Authors: Dmitrochenko Tatyana V.
Published: July 2024

The article considers the issues of forming the professional subjectivity of future teachers. The article presents an analysis of the literature on the studied issues related to the subjectivity of the student (works by A.V. Beloshitsky, E.N. Volkova, A.V. Gvozdeva, M.V. Isakov, A.D. Kariev, L.G. Maidokina, etc.). Taking into account the specifics of the conditions of vocational pedagogical education, the author’s definition of the professional subjectivity of the future teacher was proposed, which is considered as a complex integrative personality quality that allows the future teacher to make an independent professional choice, plan, organize and evaluate his activities and the activities of students. The article examines the technological aspects of the formation of professional subjectivity of students-teachers. The theoretical and empirical substantiation of the technology of formation of professional subjectivity of future teachers in the process of mastering the content of pedagogical disciplines was presented. The issues of development of pedagogical technologies reflected in the works of V.P. Bespalko, M.V. Klarin, G.K. Selevko, V.A. Slastenin and others were considered. The article describes the components of the developed technology: the conceptual part (philosophical ideas of the subject and the subjectivity of personality, concepts of formation of professional subjectivity of a future specialist, etc.), the substantive part (goals of technology implementation and the content of education), the procedural part (a set of stages, organizational forms and teaching methods used educational technologies). The article also describes the implementation of the stages of technology for the formation of professional subjectivity of future teachers in the process of mastering the content of pedagogical disciplines by students (preparatory, activity, reflexive). The results of the implementation of technology for the formation of professional subjectivity of future teachers in experimental work are presented.

From structural racism to systemic solutions: racial equity in Brazil's banking industry
Authors: Vicente José , Oliveira Junior Moacir de Miranda , Faria Aline Mariane de
Published: July 2024

The objective of this study is to identify and analyze strategies that can be implemented to promote racial inclusion in the Brazilian banking sector. This study proposes a systematized set of sectoral strategies to reduce racial inequality in the Brazilian banking sector, called "Systemic Strategies for Racial Equity." This integrated, industry-specific approach has not previously been listed in the literature, offering a new perspective on implementing diversity policies, not just at an organizational level, but considering the industry as a whole. The qualitative research uses the case study strategy, focusing specifically on the Brazilian banking sector. Data collection procedures include semi-structured interviews with representatives of banking institutions, regulatory entities, and justice bodies, in addition to the analysis of institutional documents and secondary data. Data analysis follows the methodology of Gioia, Corley, and Hamilton (2013), involving first—and second-order coding to identify emerging themes, culminating in the aggregation of these dimensions into a theoretical model. Three main sectoral strategies were identified: the Legal Compliance Strategy, the Social Pressure Strategy, and the Recognized Excellence Strategy, which form the set of "Systemic Strategies for Racial Equity." Notably, these are not individual business strategies but sectoral ones that must be implemented and led by government institutions, regulators, or society. This study offers a theoretical contribution by proposing a systematized set of sectoral strategies to reduce racial inequality in the Brazilian banking sector. Socially, the research encourages discussion about the need for greater racial equity, highlighting the importance of comprehensive policies beyond isolated company actions.

Authors: Parente Bruna Velloso
Published: July 2024

O presente artigo tem por escopo a abordagem dada à transmissibilidade da herança digital no contexto do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Para tanto, por meio de análise qualitativa, exploratória, com base em pesquisa bibliográfica e em diplomas nacionais e internacionais, descreve os entendimentos aplicados ao conceito de herança digital em si, com relevância para a dicotomia estabelecida pela literatura jurídica acerca dos ativos patrimoniais e dos existenciais. A seguir, aborda as questões regulamentadoras à luz do sistema jurídico nacional, considerando tanto os Projetos de Lei n. 4.099/2012 e 7.742/2017, quanto às posturas adotadas pelos provedores de acesso e armazenamento de dados. Nesse ínterim, evidencia-se o caso paradigma enfrentado pelo o Bundesgerichtshof alemão quanto à sucessão digital, bem como a busca por modernização decorrente do Anteprojeto de Revisão e Atualização do Código Civil Brasileiro. Assim, o estudo reitera a complexidade que abarca as percepções dos ativos digitais frente ao direito sucessório, especialmente quando se percebem os seus diversos atores e as suas posturas adotadas ao longo da vida do autor de herança.

Authors: Mohamed Tarik N. , Alsafar Hassan , Felebman Mohamed
Published: July 2024

This study examines how exposure to angry versus neutral facial expressions affects facial temperature, aiming to validate thermograms as reliable measures of emotional responses. We focus on Saudi youth and explore the impact of different stimuli categories (young vs. old, male vs. female) on subjective feelings recorded by thermal cameras.The research involved a sample of 40 male participants selected from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia, with an average age of 21.8 years (SD = 1.3). All participants had normal or corrected-to-normal visual acuity. The study comprised two experiments to examine the impact of exposure to angry versus neutral faces on physiological responses. Thermal data were collected using infrared thermography, focusing on variations in facial temperature as a key indicator of physiological reactions. Participants were exposed to stimuli consisting of angry and neutral faces from various demographic categories, including males, females, young individuals, and elderly adults. This comprehensive methodology combined behavioral analysis and infrared thermography techniqueThe behavioral findings indicated that individuals exhibited increased response times (RTs) when classifying angry stimuli compared to neutral face stimuli. Infrared thermography revealed a notable impact of anger, particularly in Region of Interest 5 (the area around the upper jaw). This effect was especially pronounced in individuals exposed to angry facial expressions, but not in those analyzing angry expressions of younger individuals.These findings provide insight into the unique physiological responses triggered by angry facial expressions, specifically identifying temperature rises in specific facial areas. The results contribute to our understanding of the physiological mechanisms involved in the processing of facial expression recognition.

Opinion: What are the barriers to innovation in medicine?

Thomas J. Webster, PhD provides a firsthand account of the obstacles hindering innovation in medicine, covering publishing, conferences, politics, funding, universities, and industry. Innovation is hard. Such a simple word, but so many obstacles exist to innovate and, more importantly, to turn your innovation into a medical product that actually improves human health for ultimate technology validation. As I look back at my almost 25-year career innovating in medicine, I find myself continuously reflecting on how I was able to develop innovative solutions for improving medicine despite constant obstacles. One particular innovation that I am extremely proud of involves my efforts to integrate nanotechnology into orthopedic implants. How did my team and I develop nanotextured orthopedic devices now in over 30,000 patients in which zero implants have failed to date (no infection, no chronic inflammation, and no implant loosening) when the industry average shows orthopedic implant failure rates over 10%, increasing daily (Figure 1)?(1, 2)

From selfish silo to collaborative culture – embracing data-enabled cancer research

Aedin Culhane and Mark Lawler, Co-Leads of the eHealth Hub for Cancer, reflect on their data-enabled cancer research journeys, how their collaborative team science approach has reaped significant dividends in cancer research and policy and how the hub is inducing a paradigm shift in how health data are deployed on the island of Ireland. An article in The Wall Street Journal (not the normal reading material for scientists) in 2011 highlighted a new approach to performing scientific research that was gaining significant credence at the time. Entitled ‘The New Einsteins Will Be Scientists Who Share’ (with the strapline ‘From cancer to cosmology, researchers could race ahead by working together – online and in the open’), the article presaged an unprecedented change in how scientists interact with each other, ushering in a culture of collaboration and cross-disciplinary research. Nowhere was this change more obvious than in the genomics and data science community, where a bottom-up movement led to the creation of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH), bringing together researchers from around the world to work together to address some of human health’s greatest challenges through the deployment of data and data tools.
Symptomatic vs. Disease-modifying treatments in neurological diseases: Where next?

Symptomatic vs. Disease-modifying treatments in neurological diseases: Where next?

An optimal drug for chronic neurological disease would slow down disease progression in the long term, with short-term symptomatic benefits. This would shorten clinical development timelines and reduce the cost and risk level for drug developers. Henri Huttunen Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) at Herantis Pharma Plc explains. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), the development of motor symptoms is associated with the degeneration of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the midbrain. For decades, motor symptoms of PD have been treated with levodopa, a precursor of dopamine, which helps to replenish dopamine levels in brain areas coordinating movement. Levodopa is an example of a symptomatic treatment as it improves symptoms but does not interfere with the underlying causes or progression of the disease.
The challenge of generating lasting mucosal anti-viral sterilising immunity

The challenge of generating lasting mucosal anti-viral sterilising immunity

Achieving sterilising immunity is often challenging and sometimes even impossible. This article gives a glimpse into the concepts behind and highlights some recent advances and challenges. In its essence, sterilising immunity describes the removal of a virus from the host before it can replicate, and this kind of immunity would be the preferred outcome for vaccination as it efficiently limits the infection of the individual and the spread of disease within the community. A typical viral infection goes through a four-step cycle: first, the virus attaches to and enters a host cell; second, it copies its genetic material; third, it assembles new viral particles; and finally, it detaches to infect new cells. In its most straightforward form, sterilising immunity is achieved by the neutralisation of the infectious potential in the first step, (Wahl and Wardemann, Immunity, 2022) followed by their removal.

Empowering trans and nonbinary students against sexual assault

Sarah Peitzmeier, Micah Hopkins and Charlene Y. Senn describe how an effective sexual assault resistance program for women is being adapted for trans and nonbinary students. Transgender and nonbinary college students face a staggering rate of sexual violence, with national estimates suggesting that 40% of trans and nonbinary undergraduates are sexually assaulted during their four-year enrollment. (1) Even so, no sexual assault prevention programs for trans and nonbinary students have been designed, tested, and widely implemented.

A call for intersectionality in gerontological nursing education

Addressing the triple jeopardy of ageism, sexism and racism within healthcare systems is crucial to ensuring equitable health outcomes for all older people, write Professor Jordana Salma, Professor Sherry Dahlke and Professor Kathleen Hunter of the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta. Ageism involves negative thoughts, beliefs and behaviours towards older people, and its effects are felt worldwide, leading to the denial of human rights based on age (World Health Organization, 2021).

Asbestos-induced autoantibodies across Libby demographics

Aiden Niblett, Jean Pfau, and Kinta Serve focus on asbestos-induced autoantibodies across different demographics in Libby. They emphasize the importance of understanding the impact of asbestos. Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral that has been used in construction due to its tensile strength and heat resistance. However, its small size and rigid shape allow it to enter deep into the respiratory tract upon inhalation, and exposures have been linked to serious lung diseases like pulmonary fibrosis and cancers. (1) The town of Libby, Montana, has a history of asbestos exposure due to a local vermiculite mine that operated from 1920-1990. Vermiculite mined from Libby and sold in products such as Zonolite Attic Insulation was found to be contaminated with Libby Amphibole (LA) asbestos, a unique mix of tremolite, winchite, and richterite fibers that is associated with severe lung diseases.

The future of AVS, dizziness, and vertigo in emergency departments Part iii: A tyranny of distance – the persistence of rural health inequity

In the third article of this five-part series, Dr Millie Nakatsuka discusses the impact of isolation on health equity and the medical decision-making for emergency presentations of acute vestibular syndrome (AVS). People in rural and remote areas bear a significantly higher burden of disease and have poorer health outcomes. They have greater socio-economic disadvantage with lower levels of educational attainment, lower rates of employment, lower income and exhibit more health risk factors with markedly increased rates of obesity, tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption.

Getting leptospirosis onto the lists of neglected tropical diseases

Leptospirosis is a globally important infectious disease, but neglected to the extent that it’s not on WHO’s or FDA’s neglected tropical diseases lists; this needs to change. Leptospirosis, caused by spirochetes of the bacterial genus Leptospira, poses a significant yet poorly recognized global public health threat. Incomprehensibly, this disease remains neglected by the global health agenda. Leptospirosis is estimated to cause more than a million cases and over 60,000 deaths annually, with case fatality rates of up to 20%. (1) Hence, leptospirosis is the most important zoonotic bacterial disease worldwide. It is common in tropical regions of low- and middle-income countries such as Brazil, India, China, Indonesia, Peru, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, and it affects high-income countries, too, including the United States and Europe.

The "Silent Killers" of business success

Dr. Michael (Mike) Beer, Professor Emeritus at Harvard Business School, explains the “silent killers” of business success that top management are unaware of. For the past forty years, I and my colleagues at TruePoint, a management consulting firm I co-founded, have worked with courageous leaders willing to enable truth to speak to power - them and their top team - about barriers to their organization’s effectiveness and performance. Hundreds of organizations across the globe, in many different industries, in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, have reported the same syndrome of seven highly interdependent barriers. We have called these barriers the “silent killers” of learning and change because, like hypertension and cholesterol in the human body, they are hidden barriers to organizational health and effectiveness.

Collective quantum phenomena and their applications

John H. Miller, Jr., University of Houston (UH), from the Dept. of Physics and Texas Center for Superconductivity, explains collective quantum phenomena and their applications. The evidence supporting the quantum behavior of electrons, as well as every other known particle in the universe, is overwhelming. On the centennial anniversary of Max Planck’s seminal paper on energy quantization (1), Kleppner and Jackiw pointed out, “Quantum theory is the most precisely tested and most successful theory in the history of science”.

Improving the wellbeing of older adults through community-based music and movement programs

Find out here about a geriatric psychiatry program at the Music and Mental Health Research Clinic that improves the wellbeing of older adults. How do music and movement affect the mental wellbeing of older adults? The Music and Mental Health Research Clinic at the University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research at the Royal will explore this question with a new geriatric psychiatry program that aims to design and carry on community-based music and movement (COMM) interventions with older adults (55+). The program will examine the benefits of these interventions on the psycho-social conditions of older adults with dementia or experiencing mental illness, including, among others, depression and anxiety. The learnings will support the integration of evidence-informed music interventions into older adults’ social and healthcare.
