Development of a training system for manual kinetic perimetry using the Goldmann perimeter
Get PDFThe Goldmann perimeter (GP) has been widely used in manual kinetic perimetry because it can measure an overview of the visual field in a relatively short period of time. However, its results can be considerably influenced by the examiner’s skill and is therefore examiner-dependent. The examiner’s skill can only be improved through repeated practice of Goldmann manual kinetic perimetry (Goldmann MKP). Therefore, we have developed a Goldmann MKP training system as sort of patient simulators using the GP, and we have attempted to introduce it into the education for orthoptists. In this system, the computer is connected to a pen tablet mounted on the GP. Goldmann MKP practice software is loaded on the computer. It is possible to record the position of the target moved by the trainee during visual field measurement. The computer beeped when the location of the target reached the threshold of the visual field. With a conventional Goldmann MKP original recording sheet, it was not possible to look back on the maneuvers leading up to the test results. The information recorded in the present system enabled detailed recordings of the track of the target that was moved by the trainee. This information provided an opportunity for the supervisor to review the procedural skills of each trainee and provide specific feedback on performance
An open-source R-R interval analyzer with a graphical user interface for electrophysiological studies
Get PDFHeart rate variability (HRV) is an established measure for evaluating changes in human autonomic nervous functions, including reactions to mental stresses. In particular, the ratio of the low-frequency components (low-frequency (LF), 0.04–0.15 Hz) to the high-frequency components (HF, 0.15–0.40 Hz) in the R-R interval fluctuation (the LF/HF ratio) reflects the sympathetic tonus of the subject. This study introduces an easy-to-use R-R interval analyzer with a graphical user interface (GUI) for electrophysiological studies of HRV. The GUI framework and the analyzer itself are open source and the complete source code is freely accessible via the Internet, allowing their modification or customization by users. This application was tested in subjects under oral enquiries on the national examination which they were preparing for. Besides the low-cutoff frequency was low (0.08 Hz), more than 95% QRS complexes were automatically detected, indicating the usefulness of the application
Using iBooks Author Development of Electronic Teaching Materials for Fundamental Engineering Studies
Get PDFIn order to train practical skills and creativity, the university has adopted a lot of experimental practice in the curriculum. In experimental practice, various measuring instruments and the like are often utilized, and a lot of time was spent explaining the usage method. In addition, the text of the experimental practice was paper medium or PDF, and the format was different for each leader.This report is the result of the campus education reform project aimed at improving comprehension by preparing and distributing electronic teaching materials embedded with various measuring instruments usage methods and experiment methods as animation in advance

Get PDFStudy on cervical cancer prevention among fourth-year female nursing university students
Get PDF本研究は、看護女子大学生4 年生に焦点を当て、1）「子宮頸がん予防ワクチン（HPVワクチン）接種」「子宮頸がん検診受診」の状況を明らかにし、2）「HPVワクチン接種決定者（自分／母親）」「HPVワクチン接種の有無」「子宮頸がん検診受診の有無」で、子宮頸がんに関する基礎知識の平均得点を比較し、検討することを目的とした。71名に質問紙を配布し69名から回答を得た。結果、HPVワクチンの接種率は73.9%、子宮頸がん検診受診率は17.4%であった。HPVワクチン接種年齢は15歳1名（2.0%）、16歳11名（21.6%）、17歳15名（29.4%）、18歳12名（23.5%）、19歳2名（3.9%）、20歳7名（13.7%）、不明3名（5.9％）であり、公的助成の対象でない年齢時や大学に入学してから接種をした学生もいることが明らかとなった。HPVワクチン接種済みの学生51名のうち、ワクチン接種を「母親」が決定した者は27名（52.9%）、「自分」で決定した者は23名（45.1%）、「不明」1名（2.0%）であった。ワクチン接種決定者が「自分」である場合、関連基礎知識の平均得点は3.39点と、「母親」がワクチン接種を決めた場合の平均得点2.48点に比べ、有意に高かった（p<0.05）。「自分」でワクチン接種を決定した場合は、「母親」による決定に比べ、基礎知識の保持状況が良好であったことは、本研究により得られた新たな知見である。子宮頸がんを自らの問題として捉え、必要な知識を所持し、自ら正しい予防行動を取れるよう、青年期からの啓発教育の必要性が確認された。This study aimed to i） investigate the rates of human papilloma virus （HPV） vaccination and cervical cancer screening among fourth-year female nursing university students; ii） compare the level of knowledge about cervical cancer between different groups, such as students who decided by them-selves to receive the HPV vaccine and students who respected their parents’ judgement. The study included 71 participants, among whom 69 participants responded to the distributed anonymous self-administered questionnaires. The results showed that the rates of HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening were 73.9% and 17.4% respectively. The age at vaccination were 15 years old（ 2.0%）, 16 years old（ 2.0%）, 17 years old（ 29.4%）, 18 years old （23.5%）, 19 years old （3.9%）, 20 years old （13.7%） and unknown （5.9%）. This means that some students received the vaccine at an age at which it is not subsidized. Overall, 52.9% of students decided to receive the HPV vaccine by them-selves, while 45.1% of students respected their parents’ judgement. As a new finding, we observed that students who decided by them-selves to receive the vaccine had a significantly higher level of knowledge about cervical cancer （average : 3.39 per 7.00） than students who respected their parents’ judgement（ average : 2.48 per 7.00）（ p<0.05）. We recommend that adolescents receive health education that promotes basic knowledge on cervical cancer and personal responsibility for preventive behavior
