Task-Based Language Teaching As A Method of Instruction In Teaching Speaking
Authors: Aflah Mita Nur
Published: March 2021

This paper aims to explore the theory on classroom instruction particularly Task-Based Language Teaching. It includes a short discussion of the definition and benefits of TBLT to help engaging students in a lesson by encouraging spoken interactions. In addition, teachers are encouraged to explore and experiment with TBLT in order to promote students active participation as well as to maximize opportunities for students to explore the target language. To strengthen the discussion, there is a guided framework to apply in the classroom as the subject matter for students to learn more effectively. Hopefully the paper could provide educators and instructors a method to use and to lead further studies for helping students to explore communicating in English. Moreover, this paper can also serve as a research reference in the field of classroom instruction, for instance in using TBLT to foster speaking skill.
Performance Evaluation of Vehicle Restraint Systems in the Context of Design and Installation
Authors: Tahmasseby Shahram , Muley Deepti , Wink Bernd Wolfgang
Published: March 2021

Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS), a necessary component of the road design, are widely implemented by transport authorities to protect vehicles from severe incidents, mainly colliding to the roadside as well as median obstacles and other potential hazards. The performance evaluation of vehicle restraint systems at the design and installation stages is largely made according to either European or American standards. The local traffic conditions and vehicle compositions in countries, which are noticeably different from Europe and North America, necessitate a customized guideline in which the design and installation of road safety barriers are more adapted to the local conditions of the country. This paper briefly reviews the main features of EN1317, and NCHRP 350/MASH standards, which are predominantly used for the design, installation, and performance evaluation of VRS in Europe and the United States respectively. Moreover, the contribution of these standards in developing the VRS guideline for the State of Qatar is explained. The study recommends customizations to the design and installation of VRS, which are presently implemented according to the guideline developed by the Public Work Authority in Qatar. The present guideline follows European as well as American standards. The recommendations are made based on empirical studies and evidence observed by undertaking a series of site visits, audits, and perform inspections of VRS components installed on Qatari roads and highways. The study findings demonstrate the performance of VRS can be enhanced by incorporating the design and selection of road safety components such as guardrails, terminals, transitions, and crash cushions at the preliminary design stage of roads and highways. This study brings about practical insights and implications for road designers, contractors, supervision teams, and road safety auditors. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091665 Full Text: PDF
Numerical Modelling of One-Way Reinforced Concrete Slab in FireTaking Into Account of Spalling
Authors: Cherif Guergah , Salah Dimia Mohamed , Abdelaziz Benmarce
Published: March 2021

This paper presents a study of the behaviour of Reinforced Concrete (RC) slabs subjected to severe hydrocarbon fire exposure. In which the spalling phenomena of concrete is to be considered. The hydrocarbon curve is applicable where small petroleum fires might occur, i.e. car fuel tanks, petrol or oil tankers, certain petro-chemical facilities, tunnels, parking structures, etc. Spalling is included using a simplified approach where elements with temperatures higher than 400 °C are assumed to occur and the corresponding thermo-mechanical response of RC slabs is evaluated. The nonlinear finite element software SAFIR has been used to perform a numerical analysis of the spalling risk, by removing layers of concrete covering when a set of spalling criteria is checked. The numerical results obtained by finite element analysis of the temperature distribution within the slab and mid-span deflection were compared with published experimental data. Predictions from the numerical model show a good agreement with the experimental data throughout the entire fire exposure to the hydrocarbon fire. This shows that this approach (layering procedure) is very useful in predicting the behaviour of concrete spalling cases. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091667 Full Text: PDF

Published: March 2021

Background

In 2015, Ethiopia designated rabies as a priority zoonotic disease. Challenges in rabies diagnostic capacity, including laboratory safety, were identified in 2016. As a pilot evaluation, the national rabies laboratory in Ethiopia (EPHI) was chosen to participate in an evaluation of necropsy laboratory facilities and procedures which was conducted over two years. This evaluation identified areas for improvement that strengthening would enhance safety in the laboratory environment. Process changes, specifically in cleaning procedures, will decrease the likelihood of cross contamination and improve precision of testing.

Methods

This evaluation consisted of two sections: a 38-question verbal interview and an observational evaluation of necropsy laboratory practice. In March 2018, we evaluated EPHI’s laboratory biosafety procedures, and the laboratory technicians’ knowledge, practices, and attitudes in the animal necropsy laboratory before CDC-led laboratory trainings (September and December 2018). A post-training evaluation was conducted in March 2019.

Results

Safety compliance scores in 2019 were noticeably increased from 2018. Interview scores increased from 57% to 91% and laboratory observation scores increased from 74% to 91%.

Conclusion

This evaluation revealed that a necropsy laboratory assessment could be a valuable tool for understanding challenges faced by laboratories performing rabies diagnosis in Ethiopia. Assessment materials help to identify on-going challenges as well as areas of improvement in a systematic manner. In the future, this assessment could be used as a model for labs performing rabies diagnosis in a decentralized system. Additional rabies laboratories are anticipated to stand up throughout Ethiopia and laboratory assessments based on this methodology could provide valuable insights into how to mitigate risks.

Altered apoptotic protein expressions characterize the survival of Bcr-Abl-independent drug-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cell line
Authors: BAYKAL KÖSE Seda , YALÇIN Pelin
Published: March 2021

Apoptosis is a programmed cellular process that occurs in pathological and physiological pathways and it is one of the most studied topics in cell biology. To understand the underlying mechanism of apoptosis plays an important role in the molecular pathogenesis of many diseases including cancers. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative malignancy arising from the neoplastic transformation of the hematopoietic stem cell. Here, we used a Bcr-Abl-independent, imatinib-resistant K562 subpopulation (K562-IR) generated and characterized earlier in our laboratory. We showed that the proteins Bcl-2, Bim, RIP, p-MAPK(Erk1/Erk2) and NF-кB which play critical roles in cell death pathways are downregulated, Lamin A/C protein expression is upregulated in K562-IR derivative cells compared to K562 ancestral cells. Our data provide new information on the expression of apoptotic molecules in a Bcr-Abl-independent imatinib-resistant CML cell line.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) or coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) outbreak is continued to spread all over the world recently with the high mortality and morbidity rates. It is also known well coronavirus infectious disease is leading causes of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), septic shock and multi organ failure. Current treatment of COVID-19 includes different strategies targeting preventing viral replication or treating secondary infections and decreasing exaggerated immune response. Although antiviral, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory agents including anti-cytokines and glucocorticoids have been currently applied; there is lack of a specific treatment for COVID-19. In this review, possible therapeutic roles of cholinomimetic drugs in the control of COVID-19 are discussed.

Цель работы – комплексный анализ национальных стратегий устойчивого развития (НСУР) 20 стран и выявление их общих характеристик и лучших практик. Определены ключевые типы НСУР: презентационная, навигационная, классическая и детализированная. Показано, что лучшие мировые практики имеют выраженную ценностную и эмоциональную окраску. Установлено, что для их успешной реализации ключевое значение имеет наличие комплекса отраслевых стратегий, планов второго и последующих уровней вложенности, детализирующих цели НСУР. НСУР институализируют переход от редукционистского подхода, сводящего сложные процессы к росту экономических показателей, к широкому видению долгосрочного развития, ориентирующемуся на подлинное человеческое благополучие. Данные характеристики отсутствуют у типичных стратегий социально-экономического развития российских регионов и муниципальных образований, что ставит вопрос о пересмотре подходов к стратегированию на этих уровнях: необходим отказ от традиционных преимущественно экономических стратегий и переход к интегральным стратегиям устойчивого развития «Повестки дня XXI века».

Gabe und Gegengabe. Epistemologische und ethische Herausforderungen der Kooperation zwischen Museum und „Herkunftsgesellschaften“
Authors: Scholz Andrea
Published: March 2021

Die Zusammenarbeit mit den sogenannten Herkunftsgesellschaften der Sammlungen wird im Diskurs um „gute Museumspraxis“ in ethnologischen Museen immer wichtiger. Was sich in der Öffentlichkeit sinnvoll und richtig anhört, ist hinter den Kulissen oft von Widersprüchen und Widerständen gekennzeichnet. Zum einen haben die Herkunftsgesellschaften ihre eigenen Interessen und Ansprüche, die nicht unbedingt mit der kulturpolitischen Agenda zusammenpassen. Zum anderen sind die Strukturen, in denen ethnologische Museen agieren, nur wenig auf Zusammenarbeitsprojekte vorbereitet.
Andrea Scholz gibt einen Einblick in die von ihr koordinierte Langzeitkooperation zwischen dem Ethnologischen Museum Berlin (SMB/SPK) und indigenen Organisationen und Institutionen höherer indigener Bildung in Brasilien, Kolumbien und Venezuela. Die Chancen und Hindernisse erfolgreicher Zusammenarbeit werden an verschiedenen Praxiserfahrungen aus dem Projekt deutlich.
Die Berliner Gesellschaft für Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte im Wandel. Eine wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Zusammenschau von der Gründung bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg im Spiegel ihrer Archivalien
Authors: Lewerentz Annette
Published: March 2021

Das Archiv der BGAEU bildet einen reichen Fundus an wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen, wissenschaftspolitischen und historischen Informationen zu den Schaffensphasen der Gesellschaft von ihrer Gründung am 17.11.1869 bis heute. Ziel der BGAEU war und ist die Erforschung der Kulturgeschichte und biologischen Entwicklung des Menschen von der Vorgeschichte bis zur Gegenwart in unterschiedlichen geografischen Regionen der Erde, auch unter einem ganzheitlichen interdisziplinären Fokus.
Dieser Beitrag widmet sich den wissenschaftlich bedeutenden Phasen der BGAEU von der Gründung bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges. „Getragen“ wurde die BGAEU von einem breitgefächerten Netzwerk aus Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, Mäzenen und interessierten Laien, auch mit Verbindungen zu politisch und wirtschaftlich einflussreichen Akteuren.
Im Beitrag werden die Positionierung der BGAEU in der Berliner Wissenschaftslandschaft, ihre Beteiligung und ihr Engagement bei der Gründung von verschiedenen Museen – prominentes Beispiel ist die Gründung des Berliner Völkerkundemuseums 1873 – die vielfältigen, und nicht nur finanziellen, Unterstützungsformen ihrer Forschung staatlicherseits, die wissenschaftlichen Aktivitäten weltweit, sowie die Bedeutung von Stiftungen für die Forschungsförderung der BGAEU vorgestellt (z.B. durch die Rudolf-Virchow-Stiftung und das Ethnologische Hilfskomitee für Vermehrung der Ethnologischen Sammlungen der Königlichen Museen in Berlin).
Ein weiterer Abschnitt des Beitrages untersucht den wissenschaftlichen, oft kontrovers geführten und teilweise biologistisch eingefärbten Diskurs vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg, an dem die Forschenden der BGAEU federführend beteiligt waren. Abschließend wird die administrative und wissenschaftliche Verflechtung und Positionierung der BGAEU in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus betrachtet – ein wichtiger Zeitabschnitt, der bislang noch ein Desiderat in der Aufarbeitung der Geschichte der BGAEU bildet, hier nur kurz vorgestellt werden kann und einer separaten Bearbeitung bedarf.

Resource Publicness Matters in Organizational Perceptions
Authors: Xu Chengxin , Li Huafang
Published: March 2021

Publicness theory deepens our understanding of differences and similarities of organizational behavior. However, in areas in which public, nonprofit, and private organizations compete to serve people, it remains unclear how the level of dimensional publicness influences individuals' perceptions and choices of organizations. In this study, we present evidence from two online experiments examining the way people's perceptions of resource publicness (operationalized as government funding, donations, and service fees) of elderly care centers in the U.S. influence their judgment of organizations and service choices. Findings suggest that people perceive donative organizations to be the warmest and most competent, followed by government‐funded and commercial organizations. We conclude that individuals’ perceptions of resource publicness lead to different judgment that may influence their service choice decisions.

Clarifying the Relationship Between Early Speech-Sound Production Abilities and Subsequent Reading Outcomes
Authors: Mues Marjolein , Zuk Jennifer , Norton Elizabeth , Gabrieli John , Hogan Tiffany P. , Gaab Nadine
Published: March 2021

Purpose: Learning to read is a complex, multi-faceted process that relies on several speech and language-related subskills. Individual differences in word reading outcomes are indicated among children with inaccurate speech-sound productions, with inconsistent reports as to whether phonological deficits and/or weaknesses in oral language explain subsequent reading difficulties. Thus, it remains unclear how variability in speech production accuracy in early childhood may impact reading development. Therefore, the present longitudinal study seeks to clarify the relationship between speech-sound production accuracy in kindergarten and subsequent reading outcomes with a focus on additional potential mediating factors.Method: Speech accuracy, core pre-literacy skills (phonological awareness, rapid naming, letter-name knowledge) and additional potential mediators (oral language, nonverbal cognitive abilities, and socioeconomic status (SES) were characterized at the start of formal reading instruction. Word reading, decoding, reading fluency and comprehension were assessed at the end of second grade. Mediation analyses were conducted to examine factors that mediate the relationship between speech accuracy in kindergarten and subsequent reading outcomes.Results: Speech-sound production accuracy uniquely contributed to the prediction of word reading; whereas full mediation effects of core pre-literacy skills and SES were identified for decoding and fluency. For reading comprehension, full effects of pre-literacy and vocabulary skills were observed. Hierarchical regression models further revealed the relative contributions of each factor to respective reading outcomes.Conclusions: Findings carry implications for the importance of monitoring emergent literacy abilities among children with speech delays and assessing speech-sound production accuracy in multifactorial approaches to early identification of risk for reading difficulties.
Inversionson: Fully Automated Seismic Waveform Inversions
Authors: Thrastarson Solvi , van Herwaarden Dirk-Philip , Fichtner Andreas
Published: March 2021

We present Inversionson, a Python package that fully automates modern full-waveform inversions (FWI).It supports traditional FWI, which uses the same set of events and a single simulation mesh in each iteration, as well as more advanced workflows that exploit the use of dynamic mini-batches and wavefield-adapted meshes.These recently introduced advancements can be time-consuming and challenging to implement but offer major benefits, such as much lower computing cost in favourable cases and the ability to use much larger datasets, while having a built-in optimal experimental design.Inversionson, in essence, acts as a control center that steers the functions of several other packages, making them communicate and work together to perform seismic inversions.This enables scaling of full-waveform inversion problems well on the most powerful High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters while requiring no user input during run time.Widespread adoption of real data full-waveform inversion workflows to image regional to global 3-D Earth structure has so far been limited to a handful of research groups, with most researchers focusing on 2-D synthetic problems.This probably mainly stems from the challenging implementation, as well as a lack of computational and human resources.Inversionson is built on top of various tools and mitigates each of these challenges, by exploiting the widely used waveform solver package Salvus, supporting efficient modern workflows, and fully automating the time-consuming steps.With this contribution, we hope that we can make FWI a more interesting option for a much larger group of researchers, thereby accelerating progress in the field.
Dark Tetrad Personality Traits and the Propensity to Lie Across Multiple Contexts
Authors: Forsyth Loch , Anglim Jeromy , March Evita , Bilobrk Barbara
Published: March 2021

The current study investigated the relationships between the Dark Tetrad traits (i.e., Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism) and the propensity to lie in general and across the domain-specific contexts of academic, relationship, and professional scenarios. Participants (N = 615; 61% female: age M = 26.83, SD = 8.36) completed the Short Dark Triad and Short Sadistic Impulse Scale. They then read and responded to vignettes in three separate contexts (relationship, academic, and professional) and indicated their propensity to lie, lying efficacy, perceived cognitive load, and emotional response to lying. As hypothesized, individuals higher on the Dark Tetrad were found to report a higher propensity to lie. The Dark Tetrad traits were correlated with less cognitive load, more positive affect, and less negative affect while lying. Of the four traits that comprise the Dark Tetrad, Machiavellianism was the strongest predictor across each of the domain specific contexts. Sadism and narcissism both presented as significant and somewhat comparable predictors to deceive. The findings from the current study highlight the dangers of defaulting to truth-based judgements when engaging in interactions involving those high on the Dark Tetrad.
Happiness feels light, sadness feels heavy: introducing valence-related bodily sensation maps of emotions
Authors: Hartmann Matthias , Lenggenhager Bigna , Stocker Kurt
Published: March 2021

Bodily sensation mapping (BSM) is a recently developed self-report tool for the assessment of emotions in which people draw their sensations of activation in a body silhouette. Following the circumplex model of affect, activity and valence are the underling dimensions of every emotional experience. The aim of this study was to introduce the neglected valence dimension in BSM. We found that participants systematically report valence-related sensations of bodily lightness for positive emotions (happiness, love, pride), and sensations of bodily heaviness in response to negative emotions (e.g., anger, fear, sadness, depression) with specific body topography (Experiment 1). Further experiments showed that both computers (using a machine learning approach) and humans recognize emotions better when classification is based on the combined activity- and valence-related BSMs compared to either type of BSM alone (Experiments 2 and 3), suggesting that both types of bodily sensations reflect distinct parts of emotion knowledge. Importantly, participants found it clearer to indicate their bodily sensations induced by sadness and depression in terms of bodily weight than bodily activity (Experiment 2 and 4), suggesting that the added value of valence-related BSMs is particularly relevant for the assessment of emotions at the negative end of the valence spectrum.
Hadza hunter-gatherers are not deontologists and do not prefer deontologists as social partners
Authors: Smith Kristopher M , Apicella Coren Lee
Published: March 2021

Researchers hypothesize that social selection resulting from partner choice may have shaped deontological moral reasoning in humans. People in Western societies judge deontologists to be more trustworthy than utilitarians and prefer them as cooperative partners. We test if the preference for deontologists as social partners generalizes to the Hadza, hunter-gatherers residing in Tanzania. We presented 134 Hadza participants with three ecologically-relevant sacrificial dilemmas and asked them to judge whether the actor should sacrifice one person to save five. We then randomly assigned participants to hear that the actor made either a deontological or utilitarian decision and asked them to make partner choice judgments about the actor in the dilemma. Compared to 249 US Mechanical Turk participants, Hadza participants were more likely to think the actor should choose the utilitarian option. Regardless of what option they thought the actor should choose, Hadza participants showed no preference for the deontological or utilitarian decision-maker, whereas Mechanical Turk participants who thought the actor should choose the deontological option had a strong preference for the deontological actor. These results suggest the preference for deontological decision-makers as cooperative partners is culturally variable.
GAGASAN MODERASI BERAGAMA HABIB ALI ZAINAL ABIDIN AL-JUFRI
Authors: Setiawan Dicky Adi
Published: March 2021

Buku yang berada di tangan anda saat ini merupakan hasil penelitian penulis yang mencoba mendeskripsikan pemikiran Habib Ali al-Jufri tentang moderasi beragama. Data yang digunakan penulis dalam mendeskripsikan pemikiran Habib Ali al-Jufri selain menelaah karya-karyanya juga menukil dari ceramah-ceramahnya yang ada di media sosial seperti youtoube dan semacamnya. Adapun jika berbicara mengenai moderat, dalam pandangan sebagian kelompok ada yang mendefinisikan bahwa kata moderat ialah sesuatu yang berada di tengah di antara dua hal. Ada juga yang memaknai bahwa moderat itu ialah suatu tindakan yang tidak memihak ke kanan dan ke kiri. Jika meminjam istilah orang Arab bahwa sesuatu akan nampak mulia apabila di tengah-tengahnya diletakan perhiasan. Dan seperti ungkapan “kamu berada ditengah kaum” artinya kamu adalah orang yang mulia di antara meraka serta ungkapan “kamu berada ditengah mereka” artinya kamu mendaimaikan konflik diantara mereka. Jika berkaca pada Islam, sebenarnya kata moderatisme atau wasatiyyah sudah tidak asing lagi. Oleh sebab itu yang ada hanyalah meneguhkan moderat yang telah ada, karena Islam sendiri telah dijadikan Allah Swt sebagai agama yang moderat.

Authors: Calitz André P. , Cullen Margaret D.M. , Midgley Cordene
Published: March 2021

Happiness is a new field of study in various fields, including health care and veterinary science. Workplace-related happiness, or subjective well-being in the work environment, has become a prominent research field. The happiness of veterinarians has gained academic interest globally over recent years. Previous research indicated that increased happiness levels of employees have social, personal and possible financial gain for employers and employees. The objectives of this study were to determine the factors that affect the happiness of South African veterinarians and develop a conceptual model based on the identified factors. A cross-sectional study using a quantitative survey was conducted using a standardized questionnaire. Of 2,182 registered veterinarians, 360 practicing veterinarians completed the survey and the results were statistically analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. The results indicated that the factors influence in the workplace, social relationships, satisfaction with work–life balance, purpose, optimism, work satisfaction, work stress, and leisure were identified as having significant statistical relationships with the happiness of veterinarians. Managerial recommendations are provided based on the research findings. This study is the first known study to examine the factors that affect the happiness levels of veterinarians. The study forms the base for similar research to be conducted in other countries.

Published: March 2021

As critical components of individual well-being, nutrition and physical activity have important physical and psychological implications. Veterinary students face demanding schedules and potentially high rates of psychological distress. Though veterinary students’ strategies for healthy eating have been explored, factors influencing their ability to achieve a healthy diet are less understood. This study assesses incoming veterinary students’ perceived attitudes to their dietary habits and physical activity levels. Incoming students ( n = 322) at five Canadian and five randomly selected US veterinary schools completed a questionnaire inquiring about demographic information, dietary attitudes and habits, and activity levels. More than half (58%) of students perceived their diet to be moderately healthy. A desire to feel better and have more energy was the most reported (79%) motivating factor to modifying personal eating habits and was significantly associated with improved odds of having a perceived healthy diet ( OR = 2.22, p < .024). A busy lifestyle was perceived as a barrier to changing current eating habits by 92% of respondents. Students reporting a desire to maintain their health ( OR = 3.42, p < .001) and moderate ( OR = 2.81, p < .003) or high ( OR = 2.30, p < .044) routine physical activity levels were also more likely to perceive their diet as healthy. Findings show that incoming veterinary students’ perceptions may influence their goals of achieving a healthy lifestyle. An understanding of incoming veterinary students’ barriers and motivators could be applied in future research to assist students in achieving personalized goals.
A 45-year Retrospective Content Analysis ofJVMEArticles
Authors: Schoenfeld-Tacher Regina M. , M. Alpi Kristine
Published: March 2021

To study changes in Journal of Veterinary Medical Education ( JVME) content, this article presents the results of an analysis of a purposeful sample ( n = 537) and demographic analysis of all 1,072 articles published from 2005 to 2019. The findings were compared to a prior analysis of articles from 1974 to 2004. Article length increased, as did the number of authors and institutions per article. Female first author numbers grew at a greater rate than the proportion of female faculty at AAVMC-accredited colleges. Close to 85% of articles were by authors in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, while 40 other countries contributed the remainder. The primary topics of papers published from 2005 to 2019 were student affairs (17.3%), professional skills (15.1%), courses and curricula (12.7%), specialty/disciplinary training (12.5%), and technology/information resources (11.5%). The prevalence of articles with an identified research methodology grew from 14.2% in 1974–2004, to 55.9% ( n = 300) in 2005–2019. Among research articles, 54.7% reported an intervention and 70.3% included a comparison. Random assignment to experimental or control conditions occurred in 32 articles (15.2%). Qualitative inquiry expanded, with 16.3% of research articles using this methodology alone. The most cited article was a review paper discussing the human-animal bond. Descriptions of courses and curricula constituted the majority of articles over the journal’s lifespan, while no pattern was discerned between major reports in veterinary education and subsequent publications on that topic. Over the last 45 years, JVME has transitioned from a newsletter to a scholarly publication, with ongoing evolution.
Remote Assessment of Veterinary Clinical Skills Courses During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Hunt Julie A. , Anderson Stacy L.
Published: March 2021

In spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced educators to adjust the delivery and assessment of curriculum. While didactic courses moved online, laboratory courses were not amenable to this shift. In particular, assessment of clinical skills courses through common methods including objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) became inadvisable. This article describes decisions made for first-, second-, and third-year veterinary students ( n = 368) with respect to clinical skills at one US college. This includes the remote completion of a surgical skills curriculum using instructional videos and models and the delaying of laboratory sessions deemed impossible to deliver remotely. First- and third-year students were subsequently assessed using modified remote OSCEs. Second-year students were assessed using the standard surgical skills examination, video-recorded. All first- and third-year students successfully passed their OSCE upon either first attempt or remediation. Two second-year students failed their remediation examination and were offered additional faculty tutoring and another remediation attempt at the start of the fall semester. The remediation rate on the surgical skills examination was not different from that of previous years. One incident of suspected academic dishonesty occurred in the first-year OSCE. Students learned surgical skills successfully at home by practicing on models and receiving feedback of their skills on video recordings. While disappointing, one case of academic dishonesty among the 368 total students tested was not surprising. Remote assessment using modified OSCEs and surgical skills exams appears feasible and fair when in-person testing is not possible.

Telerehabilitation for Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease and a History of Falls: A Pilot Study
Authors: Lavoie Violaine , Bouchard Manon , Turcotte Stéphane , Tousignant Michel
Published: March 2021

Purpose: Falls among persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD) decrease health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and are a risk factor for hospitalization. Although physiotherapy can decrease falls and improve functional capacity, people living in remote areas have limited access to such services. This pilot study aimed to document the feasibility of a physiotherapy telerehabilitation intervention for patients with PD and to estimate the change over time in functional capacity, HRQOL, and the rate of falls. Methods: Eleven persons with PD participated in an 8-week physiotherapy telerehabilitation intervention. We assessed feasibility by computing retention rate and assiduity, number of undesirable health events, and technical problems. We assessed functional capacity, HRQOL, and falls at baseline, after the intervention, and at the 3-month follow-up. Results: Retention rate and assiduity were 91% and 100%. We resolved all technical problems (21.9% of sessions). No undesirable health events occurred. Point estimates suggest an improvement in functional capacity (Mini-BESTest) and HRQOL. Forty percent of participants fell during the intervention phase. Conclusion: Physiotherapy telerehabilitation is feasible and safe for persons with PD. Improvements in functional capacity and HRQOL must be confirmed with an appropriate design.
German Foreign Policy Rules for Action during the 2011 Libya Crisis
Authors: Kurthen Hermann
Published: March 2021

This article presents the conceptualization of fundamental foreign policy beliefs of 62 German decision-makers and experts from the executive branch, parliament, think tanks, media, and academia concerning the March 2011 un Security Council resolution on Libya. The actors’ perceptions were abductively inferred from qualitative interviews using the reconstructivist theoretical framework. Four types of respondents were identified: Realists, Normalizers, Traditionalists, and Pacifists. While they shared the general imperatives of military restraint, alliance solidarity, multilateralism, and upholding values, their specific partisan-ideological interpretation of the application of those rules for action in the case of Libya differed. Both Normalizers and Traditionalists perceived Germany’s UN vote abstention and non-participation in the NATO-led intervention as a break with German foreign policy and a costly mistake, whereas the Realists and Pacifists were in support of the German center-right coalition government’s policy of military restraint, although for very different reasons.
The German New Right and Its Think Tanks
Authors: Pautz Hartwig
Published: March 2021

This article presents an analysis of how think tanks of the German New Right have sought to expand the reach of the New Right into far-right electoral politics, specifically those embodied by the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party. Informed by social network analysis and document analysis, the research focuses on the years between 2013 and 2017, the period that saw the foundation of the AfD, its shift to the right toward embracing nationalist-völkisch positions, and its entry into the Bundestag. The data show that only a few New Right think tanks have strongly engaged with the AfD for the purpose of changing ideology, personnel, or policy. Most of these think tanks are well-networked with other actors, such as magazines and campaign groups from the wider far right.
