According to Crozier (1989), it is illusory to try to motivate individuals: it is necessary to create the conditions for people to motivate themselves. Our study focused on characterizing the initial and final pedagogical intentions of primary school teachers undergoing training through the serious game T-Prof, a classroom simulation software. This...
The usage and safety of the Boost and Ease-off features in the CamAPS FX hybrid closed-loop system were analyzed in a retrospective analysis of real-world data from 7,464 users over a 12-month period. Boost was used more frequently than Ease-off, but for a shorter duration per use. Mean starting glucose was above range for Boost (229 ± 51 mg/dL), a...

Introduction: The 2016 self-assessment based on joint external evaluation (JEE) identified certain gaps, which prompted the need for additional improvement. This study attempted to address an approach to enhance preparedness using the performance management system’s components focusing on related areas in the JEE tool by the International Health Re...

This paper presents a simple 3 level DC-DC boost converter for fuel cell applications to boost voltage from 48 V DC to 210 V DC. The main advantages of this converter are its simple design, presence of a single switching element for easy controllability, compact size, low cost and high power density. It is basically a simple boost converter with 3 ...
We aimed to assess disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and treatment-related toxicity of two therapeutic strategies for treating bulky lymph nodes on imaging in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC): radiotherapy boost versus surgical debulking followed by radiotherapy. We performed a systematic review of studies publ...

Purpose We evaluate various approaches to target volume definition and boost delivery in patients with complete response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) who were treated by radiotherapy without a surgery. Materials and Methods A pathological complete response (pCR) was diagnosed in 21 of 27 patients included in “surgery de-escalation” prospec...
The goal of this project is to develop hybrid DC and AC wall outlets for an efficient, flexible power interface. A DC plug standard is also proposed to allow DC devices to be safely powered by the outlet with the correct DC voltage for each device. The primary objective is to create a power outlet compatible with the proposed DC plug as well as NEM...

Purpose The aim of this study is to identify pre- and intraoperative factors indicating the feasibility of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) during breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Materials and methods From January 2018 to December 2019, a total of 128 women undergoing BCS due to early breast cancer were included in this prospective observational...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized treatment outcomes for patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Despite supportive care with growth factors and thrombopoietin (TPO) mimetics, nearly half of the patients experience severe and prolonged cytopenias after CAR T infusion, which have become a major ther...

The optimal treatment of metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) in locally-advanced cervical cancer (LACC) is controversial. With the widespread use of modern radiotherapy (RT) techniques, it is become possible to perform dose escalation in clinically involved LNs. This study aimed to evaluate the oncologic outcomes of dose escalation to the involved LNs wit...
