Implementing a clinical-educator curriculum to enhance internal medicine residents’ teaching and professional presence
Authors: Habboush Yacob , Stoner Alexis , Torres Claribel , Beidas Sary
Published: June 2019

Background

Physicians-in-training (residents) are typically the primary educators for medical students (MS) during clinical clerkships. However, residents are not formally trained to teach or to assess their teaching. The aim of this study was to assess the implementation of a clinical educator rotation aimed at developing residents’ competencies related to clinical teaching and professional growth.

Methods

A mixed-methods approach was used to develop and assess the clinical educator rotation at a teaching community hospital. Internal medicine residents who participated in the rotation and consented to the research were assigned to the clinical educator trainee group (CET), the remaining residents were assigned to the control group. Osteopathic MS rotating in the medicine service line were invited to participate. Five key assessment tools were developed and used to measure four constructs: Communication, Professional-Based Learning, Professional Engagement and System-based learning. The study used descriptive and qualitative analyses to measure primary and secondary outcomes.

Results

The primary outcome measure showed a positive change in resident knowledge, skills and behaviors in communication, reflection, feedback, precepting, and facilitation. MS perceptions of resident teaching skills confirmed the observed changes in CETs. Some CETs continued to practice and build their capacity for teaching after completing the rotation. Qualitatively, we categorized the described codes under four pre-identified themes; communication, professional engagement, professional-based learning, and systemic-based practice.

Conclusion

Resident teaching and professional capacity is enriched after completing the clinical educator rotation. Other benefits included: enhanced patient communication and education, increased resident confidence, personal satisfaction with training, work life-balance and enhanced career satisfaction. Future research should focus on curricular content, faculty development and delivery assessment. Also, research efforts should identify appropriate emerging technologies to include in the curriculum for enhancing teaching capacity.

Authors: Medina Raquel , Álamo-Arce Daniel David , de Castro Felipe Rodríguez , Fernandez Dario Cecilio , Sandars John , Costa Manuel João
Published: June 2019

Background

Understanding how health sciences students learn to perform clinical examinations is required to inform feedback that improves performance. Self-regulated learning (SRL) is an essential component of effective feedback. The key self-regulated learning processes can be identified using microanalysis. Self-regulated learning microanalysis is increasingly used to assess and inform the training of clinical skills in medical education but there are no studies on the use of self-regulated learning microanalysis to understand the performance of clinical examination by physiotherapy students.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using self-regulated learning microanalysis to understand how physiotherapy students use key self-regulated learning processes while performing a clinical examination.

Method

SRL microanalysis assessed the self-regulated learning processes of second year physiotherapy students of a Spanish university (n= 26) as they performed a goniometric evaluation. An analysis of inter-rater reliability was also performed to evaluate the degree of agreement among raters.

Results

There were differences in the use of key self-regulated learning processes between successful (n= 15: 57.0%) and unsuccessful performers (n= 11: 43.0%), with differences in strategic planning, self-monitoring and the self-evaluation phases. There was good inter-rater reliability for scoring strategic planning (k=0.792), self-monitoring (k=0.946) and self-evaluation (k=0.846).

Conclusion

SRL microanalysis is a feasible approach to identify the key self-regulated learning processes of the performance of clinical examination by physiotherapy students. Further research with larger number of students and a variety of tasks is recommended.
A network approach to understanding obesogenic environments for children in Pennsylvania
Authors: Knapp Emily A. , Bilal Usama , Burke Bridget T. , Dougherty Geoff B. , Glass Thomas A.
Published: June 2019

Network methods have been applied to obesity to map connections between obesity-related genes, model biological feedback mechanisms and potential interventions, and to understand the spread of obesity through social networks. However, network methods have not been applied to understanding the obesogenic environment. Here, we created a network of 32 features of communities hypothesized to be related to obesity. Data from an existing study of determinants of obesity among 1,288 communities in Pennsylvania were used. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to describe the bivariate association between each pair of features. These correlations were used to create a network in which the nodes are community features and weighted edges are the strength of the correlations among those nodes. Modules of clustered features were identified using the walktrap method. This network was plotted, and then examined separately for communities stratified by quartiles of child obesity prevalence. We also examined the relationship between measures of network centrality and child obesity prevalence. The overall structure of the network suggests that environmental features geographically co-occur, and features of the environment that were more highly correlated with body mass index were more central to the network. Three clusters were identified: a crime-related cluster, a food-environment and land use-related cluster, and a physical activity-related cluster. The structure of connections between features of the environment differed between communities with the highest and lowest burden of childhood obesity, and a higher degree of average correlation was observed in the heaviest communities. Network methods may help to explicate the concept of the obesogenic environment, and ultimately to illuminate features of the environment that may serve as levers of community-level intervention.
Two-species hardcore reversible cellular automaton: matrix ansatz for dynamics and nonequilibrium stationary state
Authors: Medenjak Marko , Popkov Vladislav , Prosen Tomaz , Ragoucy Eric , Vanicat Matthieu
Published: June 2019

In this paper we study the statistical properties of a reversible
cellular automaton in two out-of-equilibrium settings. In the first part
we consider two instances of the initial value problem, corresponding to
the inhomogeneous quench and the local quench. Our main result is an
exact matrix product expression of the time evolution of the probability
distribution, which we use to determine the time evolution of the
density profiles analytically. In the second part we study the model on
a finite lattice coupled with stochastic boundaries. Once again we
derive an exact matrix product expression of the stationary
distribution, as well as the particle current and density profiles in
the stationary state. The exact expressions reveal the existence of
different phases with either ballistic or diffusive transport depending
on the boundary parameters.
IN TURKISH LABOUR LAW WORK-LIFE BALANCE REGULATIONS TO PREVENT PARENTAL UNEMPLOYMENT
Authors: YÜCEL BODUR Mehtap
Published: June 2019

The responsibility for the children becomes at the top of a person’s
responsibilities towards his family. In Turkey, often mothers fall outside of
working life to look after their children. Especially in single-parent
families, harmonization of work and family life is difficult and this leads to
either unemployment or inefficiency. Work-life balance means for employees
achieving a balance between job responsibilities, personal and family
responsibilities. Work life and family life’s mutual intervention to each other
reduces the quality of life. It also reduces efficiency and performance. For
this reason, in order to prevent parental unemployment, arrangements to ensure
the work-life balance can help prevent staying home to look after their
children. In this regard, the government, trade unions and employers are all responsible.
In solving this problem, we should look for different perspectives on flexible
working; revise family friendly policies at the community level and must make
new arrangements in this issue. This chapter informs about concepts of
work-life balance and work-life quality which provide work and employee’s
productivity. Maternity leave, paternity leave and parental leave issues in
Turkish labour law are examined in this study. This is followed by
implementation recommendations to policy-makers.

Systemic control of cerebral metastases in a patient with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Clinical case
Authors: Menshikova S. F. , Frolova M. A. , Stenina M. B.
Published: June 2019

Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases are diagnosed in 10–16% of patients with metastatic breast cancer (BC). Half of all these cases are HER2-positive. At present, there are no generally accepted algorithms regarding the combination and sequence of local and systemic treatment options for these patients. According to current guidelines, different local management options remain one of the main treatment methods of brain metastases control. When local treatment is limited, patients with HER2-positive BC with СNS metastases can receive anti-HER2 therapy in combination with chemo- or hormonal therapy (for luminal tumors) or as single option. Trastuzumab poorly penetrates the blood-brain barrier, but trastuzumab-based treatment schedules increase the life expectancy in patients with HER2-positive BC with CNS metastases mainly due to control of extracranial metastases. Lapatinib, by contrast, penetrates the blood-brain barrier well, and its combination with capecitabine achieves response in heavily pretreated patients, especially in those who have central nervous system metastases as the only site of disease progression.

Published: June 2019

Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) is a significant problem of modern Oncology. Until recently, sorafenib was the only drug in the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic HCC. Knowledge of the mechanisms of carcinogenesis and tumor escape from the immune response is the basis for immunotherapy in the treatment of malignant tumors and HCC, in particular. Сlinical trials have shown immunotherapy significantly improves the results of treatment of patients with locally advanced and metastatic HCC with controlled toxicity profile. Currently, nivolumab and pembrolizumab (сheckpoint inhibitors) have been registered as the second line of treatment after progression on sorafenib. Clinical trials are needed to identify optimal combinations of drugs and sequences of their use in different clinical situations.

Published: June 2019

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the most prognostically unfavorable malignant tumors for which an effective targeted inhibitor has not yet been found. Cytotoxic therapy for SCLC has not changed in the last thirty years. Immunotherapy is a fundamentally new method of treatment of malignant tumors, which has proven its effectiveness in various solid tumors. Fundamental prerequisites for the efficacy of immunotherapy in SCLC include a high level of mutational load and paraneoplastic syndromes typical for SCLC (Lambert - Eaton syndrome, etc.), leading to immunization against the tumor; factors that may adversely affect the efficacy of immunotherapy are low levels of PD-L1 expression, low content of T-lymphocytes infiltrating the tumor, and loss of histocompatibility of SCLC antigens by tumor cells. The first studies that studied the efficacy of CTLA-4 inhibitors in the first line of therapy of SCLC and PD-L1/PD-1 inhibitors during progression after the first line showed ambiguous results. However, the study to evaluate the efficacy of athezolizumab (antibody to PD-L1 receptor) in combination with chemotherapy in the first line of SCLC, where for the first time in 30 years in the studies of phase 3 at disseminated SCLC a significant increase in the total survival rate was shown. The study of immune control point inhibitors in SCLC, both localized and disseminated, continues, the prospects of immunotherapy in SCLC are already clearly defined, and further development and improvement in one of the most adverse forms of cancer is expected.

The urgency of the problem of treating patients with lung cancer is caused by a steady increase in the lung cancer incidence and lung cancer mortality rates in population. Most patients with NSCLC initially present with locally advanced or disseminated disease. Currently, simultaneous chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is the standard for the treatment of locally advanced NSCLC, which appears superior to the single chemotherapy or radiation therapy, while the overall survival (OS) rate remains not high enough. Therefore, the search for optimal combinations of chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation therapy (CRT), as well as fractionation regimens is a promising direction in the treatment of such patients. In this article, we will review the on-topic studies data that are currently available, future directions of the therapy and objectives.

Published: June 2019

The present research examined the feasibility of cultivating Chlorella pyrenoidosa in pickle industry wastewater for simultaneous nutrient removal and lipid production. The characteristics of microalgae growth, nutrient removal, lipid accumulation and composition of C. pyrenoidosa cultivated in pickle wastewater with different dilution ratios were investigated. The results showed the maximum algae biomass concentration of 1.57 ± 0.12 g L−1 was achieved in non-diluted pickle wastewater with the highest biomass productivity of 170.65 mg L−1 day−1. Maximum nutrient removal efficiency was observed in 20.0% pickle wastewater with removal rates of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN) and NH4-N at 84.67%, 92.46%, 85.82% and 93.42%, respectively. The lipid content of C. pyrenoidosa growing in pickle wastewater ranged from 29.73% to 31.78%, with a highest lipid productivity of 57.23 mg L−1 day−1. The relative content of triolefinic acids (C16:3 and C18:3) decreased while the monoenoic acids (C16:1 and C18:1) increased synchronously with the pickle wastewater concentration. Unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters were the main components, ranging from 73.04% to 77.6%. The biodiesel properties satisfied the major specifications in US and European biodiesel standards. The results indicated that C. pyrenoidosa is a promising species for nutrient removal together with lipid production in pickle industry wastewater.

A Globally Consistent Stress Testing Approach
Authors: Ellis Colin
Published: June 2019

This paper describes an approach for stress testing banks that is consistent across economies and geographies, in contrast to common “macro scenario” driven approaches. The latter would require economic scenarios to be both equally likely (in a probabilistic sense) and equally stressful (in a conditional loss sense) across countries in order to be comparable. The paper proposes a three-pronged approach for stressing bank solvency, which incorporates recalibrating pre-crisis Basel capital assumptions, adapting the BIS “expected shortfall” approach for securities, and using granular data for income haircuts. Loan losses are quantified using a simple “multiples” approach, starting from expected outcomes, which is derived from the pre-crisis Basel technical proposal. The approach is practical, can be more granular or conducted at a high level, depending on data availability, and offers a simple way for regulators, investors or risk assessors to compare and contrast stresses in different banking systems. Of the eight bank defaults recorded globally during 2017, this approach would have given a better “rank ordering” for seven of them, indicating the approach adds value to traditional solvency metrics.

Kebutuhan masyarakat akan adanya pengiriman informasi dari satu tempat ke tempat yang berbeda sudah tidak dapat dipungkiri lagi. Pada zaman sekarang pengiriman informasi telah dipermudah dengan adanya salah satu fitur dari sebuah smartphone, yaitu SMS (Short Message Service), yang mana dapat menggantikan peran surat dalam bertukar pesan. Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu dan berkembangnya zaman, serta perkembangan yang teknologi semakin canggih, muncul beberapa kekurangan pada SMS. Salah satunya yang paling disorot ialah tingkat keamanan SMS tersebut. Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa zaman sekarang sudah banyak para pengusaha/petinggi/pejabat pemerintahan yang menggunakan SMS untuk bertukar pesan yang sifatnya sangat rahasia. Sehingga telah banyak terjadi pencurian data SMS atau yang sering disebut penyadapan yang membuat tingkat keamanan SMS perlu ditingkatkan. Untuk mengatasi masalah yang telah diuraikan sebelumnya, peneliti berencana untuk merancang dan membuatkan sebuah aplikasi enkripsi dan dekripsi yang akan diimplementasikan untuk aplikasi SMS pada smartphone android. Aplikasi ini digunakan untuk mengirim dan menerima pesan teks pada smartphone berbasis android dengan mengamankan atau menyembunyikan pesan asli. Sehingga, pengirim tidak perlu takut pesannya akan disadap dan diketahui orang lain yang tidak berkepentingan.

Dalam dunia teknologi yang semakin berkembang, diperlukan sistem pencatat otomatis yang dapat mempermudah pihak pertamina dan pihak SPBU, khususnya sistem pencatat saluran tangki bensin pada truck pertamina dengan memanfaatkan arduino dan RFID shield beserta kartu RFID. Dari hasil pengamatan cara pendistribusian bahan bakar dari pusat distribusi PT Pertamina ke berbagai lokasi SPBU beberapa tahun terakhir dan hasil konfirmasi peninjaun lapangan masih terjadi kecurangan- kecurangan yang dilakukan oleh pihak supir pengangkut bahan bakar yang berakibat dapat merugikan pihak SPBU. Agar terciptanya sistem pencatatan elektronik menggunakan sensor kartu pada tangki truck pertamina yang dipasang dan ditempatkan secara rapi dan mudah dioperasikan menjadi perhatian PT Pertamina saat ini sebagai langkah meminimalkan terjadinya kecurangan yang sering terjadi. Dalam perancangan ini sistem pencatatan elektronik pintar, menggunakan electric selenoid valve sebagai pelengkap media penyalur bensin dari truck ke SPBU dan dilengkapi dengan Ardunio sebagai pengatur aliran serta sebagai pemutus aliran dan dibantu oleh NFC Sheild beserta kartu RFID sebagai pendeteksi yang berfungsi menetapkan dapat atau tidaknya bensin dialirkan ke SPBU yang dituju. Dalam sistem ini dilengkapi dengan informasi pemberitahuan berupa adanya lampu peringatan apabila terjadi kartu yang mempunyai data yang tidak berkesesuaian dengan SPBU maka secara pintar system akan menutup aliran sehingga saluran bahan bakar bensin tidak akan terbuka dan apabila data pada kartu berkesesuaian dengan SPBU maka saluran bensinnya terbuka dan lampu hijau hidup.

Sebuah perusahaan memiliki sejumlah agen kios yang sehari-harinya berjualan pulsa dengan perangkat Electronic Data Capture (EDC). Perusahaan tersebut ingin meningkatkan penjualan dengan menambah variasi produk yang dapat dijual dengan cara yang sama yaitu menggunakan perangkat mobile secara online. Sayangnya untuk melakukan pembaruan terhadap aplikasi yang ada di EDC tidak mudah karena membutuhkan pemrograman secara khusus dan aplikasi tersebut harus dipasang ulang satu persatu. Sebuah perusahaan yang memiliki layanan switching penjualan pulsa, token listrik dan pembayaran tagihan (billers) memiliki fasilitas yang memungkinkan pelanggannya membangun aplikasi yang dapat bertransaksi secara online antar server (Host-to-Host/H2H). Fitur tersebut berbasis HTTP dan RESTful services yang memungkinkan pengembang aplikasi lebih fleksibel dengan bahasa pemrograman yang dipilihnya. Dalam penelitian ini akan dikembangkan sebuah aplikasi mobile hybrid yang memiliki koneksi billers menggunakan metode tersebut. Aplikasi mobile hybrid memungkinkan pengembang menambahkan fitur-fitur baru tanpa harus mengubah aplikasi yang ada di perangkat milik pengguna. Hal ini sangat menguntungkan karena produk pembayaran online semakin banyak sehingga penambahan fitur akan sering dilakukan. Selain itu arsitektur mobile hybrid dengan koneksi HTTP dan RESTful service juga dapat digunakan dalam kasus lain yang serupa di mana penyedia layanan menyediakan Application Programming Interface (API) yang berbasis HTTP dan RESTful services.
The Development of Local Ecological Networks in Ukraine: the Example of Lviv Region
Authors: Stoiko Nataliia , Cherechon Oksana
Published: June 2019

The conservation and renovation of biological diversity of territories are of vital importance in Ukraine. The concept of ecological networks has laid the foundation of these issues. In Ukraine, the law “On the ecological network” was adopted, and ecological networks were developed at the regional level. However, most developments do not fully take into account the location of reserved territories and places of concentration of valuable flora and fauna, and also often do not correspond to the principle of formation of a holistic system, which significantly reduces their environmental significance and the expediency of practical implementation. The authors of the article consider that one should estimate the natural potential of the territories in detail and objectively, as well as provide recommendations for practical actions for the renovation of biological and landscape diversity. One can do it in the process of the development of local ecological networks (at the level of separate administrative regions and territorial communities). One has developed the structure of the ecological network on the example of Stryi district of Lviv region and determined the estimation of the spatial connectivity of its crucial elements. The problem is that most of the connecting territories are formed from semi-natural and unnatural lands (hayfields, pastures, arable lands), which complicates the practical side of the project implementation. One needs to develop an effective mechanism to encourage landowners and land users to carry out environmental activities; to increase investments in re-naturalization of lands; to conduct environmental education and environmental public awareness campaign; to provide local government and other stakeholders with consulting services for the development of ecological network development programs at the local level in Ukraine.

Objectives:

To evaluate condylar movement during lateral excursion in individuals with internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using ultrasonic axiography.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 34 patients with internal derangement of the TMJ and 34 participants in the control group were examined. Mandibular functional movement was recorded by ultrasonic axiography. Three-dimensional condylar movement was measured in the working and balancing condyles.

Results:

Significant differences in condylar movement were found between the two groups. In the group with internal derangement of the TMJ, the three-dimensional linear distances of the condylar path in a working condyle were greater than in the control group during lateral excursion. The speed of the balancing condyle in the returning path of lateral excursion was significantly greater in the group with internal derangement than in the control group.

Conclusions:

The results of the present study indicate that internal derangement of TMJ may affect the working and balancing condylar movements during lateral excursion.
Norsk utenrikspolitikk i en varmere verden
Authors: Boe Hornburg Thomas
Published: June 2019

Til tross for at klima omtales som vår tids største utfordring, har konsekvensene av klimakrisen fortsatt en marginal betydning i norsk utenrikspolitikk. Vi analyserer hvordan overgangen til et fornybart energisystem, økt klimamigrasjon, press på oljenasjonen Norges omdømme, og store utfordringer for FN, EU og NATO, vil endre betingelsene for norsk utenrikspolitikk. Vi beskriver hvordan utenrikspolitikken påvirkes i tre fremtidsbilder med henholdsvis rask omstilling (A), sen omstilling (B) og ingen omstilling (C). Det utenrikspolitiske handlingsrommet blir mindre i alle fremtidsbildene. Den viktigste prioriteringen i norsk utenrikspolitikk bør være å hindre dramatiske klimaendringer fordi det vil undergrave norsk velstand, sikkerhet og internasjonal stabilitet. I siste del av artikkelen drøfter vi hvilke konsekvenser klimakrisen bør få for prioriteringer i utenrikspolitikken og for våre viktigste allianser. Vi argumenterer for at klimakrisen gir tunge argumenter for å knytte Norge enda nærmere til EU, og for å samarbeide tettere med Kina.
