神经病学专业特色课程思政育人体系构建

立足于落实立德树人的根本任务,加快建设高质量教育体系。神经病学教学在医学教育中占据重要地位。当前的医学教育因专业性强、理论知识多,主要集中于知识与技能的传授。当今时代的高校教学,应将立德树人成效作为检验高校一切工作的根本标准。课程思政作为引导医学生树立正确的社会主义核心价值观,遵守医疗法规和职业道德的重要桥梁,已在各医科院校广泛开展。神经系统是一个高度复杂、精密有序的非线性网络系统,神经病学教学具有专业特殊性,专业课程学习难度大。神经病学教学应以符合自身特点的方式,建构开展课程思政的有效路径。当前的神经病学课程思政,从教师的意识形态到教学的内容形式均存在不足,思政建设相对落后。通过多主体相互协作,建立符合神经病学专业特色的课程思政育人体系,落实立德树人根本任务,将价值塑造、知识传授和能力培养三者融为一体,将神经病学专业教育和思政教育有机结合,寓价值观引导于知识传授和能力培养之中,帮助医学生塑造正确的世界观、人生观及价值观,达到育人成效。

Alternative Assessment in an EFL Project-based Learning Context: Perceptions and Correlations

This study aims to explore Chinese university EFL learners'perceptions toward alternative assessment in a context of a project-based learning digital storytelling presentation in Speaking Course.It also seeks to compare the relationship between alternative assessment and teacher assessment.The findings showed that a strong correlation between alternative assessment and teacher assessment occurred.Alternative assessment activities are viewed by students as"authentic"assessments,as they mimic how the student will be using their knowledge in the future.Alternative assessment as a form of formative assessment can be a powerful day-to-day tool for teachers and students.Alternative assessment is an enabler of process of learning.The study suggests that alternative assessment can encourage learners to become more fully responsible for their learning and can result in more and better learning.Alternative assessment can thus be used as a golden key to the"deaf and dumb"phenomenon for Chinese university EFL learners.

Characterisation, Analysis and Design of Hydrated Cement Treated Crushed Rock Base as a Road Base Material in Western Australia

Hydrated Cement Treated Crushed Rock Base （HCTCRB） is widely used as a base course in Western Australian pavements. HCTCRB has been designed and used as a basis for empirical approaches and in empirical practices. These methods are not all-encompassing enough to adequately explain the behaviour of HCTCRB in the field. Recent developments in mechanistic approaches have proven more reliable in the design and analysis of pavement, making it possible to more effectively document the characteristics of HCTCRB. The aim of this study was to carry out laboratory testing to assess the mechanical characteristics of HCTCRB. Conventional triaxial tests and repeated load triaxial tests （RLT tests） were performed. Factors affecting the performance of HCTCRB, namely hydration periods and the amount of added water were also investigated. It was found that the shear strength parameters of HCTCRB were 177 kPa for cohesion （c） and 42~ for the internal friction angle （~）. The hydration period, and the water added in this investigation affected the performance of HCTCRB. However, the related trends associated with such factors could not be assessed. All HCTCRB samples showed stress-dependency behaviour. Based on the stress stages of this experiment, the resilient modulus values of HCTCRB ranged from 300 MPa to 1100 MPa. CIRCLY, a computer program based on the multi-layer elastic theory was used in the mechanistic approach to pavement design and analysis, to determine the performance of a typical pavement model using HCTCRB as a base course layer. The mechanistic pavement design parameters for HCTCRB as a base course material were then introduced. The analysis suggests that the suitable depth for HCTCRB as a base layer for WA roads is at least 185 mm for the design equivalent standard axle （ESA） of 10 million.
