A mixed-methods investigation of infant and young child feeding practices in rural Ethiopia: integrating insights from surveys, direct observation, and qualitative research [PDF]

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundOptimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, particularly exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first 6 months, are critical for child survival and development.

Guidelines: The do’s, don’ts and don’t knows of direct observation of clinical skills in medical education

Perspectives on Medical Education, 2017
Introduction Direct observation of clinical skills is a key assessment strategy in competency-based medical education. The guidelines presented in this paper synthesize the literature on direct observation of clinical skills.

Effects of the observation method (direct v. from video) and of the presence of an observer on behavioural results in veal calves

Animal, 2013
This study aimed at assessing the effect of the observation method (direct or from video) and the effect of the presence of an observer on the behavioural results in veal calves kept on a commercial farm. To evaluate the effect of the observation method,

Direct observation of a superconducting vortex diode

Nature Communications, 2023
A nonreciprocal critical current is known as the superconducting diode effect (SDE). Here, the authors use SQUID-on-tip to study SDE in a EuS/Nb bilayer and find that the stray field from magnetized EuS creates screening currents in the Nb, which lead to

Direct Observation of Paramagnons in Palladium [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2010
We report an inelastic neutron scattering study of the spin fluctuations in the nearly-ferromagnetic element palladium. Dispersive over-damped collective magnetic excitations or ``paramagnons'' are observed up to 128 meV. We analyze our results in terms of a Moriya-Lonzarich-type spin fluctuation model and estimate the contribution of the spin ...

Direct Observation of Josephson Capacitance [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2005
The effective capacitance has been measured in the split Cooper pair box (CPB) over its phase-gate bias plane. Our low-frequency reactive measurement scheme allows to probe purely the capacitive susceptibility due to the CPB band structure. The data are quantitatively explained using parameters determined independently by spectroscopic means.

Longitudinal resident coaching in the outpatient setting: A novel intervention to improve ambulatory consultation skills

Perspectives on Medical Education, 2020
Background Direct observation with feedback to learners should be a mainstay in resident education, yet it is infrequently done and its impact on consultation skills has rarely been assessed.

ROAD USERS’ BEHAVIOUR STUDY IN AREAS OF ZEBRA CROSSWALKS [PDF]

Transport Problems, 2021
Pedestrian safety on crosswalks is extremely vital in Poland since 2015, when the first study on road users’ behaviour on driver–pedestrian encounters in areas of zebra crosswalks were conducted.
