Surface and Content Validity of an Advanced Beginner Nurse’s Self-Monitoring Scale While Multitasking

Background: Self-monitoring is important for recognizing the situations one is facing and assessing one’s own competence to respond appropriately to situations that require multitasking. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the surface and content validity of the Advanced Beginner Nurses’ Self-Monitoring Scale While Multitasking and refine the scale items accordingly. It is expected that the development of such scale will allow for reflection on advanced beginner nurses’ response to multitasking, leading to further capacity building. Methods: The surface validity of 96 items of the Advanced Beginner Nurses’ Self-Monitoring Scale While Multitasking was examined at a meeting with five expert researchers. Five researchers and five nurses examined the items’ content using an item-level content validity index through a questionnaire survey. Results and Conclusion: The Advanced Beginner Nurses’ Self-Monitoring Scale While Multitasking was organized into 73 items that were refined into scales with surface and content validity. Consequently, five sub-concepts were identified: recognizing the situation one’s facing, seeing one’s self from multiple perspectives, devising concrete strategies depending on the situation, considering a predictable time schedule, and being aware of the situation surrounding one’s self. In the future, it will be necessary to examine the reliability and validity of the scale.

Open-Source Codes of Topology Optimization: A Summary for Beginners to Start Their Research

Topology optimization(TO),a numerical technique to find the optimalmaterial layoutwith a given design domain,has attracted interest from researchers in the field of structural optimization in recent years.For beginners,opensource codes are undoubtedly the best alternative to learning TO,which can elaborate the implementation of a method in detail and easily engage more people to employ and extend the method.In this paper,we present a summary of various open-source codes and related literature on TO methods,including solid isotropic material with penalization(SIMP),evolutionary method,level set method(LSM),moving morphable components/voids(MMC/MMV)methods,multiscale topology optimization method,etc.Simultaneously,we classify the codes into five levels,fromeasy to difficult,depending on their difficulty,so that beginners can get started and understand the form of code implementation more quickly.

Colonoscopy procedural skills and training for new beginners

The incidence of colorectal cancer has been increasing in the developed world including South Korea and China.Colonoscopy allows for greater diagnostic specificity and sensitivity compared with other types of examinations,such as the stool occult blood test,barium enema,and computed tomography colonography.Therefore,in recent years,the demand for colonoscopies has grown rapidly.New beginners including primary care physicians may help meet the increasing demand by performing colonoscopies.However,it is a challenge to learn the procedure due to the long learning-curve and the high rate of complications,such as perforation and bleeding,as compared to gastroscopy.Thus,considerable training and experience are required for optimal performance of colonoscopies.In order to perform a complete colonoscopic examination,there were a few important thingsto learn and remember,such as the position of examinee(e.g.,left and right decubitus,supine,and prone)and examiner(two-man method vs one-man standing method vs one-man sitting method),basic skills(e.g.,tip deflection,push forward and pull back,torque,air suction and insufflation),advanced skills(e.g.,jiggling and shaking,right and left turn shortening,hooking,and slide-by technique),assisting skills(e.g.,position change of examinee,abdominal compression,breathing-holding,and liquid-infusion technique),and intubation techniques along the lower gastrointestinal tract.In this article,we attempt to describe the methods of insertion and advancement of the colonoscope to the new beginners including primary care physician.We believe that this article may be helpful to the new beginners who wish to learn the procedure.

Endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty:Is learning curve a myth?

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of transcanal endoscopic myringoplasty in the hand of young beginner surgeons who had just completed the residency programme.Methods: In a three year period(August 2012 to August 2015), 44 ears in 42 patients were operated upon by a beginner surgeon through the transcanal endoscopic approach in a subdistrict level hospital located in the north western ranges of the Himalayan region.Results: Of the 42 patient, 19 were male and 23 female. The mean age was 26.23 years(range: 15 e47 years). In 40 ears, complete perforation closure was achieved at six months(success rate: 90.9%). The mean air conduction PTA preoperatively was 40.84 dB HL and improved to 28.06 dB HL postoperatively(p <.001). The mean AB gap preoperatively was 22.40 dB, which improved to 9.1 dB postoperatively(p <.001).Conclusion: Endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty is safe and reliable even in young beginners' hands.Surgeons can consider endoscopic approach early in their careers without the fear of learning curve. The cost of endoscopic equipment is about one tenth as compared to open approach under a operating microscope, and an added advantage.

Teaching Grammar to Students at Basic and Intermediate Levels

There is no doubt that grammar is a basic and indispensable element in language. However, it is still under debate that whether grammar should be taught in class. Although Krashen(1981) argues that grammar instruction has little benefit on L2(second language) acquisition(as cited in Ellis, 2006), many educators still insist that grammar should be taught, especially for beginners and intermediate level students. Since students' proficiencies are various, a large number of instructors believe that teaching grammar is necessary and important for students to acquire the ability of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in their second language. Therefore, according to previous research studies and teaching practices, the following questions will be addressed: Why should grammar be taught in class, how to teach grammar and are there any strategies to improve the quality of grammar instruction, especially for non-native-speaking students at basic or intermediate level. Last but not least, are there any educational implications when teaching grammar in practice?
