Immersive learning in a block teaching model: A case study of academic reform through principles, policies and practice
Authors: Roche Thomas , Wilson Erica , Goode Elizabeth
Published: July 2024

Universities across the globe are considering how to effect meaningful change in their higher education (HE) delivery in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and shifting student learning preferences. This paper reports on a descriptive case- study of whole-of-institution curriculum reform at one regional Australian university, where more traditional 13-week semesters have been replaced with a 6-week immersive block model known as the Southern Cross Model. Based on a synthesis of literature in best practice HE pedagogy and principles, the case study draws on both a review of policy and staff interviews (N = 5) to outline the key changes necessary for successful HE transformation. Analysis revealed themes related to the vital roles of leadership, capacity building, monitoring the transition, staff adoption, and adequate technical systems in implementing a radical, multifaceted institutional transformation. Implications for practice at institutions considering reforming their curriculum model are also discussed. The findings from this case study indicate that an institutional transformation to an immersive block model requires both a considered change in institutional policy and process, as well as the appropriate resourcing of roles, governance committees, technical solutions, and, importantly, communities of practice.
A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing? Critical Discourse Analysis of Five Online Automated Paraphrasing Sites
Authors: Hammond Kay M. , Lucas Patricia , Hassouna Amira , Brown Stephen
Published: July 2024

Research on academic integrity used to focus more on student character and behaviour. Now this research includes wider viewing of this issue as a current teaching and learning challenge which requires pedagogical intervention. It is now the responsibility of staff and institutions to treat the creation of a learning environment supporting academic integrity as a teaching and learning priority. Plagiarism by simply copying other people’s work is a well-known misconduct which undermines academic integrity; moreover, technological developments have evolved plagiarism to include the generation and copying of computer-generated text. Automated paraphrasing tool (APT) websites have become increasingly common, offering students machine-generated rephrased text that students input from their own or others’ writing. These developments present a creeping erosion of academic integrity under the guise of legitimate academic assistance. This also has implications for arrival of large language model (LLM) generative AI tools. In accessing these sites, students must discern what is a legitimate use of the tool and what may constitute breaching academic integrity. This study critically analysed the text from five online paraphrasing websites to examine the discourses used to legitimise and encourage APT use in both appropriate and inappropriate ways. We conceptualised these competing discourses using Sheep and Wolf metaphors. In addition, we offer a metaphor of the Educator as a Shepherd to become aware of APT website claims and assist students to develop critical language awareness when exposed to these sites. Educators can assist students with this through knowledge of how these sites use language to entice users to circumvent learning.
Book review: Designing learning for intensive modes of study
Authors: Allison Janelle
Published: July 2024

Designing learning for intensive modes of study is a clear, concise guide to designing curricula with intensive modes of study. It takes a project management style approach and considers implementation at the unit, program, and institutional scale. Appendix A allows readers to explore how different intensive mode learning strategies have been designed and implemented. We see how the theory is translated into practice. Case studies bring the Guide to life and illustrate the steps to be negotiated in adopting novel approaches to learning and teaching. The key messages and plentiful illustrations currently included in vignette form in the main body of the Guide also provide how-to design excitement.
Exploring disruption through the lens of an adapted Five Senses Framework
Authors: Ashford Theresa , Innes Peter A. , Hands Karen , Casey Sarah , Blake Jacqueline
Published: July 2024

This quasi-experimental research design surveyed 688 students through a self-administered online survey to specifically explore relations between student self-assessed capabilities (Lizzio Five Senses, 2006), overall program satisfaction, withdrawal behaviours, demographics and year of study in their university courses during an emergency COVID-19 lockdown experience. Importantly, this research offers a more nuanced view of the Five Senses and confirms their importance as a university strategy for student success. These findings offer further granularity into the complex set of relations that impact decisions around satisfaction, persistence, and capability in higher education and support previous research by Lizzio and Wilson (2008) indicating students’ perceptions of purpose is the strongest predictor of satisfaction, lower anxiety and lower course withdrawal. Ultimately, the paper suggests as higher education looks towards future possible disruptions due to climate, health or political realities, equipping and fostering a strong sense of purpose, connectedness, and resourcefulness as well as sense of capability and academic culture will buffer and support students to persevere. In addition, this research suggests that those students who may have weak associations with these senses merit additional attention.
Percepciones sobre el ejercicio de derechos y obligaciones del personal docente en la unidad educativa Santo Domingo de los Colorados - Ecuador
Authors: Cedeño-Jama Katiusca Elizabeth
Published: July 2024

Este trabajo se desarrolló para describir las percepciones respecto del ejercicio de derechos y obligaciones de los docentes en la Unidad Educativa Santo Domingo de los Colorados, en el período lectivo 2023 – 2024. Esta institución es de sostenimiento fiscal, se ubica en la Provincia de Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Ecuador. Es una investigación de enfoque cuantitativo, de corte transversal, nivel descriptivo y modalidad de campo, bibliográfico y documental. Los datos recopilados a través de una encuesta aplicada a 100 docentes, fueron analizados con estadísticos descriptivos para saber la distribución de las respuestas y arribar a conclusiones válidas. Se encuentra que hay una distribución en cierta medida equitativa entre los niveles alto, medio y bajo sobre la calidad del ambiente laboral; altos porcentajes de sujetos que hacen uso de su derecho a permisos y licencias, en niveles bajos; altos porcentajes que dicen hacer de sus derechos a capacitación y estudios; lo cual, es similar en cuanto a apoyo y bienestar; y en la gestión administrativa, el mayor porcentaje considera que es de alto nivel. Asimismo, hay una distribución casi equitativa respecto de la planificación señalando que es nivel alto, medio y bajo, algo similar sucede con el cumplimiento de normas; la abrumadora mayoría considera un nivel bajo en cuanto a la atención y buen trato dentro del plantel, muy similar a lo que piensan sobre el respeto al prójimo. Tras el cálculo del coeficiente de Pearson se encuentra una correlación positiva fuerte bidireccional, por lo que, cuando una variable aumenta la otra aumenta también y viceversa.

Published: July 2024

El trabajo de investigación permitirá el análisis del meme-drop como herramienta de comunicación y como este repercutió en el votante, el uso correcto de esta estrategia es un recurso poco valorado y es desestimado por los candidatos a alguna dignidad pública y hasta por algunos asesores políticos, en esta sociedad en la cual lo viral es determinante para poder posicionar temas de conversación y así entender el rol que cumplen los debates electorales, si funcionan o no. Desde la irrupción de los smartphones la comunicación ha cambiado por completo, ya no es necesaria la utilización de palabras para poder tener una conversación, de hecho, con un emoji se puede decir más de lo que a simple vista se observa. Con la llegada del meme la política se convirtió en un tema fácil de digerir para todos, con el prisma de la comedia, temas importantes se podían volver más sencillos para las personas que por lo general no les interesa la política, la comunicación política a través del meme se ha convertido en un recurso para alcanzar votos, aceptación y hasta capital político.  En esta investigación se optó por analizar encuestas y entrevistar a asesores políticos y comediantes para tener una visión más amplia de lo que es el meme y como utilizarlo de forma profesional.

Authors: Septiana Iriani Reka , Daniar Rima , Puspa Dilia , Kholidah Nurul
Published: July 2024

The boiler is equipment widely used in various industrial sectors such as power plants, fertilizer plants, paper mills, and others. The combustion chamber is an important part of the boiler which can determine the quality of the steam product. The main problem has happened in combustion chambers such as unburned hydrocarbon/carbon loss which is called fouling. Fouling has occurred in many boilers, which use coal or oil as fuel for the production of steam and decreases boiler performance. The purpose of this research is to increase temperature by adding steam injection to reduce fouling to compare with and without steam injection. Two indicators that have the potential to enhance heat transfer are the elevation in temperature and the reduction in fouling percentage. The variables in this research were air flow of 15 L/min, 17,5 L/min, and 20 L/min and steam injection pressure of 2 bars, 3 bars, and 4 bars. The maximum temperature enhancement was 37,5% in 15 L/min of air flow at a steam injection pressure of 2 bars and 3 bars. The maximum fouling abatement was 78,57% in 15 L/min at a steam injection pressure of 4 bars.

Patients who require complex spinal surgery require a huge amount of blood transfusion perioperatively. The anemia, the formation of hematoma, and increased coagulation properties, which are consequences of massive blood loss itself can negatively affect the postoperative clinical results.Objectives: The main objective of the study is to find the tranexamic acid usage in adult spinal deformity patients with relative contraindications in Pakistan. Methodology of the study: This prospective observational study was conducted at Pakistan institute of medical sciences from 2016-2020. Data were collected from 185 patients of spine deformity.Data were collected through a combination of medical record reviews and direct patient interviews. Demographic details, including age, gender, weight, and height, were recorded for each of the 185 patients. Comprehensive medical histories were obtained to identify comorbid conditions and relative contraindications for tranexamic acid (TXA) use, such as a history of thromboembolic events, renal impairment, and concurrent anticoagulant therapy. Results: Data were collected from 185 patients according to criteria of the study. Mean age of the patients were 58.4 ± 12.3 years. Out of 185, there were 112 (60.5%) females and 73 (39.5%) male patients. Mean BMI was 28.1 ± 5.4 kg/m2. 49.7% were also suffering from hypertension, 24.3% from DM and 20% from osteoporosis.The regression coefficient (β) for total blood loss was -250 mL, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of [-300, -200], and a p-value of < 0.001. Similarly, the regression coefficient for the number of blood transfusions was -1.2 units, with a 95% confidence interval of [-1.5, -0.9], and a p-value of < 0.001.Conclusion: Tranexamic acid effectively reduces blood loss and transfusion requirements in adult spinal deformity surgeries, even among patients with relative contraindications. The associated complication rates are manageable with careful patient selection and monitoring.
Allergy to ustekinumab: validating skin tests for diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making
Authors: Alves Pedro B. , Cunha Francisca , Mendes Sofia , Ribeiro Carmelita , Todo-Bom Ana
Published: July 2024

Monoclonal antibodies have gained prominence in treating cancer and inflammatory diseases, but their increased use is linked to rising hypersensitivity reactions. Our case report focuses on a 32-year-old female with Crohn’s disease treated initially with adalimumab and later with ustekinumab. Despite ustekinumab’s generally safe profile, the patient developed increasingly severe mucocutaneous reactions. Intradermal skin testing with a 1:10 (0.5 mg/ml) concentration, validated with negative controls, revealed a type I hypersensitivity reaction to ustekinumab. The patient’s continuous need for the drug led to a desensitization protocol, with a generalized mucocutaneous reaction during the second cycle. This case report underscores the growing concern of monoclonal hypersensitivity and the need for accurate diagnosis and therapeutic adjustments. Skin testing, especially for type I and type IV phenotypes, is valuable but lacks standardized concentrations and accessibility. This report validates nonirritating concentrations for ustekinumab in skin testing for IgE-mediated reactions, a novel contribution to existing literature. Skin testing aided risk stratification and led to the development of a desensitization protocol. A broader application of these skin test concentrations, combined with in vitro testing, could enhance diagnostic accuracy and risk prediction for ustekinumab reactions, presenting skin testing as a promising diagnostic and stratification tool for future use.

Published: July 2024

In the recent past, there has been a surge in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the development of smart technologies for the purpose of improving efficiency in writing academic papers and conducting researches. However, the potential of using AI in the improvement of scholarly processes has not been optimally realized due to low awareness and visibility of the tool among the users. In this respect, this paper aims to describe the following tools of AI which can be applied in the research process including literature search and manuscript preparation. To assess the AI technology, the current literature in form of case studies was reviewed and this included the automated literature search engines, citation management software, natural language processing tools and data analysis tools. It also reveals that AI approaches can also help in decreasing the amount of time spent in article and data search, citation, citation management, and even in the generation of quality publications.

This research paper explores the significant impacts of multiple loan fraud on Indian banks and financial institutions, emphasizing the resulting bad debts and financial losses. The issue is exacerbated in the real estate sector, where influential developers exploit system vulnerabilities to secure multiple loans using the same collateral. Consumers also face challenges in accessing credit due to these fraudulent practices. The study underscores the need for enhanced regulatory measures and internal controls within financial institutions. Additionally, it introduces IoTBlockFin, a decentralized system that integrates block chain and IoT technologies to securely assess customer reliability and mitigate fraud. IoTBlockFin's Advanced Proof of Work (APOW) mechanism, combined with IoT data for real-time monitoring, offers superior security, latency, and cost-effectiveness compared to centralized systems, as demonstrated by experimental results.

Snoring, a prevalent symptom of obstructive sleep apnea, is believed to impact 57% of men and 40% of women in the United States. Night-time breathing disorders present significant challenges to both diagnosis and treatment, impacting millions of individuals worldwide. Traditional methods like CPAP machines and lifestyle changes face barriers such as discomfort, low adherence, and high costs, prompting the need for innovative solutions. This paper presents a novel approach using artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning, to create a snore sound analysis-based alerting system. This system aims to detect sleep disorders by analyzing snore patterns, providing a non-intrusive, cost-effective, and user-friendly alternative to traditional methods. By training models on snore sound characteristics, we've achieved promising results in identifying sleep apnea, showcasing the potential of this system in transforming the detection and management of night-time breathing disorders.

Introduction:

The factors most important in the spine fellowship match may not ultimately correlate with quality of performance during fellowship. This study examined the spine fellow applicant metrics correlated with high application rank compared with the metrics associated with the strongest clinical performance during fellowship.

Methods:

Spine fellow applications at three academic institutions were retrieved from the San Francisco Match database (first available to 2021) and deidentified for application review. Application metrics pertaining to research, academics, education, extracurriculars, leadership, examinations, career interests, and letter of recommendations were extracted. Attending spine surgeons involved in spine fellow selection at their institutions were sent a survey to rank (1) fellow applicants based on their perceived candidacy and (2) the strength of performance of their previous fellows. Pearson correlation assessed the associations of application metrics with theoretical fellow rank and actual performance.

Results:

A total of 37 spine fellow applications were included (Institution A: 15, Institution B: 12, Institution C: 10), rated by 14 spine surgeons (Institution A: 6, Institution B: 4, Institution C: 4). Theoretical fellow rank demonstrated a moderate positive association with overall research, residency program rank, recommendation writer H-index, US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores, and journal reviewer positions. Actual fellow performance demonstrated a moderate positive association with residency program rank, recommendation writer H-index, USMLE scores, and journal reviewer positions. Linear regressions identified journal reviewer positions (ß = 1.73, P = 0.002), Step 1 (ß = 0.09, P = 0.010) and Step 3 (ß = 0.10, P = 0.002) scores, recommendation writer H-index (ß = 0.06, P = 0.029, and ß = 0.07, P = 0.006), and overall research (ß = 0.01, P = 0.005) as predictors of theoretical rank. Recommendation writer H-index (ß = 0.21, P = 0.030) and Alpha Omega Alpha achievement (ß = 6.88, P = 0.021) predicted actual performance.

Conclusion:

Residency program reputation, USMLE scores, and a recommendation from an established spine surgeon were important in application review and performance during fellowship. Research productivity, although important during application review, was not predictive of fellow performance.
