Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a serious social and economic problem, and control over it is highly dependent from the overall performance of the system of public first aid and resuscitation training. Coverage of the population with theoretical and practical training in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is significantly limited in the Russian Federation, and the quality of training is generally low. Based on the analysis of international scientific literature and current international guidelines, this review is delineating modern organizational approaches and technologies of resuscitation training that help to enhance the efficiency and increase the accessibility of CPR training for lay people. In particular, the paper discusses methods of resuscitation training utilizing distant learning technologies, technical means for CPR skills training using feedback and virtual reality technologies, target audience and retraining intervals. Guided by the results of analysis of the cumulative experience, the directions for optimization of the resuscitation training system in Russia are proposed, that offer a perspective to improve coverage of the population with basic CPR training, increase the rates of bystander resuscitation and decrease mortality from OHCA.

The article reviews the scientific literature on the quality of distance learning. The forced temporary transfer of the educational process to a distance form is considered as an unplanned event to assess the quality of education, which allows us to assess the effectiveness of the management system in education for all participants in educational relations, as well as to determine the directions of modernization and development of the education system as a whole. The use of digital technologies in the educational process helps the teacher to more fully build interaction with students, improve their methodological and organizational skills and competencies, use visual formats for presenting various information, which, in turn, contributes to the development of cognitive activity of schoolchildren and students. Educational interaction in the framework of distance learning has a special specificity and special qualities that place increased demands on the professional competence and pedagogical qualifications of teachers, as well as on the personal and professional competencies of all subjects of the distance educational process. Distance learning now allows interaction between the trainers and trainees, but not fully appropriate to ensure the achievement of learning objectives, learning content of the subject and control assessment of knowledge, skills, competencies. Distance learning technologies should complement (and this is their significant functionality and potential), and not replace the already established traditional face-to-face forms of educational interaction, models and methods of teaching.

Introduction: Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to offer a novel approach to CPR training that supplements conventional training methods with gamification and a more interactive learning experience. This is done through computer-generated imagery superimposed on users’ view of the real environment to simulate interactive training scenarios. Objective: We sought to test the feasibility of an AR CPR training system (CPReality) for health care providers (HCPs). Methods: In this feasibility trial, a CPR training manikin was integrated with a commercial AR device (Microsoft HoloLens) to provide participants with real-time audio-visual feedback via a holographic overlay of blood flow to vital organs dependent on CC quality. In this system, higher quality CC visually improved virtual blood circulation. HCPs performed a 2-minute cycle of hands-only CPR using only the AR system, and CC parameters were recorded. Descriptive data on participants’ demographics, CC quality, and satisfaction with the training environment were reported. Results: Between 10/2019-11/2019, we enrolled a convenience sample of 51 HCPs. The median age of participants was 31 years (IQR 27-41), 71% (36/51) were female, and 67% (34/51) were registered nurses. CC rates (mean 126 ± 12.9 cpm), depths (median 53 mm, IQR 46-58), and percent with complete recoil (median 80%, IQR 12-100) were consistent with guideline recommendations for good quality CPR. Participants were predominantly satisfied with the system, with 82% perceiving the experience as realistic, 98% recognizing the visualizations as helpful for training, and 94% willing to use the application in future CPR training. Conclusions: As AR is increasingly applied in the healthcare setting, integration in CPR training offers a novel and promising educational approach. In this convenience sample of trained HCPs, high quality CC delivery was feasible using the AR CPR training system which was received favorably by most participants.

The authors make an attempt of solving the task of providing the students with a possibility to assess the quality of the organization and content of the higher education. The authors consider the Russian and Western practices of engaging students in such assessing activities as one of their main actors. The article identifies the most common forms of student participation in ensuring the quality of education, some of its problem areas and unused resources. Thus, the basic form of student participation in evaluation and control activities in the university is to fill out various questionnaires in order to express their assessments and opinions about the courses taken during the training period. The authors considered some relevant practices of foreign and Russian universities, in particular, the experience of the RUDN University, North-Eastern Federal University, Institute of Quality Student Commissioners of the Kemerovo branch of the RSTEU, and the Center for Applied Sociological Research of the MPEI. The article presents the results of the sociological study of opinions and assessments of the MPEI graduates in technical and social-humanitarian areas, which was conducted in 2017-2019 on the issues of basic and professional training. The monitoring study revealed a number of factors that affect the quality of practical training at the university, which allowed the authors to identify the key problems of marketing educational services by the contemporary university and to show the need to study the issues of self-realization of graduates, their demand in the labor market, and to search for new criteria for assessing the quality of higher education. The authors believe that we need a new ideology of quality management in the higher education, and propose some conditions and measures that would ensure the high quality of the higher education in Russia.

Abstract Introduction The focus of medical-didactic research is the improvement of clinical-practical training. One way to support practical skills training in a time- and resource-saving way is to provide instructional videos. Often the freely available instructional videos do not meet didactic or content requirements. Creating your own videos can therefore be a useful alternative for teachers. There are a variety of instructions on the Internet for shooting instruction videos. To date, this does not include any concrete instructions/assistance for the production of medical instructional videos. However, the presentation of medical learning content in particular can contain many hurdles. The aim of this work was to design a checklist for the creation of instructional videos, which can be used as a guide. Methods As a first step, a systematic literature search was carried out to identify works that deal with the creation and not the use of medical instructional videos. To date, corresponding publications do not exist. In a workshop, the participants, who already gained experience in creating this type of video, exchanged ideas. These were critically discussed and analyzed. As a result, a checklist was created. In a subsequent multi-step review process, the checklist was reviewed with regard to applicability, comprehensibility, completeness and quality of the items. Results Four phases in the creation of an instructional video could be differentiated: preliminary reflections, preparation, day of filming, post-production. The checklist is structured accordingly and should be actively processed phase by phase. The checklist is created in such a way that it can be used and edited without reading this text. Particular focus is placed on the patient and his needs. Conclusion The checklist created provides useful help in the creation of medical instructional videos and can for the first time serve as a guide especially for orthopedic and accident surgical instructional videos.

AbstractIntroduction:Recent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines recommend the use of CPR prompt/feedback devices during CPR training because it can improve the quality of CPR.Problem:Chest compression depth and full chest recoil show a trade-off relationship. Therefore, achievement of both targets (adequate chest compression depth and full chest recoil) simultaneously is a difficult task for CPR instructors. This study hypothesized that introducing a visual feedback device to the CPR training could improve the chest compression depth and ratio of full chest recoil simultaneously.Methods:The study investigated the effects of introducing a visual feedback device during CPR training by comparing the results of skill tests before and after introducing a visual feedback device. The results of skill tests from 2016 through 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The strategy of emphasizing chest compression depth was implemented during the CPR training in 2017, and a visual feedback device was introduced in 2018. The interval between the CPR training and skill tests was seven days. Feedback was not provided during the skill tests.Results:In total, 159 students completed skill tests. Although the chest compression depth increased significantly from 50 mm (42–54) to 60 mm (59–61) after emphasizing chest compression depth (P < .001), the ratio of full chest recoil decreased simultaneously from 100% (100–100) to 81% (39–98; P < .001). The ratio of full chest recoil increased significantly from 81% (39–98) to 95% (77–100) after introducing a visual feedback device (P = .018). However, the students who did not achieve 80% of the ratio of full chest recoil remained significantly higher than in 2016 (1% in 2016, 49% in 2017, and 27% in 2018; P < .001).Conclusions:Although introducing a visual feedback device during CPR training resulted in increasing the ratio of full chest recoil while maintaining the adequacy of chest compression depth, 27% of the students still did not achieve 80% of the ratio of full chest recoil. Another educational strategy should be considered to increase the qualities of CPR more completely.

We have designed and built an electronic device which compares the resistance of a defined area of vacuum evaporated material with a variable resistor. When the two resistances are matched, the device automatically disconnects the primary side of the substrate transformer and stops further evaporation.This approach to controlled evaporation in conjunction with the modified guns and evaporation source permits reliably reproducible multiple Pt shadow films from a single Pt wrapped carbon point source. The reproducibility from consecutive C point sources is also reliable. Furthermore, the device we have developed permits us to select a predetermined resistance so that low contrast high-resolution shadows, heavy high contrast shadows, or any grade in between can be selected at will. The reproducibility and quality of results are demonstrated in Figures 1-4 which represent evaporations at various settings of the variable resistor.

The article discusses possible forms of educational STEM projects in the field of electronics and device control using Arduino controllers. As you know, the implementation of such STEM projects can be carried out not only using various electronic constructors, but also using virtual modeling environments. The knowledge obtained during modeling in virtual environments makes it possible to increase the efficiency of face-to-face practical training with a real constructor, and to improve the quality of students’ knowledge. The use of virtual modeling environments in combination with the use of real constructors provides links between distance and full-time learning. A real constructors can be used simultaneously by both the teacher and the student, jointly practicing the features of solving practical problems. The article provides examples of using a virtual environment for preliminary prototyping of circuits available in the documentation for electronic constructors, to familiarize students with the basics of designing and assembling electronic circuits using the surface mounting method and on a breadboard, as well as programming controllers on the Arduino platform that control electronic devices. This approach allows students to accelerate the assimilation of various interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of natural sciences using STEM design.

Boilerplate—the fine-print terms and conditions that we become subject to when we click “I agree” online, rent an apartment, or enter an employment contract, for example—pervades all aspects of our modern lives. On a daily basis, most of us accept boilerplate provisions without realizing that should a dispute arise about a purchased good or service, the nonnegotiable boilerplate terms can deprive us of our right to jury trial and relieve providers of responsibility for harm. Boilerplate is the first comprehensive treatment of the problems posed by the increasing use of these terms, demonstrating how their use has degraded traditional notions of consent, agreement, and contract, and sacrificed core rights whose loss threatens the democratic order. This book examines attempts to justify the use of boilerplate provisions by claiming either that recipients freely consent to them or that economic efficiency demands them, and it finds these justifications wanting. It argues that our courts, legislatures, and regulatory agencies have fallen short in their evaluation and oversight of the use of boilerplate clauses. To improve legal evaluation of boilerplate, the book offers a new analytical framework, one that takes into account the nature of the rights affected, the quality of the recipient's consent, and the extent of the use of these terms. It goes on to offer possibilities for new methods of boilerplate evaluation and control, and concludes by discussing positive steps that NGOs, legislators, regulators, courts, and scholars could take to bring about better practices.
