On the challenges of global entity-aware deep learning models for groundwater level prediction
Authors: Heudorfer Benedikt , Liesch Tanja , Broda Stefan
Published: February 2024

Abstract. The application of machine learning (ML) including deep learning models in hydrogeology to model and predict groundwater level in monitoring wells has gained some traction in recent years. Currently, the dominant model class is the so-called single-well model, where one model is trained for each well separately. However, recent developments in neighbouring disciplines including hydrology (rainfall–runoff modelling) have shown that global models, being able to incorporate data of several wells, may have advantages. These models are often called “entity-aware models“, as they usually rely on static data to differentiate the entities, i.e. groundwater wells in hydrogeology or catchments in surface hydrology. We test two kinds of static information to characterize the groundwater wells in a global, entity-aware deep learning model set-up: first, environmental features that are continuously available and thus theoretically enable spatial generalization (regionalization), and second, time-series features that are derived from the past time series at the respective well. Moreover, we test random integer features as entity information for comparison. We use a published dataset of 108 groundwater wells in Germany, and evaluate the performance of the models in terms of Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) in an in-sample and an out-of-sample setting, representing temporal and spatial generalization. Our results show that entity-aware models work well with a mean performance of NSE >0.8 in an in-sample setting, thus being comparable to, or even outperforming, single-well models. However, they do not generalize well spatially in an out-of-sample setting (mean NSE <0.7, i.e. lower than a global model without entity information). Strikingly, all model variants, regardless of the type of static features used, basically perform equally well both in- and out-of-sample. The conclusion is that the model in fact does not show entity awareness, but uses static features merely as unique identifiers, raising the research question of how to properly establish entity awareness in deep learning models. Potential future avenues lie in bigger datasets, as the relatively small number of wells in the dataset might not be enough to take full advantage of global models. Also, more research is needed to find meaningful static features for ML in hydrogeology.
Technical Note: Resolution enhancement of flood inundation grids

Abstract. High-resolution flood maps are needed for more effective flood risk assessment and management. Producing these directly with hydrodynamic models is slow and computationally prohibitive at large scales. Here we demonstrate a new algorithm for post-processing low-resolution inundation layers by using high-resolution terrain models to disaggregate or downscale. The new algorithm is roughly 8 times faster than state-of-the-art algorithms and shows a slight improvement in accuracy when evaluated against observations of a recent flood using standard performance metrics. Qualitatively, the algorithm generates more physically coherent flood maps in some hydraulically challenging regions compared to the state of the art. The algorithm developed here is open source and can be applied in conjunction with a low-resolution hydrodynamic model and a high-resolution DEM to rapidly produce high-resolution inundation maps. For example, in our case study with a river reach of 20 km, the proposed algorithm generated a 4 m resolution inundation map from 32 m hydrodynamic model outputs in 33 s compared to a 4 m hydrodynamic model runtime of 34 min. This 60-fold improvement in runtime is associated with a 25 % increase in RMSE when compared against the 4 m hydrodynamic model results and observations of a recent flood. Substituting downscaling into flood risk model chains for high-resolution modelling has the potential to drastically improve the efficiency of inundation map production and increase the lead time of impact-based forecasts, helping more at-risk communities prepare for and mitigate flood damages.

Distancia y enunciación: variación en la autorreferencia singular (1.ª, 2.ª y 3.ª persona) en entrevistas realizadas a Hugo Chávez
Authors: Zanfardini Lucía
Published: February 2024

En este artículo, ofrecemos un análisis de la variación morfosintáctica intrahablante primera, segunda y tercera persona singular como formas autorreferencia en un corpus compuesto por entrevistas periodísticas realizadas a Hugo Chávez (Venezuela). El enfoque del problema de investigación fue realizado desde la perspectiva de la variación lingüística y basado en los postulados teórico-metodológicos de la teoría de la Escuela Lingüística de Columbia. Asimismo, nos hemos valido de aportes de la teoría polifónica de la enunciación. En esta oportunidad analizamos cuatro parámetros relacionados con la dimensión enunciativa: a) tipo de discurso (referido vs. no referido), b) fuente del discurso referido (el hablante vs otro), c) tipo de discurso referido (directo/indirecto) y d) rol que juega el emisor en el enunciado referido (destinatario/no destinatario). Los resultados indican que los cuatro factores influyen en la frecuencia relativa de las formas estudiadas. Concluimos que la alternancia en el uso de las formas de 1s, 2s y 3s no se debe al azar, sino que responde a las necesidades comunicativas del hablante para explicar diferentes modos de autopresentación en el discurso y posicionarse respecto de las versiones de sí que circulan a su alrededor.
La importancia del contexto en el análisis de las secuencias formulaicas (SF) y su aprovechamiento en ELE: aproximación sociocognitiva y etnopragmática a las actitudes de hablantes nativos
Authors: Contreras Izquierdo Narciso Miguel
Published: February 2024

En la competencia léxica, considerada un componente central y transversal del sistema lingüístico, las denominadas unidades fraseológicas (UF) o secuencias formulaicas (SF) constituyen una amplia parte de la misma. En la enseñanza de segundas lenguas, el dominio de estas unidades es fundamental, pues aportan fluidez, precisión y mayor expresividad al discurso. Para el adecuado análisis, enseñanza y aprendizaje de estas expresiones es necesario atender tanto a sus características socioculturales, pues son el reflejo del ethos comunicativo de las comunidades que las emplean, como a las pragmático-discursivas por su dependencia situacional. Para ello, consideramos oportuno estudiar, desde una aproximación sociocognitiva y etnopragmática, las creencias y actitudes de los hablantes nativos sobre el marco situacional y el escenario prototípico en el que son empleadas. Nuestro estudio analiza, desde ese enfoque, las creencias y actitudes de hispanohablantes nativos sobre la función de despedida en contextos informales para el aprovechamiento de esta información en el ámbito del español como lengua extranjera (ELE).

From Trial (Miḥna) to Tribulation (Balāʾ)
Authors: Musto Antonio
Published: February 2024

The execution of al-Ḥallāj (d. 309/922) and Ghulām Khalīl’s (d. 275/888) inquisition (miḥna) against the Sufis have loomed large in the historiography of Sufism. These events are often depicted as instances of anti-Sufi prosecution that fundamentally reshaped Sufism, causing later Sufis to align it more closely with “normative” Islam. While modern scholarship has recently challenged the influence and impact attributed to al-Ḥallāj's fate, this article expands this critical perspective to Ghulām Khalīl’s miḥna, details of which are provided across numerous sources. For the first time, these narratives will be critically examined highlighting problematic aspects that call into question its historicity. More importantly, however, this article looks to the way in which Sufis themselves engaged with and presented this miḥna in texts from the third/ninth century onward. Rather than being something to be answered for or contended with, Sufis offered these narratives as examples of tribulation (balāʾ) and connected them to a wide array of Sufi concepts, including altruism (īthār), forbearance (ṣabr), gratitude (shukr), and contentment with God (riḍā), among other interpretive frames. This article revisits a core element of the historiography of early Sufism and sheds light on the place of tribulation in the “universe of meaning” of early Sufis.

The current review paper critically examines the effectiveness of Pakistan's current counter-terrorism policies in the context of the resurgence of terrorism. This paper is based on a systematic review of the relevant themes and addresses the successes, challenges, and complexity entailed in Pakistan's counter-terrorism measures. The prolonged military campaigns have been instrumental in breaking the backbone of the terrorist group, which has led to a significant decline in the number of events and deaths. Nevertheless, there are still many questions related to the viability of these achievements. Some of the critical challenges include long-lasting stability, reconstruction of regions in conflict, re-emergence of threats from extremists, etc. A significant criticism of Pakistan's counter-terrorism strategy lies in its selectivity when it comes to handling specific militant groups. In addition, the paper also points out the socio-political and economic dynamics that allow for acts of terrorism. These factors are political instability, socio-economic gaps, and regional and international repercussions. It also discusses profound internal security lacunas, human rights issues and financial challenges – the case of Pakistan being put on the Financial Action Task Force's 'Grey list' is raised. The paper concludes that although the counter-terrorism policies in Pakistan have achieved significant successes, adopting a comprehensive strategy to balance security interests and socio-economic development should be blended with human rights considerations. Addressing both external and internal threats is required for proper accountability of the terrorism menace to build lasting peace.

Authors: Patil Vicky , Adatrao Shilpa
Published: February 2024

The skin of amphibians serves as a vital immune barrier that is essential for survival. In amphibians, the shedding of skin, or dermatophagy, is a multifaceted process influenced by factors such as species, age, and environmental conditions. This article explores an interesting incident of dermatophagy observed in Duttaphrynus melanostictus, the Common Indian Toad, within the Nature Garden of Amboli, Maharashtra. The toad exhibited the unique behaviour o consuming its own shed skin, a phenomenon not widely documented in amphibians. While dermatophagy has been studied in various reptiles, its purpose remains unclear. This observation provides insights into the ecological and behavioural aspects of amphibians, raising questions about the active or incidental nature of dermatophagy and its potential ecological correlates. Further research is warranted to unravel the precise reasons behind this intriguing behaviour in amphibians.

Hair is a complex system that exhibits distinct chemical and physical characteristics depending on the individual. It's multifunctional structure made up of various morphological components that work together as unit to protect skins and communicate sexually and socially. Hair has been subject of several studies in literature, with topics ranging from biology to dermatology to aesthetics to forensics to medicine. Despite fact that contemporary humans' hair has no physiological purpose, it is critical to our sense of self-worth. Alopecia areata, or circular/spot baldness, a very frequent kind of baldness caused by androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Many synthetically derived active substances are accessible for therapy, but they come with variety of drawbacks. They're uncertain considering effectiveness as well as reliability, and length of time it takes to see results is both long and ambiguous. Because of this, there is growing demand for hair loss remedies including botanicals and/or isolated active elements.

Published: February 2024

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is very oldest and common metabolic disease, characterized by a chronic hyperglycemic condition over a prolong extent of time. The disease is resulting due to insufficient insulin secretion or defects in insulin action or both. Diabetes is classified under non communicable disease (NCD) and it is referred as fourth most common among all NCDs. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of mortality in India and near about one million patients are died every year due to diabetes. The prevalence of diabetic is increasing rapidly worldwide and WHO (world health organization) has predicted that by the end of 2030, the number of adults with diabetes would have almost doubled, from 177 million in 2000 to 370 million Diabetes is mainly classified under two classes Type-1 and Type-2 DM. In the late 1936, a distinction between Type-1 and Type-2 DM was clearly made. Type-1 diabetes is a result of an autoimmune reaction to proteins of islets cells of pancreas and Type-2 is result of impaired insulin resistance. Genetic and some environmental factors such as overeating, stress, obesity and lack of physical exercise, smoking may also play a key role in development of DM. There are various treatment approach are being used to reduce the burden of DM worldwide. These approaches include modern medicines (allopathic), Ayurvedic therapies and gene therapy. Ayurvedic system of treatment is a holistic science which is discovered several years ago and plays a very important role in the management of DM. Ayurvedic therapies are able to provide permanent cure of certain chronic disease are, which remains incurable in allopathic systems. Present review article aims to highlight the role of ayurveda in management of DM.

Authors: Borade T , Pandey S.P. , Saini T. R.
Published: February 2024

Proliposomes formulations have shown their importance and significance for the efficient delivery of medicament, especially in those cases where liposomal preparations are required with more stability. These are freely flowable powder preparation where a drug entangled with lipid and cholesterol is deposited over water-soluble carrier material which get converted into liposomes after dispersion in suitable media in-vitro or in-vivo. In past decades, several studies have been published regarding the safer and more effective use of Proliposomes for the administration of drugs via different routes such as oral, transdermal, vaginal etc. It has also been noted that they show their more utility for oral administration of drugs like NSAIDs where gastric absorption, bioavailability, and GI toxicity is a major concerns. The current review includes the various methods used for the pro-liposome preparation, methods to be used for its evaluation along with the application of proliposomes preparation for different purposes and routes of administration. It also includes a summary of work related to the pro-liposomes formulation development of NSAIDs.
Training Privacy: Privacy's Redefinition Through Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Fairfield Joshua
Published: February 2024

The meaning of practical privacy comes from its lived experience in context. Privacy's meaning shifts as a function of transaction costs. What we thought of as civil liberties were often simply the experience of being left alone because it is too expensive to intrude into private life. The experience of surveillance capitalism – the tracking of our data through our own devices and the data exhaust they produce, our clickstream, search, and location data – is one example. But that is last decade's problem. The current problem of privacy is that neural nets, trained on human data, both exploit that data at the expense of people who fit similar data profiles, and reveal that data in peculiar ways when coaxed through appropriate prompts. This seminar explores the way in which the lived experience of privacy will shift in light of generative AI technologies.

Published: February 2024

This research examines passion and self-efficacy through experience and knowledge, as motivational factors that support entrepreneurs within the gig economy (GE). It sheds light on entrepreneurs’ sources of passion in the GE literature. The sample is composed of all the 1164 entrepreneurship activities offered worldwide through Airbnb, Tour by Locals, and Withlocals on 5 May 2022. The study is supported by unsupervised machine learning models and seeks to find latent topics emerging from the analysis of the entrepreneurs’ descriptions and exposes the main correlated clustered dimensions. There are six main motivators behind GE platforms as a first step toward entrepreneurship: Experience, Passion for share, Knowledge, Classic traditions, Empowered community and local activities, and Well-being. It also confirms the correlation between passion and self-efficacy through experience, pointing them as main factors behind entrepreneurship in the GE. Five of the six sources of passion previously pointed by theory were found: Passion for growth, for people, for product/service, for innovation and for social mission. This study discloses self-efficacy and the sources of passion and points directions to practitioners involved in entrepreneurial activities in the GE ecosystem. This work used machine learning models to access quantitatively a paradigm that is inductive by nature. The results point to well-being as a significant factor to be addressed in future research regarding entrepreneurship. This research only studies individuals involved in the GE; as such, further studies should cohort new populations from different fields.

Published: February 2024

Schools are the best venue for increasing climate literacy, and teachers are ideal channels to convey meaningful information to students. However, most teachers have not participated in significant learning experiences or training related to climate change. Informed and well-prepared teachers feel more confident to debate or talk about this subject. Participation in active research provides teachers with a sense of expertise that makes them more confident to teach this topic. By participating in the Shade our Schools—Leaves are Cool! citizen science project developed for the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Fairchild Challenge in South Florida, students and teachers conduct a series of experiments to explore how different plant species will fare under climate change scenarios. We surveyed 100+ elementary and middle school teachers during a period of three years to evaluate teacher knowledge gained over the duration of the annual Challenge and the impact of the project in schools. This project has been a successful experience for our participants to learn and engage with climate change–related topics and plant physiology.

Authors: Rashad Mustafa , Naji Amel Muhson , Kareem Sahira Hassan , Al-Huwaizi Hussain
Published: February 2024

Among the wide range of polymer matrices, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based matrices can be considered the most common polymer in dental applications. Significant parameters, such as conversion degree and change of color of two commercial brands, nano-filled composite resin, NovaPro (N), and micro-hybrid composite resin, VladMiVa (V), were investigated after curing and immersing the dental specimens in different drinks for one and seven days at 37°C. Raman spectroscopy was used to evaluate the degree of conversion (DC) by measuring the ratio of the absorption bands related to aromatic and methacrylate C=C stretching modes. These ratios were of the same value. CIE (Color Imaging Experiment) was used to investigate the color change of the filling resins. The N composite has a noticeable color change in coffee after 24 hours and almost the exact change after one week. Yogurt also significantly affects the color stability of the same composite just after one week of immersion. Cola dramatically affects the color of the same composite after one week of immersion. For the (V) composite, the effect of the drinks after immersion for 24 hours and after one week was within the acceptable limit and non-noticeable by the naked human eye, which means it has better color stability than the (N).
Un pañuelo verde atado al pie del micrófono. Prácticas musicales en los intersticios entre lo artístico, lo activista y lo militante en las vigilias por el aborto en 2018
Authors: Millán Camila
Published: February 2024

En 2018, en distintas ciudades de Argentina se desplegaron una serie de debates, vigilias y movilizaciones en torno a la discusión del proyecto de Interrupción Voluntaria del Embarazo que condensaron y potenciaron la circulación de narrativas feministas en los medios masivos de comunicación, en las instituciones, en los espacios domésticos y en las calles. Este trabajo analiza las prácticas musicales que se llevaron a cabo durante estas movilizaciones masivas, partiendo de la hipótesis de que las instancias de activismo - militancia y las escenas se constituyeron como espacios que se contaminan mutuamente. En el marco de la colectivización de inquietudes políticas por parte de mujeres y disidencias sexuales músicxs, habilitar la pregunta por las tensiones entre lo artístico, lo activista y lo militante permite situar al espacio público como centro de disputas políticas de los cuerpos y los territorios atendiendo a su rol en la conformación simbólica de narrativas y sentidos.

Duelo y Resistencia Contra las Violencias Sexo-Genéricas. Articulaciones, Debates y Corrimientos en la Protesta Feminista, de Mujeres y LGBTIQ en Paraná (2015-2017)
Authors: Gutiérrez Laura
Published: February 2024

El trabajo rastrea las intervenciones corporales y visuales realizadas en escenarios de manifestaciones por el movimiento feminista y de la disidencia sexual en la ciudad de Paraná. Se busca, por un lado, aportar al conocimiento sobre los itinerarios, disputas y formas de ocupación del espacio público en la ciudad, escasamente recopilados y estudiados a pesar de que la provincia tiene una visibilización de alcance nacional preponderante a partir del año 2017 con el asesinato de Micaela García (hecho que dará pie a la Ley Nacional conocida como “Ley Micaela”). Por otro lado, se indaga en la especificidad que toman esas formas corporeizadas y expresivas que se reúnen como cuerpos juntos en las calles y que reconfiguran algunos sentidos de la protesta política y del espacio público en la ciudad.
Las mujeres mexicanas frente al trabajo de cuidados: desigualdades en las actividades y en las formas de vida
Authors: Arvizu Reynaga Vanessa , Arce Casas Pedro Octavio
Published: February 2024

En este artículo nos propusimos conocer qué factores diversifican el trabajo de cuidados, contemplando que estas actividades se llevan a cabo en escenarios de desigualdad donde intervienen variables como el nivel socioeconómico y la posición social. La investigación ofrece un análisis exploratorio de carácter cuantitativo a partir de la Encuesta Nacional de Uso del Tiempo (ENUT) levantada en 2019. El principal hallazgo muestra que, en el México del siglo XXI, aun cuando las mujeres tengan mayor nivel educativo, cuenten con trabajo remunerado o sean cabeza de hogar, esto no es suficiente para paliar la carga de trabajo de cuidados que ellas soportan frente a los varones, a lo cual se suma que hay escenarios donde las desigualdades entre las mujeres agudizan la condición de precariedad en la que se realiza esta labor.
Debate Sobre el Sujeto Político del Feminismo: Posturas y Experiencias de Agresión Digital de Mujeres Feministas
Authors: López Olivares María Fernanda , Maldonado Reynoso Norma Patricia
Published: February 2024

A partir de las actuales formas de comprender las construcciones sexo y género, existe un debate respecto al sujeto político del feminismo que involucra el dilema de si el feminismo debiera o no, involucrar lo «trans». Este debate se ha trasladado a redes sociales digitales, en ocasiones incluyendo agresión. El presente artículo tuvo por objetivo identificar la agresión digital entre mujeres al defender sus posturas ideológicas al respecto. Bajo un enfoque metodológico cualitativo, se recuperaron las experiencias de 48 mujeres a través de un cuestionario digital y se analizaron con el software Atlas.ti. Entre los resultados se identifica la presencia de agresión digital en la contraposición de dos grandes posturas feministas, que se propone denominar: «mujer-centrada» y «trans-incluyente». Estos resultados contribuyen a la visibilización de la agresión digital al interior del feminismo. Aunque se constituye como una lucha contra la discriminación de género, paradójicamente podría albergar prácticas que deriven en silenciamiento argumentativo y ausencia de diálogo constructivo entre sus participantes

Se instrumenta un Índice de Desigualdad de Género Ampliado (IDGA), que incorpora cuatro indicadores complementarios en las dimensiones del empoderamiento y trabajo, siendo este uno de los aportes que ofrece al campo de estudios de género. Con este enfoque, es posible observar las principales desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres al interior del país y comparar sus resultados con los del IDG, encontrando que el modelo ampliado capta en promedio mayor desigualdad (11%). Estos resultados profundizan la brecha de la desigualdad de género, y resaltan la necesidad de implementar políticas públicas que busquen avanzar hacia un desarrollo humano más igualitario.

Morphometric variation is a useful tool for studying a species' population structure. The present study was performed to assess the intra-specific diversity between three stocks of the Silver grunt Pomadasys hasta (Khulna, Satkhira and Patuakhali of Bangladesh).  Length-weight relationship, condition factor and few other morphometrics were analyzed using both univariate and multivariate approaches.  A total of 105 samples were subjected to the analysis (weight (95.05 ±44.22 g) and length (16.18±2.57cm). A total of eleven morphometric traits including standard length (SL), head length (HL), pre dorsal length (Pre DL), dorsal length (DL), pre-anal length (Pre AL) , pre-pelvic length (PreVL) , pre pectoral length (PrePL), pre-orbital length (PrOL), body depth (BD), eye diameter (ED) and  pre orbital length (PreOL) were measured. Significant differences were found in four morphometric measurements including head length (HL % of total length), eye diameter (ED % of HL), dorsal length (DL %) and pre dorsal length (PreDL%). A negative allometric growth was observed, as the slope b was far below 3. The highest value of b was found in Satkhira (2.7) and the lowest value of b was found in Khulna (2.07). Three separate stocks of P. hasta exhibited morphological variations in their attributes. The divergence among the stocks could have resulted from both environmental and genetic variances. The outcomes of the study will be helpful for management and conservation of natural population of Datina (P. hasta) in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is the sixth-most climate-vulnerable nation in the world. As a result, scientists have focused more on studying the connections between aquaculture, adaption techniques, and the effects of climate change in recent decades. This paper aims to evaluate the degree of awareness and perception regarding climate change, as well as the adaption tactics used by small-scale aquafarmers. Data for the study were gathered through focus groups, key informant interviews, household surveys, and exploratory surveys. The results of the study demonstrate that there have been considerable changes in temperature and rainfall patterns. Fish farmers exhibit considerable knowledge about climate change, drawing information from several sources such as newspapers, television, extension workers, and the internet. Fish farmers have implemented several adaptation strategies, including netting, pond irrigation, long dikes, aerators, fish density reduction, crop rotation, feed management, and feeding, to combat the impacts of floods, cyclones, droughts, and cold waves. In the face of changing environmental conditions, the emphasis should shift towards adapting climate-resilient culture fisheries as part of a climate-smart aquaculture strategy to enhance nutritional security for the growing population. There are already established integrated farming systems in operation, including agri-aquaculture-based systems, livestock-based aquaculture systems, and agri-aqua-livestock integration. A number of cutting-edge technologies, such as community-based aquaculture, cage/pen culture, high dike cropping, aquaculture liners, species diversification, and greenhouse aquaculture, have also been developed as a result of scientific advancements in the integrated farming concept. These practices contribute significantly to improving production, reducing the impacts of climate change, and avoiding contributions to climate change.
What role should schools play in the prevention of disordered eating in children and young people?
Authors: Woozley Emma , Sargent Cora
Published: February 2024

Whilst clinical eating disorders are relatively uncommon in children and young people, a much larger proportion are thought to experience subclinical difficulties with eating, termed ‘disordered eating’. Given that the issue is so widespread and many young people experiencing disordered eating do not meet the criteria for specialist eating disorder services, schools have a responsibility to work systemically to reduce the prevalence of these difficulties. Educators may be able to use some of the risk factors for disordered eating, including body dissatisfaction, parental pressure to lose weight, peer influence and internalisation of food rules, to inform preventative strategies. These strategies may include, but not be limited to, implementing curriculum changes such as teaching about body image and nutrition education in developmentally appropriate ways, as well as considering whole-school policy changes such as specifying weight-related victimisation in the school’s anti-bullying policy and deliberating the school’s involvement in national child weighing schemes. Taken together, schools have the potential to play a critical role in reducing disordered eating in children and young people. Educational psychologists are well-positioned to raise educators’ awareness of disordered eating and support senior leadership teams implement these preventative strategies in an evidence-informed way as well as considering the role disordered eating might play in their own casework.

Objective: This study was to verify the effectiveness of an information-based teaching-management strategy applied during students’ clinical internship, designed to improve their performance in the National Nursing Licensure Examination (NNLE) Methods: All nursing students of eleven classes from grade 2017 in a vocational school were included (n=547). Considering the convenience of operational interventions, the experimental group consisted of students from Class 8, where the teacher in charge is the first author (n=49). The control group (n=498) comprised individuals selected from the other ten classes, with each class serving as an independent control group. From January 2020 to April 2021, a teaching-management strategy containing two stages was implemented in both groups from the students’ one-year clinical internship until the overall review period. In addition to this, a cloud-based knowledge-review program (e.g., layered teaching, four-step method, and paired assistance) was used in experimental group. The main outcome measures were the scores and pass rate of each examination. Results: Experimental group performed better than control group in both the simulation tests and the NNLE, in which the pass rate was 100%, showing a statically significant difference (P<0.01). Conclusion: Information-based teaching-management strategy is beneficial for long-distance education during students’ clinical internship, and it can effectively help students prepare for the NNLE to get a higher score.
