BackgroundThe purpose of this manuscript is to describe the PhenX RISING network and the site experiences in the implementation of PhenX measures into ongoing population-based genomic studies.MethodsEighty PhenX measures were implemented across the seven PhenX RISING groups, thirty-three of which were used at more than two sites, allowing for cross-site collaboration. Each site used between four and 37 individual measures and five of the sites are validating the PhenX measures through comparison with other study measures. Self-administered and computer-based administration modes are being evaluated at several sites which required changes to the original PhenX Toolkit protocols. A network-wide data use agreement was developed to facilitate data sharing and collaboration.ResultsPhenX Toolkit measures have been collected for more than 17,000 participants across the PhenX RISING network. The process of implementation provided information that was used to improve the PhenX Toolkit. The Toolkit was revised to allow researchers to select self- or interviewer administration when creating the data collection worksheets and ranges of specimens necessary to run biological assays has been added to the Toolkit.ConclusionsThe PhenX RISING network has demonstrated that the PhenX Toolkit measures can be implemented successfully in ongoing genomic studies. The next step will be to conduct gene/environment studies.
Vocational education is no longer just an education that prepares its graduates to work or become mediocre workers. Creative thinking skills are the basis of science that is very important for students. This research uses a quantitative approach and the population of this study included 106 Cadets of The School of Aviators in Indonesia. Sampling techniques taken were saturated sampling techniques and the samples were taken as many as 106 cadets. Data analysis techniques used were Structural Equation Model (SEM) with AMOS help (Analysis of Moment Structures) program. The results of this study show that critical thinking has a significant effect on decision making.
Penularan Covid-19 saat ini terus meningkat secara drastis di berbagai negara terutama di Indonesia. Rendahnya pengetahuan serta penggunaan APD akan memicu grafik penularan terus meningkat . Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah memberikan edukasi mengenai resiko penyebaran dan penularan virus serta langkah penanganan pencegahan terhadap Covid-19. kegiatan dilakukan dengan memberikan edukasi langsung ke masyarakat dan pemberian bantuan masker serta bahan pokok. Proses edukasi dilakukan dengan menunjukkan media penularan berupa poster agar lebih mudah dipahami dengan baik. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah terbentuknya pengetahuan yang baik dari masyarakat serta mampu menerapkan pencegahan Covid-19 serta melakukan kebiasaan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat dalam beraktifitas setiap harinya. Kata kunci : Covid-19, Sosialisasi, Edukasi
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
