“…This includes providing access to computers, software, and online learning platforms that can facilitate the delivery of vocational education and enhance the learning experience for students. For novice teachers, having access to these digital resources can help them stay up-to-date with the latest industry developments and incorporate technology-enhanced teaching strategies into their practice [14]. Another important aspect of AVET infrastructure is the availability of support services for both students and teachers.…”

This empirical study investigated the impact of advanced vocational education and training (AVET) on the skill development of beginning teachers in Hefei City, Anhui Province, China. A sample of 450 novice teachers from twenty AVET institutes in Hefei City participated in the survey. Quantitative data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed employing statistical techniques to test hypotheses and fulfill research objectives. The findings revealed that AVET has a significant positive influence on the skill development of beginning teachers in Hefei City. The quality of teaching and learning resources substantially impacts novice teachers' skill growth. Furthermore, the study found a significant relationship between the quality of infrastructure provided by AVET institutes and the skill development of beginning teachers. The results suggest that AVET and its infrastructure have meaningfully contributed to the skill enhancement of novice teachers in Hefei City, China. This research fills a gap in the literature by focusing on the role of AVET in the skill development of beginning teachers in the Chinese context. The findings have implications for policymakers and AVET institutes in improving the quality of vocational education to foster the professional growth of novice teachers.

IntroductionOver the past few years, multiple observational studies have speculated a potential association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), and osteoporosis. However, no consensus has been reached regarding their interdependence and pathogenesis. Herein, we sought to further explore the causal associations between them.MethodsWe validated the association between IBD and reduced bone mineral density in humans based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data. To investigate the causal relationship between IBD and osteoporosis, we performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization study using training and validation sets. Genetic variation data for IBD, CD, UC, and osteoporosis were derived from published genome-wide association studies in individuals of European ancestry. After a series of robust quality control steps, we included eligible instrumental variables (SNPs) significantly associated with exposure (IBD/CD/UC). We adopted five algorithms, including MR Egger, Weighted median, Inverse variance weighted, Simple mode, and Weighted mode, to infer the causal association between IBD and osteoporosis. In addition, we evaluated the robustness of Mendelian randomization analysis by heterogeneity test, pleiotropy test, leave-one-out sensitivity test, and multivariate Mendelian randomization.ResultsGenetically predicted CD was positively associated with osteoporosis risk, with ORs of 1.060 (95% CIs 1.016, 1.106; p = 0.007) and 1.044 (95% CIs 1.002, 1.088; p = 0.039) for CD in the training and validation sets, respectively. However, Mendelian randomization analysis did not reveal a significant causal relationship between UC and osteoporosis (p > 0.05). Furthermore, we found that overall IBD was associated with osteoporosis prediction, with ORs of 1.050 (95% CIs 0.999, 1.103; p = 0.055) and 1.063 (95% CIs 1.019, 1.109; p = 0.005) in the training and validation sets, respectively.ConclusionWe demonstrated the causal association between CD and osteoporosis, complementing the framework for genetic variants that predispose to autoimmune disease.
