Introduction: Brachial plexus schwannomas are extremely rare tumours of the head and neck region accounting for less than 5 % overall. Due to its rarity and anatomic complexity of the brachial plexus, schwannomas in this region present a diagnostic and surgical challenge to the surgeon.   Case Report: We present a case of a 56-year-old female who presented with a slow gr...

The aim of this study was to develop a theoretical and pedagogical model for planning and evaluat ing play and games as learning tools. The model is also useful for evaluating playful learning environments (PLE). This research is a part of the Let’s Play project in which purpose is to design and construct playful learning environments for primary schools. The pilot projects of PLE are located a...

Web-based Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) have been widely recognized as a mean for supporting and assisting online learning practices. A PLE is a set of services customized by the student. Among these services, resource (either digital or human) recommendation is a crucial one. The paper briefly reviews existing approaches for recommending resources in PLE. Then it describes a novel appr...

This study presents an exploratory approach to identify the main factors of Personal Learning Environment (PLE) adoption and diffusion within commercial organisations. Utilising an inductive investigative approach via the use of Grounded Theory methodology, relevant adoption factors were identified and their resulting influence during various stages of the innovation diffusion process were prop...

A questionnaire is developed to evaluate perception of the listening environment by university students. The objectives were to develop a questionnaire-based measurement tool, derive a measure of perceived classroom-listening quality, use the questionnaire to investigate factors that enhance, impair, or do not affect perceived listening quality, and consider the implications for classroom desig...

The article looks into methods and models that are useful when analyzing the risks and vulnerabilities of complex e-learning systems in an emergency management context. Definitions of vulnerability and emergency response capabilities, such as “VLE/PLE attack surface”, are suggested. The article provides insight into some of the issues related to analysis of risks and vulnerabilities of e-learni...
