Research focusing on blended learning for foundations of nursing courses is limited. The purpose of this study was to compare course performance outcomes when teaching foundations using blended learning compared to face-to-face instruction and to evaluate learner satisfaction and perceptions of effectiveness regarding blended learning. No significant differences were found in exam or final course grades between the two modalities. Most participants perceived blended learning as effective in meeting the course objectives and rated the course as either excellent, very good, or good. Blended learning was a useful strategy for teaching foundations of nursing.

Development of an Analytical Model for Predicting the Shear Viscosity of Polypropylene Compounds.

Polymers (Basel)

January 2025

Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) in Industry and Craft, RWTH Aachen University, Seffenter Weg 201, 52074 Aachen, Germany.

The need for an efficient adaptation of existing polypropylene (PP) formulations or the creation of new formulations has become increasingly important in various industries. Variations in viscosity resulting from changes in raw materials, fillers, and additives can have a significant impact on the processing and quality of PP products. This study presents the development of an analytical model designed to predict the shear viscosity of complex PP blends.

Beet crops are highly vulnerable to pest infestations throughout their growth cycle, which significantly affects crop development and yield. Timely and accurate pest identification is crucial for implementing effective control measures. Current pest detection tasks face two primary challenges: first, pests frequently blend into their environment due to similar colors, making it difficult to capture distinguishing features in the field; second, pest images exhibit scale variations under different viewing angles, lighting conditions, and distances, which complicates the detection process.

Background: There exists no standardized longitudinal curriculum for teaching bedside ultrasonography (US) in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) fellowship programs. Given the importance of mastering bedside US in clinical practice, we developed an integrated year-long US curriculum for first-year PCCM fellows.

Methods: 11 first-year PCCM fellows completed the entire seven-step Blended Learning Curriculum.

The new maintenance engineers become self-taught and learn from daily dedication, from solving repetitive problems, from exchanging experiences with a colleague, from reading a recommended book and little else. Their own experience has been the main reference for maintenance professionals who have not given up and have become experts. And within the maintenance activities, sanitary engineering plays a very important role.
