The study evaluated the farmers’ participatory methods of upscaling technologies for increasing mungbean production in the south-western region of Bangladesh. It was a descriptive survey study and data were collected by interviewing 120 sample farmers in DFID-Mungbean Project areas in Bangladesh. The participatory methods trailed in the project were farmers seed exchange program, demonstrations trials, agricultural training and workshops on mungbean production. However, farmers to farmers seed exchange program was identified as the most effective method. During the project phase, the farmers selected and adopted their preferred mungbean varieties, developed and practiced appropriate land preparation techniques along with improved post-harvest operations. Farmers’ participation in technology generation and upscaling resulted in increasing area and production of the mungbean many fold during 2004 to 2008. The average yield of mungbean was 1370 kg/ha and almost all framers obtained yields more than that of the national average of 705 kg/ha. Agricultural training, farm size and extension contact accounted for 83% of the total variation in upscaling technology and 90% of the variation in yield of mungbean. The extent of upscaling technology in terms of increase in area and yield of mungbean were associated with various participatory methods practiced by the farmers in the study area. The Agriculturists 2014; 12(2) 39-47

Abstract BACKGROUND: This study aims to identify the effects of the COVID-19 on surgical resident education at University Laval during first wave of the pandemic of spring 2020.METHODS: We conducted a web-based survey study to all residents training within one of the ten surgical specialties at University Laval, Quebec City. The survey focused on clinical teaching hours, appreciation of activities and novelties experienced and the impacts of virtual teaching. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed to summarize the data.RESULTS: There were 48 surgical residents who responded to our survey. There were participants from ten specialties. During the pandemic the mean number of weekly teaching hours dropped from 4.31 to 3.69 hours. The most appreciated activity was teaching sessions lead by a staff surgeon. More than 80% of respondents reported having partaken in other activities at some time during an online class while over 70% expressed retaining less when material was taught online rather than in person.CONCLUSION: Our survey provides insight for surgical programs to improve resident teaching and illustrates the necessity to optimize teaching schedules rapidly in times of pandemic. Even though the appreciation of virtual learning seems unsatisfactory by certain residents, trainees still require and appreciate teaching by their mentors.

In September 2011, I visited two universities in Finland as part of Magellan faculty exchange: Rovaniemi University of Applied Sciences in Pori (RAMK) and Satakunta University of Applied Sciences in Pori and Rauma (SAMK). It was such a wonderful and rewarding trip that I decided to share my experience with students to encourage them to study abroad. to encourage them to study abroad. Arkansas State University is a member of Magellan Exchange Program (http://www.magellanexchange.org/). The mission of this program is “to provide opportunities for students and faculty to have an affordable educational and cultural immersion experience.” I decided to apply for this exchange to foster my professional development and to establish new contacts for cross-cultural collaboration in my area of research.
