Learning Analytics Dashboards (LAD) provide a means to leverage data to support learners, teachers, and counselors. This paper reports on an in-depth analysis of how learners interact with a LAD. N=1,406 first-year students in 12 different study programs were invited to use a LAD to support them in their transition from secondary to higher education. The LAD provides actionable feedback about f...

OBJECTIVE Rates of resident physician burnout range from 60 to 76 % and are rising. Consequently, there is an urgent need for academic medical centers to develop system-wide initiatives to combat burnout in physicians. Academic psychiatrists who advocate for or treat residents should be familiar with the scope of the problem and the contributors to burnout and potential interventions to mitigat...

Abstract. We investigate large deviations for a family of conservative stochastic PDEs (viscous conservation laws) in the asymptotic of jointly vanishing noise and viscosity. We obtain a first large deviations principle in a space of Young measures. The associated rate functional vanishes on a wide set, the so-called set of measure-valued solutions to the limiting conservation law. We therefore...

Having its origin in theoretical computer science, the Kannan-Lovász-Simonovits (KLS) conjecture is one of major open problems asymptotic convex geometry and high-dimensional probability theory today. In this work, we establish a connection between study large moderate deviations for isotropic log-concave random vectors. We then Euclidean norm orthogonally projected vectors an ℓpn–ball. This le...

background and purpose: adequate evidence based medicine (ebm) knowledge and skills are required to provide up-to-date, high quality medical care to patients. unfortunately, achieving these skills and knowledge requires a prolonged learning process and constant exposure to ebm concepts. the adult learning theory holds the assumption that adults learn better in a problem based and collaborative ...

Dear editor Patients’ satisfaction has long been consideredas an important factor when gauging healthoutcome and quality of care in both developedand developing countries (1) and constitutes asubstantial indicator of the health care quality(2). Researches have shown that satisfiedpatients are more likely to develop a goodrelationship with the health system, leading toimproving compliance, conti...

This work is based on a bottom{-}up approach to the standard{-}model effective field theory (SMEFT), resulting in an equiprobable space of Wilson coefficients. The randomly generated coefficients SMEFT (in Warsaw basis) are treated as pseudo-data and, for each observable, corresponding probability density function computed. goal has been understand how large deviations from SM once scale and ra...

It was with interest that I read the paper by Hung and Duffett 1 reporting publication rates for pharmacy residents' research projects. Although I was pleased to find that the authors had cited my own paper 2 reporting a similar project concerning the disposition of research projects by medical residents at the University of British Columbia, I was also saddened and disappointed to learn that t...

OBJECTIVE The authors assessed the suicide rates of New York City police officers during a recent period. METHOD The authors reviewed death certificates of active New York City police officers who died from 1977 through 1996 (N=668); age-, gender-, and race-specific suicide rates among New York City police officers and the city's residents were determined. RESULTS The police suicide rate wa...
