成人看護学実習にテレナーシングを導入した教育プログラムの効果 : 患者教育プラン実施に対する学生の自己評価から

目的：成人看護学実習にテレナーシングを導入した教育プログラムの効果を学生の自己評価から検討する。方法：成人看護学実習Ⅱを履修した学生100名に患者教育プランの実施状況や認識をweb調査した。量的データは記述統計を用い、自由記載は質的記述的に分析した。結果：56名から回答を得た（回収率56.0％）。85.7%の学生が自作のパンフレットを使用し、87.5％がプランを計画通りにでき、84.0％が看護師役に満足していた。実施に対する認識は【患者のセルフケアを促して続けるための工夫】や【相手のペースに合わせて指導を展開しようとする試み】、【画面越しの患者の状態観察の難しさ】等12カテゴリーが抽出された。考察：学生はテレナーシングにおけるコミュニケーション技法を学ぶ機会となり、患者の行動変容を意識したプランを実施できた。このことから、本教育プログラムは成人看護学実習での教育方法としての有用性が示唆された。Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of an educational program that introduced telenursing to adult nursing practice by students’ self-evaluation.Method: We conducted a web survey on the implementation and perceptions of telenursing among 100 nursing students who had taken Adult Nursing Practice II. We analyzed quantitative data and free text using descriptive statistics and qualitative descriptive methods, respectively.Result: Of the 56 respondents, 85.7% used self-made pamphlets as learning materials, 87.5% could follow the educational plan as planned, and 84.0% were satisfied with the nurse role. We extracted 12 categories of perceptions of telenursing, including “attempts to encourage and continue self-care among patients,” “attempts to develop teaching at the pace of the other person,” and “difficulties in observing the patient’s condition through a screen.”Discussion: The students had an opportunity to learn communication techniques in telenursing and were able to implement a plan with an awareness of patients’ behavioral changes. This suggests that this educational program is useful as an educational method in adult nursing practice

Age and Gender Recognition Using Facial Edge Information

In the marketing field, it is very useful to collect the customer data of age and gender etc. For age and gender recognition, this study focuses on the edge information that consists of all wrinkles in a face and also a neck. Density histogram in which the value of the edge intensity of the vertical direction and the horizontal direction in an image is greater than a threshold value is computed by using the edge feature extraction. They are treated as input data to a neural network (NN). These simulations are tried toward the face image database which collected face images of 15-64 years old. We perform the psychology experiment to know how humans are recognizing human’s age. The result is compared with the result by NN. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, computer simulations are carried out using these face images.The original publication is available at JAIST Press http://www.jaist.ac.jp/library/jaist-press/index.htmlIFSR 2005 : Proceedings of the First World Congress of the International Federation for Systems Research : The New Roles of Systems Sciences For a Knowledge-based Society : Nov. 14-17, 2032, Kobe, JapanSymposium 3, Session 2 : Intelligent Information Technology and Applications Pattern Recognitiion with Application

Initial Polarized Bud Growth by Endocytic Recycling in the Absence of Actin Cable–dependent Vesicle Transport in Yeast

Budding yeast mutants in assembly of actin cables, which are thought to be the only actin structures essential for budding, still could form a small bud. Mutations in actin patch endocytic machineries/endocytic recycling factors inhibited this budding, suggesting a mechanism that promotes polarized growth by local recycling of endocytic vesicles
