BACKGROUND Drug abuse is now-a-days one of the gravest social harms. Recent years have experienced a drastic rise in drug abuse among school and university students. Thus, the need for special attention to the issue is deemed important. The present study was conducted with the aim of assessing the impact of life skills training on promotion of drug abuse preventive behaviors. METHODS This fie...

INTRODUCTION There is paucity in the research on transfer validity of arthroscopic simulator training. The aim of this article is to determine whether skills derived from arthroscopic simulation are transferrable to the operating theatre and retained over time. METHODS A systematic review with rigorous criteria to identify the highest level of evidence available was carried out. The studies w...

Surgically complex procedures require a balance of knowledge, surgical skill, and experience with appropriate ongoing surgical volume and monitoring of outcomes and adverse events. Sacrocolpopexy has the potential to improve patient outcomes. These guidelines are meant to provide guidance for privileging and credentialing of physicians planning to implement or continue to use this procedure in ...

One skill that students can develop through the mathematics learning process in classroom is problem solving skill. Polya said one of four steps was planning. In planning step, there a strategy be used by to solve problem. This qualitative research aimed analyze third grade junior high school student's algebraic The subjects this were three with ability and medium ability. data collected using ...

Traditionally, there have been two large obstacles faced in attempting to apply AI techniques to games and other virtual environments. The first obstacle is the gap between the largely declarative representations used by many AI techniques and the largely procedural approaches used in virtual environments. The second obstacle is the gap between the skill sets and knowledge bases of the two doma...

Using process evaluation data, this paper compares the "recovery" planning process of the social model programs with the "treatment" planning process in a comparison medical model program. We consider how the planning process is actually conducted, the role of staff versus clients in the planning process, and how the implementation of the planning process is monitored and evaluated at the progr...

With this PCell wrapper, MGEN layout generators appear like usual SKILL based PCells within DF II. A wrapper PCell must be created for each layout generator. The wrapper PCells just differ in the parameters declarations and the corresponding construction of the layout generator command line. The MGEN environment creates the wrapper PCells automatically. mgenlayoutcds mostran model=nreg w=1u l=1...

Improvements in motor sequence learning come about via goal-based learning of the sequence of visual stimuli and muscle-based learning of the sequence of movement responses. In young adults, consolidation of goal-based learning is observed after intervals of sleep but not following wake, whereas consolidation of muscle-based learning is greater following intervals with wake compared to sleep. W...
