Umgang mit Schuld in der humanistischen Seelsorge
Authors: Lauke Anke
Published: November 2022

Bei der Bewältigung von Schulderfahrungen kann gerade für nicht-religiöse und konfessionslose Menschen eine humanistisch-seelsorgliche Begleitung hilfreich sein. Humanistische Seelsorge ist eine professionelle Begleitung im Umgang mit Sinn- und ethischen Fragen auf Basis humanistischer Weltanschauung.

Dieser Artikel unterscheidet zwischen drei Aspekten von Schuld: erstens reale Schuld, bei der eine andere Person geschädigt wurde. Humanistische Seelsorge kann hierauf antworten durch eine Erweiterung des Raums für die Exploration moralischer Orientierung von Klient/-innen angesichts möglicher paradigmatischer Diskurse sowie durch Berücksichtigung der Fürsorge für die Klient/-in als auch jener für Dritte. Der zweite Aspekt, intrapsychische Schuldgefühle, wird als Ausdruck eines Verlangens nach einer authentischeren moralischen Orientierung gesehen und fordert dazu heraus, dieses aufzuspüren. Drittens erfordert existenzielle Schuld, die ein Bedauern über nicht gelebte Möglichkeiten des Lebens ist, die Fähigkeit, Klient/-innen zu unterstützen, zu den eigenen Potentialen zu stehen bzw. am Lebensende erlebte Tragik liebevoll anzunehmen.

Humanistische Seelsorge eröffnet angesichts aller Erscheinungsweisen von Schuld Raum, um moralische Orientierung im Zusammenhang des gesamten Lebens zu untersuchen. Vor allem liegt die Stärke humanistischer Seelsorge darin, sich mit Klient/-innen in den Morast existenzieller und ethischer Fragen zu begeben. Deshalb ist sie auch dann von Bedeutung, wenn kein gerader oder gar kein Weg durch Schulderfahrungen hindurch gefunden wird.

Published: November 2022

Los mercados tradicionales tienen un papel importante para generar soberanía alimentaria, pero la mayoría de ellos no son considerados en las políticas públicas debido a que dichas políticas tienden a beneficiar a los supermercados y mercados públicos; y en los casos en los que sí son considerados, más que favorecerlos, los controlan. El objetivo fue analizar la influencia de las políticas públicas implementadas por el gobierno municipal sobre el mercado tradicional de Miahuatlán de Porfirio Díaz respecto a su capacidad para contribuir a la soberanía alimentaria. Se utilizó un enfoque cualitativo con un sustento teórico basado en el concepto de soberanía alimentaria, mercado tradicional y políticas públicas municipales. Se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a los productores de hortalizas, autoridades municipales y líderes de productores; asimismo, se utilizó la observación no participante y participante. Los resultados demuestran que las políticas públicas sobre el mercado tradicional son políticas que tratan de controlar esta actividad.
Conserved Population Dynamics in the Cerebro-Cerebellar System between Waking and Sleep
Authors: Xu Wei , De Carvalho Felipe , Jackson Andrew
Published: November 2022

Despite the importance of the cerebellum for motor learning, and the recognized role of sleep in motor memory consolidation, surprisingly little is known about neural activity in the sleeping cerebro-cerebellar system. Here, we used wireless recording from primary motor cortex (M1) and the cerebellum in three female monkeys to examine the relationship between patterns of single-unit spiking activity observed during waking behavior and in natural sleep. Across the population of recorded units, we observed similarities in the timing of firing relative to local field potential features associated with both movements during waking and up state during sleep. We also observed a consistent pattern of asymmetry in pairwise cross-correlograms, indicative of preserved sequential firing in both wake and sleep at low frequencies. Despite the overall similarity in population dynamics between wake and sleep, there was a global change in the timing of cerebellar activity relative to motor cortex, from contemporaneous in the awake state to motor cortex preceding the cerebellum in sleep. We speculate that similar population dynamics in waking and sleep may imply that cerebellar internal models are activated in both states, despite the absence of movement when asleep. Moreover, spindle frequency coherence between the cerebellum and motor cortex may provide a mechanism for cerebellar computations to influence sleep-dependent learning processes in the motor cortex.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIt is well known that sleep can lead to improved motor performance. One possibility is that off-line learning results from neural activity during sleep in brain areas responsible for the control of movement. In this study we show for the first time that neuronal patterns in the cerebro-cerebellar system are conserved during both movements and sleep up-states, albeit with a shift in the relative timing between areas. Additionally, we show the presence of simultaneous M1-cerebellar spike coherence at spindle frequencies associated with up-state replay and postulate that this is a mechanism whereby a cerebellar internal model can shape plasticity in neocortical circuits during sleep.
Making Sense of the Multiplicity and Dynamics of Navigational Codes in the Brain

Published: November 2022

Since the discovery of conspicuously spatially tuned neurons in the hippocampal formation over 50 years ago, characterizing which, where, and how neurons encode navigationally relevant variables has been a major thrust of navigational neuroscience. While much of this effort has centered on the hippocampal formation and functionally-adjacent structures, recent work suggests that spatial codes, in some form or another, can be found throughout the brain, even in areas traditionally associated with sensation, movement, and executive function. In this review, we highlight these unexpected results, draw insights from comparison of these codes across contexts, regions, and species, and finally suggest an avenue for future work to make sense of these diverse and dynamic navigational codes.

Published: November 2022

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy holds tremendous potential for discovery in neuroscience. Much of the molecular machinery and anatomic specializations that give rise to the unique and bewildering electrochemical activity of neurons are nanoscale by design, ranging somewhere between 1 nm and 1 μm. It is at this scale where most of the unknown and exciting action is and where cell biologists flock to in their dreams, but it was off limits for light microscopy until recently. While the optical principles of super-resolution microscopy are firmly established by now, the technology continues to advance rapidly in many crucial areas, enhancing its performance and reliability, and making it more accessible and user-friendly, which is sorely needed. Indeed, super-resolution microscopy techniques are nowadays widely used for visualizing immunolabeled protein distributions in fixed or living cells. However, a great potential of super-resolution microscopy for neuroscience lies in shining light on the nanoscale structures and biochemical activities in live-tissue settings, which should be developed and harnessed much more fully. In this review, we will present several vivid examples based on STED and RESOLFT super-resolution microscopy, illustrating the possibilities and challenges of nano-imagingin vivoto pique the interest of tech-developers and neurobiologists alike. We will cover recent technical progress that is facilitatingin vivoapplications, and share new biological insights into the nanoscale mechanisms of cellular communication between neurons and glia.

Published: November 2022

Dendrites receive the vast majority of a single neuron's inputs, and coordinate the transformation of these signals into neuronal output.Ex vivoand theoretical evidence has shown that dendrites possess powerful processing capabilities, yet little is known about how these mechanisms are engaged in the intact brain or how they influence circuit dynamics. New experimental and computational technologies have led to a surge in interest to unravel and harness their computational potential. This review highlights recent and emerging work that combines established and cutting-edge technologies to identify the role of dendrites in brain function. We discuss active dendritic mediation of sensory perception and learning in neocortical and hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Complementing these physiological findings, we present theoretical work that provides new insights into the underlying computations of single neurons and networks by using biologically plausible implementations of dendritic processes. Finally, we present a novel brain–computer interface task, which assays somatodendritic coupling to study the mechanisms of biological credit assignment. Together, these findings present exciting progress in understanding how dendrites are critical forin vivolearning and behavior, and highlight how subcellular processes can contribute to our understanding of both biological and artificial neural computation.

Published: November 2022

The neuroscience of music and music-based interventions (MBIs) is a fascinating but challenging research field. While music is a ubiquitous component of every human society, MBIs may encompass listening to music, performing music, music-based movement, undergoing music education and training, or receiving treatment from music therapists. Unraveling the brain circuits activated and influenced by MBIs may help us gain better understanding of the therapeutic and educational values of MBIs by gathering strong research evidence. However, the complexity and variety of MBIs impose unique research challenges. This article reviews the recent endeavor led by the National Institutes of Health to support evidence-based research of MBIs and their impact on health and diseases. It also highlights fundamental challenges and strategies of MBI research with emphases on the utilization of animal models, human brain imaging and stimulation technologies, behavior and motion capturing tools, and computational approaches. It concludes with suggestions of basic requirements when studying MBIs and promising future directions to further strengthen evidence-based research on MBIs in connections with brain circuitry.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTMusic and music-based interventions (MBI) engage a wide range of brain circuits and hold promising therapeutic potentials for a variety of health conditions. Comparative studies using animal models have helped in uncovering brain circuit activities involved in rhythm perception, while human imaging, brain stimulation, and motion capture technologies have enabled neural circuit analysis underlying the effects of MBIs on motor, affective/reward, and cognitive function. Combining computational analysis, such as prediction method, with mechanistic studies in animal models and humans may unravel the complexity of MBIs and their effects on health and disease.
A Two-Stage Bayesian Sequential Assessment of Exploratory Hypotheses
Authors: Stefan Angelika M. , Lengersdorff Lukas L. , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: November 2022

Separating confirmatory and exploratory analyses is vital for ensuring the credibility of research results. Here, we present a two-stage Bayesian sequential procedure that combines a maximum of exploratory freedom in the first stage with a strictly confirmatory regimen in the second stage. It allows for flexible sampling schemes and a statistically coherent carry-over of information from the exploratory to the confirmatory stage. We believe that this procedure will facilitate preregistration as well as the formulation of precise hypotheses in the field of psychology and can be integrated elegantly into the registered report publishing framework. We demonstrate the methodology with a simulated application example from the field of social neuroscience.
Soil microbial communities vary in composition and functional strategy across soil aggregate size class regardless of tillage

Published: November 2022

The physicochemical environment within aggregates controls the distribution of carbon and microbial communities in soils. Agricultural management, such as tillage, can disrupt aggregates and the microscale habitat provided to microorganisms, thus altering microbial community dynamics. Categorizing microbial communities into life history strategies with shared functional traits—as has been done to understand plant community structure for decades—can illuminate how the soil physicochemical environment constrains the membership and activity of microbial communities. We conducted an aggregate scale survey of microbial community composition and function through the lens of the yield–acquisition–stress (Y–A–S) tolerator life history framework. Soils collected from a 7-year tillage experiment were separated into 4 aggregate size classes and enzyme activity, multiple-substrate-induced respiration, and carbon use efficiency were measured to reveal trade-offs in microbial resource allocation. Microbial community structure was interrogated with bacterial and fungal marker gene sequencing, and metagenomic features such as community weighted genome size and traits conferring stress tolerance were predicted using PICRUSt2. Consistent with our hypothesis, aggregates of different size classes harbored distinct microbial communities manifesting distinct life history strategies. Large macroaggregate communities >2 mm were classified as acquisition strategists based on increased enzyme activity relative to other aggregate size classes. Small and medium microaggregate (0.25–2 mm) communities did not show a strong tendency toward any particular life history strategy. Genes conferring stress tolerance were significantly enriched in microaggregates <0.25 mm (indicative of stress tolerators); however, these communities also had the highest carbon use efficiency (indicative of yield strategists). We found trade-offs in resource allocation between communities classified as yield and acquisition strategists consistent with the Y–A–S framework. Tillage did not alter life history strategies within aggregates, suggesting that the aggregate physicochemistry plays a larger role than agricultural management in shaping microbial life history at the scale studied.
In the Animal House
Authors: Bolman Brad
Published: November 2022

In the mid–twentieth century, the supply and control of pound dogs was a crucial area of focus and political contestation for American researchers, teachers, and academic administrators. By tracing the growth of the University of Alabama at Birmingham from a small extension school to a center of biomedical research within that context, this article explores the political economy of pound dog acquisition, revealing how stray dogs became “salvage commodities.” Rabies, a disease that disproportionately threatened the American South during the period, was strategically instrumentalized by university actors to convert the city pound into an animal production facility and expand the supply of highly valued dogs. By analyzing how this system of production was sustained by a racially stratified labor force within an intensely segregated city, the article connects the history of laboratory organisms to ongoing studies of the history of science, medicine, and capitalism.

Published: November 2022

Hutchinson‐Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a lethal premature aging disorder without an effective therapeutic regimen. Because of their targetability and influence on gene expression, microRNAs (miRNAs) are attractive therapeutic tools to treat diseases. Here we identified that hsa‐miR‐59 (miR‐59) was markedly upregulated in HGPS patient cells and in multiple tissues of an HGPS mouse model (LmnaG609G/G609G), which disturbed the interaction between RNAPII and TFIIH, resulting in abnormal expression of cell cycle genes by targeting high‐mobility group A family HMGA1 and HMGA2. Functional inhibition of miR‐59 alleviated the cellular senescence phenotype of HGPS cells. Treatment with AAV9‐mediated anti‐miR‐59 reduced fibrosis in the quadriceps muscle, heart, and aorta, suppressed epidermal thinning and dermal fat loss, and yielded a 25.5% increase in longevity of LmnaG609G/G609G mice. These results identify a new strategy for the treatment of HGPS and provide insight into the etiology of HGPS disease.

A short critical survey of N. S. Trubetzkoy's theory of neutralization and the archiphoneme
Authors: Akamatsu Tsutomu
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this paper is to attempt a short critical survey of the theory of neutralization and the archiphoneme which N. S. Trubetzkoy progressively developed from roughly the late 1920’s to 1938. His magnum opus, Grundzüge der Phonologie, saw the light of day the year after his decease in 1938. I have spread the net wider than just Grundzüge by studying a number of available pre-Grundzüge writings on the theory. Many aspects of the theory seem to have been unproblematically accepted by subsequent phonologists without critically discussing certain of the key points in the theory. It seems to me that the all-important notion of ‘neutralization’ suffers from certain aspects of the notion of ‘archiphoneme’ that Trubetzkoy presents which in turn suffers from his introduction of the notion of ‘archiphoneme representative’ whose nature remains obscure. The involvement of the concepts of ‘mark’, ‘marked’ and ‘unmarked’ creates further complications. Within the confines of the present paper, I have deliberately concentrated on Trubetzkoy’s writings only and left untouched what other interested linguists have had to say about Trubetzkoy’s theory of neutralization and the archiphoneme. The present work consists of first, my critical discussions of certain points in Trubetzkoy’s theory of neutralization and the archiphoneme and second, my own version of the theory by citing actual examples of my analyses of a few case of neutralization some languages.

Antybiotykooporność – problem XXI wieku. Wybrane sposoby jej przeciwdziałania w ramach podstawowej opieki zdrowotnej
Authors: Babicki Mateusz
Published: November 2022

Odkrycie antybiotyków jest jednym z największych osiągnieć współczesnej medycyny, jednakże ich nieracjonalne stosowanie doprowadza do stopniowego narastania zjawiska antybiotykooporności, która według Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia jest jednym z 10 największych zagrożeń dla zdrowia w XXI wieku. Przyczyn tego zjawiska jest wiele, przy czym nadmiarowe stosowanie antybiotyków w ramach lecznictwa ambulatoryjnego jest kluczowe. Pomimo że nie da się cofnąć wytworzonej już antybiotykooporności, należy dążyć do znacznej redukcji dalszego jej rozwoju. W ramach podstawowej opieki zdrowotnej kluczowe jest wdrożenie modelu racjonalnej antybiotykoterapii. W ocenie wskazań do włączenia antybiotyków pomocne mogą okazać się szybkie testy antygenowe w kierunku COVID-19, grypy czy też paciorkowców β-hemolizujących typu A (PBHA).

El artículo es el resultado de un macro proyecto de investigación que se ejecutó con estudiantes de un semillero de investigación que hace parte del programa de Entrenamiento Deportivo de una universidad de Colombia, el objetivo del estudio fue interpretar cómo los deportes adaptados resignifican el cuerpo de los deportistas, se ha pesquisado en deportes individuales y de conjunto de las diferentes ligas del departamento del Cauca (Colombia). En esta oportunidad se ahonda en el deporte del triciclismo, para ello se acudió a la historia de vida de dos deportistas con discapacidad adscritos a la Liga Deportiva de Parálisis Cerebral del Cauca (Lidepacc), ellos adquirieron la discapacidad en su juventud, y se refugiaron en el deporte para buscar nuevos horizontes y visibilizarse socialmente. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se optó por el enfoque cualitativo y el método biográfico narrativo, puesto que la línea de vida se reconstruye acudiendo al pasado, presente y futuro, permitiendo interpretar cómo los diferentes sucesos vividos en la trayectoria de vida influyen en la identidad y autoestima, pero sobre todo cómo el deporte ha influido en sus proyectos de vida. En este sentido, los datos se acopiaron acudiendo a entrevistas biográficas, que fueron transcritas para analizarse mediante el método artesanal de “sabanas” bajo la teoría fundamentada, que consiste en hacer categorías abiertas, axiales y selectivas, siendo estas últimas las categorías emergentes que se sustentan con las categorías axiales y abiertas. Para el presente artículo se aborda la categoría selectiva Ciclismo adaptado: deporte que resignifica el cuerpo no legítimo, soportada por las categorías axiales El triciclismo un deporte que permite soñar; y la tricícleta permite proyectarse y transitar otros caminos. Donde se concluye que la vida académica, familiar y el deporte adaptado, han permitido sobrepasar los estigmas sociales de la discapacidad, generando procesos de resiliencia que proveen autonomía y reintegración social.

La presente investigación, se enmarca en el campo de las ciencias sociales y tiene como objetivo primordial, identificar las afectaciones subjetivas y las respectivas prácticas de afrontamiento y resistencia que elaboran un grupo mujeres indígenas Makaguán de Fortul –Arauca, víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia. Esta investigación se desarrolló a través de un lente teórico interseccional. En otras palabras, se analizó historias de vida atravesadas por hechos violentos en Colombia, desde una perspectiva de género, etnicidad y clase social. En términos metodológicos y epistémicos, esta investigación se construyó a partir de un abordaje hermenéutico/ cualitativo y decolonial, en donde se privilegió las voces y discursos de aquellas mujeres víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia. Uno de los principales hallazgos de la investigación, hizo referencia al deseo de reintegración social a su resguardo de origen; territorio del cual fueron desplazadas y expulsadas hace una década. Producto del desplazamiento, las mujeres Makaguán y sus familias  han sufrido afectaciones materiales, subjetivas y simbólicas que recuperten hasta el presente. Pese a que en el año 2018, la comunidad ganó una tutela interpuesta ante el Ministerio de Interior, aún no se han reintegrado a su resguardo de origen. Se han realizado varios intentos por restituir sus derechos, no obstante, no se ha logrado llegar a un consenso claro entre las autoridades del resguardo Cusay la Colorada en Fortul-Arauca, las mujeres desplazadas y la institucionalidad local (Alcaldía y Gobernación). En el presente año, nuevamente se están realizando acercamientos entre las partes involucradas, con el objetivo de restituir principios violados como los relacionados con el derecho a la vida, territorio, identidad cultural, autonomía y participación comunitaria. En, suma, se hace necesario atender, escuchar y gestionar  la iniciativa de las mujeres  Makaguán por volver a su resguardo, en aras de garantizar efectivamente la restitución de sus derechos fundamentales.
PROPUESTA DE SEGUIMIENTO DE LA LIMPIEZA DEL RÍO BOGOTÁ A PARTIR DE SUS SERVICIOS ECOSISTÉMICOS
Authors: Villegas Vargas Carolina
Published: November 2022

A partir de la sentencia del río Bogotá del Consejo de Estado del año 2014, esta investigación propone un indicador para hacerle seguimiento a la recuperación de los servicios ecosistémicos del río, y de esta manera darle contexto biológico, social, cuantitativo y cualitativo a la sentencia. Para conocer el estado de los servicios ecosistémicos se diseñó una encuesta que evaluó 15 servicios ecosistémicos por medio de la escala de Likert del acuerdo, que fue aplicada a 266 personas adultas en dos lugares de la ribera del río: apenas éste llega a la ciudad conurbada y apenas sale de la ciudad. Entre los resultados más importantes se encuentra que la salud del ecosistema río Bogotá se deteriora al pasar por la urbe y recibir sus desechos, y, contrario a este resultado se encuentra que el beneficio de la naturaleza más valorado por la población encuestada fue cuidar de la naturaleza para las generaciones futuras.  Un resultado optimista con respecto al futuro que más que certezas deja preguntas acerca de cómo en entornos deteriorados aparecen valores trascendentales que evocan un mundo en paz y en unidad con la naturaleza.
FLAT LIKELIHOODS: BINOMIAL CASE
Authors: Montoya José A.
Published: November 2022

The shape of the likelihood function is often considered as one of the underlying causes of strange or counterintuitive estimation results. However, strange likelihood shapes may be a symptom of inferential issues related with the nature of the model and experimental data. In the cases discussed here, binomial flat likelihoods are related not only to sample size, but also to an embedded Poisson model problem. It is essential to understand the shapes of the likelihood function in order for being able to legitimately criticize likelihood inferences. This is particularly important since the likelihood function is a key ingredient in many inferential methods
FLAT LIKELIHOODS: THE SKEW NORMAL DISTRIBUTION CASE
Authors: Montoya José A. , Figueroa-Preciado Gudelia
Published: November 2022

Several references argue in favor of alternative estimation methods, rather than the likelihood one, when the likelihood function exhibits flat regions. However, in the case of the skew normal distribution we present a discussion describing the interpretation of those flat likelihoods. This distribution is widely used in several interesting applications and contains the normal distribution as a nested model and the half-normal as an embedded model. Here, we show that flat likelihoods provide relevant information that should be carefully analyzed before discarding its use and proposing other estimation methods. Two well-known examples, that have been reported as troublesome, are analyzed here, including also an exhaustive computational study. The analysis of different scenarios allows to understand not only the reason of this likelihood function shape, but also to discover the information this behavior provides.
The University as a Participant of the Regional Innovation Ecosystem: A Typology of Basic Behavioral Strategies
Authors: Akberdina V. V. , Vasilenko E. V.
Published: November 2022

This research is based on studying foreign works devoted to universities as participants of regional innovation ecosystems. The purpose of the article is to typologize basic strategies of universities’ behavior. The authors analyze the cases of various universities attempting to transform their behavior in accordance with the logic of the ecosystem approach. The authors’ typology of universities’ behavior strategies (passive, neutral, active) contributes to the literature on regional innovation ecosystems and the universities’ changing role in them. These three types are further subdivided into seven basic strategies of universities’ behavior according to the degree of their involvement in regional innovation processes, according to the internal and external environments of the university, as well as to the goals and objectives facing them. These strategies differ in five parameters: social and economic context, incentives for transformation, ecosystem structure, key participants’ roles, university’s goals and functions. The parameters are derived from a set of approaches synthesized by the «umbrella concept» of regional innovation ecosystems: the stakeholder approach, the concept of open innovations, the theory of agency relations, the transformational approach, the triple helix model and the quadruple helix model of innovation. The article might be of interest for those researchers who study the problems of regions’ economic and innovative development and the transformations of the modern higher education system in the world and in Russia. Of no less interest might it be for university managers, for representatives of regional authorities, and for businessmen aimed at cooperation with universities.
Russian Universities’ Third Mission: A Trend towards (Non)commercialization?
Authors: Dremova O. V. , Shcheglova I. A.
Published: November 2022

The idea of developing universities’ third mission, which lies in their contribution to the social and economic development of the region, city, and the whole country, has taken one of the central places in the research and management agenda of higher education in Russia. Despite the growing scientific and practical interest in this topic, the concept of the third mission has not been formed yet. Consequently, there is no clear understanding of how the academic community understands the role and meaning of the third mission. This paper aims at studying how students and staff members of one Russian national research university understand the third mission. Within this research, we conducted a series of focus groups with the university staff and students in 2021, the sample consisting of 74 informants. For data processing, there was used content analysis. The results showed vast differentiation of the informants’ views on the idea and objectives of the university’s third mission. For most of the respondents, the third mission equals the social mission. However, some also see it as an opportunity for professional development. Only a tenth of all the interviewees consider the third mission as an indicator of the university’s success and prestige. At the same time, the commercial component of this mission, which prevails in foreign universities, has been noted only by two informants. The study conducted might be of use for administrators and managers of Russian universities, as well as for researchers interested in developing the social involvement of students and university staff.
Managing the Development of University Teachers’ Digital Pedagogical Competencies in Theory and in Practice
Authors: Oreshkina T. A. , Zabokritskaya L. D. , Novikov M. Yu.
Published: November 2022

The article studies the development of higher educational institution teachers’ digital pedagogical competencies. Considering the current situation of uncertainty in higher education, the rapid change of digital platforms and services, the growing dynamics of changes and the emergence of new knowledge in the sphere of digital didactics, the authors propose a concept of forming a university digital transformation team. To meet the demand for high-quality digital educational products, there are required special organizational solutions, including the creation of pedagogical teams. The purpose of the article is to develop a model for assessing individual and team digital pedagogical competencies, which allows making managerial decisions and eliminating the lack of competencies in a team at the stage of designing digital educational products and services. The study analyzed the existing models of digital pedagogical competencies and drew the conclusion on the need to refine them with specific tools for assessing current individual and team digital pedagogical competencies for the development and implementation of an educational product or project. Based on the model proposed, the paper puts forward a general concept of a professional retraining program, which consists of three areas of assessment: technical, pedagogical, subject (area of research, direction of training). Based on the analysis of Ural Federal University’s experience of implementing distance learning using digital educational resources, the authors give recommendations on how to improve the efficiency of the development teams and the implementation of digital educational products. This publication might be of interest for managers of the higher education system, as well as for scholars and teachers interested in digitalization, digital didactics, digital transformation of universities and individualization of education.

The Representative Potential of Interest Groups: Internal Voice in Post-Communist and Western European Countries
Authors: Berkhout Joost , Beyers Jan , Hanegraaff Marcel
Published: November 2022

Why do some interest group systems provide group members with more elaborate voice opportunities than other systems? We argue that evaluating membership voice is important for understanding the representative potential of interest group systems. An adequate understanding of “voice” forms the basis of “context”-embedded assessments of benchmarks such as interest group bias, interest group representational distortion, and interest group-driven policy overload. We examine two competing hypotheses on the differences in internal voice in Eastern and Western Europe. Primarily, case-specific arguments lead us to expect a weaker internal voice in post-communist Eastern Europe compared to Western Europe. Conversely, some theoretical approaches, such as population ecological organisational theory, lead us to expect a relatively weak membership voice in the organisationally saturated Western European systems. We assess these two hypotheses on the basis of an international survey of interest group leaders and observe, in line with the population ecological hypothesis, that members of Western European interest groups, compared to those in post-communist countries, are perceived as having less influential voices in internal decisions on policy positions. We conclude, neither optimistically nor pessimistically, that there is a meaningful representative potential of interest group systems supporting democratic societies, also, or even especially, in the post-communist countries studied.

Introduction. Entrepreneurial education, as an area of educational practice in higher education, is a relatively new area of activity for Russian universities. In this area, due to the special dynamics of development and transformation, especially in a pandemic, there is the most significant gap between the competencies formed by universities and in demand on the labour market. The rationale for the research stemmed from two major trends in the economy and society: industry demand for workforce with greater enterprise skills, at the same time a new generation, generation Z, seeks more flexible and more fulfilling career path. Therefore, to address these trends, universities have to diversify the skill set included in the academic curriculum.Aim. This study is aimed at studying the problems of interaction between universities and their stakeholders in curricula improvement.Methodology and research methods. Taken into consideration the regulatory nature of the curricula design in Russian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) a two-step strategy has been adopted for this research. The first step was a concern with meta-analysis of the competencies outlined in Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) in Management through the lens of entrepreneurial competencies. The second step was to investigate inclusion of soft skills in entrepreneurship curricula in across Russian HEIs. To address the objective of research, descriptive statistics and non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test were applied.Results. The research findings suggest in the environment where the degree programmes have to comply with set Governmental standards, curricula in entrepreneurship struggle to develop essential soft entrepreneurial skills. Most of the analysed curricula are heavily loaded with hard and cognitive skills. Even though the government proclaims a need for innovative development of the nation, creative and innovative thinking is not mentioned either in the FSES nor analysed curricula. The research findings also led to a surprising conclusion that very few core ‘business’ modules include the development of social or action-oriented skills in their learning outcomes.Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the fact that for the first time the problems of ensuring the development of soft skills in entrepreneurial education in Russia have been studied.Practical significance. The results of the study will find their application in the design of entrepreneurial curricula to achieve the necessary balance of competencies in them.

Interprofessional collaboration strengthens health systems and enhances patient-centered care, but can be difficult to achieve for a variety of reasons. This explanatory sequential mixed methods study employed a survey, followed by a multiple case study, to describe factors that contribute to and inhibit interprofessional collaboration. For the survey, pediatric music therapists (n = 37) were surveyed regarding their workplace characteristics, collaborative relationships, perceived barriers and facilitators of collaboration, and perceptions of support for their work. The findings suggest that servant leadership style, interpersonal team processes, and perceptions of thriving at work act as predictors of interprofessional collaboration. Facilitators of collaboration included having many opportunities for information exchange with multidisciplinary coworkers. Barriers to collaboration included lack of time and perceived inequality between music therapy and other disciplines. For the multiple case study, four cases of music therapy programs were studied in-depth to describe how interprofessional collaboration is enacted and sustained, and to arrive at cross-case assertions regarding interprofessional collaboration with pediatric music therapists. The four cases were selected to include variety in the size of the music therapy team, the department in which the music therapy program was housed, the region of the United States in which the program was located, and the age of the music therapy program. Twenty-eight participants completed data collection. Sources of data included scores on standardized instruments measuring interprofessional collaboration and the servant leadership behavior of the focal music therapist, quantified data regarding referrals to the music therapy program, interviews, documents, and the reflexive journaling of the researcher. The results imply that organizations integrating pediatric music therapists into multidisciplinary teams should ensure that adequate time and opportunities are afforded for the pediatric music therapist to establish an understanding of the unique contributions they can make to existing programs and services. Future research would benefit from focusing on how members of different disciplines navigate shared goals in the provision of patient-centered care. Future research should also investigate the power dynamics between newer and more established healthcare disciplines, and how these power dynamics affect the newer discipline's efforts toward integration on a multidisciplinary team.
Exploring Japanese Anime and its Impact on Character Design in US Animation
Authors:   , Steele Christopher M. , Mauriello David A.
Published: November 2022

This thesis examines the history and relationship between Japanese anime and US animation in an attempt to discover how they have both influenced each other. This was accomplished by researching the origins of anime and the characteristics that make it unique as a medium. After choosing three of these characteristics case studies were conducted to breakdown these characteristics and examine their unique traits. Then after finding examples of these characteristics in anime, these examples can be used to find examples of these characteristics in US animation to determine the level of influence anime has had on US animation since its introduction in the US in the 1960's. This research found that there was anime influence found in some US animated series to varying degrees. Without direct confirmation from the creators of that the use of these characteristics is purposeful all of this is just purely circumstantial.
Narrative Inquiry Explorations in the Lived Experiences of African American Males Who Graduated Community College During COVID-19

The purpose of this narrative inquiry was to explore the stories of six African American men who graduated from a community college in the Mid-Atlantic region in 2020 during the COVID-19 global pandemic. These stories are important, as they contrast with numerous deficit-framed studies that showcase completion data on how African American males academically lag in juxtaposition to their collegiate peers; these stories of success are even more important now, as the enrollment of Black males in community colleges has declined during the global pandemic and community college leaders have been focused on increasing recruitment and completion rates among all students, including African American males. By applying Bush and Bush's (2013) African American Male Theory, this research sought to elevate the voices of Black men, particularly regarding the stories they shared that gave credence to the supports and interventions they used to complete their degrees. The three research questions that guided this study were: 1) What stories do Black males share about their academic experiences throughout community college during COVID-19? 2) What stories do African American males share about their personal lives, beyond academics, throughout their community college experiences during COVID-19? 3) What stories do African American males share about people or support programs that assisted them in successfully graduating community college during COVID-19? Data were collected using one-on-one, semi-structured interviews and restorying. The responses of six African American males who graduated from a Mid-Atlantic community college in 2020, particularly during the COVID-19 crisis, shaped the findings of this study, along with also helping to shape the summary and implications for future studies. The data analysis, using narrative thematic analysis, indicated that the participants found ways to create familial and cultural connections between and across academic and non-academic contexts, which ensured their ultimate successes, even with multiple barriers and often elusive supports. It was significant to note the lack of employment security for some of the participants, as well the direct impact that COVID-19 had on the instructional reception of the participants in this study.
