Online Sports Medicine Fellowship Education: The Genesis of a National Program and Year-1 Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has created numerous challenges in all walks of life. One such challenge was the strain and subsequent effects on medical education, including the elimination of in-person learning opportunities. Consequently, in March of 2020, a nationwide Sports Medicine fellowship online education series was developed. Presentations were available for live and recorded viewing. Over the course of the 2020-2021 academic year, 38 presentations were offered, covering 45 topics. Live viewership totaled nearly 1600 through the year, while views of recorded lecture reached nearly 34,000. There was no statistical difference in the number of viewers for musculoskeletal versus nonmusculoskeletal topics in either the live (46.50 ± 35.37 vs. 43.38 ± 27.28 viewers, respectively; P = 0.77) or recorded formats (843.60 ± 337.66 vs 876.67 ± 624.70 viewers, respectively; P = 0.85). This article presents the novel approach to sports medicine education by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine in the 2020-2021 academic year through the genesis the National Online Fellowship Education Program along with analyses of viewership data

Zehn Jahre empirische Korruptionsforschung
Dieser Beitrag gibt einen knappen Überblick über die ersten zehn Jahre der empirischen Korruptionsforschung, die mit Mauro (1995) begann. Die ältere theoretische Diskussion der Frage, ob Korruption schädlich ist oder nicht, hatte zu keinem eindeutigen und allgemein akzeptierten Ergebnis geführt; die wesentlichen Argumente werden kurz skizziert. Erst internationale Querschnittsstudien führten eine Klärung herbei; die negativen makroökonomischen und sozialen Auswirkungen der Korruption sind gut belegt.
Etwas weniger eindeutig sind die Ergebnisse des Versuchs, mit Länderdaten die Ursachen der Korruption – und damit die Möglichkeiten ihrer Bekämpfung – empirisch zu untersuchen. Ein neuer Trend ist die Verwendung von Mikrodatensätzen; Möglichkeiten und Wert dieses Ansatzes können in diesem Beitrag nur anhand einzelner Beispiele angedeutet werden.
Abstract
This paper looks back on the first ten years of empirical corruption research, which started with Mauro's seminal paper in 1995. The previous theoretical discussion did not reach unanimous conclusions on whether corruption is harmful or not; the arguments are briefly sketched. International cross-sectional studies resolved the issue and provided clear evidence on negative macroeconomic and social effects of corruption.
The same method has been applied in order to disentangle the causes of corruption, also suggesting or evaluating counter-measures. Results are less clear here. Finally I report on a trend towards the use of micro data sets in recent empirical corruption research
