La sociologie anglophone des institutions pour personnes âgées
Authors: Brossard Baptiste 
Published: March 2021

Depuis les années 1970, de nombreuses recherches qualitatives publiées en anglais tentent de rendre compte et d’analyser la vie en institution d’hébergement pour personnes âgées. Ces recherches portent sur des questions aussi diverses que les contraintes de travail des employés, les distinctions sociales et « ethniques » au sein des établissements, la dimension émotionnelle des soins ou le type d’échanges survenant entre résidents et professionnels. Cet article propose une revue de cette littérature. Après avoir donné quelques clés pour la lecture de ces textes, il présente les grandes orientations de recherche recensées, à partir de travaux particulièrement illustratifs. Il conclut par quelques remarques concernant les spécificités de la recherche francophone et anglophone en la matière et souligne les enjeux contemporains de l’étude des institutions d’hébergement pour personnes âgées à l’échelle internationale.
Effet d’une routine centrée sur l’imagerie mentale et sur l’efficacité du service chez des joueurs de tennis experts
Authors: Dominique Laurent , Coudevylle Guillaume R. , Robin Nicolas 
Published: March 2021

Cette étude expérimentale porte sur les effets d’une routine de préparation au service composée principalement d’imagerie mentale (IM) selon une modalité visuelle externe centrée sur la trajectoire de la balle et la zone cible à atteindre. Quarante joueurs experts étaient aléatoirement séparés en deux groupes expérimentaux : contrôle et imagerie. Ils ont réalisé un pré-test (i.e., 25 premières balles de service en condition de match), 20 séances d’acquisition (i.e., pratique physique + IM ou pratique physique seule) et un post-test similaire au pré-test, en condition écologique. Le pourcentage des premières balles de service, la vitesse de ces dernières et un score d’efficacité de celles-ci, évalué par des experts observant les retours de services en condition de match, servaient d’indicateurs de performance et de variables dépendantes. Les résultats de cette expérience montrent notamment une amélioration du pourcentage de première balle chez les participants du groupe imagerie uniquement. Il semble donc bénéfique pour des joueurs de tennis experts d’avoir recours à des routines basées sur la respiration, le rebond de balle et l’imagerie mentale de la trajectoire de la balle et de la cible à atteindre avant de servir des premières balles en condition de match.

Evaluation of the PlusoptiX photoscreener in the examination of children with intellectual disabilities
Authors: Raffa Lina H. , Al-Shamrani Abdulrahman , AlQarni Ali , Madani Firas , Allinjawi Kareem 
Published: March 2021

PURPOSE:
This study aimed to determine whether the plusoptiX vision screener (PVS) can be used to detect amblyogenic risk factors (ARFs) as defined by the American Association for Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Vision Screening Committee guidelines (2013) for automated vision screening devices.

METHODS:
In this cross-sectional study, children attending a special needs school underwent screening with the PVS and complete ophthalmologic examinations. Ophthalmologic examinations were used as the gold standard to compute the prevalence, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and testability.

RESULTS:
Forty-four children with special needs (mean age, 8.5 years; range, 4–18 years) were included. The PVS recommended referral of 31 cases (referral rate 70%). Thirty-nine of the 44 children (89%) met the referral-positive threshold for strabismus, reduced vision and/or amblyogenic factors on examination. The plusoptiX had a sensitivity of 40% (confidence interval [CI] 7%–83%), specificity of 78% (CI 55%–85%), PPV of 15% (CI 3%–46%), and NPV of 90.3% (CI 73%–97%). The PVS underestimated refractive errors by 0.67 to 0.71 D in the right (P < 0.001) and left eyes (P = 0.002). Testability was relatively low, with the PVS at 75% compared to the gold standard examination at 100%.

CONCLUSION:
We found that although the plusoptiX photoscreener might be a useful tool in pediatric vision screening, it might not perform as well in children with intellectual disabilities. Utilization of the PVS as a single screening device may fail to identify a considerable proportion of young children with ARFs or amblyopia.

Published: March 2021

PURPOSE:
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ExPress mini shunt in glaucoma patients of Middle Eastern descent.

METHODS:
This is a prospective cohort study. Uncontrolled glaucoma patients were subjected to ExPress mini-shunt implant. Pre- and post-operative glaucoma clinical indices were measured and compared. Both intra- and postoperative complications and surgical success rates were assessed. In addition to comparing a group of combined ExPress mini-shunt implant with cataract surgery versus ExPress mini-shunt implant alone.

RESULTS:
A total of 35 eyes of 31 patients were involved. The most common type of glaucoma was primary open-angle glaucoma in 13 eyes (37.1%). Fourteen eyes (40.0%) were combined ExPress device with cataract surgery. The mean intraocular pressure (IOP) (±standard deviation) at the last visit dropped from 24.6 mmHg (±8.3) to 13.9 mmHg (±4.5). There was a significant reduction in the number of postoperative glaucoma medications from 3.0 ± 0.5 to 1.3 (±0.7). In cases combined with cataract extraction, the patients required fewer anti-glaucoma medications. Complete success was achieved in 22 eyes (63%) and qualified success was achieved in 9 eyes (26%), whereas 4 eyes (11%) were considered a failure. The two most common complications encountered were hypotony (28.6%) and hyphema (11.4%).

CONCLUSION:
Among the studied population of patients, ExPress offers IOP reduction that is comparable to reported rates following standard trabeculectomy. Postoperative hyphema was encountered at a slightly higher rate.
Effectiveness and reliability of cannulated fenestrated screws augmented with polymethylmethacrylate cement in the surgical treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures
Authors: Coniglio Angela , Rava Alessandro , Fusini Federico , Colò Gabriele , Massè Alessandro , Girardo Massimo 
Published: March 2021

Background:
Implants' stability, especially in osteoporosis patients, is a challenging matter. Nowadays, the adoption of cannulated fenestrated screws augmented with polymethylmethacrylate cement (PMMA CSF) is described by some authors. This single-center, retrospective observational study aims to evaluate the long-term effectiveness, reliability, and mechanical performances of this type of screws in osteoporotic fractures.

Materials and Methods:
All the patients surgically treated from January 2009 to December 2019 with PMMA CSF were evaluated and submitted to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clinical and radiological evaluations were performed at pre- and post-surgery time and at the follow-up (FU). Loss of correction in the sagittal plane (bisegmental Cobb angle), kyphosis angle of the fracture (fractured vertebral angle), loosening of pedicle screws (screw's apex vertebral body's anterior cortex mean gap called SAAC gap and screw's apex vertebral body's superior endplate mean gap called SASE gap), visual analog scale, and Oswestry disability index scores were evaluated.

Results:
One hundred and sixty-three patients (58 males and 105 females) aged over 65 years affected by vertebral osteoporotic fractures were included in the study. At FU, we do not found significant differences in radiological items in respect to the postoperative period. Only one case of loosening and 18 cases of cement leaking (without neurological impairments) were found. Clinical scores improvement was significant in the interval between preoperative and FU.

Conclusions:
PMMA CSF seems to can guarantee good efficacy and effectiveness in the surgical treatment of vertebral fractures in osteoporosis.
Sustainability and innovation: a blended approach to peer mentor leader training
Authors: Hettrick Jason John , Moses-Allison Linda 
Published: March 2021

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) is an established part of widening participation and retention activities at the University of Cumbria. In October 2013, the question of sustainability and growth of the scheme was addressed. The small team of PASS supervisors needed to create an effective and innovative way to meet the challenges of growing and maintaining the universityÃ¢â¬â¢s most successful peer mentoring scheme. To this end a new blended approach to PASS training was trialled in 2014. The training combined a range of face-to-face support, training and debriefs (plus online elements), via a virtual learning environment (VLE) and Facebook. Having been successful in both implementation and outcomes, this new blended approach to delivering training has now been adopted by the PASS supervisor team. ÃÂ The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the approaches and methods taken at the University of Cumbria in delivering this blended approach to PASS leader training. Initially it addresses the motivation behind the need for change, in an institutional context. It then explores some of the challenges faced during the implementation and delivery of training. Finally, it reflects on the evaluation and acknowledges future developments for leader training. ÃÂ ÃÂ
Peer-to-peer learning through research: a case study in delivering a healthcare message
Authors: Ilias Sadaf , Barber Jill 
Published: March 2021

This case study describes a recent learning activity involving pharmacy undergraduate students in which a final (fourth) year student trained 21 second year students to administer questionnaires about antibiotic resistance to over 700 student users of a large university building. The aim was to raise awareness of the problem of antibiotic resistance. The second year students were also trained to correct any misapprehensions held by the questionnaire participants about antibiotic resistance, and to encourage them to become "Antibiotic Guardians". Finally the 22 students analysed the data to give a picture of what the other students understood about antibiotic resistance. Peer-assisted learning therefore cascaded from a single fourth year student to 21 second year students and then to 700 students from various disciplines and year groups. The first stage of the cascade was evaluated and the 21 second year students overwhelmingly believed that their knowledge of antibiotic resistance was enhanced. A follow-up study using the same questionnaire will be used to determine whether the exercise was effective in raising awareness of antibiotic resistance among the body of students surveyed.
Enhancing the e-learning environment using wikis and blogs
Authors: Wikinson Susan 
Published: March 2021

This paper provides a short account of the educational benefits of using wikis and blogs in teaching and learning in higher education. It draws on constructivist principles to explain and support the use of collaborative learning tools in higher education, and explores the factors necessary to create a successful e-learning environment. Support for use of such e-learning tools is placed in the context of recent shifts in pedagogical approaches to learning, the increase in demand for higher education, the widening participation agenda, and the technical revolution. It intends to convey the importance of developing collaborative learning communities within higher education, whilst keeping focus on the pedagogical, rather than technological, reasons for change.
Incorporating audio feedback to enhance inclusivity of courses
Authors: Wilkinson Sue 
Published: March 2021

Higher education institutions are under increasing pressure to provide inclusive courses that are accessible to all students, and with the percentage of disabled learners in HE increasing each year, this has become a key factor in institutional strategies and teaching and learning agendas.ÃÂ This paper briefly highlights the issues that have risen to the need for alternative methods of feedback, and offers support for why audio feedback is one way of bridging the gap between learner engagement and tutor feedback.ÃÂ Audio feedback is an alternative method of communicating advice to students that not only benefits disabled learners, but also non disabled learners and also tutors.ÃÂ ÃÂ
Maria's story - the narrative of a mature international student
Authors: Hamshire Claire , Jack Kirsten , Prowse Alicia , Wibberley Christopher 
Published: March 2021

This study examines in-depth the experiences of a mature, international student during her first year at university in the UK, to explore the different dimensions of her learning transitions. The aim was to gain an in-depth understanding into the factors that influenced a student's on-going development and transformation over their first year; therefore we adopted a narrative exploration / inquiry as a means of collecting data.Maria's narrative is complex and atypical of the majority of the students in the cohort, yet it details the personal, social and academic challenges that can constitute the first year at HE; as personal history and expectations have a varying degree of influence on an individual's transition.In line with other research, this case study shows that students integration into the academic community, combined with peer support is crucial if they are going to settle into university life. The transition to HE is an on-going process and lasts longer than the initial weeks of the formal induction offered by the university.

Authors: Stebick Divonna , Wertzberger Janelle , Flora Margaret , Miller Joseph 
Published: March 2021

When an education professor and a reference librarian sought to improve the quality of undergraduate student research skills, their partnership led to a new focus on assessing the literature review process in addition to the product. In this study, we reflect on our collaborative experience introducing information literacy as the foundation for undergraduate teacher education research skills.ÃÂ We examine the outcomes of this collaboration, focusing on the assessment of the process. Using a mixed methods approach, we found that direct instruction supporting effective literature review research strategies positively impacted student projects. Our data also suggest that undergraduate students benefit from not only sound literature review strategies, but also organization strategies.
Profiling sports therapy students' preferred learning styles within a clinical education context
Authors: Holland Christopher , Mills Claire D 
Published: March 2021

The aim of this study was to report the learning style preferences of final year Sports Therapy students within the context of clinical education, with a further specific focus on differences between male and female learning styles. A total of n = 32 BSc. (Hons) Sports Therapy degree students ( xÃâ ÃÂ±ÃÂ s; age = 21.8 ÃÂ±ÃÂ 4.8 years, male:female = 14:18) were recruited from the University of Gloucestershire whilst completing a 24 week clinical practice module. Data collection involved the Kolb learning style inventory (version 3.1) being administered to all participants with reference to their clinical practice experience. Data analysis, involving mean scores for these learning style orientations, were then used to determine the group preference for abstractness over concreteness (AC-CE) and action over reflection (AE-RO). Group analysis revealed a preference for the converging learning style (AC-CE = 5.3, AE-RO = 5.2) and was in contrast to the favoured individual learning styles of Accommodator (34%) and Diverger (31%). These individual findings are consistent with Kolb & KolbÃ¢â¬â¢s (2005) belief that individuals involved in human-related professions are person orientated and likely to adopt concrete learning styles. Gender comparison revealed a statistically significant difference between the AC-CE scores (P = 0.03), possibly leading to the assumption that male Sports Therapy students have a predilection for more abstract modes of experiential learning (8.6), whereas females have a slight preference for more concrete means (2.7), suggesting a more balanced learning style. The findings of this study indicate that learning activities could be tailored in order to optimise potential learning within a clinical Sports Therapy context.
Comparative Analysis of Revenue Generation and Management of Hotels in Different Locations in Ilorin, Nigeria
Authors: Falabi Modupe , Afolabi F.I  
Published: March 2021

Hoteliers clearly believe that location is important for a hotel, and have market research evidence to support this. However, almost nothing has been done to enable this issue to be incorporated into revenue generation. There is a gap in the literature relating to analysis from a location-side approach for increase revenue. This study therefore is untaken to compare revenue generation of hotels with different locations in Ilorin, Nigeria. Two research instruments were used in the study. The first research indictment is the use of a Geographical Positioning System (GPS) while the second is the use of questionnaire. The results of the hypotheses tested shows that there is a significant difference in revenue generated by hotels located in City Centre, sub-urban and highways in Ilorin, significant difference between level of patronage by hotels located in city Centre, sub-urban and highways in Ilorin ; no significant difference in pricing among hotels located in city Centre, sub-urban and highways in Ilorin; significant difference between pricing of services and revenue generated by hotels located in city Centre, sub-urban and highways in Ilorin. The study concludes that revenue will increase if proper management of hotels is being ensured regardless of the hotel locations.

The proverbial "walking while chewing gum" statement has been once again proven by our colleagues in PGH. Being able to publish quality research articles amidst the challenges brought about by the turn of events, is testament to not only the grit that we have developed in its wards but also to the commitment in pursuing new knowledge. Prior to the pandemic, PGH has shown a continuous trend of increasing annual publication. From 8% in 2015, it has steadily risen to 42%. The investment in focused attention guided by a clear agenda, extensive funding and protected time for research obviously is paying off handsomely. It is my fervent hope that we will be able to bring our research output to the next level which is health policy formulation based on the knowledge that we have generated.
