Authors: Luu Tang Phuc Khang , Tran Thi Phuong Dung , Nguyen Huu Giau
Published: November 2022

The present study attempted to understand the histopathological index of striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) in challenge with Edwardsiella ictaluri, the causative agent of bacillary necrosis of Pangasius. Total of 355 healthy striped catfish juveniles was challenged with E. ictaluri (25 control; 330 infected). After the challenge, a total of 355 samples of the trunk kidney, liver, and spleen were collected at five different time points including just prior to infection, 24, 48, 264 and 312 hours post-infection (hpi) to measure the represented tissue damage of the fish. Results showed that many areas of the diseased liver, kidney, and fish organ tissues have been congested and hemorrhaged early at 24 hpi. The number of macrophage centers in the kidney and spleen increased at 24 - 48 hpi. Tissue damage (multifocal hemorrhages; necrosis) increased sharply from the period 48 - 256 hpi. The increased number of dead fish throughout infection, particularly the period from 48 to 200 hpi. At 312 hpi, the histopathological index was the highest, so the mortality rate was the highest during the experimental period.
Correlation between Linguistic Measures: An Extended Analysis
Authors: Coloma Germán
Published: November 2022

In this paper we reconsider the results that appeared originally in Coloma (2017) about the possible existence of negative correlation between linguistic measures, using a newly-assembled database of 80 languages for which we have the same text (which is the fable known as “The North Wind and the Sun”). Most conclusions of the original paper become reinforced, especially the ones related to the existence of language complexity trade-offs. This is particularly clear when we look at partial correlation coefficients between three linguistic ratios (phonemes per syllable, syllables per word, and words per clause), especially when we use simultaneous-equation regression methods and instrumental variables.
Linguistic and Philosophical Features of Henry Fielding’s Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones
Authors: Mostafa El-daly Hosni
Published: November 2022

Henry Fielding was one of the great novelists of the 18th century. Today, he is universally acknowledged as a major figure in the development of the novel. His literacy works have been evaluated by many critics. He proved exceptionally controversial and his reputation has variously soared and crashed in the course of three centuries. This study, first, attempts to scrutinize and perfectly judge the real value, essential nature and intrinsic aspects of Fielding’s two classics, Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones. It is claimed that on examining the works of Henry Fielding, concentration should be given to exploring the extent of the foreign influence on his works. Some critics are of the opinion that they are not incorporated within the framework of the picaresque novels. This study underscores the picaresque elements in the two classics, and stresses the similarities and points of resemblance between the English and Spanish picaresque novels. Second, this study examines the various stylistic features of Fielding’s narrative technique, and his use of satire to discuss important concepts such as chastity and charity. Third, it attempts to show Fielding’s philosophy of human nature, and to what extent his writing unfolds the basic philosophical characteristics of the 18th century lines of thinking. It concludes, among other things, that no narrative devices are worked out haphazardly or merely for amusement; rather, they are used for both didactic and artistic purposes. In this sense, then, the mark of shame bestowed by earlier critics on Fielding as intrusive narrator is eliminated on the account that his presence within the text is directed for teaching purposes. Goodness in his philosophy consists of the twin virtues of charity and chastity, and the latter is a symbol of the national control of passion.
A Road to Ecocritical Insight in Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse
Authors: Khoshkam Sara , Amiri Mehdi
Published: November 2022

This article is going to study the ecocritical conception in Virginia Woolf’s (1882-1941) novel, To the Lighthouse (TL) (1927). This is an ecocritical reading which uses Lawrence Buell (1939- ) and Derek Wall’s (1965- ) ideas of ecocriticism. Lawrence Buell defined eco-criticism as the study of the relationships between literature and environment in an environmentalist praxis or as a critical insurgency mainly focused on the issue rather than methodology like what cultural studies of identity and body have done. Writers create their works under the influence of environment and nature and a literary work is not created void of nature. Literary works beyond of concepts and contents which are addressed by writers indicate the interaction of human and nature. Wall believes that ecology in particular and the environmental sciences in general have demonstrated how closely one’s species is connected to all other in a web or net of life connections. To the Lighthouse (TL) takes place in a summerhouse near the sea and its main goal is traveling to the Lighthouse amid the sea. There are many natural parts and nature’s elements which are studied in detail to reveal the relation of ecocriticism and literature. This article studies the close relation of man and nature and notes that there is an intimate relation between them. There is a bilateral relation between nature and man; they affect each other in several ways. Woolf’s To the Lighthouse is a good context to portray ecocriticism and green cultural studies. Woolf constructs a remarkable and moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life from the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse.

Authors: Mumba Bryson , Kazonga Eustarckio , Mwanza Jason
Published: November 2022

The study was a comparative analysis of the corporate governance practices and firm financial performances between State-Owned Enterprises and listed firms in Zambia. Using a cross-sectional panel data set covering the period 2002 to 2017, the t-test statistic was employed to compare the corporate governance practices and firm financial performances between unlisted State-Owned Enterprises, listed State-Owned Enterprises and listed private firms. It was found that corparate governance practices and firm financial performances between State-Owned Enterprises and listed firms in Zambia were significantly different. The board sizes for listed firms were statistically significantly less than those of State-Owned Enterprises and the proportion of non-executive directors on the boards of listed firms were also statistically significantly less than those of State-Owned Enterprises. On the other hand the proportion of female directors on listed firms were statistically significantly more than those of unlisted State-Owned Enterprises. In terms of firm financial performance, it was found that the mean of the Return on Total Assets for listed private firms was statistically significantly greater than the mean for unlisted State-Owned Enterprises. There were significant effect sizes in all the measured variables. This was a country specific study that contributed to the empirical knowledge on corporate governance practices and financial performances in State-Owned Enterprises and listed firms. The findings are of interest to researchers, corporate governance practitioners and government policy makers.

Published: November 2022

The study investigated the perceived impact of industrial actions on the academic performance of students in tertiary institutions in Delta State, Nigeria. Three research questions were raised and answered in the study. Two null hypotheses were formulated and tested at a .05 level of significance. A descriptive survey research design was used in the study. Two hundred seventeen students of tertiary institutions in Delta State comprised the sample of the study. A structured questionnaire titled ‘Impact of Industrial Action on Students’ Academic Performance Questionnaire’ (IIASAPQ)’ was used for data collection. Mean and standard deviation, as well as t-test statistics, were used to answer the research questions. The formulated null hypotheses were tested at a .05 level of significance using t-test statistics. The findings revealed that instability in the policies of the government both at the central and state levels, poor welfare and remuneration package of the staff of the various unions, among others, are causes of industrial actions of unions of Nigeria tertiary institutions, and the difference in the mean ratings on the causes of industrial actions of unions of Nigeria tertiary institutions is not significant based on gender. Additionally, lack of interest in school among students, which leads to poor academic performance, reduced and low grades, and poor study habits among students to a great extent are the impact of industrial actions of various unions on the academic performance of students in Nigeria tertiary institutions, and, the difference in the mean ratings on the extent industrial actions impacts academic performance of students in Nigeria tertiary institutions is not significant based on gender. Based on the findings, the study recommended, among others, that the federal government should ensure that there is a smooth and regular dialogue with various unions of tertiary institutions so as to avoid incessant industrial actions. The unions of various tertiary institutions should understand the impact of their industrial action on the academic performance of the students, therefore, seek alternative means of dispute and conflict resolution with the federal government instead of resorting to industrial actions.

Authors: PRASAD NILANJANA , PRASAD DEBANJANA
Published: November 2022

In December 2019, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, first reported pneumonia like symptoms with unknown aetiology caused by a novel coronavirus. The novel coronavirus was renamed as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by Coronaviridae Study Group of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses and the disease was termed as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). As of 19 August, 2022, the infection has reached above 220 countries, areas or territories with a total of 591 683 619 confirmed cases and 6 443 306 deaths, as published by the World Health Organization (WHO). SARS-CoV-2 is strongly contagious as it has R0, 2.2-2.6, in comparison to SARS-CoV (<1) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) (1.4-2.5), respectively. SARS-CoV-2 might become less virulent than the SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, with the currently analyzed mortality of COVID-19 is 3.4%. The original SARS-CoV-2 has undergone “virus evolution” with the occurrence of numerous variants such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta etc. Recently, the circulating variant of concern is Omicron subvariants. Currently, real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction-based detection of the viral genome (RNA) is the gold standard for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. At present, Remdesivir (RDV) and Baricitinib drugs as well as vaccines Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna have been approved for the treatment of COVID-19 by Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this review, we summarized the existing state of knowledge on approved antiviral therapy, combination therapy, blood-derived therapeutics and immunomodulators to treat COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: November 2022

Capture fisheries should be a sustainable economic activity aspect to provide good benefits to future resources. Sustainable marine fisheries resources exploitation requires a utilization rate lower than their availability. Therefore, the exploitation rate should not achieve the recovery ability of the resources in certain time. In fishing activities, for instance, there is a guideline not to catch fish over the Total Allowable Catch (TAC), 80% of the MSY. Information on the potency and the fishing capacity of tuna fisheries can be useful for the sustainable management of the resources. Also, this information can be used as a consideration for further management of the potency. There are two purposes of the study: (1) to analyze the CPUE (catch per unit effort) of demersal fisheries in Kema 2, North Sulawesi, for prediction of their potency, and (2) to analyze the efficiency of fishing capacity of the demersal fisheries in Kema 2, The study was done in two stages. The first was done by analyzing the potency using CPUE method (Shaefer models) to obtain the MSY, optimum effort and TAC (total allowable catch); and the second was done by analyzing the fishing capacity of demersal fisheries using DEA method to estimate the efficiency level of the fishing boats and devices in Kema 2. The result showed that the potency of demersal fisheries in Kema 2 was 71,700 tons per year and the optimum effort was 72,964 trips. Fishing capacity in demersal fisheries occurred in Kema 2 for the last 12 years was inefficient, especially for 2001. This may be caused by some factors such as trip operation, fishing duration, oil consumption, crew and operational cost. So, to manage the demersal resources in Kema 2, the TAC should be 57,520 tons per year. Based on the result, to increase the fishing efficiency, we should take into account of above factors. We suppose that the good means is reducing trip operation, fishing duration, oil consumption, crew and operational cost.

Published: November 2022

Rubella is a highly contagious infection caused by the rubella virus. Mothers who develop rubella early in pregnancy have a 90% chance of transmitting the infection to their unborn babies. Adverse effects on the fetus include stillbirth and congenital rubella syndrome. Pregnant women are not regularly screened for rubella antibodies in government hospitals in Kerala. Therefore, to raise awareness of healthcare providers, it is necessary to collect epidemiological data on the seroprevalence of rubella in this vulnerable group. Several sociodemographic variables as potential predictors of immunity to rubella were also analyzed. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at Govt TD Medical College in Alappuzha, Kerala, of 604 women of childbearing potential who attended the Out patient department of the Obstetrics and gynecology division for the year from June 2016 to June 2017. Rubella-specific IgG (Quantitative) ELISA was done on patients after obtaining informed consent and filling out a questionnaire through direct interview. The test sera were considered seropositive (>15 IU/ml), seronegative (<13 IU/ml), or intermediate (13 -15 IU/ml) as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Rubella seroprevalence in the study group was found to be 73.3%. Around 26.65% were nonimmune to rubella infection. About 27.4% of antenatal cases in the present study were susceptible to rubella. The primigravidae had lower seroprevalence(28.5%) than multigravidae. The percentage of seropositivity was found to increase with age. Our observations show that women of childbearing age are highly susceptible to rubella. High seroprevalence without regular childhood vaccination indicates continued infection transmission of the rubella virus in the community. Hence there is a need for proper sero surveillance in this group who has not been vaccinated, before conception to eradicate CRS and Rubella.

Published: November 2022

Abstract: As With the rapid change in technology, there has been an equally rapid change in the employment trends. Along with the rate of increasing literacy there’s a high number of potential candidates for any job role. Thus, whenever a job posting is made public it tends to attract a lot of attention thus resulting in many responses. This creates a huge workload on the HR department of any company responsible for the hiring process. Our project aims to help solve this problem by proposing the following solution. The HR department can easily filter out candidates based on their performance in the tests set and the cv ranking in accordance with the job posted. The user will be classified into one of the 16 MTBI personality types. This personality classification of the user will be done on the basis of the data found on their social media handles and hence the MTBI personality types of the user will be given according to the probabilities. With this tool the HR can easily shortlist the more suitable candidates easing their selection process and avoid the large amount of time they would have otherwise taken going through the tedious process of reviewing each candidate’s resume and then interviewing them to gauge their personality. The HR department will be able to post any job openings they have on our website where the candidates will apply for them. The HR can also choose to select or reject candidates through our system and the respective message would be sent to the candidate

Published: November 2022

Abstract: Algae are photosynthesis-producing organisms that can be found in freshwater, wastewater, and aquatic environments. In order to get around a number of high-tech barriers in the algae biomass sector, it is necessary to improve the various activities and research. Algae have the potential to supply novel chemicals and bioactive compounds for the biotechnology industry. The abundance of algal diversity must be utilized for various applications. Algal biomass is a source of energy (biofuels), fertilizer, pollution control, stabilization, nutrition, high-value molecules, and various bioactive metabolites that can be investigated for new drugs in terms of their applicability in local and global markets. Microalgae have been widely used for the production of biomass and biofuel. As a result, large-scale experimental setups have been built to produce a lot of biomass and biofuel. Food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries all benefit greatly from microalgae. They also produce numerous biomolecules with added value, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, beta-1,3-glucan, astaxanthin, lutein, phycobiliprotein beta-carotene, and chlorophyll, in addition to the previously mentioned application. The pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and feed, and nutraceutical industries all use these biomolecules extensively commercially. Furthermore, this review focuses specifically on the broad application potential algae based nonenergy applications, such as pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, pigments and cosmetics by marine algae.

Трещиностойкость железобетонных конструкций круглых сечений
Authors: Трёкин Николай , Кодыш Эмиль , Андрян Константин
Published: November 2022

В настоящей работе рассмотрены вопро­сы разработки методики расчёта по образованию трещин нормальных к продольной оси изгибаемых железобетон­ных конструкций круглого сечения без предварительного напряжения арматуры на основе нелинейной деформаци­онной модели с использованием билинейной диаграммы состояния бетона.

Излагаются предпосылки, на основе которых построены теоретические зависимости для определения комплекса внутренних усилий круглого нормального сечения перед об­разованием трещин. На основе стереометрии представлены зависимости для определения усилий в бетоне и арматуре сжатой зоны и усилия в растянутой зоне соответственно для бетона и арматуры. Поскольку аналитически решение системы уравнений с отрицательными и положительными показателями степени представляется затруднительным, рекомендуется провести численные итерационные процес­сы для определения искомых неизвестных: высоты сжатой зоны, максимальных напряжений в бетоне и арматуре сжатой зоны.

Проведённые численные исследования позволили опре­делить величину упруго-пластического момента круглого сечения и выявить его зависимость от прочности бетона.

Неоренессанс и символизм в архитектуре Ливадийского дворца (1909–1911). По чертежам, эскизам и статье Н.П. Краснова, очеркам Г.К. Лукомского
Authors: Слюнькова Инесса
Published: November 2022

Ливадийский дворец Николая II в Крыму яв­ляется выдающимся произведением русского дворцово-пар­кового искусства начала XX века. Между тем эстетический по­тенциал памятника не в полной мере раскрыт в науке. Статья посвящена вопросу художественного стиля дворца, который поднимался и раньше, но не получил убедительных ответов и остаётся предметом дискуссий. Представлена гипотеза о разработке архитектором Н.П. Красновым особого художе­ственного языка, соединяющего историзм и неореннессанс в архитектуре с проблематикой искусства символизма.

Рассматривается несколько аспектов. Выбор стиля авто­ром проекта как обращение к формам и конструкции дворцов Флоренции. Методы работы архитектора с образцами плана античной и ренессансной виллы по теории А. Палладио. Художе­ственная концепция имитации в монументальном здании образа «города палаццо». Стремление к сочетанию классицистических и абстрактных форм архитектуры. Гармония дворца с природой и колористика архитектуры, сближающая её с пейзажной живо­писью художников-символистов. Принцип замещения старого дворца новым и пространственные привязки к старому. Зёрна иррационального в архитектуре нового и более совершенного дворца. Манипуляции со временем посредством архитектуры и семантика образа дворца как отражения личности монарха.

Впервые подробно разбираются ключевые текстовые ис­точники по архитектуре Ливадийского дворца: пояснительная записка Н.П. Краснова, критические замечания историка искусства Г.К. Лукомского.

MALADMINISTRATION AND INTENTIONALITY ON THE CRIMINAL CORRUPTION COURT IN INDONESIA
Authors: Banjo Elstonsius , Fitriasih Surastini , Achjany Zulfa Eva
Published: November 2022

Maladministration and state financial losses have been the basis of the Criminal Court of Corruption’s decision to punish the defendant. Judges' decisions are often based on proven objective facts while subjective facts, including the "intentions" of offenders, are often disregarded even though the principle of criminal responsibility presupposes both objective and subjective aspects as a basis sentencing defendant. As a result, the enforcement of corruption in Indonesia has become a long-standing and polemic issue of justice. This study examines how "intention" is the main element used to determine whether the defendant is guilty under Article 2 and Article 3 of the "PTPK Law" in the Indonesian Corruption Court. The analysis is based on the theory of Criminal Responsibility through the "analytical and critical approach" in which its aim is to avoid "liability without fault" and to ensure that "committed intentionally" is the main element used in decision making regarding corruptor sentencing.

Abstrak: Maladministrasi dan perhitungan riil kerugian keuangan negara telah menjadi dasar Pengadilan Tindak Pidana Korupsi untuk memidana terdakwa sesuai Pasal 2 dan Pasal 3 UU PTPK. Keputusan hakim lebih membuktikan/mempertimbangkan fakta objektif daripada fakta subjektif atau "niat jahat" pelaku atas perbuatan yang dilakukan. Padahal asas pertanggungjawaban pidana mensyaratkan unsur objektif dan subjektif sebagai dasar pengadilan untuk menjatuhkan pidana terhadap terdakwa. Akibatnya, penegakan hukum kasus korupsi di Indonesia menjadi polemik keadilan yang berkepanjangan, terutama terhadap seseorang yang telah dipidana bersalah. Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana “niat jahat" pelaku menjadi unsur utama untuk menyatakan kesalahan atas tindak pidana korupsi pada Pasal 2 dan Pasal 3 “UU PTPK” di Pengadilan Tindak Pidana Korupsi di Indonesia. Analisis didasarkan pada asas dan teori Kesalahan melalui “pendekatan analitis-kritis”. Tujuannya untuk menghindari “pertanggunjawaban pidana tanpa kesalahan”, dan “melakukan dengan sengaja” adalah unsur utama untuk menyatakan kesalahan dan memidana pelaku.Kata Kunci: Maladministrasi, Kesengajaan, Pengadilan Korupsi, Keadilan

Authors: Rodríguez Peña Gilberto Javier , Moreno Almazán Omar
Published: November 2022

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo conocer la influencia de la represión sexual en los deseos sexuales en personas dedicadas a la vida eclesiástica. La metodología se basó en el desarrollo de dos pruebas psicométricas, el inventario de culpabilidad sexual y la escala SDS. Se trató de una muestra no probabilística de 100 personas dedicadas al celibato con un diseño de investigación no experimental-transversal y del tipo correlacional cuantitativo, con edades de 27 años a 78 años como máximo y una media de 52.5 años de los participantes; en los resultados se basaron sobre todo en el sexo de los participantes y su nivel en la labor a la eucaristía; el género masculino mostró más afectaciones en cuanto a la represión sexual que en el género femenino; al mismo tiempo se halló que 93% de los participantes tienen represiones altas, mientras que 100% mostró deseos sexuales altos; las jerarquías de los participantes en el celibato también mostraron afecciones; los rangos más altos padecen deseos más altos debido a las represiones que los de un nivel menor; por último, y con una correlación positiva de 0.594, se determinó que mientras mayor represión exista, más grandes serán los deseos sexuales en la persona. Se concluye que las personas dedicadas al celibato padecerán altas represiones en intento de controlar los deseos sexuales.
Revisiting the Microleakage in Tooth-coloured Sandwich Restorations
Authors: Lee Jian Sheng , Yahya Noor Azlin , Gonzalez Maria Angela Garcia

The placement of glass ionomer cement as lining material below composite fillings was introduced by McLean and Wilson in 1977. This technique incorporated different layers of restorative materials placed onto tooth, similar to layers of a sandwich. It was proposed this technique will provide a molecular seal to dentine in addition to mechanical and aesthetic properties of composite resin. Placement of liner or an intermediate layer underneath the main bulk of restorative materials reduces polymerization shrinkage stress and resultant microleakage of the final restoration. To date, dentine adhesion and polymerization shrinkage are limitations of resin-based restorative materials. At present, wide array of tooth-coloured restorative materials with different formulations is available. Despite advancements in restorative dentistry, no single technique or material is ideal in both clinical effectiveness and simplicity. Clinicians may find themselves in a dilemma when choosing restorative materials and techniques that provide the best clinical results with minimal technique sensitivity or chairside time. The aim of this review is to present existing scientific evidence in microleakage and sandwich technique in restorations, and to discuss multiple approaches in sandwich restorations in effort to reduce microleakage of dental restorations. Clinical recommendations will be given based on evidence from multiple studies.

Maxillofacial fracture is the most common form of injury in trauma patients, especially in patients with motor vehicle accidents. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected various sectors, including restrictions on people's mobility. This study aims to determine the profile of patients with maxillofacial fractures during the COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive observational study was conducted to evaluate maxillofacial fracture patients who came to the Emergency Department of the Head-Neck Surgery Division of the Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital in 2020. Subjects were grouped according to sex, age, month of visit and the mechanism of trauma. The ratio between men and women was 4.92:1. The largest age distribution is in the 11-20 years range, as much as 39.2%. The most distribution based on the month of visit was in February as much as 16.9%. Most trauma mechanisms were due to traffic accidents (90.1%). Most locations in single maxillofacial fractures in maxillary bone were 37.8% and multiple maxillofacial fractures in zygoma bones were 79.4%. Accompanying trauma was found in 73.2% of subjects, with the highest pattern of intracranial trauma as much as 80.8%. The incidence of single maxillofacial fractures was 47.9% and multiple maxillofacial fractures were 52.1%, with concomitant trauma occurring in 73.2% of subjects.

Mortality prediction in surgical intensive care units (SICUs) is considered to be among the most critical steps in enforcing efficient treatment policies. This study aims to evaluate the performance of various deep learning models in predicting the mortality of patients admitted to SICUs. The survival of 2,225 adult patients admitted to SICUs was modeled using five salient deep learning-based survival models, namely, Cox-CC, Cox-Time, DeepSurv, DeepHit, and N-MTLR. The data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care II (MIMIC-II) database. The performance of the models was compared using the time-dependent concordance index (Ctd-index) and integrated Brier score (IBS). From among the five models, DeepSurv achieved the most accurate prediction, while Cox-Time demonstrated the least optimal predictive ability. For DeepSurv, Cox-CC, DeepHit, N-MTLR, and Cox-Time, the mean Ctd -index was 0.773, 0.767, 0.765, 0.732, and 0.659, and the mean IBS was 0.181, 0.192, 0.195, 0.212, and 0.225, respectively. DeepSurv, Cox-CC, and DeepHit yielded comparable performance. Deep learning models are free from the stringent assumptions inherent in standard survival models. Hence, these models are considered flexible alternatives to the standard approaches in scalable, real-world survival problems.

Background and Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated virtual residency interview adoption. The impact of virtual interviews on program directors’ (PD) National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) Match satisfaction, their future interview plans, and their perceptions about virtual interviews’ influence on bias are unknown. We report the results of a survey of family medicine (FM) PDs about these topics after mandatory virtual interviews in 2020-2021.
Methods: A national survey of all FM PDs was conducted in April 2021 (n=619). The response rate was 46.37% (n=287). Questions asked whether PDs conducted virtual interviews, as well as PDs’ general perceptions of virtual interviews’ impact on administrative burden, diversity and bias; PD’s ability to communicate program culture and assess applicants’ alignment with program values; PD’s satisfaction with Match results; and plans for interview structure postpandemic.
Results: Two hundred forty-four (93.1%) respondents performed only virtual interviews; 83.9% (n=220) conducting virtual interviews were satisfied with Match results, with no difference between programs with all virtual interviews vs others (OR 1.2, P=.994). PDs who communicated program values and involved residents in virtual interviews experienced higher Match satisfaction (OR 7.6, P<.001; OR 4.21, P=.001). PDs concerned about virtual interviews increasing bias against minorities before 2020 were still concerned after (OR 8.81, P<.001) and had lower Match satisfaction (OR 0.24, P=.001).
Conclusions: Most FM PDs conducted entirely virtual interviews in 2020 and were satisfied with the Match. Interview processes including residents and conveying residency culture increased Match satisfaction. PDs are concerned about bias in virtual interviews, but more investigation about bias is needed.
What’s Worth Doing in Virtual Recruitment? A Regional Survey of Program Directors and Incoming Interns
Authors: Weidner Amanda , Ormsby Molly , Shih Grace
Published: November 2022

Background and Objectives: In 2020-2021, the Family Medicine Residency Network (FMRN) programs participated in virtual recruitment. We conducted a study to describe the recruitment activities utilized by programs and to identify which of these activities were most and least helpful to both students and the programs.
Methods: In May 2021, we sent an electronic survey to the incoming interns (n=242) asking which recruitment activities they participated in, which were most and least helpful in deciding their rank list, and which most positively impacted their perception of the program. Simultaneously, we surveyed the 43 FMRN program directors (PDs), asking them which virtual recruitment activities they offered, which were most and least helpful in creating their rank list, and which they thought most positively impacted students’ perception.
Results: The 167 intern survey responses (69% response) indicated that virtual interviews and virtual get-togethers with residents were most helpful to deciding rank list order while receiving gifts and meals were least helpful. Websites, bios, and social media positively impacted perception of a program. PDs (79% response) overestimated the importance of the recruitment video and a prerecorded hospital/clinic tour and underestimated the importance of resident-only social interactions to the applicants.
Conclusions: Programs may improve the effectiveness of their virtual recruitment process by maximizing interactions with current residents and creating opportunities for interviews with individuals in different positions across the program. Reducing spending on gifts and meals frees up funds better spent on activities with greater impact such as website improvement and more events for student interaction with current residents.
