Modeling Adaptive Expertise Together

In this piece, we reflect on our pedagogical responses during the Covid-19 semester as we taught many of the same students in two different undergraduate courses in our English teaching program, namely Teaching Writers in Secondary ELA Classrooms and Assessing Readers and Writers in Secondary Classrooms. We apply the adaptive expertise framework to guide our reflections

Training and education for respiratory on-call physiotherapists in the UK: a national survey

Background: Physiotherapists frequently provide emergency on-call respiratory services outside of normal working hours. The Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Respiratory Care (ACPRC) has raised concerns regarding the heterogeneity of training and education across the United Kingdom, particularly given that non-respiratory physiotherapists participate in on-call respiratory treatments. The aim of this study was to explore current provision of on-call respiratory physiotherapy in the United Kingdom (UK). Methods: This study employed a survey-based approach. An online survey was developed and piloted to meet the aims of the study. Physiotherapists were recruited proactively via professional on-line noticeboards, the Council for Allied Health Professionals’ Research, other special interest groups and using social media. The survey was open to responses for 3 weeks. Results: A total of 120 responses were received, of which 13 were excluded as they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Responses indicated good representation nationally, from those who run on-call services and deliver training at their respective hospitals. There was wide variation in the processes that physiotherapists must complete prior to undertaking on-call duties. Competence was assessed via a number of means, with wide variation between the assessment methods. There was a lack of consensus regarding the purpose of on-call respiratory physiotherapy. Conclusion: The results highlight the varied nature of on-call service provision and training in the UK. Training methods have shifted from supervised sessions to more practical-based work utilising the skills and knowledge of colleagues

AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT FORCES OF DIFFERENT MODES OF EXERCISE AS A CAUSAL FACTOR TO THE LOW BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN JOCKEYS

The purpose of this study was to investigate the forces placed on the lower limbs of jockeys during riding and to determine whether these were comparable to the impact forces associated with traditional weight bearing activities such as walking and running. Evaluation of these forces will allow isolation of the key causes of the previously reported high incidence of low bone mineral density (BMD) associated with this population and indicate as to whether a lack of weight bearing exercise is a causative factor in this phenomenon. Eight apprentice jockeys completed 6 different activities including walking, running and riding (walk, trot, canter, gallop), where accelerometry data was collected to determine the amount of impact loading applied to the lower limbs. The impact accelerations of the lower limbs in horse riding were significantly lower than those seen in running (

HF spectrum occupancy and antennas

This paper deals with the research made during the COST 296 action in the WG2, WP 2.3 in the antennas and HF spectrum management fields, focusing the Mitigation of Ionospheric Effects on Radio Systems as the subject of this COST action.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
