Teaching analytics, value and tools for teacher data literacy: a systematic and tripartite approach
Authors: Ndukwe Ifeanyi Glory , Daniel Ben Kei 
Published: June 2020

AbstractTeaching Analytics (TA) is a new theoretical approach, which combines teaching expertise, visual analytics and design-based research to support teacher’s diagnostic pedagogical ability to use data and evidence to improve the quality of teaching. TA is now gaining prominence because it offers enormous opportunities to the teachers. It also identifies optimal ways in which teaching performance can be enhanced. Further, TA provides a platform for teachers to use data to reflect on teaching outcome. The outcome of TA can be used to engage teachers in a meaningful dialogue to improve the quality of teaching. Arguably, teachers need to develop their teacher data literacy and data inquiry skills to learn about teaching challenges. These skills are dependent on understanding the connection between TA, LA and Learning Design (LD). Additionally, they need to understand how choices in particular pedagogues and the LD can enhance their teaching experience. In other words, teachers need to equip themselves with the knowledge necessary to understand the complexity of teaching and the learning environment. Providing teachers access to analytics associated with their teaching practice and learning outcome can improve the quality of teaching practice. This research aims to explore current TA related discussions in the literature, to provide a generic conception of the meaning and value of TA. The review was intended to inform the establishment of a framework describing the various aspects of TA and to develop a model that can enable us to gain more insights into how TA can help teachers improve teaching practices and learning outcome. The Tripartite model was adopted to carry out a comprehensive, systematic and critical analysis of the literature of TA. To understand the current state-of-the-art relating to TA, and the implications to the future, we reviewed published articles from the year 2012 to 2019. The results of this review have led to the development of a conceptual framework for TA and established the boundaries between TA and LA. From the analysis the literature, we proposed a Teaching Outcome Model (TOM) as a theoretical lens to guide teachers and researchers to engage with data relating to teaching activities, to improve the quality of teaching.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate feasibility of initiating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) through telehealth as a means of expanding access. Adults with type 1 diabetes (N = 27) or type 2 diabetes using insulin (N = 7) and interest in starting CGM selected a CGM system (Dexcom G6 or Abbott FreeStyle Libre), which they received by mail. CGM was initiated with a certified diabetes care and education specialist providing instruction via videoconference or phone. The primary outcome was days per week of CGM use during the last 4 weeks. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was measured at baseline and 12 weeks. Participant self-reported outcome measures were also evaluated. All 34 participants (mean age, 46 ± 18 years; 53% female, 85% white) were using CGM at 12 weeks, with 94% using CGM at least 6 days per week during weeks 9 to 12. Mean HbA1c decreased from 8.3 ± 1.6 at baseline to 7.2 ± 1.3 at 12 weeks (P &lt; .001) and mean time in range (70-180 mg/dL, 3.9-10.0 mmol/L) increased from an estimated 48% ± 18% to 59% ± 20% (P &lt; .001), an increase of approximately 2.7 hours/day. Substantial benefits of CGM to quality of life were observed, with reduced diabetes distress, increased satisfaction with glucose monitoring, and fewer perceived technology barriers to management. Remote CGM initiation was successful in achieving sustained use and improving glycemic control after 12 weeks as well as improving quality-of-life indicators. If widely implemented, this telehealth approach could substantially increase the adoption of CGM and potentially improve glycemic control for people with diabetes using insulin.
Labs in the time of COVID: an early-career scientist's view
Authors: Chuang Ling-shiang 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
The outbreak of COVID-19 has stalled both the basic, clinical and non-COVID medical research. The scientific community has shown extraordinary flexibility and resilience in responding to the pandemic. However, funding restructuring, risk of infection, cancelation of scientific conferences and delayed experiments have already proven detrimental to the career opportunities of early-career scientists. Moreover, school closures and a lack of systematic support for childcare have been additional challenges for early- and mid-career researchers who have young children. This Editorial describes an early-career researcher's experience and highlights how after efficiently contributing to ‘flattening the curve’ of COVID-19 infections, the research community has an opportunity for growth and re-structuring.
RGS4 controls secretion of von Willebrand factor to the subendothelial matrix
Authors: Patella Francesca , Cutler Daniel F. 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
The haemostatic protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) exists in plasma and subendothelial pools. The plasma pools are secreted from endothelial storage granules, Weibel–Palade bodies (WPBs), by basal secretion with a contribution from agonist-stimulated secretion, and the subendothelial pool is secreted into the subendothelial matrix by a constitutive pathway not involving WPBs. We set out to determine whether the constitutive release of subendothelial VWF is actually regulated and, if so, what functional consequences this might have. Constitutive VWF secretion can be increased by a range of factors, including changes in VWF expression, levels of TNF and other environmental cues. An RNA-seq analysis revealed that expression of regulator of G protein signalling 4 (RGS4) was reduced in endothelial cells (HUVECs) grown under these conditions. siRNA RGS4 treatment of HUVECs increased constitutive basolateral secretion of VWF, probably by affecting the anterograde secretory pathway. In a simple model of endothelial damage, we show that RGS4-silenced cells increased platelet recruitment onto the subendothelial matrix under flow. These results show that changes in RGS4 expression alter levels of subendothelial VWF, affecting platelet recruitment. This introduces a novel control over VWF function.
Medicina intensiva. Aspectos bioéticos. Información y comunicación
Authors: Palomo Navarro Manuel , López Camps Vicent 
Published: June 2020

La comunicación es una competencia que no desarrollamos suficientemente en la práctica médica. Una mala comunicación puede dañar la relación con la familia y las personas a nuestro cargo, además de crear confusión, ansiedad y desconfianza en el equipo asistencial. Debemos ser capaces de dar a la familia la información de un modo que puedan asimilar y estimular para que nos pregunten con confianza todo aquello que no comprendan. Existen pautas para desarrollar nuestras competencias comunicativas: desarrollando empatía, cuidando el entorno, usando un lenguaje comprensible y veraz. El uso de estas pautas nos puede llevar a tener éxito en nuestros objetivos de comunicación: confianza, soporte emocional, entender el diagnóstico y pronóstico, ayuda en la toma de decisiones. La comunicación de malas noticias, entre ellas la comunicación de la limitación de tratamientos de soporte vital (LTSV), pone de relieve la gran importancia de comunicar adecuadamente. Es importante apoyarse en soporte escrito, como el que se encuentra disponible en la web del grupo de trabajo de la Sociedad Española de Medicina Intensiva y Unidades Coronarias (SEMICYUC). La información es un deber de los profesionales y así está contemplado en la ley, en el código ético y en los indicadores de calidad de la SEMICYUC.

Cualquier acto médico presenta siempre una doble vertiente, técnica y moral. La bioética, surge como herramienta clave para poder conjugar ambos aspectos en la toma diaria de decisiones médicas. Además, docencia y aprendizaje estarán presentes de forma patente durante toda la vida profesional de la mayoría de los médicos. En la actualidad, los avances obtenidos por la comunidad universitaria en cuanto a la docencia de la bioética son notables. No han sido tan claro, sin embargo, para la formación durante la residencia ni tras la especialidad. El contexto de la Medicina Intensiva, dedicada a pacientes con enfermedades críticas, ofrece una serie de particularidades que pueden ser beneficiosas para el aprendizaje de muchos aspectos bioéticos. Estos incluyen, entre otros, el respeto a la autonomía del paciente, la búsqueda de la beneficencia, incluso durante los cuidados al final de la vida, o la toma de decisiones en equipo o en situaciones de extrema urgencia. En cuanto al modo de enseñanza de la bioética existen diferentes aproximaciones, desde la clásica clase magistral a la clase invertida o el método del caso, que tiene su mayor exponente en la simulación. Nuestra propuesta particular consiste en la integración de la práctica y la discusión en grupo como elemento fundamental de la enseñanza de la bioética, ayudada de las metodologías más recientes, fundamentalmente, de la simulación.

Published: June 2020

The scientific significance of studying security problems in regional societies is determined by the need to reveal its actual components. Such complex indicator as social capital includes basic indicators of the functioning of civil society: social responsibility, activity, civic initiative, etc. The social capital formed in society induces generalized trust. At the same time, institutional trust contributes to the legitimization of legal and political institutions. The purpose of this article is to describe the social mechanism of interdependence of components of social capital and generalized trust that form a sense of security in the region. The article summarizes expert assessments that indicate heterogeneity of institutional systems, which are indicators of low coherence of the social order and form a low level of trust and, consequently, security in the Altai territory. It is concluded that for modern Russian society, as well as for its regions, the problem of regenerating generalized trust as a social background for optimizing post-industrial transformations is extremely significant. Stability of the active role of social institutions, the reproduction of spiritual values, such as the common good, inter-ethnic tolerance, social justice are among most important factors restoring social trust.

The Impact of Road Traffic Noise on Housing Prices – Case Study in Poland
Authors: Szopińska Kinga , Krajewska Małgorzata , Kwiecień Janusz 
Published: June 2020

AbstractNoise as a form of environmental pollution negatively affects the attractiveness of residential areas. Its adverse effect is particularly noticeable in the vicinity of roads with high traffic volume. Along with the dynamic development of roads, the problem of the impact of traffic noise on the prices of residential real estate is now common. The purpose of this article was to determine the impact of road traffic noise from a busy route on residential property prices using strategic noise map (SNM) resources as a source of information on real estate. Housing estate was identified in the area of the Polish city of Bydgoszcz. Assuming that the prices of real estate reflect its characteristics, the article attempts to verify the following hypothesis: for residential premises located at Kujawska St., noise is a feature that reduces their price. SNM resources, statistical analyses and econometric modelling were used in the research. The studies show that housing prices vary with acoustic zones, but differences in prices in the areas surveyed are not statistically significant. In addition, the undertaken research has shown that SNM resources can be a source of information on real estate, especially in the context of environmental factors.
Sémiosis et metamorphoses
Authors: Rastier François 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Independently of the generative and enunciative theories, the dynamic structuralism of the Saussurian tradition has made it possible to pose the problem of semiosis, understood as the individuation of the sign from a structural germ. At a higher level of complexity, the processes that preside over this individuation seem to also govern the composition of texts. Literary and pictorial examples make it possible to detect them; they confirm that reflection on the arts is a major area of general and comparative semiotics
(Don't Fear) the Reefer: Cannabis Worldview Beliefs and the Management of Death-Related Existential Concerns Among High Frequency Cannabis Users
Authors: Hayes Joseph , Rafferty J. Marcus 
Published: June 2020

Introduction: The current research employed a terror management framework to understand the cognitive effects of frequent drug use. The study focused specifically on cannabis users and tested the hypothesis that frequent cannabis use is associated with the development of cannabis-related worldview beliefs that take on an existential function for frequent users. Method: Participants (N = 226) answered questions about their cannabis use and completed a measure of cannabis worldview investment. Thereafter, they were randomly assigned to a cannabis worldview threat (vs. no threat) condition and completed measures of death-thought accessibility (DTA) and cannabis worldview defense. Results: A positive association between frequency of cannabis use and cannabis worldview investment was observed. Moreover, among high frequency cannabis users, those highly invested in the cannabis worldview evinced significantly more DTA following exposure to the worldview threat than no threat condition. Participants with high investment in the cannabis worldview also showed more derogation of the cannabis worldview threat (vs. no threat) essay-author. However, this relationship was not influenced by DTA or frequency of cannabis use. Discussion: A terror management perspective on drug use is discussed, including implications for understanding drug abuse, addiction, and treatment.

Published: June 2020

Objetivo: Aplicar la modelación físico-matemática a la dinámica de la COVID-19 para la toma de decisiones asociadas a la mitigación y erradicación de la epidemia en Cuba.
Métodos: La modelación se aplicó para la caracterización del pronóstico del pico y el comportamiento reproductivo de la epidemia, en ambos casos usando herramientas y funciones de MATLAB. El pico se determinó con la aplicación del modelo SIR, luego de algunas adecuaciones. Este se ajustó con la estrategia de optimización GlobalSearch. Para su solución se empleó la función ode23tb que usa un algoritmo combinado de Runge-Kutta con otro de regla trapezoidal. Para el comportamiento reproductivo se realizó el ajuste de un modelo exponencial empleando la herramienta Curve Fitting.
Principales resultados: Se identificaron los parámetros del modelo SIR con un error de ajuste adecuado y por simulación se logró el pronóstico del pico, tanto en fecha como envergadura, con dos semanas de anticipación y con una precisión satisfactoria. Para la fecha del pico, se pronosticaron igualmente los susceptibles, infectados acumulados y recuperados. El número de reproducción básico (R0) calculado de 3,62 permitió determinar que, para erradicar la epidemia por vacunación, la población inmunizada debe ser superior al 72 %. El cálculo del número de reproducción efectivo (Ref) permitió evaluar la eficacia de las medidas de mitigación. Se reflexionó sobre la conducta a seguir para erradicar la epidemia.
Conclusiones: El modelo SIR demostró capacidad para predecir el pico de la epidemia. El R0 del SARS-CoV-2 permitió corroborar su elevada transmisibilidad. Las medidas de mitigación han sido efectivas y deben mantenerse hasta erradicar la epidemia, incluso para Ref <1, mientras no se inmunice el 72 % de la población para lograr una erradicación irreversible.
