Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is very likely that many radiology residency and fellowship programs will adopt interactive videoconference interviewing for the 2020-2021 residency match cycle. Although video interviewing has become a common part of the hiring process for business, experience with video interviewing for resident and fellow selection has been limited. Advantages of video interviews over traditional on-site interviews include cost-savings to both applicants and residency programs, less disruption to an applicant's educational activities, and potential for training programs to access a wider pool of candidates. The loss of the casual interactions that occur during an on-site interview and the inability of candidates to evaluate training facilities and their surrounding environments in-person are among the obstacles posed by video interviews, but training programs can mitigate these challenges with enhanced website content and creative media solutions. Through a review of the existing literature and internet resources, this article recommends specific measures medical schools, applicants, and radiology residency and fellowship programs can take to optimize the virtual interview experience for all involved parties.

We examined recalled narratives of boys with fragile X syndrome with autism spectrum disorder (FXS-ASD; N=28) and without ASD (FXS-O; N=29), and compared them to those of boys with Down syndrome (DS; N=33) and typically developing boys (TD; N=39). Narratives were scored for mentions of macrostructural Story Grammar elements (Introduction, Relationship, Initiating Events, Internal Response, Attempts/Actions, and Ending). We found that narrative recall is predicted by short-term memory and nonverbal mental age levels in almost all groups (except TD), but not by expressive syntax or caregiver education. After adjusting for these covariates, there were no differences between the three groups with intellectual disability (ID). The FXS-ASD group, however, had significantly poorer performance than the TD group on the overall Story Grammar score, and both the FXS-O and FXS-ASD groups had lower Attempts/Actions scores than the TD group. We conclude that some form of narrative impairment may be associated with FXS, that this impairment may be shared by other forms of ID, and that the presence of ASD has a significantly detrimental effect on narrative recall.

In sports, children are typically grouped by chronological age. Age groups are ideal for matching children in terms of experience, cognitive, motor and social development and allowing them to be and compete with their same age peers. They do, however, fail to consider differences in the biological maturity. Strategies are being trialled in football clubs to counteract the effects of individual differences in maturity, such as moving players up or down the age groups and bio banding. These strategies result in players of mixed ages playing together, however there is very little research or guidelines for practitioners regarding the potential benefits or detriments within sport or how best to prepare and develop players in a mixed age group. This paper reviews the literature regarding mixed age groups for school and sport and provides a case study example from an Elite Premier League Academy on how to support players at both ends of the maturity spectrum.

In order to achieve the goals associated with the NextGen concept of Super-Dense Operations (SDO) in the terminal area, it is necessary to integrate more tightly strategic and tactical operations. New tactical capabilities offer the potential to increase throughput by enabling reduced separation, more effective sequencing, parallel approaches and flexible arrival and departure routes. The foundation for these tactical capabilities include advanced communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) functions that enable control based on more closely spaced 4D trajectories enabled by aircraft with tighter Required Navigational Performance (RNP) and RNAV capabilities. Especially in weather scenarios, however, use of these tactical capabilities must be embedded in an integrated approach to managing the traffic flows providing arrivals and departures through SDO airspace. This paper focuses on the development of Collaborative Traffic Flow Management (CTFM) strategies to deliver aircraft to airports and metroplexes (groups of geographically close airports) in a manner that enables effective use of advanced tactical operations making use of Trajectory-Based Operations (TBO) -using 4D Trajectories as a basis to support closely spaced, parallel approaches and departures and the optimization of trajectories to reduce fuel consumption and minimize environmental impacts.
