Introduction: There has been a rapid development in minimally invasive pancreas surgery in recent years. The most recent innovation is robotic pancreatoduodenectomy. Several studies have suggested benefits as compared to the open or laparoscopic approach. This review provides an overview of studies concerning patient selection, volume criteria, and training programs for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy and identified knowledge gaps regarding barriers for safe implementation of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy. Materials and methods: A Pubmed search was conducted concerning patient selection, volume criteria, and training programs in robotic pancreatoduodenectomy. Results: A total of 20 studies were included. No contraindications were found in patient selection for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy. The consensus and the Miami guidelines advice is a minimum annual volume of 20 robotic pancreatoduodenectomy procedures per center, per year. One training program was identified which describes superior outcomes after the training program and shortening of the learning curve in robotic pancreatoduodenectomy. Conclusion: Robotic pancreatoduodenectomy is safe and feasable for all indications when performed by specifically trained surgeons working in centers who can maintain a minimum volume of 20 robotic pancreatoduodenectomy procedures per year. Large proficiency-based training program for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy seem essential to facilitate a safe implementation and future research on robotic pancreatoduodenectomy.

Crossmodal integration is a critical component of successful reading, and yet it has been less studied than reading’s unimodal subskills. Proficiency with the sounds of a language (i.e., the phonemes) and with the visual representations of these sounds (graphemes) are both important and necessary precursors for reading, but the formation of a stable integrated representation that combines and links these aspects, and subsequent fluent and automatic access to this crossmodal representation, is unique to reading and is required for its success. Indeed, individuals with specific difficulties in reading, as in dyslexia, demonstrate impairments not only in phonology and orthography but also in integration. Impairments in only crossmodal integration could result in disordered reading via disrupted formation of or access to phoneme–grapheme associations. Alternately, the phonological deficits noted in many individuals with dyslexia may lead to reading difficulties via issues with integration: children who cannot consistently identify and manipulate the sounds of their language will also have trouble matching these sounds to their visual representations, resulting in the manifested deficiencies. We here discuss the importance of crossmodal integration in reading, both generally and as a potential specific causal deficit in the case of dyslexia. We examine the behavioral, functional, and structural neural evidence for a crossmodal, as compared to unimodal, processing issue in individuals with dyslexia in comparison to typically developing controls. We then present an initial review of work using crossmodal- versus unimodal-based reading interventions and training programs aimed at the amelioration of reading difficulties. Finally, we present some remaining questions reflecting potential areas for future research into this topic.

Education and training is recognized to be important to the success of e-government. Nonetheless, research in e-government education has remained at a nascent phase. This paper advances the state of e-government education research through a case study. It answers the research question “How to develop an e-government training program.” Through the adoption of stakeholder theory as the theoretical foundation, and the analysis of the case data, a two-stage process model is developed. This model not only provides a theoretical explanatory basis for the process of developing e-government training programs, but also a practical guide for practitioners in developing such training programs. In addition, it is hoped that this paper will serve as a basis upon which future research can take reference in order to develop a cumulative tradition of employing theoretically-based approach to advance the state of e-government education research.

Many methods for systems design and development entail an iterative approach to the development of training programs. It is intended that feedback from potential users be taken into account throughout the development and implementation of the system. Boies et al. (1985) have observed that, in practice, this is rarely done. In their development of the 1984 Olympic Message System (OMS), Boies et al. adhered to three design principles inherent to an iterative approach: (1) Early focus on user, task and training concerns; (2) empirical measurement; and (3) reformulation of the goals and procedures based on user feedback. The present paper describes our application of these principles in designing a short, informal program for training college faculty in the use of an expensive audio-visual system. Our successful application of Boies et al.'s principles to an already existing system, where there is little opportunity to make hardware modifications, and even to a situation which demands that the training period be very brief, attests to the power and flexibility of this approach.

Psychiatry trainees and training program co-ordinators in Australia and New Zealand were surveyed about psychogeriatric training. Responses were received from the co-ordinators of all training programs and 68% of trainees. Over 94% of responding trainees believe they require at least 3 months' psychogeriatric training. Currently about 70% of trainees obtain a psychogeriatric term by Year 4 of training, with 17 out of 21 training programs having positions available. Most trainees positively rate their psychogeriatric training experiences, with 89% enjoying it and 78% believing it adequate for their needs. It is recommended that psychogeriatric training be available to all trainees before sitting the RANZCP Section 1 examinations.

PurposeResearchers have been trying to identify different psychological attributes which influence entrepreneurial intention (EI) and role of entrepreneurial education and training programs to develop these attributes among women. Therefore, the purpose of this study is twofold: firstly, to evaluate the difference among psychological attributes before and after an entrepreneurial education and training program. Secondly, to examine the effects of psychological attributes on EI among female students in Saudi Arabia.Design/methodology/approachA detailed program was designed with the combination of entrepreneurial education and training program throughout a 14-week semester. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 310 female university students studying in a Saudi university and participated in this program. SPSS, version 20, was used to analyze the data.FindingsEntrepreneurial education and training programs based on active learning and learner-centered approaches play an important role to significantly improve the level of psychological attributes and EI of female students. Furthermore, findings of this study also suggest that psychological attributes (training retention, self-confidence, tolerance of ambiguity, innovativeness and achievement motivation) positively influence EI.Originality/valuePrevious studies only focused on relationship testing among psychological attributes and EI. This research proposes strategies to design entrepreneurial education and training program to improve psychological attributes and EI which can be considered practical version of EntreComp conceptual model.

Education and training (training) is an integral part of human resource development is always oriented to the improvement of the quality and capabilities of human resources. The development of human resources through education and training is one of the media that are considered strategic, because training is a powerful tool to improve knowledge (knowledge), skills (skills) and attitude (attitude). In order to maintain the quality and validity of training, as well as to adjust the training program to the needs of the user unit as well as to accommodate external dynamics, always do the evaluation and improvement on the educational and training has collected, either a refinement of the guidelines of education and training, curriculum, and teaching materials, methods of evaluation , teaching methods, improving the quality of facilities and infrastructure, financing, teacher / instructor, and human resources training organizer itself. Technically, indicators of the success of the work plan of an organization can be found by doing a comparison between actual planned and conduct the development program on the potential possessed. Implementation of the program is called optimal if the compiled program can be realized both in the type of training, the amount of training, and the realization of the training participants, as well as to revise the minimum education and training program and all the potential has to be managed properly. The gap between the desire and the fact this is what will be formulated and ends with the identification of the problems with using the Force Field Analysis (FFA). In planning the optimization of the training program, it is necessary to identify the factors that encourage and inhibit both internally and externally that contribute directly or indirectly tehadap optimization of planning education and training programs. Factors driving and inhibiting obtained under observation in everyday work, discussions with actors training activities, and direct input / written from stakeholders. The driving factors that influence the optimization of the planning of training programs at the Training Center of Tax (a) HR Training Center Tax competent, (b) Requirement K / L & SOE's Tax Training, (c) Support Support Information Technology, (d) Changes in process DGT business, (e) availability of training program development forum, (f) diaplikasikannya e-learning program, (g) availability of training curriculum, and (h) Flexibility in applying the method of training. Inhibiting factors affecting the optimization of the planning of training programs at the Training Center of Tax (a) The lack of quality of the results Coordination, (b) Lack of pattern formation, (c) lack of Total Widyaiswara, (d) There are inadequate facilities and infrastructure, (e) Lack of flexibility Change Financing, (f) Delayed Dialing process Participant Training, (g) Limitation of Training time by User, and (h) Limitations of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Based on the results of a series of calculations / analyzes compiled force field diagram of each Total Weight Value (TNB) the drivers / inhibitors are, then formulated a strategy to maximize and minimize the factors driving and inhibiting the key as well as problem-solving strategies. The key factors and strategy developed with the expectation that future performance can be improved Tax Training Center. Translation of strategy into operational action plan includes activities such as planning, execution, and control. Factors driving the key is (a) Requirement K / L & SOE's Tax Training and (b) Changes in business processes DJP, the chosen strategy to maximize pedorong that key is (a) carry out the identification of K / L and state and create partnership offers training programs taxes and (b) implement a study forum 139 together with the Directorate KITSDA & human Resources Development Section, DGT and assignment to the trainers to conduct a study of business process changes DJP Factors key inhibitors are (a) the lack of quality of the results of coordination and (b) the restriction of time training by the user, the chosen strategy to minimize the key inhibitors are (a) proposed the concept / proposal MOU training program of tax to the DGT and (b) make the draft method training with e-learning. Be aware that no matter how well a strategy would have a weakness, then the recommendations are believed to support the smooth running of the strategy of bringing concepts / ideas MOU to the DGT tax training programs and make a training methods with the concept of e-learning.

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of influence of the implementation of existing education and training programs on the work productivity of civil servants. Based on the results of data processing, it is known that the elements of the implementation of education and training programs that must be considered and improved are as follows: Training Materials, Non-Formal Education, Training Schedules, Instructor Hospitality, Training Variations, Training Methods, and Training Guidebooks. While the elements of implementing education and training programs that must be maintained are as follows: Formal Education, Instructor Skills, Instructor Ability, Training Infrastructure Facilities, Training Curriculum, Training Evaluation. The implementation of education and training programs affects the work productivity of civil servants and the effect of the implementation of training programs is more dominant, this is so because the implementation of training programs is more often done and more applicable even though it still seems theoretical in the work of civil servants. Therefore an appropriate education and training program will have an impact on increasing the productivity of its employees.
