Globalization as a worldwide process has significant implications in the area of education. In relation to this trend, the main challenge is to prepare students for the role of competent global citizens. Thus, we tested selected group of students of chemistry in attempt to measure their understanding of global trends in education. Results show positive attitudes towards student mobility, but no vision to develop competence and capacity that will make them quality applicants for international mobility programs. Scarce examples of students engagement in global educational trends only magnifies the need for well researched and organized approach in this area.

Objective: To report an uncommon method of managing pancreatic fistulas and retroperitoneal abscess. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 50-year-old man was admitted with fever, abdominal pain, periumbilical fistula and pus in stool. Five months before admission, he underwent urgent necrosectomy (7 days after onset of pain) and subsequently two more surgeries for necrotizing pancreatitis. Ultrasound revealed fluid collection in the retropancreatic space. After evacuation of pus, contrast medium instilled through a catheter showed a retroperitoneal abscess cavity, retroperitoneal-periumbilical and retroperitoneal-sigmoidal fistulas. After percutaneous drainage and iodine irrigation, the abscess collection and fistulas disappeared. Conclusion: In this case, percutaneous drainage was a successful option in the management of pancreatic fistulas and a retroperitoneal abscess.

This paper describes the results of an experimental study in which older adult participants interacted with three monitoring technologies designed to support their ability to age in place in their own home - a camera, a stationary robot, and a mobile robot. The aim of our study was to evaluate users' perceptions of privacy and their tendencies to engage in privacy enhancing behaviors (PEBs) by comparing the three conditions. We found that privacy concerns lead older adults to change their behavior in a home environment while being monitored by cameras or embodied robots. We expected participants to engage in more PEBs when they interacted with a mobile robot, which provided embodied cues of ongoing monitoring; surprisingly, we found the opposite to be true - the camera was the condition in which participants performed more PEBs. We describe the results of quantitative and qualitative analyses of our survey, interview, and observational data and discuss the implications of our study for human-robot interaction, the study of privacy and technology, and the design of assistive robots for monitoring older adults.
