Bodybuilding: An anatomical model project in paramedic education
No full textBatt, AM ORCiD: 0000-0001-6473-5397Anatomy is not sufficiently taught through books or handouts alone. The best method to teach anatomy continues to be widely debated. Previous research conducted mainly with medical students supports a model building exercise to improve anatomy knowledge retention. This research study investigated students’ perceptions on using model construction
as a means to learn anatomical structures
Welcome to the Irish Journal of Paramedicine
No full textBatt, AM ORCiD: 0000-0001-6473-5397Welcome to the first issue of the Irish Journal of Paramedicine (IJP). It gives me great pleasure to launch this journal, a first for Irish paramedics, and pre-hospital care in Ireland. I am also honoured to announce that the IJP has been adopted as the official journal of the Irish College of Paramedics, the professional body for prehospital emergency care practitioners in Ireland
Alan Moore Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel
No full textEclectic British author Alan Moore (b. 1953) is one of the most acclaimed and controversial comics writers to emerge since the late 1970s. He has produced a large number of well-regarded comic books and graphic novels while also making occasional forays into music, poetry, performance, and prose. In Alan Moore: Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel , Annalisa Di Liddo argues that Moore employs the comics form to dissect the literary canon, the tradition of comics, contemporary society, and our understanding of history. The book considers Moore's narrative strategies and pinpoints the main thematic threads in his works: the subversion of genre and pulp fiction, the interrogation of superhero tropes, the manipulation of space and time, the uses of magic and mythology, the instability of gender and ethnic identity, and the accumulation of imagery to create satire that comments on politics and art history. Examining Moore's use of comics to scrutinize contemporary culture, Di Liddo analyzes his best-known works-- Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, From Hell, Promethea , and Lost Girls . The study also highlights Moore?s lesser-known output, such as Halo Jones, Skizz , and Big Numbers , and his prose novel Voice of the Fire. Alan Moore: Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel reveals Moore to be one of the most significant and distinctly postmodern comics creators of the last quarter-century.Intro -- Contents -- Preface and Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- CHAPTER 1.

A model driven IDE for M-industries’ Alan
No full textWhile software is becoming increasingly important in our world, software development is also advancing with an increasing pace. One of the reasons is the increase in available information, which triggered the birth of a new programming paradigm: Model Driven Development (henceforth MDD). Though this can shorten the development time and make it easier, there is no real support for this method, and also no fully developed environment. This is where M-industries' Alan is key. A new MDD platform, but with no editor support. That was the initial scope of our project: create an editor capable of supporting Alan. This was no easy task, and so some preliminary research was done, which evaluates existing web-based editors based on the requirements set by us. The main development phase consisted of agile programming cycles where the targets and tasks were subject to changes. This enabled us to focus on creating an intrinsically correct system instead of a fully featured one that needs a lot of patching and cleaning. The result was a well rounded, integrated IDE that has powerful Alan specific features, but may lack some more basic editor features. The IDE was not only developed to aid in model driven development, but was actually developed itself in a model driven way, using M-industries' platform. This allowed for a deep integration with Alan, where the language definition became part of the IDE. To do this, the concept of an "editor state" was introduced, which proved to be an essential an powerful concept for creating an editor for model driven development.Software TechnologyElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Facilitating paramedic continuous professional competency: The #IrishEMS chat
No full textBatt, AM ORCiD: 0000-0001-6473-5397Social Media is growing in popularity, quickly becoming the go to medium for keeping up to date, collaborating, networking & sharing knowledge. In
November 2015 the authors registered a hashtag, #IrishEMS, with the express aim of hosting a one hour chat each Monday night. While it is open to all and its success relies upon international and multidisciplinary contributors, the hashtag was chosen to give it a focus based in Irish prehospital guidelines and Irish EMS practice
Zika virus: What paramedics need to know
No full textBatt, AM ORCiD: 0000-0001-6473-5397Zika Virus Disease (ZVD) is a viral illness spread primarily through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitos. Human infection with the Zika virus typically presents with mild flu-like symptoms lasting two to seven days. Most recently, the Zika virus has been linked to birth defects triggering the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare ZVD a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Although symptoms are typically mild, it is important that the paramedic has a comfortable working knowledge of ZVD transmission, presentation and steps for personal protection. This review will provide a brief overview of the history of ZVD, epidemiology, prevention, clinical presentation, management, and complications to help better prepare the paramedic for potential encounters with patients with ZVD
