PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS TRAINING FOR THE FORMATION OF SUBJECT-SUBJECT EDUCATIONAL RELATIONS WITH STUDENTS

The article, based on the methodological and theoretical analysis of scientific works, deals with the essence and specifics of professional training of pre-service teachers to form subject-subject educational relationships with students.It was found that the main tendency of study the willingness of the pre-service teacher to form subject-subject relations is to define their training as a holistic complex multilevel personal development. It is established that the integrity of the professional training of pre-service teachers in the development of the educational relationships should be considered in the unity of interdependent and interdependent components: scientific-theoretical, methodological and practical-activity.Criteria and indicators of future teacher’s willingness to form subject-subject relations with students are defined and systematized: critical type of thinking (personal flexibility, knowledge of the specifics of humane interaction, educational position in relations with students); creative and professional activity (knowledge of technologies of humane education, demonstration of own pedagogical skill, use of system of methods of pedagogical and psychotherapeutic influence); formation of practical skills and abilities (reflexive-perceptual skills, diagnostic skills, ability to create educational situations, skills of dialogical-humane communication).

Constraints Faced by the Farm Based Agri-Input Enterpreneurs in Central Telangana Region

In a situation when farmers’ suicide and distress sell still remain the key issues in India’s Agricultural scenario, we are dreaming of achieving a double income for the farming community. This gap in the income level of farmers can only be bridged by adopting newer income generating opportunities like establishing Farm based enterprises. Farm based enterprises are the vehicles for transforming rural India, these enterprises are maintained by the agripreneurs and this are the people enthusiastically more interestedly established units in agriculture especially in rural areas. Main aim of my research is to knowing about the constraints faced by the farm based agri input entrepreneurs and their impact on rural people especially on farmers of the area. The research investigation was conducted in Central Telangana region of Sanga Reddy district it consists of three revenue divisions namely Zahirabad, Narayanakhed and Sanga Reddy. From each revenue division Nine blocks were selected purposively using simple random sampling method thus making up a total of 26 blocks. From out of 26 Blocks each block 09 respondents interviewed and collected data with help of specially designed interview schedule it constitutes a total of 234 farm based agri-input entrepreneurs. The exploratory research design was used for the study. the objective to know the problems experienced by the Farm based Agripreneurs to start and run the farm-based enterprises. Constraints of agripreneurs stated that inadequate field diagnostic skills, lack of seed availability and storage facilities, high transportation costs, lack of financial facilities etc. are major Constraints faced by the farm based agri input entrepreneurs.

Numerical Simulation and Parametric Analysis of Fatigue Crack in UIC60 Rail Thermite Welded Joint

The mechanism of rail-wheel contact is the most essential field of study in railway engineering since it requires extensive application expertise, diagnostic skills, and a trustworthy analysis technique. In this research the fatigue life of a UIC60 rail AT weld under vertical load and its parametric effect has been studied, and for that a three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element model is created using ANSYS space-claim software, and then finite element method is employed to analyse the full-scale model of wheel-track and weld system with realistic three-dimensional solution. Model assembly components include axle, wheel, and thermite-welded rail. Simulation of contact between wheel and UIC60 rail weld with crack on weld at angles of 30 and 60 degrees with different coefficients of friction between the weld wheel contact and between crack surfaces was carried out under vertical loadings. In general, the Hertz contact theory assumptions are taken into consideration throughout the analysis, and the impacts on fatigue life are given by using damage mechanics method. The results of the wheel/weld fatigue crack analysis have been displayed to demonstrate the influence of different parameters on the fatigue life of cracks. The purpose of this study is to identify and safeguard the rail against failure, as well as to ensure the safety of passengers and to reduce the cost of maintaining the rail system.

Identifying important skills and competencies needed for new Florida agriculture extension agents

The onboarding needs of Extension agents is a topic continuously discussed and researched, yet overwhelmed agents persist, suggesting that there is a missing link. We undertook a study to determine the competency training needs of newly hired agricultural agents in Florida. Two assessments were performed. First to identify main agriculture skills and competencies for new agriculture Extension. Those competencies where then classified into main domains and interviewees were asked to rank in order of importance in each group. Data were collected via an online survey of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Extension agents working under the agriculture program area. Agents needed training in specific agricultural competencies related to every-day work activities such as soil sampling, diagnostic skills, educational resource utilization, and relationship building. Although we assume that, based on job requirements, newly hired agents will enter Extension with such knowledge, results suggest an agriculture specific training is needed to meet the onboarding needs of new agents. Our study identified the priority needs for developing an onboarding program that establishes a level of standard knowledge. Those findings will serve to enhance onboarding training for new Extension professionals.

EP.FRI.925 Time to look back at NASBO 2017. Have we learned any lessons from NASBO trial in treating patients with small bowel obstruction?

Introduction SBO is a common surgical presentation but despite advancements in surgical and diagnostic skills, patient’s outcome remains poor. SBO need multidisciplinary approach and needs careful decision making at each step of its management. There were no standard protocols to treat these patients until NASBO report 2017 1, with guidelines for step-wise approach to diagnose, treat and follow up patients presenting with SBO. Aims This study is an assessment of our local services to evaluate if we are compatible to NASBO guidelines and what we need to do to improve patient outcomes. Study design A retrospective observational cohort study was done in a busy emergency surgery unit in North West with highest rate of emergency laparotomy (NELA 2019)2, on patients presented with proven SBO during year 2018. Methods Clinical, nutritional and radiological assessment, conservative or operative management, clinical outcomes and complications were compared to the national data from 131 hospitals reported in NASBO 2017. Results 136 patients (median age 72) with 59% patients treated with non-operative approach while 41% had surgery (almost half of them were treated conservatively initially). Imaging and nutritional assessment and complication rate were well within the target range. HDU admission rate was 16% and 30-day mortality was 8% of which 3% were treated palliatively for malignancy and severe comorbidities. Conclusions Our results are similar in clinical performance and management when compared to national average. Certain areas like laparoscopic approach, ERAS, nutritional assessment and elective HDU/ITU admissions have been identified as areas to improve.

Cultural adaptation, the 3-month efficacy of visual art training on observational and diagnostic skills among nursing students, and satisfaction among students and staff- a mixed method study

Background Visual art training is a student-led approach using Western art pieces as the main teaching resources. It has been developed and applied in nursing and medical education in the United States. This study aimed to adapt visual art training to Chinese cultural context, then to compare the efficacy of the culturally-tailored visual art training versus traditional education on observational and diagnostic skills at 3-month follow-up among Chinese nursing students in master program. Methods This study included Phase 1 (cultural adaptation) and Phase 2 (3-month efficacy evaluation). It was conducted from June to September, 2019. In Phase 1, cultural barriers were identified and cultural adaptation strategy were made based on two focus group interviews. Phase 2 was a randomized controlled trial in a local museum. A total of 106 first-year nursing students in master program were randomized to the intervention group or the control group. Both groups received traditional education. In addition, intervention group received a visual art training (including a field-guided museum visit with observation and debriefing of Chinese oil paintings and clinical images, four teaching hours). Data were collected for both groups at baseline and 3-month follow-up on the observational and diagnostic skills measured by clinical image tests. Learning satisfaction with the visual art training was investigated among 53 intervention students and teaching satisfaction was done in 10 staff members by self-administered questionnaires. Results In phase 1, we adapted a culturally-tailored visual art training for nursing students in China. Observational skills of the intervention group increased significantly compared with the control group 3 months after the training (p < .001). A trend towards the improvement of diagnostic skills was indicated with increment of 2.92 points of the intervention group vs. 0.39 of the control group (p > .05). In general, all participants and staff were satisfied with the visual art training, especially the selected Chinese oil paintings and the student-led teaching process, but 34% (n = 18) were not satisfied with the long distance from the museum. Conclusions A culturally-tailored visual art training with great acceptability and feasibility was implemented in China. It had a sustained positive effect on improving the observational skills of Chinese nursing students. This study can be used for a reference to introduce visual art training to nursing students or nurses from other cultures. Trial registration Retrospectively registered in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000037956) on 4th September, 2020.

Are the Reasons Why Patients Are Referred for an Orthodontic Visit Correct?

Who does refer patients for an orthodontic consultation? Which are the main reasons for the referral? Does the visit of the orthodontic specialist confirm these reasons or reveal undiagnosed problems? Is there the risk that only evident dental problems are addressed, while craniofacial malformations remain underdiagnosed? This cross-sectional epidemiologic study aims to answer these questions, analysing the clinical data collected during the orthodontic visits of 500 Caucasian young patients referred to a public health structure of northern Italy. All patients were visited by the same expert specialist in orthodontics. Clinical data were collected, analysing both dental and skeletal features. The reasons for the referral of the visit were analysed and compared with the specialistic diagnoses. In our sample, dentists, relatives/friends and paediatricians were the major source of the referrals, followed by family doctors and other facial specialists. In most cases, the reasons for the referral were dental irregularities, but approximately 80% of dental irregularities were associated with undiagnosed facial dysmorphism. Skeletal facial anomalies need an early diagnosis to prevent the development of severe facial malformations that would require invasive and expensive treatments. These findings reveal poor diagnostic skills regarding skeletal anomalies in dentists and paediatricians and the need for better specific training.
