The Field Trip for Measured Survey of Built Heritage carried out by Tianjin University every summer aims to educate students in each practice session, i.e., on-site data acquisition, condition investigation, classification of the component library, taking observation notes, and accomplishing HBIM deliverables. Under the risks posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the students could not leave the campus as a provisional arrangement. Only a team of five people was allowed to visit the Kuiwen Pavilion in the Temple of Confucius (Qufu, China). Therefore, the field trip for students had to be replaced with remote solutions, which consists of the following methods: on-site data acquisition; post-processing; online education, observation, modeling, delivery. Kuiwen Pavilion in the Temple of Confucius is a library with the official architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (14th to 20th century), for which building regulations are commonly recognized, and are suitable for survey education. In this context, this article focuses on the remote practice methods applied and tested throughout the case study. During the practice of the course, students who managed to finish the course, through the virtual tours and other online methods, finally achieved delivery of the HBIM models.

Microteaching is a compulsory subject taken by students of program study PG PAUD semester VI. The purpose of this activity is to improve understanding and basic skills of teaching PAUD students in Microteaching classes using drill and practice methods. The research method used in this research is Classroom Action Research, there are 4 stages in this activity, namely: planning, action, observation and reflection. The data collection technique used an observation technique using an observation sheet related to eight basic teaching skills and the data analysis technique used was descriptive qualitative. The results of this research in the practice session of cycle II there was an increase in almost all female students who succeeded and were able to apply the eight basic teaching skills in their teaching practice, only a few who had not succeeded because they could not control time, were still nervous and this could be overcome with a lot of work practice, and still having difficulty in choosing the right language and easy to understand for early childhood. Recommendations from this research are aimed at educational stakeholders where this increase occurs because of the training process (practice) that occurs repeatedly and the evaluation or reflection of each student who appears, there are real and direct examples of being able to develop every aspect of basic teaching skills in each student.

Background: Infantile colic is characterized by prolonged periods of inconsolable, incessant crying and persistent fussing in an otherwise healthy infant. It is a self-limiting condition, but causes significant stress to mothers. AIM: To observe the role of Lactobacillus reuteriDSM 17938 in reducing crying time in colicky infants in routine clinical practice. Methods: This was a prospective observational multicentric clinic-based study. Each practitioner included approximately 30 infants < 5 months of age with infantile colic who were prescribed L. reuteri DSM 17938 for a period of 21 days. There were four physical consultations and two telephonic consultations. The parents were given a daily diary to record the duration of crying and fussing episodes and a questionnaire was administered during the consultations. Results: A total of 120 infants with a mean age of 56.9 ± 34.2 days were included in this 28-day study. The mean crying time as reported by the parents in the subject diary reduced from 248.2 ± 101.2 min, 95% CI: 229.45, 266.94 at baseline to 45.6 ± 79.1 min 95% CI: 31.02, 60.31 at study end (P < 0.01). The clinical response (defined as reduction of 50% in crying time) was observed in 85% of subjects at study end. The fussiness and parental perception of colic recorded during the consultations were reduced by 66% and 72%, respectively, at study end. The maternal depression scores were reduced to 63% at study end. Conclusion: L. reuteri DSM 17938 was associated with a significant reduction in crying time in colicky infants, and showed improvement in maternal depression.

Background: Intermittent auscultation (IA) was the main method of foetal monitoring in Nigeria, with the pinard stethoscope more in use than the hand-held Doppler. Aim of the study to produce a guideline on IA, conduct an audit on its use and to give a recommendation for future practice. Methods: A mixed-method design-observational-descriptive, review and an audit carried out in tertiary centres in Rivers State, Nigeria. The WHO 2018, FIGO 2015 and other guidelines on IA were reviewed. Good practice points were extracted from the literatures and used to produce a guideline. 17 review criteria for the audit were chosen from the guideline and used to test 150 doctors, midwives and nurses. Data were analysed with Epi. info 2020. Results: A guideline on IA was created. Out of the 150 participants, correct answers to the questions were given as follows: foetal movements over the preceding 24 hours before IA,  determination of  foetal lie, assessment of presentation and position before IA and identification of point of application of foetal stethoscope on maternal abdomen by 121 (80.67%), 17 (11.33%) and 34 (22.67%) respectively; frequency of IA in the antenatal period, duration of IA and maternal pulse palpation during IA for 13-98 (8.67-65.33%), 121 (80%) and 0 (0%) respectively; in labour, questions on timing of IA, ruling out hypoxia in early labour,  determination of the baseline FHR  and recording of the findings on IA for 61-130 (40.67-86.67%); interval and duration of IA and management of abnormal findings in the antenatal period and in labour, interval and duration of IA at 2-18 (1.33-12%).Conclusions: The performance of IA by obstetric practitioners was poor; that may account for some of the wrong management plan in the antenatal and intra-partum periods. A quarterly or yearly drills on IA were therefore recommended.

Generative models are frequently used for de novo design in drug discovery projects to propose new molecules. However, the question of whether or not the generated molecules can be synthesized is not systematically taken into account during generation, even though being able to synthesize the generated molecules is a fundamental requirement for such methods to be useful in practice. Methods have been developed to estimate molecule synthesizability, but, so far, there is no consensus on whether or not a molecule is synthesizable. In this paper we introduce the Retro-Score (RScore), which computes a synthetic feasibility score of molecules by performing a full retrosynthetic analysis through our data-driven synthetic planning software Spaya, and its dedicated API: Spaya-API (https://spaya.ai). After a comparison of RScore with other synthetic scores from the literature, we describe a pipeline to generate molecules that validate a list of targets while still being easy to synthesize. We further this idea by performing experiments comparing molecular generator outputs across a range of constraints and conditions. We show that the RScore can be learned by a Neural Network, which leads to a new score: RSPred. We demonstrate that using the RScore or RSPred as a constraint during molecular generation enables to obtain more synthesizable solutions, with higher diversity. The open-source Python code containing all the scores and the experiments can be found on https://github.com/iktos/generation-under-synthetic- constraint.

Background Migrants are underrepresented in population health surveys. Offering translated survey instruments has been shown to increase migrant representation. While ‘team translation’ represents current best practice, there are relatively few published examples describing how it has been implemented. The purpose of this paper is to document the process, results and lessons from a project to translate an English-language sexual health and blood-borne virus survey into Khmer, Karen, Vietnamese and Traditional Chinese. Methods The approach to translation was based on the TRAPD (Translation, Review, Adjudication, Pretesting, and Documentation) model. The English-language survey was sent to two accredited, independent translators. At least one bilingual person was chosen to review and compare the translations and preferred translations were selected through consensus. Agreed translations were pretested with small samples of individuals fluent in the survey language and further revisions made. Results Of the 51 survey questions, only nine resulted in identical independent translations in at least one language. Material differences between the translations related to: (1) the translation of technical terms and medical terminology (e.g. HIV); (2) variations in dialect; and (3) differences in cultural understandings of survey concepts (e.g. committed relationships). Conclusion Survey translation is time-consuming and costly and, as a result, deviations from TRAPD ‘best practice’ occurred. It is not possible to determine whether closer adherence to TRAPD ‘best practice’ would have improved the quality of the resulting translations. However, our study does demonstrate that even adaptations of the TRAPD method can identify issues that may not have been apparent had non-team-based or single-round translation approaches been adopted. Given the dearth of clear empirical evidence about the most accurate and feasible method of undertaking translations, we encourage future researchers to follow our example of making translation data publicly available to enhance transparency and enable critical appraisal.

ABSTRAKiTahun 2018, di Palembang banyak berdiri toko ritel modern khususnya yang berada di bawah koperasi Syariah 212. Ada 20 toko yang berdiri pada tahun tersebut dan tersebar di dalam kota Palembang dan beberapa toko di luar kota Palembang. Hal ini tentu dibutuhkan pekerja layanan yang memahami bagaimana pengelolaan barang ritel hususnya pelabelan kemasan produk pangan yang sesuai dengan peraturan yang berlaku. Kurangnya pemahaman dari pekerja layanan mengakibatkan banyaknya keluhan konsumen. Tentu ini sangat merugikan baik pihak pemilik toko maupun konsumennya. Kegiatan bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman para pengelola ritel modern terhadap pelabelan pada kemasan produk. Kegiatan edukasiidiikuti oleh para pengelola toko yang terdiri dari pelayan, kasir, supervisor dan kepala toko  ritel modern 212 yang ada di kota Palembang dan sekitarnya. Kegiatan dilakukan dengan metode ceramah, diskusi dan praktek  di toko ritel. Materi yang diberikan meliputi seluruh informasi yang terdapat dalam kemasan produk pangan, sesuai dengan peraturan badan pengawas obat dan makanan nomor 31 tahun 2018 tentang label pangan olahan. Pengetahuan peserta meningkat secara signifikan setelah diberikan pembelajaran. Kata kunci: edukasi; pelebelan; ritel ABSTRACT2018, there are many modern retail stores n Palem In 2018, there were many modern retail stores in Palembang, especially those under the Sharia 212 cooperative. There were 20 stores that were established that year and spread across the city of Palembang and several shops outside the city of Palembang. This of course requires service workers who understand how to manage retail goods, especially labeling food product packaging in accordance with applicable regulations. Lack of understanding from service workers resulted in many consumer complaints. Of course this is very detrimental to both shop owners and consumers. The activity aims to increase the understanding of modern retail managers on labeling on product packaging. Educational activities were followed by store managers consisting of waiters, cashiers, supervisors and heads of modern retail stores 212 in the city of Palembang and its surroundings. Activities are carried out using lecture, discussion and practice methods in retail stores. The material provided includes all information contained in food product packaging, in accordance with the regulation of the drug and food regulatory agency number 31 of 2018 concerning processed food labels.
