Background: It is essential to increase the knowledge base of teachers involved in facilitating return to learning in middle school students following a concussion. However, the best method to enhance the transfer of learning for teachers remains to be elucidated. Application of Adult Learning Theory (ALT) is a plausible solution to this problem.
Purpose: The purpose of this randomized post-test study was to examine the effects of ALT on the transfer of learning in teachers who work with individuals with concussion.
Methods: A convenience sample of 169 teachers at four middle schools were randomized to receive an in-service regarding concussion management either in ALT or traditional lecture format. Vignettes approximating classroom practice evaluated learning transfer.
Results: one-way between subjects ANOVA revealed no significant difference between the methods of educational delivery on group assessment scores (p = .22). Additionally, a regression analysis did not identify any demographic variables that predicted learning transfer (p = .65). A statistically significant difference existed for four questions (1, 4, 7, 25) between the groups (p = .03, .02, .01, .00, respectively). These vignettes were those that assessed information that was likely novel to the learner.
Discussion: The current study demonstrated that ALT applied to teacher in-service did not impact transfer of learning immediately post training compared to a traditional lecture format. Future research should continue to examine the effects of various educational strategies to enhance learning transfer for teachers managing students in the classroom after concussion.

The high thermopower of ionic thermoelectric (-TE) materials holds promise for miniaturized waste-heat recovery devices and thermal sensors. However, progress is hampered by laborious trial-and-error experimentations, which lack theoretical underpinning. Herein, by introducing the simplified molecular-input line-entry system, we have addressed the challenge posed by the inconsistency of -TE material types, and present a machine learning model that evaluates the Seebeck coefficient with an of 0.

Objectives: In the general hospital wards, machine learning (ML)-based early warning systems (EWSs) can identify patients at risk of deterioration to facilitate rescue interventions. We assess subpopulation performance of a ML-based EWS on medical and surgical adult patients admitted to general hospital wards.
Materials And Methods: We assessed the scores of an EWS integrated into the electronic health record and calculated every 15 minutes to predict a composite adverse event (AE): all-cause mortality, transfer to intensive care, cardiac arrest, or rapid response team evaluation.
Machine learning approaches including deep learning models have shown promising performance in the automatic detection of Parkinson's disease. These approaches rely on different types of data with voice recordings being the most used due to the convenient and non-invasive nature of data acquisition. Our group has successfully developed a novel approach that uses convolutional neural network with transfer learning to analyze spectrogram images of the sustained vowel /a/ to identify people with Parkinson's disease.

While deep learning (DL) is used in patients' outcome predictions, the insufficiency of patient samples limits the accuracy. In this study, we investigated how transfer learning (TL) alleviates the small sample size problem. A 2-step TL framework was constructed for a difficult task: predicting the response of the drug temozolomide (TMZ) in glioblastoma (GBM) cell cultures.

Algorithmic estimations of dementia status are widely used in public health and epidemiological research, however, inadequate algorithm performance across racial/ethnic groups has been a barrier. We present improvements in the accuracy of group-specific "probable dementia" estimation using a transfer learning approach. Transfer learning involves combining models trained on a large "source" dataset with imprecise outcome assessments, alongside models trained on a smaller "target" dataset with high-quality outcome assessments.
