The Impact

Arts and humanities education is widespread in undergraduate but almost nonexistent in postgraduate medical education where it is arguably more helpful. This book fills that gap. It covers a wide range of arts and humanities subjects including film, theatre, narrative, visual art, history, ethics, and social sciences. Each chapter provides not only 1) a literature review of the relevant subject in postgraduate medical education and, where helpful, undergraduate medical education but 2) a theoretical discussion of the subject as it relates to medicine and medical education 3) challenges to implementing arts and humanities programming and 4) appendices with a number of different and relevant resources as well as sample lesson plans. There is a chapter on the use of humanities in interprofessional education, a domain whose importance has recently gained prominence. Finally there are also chapters guiding the medical humanities educator on evaluating the impact of their programs, an ever-present challenge, and on the thorny issue of how to fund programs in medical humanities.

This introductory chapter provides a short history of medical humanities and continues on to give an overview of the limits of medical practice, evidence-based medicine (EBM), successes and failures, curricula, and the current state of medical humanities. The medical and health humanities have become a widespread discipline, with journals, institutes, and associations worldwide. Throughout undergraduate medical education, new courses, electives, programs, and research are proliferating. Yet there is very little officially documented about relevance and efficacy in postgraduate medical education. The chapters that follow provide both a rigorous argument for using the arts and humanities in postgraduate medical education and a practical “how-to” that will guide readers in developing arts and humanities initiatives in their own program or medical school. Each chapter provides ideas, hands-on lesson plans, and resources to pave the way forward.

The Impact

Building a unique USP sales argument (unique selling proposition) through various forms of in-store communication comes to the fore in a challenging competitive environment. Scent as a means to influence the purchase of goods or services has a long history, however, aromachology as field of in-store communication is a matter of the present. This new trend, the importance and use of which has grown in recent years, is the subject of a wide range of research. In order to increase the efficiency of these elements, it is necessary to familiarise ourselves with the factors that affect the customer, whether that be consciously or unconsciously. Consumer neuroscience is addressed in this area. This paper deals with the comprehensive interdisciplinary investigation of the impact of selected aromatic compounds on consumer cognitive and affective processes as well as assessing the effectiveness of their implementation in food retail operations. At the end of the paper, we recommend options for the effective selection and implementation of aromatisation of different premises, by which the retailer can achieve not only a successful form of in-store communication, but also an increase the retail turnover of the store.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rapid transformation in the delivery of postgraduate medical education, causing unexpected effects on the learning experiences of residents in training. Program directors, as educational leaders, are relied on to adapt an established curriculum and clinical experience into a virtual world while navigating the limitations imposed by the pandemic. In this article, we focus on the impact of the dramatic changes to medical education delivery on both learners and leaders and examine the challenges and successes of the new strategies employed. A reflection of the importance of leadership in medical education is discussed, along with a review of the strategies that have emerged as successful and worthy of integration into our new medical education paradigm.

ABSTRAK Remaja dengan berbagai masalahnya dapat memunculkan berbagai perilaku berupa kenakalan remaja. Kenakalan remaja mengacu kepada suatu rentang perilaku yang sangat luas, salah satu bentuk kenakalan remaja adalah kenakalan perilaku seksual. Perkembangan e-media seperti terbukanya informasi memungkinkan mengakses berbagai macam informasi pornografi, yang tidak layak dikonsumsi oleh remaja. Bentuk informasi ini sulit dikontrol dan mudah didapat bahkan dikota kecil seperti Batulicin. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui dampak e-media terhadap kenakalan perilaku seksual pada remaja di Batulicin dan mengetahui bentuk-bentuk kenakalan perilaku seksual akibat e-media pada remaja di Batulicin. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif, dengan teknik studi kasus deskriptif yang bertujuan mengetahui dampak dan bentuk-bentuk e-media terhadap kenakalan perilaku seksual pada remaja di Batulicin. Subjek penelitian adalah 2 orang remaja SMA di Batulicin dan 1 orang remaja MA di Batulicin, berusia 15 sampai 21 tahun dan memiliki akses untuk menggunakan e-media. Teknik pengumpulan data penelitian ini menggunakan teknik observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi dan tes grafis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketiga subjek telah melakukan hubungan seksual diluar nikah. Penyebabnya karena beberapa faktor internal dan eksternal. Tidak adanya norma yang dimiliki untuk menyaring informasi menjadikan subjek terjerumus dan melakukan kenakalan perilaku seksual. Informasi yang didapat melalui teman dan e-media seperti HP, laptop dan TV untuk memutar video porno. Bentuk kenakalan perilaku seksual ketiga subjek adalah berpegangan tangan, necking (berciuman sampai daerah dada), meraba payudara dan alat kelamin, petting (saling menempelkan alat kelamin), membaca atau menonton berbau pornografi, melakukan hubungan seksual. Kata kunci: E-Media, Kenakalan Perilaku Seksual, Remaja ABSTRACT  Adolescents with a variety of problems can bring a variety of behaviors such as delinquency. Juvenile delinquency refers to a very wide range of behaviors, one of which is sexual behavior delinquency. The development of e-media information such as the open information enable the access to various kinds of pornography, which is not suitable for adolescents. This kind of information is difficult to control and easy to obtain even in a small town like Batulicin. The purpose of this study was to find out the impact of e-media on sexual behavior delinquency, and the forms of sexual behavior delinquency as a result of e-media in adolescents in Batulicin. The method used in this study was a qualitative approach, with a descriptive case study technique aimed at knowing the impact and forms of e-media on sexual behavior delinquency in adolescents in Batulicin. The subjects were 2 adolescents in SMA at Batulicin and 1 adolescent in MA at Batulicin, aged 15 to 21 years and having an access to e-media. Data were collected using techniques of observation, interview, documentation and graphical test. The results showed that all three subjects had sexual relations outside marriage. It was caused by several internal and external factors. The absence of norms to filter information made the subject fall in sexual behavior delinquency. The information were obtained through friends and e-media such as HP, laptop and TV playing porn videos. The forms of sexual behavior delinquency in three subjects were holding hands, necking (kissing up to the chest), touching breast and genital organ, petting, reading or watching pornography, and sexual intercourse. Keywords: E-Media, Sexual Behavior Delinquency, Adolescent

Clinical Complexity

Numerous medical schools have been updating and modernising their undergraduate curricula in response to the changing health needs of today’s society and the updated General Medical Council competencies required for qualification. The humanities are sometimes seen as a way of addressing both of these requirements. Medical humanities advocates would argue that the humanities have a vital role to play in undergraduate medical education, allowing students to develop the critical tools required by the 21st-century clinician to deliver the best person-centred care. While we endorse this view, we contend that such training must be taught authentically to have maximal impact. This article arises from a collaboration between Imperial College London and Birkbeck, University of London, which aimed to embed the humanities into Imperial’s undergraduate medical curriculum. Here, we use a teaching session on graphic medicine and narrative as a case study to illustrate how the humanities can be a powerful tool for students to explore professional clinical complexity and uncertainty when taught in a transdisciplinary way. In this session, uncertainty operated on several different levels: the introduction of unfamiliar concepts, materials, and methods to students, transdisciplinary approaches to teaching, and the complexities of real-life clinical practice. Further, we argue that to manage uncertainty, medical students must cross from a scientific training based on positivist understandings of evidence and knowledge, to one which foregrounds multiplicity, nuance, interpretive critical thinking, and which understands knowledge as contingent and contextually produced. In facilitating such learning, it is crucial that the teaching team includes experts from both medical and humanities fields to scaffold student learning in an intellectually dynamic way, drawing on their disciplinary knowledge and wide range of personal professional experiences.

AbstractThis paper aims to position the birth of the Medical Humanities movement in a greater historical context of twentieth century American medical education and to paint a picture of the current landscape of the Medical Humanities in medical training. It first sheds light on the model of medical education put forth by Abraham Flexner through the publishing of the 1910 Flexner Report, which set the stage for defining physicians as experimentalists and rooting the profession in research institutions. While this paved the way for medical advancements, it came at the cost of producing a patriarchal approach to medical practice. By the late 1960s, the public persona of the profession was thus devoid of humanism. This catalyzed the birth of the Medical Humanities movement that helped lay the framework for what has perpetuated as the ongoing incorporation of humanistic subjects into medical training. As we enter a time in medicine in which rates of burnout are ever-increasing and there are growing concerns about a concomitant reduction in empathy among trainees, the need for instilling humanism remains important. We must consequently continue to consider how to ensure the place of the Medical Humanities in medical education moving forward.

The article is devoted to a set of issues related to the study of administrative and legal support of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine as a subject of ensuring the system of economic security of the state. Emphasis is placed on the need for systematic comprehensive support of Ukraine's economic security system by effectively countering a wide range of real threats to the domestic economic sector in the current difficult period. An attempt is made to substantiate the expediency of positioning the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine as one of many entities to ensure the economic security of the state and determine its place among other government agencies aimed at protecting the analyzed component of state security. In particular, the emphasis is on the criminal acts under investigation of the subject, as well as the assessment of the impact of the consequences of most acts of corruption on the domestic economy. It is emphasized that effective counteraction to the latter should contribute to the proper functioning of the entire system of economic security of Ukraine. It has been established that the national anti-corruption bureau of Ukraine works, aims, and functions as one that supports the system of economic security. Attention is drawn to a significant other part of other systems of the economic component of security. The separate issues of coordination and subcontracted coordination, reporting on the effective use of consolidation of own efforts to effectively counter a wide range of domestic and existing threats, are exogenous and endogenous in origin, and are well-known translations for the national economy.

BACKGROUND Medical postgraduates’ demand for data capabilities is growing, as biomedical research becomes more data driven, integrative, and computational. In the context of the application of big data in health and medicine, the integration of data mining skills into postgraduate medical education becomes important. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to demonstrate the design and implementation of a medical data mining course for medical postgraduates with diverse backgrounds in a medical school. METHODS We developed a medical data mining course called “Practical Techniques of Medical Data Mining” for postgraduate medical education and taught the course online at Peking Union Medical College (PUMC). To identify the background knowledge, programming skills, and expectations of targeted learners, we conducted a web-based questionnaire survey. After determining the instructional methods to be used in the course, three technical platforms—Rain Classroom, Tencent Meeting, and WeChat—were chosen for online teaching. A medical data mining platform called Medical Data Mining - R Programming Hub (MedHub) was developed for self-learning, which could support the development and comprehensive testing of data mining algorithms. Finally, we carried out a postcourse survey and a case study to demonstrate that our online course could accommodate a diverse group of medical students with a wide range of academic backgrounds and programming experience. RESULTS In total, 200 postgraduates from 30 disciplines participated in the precourse survey. Based on the analysis of students’ characteristics and expectations, we designed an optimized course structured into nine logical teaching units (one 4-hour unit per week for 9 weeks). The course covered basic knowledge of R programming, machine learning models, clinical data mining, and omics data mining, among other topics, as well as diversified health care analysis scenarios. Finally, this 9-week course was successfully implemented in an online format from May to July in the spring semester of 2020 at PUMC. A total of 6 faculty members and 317 students participated in the course. Postcourse survey data showed that our course was considered to be very practical (83/83, 100% indicated “very positive” or “positive”), and MedHub received the best feedback, both in function (80/83, 96% chose “satisfied”) and teaching effect (80/83, 96% chose “satisfied”). The case study showed that our course was able to fill the gap between student expectations and learning outcomes. CONCLUSIONS We developed content for a data mining course, with online instructional methods to accommodate the diversified characteristics of students. Our optimized course could improve the data mining skills of medical students with a wide range of academic backgrounds and programming experience.
