777 Changing Student Perceptions of Surgical Careers

Aim Increasing student interest in pursuing a surgical career at an undergraduate level. Background Data suggests that interest in surgical specialties may be declining, even from as early on as medical school. However, studies suggest that engagement with extra-curricular activities influences their likelihood to pursue surgical careers. Our study aimed to assess changes in student perception towards surgical careers following participation in a three-week surgical course. Method Students on placement at St Peter’s Hospital, Chertsey were invited to a course of 3 one-hour sessions covering practical surgical skills and lectures. Participants were tutored by Foundation-Year-Two doctors, with oversight of a surgical clinical teaching fellow and senior consultant. Students completed pre- and post-course surveys focusing on surgical interest, surgical skill confidence, placement-participation, and career preparation. The course was delivered through two cycles. Results Cycle one showed statistically significant improvements in suturing-confidence (mean increase 4.05 out of 10, p = 0.001), confidence in hand-ties (3.63 out of 10, p = 0.015) and understanding of developing a surgical portfolio (mean increase 1.95 out of 10, p = 0.005). After a second cycle, including the introduction of a surgical portfolio development lecture, students demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in mean scores across all areas. Notably, interest in pursuing a surgical career increased from mean 5.85/10 to 8.8/10 (p = 0.028). Conclusions We demonstrate that a short and easily accessible course can significantly improve student interest and understanding of a surgical career; equipping them with fundamental skills to pursue engagement at the undergraduate level.

Hot Turbine Guide Vane Performance Improvement With Metal Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Energy

Additive manufacturing (AM) of gas turbine components has been suggested as a measure to improve performance and create other value additions in several research papers. This paper focuses on application of AM for gas turbine performance improvement considering industrial scale of this activity at Siemens Energy. Efficient cooling designs, made possible by AM, are considered not only from the standpoint of cooling characteristics, but also inherent challenges, arising in the complete chain of manufacturing processes: from powder removal to coating. Practical limitations of cooling scheme complexity are discussed and the benefits of in-wall cooling, enabled by AM, are described. It is shown that thin cooled trailing edges, enabled by the AM, provide considerable reduction of losses. It is demonstrated that production challenges can be successfully overcome, and the components can be manufactured with the required quantity and according to the original design intent. The sequence and progress of AM components long-term validation in the field engines are discussed and illustrated with actual operation experience. The development of the AM vane was executed in line with the roadmap of AM portfolio development in Siemens Energy and supports the strategy of commercial validation and full commercial release of AM components..

Implementation Strategy of the Mutanaqishah Musyarakah Academic at Home Ownership Financing in Sharia Banks in Indonesia

This research aims to: (1) Knowing the obstacles faced in implementing the Mutanaqisah Musharaka Financing (2) The solutions taken to overcome these obstacles; and (3) the right strategy to apply musyarakah mutanaqisah financing. This study uses the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method and the assistance of Super Decision software. ANP is carried out in three stages, namely: first, in-depth interviews with Islamic banking experts and practitioners to identify the factors that influence the minimum amount of musyarakah mutanaqisah. Second, the results of the first step are used to create an ANP framework and a questionnaire addressed to Islamic banking experts and practitioners; and third, ANP analysis to determine the best priorities, solutions and strategies for implementing Musyarakah mutanaqisah financing in Islamic banking.The results showed that: (1) The constraints faced by Islamic banking in implementing Musyarakah Mutanaqisah financing for Islamic banking KPRS financing can be divided into two, namely internal and external problems. Internal problems stem from internal banking, banking human resources, and musyarakah mutanaqisah financing products. External problems originate from customers, authorities, and Islamic banks. The most priority problem faced is internal problems, namely human resources (HR) associated with low knowledge and skills about the MMQ contract. Meanwhile, the most dominant external problem is Islamic banking with a lack of insight into the MMQ contract. (2) The solutions given in determining the financing strategy for the musyarakah mutanaqisah are divided into two, namely internal and external solutions. The most priority solution comes from internal solutions, namely product solutions in the form of Islamic banking that must vary the contract, especially for the MMQ contract; and (3) The alternative with the most priority in determining the financing implementation strategy with the musyarakah mutanaqisah contract in Islamic banking is the Socialization and Education Program, followed by Contract Optimization, Portfolio Development, Image Strengthening, MMQ Segmentation Mapping, and MMQ financing market segmentation.

Assessment of E-Portfolio in Higher Education

The e-portfolio development and introduction are based on the fact that the reflective practice of its creation allows students to document and track learning, develop a coherent picture of experience, and improve self-understanding. The study took place at Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia); an assessment tool to design and develop electronic portfolios in the higher education system has been developed and tested in the study. A survey focused on the value of an electronic portfolio, which was positively assessed by the respondents, was conducted. The students participating in the study developed e-portfolios that described their reflections on the learning process and backed the arguments made with proof. The assessment showed that 60% of students should improve their cooperation skills while skills related to conceptualization and implementation, critical thinking and decision-making, assessment and modification, meta-cognition and progress should be developed in 44%, 33%, 52%, and 64% of students, respectively. The research results confirm that e-portfolios provide an appropriate platform for integrative learning that allows students to visualize the relationship between various concepts learned throughout the course and beyond.
