description: Only about 50% of intensive care unit (ICU) patients reach a free trough concentration above MIC (100% fT > MIC) of beta-lactam antibiotics. Although dose adjustments based on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) could be beneficial, TDM is not widely available. We investigated serum creatinine-based estimated GFR (eGFR) as a rapid screening tool to identify ICU patients at risk of insufficient exposure. Ninety-three adult patients admitted to four ICUs in southeast Sweden treated with piperacillin/tazobactam, meropenem, or cefotaxime were included. Beta-lactam trough concentrations were measured. The concentration target was set to 100% fT > MICECOFF (2, 4, and 16 mg/L based on calculated free levels for meropenem, cefotaxime, and piperacillin, respectively). eGFR was primarily determined via Chronic Kidney Disease–Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and compared to three other eGFR equations. Data was analysed using logistic regression and receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curves. With intermittent standard dosing, insufficient exposure was common in patients with a relative eGFR ≥48mL/min/1.73m2 [85%, (45/53)], particularly when treated with cefotaxime [96%, (24/25)]. This eGFR cut-off had a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 82% (AUC 0.871, p < 0.001) in identifying insufficient exposure. In contrast, patients with eGFR <48mL/min/1.73m2 had high target attainment [90%, (36/40)] with a wide variability in drug exposure. There was no difference between the four eGFR equations (AUC 0.866–0.872, cut-offs 44–51 ml/min/1.73m2). Serum creatinine-based eGFR is a simple and widely available surrogate marker with potential for early identification of ICU patients at risk of insufficient exposure to piperacillin, meropenem, and cefotaxime.

description: Skill demand and supply mismatch is a global problem identified as a root cause of unemployment, urging education and training institutions to revise their curriculum with the collaboration of industries. This article aimed to analyze prior research outputs on the effective Linkage of technical and vocational training institutions with industries and extract lessons for Ethiopia. The study covered 30 purposefully selected articles and analyzed thematically to identify lessons and implications that fit Ethiopia. The findings highlighted Linkage as a platform for sharing powers and responsibilities between education and training institutions and serve as a workplace transition. Linkage can be through qualification standard setting, curriculum development, internship, and apparent ship programs. The industry serves as a laboratory that allows trainees to analyze, synthesize, and reflect on the technological needs and challenges of industries, enables them to solve problems of industries, creates employment opportunities, allows industries to select competent workers, helps to share training costs and exchange expertise, builds the image of technical and vocational training. The findings further identified the challenges of Linkage and its coping strategies. Finally, the review concluded that Linkage is necessary rather than the choice to minimize skill mismatches, reduce unemployment, and increase productivity, especially in countries like Ethiopia that run short of training resources. However, further research is needed to monitor the situation continuously and determine appropriate policy changes for skill development interventions. Technical and Vocational Education and Training is the best human resource development strategy that plays a crucial role in enhancing the competency and employability of individuals through updating and upgrading their skills, knowledge, and attitude. Fostering collaboration between TVET institutions and industries through internships and apprenticeships enables learners to gain practical experience, make valuable connections between theory and practice, and ensure graduates are adequately prepared for the workforce. However, ensuring a successful and sustainable partnership between educational institutions and industries is facing various challenges, including changing industrial demands and technological advancements, misalignment of curriculum and industry needs, limited resources and infrastructure, weak quality assurance and accreditation systems, and a lack of awareness and understanding among educational institutions and industries about the benefits of the linkage. They are addressing these challenges and ensuring employability, which requires collaboration between academic institutions, industries, and government agencies.

description: This study examined students' awareness of the environmental impacts associated with prolonged screen time, specifically during binge-watching sessions. It focused on students' understanding of carbon emissions from electronic devices, binge-watching behaviors, and factors like content preference, duration, and frequency. Potential interventions to reduce environmental impacts were also explored. A mixed-methods approach gathered data from 525 higher education students (150 male, 375 female) through standardized questionnaires. Analysis included percentages, t-tests, ANOVA, multiple correlations, and coding. Findings showed that 66.67% of students demonstrated a high understanding of environmental impacts from binge-watching, while only 4.76% were highly aware of carbon emissions from extended screen time. High binge-watching habits were noted in 23.81% of students. Gender differences were significant: females had a deeper understanding of environmental impacts (t = 4.08, p < α) and displayed different binge-watching habits compared to males (t = 3.16, p < α). However, no significant gender difference was found in carbon emissions awareness (t = 0.28, p > α). A strong distinction (t = 12.98, p < α) existed between understanding environmental impacts and carbon emissions awareness. Weak positive correlation (R = 0.36) and significant differences [F(2, 1572) = 320.10, p < 0.05, 0.01] emerged regarding environmental understanding, emissions awareness, and binge-watching behaviors. Influencing factors and potential interventions were identified. This study examines the environmental impact of binge-watching, highlighting a key public concern. Despite the widespread use of digital technology, few students are aware of the carbon emissions associated with extended screen time. Interestingly, women show a deeper understanding of these environmental effects than men, although awareness of emissions remains low across both groups. The research stresses the importance of raising public awareness and educating people about the environmental consequences of binge-watching. It also identifies content choices and viewing habits as significant factors, suggesting that targeted interventions and policy measures could help reduce the environmental footprint of digital consumption. This study is relevant for policymakers and the public, advocating for collective action to address the environmental challenges posed by modern digital behavior.

description: To promote health equity, it is crucial to educate the next generation of healthcare workers about disparities early on during their education. We developed a virtual research program at a medical school in the United States of America with the goal of increasing the awareness of youth about the complexities of health inequities. The program was based on a near-peer mentorship where high school students were coached by medical student mentors under the oversight of an experienced faculty mentor. We evaluated the participants’ perspectives about the program using a mixed quantitative and qualitative method. Upon completion of the program, the participants were asked to complete a survey and rate their self-perceived knowledge, efficacy skills and interest in addressing health disparities in the future. Additionally, the participants’ perspectives about the program were gathered using open-ended questions and analyzed using thematic analysis. Our preliminary findings indicate that the program enhanced the participants’ knowledge about the complexities of health disparities and their motivation to address them in the future. The near-peer mentorship model was valuable in success of the program. The implications to enhance intrinsic and extrinsic instincts through partnerships among educational settings, underserved communities, policy makers and healthcare agencies is discussed.

description: Using SaTScan™ Geographical Information Systems (GIS), spatial cluster analysis was used to examine spatial trends and identify high-risk clusters of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) incidence in response to changing levels of public health intervention phases including international and state border closures, statewide vaccination coverage, and masking requirements. Changes in COVID-19 incidence were mapped at the statistical area 2 (SA2) level using a GIS and spatial cluster analysis was performed using SaTScan™ to identify most-likely clusters (MLCs) during intervention phases. Over the study period, significant high-risk clusters were identified in Brisbane city (relative risk = 30.83), the southeast region (RR = 1.71) and moving to Far North Queensland (FNQ) (RR = 2.64). For masking levels, cluster locations were similar, with MLC in phase 1 in the southeast region (RR = 2.56) spreading to FNQ in phase 2 (RR = 2.22) and phase 3 (RR = 2.64). All p values <.0001. Movement restrictions in the form of state and international border closures were highly effective in delaying the introduction of COVID-19 into Queensland, with very low levels of transmission prior to border reopening while mandatory masking may have played a role in decreasing transmission through behavioural changes. Early clusters were in highly populated regions, as restrictions eased clusters were identified in regions more likely to be rural or remote, with higher numbers of Indigenous people, lower vaccination coverage or lower socioeconomic status.

description: Characterizing who participates in and contributes to science communication efforts can extend our understanding of the science education ecosystem, including giving insight into what kinds of communication works for whom and under what conditions. We describe methods for characterizing an online, scientific affinity space using @TimeScavengers as our exemplar. @TimeScavengers is an educational and science communication effort centered on geosciences, and uses varied online platforms, including Twitter (now known as X). We applied an established framework to describe members who connected with @TimeScavengers’ Twitter (n = 1113) and analyzed data (e.g. tweets, replies, mentions, and re-tweets) (n = 6538) collected from the community for an annual cycle of activity (January 2020–2021) via social network analysis, topic modeling, and diversity indices. Social network analysis showed a highly dispersed network with scientists in control of information flow. Topic modeling of tweets with original content (n = 855) generated six topics related to collaboration, connection, and scientific outreach. Application of diversity indices indicated that scientists and education and outreach members were most prevalent across topics. Using these methods uncovers deeper understanding of the community and interactions within the space, which can lead to the development of better science communication efforts in the digital realm. We looked at who took part in science communication on Twitter, using a specific handle (@TimeScavengers) to understand this. Using different methods, we found that scientists shared most of the information. We identified six main topics in the tweets, mostly about working together, connecting with others, and sharing science. We also found that scientists and people involved in education and outreach were the most active. By studying these online communities, we can improve how science is communicated and engaged with by the public. This helps us understand the best ways to share science online.

description: Convalescent plasma (CP) emerged as potential treatment for COVID-19 early in the pandemic. While efficacy in hospitalised patients has been lacklustre, CP may be beneficial at the first stages of disease. Despite multiple new variants emerging, no trials have involved analyses on variant-specific antibody titres of CP. We recruited hospitalised COVID-19 patients within 10 days of symptom onset and, employing a double-blinded approach, randomised them to receive 200 ml convalescent plasma with high (HCP) or low (LCP) neutralising antibody (NAb) titre against the ancestral strain (Wuhan-like variant) or placebo in 1:1:1 ratio. Primary endpoints comprised intubation, corticosteroids for symptom aggravation, and safety assessed as serious adverse events. For a preplanned ad hoc analysis, the patients were regrouped by infused CP’s NAb titers to variants infecting the recipients i.e. by titres of homologous HCP (hHCP) or LCP (hLCP). Of the 57 patients, 18 received HCP, 19 LCP and 20 placebo, all groups smaller than planned. No significant differences were found for primary endpoints. In ad hoc analysis, hHCPrecipients needed significantly less respiratory support, and appeared to be given corticosteroids less frequently (1/14; 7.1%) than those receiving hLCP (9/23; 39.1%) or placebo (8/20; 40%), (p = 0.077). Our double-blinded, placebo-controlled CP therapy trial remained underpowered and does not allow any firm conclusions for early-stage hospitalised COVID-19 patients. Interestingly, however, regrouping by homologous – recipients’ variant-specific – CP titres suggested benefits for hHCP. We encourage similar re-analysis of ongoing/previous larger CP studies.

Ceilometer observations of Vancouver's urban boundary layer : validation and mixed-layer height estimation
Creators: name: Van Der Kamp, Derek
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: A mini-lidar system, Vaisala's CL31 ceilometer, was installed within a suburban area of Vancouver, BC, for the purpose of making continuous observations of the boundary layer over a period of 11 months. Initial validation of the ceilometer for use in boundary layer observations was undertaken. This involved the comparison of ceilometer data with eight months of ground-level particulate matter measurements, as well as with 16 vertical profiles of particulate matter and meteorological data. Once a variety of persistent noise structures within the data were accounted for, it was found that the ceilometer data showed good agreement with the particulate matter data, suggesting its usefulness for assessing air-quality throughout the bottom 1km of the atmosphere. Additionally, two algorithms were developed in order to estimate the height of the convective boundary layer, or the mixed-layer height, from the ceilometer data. One involved the fitting of an ideal-profile to the measured data, while the other involved the location of a minimum-gradient in the backscatter profile. The performance of these two techniques were assessed and compared, and it was found that the ideal-profile method was the more robust of the two. Finally, mixed-layer heights were estimated for fair weather, convectively active days. In order to isolate such conditions, an automatic flagging algorithm was developed. However, additional manual assessment was needed to avoided unsuitable conditions. Mixed-layer heights were estimated for 19 days over an 11 month period. the estimates presented here were found to agree with previous observations. Daily maximum mixed-layer heights ranged from 650m in July to 350m in December, indicating that the height of the convective boundary layer within Vancouver is significantly suppressed due to the city's coastal location.

The type specimen BMNH 1946.8.7.56 (Fig. 4), collected by Smith, matches perfectly his description and drawings (Smith 1845). However, it is evident that Smith described only one side of the voucher; femoral pores are given by Smith (1845) as 13, but are left side 13, right side 14; Smith described the freno-nasal and the freno-ocular plate (Smith 1845) as “freno-nasal plate small, quadrangular, rather longer than deep, freno-ocular plate large and subtriangular” (Plate 48: 3 and 3a), whereas on the right side the freno-nasal plate is small, quadrangular, rather longer than deep, and the freno-ocular plate large and subtriangular, and on the left side the freno-nasal and freno-ocular are fused (Fig. 4). This is consistent with the lithograph in Plate 48: 3 and 3a being reversed and showing the right side of the head, which as FitzSimons (1937) explained, is a consequence of this printing technique. However, this contradicts our findings regarding Plate 48: 7a (Smith 1845) depicting E. capensis.
Why the description of the type specimen given by Boulenger (1921) does not match with Smith (1845) cannot be determined. All specimens of P. laticeps examined by Boulenger (1921) are still in the BMNH collection and can be assigned correctly, plus three specimens (BMNH 1988.511, BMNH 1988.513–514) subsequently presented by E. N. Arnold in 1988 (Table 2).
Although BMNH 1946.8.7.56 is treated as the type of E. laticeps, it should be noted that Smith described one voucher in detail but mentioned a total of three specimens (Smith 1845), which consequently form syntypes. All other specimens in the collection of the BMNH presented by Smith or Lord Derby cannot be the one described by Smith as none has only 5 upper labials in front of the subocular (Smith 1845, Plate 48: 3a; Fig. 4 and Table 2 this work). For stability we herein designate in accordance with Articles 74.1. and 74.7. of the Code (ICZN, 1999), specimen BMNH 1946.8.7.56 as lectotype of Pedioplanis laticeps Smith, 1845, which is depicted on plate 46 figure 1 and plate 48, figures 3 and 3a of the original description. Consequently, specimens BMNH 1865.5.4.87 and BMNH 1865.5.4.88 become paralectotypes.

description: The study of social demand and labor demand analyzes the relevance of the planning of higher education programs to meet the needs of society. Given this, the present study aims to identify social and labor demand in the Amazon region, through a case study applied in the province of Rodríguez de Mendoza. The methodology used was a descriptive, non-experimental design with a population composed of fourth and fifth-grade students from secondary institutions and organizations with economic activities in the province. The sample used was 747 students and 84 organizations, to which a survey was applied to collect the information. The results show that 72% are willing to study at the National University Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza and 38.7% of the students want to study Agribusiness Engineering, followed by Agroecology Engineering with 24.2%. It is concluded that the affinity for these two fields of study is because the province has great agro-export potential, with coffee being its main agricultural export product. This study explores the analysis of the demand and supply of higher education, identifying graduate competencies. It reveals a strong demand for agricultural programs, particularly Agribusiness and Agroecological Engineering, reflecting the economic focus of the area. Interestingly, students prefer face-to-face learning, defying global trends toward online education. The research predicts a significant gap between the number of graduates and labor market needs by 2030, highlighting urgent challenges for universities and policymakers. This mismatch could affect regional development and employment opportunities for young people. The study also shows how family background influences career choices, as most students come from agricultural families. These findings are crucial for planning an education that meets both student aspirations and economic needs, which could shape the future workforce and economy of the region. It also provides a methodology for analyzing social and labor demand when creating new programs of study.

When I'm in it... the written component : a sculptural exploration of the creative process

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Abstract This project was in the Dorothy Somerset Studios on the University of British Columbia Campus during the week of April 14th till the 20th, 2008. I was advised by Professor Alison Green and Professor Richard Prince. The project’s title was When I’m in it… . It consisted of three groupings of sculptures set within the black box theatre space (see Illus. 1A, B and C). The Pattern Bubbles sculpture consisted of hollow tissue balls suspended from the ceiling, each containing a small and suspended object. These bubbles were suspended in a line, at different heights, and they were lit from within (see Illus. 2A and B). The entire theatre space was also lit using the lights on the grid in the theatre. A Silhouetted Cast consisted of Styrofoam cutouts shaped like dress forms covered with muslin and padding (see Illus. 3A, B and C). These cutouts were about 4ft X 2ft X 3inches. On one side I had a mixed media collage of imagery pinned to the muslin covering and on the other side were phrases stenciled right onto the muslin. These forms stood on the floor atop actual iron dress form stands. There were eight of these silhouettes, each one representing a character from a theatre production for which I had designed the costumes and the information on each one came from that experience. Costume Aprons, the final sculpture in the space, was also suspended from the ceiling. It had eight aprons made from cottons, silks and burlap hanging from a laundry carousel. The aprons were hung from the lines with silver bulldog stationary clips. I had hand-embroidered words on the aprons using embroidery threads of many different colors. In the pocket of each of the aprons was the title page from a script on blue paper (see Illus. 4A, B, C, and D). The black curtains were drawn around the square perimeter of the theatre stage, and you could still see the audience seating and the theatre booth. There was a soundtrack playing constantly within the space.

description: Research on peer feedback has proven that it enhancess learning by fostering student agency and providing a deeper understanding of assessment criteria and greater capacity for self-reflection, which become key strategies for self-regulated learning. However, peer feedback does not seem to have been systematically involved in teacher training processes, especially in ongoing training. The previous literature on this topic reports both the scarcity of practices and the difficulties in their implementation. The absence of institutional support, the lack of training (which affects the quality of feedback) or the existence of non-peer relationships nor collaborative processes are some of the problems highlighted. The results show that peer feedback practices have benefits for the improvement of teachers’ competencies but that these practices must be developed in teacher collaboration settings, within safe environments. As a conclusion, a decalogue of proposals is drawn up for the design of peer feedback experiences in ongoing training processes and teacher professional development.

description: Comparison of P. laticeps and P. burchelli
The most informative characters to distinguish P. laticeps from P. burchelli were found to be (in combination): having 46 to 64 dorsal scale rows (64 to 80 in burchelli) and 16 to 18 enlarged longitudinal ventral scale rows across the midbody at the median transverse ventral row (12 to 16 in burchelli). In addition, P. laticeps usually has 3 bulging nasal scales on each side with the interior ones separated from each other (non-bulging or only slightly bulging and broadly in contact in burchelli), five or more upper labials anterior to the subocular (mostly 4 in burchelli), five or more pairs of chin shields (mostly 4 in burchelli), 28–32 lamellae beneath the 4th toe (25–28 in burchelli), and generally more and smaller granules around the supraoculars; particularly the inner row of granules around the supraoculars is always absent in burchelli.
Based on the re-description of P. laticeps and P. burchelli we conclude that BMNH 1988.512 collected as P. laticeps is in fact P. burchelli, as it has only 14 transverse ventral scale rows, 72 dorsal scale rows, only 10 granules in front of the supraoculars, only 4 chin shields. Additionally, specimen BMNH 1988.515 can be identified as Meroles knoxii as the subocular is separated from the lip by a labial scale, it has 3 scales rather than several small granules anterior to the first supraocular, and 4 chin shields of which only the first two are in contact along their entire interior edge (Table 2).

description: Interprofessional learning (IPL) is a fundamental component of the curricula on healthcare degree programmes, however maintaining student engagement/motivation in IPL sessions presents challenges. ‘Gamification’ poses an innovative pedagogical technique to improve engagement. This study aimed to evaluate staff/student perspectives on the use of gamification in IPL within healthcare programmes. A mixed methods research design was utilised to collect qualitative and quantitative data using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) with staff and undergraduate students on healthcare programmes. This involved viewing a video on gamification in IPL; silent idea generation; group discussion, and idea ranking by importance. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted on qualitative responses, whilst quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Five staff and two students (n = 7) were recruited. Maintaining student motivation and planning appropriate gamified activities were ranked most important, whilst credit weightings, online sessions and timetabling were barriers. Key themes included student motivation, session design and practical challenges. This paper presents significant initial findings on staff/student perspectives regarding gamification in IPL. Recommendations to implement gamification include consideration of motivating factors, collaborative session design and provision of appropriate tasks/incentives. Co-production of gamification involving students and service users is fundamental to ensure clinical relevance, engagement and alignment to IPL values.
