description: Clinical reasoning is an important competence for physicians, hence the need to teach medical students this essential skill during undergraduate medical education. Various approaches can be taken, and most of them are case-based in nature. Recent findings from educational psychology indicate that repeated formative testing enhances long-term retention, and some of our own previous work supports the underlying 'retrieval hypothesis'. In this study, the concept of test-enhanced learning is used in combination with elaboration and feedback. Fourth-year medical students participate in 10 weekly electronic seminars (e-seminars) during which they work on virtual patient cases, each of which is interrupted by a number of key feature questions with a long answer menu. This production test has been shown to be more effective in terms of learning outcome than recognition tests such as multiple choice questions. During e-seminars, students are presented with follow-on questions to key feature questions that had been answered incorrectly in the past. These follow-on questions are meant to induce elaboration. Following each e-seminar, students receive individual emails containing the number of points achieved in that respective e-seminar as well as their own written answers to follow-on questions and an expert comments. Thus, students can compare their own answer to what was deemed to be an appropriate answer by their teacher. This is a randomised cross-over study which means that all students will receive the intervention but, depending on the group a student is in, different items will be intervention or control items, respectively. Student performance is assessed in a key feature examination at the end of term as well as after 6 months of follow-up. The main analysis will compare student performance in intervention and control items.

description: We propose a new method for optomechanical quantum non-demolition (QND) detection of phonon number, based on a "shelving" style measurement. The scheme uses a two-mode optomechanical system where the frequency splitting of the two photonic modes is near-resonant with the mechanical frequency. The combination of a strong optical drive and the underlying nonlinear optomechanical interaction gives rise to spin-like dynamics which facilitate the measurement. This approach allows phonon number measurement to be accomplished parametrically faster than in other schemes which are restricted to weak driving. The ultimate power of the scheme is controlled by the size of the single photon optomechanical cooperativity.

description: Background: Biologics are new treatment alternatives in Takayasu Arteritis (TA), although data in childhood is limited. The aim of this study was to share our experience in seven childhood-onset TA patients who received a TNF-α inhibitor (adalimumab) or the IL-6 receptor inhibitor (tocilizumab) and the effect of switching therapy. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the medical treatment records of seven patients with TA, followed between August 2005 and January 2021 at the Pediatric Rheumatology Department of Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey. Disease severity was based on the Numano classification. Indian Takayasu Arteritis Score (ITAS) was used to assess disease activity. Results: The median age of patients was 14 (11-15) years, and 6 were female. All of the patients had severe disease with type III-V involvement according to the Numano classification. All had high acute-phase reactants. The patients initially received only steroids or steroids+CYC. Prednisone was decreased and biological agents were started once the acute phase reactants decreased, and ITAS returned to normal. Initially, four patients received tocilizumab (TCZ), and three patients adalimumab (ADA) (Table I). However, due to the progression of MR angiography findings or persistent elevation in acute-phase reactants, the biological agents were switched from TCZ to ADA in four patients (patient number-pn:1, 2, 3, 4) and from ADA to TCZ in three patients (pn:5, 6, 7). There was no significant difference between median ITAS scores after biological agent change (median ITAS; 0 (0-1) in ADA-TCZ and 0 (0-0.5) in TCZ-ADA, respectively). Conclusions: In conclusion, both TNF-α and IL-6 inhibitors are effective alternatives in treating patients with childhood-onset TA. However, prospective randomized controlled trials are needed for the comparison of their effectiveness. Disclosures: None

description: Die Projektgruppe 544: DoVinci entwickelt ein Campus-Infrastruktur-System mit dem sich Personen auf dem Campus Anwendungen herunterladen und diese auf ihrem (mobilen) Endgerät ausführen können. Diese Anwendungen werden in Form von Appliances (Betriebssystem + Anwendung) bereitgestellt, was dazu führt, dass Installation und Wartung von der Rolle des Benutzers entkoppelt werden. Stattdessen wird auf dem Betriebssystem des Nutzers eine virtuelle Umgebung erzeugt, in welcher das Appliance-Betriebssystem, und damit auch die Anwendung, gestartet wird. Die Vorteile von Virtualisierung sind Isolation vom Nutzersystem (Schutz) sowie eine definierte Betriebssystemumgebung (Dediziertheit) für die Anwendung in der Appliance. Dabei liegt ein Schwerpunkt bei der Verringerung des Datenvolumens sowohl für die erste heruntergeladene Appliance, als auch für weitere Appliances und Updates. Mittel hierzu sind Maßschneiderung (Weglassen nicht benötigter Dateien und Programme) und Sharing (gemeinsame Dateinutzung). Maßschneiderung optimiert Appliances bezüglich Platzbedarf und verringert so das Übertragungsvolumen des ersten Downloads. Sharing zwischen Appliances bedeutet, dass alle Appliances auf einen gemeinsamen Datenspeicher zugreifen. Beim Download einer weiteren Appliance müssen bereits vorhandene Daten nicht heruntergeladen werden. So wird das Übertragungsvolumen weiterer Appliances reduziert. Um die oben genannten Ziele zu erreichen, werden im Rahmen von DoVinci verschiedene Techniken untersucht, verglichen und gegebenenfalls implementiert. Dazu gehören Wege zur Dienstfindung im WLAN, plattformunabhängiger Up-/Download mit Synchronisation, Maßschneiderung, Sharing und verschiedene Virtualisierungslösungen.

description: The main purpose of this study is identifying project success factors that influence ERP project post implementation success at Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. ERP plays an important role in today's enterprise management and is beginning to be the backbone of organizations. However, its implementation is complex and risky. Research has been done for ERP project implementations in numerous environments but there is a serious gap in the literature regarding post implementation success in the Ethiopia context. Besides, post-implementation characteristics that can be used to gauge levels of project success, with emphasis on those that may be unique to banking industry in this research, the researcher had investigated ERP implementation in CBE which had implemented and used this system. The evaluation was based on CSFs (Critical Success Factor) which cited as index for success of ERP implementation in others project implementation researches. Explanatory research design was used for the study, with a quantitative study methodology to analyze an institution that implements ERP projects. The target population was 132 Human resource Personnel out of which convenience sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 60. Data was collected by using questionnaire at project implementation levels of the organization. The data collected was analyzed using statistical Package for Social Sciences. The study found that CSFs, human resource competency and communication and consultation of stakeholders has significant relationship with successful ERP implementation at CBE. The study also shows all five CSFs are the most important to success of the ERP project post implementation success at CBE: project mission and objective, top management support, human resource competency, schedule and plans and communication and consultation of stakeholders. This study demonstrated that success factors have indeed evolved according to the type of project and the environment that the project is operating. The researcher recommended for other banks to consider the five Critical Success Factors while implementing ERP system in order to realize post implementation benefit. Furthermore, practical implications to CBE and future studies were highlighted.

description: Despite the fact that the implementation of the my proposal to the apparent internal communication problem of City Sightseeing could not be carried out due to logistics issues and prioritization of other important activities, this problem undeniably affects the service and the attention towards the public, which consequently affects the reputation of the company. This is evidenced by the low demand that some of our tours have. Even when commercial efforts and operational logistics manage to reach agreements, it seems that it is impossible to search for an effective internal organization, which is clearly achieved through communication and feedback between colleagues and supervisors. Nowadays, success is achieved through helping each other out, since we live in a society where interaction represents an essential part of managing companies, especially when we are required to use virtual platforms to promote products. If employees are unaware of the existence of a communication route that gives them the opportunity to solve problems in a more organized and efficient way, then how can we provide a favorable service that is not so flawed in the customers’ eye?

description: In the problem of estimating the lower and upper tail copula we propose two bootstrap procedures for approximating the distribution of the corresponding empirical tail copulas. The first method uses a multiplier bootstrap of the empirical tail copula process and requires estimation of the partial derivatives of the tail copula. The second method avoids this estimation problem and uses multipliers in the two-dimensional empirical distribution function and in the estimates of the marginal distributions. For both multiplier bootstrap procedures we prove consistency. For these investigations we demonstrate that the common assumption of the existence of continuous partial derivatives in the literature on tail copula estimation is so restrictive, such that the tail copula corresponding to asymptotic independence is the only tail copula with this property. Moreover, we are able to solve this problem and prove weak convergence of the empirical tail copula process under nonrestrictive smoothness assumptions which are satisfied for many commonly used models. These results are applied in several statistical problems including minimum distance estimation and goodness-of-fit testing. AMS Subject Classification: Primary 62G32 ; secondary 62G20

description: We study triangles $ABC$ and points $P$ for which the generalized orthocenter $H$ corresponding to $P$ coincides with a vertex $A,B$, or $C$. The set of all such points $P$ is a union of three ellipses minus $6$ points. In addition, if $T_P$ is the affine map taking $ABC$ to the cevian triangle $DEF$ of $P$ with respect to $ABC$, $P'$ is the isotomic conjugate of $P$, and $T_{P'}$ is the affine map taking $ABC$ to the cevian triangle of $P'$, then we study the locus of points $P$ for which the map $\textsf{M}_P=T_p \circ K^{-1} \circ T_{P'}$ is a translation. Here, $K$ is the complement map for $ABC$, and $\textsf{M}_P$ is an affine map taking the circumconic of $ABC$ for $P$ to the inconic of $ABC$ for $P$. The locus in question turns out to be an elliptic curve minus $6$ points, which can be synthetically constructed using the geometry of the triangle.

description: We prove that any one-dimensional (1D) quantum state with small quantum conditional mutual information in all certain tripartite splits of the system, which we call a quantum approximate Markov chain, can be well-approximated by a Gibbs state of a short-range quantum Hamiltonian. Conversely, we also derive an upper bound on the (quantum) conditional mutual information of Gibbs states of 1D short-range quantum Hamiltonians. We show that the conditional mutual information between two regions A and C conditioned on the middle region B decays exponentially with the square root of the length of B. These two results constitute a variant of the Hammersley-Clifford theorem (which characterizes Markov networks, i.e. probability distributions which have vanishing conditional mutual information, as Gibbs states of classical short-range Hamiltonians) for 1D quantum systems. The result can be seen as a strengthening - for 1D systems - of the mutual information area law for thermal states. It directly implies an efficient preparation of any 1D Gibbs state at finite temperature by a constant-depth quantum circuit.

description: Undergraduates majoring in geoscience are often unaware of their career options beyond traditional resource industries; they need explicit supports to consider their post-graduation options. This mixed methods study sought to fill gaps in the literature related to the overabundance of solely quantitative studies related to career awareness and the dearth of studies on career awareness courses that are guided by theory. The study investigates the challenges geoscience undergraduate students face when considering a career, what resources students use to find career information, and the benefits of a geoscience career awareness and planning course (career course) rooted in cognitive information processing (CIP) theory. Data were collected via our Career Resource Survey (from both career course participants and a comparison group), course assignments, and focus groups. Findings indicate that many students do not know what careers they can pursue in the geosciences, nor what the specific titles of careers mean (e.g., hydrology technician vs. hydrologist). Undergraduate students report using a variety of resources to learn more about careers and to find jobs, but no particular resource stands out as being primarily used. The career course supported students in terms of guidance, tools, and connecting with geoscience careers. Specifically, the course supported students in exploring myriad geoscience-related careers, identifying the specific steps needed to pursue these careers, meeting and connecting with a variety of people in geoscience careers, and seeing the value of their geoscience degrees. Other geoscience programs may consider creating a similar course, or implementing components of the course as connected to CIP theory. Professional geoscientists and organizations may consider being more proactive in connecting with undergraduate students to support their knowledge of, and transition into, geoscience careers. Being deliberate in exposing undergraduates to geoscience career opportunities may help to attract and keep students engaged in the field, and to graduate geoscientists who are more highly-qualified for the workforce.
Youth Empowerment Project; Its Implementation And Implication For Youth Well being: The Case Of Kolfe Keranio Sub City, Wereda 9 Youth Center

description: The study was concerned with an assessment of youth empowerment project; its implementation and implication for youth wellbeing: the case of Kolfe Keranio Sub City, Wereda 9 youth center. The youth empowerments' implication for their social welfare, economic benefit and health were assessed. Qualitative research method was used; and case study was employed among qualitative research design. The study participants were selected by using non probability method; purposive sampling selection technique was employed to select study participants. Accordingly, sixteen youth interviewees and seven key informants were considered. Youths and the key informants were selected by basing the objectives of the study and then dividing activities of the project in to four main categories. Interview guide was used to generate data from youth interviewees and key informants; and observation was also conducted by the use of observation checklist. The data obtained was analyzed thematically based on the study objectives and was discussed in line with literatures related to youth empowerments, the fundamental assumptions of Positive Youth Development Model and Project Management Landscapes. It was found that youth center has something to do with youth empowerments. It contributes more in terms of building good social relationship both among them and with the wider society. Though minimal, health and economic implications of the empowerment process were also found. Inability to go in line with the planned procedures, failure to have a detailed plan, inadequacy of regular budget for the activities to be executed in the center, inability to have regular review meeting with the concerned stakeholders, failure to consult the major beneficiaries [youths] regularly are among the major challenges of the project. Lastly, though it did not firmly align with the requirements of Contemporary Project Management, youth empowerment in the area creates opportunities for youth development. Thus, what need to be done for further advancement of comparable projects are stated in a form of recommendations.

Als Hauptergebnis zeigt sich eine mittel bis gering beruflich belastete Lehrerschaft mit einem hohen beruflichen Kompetenzerleben, die sich mit den schulischen Förderbedingungen zufrieden zeigt. Unterschiede zwischen Förder- und Grundschulpädagoginnen ließen sich nur hinsichtlich ihres Selbstwirksamkeitserlebens in der Sprachförderung und ihrer Einstellung zur Integration ausmachen. Letztere ist bei Lehrkräften mit Integrationserfahrung deutlich positiver ausgeprägt als bei Kollegen der Förderschule.
description: This study is part of the project "Sprache 2010". An online questionnaire was completed in 27 schools in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. All head of schools and 92 teachers of a total of 27 inclusive and special schools reported on their satisfaction, resources, attitudes towards, and experiences with special education in children with language impairments. Main results indicate rather low stress experience in teachers alongside a high self-perceived vocational competence, and rather high satisfaction with the status quo. Differences between inclusive and special schooling are only found in few dimensions: self-efficacy and appreciation of integration. Both are found to be higher in teachers of inclusive settings. Also, teachers with experience in inclusive settings have a more positive attitude towards inclusion than their colleagues appointed to special schools.

description: Our study analyzes the consequences of workers’ participation in the wage setting process on effort exertion. The experimental design is based on a modified gift-exchange game where the degree of workers’ involvement in the wage setting process is systematically varied among the workers. The experimental data reveals that workers’ participation leads actually to a decline in effort exertion which can be explained by negative reciprocity of the respective worker. These results put some recently observed positive effects from workers’ participation in experimental labor markets into perspective and are more in line with the ambiguous results from empirical studies.

description: Background: Kawasaki disease (KD), is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in childhood, with a portion of children developing coronary artery lesions (CAL) despite standard of care treatment, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). Murine and patient data indicate Interleukin-1 (IL-1) contributes to CALs. Calcium mobilization plays a role in inflammasome activation and is key to the immunobiology of KD. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI), a class of medications used to limit gastric acid secretion, have also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Objective: To determine if PPIs inhibit IL-1 production and resulting CALs in the Lactobacillus casei cell wall extract (LCWE) induced coronary arteritis murine model of KD. Methods: Human monocyte cell line (THP1) derived macrophages and bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) were stimulated with a TLR1/2 agonist Pam3Cys-Ser-(Lys)4 (Pam3Cys) and LCWE, in the presence or absence of PPIs. IL-1 was measured via ELISA. To exclude toxic effects, viability was tested via flow cytometry and trypan blue exclusion. Presence of caspase-1 was detected within BMDMs and murine heart tissue via Western Blot. Calcium flux was measured via fluorescent imaging plate reader on THP-1 macrophages. In vivo, KD was induced by intraperitoneal LCWE injection. Mice were injected with LCWE alone, LCWE+PPI, saline or PPI alone. Coronary artery inflammation was blindly scored by a pathologist. Results: Following stimulation with either Pam3Cys or LCWE, PPIs inhibited BMDM IL-1 production in a dose-dependent manner. Inflammasome activation is prevented by PPI inhibition of signal two. Stimulated macrophages treated with a PPI, in vitro, had a less calcium flux than untreated stimulated macrophages. In vivo, compared to untreated KD diseased mice, those treated with PPI were shown to have significantly reduced coronary artery inflammation based on overall cardiac severity score (p<0.01), area of inflammation (p<0.05) and elastin breakdown (p<0.01) Conclusions: Our data indicate that PPIs have anti-inflammatory properties: decreasing macrophage IL-1 production in vitro and in an in vivo KD murine model preventing IL-1 induced coronary artery inflammation. The data suggest two novel findings. Firstly, PPIs may inhibit inflammasome activation by preventing intracellular calcium accumulation. Secondly, PPIs have the potential to be a novel inexpensive, oral, and safe adjuvant anti-IL-1 medication to treat KD. Disclosures: None

description: Training students to become ethical geoscientists has generated significant interest, particularly when confronted with the need to consider geoscience practice in light of geo-technological advances and environmental issues associated with resource extraction, pollution, and climate change. In this research, we examine from the perspective of student geoscientists what it means to be an ethical geoscientist. As part of a sedimentology course that explicitly taught ethics through experiential learning, students reflected on what it meant to be an ethical geoscientist. The student reflections (N = 37) collected at the beginning and end of the semester were analyzed using thematic analysis and interpreted. We used an ethics of care framework to generate three themes which described attentiveness to care, responsibility for care, and competency to provide care. First, attentiveness to care described the act of recognizing one’s own need and the need of others and making intentional efforts to address those needs. Student reflections revealed that attentiveness to one’s integrity and reflecting on one’s own actions in their interactions are important characteristic of an ethical geoscientist. Second, responsibility for care described the recognition of the need to care for the things with which we interact. Students described that being responsible for societal and environmental needs, such as promoting scientific literacy and guarding other species, are the hallmarks of an ethical geoscientist. Finally, competency to provide care described the availability of effective knowledge, skills, and materials to ethically provide care. Student reflections captured competencies related to scientific practice in ensuring data precision, accuracy, and maintaining caring and ethical relationships with colleagues as ethical geoscience characteristics. We suggest instructional strategies that explicitly teach ethics and critical reflection to foster students’ sense of care and interest in geology both as a science and ethical practice.

description: Die Überschätzung der Zahlungsbereitschaft in rein hypothetischen Entscheidungssituationen ist ein in der Literatur wohlbekanntes Phänomen. Zur Eliminierung dieser Verzerrung wurden verschiedene Methoden vorgeschlagen, unter anderen der sogenannte Cheap-Talk-Ansatz und das Consequential-Skript. Auf Basis einer Erhebung unter mehr als 6.500 deutschen Haushalten untersucht dieser Beitrag die Effektivität dieser Korrektive. Nach unseren ökonometrischen Ergebnissen erweist sich allein Cheap Talk als effektiv, senkt jedoch die Zahlungsbereitschaft für grünen Strom nur bei jenen Befragten, die sich nicht ganz sicher hinsichtlich ihrer Angaben zur Zahlungsbereitschaft sind. Darüber hinaus zeigen unsere Befragungsergebnisse einen starken Kontrast zwischen der Unterstützung für erneuerbare Energien und der Zahlungsbereitschaft für grünen Strom. So sprechen sich 85,1% der Antwortenden für die Förderung erneuerbarer Energietechnologien aus, aber nur knapp die Hälfte der Antwortenden ist bereit, für grünen Strom zusätzliche Kosten in Kauf zu nehmen.

description: Spatial reasoning ability is key to an individual’s understanding of geology and geosciences more broadly. One reason why is because spatial ability allows individuals to use multiple external representations (MERs) to understand information that they cannot normally interact with directly, such as the Earth. This article presents results from two studies that investigate the relationship between students’ understanding of plate tectonics and their use of MERs along with spatial ability more broadly. Students’ spatial ability was measured using the Perspective Taking Spatial Orientation Test, Water Level Task, and Purdue Spatial Visualization Tests: Visualization of Rotations. Students’ understanding of plate tectonics was measured using a variable representation assessment. This type of assessment lets students actively use different MERs as answer options. The results of the two studies suggest that spatial ability did not have a direct relationship with students’ scores on the plate tectonics assessment. Instead, students’ understanding of plate tectonics may be better understood through their prior knowledge of the subject and their use of MERs. Specifically, their collective increased attention in using one particular type of representation. More research should be conducted to further understand what scenarios spatial ability aids students’ understanding of plate tectonics and other areas of geosciences.

Super-Sensitive Ancilla-Based Adaptive Quantum Phase Estimation

description: The super-sensitivity attained in quantum phase estimation is known to be compromised in the presence of decoherence. This is particularly patent at blind spots -- phase values at which sensitivity is totally lost. One remedy is to use a precisely known reference phase to shift the operation point of the sensor to a less vulnerable phase value. We present here an alternative approach based on combining the probe with an ancillary degree of freedom containing adjustable parameters to create an entangled quantum state of higher dimension. We validate this concept by simulating a configuration of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a two-photon probe and a polarization ancilla of adjustable parameters, entangled at a polarizing beam splitter. At the interferometer output, the photons are measured after an adjustable unitary transformation in the polarization subspace. Through calculation of the Fisher information and simulation of an adaptive estimation procedure, we show that optimizing the adjustable polarization parameters using an adaptive measurement process provides globally super-sensitive unbiased phase estimates for a range of decoherence levels, without prior information or a reference phase.

description: Fieldwork is a pedagogical cornerstone of many geoscience degrees. During the academic years 2019–20 and 2020–21, the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic made outdoors fieldwork difficult, resulting in an urgent need to develop virtual alternatives. However, there is still more to learn about the impact of teaching fieldwork virtually on the student learning experience. This study aims to assess the student learning experience during immersive and interactive three-dimensional virtual fieldwork and establish the value of digital techniques to improve the inclusivity of geosciences degrees. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected to assess students’ attitudes to virtual fieldwork in comparison to outdoor fieldwork in terms of accessibility, inclusivity and their learning experience. Our results show overall positive student responses to virtual fieldwork, with over half stating it adequately replicated the learning experience of outdoor fieldwork. Students also value outdoor fieldwork for the degree of autonomy it provides, and idea-sharing with peers; yet simultaneously the majority believed outdoor fieldwork is inherently exclusionary. This study concludes that virtual fieldwork, taught using interactive 3D virtual outcrops set within virtual worlds, replicates the outdoor fieldwork learning experience as closely as possible. However, students missed some fundamental and important aspects of outdoor fieldwork, as being outside and the social interactions with peers and staff that are specific to on-location fieldwork. This study recommends the use of virtual fieldwork in addition to residential on-location fieldwork, as for a significant number of students virtual fieldwork may be a better way of accessing this valued pedagogy of the geosciences. Furthermore, virtual fieldwork has the potential to make geosciences more inclusive and attractive to a wider range of students.
