Map-Activate-Check (MAC) is a systems thinking based curriculum and program design strategy that integrates cognition, learning, and evaluation. MAC has been applied to diverse situations including formal and non-formal youth education, adult learning, program development and evaluation, and community programming, and in varying scales from a single lesson or presentation to an entire unit or program.

The fields of cognition, learning, and evaluation are all highly researched and developed fields. MAC builds relationships among these distinct and often isolated fields to provide a tool that helps practitioners develop effective learning experiences and programs. MAC offers a structured approach to curriculum and program design that integrates systems thinking into education and enhances learning experiences.
The Four Waves of Systems Thinking
Authors: Cabrera Derek , Cabrera Laura , Midgley Gerald
Published: January 2024

This Handbook is about the past, present, and future of systems thinking. It captures the history of systems thinking over its first three ‘waves,’ which are thought of as significant paradigmatic time periods in the history of the field. It then introduces a (possible) emerging fourth wave. Herein, we review the first three waves, as they have been written about in depth before, and dedicate more space to describing the fourth wave, as this is likely to be new to many readers. We cover all four waves as an entree to the many chapters, which were both recommended by an International Advisory Board (listed and thanked in the front material of this book), and written by esteemed invited authors. These chapters aptly describe the various frameworks that characterize the different waves; and notably include how those frameworks have continued to evolve since their origin.
Bringing Labour Markets Back in: Inclusionary and Exclusionary Solidarities in Platform Delivery Work in Italy and Belgium
Authors: Bayurgil Ladin , Mara' Claudia , Pulignano Valeria
Published: January 2024

This research showcases the ways in which the labour market informs the formation of different types of solidarities among platform workers. Building on qualitative research that focuses on the delivery sector in Italy and Belgium, we demonstrate diversity in forms of solidarities built among platform workers. While in Italy, in- and out-group boundaries, particularly those based on language and ethnicity, are successfully crossed by platform workers resulting in what we describe as inclusionary solidarities, in Belgium, they remain rigid resulting in exclusionary solidarities. Our findings demonstrate that two distinct forms of solidarity are informed by the functioning of labour markets, which shape workers’ options for exit outside of the platform world and hence the degree of platform dependency. These processes contribute to the creation of variegated understandings of self and others at work and in the labour market at large that in turn inform the ways in which workers relate to one another and form solidarities.

Published: January 2024

Life contentment denotes the measure to which an individual finds joy in their life, encompassing contemplative reflections and constituting an element of overall happiness and self-well-being. Objective: To assess levels of contentment with life among nursing students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a private nursing institute in Karachi, Pakistan, from October to December 2023. Additionally, a convenient sampling technique was used, with a total of ninety-eight student participants included in the study. Results: 98 participants reveal a predominantly young group (84% aged 18-24) with balanced gender distribution (49% male, 51% female) and diverse education levels (30% 1st year, 29% 2nd year, 16% 3rd year, 25% 4th year). Contentment levels varied (6.1% low, 37.8% moderate, 56.1% high). Demographic analysis showed no significant age differences based on gender or education years (p > 0.05). This comprehensive overview informs understanding of nursing student well-being. Conclusions: Most participants reported high life contentment, with no significant age differences based on gender or education years. Overall, the findings offer valuable insights into the well-being of nursing students, emphasizing the role of diverse demographics.
Capabilities, knowledge and skills of superior human resources through the competency of Tanjung Balai Karimun Port Employees, Riau Islands, Indonesia
Authors: Kenedi Jon , Wibisono Chablullah , Astriani Fitri , Noviyanti Noviyanti , Syukur Ihram Bani
Published: January 2024

The community complains about the service at the sea passenger port in Tanjungbalai Karimun because it is considered unfriendly to passengers. This port is the only entrance to The Tanjung Balai Karimun Port and was built decades ago. One complaint is the surly service. The number of respondents in this study was 300. With the Slovin formula, 172 samples were obtained. The analysis tool used the AMOS software version 24. The following results were obtained. The Capabilities’ influence on the Competence metric indicates a positive impact. A strong positive correlation exists between the Determination and Knowledge of Competence variables. In this case, the Skills vs. Competence outcome is overwhelmingly favorable. Knowledge has an excellent impact on the Superior Human Resources decision. In a highly encouraging turn of events, the Capabilities variable’s determination of the Superior Human Resources variable was found to be true—an optimistic but unimportant result from applying The Skills variable to the Superior Human Resources variable. Competence has a highly favourable effect on the Super Human Resources criterion. Competence on the job has a square correlation of 89.6%, whereas superior human resources correlate with 100.00%. The already significant factors are being kept that way, while the determination of the Skills variable on the Superior Human Resources team requires some work.
Information technologies used in medical education
Authors: Cervantes Lopez Miriam Janet , Escobedo Raúl de León , Castillo Arturo Llanes , Flores Ricardo Salas
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The objective of this article is to conduct a literature review to understand and analyze the use of information technologies in medical education. Design/methodology/approach: In this documentary article, the method employed focused on the review of various databases (Scopus, Redalyc, Scielo, and Web of Science). Findings: As a result, it was found that telemedicine, in particular, has facilitated online consultations and real-time feedback, enhancing the quality of healthcare and promoting continuous professional development. Virtual medical simulations have provided a safe and controlled environment for students and professionals to practice clinical skills, refine techniques, and build confidence before facing real-life situations. Additionally, access to online educational resources, such as digital libraries and medical journals, has expanded access to medical knowledge and enabled students and professionals to stay updated in an ever-evolving field.
Matermorphoses: Motherhood and the Ovidian Epic Subject
Authors: McAuley Mairéad
Published: January 2024

While in Virgil’s Aeneid mothers are evoked sporadically only to be marginalized by the epic’s forward narrative thrust, in his Metamorphoses Ovid pushes mothers centre stage, as subjects and protagonists of their own extended narratives, privileging rather than repressing their voices. This article surveys some of the interpretive and thematic possibilities of placing the maternal at the heart of a reading of Ovid’s epic. It argues that Ovid exploits the metamorphic potential of maternity, its conflation of the boundaries of the body, inside and outside, self and other, and its association with paradoxical roles and extreme passions, to explore and redefine aesthetics and personal relations in the Augustan era. The intense psychic struggles and emotional monologues of Ovid’s mothers, which are linked to motherhood as physical and bodily process, become key elements in this poem’s unprecedented exploration of the contradictory and multiple nature of subjectivity itself.
Fictive Motherhood and Female Authority in Roman Cities
Authors: Hemelrijk Emily A.
Published: January 2024

This paper discusses the meaning and function of female kinship titles in the Latin West, focusing on the title of mother of a city or a collegium, on the basis of a small corpus of Latin inscriptions recording mothers of cities and collegia in the cities of – mainly central – Italy and a few cities in the Balkan and Danubian regions in the second and third centuries AD. It is argued that the title of mater implies a lasting and hierarchical relationship between a locally prominent woman of wealth and the city or collegium she fostered. Like the title mater patriae (or mater castrorum et senatus et patriae), which was granted to some women of the imperial family in the second and third centuries, it is characterized both by authority and loving care. Thus, metaphorical motherhood indicated a position of female authority in male institutions, cast in socially acceptable terms.
Greek Tragedy: A Rape Culture?
Authors: Rabinowitz Nancy Sorkin
Published: January 2024

This essay looks at rape in Greek tragedy through the lens of several moments of feminist theorizing and activism about rape. Starting with a study of second and third wave feminist approaches, it analyzes those plays that seem closest to modern ideas of rape (non‑consensual sexual contact) – Aeschylus ‘Suppliants, Euripides’ Ion and Hippolytos, as well as the Trojan War plays, Trojan Women and Andromache. It shows that in each case there is ambiguity between rape and marriage. In the end, it asks the question of how should we read and teach these texts? The ambiguous discourse supports the notion that the plays, like epic, are part of the normalization of rape (that is, establishing a rape culture), but if read with care, we can avoid reproducing that effect for ourselves and our students.
Lycoris Galli/Volumnia Cytheris: a Greek Courtesan in Rome
Authors: Keith Alison
Published: January 2024

This article analyzes the strategic representation of an elegiac mistress (puella), Gallus’ Lycoris, and her putative inspiration, the freedwoman and mime‑actress Volumnia Cytheris, across a number of Latin literary genres, both verse (elegy, bucolic, epigram) and prose (political invective, informal epistles, inscriptions). It argues that the investigation of ancient literary and material evidence together can illuminate our understanding of ancient attitudes to women, in this case to the figure of a Greek courtesan in late republican Rome, and enrich our knowledge of women’s lived experience in Roman antiquity.
Der literarische Topos des Mangels an Diplomatie und der Effekt auf die Darstellung der Argeadinnen Eurydike und Olympias
Authors: Müller Sabine
Published: January 2024

In griechischer und römischer Literatur konnte die Zuschreibung diplomatischen Ungeschicks an politische AkteurInnen Stilmittel der Negativporträtierung sein. Die Häufung der Zuschreibungen von undiplomatischem Benehmen an als „barbarisch“ oder „tyrannisch“ konnotierte Personen mahnt zur kritischen Skepsis. Der Topos wurde auch auf männliche und weibliche Mitglieder der argeadischen Monarchie übertragen, da diese von griechischen und römischen Autoren häufig als „barbarisch“ oder „tyrannisch“ beschrieben wurde. Im Folgenden wird dies anhand von zwei Fallbeispielen gezeigt: den diplomatischen Interaktionen von Eurydike, Gattin von Amyntas III. und Mutter Philipps II., und von Olympias, Frau Philipps II. und Mutter Alexanders III., zwei besonders prominent hervortretenden Repräsentantinnen ihrer Dynastie. Die Identifikation des Topos eines Mangels an Diplomatie als literarisches Stilmittel ermöglicht eine noch kritischere Sicht auf die literarische Porträtierung dieser beiden Agentinnen ihres Hauses. Ihre Beteiligung an diplomatischen Aufgaben wird somit der negativen Deutung entzogen, die sie oft in Antike (und Moderne) als vermeintliche „Einmischung“ oder Zeichen von „Herrschsucht“ erfuhren. Dies mag exemplarisch für die Behandlung anderer makedonischer royal women sein.
Ovid’s Callisto and Feminist Translation of the Metamorphoses
Authors: McCarter Stephanie
Published: January 2024

This article lays out several feminist strategies for translating Ovid’s Metamorphoses, arguing that these enable translators to clear away the patriarchal bias that has influenced previous translations of this epic. Using the Callisto episode as a case study, I show how major English translations obscure sexual assault, mitigate the criminality of those who perpetrate rape, and assign modern gender expectations and stereotypes to the past. Through careful close reading, feminist translators can question longstanding assumptions about the text that have been inherited from one translator and scholar to the next. Feminist translation, moreover, illuminates how our own contemporary assumptions were not necessarily shared by Ovid and his culture.
The Meanings of Softness: Some Remarks on the Semantics of mollitia
Authors: Williams Craig
Published: January 2024

Taking the adjective mollis and related words (mollitia, mollire, etc.) as my example, I suggest how some of the tools used by linguists working in the area of lexical semantics can supplement the rich resources of lexicography (TLL) by shedding further light on the question of what it means to ask what a word “means” in general, and how this set of words in particular fits into the sex-gender system informing the Latin textual tradition. Out of the wide range of topics in lexical semantics, I here focus on two: sense-relations and polysemy. The paper concludes with an illustration of how use of these tools can add nuance to our reading of the language of mollitia in Catullus 16.
Sons and fathers in the catalogue of Argonauts in Apollonius Argonautica 1.23-233
Authors: Harder Annette
Published: January 2024

In this article the catalogue of Argonauts in the Argonautica of Apollonius is analyzed from the point of view of the sequence of generations and notions of progress and degeneration connected with that. The investigation focuses on the ways in which the Argonauts are portrayed as successors of the earlier generation of the Lapiths, who fought against the Centaurs, and as fathers of the next generation of the heroes fighting in the Trojan War.
Blaming Helen: Vergil’s Deiphobus and the Tradition of Dead Men Talking
Authors: De Boer Katherine R.
Published: January 2024

This paper reconsiders the narrative of his own death delivered by the shade of Deiphobus in Aeneid 6 (509-530). This episode is usually compared to Agamemnon’s encounter with Odysseus in the first nekuia of the Odyssey, but I argue that the underworld meeting of Agamemnon and Amphimedon in the second nekuia (Odyssey 24.121-190) is also an important intertextual model. Deiphobus and Amphimedon both accuse a woman – Helen, Penelope – of conspiring with their sexual rivals – Menelaus, Odysseus – to bring about their deaths. Yet comparison of Amphimedon’s and Deiphobus’ narratives highlights the misleading and self-aggrandizing character of their rhetoric and raises questions about how women are represented by male narrators and by the epic tradition more broadly. This paper suggests that Deiphobus’ narrative works together with other competing and contradictory views of Helen within the Aeneid in order to fracture the epic tradition’s univocal representation of her – and women more generally – as casus belli.
Let Go of Laqueur: Towards New Histories of the Sexed Body
Authors: Holmes Brooke
Published: January 2024

Once upon a time, the body had no sex. This is the story that has long been told about the history of the sexed body in “the West” under the influence of Thomas Laqueur’s book Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud, published in 1990. It has continued to be told across disciplines, despite incisive critiques of Laqueur’s use of evidence and historical analysis, most recently in Helen King’s The One-Sex Body on Trial (2013). We need to let go of this story once and for all. This article again marshals the historical evidence against Laqueur’s story alongside a critique of that story’s historiographical tropes, a critique indebted to two decades of work in queer theory and the history of sexuality on logics of alterity and affinity in narratives about the premodern past. Laqueur’s account, it is argued, relies on the mutually reinforcing support of two binaries: sex vs. gender and modern vs. premodern. By interrogating each of these binaries, the article proposes new directions in the history of the sexed body within the many traditions of knowledge and practice in dialogue with learned Greek medical texts. It is first shown that, freed from a later twentieth-century opposition of sex and gender, the evidence from the ancient Greek medical and philosophical tradition yields views of the sexed body that often bring together a commitment to sexual difference as physically embodied with a commitment to therapeutic and normative techniques of gender designed to correct for the waywardness of matter. These views, moreover, are many and diverse. The second half of the essay aims to disrupt the monolithic categories of “premodern” and “modern” by emphasizing the diasporic and non-linear nature of the reception of Greek medical texts and the complications of what Ahmed Ragab evocatively calls the “sexscape” that they produce; the importance of situating accounts of “the Greeks” within the dynamics of various historical moments, especially in the early modern period, so pivotal for Laqueur’s story; and the persistent influence of a Foucault-influenced narrative of the premodern past’s radical alterity on the history of the sexed body. The article argues for reading the complexity of the premodern past together with the complexity of our relation to that past.
The Lineup: Passion, Transgression, and Mythical Women in Roman Painting
Authors: Bergmann Bettina
Published: January 2024

Five fresco fragments from a second-century villa at Tor Marancia outside Rome, now housed in the Vatican Museums, depict five mythological women guilty of crimes – adultery, incest, treason, bestiality, and suicide – shown in different moments of desire, intention, and remorse. The series recalls the popular literary catalogues of passionate women by Latin authors as well as performances, but painted on the walls of a small room, the static series invited particular kinds of viewer response. I argue that viewers could associate the figural types and poses (schemata) with well-known images of women in similar straits. The iconography of the figures suggests sophisticated viewing habits and a kind of intervisuality quite like the intertextuality found in written versions of the same tales. The Tor Marancia frescoes appear to be one surviving example of a much older, ongoing tradition of Greek and Roman pictorial galleries of tragic heroines.
Crowded and emptied houses as status markers of aristocratic women in Rome: the literary commonplace of the domus frequentata
Authors: Foubert Lien
Published: January 2024

In Republican and imperial Rome, the house was seen as a locus of public life and a symbol of the status of its male residents. The influential position of elite women turned the houses that they owned, or the residential space with which they were associated the most, into appealing elements of literary discourse. Central to all the anecdotes discussed in this contribution is the idea that a woman who gathers people around her might, at some point, become a political force to be reckoned with. Modern scholarship has often characterized the Julio-Claudian period as a period of trial and error. The portrayals of Julio-Claudian women illustrate this most clearly: whereas state-regulated media, such as imperial coins or senatorial decrees, show that these women were given a visible role in public life and were consequently considered as influential members of society, they were never recognized as formal players in the struggle for power. Describing their residence and its visitors enabled ancient writers to point this out. The women whose domus frequentata is discussed in this contribution are: Verres’ mistress Chelidon, Clodia Metelli, Cornelia, Octavia, Livia, Agrippina the Elder, Messalina, and Agrippina the Younger.
Courtesans Reconsidered: Women in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata
Authors: McClure Laura
Published: January 2024

This essay provides a reassessment of the view that the young wives of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata are modeled on hetaeras. It begins by examining a parallel debate in contemporary Attic red-figure vase paintings of women at home to show that displays of female sexuality are not incompatible with marriageable maidens and free citizen wives. Aristophanes similarly situates his female characters within a domestic context as the site of sexual and social legitimacy. A detailed analysis of clothing, footwear and grooming practices deployed in the sex strike demonstrates that they represent the standard accoutrements of housewives rather than of hetaeras. Their domesticated eroticism, while enabling the male spectators a voyeuristic glimpse of other men’s wives, reinforces their procreative function as mothers and producers of future Athenian citizens. The importance of sexual desire within marriage for the production of legitimate offspring is dramatically reinforced by the onstage presence of the boy child in the thwarted sexual encounter of Myrrhine and Cinesias. Aristophanes’ Lysistrata fits with a pattern of heightened interest in women and domestic ideology at the end of the fifth century BCE. The centrality of marriage in the play may represent a response to the erosion of Pericles' citizenship law in response to the depletion of Athenian men in the waning years of the Peloponnesian war.
Preposterous Poetics and the Erotics of Death
Authors: Goldhill Simon
Published: January 2024

“Preposterous Poetics and the Erotics of Death” looks at two crucial issues of late antique poetics and the representation of gender through the Dionysiaca of Nonnus. First, it discusses how Nonnus constructs a narrative which links mythic stories in a willfully confused chronological patterning, which allows events in the future of narrative time to bear on the current story-telling. This is explored both in its aesthetics of exemplarity and in its theological understanding of narrative time. “Preposterous” is understood thus in its etymological sense of the confusion of the “pre-” and the “post-”. Second, this article explores through such a model of poetics how Nonnus represents a bizarre and un-paralleled scene of necrophiliac desire on the battle-field. On the one hand, this disturbing scene of corrupt erotic desire in action is expressed through the model of Achilles and Penthesileia (an event far in the future for the time of the Dionysiaca); on the other hand, it utilizes a strange narrative technique of the narrator describing the scene, followed immediately by the desire-stuck soldier also describing the scene from another perspective. The article explores how this doubled representation opens a question – a question that goes to the heart of late antique poetics – of what it means to repeat, to paraphrase, to rehearse the inherited language of classical, epic sexual desire in the new world of the Christian empire.
Domestic violence, tragedy, and reconciliation in Menander’s Perikeiromene
Authors: Traill Ariana
Published: January 2024

Menander’s Perikeiromene centers on a haircut forcibly imposed on a free woman by her lover, a recently demobilized soldier. This paper interprets the haircut against evidence of domestic violence in ancient Greece, tragic models of self-sacrificing virgins, and contemporary studies of intimate partner violence. Glykera’s loyalty to her natal home shows an internalization of patriarchal values, in the tragic tradition. Although Polemon shows striking similarities with modern perpetrators and victim disfigurement is common, the actual act of cutting the victim’s hair is not and he shows some elements of the kind of abuser who can change.
The Erotics of Manumussion: Prostitutes and the πρᾶσις ἐπ’ ἐλευθερίᾳ
Authors: Glazebrook Allison
Published: January 2024

This paper explores evidence for third party manumissions, indicated in the sources by forms of λυέσθαι and λυτρώσασθαι. It considers the procedure followed and the legal status of slaves freed in this manner, but the focus is on conceptions of this method of manumission and social mentalities toward it. The paper concludes that this practice was an informal procedure of manumission used to free prostitutes. Oratory and comedy employ it as an example of youthful extravagance and to comment on an opponent’s negative mental state. It also highlights a common stereotype of prostitutes as manipulative and scheming. While the procedure of third party manumission supports arguments for different classes of freed slaves, it also questions the idea that masters imposed formal conditions on the freedom of ex-slaves in classical Athens.
Callimachus and Hippocratic Gynecology Absent desire and the female body in ‘Acontius and Cydippe’ (Aetia FR.75.10-19 Harder)
Authors: Kazantzidis George
Published: January 2024

This article invites a reading of Cydippe’s medical case in the third book of Callimachus’ Aetia (fr.75.10-19) in light of Hippocratic gynecology. In the first part, I discuss in detail Cydippe’s three illnesses, focusing on their rich medical allusions and illustrating how they all create a coherent medical record. While on the face of it Cydippe’s clinical symptoms resemble descriptions of lovesickness in Hellenistic poetry, it is precisely her absence of expressed desire, as I argue, that makes her sick in Callimachus, and thus differentiates her from other suffering female figures such as Medea in Apollonius Rhodius or Simaetha in Theocritus. In the second part, I move on to examine Callimachus’ problematisation of desire as an exclusively male prerogative in the narrative (that of Acontius) and I attempt to explain Cydippe’s dissociation from it by looking closely at the sexual politics of Hippocratic medicine: Cydippe’s silent transition from virgin to wife, and the illnesses that affect her so long as this transition is suspended evoke, as I illustrate, medical discussions on when and how virginity should be surrendered for a young girl to remain healthy ([Hipp.] De virginum morbis) as well as the Hippocratic notion that absence of desire defines both an adult woman’s sexual life but also the critical moment of her first sexual experience.
Pliny’s “Role Models of Both Sexes”: Gender and exemplarity in the Letters
Authors: Langlands Rebecca
Published: January 2024

The Letters of Pliny the Younger are notable both for their portraits of outstanding women and for their thoughtful treatment of exemplarity. This article explores Pliny’s innovative portrayal in his Letters of women as moral exempla within his new framework of exemplarity, and the challenge he poses to traditional Roman gender stereotyping. Among the contemporaries whom Pliny and his friends admire and emulate there are many female exempla as well as male, and in his letters he systematically plays down the difference between the sexes at the level of abstract virtue (if not at the level of social role). Exemplary men and women are represented as sharing the same moral qualities and as having the same rhetorical force. Indeed Pliny deliberately subverts the traditional gender tropes found in earlier authors in order to draw attention to his new emphasis on the moral equivalence of the sexes. Pliny’s treatment of female exempla substantially develops possibilities already evident in earlier epistolary works, sets him apart from his friend Tacitus and his teacher Quintilian, and may have been influential on subsequent authors, and even perhaps in the lives of Roman men and women.

Computational wearables design is based on the integration of algorithms into the design process. The use of computational design tools offers a series of advantages in the wearable product design modelling because a complete family of products can be produced with a limited effort from the designer, while at the same time geometries with high complexity can be dealt with a manageable way. The present paper aims to create the appropriate code for modelling shoe soles. The use of a visual programming language leads to a better understanding of the produced code and aims in controlling and optimising the output models. Following the proposed methodology, 3D scanning technologies and plantar pressure diagrams are used for introducing the sole customised geometry, and then the proposed algorithm creates a variety of alternatives of the final shoe sole geometry. As a result, both the customisation and the high number of alternative designs lead to increased creativity and customer satisfaction. Due to the complexity of the geometry produced, 3D printing technologies are incorporated for the prototype implementation.
O CONHECIMENTO TRADICIONAL E O NOVO MARCO DA BIODIVERSIDADE
Authors: Chornobai João Vítor Ladeira
Published: January 2024

Um dos temas abordados pela lei 13.123, o Novo Marco da Biodiversidade, é o conhecimento tradicional associado, um conhecimento resultante da relação estabelecida entre determinada população tradicional e a biodiversidade existente no território ocupado por ela. Entretanto, a forma utilizada pela lei para conceituá-lo e o tratamento jurídico atribuído a ele se mostra passível de inúmeras discussões teóricas. Portanto, figura como objetivo geral deste trabalho identificar qual é a natureza jurídica do conhecimento tradicional associado, discussão cuja relevância reside na necessidade de definição da sua titularidade, a fim de que se verifique quem poderá, dele, dispor. É assim que, por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória, de método dedutivo, que se vale de fontes bibliográficas e documentais indiretas, o presente trabalho permite concluir que o conhecimento tradicional é um direito intelectual e difuso, devendo, portanto, ser entendido como um patrimônio de titularidade difusa, o que não se observa no modelo proposto pelo Novo Marco da Biodiversidade, que busca a valoração econômica deste instituto e expõe as populações tradicionais, detentoras deste conhecimento, a uma exploração institucionalizada.
Överdrivet alarm eller ödesdiger influensa
Authors: Ljuslinder Karin
Published: January 2024

Media reporting plays a key role in the general public’s perception of the risk of pandemics. The majority of Swedes have never had a pandemic flu. Instead they recieve their experiences and opinon from news media. The public cannot take for granted that the news mirror the spread and risks with a flu. Media are guided by other principles than retelling an event. Ownership, finances and media logic are some of the variables that determine media content. This study examines with the discourse analytical tool of articulation, how historic pandemics have been represented in a printed daily news press (Dagens Nyheter), the only Swedish news medium that has been active during the entire studied time period, 1898–2009. The aim is to contribute to better understanding of how media logic and other guiding variables shape content and thereby have an impact on cultural meanings and notions. The result shows that the representation has moved from reports of an uncontrollable force of nature (1898) to medical science and society’s control (1969) and, in 2009, back to reports about the swine flu as an apocalyptic catastrophe. One possible explanation can be that different variables are governed by different, and, competing interests. Even if the reporting is alarmistic both in 1898 and 2009, the reasons may differ. This study shows the effect on the pandemic reporting when the news medium balances between being a democratic information channel and a market economic business.
Mellan friskt och sjukt

Mindfulness meditation started its academic career in the 1970s within behavioral medicine and mind-body research. Now, you find it in psychotherapy, neuroscience and clinical psychology, but also increasingly in the social sciences such as education, organization studies, social work and economics. Mindfulness meditation is offered as a secular program for healing, self-understanding and growth, and has moved from the cultural margins (Buddhism) to the mainstream, both scientifically and culturally. The variety of problems that mindfulness addresses is made possible by the fact that it actually spans both the pathological and the normal or healthy. In actual fact, it collapses that distinction regularly. By introducing readers, listeners or viewers to a mind that is “mindless” in its normal state – running on autopilot, being lost in thought, always in a doingmode – it simultaneously pathologizes people’s normal mode of functioning. Mindfulness proponents claim to work with universal and transdiagnostic processes, which underpin both health and sickness. Hence, anyone endowed with a mind benefits from mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness has been able to connect to and makes sense of collectively experienced societal changes, and offers scientifically grounded (albeit patchy) guidance on how to relate to these. The initial focus on stress related problems, evident in the name of its first medical institution – The stress reduction clinic – resonated with growing societal concerns over the downsides of multitasking and “workaholism” in the 1980s, 1990s and onwards.
Att analysera kunskap

Published: January 2024

The aim with this article is to discuss analytical tools to understand knowledge and learning processes. Our point of departure is data from our research project about international mobility among highly skilled professionals in the medical field. In this text, we problematize how to classify and analyse different types of knowledge as physicians and medical researchers who have worked abroad and then returned to Sweden tell about their experiences. In the interviews we have conducted so far, we can identify declarative knowledge (facts, theoretical knowledge); skills and embodied knowhow; meta knowledge (about how the medical field works, i.e. publication strategies) and reflexive abilities (broaden one's vision, learn about and be able to deal with cultural variations, extend professional habitus). We find that professional knowledge in the medical field is a process were the different types of knowledge are interdependent. It is therefore necessary to analyse these interrelations. Since we define professional knowledge as a process, difficult to completely separate from everyday knowledge and everyday life, we suggest that reflexive abilities have a vital role among the interrelated knowledge types.

La tecnología se ha convertido en un elemento clave con el que interactuamos a diario, aprovechándose en ámbitos como el educativo por sus bondades de ubicuidad y combinar el uso de elementos audiovisuales que ayudan a captar el interés del usuario.  Esta publicación presenta la propuesta de una herramienta educativa para niños sordos de nivel básico inicial, orienta el proceso de enseñanza desde un enfoque lúdico y colaborativo, abordando aspectos arquitectónicos para la solución tecnológica móvil.  Los juegos contemplan conocimientos claves de vocabulario y oraciones que estarán disponibles progresivamente para el niño, y se coordinarán según el avance de las clases que imparte el profesor en el aula (virtual o presencial), centrados a enseñar aspectos de comunidad, convivencia, comprensión y expresión del lenguaje, otros, de tal manera que, lo aprendido le permita al estudiante relacionarse con su entorno.

Published: January 2024

La siguiente investigación se integra dentro de un proyecto de innovación docente desarrollado en la Universidad Pablo de Olavide, con una muestra de alumnado del Grado de Trabajo Social (n=110) y Doble Grado de Sociología y Trabajo Social (n=52). Que consistió en el análisis de la historia de vida y del desarrollo de la entrevista biográfica o semiestructurada aplicándolas a las TICs. Teniendo como principal objetivo examinar el potencial de estas técnicas a través de las TICs para la enseñanza conceptual en Ciencias Sociales. Para ello aplicamos un post-test de satisfacción, ad-hoc con preguntas abiertas y de escala linkert. Dando como principales conclusiones la satisfacción del alumnado respecto al uso de la historia de vida y entrevista como recurso didáctico, así como una adquisición satisfactoria de habilidades y conocimientos sociológicos, como el pensamiento crítico, las conexiones a nivel micro/macro y la interacción entre estructura y agencia, entre otros.

La competencia digital y el engagement académico son dos constructos de reconocida importancia en la educación del siglo XXI. En este trabajo se analiza si existe relación o influencia entre ambos conceptos y sus respectivas dimensiones, en el contexto de la formación inicial del profesorado. Se utiliza una metodología ex post facto en el que se encuestaron a 437 estudiantes del Grado en Maestro en Educación Infantil (180) y en Educación Primaria (257). Para ello, se utilizaron dos cuestionarios validados internacionalmente y se realizaron comparaciones por sexo y curso. Los resultados no señalan diferencias de género y curso en cuanto a la competencia digital, pero sí, en relación al engagement académico a favor de las mujeres y los estudiantes de tercer curso. La prueba de Rho de Spearman (rs=.313; p<.001) permitió concluir la existencia de una correlación estadísticamente significativa entre estas variables, aunque de tamaño de efecto débil.

Published: January 2024

El presente estudio científico tiene como objetivo analizar los programas digitales existentes entre la literatura de más impacto para mejorar la lectoescritura del alumando migrante. A causa del aumento de la población no nativa en el país, surge la necesidad acuciante del aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera. Tal y como exponen los resultados del estudio: esto se debe a que las barreras culturales y lingüísticas predominan en que los migrantes no se desarrollen positivamente en ámbitos educativos, sociales y laborales, suponiendo un obstáculo para la integración. Además, se recurre a las tecnologías pues evidencian que son recursos que refuerzan la consecución de objetivos para mejorar la lectoescritura del aprendizaje de español como segunda lengua. Dada la escasa cantidad de trabajos en esta línea, y a la vista de los resultados obtenidos, se considera un tema pionero que requiere más profundización en este ámbito de investigación.

La formación para la competencia argumentativa se produce con el distanciamiento del ciudadano frente a mensajes de los medios cuando emite juicios de valor. Esta competencia es básica en profesionales de educación, pero ¿cómo desarrollamos dicha competencia? Se utilizan herramientas y metodología de anotaciones multimedia sobre video. El diseño de investigación fue mixto utilizando análisis correlacional de medias, estadística textual y análisis cualitativo mediante etiquetado social con tres indicadores de una rúbrica de argumentación: justificación, evidencia y conclusiones. Participaron 39 estudiantes de postgrado, que produjeron 74 anotaciones sobre texto y video, y 191 evaluaciones entre pares y con heteroevaluación, sobre las anotaciones o juicios de valor emitidos. Los resultados indican similitud entre las anotaciones sobre el contenido analizado, pero no sobre la cantidad y calidad. Se concluye que los valores de las anotaciones de vídeo son superiores a las de texto, la aplicación de la rúbrica mejoró los resultados argumentativos.
International Policy and Roma Education in Europe: Essential Inputs or Centralized Distractions?
Authors: Ram Melanie H.
Published: January 2024

This article examines the case of Roma inclusion in education as a study of the ways in which international policy can and cannot bring change at the local level. I first reflect on the numerous international organizations and initiatives to improve the educational outcomes of Roma, and to reduce segregation and other non-inclusionary practices. Given these actions—and their relatively small impact—I identify both benefits and drawbacks of international efforts to achieve Roma inclusion and improve education outcomes. I conclude that international organizations provide significant inputs for Roma inclusion, but also serve as centralized distractions that foster extremely high expectations and thus great disappointment with the results.
The Role and Status of Food and Nutrition Literacy in Canadian School Curricula
Authors: Anderson Heather , Falkenberg Thomas
Published: January 2024

The obesity epidemic in North America has given greater attention to food and nutrition literacy in Canadian schools. However, the review of relevant literature on food and nutrition literacy reveals quite a range of understandings of what such literacy means. This raises the question of what understanding of food and nutrition literacy is actually represented in Canadian curriculum documents, considering that it is the curriculum that primarily drives teaching and learning in schools? Using a document analysis approach, the study reported upon in this article enquires into this very question. While the study finds a range of conceptualizations represented across provinces, territories and subject areas, it identifies the preferred framing of food and nutrition literacy as being related to food consumption and health at the individual level.

A paternidade e cuidado é um dos eixos prioritários da PNAISH, relacionando o engajamento dos homens nas ações do planejamento reprodutivo, no acompanhamento do pré-natal, no parto e pós-parto de suas parceiras e nos cuidados com o desenvolvimento da criança, trazendo uma melhoria de qualidade de vida e a construção de vínculos afetivos. Objetiva-se investigar e analisar as publicações em revistas brasileiras, referente à temática do pré-natal do parceiro. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, que buscou levantar em 13 periódicos nacionais as principais evidencias científicas com publicações entre 2020 e 2021, utilizando como tema o pré-natal do parceiro. A busca totalizou 2988 artigos originais, dos quais somente um foi selecionado para o estudo, pois contemplou os objetivos propostos. Observou-se pouca publicação sobre o tema, o que acarretou uma maior dificuldade de tratar sobre a temática, devido à poucas de informações e artigos sobre o cenário do pré-natal do parceiro, notou-se também a falta de conhecimento dos profissionais de saúde sobre o tema. A participação do homem no pré-natal constitui uma lacuna na produção científica no período analisado. Pontua-se ainda que, os profissionais de saúde podem utilizar de estratégias para estimular, sensibilizar, acolher e facilitar a participação do homem durante as consultas de pré-natal.
