Research Centers and Institutes in U.S. Medical Schools: A Descriptive Analysis

Introduction: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has gained relevance as a method of prevention for HIV in certain people and settings. Following the publication of the guideline on PrEP prescribing in Portugal, we aimed to assess the knowledge of Portuguese Medical Students about PrEP.Material and Methods: An online survey was sent to Medical students of Portuguese Medical Schools. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the results and an analytic cross-sectional study to identify factors associated with “knowing about PrEP”, “having had one class about PrEP” and “identifying eligible groups correctly”.Results: Of the 796 students that responded to the survey, 64.6% were aware of what PrEP is. Of these, 34.44% acquired this knowledge during their training. Out of the total amount of respondents, 4.77% could identify correctly and completely the eligible groups for PrEP. As the training years went by, the probability of being aware of PrEP, having had one class about PrEP, and identifying the eligible groups correctly, increased. Of the sixth-year students, 43.48% had had one class about PrEP and among the students that were aware of PrEP, 28% identified what the eligible groups were. After adjusting for the school year, we found differences between Medical Schools regarding the outcomes. The association between the different ways of learning about PrEP and the ability to correctly identify eligible groups for PrEP was not statistically significant.Conclusion: The differences between Medical Schools could be harmonized through changes in the medical curricula that would allow this topic to be addressed more often.

Abstract Background Radiology serves in the diagnosis and management of many diseases. Despite its rising importance and use, radiology is not a core component of a lot of medical school curricula. This survey aims to clarify current gaps in the radiological education in Egyptian medical schools. In February–May 2021, 5318 students enrolled in Egyptian medical schools were recruited and given a 20-multiple-choice-question survey assessing their radiology knowledge, radiograph interpretation, and encountered imaging experiences. We measured the objective parameters as a percentage. We conducted descriptive analysis and used Likert scales where values were represented as numerical values. Percentages were graphed afterwards. Results A total of 5318 medical students in Egypt answered our survey. Gender distribution was 45% males and 54% females. The results represented all 7 class years of medical school (six academic years and a final training year). In assessing students’ knowledge of radiology, most students (75%) reported that they received ‘too little’ education, while 20% stated the amount was ‘just right’ and only 4% reported it was ‘too much.’ Sixty-two percent of students stated they were taught radiology through medical imaging lectures. Participants’ future career plans were almost equally distributed. Near half of participants (43%) have not heard about the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria (ACR-AR), while 39% have heard about it but are not familiar with. Conclusions Radiology is a novel underestimated field. Therefore, medical students need more imaging exposure. To accomplish this, attention and efforts should be directed toward undergraduate radiology education to dissolve the gap between radiology and other specialties during clinical practice. A survey answered by medical students can bridge between presence of any current defect in undergraduate radiology teaching and future solutions for this topic.

Way Of Thinking

Subjek penelitian ini adalah cerpen “Misteri Polaroid”, “Cerpen Perempuan Tanpa Ibu Jari”, dan Cerpen “Darah” karya Intan Paramaditha yang terdapat dalam antologi cerpen Sihir Perempuan. Dalam bingkai strukturalisme, yaitu mengidentifikasi perilaku, pola pikir tokoh-tokoh, dan mitos seputar kecantikan yang terdapat pada ketiga cerpen tersebut, peneliti menggunakan teori Levi Strauss dan Roland Barthes. Teori Foucault tentang seksualitas dan kekuasaan dipergunakan untuk mengidentifikasi dominasi kaum patriarki terhadap tubuh dan kecantikan perempuan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif analitis dengan menggunakan pendekatan objektif. Analisis data dilakukan berdasarkan fakta yang ada secara empiris dalam ketiga cerpen yang dianalisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan tidak memiliki kekuasaan atas dirinya sendiri. Konstruksi patriarki tentang cantik dan tidak cantik membuat perempuan menjadi liyan. Konstruksi tersebut diperkuat juga oleh sifat ambivalen perempuan tentang tubuh dan kecantikan yang ada dalam diri perempuan.Abstract:The research centers on Paramaditha’s short stories of “Misteri Polaroid”, “Perempuan Tanpa Ibu Jari”, and “Darah” taken from the anthology of “Sihir Perempuan”. The writer applies Levi Strauss and Roland Barther’ theory to identify behaviour, characters’ way of thinking, and myth on beauty in three short stories in structural way. Foucault’s theory on sexuality and power was used to identify patriachal domination toward women’s body and beauty. The method used in this research is descriptive analysis with objective approach. Data analysis is empirically conducted based on the fact in three short stories. The result of the research shows that women have no power over themselves. Patriarchal construction on being and not being beautiful makes them turn into other person. The construction is also reinforced by their ambivalent nature about body and beauty that exist in their perception.

Language Analysis

Elicited imitation tasks are frequently used as a diagnostic tool in evaluating children with communication handicaps. This article presents a scoring procedure that can be used to obtain an in-depth descriptive analysis of responses produced on elicited imitation tasks. The Elicited Language Analysis Procedure makes it possible to systematically evaluate responses in terms of both their syntactic and semantic relationships to the stimulus sentences presented by the examiner. Response quality measures are also included in the analysis procedure.
