Mapping the Association of Emotional Contagion to Leaders, Colleagues, and Clients: Implications for Leadership
Get PDFThe present paper investigates emotional contagion in workplaces by proposing an expanded approach that simultaneously considers contagion both absorbed by (i.e., contagion absorbed) and issued towards (i.e., contagion infected) others, namely within-individual bi-directional contagion. Furthermore, it explores the differential association of contagion to leaders, colleagues, and clients, namely a holistic mapping. Participants (N=694) from six organizations were asked how frequently they both absorbed from and transmitted four basic emotions to others, and whether the emotional experience occurred with regard to their leaders, colleagues, and clients. The findings reveal that positive and negative emotions considered for within-individual bi-directional contagion were more frequently experienced with colleagues followed by clients, whereas leaders were the least associated with emotional contagion. The relevance of a holistic mapping of emotional contagion in work settings and its implications for leadership are discussed

M.Sc. in Midwifery, Faculty member of Shahid Beheshti Medical University, Ph.D. Candidate Pediatric, Neurorehabilitation Research Center, Corresponding author: Torkzahrani Shahnaz; [email protected]: The premature or low birth weight infants in the neonatal intensive care unit admission are affected not only by body’s physiology and immature developmental condition but also by environmental stress; thereby they are at high risk of developing neurodevelopmental delay. The aim of this study was to review the emerging fi eld of neurodevelopmetal disorders and strategies to reduce it.Materials and Methods: In this review article, Iranmedex، Sciencedirect،google Scholar، SID, PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO-CINAHL databases between 1960 to 2013 were searched for finding the relevant studies.Result: The review of literature indicates that developmental care mostly reports positive effects on neurodevelopmental outcomes and helps preterm infants cope with the environment of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Healing environment, partnering with families, positioning and handling, safeguarding sleep and optimizing nutrition are main core measures of developmental care. The structuring and designing of NICU environment for the high risk neonate has important policy implications for neonatal healthcare and beyond hospital stay.Key Words: Developmental care, Neurodevelopment, NICU, preterm, low birth weight
Situating Globalization: Views from Egypt
Get PDFThe range of perspectives and original materials dealt with by each author highlights the renewed urgency of the struggle for cultural autonomy and voice within the context of globalization. In other words, each paper explores how the various processes at both the local and global level intersect to create new discourses and debates round the »indigenization of knowledge.« If a new wind of cultural decolonization is blowing through the Arab Middle East, which is having profound impact on the lives of men and women, then we should expect a new scholarship to emerge in order to grasp and understand it. This book is a contribution in that direction

CRICOTHYROTOMY: An eLearning Module
No full textIntroduction: After graduating from medical school students can enter emergency medicine residency which is a three or four-year long program aimed and teaching them to become emergency medicine physicians. During this time learning is focused on clinical knowledge, clinical practice, didactic and procedure training. One airway procedure residents learn is the cricothyrotomy which is a low frequency, high risk procedure. The purpose of this project was to create an online asynchronous learning module that utilized multimedia and interactivity to teach the emergency cricothyrotomy. Literature Review: Millennial learners, defined as those born from years 1982 to 2004, differ from previous generations in that they grew up with technology, they are self- directed and find benefit in the application of knowledge, not just the acquisition of knowledge. Simulation, augmented reality, flipped classroom and asynchronous learning as all different types of education that help learners gain and apply knowledge and are proven efficacious means to teach millennial learners. Further the millennial’s ease with technology is an easy way to blend traditional education with asynchronous learning and the integration of multimedia modules. Methodology: The author uses the ADDIE model of instructional design to develop an asynchronous learning module to teach the emergency cricothyrotomy. Analysis phase consisted of determining the target audience, a needs assessment to determine the appropriate procedure to use for the subject of the module and the learners access to technology. Next the layout of the learning module was determined in the design phase. The development phase consisted of creating the final product—photographs, videos and audio recordings were developed and questions were generated. All content was imported to a MacBook and then into the program Adobe Captivate 9® to create the fully interactive module. The author strived to abide by Myer’s Multimedia Principles when creating the e-learning module. During the implementation phase the author tested the module on several different computers, tablets and phones. Instructional review board approval was obtained at both Cal Poly Pomona and UC Irvine. Lastly was the evaluation phase where the learners were provided the module to complete and assessed on a Kirkpatrick level one and two—reactions and knowledge retention. Discussion: Twenty Four residents were sent the asynchronous learning module. Thirteen residents completed the module, the average end of the module quiz was 97%, with a high of 100% and a low of 87.5%. Overall the residents had positive comments regarding the module, with the main negative comments being the difficulty with functionality on phones. Although this was a small single location study the results are promising that an asynchronous module can be used to teach procedures and test learning retention
The Gold Rush Experience - An Augmented Reality Game for Fourth Grade Students
No full textThe National Education Technology Plan, set forth by the U.S. Department of Education, challenged the educational system to incorporate 21st century technology through instruction delivery, in a meaningful and engaging manner in all subject matters. Early research demonstrated that augmented reality (AR), alongside the constructivist, social learning theories, and designed-based research has begun to meet the requisites established by the Department of Education (Dunleavy & Dede, 2014; Wasko, 2013; Yuen et al., 2011; Ke & Hsu, 2015; Ahn & Choi, 2015; Chiang et al., 2014).
Simultaneously coexisting computer-generated 2D content (i.e., sounds, videos, images, texts, icons, etc.) superimposed on a real-world environment immersing a user’s reality, defines augmented reality (Butchart, 2011; Yuen et al., 2011). Though AR has been around for years, it is still considered to be at its infancy, especially in the educational field. Prior to entering the educational sector, AR was limited to the military and medical sectors due to expensive specialized equipment. However, as technological advances enabled mobile devices to access AR, it became more accessible to other sectors, including education (Azuma, 2015; Yuen, Yaoyuneyong, & Johnson, 2011).
The purpose of the project, the ‘Gold Rush Experience’, was to create a fourth grade interactive history lesson inspired by the Gold Rush and enriched by augmented reality. The game’s objective was to engaged learners through the augmentation of video and audio overlaid on static images based on game-based learning (GBL) interwoven with inquiry-based learning (IBL). The ‘Gold Rush Experience’ interactive game was created using the Augmented Reality and Interactive Storytelling authoring tool called ARIS.
After IRB approval, twenty-five elementary teachers were invited to participate in the study via email. Of those, 12 voluntarily participated and completed a 14-question anonymous survey. Participants of the study were asked to evaluate the effectiveness of AR as an instructional delivery format for students. The analysis of the results indicated that participants favored augmented reality by averaging a 4.83 in interest level, 4.5 in AR effectiveness, 4.5 in information retention, and 4.83 would consider integrating AR as a classroom resource out of a 5-point rating.
Based on the field testing results, the author of this project is recommending continued research in the areas of AR stability within the game as it was one of the major glitches within the study based on the results. Furthermore, research needs to be conducted in the areas of learner retention and academic outcomes of the content in order to fully evaluate the potential impact that augmented reality can make in the educational field
