pH Scale02:41

pH Scale

68.4K
Hydronium and hydroxide ions are present both in pure water and in all aqueous solutions, and their concentrations are inversely proportional as determined by the ion product of water (Kw). The concentrations of these ions in a solution are often critical determinants of the solution’s properties and the chemical behaviors of its other solutes. Two different solutions can differ in their hydronium or hydroxide ion concentrations by a million, billion, or even trillion times. A common means of...

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Percentile

6.5K
A percentile indicates the relative standing of a data value when data are sorted into numerical order from smallest to largest. It represents the percentages of data values that are less than or equal to the pth percentile. For example, 15% of data values are less than or equal to the 15th percentile.

Decision Making: P-value Method

5.3K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

P-value01:10

P-value

6.7K
P-value is one of the most crucial concepts in statistics.
P-value stands for the probability value.  P-value is the probability that, if the null hypothesis is true, the results from another randomly selected sample will be as extreme or more extreme as the results obtained from the given sample.
A large P-value calculated from the data indicates to  not reject the null hypothesis. But a higher P-value does not mean that the null hypothesis is true. The smaller the P-value, the more...

Buffers: Buffer Capacity01:09

Buffers: Buffer Capacity

1.3K
Buffer capacity is the quantitative measure of a buffer to resist the change in pH. As shown in the following equation, the buffer capacity, denoted by 'beta', is expressed as the number of moles of acid or base needed to change the pH of a one-liter buffer solution by 1 unit. Here, Ca and Cb indicate the number of moles of acid and base, respectively. Note that dpH represents the change in pH.
In the graph, pH is plotted as a function of the number of moles of base (Cb) added to a weak...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health Policy
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Aligning health professions education with primary healthcare (PHC) policies is crucial for training competent graduates.
  • Graduates need to effectively address patient and community health demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a tool for assessing the degree of PHC in an undergraduate medical curriculum.
  • To evaluate how PHC content is covered and the depth of student engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Defined PHC through four dimensions: values, principles, generalist focus, and level of care.
  • Assessed curriculum content, pedagogy, context, and assessment methods.
  • Utilized an amended Miller's pyramid to evaluate curriculum outcome expectations.

Main Results:

  • A tool was developed to assess PHC integration in medical curricula.
  • The tool considers content coverage, pedagogical approaches, teaching context, and assessment strategies.
  • It measures student engagement depth across defined PHC dimensions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed tool provides a framework for evaluating PHC in medical education.
  • This assessment is vital for ensuring medical graduates are prepared for primary healthcare settings.
  • The tool aids in aligning educational programs with national and international PHC policies.
