Exploring Online Student Engagement Scaffolded by Teacher Management Communication Style
Authors: Xiangming Li , Zhang Xuejin , Zeng Xiaoling , Zhang Jingshun
Published: August 2022

Prior studies of online student engagement generated insufficient information in longitudinal study and the scaffolding factors on the part of the teachers. To address this gap, this study proposed the approach of Teacher Management Communication Style and conducted the longitudinal quasi-experiment study for 8 weeks.  A combination of 5-point Likert scale of Online Student Engagement (OSE), the self-designed Student Actual Online Learning Experience (SAOLE) and Student Perceived Offline Learning Experience (SPOLE) were administered in three stages (Week 1, Week 4 and Week 8) to a total amount of 117 learners from 3 intact classes in a prestigious research university in P.R.China.

Statistical analysis, resulting from repeated measure ANOVA and Paired Samples t-tests, showed that there was a significant increase in Online Student Engagement in general and all the four factors of Skill, Emotion, Performance and Participation between stage 1 and stage 3. Further analysis showed the fluctuating yet increasing trend of Online Student Engagement in general and the three factors of Skill, Emotion and Participation between both stage 1 and stage 2, but no signficant difference between stage 2 and sage 3. The third factor of participation showed no signficant increase in both stage comparisons. In addition, the study resuls indicated that the learners’ perceptions towards online learning and their intention to share the learning experience was signficant higher than those towards perceived offline experience.

The findings shed lights on the pedagogy scaffolded by Management Communication Style and delineate the picture at a fine-grained level of online learning engagement along the 8-week long and 3-stage process. Future efforts could direct to further examining the comparison of the learners in terms of gender, age, education background, and of different time duration of learning.
Teacher as a YouTuber: Investigating Teacher-Generated Asynchronous Videos, Students’ Engagement, and the Teacher-Student Relationship
Authors: Durgungoz Ahmet
Published: August 2022

This qualitative case study explores the use of teacher-generated videos uploaded on YouTube and their influences on teacher-middle school students’ relationships in social science classes in Istanbul, Turkey. The teacher has prepared twelve videos for eighty students in four different classrooms for three months. The videos’ content and language were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Interviews were held with the teacher and ten randomly chosen students. The data generated through the interviews were analysed using inductive thematic analysis by two Turkish-English speaking researchers. The video content analysis revealed that media richness, manipulation of self, and informality had played a central role in student engagement and their attitude towards the teacher and the lessons. The language used in the videos had a conversational tone, including humour and prompts, which attracted the students’ attention and created a sense of community. The nature of teacher-generated videos achieved parental engagement and a sense of pride and positively impacted the classroom climate.
Conceptual Metaphors and Tacit Models in the Study of Mathematical Infinity
Authors: Díaz-Chang Tamara , Arredondo Elizabeth-H
Published: August 2022

This work shows the connections between conceptual metaphors and uncon-scious, tacit models that benefit our understanding of mathematical infinity in the university classroom. From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, it is argued that conceptual metaphors play a key role in explaining how this mathematical concept is grounded in our experience, simultaneously providing a mechanism to address these tacit models in a more conscious way. Moreover, it is shown that conceptual metaphors can be built from the conflicting cognitive structures un-derlying these models, specifying obstacles and difficulties that teachers must consider when designing activities aimed at achieving an adequate understanding of mathematical infinity. This type of study allows us to improve our teaching practice, making us aware and stimulating students to become aware, to reflect on the inconsistencies of their own thoughts and intuitions regarding this mathemati-cal concept. At the same time, it allows us to show the validity of these inconsist-encies by revealing how our cognitive processes are constrained by bodily-grounded experiences determined by the complexity of our human nervous sys-tem. The use of technology would also engage students in these reflections and could also help them by fostering new ways of thinking about mathematical infin-ity. This perspective would be of interest in the current context of digital technol-ogy in mathematics education research.

Authors: Che Ilias Irma Syarlina , Ramli Suzaimah , Wook Muslihah , Hasbullah Nor Asiakin
Published: August 2022

Images for social media are an essential component of any blog or social media post. As we now live in the age of the 'camera in everyone's pocket', a new dynamic era of image creation and content has emerged. However, people use media due to specific motives or gratifications that lead to their satisfaction of social media use. This research study utilized uses and gratification theory (UGT), a sociology theory related to the motives of people using the media. The UGT factors include enjoyment, entertainment, social influence, social interaction, and information sharing. There were 441 data that were collected and analysed. IBM SPSS Statistics 20 and Smart PLS 3.3.3 were used for the data analysis. Result showed that information sharing was the most influencing factors on users’ satisfaction to use image in social media. Therefore, the factors identified in these studies could be used as a guideline and references in future study related to social media awareness and implications.
Les fondements sociopolitiques du régionalisme sud-coréen
Authors: Park Sanghoon
Published: August 2022

L’article s’intéresse aux fondements sociopolitiques du régionalisme qui constitue en Corée du Sud la principale ligne de fracture entre les partis politiques depuis la démocratisation (1987). Un des principaux modèles explique l’existence de ces partis politiques à base régionale par un régionalisme traditionnel profondément ancré dans les mentalités. L’article montre pourtant qu’avant la démocratisation, aucune forme de régionalisme n’était assez forte pour influencer les choix politiques des votants. Au contraire, le régionalisme sud-coréen est un phénomène récent, né de la modernisation politique et économique dirigée par un régime autoritaire. Au cours de ce processus, d’anciens sentiments contre la province du Cheolla ont été redécouverts et mobilisés par le régime qui, en les combinant avec l’anticommunisme, les a utilisés pour perpétuer son pouvoir. Malgré cette mobilisation politique, les sentiments anti-Cheolla ne sont apparus comme un clivage déterminant sur le marché électoral qu’à la fin des années 1980.
Cultures matérielles et régions
Authors: Denès Laurence
Published: August 2022

L’article montre d’abord pourquoi les recherches archéologiques concernant le début de notre ère dans le Sud de la péninsule coréenne doivent être menées en dehors du cadre des textes historiques. Archéologie et historiographie traitent des informations de nature différente, difficilement comparables, les unes relevant du domaine culturel, les autres se référant à un système politico-administratif. L’évolution des relations entre les cultures matérielles et les régions de la péninsule est ensuite analysée a des échelles de plus en plus grandes. Alors que les premiers siècles de notre ère sont marqués par une relative adéquation entre les bassins fluviaux et les cultures régionales, le paysage se réorganise à partir du milieu du IIIe siècle. On constate un processus d’homogénéisation culturelle progressive du territoire, lié à la multiplication des échanges à longue distance avec la Chine et le Japon. Parallèlement à ce phénomène, d’un point de vue culturel, la structuration du territoire se déplace à une autre échelle, d’ordre micro-régional.
La géographie régionale et l’évolution du concept de région en Corée
Authors: Lee Weonho
Published: August 2022

Sur le modèle des Annales chinoises, la géographie coréenne traditionnelle a produit des traités de géographie administrative en vue d’améliorer la gestion du territoire. Cette tradition disparut pendant la période coloniale et ce n’est qu’après la guerre de Corée (1950-1953) qu’émergea une géographie coréenne moderne. Influencée par les théories d’origine étrangère (notamment américaines), la géographie coréenne des années 1960 et 1970 se développa dans le contexte de promotion des « sciences nationales » (kukhak), au détriment des études régionales. Mais depuis les années 1980, on constate un renouveau de la géographie régionale, lié à un nouveau contexte politico-économique. Ce développement des recherches en géographie régionale a suscité l’évolution du concept de région : considérée jusque-là comme un cadre formel et spatial, elle est dorénavant envisagée selon une approche globale et synthétique, comme une combinaison d’éléments écologiques, historico-culturels et socio-économiques.
Pour une géographie de la saveur sucrée
Authors: Moriniaux Vincent
Published: August 2022

Cet article se propose d’explorer les pistes d’une géographie de la saveur sucrée. Innée, l’attirance pour le sucré n’est pourtant pas universelle. Mais la mesurer n’est pas simple : les statistiques de l’industrie sucrière ne suffisent pas, car la saveur sucrée ne se limite pas à la consommation de sucre de canne ou de betterave et sa perception relève largement du domaine culturel.
La genèse du journal de René Depestre
Authors: Cauvin Gaëlle
Published: August 2022

Il est assez rare de disposer de deux versions d’un journal intime. Celui de René Depestre, Cahier d’un art de Vivre, paru en 2020 chez Actes Sud, a été établi d’après un tapuscrit, mais la Bibliothèque multimédia de Limoges détient également les feuillets manuscrits d’une première période d’écriture, du 7 juillet 1964 au 11 mars 1966. Tapuscrit et manuscrit offrent des variantes intéressantes à étudier d’un point de vue stylistique – il est évident que pour son tapuscrit Depestre ait fait du style – et d’un point de vue génétique – il est tout aussi certain que la relecture et la reprise de son journal, non sans réécriture, après une longue période d’interruption, ont permis au poète une mise à distance, un contrôle de son vécu et un travail de création. Et si le journal intime, lieu d’épanouissement, contenait les germes de son œuvre future… Et si la mise en mots du plus quotidien permettait la fable…

Authors: Lee Ji Hye , Kim Jin-young , Choi Jae Sung , Na Ju Ock
Published: August 2022

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by varying and recurrent symptoms, reversible airway obstruction, and bronchospasm. In this paper, clinical important studies on asthma published between March 2021 and February 2022 were reviewed. A study on the relationship between asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis, bronchiectasis, and hormone replacement therapy was published. A journal on the usefulness of fractional exhaled nitric oxide for the prediction of severe acute exacerbation was also introduced. Studies on the effect of inhaler, one of the most important treatments for asthma, were published. Studies on the control of severe asthma continued. Phase 2 and 3 studies of new biologics were also published. As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been prolonged, many studies have explored the prevalence and mortality of COVID-19 infection in asthma patients.
The ulama of Palembang Sammaniyah order: Survival in the middle of the regime of power in the 20th century
Authors: Kurniawan Rudy , Wisadirana Darsono , Kanto Sanggar , Kholifah Siti , Umanailo M. Chairul Basrun
Published: August 2022

During the Palembang Sultanate, the Sammaniyah order was the official religion of the Palembang palace. Sammaniyah tariqa scholars were also made officials and advisers to the sultan. This article aims to discuss the power relations of the Palembang Sammaniyah ulama in terms of continuity and change in the regime of power. From the 19th to the 20th centuries, the Sammaniyah tariqa lived and developed under five regimes of power, namely the Sultanate of Palembang Darussalam, the Dutch colonists, the Japanese invaders, the Old Order and New Order. Palembang Sammaniyah tarekat scholars who are considered conservative (kaum tuo) have to deal with modern scholars (kaum mudo) because of the khilafiyah problem. As a result, there was a great shift by the Sammaniyah ulama in maintaining and developing the Sammaniyah order in Palembang. Firstly, the shift occurred in the role and function of the ulama of the tarekat, changing from religious leaders who teach Islamic religious knowledge to multifunctional scholars in dealing with modernism by utilising public space. Secondly, the charismatic nature of the Sammaniyah tarekat ulama formed the authority of the ulama so that the ulama could play a role in sociopolitical affairs in each power regime. Thirdly, contemporary tarekat scholars and Sammaniyah tarekat scholars who are considered conservative scholars could compete with mudo people who were considered religious reformers. Besides, the ongoing Islamisation challenged the Sammaniyah tariqa scholars in maintaining and developing the Sammaniyah tariqa.Contribution: This research will contribute to determining the relationship between power and the existence of scholars. The question that the article tries to explore is how the identity and existence of the ulama could survive every change of power in Palembang. This article will discuss the changes in power that have occurred in each period that caused a change in mindset and a shift in the identity of the ulama. This study discusses the power relations of the Palembang Sammaniyah ulama in changing regimes of power and finds the fact that power can affect the order.
Measuring the impact of community-based interventions on type 2 diabetes control during the COVID-19 pandemic in Cape Town – A mixed methods study
Authors: David Neal J. , Bresick Graham , Moodaley Natasha , Von Pressentin Klaus B.
Published: August 2022

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic exposed the risks of poorly controlled noncommunicable diseases, especially in persons with diabetes. The pandemic outbreak in Cape Town, South Africa, required a rapid reorganisation of primary care services. Community-based measures were activated to ensure continuity of care by implementing home delivery of medication by community health workers. After five months of de-escalated chronic care, observations at an urban primary care facility suggested that noncommunicable disease patients had not overtly decompensated despite suspending regular in-facility services. This study attempted to understand what impact de-escalation of regular care and escalation of community-based interventions had on type 2 diabetes patients at this primary care facility.Methods: A mixed methods study design was used, consisting of data captured prospectively from diabetic patients who returned to the facility for routine care post-lockdown, as well as qualitative interviews to ascertain patients’ experiences of the home delivery service.Results: The data set included 331 (72%) patients in the home delivery group and 130 (28%) in the non-home delivery group. Regression analysis demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between home delivery and improved diabetic control (p  0.01), although this may be because of confounding factors. The mean glycaemic control was suboptimal both at baseline and post-lockdown in both groups. Interviews with 83 study patients confirmed the acceptability of the home delivery intervention.Conclusion: The rapid reorganisation of primary care services illustrates the versatility of a functional community-oriented primary care service, although not fully developed yet, to adapt to emerging community healthcare needs in the pandemic era.
A proposed artificial intelligence-based real-time speech-to-text to sign language translator for South African official languages for the COVID-19 era and beyond: In pursuit of solutions for the hearing impaired

Published: August 2022

Background: The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in communication being heightened as one of the critical aspects in the implementation of interventions. Delays in the relaying of vital information by policymakers have the potential to be detrimental, especially for the hearing impaired.Objectives: This study aims to conduct a scoping review on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time speech-to-text to sign language translation and consequently propose an AI-based real-time translation solution for South African languages from speech-to-text to sign language.Methods: Electronic bibliographic databases including ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE and ProQuest were searched to identify peer-reviewed publications published in English between 2019 and 2021 that provided evidence on AI-based real-time speech-to-text to sign language translation as a solution for the hearing impaired. This review was done as a precursor to the proposed real-time South African translator.Results: The review revealed a dearth of evidence on the adoption and/or maximisation of AI and machine learning (ML) as possible solutions for the hearing impaired. There is a clear lag in clinical utilisation and investigation of these technological advances, particularly in the African continent.Conclusion: Assistive technology that caters specifically for the South African community is essential to ensuring a two-way communication between individuals who can hear clearly and individuals with hearing impairments, thus the proposed solution presented in this article.

Published: August 2022

Background: The adoption of and improvements in new technology in the South African capital market historically led to increased trade capacity and liquidity, which may be linked to the growth in market size.Aim: In this study the aim is to investigate factors that will influence the adoption of blockchain technology in the South African clearing and settlement industry.Methods: In this study semi-structured interviews to collect data among stakeholders in the clearing and settlement cycle/process of securities in the South African capital market are employed. Participants were identified through a combination of purposive, snowball sampling and targeted sampling using social media. Data were analysed using thematic data analysis with the aid of Atlas.ti software.Setting: The South African capital market, with specific focus on the clearing and settlement of equity.Results: This study identifies People, Organisation, Technology, Industry and Country (POTIC) as factors important in influencing blockchain technology adoption in South Africa. The study expands and contributes to traditional frameworks for adopting blockchain technology in the South African clearing and settlement industry by adding five factors: trust, load shedding, unemployment/layoffs, current infrastructure, useful life and educational campaigns.Conclusion: The POTIC framework will be beneficial to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and Shares Transactions Totally Electronic (STRATE) when considering the adoption of blockchain technology for the integration of trade, execution and post-trade services to reduce the settlement cycle. In addition, when regulators need to formulate new regulations they will benefit from considering the POTIC framework.
Konstytucja marcowa – konstytucja paradoksów
Authors: Safjan Marek
Published: August 2022

The March constitution – a constitution of paradoxes This article presents a synthetic attempt to address the role that the March Constitution of 1921 has played in the development of the Polish constitutional thought. It discusses the achievements and the weaknesses of the March Constitution. On the one hand, its significant advantages included recognising a catalogue of fundamental rights, guaranteeing independence of the judiciary, introducing judicial control of administrative acts and state liability for breaches of law. On the other hand, its weaknesses lay in the lack of solutions to stabilise the position of the government, a broad and imprecisely defined status of decree laws, and the lack of constitutionality review of laws. The modern and democratic solutions of the March Constitution exceeded the level of advancement of the political and legal culture in the society, which led to abuse and distortion of its constitutional mechanisms, and to an inability to secure the rule of law.

Published: August 2022

Gastronomy and tourism are two concepts that are closely related to each other. In this context, gastronomy and culinary arts (GCA) education include courses related to tourism. This study aims to examine, compare and evaluate the curricula of GCA departments in Turkey in the context of the tourism concept and to make suggestions. Within the scope of the study, the document analysis method was used, and the departments' curriculum on the universities' websites was accessed and examined. The obtained data were analyzed by frequency analysis. Study findings show that GCA departments were built by using the infrastructure of tourism faculties and food and beverage management departments in state universities, while it was opened within the faculties of fine arts in foundation universities. In the curricula of the departments under evaluation, there are 189 courses related to tourism areas. 87.30% of these courses are offered at state universities and 12.70% at foundation universities. Among these courses, which are generally carried out as two (44.44%) and three (52.38%) hours each, the ones primarily included in the GCA department curricula are General Tourism with 11.1% and Gastronomy Tourism with 10.58%.
Metabolic Syndrome in Children With Myelomeningocele and the Role of Physical Activity: A Narrative Review of the Literature
Authors: Gour-Provençal Gabrielle , Costa Camille
Published: August 2022

Objectives: The purpose of this review is to describe the current scientific literature on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in children with myelomeningocele and to gain insight into the baseline levels of aerobic fitness, endurance, and strength in this population in order to identify gaps in knowledge, suggest potential primary prevention strategies, and provide recommendations for future studies. Methods: A literature review of articles published in English and French between 1990 and April 2020 was conducted. Results: Obese adolescents with myelomeningocele have an increased prevalence of components of the metabolic syndrome. Children and adolescents with myelomeningocele have decreased aerobic fitness and muscular strength, decreased lean mass, and increased fat mass, all of which, when combined with higher levels of physical inactivity, put them at higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. Conclusion: Until more research is conducted, addressing weight-related challenges and promoting healthy habits (such as optimal activity levels) could be easily integrated into yearly myelomeningocele clinics. An actionable suggestion might be to systematically weigh and measure children in these clinics and utilize the results and trends as a talking point with the parents and children. The follow-up appointments could also be used to develop physical activity goals and monitor progress. We recommend that the health care practitioner tasked with this intervention (physician, nurse, etc.) should be aware of locally available accessible sports platforms and have knowledge of motivational interviewing to facilitate removal of perceived barriers to physical activity.

Evidence-Based Best Practice Toolkit for Social Determinants of Health: A Program Evaluation Review
Authors:   , Berry Bryleigh
Published: August 2022

Despite an increase in healthcare expenditure, racial and ethnic disparities remain a substantial concern among adult primary care patients in the United States. This is largely due to the focus on medical intervention and disregard for the underlying factors that contribute significantly to health outcomes such as economic stability, educational access and quality, healthcare access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context. The PICOT question that guided this program evaluation review project is: In adult clients seeking care at a primary care clinic (P), how does a SDOH toolkit based on the CDC framework (I) compared to no SDOH toolkit (C) affect identification of unmet health related social needs (O)? The evidence suggests that screening for SDOH identifies unmet social needs, improves provider referrals to relevant resources, and improves overall health outcomes. In addition, the literature supports the use and development of nursing toolkits to influence evidence-based interventions in healthcare. A detailed and thorough program evaluation review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Healthy People 2030, and the Health Leads Network SDOH programs revealed that the evaluated SDOH programs meet the requirements of a program per the CDC Program Evaluation framework. Additionally, the evidence supported the use of these programs as established to support the development of an SDOH screening toolkit for the specialty population of adult primary care patients. Screening for SDOH in adult primary care is a necessary component for improving health outcomes and use of an SDOH screening toolkit in the clinical practice setting will help assist in the smooth and successful implementation of SDOH screening for all adult primary care patients.
Reducing the Incidence of CLABSI through Hand Hygiene
Authors:   , Paudel Bindu
Published: August 2022

Practice Problem: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) account for most hospital-associated preventable infections in the United States and globally. Implementation of effective hand hygiene practices is considered to be highly effective in preventing CLABSIs if performed during insertion and every handling instance. PICOT: The PICOT question guiding this project is as follows: Among intensive care unit employees (P), implementation of hand hygiene awareness program and practice (I) compared to current practices (C) in reducing CLABSI incidences (O) among adult inpatients in 10 weeks (T)? Evidence: The evidence from a rigorous literature review showed that the appropriate education promotes hand hygiene, direct observation of peer’s hand hygiene practice promotes hand hygiene, and various campaigns on hand hygiene improve compliance and implementation of the appropriate guideline. Intervention: The intervention for the change project included developing ICU staff nurses' competency and compliance in hand hygiene before and after handling patients with central lines. The intervention implemented was WHO’s five moments of hand hygiene technique for effective hand hygiene. The project manager directly monitored and remediated employees for hand hygiene breaches. Outcome: There was no statistical significance in the intervention but there was noted clinical significance. There was a slight change in CLABSI rates after implementing the WHO's five moments of hand hygiene technique. Reported CLABSI incidence before project implementation was 1 compared to zero incidences in the post-implementation period. However, the intervention was unable to yield hand hygiene compliance of 90% showing no positive effects on the compliance rates and hence deemed unsuccessful. Conclusion: The project outcome warrants additional monitoring with additional champions to audit the hand hygiene process. The outcome also warrants additional monitoring on larger sample over longer duration to yield more statistically significant data. Further staff education and training paired with periodic audits and evaluation of the practice change over time may add insights to more evidence of clinical significance.

Published: August 2022

The intensity of solar energy that is received by a particular location is affected by most meteorological conditions including, the solar irradiance received by the location, precipitation, extreme heat as a result of the surface or ambient temperature, etc. We obtain the monthly global solar irradiation and ambient temperature for the three (3) eco-climatic zones in the south of Nigeria (17 locations) for 12 years (2005 - 2016) from the Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) Satellite. The goal of this study is to understand how regional meteorological conditions affect radiation and temperature reception. Monthly and annual trends were plotted and compared for both variables in each region to show the similarity or dichotomy in their trends. The Mann-Kendall (M-K) trend test has been adopted to reveal that the changes in the variations on an annual basis, and results showed that the trend were not significant for both variables. Box plots have been used to give a better description of the data, and compared to show similarities and differences. Finally, we adopted the Gaussian (normal) distribution to show, understand and compare the data distribution. Linear regression plots for each zone shows that the relationship between the solar irradiation and temperature is high. Results show that the climate and vegetation of a region contributes majorly to the variation of radiation and temperature. Inhomogeneityof data or results for locations in the same zones may be attributed to local meteorological conditions. The results obtained here will prove vital in decision making relating to the adoption of solar energy technologies in the region. Results show that the climate and vegetation of a region contributes majorly to the variation of radiation and temperature. Inhomogeneity of data or results for locations in the same zones may be attributed to local meteorological conditions.

Authors: Silva Vergara Robert
Published: August 2022

The Last Planner System (LPS) is a working method based on the “Lean Production” philosophy that involves working directly on the final link in the activity planning chain. The Comprehensive Community Educational Project (PEIC, by its acronym in Spanish) in the Venezuelan educational sector defines the strategies of school management, integrating pedagogical, political, sociocultural and community principles. The central axis of this essay lies in the implementation of elements of the LPS methodology to improve the organization and execution of the PEIC. It is intended to make a critique that allows dissertation on the execution of the PEIC and why they tend to be repeated cyclically in educational establishments without achieving satisfactory results. The transcendental is the incorporation of new concepts and combining the best of each method, complementing each other and increasing the reliability of planning with the purpose of improving performance and therefore the execution of the project.

Background: This article describes a virtual surgery advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) designed during the COVID-19 outbreak for undergraduate students. Additionally, the article evaluates the implementation process of the APPE and students’ perceived effectiveness of the virtual experience on their learning.   
Methods: A virtual four-week APPE course was designed involving 12 interns using Microsoft Teams. All pre-scheduled activities and meetings with students were performed remotely. The virtual APPE was assessed through an overall outcome survey and a weekly quality survey.    
Results: The implementation of the APPE was successful with students agreeing that they effectively managed to meet the objectives of the rotation. Students believed that APPE enhanced their knowledge and skills in surgical pharmacy practice. Their interest in working in a Perioperative clinical pharmacist position increased after the rotation from 50% to 70%.   
Conclusion: A virtual surgical APPE that is positively perceived by students can be implemented. Further research is needed to assess the impact of a virtual rotation on clinical skills.
A study of pharmacists' resilience-enhancing behaviours to improve pharmacy student resiliency in Japan
Authors: Epp Denise A. , Fujii Yukiko , Shiratani Tomonori
Published: August 2022

Background: The word “resilience” has been trending since recent devastating natural disasters and the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. This study sought to uncover how Japanese pharmacists perceive and define resiliency and quantify their resilient behaviours for the purpose of enhancing pharmacy education.   
Methods: A four-part, online questionnaire that included the 10 Factor Resilient Behavior Scale (F10RBS) was sent to pharmacists around Japan.    
Results: Pharmacists defined resilience as “bouncing back” and “a positive adaptation after trauma”. An exploratory factor analysis of the resilience-enhancing behaviours led to three factors: personal health and well-being, altruism, and a positive outlook.    
Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that resilience is strengthened through experience and previously established behaviours and skills. This understanding of resilient behaviours can be integrated into pharmacy education by encouraging university students to maintain a healthy lifestyle and make choices that will nurture resilience before experiencing a traumatic event or the stress of professional work.

Nursing is an extremely difficult calling, which requires exceptionally tough preparation since starting long stretches of nursing instruction. All through the preparation period, understudies are presented to different upsetting circumstances. Powerlessness to adapt up to changed stressors might prompt mental pain and block understudies quests for nursing-vocation. Nursing understudies experience the ill effects of elevated degrees of stress connected with scholarly tasks not with standing clinical abilities preparing. As a psychosocial peculiarity, stress influences understudies' scholarly accomplishment and prosperity. Survival strategies assist understudies with managing the difficulties emerging from pressure. Mental stress can affect nursing students' scholarly and clinical performance as well as their future work lives as it may be related to unsafe substance use and low compassion. Stress is additionally connected with genuine emotional wellness issues including sorrow which is one of the main sources of inability internationally. Anxiety levels in nursing students range from mild to severe. Fundamental stressors recognized included pressure through the minding of patients, tasks and responsibilities, and negative communications with staff and workforce. Normal survival techniques used by nursing understudies included critical thinking systems like creating goals to determine issues, embracing different methodologies to take care of issues, and tracking down the significance of upsetting occasions.

Deep learning techniques are used across a wide range of fields for several applications. Deep
learning-based object recognition from aerial or terrestrial photos has grown in popularity as a
research topic in recent years. On this work, object detection was used by training the YOLOv2 and
YOLOv3 algorithms in the Google Colaboratory cloud service using the DOTA dataset, which
consists of aerial pictures, and the Python programming language. For assessment, 4 aerial pictures
of 5 class items were used. Large vehicle, aeroplane, ship, basketball court, and swimming pool are
some examples of these classifications. The outcomes of accuracy analyses of these two algorithms
were compared in accordance with recall, precision, and F1-score for 5 classes. The top score with
YOLOv2 was 99 percent F1 in the aeroplane class, whereas the best score with YOLOv3 was 83
percent in the pool class. While YOLOv2 can identify items in an average photo in 43 seconds,
YOLOv3 has outperformed its predecessor in terms of speed, identifying objects on average in just
2.5 seconds.

Published: August 2022

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder where the body fails to produce the digestive hormone
insulin, or the body’s ability to respond to insulin is limited. This situation leads to abnormal
metabolism of carbohydrates and elevated blood sugar level. Type-1 diabetes (T1DM) is a condition
arises mainly due to auto immunity disorder in which the immunity cells of the body mistakenly
destroy the beta cells in the pancreas, which produce insulin. T1DM patients require to have proper
control of their blood glucose level through proper medication, physical activities and continuous
monitoring of blood glucose levels. A wide range of advanced wellbeing innovations, particularly
computerized applications, have been growing quickly to assist individuals with dealing with their
diabetes. Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly growing field, and its applications to diabetes research are
becoming significantly more quickly. This paper is a review of six studies of existing neural networkbased models for the prediction of future blood glucose level in T1DM patients and describes some
challenges to predict future blood glucose with the available data. These models include prediction
of blood glucose level using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Feedforward Neural Network
(FNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) implemented using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM),
Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN), Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) and Dilated
Recurrent Neural Networks (DRNN)
