Sustained decrease in latent safety threats through regular interprofessional in situ simulation training of neonatal emergencies

Simulation training at trainees' actual workplace offers benefits over traditional simulation-based team training. We prospectively investigated whether regular in situ simulation training of neonatal emergencies in an interprofessional and interdisciplinary team could be used to identify and rectif...

Using Markov chain model to evaluate medical students’ trajectory on progress tests and predict USMLE step 1 scores---a

Background Medical students must meet curricular expectations and pass national licensing examinations to become physicians. However, no previous studies explicitly modeled stages of medical students acquiring basic science knowledge. In this study, we employed an innovative statistical model to characterize...

The role of motivational profiles in learning problem-solving and self-assessment skills with video modeling examples Lisette

In the current study, we examine the role of situation-specific motivational profiles in the effectiveness of video modeling examples for learning problem-solving and self-assessment accuracy in the domain of biology. A sample of 342 secondary school students participated in our study. Latent profile...

Understanding Latent Dirichlet Allocation with Gibbs Sampling by coding it from scratch. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA)

Understanding Latent Dirichlet Allocation with Gibbs Sampling by coding it from scratch. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a machine-learning technique that by the magic of many (many many) small calculations it can detect patterns in data and cluster documents, for example, into similar topics. ...

Could analysing personalised learning be better matched if physicians are first classified into competency groups? Using

Could analysing personalised learning be better matched if physicians are first classified into competency groups? Using latent class analysis to identify physician competency reveals four distinct subgroups in this cross-sectional study in China. The survey tool is large at over 100 items long but included...

"Startups are better at detecting and unlocking emerging and latent demand. But they often stumble at scaling their proof

"Startups are better at detecting and unlocking emerging and latent demand. But they often stumble at scaling their proof of concept, not only because they’re often doing it for the first time, but also because the skills necessary for creating are not the same as scaling." Eddie Yoon, Steve Hughes....
