The Potential of Positive Obligations Against Romaphobic Attitudes and in the Development of ‘Roma Pride’

The article analyses the jurisprudence of international tribunals on the education and housing of Roma and Travellers to understand whether positive obligations can change the hearts and minds of the majority and promote minority identities. Case law on education deals with integration rather than cultural specificities, while in the context of housing it accommodates minority needs. Positive obligations have achieved a higher level of compliance in the latter context by requiring majorities to tolerate the minority way of life in overwhelmingly segregated settings. Conversely, little seems to have changed in education, where legal and institutional reform, as well as a shift in both majority and minority attitudes, would be necessary to dismantle social distance and generate mutual trust. The interlocking factors of accessibility, judicial activism, European politics, expectations of political allegiance and community resources explain jurisprudential developments. The weak justiciability of minority rights, the lack of resources internal to the community and dual identities among the Eastern Roma impede legal claims for culture-specific accommodation in education. Conversely, the protection of minority identity and community ties is of paramount importance in the housing context, subsumed under the right to private and family life.

Who will get their money back? Victims’ actions for compensation in bank fraud

In the Internet era, banking fraud has become a common way of stealing money. According to victim surveys, this offense has already led to significant numbers of victims. In this article, the authors focus on illegal bank account withdrawals, which are an indication of identity fraud. For this they use data on 636 victims who were surveyed in the LISS panel. Using the concept of ‘capability to act’, as used in the WRR report Why knowing what to do is not enough (2017), the authors model which type of victim takes action to get the stolen amount reimbursed and which type of victim succeeds in doing so. They expect that the less educated and people with low self-control more often refrain from contact with authorities (bank, police) and therefore more often receive no compensation and remain with higher residual damage. The results show that approximately four in five victims of unauthorized bank debits are fully compensated. For the group of victims for whom this is not the case – remaining with residual damage – most of the hypotheses are confirmed.

Social engineering: digital fraud and deception

The prevalence of online crime increases. Social engineering, such as email phishing, is often an important element in an attack. Several interventions have been developed to reduce the success of these types of attacks. The current study investigates whether interventions can help reduce vulnerability to social engineering attacks. The authors investigate which types of interventions and specific elements are most successful. They selected studies with an experimental design that tested at least one intervention. A total of 19 studies with 37 effect sizes, based on a total sample of N=23,146 subjects, were found. The available training courses, intervention materials and effect sizes were analysed. Overall, positive effects of interventions were found. However, there are substantial differences in effect for the different types of interventions. Effective interventions are relatively intensive and have a specific focus. The authors conclude with the design of the best possible intervention given the results of their research.

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) in pregnant women with HIV is associated with adverse maternal and infant outcomes. Previous studies have described a substantial prevalence of subclinical TB in this group, but little is known about the impact of subclinical TB on maternal and pediatric
outcomes.METHODS: The Tshepiso Study recruited 235 HIV-infected pregnant women with TB (and matched HIV-positive, TB-negative pregnant controls), in Soweto, South Africa, from 2011 to 2014. During enrolment screening, some women initially recruited as controls were subsequently
diagnosed with prevalent TB. We therefore assessed the prevalence of subclinical TB, associated participant characteristics and outcomes.RESULTS: Of 162 women initially recruited as TB-negative controls, seven (4.3%) were found to have TB on sputum culture. All seven had negative
WHO symptom screens, and six (86%) were smear-negative. Of their seven infants, one was diagnosed with TB, and three (43%) experienced complications compared to zero infants with TB and 11% experiencing complications in the control group of TB-negative mothers (P = 0.045).CONCLUSION:
We discovered an appreciable prevalence of subclinical TB in HIV-infected pregnant women in Soweto, which had not been detected by screening algorithms based solely on symptoms. Infants of HIV-infected mothers with subclinical TB appear to have a higher risk of adverse outcomes than those
of TB-negative mothers.

BACKGROUND: We investigated health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in Filipino people undergoing TB treatment, and whether HrQoL was negatively impacted by comorbidity with undernutrition, diabetes (DM) and anaemia.METHODS: Adult participants were enrolled in public
facilities in Metro Manila (three sites) and Negros Occidental (two sites). Multivariate linear regression was used to model the four correlated domain scores from a WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (physical, psychological, social, environmental). A forward-stepwise approach was used to select a
final multivariable model with inclusion based on global tests of significance at P < 0.1.RESULTS: In 446 people on drug-susceptible TB treatment, DM and moderate/severe anaemia were not associated with HrQoL. After adjustment for age, sex, education, food insecurity,
treatment adherence, inflammation, Category I or II TB treatment, treatment phase, current side effects and inhibited ability to work, moderate/severe undernutrition (body mass index < 17 kg/m2) was associated with lower HrQoL (P = 0.003) with reduced psychological (coefficient:
−1.02, 95% CI −1.54 to −0.51), physical (−0.62, 95% CI −1.14 to −0.09) and environmental domain scores (−0.45, 95% CI −0.88 to −0.01). In 225 patients with known HIV status in Metro Manila, HIV was associated with modestly reduced HrQoL
(P = 0.014).CONCLUSION: Nutritional status and food insecurity represent modifiable risk factors for poor HrQoL that may be alleviated through interventions.

Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE: To measure the frequency of diseases related to latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and tuberculosis (TB), we assessed the agreement between diagnosis codes for TB or LTBI in electronic health records (EHRs) and insurance claims for the same person.METHODS:
In a US population-based, retrospective cohort study, we matched TB-related Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine–Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) EHR codes and International Statistical Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) claims codes.
Furthermore, LTBI was identified using a published ICD-based algorithm and all LTBI- and TB-related SNOMED CT codes.RESULTS: Of people with the 10 most frequent TB-related claim codes, 50% did not have an exact-matched EHR code. Positive tuberculin skin test was the most
frequent unmatched EHR code and people with the 10 most frequent TB EHR codes, 40% did not have an exact-matched claim code. The most frequent unmatched claim code was TB screening encounter. EHR codes for LTBI matched to claims codes for TB testing; pulmonary TB; and
nonspecific, positive or adverse tuberculin reaction.CONCLUSION: TB-related EHR codes and claims diagnostic codes often disagree, and people with claims codes for LTBI have unexpected EHR codes, indicating the need to reconcile these coding systems.
A comparative study of chemical and physical properties of copper and copper alloys affected by acidic, alkaline and saline environments
Authors: Kaiser Samiul , Kaiser Mohammad Salim
Published: July 2020

Chemical and physical behavior including corrosion performance, thermal conductivity and visual color change of the copper-based alloys brass and bronze have been studied prior and after corrosion in acidic, alkaline and saline media. The concentrations of 0.5 M H2SO4, 0.5 M NaOH and 0.5 M NaCl were used in which copper and copper-alloy samples were immersed and left to corrode at room temperature for 28 days. The experiments were performed prior and after corrosion, using conventional gravimetric measurements accompanied with measurements of thermal conductivity, microstructure and optical properties. The color change of different samples was also studied through tristimulus color parameter (L*, a* and b*) values. It is concluded that the corrosion rate of copper and copper alloys is greater in acidic than in salt and alkaline media. This is due to the extent of disruption of the passive film formed on the surfaces. In the cases of alkaline and salt media, the passive films on the surface remain stable to a large extent. Small increase of thermal conductivity takes place due to formation of a very thin film of oxide and hydroxide bonded to the surface. The environment also affects the color of copper and copper alloys by chemical changes like oxidation and formation of different intermetallics on the surfaces. A microstructural study of experimental materials confirms that corrosion after 28 days results in formation of pores on the surfaces in acidic environment, and passive film that grows thicker on the surfaces in alkaline and saline environments. Aluminum oxide that is more stable than zinc oxide causes better anti-corrosion performance and minimal color variation of bronze compared to brass, especially in acidic environment.
Active noise control system in a fire helmet – a proposal of the solution
Authors: Morzyński Leszek , Szczepański Grzegorz
Published: July 2020

An auditory warning signal emitted by a moving emergency vehicle is intended to inform other road users about an approaching emergency vehicle and the need to give way to it. Emission of a warning signal with the highest possible sound pressure level is the main method of ensuring the audibility and recognition of the warning signal by traffic participants at unknown and varying traffic noise, acoustic insulation of vehicles and noise in the interior of the vehicle. The A-weighted sound pressure level of the auditory warning signal reaching the interior of an emergency vehicle may exceed 90 dB, which can be harmful to the hearing, can adversely affect psychophysical fitness of the crew members and can significantly hinder verbal communication in the vehicle. This article presents the concept and results of numerical simulations of an active noise control system in fire helmets, which will reduce the exposure of the crew to the warning signal and improve the quality of verbal communication in an emergency vehicle. This system is integrated with the signal generation system. The Notch algorithm and the NLMS adaptation algorithm were used in the system's control algorithm. The construction of the controller was based on a microcontroller from the STM32F4 family.

The special clothing for firefighters – the normative requirements and original research results
Authors: Młynarczyk Magdalena
Published: July 2020

The firefighters work in extreme environmental conditions and have to solve a wide variety of problems during their work. These can be rescuing and firefighting actions or removing effects of accidents or natural disasters. In order to protect, not only others but also themselves, they must be focused as much as possible in order to avoid mistakes. Optimal conditions for such work could create so-called thermal comfort, characterized by a thermoneutral state of a body. Lack of thermal comfort can also cause an increased number of mistakes. That is why it is so important to select the right protection and to know the impact of the protective clothing (special clothing) on the thermal sensation of firefighters.
This article presents the requirements for special clothing for firefighters, the results of thermal insulation tests of the above-mentioned clothing and the analysis of thermal sensations of its users (by PMV index).
ICT-based mobile work: new challenges and risks
Authors: Drabek Marcin , Waszkowska Małgorzata
Published: July 2020

Implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in many economy domains results in a rise of new professions and new services, in new forms of employment (e.g., mobile work), in an increase in autonomy and flexibility at work. It encourages workers’ work ability, high effectiveness and innovativeness, which impact business efficiency. However, ICT increase work demands, work overload, role conflict; they result in the need for continual learning, a blurring of the work–life boundary; they are conducive to occupational and social isolation, burnout, Internet addiction, etc. Therefore, prevention measures are required: periodical assessment of the work environment and its impact on workers’ functioning permitting implementation of relevant modifications.

The level of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has become a big topic of research, and improving it using passive ventilation methods is imperative due to the cost saving potentials. Designing lecture buildings to use less energy or Zero Energy (ZE) has become more important, and analysing buildings before construction can save money in design changes. This research analyses the performance (thermal comfort [TC]) of a lecture room, investigate the use of passive ventilation methods and determine the energy-saving potential of the proposed passive ventilation method using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Results obtained showed that air change per hour at a wind velocity of 0.05 m/s was 3.10, which was below standards. Therefore, the lecture hall needs external passive ventilation systems (Solar Chimney [SC]) for improved indoor air quality at minimum cost. Also, it was observed that the proposed passive ventilation (SC) system with the size between 1 and 100 m3, made an improvement upon the natural ventilation in the room. There was a 66.69% increase after 10 years in the saving of energy and cost using Solar Chimney as compared to Fans, which depicts that truly energy and cost were saved using passive ventilation systems rather than mechanical ventilation systems.
Genome-Wide Profiling of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Isolated from EBV-Related Malignancies
Authors: Liu Ying , Lu Zheming , Huang Hongying
Published: July 2020

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is the cause of certain cancers, such as Burkitt lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, NK/T cell lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and a subset of gastric carcinomas. The genome-wide characteristics of EBV are essential to understand the diversity of strains isolated from EBV-related malignancies, provide the first opportunity to test the general validity of the EBV genetic map and explore recombination, geographic variation, and the major features of variation in this virus. Moreover, understanding more about EBV sequence variations isolated from EBV-related malignancies might give important implications for the development of effective prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine approaches targeting the personalized or geographic-specific EBV antigens in these aggressive diseases. In this chapter, we will mainly focus on the EBV genome-wide profiling in three common EBV-related cancers in Asia, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma, EBV-associated gastric carcinoma, and NK/T-cell lymphoma.

Published: July 2020

Background: Intraoperative application of positive end-end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is recommended in mechanically ventilated children since it improves lung mechanics. However, inadequate level of applied pressure can increase risk of barotrauma. Objectives: To assess the impact of titrated PEEP on lung mechanics in mechanically ventilated children under general anaesthesia. Methods: This was an open label, single Tertiary Centre randomized controlled clinical trial. The study population included 70 preschool children, ASA I and II, scheduled for orthopaedic, reconstructive, abdominal or urological surgery. Children with upper respiratory tract infection, allergic to chosen anaesthetics, cardiorespiratory comorbidities were excluded. Patients were randomly assigned either to receive intraoperative PEEP titration form 5 - 11 cmH2O 20 minutes before the end of anaesthesia (intervention group) or to be ventilated until the end of anaesthesia conventionally with a positive end-expiratory pressure of 3 cmH2O (control group). Main outcomes: changes in dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn), peak airway pressure (PIP), mean airway pressure (Paw) between groups at the end of surgery; changes in PIP and Paw during PEEP titration and desaturation in interventional group during PEEP titration. Results: Seventy preschool children were recruited and analysed. Intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure titration improved Cdyn in the intervention group comparing to control (ΔCdy -3.2 vs. 0.63; P < 0.001). PIP and Paw were higher in interventional group (ΔPIP -0.57vs. 0.11; P < 0.001, and ΔPaw -0.63 vs. 0.0; P < 0.001) and desaturation was not observed in interventional group. Conclusions: Stepwise titration of PEEP up to 11 cmH2O improves subsequent lung mechanics without causing of barotrauma.

Objetivo: analisar o cotidiano de equipes de saúde da família no cuidado ao idoso na perspectiva de profissionais. Método: estudo qualitativo fundamentado no referencial teórico do cotidiano de Michel de Certeau. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com 21 profissionais de equipes de saúde da família (médicos, enfermeiros e agentes comunitários de saúde) e analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo temática. Resultados: emergiram duas categorias: “o fazer cotidiano de profissionais de equipes de saúde da família na atenção à saúde do idoso”, que revelou um fazer centrado nas estratégias normatizadas, mas os profissionais usam táticas para incluir idosos em consultas médicas, priorizá-los nas visitas domiciliares e grupos de educação em saúde, fazendo adaptações. A categoria “fluxos de atendimento ao idoso: entre mapas e percursos” descreveu os fluxos de encaminhamento de idosos pela Estratégia Saúde da Família a outros serviços de referência do município e as rupturas nesses fluxos. Conclusão: o cotidiano de trabalho de profissionais de equipes de saúde da família segue as estratégias gerais de atenção à população e não há ações específicas para a população idosa, o que requer novos modos de fazer na atenção ao idoso.

Published: July 2020

Las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) son usadas cada vez más para el desarrollo de prácticas educativas innovadoras en las distintas etapas educativas. El objetivo de la presente investigación es conocer si el profesorado tiene adquiridas las competencias digitales necesarias para desarrollar acciones pedagógicas mediante el enfoque de enseñanza flipped learning. El método de investigación se ha efectuado mediante un diseño no experimental de corte descriptivo y correlacional, fundamentado en una metodología cuantitativa. El instrumento utilizado es un cuestionario ad hoc. La muestra está conformada por 627 docentes. Los resultados muestran que el profesorado no utiliza habitualmente el flipped learning en los procesos formativos, principalmente por la falta de confianza hacia dicha metodología y por presentar un bajo nivel competencial en destrezas tecnopedagógicas digitales. Se concluye que los profesionales de la educación analizados no presentan una adecuada competencia digital para poder aplicar flipped learning debido al deficiente nivel de competencia digital revelado, hecho que conlleva una escasa utilización de dicho método.

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly used for the development of innovative educational practices at different educational stages. The objective of this research is to know if teachers have acquired the digital skills necessary to develop pedagogical actions through the flipped learning teaching approach. The research method has been carried out through a non-experimental descriptive and correlational design, based on a quantitative methodology. The instrument used is an ad hoc questionnaire. The sample is made up of 627 teachers. The results show that teachers do not routinely use flipped learning in training processes, mainly due to the lack of confidence towards said methodology and because they have a low level of competence in digital techno-pedagogical skills. It is concluded that the educational professionals analyzed do not have adequate digital competence to be able to apply flipped learning due to the deficient level of digital competence revealed, a fact that implies a low use of said method.

Some aspects of efficiency of authority of the executive branch of government
Authors: Ermakov Anton Olegovich
Published: July 2020

The subject of this research is the efficiency of authority of the executive branch of government. The author reviews the approaches used in the general theory of law and administrative law towards definition of efficiency, making emphasis on the social aspect of efficiency of legal norms. Leaning on the considered doctrines, the author includes into the structure of efficiency of authority the socially substantiated goal of their realization, which in his opinion consists in ensuring enforcement of right and responsibilities of the citizens and legal entities (the subject of administrative law without authority). Based on the provisions of legislative acts and law enforcement practice, the article examines the organizing principle of authority that allows accomplishing the purpose of authority, determines its possible manifestations, as well as the conditions under which such principle can be implemented. The following conclusions were made: 1) the foundation for determining the efficiency of authority of the executive branch of government consists in their social impact, which is reflected in the level of implementation of the rights and responsibilities by the subjects of administrative law without authority; 2) since the efficiency represents feature of the system, it must be applicable to not to a separate measure of authoritative influence, but their ordered entirety, aimed at ensuring specific rights and responsibilities of the subjects of administrative law without authority; 3) the combination of lawmaking and law enforcement authorities, which in the conditions of their normative consolidation through assistance in exercising rights and responsibilities of private and legal entities, allows aligning private and public interests in various spheres of state administration.  
Interaction between church and state in light of constitutional amendment with the mention of “faith in God”
Authors: Ovchinnikov Aleksei Igorevich , Nefedovskii Gennadii Viktorovich
Published: July 2020

The subject of this research is the constitutional amendment related to mentioning the name of God in the context of interaction between the Russian Orthodox Church and the state in the conditions of establishment of a new postsecular reality. Attention is turned to the new trends in state legal development of Russian and foreign countries, caused by more tolerant and friendly attitude of government institutions to religion. Analysis is conducted on “pros” and “cons” of this amendment from various perspectives: legal values, history of state and law, human rights to liberty of conscience. The objections against this amendment are viewed through the prism of arguments of secularity of the state. Research methodology is based on the axiological, historical and comparative-legal analysis of the problem. The main conclusions consist in the following statements: it is necessary of acknowledge the promptness of constitutional recognition of such value as “faith in God” from the position of the common  unifying idea in terms of the Russian federalism; such amendment would contribute to more effective legal regulation of the religious rights and freedoms; it would regulate state-confessional relations; constitutionalization of religious values leads to insurance of human rights to liberty of conscience, as well as protection of the feelings of believers and religious security of the society. Acceptance of constitutional amendment with the mention of “faith in God” is reasonable and timely; and its placement within the Chapter of “Federal Structure” is justified, although in would be more appropriate in the preamble.

Published: July 2020

The coronavirus disease of 2019 pandemic has disrupted health care, with its far-reaching effects seeping into chronic disease evaluation and treatment. Our tertiary wound care center was specially designed to deliver the highest quality care to wounded patients. Before the pandemic, we were able to ensure rapid treatment by means of validated protocols delivered by a colocalized multidisciplinary team within the hospital setting. The pandemic has disrupted our model’s framework, and we have worked to adapt our workflow without sacrificing quality of care. Using the modified Donabedian model of quality assessment, we present an analysis of prepandemic and intrapandemic characteristics of our center. In this way, we hope other providers can use this framework for identifying evolving problems within their practice so that quality care can continue to be delivered to all patients.

Global change drivers, such as climate change and land use, may profoundly influence body size, density, and biomass of soil organisms. However, it is still unclear how these concurrent drivers interact in affecting ecological communities. Here, we present the results of an experimental field study assessing the interactive effects of climate change and land-use intensification on body size, density, and biomass of soil microarthropods. We found that the projected climate change and intensive land use decreased their total biomass. Strikingly, this reduction was realized via two dissimilar pathways: climate change reduced mean body size and intensive land use decreased density. These findings highlight that two of the most pervasive global change drivers operate via different pathways when decreasing soil animal biomass. These shifts in soil communities may threaten essential ecosystem functions like organic matter turnover and nutrient cycling in future ecosystems.

Several spontaneous mouse mutants with deficits in motor coordination and associated cerebellar neuropathology have been described. Intriguingly, both visible gait alterations and neuroanatomical abnormalities throughout the brain differ across mutants. We previously used the LocoMouse system to quantify specific deficits in locomotor coordination in mildly ataxicPurkinje cell degenerationmice (pcd;Machado et al., 2015). Here, we analyze the locomotor behavior of severely ataxicreelermutants and compare and contrast it with that ofpcd. Despite clearly visible gait differences, direct comparison of locomotor kinematics and linear discriminant analysis reveal a surprisingly similar pattern of impairments in multijoint, interlimb, and whole-body coordination in the two mutants. These findings capture both shared and specific signatures of gait ataxia and provide a quantitative foundation for mapping specific locomotor impairments onto distinct neuropathologies in mice.

Yellow Fever (YF) is an arbovirus endemic in tropical regions of South America and Africa and it is estimated to cause 78,000 deaths a year in Africa alone. Climate change may have substantial effects on the transmission of YF and we present the first analysis of the potential impact on disease burden. We extend an existing model of YF transmission to account for rainfall and a temperature suitability index and project transmission intensity across the African endemic region in the context of four climate change scenarios. We use these transmission projections to assess the change in burden in 2050 and 2070. We find disease burden changes heterogeneously across the region. In the least severe scenario, we find a 93.0%[95%CI(92.7, 93.2%)] chance that annual deaths will increase in 2050. This change in epidemiology will complicate future control efforts. Thus, we may need to consider the effect of changing climatic variables on future intervention strategies.

Body weight is regulated by interoceptive neural circuits that track energy need, but how the activity of these circuits is altered in obesity remains poorly understood. Here we describe the in vivo dynamics of hunger-promoting AgRP neurons during the development of diet-induced obesity in mice. We show that high-fat diet attenuates the response of AgRP neurons to an array of nutritionally-relevant stimuli including food cues, intragastric nutrients, cholecystokinin and ghrelin. These alterations are specific to dietary fat but not carbohydrate or protein. Subsequent weight loss restores the responsiveness of AgRP neurons to exterosensory cues but fails to rescue their sensitivity to gastrointestinal hormones or nutrients. These findings reveal that obesity triggers broad dysregulation of hypothalamic hunger neurons that is incompletely reversed by weight loss and may contribute to the difficulty of maintaining a reduced weight.

Inhibition of mTOR (mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin) signaling by rapamycin promotes healthspan and longevity more strongly in females than males, perhaps because inhibition of hepatic mTORC2 (mTOR Complex 2) specifically reduces the lifespan of males. Here, we demonstrate using gonadectomy that the sex-specific impact of reduced hepatic mTORC2 is not reversed by depletion of sex hormones. Intriguingly, we find that ovariectomy uncouples lifespan from metabolic health, with ovariectomized females having improved survival despite paradoxically having increased adiposity and decreased control of blood glucose levels. Further, ovariectomy unexpectedly promotes midlife survival of female mice lacking hepatic mTORC2, significantly increasing the survival of those mice that do not develop cancer. In addition to identifying a sex hormone-dependent role for hepatic mTORC2 in female longevity, our results demonstrate that metabolic health is not inextricably linked to lifespan in mammals, and highlight the importance of evaluating healthspan in mammalian longevity studies.

Dose-limiting toxicities for cisplatin administration, including ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity, impact the clinical utility of this effective chemotherapy agent and lead to lifelong complications, particularly in pediatric cancer survivors. Using a two-pronged drug screen employing the zebrafish lateral line as an in vivo readout for ototoxicity and kidney cell-based nephrotoxicity assay, we screened 1280 compounds and identified 22 that were both oto- and nephroprotective. Of these, dopamine and L-mimosine, a plant-based amino acid active in the dopamine pathway, were further investigated. Dopamine and L-mimosine protected the hair cells in the zebrafish otic vesicle from cisplatin-induced damage and preserved zebrafish larval glomerular filtration. Importantly, these compounds did not abrogate the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin on human cancer cells. This study provides insights into the mechanisms underlying cisplatin-induced oto- and nephrotoxicity and compelling preclinical evidence for the potential utility of dopamine and L-mimosine in the safer administration of cisplatin.
Use of videos to teach basic science concepts in a doctor of chiropractic training program
Authors: Shaw Kathryn M. , Rabatsky Ali
Published: July 2020

Objective

This study examined the effectiveness of teaching biochemical concepts by video in a doctor of chiropractic training program.

Methods

Students in a biochemistry class were taught the Krebs cycle through a video exercise and glycolysis in a traditional lecture format. They received a review of both concepts and were tested. Test performance was examined. Students answered a questionnaire following the exercise.

Results

There were no significant differences in test performance on the topic learned by the video exercise. However, students felt that both lecture and review were more effective learning tools than video.

Conclusion

Despite the results of other authors, our students preferred traditional didactic lecture with review rather than video. With no difference in test scores observed, the role of videos in our basic science course remains unclear, perhaps only used as an occasional supplement. These results were not expected, given the often-preferred use of technology by current learners.

Published: July 2020

Objective

Cervical spine manipulation is a complex motor skill used to treat musculoskeletal ailments such as neck pain. There is evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of objective feedback and mannequins for the teaching of spinal manipulation (SM) in the thoracic and lumbar spine. This paper examines the effectiveness of an educational intervention combining both mannequins and force-sensing technology for teaching cervical SM.

Methods

Fourth-year chiropractic interns were separated into 2 groups: an intervention group and a group trained with the standard curriculum. The intervention included a 60-minute educational session focused on targeting 100 N total peak force cervical manipulations on mannequins, with objective feedback through force-sensing table technology. Pre- and post-CMs were recorded on both a mannequin and a paired student partner, with an attempt to have a target total peak force of 100 N.

Results

Ninety students were recruited. The invention group (n = 46) scored significantly better at the outcome compared to the control group (n = 44) when manipulating the mannequin (p = .003). These improvements did not carry over when manipulating a paired human partner (p = .067).

Conclusion

Following a 1-hour cervical SM educational intervention utilizing thrusting on mannequins and force-sensing table technology, students demonstrated improved peak force control for SM delivered on the mannequin. However, this improvement was not carried over to SM delivered on human subjects.
