Using Enquiry Based Learning to Create a Blended Academic Skills Development ...cilass.slideshare
For a number of years Academic Skills modules had been delivered to campus-based students in a blended mode. However the designs had not been able to fully engage students in a module that was seen as of little or no relevance to their academic or future careers. Inquiry based learning was used as the basis for a redesign of one such module allowing for the inclusion of authentic and group-based activities. The poster will outline the design, delivery and evaluation of a module and how undergraduate students have been brought to an awareness of the importance of independent learning skills and their value in HE and beyond.

This paper develops the argument that students need opportunities to become designers or co-designers of their own processes of inquiry. With reference to current research and issues in design for learning and Web 2.0, it suggests that there may be value in developing new digital tools to enable students to take the lead in designing inquiry processes and in using design representations as resources for reflection and sharing with other students. Participants will have an opportunity to exchange perspectives and ideas on design for inquiry-based learning, and to respond to the view put forward in the paper.

Cognitive Behavioral Treatments for Anxiety
in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
A Randomized Clinical Trial

IMPORTANCE Anxiety is common among youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), often
interfering with adaptive functioning. Psychological therapies are commonly used to treat
school-aged youth with ASD; their efficacy has not been established.
OBJECTIVE To compare the relative efficacy of 2 cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) programs
and treatment as usual (TAU) to assess treatment outcomes on maladaptive and interfering
anxiety in children with ASD. The secondary objectives were to assess treatment outcomes
on positive response, ASD symptom severity, and anxiety-associated adaptive functioning.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This randomized clinical trial began recruitment in
April 2014 at 3 universities in US cities. A volunteer sample of children (7-13 years) with ASD
and maladaptive and interfering anxiety was randomized to standard-of-practice CBT,
CBT adapted for ASD, or TAU. Independent evaluators were blinded to groupings. Data
were collected through January 2017 and analyzed from December 2018 to February 2019.
INTERVENTIONS The main features of standard-of-practice CBT were affect recognition,
reappraisal, modeling/rehearsal, in vivo exposure tasks, and reinforcement. The CBT
intervention adapted for ASD was similar but also addressed social communication and
self-regulation challenges with perspective-taking training and behavior-analytic techniques.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome measure per a priori hypotheses was
the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale. Secondary outcomes included treatment response on the
Clinical Global Impressions–Improvement scale and checklist measures.
RESULTS Of 214 children initially enrolled, 167 were randomized, 145 completed treatment,
and 22 discontinued participation. Those who were not randomized failed to meet eligibility
criteria (eg, confirmed ASD). There was no significant difference in discontinuation rates
across conditions. Randomized children had a mean (SD) age of 9.9 (1.8) years; 34 were
female (20.5%). The CBT program adapted for ASD outperformed standard-of-practice CBT
(mean [SD] Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale score, 2.13 [0.91] [95% CI, 1.91-2.36] vs 2.43 [0.70]
[95% CI, 2.25-2.62]; P = .04) and TAU (2.93 [0.59] [95% CI, 2.63-3.22]; P < .001). The CBT
adapted for ASD also outperformed standard-of-practice CBT and TAU on parent-reported
scales of internalizing symptoms (estimated group mean differences: adapted vs
standard-of-practice CBT, −0.097 [95% CI, −0.172 to −0.023], P = .01; adapted CBT vs TAU,
−0.126 [95% CI, −0.243 to −0.010]; P = .04), ASD-associated social-communication

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

There is no significant difference
between the scores assigned by the

The correlation indicators (r=0.69,

among the different evaluators.
For the internal consistency of
