The changing nature of research; the concept of the research lifecycle and researchers' career development; the key role of Information Literacy in helping improve the quality of research; the Researcher Development Framework; the 'Informed Researcher' model
Introduction: Journal Club helps to keep up with the vast literature and improves critical appraisal skills. As participation in journal clubs was decreasing a cross sectional survey to know the attitude towards journal club was conducted.
Materials and Methods: A questionnaire comprising of 16 questions was mailed to the faculty and post graduate students. Each most desirable response was scored 4 and least desirable scored 0.
Results: 47% faculty and 52% students participated. Majority were in favor of journal clubs being held. 90% agreed that journal clubs increase self confidence in delivering talks. 92% wanted both the faculty and students to present journal club, the duration of which should not be more than one hour and not more than 3 articles are presented. Majority felt department work load did not hinder journal club participation. Giving copies of articles being presented before hand, elaboration of materials and methods and increased involvement of faculty were suggested. Workshop emphasizing role of journal club has lead to an apparent increase in attendance.
Conclusions: Faculty and residents had a positive attitude towards journal club. Possibly decreased perceived importance of journal club and lack of push by motivated faculty led to decreased participation.

Introduction to the Visual Infusion Phlebitis (VIP) scoreivteam
The Visual Infusion Phlebitis score is a standardised approach to monitoring peripheral IV catheter sites.
The fact that it encourages site observation means that it also has an impact on other peripheral IV catheter problems such as dislodgement, infiltration and infection.
The innovation of this tool is the recognition of the visual nature of peripheral IV problems and the subsequent benefits of a visual tool to identify these issues early.
As health care workers we have a duty of care to monitor the condition of a patients IV site.
Failure to monitor IV sites is seen as failure in duty of care.
The VIP score is internationally acknowledged as a proven standardised tool for the monitoring of peripheral IV catheter sites.

Essential skills in health research and scientific writingDr Ghaiath Hussein
This presentation is of the training on "Essential Skills in Health Research and Scientific Writing" that was help in Soba Teaching Hospital in Khartoum, in collaboration with the Sudanese American Medical Association (SAMA).
It was a 4 days training given on a rate of one session per week. It was almost all skills-based hands-on training.
Day 1: The theoretical part was an Introduction to the Knowledge Management Cycle and where research fits in this model. The practical part was how to conduct an online review of literature
Day 2: The theoretical part was about the responsible conduct of research, and scientific misconduct, with focus on plagiarism. The practical part included the installation and the use of Reference Manager, including how to import the references found in the LR (given in session 1) in a database in the Reference Manager software.
Day 3: The theoretical part covered the basics of scientific writing in English. The practical part included writing, and re-writing some pieces, using the provided phrasebanks and verbs 'cheat-sheets'.
Day 4 was on the writing for publication, including detailed description of the peer-review publication model and how it works. We also touched very briefly, due to time constraints, to an overview and two examples of ethical issues in research. The practical part included writing an effective cover Letter to the editor, choosing proper manuscript title, and writing an informed consent.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Procedures
9. EBP LIMITATIONS
• Evidence
– Body of research varies in quantity and quality
• Implementation
– Time
– Lack of knowledge and skills
– Lack of incentives
– Organizational culture
• Measurement of outcomes
12. JGH Psychiatry Nurses Journal Club
• Monthly meetings
• Over 60% participation rate
• 2 nurse coordinators / club facilitators
• Topics chosen by the group
• Presenter: volunteer basis
• Article selected by presenter with nurse coordinator
13. LIBRARIAN’S ROLE
• Collaborator
• Search the literature
• Present “vignettes”
• Reflective Observer
• No influence on choice of topic or choice of article to
discussed
14. OBSERVATIONS
• Nurses driven process
• Questions asked: general not specific
• Information chosen : reviews, reference
• Preference: summarized and concrete applications
• Some difficulty with computer and searching skills
• Some difficulty: research methodologies and critical
appraisal
Enthusiasm for learning
Engaged in discussions
15. REFLECTION
• Evaluate the gap
• Is the group ready for searching , critically
assessing and integrating the research into
practice?
– Knowledge, skills, values
• Re-evaluate the pertinence of journal club as a
learning tool (blind spot)
16. LITERATURE SEARCH : NURSES AND
INFORMATION SEEKING
• Information seeking behavior, O’Leary (2011)
– Routine vs non-routine
– Colleagues rather than searching literature for answers
– Prepackaged information
• Low research uptake Estabrooks (2003), Squires (2011)
- Contextual factors significant
- No clear interventions to increase research utilization
• Readiness of nurses for EBP: Pravikoff, Tanner, Pierce,
(2005)
– Low use of bibliographic databases and hospital libraries
– Greatest barrier to using evidence is “lack of value for
research in practice”
17. METHODS: SURVEY
Modeled on Pravikoff (2005) (93 points)
8 questions with sub-questions (39 points)
1. Knowledge of EBP and attitudes (values)
2. Information needs and Information Sources
3. Perceived Top Three Barriers and Facilitators for EBP
20 participants 65% response rate
21. RESULTS: PERCEIVED KNOWLEDGE
RELATIVE TO RESEARCH
70%
never involved in research
67 %
somewhat knowledgeable
of EBP and processes
50%
somewhat knowledgeable in
interpreting research results and
assessing quality
23%
evaluated research reports
28. DISCUSSION: Findings
• Findings reflect those of larger studies:
– Low use of resources
– Preference for summarized information
• Readiness for Evidence Based Practice?
– Lack of value for research
– Need for information skills
– Need for a role model and mentor
• nurse educator trained in EBP
– Need for organizational support
29. DISCUSSION: Limitations
• Survey limitations
• Survey tool
• Small data set
• Correlation
• Limited access to original research
questionnaires
• Blindspot: assessing journal club as a method
31. Way forward:
• Re-evaluate educational objectives and methods
• Curriculum for information literacy
• Content drives the format:
• Journal club format – at a later stage
• Immediate relevance of teaching
32. CONCLUSION: Journal Club, Tool of Change ?
• Readiness for journal club at your institution?
• Facilitating factors ?
• Limiting factors?
• What will be your role?
