Generative AI-Integrated Virtual Agents and Simulations in Health Professions Education
The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is transforming both the health sector and health profession education, although AI-based systems have existed in these sectors for decades. GenAI-integrated virtual agents and simulations now play novel and critical roles in simulation-based education and are potential solutions to enhance the adaptability of health profession education. This systematic review was conducted usin…
Changes in the behavioural determinants of health during the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have far-reaching consequences on population health. We investigated whether these consequences included changes in health-impacting behaviours which are important drivers of health inequalities. METHODS: Using data from five representative British cohorts (born 2000-2002, 1989-1990, 1970, 1958 and 1946), we investigated sleep, physical activity (exercise), diet and alcohol intake (N=14 297). We in…

An Application of Computer Cartography in the Teaching of Cartography
This paper describes an application of the computer in the teaching of cartography to geography undergraduates at Brock University. A basic aim is to impart an awareness of the limitations of maps. A series of assignments, demonstrating the subjectivity of isopleth mapping, plays a crucial role in this. A hypothetical population distribution is created for an urban study area, and a geographical base file modelled on the Area Master File of the G…
