Facilitating flexible learning by replacing classroom time with an online learning environment: A systematic review of blended learning in higher education

Higher education institutions are trying to provide more flexibility and individualization, which is mainly realized through the use of new technologies and implemented in online or blended learning designs. This systematic review aims to investigate the impact of replacing classroom time with an online learning environment. The meta-analysis (k = 21 effect sizes) applied strict inclusion criteria concerning research design, measurement of learning outcomes and implementation of blended learning. The estimated effect size (Hedge's g) was positive, although not significantly different from zero and the confidence interval [-0.13, 0.25], suggesting that overall differences between blended and conventional classroom learning are small, and, at best, very small negative or moderate positive effects are plausible. This means that despite a reduction in classroom time between 30 and 79 per cent, equivalent learning outcomes were found. Consequently, blended learning with reduced classroom time is not systematically more or less effective than conventional classroom learning.     

Covid-19: Emerging Considerations for Body Sourcing and Handling. A Perspective View from Nigeria

The current Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic has spread to about 220 countries of the world and has resulted in a significant number of deaths globally. Infections are still on the rise, and the impact on the global death rate could be devastating. There are fears over the likely impact of a large number of deaths on body sourcing and handling of cadavers for teaching and research. Historically, epidemics come with several challenges and have often led to some level of negligence of ethical practices and health and safety regulations associated with body sourcing and handling. The authors highlighted some emerging problems in this article, focusing on Africa and Nigeria in particular. These problems include a higher risk of coronavirus exposure for body handlers, shortage of cadavers for teaching and learning, a lack of standard regulations leading to unethical body sourcing and handling, and a lack of monitoring and collaboration needed for a well-coordinated Covid-19 pandemic response strategy. If these issues are ignored, the previous gains made in anatomical ethical practices may be destroyed. Some useful recommendations for policymaking geared toward prevention or curtailing these emerging issues have been instilled in this article.     

汇川H2U系列PLC之间RS-485通信的实现

主要研究了汇川公司H2U可编程控制器(PLC)的通信技术,实现了两个H2U系列PLC之间基于RS-485的通信,并详细介绍了PLC之间通信的硬件连接方式、通信串口参数配置、触摸屏画面的设计以及程序实现。所讨论的方法已在采用H2U PLC及辅助设备组建的"运动控制系统"课程的教学实验平台上进行了验证,可以拓展应用于多台H2U PLC之间以及其他设备与H2U PLC之间的RS-485通信实现,对工程应用具有一定的借鉴意义。     

Modelling the long-run learning impact of the Covid-19 learning shock: Actions to (more than) mitigate loss

This paper uses a calibrated “pedagogical production function” model to estimate the potential long-term losses to children’s learning from the temporary shock of Covid-19 related school closures. It then models possible gains from two mitigation strategies. Without mitigation, children could lose more than a full year’s worth of learning from a three-month school closure because they will be behind the curriculum when they re-enter school and will fall further behind as time goes on. Remediation when children return to school reduces the long-term learning loss by half, but still leaves children more than half a year behind where they would have been with no shock. Remediation combined with long-term reorientation of curriculum to align with children’s learning levels fully mitigates the long-term learning loss due to the shock and surpasses the learning in the counterfactual of no shock by more than a full year’s worth of learning. Systems need to begin planning now for remediation programmes, and as they do so they should build programmes and train teachers in ways that can continue to produce benefits beyond the period immediately following reopening.     

电子书用户使用意愿影响模型构建与实证

[目的/意义] 探究用户使用电子书意愿的影响因素，以有助于电子书产业走出缓慢的发展困境。[方法/过程] 以UTAUT2、使用满足理论为基础，从需求满足和外部情景因素两个层面构建影响因素模型，并将需求满足细化为内容需求、社交互动需求和休闲娱乐需求3个测量变量。采用问卷调查方法收集有效样本1 013份，使用AMOS21软件对模型进行验证。[结果/结论] 研究发现，需求满足、阅读习惯、价格价值、社会影响对使用意愿有正向影响作用，而激励措施对使用意愿有负向影响作用，努力期望对使用意愿的影响不显著，并依据研究结果提出促进电子书产业发展的建议。     

太极拳运动对老年肥胖Ⅱ型糖尿病患者神经肽Y的影响

目的：本文通过对老年肥胖Ⅱ型糖尿病患者血浆神经肽Y水平的对比研究，探讨太极拳运动对老年肥胖Ⅱ型糖尿病患者产生作用的神经内分泌机制。方法：选取老年肥胖Ⅱ型糖尿病患者16人，按自愿原则分为两组，一组为太极拳运动组(10人)，另一组为随意运动组(6人)。各自进行每天1小时，为期3个月的运动锻炼，观察锻炼前及锻炼后空腹、安静状态下的血浆神经肽Y(NPY)水平、血糖和体重指数等指标的变化。结果：太极拳运动组血浆神经肽Y水平下降，其中伴有高甘油三脂血症者6人，NPY水平下降；伴有高胆固醇血症者4人，NPY水平升高。而随意运动组血浆神经肽Y水平变化不显著。结论：太极拳运动对血浆神经肽Y水平的影响，表明了太极拳运动改善老年肥胖Ⅱ型糖尿病患者代谢紊乱的机制与其时机体神经内分泌系统的调节密切相关。

我国艺术体操集体项目艺术值加分分值偏低的现状分析与对策——2002年5A杯全国艺术体操冠军赛调研

采用比赛现场与录相观察、献研究、访问调查等方法，对5A杯全国艺术体操冠军赛集体项目A2加分分值偏低现象做分析，结果表明：独创性的加分是一个空白；身体动作使用的加分因难度不成立而不能给予加分的现象普遍存在；器械的使用加分因器械运用单调和与难度配合时不合规则要求而不能加分的数量过半；熟练性加分因抛器械高度不够，或接器械时未能达到规则要求而不能加分的数量达2／3，目前只有运动员之间合作的加分是我国集体项目A2加分中的主力。
