Purpose: To assess the transparency of the residency application process through assessment of program for the period 1 November 2022 to 31 December 2022.

Methods: Four main categories of variables were studied: selection criteria, interview process, program priorities, and program requirements. Every program’s website was reviewed and the four …

A Cautionary Tale: Increasing Research In Ophthalmology Residency Applications, Stephanie C. Nguyen, Eric L. Wan, Reena A. Garg, Jay M. Lustbader

Journal of Academic Ophthalmology

The increasing emphasis on research productivity in ophthalmology residency applications reflects broader shifts in medical education and raises important questions about equity, authenticity, and holistic evaluation. As grading systems and standardized examinations move toward pass/fail formats, research has become one a principal way for applicants to distinguish themselves from other applicants. While this shift has increased scholarly output, it has also exacerbated disparities in access to mentoring, encouraged superficial research engagement, and may undermine diversity within the field. Evidence consistently shows that diversity among physicians improves patient outcomes and promotes equitable care, underscoring the need for the residency selection process …

A Public, Canonical, and Scientifically Anchored Declaration

I. Introduction — What This Is and Why It Matters

The history of modern science is a story of disconnection: of separating objects from context, atoms from waves, systems from observers, and meaning from measurement. What was once referred to as “aether,” “field,” or “substrate” became fragmented language or metaphor — useful in calculation but forbidden in ontology.

This avoided question — what is the medium of reality itself? — created not clarity, but blind spots. Physics became powerful, yet incomplete. It described behavior …

Ml-Based Pre-Transaction Nfc Application Prediction, Ahmad Rahmati, Roshan Pius, Amol Tuli

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a system and method for predicting a user's intended Near Field Communication (NFC) use case before a complete NFC transaction occurs. Unlike existing reactive NFC systems that rely on Application ID (AID) acquisition during a transaction, this system leverages machine learning (ML) models trained with diverse contextual data to anticipate the AID and further disambiguate between multiple use cases or applications for the same AID. This pre-transaction prediction enhances user experience and efficiency by reducing friction, saving time, reducing risk of accidental payments, and enabling seamless and intuitive NFC interactions, such as automatically presenting the correct pass …

Developing Digital Feedback Literacies In Language Teacher Education: Peer And Partnership Approaches In The Postdigital Age, Jennifer Schluer

Journal of Media Literacy Education

Critical media literacy needs to be seen as a central component of language teacher education, especially in the postdigital age. One underexplored dimension, however, is digital assessment literacy and in particular digital feedback literacy (Schluer, 2022a). Even though recent years witnessed a proliferation of digital technologies for feedback exchanges, pedagogical guidance for the use of digital feedback remains almost non-existent (but see Schluer, 2022a; 2023; 2024a). Theoretically, this paper connects the concept of Digital Feedback Literacies (DFL) to the frameworks of Critical Media Literacies (CML) and Postdigital Literacies (PDL). Empirically, it presents insights from research on digital peer feedback as …

We will present first results from a qualitative interview study with six English language teachers who participate in the DigiNICs project. The study examines how they perceive their usage of digital texts and communication forms a) in their lessons and b) in the context of in-service teacher training. The interview data was analysed using …

Media Literacy Meets Language Education: Fictional Science (Fisci) Promotes Skills To Identify And Refute Fake News, Stephan Schicker, Jürgen Ehrenmüller, Melanie Hendler, Victoria Reinsperger, Natalia Kubai, Lucia Miškulin Saletović, Bettina Steinbauer, Sabine Schmölzer-Eibinger

Journal of Media Literacy Education

This article presents the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the interdisciplinary didactic concept of Fictional Science (FiSci), which is positioned at the interface between media and language didactics. Based on reference concepts such as epistemic vigilance, inoculation, lateral reading, and media literacy in education, FiSci aims to promote secondary school students’ skills in dealing with fake news. While course 1 of FiSci (Activating the Fake News Radar) sensitises students to false information, course 2 (Verification of Information) teaches strategies for identifying false information that are also used by professional fact-checkers, and course 3 (Refutation) focuses on refuting false information.

Implicitly Developing Young Learners’ Digital And Media Literacy Through Technology-Enhanced Tasks In Primary Efl Classrooms, Andreas Kullick

Journal of Media Literacy Education

This article presents a research project that explored the perspectives of preservice and in-service primary English language teachers on the use of technology-enhanced tasks to support young learners’ development of oral communicative competence in the diverse primary English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. The classroom-based research involved the implementation of technology-enhanced tasks in three different projects in three different primary schools. The projects aimed to support young learners in developing their speaking competence in the target language. Data were collected through classroom observation, teacher training, videography of lessons, and participant interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse the …

Digital Texts And Diversity-Sensitive Foreign Language Teaching, Anne-Marie Lachmund, Manuela Franke

Journal of Media Literacy Education

Digital reading differs significantly from reading on paper, posing several challenges, especially for students learning a second or third foreign language. The complexity of engaging with authentic digital sources is further intensified by the diversity within learner groups. First, the objectives for developing digital reading proficiency in a foreign language are explored, identifying the skills necessary for competent digital readers. Building on these objectives, the paper then addresses the diverse needs of learners, taking into account neurodiverse students in diversity-sensitive teaching environments. The focus lies on the field-specific dynamics of digital reading, particularly those impacting learners with ADHD, dyslexia, and …

Beyond The Episode: A Case For Serial Literacy In Efl Education Classrooms, Julie Intveen, Tim Illigens

Journal of Media Literacy Education

Serial storytelling, characterized by its interplay of vertical (episodic) and horizontal (long-form) narrative structures, offers a unique opportunity for media literacy in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. This paper argues for the development of a serial literacy framework, a concept that expands traditional film literacy models to accommodate the distinct demands of serialized narratives. By using Inventing Anna (Rhimes, 2022) as a case study, the study explores how serial storytelling fosters engagement with themes of identity construction, ethical ambiguity, and transmedial storytelling. This paper elaborates on serial literacy, considering its implications within foreign language learning contexts. The study …

A Children’S Rights Approach To Critical Media Literacy In Language Education: Developing Children’S Agency In A Digital Networked World, Frauke Matz, Jeff Share

Journal of Media Literacy Education

Children are growing up in a culture of digitality, one infused in digital communication in and out of school (Faverio & Sidotti, 2024; Stalder, 2018). They are immersed in a digital networked world, which plays a significant role in how they develop their literacies and identities (Cannon et al., 2022) across languages. To help them participate as “active thinkers and citizens in their own right” (Wall, 2016, p. 86), educators could consider the potential of critical media literacy in language education as a pedagogical response to the commercial exploitation of information, and the liberatory potential of critical thinking and creative …

Navigating Resistance To Change In A Vuca World: Evidence From Turkey On The Role Of Paternalistic Leadership And Psychological Resources, Hürcan Tarhan

Arab Economic and Business Journal

Resistance to organizational change is a significant obstacle to achieving the advantages of transformation, especially in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous business environment (VUCA). While paternalistic leadership is relevant in cultures like Turkey, there is still limited research on how it affects resistance to change. This study examines whether paternalistic leadership, characterized by authority, benevolence, and moral integrity, reduces employee resistance to change, and how organization-based self-esteem (OBSE), workplace spirituality (WS), and leaders’ psychological capital (PSYCAP) moderate this relationship. Survey data from 468 employees in the financial sector were analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings indicate that paternalistic …

Saudi Heart Association Position Statement On Nt-Probnp For Cardiovascular Risk Screening In Asymptomatic Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Waleed Alhabeeb, Adel , Tash, Abdullah Mohammed Abdullah Arabe, Lamya Alzubaidi, Ayman Al Hayek, Mohammed Ridha Al Safi, Malak Atallah Almashali

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a rapidly increasing prevalence, posing a significant public health challenge worldwide and in Saudi Arabia. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among patients with T2DM, necessitating early detection and intervention to prevent disease progression. Elevated natriuretic peptide levels, particularly N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), are promising biomarkers for CVD risk stratification in individuals with T2DM. However, the integration of these biomarkers in clinical management remains limited.

Methods: Published evidence and existing guidelines/consensuses related to the use of NT-proBNP for CVD risk stratification in T2DM patients were …
