Online teaching of inflammatory skin pathology by a French-speaking International University Network

INTRODUCTION: Developments in technology, web-based teaching and whole slide imaging have broadened the teaching horizon in anatomic pathology. Creating online learning material including many types of media such as radiologic images, whole slides, videos, clinical and macroscopic photographs, is now accessible to most universities. Unfortunately, a major limiting factor to maintain and update the learning material is the amount of resources needed. In this perspective, a French-national university network was initiated in 2011 to build joint online teaching modules consisting of clinical cases and tests. The network has since expanded internationally to Québec, Switzerland and Ivory Coast. METHOD: One of the first steps of the project was to build a learning module on inflammatory skin pathology for interns and residents in pathology and dermatology. A pathology resident from Québec spent 6 weeks in France and Switzerland to develop the contents and build the module on an e-learning Moodle platform under the supervision of two dermatopathologists. The learning module contains text, interactive clinical cases, tests with feedback, virtual slides, images and clinical photographs. For that module, the virtual slides are decentralized in 2 universities (Bordeaux and Paris 7). Each university is responsible of its own slide scanning, image storage and online display with virtual slide viewers. RESULTS: The module on inflammatory skin pathology includes more than 50 web pages with French original content, tests and clinical cases, links to over 45 virtual images and more than 50 microscopic and clinical photographs. The whole learning module is being revised by four dermatopathologists and two senior pathologists. It will be accessible to interns and residents in the spring of 2014. The experience and knowledge gained from that work will be transferred to the next international resident whose work will be aimed at creating lung and breast pathology learning modules. CONCLUSION: The challenges of sustaining a project of this scope are numerous. The technical aspect of whole-slide imaging and storage needs to be developed by each university or group. The content needs to be regularly updated and its accuracy reviewed by experts in each individual domain. The learning modules also need to be promoted within the academic community to ensure maximal benefit for trainees. A collateral benefit of the project was the establishment of international partnerships between French-speaking universities and pathologists with the common goal of promoting pathology education through the use of multi-media technology including whole slide imaging.

La subtitulación amateur: la subtitulación amateur de series online: el caso de Lost

Debido a su gran repercusión y rápido ritmo de expansión, resulta obvio que la subtitulación amateur se configura como uno de los fenómenos más interesantes y novedosos de los estudios teóricos y prácticos de la investigación traductológica. Por este motivo, el objetivo principal del presente trabajo es el de conocer y estudiar más en profundidad dicho fenómeno, así como analizar la calidad de estos subtítulos con relación a los profesionales a través de un análisis comparativo de materiales reales de la serie norteamericana Lost. Por otro lado, y a la vista de las conclusiones, también se reflexiona acerca del estado actual de la subtitulación interlingüística, así como de la viabilidad de llevar a cabo una modernización de la disciplina mediante el establecimiento, renovación y diversificación de nuevas y existentes modalidades, junto con las repercusiones académicas, sociológicas y profesionales que ello acarrearía.

Characterization of the freesound online community

There are many online communities with membergenerated and openly available multimedia content. Their successdepends on having active contributing users and on producing useful content. With this criterion, the community of sound practitioners that has emerged in Freesound is a successful case of interest to be studied. But to understand it and support it further we need an appropriate analysis methodology. In this paper we propose some qualitative and quantitative approaches for its characterization, focusing on the analysis of organizational structure, shared goals, user interactions and vocabulary sharing. We think that the proposed approach can be applied to otheronline communities with similar characteristics.

Destination image of Girona: an online text-mining approach

The main objective of this Master Thesis is to discover more about Girona’s image as a tourism destination from different agents’ perspective and to study its differences on promotion or opinions. In order to meet this objective, three components of Girona’s destination image will be studied: attribute-based component, the holistic component, and the affective component. It is true that a lot of research has been done about tourism destination image, but it is less when we are talking about the destination of Girona. Some studies have already focused on Girona as a tourist destination, but they used a different type of sample and different methodological steps. This study is new among destination studies in the sense that it is based only on textual online data and it follows a methodology based on text-miming. Text-mining is a kind of methodology that allows people extract relevant information from texts. Also, after this information is extracted by this methodology, some statistical multivariate analyses are done with the aim of discovering more about Girona’s tourism image

Die Positionierung der Nationalratskandidierenden 2007 : eine explorative Analyse der Antworten auf die Fragen der Online-Wahlhilfe smartvote

Die Studie präsentiert erste explorative Auswertungen zu den Antworten von über 2600 Kandidierenden im Rahmen der Nationalratswahlen 2007 auf den umfangreichen Fragenkatalog der Online-Wahlhilfeplattform « smartvote ». Untersucht wird, wie die Fragen von der Gesamtheit der Kandidierenden beantwortet wurden, welche Themen umstritten waren und wie sich die Kandidierenden von den Gewählten unterscheiden. Schwergewichtig beschäftigt sich die Analyse mit den Kandidierenden der vier grössten Parteien SVP, FDP, CVP und SP sowie der Grünen. Welche Positionen nehmen sie ein ? Wie geschlossen präsentieren sie sich in den einzelnen Fragen ? Wo bestehen grosse Gemeinsamkeiten, wo erheblicheUnterscheide und wie sind die Möglichkeiten der einzelnen Parteien einzuschätzen, sich politisch zu profilieren ? Schliesslich wird überprüft, wie gut die Kandidierenden zu ihrer eigenen Partei passen und welche Aussagen sich über die Zusammenhänge zwischen der Abweichung von der Parteilinie und der Herkunft von erhofften Panaschierstimmen machen lassen. Lors des élections au Conseil national en octobre 2007, plus de 2600 candidats ont répondu au questionnaire concernant l'outil de soutien au vote en ligne « smartvote ». Ce cahier de l'IDHEAP présente les résultats d'une première étude exploratoire, basée sur les réponses des candidats au questionnaire de « smartvote ». Les auteurs analysent les questions et les thèmes controversés. Ils se sont également intéressés aux différences de prises de position entre les élus et les candidats. L'accent est mis sur les candidats des grands partis, soit l'UDC, le PRD, le PDC, le PS et les Verts. Quelles sont leurs positions politiques ? Quelles sont les questions qui divisent les candidats d'un parti ? Sur quels sujets sont-ils du même avis ? Où se trouvent les points communs entre les différents partis ? Quels sont les blocs politiques qui se forment ? Sur quels thèmes les partis politiques peuvent-ils se profiler ? A l'aide d'une analyse multivariée, l'étude tente aussi d'établir si les candidats sont membres du parti politique qui représente le mieux leurs convictions. Le chapitre final discute l'influence du vote par panachage sur le positionnement politique des candidats.

Redes sociales online, género y construcción del self

Las Redes Sociales Online (RSO) son cada día más populares. Las últimas investigaciones destacan su relevancia en el proceso de construcción de la identidad de género, ya que se encuentran los estereotipos de género clásicos y modulan el bienestar psicológico de los usuarios. Debido a la carencia de estudios españoles, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue conocer los perfiles de los jóvenes en la red social Facebook en términos de estereotipos de género, de personalidad y para comprender qué relación tiene una determinada presentación con el bienestar psicológico. Participaron en el estudio 112 jóvenes con una media de 23 años. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la adaptación española del test TIPI (Oberst, Renau, Gosling & Rusiñol, manuscrito no publicado), la escala Redsocs y la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff (Díaz & et al., 2006). Los resultados indicaron que las chicas estaban más implicadas en las RSO que los chicos, y que en ellas quieren generar un perfil andrógino, ya que para su bienestar psicológico valoran positivamente poseer tanto características femeninas como masculinas. Se concluye que la lucha para combatir los estereotipos de género se libra en un entorno offline o face to face, ya que las RSO ayudan a controlar estas diferencias.

An international university network for online teaching of pathology in Frenchspeaking countries

Introduction: Building online courses is a highly time consuming task for teachers of a single university. Universities working alone create high-quality courses but often cannot cover all pathological fields. Moreover this often leads to duplication of contents among universities, representing a big waste of teacher time and energy. We initiated in 2011 a French university network for building mutualized online teaching pathology cases, and this network has been extended in 2012 to Quebec and Switzerland. Method: Twenty French universities (see & for details), University Laval in Quebec and University of Lausanne in Switzerland are associated to this project. One e-learning Moodle platform (http://moodle.sorbonne-paris-cite.fr/) contains texts with URL pointing toward virtual slides that are decentralized in several universities. Each university has the responsibility of its own slide scanning, slide storage and online display with virtual slide viewers. The Moodle website is hosted by PRES Sorbonne Paris Cité, and financial supports for hardware have been obtained from UNF3S (http://www.unf3s.org/) and from PRES Sorbonne Paris Cité. Financial support for international fellowships has been obtained from CFQCU (http://www.cfqcu.org/). Results: The Moodle interface has been explained to pathology teachers using web-based conferences with screen sharing. The teachers added then contents such as clinical cases, selfevaluations and other media organized in several sections by student levels and pathological fields. Contents can be used as online learning or online preparation of subsequent courses in classrooms. In autumn 2013, one resident from Quebec spent 6 weeks in France and Switzerland and created original contents in inflammatory skin pathology. These contents are currently being validated by senior teachers and will be opened to pathology residents in spring 2014. All contents of the website can be accessed for free. Most contents just require anonymous connection but some specific fields, especially those containing pictures obtained from patients who agreed for a teaching use only, require personal identification of the students. Also, students have to register to access Moodle tests. All contents are written in French but one case has been translated into English to illustrate this communication (http://moodle.sorbonne-pariscite.fr/mod/page/view.php?id=261) (use "login as a guest"). The Moodle test module allows many types of shared questions, making it easy to create personalized tests. Contents that are opened to students have been validated by an editorial committee composed of colleagues from the participating institutions. Conclusions: Future developments include other international fellowships, the next one being scheduled for one French resident from May to October 2014 in Quebec, with a study program centered on lung and breast pathology. It must be kept in mind that these e-learning programs highly depend on teachers' time, not only at these early steps but also later to update the contents. We believe that funding resident fellowships for developing online pathological teaching contents is a win-win situation, highly beneficial for the resident who will improve his knowledge and way of thinking, highly beneficial for the teachers who will less worry about access rights or image formats, and finally highly beneficial for the students who will get courses fully adapted to their practice.
