AbstractObjectives: To introduce and evaluate a computer assisted learning programme in undergraduate psychiatry (CAL-PSYCH).Methods: An interactive e-learning environment was created within the University College Dublin portal to assist students in acquiring the necessary skills in undergraduate psychiatry. The pilot phase consisted of providing their lectures on-line on the interactive site. Data were gathered from the last group of students in 2001 (pre-CAL-PSYCH) and the first group of students using CAL-PSYCH in 2002. We included assessment of percentage of students accessing the site, attendance rates at face-to-face lectures and tutorials, and also a feedback questionnaire from students who accessed the site.Results: All responders had used CAL-PSYCH. Students gave higher ratings for quality and interactivity of lectures compared with the pre-CAL-PSYCH curriculum. Students also expressed enthusiasm about CAL-PSYCH and encouraged us to develop it further.Conclusions: Computer-assisted learning environments such as CAL-PSYCH provide the opportunity to bring modern e-learning techniques to medical education, and may provide a new model for life-long learning in medicine.

Identification Tool

Sustainable management and conservation of tropical trees and forests require accurate identification of tree species. Reliable, user-friendly identification tools based on macroscopic morphological features have already been developed for various tree floras. Wood anatomical features provide also a considerable amount of information that can be used for timber traceability, certification and trade control. Yet, this information is still poorly used, and only a handful of experts are able to use it for plant species identification. Here, we present an interactive, user-friendly tool based on vector graphics, illustrating 99 states of 27 wood characters from 110 Amazonian tree species belonging to 34 families. Pl@ntWood is a graphical identification tool based on the IDAO system, a multimedia approach to plant identification. Wood anatomical characters were selected from the IAWA list of microscopic features for hardwood identification, which will enable us to easily extend this work to a larger number of species. A stand-alone application has been developed and an on-line version will be delivered in the near future. Besides allowing non-specialists to identify plants in a user-friendly interface, this system can be used with different purposes such as teaching, conservation, management, and selftraining in the wood anatomy of tropical species.

RESUMO Com o aumento da oferta na rede mundial de computadores dos chamados Cursos On-line Massivos e Abertos, mais conhecidos por seu acrônimo em inglês MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses), cria-se a necessidade de que se pesquise de maneira mais aprofundada sua dinâmica, sua pedagogia e sua estrutura a fim de que se possa estabelecer um juízo sobre as possibilidades de uso efetivo desta nova ferramenta para o ensino de línguas estrangeiras. Neste trabalho, situado no âmbito das pesquisas em CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning), partimos da perspectiva da Teoria Conectivista, estabelecida, sobretudo, a partir dos estudos de Siemens e Downes, para analisar dois cursos de línguas estrangeiras na modalidade MOOC, oferecidos em diferentes plataformas digitais: o curso de espanhol para estrangeiros oferecido pela UNED em plataforma própria e o curso de mandarim para hispanofalantes veiculado pela plataforma UNIMOOC. Em ambos os casos, evidencia-se que os cursos não cumprem o que prometem, apresentando falhas no processo de ensino, sobretudo no que tange à necessidade de criar espaços propícios à interação. Este trabalho inscreve-se em uma proposta de pesquisa mais ampla, cujo objetivo é estabelecer critérios adequados para a criação de MOOCs para o ensino de línguas estrangeiras.

The Creation

The computer-assisted design of soundscapes for virtual environments has received far less attention than the creation of graphical content. In this “think piece” we briefly introduce the principal characteristics of a framework under development that aims towards the creation of an automatic sonification of virtual worlds. As a starting point, the proposed system is based on an on-line collaborative sound repository that, together with content-based audio retrieval tools, assists the search of sounds to be associated with 3D models or scenes.

Hygroscopic Particles

A photometric technique was developed for on-line measurement of aerosol deposition in isolated, ventilated, and perfused rabbit lungs. A jet nebulizer was used for aerosolization of saline (hygroscopic particles) and di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (nonhygroscopic particles). Aerosol concentration (laser photometer, constructed for measurements in rabbit lungs) and flow rate (commercial pneumotachograph) were continuously monitored at the inlet of the tracheal cannula. Computer-assisted data processing allowed the breath-by-breath calculation of inhaled and exhaled aerosol mass, thus providing the deposition fraction. With the use of hygroscopic particles, however, this approach was hampered by the humidity-induced particle growth in the airways, leading to an overestimation of the aerosol concentration in exhaled air. This effect was corrected by an algorithm using a “particle growth factor” derived breath by breath from the photometer signal. To test the reliability of this approach, saline particles carrying technetium-99m label were aerosolized into rabbit lungs with the use of various ventilator settings, and the aerosol deposition was assessed in parallel by photometry and by radioactivity detection over the lung and over a trap in the exhaled-air circuit. Superimposable curves of cumulative aerosol deposition, with changes in kinetics dependent on the ventilator mode, were obtained. For a given ventilator setting, absolute values of the deposition fraction were 0.32 +/- 0.04 (radiotracer quantification) and 0.36 +/- 0.04 (photometry; means +/- SD; n = 4). We conclude that the presented laser-photometric technique allows reliable on-line monitoring of the deposition of both nonhygroscopic and hygroscopic aerosol particles in ventilated lungs.

Abstract An experimental automatic electrode system was constructed to determine the feasibility of making routine determinations of blood pH, pO2, pCO2, sodium, and potassium in intensive care units. The equipment standardizes itself automatically every 25 min, and is self-cleaning after a blood specimen has been analyzed. The analyzer is connected on-line to an IBM 1800 computer on an interrupt basis. There was no significant difference between the results for pH, pO2, and pCO2 obtained with this machine and those by manual methods. The precision obtainable for the five determinations is given. The relationship between blood and plasma sodium and potassium activities determined with the glass electrodes and plasma sodium and potassium concentrations determined by flame photometry is discussed.
