Streamlining plagiarism detection: The role of electronic assessment management
No full textThis paper considers the problem of managing the workload implications of plagiarism detection as part of the larger issue of assessment management and within a holistic approach to educational integrity. It looks specifically at the potential for Electronic Assessment Management (EAM) to provide some of the solutions to this problem. It draws on the work of Mantz Yorke whose research into assessment management calls for the establishment of appropriate structures and mechanisms which support systems that achieve the dual imperatives of efficiency and effectiveness. This paper considers the workload issues related to plagiarism detection under these dual imperatives, looking first at the issue of effectiveness and then turning to consider the issue of efficiency. Finally, it argues for why and how these issues should be taken into account in the procurement of digital plagiarism detection software and how the use of these tools should fit within a rigorous and consistent holistic approach to educational integrity
Learning theories and interprofessional education: a user's guide
No full textThere is increasing interest in the theoretical underpinning of interprofessional education (IPE) and writers in this field are drawing on a wide range of disciplines for theories that have utility in IPE. While this has undoubtedly enriched the research literature, for the educational practitioner, whose aim is to develop and deliver an IPE curriculum that has sound theoretical underpinnings, this plethora of theories has become a confusing, and un-navigable quagmire. This article aims to provide a compass for those educational practitioners by presenting a framework that summarizes key learning theories used in IPE and the relationship between them. The study reviews key contemporary learning theories from the wider field of education used in IPE and the explicit applications of these theories in the IPE literature to either curriculum design or programme evaluation. Through presenting a broad overview and summary framework, the study clarifies the way in which learning theories can aid IPE curriculum development and evaluation. It also highlights areas where future theoretical development in the IPE field is required
Antibacterial CATH-2 Peptide Coating to Prevent Bone Implant-Related Infection
No full textThe development of antibacterial coatings is a promising approach to preventing biofilm formation and reducing the overuse of systemic antibiotics. However, widespread antibiotic use has resulted in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, limiting the efficacy of antibiotic-based coatings. Herein, an antibacterial coating is developed by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of two polymers namely PDLG (poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)) and gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) while chicken cathelicidin-2 (CATH-2), a cationic and amphipathic peptide, is loaded between these polymer layers. The electrospray method is used to apply the coatings to achieve efficient peptide loading and durability. The CATH-2 bactericidal concentration ranges are first identified, followed by a study of their cytotoxicity to human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and macrophage cell lines. Later, different LbL electrospray coating assemblies loaded with the optimal peptide concentration are sought. Various coating strategies are investigated to identify an LbL coating that exhibits prolonged and biocompatible CATH-2 release. The resulting CATH-2-coated titanium surfaces exhibit strong antibacterial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria for 4 days and are biocompatible with hMSCs and macrophage cells. This coating can be considered as a versatile delivery system platform for the delivery of CATH-2 peptides while avoiding cytotoxicity, particularly for the prevention of infections associated with implants.Team Peyman TaheriTeam Arjan Mo
Creating a comfortable working environment for cath lab physicians: Design of a body support
No full textThis project is about developing a solution for cath lab physicians. A cath lab physician is a medical doctor, with a background in cardiology, neurology, electro physiology or radiology, who performs cath lab procedures. A cath lab procedure is a minimal invasive procedure in which a catheter is brought into the body of a patient via a small incision. Cath lab physicians suffer from injuries due to the heavy physical workload of their job. The lead apron they wear to protect themselves against the radiation used during the procedures, in combination with long periods of standing, are the main cause of these injuries. An analysis is performed to get more insight in the nature of the injuries and of the environment of the physicians. To start prototyping in an early stage, a short ideation phase took place directly after the analysis. As a result, this phase brought requirements, wishes and concluded with two design directions. A stool with some new features was the best solution. This stool was designed to support the user. The seat will prevent the injuries on the legs while the integrated sternum support reduces the forces in the back muscle. A test was performed to validate the effect of the sternum support. The test shows a reduction between 10% and 15% of the tension in the back muscle. Further research will have to show if the use of the designed solution will actually prevent hernias in the future.Industrial Design EngineeringIndustrial Desig

Le cró Logo «enclos de Lug» (Cath Maige Tuired, § 69)
No full textThe cró Logo “Lug’s pen” (Cath Maige Tuired, § 69)
The author explores a brief episode contained in the middle-irish mythological tale intituled Cath Maige Tuired : the construction of an enigmatic cró Logo «Lug’s pen» installed near the gates of Tara, whose name was referring to an real place name near the ancient royal capital. He reviews the precedent interpretations of this cró Logo by the scholars (sacred enclosure for some, stockyard for the others) and proposes a new explanation making of this place name a possible synonym of the pan-Celtic name *Lugudūnon, «Lug’s fortress» , also attested in Ireland.L’auteur s’intéresse à un bref épisode du récit mythologique en moyen-irlandais du Cath Maige Tuired, celui de la construction par Lug d’un énigmatique cró Logo «enclos de Lug» aux portes de Tara, dont le nom faisait référence à un toponyme réel à proximité de l’ancienne capitale royale. Il revient sur les interprétations précédemment proposées par les chercheurs sur ce cró Logo (enclos sacré pour les uns, parc à bétail pour les autres) et prône une nouvelle explication faisant de ce nom de lieu un possible synonyme du toponyme panceltique *Lugudūnon, «forteresse de Lug», également attesté en Irlande.Raydon Valéry.

Cath Catharda. An Irish version of Bellum Civile by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus?
No full textThe Irish literary legacy, as well as the Greek and Roman ones, belongs to one of the oldest
legacies in Europe. Among numerous, preserved till nowadays Irish texts, the work Cath Catharda
seems to be particularly interesting. The work is about the civil war in Rome, which took place
in 49–47 B.C. and seems to be an Irish version of Bellum Civile by Lukanus. The text is divided
into twenty one chapters, which quite exactly copy information, which can be fund in Lucanus’
Songs I – VII. Only the first two chapters of the Irish work do not refer to the Roman poem, as
they are peculiar introduction to political situation in Rome and a story about Caesar’s Invasion of
Britain. The chapters 3–21 are closely connected with Songs included in Bellum Civile. Slight differences
which can be noticed in the Irish text are result of the fact that the text is written in prose
and specificity of language. In general Cath Catharda is a very precise copy of Bellum Civile.In the paper the author advances thesis that prose composition Cath Catharda can be an Irish version of Bellum
Civile by Marcus Annaeus Lukanus. The Irish text, which consists of twenty one chapters preserved till nowadays
in the form of in eight manuscripts shows surprising similarity to the Songs I-VII from the Lucanus’
work. Similarities do not only concern the choice of episodes, but also specific expressions, definitions, which
in fact are identical
