Whether on or off campus, all students need support if they are to successfully complete their studies. Although 'good teachers' should be 'good teachers' in any medium, their support is especially important when technology is involved. Previous articles in the series have shown that the advent of ICT has added to the complexity of the type and provision of this help and advice, not least because it now involves technical as well as pedagogical and pastoral elements. However, rather than being a problem, ICT, particularly through its online facilities, can provide levels of support over and above those required by traditional face-to-face teaching. This has implications for tutors as well as students as it places greater pressure on their time and requires them to have a new skills-set, a situation that needs to be resolved if the full benefits of online support are to be realised.

First, Do No Harm (to the One You Train).
Linacre Q

Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.
Unlabelled: or "first, do no harm" is perhaps the most well-known aphorism in the culture of medical education. While its application to patients is well known, the injunction can also be read with medical trainees in mind. Teaching physicians have an obligation to recognize their role as moral teachers and coaches, who must consider "first, do no harm" not only when considering their patients but also when weighing the moral formation of their trainees, especially in a season in which medical educators are attempting to clarify the "harms" of medical training.

Butterflies are highly sensitive to climate change, and , as an endangered butterfly species, is also affected by these changes. To enhance the conservation of and effectively plan its protected areas, it is crucial to understand the potential impacts of climate change on its distribution. This study utilized a MaxEnt model in combination with ArcGIS technology to predict the global potential suitable habitats of under current and future climate conditions, using the species' distribution data and relevant environmental variables.

Micromachines (Basel)
December 2024
College of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Henan Normal University, Xinxiang 453600, China.
A novel common-aperture miniaturized antenna with wideband and dual-polarized characteristics is proposed, which consists of a circularly polarized (CP) and a linearly polarized (LP) antenna. The circularly polarized antenna stacked on the upper layer adopts asymmetrical ground and introduces the patch and T-type feed network. On this basis, the meshed reflector structure, which also works as a ground plane for the LP antenna, is added to reduce the influence on circular polarization and achieve directional radiation.

This study developed and refined the Judo Teachers' Attitudes Towards Including Participants with Intellectual Developmental Disorders (J-TAID) survey, addressing the need to assess attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention regarding inclusion, and grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior. The survey, translated into English, Portuguese, French, and Slovenian, was administered to 163 participants in order to assess its reliability and validity using Cronbach's alpha, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Internal consistency regarding attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral Constructs ranged from 0,79 to 0.
