Downloaded from 4 1 2 3 4 ABSTRACT 5 6 7 8 9 Objectives: To primarily assess the prevalence of awareness and use of massive open online courses 10 11 12 (MOOCs) among medical undergraduates in Egypt as a developing country, besides identifying the 13 14 limitations and satisfaction of using these courses. 15 For peer review only 16 Design: A multi-center, cross-sectional study using a web-based, pilot-tested and self-administered 17 18 19 questionnaire. 20 21 Settings: Ten randomly selected medical schools in Egypt. 22 23 24 Participants: Randomly selected 2700 undergraduate medical students with an equal allocation of 25 26 participants in each university and each study year. 27 28 Primary and secondary outcomes measures: The primary outcome measures were the percentages of 29 30 31 students who knew about MOOCs, students who enrolled and students who obtained a certificate. 32 33 Secondary outcome measures included the limitations and satisfaction of using MOOCs through 5- 34 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 35 point Likert scale questions. 36 37 38 Results: Of 2527 eligible students, 2106 filled the questionnaire (response rate 83.3%). Of these 39 40 students, 456 (21.7%) knew the term MOOCs or websites providing these courses. Out of the latter, 41 on September 24, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 42 136 students (29.8%) had enrolled in at least one course, but only 25 (18.4%) of them completed 43 44 45 courses earning certificates. Clinical years’ students showed significantly higher rates of knowledge 46 47 (P= .009) and enrollment (P< .001) than academic year students. The primary reasons for incompletion 48 49 50 of courses included lack of time (105; 77.2%) and slow internet speed (73; 53.7%). Of the 25 students 51 52 who completed courses, 21 (84%) were satisfied with the overall experience. However, there was less 53 54 satisfaction regarding student-instructor (8; 32%) and student-student (5; 20%) interactions. 55 56 57 58 59 60 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml BMJ Open Page 6 of 32 BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2014-006804 on 5 January 2015. Downloaded from 5 1 2 3 Conclusions: Approximately one-fifth of Egyptian medical undergraduates have heard about MOOCs 4 5 6 with only about 6.5% actively enrolled in courses. However, students who actively participated showed 7 8 a positive attitude toward the experience, but better time management skills and faster internet 9 10 11 connection speeds are required. Further studies are needed to address the enrolled students for a better 12 13 understanding of their experience. 14 15 For peer review only 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 on September 24, 2021 by guest.

The aim of the present study is to assess nursing interns' perception about role transition. Research Design: Descriptive design was used. Setting: the study was conducted at Tanta University main hospital. Subjects: Convenient sample of nursing interns students (N= 113) at Tanta University's main hospital and willing to participate in the study. Tool for data collection: Modified perceptions and expectations of role transition questionnaire were used. Results: Regarding total score of role transition, more than fifty (54.86%) of nursing interns perceived moderate level of role transition, almost fifty of nursing interns perceived low role transition in role preparation and organization and support domains (42.28%) and (49.56%) respectively. However, the majority of nursing internship (62.83%) perceived high role transition in role competency. Conclusion: This study concluded that nursing interns at Tanta University main hospital perceived level of role transition moderate, majority of them perceived high role transition in role competency domain while almost fifty of nursing interns perceived low role transition in role preparation and organization and support domains.

Thus, patients with poor glycemic control require the use of insulin therapy to achieve the target of American Diabetes Association, recommending HbA1c to be less than 7% (≥8% despite of optimal doses of anti-diabetic drugs). Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and addressing the barriers for use of insulin in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients, where their glycemic control is poor, i.e., HbA1c is ≥8% despite of optimal doses of anti-diabetic drugs. Research Design & Method: We surveyed 200 patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus, i.e., cross-sectional quantitative study; patients showed poor glycemic control HbA1c≥8%, already treated with one or more oral agents, who recently prescribed insulin to control their metabolic status. Data were obtained by patient’s interview using a validated questionnaire. The place of the study was in diabetes mellitus clinic in Farwaniyah Primary Health Care Center in Kuwait. Result: Patients with type-2 diabetes failing to initiate the prescribed insulin therapy have reported misconception regarding fear of hypoglycemia in 49% of the total sample, pain from injections in 68% and self-blame about need for insulin i.e., sense of failure in 61% of total sample of study.

Such unprecedented GOCE data made it possible to improve the determination of the geoid over our study area, namely the Red Sea. The performance of GOCE global gravity field models (GGMs), at the end of its mission that lasted for 42 months, is evaluated using shipborne free-air gravity anomalies over the Red Sea. Seven recent GOCE-based GGMs, namely the DIR_R5, ITU_GGC16, SPW_R5, TIM_R5, NULP_02S, GOCO05C and GGM05G are assessed by means of the Spectral Enhancement Method (SEM) as well as the EGM2008 model. The evaluation focused the light on spherical harmonics degree/order (d/o) ranging from 100 to the maximum degree of the model with an incremental step of 20 d/o.
