Abstract

Purpose

This study, which is a cross-sectional survey, aims to investigate health-care academics, clinicians and students’ perspectives of health-care simulation-based learning (SBL) and extended reality (XR) haptics use within health-care education. Participants’ views regarding the application, barriers and facilitators of SBL and XR haptics were explored.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors conducted an online international cross-sectional survey of 178 participants.

Findings

The survey found high health-care SBL use (n = 97, 55.1%) but low awareness (n = 48, 27.3%) or prior use of XR haptics (n = 14, 7.9%). Participants expressed interest in XR haptic technology emphasising its potential in SBL, particularly for understanding anatomy and physiology, enhancing clinical reasoning and consultation and practical skills.

Research limitations/implications

Whilst there was interest in XR haptics, few participants described previous experience of using this technology in SBL. A large percentage of the participants were UK-based. Most participants were from a nurse or physiotherapy professional background.

Practical implications

XR haptics is a developing technology for SBL in health-care education. Whilst there was clear interest from survey participants, further research is now required to develop and evaluate the feasibility of using this technology in health-care education.

Originality/value

Health-care students, educators and clinicians views on XR haptics have not previously been explored in the development and application of this technology. The findings of this survey will inform the development of XR learning scenarios that will be evaluated for feasibility in health-care SBL.

Abstract

Some misconception appears to have been caused in certain districts by the issue of a circular by the Local Government Board, dated December 12, 1905, and addressed to the Clerks and Town Clerks of counties and boroughs. In many cases the letter in question has been forwarded to the Public Analysts, who, seeing it for the first time, naturally imagine that it imposes fresh duties on them, and that the Public Analyst is to collect and tabulate the details with regard to prosecutions and fines.

Abstract

An appeal under the Food and Drugs Acts, reported in the present number of the BRITISH FOOD JOURNAL, is an apt illustration of the old saying, that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. In commenting upon the case in question, the Pall Mall Gazette says: “The impression among the great unlearned that the watering of the morning's milk is a great joke is ineradicable; and there is also a common opinion among the Justice Shallows of the provincial bench that the grocer who tricks his customers into buying coffee which is 97 per cent. chicory is a clever practitioner, who ought to be allowed to make his way in the world untrammelled by legal obstructions. But the Queen's Bench have rapped the East Ham magistrates over the knuckles for convicting without fining a milkman who was prosecuted by the local authority, and the case has been sent back in order that these easygoing gentlemen may give logical effect to their convictions.”

Abstract

Purpose

This paper seeks to document the initial attempt to effect interoperation between a virtual (distributed) union catalogue of bibliographical records and a centralised catalogue of archival collection descriptions. Its specific purpose is to discuss the proposed technical solution and the anticipated usage and usability of the resultant service.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper's research subjects were the M25 Consortium's InforM25 union catalogue and the Archives in London and the M25 Area's dual AIM25 databases. The architectural model to effect their interoperation utilised the Z39.50 (information‐retrieval protocol) functionality of the two services plus the latter's separate web application database.

Findings

Two core findings are reported. First, that technical interoperability between the Z39.50 elements of the nascent system was successfully achieved. Second, however, that semantic interoperability was significantly impaired by inconsistencies in the interpretation and processing of search types by the two AIM25 databases.

Research limitations/implications

This exploratory research project was concluded in 2003. Since then, what might be termed the next‐generation Z39.50 protocol, Search & Retrieve Web Service (SRW), has been developed. The paper would suggest that the interoperation of InforM25 and AIM25 forms a test‐bed application scenario for SRW.

Practical implications

Regardless of which information‐retrieval protocol is used, a model for controlling semantic interoperability will be an essential requirement. It is recommended that this model be derived from the ISO‐registered Bath Profile.

Originality/value

This paper reiterates the central importance of the need to achieve semantic interoperability in distributed search environments, and should therefore be of interest to those concerned with the funding and creation of any such regional, national or international initiatives.
