AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated student opinions on the effectiveness of online teaching during and after the pandemic, particularly in the Faculty of Dentistry.
- A questionnaire was sent out to evaluate student perceptions, and 208 responses were analyzed, revealing demographic diversity among the participants.
- The results indicated that while most students preferred traditional teaching methods, a significant portion found online lectures helpful as a supplementary tool rather than a complete replacement for in-person learning.
Article Abstract
Background And Aims: This study aimed to assess the students' opinion about the efficiency of online teaching and also about the methods and features to be implemented even after this pandemic period would pass.
Methods: A questionnaire was formulated in order to evaluate the students' perception about the teaching methods used by the Faculty of Dentistry, which was distributed through email.
Results: The answers of 208 students were analyzed. There were 157 women and 51 men, 119 were from Cluj County, while 89 were from other Romanian counties; 102 of the students were in the 4 year of study, while 62 were still in the preclinical years (1, 2, 3), and the rest of 44 of the subjects, were in the 5 or 6 year of study. 85.8% of the respondents were satisfied with the traditional lectures, 51.7% considered that online lectures were more useful than the traditional. 187 (88.6%) of the students were satisfied with the traditional practical activities, while 37 (16.1%) believed that online activities were more useful to them, 111 (52.6%), believed that they were able to communicate better with the teacher during the online lectures.
Conclusions: Overall positive responses were reported regarding the acceptability and usability of online learning. The students viewed online learning helpful as a supplement to their learning rather than a replacement for traditional teaching methods.

Background: The Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) initiative seeks to improve care for older adults through assessing and acting on the 4Ms (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, Mobility). The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) joined the initiative in 2020, and from 2022 to 2023, VA led its first Age-Friendly Action Community, a 7-month online educational series to teach clinicians about implementing the 4Ms across VA care settings.
Methods: The VA Action Community was designed to spread awareness about Age-Friendly care for older Veterans, improve interprofessional team knowledge for providing care guided by the 4Ms, and support AFHS implementation across multiple care settings.
Effect of a Narrative-Based Online Course Aimed at Reducing Stigma Toward Transgender Children and Adolescents: Longitudinal Observational Study.

Background: Stigma toward transgender children and adolescents negatively impacts their health and educational outcomes. Contact with members of stigmatized groups can dismantle stereotypes and reduce stigma by facilitating exposure to the unique cognitive and emotional perspectives of individuals within the group. Recent evidence suggests that video-based contact interventions can be as effective as face-to-face encounters, but challenges lie in protecting the identities of transgender youth, since many of them live in stealth.

Motivation: Accurate prediction of protein side-chain conformations is necessary to understand protein folding, protein-protein interactions and facilitate de novo protein design.
Results: Here we apply torsional flow matching and equivariant graph attention to develop FlowPacker, a fast and performant model to predict protein side-chain conformations conditioned on the protein sequence and backbone. We show that FlowPacker outperforms previous state-of-the-art baselines across most metrics with improved runtime.
Exploring the use of immersive simulation to teach research skills to student paramedics in higher education: A mixed methods approach.

Objectives: Within paramedic education immersive simulation is widely used to teach technical skills, but its application to non-technical aspects of practice, such as research skills, is limited. This study aimed to explore immersive simulation as a tool to teach specific research skills to paramedic students in higher education to investigate its novel capacity beyond the more traditionally considered technical elements of practice.
Methods: A didactic pre-briefing was delivered to undergraduate paramedic students before they undertook an immersive simulation in which they were expected to assess, extricate, and treat a stroke patient, whilst also assessing whether he was suitable to be enrolled onto a clinical trial, provide information on this, and take consent.
