This article is part of the Research TopicArtificial Intelligence: Applications in Clinical MedicineView all 5 articles
The practice of medicine is rapidly transforming as a result of technological breakthroughs
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming more and more relevant in medicine and orthopaedic surgery as a result of the nearly exponential growth in computer processing power
and refining of medical-task specific software algorithms
Because of the extensive role of technologies such as medical imaging that bring high sensitivity
and positive/negative prognostic value to management of orthopaedic disorders
the field is particularly ripe for the application of machine-based integration of imaging studies
we seek to promote awareness in the orthopaedics community of the current accomplishments and projected uses of AI and ML as described in the literature
We summarize the current state of the art in the use of ML and AI in five key orthopaedic disciplines: joint reconstruction
Improvements in software and hardware technologies
such as graphic processing units and cloud computing
has allowed for substantially faster processing computers and storage of larger amounts of data
resulting in development of machines increasingly capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence

Illustrating the key disciplines of artificial intelligence (AI)
including machine learning (ML) approaches that are influencing orthopaedics research
Through this literature review we seek to promote awareness in the orthopaedics community of the current accomplishments and projected uses of AI and ML as described in the literature (Table 1). The following sections summarize the current state of the art in the use of ML and AI in five key orthopaedic disciplines: joint reconstruction, spine, orthopaedic oncology, trauma, and sports medicine (Figure 3)
Summarizes selected manuscripts for application of AI in orthopaedics that were discussed in this article
their study population and figures of merit
As joint reconstruction is one of the major orthopaedics subspecialties
it comes as no surprise that this has also been a key area of studies for AI within orthopaedics
Common use cases for AI in joint reconstruction have been analyzing imaging for automated diagnosis
as well as more niche examples such as streamlining pre-operative workflow for patient specific implants and implant R&D
This model also helps to open up the “black box” of AI by specifically highlighting the key radiologic features that determine the diagnosis to help build trust with the physician user
When combined with patient demographics of age
and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)
their model demonstrated sensitivity of 76.99% and specificity of 77.94% among several thousand patients in the Osteoarthritis Initiative baseline dataset
This model achieved significantly higher sensitivity of 94% and similar specificity of 96% as compared to an experienced orthopaedic surgeon
They also created outputs of saliency maps showing the key areas the model used to make the diagnosis
This particular use case for ML has the potential to offer time savings for surgeons during pre-operative planning of revision cases
use in real-world scenarios will likely require tools with higher levels of accuracy
as well as addressing issues with interpretability
integration with electronic health records
ongoing monitoring and validation of results
One growing trend in orthopaedic arthroplasty has been the use of patient specific implants, allowing for potentially superior outcomes, though involves more work during pre-operative planning (24). Lambrechts et al. developed a novel application for ML in patient-specific joint replacement by using ML to automate patient- and surgeon-specific preoperative planning (25)
the AI-based preoperative plans were significantly improved as compared to the manufacturer's plans by requiring fewer manual corrections by the surgeon
thus streamlining the surgeons' preoperative workflow and reducing time needed to make corrections
Both techniques significantly reduced computational time
with SVM providing a higher degree of accuracy in stress shielding quantification compared to ANN
Further investigation into implant optimization could help to improve the long term performance of orthopaedic implants and potentially further differentiate products on the market
Based on the number of research publications in the field
spine surgery has been another of the major areas of AI research in orthopaedics
Some of the more explored topics include diagnosing spinal pathologies from clinical or imaging information and predicting postoperative complications
Today, cutting-edge techniques for locating and labeling spinal structures perform as-well-as experienced human observers. In fact, many commercially available picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and medical imaging software include these features (32)
Developing high-accuracy preoperative prognostication models would enhance patient counseling and shared decision-making through more accurate forecasting of potential adverse events
This could be particularly true in acute settings
where there is limited time for considering available options
In the past decade many articles have been published investigating models made for predicting various aspects of outcomes of spine surgeries
McGirt et al. used regression to predict outcomes after lumbar surgery. They used several predictor variables, such as age, BMI, detailed symptoms, and presence of spinal disorders to predict clinical outcomes, including 12-month Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), 30-day readmission rates, rehabilitation needs, and return to work, achieving accuracies between 72% and 84% (40)
Scheer et al. used a data set of 657 patients that underwent spine deformity surgery with and without intra- or perioperative complications. Authors trained an ensemble of decision trees to use baseline demographic, radiographic, and surgical factors to predict the possibility of major complications with an overall accuracy of 87.6%. They reported age, leg pain, OSI, ASA grade, presence of osteoporosis, and pelvic tilt among the highest predictor variables (43)
AI has been investigated in orthopaedic oncology for a variety of applications
including both primary bone or soft tissue tumors and metastatic diseases
While the field is still in its early stages
encouraging results have been published in the literature
Development of such algorithms could aid in image based diagnosis for intermediate cases
hence reducing the need for invasive diagnostic procedures
These tumors that are usually managed with intralesional curettage have a recurrence rate of 12%–65%
used inception v3 CNN on MRI images of 56 patients with GCTB that were followed for an average of 6 years
By combining imaging and patient data (age
and tumor location) they reported an accuracy of 78.6% in correctly predicting recurrence
The clinical application of these findings is not clearly established
we believe these forecasts could be used to determine duration and intensity of postoperative surveillance to evaluate for recurrence
the applications of AI in orthopaedic trauma are mostly focused on the automated image-based diagnosis of fractures
The research of AI in trauma clinical outcome prediction
The most abundant application of artificial intelligence in trauma orthopaedics described in the literature is the use of deep learning methods, most commonly CNNs, for the detection of fractures. For example, in the highly cited 2017 article by Olczak et al. five deep learning networks were adapted to detect fractures in 256,000 wrist, hand, and ankle radiographs (61)
All of these networks accurately identified laterality
and fracture; the best performing network exhibited a final detection accuracy of 83% for fractures
With assistance from the deep neural network
the average clinician's sensitivity and specificity were improved from 80.8% to 91.5% and from 87.5% to 93.9%
the misinterpretation rate was reduced by 47%
Deep learning networks also were not able to perform contextual diagnosis (based on clinical questions posed by ordering clinicians) and prognostication
as they require synthesis of clinical knowledge that cannot be acquired through training sets alone
almost all of the training sets used consisted of images obtained from a single view – findings that only present on one view in multiview radiographs may be missed this way
it is clear that AI has the potential to transform the landscape of trauma orthopaedics as a diagnostic tool
especially as these limitations are addressed in the near future
This information was then used in proposing a patient-specific
tiered bundled payment model that balances risk sharing between the payor and institution
which mediates the current challenges in the bundled payment model for hip fracture patients
Although the machine learning algorithm only predicted the most likely payment strata for each patient and not precise value
this study nicely demonstrated the inter-subspecialty applicability of Bayesian machine learning algorithm in predicting orthopaedic patient outcomes
a feature that can even be expanded to other areas of medicine in the near future
Emerging use of AI in trauma prognostication is also demonstrated by Stojadinovic et al.The authors used a Bayesian classifier to predict the non-union treatment success by extracorporeal shockwave therapy (69, 70)
It nicely identified two variables that had the highest predictive values for treatment success (time to therapy and type of bone involved)
that the use of extracorporeal shockwave therapy is currently restricted to patients with fractures that are refractory to “first line” treatments
such as surgical fixation and cast immobilization
These patients only comprise the minority of fracture patients
AI prognostication studies for fracture patients that underwent surgical or immobilization are still lacking
it would be interesting to track the evolution of AI application in this field of orthopaedics
specifically whether it would involve other imaging modalities beyond radiograph
its expansion into other functional applications and involvement of other treatment modalities
the applications of AI are still mostly confined to automated image-based diagnosis
as soft tissues such as the most likely structures involved in injury
Knee injury is the most active area of research
with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscal tear detection being the most common application
For the two most common soft tissue injuries of the knee
the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscal tear
MRI is the modality of choice for diagnosis
diagnosing these injuries on MRI can be challenging given the subtlety of some findings
and the expertise of trained radiologists is almost always required
the development of automated methods in detecting ACL and meniscal tears is the most active area of research in sports medicine AI
The performance of MRNet for detecting soft tissue knee injuries was comparable to that of general unassisted radiologists
although the radiologists achieved higher sensitivity in detecting ACL tears and higher specificity in detecting meniscal tears
Concordant to this result, other studies have also demonstrated that CNNs are the best deep learning method for fully-automated detection of ACL and meniscal injuries. AUCs as high as 0.971 has been demonstrated for ACL injury detection, while the best performing meniscal tear detection CNN has an AUC of 0.94 (73, 74)
This particularly high AUC for meniscal tear detection
was only achievable when only normal menisci and those with grade 3 intensity tears were included
More subtle grade 1 and grade 2 meniscal tears were excluded from the study
the result from this study should be interpreted with caution
especially for the CNN's ability to detect more subtle meniscal injuries
the CNNs currently described in the literature exhibit their best performance for ACL tear detection
The availability of CNNs that can detect orthopaedic soft tissue injuries in other body parts is still scarce
with the rapid development of automated injury detection on MRI in the past several years
particularly with advancement from more recent CNN models
the same concept will likely extend more widely to detect soft tissue injuries in other body parts
Potentially useful metrics could include reduction in time radiologists spend interpreting images
Other common use cases as profiled in this study focus on integration of large data sets to help predict disease and/or surgical outcomes
especially in a field like orthopaedics that is moving increasingly towards patient-specific care
In contrast to automating radiological diagnosis
analyzing large datasets is not a process that can easily be done by humans
Using ML algorithms offers a clear benefit in terms of processing and interpreting complex
demonstrating a high degree of accuracy and having easy to understand outputs will be critical to get users to buy-in
What remains to be seen is the clinical utility of these predictions
and how clinicians and patients can use the outputs of such algorithms to guide care
two critical metrics to demonstrate in future studies
Another issue that remains a barrier for the adoption of ML is the “black box”, where ML algorithms are sufficiently complex where their results are not readily interpretable by their human users. Some studies have specifically addressed this concern by specifically showing the key data that lead to the algorithm's output, for example highlighting the key parts of a radiograph that lead to the diagnosis (8)
This is a step ML developers can take to demystify the “black box” and build trust and buy-in with the human user
Acquisition of data remains another large barrier to future use cases and widespread clinical use of ML
Large datasets are often required for the training and validation phases of creating a ML algorithm
which can be difficult to obtain in a single institution study
While sharing data across institutions can increase data availability
and data heterogeneity across different electronic health record systems
These barriers to data acquisition and sharing may also make validation of models more difficult
a recent review of studies using AI to evaluate radiographic imaging found that only 6% of the 516 studies demonstrated external validity(Kim et al
As researchers attempt to translate models from the proof of concept stage
validation and real-world clinical assessments will be necessary to build user trust and gain adoption
Based on the promising results and wide breadth of use cases in the published literature
it is clear that AI and ML is likely to have a large impact in the future of orthopaedics
it is likely that improvements to current technologies and development of new applications within orthopaedics will only increase the utility and use of ML in clinical practice
ML developers must continue working through the hurdles discussed in this paper to improve trust
and ease of use for clinician users and to navigate the ever changing regulatory landscape for AI products
When identifying “best” areas for AI/ML applications
developers should consider two primary features: (1) areas of strong interpretive uncertainty; (2) areas of substantial time and resource consumption
Rationales deriving from the former consideration will apply to clinicians and patients; those deriving from the latter will appeal to clinicians
and patient privacy will play a critical role in the continued development and use of these technologies
despite the future promise of ML technologies
many steps remain before they can be translated to widespread use in the clinical field of orthopaedics

Geisel School of Medicine medical students Faraz Farhadi ’24 and Harun Sugito ’23, along with Professor of Radiology Petra Lewis, MBBS, and Sidak Pannu, MD, have received a Radiology Society of North America (RSNA) Education Project Award to support DartRad
the professional radiology society provides supplemental funding for new or ongoing education projects through their Education Project Awards
a highly sought grant for investigators in academic radiology
Founded in 2020 by Geisel students and Lewis as a free radiology curriculum easily accessible to all
DartRad is the only interactive national educational radiology portal by and for medical students
allowing users to explore and contribute to short (less than 5 minutes each) cases via social media
From multiple choice questions to open answers to image localization
users interact with a diverse set of cases spanning a wide array of radiology topics—the curriculum is based on the Oxford-American Handbook of Radiology by Lewis and Nancy McNulty MED ’95
“DartRad provides 'bite size' interactive radiology teaching in a form that students enjoy,” Lewis explains
“We have developed more than 200 cases so far; this grant allows us to streamline case production and publication to make the project efficient and sustainable.”
lead investigator of this project and steward of the grant
is an award-winning resident educator who recently completed the Interventional Radiology residency program at Dartmouth Health
The expertise he brings to the DartRad team bridges that of Lewis and the student directors
The award represents national recognition of Sugito and Farhadi’s hard work and will be used to increase the existing substantial catalogue of educational material with additional learning modalities
and create a platform for podcasts and lectures
“As student directors of DartRad for the past year
Faraz and I noted improvements to move the platform forward nationally as an educational tool for medical students interested in radiology,” Sugito says
“Because a lot of the work we do happens in the background
this funding will enable us to streamline that work so we can focus on recruiting more authors and diversifying content on the website to increase the engagement level.”
Sugito’s interest in diagnostic radiology began the summer following his first year of medical school
A research project at Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering introduced him to high resolution imaging of the temporal bone—work that led to a 2020 AOA Carolyn L
Kuckein Student Research Fellowship that supported a continuation of that research
Jeffery Fellow in the Department of Radiology at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center
Farhadi worked at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a research fellow in nuclear medicine and radiology where he was an assistant investigator for multiple clinical trials—work that produced more than 20 peer reviewed publications
Farhadi continues his research at NIH as director of the Dr
Babak Saboury Lab in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at the NIH Clinical Center
“The fact that our proposal was chosen as one of the top-ranked applications demonstrates the importance of DartRad's mission,” Farhadi says

Life&Culture Japanese artist Sugito overturns common sense with wooden frames
A series of geometrical semi-abstract paintings “wrapped up” inside antique wooden frames is on display
each one appearing to show a fragment of an old memory
Japanese painter Hiroshi Sugito’s recent paintings are showcased at his first solo exhibition in South Korea
The works are reminiscent of dream scenes with objects such as trees
Some paintings are based on the artist’s sketches of rural areas in Japan
The artist’s recollections are magnified with old wooden frames from the 1950s and 1960s that the artist has collected for many years
The artist believes “a frame selects the painting,” a shift from the conventional view that frames are selected for paintings
“Those wooden frames have something special that today’s frames do not have
I enjoy being surrounded by the wooden frames
so I painted the new works at the studio (full of the frames),” the artist said in the exhibition note
“The most important part of this series is matching the works with the wooden frames.”

Hiroshi Sugito has been renowned for atmospheric paintings which evolve from Nihon-ga
the Japanese-style painting traditions in which he first trained
Spaces and objects were depicted in conflicting scales
often causing a viewer to question their own vantage point
While European early Modern painters drew inspiration from the flatness of traditional Japanese imagery to create masterpieces of Western Painting
it was Cubism which problematized questions of vantage point(s)
Such painter’s problems and pursuits are the genesis of Sugito’s modest scaled paintings which utilize decorative vintage frames as tools in his process of composing his images
advancing from the emphasis on “line” which is intrinsic with Nihon-ga to incorporate shadow which is a hallmark of Yō-ga
Sugito contemplates not only the pictorial concerns that he shares with artists of all generations
but also the many other dynamics of how painting may exist in culture
Sugito removed the ornate frames which had been added to Zenzaburo Kojima’s paintings of Japanese gardens
presenting them in the Modern unframed style
Sugito’s paintings are shown in the vintage frames which were intrinsic to his process of finding his painting image

the area has seen a decline in population and a gradual loss of its traditional community values
which had historically served as a centralized core to unite the neighborhood
has slowly lost this affiliation through the widespread commercialization of religious organizations and ceremonial occasions
the design team introduces an expressive open hall — the houshouin kannondō
adjacent to the preexisting temple — which feels both spiritual and accessible
generating a modern religious institution to revitalize the spirit of the community
image by kenta hasegawa
through depopulation and changes over time, the planned site had become a large vacant lot, alienating the original temple from the rest of the town. with the new kannondō, or main hall, persimmon hills architects reintroduces a relationship between the houshouin temple and its context
due to careful consideration for the new volume’s relationship to the old
and the preexisting hall together as a visual composition
the team thus generates a natural continuation of the existing framework
the new kannondō is most notably characterized by its structurally expressive roof
spanning the length of the hall without the support of a single pillar
with the design team comments on the use of the design strategy: ‘the gable roof of the temple is an image of a tree-like structure
because the gable roof of the temple is reminiscent of buddha’s enlightenment under the linden tree
and the structure is reminiscent of the landscape that the back light shines.’ elaborating on the project’s response to the transformation of religious institutions within local communities
the team continues: ‘by superimposing new values on building types that tend to be caught up in fixed ideas of religious facilities
it induces usage that is different from before
and from this new next values are born and overlapped again.’

ABC NewsBy Hellena Souisa
One of the last photos of ABC journalist Hellena Souisa (centre) with her husband and father-in-law
Link copiedShareShare articleDalam Bahasa Indonesia
Please tell the others because I can't," my sister in-law said in a text message from Indonesia to my husband
I heard his wailing break the silence of a cold Melbourne morning
meaning "father" in Bahasa Indonesia
Bapak had been rushed to hospital with body aches and a fever
Even though he had received the first dose of the Sinovac vaccine
we know exactly how deadly this virus is for the elderly
But from my reporting on Indonesia's worsening COVID crisis
I knew he was fortunate even to get to hospital
I shudder to remember the last article I wrote
about the increasing number of COVID patients who died at home or on the road
We relied on the kindness of the doctors and nurses to connect a video call from the isolation room so that we could communicate with Bapak
I thought of all the stories I have heard and written about the spread of COVID-19 in my home country over the past 18 months
Just like other patients I have reported on
Bapak was buried according to Indonesia's funeral protocols in a government-designated cemetery
We were only able to witness the brief process of his funeral from a video recording sent via WhatsApp by one of our cousins
We could only watch the funeral through WhatsApp
But the news from home didn't stop there
Five days after my father-in-law was buried
I received news that one of my uncles was also experiencing a decline in his condition while he was self-isolating
Even though his oxygen saturation had dropped to 68 (the normal range is between 95 and 100) and he had asthma and diabetes
it was not easy to persuade him to go to the hospital
my aunt asked me to help her explain to him why he needed to go to the hospital immediately
I also promised him I would find an ambulance
which hospital will I be taken to?" my uncle Deddy Sumardi asked me
But what is certain is that we cannot choose which hospital we want to go now
because of the situation in Indonesia," I said
I told him the local health centre would try to find him a bed
and that I would keep trying to find one too
My aunt and their only daughter could not even watch his funeral procession from afar
because they were still self-isolating at home
we have not returned to Indonesia for almost two years
My father-in-law had nine children who live in Australia
the Netherlands and different cities in Indonesia
All of them refrained from visiting him in Magelang
the small town in Central Java where the famous Borobudur Temple is located
My uncle was laid to rest in a government-assigned COVID-19 burial plot
Maybe that's what made his death even more painful for us
celebrating Christmas with him again once things get better," my husband said
As Indonesia's hospital system struggles with a surge of new COVID-19 cases
many are being turned away from hospitals and are being forced to isolate at home
But losing him to COVID-19 during this pandemic was a totally different story
We felt our grief was not properly channeled
I consider myself as someone who knows a lot about COVID-19 — I have spent a lot of time communicating information to the public and talking to experts
and also other fellow Indonesians who shared their experiences of the virus
It also feels surreal — I am living in a relatively safe place
but I lost my father-in-law and uncle back home in the same week
my father-in-law shared his hope that my husband and I would have a long and happy marriage
This article contains content that is no longer available
Some experts have warned that the worst is yet to come for Indonesia — the world's fourth most populous country — if it is not serious in dealing with the pandemic
Recently, epidemiologist from the University of Indonesia Pandu Riono used the term "herd stupidity" to describe the conditions in Indonesia
an Indonesian sociologist who has worked in the presidential offices of both Joko Widodo and his predecessor Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
said that one of the fatal mistakes made by the government was "the absence of a single perception and message to the public"
there is indeed a lot of confusion and misinformation
including about the safety of vaccines for people who have congenital diseases like my uncle
This makes many people hesitant to get vaccinated
As Indonesia enters its second wave of coronavirus
mixed messaging and misinformation has health experts worried
only 5.8 per cent of the population have received two doses of the vaccine
under 15 per cent of the total 21.5 million elderly people like Bapak are fully vaccinated
with 1,205 new deaths and 54,000 new cases
The daily mortality rates are up to 10 times the numbers seen in early June
The country's total cases have now passed 2.7 million
But I can't look at those numbers in the same way again
Now I can always see the faces of my father-in-law and uncle in them

International artists including Sterling Ruby
Dewey Crumpler and Sylvie Fleury will showcase new projects
historical works and immersive installations at the fair
Many galleries at Frieze New York are staging ambitious solo shows by their most globally renowned and experimental artists
This year sees work that expands conventions of painting
Sterling Ruby reveals new work at Gagosian
including four paintings in his “TURBINE” series (2021–) and a selection of collages from “DRFTRS” (2012–)
Ruby saturates his “TURBINE” paintings in colour
pounding pigment into their surface and arranging them on his studio floor to be subjected to frenzied motion
This layering is mirrored in “DRIFTRS,” for which Ruby collages photographs of spores
Ruby addresses contemporary concerns with a broad range of literary and historical references
Frieze New York marks the first time that Haegue Yang’s “Mesmerizing Mesh” (2021–) is shown in the United States
Yang expands her interest in the connection between spirit and matter into an experiment with the shamanistic ritual of blowing a soul into fragile material
cuts and perforates hanji (a paper made from mulberry tree bark) to imbue the material with spiritual desire and intercessory purpose
Jenkins Johnson offers a sweeping insight into Dewey Crumpler’s three-decade-long exploration of Black oppression and subjugation
Crumpler’s discovery of a photograph of an African slave collar in the 1990s prompted him to begin “Metta,” a series that examines the violent detachment of the collar from its origins
Crumpler embarked on “Tulip” at the same time
linking the commercial history of this flower with the economic and cultural commodification of the Black body.
Sylvie Fleury at Karma International and Sprüth Magers
Karma International and Sprüth Magers are dedicating their shared space to Sylvie Fleury
whose scrutiny of contemporary culture and male-centric art history sparks a seductive collision of art and consumerism
The presentation features Fleury’s iconic neon works
With subjects ranging from luxe fashion to Andy Warhol

Lee Bae is the subject of a focused presentation at Perrotin
which features a selection of the artist’s paintings
Bae’s practice has become an intense and immersive study of charcoal’s color and materiality
The nature of the charcoal changes as Bae engages it across different media: for his “Issu du Feu” series
charcoal shards are sanded and polished to reflect light and reveal a spectrum of luminous blacks and grays
while for his “Brushstroke” paintings Bae uses diluted charcoal ink
allowing minimal gestures to create depth on a flat surface.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The head of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) legal aid, Sugito Atmo Prawiro, has blamed the Indonesian government for the current immigration hassle on the organization’s leader, Rizieq Shihab
He asserted that the hefty fine the FPI leader is facing was not his fault
Habib Rizieq’s overstay is not his fault,” Sugito told Tempo today
Sugito said that Rizieq had attempted to depart three times from Saudi Arabia to Malaysia
2018—the deadline for Rizieq’s stay permit—to finish his study in Malaysia
he was unable to do so as his departure was blocked.

“How can someone be barred before their visa’s stay permit ended?” said Sugito
Sugito claimed this situation was attributable to one of Indonesia’s “powerful institutions.” He also strongly suggested that the government should pay the fine for Rizieq Shihab’s overstay that has amounted to Rp110 million
He said that FPI followers would raise funds to help pay the fine should the government balked at paying it off

Allegra Leaman and Ysabeau Wilson are sending postcards to students in Sugito Japan to life their spirits during the pandemic.Japanese students at Georgiana Molloy Anglican School have sent postcards to students in Busselton's sister city Sugito in Japan
All articles from our websiteThe digital version of Today's PaperBreaking news alerts direct to your inboxAll articles from the other regional websites in your areaContinueGMAS Japanese teacher Tracey Smith is coordinating the project titled Postcards from Busselton to help lift the spirits of students in Sugito who have experienced a lengthy COVID-19 lockdown
Ms Smith said students in Japan were allowed to go to school to study the bare minimum such as math's
"They do not get to go to their club activities anymore," she said
if you are enrolled in a school you do something whether it is art
"They can not do any of that at the moment
they go to school do the basics then go home
"The mums and dads still have to go to work but the kids cannot stay a full day at school
there are little kids staying at home and it just breaks your heart really
"We wanted to be able to fill the social isolation and hope to help the Japaense students know that people outside were thinking of them."
Student Ysabeau Wilson said she would write that she was thinking of the students and that even though they were going through a hard time it would pass over
"I will write about how I really like their culture and look up to Japanese people
because I really do love their culture and I really hope to visit Japan one day once COVID-19 blows over," she said
I really love their mythical creatures and superstitions
Student Miles Gill hoped to make the students laugh by sharing jokes and telling them a bit about life in Busselton
Allegra Leaman wanted to send encouragement to the Japanese students and let them know that they were being thought of
"It would be pretty hard I do not know how I would deal with it if I could not talk to my friends face-to-face and missing out on social interaction," she said
