However, the influence of educating patients on these portals’ functionality on clinical outcomes, such as all-cause readmission rates, remains underexplored. Objective: This research proposal tested the hypothesis that educating a subset of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), on how to effectively access and utilize the functionality of web-based patient portals can reduce all-cause readmission rates. Methods: We performed a prospective, quasi-experimental study at Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, USA;dividing participants into an intervention group, receiving education about accessing and navigating “My Chart”, the Bon Secours Web based portal, and a control group, receiving standard care. We then compared 30-day readmission rates, patient engagement, and self-management behaviors between the groups. Data was analyzed using statistical tests to assess the intervention’s impact. Results: We projected that educated patients will exhibit lower readmission rates, improved engagement, and better self-management. The results of the study showed that there was a significant decrease in 30-day readmissions in the intervention group in comparison with the control group (22.7% and 40.9%, respectively). This reduction of 18. 2% of readmissions evaluated here for a trial of meaningful clinical effect is statistically insignificant (p = 0. 184). The practical significance of the intervention is considered small-to-moderate (Cramer V = 0. 20) suggesting that the observed difference has a potential clinical importance even though the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: These results imply that the proposed educational intervention might have a positive impact on readmissions;nonetheless, the patient’s characteristics that make him or her capable of readmission cannot be changed and are assessed by the RoR (Risk of Readmission) score. The potential impact of the intervention may be offset, in part, by these baseline risk factors. The study’s power may be limited by sample size, potentially affecting the detection of significant differences. Future studies with larger, multi-center samples and longer follow-up periods are recommended to confirm these findings.展开更多

Utilizing satellite imagery and aerial data, remote sensing allows researchers to assess the health and extent of mangrove forests over large areas and time periods, providing insights into changes due to environmental stressors like climate change, urbanization, and deforestation. Coupled with web-based platforms, this technology facilitates real-time data sharing and collaborative research efforts among scientists, policymakers, and conservationists. Thus, there is a need to grow this research interest among experts working in this kind of ecosystem. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive literature review on the effective role of remote sensing and web-based platform in monitoring mangrove ecosystem. The research paper utilized the thematic approach to extract specific information to use in the discussion which helped realize the efficiency of digital monitoring for the environment. Web-based platforms and remote sensing represent a powerful tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in the context of forest ecosystems. They facilitate the accessibility of vital data, promote collaboration among stakeholders, support evidence-based policymaking, and engage communities in conservation efforts. As experts confront the urgent challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation, leveraging technology through web-based platforms is essential for fostering a sustainable future for the forests of the world.展开更多

文摘In the context of modern holistic education,integrating“ideological and political education”into specialized courses is a new requirement for professional teaching.In order to seamlessly integrate ideological education into academic disciplines through subtle influence,it is essential to identify and design suitable ideological elements.Based on the interdisciplinary nature of chemical engineering curricula,this paper focuses on core socialist values,patriotic sentiment,professional ethics,and the spirit of scientific innovation.It identifies key ideological elements such as“a strong chemical industry makes a strong nation”and“patriotism and maritime power,”analyzes their manifestations of value,and explores their relevance and significance in ideological education across different chemical engineering courses.
文摘Rural education in China faces significant challenges,including limited resources,declining student enrollment,and frequent school closures.This paper examines the educational leadership and management strategies employed by Simin Primary School,a century-old rural institution in Zhuji City,which has successfully revitalized its community and attracted students through the innovative practice of nature education.By leveraging local cultural and environmental resources,the school has established a sustainable model for small rural schools.
文摘This study explores the cultural and value foundations of the educational goals of higher education in Kazakhstan and China.Based on the historical development and cultural traditions of the two countries,this study compares the similarities and differences of the educational goals of the two countries through qualitative literature content analysis.Both countries have taken“modernization and internationalization”as one of the core development directions of higher education development,but China’s educational philosophy is rooted in Confucianism and socialist core values,emphasizing country and collectivism;while Kazakhstan,based on neoliberal orientation,draws on the European education framework,gradually integrates multicultural concepts,emphasizes national identity and attaches importance to students’individual development.This study uses Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and postcolonial education theory to explore how different nation-building narratives affect the educational goals of higher education.By comparing value systems,institutional logics,and student training models,it helps to understand how the educational systems of the“Global South”countries seek a balance between international standards and local cultural identity.It provides inspiration for the development of education based on culture and mutual reference under the global education trend,and provides a comparative education perspective for reform localization.
