Over the last quarter century, extensive research concerning work-related musculoskeletal discomfort has been conducted in the area of desktop computer (DPC) use, among professionals and clerical workers. Notebook style computers (NPC) are increasing in popularity and use, often replacing DPCs, yet limited information is available on workers' experience with NPCs. Results are presented from a survey that explored work-related use of desktop and notebook computers by professionals (n=335).

The program incorporates those competencies in behavior disorders and in rural education that have been field tested and identified as important for BD teachers in the state. Use of portable computers for collecting, recording, and analyzing student data, provide the participants with hands-on experience in computer applications and in methods for evaluating the effectiveness of behavioral and instructional programs in the classroo

Abstract:
A computer laboratory has been designed to teach the osmotic properties of cells. One program, CELL.BA, is for the teacher to enter values for the volume of cell water and osmotically inactive material, the concentration of impermeant solute in the cell, and the permeability of the plasma membrane to water and a nonelectrolyte. When the program is protected, students use it as a cell with unknown osmotic properties. They run experiments on the computer with different concentrations of impermeant or permeant solutes or combinations of the two. Changes in cell volume or solute concentration are

Abstract:
A new “on-line” physical laboratory for students is presented. Two standards of interfaces are used for communication: CAMAC and GPIB. Programs use pull-down menus fully described in Polish language (the display works in graphics mode). It resembles the “decision tree” technique. The program leads the user by the hand offering him a set of options to choose. Every time a brief help is available on the screen. The assistance can give students more freedom because a computer program watches every mistake that could destroy the device.

Abstract:
The use of the Internet as a health education tool and as a resource in health education planning is widely accepted as the norm in industrialized countries. Unfortunately, access to computers and the Internet is quite limited in developing countries. Not all licensed service providers operate, many users are actually foreign nationals, telephone connections are unreliable, and electricity supplies are intermittent. In this context, computer, e-mail, Internet, and CD-Rom use by health and health education program officers in five states in southwestern Nigeria were assessed to document their p

Introduction: the global IT market is steadily growing. International law and national legal systems protect computer programs as copyright objects. Copyright protection in relation to these objects is associated with proving the fact of their use. Judicial practice reveals a number of problems related to the establishment of efficient, balanced, and at the same time fair rules and standards of proving the fact of using a computer program. Purpose: to determine the rules and standards of proving the use of a computer program as a copyright object. Methods: the method of formal logic, comparati

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE As the first step toward finding noninvasive alternatives to the traditional methods of surgical training, we have developed a small, stand-alone computer program that simulates insertion of pedicle screws in different spinal vertebrae (T10–L5). METHODS We used Delphi 5.0 and DirectX 7.0 extension for Microsoft Windows. This is a stand-alone and portable program. RESULTS The program can run on most personal computers. It provides the trainee with visual feedback during practice of the technique. At present, it uses predefined three-dimensional images of the vertebrae, but we

Abstract:
This study examined the effects of learning group gender composition and the use of nonverbal communication by a computer on performance and motivation following a computer-assisted biology lesson. The results showed that before the lesson began, group gender composition influenced self-reports of experience and knowledge about computers and also how subjects arranged their computer desktop. During the lesson, when a computer image of a human face was present on the screen, girls who reported low anxiety performed better and were more motivated to use the program relative to girls who reported

Two interactive computer programs are described which illustrate different approaches to teaching the pharmacology of neuromuscular transmission. Both programs are based on a simulation of the in vivo sciatic nerve–tibialis anterior muscle preparation of the cat. Program 1 simulates the preparation and allows students to follow a schedule set by the teacher, or design experiments themselves using drugs (including unknowns) and procedures selected from an extensive menu. The sequence of events and the doses used are entirely in the hands of the user and students “learn by discovery”. Program 2

Abstract:
Computer software for rendering and display of three-dimensional data is becoming readily available for all types of computers. Such programs typically accept data from any source, compute a three-dimensional volume of data, and display it with a variety of rendering options. Although not specifically designed for medical image processing, these programs can provide very detailed and finely rendered images that are useful for surgical planning. We use one such program to display data from standard computed tomography scans, which gives us a photorealistic three-dimensional view of patient anat
