Rational analysis of empirically designed bridge decks using PUNCHED
No full textReinforced concrete bridge deck slabs make up a significant portion of bridges worldwide and are designed to efficiently withstand traffic loads. The empirical design method, specified in the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC), uses the inherent arching action in these slabs to provide strength and durability. The PUNCH program was developed to analyze externally restrained steel-free bridge deck slabs, but it cannot analyze directly deck slabs with embedded reinforcement.
This research focuses on modifying the PUNCH program to enable the analysis of internally reinforced deck slabs by introducing the concept of equivalent diameter for embedded reinforcement. The study investigates how the axial stiffness of steel-concrete composites changes under varying loads and integrates these findings into the modified program, PUNCHED. The enhanced program accounts for equivalent diameters to accurately model reinforced concrete deck slabs under different loading conditions. Validation using experimental data from multiple studies confirms that PUNCHED reliably predicts both load-deflection behavior and ultimate failure loads.
The findings demonstrate that the modified PUNCHED program provides a dependable tool for engineers to evaluate the performance of reinforced concrete deck slabs. By bridging the gap between empirical design and analytical modeling, this research contributes to more precise and effective analysis of bridge deck slabs.The project was funded by Research Manitoba

Women’s glass-ceiling beliefs and their perceived career progression: a tale of two countries
No full textThis study investigated and compared the impact of women glassceiling
beliefs (denial, resilience, acceptance, and resignation) on
their perceived career progression with a moderating role of education
in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. This is a time-lagged study. Multigroup
analysis and permutations in Smart PLS is used for comparative
data analysis. Results show significant differences in the impacts
of glass-ceiling beliefs on women’s career progression in two different
countries. Where education plays an important role in mitigating
the negative effects of glass ceiling beliefs proving the same among
the two samples of different countries. This study provides significant
theoretical and practical implications for policymaking and
organizational practices to give due consideration to women’s glassceiling
beliefs and their career progression through education
Effect of Building Capacity of Health Professional Educators in Artificial Intelligence Through a Series of Workshops; a Follow-Up Study

Despite this progress, many healthcare educators lack the necessary knowledge and confidence to integrate AI effectively. Structured faculty development initiatives may address this gap by enhancing educators’ capacity to incorporate AI. This study investigated participants’ perceptions of a series of AI-focused capacity-building workshops conducted in Pakistan and explored the sustained effect of these workshops on educators’ attitudes, confidence, and application of AI tools in educational settings.Methods: A Prospective observational follow-up study was conducted across five workshops: AI in Research (n = 18), AI in Simulation (n = 6), AI in Gamification (n = 15), AI in Assessment (n = 23), and AI in Prompt Engineering (n = 27). Immediate post-workshop surveys measured perceived significance, satisfaction, and knowledge gains. A follow-up survey three months later evaluated sustained use, behavioral change, and institutional dissemination. The follow-up survey questionnaire included the application of workshop learning, changes in attitude, skills, and confidence, institutional support, reflection, and future directions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative responses were subjected to thematic analysis.Results: Participants reported high satisfaction across all workshops, with over 85% rating the sessions as “Excellent” or “Satisfactory” in terms of achieving learning objectives, knowledge gain, and applicability. Follow-up data (n = 56) demonstrated sustained impact: 85% of participants reported using at least one AI tool in teaching or research, 90% expressed increased openness to AI use, and 77% shared their learning with colleagues. Commonly cited challenges included inadequate infrastructure, institutional resistance, and ethical concerns.Conclusion: AI-focused faculty development workshops significantly enhanced educators’ knowledge, skills, confidence, and motivation to incorporate AI into health professions education. The study uniquely contributes follow-up evidence on early capacity building and educators’ application of AI tools after AI-focused faculty development workshops in health professions education.Keywords: artificial intelligence, faculty development, health professions education, capacity building, technology-enhanced education, medical education, technology, A
Synthesis of Organic–Inorganic Nanohybrids-Based Polymeric Nanocomposites
No full textOrganic–inorganic nanohybrids-based polymer nanocomposites are made up of two different components, and these hybrids attained great attention over last decades due to their diversified framework and fascinating features. These nanohybrids possess synergistic characteristics of both organic and inorganic substances. Different synthetic routes are used to synthesize these materials with enhanced morphology, tunable features, and fine nanostructures. This chapter focuses on various synthetic routes for fabrication of organic–inorganic-based nanopolymeric composites. Synthetic strategies and protocols of different routes have been described in details. We have also discussed the advantages and limitations of all synthetic methods in details.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Aerospace Manufacturing Technologie
