Study Hypothesis

In this paper we discuss several established and potential animal models for human parasitic infection, with a focus on rodent, pig and primate models and the nematodes Ascaris, Trichuris and Toxocara spp. Firstly, we discuss the relevance of choosing a suitable animal host to fit the particular study hypothesis, and the interaction between mathematical modelling and animal models. Secondly, we review the use of animal models for the study of nutrition-parasite interaction, evaluation of treatment and control strategies, and bacteria-parasite interactions. We show that rodent, pig and primate models are all very useful in parasitological research, and that each model has its limitations. However, based on recent experience with the pig-Ascaris and pig-Trichuris models, a more extensive use of the pig-parasite model is advocated, especially for the study of the interaction between human malnutrition and helminth infection, and congenital helminth infection.

Abstract The authors report their recent experience in treating 80 patients with intracranial aneurysms. A total of 83 surgical procedures were performed with a surgical mortality of 4.8%. Fifty-six patients had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Total mortality for this group was 14.2% regardless of clinical grade. Early surgical intervention, meticulous preoperative monitoring, and control of circulatory dynamics were used to improve the perioperative morbidity and mortality rates. We believe that any major improvements in the outcome of patients with aneurysms will come from advances in perioperative management.

Design Experience

This study was conducted in order to examine the process by which teachers designed a website. For this purpose, www.weebly.com, which is used as a website building tool, was selected and teachers were given tasks for web designing. Experiments were designed differently for experiment and control groups. Before performing the tasks, an introduction video was shown to the experiment group. Then, interview questions about the contribution of introduction videos and usability of website were asked. According to the results, the group that watched the introduction video completed the tasks in a shorter time than the group who did not watch the videos. At the same time, the group who watched introduction videos before using the site was able to complete more tasks than the group that did not watch the videos. These results show that the use of introduction videos as a navigation facilitator enhances the usability.Keywords: Website design experience, teacher education, usability, eye tracking.*

Writing Practice

Abstract This preliminary research is as a part of learning need analysis for developing a discourse based writing material with a timed-writing technique in an English teacher education department in Indonesia. In timed writing practice (TWP), students must write a paragraph on a sheet of paper without help in a given time limit. However, no empirical information on whether the students agree or disagree with the application of timed writing and the reasons behind their perceptions is not yet avaiable.The research subjects consist of 31 students who take writing course. The objectives are to investigate (1) the extent of the students’ acceptance and (2) the reasons behind the acceptance on the application of timed-writing practice (TWP) in writing class. A qualitative analysis is administered by identifying and classifying contents of students’ opinions and reflections expressed in the students’ responses to questionare. Twenty five students (81%) agree with the application of TW. Four students (13%) disagree and 2 students (6%) give no preference. Timed writing are perceived as (1) Encouraging Writing Activity,  (2) Improving Time Management and Control, (3) Training Thinking Skills, (4) Improving Writing Skills, (5)Training Speed Writing, (6) Improving Soft Skills, (7) Giving Challenging Activity, and (8) Improving Concentration and Accuracy.  The reasons from those who disagree are: (1) Feeling nervous and confused (2) Having insufficient preparation time, and (3) Expecting Variation of Activity. In conclusion, timed writing is mostly accepted and positively perceived by the students with very high category. Reasons from those who disagree must also be taken into consideration for future betterment. Based on the research findings, the timed writing, accordingly, can be used as a technique or a strategy to be integrated in a discourse-based writing material for students of English teacher education program.Key Words: Timed-Writing, Students’ Acceptance, Reasons

A Mega Mass-Casualty Event (MMCE) is a unique and exceptional event, that results in a very large number of casualties (500–5000) needing emergency care in the prehospital and hospital settings. This type of event usually goes beyond the capabilities of a certain region and requires reinforcement of resources from adjacent and remote regions. Due to its exceptional nature, a MMCE dictates a different organization of all emergency services and agencies involved. As a result of the recent experience, and in order to adequately prepare for such future events, a novel MMCE doctrine was developed by a committee of diverse emergency professionals. This doctrine was transferred to guidelines referring to MMCE recognition and the following series of actions that need to taken at all levels. It holds organizational, operational, and clinical aspects, as well as command and control elements. In November 2009, a large-scale drill of 1,000 mock casualties was performed in order to validate and evaluate the MMCE plan. This drill emphasized the need for the involvement of all pertinent emergency services and agencies, and their optimal collaboration and coordination, subjected to regional and national headquarters' command and control. In addition, the need for dedicated educational programs and o-going training was recognized. It was accepted that adequate planning is obligatory for better outcomes in the future.
