Objectives: We aimed to examine the prevalence of orthostatic dysregulation among newly graduated female nurses after employment and its associations with autonomic nervous function, stress, and depressive symptoms. Methods: This follow-up study included 48 newly graduated female nurses (aged 22 ± 3 years) employed in acute care hospitals. The orthostatic dysregulation symptoms were evaluated using a screening checklist. A sit-to-stand test was conducted to assess the autonomic nervous function. Subjective stress and depressive symptoms were determined using a self-administered questionnaire. The data were collected at baseline on the first month and on the seventh month of employment. Statistical differences within groups were analyzed using paired t-test and McNemar’s test. The independent associations of orthostatic dysregulation status with stress and depressive symptoms were analyzed using a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: The percentage of individuals who were diagnosed with orthostatic dysregulation increased from 25.0% at baseline to 35.4% at follow-up. Logistic regression analyses revealed that stress and depressive symptoms were closely associated with orthostatic dysregulation status at follow-up, despite a weak association reported at baseline. The participants were categorized according to their orthostatic dysregulation status: among individuals without orthostatic dysregulation at baseline but with orthostatic dysregulation at follow-up, the increase in autonomic nervous activity, as assessed by the coefficient of variation of the R-R intervals, in response to the postural changes was significantly attenuated at follow-up. Furthermore, this group exhibited a significant increase in stress and depressive symptoms. Conclusions: At 7 months after employment, newly graduated nurses showed a higher prevalence of orthostatic dysregulation in combination with autonomic nervous system modulation, which was accompanied by an increase in stress and depressive symptoms. These observations suggest that the orthostatic dysregulation is associated with poor mental and physical health among newly graduated nurses in the early phase of employment.

Reasonable siting layout of reserve emergency supplies plays a critical role in rapid response and accurate rescue after disaster. People’s life safety and health, as well as the psychological satisfaction brought by the government’s excellent emergency rescue level, is an important guarantee for maintaining social stability and sustainable development. Based on the coverage model, considering demand graduation, this paper develops a bi-objective optimization model to determine the optimal location plan of graduated supplies by maximizing the rescue satisfaction and minimizing the number of warehouses. A heuristic multi-center clustering location algorithm is designed to solve the model. This model is applied to the prepositioning of emergency supplies in an earthquake affected area in Sichuan province, China to verify the effectiveness of the model and algorithm. Finally, the paper discusses the influence of demand graduation on the location of emergency supplies. The results show that reasonable location planning of different levels of supplies can effectively improve the rescue satisfaction.

This article tries to discribe about paths to optimize the teachers’ role of Islamic education in building students’ character to response moral crises happened recently among students and graduated. These paths must be conducted by goverment, educational institution and teachers as well. The goverment should make a specific political policy to strengthen Islamic education process at school or out of school in regard to curriculum changes, supporting learning sources and providing facilities and up grading teacher capacity and competency. The educational institution must attempt to make Islamic Education as a core of educational development at school by constructing sociocultural conditions based on Islamic Values. And Teachers themselves must be qualified in their position as professional teachers. They must always develope innovative learning models and have full responsibility with their duties. They also must play their role as a conselor to give intensive guidances to their students specially students who have many dificulties both in academic problems and non academic. Finally, teachers must be commited with their ethic codes so that they become a good model for their students.

Abstract Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the opioid epidemic disproportionately affect the Appalachian region. Geographic and financial barriers prevent access to specialty care. Interventions are needed to address the HCV-opioid syndemic in this region. Methods We developed an innovative, collaborative telehealth model in Southwest Virginia featuring bidirectional referrals from and to comprehensive harm reduction (CHR) programs and office-based opioid therapy (OBOT), as well as workforce development through local provider training in HCV management. We aimed to (1) describe the implementation process of provider training and (2) assess the effectiveness of the telehealth model by monitoring patient outcomes in the first year. Results The provider training model moved from a graduated autonomy model with direct specialist supervision to a 1-day workshop with parallel tracks for providers and support staff followed by monthly case conferences. Forty-four providers and support staff attended training. Eight providers have begun treating independently. For the telehealth component, 123 people were referred, with 62% referred from partner OBOT or CHR sites; 103 (84%) attended a visit, 93 (76%) completed the treatment course, and 61 (50%) have achieved sustained virologic response. Rates of sustained virologic response did not differ by receipt of treatment for opioid use disorder. Conclusions Providers demonstrated a preference for an in-person training workshop, though further investigation is needed to determine why only a minority of those trained have begun treating HCV independently. The interdisciplinary nature of this program led to efficient treatment of hepatitis C in a real-world population with a majority of patients referred from OBOTs and CHR programs.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract. The environment of ebb-tidal deltas between barrier island systems is characterized by a complex morphology with ebb- and flood-dominated channels, shoals and swash bars connecting the ebb-tidal delta platform to the adjacent island. These morphological features reveal characteristic surface sediment grain-size distributions and are subject to a continuous adaptation to the prevailing hydrodynamic forces. The mixed-energy tidal inlet Otzumer Balje between the East Frisian barrier islands Langeoog and Spiekeroog in the southern North Sea has been chosen here as an exemplary study area for the identification of relevant hydrodynamic drivers of morphology and sedimentology. We compare the effect of high-energy wave-dominated storm conditions to mid-term tide-dominated fair-weather conditions on tidal inlet morphology and sedimentology with a process-based numerical model. A multi-fractional approach with five graduated grain-size fractions between 150 and 450 microns allows the simulation of corresponding surface sediment grain-size distributions. Net sediment fluxes for distinct conditions are identified: during storm conditions, bed load sediment transport is generally onshore directed on the shallower ebb-tidal delta shoals whereas fine-grained suspended sediment bypasses the tidal inlet by wave-driven currents. During fair-weather the sediment transport mainly focuses on the inlet throat and the marginal flood channels. We show how the observed sediment grain-size distribution and the morphological response at mixed-energy tidal inlets are the result of both, wave-dominant less frequent storm conditions and mid-term tide-dominant fair-weather conditions.

ABSTRACT Background Previous faculty-driven residents-as-teachers (RAT) models have had limited efficacy and sustainability. Objective To evaluate the acceptability and effects of a resident-led RAT program on resident teaching. Methods In October 2016, obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) residents at a large academic institution implemented a resident-led RAT program, consisting of a steering committee of peer-selected residents with 2 faculty mentors who planned education-focused resident didactics and journal clubs, organized resident involvement in clerkship activities, and recognized residents who excelled in teaching as Distinguished Educators (DEs). From July 2016 through June 2019, using the Kirkpatrick Model, we evaluated the program with annual resident surveys assessing self-perception of 13 teaching skills (5-point Likert scale) and value of RAT program, institutional end-of-clerkship student evaluations of resident teaching, and resident participation in DE award. Results Annual resident survey response rates ranged from 63% to 88%. Residents' self-reported teaching skills improved significantly in 11 of 13 domains from 2016 to 2018 (improvements ranging from 0.87–1.42; 5-point Likert scale; P < .05). Of the 2018 respondents, 80% agreed that the resident-led RAT program added value to the residency. For 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 academic years, 47% and 48% of medical students (100% response rate) strongly agreed that residents provided effective teaching compared to 30% in 2016–2017 (P < .05). Ten residents have graduated as DEs during this time period. Conclusions A resident-led RAT program increased residents' self-reported teaching skills, improved medical student perceptions of teaching quality, and was sustainable and acceptable over a 3-year period.

Full textAbstract:
3133 Background: T-DM1 (T), a conjugate of the anti-HER2 therapeutic antibody trastuzumab and the microtubule assembly inhibitor emtansine, was administered in combination with pertuzumab (P), an anti-HER2 therapeutic antibody, to HER2+ breast cancer patients in the I-SPY 2 TRIAL, and graduated in all HER2+ subtypes. Pre-specified biomarker analysis was performed to identify candidate biomarkers associated with pCR within the HER family and cell proliferation pathways in patients treated with T+P. We hypothesized that quantitative measurement and activation of HER2 and activation of its major dimerization partner, EGFR would predict response to T+P. Methods: In the T+P treatment arm, 49 had RPPA and pCR data. 40 RPPA endpoints including 14 total/phospho-proteins in the HER family were assessed for association with pCR using logistic regression (likelihood ratio test; p < 0.05). Analysis was also performed adjusting for HR status and within HR subsets. Markers were analyzed individually; multiple comparison correction (Benjamini-Hochberg) was applied to all p-values. Our statistics are descriptive and do not adjust for multiplicities of other biomarkers outside this study. Results: Of the endpoints tested, only quantitative total HER2 expression, phospho-HER2 (Y1248 and Y877), phospho-EGFR (Y1173 and Y1068), and phospho-SHC Y317 had a positive association with response in the population as a whole, and in a model adjusting for HR status (BH p < 0.05). In HR subset analysis, these 5 analytes had uncorrected p < 0.05 regardless of HR subtype but only survived p-value correction in HR+ tumors. Conclusions: Quantitative measurement of HER2 protein positively associates with response to T+P in patients already identified as HER2+ by central IHC and FISH testing. Activation of HER2 and its dimerization partner, EGFR, also associate with response to T+P in HR+ patients. While our results need to be validated in larger prospective trials, they indicate that new approaches to measure more quantitatively the amount and activation state of HER2 and activated EGFR may more effectively identify patients that respond to HER2 targeted therapies than HER2 IHC and FISH alone.

Object. The authors tested the hypothesis that breach of the blood—spinal cord barrier (BSCB) will produce evidence of oxidative stress and that a similar staining pattern will be seen between 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE)/protein complexes and extravasated immunoglobulin G (IgG). Methods. Adult female Fischer 344 rats, each weighing 200 to 225 g, were subjected to a spinal cord contusion at T-10 by means of a weight-drop device. Spinal cord tissue was assessed for oxidative stress by localizing extravasated plasma contents with a monoclonal antibody for rat IgG and protein conjugation with HNE, which is an aldehyde byproduct of lipid peroxidation. The animals were killed at 1 and 6 hours, and 1, 2, and 7 days after surgery. Maximum HNE/protein staining was observed at 2 days postinjury, and HNE/protein and IgG manifested similar staining patterns. Analysis revealed a graduated but asymmetrical rostral—caudal response relative to the T-10 injury site. Both HNE/protein complex and IgG staining revealed that the caudal levels T-11 and T-12 stained significantly more intensely than the rostral levels T-9 and T-8, respectively. A higher percentage of neurons positive for HNE/protein immunostaining was observed in spinal cord levels caudal to the injury site compared with equidistant rostral regions. Protein dot-blot assays also revealed a similar asymmetrical rostral—caudal HNE/protein content. To analyze the timing of the BSCB breach, another group of animals received identical contusions, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was injected 10 minutes before or at various times after injury (1, 3, and 6 hours, and 1, 2, and 7 days). Maximum HRP permeability was seen immediately after injury, with a significant decrease occurring by 1 hour and a return to control levels by 2 days posttrauma. Conclusions. Data from this study indicate possible compromise of neuronal, axonal, glial, and synaptic function after trauma, which may be a factor in motor deficits seen in animals after spinal cord contusion. The colocalization of the IgG stain with the HNE/protein stain is consistent with the hypothesis of a mutual cause—effect relationship between BSCB and oxidative stress in central nervous system trauma.

AbstractBackground: Postgraduate neurosurgical education is undergoing significant reform, including transition to a competency-based training model. To support these efforts, the purpose of this study was to determine neurosurgical graduates’ and program directors’ (PDs) opinions about graduates’ level of competence in reference to the 2010 Royal College Objectives of Training in Neurosurgery. Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to Canadian neurosurgery PDs and graduates from 2011. The questionnaire addressed graduates’ abilities in nonprocedural knowledge and skills, CanMEDS roles, proficiency with core neurosurgical procedures and knowledge of complex neurosurgical techniques. Results: Thirteen of 22 (59%) graduate and 17/25 (65%) PD surveys were completed. There were no significant differences between PD and graduate responses. Most respondents agreed that these graduates possess the knowledge and skills expected of an independently practicing neurosurgeon across current objectives of training. A small proportion felt some graduates did not achieve this level of proficiency on specific vascular, functional, peripheral nerve and endoscopic procedures. This was partially attributed to limited exposure to these procedures during training and perceptions that some techniques required fellowship-level training. Conclusions: Graduating neurosurgical residents are perceived to possess a high level of proficiency in the majority of neurosurgical practice domains. Inadequate exposure during training or a perception that subspecialists should perform some procedures may contribute to cases where proficiency is not as high. The trends identified in this study could be monitored on an ongoing basis to provide supplemental data to guide curricular decisions in Canadian neurosurgical training.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to enrich public health emergency management (PHEM) curricula and increase the workforce readiness of graduates through the implementation of an innovative curriculum structure centered around simulation and the creation of authentic learning experiences into a mastery-based Disaster Preparedness graduate certificate program launched in 2016 at the Colorado School of Public Health. Learners progress through a sequence of increasingly complex discussion and operations-based exercises designed to align with training methodologies used by future employers in the disaster response field, covering PHEM fundamentals and domestic and international disaster preparedness and response. Preliminary feedback is overwhelmingly positive, equating the experience to securing an internship. Embedding simulation-based exercises and authentic learning environments into graduate curricula exposes learners to diverse disaster scenarios, provides occasion for practicing critical thinking and dynamic problem solving, increases familiarity with anticipated emergency situations, and builds the confidence necessary for exercising judgment in a real-world situation. This novel curriculum should serve as a model for graduate programs wishing to enrich traditional training tactics using a typical school of public health support and alignment with community resources.

BACKGROUND: Both overmedication and undermedication can be potentially life threatening. If the actual volume of a 100-mL intravenous bag used to mix dopamine solutions is greater than the labeled volume, overdilution of medication can occur, resulting in an ineffective hemodynamic response in patients and thus an unintended adverse drug event. OBJECTIVES: To determine the actual fluid volumes of 100-mL intravenous bags, compare the actual volumes of 100-mL bags from the 3 major manufacturers of intravenous bags, and determine if the excess volume is sufficient to cause a clinically significant overdilution of dopamine. METHODS: A comparative descriptive design was used. The volumes of 162 intravenous bags of 100 mL of 5% dextrose in water (32 lot numbers with various expiration dates) were measured. Visual volume was confirmed by using a 250-mL graduated cylinder. Volume by weight was determined with a calibrated laboratory-quality electronic scale. On the basis of a mathematical model, any overfill greater than 110 mL was considered clinically significant. RESULTS: The difference between actual and labeled volumes was statistically and clinically significant. Mean visual volume was 110.20 mL (range, 107-114 mL). Mean weighed volume was 109.26 mL (range, 106.15-112.09 mL). The fluid volumes among bags from the 3 major IV companies differed significantly (P &lt; .001). CONCLUSIONS: The overfill in sufficient numbers of 100-mL intravenous bags was enough to cause clinically significant overdilution of dopamine. When dopamine or other vasoactive medications are mixed, either an in-line buret or premixed bags of the drugs should be used to prevent an unintended adverse drug event.

A university with a relevant curriculum offers authentic practical work experience integrated in the subjects to capacitate the graduates to be job-ready to meet the demands of employers in the industry. In contrast, the graduates are confronted with numerous difficulties in finding a job with their acquired that lacks the required skills from degree curriculum. Based on graduates' self assessment report, this study described the match of the educational qualifications and relevance of the curriculum of the graduates to their current employment. A survey research design was used to gather the self-evaluated responses of 1761 individuals who graduated during 2012 to 2017 from the seven colleges of Mindanao State University-General Santos City (MSU-GSC), Philippines. Questionnaires were distributed for data collection through face-to-face and online data gathering. Results revealed that the supply of graduates’ educational skills are highly matched with the skills demanded by the industry and that the curriculum is responsive to the present employment. This research gives implications on academic and economic policies. The university needs to anchor the curriculum evaluation measures to test the graduates’ employability based on a competence model anchored in real-world work settings. The study highlights to conduct a tracer study across the university with a focus on the job-specific skills of the graduates as per degree specialization and evaluate each specific major course based on the prospectus of the program to align MSU-GSC’s course offerings to the needs of the industry.

In neuroimaging studies of human cognitive abilities, brain activation patterns that include regions that are strongly interactive in response to experimental task demands are of particular interest. Among the existing network analyses, partial least squares (PLS; McIntosh, 1999; McIntosh, Bookstein, Haxby, & Grady, 1996) has been highly successful, particu-larly in identifying group differences in regional functional connectivity, including differences as diverse as those associated with states of aware-ness and normal aging. However, we address the need for a within-group model that identifies patterns of regional functional connectivity that ex-hibit sustained activity across graduated changes in task parameters. For example, predictions of sustained connectivity are commonplace in stud-ies of cognition that involve a series of tasks over which task difficulty increases (Baddeley, 2003). We designed ordinal trend analysis (OrT) to identify activation patterns that increase monotonically in their expres-sion as the experimental task parameter increases, while the correlative relationships between brain regions remain constant. Of specific interest are patterns that express positive ordinal trends on a subject-by-subject basis. A unique feature of OrT is that it recovers information about func-tional connectivity based solely on experimental design variables. In par-ticular, there is no requirement by OrT to provide either a quantitative model of the uncertain relationship between functional brain circuitry and subject variables (e.g., task performance and IQ) or partial informa-tion about the regions that are functionally connected. In this letter, we provide a step-by-step recipe of the computations performed in the new OrT analysis, including a description of the inferential statistical meth-ods applied. Second, we describe applications of OrT to an event-related fMRI study of verbal working memory and H2 15 O-PET study of visuo-motor learning. In sum, OrT has potential applications to not only studies of young adults and their cognitive abilities, but also studies of normal aging and neurological and psychiatric disease.

South African higher education (HE) cannot be compared to any other country’s HE systems due to the unique political landscape and structural narrative that it has undergone. Subsequent to the reorganisation of HEIs in 2004, a number of complexities arose. These included accessibility to education across race and the alignment of the South African HEIs to global pedagogic benchmarks. With the changing political landscape, transformations within higher education, socio economic inequities and changes in the workplace, researchers failed to cognize the impact of these factors on graduate employability. Changing graduate attributes to align with a decolonised curriculum and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) workspaces were transiently underway when COVID-19 set a new narrative for the future of employability. This paper seeks to identify the impact of workplace changes and its direct influence on successful graduate employment and integration into the HE curriculum. The work environment has cursorily moved from 4IR to an advanced stage of the 4IR, where there is a full emphasis on digitisation, non-localised workspaces and is an ostensible playground for digital natives (Generation Z). This paper provides a systematic review of literature in the South African HE contexts that pertains to graduate attributes for employability within the workplace. The adoption of malleable secondary data will allow for an understanding of the relationship between changing workplace environments and expectations from graduates. This correlation is directly linked to graduate attributes which students need to comply with from year one. The paper will provide context to changes which are required for the future success of graduates, and whether graduate attributes are adequate preparation for employability. A clinical model is recommended with an intervention to manage the risk factors of decolonisation of curriculum, the 4IR and multi-generational workplace and responses to COVID-19.

The aim of this study is to determine postgraduate students’ general satisfaction with the quality of academic services. For this purpose, a written-questionnaire was conducted to 400 graduate students at Atatürk University, Turkey. The dependent variable of the study was the satisfaction level of graduate students which has a natural order. Hence, four different ordered logit models were performed to determine factors that may influence satisfaction levels of graduate students with the quality of academic services. Along with standard ordered logit model, other alternative ordered response models were also performed including generalized ordered logit model, partial constrained generalized ordered logit model, and heterogeneous choice model. Results reveal that a variety of factors are associated with quality of higher education services including age group, tuition fee, undergraduate education, monthly individual income, monthly household income, type of graduate school, current status of postgraduate education, advisor’s academic degree, and time elapsed for postgraduate education. The outcome of this study may give a valuable information for decision-makers of higher education institutions and may provide a benchmarking option in terms of past, present and future higher education policies.

UK universities are having to come to terms with the double whammy of a 2010 Spending Review that will see budgets reduced from £7.1 billion to £4.2 billion by 2014, and the Browne Review of higher education funding and student finance, which argues that those who benefit (i.e. students) should make a far greater contribution to the cost than is currently required. Against this backdrop the authors seek to contribute to the graduate skills debate. They will demonstrate that delivering employment-ready graduates ignores the demands of a radically altered world of work in the face of the government's response to the latest economic crisis. While its primary focus is on the supply side (graduates) the authors are cognisant of the market research industry, which itself is facing external pressures to shift from a milieu of data gathering to a future of intelligent insight providers. We then go on to present the development of a new type of university, which has actively sought to reduce its dependency on traditional funding sources. Finally, we present a model of a research facility at one university that has successfully engaged with the local and regional business community to the benefit of its student workforce. In doing so, it has helped to develop over 70 graduate researchers, with entrepreneurial mindsets, who have all gone on to secure enterprising futures.

The article describes the role of the dual education system as a guarantee of social partnership in improving the quality of professional training of graduates of higher educational institutions. The dual education systems of the world (Germany, France, Denmark, Japan, South Korea) for professional training of university graduates in accordance with modern requirements of employers, who acquire the features of national models of functioning, and that there is no single reference model of dual education. The scheme of dual education is proposed as an innovative type of organization of targeted professional training of students in the Nikopol region, in Ukraine, which is a coordinated cooperation of universities and employers in the training of competitive professionals. Social partnership is seen as a social dialogue carried out in the form of cooperation, which facilitates the transition of professional training of competitive university graduates to a qualitatively new level of training. The introduction of a dual form of education to ensure a rapid response to changes in the labor market, and this is possible only by creating a system of social partnership, improving the training of graduates to organize social partnership, while maintaining the best traditions of higher education. Approbation of dual education as a guarantee of social partnership in the professional training of graduates was carried out on the basis of the National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine (Nikopol Faculty and Nikopol Vocational College). The study covered from 2016 to 2020 about 1,600 students. Based on the results of the analysis of foreign experience of dual education as a guarantee of social partnership of higher education institutions with employers, it can be argued about various forms of interaction (development of educational institution strategy with enterprises, implementation of graduate career tracking system, etc.). -production process. Social partnership is considered as a social dialogue carried out in the form of cooperation, which will facilitate the transition of professional training of educational institutions to a qualitatively new level of training of competitive graduates. The implementation of the dual system contributes to the development of an effective system of social partnership of universities with basic enterprises. The dual system as a guarantee of social partnership in the professional training of graduates of higher educational institutions is socially significant for the functioning, support and development of Ukraine, requires a clear appropriate state policy.

The study was designed to calculate the waiting time for employment for graduates in KP with respect to their level of education and specialization in the field. Contribution of demographic, socioeconomic status, language proficiency, job preferences, job search methods and nepotisms was also measured regarding thewaiting time for employment. Responses of 791 respondents collected through multi-stage non-probability sampling were analyzed with the help of the wellknown Kaplan Meier and Cox regression models and Cox proportional hazard models. The study concluded that a graduate waited for 15 months to be employed during the period 2003-2014. Age, language proficiency, level of education, specialization, language proficiency, nepotism and socio economic factors have significant influence on waiting time for employment. The study recommends the development of integrated frame work for information about trends of unemployment, career counseling and elimination of unemployment at national level.

AbstractThe present paper has identified two career models, the Protean Career and the Boundaryless Career, that can be considered to accommodate higher education graduates’ personal and professional needs, as well as the flexibility and adaptability requirements of the current labor market. The research used the data from a tracer study applied online to the graduates of the West University of Timisoara, with a response rate of 25% (which falls within the response rate for similar studies at the European level).There has been an increased dynamic of the number of jobs compared to the short period since they have been active on the labor market, especially among male graduates. At the level of individual factors that can influence career success, the importance given to both objective and subjective values is observed. The results have shown that for graduates, income, job security, the possibility of promotion, the use of knowledge, but especially leisure time, are equal priorities, with consistent values in time for both stages of the study. Moreover, there has been a significant negative association between the variables of leisure time and job satisfaction (r (522) = -.17, p <.001). Given the mode of action, the high dynamics of jobs, which reflect the much-needed flexibility in the dynamic context of the labor market, and the values that have guided job search, often working and studying at the same time, the pattern of employment career that most accurately describes the career profile of graduates seems to be that of the Protean career (the path with a heart), also called the career of the 21st century.

English used by native English speakers was being followed as a standard token of usage for non-native English speakers for a longer time. However, with the spread of knowledge and technology, the English language across the world has provoked a much-heated debate about these norms whether they should be followed by the non-native English speaker or not. The present paper explores the response of Pakistani undergraduate university students about the effectiveness of the non-native English model of communication by using Kachru’s monocentric model which refutes the standard model of English language to focus more on conventional norms together with native politico-cultural needs. For this purpose, this study used a close-ended questionnaire that asked the non-native English speakers responses to the audio of three different English speeches Different varieties of spoken English existing across the Pakistani society point towards the strong influence of culture over language. This research concludes that the English language has now got the status of pluricentricity based on micro-level variation, so it is impossible to rely on a single communication model for language users considering their diversity.

The purpose of this article is twofold. The first is to provide evaluative information on the recovery of model parameters and their standard errors for the two-parameter item response theory (IRT) model using different estimation methods by Mplus. The second is to provide easily accessible information for practitioners, instructors, and students about the relationships between IRT and item factor analysis (FA) parameterizations. Specifically, this is done using the “Theta” and “Delta” parameterizations in Mplus for unidimensional and multidimensional modeling with dichotomous and polytomous responses with and without the scaling constant D. The first objective aims at investigating differences that may occur when using different estimation methods in Mplus for binary response modeling. The second objective was motivated by practical interest observed among graduate students and applied researchers. The relations between IRT and Mplus FA “Theta” and “Delta” parameterizations are described using expressions without the use of matrices, which can be understood efficiently by applied researchers and students.

For universities seeking to improve the employability of graduates and professional bodies seeking to support professional members on a successful lifelong career, the research presented in this paper reconfirmed the need to reappraise the capabilities that would enhance professional practice and lead to sustained careers. This report presents the findings from a validation process across Australia and New Zealand that includes 2,074 responses to a survey conducted by Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand. The report confirms 24 capabilities, including six considered essential requirements for every professional seeking to work in accounting, finance, and related work roles. The findings provide evidence that these capabilities, in contrast to recent reports suggesting employment opportunities for accounting graduates are in decline, can create opportunities for sustainable careers. The validation project and survey results provide unexpected insight into the capabilities of different age groups and professionals at different career stages that are considered important. The paper outlines how this research will not only inform continuing professional education for members but also help refine the design of post-graduate curriculum and continuing professional development.

The article is devoted to the study of foreign theory and experience in designing a system of training highly qualified personnel using information and communication technologies and comparing them with domestic specifics in this area. In response to the need for training highly qualified personnel capable of solving research and pedagogical tasks in key areas for the development of the state, the purpose of this comparative study was to identify relevant and verified parameters for designing a conceptual model of the system for training scientific and pedagogical personnel in graduate school using ICT tools. The research is based on the analysis of domestic and foreign scientific and pedagogical literature devoted to the problems of training graduate students using ICT tools. To obtain empirical data, we applied the method of integrated observation in the design, administration and development of the postgraduate educational program; questionnaire surveys of graduate students, research supervisors and members of the state examination commission and in-depth interviewing of experts in the field of training highly qualified personnel with subsequent content analysis of the data obtained. As a result, we analyzed and systematized, taking into account the specifics of the use of information and communication technologies, such aspects of training highly qualified personnel as: theoretical, methodological and methodological provisions, personal, professional and regulatory requirements for graduate students and scientific supervisors, implementation and administration of the educational process in graduate school, including against the background of conditions of remote interaction, features of intermediate and final assessment of the formation of competencies of graduate students. The study opens up significant prospects for the practical application of the results obtained in the educational process.

Full textAbstract:
Rural school districts report high rates of job openings for speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Telepractice is a viable service delivery model for addressing personnel shortages in rural schools. Yet, SLPs are graduating with minimal training in this technology-driven service delivery model. In response to the lack of personnel preparation, Linking Kids to the Speech-Language Pathologists (LinKS) program was developed. LinKS trains eight graduate students a year to use telepractice within the context of the school setting. Participating graduate students complete two didactic courses, two telepractice experiences, and one externship in a rural school setting in addition to the requirements of an accredited master's program in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD). In Year 1 of LinKS, program completers collectively accrued 180 hours of experience using telepractice including delivery of speech-language services to children presenting with a variety of communication disorders located in the home and school environment. A digital library housing therapy plans and materials is described. Recommendations for CSD programs seeking to develop a similar model are provided.

Environmental marketplace advocacy represents a form of corporate issue advocacy and a significant source of environmental communication for the U.S. public. This study tested a model of environmental marketplace advocacy, conceptually grounded in the persuasion knowledge model, with a national U.S. audience. The model predicted 78% of variance in attitudes toward the advertiser and its environmental impact. Contrary to expectations, participants’ environmental concern was positively associated with persuasion; this effect was reversed among those with a graduate degree, a background in science, or membership in an environmental organization. Important implications for both corporate and environmental advocacy are discussed.

We provide statistical measures and additional analyses showing that our original analyses were sound. We use a generalized linear mixed model to account for program-to-program differences with program as a random effect without stratifying with tier and found the GRE-P (Graduate Record Examination physics test) effect is not different from our previous findings, thereby alleviating concern of collider bias. Variance inflation factors for each variable were low, showing that multicollinearity was not a concern. We show that range restriction is not an issue for GRE-P or GRE-V (GRE verbal), and only a minor issue for GRE-Q (GRE quantitative). Last, we use statistical measures of model quality to show that our published models are better than or equivalent to several alternates.

Team teaching has long been thought to have positive benefits for learners and teachers in a variety of educational settings. Using an action research model the authors describe the outcomes of team teaching an online graduate level disaster research and statistics course. Separated geographically, two online instructors taught at a distance over the course of five semesters using an interactive team teaching model that allowed for greater interaction and instructor presence. Data was reviewed from instructor reflective logs and student responses to the team teaching model. Results of the study indicate that there was a positive benefit in developing synergy in content and pedagogies, continued instructor learning and continuous reflection on instructional design. Students also reported greater instructor presence and a greater understanding of the research and statistical process through immediacy of feedback and the added access and clarity that resulted from the team teaching process. The use of an interactive team teaching model provides greater clarity and interaction with students and should be considered as an online pedagogical opportunity.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the fit of a number of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis models to the 2010 Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination Part I (MCCQE1) clinical decision-making (CDM) cases. The outcomes of this study have important implications for a range of domains, including scoring and test development. Methods: The examinees included all first-time Canadian medical graduates and international medical graduates who took the MCCQE1 in spring or fall 2010. The fit of one- to five-factor exploratory models was assessed for the item response matrix of the 2010 CDM cases. Five confirmatory factor analytic models were also examined with the same CDM response matrix. The structural equation modeling software program Mplus was used for all analyses. Results: Out of the five exploratory factor analytic models that were evaluated, a three-factor model provided the best fit. Factor 1 loaded on three medicine cases, two obstetrics and gynecology cases, and two orthopedic surgery cases. Factor 2 corresponded to pediatrics, and the third factor loaded on psychiatry cases. Among the five confirmatory factor analysis models examined in this study, three- and four-factor lifespan period models and the five-factor discipline models provided the best fit. Conclusion: The results suggest that knowledge of broad disciplinary domains best account for performance on CDM cases. In test development, particular effort should be placed on developing CDM cases according to broad discipline and patient age domains; CDM testlets should be assembled largely using the criteria of discipline and age.

Full textAbstract:
Logistic regression is a predictive modeling technique that finds an association between the independent variables and the logarithm of the odds of a categorical response variable. This is one of the techniques used in analyzing a categorical dependent variable. The study focused on the application of logistic regression in predicting student graduation by generating data models that could early predict and identify students who are prone to not having graduation on time, so proper remediation and retention policies can be formulated and implemented by institutions. The student graduation rate is the percentage of a school’s first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program successfully. Most students’ first-year freshmen enrolled at the tertiary level failed to graduate. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, almost half of the first time freshmen full-time students who began seeking a bachelor’s degree do not graduate. The colleges and universities consisting of high leaver rates go through a loss of fees and potential alumni contributors.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to better understand the nature of graduate training experiences in research groups and to identify factors that may lead to increased student retention and success. Design/methodology/approach Surveys administered at four US universities resulted in quantitative responses from 130 Master’s and 702 doctoral engineering students participating in graduate research groups. Missing data were imputed, and responses were weighted by gender, discipline, degree program and nationality. Exploratory factor analysis identified four factors describing research group experiences. Regression models were built for two outcomes: satisfaction with research group experience and intention to complete degree. Control variables included gender, discipline, degree program, nationality, year in program and institution. Findings Fifty-five per cent of the variance in satisfaction was described by a model including agency, support, international diversity and group climate. Sixty-five per cent of variance in intent to complete was described by a model comprising international diversity, agency and support. Several control variables were significant. Originality/value Agency and support in particular were the most influential predictors of both satisfaction and intention, suggesting that future efforts should emphasize stable funding, clear expectations, access to mentors and agency-building experiences to help students take an active role in their own success.

Tests of the job characteristics model using the Job Diagnostic Survey have been criticized in the literature for having single-source response bias. To test this criticism, undergraduate and graduate students used the Job Diagnostic Survey to describe their job as “student” (the pretest). The same students then worked at and described a contrived job using the survey. Results from the current study suggested that personality and instrument characteristics had relatively minimal effects on interscale correlations of the scores in the survey within and across situations. However, response biases attributable to priming, consistency, and implicit theories artificially inflated interscale correlations.

Full textAbstract:
Evaluation of psychological stress or state of mind remains an important problem. The anterior asymmetry and emotion model (AAE model) is a conventional and widely used method to sort baseline affective styles (approach or withdrawal) based on asymmetry of the activity in prefrontal cortices. Another method is to use alpha wave fluctuations at the frontal poles, as proposed by Yoshida. This method estimates state of mind as one point on a comfort level surface with pleasant-unpleasant and excited-calm axes that are normal to each other. The aim of this paper is to investigate the validity of the Yoshida method through the psychological responses to sound stimuli. Twenty-two healthy graduate students listened to two kinds of sound clips (scary and soothing) to induce negative and positive emotional states. The results showed that there are significant differences between the responses to scary and soothing sound stimuli in both unpleasant and excited mood states. Compared with baseline, increases in unpleasant and excited mood states were found in response to scary stimuli. However, no significant changes from the baseline state were observed in response to the soothing sound stimulus. These results suggest that the fluctuation of alpha waves recorded at both frontal poles is a valid index for the evaluation of psychological state of mind, especially for negative stimulation. Future study plans include investigating a possible relationship between the AAE model and the Yoshida method.

Full textAbstract:
Before COVID-19, post-secondary learning was dominated by in-person, institution-organized meetings. With the 12 March 2020 lockdown, learning became virtual, largely dependent on commercial online platforms. Already more likely to experience anxiety and depression in relation to their research work, perhaps no students have endured more regarding the limitations imposed by COVID-19 than graduate students concerning their mentorship and supervision. The increase in mental health issues facing graduate students has been recognized by post-secondary institutions. Programs have been devised to reduce these challenges. However, the additional attention and funds to combat depression and anxiety have not shown anticipated results. A new approach to mitigate anxiety and depression in graduate students through mentorship and supervision is warranted. Offered here is an award-winning model featuring self-directed learning in a community formed by adding together different, equal, diverse points of view rather than agreement. The approach, delivered through a commercial online platform, is non-hierarchical, and based in narrative research. The proposed model and approach are presented, discussed and limitations considered. They are offered as a promising solution to ebb the increase in anxiety and depression in graduate students—particularly in response to COVID-19.

ABSTRACT Background Mentorship models rarely seek generalizability across training programs at the graduate medical education (GME) level. Objective We examined the sustainability and effectiveness of an intervention to increase the number and usefulness of trainee mentorship. Methods A 0.20 full-time equivalent GME faculty adviser position (MD, MEd) implemented mentorship programs in residencies and fellowships. In group 1, 6 GME programs implemented the mentorship strategies prior to 2014, which were used to measure whether the number of mentor relationships were longitudinally sustained. In group 2, 10 different GME programs implemented the mentorship strategies in 2016, which were used to measure whether the intervention immediately increased the number of mentor relationships. To measure mentorship usefulness, trainees rated mentors' ability to promote clinical skills and personal and professional development. The remaining programs were the comparison. Responses from the 2014 and 2016 annual institutional trainee survey were analyzed. Results The incidence of group 1 reporting mentor relationships in 2014 compared to the incidence of group 1 in 2016 were 89% (41 of 46) and 95% (42 of 44), respectively, suggesting that the intervention was sustained for 2 years (P = .26). Group 2 showed a higher proportion of trainees reporting mentors in 2016 (88%, 149 of 170) compared to preintervention (66%, 71 of 108; P = .00001). Groups 1 and 2 reported significant increases in mentorship usefulness. Conclusions A GME initiative to enhance mentoring across specialties in 16 GME training programs was self-sustaining and effective.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a traditional lecture-based curriculum versus a modified “flipped classroom” curriculum of cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal physiology delivered to first-year graduate students. Students in both courses were provided the same notes and recorded lectures. Students in the modified flipped classroom were required to watch the prerecorded lectures before class and then attend class, where they received a quiz or homework covering material in each lecture (valued at 25% of the final grade) followed by a question and answer/problem-solving period. In the traditional curriculum, attending lectures was optional and there were no quizzes. Evaluation of effectiveness and student performance was achieved by having students in both courses take the same multiple-choice exams. Within a comparable group of graduate students, participants in the flipped course scored significantly higher ( P ≤ 0.05) on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and weighted cumulative sections by an average of >12 percentage points. Exam averages for students in the flipped course also tended to be higher on the renal section by ∼11 percentage points ( P = 0.06). Based on our experience and responses obtained in blinded student surveys, we propose that the use of homework and in-class quizzes were critical motivating factors that likely contributed to the increase in student exam performance. Taken together, our findings support that the flipped classroom model is a highly effective means in which to disseminate key physiological concepts to graduate students.

"Use of graded responsibility and common entrustment considerations among United States emergency medicine residency programs." Journal of Educational Evaluation for Health Professions 17 (April 20, 2020): 11. http://dx.doi.org/10.3352/jeehp.2020.17.11.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires all residency programs to provide increasing autonomy as residents progress through training, known as graded responsibility. However, there is little guidance on how to implement graded responsibility in practice and a paucity of literature on how it is currently implemented in emergency medicine (EM). We sought to determine how EM residency programs apply graded responsibility across a variety of activities and to identify which considerations are important in affording additional responsibilities to trainees.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of EM residency programs using a 23-question survey that was distributed by email to 162 ACGME-accredited EM program directors. Seven different domains of practice were queried.Results: We received 91 responses (56.2% response rate) to the survey. Among all domains of practice except for managing critically ill medical patients, the use of graded responsibility exceeded 50% of surveyed programs. When graded responsibility was applied, post-graduate year (PGY) level was ranked an “extremely important” or “very important” consideration between 80.9% and 100.0% of the time.Conclusion: The majority of EM residency programs are implementing graded responsibility within most domains of practice. When decisions are made surrounding graded responsibility, programs still rely heavily on the time-based model of PGY level to determine advancement.

Full textAbstract:
A computer model is described that simulates the cardiac cycle of a mammalian heart. The model emphasizes the pressure-volume plot as a teaching tool to explain the behavior of the heart as a pump. It exhibits realistic responses to changes in preload, afterload, contractility, and heart rate while displaying time-dependent changes in pressure and volume in addition to the pressure versus volume plot. It differs from previous models by graphing these parameters on a beat-to-beat basis, allowing visualization of the dynamic adaptation of the pumping heart to various stimuli. A system diagram is also included to further promote student understanding of the physiology of cardiac function. The model is useful for teaching this topic to medical, graduate, or undergraduate students. It may also be used as a self-directed computer laboratory exercise.

Full textAbstract:
Through the use of qualitative inquiry, this study seeks to discuss the findings of the impact of a knowledge of media and information literacy (MIL) on the personal and ethical decisions of a select group of college graduates in Jamaica. The study is undergirded by Alagaran’s Explore, Engage, and Empower Model of MIL and sought to investigate the media and information literacy knowledge level that exists among college graduates, to determine how knowledge of MIL affects their ethical decisions and the impact it has on their daily life choices. Findings indicate that participants were generally familiar with the composite term “media and information literacy”. Their responses reflect adherence to MIL principles geared towards making ethical choices in their use of information and indicate that a knowledge of media and information literacy is important in the personal decision making of college graduates in Jamaica.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractRecognizing materials development was advancing slower than technological needs, the 2011 the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) advocated interdisciplinary approaches employing an informatics framework in materials discovery and development. In response, an interdisciplinary graduate program, funded by the National Science Foundation, was designed at the intersection of materials science, materials informatics, and engineering design, aiming to equip the next generation of scientists and engineers with Material Data Science. Based on the 4- year implementation experience, this report demonstrates how intellectual communities bridge students interdisciplinary learning processes and support a transition from disciplinary grounding to interdisciplinary learning and research. We hope this training model can benefit other interdisciplinary graduate programs, and produce a more productive and interdisciplinary materials workforce.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this article was to describe a cross-sectional research study exploring the perceived knowledge, skills, and attitudes of telepractice service delivery use among speech-language pathology graduate students during the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Method Students' perceived knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward telepractice were examined through an online questionnaire that contained 23 questions, including five demographic questions and 18 Likert scale questions. Participants were 189 graduate students (96% female, 60% first-year graduate students) currently enrolled in speech-language pathology graduate programs. Statistical analyses on students' responses, including independent-samples t tests and correlations, were conducted. Results Only 20% of respondents stated they had provided services via telepractice. Most participants reported slightly more confidence in their perceived skills related to telepractice as compared to their perceived knowledge of telepractice. Students who had prior experience with telepractice were more likely to provide higher ratings compared to those with no experience. Higher ratings of perceived telepractice knowledge and skills were observed for second-year and third-year graduate students compared to first-year students. Positive correlations were observed between students' higher confidence in perceived knowledge and skills related to telepractice and their attitudes toward the service delivery model. Despite positive responses related to perceived telepractice knowledge and skills, the majority of participants reported preferring in-person services over telepractice. Conclusions Taken together, results of this study demonstrate there is an ongoing need for additional telepractice training programs in speech-language pathology focusing on areas in which students feel least comfortable. Telepractice clinical implications and graduate program training recommendations are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Objective – To determine the frequency of graduate students’ Google Scholar usage, and the contributing factors to their adoption. The researchers also aimed to examine whether the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is applicable to graduate students’ acceptance of Google Scholar.
 
 Design – Web-based survey questionnaire. 
 
 Setting – The survey was conducted over the internet through email invitations. 
 
 Subjects – 1,114 graduate students enrolled at the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota.
 
 Methods – 9,998 graduate students were invited via email to participate in a study about their perceptions of Google Scholar in the fall of 2009. A follow-up email and a raffle of two $25 gift certificates were used to provide participation incentive. 
 
 The survey measurements, which consisted of 53 items in 15 questions, were based on modifications to the validated TAM using measurements adopted by other studies using the same instrument. Each item was scored using five-point scales ranging from 1 (“strongly disagree”) to 5 (“strongly agree”). Because the TAM model is based on direct user experience, only responses from those who have used Google Scholar in the past were included in the data analysis. 
 
 Main Results – The survey had a response rate of 11.4%, with 73% of the respondents reporting having used Google Scholar at least once before. However, only 45% of those who had used Google Scholar reported linking to full text articles through the customized library link “frequently or always.” On average, respondents found Google Scholar easy to use (M=4.09 out of 5) and access (M=3.86). They also perceived Google Scholar as a useful resource for their research (M=3.98), which enhanced their searching effectiveness (M=3.89). However, respondents were less enthusiastic when asked whether they often found what they were looking for using Google Scholar (M=3.33) or whether it had enough resources for their research (M=3.14). Nonetheless, most still felt they made the correct decision to use Google Scholar (M=3.94), even if their loyalty towards Google Scholar was limited (M=3.23). 
 
 The researcher categorized survey measurements into 9 TAM-based variables and performed regression analysis (all with p
