Graduate Student Retention of Prerequisite Course Content
Authors: Tessel Carol , Grover Vikas
Published: January 2021

Although most graduate schools for Speech-Language Pathology require the same core prerequisite classes, there is still variation in class requirements as well as variation in course content. Sixty-one instructors completed a survey regarding what they felt was essential course content from their prerequisite communication sciences and disorders (CSD) classes. This information was used to create a student survey that consisted of 55 multiple choice questions chosen to assess knowledge from eight typically required prerequisite courses. Students preparing to enter their first year of their master’s program were asked to take the survey. Instructors that reported teaching a course in audiology agreed the most on course content. Regarding the student survey, students performed best in the areas of audiology and anatomy and physiology. Students that had a more than two-year gap between undergraduate coursework and their graduate program start date performed significantly worse than those who had a less than two-year gap. The variables of undergraduate major, age, and type of university did not prove significant. Implications for instructors and course content are discussed.
A Comparison of Face-to-Face Versus Online Instruction in the Correct Pronunciation of Anatomical Terms in Communication Sciences and Disorders. An Initial Investigation
Authors: Cralidis Ann , Salley Shannon
Published: January 2021

Accurate pronunciation of anatomical terms in the clinical practice of speech-language pathology (SLP) and audiology (AUD) enables a clinician to express and comprehend a conversation with peers and other professionals. It is also an important component of ensuring patient safety and in providing quality, patient-centered care. To date, no studies have explored whether differences may exist between the pronunciation skills of students who elect to complete a human anatomy and physiology course online versus in a face-to-face (FTF) format. This pilot study explored the ability of 98 undergraduate student participants to correctly pronounce 20 identical key terms that were a part of the course Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech and Hearing Mechanism. Students were enrolled in either an online or a FTF format of this course. Student participants were also asked to self-rate their perceived ability to pronounce these terms correctly using a Likert-type rating scale. The results indicated that students enrolled in the FTF format produced a significantly greater percentage of correct terms and rated their pronunciation ability significantly higher compared to those enrolled online. Performance of both groups was positively correlated to the self-ratings of pronunciation accuracy. These results suggest that an Internet-based, multimedia teaching method that incorporates tools for improving the pronunciation skills of students who complete a human anatomy and physiology course is warranted.
Assessing Outcomes of Simulation in Communication Sciences and Disorders
Authors: Clinard Erin
Published: January 2021

Assessment is an ongoing process that is necessary at every stage of designing, implementing, and evaluating simulation-based learning experiences (SBLEs). Designing and aligning a high-quality assessment process provides instructors and researchers with valuable data to understand if students have met the desired simulation learning objectives, where students are in their learning, and opportunities to enhance the SBLE. This reflection discusses the importance of assessing student learning outcomes as well as the effectiveness of all simulation-based learning experiences (SBLEs) in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). While the benefits and effectiveness of simulation have been demonstrated in other health professions, simulation research is in its beginning in CSD. Building the evidence to inform systematic integration of simulation into CSD curricula and to further best practices in our field is essential. Further, to advance the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in simulation, researchers and instructors must disseminate their findings, measures and tools, assessment processes, and even simulation scenarios. Dissemination serves to enhance evidence-based education practices and further validate the assessment processes we are using to ensure quality simulation.

Published: January 2021

Purpose: Clinical education is a key component of speech-language pathology university curriculum, whereby students have the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills learned in the classroom into a real workplace. However, more recently the availability of high quality, consistent clinical placements and learning experiences across the range of practice areas in the discipline is reducing. Therefore, alternative clinical learning opportunities that enable students to develop skills and competencies are being explored. Recently, replacing clinical time with a simulated learning program has been shown to achieve equivalent levels of clinical competency in speech pathology. However, it is unknown how simulation impacts on student learning in traditional clinical placements. Therefore, this research explored clinical educators’ perceptions of students undertaking clinical placements in their workplace immediately following a five-day simulation-based learning program related to the same area of practice. Method: Thirty-five clinical educators who supervised students in the workplace immediately after they completed the simulation program participated in semi-structured interviews. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using qualitative methods described by Graneheim and Lundman (2004). Result: The analysis identified four key themes related to the impact of students in the workplace, simulation priming students for learning, the importance of the transition from simulation-based learning to the workplace, and the role of simulation in clinical education programs. Conclusion: The use of simulation to support student learning and develop clinical skills and competencies in adult speech pathology practice is supported by workplace clinical educators. However, results of this study suggest that the simulation program needs to be embedded within the curriculum and clinical education program to enhance transition between learning experiences and maximize benefits of learning experiences in real workplace contexts.

The importance of technology entrepreneurship stems from its growing relevance for economic and social development. Managers, whether in companies, tech parks, or startup-related institutions, entrepreneurs, students, researches, public policymakers, among other agents, have got involved with the process of creating and developing new technology-based ventures. Such a dynamic is, however, complex and full of uncertainties. Further, the current literature is usually focused on a single level of analysis, bringing to the arena debates of interest of one or a few of these agents. This book offers a highly transversal approach, touching the subject from the perspective of diverse agents and stimulating an integrated and non-simplistic discussion, whether for students or experienced practitioners. The book marks the 25-year trajectory of the Núcleo de Tecnologia da Qualidade e da Inovação (Technology Center for Quality and Innovation - NTQI / UFMG). We bring the contribution of more than 20 NTQI collaborators, all of them specialists in Technology Entrepreneurship who made all efforts to combine academic rigor with the objectiveness and didactic to properly support practitioners, students, and researches in their involvement with this intricate and multifaced phenomenon. Therefore, the 18 chapters of this work offer diverse perspectives of technology entrepreneurship: from the entrepreneurial action and thought, processes, and methods for new venture creation, passing through the entrepreneurial ecosystems, tech parks, and the perspective of the incumbent companies. Whether for students or practitioners, a reference for an innovative and integrated discussion.

CCL21 is differentially expressed in the lymph nodes of patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). The lymph nodes reside between the breast and the brain. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that CCL21 was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. CCL21 mRNA was present at increased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of CCL21 in primary tumors of the breast was significantly correlated with patient overall survival. Modulation of CCL21 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer. CCL21 may function to support tissue infiltration in brain metastatic breast cancer in humans.
Children’s restorative justice in an intergroup context
Authors: Yang Xin , Wu Zhen , Dunham Yarrow
Published: January 2021

The present study investigated 3- to 6-year-old (total n = 158) children’s restoration behaviors both when they were second-party victims (Experiment 1) and when they were third-party bystanders (Experiment 2) of transgressions. We also explored how group membership (based on color preference) affects these behaviors. We found that children preferred restoration to punishment, and that they emphasized restorative justice not only for themselves but also for others. Furthermore, when they were victims of transgressions, the tendency to choose restoration over punishment was stronger in older than younger children. Second-party restoration behavior was influenced by group concerns in that children treated ingroup transgressors more leniently than outgroup and unaffiliated transgressors, but third-party restoration behavior was not. Our research challenges the view that punishment is the standard response to transgressions and suggests that alternative options like restoration are sometimes preferred over punishment by young children.
Digital shinrin-yoku: Do nature experiences in virtual reality reduce stress and increase well-being as strongly as similar experiences in a physical forest?
Authors: Reese Gerhard , Stahlberg Jasmin , Menzel Claudia
Published: January 2021

Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing refers to a therapeutic, immersive nature experience that aids to improve well-being. The goal of the current research was to compare the effects of a physical versus virtual nature experience on stress, affect, vitality, and restoration. Previous research suggested that an immersive nature experience – such as shinrin-yoku – can be beneficial for health, but direct comparisons between physical and virtual reality (VR) experiences are scarce. In the current study, fifty participants navigated self-paced through a forest scene that was either a physical forest or an immersive VR forest with the same characteristics as the physical one. Before and after the intervention, we measured positive and negative affect, subjective vitality, and perceived daily stress. After the intervention, we measured perceived restorative outcomes. Results revealed that both VR and physical nature experience resulted in expected effects on well-being indicators: Affect was more positive and less negative, subjective vitality increased slightly, and stress decreased slightly after both interventions. There were no significant differences between the two settings on any of the variables, but slightly stronger effect sizes over time within the physical condition. Overall, these findings suggest that immersive VR nature experiences can have restoration effects similar to physical nature experiences, suggesting intervention strategies when physical nature options are scarce.

In general, 15 prospective teachers were of the opinion that it was not so different about the ability to have to become a teacher. Based on the results of the preliminary study, prospective teacher students already know the abilities that need to be possessed to become a teacher and in the implementation of learning students must be active but still not showing knowledge related to knowledge that combines content and pedagogical knowledge. One way to analyze the ability of prospective teacher PCK is through filling in documents consisting of Content Representation (CoRe). The data presented in the form of student response questionnaire analysis related to CoRe in terms of education and language and the results of test the validity and reliability of items. For linguistic aspects of CoRe instrument in general CoRe instrument have very high frequency, meaning that CoRe instrument that have been developed are able to be accepted and used properly by prospective biology teacher students at Muhammadiyah Metro University with a percentage 70%. For educational aspects of the CoRe instrument in general CoRe instrument have very high criteria, meaning that the CoRe instrument that have been developed are able to be accepted and used properly by prospective biology teachers at the Muhammadiyah Metro University with a percentage 73,33%.
A critical evaluation of percussion massage gun devices as a rehabilitation tool focusing on lower limb mobility: A literature review
Authors: Martin Jack
Published: January 2021

Aims In recent years there has been a significant rise in the popularity of muscle gun devices. However, the current research regarding handheld muscle gun devices is unclear. Therefore, this literature review will explore the current literature regarding the effect of muscle gun device on lower limb range of motion, muscle activation, force output and the possibility of reducing delayed onset muscle soreness. Methods Four databases were used along with two academic search engines to search for studies that satisfied the inclusion criteria. To fulfil the inclusion criteria studies had to be of a pre-post design with a focus on the use of percussion massage devices on lower limbs. Studies exploring range of motion and muscle force output were of particular interest. Results Thirty-nine included studies were used in this literature review. It was found that handheld percussive massage devices are the most effective method of increasing lower limb range of motion compared to foam rolling and other self-myofascial protocols. The use of handheld percussive massage devices directly after exercise reduces delayed onset muscle soreness. However, there was no reported significant increase in muscle activation or force output following the usage of a handheld percussive massage device. Conclusion The use of muscle gun devices is recommended as part of a structured warm-up pre-exercise due to an increase in range of motion, reduction in perceived muscle soreness whilst having no negative impact on muscle activation and force output. Muscle guns may also be implemented as part of a rehabilitation programme post injury due to their ability to increase range of motion and reduce perceived pain and muscle soreness.
Shear flow characteristics of densely packed granular material subjected to slow deformations

Published: January 2021

The densely packed assembly of granular materials subjected to slow deformations is studied experimentally in the 2D shear flow apparatus. High speed video camera and subsequent image processing techniques help to document the positions of the particles in the flow. Effective algorithms are formulated to determine the particle rotation, group size and local particle concentrations. Experimental results depict that the consecutive cycles of solid like (jammed) and fluid like (un-jammed) states characterize the flow. The jammed state is represented by negligible mobilization of particles, whereas the un-jammed state is represented by considerable mobilization of particles. The rotational and translational kinetic energy shares their dominancy in the jammed and un-jammed states respectively. Nevertheless, rotational counterpart also increases quite high in un-jammed state. There exists clearly a gradient of translational and rotational velocity across the shear cell especially in the un-jammed state indicating the phenomenon of strain localization. The un-jammed state originates because of the breaking and buckling of few columns near to the inner moving wall as noticed by previous researchers, and the jammed state regenerates once the broken and buckled columns regrouped into new columns. The dilatation phenomenon is found to be associated with the un-jamming states indicated by the drop in the local particle concentrations.

The presence of collapse masses in the subsurface causes severe problems in the geotechnical design activities. In this study, two dimensional Electrical Resistivity Tomography (2D-ERT) synthetic modelling techniques were used to detect collapse masses commonly found in the river bank. Two dimensional (2D) resistivity models are first created utilizing prior information of collapsed masses in the river bank and afterward inverted to reconstruct the resistivity distribution in the subsurface. The resulting two dimensional models exhibits that collapsed masses can be better detected particularly  at low resistivity noise level (2%) than the high noise levels (5% and 10%). The models are particularly very useful prior to executing the field investigations in the river bank sites and furnish the subsurface geology as well as the successful interpretation of the results withconfidence.

Salinity in the groundwater is one of the major concerning issues in the coastal region of Bangladesh. Mirsharai Economic Zone, Mirsharai Upazila in the south-eastern coastal region of Chittagong District of Bangladesh, requires substantial amount of fresh groundwater supply for industrial and household use. The purpose of this study is to delineate the aquifer system of the study area and to determine the extension of potential fresh water aquifer for groundwater development through geophysical electrical resistivity sounding survey. Vertical Electrical Sounding in conjunction with borehole data provides information about the saline-fresh water interface, depth distribution, thickness of the fresh-water aquifers and local lithology. Lithological cross section shows that the sedimentary deposition and aquifer-aquitard distribution of this region are irregular even within a short spatial distance. The surface layer of top soil of clay or silty clay composition identified as aquitard shows resistivity in the ranges from 1.24 Ωm to 11 Ωm. This aquitard is underlain by a sand layer acting as shallow aquifer of varying thickness shows resistivity ranging mostly from 1.9 Ωm to 11Ωm reflecting the pore space water as saline to brackish. A second aquitard is underlain by the shallow aquifer of varying thickness. A deep fresh water aquifer, overlain by the second aquitard, shows resistivity in the range of 16 Ωm to73 Ωm indicating the pore space water as fresh. But the aquifer is interrupted by clay/silty clay layersat the deeper part in the middle portion. This study provides depth to the fresh water aquifer as wellas probable suitable regions for groundwater development.
