Advancing gender equity in medicine
[…]
The problem of gender inequity in medical leadership is not the result of too few candidates who are not men with the appropriate experience and training to fulfill leadership roles, nor can it be explained by merely suggesting that different genders do not have the same aspirations as men. Gender inequity is largely underpinned by socially constructed gender norms, roles and relations. For example, gender roles explain why female clinicians with children spend 100.2 minutes more per day on household activities and child care than their male counterparts. This makes it more challenging for female clinicians with children to get ahead. Gender norms explain why more men are given leadership opportunities and have stronger letters of reference than other genders. Furthermore, gender relations explain why men have fewer consequences for uncivil behaviour or for harassment in the workplace compared with other genders. A recent observational study of operating room culture evaluated the prevalence and predictors of exposure to disruptive behaviour in the operating room. Disruptive behaviour was described as a range of unacceptable workplace behaviours, including incivility, bullying and harassment. A further definition provided is “interpersonal behaviour (i.e., directed toward others or occurring in the presence of others) that results in a perceived threat to victims and/or witnesses and violates a reasonable person’s standard of respectful behaviour.” The study found that clinicians who are women report more exposure to disruptive behaviour and are substantially less confident or empowered to take action to address incivility in their hospital and university settings. Gender and sexual harassment may be associated with environments that exhibit gender inequity in pay, opportunity and promotion. Disruptive behaviour and overt harassment likely endure within our medical institutions because the offenders are often considered invaluable to the organization for their stature, leadership, productivity or reputation, and are largely not held unaccountable for their actions, which further amplifies gender inequities.
Ensuring gender equity in medicine is an issue of justice and rights. Having more physicians who are women and more women in health policy leadership also appears to enhance the provision of high-quality patient care. Large, well-conducted observational studies have shown that patients of female clinicians experience better quality of care for diabetes, and significantly lower rates of mortality, hospital readmissions and emergency department visits than those treated by male clinicians. One study considered that reasons for this may include that women spend more time with their patients, are more patient-centred in their approach and provide more evidence-based care. Two recent opinion pieces discuss research showing that female representation on corporate boards, such as hospital boards, results in more socially thoughtful decisions and less corruption. Without gender equity, we risk extinguishing creative solutions to complex health problems and, most importantly, limiting patient access to the best care.

Online Education and Its Effective Practice: A Research Review
By: Anna Sun, Xiufang Chen
Online education is here to stay and grow. The review of its history clearly shows that online education has developed rapidly, mostly as a result of Internet connectivity, advanced technology, and a massive market. It has evolved from 19th century correspondence programs to the 21st century’s vibrant and well-designed institutional online courses.
The fast development of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) has produced numerous benefits to education. Online education provides potential opportunities to open new markets for higher education institutions. Many adult learners may enjoy the flexibility when they have to balance work, study, and family responsibilities. The wide range of various technology advancements used by universities’ online programs may promote the interaction between students and instructors, and among students at large. Finally, the upgraded technology and software may allow instructors, students, and university administrators to collect data, feedback, and evaluation regarding their online experiences.
We can anticipate that online education will continue to increase its presence and influence higher education through a vigorous process of reshaping, refining, and restructuring. It is unlikely, however, to replace entirely traditional higher education, but merely to be an alternative. But, because of its flexibility and accessibility, online education is gaining in popularity, especially for people who are otherwise unable to obtain education because of physical distance, schedule conflicts, and unaffordable costs.

1. Hook Up the Drain Line. Depending upon your machine, you might have to hook up the drain connection to the back of the machine with a hose clamp. Sometimes, the drain connection is already installed. If yours is the latter, simply push the drain line into the drain line standpipe before plugging in the machine.
2. Test the Machine. Lastly, begin a test load to ensure the washer is working properly. When you begin the test load, check the water lines at all four connections for signs of a leak. Allow the machine to go through the full process so you can watch for proper drainage as well. Watching the machine carefully this first time can save you from a flood or maybe even a small leak that you may not catch right away.
3. Place the Machine. Using a dolly or a strong helper, carefully position the washing machine very close to the wall with the drain, hose outlets, and power outlet for beginning the process. 4. Plug in the Machine. Plug in the electric cord before you push the washer into the final position. Turn on the water lines.
5. Connect the Water Hoses. Then, connect the washing machine hoses to the water outlets behind the washing machine. Note that the outlets on the machine are "hot" and "cold." Keep track of the hoses so you can remember to hook them into the appropriate hot and cold valves.

Mental and physical health are interconnected. Social isolation’s adverse health consequences range from sleeplessness to reduced immune function. Loneliness is associated with higher anxiety, depression, and suicide rates. Isolation and loneliness are also linked to poor cardiovascular health and cognitive function:
A study led by an epidemiologist at Newcastle University concluded that deficiencies in social relationships are associated with a higher risk for coronary heart disease and stroke.
A study published in The Journals of Gerontology concluded that loneliness was associated with a 40 percent increase in the risk of dementia.
Links between social isolation and serious medical conditions are not fully understood, but ample evidence supports the connection. A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology linked social isolation with higher risks of premature mortality. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points to loneliness and isolation as serious public health risks.
Effects of Physical Distancing
Some effects of social isolation are specific to pandemics or other public health situations that require people to physically distance.
Loneliness and depression can go hand in hand with anxiety and fear about the dangers associated with the event that made physical distancing measures necessary. (???) Even people who are supportive of safetyrelated isolation and quarantine can experience frustration and irritability.

Games have been used as a learning tool for centuries. Chess was used to teach strategic (1) as far back as the Middle Ages, and the game of Kreigsspiel was invented in 1812 specifically to teach Prussian officers strategy. Beyond military strategy, the genesis of Kindergarten in the mid-1800s was Friedrich Fröbel’s ideas of learning through play.
The core concept behind game-based learning is teaching through repetition, failure and the accomplishment of goals. Video games are built on this principle. The player starts off slow and gains in skill until they’re able to skillfully navigate the most (2) levels. Games that are planned and designed well will offer enough difficulty to keep it (3) while still being easy enough for the player to win.
Game-based learning takes this same concept and applies it to teaching a curriculum. Students work toward a goal, choosing actions and experiencing the consequences of those actions. They (4) learn and practice the right way to do things. The result is active learning instead of passive learning.
Flight simulators are a perfect example of the (5) of game-based learning. Pilots commonly use flight simulators during their training. They’re given very specific goals and practice until they can accomplish them. The result is much more effective than sitting through lectures and theory.
