Abstract Aims Laparoscopic surgery is technically challenging and assessment of competency is necessary to ensure patient safety and guide training. Existing tools of assessment are mostly subjective, with a growing need for objective credentialing. LapPass™ was developed by a UK-based laparoscopic society as an accessible simulation assessment tool. The aim of this study was to report on its development and preliminary findings of usability and validity. Methods LapPass™ consists of 4 tasks that test: bimanual dexterity, simulated appendicectomy, dissection and intracorporeal suturing. Participants were prospectively recruited from testing events. Online surveys were sent to assessors and participants to assess the usability, face and content validity of the tool. Options to respond were on a five-point Likert scale with ratings from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). Results LapPass was launched and offered to trainees as free-of-charge assessment tool. 31 participants and 12 assessors took part. The 1st time pass rate for bimanual dexterity was 19/29 (65.5%), appendicectomy 13/23 (56.5%), dissection 20/27 (74.1%) and intracorporeal suturing 6/19 (31.5%). The mean scores for participants’ usability and validity were 3.8 and 4.12 for bimanual dexterity; 3.96 and 4.37 for appendicectomy; 4.5 and 4.16 for dissection and 3.84 and 4.52 for intracorporeal suturing. Assessors' mean score of usability was 4.5 across all tasks. Assessors scored validity of bimanual dexterity 4.35, appendicectomy 4.42, dissection 3.71 and intracorporeal suturing 4.65. Conclusion LapPass™ is a an accessible objective assessment tool for laparoscopic basic surgical skills with preliminary data to confirm its usability and face and content validity.

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. The predictors of success on the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT®) were investigated by analyzing OT students' graduate-level course grades and their Occupational Therapy Knowledge Exam (OTKE) scores. The researchers found that pedagogy styles and success in foundational courses had no significant indication of overall first-time pass rates on the NBCOT. The best predictor of success on the NBCOT continues to be the OTKE.

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. This presentation provides OT practitioners working in the academic setting with an overview of the admissions process used by an OT program and the importance of criteria for admissions, primarily the Verbal Reasoning section of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE). A binary logistic regression was used to analyze the data to determine whether the GRE was a significant predictor of a first-time pass rate on the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exam. The results were significant (p < .00) for the Verbal Reasoning section. Primary Author and Speaker: Don M. Bradley Additional Authors and Speakers: John Luna Contributing Authors: Roel Garcia

The article deals with the problems of introducing of time, time changes and the time-place relations as well. Artistic time is distinguished by belonging of an artistic time to the past in the artistic text, and in epos texts as well. In such kinds of texts one can meet with the changing of situations and various forms of substitutions of grammatical time. Speech moment can be used in defining of criteria for the present, past and the future times in epos texts. And speech moment is being connected with the physical time. Grammatical time comes into effect as a result of time pass components of physical time changings of course. Key words: time, place, epos, artistic time, grammatical time

Age is not just a number as human body also ages as time pass by. The time passes our vision can also begin to deteriorate as a study suggests 82% of blind people in 39 million blind population are about 50 years and older. So the device suggested can help people to walk without support of others as it uses image recognition by machine learning and informs the user about the obstacle ahead. Such a way of using machine learning has already been applied in self-driving cars and it is quite effective. And also the device can help disable people who were born blind. The camera will be mounted on the user chest and Faster R-CNN will divide the live image into 3 * 3 grid and processes various object in a single grid and compares it with its own database. The algorithm can also calculate the distance from the user to the object like a chair and staircase etc. The device can also read the colour of the traffic lights and can tell the user when the light is green and when the light is red. This device can help many old as well as young people who are blind and reduce the travel difficulties by a large amount.

This reading of Jacques Roubaud’s Quelque chose noir explores how poetry helps the poet to grieve for his young wife and enables him to go on. The issue for him is how to begin living again, how to put an end to the deathly paralysis that immobilised him following her death. Analysis of the relationship to time in the poems shows that Roubaud is concerned not just to render the passing of time but to make time pass. Particular attention is paid to the structural anomaly of the four poems in the collection that do not have nine verses and the use of hyperbaton in order to argue that Roubaud’s concern is to interrupt the stillness, so that the ending of his wife’s life will not be the final ending.
