Transition in, transition out (TiTo): peer mentoring for sustainable development of first and third year psychology students [Final Report]

Transition In, Transition Out (TiTo) is a student peer-mentoring model designed to simultaneously support commencing and graduating students. Outcomes of the project include development of a sustainable, evidence-based approach for managing student transition and an improved student experience. TiTo was developed from a sound pedagogical base, drawing on evidence about transition, learning and graduate attributes relevant to the discipline of psychology. As such TiTo brings together the following three overlapping frameworks to support the transition, engagement, and learning of psychology students: • The Five Senses of Success framework (Lizzio, 2006), which summarise the major predictors of successful transition for first year students; • Entwistle’s (2000) deep, surface and strategic approaches to learning; and • The concept of psychological literacy, which is the capacity to adaptively apply psychological principles to meet personal, professional, and societal needs (Cranney & Dunn, 2011). TiTo involves training final year students as mentors. Training and on-going support for mentors is embedded in a third year capstone course. The mentors work with first year students for eight weeks of the semester, facilitating work on assessment tasks and supporting transition to university. The mentoring package is designed to build positive change for both first year students and their third year mentors in the five senses of success, learning approaches and psychological literacies, thus better preparing students as they enter into the psychology discipline and as they prepare to graduate. In order to evaluate TiTo, we implemented and tested the model in two different university contexts. The first was a large urban university, RMIT University. RMIT has a student cohort of more than 70,000 based on several campuses in urban Melbourne and off-shore. RMIT is part of the Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN). The second university was the University of Southern Queensland (USQ), a smaller regional provider, with approximately 25,000 students spread across three campuses in the south-east of Queensland. USQ has a particular expertise in online delivery, with more than 75% of students studying off-campus. USQ is part of the Regional Universities Network (RUN). The evaluation of TiTo undertaken for this project demonstrated the effectiveness of the model for both face-to-face delivery at RMIT University and in blended learning contexts at USQ. First year mentees and third year mentors at both universities rated their experience of mentoring as positive, with the majority of students in each group noting the experience had supported their work on assessment tasks and encouraged a sense of belonging. TiTo was also associated with improvements in aspects associated with success (senses of success) for first year students and mentors as well as positive change in deep, strategic and surface learning over the course of the semester. Increases in psychology literacy were noted for first year students and mentors at both universities. Data collected through focus groups support the value of this initiative. Not all first year students, however, found TiTo useful. Student feedback provides insight into who these students might be and how to better engage them in the process in subsequent iteration of the TiTo model. Key deliverables of the current project can be considered in three broad categories. • A set of resources and materials on peer mentoring. This includes the TiTo website, workbooks for both mentees and mentors, and a mentor training program. • Dissemination of findings through academic and scholarly publications, workshops, and conference presentations. • The creation of a community of stakeholders in the psychology higher education sector who are engaged to act on the project outcomes. The outcomes and deliverables of the project can be found in a range of publications as well as on the project website: <http://emedia.rmit.edu.au/tito/

A CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR MIMU SENSORS ALLOWING FOR THE CALCULATION OF ELBOW ANGLES

Non-optical wearable sensors such as magnetic and inertial measurement units (MIMUs) are gaining popularity in sport and clinical settings owing to their ease of application, relative affordability and potential for improved ecological validity. We propose a method for the standardised reference calibration of a simple two-sensor MIMU system for the estimation of anatomically meaningful elbow kinematics. The participant poses with the elbow at 90° flexion and neutral (0°) pronation, allowing for the relative orientation of the MIMU on the forearm to be determined with reference to the MIMU located on the arm. Comparisons were with traditional kinematic marker method results. Root mean squared errors of less than 1° in flex/ext and < 2° (pro/sup) found in simple movements. Results with simple movements provide rationale to expand research to complex movements

Building a semantically annotated corpus of clinical texts

In this paper, we describe the construction of a semantically annotated corpus of clinical texts for use in the development and evaluation of systems for automatically extracting clinically significant information from the textual component of patient records. The paper details the sampling of textual material from a collection of 20,000 cancer patient records, the development of a semantic annotation scheme, the annotation methodology, the distribution of annotations in the final corpus, and the use of the corpus for development of an adaptive information extraction system. The resulting corpus is the most richly semantically annotated resource for clinical text processing built to date, whose value has been demonstrated through its use in developing an effective information extraction system. The detailed presentation of our corpus construction and annotation methodology will be of value to others seeking to build high-quality semantically annotated corpora in biomedical domains

Rapidez de propagación de una onda sonora en un gas

El Tubo de Rubens es un aparato que permite visualizar una onda estacionaria. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la rapidez de propagación de una onda sonora en dos gases diferentes: propano y gas LP, en un Tubo de Rubens. Se variaron las frecuencias de una onda sonora para encontrar los distintos armónicos y determinar su longitud de onda. Se graficaron las frecuencias contra los inversos de la longitud de onda y así se determinó la rapidez de propagación de la onda en cada gas. Se obtuvo que la velocidad en el propano fue de (259 ± 5) m/s y en el gas LP (260 ± 6) m/s. Este experimento fue efectivo para demostrar la aparición de los nodos y antinodos en una onda estacionaria. Para futuras investigaciones, se propone el estudio del efecto de algunas variables como la presión en el tubo.The Rubens’ Tube is a device that allows the visualization of a standing wave. The objective of this investigation was to determine the propagation speed of a sound wave for two different gases: propane and LP gas in a Rubens’ tube. The frequency of the sound wave was varied in order to find the different harmonics determine its wavelength. The frequencies were plotted against the inverse of the wavelength, thus obtaining the propagation speed for each gas. It was obtained that the propagation speed of sound for propane was (259± 5) m/s, and for LP gas (260± 6) m/s. This experiment was effective to demonstrate the appearance of nodes and antinodes in a standing wave. For future work, it is proposed the study of the effect of variables such as the pressure inside the tube

Electronic medical records and genomics (eMERGE) network exploration in cataract: Several new potential susceptibility loci

Purpose Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world, and in the United States accounts for approximately 60% of Medicare costs related to vision. The purpose of this study was to identify genetic markers for age-related cataract through a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Methods: In the electronic medical records and genomics (eMERGE) network, we ran an electronic phenotyping algorithm on individuals in each of five sites with electronic medical records linked to DNA biobanks. We performed a GWAS using 530,101 SNPs from the Illumina 660W-Quad in a total of 7,397 individuals (5,503 cases and 1,894 controls). We also performed an age-at-diagnosis case-only analysis. Results: We identified several statistically significant associations with age-related cataract (45 SNPs) as well as age at diagnosis (44 SNPs). The 45 SNPs associated with cataract at p<1×10−5 are in several interesting genes, including ALDOB, MAP3K1, and MEF2C. All have potential biologic relationships with cataracts. Conclusions: This is the first genome-wide association study of age-related cataract, and several regions of interest have been identified. The eMERGE network has pioneered the exploration of genomic associations in biobanks linked to electronic health records, and this study is another example of the utility of such resources. Explorations of age-related cataract including validation and replication of the association results identified herein are needed in future studies
