Author analyses the concept and methods of distance education. The definition of distance education consist of geographic separation of the learner and the teacher, the high level of educational organisation, the use of modern technology for communication with interactivity. Before the widespread use of electronic communications for teaching and learning, the conventional method for distance education was the books and postal service. Since the mid 1980's the attention shifted to the computer technology and computer networks the internet is radically different with previous electronic media. Pfaffenberger estimated in 1994, that by 1998 about 100 million people would have access to the Internet. The web servers gives a multimedia environment, which potencially can provide a truely integrated teaching and learning system to educators worldwide.

Background: In Germany, digital transformation and legal regulations are leading to the need to integrate digital technologies into the nursing profession. In addition, to nursing practice, they are also being incorporated into nursing training. Despite comprehensive regulations regarding the use of digital teaching and learning media in nursing education, their specific applicability and implementation vary.

Background: Governing bodies of graduate medical education recommend conducting interviews virtually. Although most programs remain compliant with this guidance, it is unclear if this is broadly supported by interviewees. Virtual interview (VI), in-person interview (IPI), and virtual interview with an optional in-person visit (VI+) formats have unique strengths and weaknesses.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of positive surgical margins (PSMs) between different races and sexes in a national cohort.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we analyzed the association between race and sex disparities and the incidence of PSMs based on data from the 2004-2016 National Cancer Database (NCDB). The NCDB includes deidentified data collected from over 1500 hospitals as part of the Commission on Cancer approvals program and represents over 70% of new cancer cases in the United States.
The development of deep convolutional generative adversarial network to synthesize odontocetes' clicks.

Odontocetes are capable of dynamically changing their echolocation clicks to efficiently detect targets, and learning their clicking strategy can facilitate the design of man-made detecting signals. In this study, we developed deep convolutional generative adversarial networks guided by an acoustic feature vector (AF-DCGANs) to synthesize narrowband clicks of the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides sunameri) and broadband clicks of the bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). The average short-time objective intelligibility (STOI), spectral correlation coefficient (Spe-CORR), waveform correlation coefficient (Wave-CORR), and dynamic time warping distance (DTW-Distance) of the synthetic clicks were 0.

The COVID-19 pandemic had immediate impact on nursing students enrolled in postgraduate and post-registration nursing courses. Some students were required to undertake additional clinical hours and place their studies on hold, while others had clinical experiences and face-to-face classes suspended, with online learning modes quickly mobilized. While there have been many reports on the impact and experience of these changes on undergraduate students, limited reports have focused on challenges for nursing students who were registered for practice following completion of their undergraduate studies, and were enrolled in higher degree, postgraduate education programs.
