"My brain is still working!": Conversations with Centarians about Learning in their Second Century of Living
Authors: Fenimore Mary Ann
Published: July 2024

This qualitative research project seeks a deeper understanding of the learning
experiences of centenarians and their perceptions of the helps and hindrances
they experience in their learning. Eighteen people between the ages of 100 and
106 were interviewed in their own settings. These centenarians reported rich
late-life learning experiences such as acquisition of new knowledge, development
of new skills and changes in behavior. The majority of meaningful learning
experiences occurred through social interactions. Learning on a one-to-one basis
was often, the preferred approach. Learning through the media, through activities
and through adaptations to physical changes were also mentioned. The four
major hindrances to late life learning were poor vision, poor hearing, poor
mobility and illness. Recommendations for seniors' education programs are discussed.

Résumé

Cette recherche qualitative vise à mieux comprendre l'expérience vécue de personnes
centenaires, ainsi que les facteurs qui favorisent ou qui inhibent leurs
démarches d'apprentissage. Dix-huit personnes âgées de 100 à 106 ans furent
interviewées dans leur milieu de vie respectif. Les répondants font état d'une vie
riche en apprentissages de toutes sortes, plus particulièrement de l'acquisition de
savoirs, d'habiletés et de comportements nouveaux. Les apprentissages signifiants
furent réalisés le plus souvent par le biais d'interactions sociales. Les
démarches en tandem avec une autre personne paraissent être les mieux appréciées.
Au nombre des sources d'apprentissage, on trouve également les médias,
les activités quotidiennes et l'adaptation. aux changements physiologiques. Les
quatre principaux obstacles à l'apprentissage sont les déficits de la vision et de
l'ouie, la mobilité restreinte et la santé défaillante. Quelques recommandations
sont mises de l'avant pour la conception de programmes éducatifs destinés aux
personnes âgées.

Shifting the Ground of the Familiar: Using Autobiography and Intercultural Learning in a Time of Transition
Authors: Jongeward Carolyn
Published: July 2024

While conducting adult education research in India, the author
confronted the challenges of being in transition within an unfamiliar
physical and cultural environment. This autobiographical account
examines learning from the perspectives of emotional response to
entering a new context, struggle with a lack of fit between self and
environment, value of finding supportive relationships, and emergence
of familiarity and new knowledge. An analysis of conditions and
capacities integral to the process of being in this transition includes
discussion of the concepts of complexity, self-organization, and the
edge of chaos. The analysis explores the meaning of familiar and
unfamiliar ground, and examines an experiential learning process that
transforms boundaries into thresholds of possibility. Factors that
emerge include the nature of risk taking, reflection, and relationship
that enables creative resilience—a capacity to recover from
disturbance through making the strange familiar. Attitudes and
perspectives learned while being in transition can link personal and
community values to those associated with ecological sustainability—
for example, the significance of limits and transpersonal ethics. The
conclusion is that the psychological and cultural dimensions of adult
learning for sustainability can strengthen adult education theory and
practice. In turn, adult education can play an important role in the
global transition to sustainability.

Résumé

À l'occasion d'une recherche en Inde, l'auteure se trouva en transition
dans un environnement physique et culturel inconnu. Cet article
autobiographique explore la notion d'apprentissage en lien avec les
émotions ressenties dans un contexte nouveau, la difficulté d'arrimer
identité et environnement, l'importance des relations d'entraide, et
l'émergence de l'ordinaire et de nouveaux savoirs. L'analyse des
conditions et capacités liées à la transition fait ressortir les notions de
complexité, d'auto-organisation, et de naissance du chaos. On explore
en outre les notions de connu et d'inconnu, le processus
d'apprentissage expérienciel pouvant transformer les frontières en
possibilités. Parmi les facteurs identifiés, notons la nature du risque, la
réflexion, et la relation qui conduit à l'endurance créative—soit la
capacité de se remettre d'un bouleversement enfaisant de l'inconnu un
intime. Les attitudes et les perspectives acquises en transition relient
valeurs personnelles et communautaires à celles associées à la
pérennité écologique, par exemple le sens de la limite et de l'éthique
transpersonnelle. En conclusion, les dimensions psychologique et
culturelle de l'apprentissage adulte pour la pérennité viennent
renforcer la théorie et la pratique andragogiques. Inversement,
l'éducation des adultes peut jouer un rôle important dans la transition
globale vers la pérennité.
Conducting Support Groups for Bereaved People after Disaster
Authors: Gordon Rob , Landes Sharon des , Trathen Salli
Published: July 2024

The social dimension of disasters is a strength and a liability. After bushfires destroyed 2,000 houses damaged 25 towns and killed 173 people in the state of Victoria, Australia on Black Saturday, 9 February 2009, community-based recovery programs were established for the thousands of people living in devastated communities. Among these were bereavement support groups to assist the grieving. They met monthly for 4 years. While therapeutic, they are not therapy groups yet require careful establishment and a technique to engage community members who would probably never have sought therapy. The technique is restrained, allows groups to find their way but to hold the purpose. The process showed a distinct rhythm with engagement through tears, humour and comradeship in adversity during the first year deepening to mutual support with recovery problems in the second year. Then in the third year, the safety of their common bonds allowed expression of the depth of anger, pain and grief. In the fourth year they were able to work on damaged identity, reflect on the lost pre-disaster life and look towards new life. The ‘group in mind’ formed gave confidence to cross the abyss created by disaster in the life continuum and begin a new future.
Liminal Space and Transformative Change in Group Training in Guatemala: A Group Analytic Perspective
Authors: Rohr Elisabeth
Published: July 2024

This paper was given as a keynote lecture at the Second African Regional Conference, ‘Groups crossing boundaries: co-creating spaces for transformative change’. Giving this paper allowed me to explain some of my Guatemalan experiences and to demonstrate the potential of group analysis as a powerful tool of transformation for individuals as well as for groups, for organizations and for societies as well. I describe a group analytic supervision training in a post-war society that turned out to be a challenge on a personal, theoretical and procedural level. Described is not only the political context of the training, but also difficulties and conflicts that arose in the training group, mirroring unconscious cultural defences and anxieties. Focusing on the group’s disturbing transgression of boundaries it was finally possible to understand these acts as manifestations of a hidden psychosocial trauma in the group. On the basis of this slowly growing process of understanding, the group managed to open up for new theoretical perspectives and unknown methodological approaches. Participants of the training finally dared to apply their newly acquired knowledge and capacities as supervisors in one of the most sensitive political institutions of the country, and as the evaluation showed, did so most successfully.
Under-age Migrants in Temporary Absence of Supportive Adults
Authors: Bargach Amina
Published: July 2024

This article begins by setting a frame for understanding the violent effect that the temporary absence of adult support in a host country can have on young a person’s mental health. This is based on the author’s understanding of the Moroccan social background. In the body of the article it includes a complex discussion based on suggesting that the following components are required: 1) Families need to acquire tools to exercise their economic, social and cultural rights and to finally ensure their inclusion in the community, 2) A new form of fatherhood that goes beyond the traditional boundaries between maternal - paternal competences and skills, 3) Children’s needs and rights 4) What happens in disadvantaged families. This discussion suggests that these four basic pillars are necessary to ensure support for migrant minors both for their initial trauma and for their forced exile trauma. Finally I am initially proposing a re-conceptualisation of human beings and their difficulties so that their social, historical and economic context are taken into account, and our therapeutic interventions are rebuilt by reconciling various theories to make them more effective.
From the Therapist’s Couch and from the Stage to the Screen
Authors: Vaimberg Raúl
Published: July 2024

This is the path we take in this article, in order to understand the changes that are taking place in human communication and in the therapeutic setting in general, and within psychoanalytical and psycho-dramatic psychotherapies in particular.Transferring word to action and moving from the theatrical stage to technological reproducibility can lead to an increase in fear, triviality and isolation, as well as to a decreased sense of subjectivity. This being said, new possibilities have become available to broadcast psychotherapy, as well. New doors are open to individual and collective unconscious transformations and to the dramatization of scenes that travel within cyberspace, helping us build meaning that is constructive. To reach these objectives in the field of psychotherapy it is necessary for there to be, on the other side of the screen, a specialized listener that can aid us in this search for broader meaning.

El concepto de sociedad más allá de Moreno. Diseñando y creando sociedades que valoren el bien colectivo: lo que la IAGP y la EAGT pueden traer al mundo
Authors: Tauvon Kate Bradshaw
Published: July 2024

Podemos inspirarnos en las artes, los poetas, escritores y músicos para sintonizar nuestros sentidos a cada uno de los demás. JL Moreno, uno de los fundadores de la IAGP, junto con su esposa Zerka y otros, desarrolló el psicodrama, la sociometría y la psicoterapia de grupo, consideradas partes intermediarias entre el yo y el cuerpo, entre la pslaique y la sociedad. Este articulo describe la Sociatria (Sociatry), el estudio del modo en el que entrelazamos nuestra co-existencia, la cual puede ser medida a través de los instrumentos de la sociometria. De acuerdo con Moreno, nacemos al papel de genios creativos, el cual podemos usar para despertar el centro de curación autónomo en cada uno de nosotros. En este artículo la autora da algunos ejemplos de cómo esto puede ser usado y se centra en nuestra conexión con la biosfera, nuestra zona de vida en la tierra. Ella pregunta cómo podemos, juntos, dentro de todas nuestras redes, usar nuestras habilidades y conocimiento para lograr responder la pregunta fundamental de la humanidad concerniente a la resiliencia: la capacidad de vivir, persistir y desarrollarse en condiciones cambiantes en un mundo globalmente interconectado entre individuos, sociedades y naturaleza.
It was a difficult "business"

Published: July 2024

7VOLUME 8September 2020Revised VersionForum volume 8 was expected to be released during the fiscal year 2019. Because of a change in the governance, it took us time to find a new editor in chief. Eventually, Kate Hudgins, from the US, volunteered for this role in December 2018 and hence it was announced that the new Forum would be published in April 2020. Unfortunately, due to the sudden illness of Kate, the Editorial Committee was again on the verge of collapse and the schedule was greatly delayed. New arrangements had to be made, to ensure the success of the publishing: Roberta Mineo, from Italy, joined as editorial member; Kaoru Nishimura, from Japan, started to work as the acting editor in chief; Camino Urrutia Imirizaldu, from Spain, worked as the Spanish editor. The editorial work could finally resume
Culture, grief, group processes and hope in times of pandemic
Authors: Kutz Cristina Martínez-Taboada
Published: July 2024

This article aims to reflect on the grief in times of Covid 19 as well as its projection in a specific cultural perspective, such as the Spanish one, and its impact on the group and affective processes of individuals. We consider that analyzing the feelings and emotions of subjects or groups at high risk of complicated grief can favor the subsequent design of specialized and preventive interventions. This assumption arises from the participation in a virtual Symposium on The International Day of Hope and Healing After Loss (June, 2020) in the midst of the pandemic. The experience brought together organizations and leaders in the field. There was a convergence in which therapeutic processes, especially group ones, were nourished by the cultural traits and rituals that distinguish each society. Therefore, we can think that finding hope and well-being in times of pandemic is both a collective and individual path rooted in culture.
Role Play and its Applications
Authors: Gershoni Jacob
Published: July 2024

Scholars in various disciplines have studied applications of role playing into their chosen fields in psychology and social sciences. Their explorations of role play have spanned over a century. Yet, most colleges, universities, and mental health training institutions devote little effort to teaching role play in a systematic fashion, ignoring this set of skills, its deep roots and vast potential to enhance the work of professionals in psychotherapy, counseling, coaching, and education. This article sets out to survey some of the prominent social scientists whose writings described and helped shape role playing as an important cluster of techniques that may be applied to a wide variety of theoretical schools of thought. After reviewing different theories on role playing, this article describes the process and techniques as we have implemented at the Sociometric Institute in New York.

Historical evolution of sex and age estimation techniques through the skull
Authors: De Carvalho Naiá Taís Magalhães
Published: July 2024

The estimation of sex and age through cranial measurements is a fundamental practice in various fields such as physical anthropology, archaeology, and forensic medicine. Over the centuries, techniques and methodologies have been developed and refined to increase the accuracy of these estimates, reflecting advances in anatomical knowledge, imaging technology, and statistical analysis. This article aims to explore the historical evolution of these techniques, highlighting the major changes and innovations from the rudimentary methods used in early anthropological investigations to the sophisticated contemporary approaches incorporating cutting-edge technologies like computed tomography and machine learning algorithms. In addition to reviewing traditional methods, this study examines how the application of new technologies has contributed to greater accuracy and reliability in sex and age estimations, as well as the implications of these improvements for population studies and forensic investigations. By tracing this evolution, it seeks not only to provide a comprehensive overview of the historical development of these techniques but also to contextualize future trends and the challenges that still need to be addressed.

A fundação da primeira República do Brasil na América Portuguesa e a Guerra de 1709
Authors: Da Silva Célia Nonata
Published: July 2024

Este artigo analisa a influência e difusão do pensamento humanista ibérico, representado pela Escola de Salamanca, na formação de uma cultura política republicana na América portuguesa baseada nas ideias de liberdade política e no direito do povo à resistência. A circulação das ideias humanistas latentes na Europa moderna atravessa o Atlântico e projeta-se no solo mineiro do século XVIII, através da ação de padres que, ao incentivarem e orientarem os potentados locais nas suas atividades de resistência contra os governadores coloniais, criaram um comportamento participativo para os envolvidos e uma consciência política baseada no “direito do povo” de impor as suas próprias leis. Essa ideia republicana foi consumada em plena guerra com a eleição popular do governador de Minas, em 1709, quando os vassalos rebeldes deram origem à República dos Emboabas, configurada pelo poder civil, e impondo sucessivas rebeliões ao governo local da capitania em meados do século XVIII. Os resultados demonstraram serem os Emboabas sujeitos atuantes no espaço colonial, não meros subprodutos de uma relação de poder colonialista.
ChatGPT in Education: Applications, Concerns and Recommendations
Authors: Mbwambo Nicodemus Msafiri , Kaaya Peter Bernard
Published: July 2024

Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (chatGPT) is a language model that enables users to engage in natural language conversations with the system through text. The model is available through an easy-to-use, free web interface with impressive capabilities, which has contributed to its rapid popularity among students. This significant interest of students in utilizing chatGPT underscores the need to understand its impact on education. This paper presents applications, concerns, and recommendations on the use of chatGPT in education. The reviewed articles highlight several educational applications, including assisting students with writing tasks and helping teachers create learning materials. However, concerns have been raised about its unregulated use among students, particularly issues related to academic integrity, privacy violations, and potential biases. Regardless, many researchers advocate for the integration of chatGPT into the education system. Some do have reservations and recommend measures, including learning goals adjustments and development of new assessment forms to embrace ChatGPT in learning. While there is a great potential of chatGPT use in education, further research is needed to fully understand its implications when used without appropriate guidance and its long-term effects on students.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus has become one of the increasingly alarming global health challenges. As a chronic disease, diabetes results in various detrimental consequences, including high mortality rates and significant healthcare costs.
Objective: This research aims to determine the factors associated with blood sugar control behavior among diabetes mellitus patients in the Blang Kuta Community Health Center's service area.
Method: This study is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study consists of all DM patients in 4 villages in the Blang Kuta Community Health Center's service area, totaling 252 individuals. Sampling was conducted using proportional random sampling techniques, involving 72 DM patients. Data collection was performed through interviews using questionnaires and analyzed through univariate, bivariate analysis using chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression test using the SPSS program.
Result: The univariate analysis results revealed that the majority of respondents exhibited poor behavior (54.2%). Bivariate analysis results indicated a significant relationship between knowledge (p-value 0.000), level of education (p-value 0.002), gender (p-value 0.005), and self-efficacy (p-value 0.000) with blood sugar control behavior. However, variables such as family history (p-value 0.471) and duration of diabetes mellitus (p-value 0.277) did not show a significant relationship. Multivariate analysis results indicated that knowledge (p-value = 0.035, OR = 5.114) and self-efficacy (p-value = 0.000, OR = 13.278) are important determinants of blood sugar control among patients with diabetes mellitus.
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between knowledge, education, gender, and self-efficacy with blood sugar control behavior. However, variables such as family history of diabetes mellitus and duration of diabetes mellitus do not show a significant relationship. Nonetheless, factors strongly associated with blood sugar control behavior in diabetic patients are knowledge and self-efficacy.

Authors: Berutu Rina Elvrida , Rosmiati Risti , Emilia Esi , Haryana Nila Reswari , Ingtyas Fatma Tresno
Published: July 2024

Introduction: The prevalence of stunting among children aged 24-60 months is a critical public health concern including in the Puskesmas Siempat Rube working area. Inadequate maternal knowledge about balanced nutrition and inappropriate feeding practices can contribute to the incidence of stunting.
Objective: To analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge of balanced nutrition and maternal feeding practice on the incidence of stunting in children aged 24-60 months in the Puskesmas Siempat Rube working area.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in December 2023. The research sample consisted of 43 participants selected using purposive sampling. Balanced nutrition knowledge scores were categorized into poor, sufficient, and good; meanwhile, the higher the score for feeding practice, the better the mother's feeding practice was assumed. Height was assessed based on the TB/U indicator and categorized into stunting and not stunting. Hypotheses were analyzed using logistic regression tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
Result: The prevalence of stunting in this study was 69.8%. Most mothers had insufficient knowledge of balanced nutrition (90.7%), and the average feeding practice score was 58.4. Maternal knowledge of balanced nutrition and maternal feeding practice are significantly related to the incidence of stunting in children aged 24-60 months in the Puskesmas Siempat Rube working area (p < 0.05). Maternal knowledge of balanced nutrition and maternal feeding practice act as protective factors against the incidence of stunting. The odds of children aged 24-60 months experiencing stunting were 0.056 times lower if their mothers had sufficient knowledge of balanced nutrition compared to mothers with poor knowledge. Similarly, each 1-point increase in a mother's feeding practice score could reduce the incidence of stunting by 0.910 times compared to mothers with a feeding practice score one point lower.
Conclusion: Maternal knowledge of balanced nutrition and maternal feeding practice are significantly associated with the incidence of stunting in children aged 24-60 months in the Puskesmas Siempat Rube working area.
Factors Affecting the Occurrence of Medication Error (ME) in Hospital Pediatrics Unit: Literature Review
Authors: Devilia Laela Agrista , Inge Dhamanti
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Medication errors do not only occur in adult patients, but can also occur in pediatric patients. Systematic preventive measures are needed to prevent the occurrence of Medication errors in children. This is because pediatric patients have a weaker body than adult patients so that the negative impact of Medication errors will also have a greater effect on pediatric patients than on adult patients. Therefore, it is necessary to identify what factors can lead to the occurrence of Medication errors so that organizational leaders or related parties can determine what intervention actions can be taken to prevent the adverse effects of Medication errors for pediatric patients in hospitals.
Objective: The aim of this literature review is to analyze and determine what factors influence the occurrence of medication errors in hospitals, especially in the pediatrics unit.
Method: Article searches were conducted through several databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using the keywords "Factor" AND "Medication errors" AND "Pediatrics" AND "Hospital". The total number of articles found was 259 articles, but only 14 articles were relevant to the topic raised.
Result: The study was conducted in 24 hospitals in thirteen countries where each of these hospital has several factors that can cause medication errors in pediatric services with the most common factor being the lack of adherence of health workers to procedures or guidelines for drug administration to patients.
Conclusion: Medication errors that occur in hospital pediatric services are influenced by 3 factors, namely health human resource factors, patient family factors, and environmental factors.

Introduction: Stunting is one of the serious nutritional problems experienced by toddlers in the world as well as toddlers in Indonesia. Stunting has a negative impact on the quality of life in the future because it can interfere with the growth and development of toddlers, and can affect children's learning abilities. One of the factors causing stunting is the lack of parental knowledge about the importance of nutritional status in children. Meanwhile, the problems found in the field are errors and inaccuracies in the use of anthropometric tools used by posyandu cadres. One of the efforts to detect early stunting can involve the participation of parents, especially mothers, an activity is needed that aims to improve mothers' skills by providing anthropometric training and stunting prevention education.
Objective: Increase the knowledge capacity and skills of mothers of toddlers in efforts to detect early stunting with anthropometric measurement training and stunting prevention education in Quality Family Village, Bengkayang Regency.

Introduction: Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a major health problem in under-five children which can cause death. Exclusive breastfeeding can prevent infections, one of which is ARI.
Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the risk of ARI in under-five children.
Method: This research uses a literature review approach which measures the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the risk of ARI in under-five children. The data source uses secondary data in the form of articles obtained through two databases, namely Scopus and Springer Link.
Result: There are 5 articles that meet the requirements for research. Four out of five articles prove that exclusive breastfeeding reduces the risk of children under five getting ARI. The finding of a higher risk of ARI in the group of children under five who are not exclusively breastfed can be caused by a decrease in the immunity of children under five, seeing that breast milk is proven to fight infection. The content of sIgA and lactoferrin in breast milk and immunization can increase the immune system in children under five who suffer from ARI.
Conclusion: Breast milk has nutrients in it which are useful for preventing infectious diseases, such as ARI and pneumonia in children under five. Given the influence on the health of children under five, the findings of this study demonstrate the need for improvements in breastfeeding programs, with a particular emphasis on exclusive breastfeeding and ARI management. There is a need for widely accessible health workers, information, and services connected to care for moms.

Background. Salt-affected soils cause a significant portion of land to become unproductive yearly; its impact is severe in sub-Saharan African nations, especially the arid and semiarid lowlands, and the Rift Valley regions of Ethiopia are typically host to naturally salt-affected areas. Objective. To analyze the micronutrient content and map the micronutrient fertility status of agricultural salt-affected soils around Abaya and Chamo Lakes South Ethiopia Rift Valley. Methodology. A systematic sampling technique was employed to obtain 300 soil samples for the investigation from two depths (0-20 and 20-40cm), with a 600m sampling interval, of which 30 were used. The research data was analyzed using the application of standardized analytical procedures for soil data and descriptive and geostatistical techniques. Results. According to the study, there is low zinc available in the soil but an ample amount of iron, manganese, and copper. In addition, the study's findings revealed that, whereas the remaining micronutrient regional variability is found at long distances, available iron exhibited a regional variation in soil quality at small distances. Implications. The study suggests applying organic matter for better soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability.Moreover, the results recommend that soils affected by salt might recover using various materials. Conclusions. In the study areas, zinc fertilizer may still be needed for an optimal yield even though the research area has low amounts of zinc fertilizer. The study concluded with management recommendations to minimize the adverse effects of very high micronutrient content on human health and plant growth.

Waste generation poses a significant challenge in today’s world, prompting ongoing efforts to find effective solutions. While different countries have made varying progress in addressing this issue, environmental protection and the enhancement of food product quality remain key drivers. Notably, the agricultural sector enjoys an advantage: a relatively small proportion of its waste is hazardous. In fact, most of the waste generated is both safe and recyclable. Proper management of processing procedures is crucial to unlock its potential for widespread utilization across diverse economic activities and in various forms. This study aims to track the trends and compare agricultural waste generation in Bulgaria with that of the other EU Member States. It spans the years 2016, 2018, and 2020, analysing waste data by type for each year. Using available Eurostat data, the authors have made their own calculations. The findings underscore the importance of addressing waste management promptly, emphasizing the need to limit and minimize waste generation within the European Union during the specified period.
