Expertise in pediatric arrhythmia management is lacking in most low- and middle- income countries (LMIC). Strategies to disseminate education in pediatric electrophysiology are essential to meet this need. Children’s Heartbeat was created to meet the growing demand for pediatric electrophysiologic consultation in LMIC. Children’s Heartbeat is a virtual video-conferencing program that uses the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes model to disseminate knowledge about pediatric arrhythmia management from pediatric electrophysiologists to clinicians in medically under-resourced regions worldwide. Monthly virtual case-based sessions are held with pediatric electrophysiologists and clinicians in medically under-resourced settings to discuss pediatric electrophysiology management. Since its inception, Children’s Heartbeat viewership has grown exponentially to include 181 total registrants, 64 average monthly participants, and an additional 121 average viewers of recorded sessions. Attendees have expressed increased confidence in pediatric arrhythmia management. Children’s Heartbeat has successfully provided pediatric electrophysiology consultation to medically under-resourced regions globally and have increased clinicians’ confidence in caring for children with arrhythmias. Future directions include spreading the program to general pediatric and pediatric cardiology trainees and practicing pediatricians in rural parts of high-income countries and evaluating the direct impact of Children’s Heartbeat on the management of arrhythmias in pediatric patients in LMIC.

Many universities implemented pandemic-related tenure timeline extensions in response to productivity disruptions. However, little is known about the availability, nature, or uptake of these extensions, including which faculty were most likely to extend their timeline. Tenure-track faculty in the United States (n = 385, 64.4% women, 35.3% identifying with a National Institutes of Health-designated racial/ethnic minority group, 73.0% with children, 33.8% with non-child caregiving) completed a survey about their personal/career/institution characteristics, their institution's pandemic extension policy (if any), and whether they extended their timeline. Overall, 94.0% reported that their institutions provided either an extension, unless faculty opted out, or an extension that could be requested. Most respondents (60.0%) elected to extend their tenure timeline due to the pandemic. Significantly greater proportions of respondents taking an extension were men (77.2%), identified with a NIH-designated racial/ethnic minority group (75.7%), reported non-child caregiving (86.3%), and had previously taken at least one timeline extension (82.4%). Pandemic-related extensions in tenure and promotion dossiers will be common, though they may not fully account for more than a year of disruption and may exacerbate disparities. Consequently, effective preparation for evaluating dossiers and other mitigation strategies are needed, to prevent the loss of faculty members who offer great value to their institutions.

Background: This article analysis 400 articles published in “Bhartiya Krishi Anushandhan Patrika” journal during 2016-2021 to ascertain year-wise distribution, authorship pattern, length of articles, subject categories and citation-wise distribution of articles. Methods: Bibliometrics is a set of methods used to study and measure the uses of documents and patterns of publication in which mathematical and statistical methods are applied. Result: We found a total contribution of 400 research outputs with the remarkable contribution of 1477 eminent scholars. The findings of the analysis represented that the maximum number of articles 75 with 18.75% sharing were published in 2016 and on the opposite hand the year 2020 got the minimum contribution got with merely 54 (13.50%) publications. The result of the study proved that joint authors contributed (380) to the majority of the publications. The study investigated, the minimum contribution average author per article 3.97 in the year 2017 and a minimum of 3.33 in the year 2021. The highest author productivity per year is 1.624. Veterinary science got the first rank in the contribution of scientific research publication (97), agronomy ranked second with 71 articles and extension education achieved the third rank with 40 contributions. It is noted that the maximum citation (4379 out of 955) were used in the year 2021. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is aimed to problematize a discussion that took place during the first decade of the20th century about the need for mutualism to acquire a more scientific character. It has been shown that democratic mutualism was not articulated only on feelings such as solidarity or fraternity, but that at the same time, the multiple dimensions that it encompassed, such as health insurance, life insurance, education and extension, pensions and resistance, can only be understood as an expression of the social solidarity economy. In this sense, bureaucratic mutualism was aimed to more specific purposes, though during the research time was not the most important in Chile. The research has been essentially carried out from original documents found in the archives of the Directorate of Labor, in the National Archive of the Administration, Santiago, Chile.

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) face the ongoing problem of low pass rates. A number of MOOC learners engage in most or all course activities but fail to pass the course. To improve participation and thereby increase successful completion, this study explores the behavioural differences between certificate achievers and explorers that lead to their different learning outcomes. Eleven behaviours were extracted from more than 80,000 behaviour records for 215 certificate achievers and 456 explorers, which were categorized into four types of activities: graded assessment, content-related, course-related, and interactive activities. Random forest classifier, independent-sample t-testing, and lag sequential analysis were used. The results showed six important behaviours that are highly related to certificate achievement. Certificate achievers engaged in more course-related and graded assessment activities during the course, while explorers engaged in more content-related and interactive activities, and graded assessment activities occurring at the end of the course. Compared to explorers, certificate achievers exhibited more bidirectional behaviours in terms of interactive and course-related activities and more repeated behaviours in terms of course-related and graded assessment activities. The study has significant implications for MOOC learners and instructors in improving learning and teaching performance by implementing appropriate behavioural interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the advent of the Information Society, organizing and selecting knowledge has become essential to stand out and keep up with social trends and the market's innovation processes. The University, in this context, can be an essential actor from its tripod Teaching, Research, and Extension. In this sense, the motivation of this work is to present a Research Observatory, as an option for university extension, that is, an approach to society and the market. This article explains the concept of the Observatory as a space for diffusion and development, lists the essential premises for the reproduction of the model and presents the case study of the creation of the Research Observatory "Digital Older Person - Confronting ICT Illiteracy" in Brazil. As observed, the advantages of creating a Research Observatory range from the possibility of organizing information focused on the improvement and development of a theme to social transformation through information accessible to companies and individuals. The essential points for the enterprise's success are the unity of the multidisciplinary team, the focus for action, and the constant updating of the base using a planned schedule. Finally, the activity also provides an opportunity for the encounter between the University and society, fostering innovation and transforming reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Kansas State University and University of Missouri Extension educators have been providing training and information on agricultural water microbial quality to help produce growers reduce risk. However, we recognized the need to determine knowledge gaps among Kansas and Missouri growers related to agricultural water quality and best practices. A survey was developed to determine future extension outputs and activities to encourage growers to improve their practices related to water quality. The survey was distributed to Kansas and Missouri produce growers attending in-person or online produce-related events in late 2020 and early 2021 and was also distributed through email lists of produce growers from both states. Survey results (n = 101) indicate that 13.9% of the respondents tested their water for generic Escherichia coli more than once a year, whereas 38.6% of the participants had never tested their water. Approximately half (59.3%) of respondents indicated they used municipal water for postharvest uses, whereas 6.7% indicated the use of untreated surface water for postharvest activities. To address potential water contamination risks, researchers suggest that further training and educational resources would help growers improve practices related to water quality and produce safety.

Nitrogen (N) is one of the promising nutrients for lawn growth and is required for the lawn's proper growth and development, but it also increases mowing frequency. Glyphosate herbicide application in sub-doses, as a growth regulator, can reduce the maintenance costs without any adverse reduction in the density and nutritional status of grasses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influences of nitrogen and glyphosate doses on the growth, aesthetic quality and nutritional status of emerald grass (Zoysia japonica Steud.). The experiment was conducted at the Research and Extension Education Farm of São Paulo State University (UNESP), Ilha Solteira, SP, Brazil, in an Ultisol. The experiment was designed as a randomized block with 12 treatments arranged in a 3 × 4 factorial scheme with 4 replications, comprised of a control (without N), 15 and 30 g N m−2 of urea, applied in five splits annually, and glyphosate doses (0, 200, 400 and 600 g ha−1 of the active ingredient, a.i.). The split N fertilization at the rate of 15 g m−2 and glyphosate at the dose of 400 g ha−1 maintained nutritional status of emerald grass. Nitrogen at the rate 15 g N m−2 (in five splits per year) was observed to produce lower growth traits, an adequate aesthetic quality and longer stability of the nutrients in emerald grasses through lower exportation, with removal of "clipping" after mowing. In addition, glyphosate, at the dose of 400 g a.i. ha−1, was efficient in reducing the leaf area, plant height, shoot dry matter and total dry matter by 18.3, 14.7, 6.8 and 8.1%, respectively, as compared to the control. However, this dose did not impair the coloration and resulted in a lower exportation of nutrients by reducing the need to replenish by fertilization. Therefore, fertilization with 15 g N m−2, associated with application of 400 g a.i. ha−1 of glyphosate, is recommended for emerald grass in the tropical savannah of Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: COVID-19 pandemic caused significant modifications in education of trainees who are in medical speciality training programs. Limiting the number of residents in the clinics, cancelling elective surgical procedures, stopping face to face practical education, and transforming theoretical education into distance learning platforms resulted in alterations in the curriculum. Limited number of studies in the literature surveyed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on specialty training in various medical disciplines. Methods: We addressed to assess the situation of trainees' education using an online questionnaire from the trainees' and directors' perspective during the pandemic. The survey platform SurveyMonkey® was used to distribute the survey and to collect responses. We generated a list of multiple-choice questions about how social distancing affected the delivery of medical education, potential compromise in core training and difficulties in conducting clinical research for the thesis. Results: A total of 364 trainees among 552 (65.9%) under training at our university hospital and 90% of the directors (37 of 41) responded the survey. Almost 78 percent of the trainees claimed that they have been negatively affected during the pandemic. Although majority of the trainees (60.3%) reported that extension of their education program is not necessary, most of the program directors were in tendency of extending the duration of the speciality training period. The participants predominantly considered that online training would keep on being a part of the training program after the pandemic. Conclusion: Education programs are negatively affected during pandemics. However, authorities should manage this deficiency by a new perspective since present trainees are familiar to use technology-driven virtual sources for their education. After the pandemic, computer-assisted online learning and webbased programs should be integrated into educational curriculum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New social norms and significant civic challenges were both brought about by the information age. In this situation, the role of States in promoting public policy is critical, with education serving as a key tenet of the fundamental structure. To improve the practice of cybernetic citizenship in young pupils, we applied the playful pedagogical technique in an original extension project from a series of theoretical/practical lessons. The extensionist action creates a new social reality by bringing the knowledge learned at the university to the community. It is confident that the interdependence of research, teaching, and extension drives the production of knowledge as it forges a trusting relationship between academics and civil society in an effort to change citizens' realities.

The project "Audiovisual production and vital strategies" interwove art, life, academic research, and activism with decolonial feminist perspectives. It was carried out as part of an audiovisual laboratory with students from the Federal State University of Rio de Janeiro and Casa Nem, a squatters' settlement, cultural and educational project in Rio de Janeiro led by transgender people in situations of high social vulnerability. The audiovisual Lab was facilitated by a group of artists and educators, and the majority of project participants were Black people who identified as trans* or LGBTQIA+. We worked with critical and emancipatory pedagogies that allowed the impacts of each participants racialized and gendered life experiences to guide the entire creative processes. The project's creative processes were inspired by bodywork dynamics from the field of performance art, and focused on uncovering profound dialogues and depths in each participant's life narratives. In this essay, we reflect critically on aesthetic choices and modes of creation. Through our discussion of the images and processes as a whole, we discuss how reimagining the encounter between pedagogy and audiovisual production established new modes of mediating relationships inside and outside of the university, and connect these processes to broader questions of health promotion.

To identify the impacts of Covid-19 on the mental health of nursing professionals in scientific productions. This is an integrative review of the literature, carried out from July to August 2022 in the Virtual Health Library portal and in the Scientific Electronic Library Online database. Descriptors in Health Sciences were used, with the Boolean operator "AND": "Covid-19" AND "Mental Health" AND "Nursing professionals". Twenty-four studies were analysed. It was identified that the mental health of nursing professionals during the Covid-19 pandemic was impacted, presenting signs of fear, anxiety, depression, health problems, quality of life and professional performance. Attention strategies such as the psychological teleconsultation service, continuous attention channel, ethical-emotional support and university extension projects were evidenced. This study can support reception and follow-up strategies for these professionals according to their needs, with the aim of improving their quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study emerges from the role of the university professor who must assume as a component of the new approach of the university in Latin America of the XXI century, for which the objective of the investigation is to carry out a reflection on the ethical-social commitments, which derive from the profession to meet the demand of society. For this, the documentary review was used as a methodology, seeking the hermeneutic analysis with criteria of evaluative criticality. The teaching ethical values are exposed, as a reason for the modeling of the students and the communities themselves through the research and extension work of the university professor, which converges in the third mission of the university, in order to face the social and ethical commitment of teaching work, underpinned in two directions: transfer of knowledge, and contribution of the university to the defense of human rights, peace and democracy [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we evaluate the efficiency of extension programmes in the adoption of chemical fertilizers in Ethiopia between 1994 and 2004 using matching techniques in a quasi-experimental setting. In addition to common factors, measures of culture, proxied by ethnicity and religion, aim to control for potential tensions between extension agents and peasants. We find considerable impact of extension services on the first fertilizer adoption. Although, there are several exercises of evaluation of extension services policies, this paper manages to disentangle the policy treatment from other confounding effects for two reasons. Firstly, we focus on the first adoption decision to isolate the effect of new information provided by the extension service. Secondly, we restrict the sample to villages characterized by late adoption, id est villages where adoption had not occurred before and its appearance can be associated with the policy action with more certitude.
