Abstract Purpose To analyze the perceived learning opportunities of participants of the International Meeting on Reconstructive Urology (IMORU) VIII for both live surgery demonstrations (LSD) and semi-live surgery demonstrations (SLSD). Safety and educational efficacy of LSD and SLSD at live surgery events (LSE) have been debated extensively, however, objective data comparing learning benefits are missing. Methods We conducted a detailed survey, which employed the Kirkpatrick model, a well-established assessment method of training models, to investigate participants preferences as well as the learning benefit of LSE. Furthermore, we employed an audience response system and the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS), a well-established assessment method of surgery skills, to let our participants rate the perceived learning opportunity of LSD and SLSD. Results Of 229 participants at the IMORU VIII, 39.7% returned our questionnaires. 90% stated that they prefer LSD. On all levels of Kirkpatrick’s training evaluation model, the IMORU received high ratings, suggesting a high learning benefit. For the assessment of OSATS, a total of 23 surgical cases were evaluable. For all six utilized items, LSD scored significantly better ratings than SLSD. Conclusion Our study suggests that there is still a rationale for LSD, as participants attributed a statistically significant higher learning benefit to LSD over SLDS. Evaluation of the survey showed that for LSE such as the IMORU VIII, a high learning benefit can be expected. Considering that most of our participants are active surgeons with high caseloads, their opinion on the educational value of LSE is of high relevance.

The Entrepreneurship Skills Education Program (ESE) has been held since 2016 in Indonesia. The focus of this training is the change in knowledge, skills and attitudes of entrepreneurs with the main target of people who are weak in the economic and educational side. This program is an effort to expand access to education and employment opportunities through the creation of new entrepreneurs. The Course and Training Institute (CTI) has a role in organizing the ESE program. Considering its strategic position in community economic empowerment, this study aims to 1) describe the evaluation model used by CTI in the ESE Program and 2) describe the follow-up of the ESE program evaluation results. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The sample was chosen based on purposive sampling, namely 1) CTI has conducted at least two years programs, 2) the type of bridal makeup training, 3) CTI is in West Java. From the determination of the sample, CTI were selected in Cimahi, Cianjur, and Bekasi. Data were collected through interviews with 3 managers from June to August 2019. Data were analysed using qualitative methods of the Milles and Huberman models. The results showed that: 1) the evaluation model of the Entrepreneurship Skills Education Program uses CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product). Context shows the goals of the program, the input shows the changes needed to improve the program, the process shows the suitability of the plan with the implementation of the program, and the product shows the measurement of program achievements. 2) the follow-up of the evaluation results carried out by CTI regarding the ESE Program has an effect on the improvement of the program in the following year. This is indicated by a change in the indicators of success in the 2019 ESE program. The implications of this study as material for developing an entrepreneurship education evaluation model in non-formal institutions and the basis for decision making. Keywords: Entrepreneurial Education, CIPP, Evaluation Model, Course and Training Institution, Government Funded.

Connected with the practical construction and considering Structural properties of single-tower self-anchored suspension bridge, the multi-level safety evaluation model is established according to the main risk factor and weighting rate of risk factor is analyzed by the analytic hierarchy process. A safety assessment method with qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis is proposed based on the grey theory and fuzzy mathematics theory for the practical problem of multi-index comprehensive evaluation, and risk ranking is given.

The most usual failure mode of any mechanical structure is fatigue, which is characterized by an important feature of the decrease of elastic modulus of the material. In this paper, a fatigue life evaluation model based on equivalent elastic modulus is proposed for in-service mechanical structure. In the proposed model, parameters that represent the operating conditions of the mechanical structure, such as load, vibration, and shaft torque, etc., are used as the generalized load. To replace the fatigue stress, the statistical method is used here, which is also used in the conventional fatigue analysis method. The structural strain is also measured simultaneously. Using the statistical theory, the equivalent modulus of elasticity is formulated based on the relationship of stress, strain, and modulus of elasticity. To validate the proposed model, an online fatigue damage experiment has been conducted. The experimental results have been compared with that of the fatigue life prediction model with good agreement. It is expected that the methodology proposed in this paper will be widely used.
