Literacy And Competency In Thai Education : A Crosswalk Framework For Curriculum Design And Assessment, Wichai Sawekngam

Journal of Education Studies

This article aims to analyze and position the relationship between literacy and competency in the context of Thai education. It employs conceptual analysis and purposive document synthesis based on relevant international and Thai frameworks, including PIAAC, PISA/OECD, UNESCO, ACRL, the Council of the European Union, DigComp, UNESCO-UNEVOC, PISA Thailand, and CBE Thailand materials on core competencies and learning assessment. The analysis indicates that literacy and competency are related but cannot be used interchangeably. Literacy emphasizes domain-specific abilities to understand, evaluate, use, create, or communicate texts, data, media, symbols, or information in meaningful contexts. Competency, on the other hand, emphasizes the …

Robust Nozzle Calibration For Homogeneous Line Printing, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Current ground-printing technology uses a printhead equipped with nozzles to deposit ink onto a surface. Several printhead parameters, such as pressure and firing frequency, can be configured, directly influencing the printing result and image quality. Printing line weight is one outcome of this configuration and is particularly relevant for ground-printing robots, whose primary purpose is the printing of construction layouts on the floor. However, line weight may vary depending on environmental conditions, printhead lifecycle and health, floor substrate characteristics, and other operational factors. These sources of variability can make it difficult to achieve a consistent printed output across different deployment …

The Predictive Scoring For Dynamic Payment Routing And User Interface Adaptation, Sree Sitamahalakshmi Moguluru

Defensive Publications Series

In the field of digital payment processing, transaction routing systems can operate reactively by identifying performance degradation within a payment processor's network after user transactions have failed. A predictive payment orchestration framework can utilize a machine learning inference engine to generate a real-time authorization probability score for a transaction across multiple available payment processors. This score can be calculated using real-time telemetry signals from the processors and the specific metadata of the pending transaction. Based on the calculated scores, an execution engine can dynamically route the payment to a selected processor or signal a user-facing interface (e.g., a web application, …

Bmi-Perception Discordance And School Health Communication Profiles Among Us High School Students: Evidence From The 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Hoang Thanh Thu, Nguyen Khac Toan

Journal of Health Research

Background: Body mass index (BMI) screening is commonly used in schools to identify students at risk of overweight or obesity, but BMI alone may not adequately guide counselling when students’ perceived weight differs from BMI-based status.

Method: This cross-sectional secondary analysis used 2023 US Youth Risk Behavior Survey data from 17,814 students in grades 9–12. Survey-weighted estimates and logistic regression examined overweight or obesity, underestimation among students with overweight or obesity, and excessive concern among students without overweight or obesity.

Results: Overall, 30.63% of students had overweight or obesity. Among students reporting perceived weight, 53.04% were concordant, …

Cultural Orientation, Parent-Child Connectedness, And Student Mental Health Perceptions, Abigail M. Mattias

Master's Theses

An individual’s perception of mental health is likely shaped by multiple interrelated factors. Connecting research into mental health perceptions across racial groups and parental value transmission suggests that a strong parent-child relationship increases the likelihood of the child endorsing parental and cultural values. The current survey examined the following predictors of mental health stigma among 144 college students: cultural orientation (collectivist/individualist attitudes), cultural background (collectivist/individualist heritage) as mediated by perceived parental mental health stigma, and parent-child connectedness as moderating the mediation. As predicted, there were stronger links between parent and child mental health stigma when parent-child connectedness was stronger. The …

Scaling Nursing Immersive Virtual Reality Simulation: Multisite Outcomes And Lessons Learned, Cynthia Bradley, Carol Flaten

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Background: Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is shifting from an educational novelty to an essential strategy for preparing practice ready nurses. While programs increasingly adopt IVR to provide consistent clinical learning, there is limited guidance on how IVR impacts knowledge and clinical competence when scaled across multiple sites. By giving every student standardized complex scenarios, IVR supports competency based assessment while expanding simulation access for programs with limited infrastructure.

Purpose: Describe outcomes from implementing a competency based IVR sequence across six prelicensure nursing programs and a nurse residency, with emphasis on what supported successful replication.

Methods: Six nursing programs in large …

Leadership Starts Here: Bridging The Learning-To-Practice Gap With Competency-Based Education, Jihane Frangieh, Dorna P. Hairston

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

The purpose of this presentation is to describe how competency-based education (CBE) can be used to intentionally integrate leadership development into entry-level professional nursing education. Competencies are observable, measurable behaviors that reflect not only what students know, but how they apply knowledge and judgment in practice. When leadership competencies are embedded across the curriculum rather than treated as “add-ons,” new graduates are better prepared to meet the realities of contemporary practice.

Building on the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials, this work frames leadership as an expected entry-level competency rather than a skill to be developed only after …

The Impact Of Telemedicine On Pediatric Specialty Patients’ Access To Care, Barbara R. Medvec, Tamara L. Hill, John D. Knight

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Pediatric patient no-shows to specialty clinic appointments are a problem, with no-show rates as high as 50%. The limited number of pediatric specialty providers leads to longer lead times when rescheduling, further delaying care. One often cited no-show factor is inconvenient appointment access. COVID-19 offered telemedicine as an additional patient access method. In this study, we compared no-show rates before the COVID-19 pandemic with no-show rates during the pandemic and in the post-pandemic period to evaluate (1) the impact of telemedicine patient access on the overall no-show rate for pediatric ambulatory clinic visits and (2) the telemedicine no-show rate compared …
