Summary: This study aimed to explore the factors associated with higher education students' learning outcomes in emergency remote teaching environments during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study analyzed data from 9418 students in 41 countries and identified six factors, such as satisfaction with course organization and computer skills, that significantly influenced learning outcomes. Eight student profiles were identified based on these factors, and a random forest-based classifier achieved a testing accuracy of 0.904. The study contributes to understanding both general patterns and individual differences in higher education students' learning outcomes and has implications for designing personalized interventions and support strategies in crisis situations.

Summary: Due to COVID-19 restrictions, students' direct patient contact was suspended. To address this, we revised our clinical addiction medicine curriculum to provide students with an overview of different clinical modalities. We implemented a multi-pronged approach including remote panels, online discussions with patients and recovery coaches, and remote opioid treatment trainings. Students appreciated the authenticity of firsthand experiences from patients and providers, but desired more personal interaction with patients and providers.

Summary: Digital elements are increasingly used in higher education teaching, but their actual use varies depending on the intentions of the lecturers. A quantitative survey was conducted to understand the beliefs and intentions behind this use. The results show that attitude, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control influence the intention to use digital learning elements, but there is a gap between intention and actual usage. It is crucial for teachers to be given the opportunity to become familiar with digital learning elements in order to effectively use them. Further studies should aim to understand the reasons for this intention-behavior gap.

Summary: This scoping review found that Universal Design for Learning (UDL) has not been formally applied in healthcare education, but there are teaching methods in anatomy curricula that align with UDL. Further research is needed regarding the impact of UDL on student motivation to learn anatomy in medical, dental, OT and SLT programs.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency differences between eccentric and concentric contractions of the multifidus and longissimus muscles during the flexion-relaxation test in healthy untrained participants. The findings showed that eccentric contractions had higher intensity in lower frequency bands, while concentric contractions had higher intensity in higher frequency bands. These spectral characteristics may provide important reference for the pathophysiological adaptations of paravertebral muscle contraction.

Summary: Clinical education is crucial in dental school curriculum and assessment plays a fundamental role in the teaching-learning process. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical competencies and skills of undergraduate dentistry students in Oral Radiology using the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), both in-person and virtually (VOSCE). The reliability of both OSCE and VOSCE was considered substantial and almost perfect respectively. The results showed that OSCE was effective in evaluating clinical competencies and skills in Oral Radiology, with a limitation in evaluating technical skills in the online method.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, online teaching replaced face-to-face classes for pre-clerkship medical education. This study found that students' academic performance in non-lecture physiology topics was lower with online teaching compared to traditional on-site teaching. However, students still preferred online learning and suggested that medical teachers should incorporate more interactive elements into online classes.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of fatigue on the internal and external load variables determining power profile in cyclists. The results showed that the fatigued condition resulted in decreased power output and cadence in all test durations, without differences in torque. Moreover, the decrease in lactate levels was observed in longer efforts when a fatigue protocol had previously been conducted. The findings suggest that fatigue has a stronger effect on power in shorter efforts and is more closely related to a decrease in cadence rather than torque.
