Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is highly relevant learning with a 21st century paradigm and competency framework formulated in the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, where 21st century student outcomes include learning and innovation skills that include creativity and innovation skills, thinking critical, and problem solving skills. , communication and collaboration skills (Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2008). Based on observations of student learning at SMKN 6 Mataram, it shows that student learning outcomes are low (60% of students have not yet completed studying chemistry), and based on a search for alumni in October 2021, the alumni unemployment rate reaches 59.72%, the Project-based learning model (PjBL) is one way to do this. to resolve the issue. The PjBL learning model has a positive influence in improving problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity (Selçuk et al., 2013). This is supported by Miftahurrohmah et al 2021 who said that project-based learning using Zoom Meetings can have a positive influence on creative thinking skills and mastery of concepts. Therefore, it is necessary to train on “The Effectiveness of Project-Based Chemistry Learning on Concept Understanding and Creative Thinking Skills for Vocational Students. The training was held at SMKN 6 Mataram in April 2022. The population in this study were all X grade students of SMKN 6 Mataram in the 2021/2022

academic year. The sampling technique in this training uses the "purposive sampling" technique. The sample to be taken is class X DPIB which uses a project-based learning model. This sampling is based on the material to be tested, namely acid and base. There are two variables in this training, namely the independent variable and the dependent variable. The independent variable is a project-based learning model, where the project used is the identification of acids and bases on several building materials and materials that are often used in everyday life, while the dependent variable is mastery of concepts with six indicators, namely remembering, understanding, and understanding. apply (apply), analyze (analyze), evaluate (evaluate), create (create). and creative thinking skills with indicators of Fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. The type of data used in this training is quantitative data in the form of a Chemistry concept mastery test and a Creative Thinking Test. The effectiveness of the Project-based learning model for students of SMKN 6 Mataram on acid-base material can be determined by taking into account the pretest and posttest scores obtained by students. Based on the data obtained, it shows that project-based learning is effective in increasing students' understanding of concepts with a learning mastery percentage of 78%, and high effectiveness in improving students' creative thinking skills with an N gain of 81.79%.
El marco analítico de la construcción social
Authors: Manosalvas Margarita , Rave Restrepo Juan Camilo
Published: July 2022

En este artículo se presenta el marco analítico de Ingram y Schneider para estudiar el rol explicativo de las construcciones sociales de los grupos meta en el diseño de políticas públicas. Para tal finalidad se realizó una indagación bibliográfica de la aplicación del marco en investigaciones empíricas. Así mismo, se revisaron diversas fuentes primarias de las autoras del marco para sintetizar una versión consolidada, tanto de su estructura como de su operabilidad empírica en el análisis de políticas públicas. Del mismo modo, se dejó abierta la discusión sobre la pertinencia de conectar la categoría de interseccionalidad con la aplicación del marco analítico en investigaciones empíricas. Se concluye que el marco ha logrado notoriedad y enraizamiento, especialmente en el sector de políticas sociales en el contexto académico anglófono, por su capacidad de integrar al análisis de las políticas el papel explicativo de las percepciones, representaciones e interpretaciones de los actores en las fórmulas de distribución de beneficios y restricciones públicas.
Subrepresentación política de pueblos indígenas en Paraguay. A tres décadas del reconocimiento constitucional del derecho a la participación
Authors: Villalba Portillo Sara Mabel
Published: July 2022

Hace tres décadas, por primera vez, una Constitución Nacional en Paraguay incluyó el reconocimiento de los pueblos indígenas y sus derechos, entre ellos el derecho a su participación en la vida política del país que habilitó un canal para la representación política indígena. Sin embargo, a 30 años de la promulgación de la Carta Magna, existe un marcado déficit en el goce efectivo de este derecho, expresado en la nula o escasa representación política indígena en cargos electivos nacionales, regionales o municipales, y en los obstáculos que se interponen para acceder a ella. El objetivo de este artículo es el análisis de la representación política indígena en Paraguay y de los factores legales que la limitan. A partir de una investigación documental de carácter descriptivo, se concluye que la ausencia de mecanismos especiales y los ingentes requisitos para la formación de partidos políticos, como obstáculos para su participación electoral en el país, contribuyen a la subrepresentación de los pueblos indígenas en los ámbitos nacional, regional y local.
Um ministro evangélico no Supremo Tribunal Federal: reações sociais e significados
Authors: Oro Ari Pedro
Published: July 2022

Este texto faz uso metodológico de centenas de reações sociais à iniciativa do presidente Jair Bolsonaro de indicar alguém “terrivelmente evangélico” para uma vaga no Supremo Tribunal Federal, situação que se concretizou com a indicação e posterior nomeação do pastor presbiteriano André Luiz de Almeida Mendonça. Seu objetivo é analisar tanto as referidas reações sociais quanto os significados inscritos na indicação e nomeação de um evangélico na mais alta corte jurídica do país. Argumenta-se no texto que essa indicação representa o coroamento simbólico de uma aliança firmada entre Jair Bolsonaro e a ala evangélica conservadora brasileira.
A Igreja católica e as questões sociais e políticas no Brasil (1950-1960)
Authors: Berkenbrock Volney José , Portella Rodrigo , Carvalho Nilmar de Sousa
Published: July 2022

No Brasil da segunda metade do século XX (1950-1960), a Igreja Católica participou de vários projetos do campo político-social, dentre eles a elaboração de uma proposta de reforma agrária. No entanto, dois detalhes chamam a atenção dos pesquisadores: entender quais eram os interesses da Igreja e se ela influenciou e/ou também foi influenciada pelos movimentos políticos de então. Diante desses fatos, alguns autores, com o intuito de esclarecer as pretensões subjacentes à Igreja, fizeram suas interpretações. O artigo traz à luz tais autores, nomeadamente Thomas Bruneau, Luiz Gonzaga de Souza Lima, Scott Mainwaring e Michel Löwy, e busca dialogar com as teorias levantadas por eles, no intuito de trazer luz à questão das articulações pastorais da Igreja, à época, no campo político e agrário, bem como seus significados.
Mixture Strategies
Authors: Alcalde Bruno
Published: July 2022

This article presents a framework to approach musical hybridity, which is understood generally as any combination of musical identities. The framework focuses on the concepts ofmixture strategies—perceptible processes of interaction and manipulation of styles, genres, and other identity markers. Mixture strategies are recurrent treatments of disparate musical identities in hybrid music, and not only do they definewhatthe materials are, they more fully explorehowthese entities are put together. There are four distinct mixture strategies—clash, coexistence, distortion, and trajectory—and each have peculiar characteristics and significations contingent on their use structurally and contextually.

In the article I define and exemplify each of the four mixture strategies in composers from, or related to, the post-1960s polystylistic concert music such as Alfred Schnittke, George Rochberg, Sofia Gubaidulina, and Peter Maxwell Davies. In these works, hybridity itself is foregrounded, and articulates the musical discourse as much, and oftentimes more so, than other musical parameters. Thus, this repertory proves helpful to demonstrate a general framework that can, and should, be applicable to other hybrid repertories. As I discuss the mixture strategies, I will debate the potential interpretive tropes for each. Then, I apply these ideas in interpreting the entire second movement of Schnittke’s Concerto Grosso no. 1, a work that explores all four mixture strategies. The second movement is then contextualized within the entire concerto.
Three Audiovisual Correspondences in the Main Title forVertigo
Authors: Murphy Scott
Published: July 2022

Saul Bass and Bernard Herrmann provided the visuals and music, respectively, for the main title of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 movieVertigo. These artworks correspond with one another in three ways. First, when aligning two dimensions of visual and pitch brightness, a portion of each artwork moves through this two-dimensional space using a similar path. Second, when arranging some of the tonal materials onto a certain space, these materials transform into each other using transformations similar to those that animate some of the visual designs. Third, under partial enharmonic equivalence, these pitch spaces curl into a partly-closed and partly-open shape that closely resembles manipulated visual forms whose looped closure is partially obscured. The first and third ways shed significant light on the film’s narrative, and the first way in particular parallels the film’s central dramatic form.
Xenakis’ Sieve Theory
Authors: Besada José L.
Published: July 2022

Iannis Xenakis sternly criticized serial music in the mid-fifties. In response, he proposed and developed a set of compositional procedures which were mainly based on probabilistic laws that he framed under the principle of indeterminism. The sieve theory he developed in the sixties represented a return to deterministic strategies for composing. Following examination of Xenakis’ notes and sketches from the period spanning his time auditing Messiaen’s classes to his composition ofNomos Alpha, I argue that sieve theory is better understood when viewed through the lens of his personal earlier speculations on twelve-tone music techniques.
An Idiom of Melodic-Harmonic Divorce
Authors: Reed S. Alexander
Published: July 2022

Within the stratified harmonic behavior known as melodic-harmonic divorce, this paper identifies a gesture repeated idiomatically across rock repertory. Dubbed “sub-circle” motion, this idiom is specifically a form of syntax divorce wherein a melodic layer unfolds in a way consonant with and suggestive of circle-of-fifths root motion (+P4) between two accompanying major chords; however, the harmonic layer’s root instead moves up by a minor third (+m3), creating a stratified dissonance, or divorce. The paper then identifies a standard set of paradigms—specific transpositional instances of the idiom—and catalogues numerous examples of their use in rock music. One paradigm, V-".fn_flat('')."VIIadd9, is the subject of special analytic and historical inquiry, due to its proliferation as a deceptive cadence in the late twentieth century. This previously untheorized cadence is the most prominent instance of the sub-circle idiom.
Emotional Tones and Emotional Texts
Authors: Spreadborough Kristal
Published: July 2022

Vocal tone quality is a highly emotive musical resource in popular vocal songs. However, it is also one of the most difficult aspects to analyze due to the complexity and variety of the voice. This article presents a novel analytical approach to the sung voice by considering how emotion is conveyed through tone quality and text. The aim of the approach is to provide a system for annotating vocal tone quality and for analyzing its emotive content. The approach is informed by findings from psychology, music studies, and the social semiotics of sound—taking into consideration how our everyday experience of voice in communication contributes to our emotional perception of singing. Different modes of annotation, from static annotation to real-time annotation, are demonstrated and two new analytical parameters are introduced: the Affect Map and Cohesiveness. This paper first presents the theoretical underpinnings of the approach, followed by an outline of the approach itself, and finally demonstrates the approach through an analysis of the voice in Kris Kristofferson’s 1970 song “Casey’s Last Ride.”
Codetta and Anthem Postchorus Types in Top-40 Pop from 2010 to 2015
Authors: Stroud Cara
Published: July 2022

In this article, I present two broad types of postchoruses determined according to the rhetorical role of closing material and the particular placement of buildup and climax over the course of the chorus and postchorus. The codetta-type postchorus is characterized as an independent section of music featuring closing material that follows the attainment of closure in the chorus. The anthem-type postchorus is an independent and climactic section of music that follows a building chorus. For this study, 1335 Top-40 songs from 2010 to 2015 were surveyed. Of these songs, 13.3% had a postchorus. Examples discussed in this article include “Roar” by Katy Perry (2013), “Undo It” by Carrie Underwood (2010), “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO (2011), “I Need Your Love” by Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding (2012), “La La La” by Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith (2013), and “Animals” by Maroon 5 (2014).
Estrus Detection in Dairy Cows from Location and Acceleration Data using Machine Learning
Authors: Jahangir Rashid
Published: July 2022

Accurate and timely detection of estrus, in cows, in dairy farms is very important for reproduction, health and milk production. Traditional estrus detection methods like manual observation and chin head chalking are outdated and not suitable for the dairy farm because of large number of animals. A lot of automated estrus detection methods have been proposed like milk yield fluctuation, milk progesterone detection etc., but they are either too complex to implement or have low detection rate. Whereas, the proposed estrus detection method can be easily implemented, cheaply and accurately. This method uses features extracted from 3D acceleration data, obtained using accelerometer attached to cow’s neck. The data is then clustered using k-means into 3 clusters. Categories are assigned based on data variance. As a result, the three clusters are categorized as: low activity, medium activity, or high activity. Based on this information, activity index is calculated and then it is used for the estrus detection. Machine learning classifiers including SVM, and D-trees are used for the activity recognition. SVM and D-tree demonstrate an accuracy of 96% and 86% respectively.

Postprint: Sensitivity to syntactic violation and semantic ambiguity in English modal verbs: A self-paced reading study
Authors: Mifka-Profozic Nadia , O'Reilly David
Published: July 2022

The present study is, to our knowledge, the first self-paced reading experiment to investigate the effects of syntactic violation and semantic ambiguity on processing English modal auxiliaries. Forty undergraduate students, native speakers of English, took part in the study and read 36 target sentences, each containing a modal verb in context. Two of the most frequent English modals, can and may, were used in three distinct categories of modal expression: agent-oriented/ability, epistemic possibility, and speaker-oriented/permission (Bybee et al., 1994). The two modal auxiliaries were manipulated such that they were either congruent or incongruent with the context, or in the case of permission felicitous or infelicitous relative to the context. We found that incongruent modal use in an agent-oriented context resulted in a reading penalty which was observed in a spill-over on the segments following the modal and the lexical verb. Incongruent modal use to express epistemic possibility significantly affected reading times immediately after the modal auxiliary, and also spilt over to the following segments. Reading times in sentences expressing speaker-oriented modality were not affected by inconsistency in the use of the modal verb unmarked for formality in a formal context. The substantive and methodological implications of findings are discussed.
Toward Reframing Brain-Social Dynamics: Current Assumptions and Future Challenges
Authors: Faraji Jamshid , Metz Gerlinde A.S.
Published: July 2022

Evolutionary analyses suggest that the social brain in humans and sociality appeared together. The two fundamental tools that accelerated the concurrent emergence of the social brain and sociality include learning and plasticity. The prevailing core idea is that the primate brain and the cortex in particular became reorganised over the course of evolution to facilitate dynamic adaptation to ongoing changes in physical and social environments. Encouraged by computational or survival demands or even by instinctual drives for living in social groups, the brain eventually learned how to learn from social experience via its massive plastic capacity. A fundamental framework for modeling these orchestrated dynamic responses is that social plasticity relies upon neuroplasticity. In the present article, we first provide a glimpse into the concepts of plasticity, experience, and social experience, and then we acknowledge and integrate the current theoretical concepts to highlight five key intertwined assumptions within social neuroscience that underlie empirical approaches for explaining the brain-social dynamics. We suggest that this epistemological view provides key insights into the ontology of the current conceptual frameworks driving future research to successfully deal with new challenges and possible caveats in favour of the formulation of novel assumptions. In the light of contemporary societal challenges, such as global pandemics, violent conflict, and other human tragedies, discovering the mechanisms of social brain plasticity will provide new approaches to support adaptive brain plasticity and social resilience.
Changes in UK Parental Mental Health Symptoms over 10 months of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Skripkauskaite Simona , Creswell Cathy , Shum Adrienne , Pearcey Samantha , Lawrence Peter J , Dodd Helen Frances , Waite Polly
Published: July 2022

BackgroundThe threats to health, associated restrictions and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have been linked to increases in mental health difficulties for many. Parents, in particular, have experienced many challenges such as having to combine work with home-schooling their children and other caring responsibilities. Yet, it remains unclear how parental mental health has changed throughout the pandemic or what factors may have mitigated or compounded the impact of the pandemic on parents' mental health.MethodsWe examined monthly survey data from two linked UK-based longitudinal studies: COVID-19: Supporting Parents, Adolescents and Children during Epidemics' (Co-SPACE) and COVID-19: Supporting Parents and Young Children during Epidemics' (Co-SPYCE). Data from 5576 parents/carers of 2–17-year-old children collected between April 2020 and January 2021 was analysed using mixed-effect modelling and latent class growth (mixture) modelling.ResultsParental stress and depression, but not anxiety, were higher during the periods of restrictions. This pattern was most pronounced for parents with primary-school-aged children, those that worked at home or had other adults in the household. Being younger, reporting secondary or below education, working out of home, having secondary-school-aged children or children with special education needs (SEN)/neurodevelopmental disorders (ND) further moderated whether, how and when parental mental health symptoms changed. Although around three quarters of parents reported consistently low mental health symptoms, a substantial minority reported consistently high or increasing symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. The latter were more likely to be parents who were younger than average, were a single adult in the household, had a pre-existing mental health diagnosis or had a child with special educational needs or a ND.ConclusionsThese findings emphasise how different personal circumstances and pre-existing inequalities shaped how parents were affected by this unprecedented global pandemic and highlight the need for support and consideration to meet the needs of families in the future.
Relations between perceived affect and liking for melodies and visual designs
Authors: Clemente Ana , Friberg Anders , Holzapfel André
Published: July 2022

Sensory valuation is a fundamental aspect of cognition. It involves assigning hedonic value to a stimulus based on its sensory information considering personal and contextual factors. Hedonic values (e.g., liking) can be deemed affective states that motivate behavior, but the relations between hedonic and affective judgments have yet to be established. To fill this gap, we investigate the relations between stimulus features, perceived affect, and liking across domains and with potentially relevant individual traits. Fifty-eight participants untrained in music and visual art rated their liking and perceived valence and arousal for visual designs and short melodies varying in balance, contour, symmetry, or complexity, and filled several questionnaires. First, we examined group-level relations between perceived affect and liking across domains. Second, we inspected the relations between the individual use of musical and visual properties in judgments of liking and perceived affect—i.e., between aesthetic and perceived-affect sensitivities. Third, we inquired into the influence of information-related (need for cognition, NFC) and affect-related (need for emotion, NFE) traits on individual sensitivities. We found domain-specific effects of the stimulus features on liking, a linear association between valence and liking, the inverted-U model of arousal and liking, a binary profile of musical aesthetic sensitivities, and a modulatory effect of NFC on how people use stimulus properties in their hedonic and affective judgments. In summary, the results suggest that hedonic value is primarily computed from domain-specific sensory information partially moderated by NFC.
Biopsychosocial correlates and individual differences for eliciting moral elevation in veterans with PTSD: An experimental case series
Authors: McGuire Adam P , Nguyen Binh An , Burns Christina , Zambrano-Vazquez Laura , Szabo Yvette
Published: July 2022

Background and Objectives: A promising approach to incorporate positive psychology principles into trauma-focused treatment is moral elevation—feeling inspired by witnessing a virtuous act. This study aimed to explore potential links between inducing moral elevation and relevant outcomes in a series of case examples.Methods: Veterans with probable PTSD completed experimental tasks including a written trauma narrative exercise and watching videos designed to elicit elevation. Participants also completed baseline assessments, repeated measures of trauma-related cognitions, emotions, state elevation, and saliva sample collection. Four individual cases were identified and reviewed: two positive responders (high elevation scores after videos) and two nonresponders (restricted elevation response).Results: Positive responder cases shared a trajectory of decreased cognitions, emotions, and moral injury distress from after the trauma narrative exercise to after elevation exercises, whereas nonresponders reported minimal to no changes. Positive responders also demonstrated decreases in cortisol that continued to decline in a delay period, whereas nonresponders demonstrated increases in cortisol. Additional differences were identified regarding history of experiences and dispositional traits.Limitations: This case series analysis is limited to four participants and does not include a control condition, which limits causal claims. These findings also represent experiences in a controlled laboratory setting; thus, it is unclear if they generalize to daily life for veterans with PTSD.Conclusions: Future work is needed to expand our understanding of whether higher levels of state elevation contribute to changes in biopsychosocial outcomes, and to determine individual factors that indicate who might benefit from elevation-based interventions.
Aperiodic processes explaining rhythms in behavior: A matter of false detection or definition?
Authors: Vinck Martin , Uran Cem , Schneider Marius
Published: July 2022

Behavioral studies suggest attention-related performance fluctuates at a 3-8Hz rhythm (Landau and Fries, 2012; Fiebelkorn et al., 2013). Brookshire (2022) argues that these previous studies failed to distinguish periodic from aperiodic processes, which led to the spurious detection of rhythms. The argument is based on simulations of accuracy time courses (ATCs) by autoregressive models of order 1 (AR(1)), which is a known aperiodic process. Brookshire shows that for this aperiodic process, conventional methods often detect spurious peaks in the 3-8Hz range. Here, we argue that stationary stochastic AR(1) processes are invalid models of ATCs in general as ATCs are deterministic, non-stationary signals. When AR(1) realizations are taken as models for deterministic signals, they do not constitute per definition aperiodic processes. Brookshire’s analyses therefore do not conclusively establish that previous methods indeed detected rhythms spuriously. Furthermore, we show that because Brookshire’s method relies on AR(1) model fits, it can have very low sensitivity when non-rhythmic signals are superimposed onto rhythmic signals. Given these limitations, Brookshire’s conclusion that 0/23 reanalyzed data sets provide evidence for rhythmicity needs to be revisited with alternative methods. Here, we argue that an appropriate model of an ATCs is a deterministic signal (akin to an impulse response or event-related potential) with additive white noise due to random sampling of hits and misses. Such a deterministic ATC can be either periodic or aperiodic. We show that when the deterministic ATC is truly aperiodic, detrending and random sampling lead to spurious rhythm detection. This supports the general point that previous studies did not adequately distinguish periodic from aperiodic processes. In fact, we show that previous methods like Landau and Fries (2012) have much higher false positive ratios than is apparent from Brookshire (2022). Our analysis naturally suggest two effective alternative methods, avoiding the use of AR(1) models.
Did you donate? Talking about donations predicts compliance with solicitations for donations.
Authors: Schröder Joris Melchior , Merz Eva-Maria , Suanet Bianca , Wiepking Pamala
Published: July 2022

Many forms of prosocial behaviour are highly institutionalized. They are facilitated by organizations that broker between donors and recipients. A highly effective tool that organizations use to elicit prosocial behaviour are solicitations for donations (e.g., of blood, time, or money). Using register and survey data on blood donations in the Netherlands, we examine to what extent compliance with these solicitations is predicted by being recruited via word of mouth (WOM) and talking about donations. Our model predicts that donors that are one unit higher on our measure of talking about donations (range = 1-4) have a 2.9 percentage points higher compliance with solicitations for donations. In addition, this association is stronger for novice donors. Our study demonstrates the social embedding of the donors’ decision-making processes about compliance. For practice, our results imply that organizations may increase their contributors’ communication about donations to increase the effectiveness of their solicitations.
The Projection of the Double in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein
Authors: Bhandari Sabindra Raj
Published: July 2022

The objective of this study is to explore the motif of the double in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The double (double goer or alter ego) is the psychic counterpart of a person. Since it stands for psychological projection, it also reveals the darker side of one’s psyche. The monster in Shelley’s novel resembles the double of its protagonist Victor Frankenstein. What Victor cannot show and reflect in the reality has been transformed in the actions of the monster. The monster becomes Victor’s disguises self because it mirrors the deepest psychic instincts of Victor Frankenstein. Likewise, the monster claims that it is Victor’s Adam. Victor’s disguised self has been transferred in every action and dialogue related to the Monster. The whole novel centers around this pivotal point. More than that, the novel implements the narrative structure known as mise en abyme, which imbeds one story within another one. This embedding instantiates the theme of structural double and series of reflections in the novel. The novel implements the paradigm of qualitative research and the concepts of the double as a theoretical lens to expose all these issues of the double in the novel.

Black Men Wanted: Exploring the Situational Factors Related to the Retention of African American Male High School Teachers
Authors: Flores Christopher K. , Cumberland Denise M. , Powers Deborah
Published: July 2022

As the nation’s high school student population becomes increasingly diverse, the lack of minority teachers, particularly African American male teachers, is a concern. This case study of African American male high school teachers in a mid-sized market in the Midwest sought to identify the motivations for teaching, the barriers prior to and during teaching, and the roles these individuals are asked to fill in their schools. Ten individuals participated in semi-structured interviews for which critical race theory served as the theoretical framework. By expanding the conversation on race and racism within the educational system, this research sought to expose what injustices African American male teachers experience, not only during their time in school, but later during their careers as educators. This research gives voice to a silenced minority and increases our understanding to help us address the question, “Where are the Black men?” Finally, recommendations are offered to those serving in human resource administration positions in local school districts.
Advancing Veterinary Medical Education Worldwide: Where Do We Go From Here?
Authors: Maccabe Andrew T.
Published: July 2022

Veterinary medicine is a global public good. A robust system of both public and private veterinary services is essential to protect animal health. Improved animal health leads to global food security and reduces poverty by increasing productivity, controlling transboundary diseases and expanding access to international markets. The quality of veterinary services is directly related to the quality of veterinary medical education, therefore, it is incumbent upon the entire global veterinary medical profession to support programs that improve education around the world.

The University of Gondar College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences (UoG-CVMASc) and the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine (OSU-CVM) developed an objective methodology to assess the curriculum of veterinary institutions and implement changes to create a curriculum that is harmonized with OIE standards while also covering the needs and realities of Gondar and Ethiopia. The process, developed under the sponsorship of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Veterinary Education Twinning Programme, is outlined in this article with the hope that it can be applied by other countries wishing to improve national veterinary services (VS) through the improvement of their academic programs. The plan created by the UoG-OSU Twinning team consisted of an in-depth curriculum assessment and development process, which entailed three consecutive stages. Stage 1 (Curriculum Assessment) included the design and development of an Evaluation Tool for OIE Day 1 Graduating Veterinarian Competencies in recent graduates, and the mapping and evaluation of the current UoG-CVMASc curriculum based on the OIE Veterinary Education Core Curriculum. Stage 2 (Curriculum Development) consisted of the identification and prioritization of possible solutions to address identified curriculum gaps as well as the development of an action plan to revise and update the curriculum. Finally, Stage 3 (Curriculum Implementation) focused on the process to launch the new curriculum. In September 2017, 53 first-year students started the professional program at the UoG-CVMASc as the first cohort to be accepted into the newly developed OIE Harmonized Curriculum, the first of its kind in Africa.

As doenças oftalmológicas podem refletir a presença de doenças sistêmicas em animais. Assim, os especialistas em medicina veterinária devem dominar a técnica do exame de fundoscopia. Para auxiliar na aquisição dessa habilidade, desenvolvemos uma metodologia de ensino utilizando um modelo de baixo custo que permite o exame da retina para ensinar as técnicas de oftalmoscopia direta e indireta em medicina veterinária.
An Entrustable Professional Activities Model for Assessment of Undergraduate Competence in Anesthesia and Surgery: Performance of the Assessment Scheme and the Impact of Assessment Timing and Variation in Structure of Teaching Activities on Student Outcomes
Authors: Langton Sean D. , Blevins Melanie B.
Published: July 2022

An entrustable professional activity (EPA) model was used to assess the anesthesia and surgery competence of year 4 students during elective neutering procedures over 3 academic years (cohort A, cohort B, and cohort C). Two competence thresholds were defined by an expert panel, the minimum acceptable standard (MAS) and the standard expected at the start of final-year rotations (SFR). The assessment scheme performed as expected, and the median level of supervision achieved by students either matched or exceeded the SFR for all EPAs except one, which matched the MAS. Semester of assessment was associated with student performance, with more students in semester 2 achieving the SFR. In the EPAs assessing pain management, documentation, and patient discharge, cohort A was associated with reduced student performance; this could be explained by changes in the delivery of teaching that enhanced performance in subsequent cohorts (academic years). For all EPAs combined and for EPAs 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9, student performance at the SFR was associated with academic year. For all EPAs combined and EPAs 3, 8, and 9, there was a reduction in the proportion of students achieving the SFR threshold in each successive year. At the MAS, the only association for all EPAs combined was with cohort C. This progressive reduction in performance may have been related to the negative effect of decreased time spent at the neutering clinic and loss of feedback opportunities outweighing the positive effects of increased staff:student ratio and improvements in the preparative phases.
Implementing Digital Pathology into Veterinary Academics and Research

Published: July 2022

The advantages of digital pathology (DP) have been recognized as early as 1963, but only within the last decade or so have the advancements of slide scanners and viewing software made the use and implementation of DP feasible in the classroom and in research. Several factors must be considered prior to undertaking the project of implementing the DP workflow in any setting, but particularly in an academic environment. Sustained and open dialogue with information technology (IT) is critical to the success of this enterprise. In addition to IT, there is a multitude of criteria to consider when determining the best hardware and software to purchase to support the project. The goals and limitations of the laboratory and the requirements of its users (students, instructors, and researchers) will ultimately direct these decisions. The objectives of this article are to provide an overview of the opportunities and challenges associated with the integration of DP in education and research, to highlight some important IT considerations, and to discuss some of the requirements and functionalities of some hardware and software options.
Use of 3D Printing Technology to Create a Canine Simulator for Cerebrospinal Fluid Sampling at the Lumbar Subarachnoid Space

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sampling at the lumbar subarachnoid space (LSS) is technically challenging to learn. Currently, training relies on cadaver availability or performance in a clinical scenario. This study aims to develop and validate a low-cost, high-fidelity simulator to train in this technique. Using three-dimensional printing technology, a model of a healthy adult dog’s lumbosacral vertebral column was produced. The model was augmented with synthetic materials and a fluidic system to replicate all procedural steps and permit successful CSF collection. The simulator was validated by four experts, who rated it highly across multiple criteria. Final-year veterinary students were recruited to take part in practical sessions using either the simulator ( n = 16) or a cadaver ( n = 16). Performance was recorded for each student, and feedback was obtained using an anonymous online survey. Student performance was similar between groups ( p = .2), with 87.5% and 68.75% of students in the simulator and cadaver group, respectively, successfully placing the needle into the LSS. All successful students in the simulator group were able to obtain a CSF sample, compared with none in the cadaver group. No difference in the number of attempts was detected between groups ( p > .99), with most students taking more than three attempts. User experience was similar between groups, with 93.8% of students in each group rating the session as a positive learning experience. In summary, we demonstrate the validity of a novel, low-cost, and anatomically precise simulator that can be used for teaching CSF sampling at the LSS.
