Study of Trainee Teachers and Their Lecturers’ Perceptions of Synergistic and Contradictory Factors, and How These Shaped Learning and Teaching in the University Activity System | Chapter 2 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 6

The goal of the study was to learn about trainee-teachers' and lecturers' perspectives on what happens in the university activity system, the synergistic and conflicting variables that exist, and how these aspects influenced learning and teaching. Sociocultural theories led the research, which also included activity theory and reflective practise. The study used an interview, document analysis, and a bio-data questionnaire, all of which were informed by qualitative methods. A priori codes from the study questions, activity theory, and interview protocol were employed in the data analysis. The themes of interest in the university activity system were trainee teachers learning theory expressed as teacher knowledge. Three groups of lecturers supported trainee instructors, each with a different specialisation that provided fodder for a possible synergy of teamwork. The teacher education programme was officially concurrent but educationally consecutive due to a lack of exploration of concurrent learning; the contextual factors present at the time of the study limited teaching and learning to general pedagogy rather than specialist pedagogical content knowledge; the contextual factors present at the time of the study limited teaching and learning to general pedagogy rather than specialist pedagogical content knowledge; the contextual factors present at the time of the study limited teaching and learning to general pedagogy rather than specialist pedagogical content knowledge Because of a lack of agentic action on the part of stakeholders - trainee teachers and lecturers - synergistic and conflicting elements tended to dampen learning. Finding inventive ways to use few resources to generate high-quality instructors is recommended in the study.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

Patients’ Perspective of Acute Post-operative Pain Management: A Multicentre Survey of Tertiary Hospitals in Maharashtra, India | Chapter 08 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 When postoperative pain is adequately controlled, patients' satisfaction and patient-related outcomes (PROs) increase. Understanding the patients' perspective is crucial since it supports in the formulation of improvement strategies. Because wrong attitudes and assumptions might block pain alleviation, patients' attitudes and beliefs are critical. As a result, a multicenter study of patients' attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and satisfaction levels with acute postoperative pain management was done in Maharashtra's tertiary hospitals. In addition, the responses were examined to evaluate if the Acute Pain Service (APS) resulted in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. A 13-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies was used to capture patients' experiences with postoperative pain treatment. The responses of 179 patients are included in the study. The findings revealed that 91.6 percent of patients experienced postoperative pain, with 75.5 percent
