Styles de navigation sur un site Web chilien pour des enseignants d’espagnol | Browsing Styles on a Chilean Web site for Teachers of Spanish
Authors: Meza Fernández Sandra , Marquet Pascal 
Published: January 2018

Cet article présente une étude qualitative de l’usage de ressources numériques d’un cours universitaire de formation d’enseignants d’espagnol au Chili. L’analyse compte 3882 traces laissées sur le site Web Didactique de Langue Castillane (DLC), sur une période de 18 semaines. Les résultats montrent que deux familles de facteurs déterminent la correspondance entre la structure du site dédié à la formation et le type de navigation des usagers : les deux facteurs principaux sont le mode d’apprentissage et la stratégie de visite, et les deux facteurs secondaires sont le genre et la filière d’étude. De la recomposition des variables émergent quatre profils de navigation : le profil A atteint 80 % de préférence pour les tâches de lecture, suivi par les profils B et C avec 60 %, tandis que le profil D montre une préférence marquée de 60 % pour les tâches de familiarisation avec la page Web.This article presents a qualitative study about the use of digital resources in a Spanish teacher training course in Chile. The study traces 3,882 visits to the Website Didactics for Castilian Language over a period of 18 weeks. The results show that two categories of factors determine the correlation between the structure of the site dedicated to training and the type of navigation by the users: The two main factors are the learning style and the visit strategy, while the two secondary factors are the genre and the field of study. Four navigation profiles emerge from the recomposition of the variables: profile A shows a marked preference of 80% for the reading tasks, as do profiles B and C with 60%, while profile D shows a marked preference of 60% for the tasks of familiarization with the Web page.
Remote assistive technology training in Newfoundland and Labrador’s rural schools: Is there a need? | Perceptions des enseignants quant au besoin de formation en technologie d’assistance dans les écoles rurales de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador
Authors: Maich Kimberly , Van Rhijn Tricia , Woods Heather , Brochu Kimberly 
Published: January 2018

This study examined the perceptions of teachers in rural Newfoundland (NL) about their current ability to support the use of assistive technology (AT) in their classrooms, and identified possible training needs that could be accomplished remotely. Thirty-two educators from rural areas of NL completed an online survey with a mix of closed- and open-ended questions. Five dimensions were explored for this needs assessment including: current beliefs, skills, use, comfort level, and perceptions of AT; identification of specific service needs; learning preferences; available technology; and potential barriers. Results reveal that teachers had positive attitudes about the utility and use of AT in their classrooms, yet were not fully implementing AT with their student’s due to a variety of perceived barriers. The study identified a clear need for AT teacher training. Based on the results and the research, literature recommendations are made for teacher training to address the need identified by this study.Cette étude a porté sur les perceptions des enseignants dans les régions rurales de Terre-Neuve de leur capacité actuelle d’appuyer l’usage des technologies d’assistance (TA) dans leurs classes et a cerné de possibles besoins de formation que l’on pourrait combler à distance. Trente-deux éducateurs de régions rurales de Terre-Neuve ont rempli un sondage en ligne comprenant un mélange de questions ouvertes et fermées. Cette évaluation des besoins a exploré cinq dimensions : croyances, compétences, utilisation, perceptions et degré de confort actuels quant aux TA; détermination de besoins de services précis; préférences d’apprentissage; technologie disponible; obstacles potentiels. Les résultats révèlent que les enseignants avaient des attitudes positives quant à l’utilité et à l’utilisation des TA dans leurs classes, mais ne les mettaient pas entièrement en œuvre avec leurs élèves parce qu’ils percevaient une variété d’obstacles. L’étude a cerné un besoin manifeste de formation des enseignants relativement aux TA. Selon les résultats et la recherche, des recommandations sont avancées pour que la formation des enseignants réponde au besoin cerné dans cette étude.
Guitars and Makerspace: Examining the Experience of First Nations Students | Guitares et laboratoires ouverts : examen de l’expérience d’élèves des Premières Nations
Authors: Wilson Jay R , Gobeil Marc 
Published: January 2018

This research project examined the impact on student engagement of a makerspace approach in an all-First Nations high school. First Nations learners have many factors limiting their success in the K-12 system such as lack of connection to the curriculum, limited cultural relevance of course content, and poor attendance. A common concern for those working with First Nations students is how to deliver a learning experience that is engaging and assists students in earning enough credits to graduate. In this case study, a makerspace approach to learning was used to engage and support learners. A makerspace is a learning context where participants are supported and encouraged to design and create as part of required learning, to meet curricular objectives, or to creatively explore their own ideas. The program at the focus of this research introduced students to 3D computer design technology and (computer numerical control) CNC wood milling technology to make electric guitars. This project used a case study design to determine ways to improve the school experience of First Nations students through unique course design. The findings show that the experience for students was positive, engagement increased, and attendance showed improvement.Ce projet de recherche s’est penché sur l’incidence d’une approche « Makerspace » (laboratoire ouvert) sur l’engagement des élèves dans une école secondaire fréquentée uniquement par des membres des Premières Nations. Plusieurs facteurs limitent la réussite des apprenants des Premières Nations dans le système scolaire de la maternelle à la 12e année, comme un manque de connexion au programme, la pertinence limitée du contenu des cours et un haut taux d’absentéisme. Les personnes qui travaillent auprès des élèves issus des Premières Nations ont comme préoccupation commune l’offre d’une expérience d’apprentissage qui engage les élèves et les aide à obtenir suffisamment de crédits pour obtenir leur diplôme. Dans cette étude de cas, une approche de laboratoire ouvert a été utilisée pour faire participer les apprenants et les appuyer. Un laboratoire ouvert est un contexte d’apprentissage dans lequel les participants sont soutenus et encouragés à concevoir et à créer, que ce soit en vue de l’apprentissage requis, pour atteindre des objectifs du programme ou pour explorer avec créativité leurs propres idées. Le programme au cœur de cette étude a fait connaître aux élèves la technologie informatique de conception en 3D et la technologie de fraisage du bois par CNC (commande numérique par ordinateur) pour fabriquer des guitares électriques. Ce projet a utilisé une conception d’étude de cas afin de déterminer des façons d’améliorer l’expérience scolaire des élèves des Premières Nations par l’entremise d’une conception de cours unique. Les conclusions démontrent que l’expérience a été positive pour les élèves, que leur engagement a augmenté et que leur taux de présence s’est amélioré.
Lecturer e-Training Program to Support University Teaching | Programme d’e-formation pour les chargés de cours pour appuyer l’enseignement universitaire
Authors: Tik Chan Chang 
Published: January 2018

This article attempts to explore the extent to which Lecturer e-Training Program (LeP) supports lecturers in their preparation for student-centred teaching. LeP was conducted in a blended mode, that is, it involved an online self-paced learning module followed by an interactive online discussion and ended with a face-to-face action learning. It was compulsory for all lecturers in this university to enrol in LeP. The data collection involved distributing questionnaires to all 36 lecturers. After that, 16 lecturers were selected at random for one-to-one structured interviews. In this study, it was found that LeP contributed significantly to the lecturer preparation for student-centred teaching, in particular, Stage 2 (Online Discussion) and Stage 3 (Face-to-Face Action Learning). Lecturers in this university were mostly homogeneous with regard to culture. It would be interesting to test LeP across cultural diversity as it was believed Asians and Westerners think differently.Le présent article vise à explorer la mesure dans laquelle le Programme d’e-formation (Lecturer e-Training Program) appuie les chargés de cours dans leur préparation pour un enseignement centré sur l’étudiant. Le Programme a été réalisé en mode hybride, c’est-à-dire avec un module d’apprentissage en ligne à rythme libre, qui a été suivi d’une discussion interactive en ligne et finalement d’un apprentissage par l’action réalisé en personne. Tous les chargés de cours de cette université devaient s’inscrire au Programme. La collecte de données a consisté à distribuer des questionnaires aux 36 chargés de cours. Ensuite, 16 d’entre eux ont été choisis au hasard pour des entrevues structurées en tête-à-tête. Dans cette étude, on a conclu que le Programme contribuait de façon importante à la préparation du chargé de cours pour un enseignement centré sur l’étudiant, particulièrement le deuxième stade (discussion en ligne) et le troisième (apprentissage par l’action réalisé en personne). La culture des chargés de cours de cette université était surtout homogène. Il serait intéressant de tester le Programme à travers une diversité culturelle, car on croit que les personnes asiatiques et occidentales pensent différemment.

Simultaneous Quantification of Pantoprazole and Levosulpiride in Spiked Human Plasma Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Srinandan Vulli , Nagappan Krishnaveni , Patel Sonam , Yamjala Karthik , Byran Gowramma , Babu Basavan 
Published: January 2018

Background:
Pantoprazole (PTZ) and Levosulpiride (LS) were proven as effective agents for
the treatment of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). It is a complex motor disorder that results
in regurgitation of the gastric contents into the lower esophagus with consequent symptoms such as
heart burn, retrosternal pain, dysphagia and belching.

Methods:
A rapid, sensitive, selective and specific liquid chromatography- electro spray ionization
tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of
Pantoprazole (PTZ) and Levosulpiride (LS) in spiked Human Plasma. The method utilized SPE as sample
preparation technique and the analysis was carried out on a HPLC system utilizing electro spray
ionization as interface and triple quadrupole mass analyzer for quantification in MRM possitive mode.
Iloperidone was used as internal standard (IS). Chromatographic separation was performed on a Phenomenex
C-18 Column (4.6 mm x 50 mm, 5µ) with an isocratic elution mode utilizing a mobile phase
composition of Solution containing a mixture of 70 volumes of acetonitrile: 30 volumes of methanol
and 10mM ammonium formate (pH 4.0) at the ratio of 80:20 % v/v. The flow rate was maintained at
0.3 mL/min.

Results:

PTZ, LS and IS were detected and quantified with proton adducts at m/z 383.37→200.00, m/z
341.42→112.15 and 426.48→261.00 respectively. The linearity and range was established by fortifying
blank plasma samples in the concentration range of 3.5-2000 ng/mL for PTZ and 3.0-2400 ng/mL for
LS. The correlation coefficient (r2) was found to be ≥ 0.993 for PTZ and (r2) ≥ 0.990 for LS. The lower
limit of quantification for PTZ was 3.5 ng/mL and LS was 3.0 ng/mL. The intra and inter day precision
and accuracy for PTZ and LS were within the limits fulfilling the international acceptance criteria. PTZ
and LS were found to be stable throughout three freeze-thaw cycles, bench top and short term stability
studies.

Conclusion:
The proposed validated LC-MS/MS method offers a sensitive quantification of PTZ and
LS in spiked human plasma and can be utilized for the quantification of PTZ and LS in real-time
samples.

Salt crystallization is accepted to represent one of the major causes for the degradation of building and ornamental stone. As such, it has attracted the attention of researchers, who over the years have progressively unraveled most mechanisms involved in salt damage. Despite this, many questions subsist about how to quantitatively predict damage or its progression, and in particular how to relate performance on site to that in laboratory tests.
In this context, a new RILEM TC has been started with the objective of defining laboratory tests that deliver more reliable predictions of field behavior. One deliverable of this TC, is to provide a theoretical insight into this question based on recent progress on the understanding of salt damage. This paper presents a summary of this work, highlighting key aspects relating to crystallization pressure, chemo-mechanics and transport. Implications are more specifically discussed in relation to existing accelerated tests in an attempt to better define the type of field exposure that they may best represent.
A simple conceptual model for the development of salt damage is introduced. During an initial “induction” phase, transport of ions and accumulation of salt in the porous materials occurs without causing detectable damage until a critical point, termed “damage onset” is reached. Beyond this point, during the “propagation phase”, the material degrades increasingly. The implications of these two phases are discussed in relation to the selection of appropriate salt weathering tests and conservation interventions.
Multi-scale and multi-physics deterioration modelling for design and assessment of reinforced concrete structures
Authors: Geiker Mette , Michel Alexander , Lepech Michel D. , Wu Jie , Stang Henrik 
Published: January 2018

This paper discusses the need for reliable and valid multi-scale and multi-physics prediction models to support the design of new as well as the assessment, maintenance, and repair of existing reinforced concrete structures.
A multi-physics and multi-scale deterioration model for chloride-induced corrosion of reinforced concrete has been established. Ongoing work includes extension of the model to 3D as well as modelling of the impact of the steel-concrete interface characteristics and electrochemical potential on chloride thresholds.
Identified challenges include, among others, the improved understanding and modelling of single- and multi-deterioration mechanisms, environmental exposure, and data for validation.
We envision that next generation maintenance and management of reinforced concrete infrastructure will combine numerical simulations based on multi-scale and multi-physics principles and extensive in-situ monitoring, allowing continuous Bayesian updating of 4D simulations of functional performance.

A Lifestyle Medicine Clinic in a Community Pharmacy Setting
Authors: Lenz Thomas L. , Skradski Jessica , Skrabal Maryann Z. , Ferguson Liz , Monaghan Michael S. 
Published: January 2018

Chronic diseases continue to be a significant burden to the health care system. Pharmacists have been able to show that drug therapy for patients with chronic diseases can be improved through medication therapy management (MTM) services but have yet to become significantly involved in implementing lifestyle modification programs to further control and prevent chronic conditions. A novel and innovative lifestyle medicine program was started by pharmacists in a community pharmacy in 2008 to more comprehensively prevent and manage chronic conditions. The lifestyle medicine program consists of designing seven personalized programs for patients to address physical activity, nutrition, alcohol consumption, weight control, stress management, sleep success, and tobacco cessation (if needed). The lifestyle medicine program complements existing MTM services for patients with hypertension, dyslipidemia, and/or diabetes. This program is innovative because pharmacists have developed and implemented a method to combine lifestyle medicine with MTM services to not only manage chronic conditions, but prevent the progression of those conditions and others. Several innovative tools have also been developed to enhance the effectiveness of a lifestyle medicine program. This manuscript describes the program's pharmacy setting, pharmacy personnel, participants and program details as well as the tools used to integrate a lifestyle medicine program with MTM services.

Comparison of Traditional Versus Evidence-Based Journal Club Formats
Authors: Packard Kathleen , Herink Megan , Lenz Thomas L. 
Published: January 2018

Purpose: The objective of the study was to compare a traditionally structured journal club with an evidence based structured journal club during an advanced clinical pharmacy rotation and to determine the best utilization that aligns with recent changes to the pharmacy school accreditation standards.
Methods: The study included 21 students who completed journal club utilizing the traditional journal club format and 24 students who utilized an evidence based journal club format. Background characteristics, student reported beliefs, and mean critical evaluation skills scores were evaluated and compared in each group.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two cohorts in mean overall percentage grade for the activity. Students in the traditional cohort received significantly higher grades for the Study Analysis and Critique section (90.97 + 12.18 versus 81.25 + 11.18, P=0.01) as well as for the Preparedness section (96.11 + 8.03 versus 85.0 + 17.13, P=0.002). Students in the evidence based cohort received statistically superior grades for the Presentation Skills section (96.43 + 6.39 versus 82.47 + 14.12, P=0.0004).
Conclusion: An evidence based journal club is a reasonable and effective alternative to the traditionally structured journal club when the primary objective is to assist students in understanding evidence based concepts and to apply current literature to clinical practice.
Integrative Student Learning: An Effective Team Learning Activity in a Learner-Centered Paradigm
Authors: Karimi Reza , Elbarbry Fawzy , Fortner Jeff 
Published: January 2018

Purpose: An Integrative Student Learning (ISL) activity was developed with the intent to enhance the dynamic of student teamwork and enhance student learning by fostering critical-thinking skills, self-directed learning skills, and active learning.
Case Study: The ISL activity consists of three portions: teambuilding, teamwork, and a facilitator driven "closing the loop" feedback discussion. For teambuilding, a set of clue sheets or manufacturer's drug containers were distributed among student pairs who applied their pharmaceutical knowledge to identify two more student pairs with similar clues or drugs, thus building a team of six. For teamwork, each team completed online exams, composed of integrated pharmaceutical science questions with clinical correlates, using only selected online library resources. For the feedback discussion, facilitators evaluated student impressions, opened a discussion about the ISL activity, and provided feedback to teams' impressions and questions. This study describes three different ISL activities developed and implemented over three days with first year pharmacy students. Facilitators' interactions with students and three surveys indicated a majority of students preferred ISL over traditional team activities and over 90% agreed ISL activities promoted active learning, critical-thinking, self-directed learning, teamwork, and student confidence in online library searches.
Conclusions: The ISL activity has proven to be an effective learning activity that promotes teamwork and integration of didactic pharmaceutical sciences to enhance student learning of didactic materials and confidence in searching online library resources. It was found that all of this can be accomplished in a short amount of class time with a very reasonable amount of preparation.
