Published: December 2018

Tout comme la musique, phénomène circulatoire catégorisé par l’emprunt, le mélange autant que la définition d’esthétiques et d’univers sémantiques fixes, les sociétés créoles présentent l’avantage anthropologique de mettre en relief la complexité des notions d’identité et de culture. Remarquons d’ailleurs que la première sert le plus souvent d’emblème reconnu des secondes dans notre monde hyper-moderne consommateur de biens culturels déterritorialisés. En tant que contribution réflexive à l’étude de la société réunionnaise s’appuyant sur l’expérience d’un étudiant ayant dédié son doctorat à la musique dite « traditionnelle » de cette île française, cet article propose un retour sur quelques présupposés et biais subjectifs ayant orienté une recherche marquée par le sceau de la marginalité, de la déviance et de la résistance aux discours officiels. Après énumération d’éléments autobio-musico-graphiques, plusieurs faits de terrain éclairent la sorte de mécanisme d’acquisition culturelle par lequel l’individu se trouve engagé dans le processus de créolisation réunionnaise.

Published: December 2018

As injúrias sofridas pelos dígitos dos bovinos são altamente dolorosas e, quando não tratadas, levam a sérios problemas sanitários, afetando diretamente a produtividade e o bem-estar dos animais. A prevalência dessas enfermidades já é bem estabelecida em vacas leiteiras, todavia, no gado de corte em varias regiões do país pouco se sabe sobre sua ocorrência. Deste modo, objetivou-se realizar um estudo sobre a ocorrência de doenças podais em bovinos de corte no estado do Pará. Foram utilizados nesse estudo os cascos de 1318 bovinos (1108 fêmeas e 210 machos) advindos de diversos municípios e mesorregiões do estado do Pará, obtidos em um abatedouro localizado em Belém. Após o abate, cada unha foi individualmente examinada para diagnóstico e eventual classificação das doenças. A análise estatística dos dados foi conduzida com base no teste de Qui-quadrado (x2), com nível de significância de 5%, a fim de quantificar e qualificar as lesões podais. Observou-se que 26,25% (346/1318) dos bovinos avaliados apresentavam pelo menos uma lesão em uma das regiões do casco, sendo que nos bovinos criados em lotação contínua as enfermidades dos dígitos mais prevalentes foram a hiperplasia interdigital, doença da linha branca (fissura e abscesso de linha branca) e erosão de talão. A incidência de lesões podais foi maior em fêmeas.
Fratura bilateral em epífise femoral proximal em uma vaca Holandesa

Published: December 2018

Apesar do aumento expressivo das pesquisas em ortopedia veterinária, principalmente voltadas à podologia do locomotor distal, as fraturas em grandes animais são um constante desafio para o médico veterinário. Em relação às afecções do locomotor proximal, pouco se tem publicado principalmente na literatura nacional. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar um caso de fratura em ambas as epífises proximais do fêmur de uma vaca Holandesa, primípara, lactante, com 29 meses de idade, criada em sistema de estabulação livre (free-stall). As fraturas foram do tipo I de Salter-Harris . A causa foi uma excessiva força atribuída sobre o fêmur, provocada por uma queda, após aceitação de monta, em piso escorregadio no momento do retorno da sala de ordenha. Os  achados clínicos e anátomopatológicos foram evidenciados. A importância de um diagnóstico ágil e tomada de decisão rápida foram ressaltados para minimizar o sofrimento do animal.
Frame Innovation
Authors: Dorst Kees
Published: December 2018

How organizations can use practices developed by expert designers to solve today's open, complex, dynamic, and networked problems.

When organizations apply old methods of problem-solving to new kinds of problems, they may accomplish only temporary fixes or some ineffectual tinkering around the edges. Today's problems are a new breed—open, complex, dynamic, and networked—and require a radically different response. In this book, Kees Dorst describes a new, innovation-centered approach to problem-solving in organizations: frame creation. It applies “design thinking,” but it goes beyond the borrowed tricks and techniques that usually characterize that term. Frame creation focuses not on the generation of solutions but on the ability to create new approaches to the problem situation itself.

The strategies Dorst presents are drawn from the unique, sophisticated, multilayered practices of top designers, and from insights that have emerged from fifty years of design research. Dorst describes the nine steps of the frame creation process and illustrates their application to real-world problems with a series of varied case studies. He maps innovative solutions that include rethinking a store layout so retail spaces encourage purchasing rather than stealing, applying the frame of a music festival to understand late-night problems of crime and congestion in a club district, and creative ways to attract young employees to a temporary staffing agency. Dorst provides tools and methods for implementing frame creation, offering not so much a how-to manual as a do-it-yourself handbook—a guide that will help practitioners develop their own approaches to problem-solving and creating innovation.
God & Golem, Inc.
Authors: Wiener Norbert
Published: December 2018

The new and rapidly growing field of communication sciences owes as much to Norbert Wiener as to any one man. He coined the word for it—cybernetics. In God & Golem, Inc., the author concerned himself with major points in cybernetics which are relevant to religious issues.The first point he considers is that of the machine which learns. While learning is a property almost exclusively ascribed to the self-conscious living system, a computer now exists which not only can be programmed to play a game of checkers, but one which can "learn" from its past experience and improve on its own game. For a time, the machine was able to beat its inventor at checkers. "It did win," writes the author, "and it did learn to win; and the method of its learning was no different in principle from that of the human being who learns to play checkers.

A second point concerns machines which have the capacity to reproduce themselves. It is our commonly held belief that God made man in his own image. The propagation of the race may also be interpreted as a function in which one living being makes another in its own image. But the author demonstrates that man has made machines which are "very well able to make other machines in their own image," and these machine images are not merely pictorial representations but operative images. Can we then say: God is to Golem as man is to Machines? in Jewish legend, golem is an embryo Adam, shapeless and not fully created, hence a monster, an automation.The third point considered is that of the relation between man and machine. The concern here is ethical. "render unto man the things which are man's and unto the computer the things which are the computer's," warns the author. In this section of the book, Dr. Wiener considers systems involving elements of man and machine. The book is written for the intellectually alert public and does not involve any highly technical knowledge. It is based on lectures given at Yale, at the Société Philosophique de Royaumont, and elsewhere.
In silico engineering ofPseudomonasmetabolism reveals new biomarkers for increased biosurfactant production
Authors: Occhipinti Annalisa , Eyassu Filmon , Rahman Thahira J. , Rahman Pattanathu K. S. M. , Angione Claudio
Published: December 2018

Background

Rhamnolipids, biosurfactants with a wide range of biomedical applications, are amphiphilic molecules produced on the surfaces of or excreted extracellularly by bacteria includingPseudomonas aeruginosa. However,Pseudomonas putidais a non-pathogenic model organism with greater metabolic versatility and potential for industrial applications.

Methods

We investigate in silico the metabolic capabilities ofP. putidafor rhamnolipids biosynthesis using statistical, metabolic and synthetic engineering approaches after introducing key genes (RhlAandRhlB) fromP. aeruginosainto a genome-scale model ofP. putida. This pipeline combines machine learning methods with multi-omic modelling, and drives the engineeredP. putidamodel toward an optimal production and export of rhamnolipids out of the membrane.

Results

We identify a substantial increase in synthesis of rhamnolipids by the engineered model compared to the control model. We apply statistical and machine learning techniques on the metabolic reaction rates to identify distinct features on the structure of the variables and individual components driving the variation of growth and rhamnolipids production. We finally provide a computational framework for integrating multi-omics data and identifying latent pathways and genes for the production of rhamnolipids inP. putida.

Conclusions

We anticipate that our results will provide a versatile methodology for integrating multi-omics data for topological and functional analysis ofP. putidatoward maximization of biosurfactant production.

Published: December 2018

O glyphosate é o principal herbicida no controle de plantas daninhas na soja. Porém, sintomas de fitointoxicação após a aplicação desse herbicida são relatados na soja RR. Neste contexto os bioestimulantes podem potencializar as atividades metabólicas da planta em função dos biorreguladores, aminoácidos e nutrientes presentes em sua formulação, tornando-se uma alternativa para minimizar os efeitos fitotóxicos do glyphosate. Dessa forma o objetivo deste trabalho foi o conhecer os efeitos do uso de bioestimulantes, derivados de Ascophyllum nodosum, associados ao herbicida glyphosate nos incrementos das características agronômicas da cultura da soja. Para isso, conduziu-se um experimento na safra 2014/15 em Montividiu-GO com treze tratamentos, resultantes da combinação dos bioestimulantes MC Extra, MC Cream e Megafol com o herbicida glyphosate (Roundup Transorb). Os resultados permitiram concluir que a aplicação conjunta, no estádio de cinco trifólios desenvolvidos, do herbicida com o MC Extra e com o Megafol proporcionaram maiores incrementos na produtividade de grãos da soja. Já o MC Cream proporcionou maior produtividade de grãos aos quinze dias após a aplicação do glyphosate. Assim, os bioestimulantes comprovaram o potencial de uso na cultura da soja.

Authors: Toisuta Emanuela Giovanni , Handojo Priska Febrinia
Published: December 2018

This study is about the representation of girl power in Hunger Games trilogy.Hunger Games trilogy shows how women that are represented by the main character “Katniss”, can do what they want regardless others people opinion. It shows that Katniss as the main character lives in a society that does not have roles between man and woman by showing some action through her characterisctics in the story that against the culture and society. She is able to do anything without thinking about what man or woman should do. Thus,this thesis aims at showing girl power characteristics that are being represented by Katniss. Therefore, I will analyze girl power characteristics in Katniss by using girl power concept. Moreover through this analysis, I find that there are some girl power characteristics that are being represented by Katniss. First, she is an independent woman. Second, she is equally depends on her “brains and brawn”. Third, Katniss is a self-determined woman. For the result of the analysis, it can be concluded that Katniss is the representation of girl power that is shown through her action, words, and thoughts.

Pathos consists of happy or satisfactory emotions, disappointed or unsatisfactory emotions, and communicate to the readers directly. Logos consists of facts or research, common-sense information, and value.
Tv World as a Simulation of the Real World in the Game “Persona 4”
Authors: Lawrence Richard
Published: December 2018

Throughout the years RPG games have developed so much to such a way that it is not only a media for playing, but also a media for telling interesting stories based on characters’ interactions. In this study, I observe the process of simulation in the game Persona 4 and how it affects the characters and the over world. With the assumption that the TV world is paralleled to the real one in the sense that they reflect each other and that the characters in the TV world unmask the personalities of the characters in the real world in the way that the TV world version is the representation of the real version’s desire, I would like to analyze the way the TV world acts as an imitation to the real world and how the characters from the TV world unmask the personality of the characters in the real world.  In analyzing the game, I use the theory of simulation and simulacra which was proposed by Jean Baudrillard. In gathering the materials, I play the game and also watch videos of people playing the game in order to get footage and story context which will later be used as proofs. In the analysis I find that social interaction is the main element that makes the TV world parallel to the real world. The parallelism between the TV world and the real world can be seen trough the encounter between the characters from the real world and their counterpart from the TV world.

Aurora: Stereotyping and How It Shapes a Person’s Perspective of His Own and Other People’s Self-Identity
Authors: Siongkowinarto Edwin
Published: December 2018

My screenplay Aurorafollows a couple of high school students Dave and Aurora as they go out on their first date. With Dave being the high school nerd and Aurora being the popular girl, forming a bond obviously would not be easy. However, the story will peel back the layers of these two teenagers to the point that they realize that they are more than what their stereotypes suggest them to be. Since my work’s main idea revolves around stereotyping and how people use it as a way to identify a person’s character, hopefully it can emphasize to the audience the importance of not judging people based on their appearances without knowing them on a personal level. To be more specific, my screenplay will touch on stereotyping and how it shapes the main character Dave’s perspective of his own and other people’s self-identity. For that, I will use Charles Horton Cooley’s Looking Glass-Self theory to showcase its effect on the characters on both physical and psychological level. Set in a couple’s first date, the genre for my work will be teen romance. I see a lot of similarities in the genre’s convention and opposites-attract storyline with my screenplay’s subject matter of stereotyping.

Teenagers are particularly susceptible to conformity and apparently self-confidence plays a significant role in how teenagers make individual choices.Drawing on the relevance between the two, this creative project explores today’s teenagers’ manner on conformity and assesses how teenagers’ self-confidence is related to their decision to conform or not to conform. To understand how self-confidence and conformity relate to each other deeper, I use Herbert Kelman’s theory of the three processes of attitude change in conformity and Mastuti’s theory of self-confidence on self-confidence. This creative project is two plays of 30 minute play which explores about the same issue but is seen from different angle of perspectives. Behind the Mask focuses on how a teenager who has lack of self-confidence conforms to her peer group while Look Me in the Eye focuses on how a teenager who has self-confidence conforms to her peer group.Showing different angle of perspectives help me conveying my purpose of writing the plays which is to help teenagers understand that conformity in daily life is inevitable and how their self-confidence plays an important role so that they will not get influenced by conformity easily.For the genre, the plays use realistic drama as the genre conventions suit the style of my plays which portrays a conflict that happens in teenagers’ daily life in a realistic way.
The Rainbow Land: Exploring How Children Accept Diversity
Authors: Christiani Jossy Vania
Published: December 2018

For years, cases related to intolerence of races, religions, and ethnicities have been used for political weapons in Indonesia. This cases has affected children's point of view and behaviour on diversity around them. In order to help not only children, but also parents and educators to be aware of it, I created a 70 minute play for children that discusses how children tolerate differences. I use Indonesia's folktales characters as my characters, and also use Indonesia as the setting. The first main character of the story, Nawang Wulan, struggles on how she tries to be accepted by her new friends who are different from her. While the other main character, Bawang Merah, insisting on excludes Nawang Wulan from her groups because she feels insecure of Nawang Wulan's differences. At the end of the story, Nawang Wulan finally learns that she has to accept her friends' differences first to be accepted. While Bawang Merah finally learns that even though Nawang Wulan is different, her differences are not a threat for her. I use theory of Diversity and Differences in childhood stageand also the theory of inferiority to justify my characters' behavior towards the conflicts. Through this creative work, I want to raise an awareness that diversity is inevitable, even around children. Therefore, it is better for them to learn how to tolerate it so they can accept it rather than misused it.

Authors: Saifulloh Muh
Published: December 2018

Pelangi Kristuschildren seminaryis a Christian school which runs its educational levels from kindergarten to high school whose curricula and teaching principles are based on biblical perspectives. The competitors of this school are also Christian schools that exist a few meters away, in the same area. Its main problem is the ineffective video that this institution utilizes as a promotional means. To alleviate its promotional video problem, creating one- and two-minute videos which emphasize on independent learners and social excellence are the best solution since this school never makes any short videos that can rebrand its old images. As a result, this company will have such a fresh positive image.

A denial of service (DoS) attack is an attempt to shut down or prevent access to information or services from fulfilling a legitimate request from your computer and its network connection, such as a banking account or online e‐mail account. Often DoS attacks occur when an attacker “floods” a network with endless requests for information, overloading the server.
Population Dynamics
Authors: Danna Daniela
Published: December 2018

Population increase, stability, or decrease are expressions of social forces and human interaction with the environment. Children's social and economic role varies from class to class and presents potential parents with an inverse proportion quandary: an extra member of the group versus the financial difficulties involved in bringing up an extra child, with a lower impact if this latter is put to work young. Children are always the result of procreational decisions as unwanted pregnancies can be responded to with abortions, abandonment, or infanticide. In our species overall population trends are represented by three successive logistic curves. The first point at which the curve begins the logistic trend, raising population levels, is the shift from hunting and gathering to settled agriculture. The second point is the onset of the Industrial Revolution, namely the large‐scale use of fossil fuels, at the origin of modern exponential population growth.
High Culture
Authors: Daenekindt Stijn
Published: December 2018

The terms high culture and popular culture – like their synonyms highbrow and lowbrow culture – imply a hierarchy of cultural forms. A sociological approach to high culture stresses that what qualifies as high culture does not ensue from intrinsic aesthetic superiority. Instead, sociological studies focus on the social origins of the distinction between high culture and popular culture and, in this way, “unmask” high culture by revealing the social processes that attach the claim of superiority to it. Claims of superiority seem at odds with the contemporary emphasis on tolerance for cultural diversity. However, despite trends toward greater tolerance, the category high culture remains of paramount importance to how culture is understood in society.
Bitcoin/Alternative Currencies
Authors: Carroll John M.
Published: December 2018

The development of money – manufactured coins – led to pervasive changes in economic exchange and in the structure of society. Coinage was a successful response to problems of earlier economic paradigms – barter and commodity money, but entrained problems of its own, including hoarding and disinvestment, and diminished social capital through weak ties. Contemporary alternative currencies, including recognition‐based currencies, community currencies, and crypto‐currencies, can be seen as emergent responses to the problems of money.

The entry shows ENT's conceptual links to the general sociological approach of symbolic interactionism as well as its need to develop constructs tapping structural components of social action.
Evolutionary Sociology
Authors: Abrutyn Seth , McCaffree Kevin
Published: December 2018

The emergence of sociology in the nineteenth century was predicated, in part, on evolutionary principles. The effort to make sense of the various societies Europeans had come into contact with through colonization accelerated the effort to establish a science of societies. Though crudely Eurocentric and rooted on poorly conceived ideas about progressive evolutionism, the idea that selection might work on culture and culture might be adaptive for individuals and/or groups remained a part of sociology; even after evolution was marginalized because of its association with social Darwinism and, worse, eugenics. Following the 1960s, evolutionary sociology began a slow but steady resurgence. Though evolutionary sociology remains an eclectic subfield, many of the threads have eschewed the questionable assumptions of nineteenth‐century paradigms and offer promising new directions for the merger of sociology and biology.
Postmodernism
Authors: Albright Julie
Published: December 2018

Postmodernism is at once a critique, a philosophy, and a set of practices developed during the late twentieth century, derived from the fields of sociology, linguistics, and philosophy. Postmodernism (“post” implying after modernism) emerged after World War II as a countervailing theory to the prevailing assumptions and aesthetics coming out of the eighteenth‐century Enlightenment and scientific revolution, with its emphasis on rationalism and empiricism.

Purpose

Surface imaging (SI) offers a nonionizing, near real time alternative to radiographic imaging for intrafraction radiosurgery localization. In this work, we systematically compared a commercial SI system vs a commercial room mounted x‐ray localization system in phantom.

Methods

An anthropomorphic head phantom with fiducial markers was imaged with linear accelerator on‐board x‐ray imaging, SI, and room mounted x‐ray imaging (RM) at ±45° and ±90° couch angles for three different head tilts and six different isocenters (72 total positions). The shifts generated by the three systems were compared as functions of couch angle, head tilt, and isocenter position with the on‐board imaging shifts used as ground truth. Two sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests were used to evaluate equivalence of the groups.

Results

The magnitude of the displacement vectors for RM minus on‐board imaging and SI minus on‐board imaging over all 72 phantom positions were 0.7 ± 0.3 mm for both cases. The RM and SI showed no significant difference based on couch angle or isocenter position. Both systems showed decreasing accuracy with increasing couch angle, but both systems agreed with ground truth to <=1.1 mm at all couch angles. The exaggerated chin‐up head orientation showed significantly different shifts for SI and RM based on increased variance in the SI measurements, although both had submillimeter accuracy on average. The standard deviation of the real time SI displacement vector was <0.06 mm over all measurements, during which the on‐board imaging panels partially blocked the lateral camera pods for half the time.

Conclusions

RM and SI showed similar accuracy over measurements at 72 different phantom positions. SI showed minimal performance loss with camera pods blocked. SI is a feasible option for intra‐fraction radiosurgery localization based on these phantom measurements.
Dramatic Increase of Strength and Ductility in Fe–22Mn–1.0C Twinning‐Induced Plasticity Steel at Elevated Temperature
Authors: Yang Hao Kun , Tian Yan Zhong , Zhang Zhe Feng
Published: December 2018

Tensile properties and microstructural evolutions of Fe–22Mn–1.0C (wt%) twinning‐induced plasticity steel are investigated in the temperature range from 293 to 443 K. An unexpected enhancement of strength and ductility is observed at the elevated temperature of 443 K (≈400 MPa ultimate tensile strength and ≈10% true strain improvements). The twinning capability is still kept stable with the increasing temperature, and the premature fracture is postponed by suppressing dynamic strain aging effect. As a result, the synchronous improvement of strength and plasticity is achieved at high deformation temperature.

Light strongly interacts with structures that are of a similar scale to its wavelength, typically nanoscale features for light in the visible spectrum. However, the optical response of these nanostructures is usually fixed during the fabrication. Phase change materials offer a way to tune the properties of these structures in nanoseconds. Until now, phase change active photonics has used materials that strongly absorb visible light, which limits their application in the visible spectrum. In contrast, Sb2S3 is an underexplored phase change material with a bandgap that can be tuned in the visible spectrum from 2.0 to 1.7 eV. This tuneable bandgap is deliberately coupled to an optical resonator such that it responds dramatically in the visible spectrum to Sb2S3 reversible structural phase transitions. It is shown that this optical response can be triggered both optically and electrically. High‐speed reprogrammable Sb2S3 based photonic devices, such as those reported here, are likely to have wide applications in future intelligent photonic systems, holographic displays, and microspectrometers.

The fabrication, characterization, and therapy efficiency of a noncovalent‐bonded hydrogel network, which is assembled by utilizing cucurbit[7]uril as a supramolecular linker to “stick” superparamagnetic γ‐Fe2O3 nanoparticles onto the polymer backbone of catechol‐functionalized chitosan are described. The unique barrel‐shaped structure of cucurbit[7]uril not only facilitates host–guest recognition with the catechol derivatives, but also forms robust electrostatic interactions between its carbonyl portals and the γ‐Fe2O3 nanoparticles in a supramolecular manner, which leaves the physical and chemical properties of the nanoparticles intact. The γ‐Fe2O3 nanoparticles display vibrational movement and heat generation under an alternating magnetic field, endowing the formed hybrid supramolecular hydrogel with both thermo‐ and chemotherapy modalities, which are demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Here, a facile strategy is introduced to construct noncovalent interactions between a polymer matrix and the incorporated nanoparticles, which is amendable to a wide range of biomedical and industrial applications.

Rolled‐up nanotechnology is an appealing technique that tunes planar films into complex 3D fine structures. The rolling‐up mechanism and methodology of a huge variety of materials and their combinations are summarized, including metals, insulators, traditional semiconductor families, polymers, and recently emerged 2D materials. The basic principles of strain induction, fabrication methods, and technical aspects of rolled‐up nanotechnology are described. The control over the geometry, as well as its deformation, directionality, and chirality are also discussed. Apart from rolling up into tubes or rings, springs, and other 3D complex structures can also be fabricated through this technique. Exploiting novel physical and mechanical properties in these rolled‐up structures has recently inspired numerous applications, including optical resonators, energy storage, drug delivery, gas detection, and environmental decontamination. Such widely applicable and highly tunable 3D architectures open up exciting future opportunities for on‐chip applications.

Rechargeable magnesium/sulfur (Mg/S) batteries are widely regarded as one of the alternatives to lithium‐ion batteries. However, a key factor restricting their application is the lack of suitable electrolyte. Herein, an electrolyte additive that can reduce the polarization voltage is developed and 98.7% coulombic efficiency is realized. The as‐prepared Mg‐ion electrolyte exhibits excellent Mg plating/stripping performance with a low overpotential of 0.11 V for plating process, and high anodic stability up to 3.0 V (vs Mg/Mg2+). When it is coupled with magnesium polysulfide, which has high reactivity and is homogeneously distributed on carbon matrix, the Mg/S cells deliver a good cycling stability with a high discharge capacity over 1000 mAh g−1 for more than 50 cycles.

Little is known regarding the value of computer simulation in endoscopy training in Taiwan. The purpose of the present study was to validate the new computer‐based simulation in preclinical esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) training for novices and the possibility of future credentialing. Three staff‐level, three intermediate‐level (year‐2 gastrointestinal fellows), and three novice‐level (year‐1 GI fellows) endoscopists completed five standardized EGD scenarios on a computer simulator. Their performance scores were recorded for four parameters: total time to reach duodenum (minutes), excessive wall pressure (%), air inflation (L), and maneuvers regarded as inappropriate (%). The endoscopists evaluated various aspects of simulation fidelity compared to live endoscopy. In addition, computer‐recorded performance parameters were assessed by comparing the recorded scores of users on three different experience levels. After the simulator training, the endoscopists completed a questionnaire regarding their opinions on the degree of realism and the feasibility of using this model for training. Only in total time to reach duodenum did the experts outperform the novice group (1.9 minutes vs 4.8 minutes; P = 0.0002). Median scores of the simulator's fidelities demonstrate the aspects of maneuverability and degree of realism to have the same lowest scores of 5 (25%‐75% interquartile range [IQR]: 5‐6). The other parameters have median scores of 6 with 25% to 75% IQR from 5 to 6 to 6 to 7 that are better than the neutral scores of 4. This computer‐based simulator showed “time to reach duodenum” was the only positive validity factor to differentiate among levels of EGD experiences. There was a relatively favorable factor for the degree of realism of the new simulator. Further patient‐based endoscopy training and workplace assessments are needed to validate its applicability in training settings.
