Teaching and learning in The Walking Dead (S05E14)
Authors: Sadki Reda 
Published: November 2024

In this episode, the young Noah has asked to meet with Reg, an elderly architect or engineer who had the know-how to build the wall that protects the community of Alexandria, which some believe has survived zombies and other predators mostly by sheer luck. Noah recognizes that it’s more than luck – and wants to Reg to pass on knowledge and expertise that is different from that needed only to avert death.
Applicability
Authors: Sadki Reda 
Published: November 2024

Applicability is the brick wall of formal training approaches. Not only do we first have to stop work to attend a training, but once the training is completed, the challenge is then to figure out how to apply what we learned to daily work. It is estimated that, on the average, applicability of a well-designed workshop using the best participatory methods (such as simulations, dialogue, problem-solving, etc.) is around ten percent.

The industry to tackle growing humanitarian and development challenges has expanded rapidly since the mid 1990s, but not nearly as fast as the scope and scale of the problems have spiraled. Professionalization was therefore correctly identified as a major challenge of its own, with over a decade of research led by Catherine Russ and others clearing the rubble to allow the sector to make sense of what needs to be done.

Two parallel lines look like they eventually converge at the horizon. Technology’s chase for digital convergence, say between television and the Internet, raises interesting questions of its own, starting with what happens at the ‘vanishing point’ – and how to get there. How about publishing and learning? Semantico has a blog post based on John Helmer’s lively chat with Toby Green, OECD’s head of publishing, and myself.

E-mail is formal learning
Authors: Sadki Reda 
Published: November 2024

Technology has enabled new conversations across time and space. Yet e-mail, for example, has become a formal medium, subjected to some of the same rules of consensus that prevail in other formal spaces for dialogue. It can be argued that reading and responding to e-mail requires stopping our (other) work. We also have to figure out how to apply what we learn from e-mail to your work – the applicability problem.

Individually, team members continually learn in their respective area of work, by both formal and informal means. Most learning today happens by accretion, as a continual, networked (‘know-where’), and embedded process. However, occasions to share and reflect on best practice are rare, and may be felt to be interruptions or distractions from the ‘real work’ in one’s silo.

BEING CRITICAL ABOUT ‘CRITICAL’
Authors: Palatinus David Levente 
Published: November 2024

(TV that just didn’t get it right…) Medical television is subversive. Because it touches upon questions that are themselves subversive, divisive, invasive (like many of the diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventive practices of medicine), it touches upon questions that, like television itself, are both perennial and ephemeral, and haunt cultural practice, economy, and policy-making.
Are the discoveries directed to applications? Translating the status of translational research in Peshawar, Pakistan
Authors: Sarwat Jahan  , Salman Zahir  , Khansa Khan  , Abdul Moez  , Emad Khan  , Amir Zaman Khan  
Published: November 2024

Background: Translational research plays a pivotal role in transforming basic scientific discoveries into practical applications, such as drugs and treatments, to address community health needs. This study aims to assess the awareness and perceptions of translational research among healthcare professionals in Peshawar, Pakistan.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed, with data collected between January and July 2023 from public and private tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan. The study was approved by Ethical review board of Northwest School of Medicine via letter number: IRB & EC/2022-SM/074 dated: 15 Nov 2022. A sample size of 472 healthcare professionals was determined using the OpenEpi sample size calculator. The study utilized a self-structured questionnaire covering demographic information, awareness of translational research, and knowledge of its various aspects. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, employing descriptive statistics and a one-sample t-test.
Results: The study included 472 participants, with a mean age of 30.8 years, comprising various healthcare roles. Gender distribution showed 62.7% males and 37.3% females. Only 25% of respondents reported familiarity with translational research, while 75% indicated a lack of awareness. Information sources varied, with conferences/seminars (16.1%) and colleagues (5.5%) being prominent. Regarding the understanding of translational research, 64.2% admitted to having no idea. Identified barriers included lack of resources (14.8%), lack of awareness (7.6%), and lack of a sense of responsibility (1.3%). A significant majority (87.3%) reported poor knowledge of translational research, while only 12.7% indicated good knowledge.
Conclusion: The findings highlight a substantial lack of awareness and understanding of translational research among healthcare professionals in Pakistan.
Accuracy of Mentzer index for predicting iron deficiency anemia in adults
Authors: Aslam Farhan , Ilyas Dar Savida , Azam Shah Sara , Aqeel Muhammad , Rehman Abdur , Meraj Lubna 
Published: November 2024

Background: It is of great clinical significance to differentiate between causes of microcytic, hypo chromatic anemias, iron deficiency anemia being one of them as it will improve with iron supplements. Complete blood picture is unable to differentiate. Iron studies and Hemoglobin electrophoresis are expensive tests. This necessitates the need of a cost-effective test and therefore we tried to determine the effectiveness of mentzer index in predicting iron deficiency anemia.
Methods: It was an Observational, Cross-sectional study, conducted in Department of General Medicine, Federal government polyclinic hospital, Islamabad. Patients with microcytic hypochromic anemia, both from indoor and outdoor were included in study. Iron deficiency Anemia was diagnosed by iron studies (serum ferritin, Serum Iron, TIBC and transferrin saturation) and then mentzer index was calculated to check accuracy. Patient with normocytic or macrocytic anemia or other cell lines deficiency, patients with infectious diseases or inflammatory process were excluded from study.
Results: A total of 155 patients were included in the study. Out of all the patients 145(93.5%) had mentzer index of > 13 while 10(6.5%) had mentzer index of <13. All of 150 patients (100%) had transferrin saturation lessthan 20 % indicating iron deficiency anemia against 93.5% picked up by Mentzer index. The receiver operator curves (ROC) showed that the MCV was the most important predictor of anemia while calculating mentzer index. The AUC value for MCV was 0.886(CI: 95%, 0.806-0.966, p value <0.000). MCV value between 52.6 to 63.5 fl predicted that the Mentzer index would be above 13, thus suggesting iron deficiency anemia with a sensitivity of more than 86%.
Conclusion: Study findings support the use of Mentzer index, particularly MCV, as a valuable tool for predicting iron deficiency anemia.

Authors: BULUT Beyza , BACANLI Feride 
Published: November 2024

This presented research has three purposes: The first purpose of this study is to examine the power of middle school students' social emotional learning and daily life decision-making skills together as a predictor of their career development. The second purpose is to examine the career development of middle school students according to gender. Third purpose is to examine the career development of middle school students according to targeted high school type. The research group consisted of 263 middle school students (141 female, 116 male, 6 unknown). These students were studying in 3 middle schools in the center of a large city in the northwestern part of Turkey and their ages ranged between 10-15 (X̄=12.31; sd=1.07). The research data were collected by applying the Chilhood Career Development Scale, Social Emotional Learning Scale for Adolescents, Daily Life Decision Making Scale and Personal Information Form. The research data were analysed using multiple linear regression analysis, t test, and one-way ANOVA. The research results showed that middle school students' social emotional learning and daily life decision-making skills scores together accounted for a significant proportion of the variance 0.19% of the career development scores of middle school students. The results showed that the career development score mean of students targeted Anatolian high school were higher than those aiming for science high school and vocational and technical high school. There was not significantly differences in career development scores of the students according to gender. The research results were discussed based on the relevant literature, provided important implications for the theoretical and practical literature on career development, social emotional learning and daily life decision-making skills and suggestions were presented for future theoretical and practical research.
