CONTEMPORARY PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ITS ADDED VALUES IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

In the field of education, with the advancement of cutting-edge technologies and the emergence of new challenges and solutions in the education sector, coupled with increasing globalization, competition, personal ambitions, new ideas are increasingly emerging, and opportunities for their realization are sought. Professional and successful project management facilitates the development of new ideas, their implementation in both public and private sector educational institutions. To achieve the goals set in the project, it is essential to determine the core values ​​that should be adhered to throughout the process. The parties involved in the project need to understand what the project is, its elements, the process to achieve desired results, the risks involved, who the project manager is, and his team, among others. The core values ​​in projects implemented in educational institutions may vary depending on the industry in which the project is implemented, the project\u27s goals, and implementation methods. However, there are some fundamental values ​​that the author of the article would like to highlight - development and growth, fairness and objectivity, equality, initiative and creativity, taking responsibility, honesty, moderation, diligence, and solidarity. The management of educational institutions, the organization of teaching, and the preparation of teaching materials using modern development, digitization, and competency approaches are becoming more relevant. Therefore, a systematic approach, which can be provided through project implementation, is a suitable solution. The principle of continuous improvement is fundamental to any of the approaches to managing an educational institution, regardless of whether the education system is being developed in public or private educational institutions. Currently, amidst unstable political situations and widely available forms of support (grants, donations, capital discounts, etc.), Latvia is once again facing new challenges in economic development. Projects are one of the tools that can be used to implement ideas or improve the knowledge, capacity, skills, and competencies of educational institution staff, among other things. The aim of the article is to explore the core values ​​of project implementation, describing European Union Special Support (hereinafter - SAM) projects, identifying the benefits to educational institutions, and drawing conclusions about the added value of projects in the operation of educational institutions.

WORKSHOP PEMBUATAN MEDIA BELAJAR DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN CANVA

Presentasi yang dilakukan oleh seorang guru harus mudah dimengerti, dipahami serta ilmu tersebut bisa digunakan oleh siswa/siswi dalam kehidupan sehari – hari maupun di dunia kerja atau juga di dunia wirausaha. Agar sebuah pembelajaran bisa dimengerti oleh siswa/siswi, maka diperlukan penguasaan materi yang baik serta media pembelajaran yang kreatif melalui teknologi informasi dan komunikasi. Namun, berdasarkan data dari Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Kemendikbud) pada tahun 2021, menyebutkan bahwa 60 persen guru di Indonesia belum menguasai Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK). Terdapat kesenjangan kemampuan di antara para guru, siswa dan orang tua yang beragam serta jaringan internet yang belum merata di Indonesia, menjadi beberapa penyebab guru di Indonesia belum mampu menguasai Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi. Hal ini juga yang dirasakan oleh para guru di SMA Negeri 22 Palembang. Kurangnya pengetahuan para guru tentang media pembelajaran yang kreatif dengan bantuan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi, membuat siswa/siswi di SMA Negeri 22 kesulitan dalam memahami materi yang disampaikan oleh para guru. Untuk menambah pengetahuan para tenaga pengajar di SMA Negeri 22 Palembang, Institut Teknologi dan Bisnis Palcomtech akan memberikan workshop atau pelatihan pembuatan media pembelajaran kreatif dengan menggunakan aplikasi Canva. Agar para guru di SMA Negeri 22 bisa memberikan materi yang mudah dipahami oleh siswa/siswi

Technical skills workshop for nurses entering a healthcare institution graduating in the 2020-2021 period

One of the most important edges in our nursing career is to understand that in order to achieve a good care to the subject of attention, it is necessary to apply justified knowledge. Nursing thus becomes a continuous learning process where the benefit will always be for the patient. This paper presents the development of the planning of an intervention project that aims to build a technical skills workshop for nurses entering a health institution graduated in periods 2020-2021 in a private sanatorium in the city of Rosario in September 2024. The intervention consists of an activity in workshop format with the participation of these new nurses and with actors belonging to the institution. It will have a quarterly duration and will contain 6 meetings of 2 hours (120 minutes) of duration and a fortnightly frequency. As a result of this project, it is expected that 83% of the nurses (6) will have the fundamentals and tools for patient care, since during the pandemic period they have had to study virtually and without meetings to strengthen nursing technique

Phylogenetic analyses suggest multiple changes of substrate specificity within the Glycosyl hydrolase 20 family

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Beta-N-acetylhexosaminidases belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase 20 (GH20) family are involved in the removal of terminal β-glycosidacally linked N-acetylhexosamine residues. These enzymes, widely distributed in microorganisms, animals and plants, are involved in many important physiological and pathological processes, such as cell structural integrity, energy storage, pathogen defence, viral penetration, cellular signalling, fertilization, development of carcinomas, inflammatory events and lysosomal storage diseases. Nevertheless, only limited analyses of phylogenetic relationships between GH20 genes have been performed until now.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Careful phylogenetic analyses of 233 inferred protein sequences from eukaryotes and prokaryotes reveal a complex history for the GH20 family. In bacteria, multiple gene duplications and lineage specific gene loss (and/or horizontal gene transfer) are required to explain the observed taxonomic distribution. The last common ancestor of extant eukaryotes is likely to have possessed at least one GH20 family member. At least one gene duplication before the divergence of animals, plants and fungi as well as other lineage specific duplication events have given rise to multiple paralogous subfamilies in eukaryotes. Phylogenetic analyses also suggest that a second, divergent subfamily of GH20 family genes present in animals derive from an independent prokaryotic source. Our data suggest multiple convergent changes of functional roles of GH20 family members in eukaryotes.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>This study represents the first detailed evolutionary analysis of the glycosyl hydrolase GH20 family. Mapping of data concerning physiological function of GH20 family members onto the phylogenetic tree reveals that apparently convergent and highly lineage specific changes in substrate specificity have occurred in multiple GH20 subfamilies.</p

Challenges and Strategies in Post-Pandemic Nursing Education

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic, initiated in 2020, generated important changes in educational systems, especially in nursing education. The transition to virtuality negatively impacted educational quality, limiting clinical practices, social interaction and student motivation. In the field of nursing, where technical training is essential, these deficiencies resulted in insufficient clinical skills in students, affecting their preparation to face real patient care scenarios.Development: Recent studies, such as the one conducted at the University of Zacatecas, Mexico, showed that students without access to clinical practice during the pandemic reported deficient clinical skills in fundamental tasks such as probe placement, vital signs management, and medication administration. In response to this problem, an intervention program was designed in a private sanatorium in Rosario for probationary nurses. This project integrated practical workshops, simulation and collaborative learning to strengthen essential technical competencies. The sanatorium\u27s infrastructure and human resources provided a suitable environment to develop this educational strategy, focused on improving care quality and patient safety.Conclusions: This article highlighted the need for comprehensive training strategies that prioritize clinical practice as a response to the shortages generated during the pandemic. The implementation of the program not only strengthened technical skills in new nurses, but also promoted continuing professional development, establishing a replicable model in the health care settin

Impact of Anatomical Variability on Sensitivity Profile in fNIRS-MRI Integration

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an important non-invasive technique used to monitor cortical activity. However, a varying sensitivity of surface channels vs. cortical structures may suggest integrating the fNIRS with the subject-specific anatomy (SSA) obtained from routine MRI. Actual processing tools permit the computation of the SSA forward problem (i.e., cortex to channel sensitivity) and next, a regularized solution of the inverse problem to map the fNIRS signals onto the cortex. The focus of this study is on the analysis of the forward problem to quantify the effect of inter-subject variability. Thirteen young adults (six males, seven females, age 29.3 +/- 4.3) underwent both an MRI scan and a motor grasping task with a continuous wave fNIRS system of 102 measurement channels with optodes placed according to a 10/5 system. The fNIRS sensitivity profile was estimated using Monte Carlo simulations on each SSA and on three major atlases (i.e., Colin27, ICBM152 and FSAverage) for comparison. In each SSA, the average sensitivity curves were obtained by aligning the 102 channels and segmenting them by depth quartiles. The first quartile (depth &lt; 11.8 (0.7) mm, median (IQR)) covered 0.391 (0.087)% of the total sensitivity profile, while the second one (depth &lt; 13.6 (0.7) mm) covered 0.292 (0.009)%, hence indicating that about 70% of the signal was from the gyri. The sensitivity bell-shape was broad in the source-detector direction (20.953 (5.379) mm FWHM, first depth quartile) and steeper in the transversal one (6.082 (2.086) mm). The sensitivity of channels vs. different cortical areas based on SSA were analyzed finding high dispersions among subjects and large differences with atlas-based evaluations. Moreover, the inverse cortical mapping for the grasping task showed differences between SSA and atlas based solutions. In conclusion, integration with MRI SSA can significantly improve fNIRS interpretation

Risk estimates and features of infectious events in subjects with different causes and level of neutropenia

Neutropenia is diagnosed when absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is less than 1,500 cells/µL.1  Specific causes and severity of neutropenia were directly related to the risk of infection. Four decades ago, Bodey et al. demonstrated an inverse relationship between neutrophils number and infection in subjects affected by acute leukemia after chemotherapy.2 The risk of infection increased when ANC was less than 500 cells/µL for a long period, whereas it is decreased when ANC is greater than 500 cells/µL and the duration of neutropenia is reduced
