Aim: To understand the impact of anticancer treatment on oncology patients’ ability to use electronic solutions for completing patient-reported outcomes (ePRO). Materials & methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven individuals who had experienced a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Results: Participants reported that the following would impact the ability to interact with an ePRO solution: peripheral neuropathy of the hands (4/7), fatigue and/or concentration and memory issues (6/7), where they are in a treatment cycle (5/7). Approaches to improve usability included: larger, well-spaced buttons to deal with finger numbness, the ability to pause a survey and complete at a later point and presenting the recall period with every question to reduce reliance on memory. Conclusion: Symptoms associated with cancers and anticancer treatments can impact the use of technologies. The recommendations for optimizing the electronic implementation of patient-reported outcome instruments in this population provides the potential to improve data quality in oncology trials and places patient needs at the forefront to ensure ‘fit-for-purpose’ solutions.

Race Ethnicity

We investigate diversity in urban planning education by analyzing the gender and race/ethnicity of authors who are assigned on reading lists for urban sustainability courses. Using a sample of 772 readings from thirty-two syllabi, we find that assigned authors are even less diverse than planning faculty. Female authors account for 28 percent of assigned readings on the syllabi, and authors of color for 20 percent. Wide variation between courses suggests that a paucity of potential readings is not the main constraint. We urge instructors to revisit or “decolonize” their course syllabi and think critically about whose voices students are taught to hear.

Introductory Classes

This study examined the number of assignments in 502 course syllabi collected from 18 women's colleges and 18 matched coeducational colleges. The number of assignments was significantly higher at women's colleges, at colleges with lower selectivity for admissions, and in introductory classes. Significant differences among the four disciplines examined (psychology, mathematics, English, and art history) were found. Three of the factors (gender, discipline, and level) interacted. The most prominent difference was that, in introductory courses with quantitative and scientific content (psychology and mathematics), women's colleges required many more assignments than coeducational colleges. The effect of institutional selectivity was smaller than these three effects and appeared to be additive rather than interactive. The number of term-long assignments was not significantly different. Women's colleges, however, had more short-term assignments and tests than coeducational institutions. The results are related to the historic mission of inclusion of nontraditional students at women's colleges.

Traditional Roles

The paper discusses the didactic advantages and features of the use of such immersive technologies as “virtualconstructor” in the practical training of BSc students (training area 35.03.04 “Agricultural Engineering”) for the domestic farmindustry. VR-constructors are software products that fully emulate a virtual environment with a 360° view, the distinctive featureof which is to maximize the possibilities for interacting with virtual objects in terms of their study, movement and transformationof the object system. As applied to the training of agricultural engineers such systems of virtual objects can be represented by properlydesigned training mechanisms of engines, various irrigation systems in hydroponic installations or a specifi c soil profi le with itsindividual horizons. The authors conducted analysis of scientifi c literature, refl ecting the practice of the application of virtualreality technology to be used in the training of university students. The study has revealed the lack of precedents comprehensiveintroduction of VR technology as an eff ective learning tool in higher agricultural education in Russia and abroad. After conductingthe experiment based on a number of expert assessment methods, two VR software products of the “VR-constructor” type wereidentifi ed, which are recommended for implementation in course syllabi for BSc training in agricultural engineering in: “3D-cardfi le of soil sections” and “VR-atlas of agricultural machinery”. The study of the teaching capabilities of these curricula has statedthe need to change the traditional roles of the teacher and the student and the necessity for further scientifi cally-based introductionof university course syllabi of various levels to train more competitive and highly qualifi ed personnel for the innovative agriculture of Russia.

Different Time Scales

We revisit the model of the laser with feedback and the minimal nonlinearity leading to chaos. Although the model has its origin in laser physics, with peculiarities related to the [Formula: see text] laser, it belongs to the class of the three-dimensional paradigmatic nonlinear oscillator models giving chaos. The proposed model contains three key nonlinearities, two of which are of the type [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the fast and slow variables. The third one is of the type [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is an intermediate feedback variable. We analytically demonstrate that it is essential for producing chaos via local or global homoclinic bifurcations. Its electronic implementation in the range of kilo Hertz region confirms its potential in describing phenomena evolving on different time scales.
