Physiotherapy Education

Introduction: More recently, there is growing use of WhatsApp as a communication platform for teachers and their students. It seems that WhatsApp has advantages over other technological tools employed by the educational system. However, in the context of medical education this concept is still nascent. Hence, the purpose of this retrospective analysis is to explore the effects of WhatsApp use for Physiotherapy education as an adjunct to traditional teaching and to determine the opinions of the students towards this process.Methods: A facilitator created a group for the students, separate for every class. A total of 250 students from I year to IV year Physiotherapy undergraduate program participated voluntarily. Activities undertaken were discussion on academic topics, feedback on exam performance, guidance on seminar presentation, etc., and students’ doubts were answered with more elaborate explanation on the topic. Retrospective analysis of the students’ feedback obtained at the end of the program and content analysis was done from the themes identified.Results: Success of the program:• Professional, as well as comfortable learning environment, is created on WhatsApp• Low cost, simplicity, accessibility, efficiency & natural language• Fosters high interactions with the facilitator and knowledge sharing between students as well• Learning material—easy accessibility, variety of resources increases the flexibility, quick sharing of related links• Use of different emotional gestures add humor and fun to TL• Promotes proactive learning and critical thinking • Learning independently at anytime and anywhere (no geographical boundaries)• Students are more open to ask questions as it provides privacy and confidentiality• One student’s doubt solving benefits the entire group • Especially helpful during exam preparation for immediate feedback & quick problem solving, discussion of important topics, etc.• Effective method for doubt solving, explanation with voice notes, video calls is possibleProblems encountered:• Conceptual learning could be challenging • Technical challenges: need for a smartphone & internet facility; message flooding, eye strain, time consuming if large amount of context has to be discussed • High expectations on teacher’s availability• Students attention and understanding cannot be assured• Effectiveness depends upon teacher’s skills of use of related software applications• Distractions from other messages received simultaneously • Sometimes when the internet speed is slow, disruptions in the flow when many people are participating in the discussionConclusion: WhatsApp enables learning beyond classroom borders and can potentially enhance learning process in Physiotherapy education.

Knowing the g-value of acceleration of gravity is of paramount importance in various analyzes, and there are several ways of obtaining it experimentally. Here, searching for resources that are easy to apply in high school classrooms, the authors opted for the observation of a simple pendulum, performing a series of measurements of the pendulum period and applying them to the equations (appropriately manipulated for this experiment) of this oscillatory movement. The experiment was carried out in four steps: one with a mass of 10 grams and three with a mass of 20 grams; two with ten swings, one with fifteen and one with twenty. As a result, four values of local acceleration were estimated,which were compared, using the theory of errors, with the value made available in the literature. With these data, the feasibility of using this device in the teaching-learning process was verified, given its ease of handling and assembly, its low cost and its negligible error with the value of the literature.

Recent years have seen the rapid growth of on-demand, flexible, low-cost cloud-based information technology services. Government and business organizations around the world have started transforming their traditional in-house data center environments to cloud-based outsourced data centers. This transformation is opening doors to new risks given that the cloud computing delivery models, related services, and technologies are still maturing and evolving. Before deployment, organizations must implement cloud environment assessment methodologies to comply with the applicable standards and regulations. They must evaluate the environment’s quality attributes of Internet connectivity, user access control, privacy and confidentiality, asset protection, multiple platforms locality, availability, reliability, performance, and scalability. The purpose of this chapter is to assist organizations that are considering providing and consuming cloud-based services in developing an assessment plan specific to organizational policies, strategies and their business and applicable legal and regulatory requirements; and assessing the cloud environment controls for infrastructure, platform, and software services.

This chapter uses a methodological approach to investigate research and design knowledge acquisition in the context of social software applications, an area cluttered by an ever-growing number of applications and high expectations about the capabilities of a new generation of young users, the Net Generation. Its objectives are twofold: to provide a rational point of departure for developing a research and design framework and to exemplify it for the use of social software in higher education. The chapter scrutinizes popular assumptions about the Net Generation, basing the framework on the interdependency of user audience and technology. The results of a longitudinal exploratory study for the area of social software use in higher education are presented. The final part of the chapter discusses implications for the design of learning environments and a number of ideas for further research on knowledge acquisition within the social software context.

Reducing postdischarge Medicare expenditures is a key focus for hospitals. Early follow-up care is an important piece of this focus, but it is unclear whether there are rural–urban differences in the impact of follow-up care on Medicare expenditures. To assess this difference, we use the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, Cost and Use Files, 2000-2010. We conduct a retrospective analysis of 30-day postdischarge Medicare expenditures using two-stage residual inclusion with a quantile regression, where the receipt of 7-day follow-up care was the main independent variable. Postdischarge follow-up care increased the 25th percentile of 30-day expenditures, decreased the 75th percentile, and there were no rural–urban differences. Partial effects show postdischarge follow-up care resulted in higher 30-day expenditures among low-cost rural beneficiaries. Ensuring early follow-up care for high-cost beneficiaries may be advantageous to both rural and urban providers in helping reduce postdischarge Medicare expenditures.

In the teaching-learning process at the upper and upper secondary levels, it is difficult to motivate students about the importance of knowing and applying basic concepts in industrial processes. Therefore, it is proposed how to apply the concept of light polarization and spectroscopy to visualize the differences between substances based on sucrose or fructose. Both techniques have been applied in various industrial processes; their cost is regularly high and require extensive training. In this paper, we present the results of the implementation of a low cost linear polariscope for the analysis of natural bee honey and syrups based on sucrose. The arrangement consists of a semiconductor laser, a photodiode, two polarizers, a stepper motor and some mechanical elements, all controlled by the computer through a graphical interface. To validate the results, an optical array based on a low-cost commercial spectroscope is used. By implementing this experimental arrangement, the concepts of polarization, optical activity, atomic-molecular physics, electronic instrumentation and principles of equipment design and construction are involved.

We will begin by discussing the early history of programmed learning and showing how the interpretation of the term has evolved over the years. The origin of programmed learning had its roots in behavioural psychology- the new ‘scientific’ school of psychology that was pioneered by the American psychologist B F Skinner during the 1950’s. Behavioural psychology was based on what is generally referred to as the stimulus response (S-R) model of behaviour. One important feature of the original stimulus-response model of learning was the concept of successive reinforcement. Another feature is that a desired S-R bond would be firmly established if the learner was supplied with immediate feedback in the form of the correct answer immediately after attempting a particular learning task such as answering a question. Another feature of Skinner’s original theory was that each successive stimulus-response step should be small enough to ensure that the learner was nearly always correct in his or her response.
