The use of computer-based learning tools for teaching and clinical purposes: Interactive computing strategy for Iraq

Medical universities and teaching hospitals in Iraq are facing a lack of professional staff due to the ongoing violence that forces them to flee the country. The professionals are now distributed outside the country which reduces the chances for the staff and students to be physically in one place to continue the teaching and limits the efficiency of the consultations in hospitals. A survey was done among students and professional staff in Iraq to find the problems in the learning and clinical systems and how Information and Communication Technology could improve it. The survey has shown that 86% of the participants use the Internet as a learning resource and 25% for clinical purposes while less than 11% of them uses it for collaboration between different institutions. A web-based collaborative tool is proposed to improve the teaching and clinical system. The tool helps the users to collaborate remotely to increase the quality of the learning system as well as it can be used for remote medical consultation in hospitals

STRUKTUR NILAI LOKALITAS PAPAREGAN MADURA SEBUAH ALTERNATIF BUDAYA UNTUK SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR

Madurese people maintain the language and culture of Madura which serves as a symbol of pride, identity and as a means of communication. Madurese language as an oral discourse has a wide coverage area, on the other hand written literature and oral literature. Generally, the contents of paparegan in Sumenep Madura are merely biological but they contain clear values ​​in them. Based on the formulation of the problem, the purpose of this study refers to the description of the paparegan structure used in the District of Bluto. Structure is the relationship between the constituent elements in the overall arrangement. Structural theory addresses two problems, namely ethical and aesthetic problems. The approach used is a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques are carried out in triangulation (combined), data analysis is inductive, and the results of qualitative research emphasize structure rather than assumptions. This study sought to obtain empirical data and conduct a study of paparegan structures in Bluto District. Sumenep. The findings in the field stated that there were 3 forms of paparegan that were preserved, namely Karmina, Talibun and Saloka. Karmina is called paparegan (pantun) lightning because it only consists of 2 rows that render a-a. Talibun is a long type of paparegan with a very abundant number of rows. As for Saloka is paparegan which consists of a number of concurrent stanzas - connected if they are written, muted. Elementary School Students should properly study Paparegan culture which is rich in Madurese locality values ​​for future educational purposes

New families of q and (q;p)-Hermite polynomials

In this paper, we construct a new family of q-Hermite polynomials denoted by Hn(x,s|q). Main properties and relations are established and proved. In addition, is deduced a sequence of novel polynomials, Ln(. ,.|q), which appear to be connected with well known (q,n)-exponential functions E{q,n}(.), introduced by Ernst in his work entitled: (A New Method for q-calculus, Uppsala Dissertations in Mathematics, Vol. 25, 2002). Relevant results spread in the literature are retrieved as particular cases. Fourier integral transforms are explicitly computed and discussed. A (q;p)-extension of the Hn(x,s|q) is also provided

The Implementation of Ecoliteracy as a Learning Resource to Improve Environmental Care Attitudes in Elementary Schools

Ecoliteracy refers to learning outside the classroom by utilizing the surrounding environment as a learning resource. This study aimed to determine the steps for implementing ecoliteracy with nature as a learning resource in improving environmental care attitudes in elementary schools. This study employed classroom action research, involving 20 fourth-grade students as participants. This study was divided into two cycles, each of which comprised four stages. The instruments used in the study were the student's environmental care attitude observation sheet and environmental care attitude sheet, and the teacher's activity sheet. The findings revealed that the caring attitude towards the environment reached an average of 61%; 14 students (70%) were in the caring category and six students (30%) in the very caring category. The learning outcomes of Cycle 1 were four students (20%) who passed and 16 students (80%) who failed. The attitude of caring for the environment in the Cycle 2 increased following the implementation of ecoliteracy learning steps, as indicated by the questionnaire results that one student (5%) was in the caring category, and 19 students (90%) in the very caring category. Meanwhile, the learning outcomes obtained in the Cycle 2 were 15 students (75%) in the complete category and five students (15%) in the incomplete category
