Reconstruction of zygomatic complex defects is a surgical challenge, owing to the accurate restoration of structural symmetry as well as facial projection. Generally, there are many available techniques for zygomatic reconstruction, but they hardly achieve aesthetic and functional properties. To our knowledge, there is no such study on zygomatic titanium bone reconstruction, which involves the complete steps from patient computed tomography scan to the fabrication of titanium zygomatic implant and evaluation of implant accuracy. The objective of this study is to propose an integrated system methodology for the reconstruction of complex zygomatic bony defects using titanium comprising several steps, right from the patient scan to implant fabrication while maintaining proper aesthetic and facial symmetry. The integrated system methodology involves computer-assisted implant design based on the patient computed tomography data, the implant fitting accuracy using three-dimensional comparison techniques, finite element analysis to investigate the biomechanical behavior under loading conditions, and finally titanium fabrication of the zygomatic implant using state-of-the-art electron beam melting technology. The resulting titanium implant has a superior aesthetic appearance and preferable biocompatibility. The customized mirrored implant accurately fit on the defective area and restored the tumor region with inconsequential inconsistency. Moreover, the outcome from the two-dimensional analysis provided a good accuracy within 2 mm as established through physical prototyping. Thus, the designed implant produced faultless fitting, favorable symmetry, and satisfying aesthetics. The simulation results also demonstrated the load resistant ability of the implant with max stress within 1.76 MPa. Certainly, the mirrored and electron beam melted titanium implant can be considered as the practical alternative for a bone substitute of complex zygomatic reconstruction.

The article focuses on the organization of the teaching of hydraulics in the modern situation associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The transition to full e learning in recent months has led to a significant increase in the volume of taught distance materials, to the acceleration of the implementation of various methods of e learning. Particular attention is paid to the methods of distance learning based on the electronic information and educational environment of our University. Carrying out laboratory work, which plays an important role in the teaching of the discipline "Hydraulics" - is also one of the important problems of distance learning students.

This paper presents a new approach for managing laboratory work mini-projects that is used in the Computer Architecture Department of the Technical University of Madrid (UPM). The approach is based on a chain of tools (a Delivery Agent; an Automatic Project Evaluator; and a Plagiarism Detection Assistant) that a small number of teachers can use to efficiently manage a course with a large number of students (400 each year). Students use this tool chain to complete the Assembly Language Programming laboratory assignments using an MC88110 simulator built in our department. Jointly, these tools have demonstrated over the last decade what important benefits can be gained from the exploitation of a global laboratory work management system. Some of the benefits may have a continuation in an area of growing importance that we have not yet explored, such as distance learning environments for technical subjects.

<p><strong>Introducción. </strong>Mediante la Resolución 429 de 2016, Colombia adoptó el modelo de Atención Primaria en Salud como una política de atención integral en salud. Los médicos familiares son un elemento fundamental para su desarrollo. Para 2014, se estimó que en Colombia había poco más de 1,2 médicos familiares por 100.000 habitantes y solo siete programas de formación de posgrado presencial en todo el país, concentrados en las ciudades más desarrolladas. Por este motivo, el Ministerio de Educación y el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social buscan incrementar la formación de especialistas en Medicina Familiar. Brasil, India, México, Paraguay y Sudan, entre otros países, exploraron la educación virtual y a distancia como una opción de formación médica para esta especialidad. Por lo anterior, los investigadores se preguntaron si las características que permitieron el desarrollo de estas experiencias en otros países podrían servir para orien­tar la creación de un programa similar en Colombia.</p><p><strong>Objetivo. </strong>Hacer una descripción detallada de las características que permi­tieron el desarrollo de experiencias de formación a distancia y virtual para médicos familiares en el mundo y, a partir de su análisis, encontrar bases que puedan servir para el desarrollo de un programa similar en Colombia.</p><p class="Pa6"><strong>Metodología. </strong>Se trata de un estudio cualitativo, hermenéutico, basado en la recopilación y el análisis documentales. La búsqueda se hizo en Pubmed, ProQuest, Embase, Lilacs, Bireme, Springer Link, PlosOne y World Library of Science, utilizando los términos “distance learning”, “family practice”, “e-learning”, “education B-learning”, “ICT learning”, “computer-assisted instruction”, “educación a distancia”, “educación virtual”, y “me­dicina familiar y comunitaria</p><p class="Pa6"><strong>Resultados. </strong>Se seleccionaron 71 artículos de 23 países. Se se­ñalaron las características comunes en los programas de edu­cación virtual y a distancia, mediante una matriz de fortalezas, oportunidades, debilidades y amenazas, y se reseñaron los rasgos políticos, económicos, sociales, y tecnológicos del contex­to colombiano que pudieren favorecer o no el desarrollo de un programa similar.</p><p><strong>Conclusiones. </strong>La educación de posgrado a distancia para médi­cos familiares ha sido posible en diferentes países. En Colombia, deben desarrollarse ajustes políticos, económicos, tecnológicos y legales para que un programa de estas características tenga un impacto significativo en el desarrollo de la especialidad.</p>

Within the didactic process and until the confinement of spring 2020, however, at the University of Wrocław, interpersonal, group and institutional electronic communication (cf. McQuail's pyramid of communication levels 2010: 25) was mainly reduced to the exchange of e-mails and the transmission of information or documents, with some occasional attempts to implement computer-assisted teaching . This peaceful landscape was completely disrupted by the introduction of distance learning from 18 March 2020 (Regulation No. 29/2020 of the President of the University of Wrocław on the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 among members of the University of Wrocław community). Face-to-face classes were interrupted one week earlier, at the end of the second week of the semester (which normally consists of fifteen weeks). The teachers then had only eight days to completely reprofile their methodological portfolio for distance learning.

A major issue problem in military training is the territorial dispersion of military personnel in a wide geographical area. Typically in every military training course, officers are gathered in training camps and attend the lessons. The specific model obliges officers to leave their position, their units to lose their ser-vices and is extremely costly, as the learners have to move and reside near the training camp during their training. The application of distance learning techniques seems in a position to solve such problems. The School of Research and Informatics of University of the Aegean (UoA), for Officers of the Greek Army in cooperation with the academic community in Greece studied the possibility of training military per-sonnel via a computer assisted distance-learning system and then implemented a pilot programme in Op-erational Business Management. The present chapter describes the results of this study, the experience acquired during the implementation and an overall assessment of the pilot program.

This chapter describes how a traditional distance education provider, Anadolu University of Turkey, integrated computer-supported learning into its traditional distance courses. Anadolu University has been struggling with offering quality education to their large body of distance learners (approximately 1 million). To do so, the university tries to integrate computer-supported learning environments into its traditional correspondence programs. Building supplementary e-learning portals, through which learners can access videos, textbooks, audio books, computer-assisted instruction materials, self-tests, pedagogical and managerial support is one of the important steps taken. The authors hope that those who are interested in distance learning and computer-supported learning in different contexts will benefit from the efforts of Anadolu University explained in this chapter.
