Faculty readiness for online teaching at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University during the COVID-19 crisis: a cross-sectional study.

Project description:Background: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the education sector around the world. In order to control the spread of the virus, eLearning practice has been introduced in Saudi higher education. Such online communication has become an important tool to narrow the teaching practice gap. This study assessed the characteristics of eLearning and distance learning and the inclination of Imam Abdulrahman BinFaisal University (IAU) faculty members in terms of skills, and managing classes and tests using online learning tools. Methods: A QuestionPro questionnaire with 22 questions on eLearning experience, training experience, and skills and knowledge in the educational process of IAU teaching faculty was conducted through the online university e-mail domain. The questionnaire was sent to the IAU's teaching faculty. The questionnaire's reliability was studied using Cronbach's α coefficient. The criterion value was statistically studied using the KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin) and Bartlett's test. The variables associated with the present survey model were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results: The study showed positive responses and readiness (skills and abilities) and the effectiveness of IAU's faculty members to perform e-learning activities during COVID-19. IAU faculty received a strong positive response, and the respondents were also impressed with and agreed on trainer knowledge, session management, communication and expertise on training topics. Conclusions: The positive response indicates the readiness of IAU to provide the necessary support (tools, information and updates) required for a successful online educational process.

Prevalence of partial edentulism and RPD design in patients treated at College of Dentistry, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Saudi Arabia.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of partial edentulism, RPD type, design, and components and their frequency of use by patients at the prosthodontic clinics of the College of Dentistry, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The prepared surveys, laboratory authorization forms, and images of the RPD metal frameworks on casts were used for data collection. Two calibrated investigators studied the digital photographs to identify the Kennedy classification, type of RPD, major connector, clasp assembly, and other details. Data was collected and analyzed statistically. The results showed that the most common class of partial edentulism was Kennedy class I, whereas class IV was the least (p < 0.001). Sixty two percent of fabricated RPDs had metal frameworks, whereas 37.2% were frameless. RPI was the most frequently used clasp assembly (38.9%), a significant finding in Kennedy class I(p < 0.01). The maxillary anteroposterior palatal strap and mandibular lingual plate were the most commonly used major connectors, at 41.2% and 60.8%, respectively. Conclusions: Simple RPD design that accomplishes the treatment objectives as well as proper communication with a well-trained dental technician would promote the success of RPDs.

Ongoing measles outbreaks in Romania, March 2023 to August 2023.

Project description:Measles cases have recently been increasing in Romania, with 460 confirmed cases by August 2023. From March 2023, measles cases increased, and outbreaks were recorded in Cluj, Bistrita Nasaud, Sibiu and Mures counties. New D8 virus variants were identified, different from the variants detected in Romania before the COVID-19 pandemic. We here provide epidemiological and molecular data on the current increase in measles cases in the context of the measles elimination process in the World Health Organization European Region.

Preliminary results on an autochthonous dengue outbreak in Lombardy Region, Italy, August 2023.

Project description:In August 2023, six locally acquired dengue virus 1 infections were detected in Lodi province, Lombardy Region, in northern Italy, where the vector Aedes albopictus is present. Four cases were hospitalised, none died. The viruses clustered with Peruvian and Brazilian strains collected between 2021 and 2023. This preliminary report highlights the importance of continued integrated surveillance of imported vector-borne virus infections and the potential for tropical disease outbreaks in highly populated regions of northern Italy where competent vectors are present.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Viruses from Multispecies Outbreak, Argentina, August 2023.

Project description:We report full-genome characterization of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b virus from an outbreak among sea lions (August 2023) in Argentina and possible spillover to fur seals and terns. Mammalian adaptation mutations in virus isolated from marine mammals and a human in Chile were detected in mammalian and avian hosts.
