Published: August 2002

A patient education programme applying problem-based learning (PBL) was developed for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Groups with 6-8 patients and a tutor from the rehabilitation team met nine times for 1.5h each. The feasibility and validity of the model was evaluated using patient questionnaires, interviews with tutors and video observations of tutorials. The participants were active (69% of all input) and discussions of acquired knowledge and lifestyle changes took place in all groups. A total of 89% of the patients reported implementation of lifestyle changes and over 90% rated their learning and overall experience of the programme as acceptable or high and the demands as acceptable. Shortcomings were the limited use of some of the steps in the problem-solving process and tutors' difficulties in adapting to their new role; their answering of questions was higher than planned (35% of their total input). The programme was feasible in clinical routine.

Introduction: Healthcare provider burnout is highly prevalent and has negative consequences. However, many healthcare workers in LMICs, including Nepal, rarely recognize or ameliorate it. This problem is worse in rural settings.

Background: Educational research highlights active approaches to learning are more effective in knowledge retention and problem-solving. It has long been acknowledged that adapting to more active ways of learning form part of the challenge for new university students as the pedagogical distance between the didactical approach largely followed by secondary school systems the world over differs quite significantly from the often more student-led, critical approach taken by universities. University students encounter various learning challenges, particularly during the transition from secondary school to university.

Microgrid systems have evolved based on renewable energies including wind, solar, and hydrogen to make the satisfaction of loads far from the main grid more flexible and controllable using both island- and grid-connected modes. Albeit microgrids can gain beneficial results in cost and energy schedules once operating in grid-connected mode, such systems are vulnerable to malicious attacks from the viewpoint of cybersecurity. With this in mind, this paper explores a novel advanced attack model named the false transferred data injection (FTDI) attack aiming to manipulatively alter the power flowing from the microgrid to the upstream grid to raise voltage usability probability.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to annotate unlabeled target domain samples using transferable knowledge learned from the labeled source domain. Optimal transport (OT) is a widely adopted probability metric in transfer learning for quantifying domain discrepancy. However, many existing OT-based UDA methods usually employ an entropic regularization term to solve the OT optimization problem, inevitably resulting in a biased estimation of domain discrepancy.

Aims: Crises in the operating room, often resulting from human factors, endangers patient safety. Simulation-based training to develop non-technical skills shows promise in managing these crises. This review examines the simulation techniques, targeted healthcare professionals, non-technical skills, crisis scenarios, and evaluation metrics used in operating room crisis management training.
