Ignacio Liaw Sok Ying Rabiah Binte Mohamed Dawood Tan Khoon Kiat Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies National University of Singapore In this workshop, we will share our experience on the development and use of a simulation-based assessment tool (SAT),which was constructed to assess student nurses’ clinical performances across six core competencies (critical thinking; effective communication; technical competence; management of care; professional and ethical practice; safe practice). The ses- sion will also cover development of scenario which will serve as an authentic platform to build realistic learning environment. An innovative simulation-based learning and assessment project using Simulated Patient (SP) was recently implemented in the year 1 nursing module. The committee will share this experience and the outcomes of the project.

Presenting Faculty Dr Tan Eng Kien Consultant, Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, National University Hospital NUHS OBGYN Residency Programme Director Workshop explores the different modalities of teaching obstetric emergencies with simulation. The aim is to emphasize to participants that effective obstetric drills teaching can be delivered with low fidelity equipment, and do not always require complicated high fidelity equipment. Workshop will benefit all doctors, nurses, and midwives involved in undergraduate and postgraduate obstetric teaching.

This workshop will complete the clinical simulation learning experiences where participants will have the opportunity to dab- ble with six clinical case scenarios. The focus will be on both the technical and communication skills. Participants will be re- quired to perform appropriate patient assessment and decision making for immediate interventions. Working as an inter- disciplinary team, nurses shall engage one another in the escalation process and the management of clinical acute cases. All cases will end with a debriefing session where participants will engage in lively sharing sessions to exchange rich and valua- ble learning pointers from the simulated case scenarios.

Probabilistic Assessment of Engineering Rock Properties in Singapore for Cavern Feasibility by Chin Soon Kwa Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 21, 2015, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT Singapore conducted various cavern studies since the 1990s, and has since constructed two caverns. The study done in this thesis concentrates on an area of interest within South-Western Singapore, using four logged boreholes that are each 200 meters in depth. Through the use of the empirical methods, the RQD and Q-system, rock support can be estimated for different ground classes for an assumed cavern size.

This is the fourth SIUS, and the first in Singapore – indeed, the first to be hosted outside Manchester. The three previous Institutes held in 2014, 2015 and 2016 were a great success, and we have every expectation that SIUS 2018 will be just as intellectually and personally stimulating. While a variety of disciplinary and thematic summer events are well established, SIUS was the first to take aim at the inter-disciplinary field that is urban studies. That was the original rationale for the Institute. For as we move through the 21st century, which has been referred to by some as the “urban age”, so we are faced with intellectual challenges to which any single discipline seems inadequate. Conceptually and methodologically, making sense of our own bits of the urban puzzle – whether that is climate change, energy, infrastructure, housing or migration to name but five issues with which many cities are currently wrestling – demands we look beyond the disciplines in which we have each been trained. Anthropologists, architects, economists, engineers, environmentalists, geographers, historians, linguists, medics, planners, political scientists, sociologists; those working on the cities of the future are many, their intellectual backgrounds varied.

  • Introduction to Plant Life on Kent Ridge
    Introduction to Plant Life on Kent Ridge Brandon Seah September 5, 2004 1 Adinandra Belukar The type of vegetation on the Ridge is known as Adinandra belukar. The name comes from two sources: Adinandra dumosa is the scientific name of the tree most commonly found in this type of vegetation, while ‘belukar’ is the Malay word for ‘secondary forest’. Secondary forest refers to forest that grows on ground that has been previously cleared of its original natural vegetation (known as primary forest), or that has been significantly disturbed. It is different from primary forests in many ways. Different physical conditions include increased light intensity, lower humidity, and higher temperatures. Because the physical conditions are different, different species that are better adapted to these condi- tions thrive in them. Furthermore, the diversity of plants and animals found in secondary forests is much less than that in primary forests. In order to survive and be successful, plants in secondary forests also have to grow quickly and be easily and widely dispersed, so that they may colonize newly disturbed ground before other plants do. Adinandra belukar is found on degraded land, whereas another type of belukar, Trema belukar, dominated by Trema species and simi- lar plants, is found in naturally occurring gaps in primary forest, where the soil is still rich in nutrients and not degraded. Belukar has several distinct differences from primary forest. First, its plant diversity is much lower, with less plants species per unit area than primary for- est. Second, temperature and humidity fluctuations are much greater. Belukar is highly exposed to the elements, hence in the day it is very warm and during the night it is very cool.

  • Singapore Raptor Report February 2017
    Singapore Raptor Report February 2017 Chinese Sparrowhawk, adult female, Ang Mo Kio, 17 Feb 2017, by Tan Gim Cheong. Summary for migrant species: In February, 66 individuals of 7 migrant species were recorded. While the 26 Oriental Honey Buzzards were similar to last February's numbers, the 19 Black Bazas represented a drop of more than half compared to last February. All the Black Bazas were recorded at the Punggol - Pasir Ris - Tampines area. Six Jerdon's Baza were recorded, five at Punggol on the 4th and one at Pasir Ris Park on the 12th, good numbers for this species. Of the six Peregrine Falcons recorded, two adults were photographed fighting at Seletar Airport vicinity on the 27th. Three Japanese Sparrowhawks were recorded; two of them, adult males, on the 6th at Changi Business Park and 10th at Bidadari, showed signs of moult, similar to what was observed last February, and had only 4 'fingers' instead of the usual 5 'fingers'. Five Ospreys were recorded, including three over Bukit Timah Hill on the 20th. Two Chinese Sparrowhawks were recorded, one at Kent Ridge Park on the 2nd and another, an adult female, at Ang Mo Kio on the 5th, 17th and 19th. A Crested Serpent Eagle photographed at Kent Ridge Park on the 10th by Gavan Leong turned out to be a 3rd year burmanicus, thanks to Dr Chaiyan for his expertise. This is the second occurrence of the burmanicus form, a short distance migrant from Indo-China, to Singapore. The previous record was in September and November 2014 when an individual was photographed at the Japanese Gardens.
