Using social media to create a participatory library service: an Australian study
Authors: Smeaton Kathleen , Davis Kate
Published: December 2018

Public libraries are increasingly using social media in an attempt to meet users in their own spaces. Social media can be useful when used to create a participatory library service emphasising engagement with users. However, there has been little empirical investigation into the success of social media use by public libraries. This article reports on the findings of a research project that explored the use of social media by Australian public libraries.

Two organisations participated in case studies that involved interviews, document analysis, and social media observation. To contextualise the use of social media in the case study organisations, a sub-study was undertaken involving observation of an additional 24 public libraries across Australia. This article focuses on the findings from the observation sub-study. It presents and applies a methodology for classifying social media content to determine whether the sample libraries’ social media use is indicative of a participatory approach to service delivery.

This article explores how a range of social media platforms are used by the sample libraries and considers what best practice in participatory library service looks like. The two case study organisations’ use of social media is highlighted as exemplary practice.
A consideration of copyright for a national repository of humanities and social science data
Authors: Grant Rebecca , Bustillo Marta , Webb Sharon
Published: December 2018

In 2011 the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) began work on the development of an interactive national Trusted Digital Repository for contemporary and historical social and cultural data. Copyright and intellectual property rights were identified as essential areas which the DRI, as a content holder and data publisher, needed to investigate in order to develop workflows, policy and the Repository infrastructure. We established a Copyright and IP Task Force (CIPT) in January 2013 to capture and identify IP challenges from our stakeholder community and the DRI’s demonstrator collections. This report outlines the legislative context in which the CIPT worked, and how the CIPT addressed copyright challenges through the development of policies and a robust framework of legal documentation for the Repository. We also provide a case study on Orphan Works, detailing the process undertaken by the Clarke Stained Glass Studios Collection, one of DRI’s demonstrator projects, in preparing their content for online publication in the Repository.
Information literacy and information seeking of public sector managers in the Welsh Government
Authors: Tait Elizabeth , Edwards Robert
Published: December 2018

This paper presents an empirical investigation of information seeking and information literacy of public sector managers in the Welsh Government. A series of 23 two-stage interviews were conducted with managers from a range of grades and departments to determine the levels of awareness and use of the Knowledge and Analytical Services (KAS) and to evaluate information seeking and information literacy of public sector managers. Findings indicated that the managers engage with the information professionals within KAS when embarking on a major project such as developing new legislation or new policy. However, there was a general unfamiliarity with the full range of KAS activities and staff were more likely to seek information themselves when conducting preliminary research and for small scale information needs and that information literacy skills were limited. Our findings suggest that information literacy could be improved within the Welsh Government if services such as the KAS were more closely aligned with operational teams.
Emergence of a new method: The Grounded Delphi method
Authors: Howard Katherine Jane
Published: December 2018

This paper reports on the Grounded Delphi method (GDM), a relatively new methodological extension of the Delphi method, achieved by incorporating aspects of Grounded Theory, as used in a recent doctoral dissertation. The research explored the skills, knowledge, qualities and professional education needs of information professionals in galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM) in Australia, with a view to determining relevant educational requirements to enable information professionals to operate across these blurred cultural heritage boundaries. Implications of using GDM for LIS research, and for research methods in general, is that it improves the rigour of theory building in Delphi studies, while the consensus, or force ranking, aspect of Delphi assists in improving the relevant level of importance of categories derived from Grounded Theory.

papel de Heidegger na transformação dos sentidos da hermenêutica ontológica do século XX
Authors: Pedron Flávio Quinaud , Silva João Paulo Soares e
Published: December 2018

O presente estudo tem por objetivo tratar do papel transformador de Heidegger nas significativas mudanças ocorridas no âmbito da Filosofia e da Hermenêutica no século XX. Essas transformações referem-se à superação do esquema sujeito-objeto através do giro linguístico, que estabelece um vínculo absoluto entre o pensamento e a linguagem, e à criação de uma ontologia fundamental, que passa pela revisão da forma de desenvolvimento da filosofia e opera uma destruição da tradição metafísica na busca de recolocar a questão do ser no centro das discussões filosóficas. A pesquisa se desenvolve por meio de investigação bibliográfica e objetiva abordar a nova visão estabelecida por Heidegger, que dá novo sentido ao método proposto por Schleiermacher e modifica o paradigma até então vigente, terminando por inserir a hermenêutica no plano da faticidade do Dasein (Ser-aí), isto é, na concretude da vida humana. Como ponto hipotético central, traz-se que essa inserção – que visa estabelecer uma maneira de se compreender o ser e comunicar o Dasein – altera sensivelmente os rumos da hermenêutica e da filosofia na medida em que retoma o ponto filosófico fundamental desde os escritos aristotélicos.

Abstract
Hermeneutika as an art include three component. There are text, interpreter, and listener. The role of hermeuneutika explain the text about the writer think. In the process has some problem between the writer and the interpreter byself. The interpreter must known the massage and try to understand the text meaning. According to Muhammad Arkoun and Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd that hermeuneutika can applied in Quran. Alquran was formed by reality, culture and make Quran as a language text. Meanwhile reality, culture and language not loose from the history, because alquran was a history text.

Abstrack: Hermeneutika sebagai seni menafsirkan mengharuskan tiga komponen, yakni teks, penafsir dan penyampaian kepada pendengar. Hermeneutika berperan menjelaskan teks seperti apa yang diinginkan oleh si pembuat teks tersebut. Dalam proses tersebut, terdapat pertentanggan antara pikiran yang diarahkan pada objek dan pikiran penafsir sendiri. Orang yang melakukan interpretasi harus mengenal pesan dan kecondongan sebuah teks, lalu meresapi isi teks dan mengusainya. Mohammad Arkoun dan Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd  yang keduanya sama berpendapat bahwa hermeneutika dapat diterapkan pada Al Qur’an. Al-Quran yang terbentuk melalui realitas, budaya dan terungkapkan dalam bahasa menjadikan al-Quran sebagai teks bahasa. Sedang realitas, budaya dan bahasa itu sendiri tak lepas dari sisi historis yang melingkupinya, karena itu al-Quran juga merupakan teks historis.

Moral character: What it is and what it does
Authors: Cohen Taya R. , Morse Lily
Published: December 2018

Moral character can be conceptualized as an individual’s disposition to think, feel, and behave in an ethical versus unethical manner, or as the subset of individual differences relevant to morality. This essay provides an organizing framework for understanding moral character and its relationship to ethical and unethical work behaviors. We present a tripartite model for understanding moral character, with the idea that there are motivational, ability, and identity elements. The motivational element is consideration of others—referring to a disposition toward considering the needs and interests of others, and how one’s own actions affect other people. The ability element is self-regulation—referring to a disposition toward regulating one’s behavior effectively, specifically with reference to behaviors that have positive short-term consequences but negative long-term consequences for oneself or others. The identity element is moral identity—referring to a disposition toward valuing morality and wanting to view oneself as a moral person. After unpacking what moral character is, we turn our attention to what moral character does, with a focus on how it influences unethical behavior, situation selection, and situation creation. Our research indicates that the impact of moral character on work outcomes is significant and consequential, with important implications for research and practice in organizational behavior.
Moral Character in Negotiation
Authors: Morse Lily , Cohen Taya R.
Published: December 2018

In this article, we discuss the role of moral character in negotiation and identify open questions and promising directions for future scholars to explore. We advance research in this area by introducing a dyadic model of moral character in negotiation, which highlights the joint influence of each party’s moral character on negotiation attitudes, motives, and behaviors. We discuss the implications of our model and conclude that personality science, and especially the study of moral character, has great potential to enhance research and practice in negotiations. Our hope is that this work will accelerate theoretical development and empirical studies that address the question of how moral character influences negotiation processes and outcomes—from pre-negotiation (e.g., planning, selecting negotiating partners) to actual bargaining (e.g., bargaining tactics, concessions) and finally, post-negotiation (e.g., deal implementation, long-term consequences, relationship building and maintenance, reputations)—and provide a springboard for future studies on this topic.
Short Term Electric Load Forecasting of Kathmandu Valley of Nepal using Artificial Neural Network
Authors: Bhandari Binod , Shakya Shree Raj , Jha Ajay Kumar
Published: December 2018

Decision making in the energy sector has to be based on accurate forecasts of the load demand. Short-term forecasting, which forms the focus of this paper, gives a day ahead hourly forecast of electric load. This forecast can help to make important decisions in the field of scheduling, contingency analysis, load flow analysis, preventing imbalance in the power generation and load demand, load switching strategies, thus leading to greater network reliability and power quality. A method called Artificial Neural Network is used to anticipate the future load of Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. The Neural Network is build, trained with historical data along with seven different input variables and used for prediction of day ahead 24 hours load. The output is validated with the real Load collected from NEA. In addition, forecasting is performed by some other time series methods as well, and whose output are compared with that of neural network. The range of Mean Absolute Deviation for four different time series models lied between 1.50-2.59. When the errors were calculated in terms of MSE and MAPE the range of these values were found to be in between 2.59-7.78, and 1.61- 5.07 respectively. The Artificial Neural Network proved to be the more accurate forecast method when the results are compared in terms of error measurements with a MAD having 1.23, MSE having 1.79 and MAPE having 1.17. The Neural Network proved to be more accurate method comparatively with satisfactory minimum error.
Fenološka varijabilnost hrasta lužnjaka (Quercus robur L.) u bosanskohercegovačkom testu provenijencija
Authors: Memišević Hodžić Mirzeta , Ballian Dalibor
Published: December 2018

Ovo istraživanje obuhvaća opažanja fenološke varijabilnosti od 28 provenijencija hrasta lužnjaka u bosansko­hercegovačkom pokusu provenijencija u Žepču. Pokus je baziran na slučajnom blok sustavu sa tri (3) ponavljanja, gdje je svaka provenijencija u svakom bloku predstavljena sa 36 biljaka, osim provenijencija Drvar, Mutnica, Zvornik i Vinac, koje su djelomično zastupljene u pokusu. Proces listanja praćen je tijekom 2012. i 2013. godine, od kraja ožujka do početka svibnja. Praćeno je pet (5) fenofaza listova koje su za hrast kitnjak razradili Derory i dr. (2006.).
Analiza fenoloških faza pokazala je da postoje statistički značajne razlike između ispitivanih provenijencija. Razlike su potvrđene za početak, trajanje i završetak pojedinih fenoloških faza listanja između provenijencija, što ukazuje na genetsku varijabilnost između populacija i zavisnost fenoloških faza od vremenskih uvjeta.
U ovom istraživanju nije bilo moguće napraviti razliku između provenijencija na osnovi najranijeg pojavljivanja faza. Provenijencija Bijeljina nešto ranije ulazi u fazu B u 2012. godini, dok u 2013. godini u fazu B ulazi u isto vrijeme kao i ostale provenijencije. Provenijencija Bosanska Dubica kasni s ulaskom u sve faze u obje godine, i kašnjenje u odnosu na ostale provenijencije u prosjeku iznosi 7-10 dana. S obzirom na lokaciju populacije Bosanska Dubica u planinskim uvjetima možemo pretpostaviti da se radi o kasnoj formi.
Dobiveni rezultati već sada mogu biti korišteni u programu oplemenjivanja hrasta lužnjaka, kao i u očuvanju genetske varijabilnosti uz pomoć in situ i ex situ metoda. Dobivene rezultate treba koristiti za planiranje, repopulaciju i reintrodukciju hrasta lužnjaka u Bosni i Hercegovini. Ovo istraživanje treba nastaviti kako bi se dobila detaljnija slika o fenologiji hrasta lužnjaka i utvrdila eventualna prisutnost ranih i kasnih formi, uzimajući u obzir i učinke klimatoloških uvjeta.

1968 – The Resonant Memory of a Rebellious Year
Authors: della Porta Donatella
Published: December 2018

The year 1968 has been considered a historical moment in the study of protest. What is celebrated on its fiftieth anniversary, as for any historical event, is a particularly specific vision of that year. This article bridges social movement studies with memory studies, arguing that social movement studies should give more attention to how movement events are remembered by subsequent movements. I argue that the memory of 1968 has proven to be selective, contested, and changeable over time. I suggest that, as memories of democratic transitions intertwined with anti-austerity protests, the memories of 1968’s rebellious year acquire a central relevance in times of quick transformation, in which old identities and relations are unsettled and new ones emerge. I explore this through a discussion of current debates on memory distortion, contestation, and fluidity.

Thearticle treated here presents a solution to find the trajectorythat must follow the tool that removes the weeds from the crop,without colliding with the plants of interest. It is based on theimplementation of a search algorithm supported on the A*,technique for determining the path in 3D space with obstacles.As inputs are: the rest point of the tool (), the coordinate ofthe weed () and the coordinates of the objects. Sometimesthe trajectory found produces movements that cause suddendisplacements and strong actions in the actuators, so it is alsopresented, the way to integrate the smoothing of the trajectoryby the Bezier techniques, such that the curve is adjusted to adynamic continuous and appropriate to the elements that makeup the removal system
Off-axis estimation of lay-up orientation in CFRP laminated composites using eddy current testing
Authors: Xu Xiaojuan , Ji Hongli , Qiu Jinhao , Takagi Toshiyuki
Published: December 2018

This paper presents a traditional eddy current testing (ET) method to estimate the off-axis of lay-up in the cross-ply and multidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. The transmitter receiver (TR) probe equipped with two identical circular coils was utilized to scan surface of the CFRPs with artificially induced off-axis layers in different depths. A 2D fast Fourier transform (2D-FFT) was applied to the C-scan experimental images for determining the layer orientation. It was observed that several highlighted lines are located at different directions in the Fourier transform images, which correspond to the higher energy and indicate a periodicity in the corresponding direction. From these images, the layer orientation with a minimum −5° off-axis was measured, and the actual fibers direction 40° can be obtained by subtracted 90° from the frequency angle in the Fourier transform image. Additionally, mechanism of the output signal change caused by the off-axis lamina was analyzed using the finite element (FE) analysis. Numerical results showed that deformation of the space magnetic field occurs because of the redistribution eddy current induced in the off-axis lamina, which implies the possibility to measure and estimate the deviated fibers orientation of the CFRPs using the traditional ET method.
Evaluation of electromagnetic force in tokamak first wall based on magnetic field measurement and inverse analysis
Authors: Wang Kaiqiang , Xie Shejuan , Li Shiyang , Shi Pengpeng , Tian Shuxia , Chen Zhenmao
Published: December 2018

Electromagnetic force due to induced eddy current during plasma disruptions is one of the key design-driving issues for the first wall (FW) in the Tokamak device. In this paper, a method to evaluate the electromagnetic force in the FW is proposed based on inversion of the measured magnetic field. An inversion scheme for reconstruction of eddy current from measured magnetic field is developed based on a newly proposed algorithm that can eliminate the effect of plasma current. To solve this inverse problem, the conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm is adopted in addition with an efficient parameterization strategy of eddy current distribution. To demonstrate the efficiency of the method, a simplified FW plate and plasma current model is considered with the magnetic field simulated with a numerical code of the reduced magnetic vector potential (Ar) formulation. The numerical results show that proper eddy current and electromagnetic force distribution can be predicted even for case of unknown plasma current, which reveals that the proposed method has good potential to be applied to the electromagnetic force evaluation of practical Tokamak problem.

Using Chemometrics and Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy for Discrimination of Poultry Meat and Prediction of Cholesterol Content
Authors: Gąsior Robert , Połtowicz Katarzyna
Published: December 2018

Four calibrations were made for cholesterol content in poultry meat (breasts and legs from chickens, cockerels, capons, and breasts and legs from geese). Standard uncertainties expressed as SECV (%, relative) for chickens, cockerels and capons were 9.2 for breasts and 7.8 for legs. These values for geese were 8.4 and 9.0, respectively. The discriminant method with the highest predictive ability, based on residuals RMSX Residents, was used to classify the samples. Classification accuracy values were good and ranged, on average, from 96.8% to 98%. The NIRS calibrations on cholesterol content in the breast and leg meat of chickens, capons, cockerels, as well as in the breast and leg meat of geese, are suitable for rapid routine analyses to use in practice.

Published: December 2018

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi utjecaj korištenja različitih razina selenom biofortificiranog kukuruza u krmnim smjesama za nesilice na kvalitetu jaja i povećanje sadržaja selena u jajima. Pokusno razdoblje trajalo je 4 mjeseca. U pokusu je korišteno 45 kokoši pasmine hrvatica (crveni soj), a bile su podijeljene u tri skupine (A, C i D). Kokoši skupine A predstavljale su kontrolnu skupinu i konzumirale su krmne smjese komercijalnog sastava, dok su skupine nesilica C i D konzumirale smjese sa selenom biofortificiranim kukuruzom na dvije razine (niža i viša razina selena; 0,2 mg/kg i 0,4 mg/kg krmne smjese). Analizom rezultata utvrđeno je da kukuruz biofortificiran nižom razinom selena u smjesama za nesilice može zamijeniti selen koji se dodaje u premiks. Korištenjem kukuruza biofortificiranog višom razinom selena u hrani kokoši pasmine hrvatica statistički se značajno povećava sadržaj selena u jestivom dijelu jaja (P<0,001), te se pozitivno djeluje na pokazatelje kvalitete jaja (HJ, visinu bjelanjaka, boju žumanjaka, pH bjelanjaka i pH žumanjaka; P<0,05).
Flexible, Focused Training: Keeps Volunteer ambulance officers
Authors: Fahey Christine , Walker Judi , Lennox Grant
Published: December 2018

This paper reports the training findings of the Stand Up and Be Counted Project, a study of Australian and New Zealand Volunteer Ambulance Officers (VAO), the first-line response to medical emergencies in rural and remote areas. VAO are a dwindling resource in regional and rural areas with a great need for such services due their isolation from other health services. The study, financed by Emergency Management Australia, aimed to devise strategies to improve the situation. The project surveyed 2,500 VAO from Western Australia, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, Northern Territory, South Australia and New Zealand's North and South islands. This research has a wider application for other emergency services as they undergo similar changes and pressures related to training volunteers under the new Australian Quality Training Framework. The new framework has increased the training and accreditation requirements for many volunteers, and anecdotal evidence before the research suggested that too much training was a disincentive for VAO, making it difficult for ambulance services to recruit or retain volunteers. Our research confirmed that training is important for VAO. The polarization in some responses were considered to have three causes: different training systems per jurisdiction; different levels of isolation and other regionalisation factors meant some units were better serviced than others; and individuals had different expectations and capacities. However the study found that as long as VAO are protected from excessive and onerous bureaucratic processes, and provided with quality training, a competency-based training with national standards is not a disincentive. If done well, training will be a strategic recruitment and retention tool by increasing the confidence and sense of achievement VAO feel.
Oxygen for Reducing Nausea and Vomiting during Emergency Ambulance Tansportation: A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials
Authors: Smith Erin
Published: December 2018

Objective

To determine the effectiveness of oxygen in decreasing nausea and vomiting during emergency transport.

Design

Systematic review of randomised controlled trials investigating the use of oxygen for reducing nausea and vomiting during emergency ambulance transport.

Participants

Patients with nausea and vomiting during emergency ambulance transport.

Results

Systematic review of the literature identified one trial suitable for review. The randomised controlled trial investigated the use of oxygen to reduce nausea and vomiting during emergency transport of patients with minor trauma. The trial reported that supplemental oxygen reduced nausea scores by 50% and reduced vomiting (a mean of 4 vomiting episodes in the oxygen group compared to a mean of 19 vomiting episodes in the room air group). These results are very similar to previous literature on the use of oxygen for post operative nausea and vomiting. However, the author's choice of statistical analysis compromises the quality of the trial and the significance of the results.

Conclusions

Oxygen as an intervention is inexpensive and has been successful in the treatment of perioperative and postoperative nausea and vomiting. Oxygen may be a simple method of curbing uncomfortable and potentially dangerous vomiting in patients being transported by ambulance. The use of 100% oxygen therapy in the prehospital environment for nausea, motion sickness and vomiting is worthy of further research.

Authors: Aparicio Patricia , López-Herce Jesús , Carrillo Angel , Sancho Luis , Moral Ramón
Published: December 2018

Summary

Objective

To determine the usefulness of a training programme in paediatric basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation for 5th and 6th year medical students.

Methods

For the past eight years, the Faculty of Medicine of the Complutense University in Madrid has been offering formal training in paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to its students. We have analysed the results of 8 basic paediatric cardiopulmonary courses with 527 students, comparing scores in written tests consisting of 10 or 20 multiple-choice questions, administered before and at the end of the courses, while also undertaking a practical test on basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills in infants and children. The course was evaluated by the students by means of an anonymous written questionnaire.

Results

The mean initial score (out of a maximum of 10) was 6.03 ± 1.58 (maximum 10, range 2-10), whereas in the final test it was 9.59 ± 0.68 (range 5–10) (p < 0.001). The majority of these students acquired theoretical knowledge (97.2%) and adequate practical skills (93%) in paediatric basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation. They were generally satisfied with the lectures, practical training and ability of the teaching staff.

Conclusion

The paediatric basic life support course is a useful method for theoretical and practical training. Paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be included in the medical training curriculum.

The Need for a Professional Body for Uk Paramedics
Authors: Whitmore David , Furber Roland
Published: December 2018

Summary

The standards to which UK Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians work have historically been driven by the employer rather than a professional body. This in effect has meant that the National Health Service (NHS) Ambulance Services decided how educational programmes were structured and delivered. The private sector in the UK has also tended to look towards the NHS standards as the yardstick for their staff, although there has been significant difficulty in gaining the NHS award by the private sector. The advent of professional registration in 2000, and crucially the enactment of The Health Professions Order 2001 that resulted in the setting up of the Health Professions Council (HPC), prompted a real drive to develop a true professional body for UK ambulance staff. That professional body is the British Paramedic Association – College of Paramedics (BPA). The BPA has, since those early days, pursued true professional self-regulation of education and practice standards. The BPA acknowledges the immense task it has set itself, but believes that it can and must be achieved in order that education and practice standards continue to develop and deliver what is felt to be in the best interests of patients. By engaging with the HPC, the unions, employers and, very importantly, higher education institutions, the BPA will truly fulfill the requirements of a professional body for UK ambulance staff.
The Challenge of Introducing Continuous Professional Development for Paramedics
Authors: Martin John
Published: December 2018

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is defined by the United Kingdom (UK) Health Professions Council (HPC) as:

“…a range of learning activities through which professionals maintain and develop throughout their career to ensure that they retain their capacity to practise safely, effectively and legally within their evolving scope of practice.”

Suggested key precepts of CPD are that the individual learner is responsible for their own learning and development; it is based upon and feeds back into practice; employers need to create optimal environments for CPD; and learning and development can be derived from an extremely wide and diverse range of both formal and informal activities.

Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) must embrace the multitude of activities which contribute to a professional's development. Any activity which follows an outcome based approach to learning, where the individual has reflected on practice and set about identifying an appropriate activity to develop, can be defined as CPD. This implies a move beyond the spoon-feeding culture of training to an educational approach of selfdirected learning and requires an attitude change within the ambulance profession.

The outcome of good CPD should be practitioners with increased competence and improved patient care. This is why demonstrating participation in appropriate CPD activities is important for registration and in satisfying the requirements of professional bodies. To meet these requirements the individual needs to keep an accurate record of their CPD.

CPD is an ongoing process of development. The challenge for the individual is to develop the intrinsic motivation required to assess their learning needs, and respond accordingly. The challenge for ambulance managers is to facilitate opportunities for CPD. Fundamentally CPD in ambulance services is about producing improved, competent practitioners to benefit patient care. This is achieved by the practitioner assessing where they are now, following a path to improvement, and recording what has been done.
Qualitative Analysis of Undergraduate Paramedic Students’ Perceptions of Using Case-Based Learning in An Online Learning Environment
Authors: Williams Brett
Published: December 2018

This paper presents the second paper in a series outlining the results of a recent research project that aimed to identify student paramedic perceptions of case-based learning (CBL) in the clinical curriculum of the Bachelor of Emergency Health (BEH) degree at Monash University. The integration of student-centred learning (SCL) and CBL within clinical education is an important part of undergraduate prehospital education at Monash University. This e-learning pedagogy has facilitated the creation of small online learning communities, and allowed closer scrutiny of the current technological teaching and learning environment. The study concludes that CBL is a congruent teaching methodology in clinical curricula for prehospital BEH undergraduate students.
