An expert system was developed and included as a feedback stimulus component of an instructional unit that taught the production of graphics instructional materials. The expert system was used to help students generate their own feedback about the quality of their production projects. Implementation of the expert system raised questions about its effects on processing activities and learning. To investigate these questions, a total of forty-three students were assigned to either an internal (provided by expert system) or external (provided by an instructor) feedback condition. Internally-generated feedback, stimulated by the expert system, proved as effective as externally provided feedback in the learning of the production tasks and improved both the learning and application of evaluation criteria in a complex evaluation task. The internal feedback group were also more creative in their evaluations. Students who used the expert system held positive opinions about its use.

The paper discusses the issues of normative and legal regulation for creation of drug lists (List of Vital and Essential Medicines, List of Medical Drugs for Certain Categories of Citizens, List of High-Cost Medical Drugs (Seven Nosologies list). It also considers historical aspects, current state and planned changes of these rules. The stages of expertise, evaluation criteria, and rules of decision making in the process of inclusion of medical drugs (MD) into the lists according to the RF Government Decree no. 871 on 28 August 2014 and the project on the amendment of this decree are thoroughly considered. The proposed changes address the terms of submission of proposals for the inclusion and exclusion of MDs into the lists, and the terms of expert procedures. Changes in expert procedures (complex evaluation) of MD are proposed; a new stage (analysis of methodological quality of pharmacoeconomic studies and budget impact analysis) is introduced. Integral scales of clinical and pharmacoeconomic evaluation of MD are substituted with complex evaluation scales. The requirements for ethodological quality of pharmacoeconomic studies and budget impact analysis are created. A further stage of the development of the rules for creating the lists can be the performance of complex evaluation within a single expert body with the participation of expert organizations and leading specialists.

BACKGROUND Figures are an important form of expressing results commonly found in medical papers and make data easy to read and compare. The quality of graphs in original papers has improved in western medical journals. However, some figures fail to correctly express the results of a paper. Additionally, graph quality and application has not been assessed in medical journals outside western countries. OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency and types of data graphs used in Chinese academic medical journals and evaluate the quality of graphs used in original medical papers. METHODS A total of 783 papers were surveyed from the medical journals of five colleges and universities in Shanghai from 2011 to 2015. A cross-sectional study was used to analyse the applied status and graph quality. The evaluation criteria of graphs mainly included graph type, visual clarity, completeness, and special standards. RESULTS Most authors prefer to use simple charts, and bar charts with 95% CI were the most widely used. More than 60% of charts have problems with visual clarity, completeness, and special standards. Of 841 incorrect graphs, 10 (0.58%) graphs had three combined problems of graph characteristics, and 292 (34.72%) graphs had any two combined problems of graph characteristics. For detailed errors, the absence of variance description was the most substantial problem, especially in 2014 and in some academic medical journals. CONCLUSIONS Graphs are less commonly applied in the five university journals. However, the quality of papers using graphs was not properly controlled. Editors and journal quality management should strengthen the quality control of charts in papers. Authors should also avoid error bias and distorting their conclusions.

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a novel chest compression (CC) smart-ring-based feedback system in a manikin simulation. In this randomized, crossover, controlled study, we evaluated the effect of smart-ring CC feedback on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The learnability and usability of the tool were evaluated with the System Usability Scale (SUS). Participants were divided into two groups and each performed CCs with and without feedback 2 weeks apart, using different orders. The primary outcome was compression depth; the proportion of accurate-depth (5–6 cm) CCs, CC rate, and the proportion of complete CCs (≤1 cm of residual leaning) were assessed additionally. The feedback group and the non-feedback group showed significant differences in compression depth (52.1 (46.3–54.8) vs. 47.1 (40.5–49.9) mm, p = 0.021). The proportion of accurate-depth CCs was significantly higher in the interventional than in the control condition (88.7 (30.0–99.1) vs. 22.6 (0.0–58.5%), p = 0.033). The mean SUS score was 83.9 ± 8.7 points. The acceptability ranges were ‘acceptable’, and the adjective rating was ‘excellent’. CCs with smart-ring feedback could help achieve the ideal range of depth during CPR. The smart-ring may be a valuable source of CPR feedback.

OBJECTIVETo assess the quality of prenatal care in mothers with premature and term births and identify maternal and gestational factors associated with inadequate prenatal care.METHODCross-sectional study collecting data with the pregnant card, hospital records and interviews with mothers living in Maringa-PR. Data were collected from 576 mothers and their born alive infants who were attended in the public service from October 2013 to February 2014, using three different evaluation criteria. The association of prenatal care quality with prematurity was performed by univariate analysis and occurred only at Kessner criteria (CI=1.79;8.02).RESULTSThe indicators that contributed most to the inadequacy of prenatal care were tests of hemoglobin, urine, and fetal presentation. After logistic regression analysis, maternal and gestational variables associated to inadequate prenatal care were combined prenatal (CI=2.93;11.09), non-white skin color (CI=1.11;2.51); unplanned pregnancy (CI=1.34;3.17) and multiparity (CI=1.17;4.03).CONCLUSIONPrenatal care must follow the minimum recommended protocols, more attention is required to black and brown women, multiparous and with unplanned pregnancies to prevent preterm birth and maternal and child morbimortality.

Ducks are widely farmed poultry animals, because of its large population, the disease is also caused a lot. In avian influenza disease is an infectious animal disease caused by a virus and can infect humans. Avian invluenza is also a cause of decreased quality of meat and eggs, can even cause death in ducks. Disease in ducks is difficult to know because people have no prior experience. Communities and breeders find it difficult to take appropriate action on ducks affected by avian influenza so that they can be fatal. During 2012 - 2017 there were 1856 cases of bird flu in Indonesia. In October 2017 there were 3 cases of avian invluenza. Where 900 ducks died. From the explanation above, an expert system is needed to diagnose avian influenza. This system can help ordinary people and farmers who do not have experience in dealing with avian influenza. Disease data and symptoms of avian influenza that will be entered into this expert system can be obtained from interviews with experts and see references of knowledge about duck symptoms. So that this expert system can help in dealing with AI disease. In testing the validity, the calculation of the system manually and from expert diagnosis are the same. So that this application is feasible to use for the community and breeders.
