Objective Methodology

Objective. The current model of education has been suffering changes, undergoing renovations, and seeking using and enjoying increasingly technological resources, as, for example, the Learning Management System (LMS). One of the most used LMS platforms is the Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle). This article proposes to demonstrate how Moodle platform was introduced in the subject of Stomatology through a clear and objective methodology.Study Design. In six months, 49 undergraduate students enrolled in stomatology subject accessed Moodle platform 2067 times and performed 02 evaluation exams at Discipline of Stomatology. Statistical analysis was performed by pairedt-test (comparison between number of access times before the first evaluation and number of access times before the second evaluation), Wilcoxon test (student’s grade on the first and second evaluation), and Pearson correlation test (correlation between the number of access times before the first evaluation and the first grade, correlation between the number of access times before the second evaluation and the second grade, and correlation between the variation of the number of access times and the variation of the student’s grade).Results and Conclusion. The digital platform Moodle was associated with better grade for those students who access it for more times (p<0,001) and was able to supply the needs of the students and help them to obtain information about the subject during the entire semester (6 months).

Advent of technology has caused growing interest in using computers to convert conventional paper and pencil-based testing (Henceforth PPT) into Computer-based testing (Henceforth CBT) in the field of education during last decades. This constant promulgation of computers to reshape the conventional tests into computerized format permeated the language assessment field in recent years. But, enjoying advantages of computers in language assessment raise the concerns of the effects that computerized mode of testing may have on CBT performance. Thus, this study investigated the score comparability of Vocabulary in Use test taken by 30 Iranian undergraduate students studying at a state university located in Chabahar region of Iran (CMU) to see whether scores from two administrations of testing mode were different. Therefore, two similar tests were administered to the male and female participants on two testing mode occasions with four weeks interval. Employing One-Way ANOVA statistical test to compare the mean scores and Pearson Correlation test to find the relationship between mode preference and performance revealed that two sets of scores were not different and gender difference was not also considered a variable that might affect performance on CBT. Based on the results, computerized version of the test can be considered a favorable alternative for the state undergraduate students in Iran.

Background: Teaching clinical reasoning and reflection skills in skills laboratory are usually neglected, therefore Skills Lab of FM UGM initiate to teach those skills for undergraduate students. This study aimed to evaluate student’s assignment of clinical reasoning and reflection skills and explore how to improve it.Method: An experimental study by giving student assignments to make an essay about particular disease based on SKDI level 4 that written on a medical record and reflection form format. All 4th-year medical students of FM GMU (n=186) and skills lab instructors (n=5) were involved. Assignments were assessed (by the instructors) using instrument by Driessen (2008), and analyzed by correlating those scores with students’ OSCE score and GPA using Pearson Correlation test. Qualitative data collected by deep interview with assessors and analyzed using Inductive Content Analysis by 2 coders.Results: There were no significant correlation between assignment score with OSCE score and GPA. However, there were significant correlations (p<0.05) between score of clinical reasoning with reflection skills, and OSCE score with GPA. Assessors conclude that assignment has been good enough to stimulate clinical reasoning and reflection skills, but still had weaknesses e.g. incompatibility of assignment’s format to assessment’s checklist, unclear instructions, and no assignment’s sample that made students submitted in various format.Conclusion: The assignment has been successfully conducted in Skills Lab FM UGM, however it needs some improvement, such as giving detail instructions, examples, and matching it with assessment instrument.

Objectives: Recently, the subject of reopening schools has raised several concerns, especially on the possibility of new COVID-19 cluster cases. The parent's role is essential in this matter. Therefore, this study aims to understand the parents' knowledge, attitude, and behavior toward COVID-19 in Indonesia. Methods:  A cross-sectional study was conducted on 206 Indonesian parents. A 55-items questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of subjects. In this study, median split tests, Kruskal-Wallis, Cronbach's α, and Pearson correlation test were used. Results:  Subjects were found to have high levels of knowledge, especially in the knowledge of COVID-19 as a contagious viral disease (98.5%), and the necessity for children to maintain personal hygiene to prevent COVID-19 (98.5%). Subjects' attitudes were highest at understanding how to prevent COVID-19 (95.1%) and teaching children how to avoid COVID-19 (98.1%). Subjects' attitude was lowest at hearing the news of the death of COVID-19 scares them (72.8%), and on how their child(ren) are getting bored at home because of COVID-19 (69.9%). Subjects' are shown to have high levels of behavior in every question. This study found a significant correlation between socioeconomic status and subjects' knowledge (p = 0.007). Conclusion:  This study revealed a lack of understanding of prevention strategies among low-income households. Hence, there is a need for targeted messaging and health education in low-income settings that consider the challenges they may face when attempting their children to practice COVID-19 prevention if schools reopen.

The Relationship

The most widely used social media such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook have changed the way we communicate with others especially amongst youth. It has been a major part of such activities in their lives. However, the most alarming situation is that youth are mostly students. It has been identified that those who spent more time online have evidenced more symptoms of depression. On that note, this study concerns to (i) identify the level of depression and (ii) to find out the relationship between social media and depression among them who are among undergraduate students. In order to retrieve the data, a set of questionnaire was distributed to 150 students of local university in Malaysia, that consists of three sections which are demographic information, Social Media Addiction Scale-Student Form (SMAS-SF) and Beck Depression Inventory 2nd Edition (BDI-II). There were two variables analyzed using Pearson correlation test. In short, the result showed that there is a correlation between social media and depression, r=0.199, n=150, p=<0.01. From this finding, it depicts that social media is significantly related and have positive relationship to depression among students involved. This study also provides such valuable information for counsellors and lecturers to identify students who have suffered depression and could help them to manage the problem. It also creates awareness among parents to be more alert with their children’s emotion.

Abstract Background: The cell division cycle-associated protein 2 (CDCA2) was found to be a cell cycle-related protein. CDCA2 was previously reported to be associated with proliferation and migration in multiple cancer. We evaluated the role of CDCA2 in glioma using publicly available data from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).Methods: The relationships between clinical characteristics and CDCA2 expression were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test or Kruskal-Wallis test. Clinicopathologic characteristics associated with overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier method. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to sort the signaling pathway associated with the expression of CDCA2. Pearson correlation test was used to analyse the expression correlation between CDCA2 and well-known cell cycle-related genes.Results: Glioma with high CDCA2 expression was more prone to be associated with advanced malignancy clinical pathologic characteristics and worse prognosis than that with low CDCA2 expression in TCGA and CGGA dataset (P < 0.001). The multiple analysis revealed that CDCA2 was independently associated with OS (HR:1.396; [CI]:1.236 − 1.577, P < 0.001). GSEA showed that cell cycle checkpoint, cell cycle G1/S phase transition, DNA damage checkpoint and regulation of cell cycle arrest were enriched in CDCA2 high expression phenotype. Pearson correlation test revealed that CDCA2 was co-expression with well-known key cell cycle-related genes (CCNA2, CCNB1, CCNB2, CCNE1, CCNE2, CDK1, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6).Conclusion: High CDCA2 expression may be a potential prognosis molecular marker of poor survival in glioma. Cell cycle regulation pathway may be the key pathway regulated by CDCA2 in glioma.

The Impact

The topic of academic success is the subject of study in many different contexts, and it is increasingly becoming part of numerous professional discussions. So far, there have been described several factors, one of which is anxiety, whether in the form of the currently-experienced state or the personality trait. Although it appears that anxiety affects academic success negatively, this issue is not sufficiently explored in the Czech universities. The study aimed to analyze the impact of anxiety on individual aspects of academic success and to verify the possible practical applicability of this knowledge in the context of the concept of supporting academic success among university students of the teacher training programmes. Data collection was carried out using two methods: the self-constructed questionnaire of academic achievement and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Trait version (STAI-T, Spielberger, 1983). The research sample consisted of 411 undergraduate students (average age 24.68, SD = 6.26, range 19-54), out of which 76 were men and 335 women. We used the following statistical methods for data processing: Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results showed that higher rates of anxiety are associated with the worst grade in the last winter semester and throughout the study, and that a lower degree of anxiety is associated with a better ability to organize the time for study, greater involvement in other activities related to study, the ability to fit among the classmates, adapting to study life, and also improving the ability to handle the overall demands of learning.
