Indonesia is famous for its rich culture, especially the traditional fabrics of each region. North Sumatra is one of the contributions to that cultural heritage. Weaving Ulos or 'Kain Ulos' is an ancestral cultural heritage that is a symbol of the Batak Toba community in the form of long scarves whose existence decreases dramatically and can experience extinction. The lack of a place or container to preserve Ulos is one of the issues to consider. The design of this ulos weaving craft center must pay attention to the facilities, design concepts, and application of green architecture to the building. The aim is to design suitable support facilities for ulos weaving craft centers, making the ulos weaving craft center as one of the containers to preserve ulos weaving to improve the economy of the surrounding community and apply green architecture to the design to preserve the surrounding environment as well. The process of design approach used in this design is qualitative descriptive. Method by analyzing data collected through field observations to the location of craft centers and literature studies. Energy savings become important points that will be applied to the design of the craft center, such as utilizing sunlight, rainwater and also minimizing artificial air conditioning. Samosir is a strategic and supportive location to apply a green architectural approach in the design of this craft center.

Introduction: Biomedical Science distance learning courses offer flexibility in study while in employment. Asynchronous and self-learning approaches are common within such courses and often student-student interaction is limited. The aims of this study were to establish learning communities, develop confidence in participating in online teamwork and foster an appreciation of transferable skills including digital capabilities through remote group activities.Materials and Methods: Two cohorts of students (n = 20/n = 21) were enrolled in a microbiology module of an IBMS accredited MSc distance learning course. Groups of 4–5 students produced a digital output relating to current global infection-related issues, namely, assignment 1, production of a slide deck, which peers could use as learning resources and assignment 2, a voiceover PowerPoint debate, and infographic, voting assessment and peer/self-marking. Students also prepared reflections using written format and a FlipGrid video-recording. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on reflections from all students. Students completed a pre- and post-assignment survey focused on the development of transferable skills for the biomedical sector.Results: Students’ skills and confidence increased following completion of the group assignment, as evident from the pre- and post-questionnaire responses, namely, possession of digital skills and digital creation abilities (29% v 83%), applying for jobs which require digital skills (54% v 89%), talking about examples of using digital media during job interviews (21% v 78%) and demonstration of creativity during assignment tasks (33% v 90%). Critical thinking was more commonly demonstrated during the debate in comparison to the slide deck activity (p = 0.001). The importance of developing digital skills, was higher following completion of the group activities (p = 0.03). Students reflected on the value of the group activities in relation to knowledge acquisition (85%, 86%), collegiality (70%, 71%), digital skills development (80%, 90%), the fact that the activities were enjoyable (70%, 67%) and the development of peer interaction and support (50%, 67%) in relation to assignment 1 and 2, respectively.Discussion: Increasingly digital technologies are being used in the healthcare sector resulting in updated HCPC Standards of Proficiency. This study highlights that virtual group activities promote the establishment of supportive learning communities and the development of transferable skills including digital capabilities for application within the biomedical science workplace.

Published: December 2023

BackgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is linked to higher rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis of PH is important for clinical treatment. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (ePASP ≥ 35 mmHg) measured by echocardiography helps screen PH patients. In this paper, we report a novel PH screening method through a mobile cardiac acoustic monitoring system.MethodsIn the retrospective study, patients admitted to our hospital between January 2022 and April 2023 were classified into PH and control groups using ePASP and compared with acoustic cardiographic parameters. According to ePASP, PH severity was classified as mild, moderate, and severe. We analyzed the first and second heart sound (S1, S2) characteristics, including amplitude (S1A, S2A), energy (S1E, S2E), and frequency (S1F, S2F).ResultsThe study included 209 subjects, divided into PH (n = 121) and control (n = 88) groups. Pearson correlation analysis confirmed the positive correlation between S2F and ePASP. The diagnostic performance of S2F as assessed by the area under the ROC curve was 0.775 for PH. The sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing ePASP ≥ 35 mmHg when S2F ≥ 36 Hz were found to be 79.34% and 67.05%, respectively, according to ROC analysis. Severity classification was performed using S2F, the area under the ROC curve was 0.712–0.838 for mild PH, 0.774–0.888 for moderate PH, and 0.826–0.940 for severe PH.ConclusionsS2F collected by the mobile cardiac acoustic monitoring system offers a convenient method for remote PH screening, potentially improving PH management and outcomes.

Published: December 2023

IntroductionThere has been a surge of research on the power of play to facilitate learning in recent years. Guided play, specifically, has emerged as an optimal learning approach over free play and direct instruction. However, whether parents' attitudes toward play align with the emerging research remains largely unexplored. Addressing this gap, the present study is the first to operationalize play by using the playful learning spectrum (i.e., free play, guided play, games, and direct instruction) to investigate parents' attitudes toward play.MethodsThe study surveyed a broad, national sample of parents with at least one child aged 2 to 12 years living in the United States (N = 1,172). To understand preferences for each approach and the factors related to those preferences, we examined how individuals regarded each of the four learning approaches and ran a series of regressions predicting perceptions of learning from the approaches as a function of demographic and attitudinal factors. These regressions were estimated in two different ways, allowing us to identify which predictors were related to each outcome as well as which explained these perceptions uniquely, over and above other predictors.ResultsThe findings revealed a preference for play over direct instruction, with parents likely to perceive free play as most conducive to learning. Regression analyses uncovered significant variations in perceptions based on demographic and attitudinal factors, with highly educated respondents most likely to endorse free play, more knowledgeable respondents most likely to endorse guided play and the least educated respondents most likely to favor direct instruction.DiscussionWhile the study reveals parents' evolving, positive attitudes toward play, it also underscores a gap between academic research, which highlights the advantages of guided play, and parents' perceptions. Implications for parent support initiatives are discussed.

IntroductionThe instruments for evaluation of educational courses are often highly complex and specifically designed for a given type of training. Therefore, the aims of this study were to develop a simple and generic EDUcational Course Assessment TOOLkit (EDUCATOOL) and determine its measurement properties.MethodsThe development of EDUCATOOL encompassed: (1) a literature review; (2) drafting the questionnaire through open discussions between three researchers; (3) Delphi survey with five content experts; and (4) consultations with 20 end-users. A subsequent validity and reliability study involved 152 university students who participated in a short educational course. Immediately after the course and a week later, the participants completed the EDUCATOOL post-course questionnaire. Six weeks after the course and a week later, they completed the EDUCATOOL follow-up questionnaire. To establish the convergent validity of EDUCATOOL, the participants also completed the “Questionnaire for Professional Training Evaluation.”ResultsThe EDUCATOOL questionnaires include 12 items grouped into the following evaluation components: (1) reaction; (2) learning; (3) behavioural intent (post-course)/behaviour (follow-up); and (4) expected outcomes (post-course)/results (follow-up). In confirmatory factor analyses, comparative fit index (CFI = 0.99 and 1.00), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA = 0.05 and 0.03), and standardised root mean square residual (SRMR = 0.07 and 0.03) indicated adequate goodness of fit for the proposed factor structure of the EDUCATOOL questionnaires. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for convergent validity of the post-course and follow-up questionnaires were 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.61, 0.78) and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.78, 0.91), respectively. The internal consistency reliability of the evaluation components expressed using Cronbach’s alpha ranged from 0.83 (95% CI: 0.78, 0.87) to 0.88 (95% CI: 0.84, 0.92) for the post-course questionnaire and from 0.95 (95% CI: 0.93, 0.96) to 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95, 0.98) for the follow-up questionnaire. The test–retest reliability ICCs for the overall evaluation scores of the post-course and follow-up questionnaires were 0.87 (95% CI: 0.78, 0.92) and 0.91 (95% CI: 0.85, 0.94), respectively.ConclusionThe EDUCATOOL questionnaires have adequate factorial validity, convergent validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability and they can be used to evaluate training and learning programmes.

ObjectiveTo compare the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of sterilizing rare earth carbonate combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and simple concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of late-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to analyze the reasons for the differences.MethodA total of 817 patients with pathologically diagnosed late-stage NSCLC from June 1, 2021 to December 30, 2022, in the affiliated hospital of Kunming University of Science and Technology, were selected. They were randomly divided into a control group of 394 people and an experimental group of 423 people. The control group was given concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cisplatin + etoposide), while the experimental group simultaneously took a low dose of sterilized rare earth carbonate (0.05mg/Kg). The χ² test and Fisher’s test were used to compare the clinical pathological features, objective response rate (ORR), ECOG score, and adverse reactions of the two groups of patients, while survival analysis was used to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of the two groups. Cox regression analysis was used to test factors related to prognosis.ResultsThe differences in clinical pathological features between the two groups of patients were not statistically significant, with all P&gt;0.05. The ORR of the control group was 45.18% (178/394), and the experimental group was 89.83% (380/423), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.001). After treatment, the ECOG score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, P&lt;0.001. The adverse reaction grading of patients in both groups was below level 3 after treatment, and no treatment-related fatalities occurred. The risk of pulmonary infection and bone marrow suppression in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group.ConclusionIn late-stage NSCLC patients, compared with simple concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the combination of concurrent chemoradiotherapy and sterilizing rare earth carbonate can significantly improve the short-term therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients, with good safety.
