Athletic Trainers’ Perceptions of the Structure and Barriers to Online Continuing Education Clinical Documentation Modules
Authors: Nottingham Sara L. , Kasamatsu Tricia M. , Cavallario Julie M. , Bacon Cailee E. Welch
Published: July 2024

Context

Athletic trainers (ATs) appreciate the accessibility of web-based continuing education (CE) opportunities. ATs describe needing more CE opportunities related to clinical documentation, but the effectiveness of CE in this content area has not been studied.

Objective

Obtain ATs’ perceptions of their experiences accessing web-based CE specific to clinical documentation.

Design

Qualitative study.

Setting

Web-based audio interviews.

Patients or Other Participants

Twenty-nine ATs, averaging 36.2 ± 9.0 years of age, including 16 women and 13 men who represented 8 different clinical practice settings.

Data Collection and Analysis

Participants previously completed 1 of 2 web-based CE modules specific to clinical documentation, a personalized learning pathway (PLP) or passive reading list (PAS). After completing the modules, 1 investigator interviewed each participant regarding their experiences accessing and completing the modules. Following the Consensual Qualitative Research approach, 4 investigators (3 primary coders and 1 internal auditor) inductively analyzed the interview transcripts. We completed 5 rounds of consensus coding and finalized themes and supporting categories.

Results

We identified 2 themes: (1) structure and (2) barriers to completing the modules. Although both groups were satisfied with the content of the modules, PLP participants were more satisfied with the structure and experience of accessing the resources than the PAS participants. PLP participants enjoyed the engagement of the variety of resources included, whereas PAS participants inconsistently accessed reading materials based on personal preference. Both groups described time as a barrier to completing the modules, and some participants experienced technology barriers.

Conclusions

ATs value web-based CE opportunities that compile information related to a topic. Learners find a variety of learning formats, including videos, case studies, knowledge checks, and reflection prompts, to be more engaging than only reading materials. Although time continues to be a barrier to completing CE, offering accessible and engaging learning opportunities improves satisfaction with completing CE.

Authors: Song Huaxiang , Li Yafang , Li Xiaowen , Zhang Yuxuan , Zhu Yangyan , Zhou Yong
Published: July 2024

The classification of Remote Sensing Images (RSIs) poses a significant challenge due to the presence of clustered ground objects and noisy backgrounds. While many approaches rely on scaling models to enhance accuracy, the deployment of RSI classifiers often requires substantial computational and storage resources, thus necessitating the use of lightweight algorithms. In this paper, we present an efficient and robust knowledge transfer network named ERKT-Net, which is designed to provide a lightweight yet accurate Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier. This method utilizes innovative yet simple concepts to better accommodate the inherent nature of RSIs, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and robustness of traditional Knowledge Distillation (KD) techniques developed on ImageNet-1K. We evaluated ERKT-Net on three benchmark RSI datasets and found that it demonstrated superior accuracy and a very compact volume compared to 40 other advanced methods published between 2020 and 2023. On the most challenging NWPU45 dataset, ERKT-Net outperformed other KD-based methods with a maximum Overall Accuracy (OA) value of 22.4%. Using the same criterion, it also surpassed the first-ranked multi-model method with a minimum OA value of 0.7 but presented at least an 82% reduction in parameters. Furthermore, ablation experiments indicated that our training approach has significantly improved the efficiency and robustness of classic DA techniques. Notably, it can reduce the time expenditure in the distillation phase by at least 80%, with a slight sacrifice in accuracy. This study confirmed that a logit-based KD technique can be more efficient and effective in developing lightweight yet accurate classifiers, especially when the method is tailored to the inherent characteristics of RSIs.
Reimagining Accessibility: Leveraging Deep Learning in Smartphone Applications to Assist Visually Impaired People Indoor Object Distance Estimation
Authors: Saleem Talal , Sivakumar V
Published: July 2024

Every other aspect of life is organized around the sight. A person with vision impairment suffers severely from independent mobility and quality of life. The proposed framework combines mobile deep learning with distance estimation algorithms to detect and classify indoor objects with estimated distance in real-time during indoor navigation. The user, wearing the device with a lanyard or holding it in a way that positions the camera forward, identifies in real-time surroundings indoor objects with estimated distance and voice commentary. Moreover, the mobile framework provides an estimated distance to the obstacles and suggests a safe navigational path through voice-guided feedback. By harnessing the power of deep learning in a mobile setting, this framework aims to improve the independence of visually impaired individuals by facilitating them a higher degree of independence in indoor navigation.  This study's proposed mobile object detection and distance estimation framework achieved 99.75% accuracy.  This research contributes by leveraging mobile deep learning with identifying objects in real-time, classification and distance estimation, a state-of-the-art approach to use the latest technologies to enhance indoor mobility challenges faced by visually impaired people.
Energy Aware On-Demand Routing Protocol Scheme of DSR Protocol (EAORP)
Authors: Sunni Tarus Hatem , Partharathy Rajamohan
Published: July 2024

Recently, there has been a need for connectivity in places with no infrastructure. In order to meet this need, new technology known as MANET is used to fulfil the market demand. Despite the many benefits that MANET will provide, a number of shortcomings still need to be further studied, especially the energy consumption problems, that stand in the way of not allowing widespread acceptance of this technology. Because wireless devices use batteries with a finite amount of power, energy efficiency in these networks becomes a concern. In this paper, we present a design of energy aware on-demand routing protocol (EAORP), a new energy efficient algorithm that aims to overcome the shortcomings of DSR and provide a scalable traffic based and energy aware routing algorithm which aims to address energy issues in DSR by making it more aware and sensitive to nodes' energy, traffic loads, and transmission power management.
Provision for Energy: A Resource Allocation Problem in Federated Learning for Edge Systems
Authors: Liu Mingyue , Rajamanickam Leelavathi , Parthasarathy Rajamohan
Published: July 2024

The article explores an energy-efficient method for allocating transmission and computation resources for federated learning (FL) on wireless communication networks.  The model being considered involves each user training a local FL model using their limited local computing resources and the data they have collected.   These local models are then transmitted to a base station, where they are aggregated and broadcast back to all users.  The level of accuracy in learning, as well as computation and communication latency, are determined by the exchange of models between users and the base station.  Throughout the FL process, energy consumption for both local computation and transmission must be taken into account.   Given the limited energy resources of wireless users, the communication problem is formulated as an optimization problem with the goal of minimizing overall system energy consumption while meeting a latency requirement. To address this problem, we propose an iterative algorithm that takes into account factors such as bandwidth, power, and computational resources.  Results from numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can reduce energy consumption compared to traditional FL methods up to 51% reduction.

Published: July 2024

Background: The objective of this study was to identify how - and to what extent - overall symptom severity (OSS) score reflects individual chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) symptoms and whether it can be measured using alternatives to the standard visual analog scale (VAS). Methods: CRS patients from four sites across three continents rated their OSS scores, severities of nasal obstruction, nasal drainage, decreased sense of smell, facial pain/pressure and sleep disturbance using a standard VAS, VAS with labeled tick marks at every 1 centimeter, and by writing down their OSS on a scale of 0 - 100 (which was divided by 10), all of which lead to severity scores ranging from 0 - 10 in 0.1 intervals. Quality of life was measured using the SNOT-22 and EQ-5D VAS. Results: In 311 CRS patients, OSS score was significantly correlated with SNOT-22 and EQ-5D VAS. OSS score was most greatly associated with the mean of all individual symptom severity scores. From individual CRS symptoms, OSS was most greatly associated with nasal obstruction followed by nasal drainage and facial pain/pressure severities. These results held true for participants with and without nasal polyps. Measurement of OSS and individual symptom severity scores using a standard VAS, tick-marked VAS, and write-in option had near-perfect consistency. Conclusions: We demonstrate for the first time that OSS largely reflects the mean of individual CRS symptom severities, although OSS is=== most weighted by nasal obstruction severity. OSS and individual symptom severity scores can be measured using a standard VAS, tick-marked VAS or write-in prompt with near-perfect consistency.
Lord Jim: Between Shame and Guilt
Authors: Pacukiewicz Marek
Published: July 2024

Trying to classify the cultural patterns of behaviour, modern anthropology offers the distinction between “shame cultures” (which rely on external sanctions for good behaviour) and “guilt cultures” (which internalize the conviction of sin). Correspondingly, shame and guilt create specific ethos and therefore could be treated as factors indicating cultural meaning and function of the notion of honour in different cultural contexts. The article is an attempt to analyse the role of guilt and shame phenomena in the creation of Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim.

Authors: Akhila P Shibu  , Nagaraj Naik M
Published: July 2024

The critical relationship between perceived stress and job satisfaction, acknowledging their profound impact on individual well-being and organizational outcomes is a very well-known association. The dynamics of this relationship is studied and identifies specific factors of job satisfaction influenced by perceived stress. Employing a quantitative research design, data was collected from 123 full-time employees using standardized instruments measuring perceived stress and job satisfaction. Correlational and regression analyses were conducted to scrutinize the extent and nature of the relationship. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between perceived stress and job satisfaction (R² = 0.107, p < 0.001), indicating that as perceived stress increases, job satisfaction proportionally declines. Moreover, regression analysis highlighted the specific impact of perceived stress on the "Nature of Work" component of job satisfaction (β = - 0.217, p = 0.039). While the correlation is established, the moderate strength underscores the presence of potential moderating factors. This research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of workplace well-being, offering insights for tailored interventions to foster healthier work environments and ultimately benefit individuals and organizations alike.

Published: July 2024

Esta revisión describe el uso de las redes sociales en la educación superior, haciendo hincapié en las prácticas y roles docentes, quienes las perciben como un elemento distractorio y adictivo en contraposición a la percepción del alumnado. Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de literatura (2018-2023), siguiendo el protocolo PRISMA dónde se analizaron 71 artículos extraídos de las bases de datos Wos y Scopus para dar respuesta a cuatro preguntas de investigación generales. Las evidencias muestran la importancia de un rol activo en el docente guiando metodologías emergentes durante el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, en el cual aparecen consecuencias que los autores califican como positivas y negativas en función de tres factores: redes sociales, estudiantes y docentes. Las redes sociales se asocian a los resultados del aprendizaje, relacionando elementos como el uso excesivo a unos malos resultados y adicción, por el contrario, un uso adecuado fomenta la motivación y el compromiso generando mejores resultados. Debido a la globalidad de este recurso y a las diferencias sociales, culturales y económicas se crea una brecha digital que dificulta o favorece el uso de este recurso como herramienta educativa.

Justus Buchler and the Community of Query
Authors: Gregory Maughn Rollins
Published: July 2024

Before he originated the field of philosophy for children, Matthew Lipman spent nearly twenty years teaching at Columbia University and its affiliated colleges under the tutelage of the American philosopher Justus Buchler. In those years Lipman’s scholarship focused on Buchler’s naturalist metaphysics, which was informed by Buchler’s scholarship on the philosophy of Charles Peirce. In this essay I relate Lipman’s relationship with Buchler, summarise Buchler’s theory of human judgement, and indicate key parts of that theory that influenced Lipman’s own theory of judgement and multidimensional thinking. I then discuss the pedagogical turn Buchler made with his theory, including his conception of classroom discussion as a mode of ‘community of query,’ which became the prototype for Lipman and Ann Margaret Sharp’s theory of ‘community of inquiry’ as a protocol of classroom dialogue and a paradigm of philosophical practice and democratic decision-making.

QUALITY RISK MANAGEMENT - REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Authors:   Alkaloid AD Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia, Velјanova Martinoski Elena
Published: July 2024

t is known that at the time of drug safety approval, the amount of information is relatively limited. We are all witnessing a time when everything is very dynamic, a time of complete digitization and automation, where information’s are easily available. Additionally, the COVID-19 virus pandemic has forced rapid drug development and easy availability of drugs for patients. Dynamics carries many risks, so risk management techniques, although well known to the pharmaceutical industry, are becoming an increasingly popular and used tool. Risk management regulation is defined in EU and FDA quality guidelines, ISO 14385, ISO 14971, ISPE documents, and even in the ISO 9001:2015 revision, which shows how to establish and maintain a risk management system. Assessment of individual risks related to specific products and starting materials, and identification of hazards at certain stages of production or distribution should enable regulatory authorities to improve drug control. This includes the appropriate application of root cause analysis that can identify and address the root cause(s). The recent revision of ICH Q9 focuses on six specific topics, subjectivity in QRM, product availability risks, formality in QRM, risk-based decision making, risk review, and hazard (root cause) identification. The ICH Q9 revision leads to better, science-based manufacturing operations, control strategies, and validation activities, which can indirectly lead to fewer quality defects and drug recalls, and potentially lower costs for the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare systems.

The ecological status of Prespa Lake was determined on the basis of taxonomic (number of species, diversity, density) and functional properties (feeding strategy) of rotifers. 44 species were found, 35 littoral and 9 pelagic with an average population density of 25 ind. L-1 and a remarkable share (65%) in the zooplankton assemblage. Microphagous Kellicottia longispina and Keratella cochlearis dominate in spring and summer, and raptorial Polyarthra vulgaris and Synchaeta pectinata in autumn. The dominance of microphagous rotifers indicates increased productivity in Lake Prespa. Pearson's correlation shows that the abundance of rotifers is significantly related to TP and TN.Taxonomic and functional characteristics of rotifers can be an useful indicator of ecological processes in freshwater ecosystems.
