Purpose: This study sought to examine how preservice physical educators conceptualize and intend to use standards-based grading (SBG) after receiving a 1-hr workshop on implementing SBG into a physical education (PE) setting. Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the researchers utilized class reflection assignments, a perceptions survey, and interviews with 10 undergraduate physical educators at a Midwestern university. Findings: The SBG workshop positively influenced participants' views of the importance of PE, enhanced their attitudes toward organized and meaningful instructional planning, and shaped participants' perceived norms and level of control when implementing SBG in their future classrooms. Discussion/Conclusion: SBG provides a means for preservice physical educators to validate their field and area of study and to visualize the interconnectedness of teaching, learning, and assessment within PE.

If intentional, college students in campus jobs can develop professional skills valued in the post-college workforce. However, many students are not likely to realize the potential of their experience without advisement or instruction that teaches them how to reflect on experience and articulate its value, usually in the form of a resume or in an interview. This study examines the value of three workshops to help students reflect on their development of National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) career readiness competencies as a result of their library work experience. Survey and focus group data suggest students' confidence in their ability to articulate and apply their newly-developed skills increases when provided with a vocabulary of professional competencies and a reflective framework for evaluating their experience.

It is important that students across university disciplines and class years explore their attitudes about ageism, aging, and older adults. Yet few if any ageism interventions in academic settings are directed at business students, instead targeting disciplines such as health sciences. In this paper we offer requisite detail of ageism workshops we developed for use in an undergraduate entrepreneurship course, including discussion of our results. Business curricula at the university level can serve to reinforce age gaps through the study of functional areas such as marketing (target market segmentation) and finance (retirement planning). In entrepreneurship, stories of youthful startups persist despite recent findings that strongly reject the notion that youth is a key trait of successful entrepreneurs. In the context of workplace ageism, ageism interventions, and age in entrepreneurship, we modified the Disrupt Aging curriculum offered by A.A.R.P., which facilitates an examination of one's personal attitude about age and aging. Our twist was to focus the curriculum on entrepreneurship and have our students work in groups with an entrepreneur from the Baby Boom generation. This innovation to our curriculum provides promising evidence of effectiveness as measured in pre- and post-workshop attitudes about ageism and entrepreneurship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are several characteristics that can be used to identify Acheulean workshops. However, the direct flaking of raw-material outcrops can be an important step in Acheulean lithic production that is missing from the current trait list. Here, we define and introduce the first systematically documented evidence of what we refer to as ‘flake harvesting’ at Wonderboom in Gauteng, South Africa. The presence of flakes and cores from the excavated Acheulean deposit, with similar dimensions and in similar condition to those associated with the nearby flake-harvesting localities, indicate that the behaviour was associated with the Acheulean. We explain that collecting flakes in this manner is different from quarrying, and provide a recording protocol that can be applied to other localities. This could help to explore whether the behaviour has been missed previously, or whether it is a uniquely localised development. We provide a summary of Acheulean workshop traits reported by other researchers, demonstrating that several of these traits are present at Wonderboom, so that the site can now be thought of in terms of a workshop, amongst other things, and flake harvesting can be added to the list.

In the post-COVID-19 era, stakeholders, including policymakers, funders, and the public, are increasingly seeking for a cross-sectoral systems-based approach to health risks extending beyond conventional measures. Anchored on three health pillars -human, animal, and environmental- One Health offers a promising framework to effectively address this demand. While some nations have already implemented national One Health strategic plans, European countries, in general, are lagging behind the global agenda. On 22 February 2024, an initiative was launched in Austria toward addressing this gap, bringing together multiple sectors and disciplines, marking the initial step in creating a national One Health network. The workshop emphasized the importance of enhancing One Health education and addressed key topics, such as incorporating the environmental pillar of One Health as well as socio-economic and cultural drivers to further our understanding of outbreaks, and establishing trusted communication channels, including data sharing, between disciplines and sectors. Identified challenges encompassed the need for more funding of transdisciplinary research. Opportunities for advancement include initiating local One Health projects and showcasing their positive impacts. Moving forward, efforts will focus on establishing a mature and globally connected One Health framework in Austria and supporting the integration of One Health aspects into education curricula, research programs, and policies.

Data not only plays an essential role in traditional shopfloor management, but it is also becoming even more important in Industry 4.0, particularly due to the increasing possibilities offered by new digital and data technologies and developments. In this context, the literature often refers to digital shopfloor management, the next generation shopfloor or other evolutionary synonyms. This raises the question of how to differentiate the content of data-oriented shopfloor management from digital shopfloor management. This paper discusses the state of the art — in terms of both data and digital perspectives — using a systematic literature review. Due to the complexity of the topic, three different levels of consideration — technology, organisation and people — are examined and discussed. Existing conceptual approaches are analysed in terms of conclusions and research gaps. It was found that the area of technology, including dedicated applications, is very well represented and researched in the literature. In comparison, there are larger research gaps in the other areas of organisation and people, which could be a possible reason for the lack of implementation of digital shopfloor management in practice. There is also a lack of holistic approaches that consider all three levels simultaneously and provide an overarching concept of maturity as a guideline, as well as taking into account the increasing trend towards value stream orientation. Apart from the research gaps, this paper could also define the term data-oriented shopfloor management and distinguish it from digital shopfloor management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research data management has become an indispensable skill in modern neuroscience. Researchers can benefit from following good practices as well as from having proficiency in using particular software solutions. But as these domain-agnostic skills are commonly not included in domain-specific graduate education, community efforts increasingly provide early career scientists with opportunities for organised training and materials for self-study. Investing effort in user documentation and interacting with the user base can, in turn, help developers improve quality of their software. In this work, we detail and evaluate our multi-modal teaching approach to research data management in the DataLad ecosystem, both in general and with concrete software use. Spanning an online and printed handbook, a modular course suitable for in-person and virtual teaching, and a flexible collection of research data management tips in a knowledge base, our free and open source collection of training material has made research data management and software training available to various different stakeholders over the past five years.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a hands-on simulation-based course with emphasis on procedural techniques, clinical reasoning, and communication skills developed to improve junior Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) residents preparedness in managing otolaryngologic emergencies. METHODS: Junior OHNS residents and faculty from residency programs in California, Nevada, and Arizona participated in this workshop in 2020 and 2021. The stations featured airway management techniques, ultrasound-guided needle aspiration, nasoseptal hematoma evacuation, and facial fracture repair using various models and cadavers. Participants completed a pre-workshop survey, post-workshop survey, and 2-month follow-up survey that assessed resident anxiety and confidence in three OHNS emergency situations across knowledge, manual skills, and teamwork using a 5-point Likert scale. RESULTS: Pre-workshop surveys reported the least anxiety and most confidence in teamwork, but the most anxiety and least confidence in technical skills and knowledge related to foreign body retrieval and airway management. Immediately post-workshop participants reported significant reductions in anxiety and increases in confidence, largest in the manual skills domain, in foreign body retrieval (anxiety: -0.99, confidence: +0.95, p

Workshops or training sessions on medical writing and publishing exist worldwide. We aimed to evaluate published articles about such workshops and examine both the content and teaching strategies employed. We searched ISI Web of Science, Ovid EMBASE, ERIC, Ovid Medline, and the grey literature. We considered no language, geographical location, or time period limitations. We included randomized controlled trials, before–after studies, surveys, cohort studies, and program evaluation and development studies. We descriptively reported the results. Out of 222 articles that underwent a full-text review, 30 were deemed eligible. The educational sessions were sporadic, with researchers often developing their own content and methods. Fifteen articles reported teaching the standard structure of medical articles, ten articles reported on teaching optimal English language use for writing articles, nine articles discussed publication ethics issues, and three articles discussed publication strategies to enhance the chance of publication. Most reports lacked in-depth descriptions of the content and strategies used, and the approach to those topics was relatively superficial. Existing workshops have covered topics such as the standard structure of articles, publication ethics, techniques for improving publication rates, and how to use the English language. However, many other topics are left uncovered. The reports and practice of academic-teaching courses should be improved.

This article intends to highlight and reconstruct the relationships between humans (harvesters, woodworkers and master artisans) and non-humans (raw materials, tools, places, products, etc.) in the Barniz de Pasto mopa-mopa tradition. These relationships were lost when the focus came to be primarily on the objects, as happens in most popular art forms worldwide. This text is organised in ethnographic overviews: the home workshops of masters of Barniz de Pasto; woodworker workshops; montañas-selvas (Andean rainforest highlands) and mopa-mopa harvesters; until we reach the objects. Unlike a conventional article, it does not end with firm and immutable conclusions. Our reflections from our eleven years (2013–2024) of accompanying men and women artisans and collectors, during the process of including the traditional knowledge and techniques associated with Barniz de Pasto mopa-mopa as Intangible Cultural Heritage (patrimonialización) and its safeguarding, are always open for discussion.

Abstract Background Despite the numerous advantages of the nursing process, nursing students often struggle with utilizing this model. Therefore, studies suggest innovative teaching methods to address this issue. Teaching based on real clinical cases is considered a collaborative learning method that enhances students’ active learning for the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In this method, students can acquire sufficient knowledge about patient care by accessing authentic information. Objective The aim of the present study was to investigate the experiences of nursing students and faculty members regarding the implementation of nursing process educational workshops, based on real case studies. Design A qualitative descriptive study. Participants 9 Nursing students and 7 faculty members from the Isfahan School of Nursing and Midwifery who attended the workshops. Methods This qualitative descriptive study was conducted from 2021 to 2023. Data was collected through semi-structured individual and focus group interviews using a qualitative content analysis approach for data analysis. Results After analyzing the data, a theme titled “Breaking Taboos in the Nursing Process” was identified. This theme consists of four categories: “Strengthening the Cognitive Infrastructure for Accepting the Nursing Process,” “Enhancing the Applicability of the Nursing Process,” “Assisting in Positive Professional Identity,” and “Facilitating a Self-Directed Learning Platform.” Additionally, thirteen subcategories were obtained. Conclusion The data obtained from the present study showed that conducting nursing process educational workshops, where real clinical cases are discussed, analyzed, and criticized, increases critical thinking, learning motivation, and understanding of the necessity and importance of implementing the nursing process. Therefore, it is recommended that instructors utilize this innovative and effective teaching method for instructing the nursing process.

Abstract Background Oncological patients have high information needs that are often unmet. Patient versions of oncological clinical practice guidelines (PVG) translate clinical practice guidelines into laypersons’ language and might help to address patients’ information needs. Currently, 30 oncological PVG have been published in Germany and more are being developed. Following a large multi-phase project on oncological PVGs in Germany, recommendations to improve use and dissemination of PVG were adopted in a multi-stakeholder workshop. Methods Organisations representing users of PVGs (patients, medical personnel, and multipliers), creators, initiators/funding organisations of PVGs, and organisations with methodological expertise in the development of clinical practice guidelines or in patient health information were invited to participate. The workshop included a World Café for discussion of pre-selected recommendations and structured consensus procedure for of all recommendations. Recommendations with agreement of > 75% were approved, and in case of ≤ 75% agreement, recommendations were rejected. Results The workshop took place on 24th April 2023 in Cologne, Germany. Overall, 23 people from 24 organisations participated in the discussion. Of 35 suggested recommendations 28 recommendations reached consensus and were approved. The recommendations referred to the topics dissemination (N = 13), design and format (N = 7), (digital) links (N = 5), digitalisation (N = 4), up-to-dateness (N = 3), and use of the PVG in collaboration between healthcare providers and patients (N = 3). Conclusion The practical recommendations consider various perspectives and can help to improve use and dissemination of oncological PVG in Germany. The inclusion of different stakeholders could facilitate the transfer of the results into practice.

Based on BPS data in 2022, 23.05% of the total population of Central Java do not have ICT skill (technologically clueless). It is possible that Purwokerto Kulon is included in this percentage. To reduce the number of people who are technologically clueless in Purwokerto Kulon, a basic ICT (Information and Communication Technology) counseling was held and attended by several participants from the youth and adult age groups. The counseling method used was training in the form of workshop, while the counseling material was about the introduction of computer hardware, basic computer operations, and basic internet operations and their benefits. Based on the results of the pre-test, it was found that only about 20% of the total participants had ICT skill. After participating in counseling, the post-test results showed information that 100% of them came to know and have the ICT skill.

Objective To develop a teaching strategy which is suitable for training talents and improving teaching quality in field of clinical gynecological oncology. Methods Seventy-eight clinical students of grade 2020 in a medical university were divided into control group (n=38) and research group (n=40). The “3+2” teaching mode of team-based learning (TBL) and workshop (WS) were adopted, and the learning outcome was evaluated at preview preparation, knowledge application and the questionnaire survey of students, so as to promote the cultivation of clinical reasoning of medical students. Results Compared with traditional teaching method, TBL+WS teaching group had better academic performance.The difference of before class tests and final exams was more significant [17.53±6.15 points and (76.81±5.10)points, respectively, P＜0.001].However, among the eight dimensions of the classroom teaching questionnaire, the teaching quality dimension was the highest (97.5%). More students think that this model had a positive effect on cultivating clinical thinking and developing new knowledge. Conclusions This integrated teaching strategy improves the quality of obstetrics and gynecology teaching and suppots students' capacity building on clinical reasoning .

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and effective treatment option for various psychiatric disorders. However, its widespread use is limited by prevalent negative attitudes and stigma, not only within the general public but also among healthcare professionals. This study aimed to develop and validate a workshop-based educational module, titled the "Basic Course in ECT," for medical students. Methods: The curriculum development framework was used to develop the educational module. The content of the educational module was developed through expert consensus involving two rounds of the Delphi method. Faculty members provided feedback to validate the workshop content. A total 33 interns participated in the workshop. Student satisfaction was assessed using a feedback questionnaire. Results: Eight content areas were identified through a literature review. The Delphi consensus with 15 experts resulted in 10 topics being incorporated into the educational module. The module demonstrated strong face validity, as indicated by a content validity index of 1. Participants expressed high satisfaction with the workshop module regarding content, teaching methods, and time allocation. Feedback indicated an improvement in knowledge and a positive attitude toward ECT. Conclusions: The "Basic Course in ECT" was developed using expert consensus and validated for use with medical students. It can be integrated into the undergraduate curriculum.

The East African Society of Physiological Sciences (EASPS) identified many problems associated with the practice and impact of physiology training and graduates within the region. The EASPS, in conjunction with the African Association of Physiological Sciences (AAPS), resolved to tackle those identified problems in the region by organizing a regional conference in Tanzania between November 29, 2023, and December 1, 2023. The conference was successful with remarkable achievements, including production of Physiology Curriculum for African Universities (PhysioCAFUN); launching of the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS) African Physiology Mentoring Program; educational workshops on physiology teaching and skills acquisition; plenary sessions on various inspiring scientific topics for advancement of research capacities and current trends in physiological sciences; presentation of abstracts by authors and publishing of the abstracts as edited conference proceedings in the Journal of African Association of Physiological Sciences; presentation of awards to the top 10 abstracts and 7 other key Local Organizing Committee members and partners; first annual general meeting of the EASPS members; networking of participants within and beyond Africa; and recognition of the formation processes of national physiological societies in Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. NEW & NOTEWORTHY: The joint East African Society of Physiological Sciences (EASPS)-African Association of Physiological Sciences (AAPS) conference in Tanzania was a successful event where we launched the Physiology Curriculum for African Universities (PhysioCAFUN) and the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS) Physiology Mentoring Program in Africa. We also organized educational workshops on physiology functional tests that equipped participants with practical skills. Authors presented their peer-reviewed abstracts, which have now been published in the Journal of African Association of Physiological Sciences. Participants attended from 24 countries across Africa, Europe, Asia, and United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Outdoor painted sculptures (OPSs) are a regular feature of public spaces and private collections throughout the world. Their painted finishes can appear deceptively simple, but their esthetic is a subtle combination of color, texture, and reflectance, making them challenging to care for and repair. OPSs are exposed to direct sunlight, rain, wind, pollutants, human interactions, and biological debris from plants and animals. Conservation of these artworks is a matter of preserving an artist's esthetic intent, rather than the original paint system, which will inevitably need to be replaced. This paper discusses the development of the Getty Conservation Institute workshop Treatment Strategies for OPS, to develop skills in this specialized area of conservation. The full repainting of an artwork is expensive, laborious, logistically challenging, and includes the use of chemicals and processes with significant carbon footprints: improving the economic and environmental sustainability of these treatments has become imperative. The workshop teaches participants strategies that help stave off full repainting, such as working with specialized painters for lasting localized repairs, removing graffiti without altering the sculpture's finish, and creating regular maintenance programs that help prevent deterioration.

This article focuses on the development of a community of practice (CoP) for qualitative doctoral researchers at the University of Bath (UK). Although the sources of support that qualitative doctoral researchers can access have grown substantially across the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, and South Africa (e.g., supervisor meetings, discrete courses, and standalone workshops), they generally remain "disjointed," forcing qualitative doctoral researchers to individually navigate these "siloed" sources. In this article, we describe our solution to the problem—creating a doctoral CoP capable of "connecting the dots"—by drawing on 3 years of experience leading the CoP. We focus and reflect on our facilitation approach, session design, and challenges faced with the goal of sharing "best practice." [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Libraries have been pinpointed as a possible hub for information and safety during a crisis. We present a workshop design to contribute to the education of librarians with the goal to make them more able to provide inclusive and accessible information in a crisis. The workshop was carried out during a conference for librarians. The results from the workshop indicate that there is a need for further knowledge about methods and tools to make information accessible, as well as practical information about crisis preparedness. The workshop presented here could furthermore be improved upon by creating tailored personas and spending more time on the activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: It is estimated that only 6-10% of all adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are reported. Although India is participating in the pharmacovigilance program, its reporting is still in its initial stages. It is important to sensitize health-care professionals regarding ADR reporting and pharmacovigilance helping in better reporting. Educational interventions have been widely shown to be effective at improving the rate of ADR reporting among healthcare workers. Aims and Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to understand the knowledge of health-care professionals regarding ADR reporting and pharmacovigilance and also to know the effectiveness and outcome of the pharmacovigilance workshop. Materials and Methods: A retrospective audit of the data obtained from the workshops conducted on pharmacovigilance over 2 days in April 2023 was conducted after obtaining the requisite permission from the Institutional Ethics Committee. The workshops were conducted by the ADR monitoring center of Terna medical college, Nerul for the health-care professionals. A questionnaire consisting of 21 questions was used during the workshop for both pre-test and post-test. The questions tested the knowledge and attitude of health-care professionals. At the end of the session, feedback was taken regarding the workshop. The data were entered into Microsoft Excel and subjected to descriptive statistics. A paired t-test was done for the pre-test and post-test scores on Microsoft Excel. Results: In total, there were 67 participants in the workshop, 51 (76.12%) were nursing staff of different departments. Thirteen (19.4%) were duty medical officers, 1 (1.49%) was pharmacist and 2 (2.99%) were from pathology laboratory. A paired t-test was done for the pre-test and post-test marks of the participants, and the P-value was calculated to be 0.00000297 showing a statistically significant difference between the scores. About 92.53% agreed that it is important to report an ADR. About 71.64% agreed that reporting a known ADR still contributes to the system. Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrate that the attitude of health-care professionals is positive regarding reporting an ADR. The improvement of the knowledge of the professionals was good after the workshop. It also concludes that workshops on pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting are necessary to increase awareness among health-care professionals on pharmacovigilance. ADR reporting is important to reduce the morbidity associated with the use of medications. There is a necessity to conduct interventions in the form of more workshops regularly to improve ADR reporting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The French National Metrology Institute (LNE) initiated a series of events to identify priorities for test methods and their harmonisation that directly address regulatory needs in Nanomedicine. One of these workshops entitled "The International Standardisation Roadmap for Nanomedicine" held in October 2023 (Paris, France) brought together key experts in the characterisation of nanomedicines and medical products containing nanomaterials, including the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, SINTEF Industry and the metrology institutes of France, the UK, the USA and Canada, two flagship initiatives of the European Commission (PHOENIX and SAFE-n-MEDTECH Open Innovation Test Beds), representatives of a working party on mRNA vaccines at the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines (EDQM) and members of international standardisation and pre-normative organisations (including CEN, ISO, ASTM, VAMAS). Two take-home message came out from the discussion. First, developing standard test methods and Reference Materials (RMs) for nanomedicines is a key priority for the European Commission and various stakeholders. Furthermore, there was a unanimous recognition of the need for a unified approach between standardisation committees, regulators and the nanomedicine community. At the USA, Canadian and European level, examples of success stories and of future initiative have been discussed. Future perspectives include the creation of a dedicated Working Group under CEN/TC 352 to consolidate efforts and develop a nanomedicine standardisation roadmap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Motion management has become an integral part of radiation therapy. Multiple approaches to motion management have been reported in the literature. To allow the sharing of experiences on current practice and emerging technology, the University of Sydney and the New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory branch of the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM) held a two-day motion management workshop. To inform the workshop program, participants were invited to complete a survey prior to the workshop on current use of motion management techniques and their opinion on the effectiveness of each approach. A post-workshop survey was also conducted, designed to capture changes in opinion as a result of workshop participation. The online workshop was the most well attended ever hosted by the ACPSEM, with over 300 participants and a response to the pre-workshop survey was received from at least 60% of the radiation therapy centres in Australia and New Zealand. Motion management is extensively used in the region with use of deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) reported by 98% of centres for left-sided breast treatments and 91% for at least some right-sided breast treatments. Surface guided radiation therapy (SGRT) was the most popular session at the workshop and survey results showed that the use of SGRT is likely to increase. The workshop provided an excellent opportunity for the exchange of knowledge and experience, with most survey respondents indicating that their participation would lead to improvements in the quality of delivery of treatments at their centres.

Background: Patients undergoing orthognathic surgery may have limited information surrounding surgery. This leads to less satisfaction with surgical outcomes, anxiety surrounding surgery and difficulty following perioperative instructions. Solution: Providing a multi-disciplinary pre-operative educational experience for patients and caregivers improves surgical readiness and satisfaction. What is new: Our team provides a "Jaw Surgery Workshop" which includes lectures from providers, previous patients, cookbooks and supplies. This allows for improved confidence and expectations surrounding jaw surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Open Educational Resources (OERs) help instructors create innovative lessons and foster cost-effective and equitable access to educational materials. As more instructors turn to OERs to enhance their courses, there is a growing demand for the creation of more lesson plans. Methods: To increase the number of high-quality OERs in undergraduate biology and physics, the journal CourseSource introduced Writing Studios to assist educators in writing and publishing OERs. Over a period of 5 years, 188 attendees participated in one of 11 different Writing Studios in which they followed a scaffolded worksheet to help draft their OER and engaged in peer review with partners. Attendees completed surveys before and after participation, and we tracked whether or not they published their manuscripts. Results: We found that 38.8% of attendees shared their OERs through a CourseSource publication. Several characteristics predicted OER sharing through publication such as format of the workshop and attendee's type of institution. Participants also described a variety of supports and barriers that impacted their ability to publish as well as possible long-term supports that would help bring resources to publication. Discussion: This study highlights the importance of ongoing support and tailored strategies to facilitate the sharing of OERs. The findings can benefit instructors and professional development leaders who are committed to increasing the number of high-quality resources that are available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: Proficiency in medical writing and publishing is essential for medical researchers. Workshops can play a valuable role in addressing these issues. However, there is a lack of systematic summaries of evidence on the evaluation of their impacts. So, in this systematic review, we aimed to evaluate all articles published on the impact of such workshops worldwide. Methods: We searched Ovid EMBASE, Ovid Medline, ISI Web of Science, ERIC database, and grey literature with no language, time period, or geographical location limitations. Randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, before-after studies, surveys, and program evaluation and development studies were included. We performed a meta-analysis on data related to knowledge increase after the workshops and descriptively reported the evaluation of other articles that did not have sufficient data for a meta-analysis. All analyses were performed using Stata software, version 15.0. Results: Of 23 040 reports, 222 articles underwent full-text review, leading to 45 articles reporting the impacts of workshops. Overall, the reports on the impact of such workshops were incomplete or lacked the necessary precision to draw acceptable conclusions. The workshops were sporadic, and researchers used their own method of assessment. Meta-analyses of the impact on the knowledge showed that workshops could nonsignificantly increase the mean or percentage of participants' knowledge. Conclusion: In the absence of systematic academic courses on medical writing/publishing, workshops are conducted worldwide; however, reports on educational activities during such workshops, the methods of presentations, and their curricula are incomplete and vary. Their impact is not evaluated using standardized methods, and no valid and reliable measurement tools have been employed for these assessments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Software modelling and model-driven engineering (MDE) is traditionally studied from a technical perspective. However, one of the core motivations behind the use of software models is inherently human-centred. Models aim to enable practitioners to communicate about software designs, make software understandable, or make software easier to write through domain-specific modelling languages. Several recent studies challenge the idea that these aims can always be reached and indicate that human factors play a role in the success of MDE. However, there is an under-representation of research focusing on human factors in modelling. During a GI-Dagstuhl seminar, topics related to human factors in modelling were discussed by 26 expert participants from research and industry. In breakout groups, five topics were covered in depth, namely modelling human aspects, factors of modeller experience, diversity and inclusion in MDE, collaboration and MDE, and teaching human-aware MDE. We summarise our insights gained during the discussions on the five topics. We formulate research goals, questions, and propositions that support directing future initiatives towards an MDE community that is aware of and supportive of human factors and values.

Objectives Since 2015, the Harvard Workshop on Research Methods in Supportive Oncology has trained early-career investigators in skills to develop rigorous studies in supportive oncology. This study examines workshop evaluations over time in the context of two factors: longitudinal participant feedback and a switch from in-person to virtual format during the COVID pandemic. Methods We examined post-workshop evaluations for participants who attended the workshop from 2015 to 2021. We qualitatively analyzed evaluation free text responses on ways in which the workshop could be improved and "other comments." Potential areas of improvement were categorized and frequencies were compiled longitudinally. Differences in participants' ratings of the workshop and demographics between in-person and virtual formats were investigated with t -tests and Chi-square tests, respectively. Results 286 participants attended the workshop over 8 years. Participant ratings of the workshop remained consistently high without substantial variation across all years. Three main themes emerged from the "other comments" item: (1) sense of community; (2) passion and empowerment; and (3) value of protected time. Participants appeared to identify fewer areas for improvement over time. There were no significant differences in participant ratings or demographics between the in-person and virtual formats. Signifinace of results While the workshop has experienced changes over time, participant evaluations varied little. The core content and structure might have the greatest influence on participants' experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Diets, but also overall food environments, comprise a variety of significant factors with direct and indirect impacts on human health. Eco-Regions are geographical areas with a territorial approach to rural development, utilizing organic food and farming practices, and principles and promoting sustainable communities and food systems. However, so far, little attention has been given to quantifying aspects of the health of citizens living in these sustainable transition territories. The project "Indicators for Assessment of Health Effects of Consumption of Sustainable, Organic School Meals in Eco-Regions" (INSUM) aims to identify and discuss research approaches and indicators that could be applied to effectively measure the somatic, mental, and social health dimensions of citizens in Eco-Regions, linked to the intake of organic foods in their diets. In this paper, we focus on the somatic (physical) health dimension. A two-day workshop was held to discuss suitable methodology with an interdisciplinary, international group of experts. The results showed the limitations of commonly used tools for measuring dietary intake (e.g., relying on the memory of participants), and nutritional biomarkers (e.g., variations in correlations with specific intakes) for research understanding dietary intake and the health effects of diets. To investigate the complexity of this issue, the most suitable approach seems to be the combination of traditional markers of physical and mental health alongside emerging indicators such as the microbiome, nutrigenomics, metabolomics, or inflammatory biomarkers. Using new, digital, non-invasive, and wearable technologies to monitor indicators could complement future research. We conclude that future studies should adopt systemic, multidisciplinary approaches by combining not only indicators of somatic and mental health and social wellbeing (MHSW) but also considering the potential benefits of organic diets for health as well as aspects of sustainability connected to food environments.

Communities facing complex social and environmental challenges may benefit from opportunities for collaborative learning. Place-based climate adaptation workshops, which help stakeholders to incorporate climate projections into site-specific adaptation strategies, are one space where learning can occur. We studied learning in eight facilitated climate adaptation workshops held in-person (n = 2) and online (n = 6) in the United States between 2021 and 2023. Workshops averaged 24 participants and included state and local government employees, representatives from non-governmental organizations, interested citizens, academics, and others. We examined declarative, procedural, and relational learning and the processes through which knowledge was created and shared. We found evidence for learning across domains. Participants linked learning to a range of workshop elements, including collaborative workbooks, plenary presentations, and handouts. We found no meaningful differences between online and in-person workshops, suggesting that a range of workshop formats support meaningful learning. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications for understanding and fostering learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Implementation of biomarkers in sepsis and septic shock in emergency situations, remains highly challenging. This viewpoint arose from a public–private 3-day workshop aiming to facilitate the transition of sepsis biomarkers into clinical practice. The authors consist of international academic researchers and clinician-scientists and industry experts who gathered (i) to identify current obstacles impeding biomarker research in sepsis, (ii) to outline the important milestones of the critical path of biomarker development and (iii) to discuss novel avenues in biomarker discovery and implementation. To define more appropriately the potential place of biomarkers in sepsis, a better understanding of sepsis pathophysiology is mandatory, in particular the sepsis patient's trajectory from the early inflammatory onset to the late persisting immunosuppression phase. This time-varying host response urges to develop time-resolved test to characterize persistence of immunological dysfunctions. Furthermore, age-related difference has to be considered between adult and paediatric septic patients. In this context, numerous barriers to biomarker adoption in practice, such as lack of consensus about diagnostic performances, the absence of strict recommendations for sepsis biomarker development, cost and resources implications, methodological validation challenges or limited awareness and education have been identified. Biomarker-guided interventions for sepsis to identify patients that would benefit more from therapy, such as sTREM-1-guided Nangibotide treatment or Adrenomedullin-guided Enibarcimab treatment, appear promising but require further evaluation. Artificial intelligence also has great potential in the sepsis biomarker discovery field through capability to analyse high volume complex data and identify complex multiparametric patient endotypes or trajectories. To conclude, biomarker development in sepsis requires (i) a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach employing the most advanced analytical tools, (ii) the creation of a platform that collaboratively merges scientific and commercial needs and (iii) the support of an expedited regulatory approval process.

AbstractObjective: We aimed to share the post-workshop survey results of a pediatric pathology course held in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: Questionnaires were distributed to participants; responses from practicing pathologists and pathologists-in-training were analyzed. Results: The respondents (107 pathologists of 143 attendees) were predominantly female (83.2%) and 31–60 years of age (77.5%). Over half (71.7%) signed out pediatric and perinatal specimens but only a third (34.3%) were comfortable handling such cases. Most (70.0%) felt that their exposure to pediatric and perinatal cases during their training was inadequate. All respondents thought that the workshop was helpful, and would highly recommend it to their colleagues. Post-workshop, the respondents claimed expansion of differential diagnoses (49.5%) and better understanding of what to include in pathology reports (41.1%). Conclusions: Our experience affirms the need for subspecialty courses to address training gaps in developing countries. Post-workshop surveys are helpful in determining actionable deficiencies and effectiveness of outreach teachings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is an urgent need for transformational change in global and UK agriculture. Current practices undermine the long-term future of farming and impoverish ecosystems in the UK and elsewhere. However, change is not happening at the scale and pace which is needed. Work by David Abson, drawing on ideas by Donella Meadows, explored this failure of progress and proposed a research agenda focused on transformational leverage points which influence sustainability. These points are centred on three realms of leverage: reconnecting people to nature, restructuring institutions and rethinking how knowledge is created and used in pursuit of sustainability. In this paper, these ideas are explored through a combined researcher/stakeholder workshop focused on transformational change in UK livestock systems. Workshop participants were asked to discuss and identify potential levers of change under the three realms identified by Abson. The multiplicity of levers identified and the interactions across realms emphasise the need for new kinds of knowledge creation which are highly transdisciplinary, as well as emphasising the complexity of levers which are likely to play a role in the transformation of livestock food systems in the UK and elsewhere.

Introduction: Health issues faced by the Ngleses Village community predominantly affect toddlers, with stunting being a prevalent concern. Stunting is characterized by compromised physical growth, brain development, and cognitive abilities in children, where their height is incongruent with their age due to chronic nutritional problems, indicated by a z-score below -2 SD according to TB/U. One of the risk factors for stunting is inadequate nutritional intake. Delayed introduction of complementary feeding (MPASI) leads to insufficient provision of supplemental food required to bridge energy and nutritional gaps. Methods: The method employed involves educating pregnant mothers and mothers with toddlers about MPASI and demonstrating the preparation of several MPASI recipes. The target audience comprises 20 mothers of toddlers from Ngleses Village. The MPASI workshop aims to enhance the knowledge and understanding of mothers regarding complementary feeding. The utilized media include PowerPoint presentations and cooking demonstrations employing cooking utensils such as stoves, gas burners, pans, and ladles. The procedural implementation encompasses preparation, execution, evaluation, and analysis. Results and Discussion: During the implementation process, the 20 attending mothers from Ngleses Village exhibited a commendable level of attention and enthusiasm in engaging with the material presentation and cooking demonstration. Participants' comprehension levels improved, as observed by comparing post-test scores with pre-test scores. Furthermore, the program yielded six complementary feeding recipes accompanied by compiled basic selling prices, forming a recipe book. This book will be distributed to community health workers (kader) mothers as one of the program's tangible outcomes. Conclusion: It can be concluded that this educational initiative successfully achieved its formulated objectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Issue Addressed: People with a mental health condition are at risk of developing chronic physical disease due to smoking tobacco, inadequate nutrition, high alcohol consumption, low physical activity and poor sleep (SNAPS). Community managed organisations (CMOs) represent an opportune setting to support mental health consumers to improve their health behaviours through providing preventive care. Reporting of methods used to co‐develop implementation strategies to assist CMO staff to deliver preventive care for SNAPS are scarce yet warranted. Objectives: This study aims to: (1) describe a co‐development workshop involving CMO staff and researchers to identify preferred implementation support strategies to help staff routinely provide preventive care; (2) describe the strategies that emerged from the workshop; and (3) report staff ratings of the workshop on four co‐development principles. Methods: A three‐hour co‐development workshop was conducted on two occasions with staff of one CMO in New South Wales, Australia. Twenty staff participated in the workshops. Results: Participants generated and ranked a total of seven discrete implementation strategies within five categories (training, point of care prompts, guidelines, continuous quality improvement and consumer activation). Training for staff to have difficult conversations about behaviour change was ranked highest in both workshops. Participants rated the workshops positively across four co‐development principles. Conclusions: The co‐development workshop enabled implementation strategies to be developed within the context in which they were to be delivered and tested, potentially increasing their feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness and impact. So What?: Implementation strategies selected from the workshops will inform a pilot implementation support trial to assist CMO staff to provide preventive care to people with mental health conditions.

To develop a teaching strategy which is suitable for training talents and improving teaching quality in field of clinical gynecological oncology. Methods Seventy-eight clinical students of grade 2020 in a medical university were divided into control group (n=38) and research group (n=40). The "3+2" teaching mode of team-based learning (TBL) and workshop (WS) were adopted, and the learning outcome was evaluated at preview preparation, knowledge application and the questionnaire survey of students, so as to promote the cultivation of clinical reasoning of medical students. Results Compared with traditional teaching method, TBL+WS teaching group had better academic performance. The difference of before class tests and final exams was more significant [17.53±6. 15 points and (76.81±5.10) points, respectively, P<0.001]. However, among the eight dimensions of the classroom teaching questionnaire, the teaching quality dimension was the highest (97.5%). More students think that this model had a positive effect on cultivating clinical thinking and developing new knowledge. Conclusions This integrated teaching strategy improves the quality of obstetrics and gynecology teaching and suppots students' capacity building on clinical reasoning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The site is located in the lands of the village of Nadarevo and the village of Dalgach, Targovishte region. Its localization was done during field visits and borehole surveys conducted in 1992. Movable monuments and recorded stationary facilities establish the presence of manufacturing activity at this location. The site is synchronous and identical to the other two art metal centers - near the village of Novosel, Shumen Municipality and the village of Zlatar, Preslav Municipality, whose research was completed in 2009 and 2020. The initiation of such a systematic archaeological survey of the third center in the vicinity of Preslav would contribute to the clarification of the production activity during the period of the early Middle Ages, the scale of which is, without a doubt, the result of a purposeful and well-considered policy of the central authority. The results of the conducted geophysical survey of the production center near Nadarevo shows a detailed survey using the geomagnetic method, the results of which should be confirmed by the archaeological survey. As a research in these sectors, four foundations of furnaces were revealed, heavily destroyed by the mechanized cultivation of the terrain. The two ovens are small, clay-bild, and stand a meter apart and are located to the north of the stone oven. A total of 64 finds were found during the investigations, mostly of bronze and less of iron, as well as numerous melts, slags and drops of oxidized metal. Most of the objects were found outside the survey sectors, in the plowed layer, which is due to the disturbance of the terrain by the continuous mechanized cultivation of the terrain and the spreading of the material over it. Обектът се намира в землищата на с. Надарево и с. Дългач, област Търговище. Локализацията му е извършена при теренни изследвания и сондажни проучвания, проведени през 1992 г. Движими паметници и регистрирани недвижими съоръжения установяват наличието на производствена дейност на това място. Обектът е синхронен и идентичен с другите два центъра за художествен метал - край с. Новосел, община Шумен и с. Златар, община Велики Преслав, чиито проучвания приключиха през 2009 и 2020 г. Началото на подобно систематично археологическо проучване на трети център в околностите на Преслав би допринесъл за изясняване на производствената дейност през периода на ранното средновековие, чийто мащаб без съмнение е резултат от целенасочена и добре обмислена политика на централната власт. Резултатите от проведеното геофизично проучване на производствения център край Надарево показват детайлно проучване с геомагнитен метод, резултатите от което следва да бъдат потвърдени от археологическото проучване. При проучването в тези участъци са разкрити четири основи на пещи, силно разрушени от механизираната обработка на терена. Двете пещи са малки, глинени, на метър една от друга и са разположени северно от каменната пещ. При проучванията са открити общо 64 находки, предимно от бронз и по- малко от желязо, както и множество стопилки, шлаки и капки от окислен метал. Голяма част от обектите са открити извън проучваните сектори, в разорания пласт, което се дължи на нарушаването на терена от непрекъснатата механизирана обработка на терена и разстилането на материала върху него.
