. The result of analysis showed that the addition of roselle extract had significant effect (P<0.05) on antioxidant Activity but no significant effect (P>0.05) on fat content and fat oxidation. The use of 5% roselle extract with a marination time of 6 to 18 hours tends to reduce fat content, slow down the rate of fat oxidation and strengthen antioxidant activity, suggesting that roselle extract is likely to extend the shelf life of beef se’i. It was concluded that the addition of 5% evaporated roselle extract followed by marination for 6 to 18 hours is likely to result in a longer shelf life of sei.

A vacina contra o papilomavírus humano (HPV) foi criada no intuito de melhorar a prevenção contra o câncer de colo de útero, junto com o exame colpocitológico. Distribuída gratuitamente pelo Sistema Único de Saúde desde 2014, no Brasil, o Ministério da Saúde indica, atualmente, a vacinação em duas doses para meninas de 9 a 14 anos e meninos de 11 a 14 anos. A dificuldade de aceitação da vacina, junto ao seu relevante papel de prevenção das infecções pelo HPV, tornam o assunto um debate importante para possíveis intervenções que possam garantir melhora na divulgação de informação, tendo em vista a baixa adesão à vacinação. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a adesão percentual da população à vacina contra o HPV, na rede de saúde pública do município Sul Fluminense de Volta Redonda (VR), desde o ano de implantação até 2018, e compará-las a níveis estadual e nacional. Foram utilizados a quantidade de vacinados com as duas doses e o número estimado de habitantes de VR, do estado do Rio de Janeiro (RJ) e do Brasil (BR), dentro da faixa etária alvo, disponibilizados na plataforma DATASUS e em dados da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde. Posteriormente, foi calculada a taxa percentual de adesão feminina às duas doses, nas regiões citadas, para fins comparativos. No ano de 2014, houve 17,2% de adesão de meninas às duas doses em VR, 32,8% no RJ e 34% no BR. Esses índices decaíram nos três locais, de modo a chegar a 6,7%; 8,6% e 8,9% em 2018. Motivos apontados para essa queda incluem não entendimento dos pais dos adolescentes quanto à importância e à eficácia da vacina; resistência dos mesmos em abrir um diálogo sobre sexualidade com seus filhos; medo das supostas reações adversas e movimentos antivacina. A adesão mais baixa em VR sugere que a abrangência das campanhas pode não ter sido suficiente nas cidades do interior, quando comparada a regiões metropolitanas e capitais. Isso tudo levou a uma irrisória taxa de imunização efetiva em VR, o que é um resultado preocupante e que indica necessidade de intervenção. Conclui-se que a adesão ainda é insatisfatória, evidenciando a urgência de continuidade assídua da divulgação da relevância da vacina, seus benefícios e sua segurança, para que haja a prevenção efetiva do câncer de colo de útero e sua possível erradicação.
