Background: Process mining with educational data has made use of various algorithms for model discovery, principally Alpha Miner, Heuristic Miner, and Evolutionary Tree Miner. In this study we propose the implementation of a new algorithm for educational data called Inductive Miner.
Method: We used data from the interactions of 101 university students in a course given over one semester on the Moodle 2.0 platform. Data was extracted from the platform's event logs; following preprocessing, the mining was carried out on 21,629 events to discover what models the various algorithms produced and to compare their fitness, precision, simplicity and generalization.
Results: The Inductive Miner algorithm produced the best results in the tests on this dataset, especially for fitness, which is the most important criterion in terms of model discovery. In addition, when we weighted the various metrics according to their importance, Inductive Miner continued to produce the best results.
Conclusions: Inductive Miner is a new algorithm which, in addition to producing better results than other algorithms using our dataset, also provides valid models which can be interpreted in educational terms.

Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, University of Pattimura, Ambon, Indonesia.
Coastal cinnabar mining commenced in 2010 around Luhu on Seram (Ceram) Island, Indonesia. This study investigates the ore characteristics and environmental distribution and bioavailability of mercury in coastal sediments from eight sites adjacent to, and north and south of the mining area. Sediment and ore samples were digested using 1:3 HNO:HCl for total extractable metal determination and separate samples were extracted with 1.

Background: The relationship between the nurse and the patient with mental health disorder is crucial to the recovery process. Thus, patients with mental health disorders should be active subjects in this relationship by having autonomy and self-determination.
Methods: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of adult patients with mental health disorders on the relationship with nurses.

Department of Surgery, Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island. Electronic address:
Objective: Determine whether use of reflective questions asked on a twice monthly basis is a useful addition to our intern wellness curriculum, with a goal of longitudinal development. Prior studies have demonstrated the use of reflection in processing educational experiences toward professional growth at both the medical student and resident level.
Design: During the first year, every 2 weeks, the 13 interns were asked and answered 2 reflective prompts by email.
Development of Cu application using dual-energy computed tomography for detecting medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, 7-5-1, Kusunoki-Cho, Chuo-Ku, Kobe, 650-0017, Japan.
Introduction: The present study developed an application using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) focused on Cu for detecting medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).
Materials And Methods: First, we performed two types of phantom studies using a Cu wire syringe and pig mandible with Cu wire to detect Cu on DECT. Second, DECT examinations of 44 patients with MRONJ were performed to compare lesion and normal bone sites using single-energy CT, DECT-virtual non-calcium (VNCa), and DECT-Cu applications.
