In order to effectively investigate the current professional status of biology special post teachers in the southern of Henan Province (Southern Henan), this study used the method of interviews and questionnaires to investigate and analyze the current situation of biology special post teachers in Southern Henan from the aspects of vocational training and professional identity. The results showed that: (1) Satisfaction with vocational training is still acceptable, all of them can participate in certain training, but the training policy and system need to be improved, the level of training is limited, the training opportunities are not balanced, and the training time and content need to be optimized. (2) Career identity is generally satisfactory, proud, respected and enthusiastic in teaching. It can promote the growth and development of students, but the suggestions of special post teachers have not been adopted in time. In view of the above findings, this paper puts forward some countermeasures for the professional development of biology special post teachers in Southern Henan, in order to provide theoretical basis for the follow-up study on the professional aspects of biology special post teachers, and also provide important information for the professional development of rural special post teachers.

O presente artigo apresenta um estudo oriundo de uma pesquisa-intervenção sobre um Programa Híbrido de Mentoria (PHM). O objetivo deste estudo é identificar e analisar indícios da constituição da identidade profissional de mentoras iniciantes, revelados por meio de narrativas escritas (diários de mentoria, memoriais e narrativas autoavaliativas) e orais (entrevista) que foram realizadas ao longo de uma formação inicial de mentores e no início da fase de acompanhamento de professores iniciantes. As narrativas foram analisadas com base na metodologia compreensiva-interpretativa e tendo como ponto de partida que a constituição da identidade de mentor é caracterizada por um processo complexo que engloba suas trajetórias pessoais e profissionais, suas compreensões sobre a mentoria, o como se sente mentor, o contexto de atuação, os desafios, tensões e incertezas vividos no exercício desta atividade. Essas narrativas revelaram: i) a motivação das mentoras (suas trajetórias profissionais e o desejo de contribuir com o desenvolvimento profissional de professores iniciantes); ii) as compreensões das mentoras sobre a função de mentoria. Evidenciando as representações e identificações que as mentoras apresentam sobre seu papel na mentoria e o reconhecimento que constroem sobre fazer parte deste grupo.Palavras-chave: Formação de professores; Mentoria; Identidade de mentor.Beginner mentors: marks of the constitution of professional identity revealed in narrativesAbstractThe present article presents a study from an intervention-research on a Hybrid Mentoring Program (HMP).

Telepractice is an increasingly popular service delivery model for serving individuals with communication disorders, particularly infants and toddlers who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) served under Part C Early Intervention programs (Behl, Houston, & Stredler-Brown, 2012). Recent studies have demonstrated that telepractice is effective for providing children who are DHH and their families with access to high quality early intervention services (Behl et al., 2016; Blaiser, Behl, Callow-Heusser, & White, 2013). While telepractice has grown in popularity, there continues to be a lack of formalized training opportunities to help providers become more familiar with telepractice (Behl & Kahn, 2015). This paper outlines online training courses for providers, families, and administrators of programs for children who are DHH. Recommendations for follow up training and staff support are included.

Background: Tendon injuries are commonly seen in sports medicine practice. Many elite players involved in high-impact activities develop patellar tendinopathy (PT) symptoms. Of them, a small percentage will develop refractory PT and need to undergo surgery. In some of these patients, surgery does not resolve these symptoms. Purpose: To report the clinical results in a cohort of athletes who underwent further surgery after failure of primary surgery for PT. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A total of 22 athletes who had undergone revision surgery for failed surgical management of PT were enrolled in the present study. Symptom severity was assessed through the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment Scale for Patellar Tendinopathy (VISA-P) upon admission and at the final follow-up. Time to return to training, time to return to competition, and complications were also recorded. Results: The mean age of the athletes was 25.4 years, and the mean symptom duration from the index intervention was 15.3 months. At a mean follow-up of 30.0 ± 4.9 months, the VISA-P score improved 27.8 points ( P < .0001). The patients returned to training within a mean of 9.2 months. Fifteen patients (68.2%) returned to competition within a mean of 11.6 months. Of these 15 patients, a further 2 had decreased their performance, and 2 more had abandoned sports participation by the final follow-up. The overall rate of complications was 18.2%. One patient (4.5%) had a further revision procedure. Conclusion: Revision surgery was feasible and effective in patients in whom PT symptoms persisted after previous surgery for PT, achieving a statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement of the VISA-P score as well as an acceptable rate of return to sport at a follow-up of 30 months.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Pursuing a profession is an indispensable component of human happiness. The aim of this study was to analyze patients′ professional, socio-economic and psychological outcomes besides their neuro-oncological and functional evaluation after awake surgery for gliomas in eloquent areas. METHODS The neuro-oncological and functional outcomes of patients with gliomas other than glioblastoma undergoing awake surgery during a period of 5 years were prospectively assessed within our routine oncological follow-up. Repercussions of the disease on their professional status, socio-economic situation, and neurocognitive function were evaluated retrospectively with structured interviews. RESULTS We analyzed data of 37 patients with gliomas (3 WHO Grade I, 6 WHO grade II, 28 WHO grade III). Gross total and subtotal tumor resections were performed in 20 (54.1%) and 11 (29.7%) patients, respectively, whereas in 7 patients (16.2%) resection had to remain partial. Median follow up was 24.1 months (range: 5–61 months). 31 patients (83.8%) had stable disease, 2 (5.4%) patients suffered from tumor progression and 4 (10.8%) patients died. Prior to surgery, all but one patient were employed. At the time of analysis, 24 (72.7%) of 33 alive patients had resumed their profession. 5 patients (15.2%) were on incapacity pension, 2 patients were on sick leave, and 2 had retired. The median time until return to work following surgery was 5.9 ±4.6 months. Young age (< 40 years) was the only factor statistically significantly associated with the ability to return to work (p< 0.001). CONCLUSION Despite brain tumor surgery in eloquent regions, the majority of patients with WHO grade II or III gliomas are able to return to work. Employing awake techniques in order to preserve neurological function is of utmost relevance for individual patients′ quality of life and may also decrease the economic burden due to work loss frequently encountered in glioma patients.
