Competency Based Education Design and Delivery Webinar Presentation
No full textThis slide deck, provided by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC), was part of a special webinar presentation by Mike Libassi from Sinclair Community College and Doug Miller from Salt Lake Community College (SLCC). Both Sinclair and SLCC are member schools of the CTC's Convergence College Network (CCN) community of practice. These slides offer case-study details on successfully designing and implementing a competency-based program, including a look at the steps for transitioning from a traditional "clock hour" approach to a CBE approach

No full textGoing Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Confronto clinico e radiografico tra due tecniche di artroplastica in sospensione nel trattamento della rizoartrosi.
No full textIntroduzione: La rizoartrosi, processo degenerativo artrosico
dell’articolazione trapezio-metacarpale, è una patologia comune,
la cui incidenza può arrivare fino al 33% nelle donne in età
post-menopausale, e rappresenta il 10% di tutte le localizzazioni
artrosiche. Abbiamo introdotto una modifica alla tecnica sec.
Weilby-Ceruso che prevede, come differenze principali, un’incisione
ridotta, l’apertura del I canale del retinacolo degli estensori
e l’esecuzione di un giro dell’abduttore lungo del pollice (APL)
attraverso un’asola praticata nella porzione più distale del flessore
radiale del carpo (FRC). Scopo dello studio è valutare i risultati
clinici e radiografici della tecnica modificata rispetto all’originale.
Materiali e Metodi: Da gennaio 2014 a settembre 2016 sono
stati eseguiti 32 interventi di artroplastica in sospensione sec.
Weilby-Ceruso modificata in 30 pazienti con un’età media di 65
anni (range 50-78). 24 pazienti, 22 donne e 2 uomini, sono stati
rivalutati ad un follow-up medio di 58 mesi (range 29-76). Sono
stati valutati la dominanza della mano operata, l’esecuzione di
terapie conservative pre-operatorie, l’insorgenza di complicanze,
il dolore, la mobilità articolare, la forza, la soddisfazione e il
trapezial space index.
Risultati:Dai risultati emerge una bassa incidenza di complicanze
e una minima subsidence. Il dolore riferito sotto sforzo è maggiore
se la mano operata è dominante; sebbene non sia associato
ad una riduzione della forza. Una differenza di genere è stata
riscontrata per la subsidence al primo mese postoperatorio. Tale
differenza tende ad annullarsi con il tempo. L’esecuzione di terapie
conservative preoperatorie determina migliori outcomes.
Discussione: Elementi a favore di questa modifica sono la sua
semplicità di esecuzione, l’incisione chirurgica ridotta e la bassa
incidenza di complicanze, a fronte di un’articolarità e forza
comparabili tra le due tecniche. L’incidenza di complicanze e di
subsidence risulta comparabile con i risultati presenti il letteratura.
La differenza di genere per la subsidence potrebbe essere
correlata ad una maggior lassità legamentosa nelle donne come
fattore eziopatogenetico.
Conclusioni: La tecnica di artroplastica in sospensione sec.
Weilby-Ceruso modificata si è dimostrata una valida opzione
chirurgica grazie alla semplicità di esecuzione, all’incisione chirurgica
ridotta e alla ridotta incidenza di complicanze
Redemption: A Performance Journey
No full textAfter an injury severely limited the author’s ability to play guitar, he searched for a way to continue performing. In Redemption, the author explores different iterations of the artist’s relationship to technology through live performance. This will include both live instruments and electronics as sound sources, as well as a visual component. The author uses different configurations of live electronics, prerecorded loops, live instruments, and live recorded loops throughout the performance. Using Ableton Live, the author has found a new path to performing original music, bringing all of his skills together into one live performance.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-production-technology/1422/thumbnail.jp
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
A rationale basis for airways conditioning: too wet or not too wet?
No full textMedical gases conditioning during mechanical invasive ventilation is nowadays a problem. In fact, in spite of conditioning guidelines, absolute humidity (AH) into 25-35 mg/l, clinical evaluation of the optimal level of airway humidification has not yet been established with certainty. Physiologically, during spontaneous respiration the airway hydric balance, inspiratory AH expiratory AH, is negative of 27 mg/l about. Usually the patients on mechanical ventilation have an expiratory AH of 32-33 mg/l. An overhumidification of inspired gases, positive airway hydric balance, gives anatomic-physiological alterations of airways and lung parenchyma. During invasive mechanical ventilation, the practice of active hot humidifiers has a positive or level airway hydric balance. We think that inspired AH must be equal to expired AH to maintain an airway hydric balance at least level. At last, the temperature of inspired gases, with active hot humidifiers, shouldn't exceed 32-34 degrees C
