Interactive Learning Paper Model of Inguinal Canal

The inguinal region is one of the most complex anatomic areas of human body even though it has been the subject of great interest to anatomists and surgeons because of its clinical importance. The aims of the study are to: 1. provide a simplification and in-depth understanding of the complex and confusing inguinal canal anatomy. 2. incorporate time-effective method in learning. 3. provide revision for coursework at any time and place. This study took place during the 2008–2009 academic year. The anatomical diagrams were prepared with the Microsoft word 2007 and printed on three A-4 papers. The inguinal canal was constructed using ordinary scissors and glue. The efficacy of the model construction is evaluated by testing 10 questions regarding the anatomy of inguinal canal before(pre-test) and after(post-test) doing the construction. The 5-point scale questionnaire was used to elicit the students’ views on different teaching methods in our university. The questionnaire with free comments section was completed by 62 second-year medical students (response rate 60.19%). Ninety six students performed the construction with most completing it within one hour. Scores on the anatomy pre-test and post-test were compared. The mean pre-test score was 8.406/10 and the mean post-test score was 9.309 /10. It was found that there was a significant increase in post-test score (P.05) in the 5-points scale questionnaire. We concluded that the 3-D paper model provides the opportunity to learn and correlate the spatial relations among the inguinal structures in a short period of time especially when taking constraints of time and the availability of other resources into account. Moreover, this model is inexpensive and easy to construct and a valuable supplement to conventional teaching methods

The Relationship Between Teachers’ Demographic Profiles And Teachers’ Perception Towards The Internal Quality Assurance Assessment At Program Level In Two Secondary High Schools In Laiza And Mai Ja Yang Townships, Kachin State, Myanmar.

The purpose of this study was to determine the teachers’ perception towards Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) Assessment at program level and relationship with the teachers’ demographic factors: age, educational qualification, years of service in school, and academic rank in two Secondary High Schools in Laiza and Mai Ja Yang Townships, Kachin State, Myanmar, and to compare teachers’ perception towards internal quality assurance system according to teachers’ gender. Two set of questionnaires were used to conduct this study: Questionnaires for teachers’ demographic profile and Questionnaires for Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) Assessment at Program Level. 95% of the questionnaires were returned valid and data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r). The findings of objectives were that the teachers’ perception towards total internal quality assurance system based on fifteen components was at low level. Therefore, there was no significant difference between male teachers and female teachers’ perception towards internal quality assurance system according to teachers’ gender. There was no significant relationship between internal quality assurance system at program level and other teachers’ demographic factors. Since all the significant values were bigger than .05 at the significant level. The study recommended that school’s principals and board committee members should pay more attention to focus on IQA strategic planning and implementation process in order for promoting schools’ quality

A Study of the Relationship Between Teachers’ Perceptions of Their Leadership Capacity and Organizational Culture at the Basic Education High Schools in Thanbyuzayat Township, Mon State, Myanmar

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between teachers’ perceptions of their leadership capacity and organizational culture at the Basic Education High Schools in Thanbyuzayat Township, Mon State, Myanmar. The participants were 113 full-time teachers from Basic Education High Schools (No.1&2) during the academic year of 2019-2020. The researcher adopted the survey-High Leadership Capacity School Survey by Lambert (2003) and the survey-Organizational Culture (OCS) by Saravanan (2013). The collected data from each survey was analyzed by Descriptive Statistics, Frequency and Percentage, Mean and Standard Deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The study results indicated that the level of teachers’ perceptions of their leadership capacity was Moderate, and organizational culture was Positive. Consequently, it was determined that the relationship between the two variables was found to be Significant, however it was interpreted that the relationship between the two was weak due to the correlation (r) value of .388**. The findings suggested that teachers needed to create more opportunities and time for personal reflection for they would help them grow in their profession. In addition, to build collaborative and participative culture which could increase a healthy workplace was also recommended and the school organizations should also upgrade the quality of materials provided to teachers in teaching and learning process as well as innovative technologies should also be realized in order to keep abreast with the 21st century education

Case studies in anatomy: upper limb

Anatomy, as a part of the medical school curriculum, has always been recognized as an essential foundation for the clinical sciences. It forms a basis for the study of the normal structure for the subsequent study of surgery, medicine, pathology and the other clinical disciplines. In recent decades, despite the decrease in the number of hours students spend in an anatomy course, teaching methods in anatomy have improved. The major shift has been towards integration of clinical problems into the anatomy course. Problem based learning (PBL) has proved to be a very successful method for teaching medical students not only in basic sciences but also in developing problem solving skills and interpersonal relationships. The specific objectives listed in the following pages are intended to encourage students to actively take part in deriving the answers from the cases. Each case study is based on the clinical presentations, in which the detail has been re-focused to draw attention to specific anatomical regions. This book, emphasizing the applied aspects can be used as a supplement to existing classes in Gross Anatomy. This suite of programs attempts to bridge the gap between pre-clinical and clinical medicine. This book is not intended to be a replacement for a good textbook. It has been constructed.....not to save the student from taking the trouble to learn clinical anatomy but to encourage the student to take the trouble and save the taking of unnecessary trouble. We hope that this document should serve as the benchmark for anatomical knowledge and Medical students (preclinical and clinical), Allied health science students (physiotherapy students) and those who study this book will find it worthful

Swin Transformer-Based Dynamic Semantic Communication for Multi-User with Different Computing Capacity

Semantic communication has gained significant attention from researchers as a promising technique to replace conventional communication in the next generation of communication systems, primarily due to its ability to reduce communication costs. However, little literature has studied its effectiveness in multi-user scenarios, particularly when there are variations in the model architectures used by users and their computing capacities. To address this issue, we explore a semantic communication system that caters to multiple users with different model architectures by using a multi-purpose transmitter at the base station (BS). Specifically, the BS in the proposed framework employs semantic and channel encoders to encode the image for transmission, while the receiver utilizes its local channel and semantic decoder to reconstruct the original image. Our joint source-channel encoder at the BS can effectively extract and compress semantic features for specific users by considering the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and computing capacity of the user. Based on the network status, the joint source-channel encoder at the BS can adaptively adjust the length of the transmitted signal. A longer signal ensures more information for high-quality image reconstruction for the user, while a shorter signal helps avoid network congestion. In addition, we propose a hybrid loss function for training, which enhances the perceptual details of reconstructed images. Finally, we conduct a series of extensive evaluations and ablation studies to validate the effectiveness of the proposed system.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure
