Authors: Melado Kariele Coutinho , Pinto Antônio Henrique , Thiengo Edmar Reis
Published: November 2024

Este artigo apresenta uma Revisão Sistemática de Literatura, em âmbito nacional, que analisou o panorama de produções científicas, no período de 2008 a 2023, no que se refere à licenciatura em matemática com foco na disciplina de Educação Especial, na perspectiva inclusiva. Procedeu-se a um estudo qualitativo, seguindo a metodologia de Galvão e Ricarte, e as fases e etapas de seleção e análise de pesquisas em bases de dados por meio da planilha BUSCAd. Os resultados revelaram uma carência de trabalhos envolvendo a abordagem inclusiva na graduação em  matemática, apontando uma insuficiência na formação inicial no que se refere ao trabalho com pessoas com deficiência. Ademais, não se verificaram pesquisas que abordam a formação inicial em matemática, fundamentada em políticas públicas inclusivas, em concepções sócio-históricas e nas relações da sociedade com este público, o que evidencia a necessidade de investigação nesse campo.

Authors: Perovano Dalton Gean , Haracemiv Sônia Maria Chaves , Bais Dulce Huf
Published: November 2024

A pesquisa objetiva debater a formação do professor da disciplina de metodologia da pesquisa científica na educação, a maneira como articula os conhecimentos e saberes, as estratégias pedagógicas, a discussão de políticas públicas da pesquisa na educação superior e a formação do professor. O estudo é caracterizado como descritivo e adota o enfoque qualitativo com o procedimento de revisão de literatura. Demonstrou a escassez de discussões e pesquisas sobre a formação do professor que atua na educação superior no ensino da metodologia da pesquisa na educação. Observa-se a escalada quantitativa da produção acadêmica científica, na maioria dos casos resultantes de investigações com baixo rigor e critérios científicos. Os resultados de levantamentos nacionais demonstram que a qualidade da pesquisa nas universidades depende de uma base material histórica de construção conceitual. Surge a necessidade de rever as concepções do ensino da metodologia da pesquisa. A docência da metodologia de pesquisa científica exige o diálogo com a metodologia do ensino, ou seja, o método de ensinar e o método de aprender a pesquisar, com dialogicidade entre si.

Authors: Melado Kariele Coutinho , Ramos Marinete dos Reis
Published: November 2024

O presente estudo abordou os processos escolares inclusivos no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Espírito Santo (IFES), campus Cariacica. Em decorrência do aumento expressivo do ingresso de discentes público da Educação Especial Inclusiva, observou-se questionamentos e preocupações por parte dos docentes, em relação ao desenvolvimento social e cognitivo dos estudantes. A abordagem metodológica foi qualitativa e se estruturou por meio do estudo documental, com ênfase nas orientações prescritas na Resolução do Conselho Superior n°55/2017 IFES, e nas ações propostas pelo Núcleo de Atendimento às Pessoas com Necessidades Educacionais Específicas (NAPNE) apoiadas no Trabalho Colaborativo. Foram estabelecidas duas categorias de análise, a gestão pautada na educação inclusiva além da identificação e contenção de barreiras para a promoção de acessibilidade curricular, o que mobilizou o trabalho colaborativo entre os membros do NAPNE envolvendo as práticas de gestão dos processos inclusivos. Conclui-se que o NAPNE é um agente articulador do trabalho colaborativo nos Institutos Federais, o que denota a necessidade do fortalecimento do núcleo para a continuidade das ações inclusivas pois ao desenvolver novas estratégias confirmaram-se: o êxito do trabalho realizado em parceria entre o professor regente e a equipe responsável pelo atendimento educacional especializado. O Trabalho Colaborativo apresenta um novo movimento, pois envolve vários setores e profissionais; essa nova dinâmica aprimora as práticas pedagógicas favorecendo a inclusão.

Authors: Zhang Tingting , Chu Jing , Wang Chenxi
Published: November 2024

Experimental teaching is an important part of the higher education work. With the improvement of higher education requirements, laboratory teaching has gradually developed from the traditional teacher-to-student single teaching method to a diversified and open model. The student-centered experimental teaching can make students play a subjective initiative, more creative, and help to cultivate students' lifelong learning habits. The student-centered innovative experimental teaching model was discussed in this paper. And the course of SCM principle and application has been taken as an example to explore and construct this model. Then experimental teaching form, experimental teaching content, experimental teaching process and the final assessment standard under this model was expounded here. According to the teaching form, both partial and full permissions can be opened to students. In terms of teaching content, it is necessary to investigate the experimental teaching content and focus on students in different grades. In terms of assessment, the specific implementation process of the teaching model was given, and the assessment scoring method dedicated to innovative practice teaching was used in the assessment. The whole process demonstrates the effectiveness and popularization of the innovative student-centered experimental teaching model.

Authors: Li Yanping , Yang Qingjun , Lai Zhiyun , Qian Yu
Published: November 2024

We collected short-duration heavy precipitation events around weather radar since 2020 and get radar base data of these events. Then, we extracted radar products like Composite Reflectivity (CR), echo top height (ET) and Vertically Integrated Liquid Water (VIL) from radar base data after quality control as the input of dataset, and merge the surface precipitation of 6 minutes with background field using multi-grid variation to generate precipitation label by 6 minutes. Thus, we constructed two datasets artificial intelligence application QpefQH for short-duration heavy precipitation. QpefQH dataset has a scale of more than 15,000 images available for radar echo extrapolation and quantitative precipitation estimation tasks based on deep learning. QpefQH dataset also includes multi-source data such as satellite, numerical model, sounding, lightning, land surface temperature, pressure, wind and other observation data. QpefQH can be shared as a benchmark dataset for artificial intelligence research on short-duration heavy precipitation in Qinghai Province.
Research on CT System Image based on Back Projection Reconstruction Model
Authors: Yu Ruofeng , Wu Yating , Yu Ruoyu
Published: November 2024

CT technology has been widely used in clinical medicine, industrial engineering and other fields in contemporary society. Since the traditional back projection reconstruction algorithm will introduce star artifacts, we decide to use a parallel beam filtered back projection reconstruction model based on Radon changes and R-L filters. Since the rotation center of the system does not coincide with the geometric center, the data will be missing when using Radon transformation, so we carry out "edging" processing on the square tray. After processing the data to remove the gain (where the gain coefficient is 2.0033) and removing the "edge" at the end of the filtering, we reconstructed the detected object and obtained the absorption rates of the ten points required by the problem as follows :0.0126, 2.2902, 5.9159, 0.0163, 0.0823, 3.1336, 6.0333, 0.0000, 7.7184, 0.0861.

Authors: Chen Siyi
Published: November 2024

At a time of rapid social and economic transformation, the Bangbang, a grassroots group of people who rely on a bamboo stick and two nylon ropes to make a living in Chongqing, are easily pushed to the margins of the society, and the occupation of bangbang has gradually become a marginalized occupation. Using participatory observation and face-to-face interviews as research methods, this paper goes into the low-level flexible employment group of Bangbang to understand their occupational operation, relationship network and living conditions, so as to show the real life and mood of Bangbang, and to look at the changes in their occupational situation from their standpoint.

Fusion of Love and Freedom: Pet Jewellery Designs
Authors: Wang Yifan
Published: November 2024

With the deepening of economic globalisation, people's living standards have risen significantly. Driven by new lifestyles and development trends, more and more people choose pets as important companions in their lives. The concept of jewellery design in this paper originates from jewellery designers' thoughts on the relationship between people, pets and the environment, and takes the close relationship between contemporary people and pets as the starting point for an in-depth discussion on the association and communion between people, pets and the environment. Taking the phenomenon of snails being kept by some people as a starting point for research, this paper explores the problems faced by this species in terms of limited living space and freedom due to its high reproductive capacity. The five Snail Cat jewellery collections are inspired by the concepts of "freedom of pets" and "love and freedom", and are based on documentary research and explorations with artists. The five pieces of jewellery in the Snail Cat collection reflect the jewellery designer's core philosophy of replacing the companionship of a pet with the value of freedom, compensating for the companionship of an animal to a human being through the wearing of jewellery, and raising awareness of the importance of returning the freedom of a pet.
Capturing landscape:	phenomenological forays through art, atmospheres,	and	everyday life
Authors: Rauh Andreas
Published: November 2024

This essay phenomenologically probes into the conceptual terrain encapsulating the notion of ‘landscape’. Drawing upon instances of artistic representations of landscapes, diverse facets of both actual and imaginary landscapes are delineated, encompassing cultural, chromatic, urban, and personal landscapes. It becomes evident that the apprehension of landscapes is intricately linked to the felt-bodily presence experienced within a specific locus. Thus, phenomenological and artistic methods based on the concept of atmosphere will become interesting for researching landscape. This is elucidated through empirical research approaches such as strollology, Aisthetic Fieldwork, and artistic research. The article thus underscores the relevance of employing these methodologies in the scholarly investigation of landscapes, shedding light on their potential to unveil nuanced dimensions of human engagement with the environment.
The Click and Go Decision Tool
Authors: Asensio Mireia , Young Clive , Little Ross , Cuttle Mary
Published: November 2024

The increasing development of digital rich resources promises and exciting opportunity to transform video and audio media into mainstream networked learning. The use of visual and audio literacies can inspire us to express ideas not readily available in written form, and in this way, it can enable different ways of representation and access to a wider and more dispersed student population. This paper will describe the concept of ‘visual literacy’ and the notion of ‘inclusive’ technology. Visually rich resources might perhaps bring more access, control and choice to networked learning events. However this apparently inclusive technology might be perceived as a barrier to ensure accessibility for users who have sensory disabilities. The JISC Click and Go: Access for All project (2003) has explored, through the use of inquiry groups and questionnaires, practitioners’ perceptions, understandings and experiences around the area of accessible digital video and audio. This paper explores current practice and introduces a decision tool intended to provide a practical route to clarify intentions and requirements through the use of questions and possible answers.
Networked Learning and Knowledge Management
Authors: Baumeister Hans-Peter
Published: November 2024

Networked/Online or e-learning is a multi-dimensional phenomenon which needs to be understood not only in intrinsic terms but as it relates to the societal environment within which it is applied. There are various ways of defining the term but, for the purposes of this paper, Rosenberg's three-fold categorization has been adopted:

online Learning is networked, which makes it capable of instant updating, storage/retrieval; distribution and sharing of instruction or information, can also follow instantly.
It is delivered to the end-user via a computer using standard Internet technology. It can be arranged as a stand-alone or hybrid solution (embedded in a traditional context).
It focuses on the broadest view of learning – learning solutions that go beyond the traditional paradigms of training (Rosenberg, 2001).

Hence it is difficult to separate online learning (which applies more the technical background as the core of the definition) from networked learning (which is implicitly covered by the above definition) or from technology enhanced learning a term now used by the European Commission (which starts from the assumption of "blended learning" approaches). Bearing in mind Rosenberg’s definition, for the purposes of this paper, the term networked learning is also used as a synonym for online and/or e-learning.
Exploring Social Networks to Understand the Diffusion of Networked Learning in a Campus-Based University
Authors: Hanson Janet
Published: November 2024

This paper seeks to explain the nature of the diffusion of networked learning within a campus-based university. It explores the concerns held by university lecturers about greater use of networked learning and identifies the key individuals who influence their attitudes. These are mainly close colleagues within their academic department. It then proposes directions for further investigation into strategies that might encourage and sustain further innovation within the university. The research is being undertaken within an action inquiry approach where an important consideration for the insider researcher is the influence of her position on the research process.

Secondly, it will present observations from 12 explorative sessions undertaken while building and exploring social interaction with avatars in a 3D Agora world. These observations are summarized in three scenarios: “Voyage of discovery”, “Playful meeting” and “Purposeful meeting” and in a conclusion suggesting a “reflective design” approach. Research has been carried out in a special interest group (Agora SIG 5) on “Knowledge sharing across knowledge cultures” in the EU project EQUEL.
The Keys to Usability in e-Learning Websites
Authors: Kukulska-Hulme Agnes , Shield Lesley
Published: November 2024

Technical knowledge is insufficient when designing and testing websites for e-learning. At the Open University, usability has been at the heart of a project aimed at enabling academic course developers to participate on an equal footing with other professionals in addressing website usability. Our investigations have included interviews with key staff, a review of usability literature, case studies, usability tools, workshops, an investigation of student and tutor experiences, and an analysis of student ratings for websites. We outline our concept of ‘pedagogical usability’, a set of key cosiderations for improving the experience of web-based learning.
Developmental Processes in Networked Learning
Authors: Levy Philippa
Published: November 2024

This paper reports some of the findings of practice-based, case study evaluation research that examined participants’ experiences of a networked learning approach to professional development. The research revealed networked learners’ experiences of four broad, interconnected developmental processes - orientation, socialisation, communication and organization - and the impact of these on the nature and quality of engagement with the learning environment and tasks. The paper focuses on experiences of orientation, concluding by highlighting some practical evaluation implications arising out of this research, and by suggesting that it points to more general considerations for networked learning design and facilitation.
Designing to Promote Improved Online Educational Argumentation
Authors: McAlister Simon , Ravenscroft Andrew , Scanlon Eileen
Published: November 2024

Educational dialogue can be used to support learners in the development of reasoning, critical thinking, and argumentation. In this paper we report on the evaluation of an educational design for online peer discussion that guides student dialogue towards more academic interactions and facilitates extended argument. This design includes a mediating interface for synchronous discussion, implemented for this research, which incorporates a dialogue game approach to discussion, using sentence openers to structure interactions. The study employed a broader set of online educational activities – a designed local context, which aims to motivate higher education students to argue in a collaborative working setting. The evaluation compares the impact of using structured interactions with the use of a simple interface without structured interaction. The findings suggest an improved, deeper argumentation process in the structured environment.
Structuring and Sharing Information Resources to Support Concept Development and Design Learning
Authors: Grierson Hilary , Nicol David , Littlejohn Allison , Wodehouse Andrew
Published: November 2024

This study investigates how a shared workspace and digital repository might help student teams share information and resources while learning to design. An open-source groupware product called TikiWiki was configured so that teams could structure their design resources using wiki pages (like web pages) and share them using two search strategies – browsing the wiki pages or using keywords. The results showed that the structuring of information supported learning and that teams preferred to search the wiki structures rather than use keywords. The discussion focuses on students’ search strategies and ways that metadata that might improve resource sharing across teams.
Students Designing ICT Support for Collaborative Learning in Practice
Authors: Nyvang Tom , Tolsby Haakon
Published: November 2024

The aim of this paper is to present an understanding of student practice and needs in relation to ICT-based support for Problem Oriented Project Pedagogy (POPP). The paper combines a theoretical understanding of POPP and results from a case study. An important characteristic of the students in the case study is that they construct and reconstruct a learning environment of their own choice without intervention from other parties. The paper identifies coordination of activities, coordination of knowledge construction and creation of joint images of experiences as key activities that may very well be supported by ICT. It is also clear from the case study that students demand a flexible tool that can be altered as the project progresses and needs emerge.

Learning About e-Learning – The eUniversity Experience
Authors: Wilson Casey McQuinn
Published: November 2024

This paper presents the experiences to date of an ‘e-learning’ development project which aimed to successfully develop, deliver and support ‘e-materials’ for a masters level degree course in Information Technology and Management 100% online to a world wide community. The e-learning development project was established in early 2002 and is now at the stage that the majority of the e-materials have been developed and delivery of the MSc course is underway. This paper critically evaluates the e-learning development experience to date. Upon reflection and analysis of the development process preliminary lessons have been drawn and are discussed here. Through this discussion comment can be made about developing e-learning materials in Higher Education.
Symposium 3: Internationalising the Curriculum: a Dubious Concept, Variously Interpreted – What is Going On in the UK and Europe?
Authors: Bell Frances
Published: November 2024

We offer this symposium based on a number of perceptions. Firstly, the conception of internationalisation represented by the strong tradition of staff and student exchanges is gradually giving way to a new and much broader and diversified notion of internationalisation in Higher Education (HE). Secondly, the trend towards rising numbers of international students in UK HE is likely to continue, further raising the profile of issues surrounding cultural diversity and intercultural learning within the sector. Thirdly, across Europe a paradigm shift away from diversity towards convergence and structural harmonisation is being fuelled by the continuing ‘Bologna process’.
Symposium 3: International Mission Impossible?
Authors: Caruana Viv
Published: November 2024

Whilst Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) increasingly define their competitive and developmental strategies in terms of an ‘international mission’ the concept, in practical terms remains ill-defined. Particular uncertainty surrounds the potential of information and communication technology (ICT) in supporting different conceptions of, and strategies for internationalization. The University of Salford’s (UoS) international mission provides a starting point for considering the rationales underpinning internationalization and the range of approaches which may be deployed in embedding an international dimension in the curriculum. The paper goes on to gauge the ways in which institutions are aware of and act upon internationalization in a strategic way; to investigate the dominant approaches to internationalization and suggest how ITC may be deployed as part of an internationalized learning, teaching and assessment strategy.
Symposium 3: Trans-National Online Activities For Students – A Pragmatic Approach
Authors: Bell Frances , Whatley Janice , Zakrzewska Danuta
Published: November 2024

E-learning has opened up additional opportunities for internationalising the curriculum in Higher Education, an endeavour that has many dimensions, including those of culture and pedagogy. Graduates’ need to operate effectively in multi-cultural societies and global business environments is relevant to many disciplines, and to campus-based as well as distance learning students. We examine the drivers for internationalising the curriculum within the context of the growth of the Internet and the increasingly global market for Higher Education. We present a pedagogical model and a set of guidelines that can be used to design trans-national online student collaboration, and discuss how these can be operationalised in a selection of scenarios for internationalisation of the curriculum. Lastly we encourage colleagues at Institutions across Europe to build on our work by adapting and refining our model and guidelines, and integrating activity-based approaches with broader strategies for internationalisation of the curriculum.
Symposium 4: Using Action-Oriented Or Participatory Research Methods For Research On Networked Learning
Authors: Steeples Christine
Published: November 2024

This paper explores action-oriented or participatory research in the field of networked learning. A small study was conducted into ways of supporting distributed communities of practitioners in their ongoing professional development, through the creation and use of stored multimedia artifacts within networked learning environments A user-centred, exploratory and participatory research approach was adopted. The paper suggests why such an approach was deemed appropriate for this kind of study: allowing the researcher to build theoretical constructs grounded in qualitative data gathered from real practitioners; but also informed by the researcher’s own personal experiences and self-reflective observations.
Symposium 5: Constellations of Collaboration
Authors: Courtney Kathy
Published: November 2024

This paper describes and compares two developmental projects at Coventry University through stories told by individuals who were involved in the projects or had a close interest in them. Through these stories, and in some cases through interviews, the author seeks to gain a ‘composite’ picture of these developments and an understanding of how they interface with and relate to the University as a whole. Both projects can be regarded as having been highly successful. However, only one of them succeeded in producing a ‘ripple’ effect of new projects and further developments, involving other groups of staff. The paper seeks to identify some of the reasons which account for these differences in bringing about effective institutional change.
Symposium 6: E-tutoring “Contextualised Tutors’ Roles and Tutors’ Training”
Authors: Denis Brigitte
Published: November 2024

After a short introduction to the theme of this symposium on contextualised tutors’ roles and tutors’ training, we propose three papers. The first one deals with the definition of the e-tutor’s roles and competencies, the second illustrates the influence of the context and tutor roles in the tutor’s choice of media, and the third one describes three case studies of tutors training sessions.
Symposium 6: Which Media When, and Why?
Authors: McAteer Erica , Ruffell Ian , Williamson Shanti , Muirhead Alison
Published: November 2024

The influence of educational context within tutor’s roles is illustrated through three case examples from a traditional, campus-based, higher education institution. Different subject disciplines, different student levels, different learning objectives and different categories of learner activity were supported, utilising currently available communication resources. Lecturers recorded learning support interventions during key periods within a single module block or unit within the courses for which they had tutorial responsibility. They extended their log sheets to include self-report commentaries and these, together with intervention records and student feedback through a set of measures , provide data to inform extension of this self-monitoring system to the wider HE and FE community, to better inform resource provision practice.
Symposium 7: The Literacies of Online Learning
Authors: Goodfellow Robin
Published: November 2024

This paper makes the case for a ‘social literacies’ approach to the analysis of interaction in virtual learning communities. It proposes a research agenda that will focus on questions of empowerment, marginalisation and exclusion, and the role of wider institutional and social practices in shaping the experience of participants in online learning environments. Some of the premises of the New Literacy studies are discussed, in the context of student writing and textual practices in online, global and multicultural learning environments. It is argued that there is a need for research into the way participants construct their own understanding of important social relations in these textual environments, and for the investigation of issues which contribute to the social shaping of education in the virtual domain. Such issues include: the maintenance of institutional and intellectual legitimacy through systems of assessment and the awarding of credit, the playing out of cultural difference amongst heterogeneous populations, and the nature of individual strategies of resistance to socialisation into virtual learning communities. Some research on online learning interactions is reviewed, and it is argued that key questions remain unexplored, about the nature of the communication practices developed by individuals and groups, and their role in constructing the experience of conflict for participants. A case is made for a linguistic-ethnographic approach to address the fact that social context in virtual communities is invisible and has to be inferred from linguistic evidence. An agenda of comparative studies is proposed, where the background of wider social literacy practice shared by participants in diverse online learning communities, is related to the different, more localised, practices of the communities themselves. Methods associated with this agenda are discussed, and a call is made for researchers interested in social literacies in virtual learning communities to collaborate on building a database of relevant evidence.
Symposium 7: Online Learning Community Research - Some Influences of Theory on Methods
Authors: Harris Rachel , Muirhead Alison
Published: November 2024

This paper presents different perspectives on research in the field of online learning communities. To highlight the range of theoretical backgrounds and frameworks that are influencing research in this area, a brief outline is given of investigations into social networks and bonding; affordances of online communities; identity and presence; and community ‘building’. This serves to emphasise the diversity of approaches being applied, and the value of drawing from the theory of a wide range of disciplines. Combined with the difficulties of even attempting to compare methodologies or results across studies in this area, the need for some form of common ground is very clear.
Symposium 8: Changing Pedagogy
Authors: Thornton Mary , Jefferies Amanda , Jones Indra , Alltree Jon , Leinonen Eeva
Published: November 2024

The University of Hertfordshire’s Managed Learning Environment initiative, known as StudyNet, was developed in-house. Throughout the development, the enhancement of learning and teaching quality has remained a central tenet. However, take up has been extremely variable. This research, through questionnaire survey, sought to assess the extent of StudyNet embeddedness, the uses to which it is put and its impact on staff working practices and pedagogy. Analysis suggests that money, time and workload affect staff access and use. As a communication and information distribution resource it is well used but its impact on the enhancement of learning and teaching is, so far, fairly limited although some examples of good practice were identified.
Symposium 11: The Learner's Experience of a Networked Learning Knowledge Community Design
Authors: Hodgson Vivien , Watland Philip
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the study that will be reported in this paper is to investigate the learning experiences in a Masters degree program whose design is based on a ‘knowledge community’ pedagogical perspective. The MA is supported by a network learning environment that includes several different areas and discussion forums intended to encourage ‘dialogical learning’. The study aims to compare and contrast the learners’ experiences with the pedagogical intentions of the program design.
The context for the study is a Lancaster University’s MA in Management Learning and Leadership (MAMLL) programme. This is a two-year programme directed towards people in, or entering, leadership and/or management development roles. The programme attracts a diverse range of participants from public, private and voluntary organisations. A principle concept of the program is that learners help create the learning environment, a knowledge community, by building their own representations of management learning using the capabilities of on-line technologies to enable dialogical learning (Hodgson and Zenios, 2003). In the study, it is the learner’s experience of the MAMLL networked learning environment that is of interest.
Symposium 12: A Pattern Approach to Person-Centered e-Learning Based on Theory-Guided Action Research
Authors: Derntl Michael , Motschnig-Pitrik Renate
Published: November 2024

Action research is gaining recognition as a methodology accompanying the introduction of technology into organizations and learning. Yet, the results of action research often remain restricted to an organization’s context. In order to allow for a generalization and broader recognition of results, we abstract patterns of teaching/learning activities, organize them in a reusable, conceptual framework, and complement them with useful parameters as well as results from their application. Our proceeding is guided by the Person-Centered Approach that we adopt for blended learning and project work. This paper describes the pattern repository on PCeL (Person-Centered e-Learning) as the central structure within our action research framework and discusses means of generalizing and objectifying our findings.
Nonunion in Foot and Ankle Arthrodesis Surgery: Review of Risk Factors, Identification of High-risk Patients, and a Guide to Perioperative Testing and Optimization
Authors: Greene Helena , Dodd Andrew , Le Ian , LaMothe Jeremy
Published: November 2024

Foot and ankle arthrodesis surgery is often associated with high rates of nonunion ranging from 8% to 40%. This complication can result in individual patient burden and system burden in the management of these complex patients. Biologic factors contribute greatly to the development of a nonunion, including patient-related modifiable risk factors, metabolic and endocrine factors, systemic disease, previous surgeries, medications, weight loss treatments, and posttraumatic and postsurgical factors. Despite the high nonunion rate, there is a lack of high-level evidence in the identification of high-risk patients, strategies to minimize nonunion, and the management of patients with nonunion. An accepted standard of practice has not been established. This review aims to provide foot and ankle surgeons with (1) a comprehensive review of risk factors for nonunion, (2) a tool to identify high-risk patients using a preoperative patient questionnaire, (3) a clinical practice guide to preoperative and intraoperative testing that aims to improve preoperative counselling and patient optimization, and (4) perioperative strategies to minimize nonunion risk. With the above framework, our goal is to minimize nonunion risk in patients undergoing foot and ankle arthrodesis surgery to improve patient care and outcomes.

Authors: Yelsi Nengsi Fitri , Hidayati Abna , Yusri Meldi Ade Kurnia , Masnur Alkadri
Published: November 2024

The development of this multimedia learning is motivated by the problem of learning, where teachers only use printed books as the main learning media in the classroom. Students tend to feel bored and less interested in following lessons using printed books that only contain text and images. This research aims to produce valid and practical multimedia learning products that can be used in the learning process. The type of research used is research and development, also known as Research and Development (R&D). The development model used is the 4D model, which consists of four main stages: define, design, development, and disseminate. The product validity test was conducted by 4 validators, namely 2 material validators and 2 media validators. The product trial was conducted on 20 eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 5 Linggo Sari Baganti with the aim of determining the practicality of the developed product. The results of the material validation by 2 material validators obtained an average score of 4.93 with the category "very valid."

Do College Students At Majmaah University Meet the Weekly Recommended Physical Activity Guidelines? Cross-Sectional Analyses
Authors: Alrashdi Naif
Published: November 2024

Background and Aims:
Regular engagement in physical activity (PA) has been known to associate with improved health and quality of life measures. Prior research reported that only 46% of Saudi college students meet the weekly recommended PA volumes. However, these prior studies lack using standardized PA assessment methods, and therefore, this study examined PA levels and calculated the proportions meeting the weekly PA guidelines among college students currently enrolled in Majmaah university, Saudi Arabia.

Methods:
Currently enrolled college students at Majmaah university were included. PA levels was evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form. This questionnaire contains 7-item questions regarding the weekly time spent in vigorous-to-moderate PA (MVPA), walking, and sitting behavior. Additionally, proportions meeting the weekly recommended PA was calculated.

Results:
One hundred and fifty-eight college students were enrolled (41.2% males, M age= 23.32 ± 4.5 years, and M body mass index (BMI)= 24.1±5.0 kg/m²). Male college students spent more time in MVPA (p=0.001, d=0.50) and met the weekly recommended PA cutoffs at a higher proportion compared to female college students (p=0.023). There were no other significant differences in PA levels between male and female college students (all p values >0.05).

Conclusions:
Male college students spent more time in higher activity intensity and met the weekly recommended activity cutoffs at a higher proportion than female students at Majmaah University. Future research should examine factors associated with increased activity levels such as socioeconomic status and/or physical or mental status among college students.

Published: November 2024

Background and Aims:
Chronic migraine imposes a considerable economic burden and is closely linked to other health conditions, Early detection of migraine-associated factors allows for timely interventions, impacting prevention, treatment, and prognosis.

Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study at King Fahad Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, included 82 chronic migraine patients receiving botulinum toxin injections. This study explores the correlation between sleep quality and chronic migraine severity, investigates the relationship between vitamin D levels and migraines, and identifies predictors of poor sleep quality in the studied patient population.

Results:
Our patient cohort, aged 21 to 63, is predominantly female (87.8%), with 50% having a university education. Surprisingly, less than 10% maintained adequate vitamin D levels. Nearly two-thirds, especially among the younger age group, those with chronic diseases, and smokers, faced moderate to severe disability due to migraines. Additionally, over half of the patients, particularly in the older age group, females, and those with lower education levels, experienced poor sleep quality, with a higher likelihood linked to lower vitamin D levels and more severe migraine scores.

Conclusions:
These results underscore the significance of early detection in migraines, facilitating timely interventions for prevention, treatment, and prognosis. The complex interaction of sleep quality, migraine severity, and vitamin D levels highlights the necessity for holistic approaches to improve the well-being of individuals dealing with chronic migraines.
