Prospective Approaches of Herbal Novel Delivery System with Special
Reference to the Herbal Nanosciences
Authors: Prakash Kartikay , Tiwari Shashank
Published: November 2023

:

Medicinal and culinary uses of plants date back centuries. Projects on a global scale are
conducting laboratory research to identify plants with therapeutic properties, with the ultimate goal
of developing such compounds into medicines with acceptable drug delivery mechanisms and bringing
them to market. Non-synthetic medications derived from plant or herbal sources have attracted a
lot of interest because of their high tolerability and low likelihood of adverse medication reactions.
All diseases, the theory goes, can be cured by something found in nature. Medicines can be taken in
a wide variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, powders, semi-liquid extracts, tinctures, decoctions,
medicinal teas, solutions, and more. Longer release, patient adherence, and other objectives
necessitate adjustments to herbal medications. Researchers into novel drug delivery systems had hitherto
overlooked herbal remedies due to a lack of scientific validation and the challenges inherent in
processing, standardizing, extracting, and identifying them. Transdisciplinary research and cuttingedge
isolation, purification, and identification techniques have led to the development of novel herbal
compositions. Bioactive plant extracts and phytoconstituents are used in a wide variety of Nano-
Emulsions, microspheres, transferosomes, implants, and ethosomes. Compared to herbal remedies,
novel formulations fared better. Among these advantages are increased solubility, bioavailability,
toxicity, pharmacological activity, stability, delivery duration, and resistance to physical and chemical
degradation. As a result, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of herbal medications
can be enhanced by the use of novel drug delivery systems, making them safer and more
effective.

This article aims to provide a concise description of the many new drug delivery techniques that have
been created for the administration of herbal medications. The ultimate goal is to increase the efficacy
of therapies and to learn more about their significance and worldwide appeal.
Matrix Metalloproteinases in Oral Cancer Pathogenesis and their Use in Therapy
Authors: Maurya Stuti , Prasad Divya , Mukherjee Sayali
Published: November 2023

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes that aid in extracellular matrix (ECM)
remodeling. MMPs destroy the extracellular matrix, causing tumor growth and metastasis. MMPs are involved in
the spread and metastasis of oral cancer. High levels of MMPs and oral squamous cell carcinoma have been
linked to cancer prognosis. Modern medicine aims to prevent the illness from spreading through early intervention
and examining changes in MMP genes. MMP gene polymorphism has recently been identified as one of the
factors predicting susceptibility or risk in the development of oral carcinoma. This review aims to provide insight
into the function of MMP subtypes involved in cancer. The genetic polymorphism in MMP genes and its predictive
value in risk evaluation have been elaborated. Novel personalized therapeutic approaches for oral cancer, like
the use of MMP inhibitors, nanoparticle-mediated targeting of MMP, or gene silencing by microRNA, can be
designed.

:

It is a moral duty to act in a way that considers the welfare of both people and the planet.
When constructing, two factors should be considered: the sustainability of the developmentrelated
workforce and the state of the world after construction. Many experts have achieved notable
reforms in the civil infrastructure systems (CIS) sector in the past. However, additive manufacturing
(AM) does not seem to be properly understood by the CIS business. This survey examines
how all the fundamental components used by AM in CIS, such as metals, cement, and polymers,
are utilized. The goal of this study is to foster AM innovation, particularly in the CIS, and to
provide an overview of AM development from 2011 to 2022. Additionally, the various AM techniques
used to construct the aforementioned structures are presented. The audit research suggests
that AM might be beneficial in the CIS industry due to the fact that residences, additions, and
seats were constructed using this technique. Photos of the constructed structures are also included
to enhance the reader's understanding. It is generally assumed that implementing AM tactics in the
CIS industry may reduce material consumption, expedite the development process, and enhance
employee safety. Due to the limited amount of available research, further investigation into polymer
printing and metal printing is recommended.
O Que Ensinam Livros Didáticos de Biologia Sobre Mulheres Brasileiras da Ciência?
Authors: Pavolin Pissolati Ferreira Alessandra , Pinheiro de Queiroz Silva Elenita , Santos Claudiene
Published: November 2023

Este artigo apresenta resultados de pesquisa sobre ensinamentos de livros didáticos de Biologia, aprovados em editais do Programa Nacional do Livro Didático, acerca das mulheres brasileiras da ciência. A pesquisa, apoiada nos Estudos Culturais, Feministas e em conceitos foucaultianos, tomou a noção de livro didático como dispositivo, documento e artefato cultural. A análise dos livros foi fundamentada a partir das análises documentais e culturais. Os livros marcam a presença das mulheres brasileiras da ciência nos textos didáticos ora contribuindo para (re)produção e veiculação de uma história da ciência marcada pelo viés androcêntrico e ora apresenta certas rupturas e descontinuidades, fissuras com tal história. As rupturas e descontinuidades podem contribuir para subverter o discurso dominante e possibilitar uma educação não-sexista no que tange à veiculação de saberes sobre ciência e cientistas.
Narrar e Descolonizar

Este artigo é um recorte da pesquisa de doutorado em andamento “Educação com as mãos no chão: um princípio formativo a partir das memórias de mulheres mestras de capoeira no Estado de São Paulo”. Busca-se o reconhecimento e a visibilidade de memórias subalternizadas historicamente de mulheres na capoeira. Problematiza a ausência, o silêncio e/ou apagamento de memórias femininas no imaginário coletivo, discursivo e documental da capoeira. Vale-se de perspectivas educacionais inclusivas, feministas e decoloniais mobilizadas por narrativas de formação (auto)biográficas, produzidas em entrevistasconversas, Conclui que a capoeira é fortemente atravessada pelos efeitos da colonialidade de gênero, embora potencialmente, por sua ancestralidade afrobrasileira de luta e resistência aos processos de violação ontológica e de direitos humanos (ainda) preserva condições e possibilidades de se (re)inventar de modo a ensejar processos educativos/ formativos inclusivos e descolonizadores.
Etno(queer)hipergrafia
Authors: dos Santos Coradini Fábio , Oliveira dos Santos Edmea
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo compreender como as autorias de pesquisadoras trans/travestis foram forjadas no Instagram, a partir de uma etno(queer)hipergrafia online, noção derivada da dissertação de mestrado de um dos autores. O respectivo estudo, com suporte no referencial teórico dos Estudos Queer e abordagem a partir da cibercultura e da pesquisa-formação, dialoga com as questões sobre autoria e hiperescrita de si, analisando o “ser e estar” na rede. A experiência da etno(queer)hipergrafia permitiu a análise sobre uma múltipla linguagem proporcionada pela convergência das mídias no Instagram. Partimos do diálogo com as pesquisadoras trans, que habitam e não habitam o espaço acadêmico, visando a desbravar um vasto corpo de produções científicas que operam em rede e com autoria. Portanto, ao compreender a importância das autorias trans para o campo intelectual, avançamos para questões que adentram o campo da docência universitária, do fazer político e da efetivação da epistemologia trans como campo de produção do saber.

Perspectiva Decolonial do Corpo no Curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física da UFRRJ
Authors: Cardoso de Menezes  Bahia Bruno , Ribeiro Almeida Dias Elionai
Published: November 2023

Os padrões eurocêntricos tornaram-se pilares da Educação Física Escolar, disseminando seus ideais e preceitos. Por isto, esta pesquisa objetiva analisar a estrutura curricular do curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física da UFRRJ para compreender os possíveis diálogos que se pode estabelecer com a cultura local por meio de uma perspectiva decolonial. O estudo, de caráter qualitativo, se caracteriza por análise documental, de ordem descritiva. Quando analisa-se as ementas do curso, nota-se uma forte presença da licenciatura plena (bacharelado e licenciatura). O currículo, atenua o caráter esportivista herdado da ditadura e hoje assume um viés da saúde biológica, que atende a interesses do corpo docente e a pressão midiática pela formação de profissionais para o campo do fitness. O curso dialoga sobre questões fulcrais ao ensino da Educação Física Escolar, entretanto, não tem muita ênfase na realidade local.
O Que Podem as Educações Menores em HIV/aids?
Authors: Amaral Sales Tiago
Published: November 2023

Este texto é tecido ao modo de um manifesto e, através da cartografia, objetiva-se imbricar em educações menores em HIV/aids, em ressonâncias com a educação em ciências e biologia. São tangenciados três filmes que apresentam como temática central a pandemia de HIV/aids e, a partir deles, desdobram-se três escritas literárias ficcionais atravessadas por educações maiores e menores em HIV/aids. A partir dos filmes e das escritas literárias mobilizam-se pensamentos e problematizações acerca dos caminhos e desafios contemporâneos no que diz respeito à pandemia de HIV/aids, assim como nas ressonâncias transdisciplinares que competem à educação em saúde, e educação em corpo e sexualidade. Ressaltam-se que tanto narrativas fílmicas quanto escritas podem compor as caixas de ferramentas potentes aos educadores em HIV/aids, em saúde, em ciências e biologia que estejam interessados em caminhar pelos caminhos menores, comprometidos com a produção de outras relações com o corpo, a saúde e a vida.
Escolarização de Mulheres Trans e Travestis
Authors: Azevedo Carvalho Manuela , Altmann Helena
Published: November 2023

As disputas em torno de quem pode estabelecer sobre o gênero uma verdade estão presentes nos variados espaços sociais, e a escola é um deles. Para travestis e mulheres trans, ela é um ambiente de difícil permanência, com muitos e variados episódios de violência por parte de colegas e pela condescendência de docentes e gestores(as). Entretanto, é lá também que muitas conhecem pares e começam a compreender sobre si, a partir, sobretudo, dos vínculos de amizade construídos. Neste artigo, baseado nas experiências de seis travestis e mulheres trans, discutimos as violências enfrentadas, a influência do apoio de profissionais da escola e, principalmente, os efeitos dos vínculos desenvolvidos na escola na escolarização desse grupo. Esses vínculos fornecem reconhecimento e proteção, com efeitos no presente e no futuro escolar. Não garantem trajetórias lineares e eliminam violências, mas as amenizam, diminuem a solidão e ampliam as estratégias de enfrentamento, tornando a escola menos hostil.
“Crise da masculinidade”
Authors: Assis Cardoso Frederico , Alves Amorim Marina , Albuquerque Sulz Juliana
Published: November 2023

Análise do discurso da “crise da masculinidade” e as maneiras como ele tem se sustentado por explicações amparadas em argumentos como a “feminização da sociedade” e a escassez de sólidos modelos masculinos. As questões centrais do trabalho partem dos referenciais teóricos dos estudos de gênero, com destaque para os estudos sobre masculinidades, e a teorização geral do feminismo. Para tanto, faz uso de conceitos como gênero, masculinidades, feminismos e antifeminismo de Estado. O principal objetivo foi buscar compreender o fenômeno da retórica da ofensiva antigênero no cenário político brasileiro atual. A estrutura do texto foi construída na forma de uma ênfase teórico-analítica orientada por uma abordagem, tanto intersubjetiva, como macrossociológica, dos fenômenos sociais investigados. O argumento central é o de que é preciso resistir aos (e superar os) agrupamentos conservadoristas responsáveis pelas constantes tentativas de efetivação do antifeminismo de Estado.

Corporate Governance and Dividend Policy: Evidence from Colombia
Authors: Mongrut Montalvan Samuel , Ramirez Arango Carlos Mario , Usma Patiño Julian
Published: November 2023

We study the impact of the adoption of the corporate governance code denominated Country Code (CC), on the dividend payout ratio of non-financial firms that report to the Superintendency of Companies in Colombia. Using an unbalanced panel data model with a sample of 605 companies from 1997 until 2022, we find that companies that adopted voluntarily the Country Code of corporate governance have paid, on average, higher dividends than those that did not. In addition, the impact of the adoption of the Country Code is amplified by its quality, meaning that higher dividend payments are attached to better Corporate Governance quality. We did not find the impact of the two reforms to the Country Code in 2007 and 2014, which implies that these reforms didn’t help companies to distribute more dividends in Colombia.
Global Scientific Trends in Virtual Reality for Pain Treatment From 2000 to 2022: Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Yang Xun , Zhong Sen , Yang Sheng , He Meng , Xu Xu , He Shisheng , Fan Guoxin , Liu Lijun
Published: November 2023

Background

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer simulation technique that has been increasingly applied in pain management over the past 2 decades.

Objective

In this study, we used bibliometrics to explore the literature on VR and pain control, with the aim of identifying research progress and predicting future research hot spots.

Methods

We extracted literature on VR and pain control published between 2000 and 2022 from the Web of Science Core Collections and conducted bibliometric analyses. We analyzed the publication and citation trends in the past 2 decades, as well as publication and citation analyses of different countries, institutions, journals, and authors. For references, we conducted cocitation and burst analyses. For keywords, we conducted co-occurrence, clustering, timeline view, and citation burst analyses.

Results

Based on 1176 publications, we found that there was a continuous increase in publication and citation volumes, especially in the last 5 years. The United States was the most representative country, and the University of Washington was the most representative institution, with both having the most publications and citations. The most popular journal in this field was Burns, and Hoffman HG was the most productive author, leading many studies on patients with burn pain. The reference with the most citation burst was a study on the verification of new hardware in pain control. The keywords with the highest citation bursts related to various situations of pain such as “burn pain,” “wound care,” “low back pain,” and “phantom limb.”

Conclusions

VR has been applied in various clinical situations for pain management, among which burns and pediatric surgery have achieved satisfactory results. We infer that VR will be extended to more clinical pain situations in the future, such as pain control in wound care, low back pain, and phantom limb pain. New research hot spots will include the development of software and hardware to improve the immersive experience of VR for pain control. However, our work was based solely on English literature from the Web of Science database. For future studies, we recommend that researchers explore literature from multiple databases to enhance the scope of their research.
Evaluation of Eligibility Criteria Relevance for the Purpose of IT-Supported Trial Recruitment: Descriptive Quantitative Analysis
Authors: Blasini Romina , Strantz Cosima , Gulden Christian , Helfer Sven , Lidke Jakub , Prokosch Hans-Ulrich , Sohrabi Keywan , Schneider Henning
Published: November 2023

Background

Clinical trials (CTs) are crucial for medical research; however, they frequently fall short of the requisite number of participants who meet all eligibility criteria (EC). A clinical trial recruitment support system (CTRSS) is developed to help identify potential participants by performing a search on a specific data pool. The accuracy of the search results is directly related to the quality of the data used for comparison. Data accessibility can present challenges, making it crucial to identify the necessary data for a CTRSS to query. Prior research has examined the data elements frequently used in CT EC but has not evaluated which criteria are actually used to search for participants. Although all EC must be met to enroll a person in a CT, not all criteria have the same importance when searching for potential participants in an existing data pool, such as an electronic health record, because some of the criteria are only relevant at the time of enrollment.

Objective

In this study, we investigated which groups of data elements are relevant in practice for finding suitable participants and whether there are typical elements that are not relevant and can therefore be omitted.

Methods

We asked trial experts and CTRSS developers to first categorize the EC of their CTs according to data element groups and then to classify them into 1 of 3 categories: necessary, complementary, and irrelevant. In addition, the experts assessed whether a criterion was documented (on paper or digitally) or whether it was information known only to the treating physicians or patients.

Results

We reviewed 82 CTs with 1132 unique EC. Of these 1132 EC, 350 (30.9%) were considered necessary, 224 (19.8%) complementary, and 341 (30.1%) total irrelevant. To identify the most relevant data elements, we introduced the data element relevance index (DERI). This describes the percentage of studies in which the corresponding data element occurs and is also classified as necessary or supplementary. We found that the query of “diagnosis” was relevant for finding participants in 79 (96.3%) of the CTs. This group was followed by “date of birth/age” with a DERI of 85.4% (n=70) and “procedure” with a DERI of 35.4% (n=29).

Conclusions

The distribution of data element groups in CTs has been heterogeneously described in previous works. Therefore, we recommend identifying the percentage of CTs in which data element groups can be found as a more reliable way to determine the relevance of EC. Only necessary and complementary criteria should be included in this DERI.
Investigating the Potential of a Conversational Agent (Phyllis) to Support Adolescent Health and Overcome Barriers to Physical Activity: Co-Design Study
Authors: Moore Richard , Al-Tamimi Abdel-Karim , Freeman Elizabeth
Published: November 2023

Background

Conversational agents (CAs) are a promising solution to support people in improving physical activity (PA) behaviors. However, there is a lack of CAs targeted at adolescents that aim to provide support to overcome barriers to PA. This study reports the results of the co-design, development, and evaluation of a prototype CA called “Phyllis” to support adolescents in overcoming barriers to PA with the aim of improving PA behaviors. The study presents one of the first theory-driven CAs that use existing research, a theoretical framework, and a behavior change model.

Objective

The aim of the study is to use a mixed methods approach to investigate the potential of a CA to support adolescents in overcoming barriers to PA and enhance their confidence and motivation to engage in PA.

Methods

The methodology involved co-designing with 8 adolescents to create a relational and persuasive CA with a suitable persona and dialogue. The CA was evaluated to determine its acceptability, usability, and effectiveness, with 46 adolescents participating in the study via a web-based survey.

Results

The co-design participants were students aged 11 to 13 years, with a sex distribution of 56% (5/9) female and 44% (4/9) male, representing diverse ethnic backgrounds. Participants reported 37 specific barriers to PA, and the most common barriers included a “lack of confidence,” “fear of failure,” and a “lack of motivation.” The CA’s persona, named “Phyllis,” was co-designed with input from the students, reflecting their preferences for a friendly, understanding, and intelligent personality. Users engaged in 61 conversations with Phyllis and reported a positive user experience, and 73% of them expressed a definite intention to use the fully functional CA in the future, with a net promoter score indicating a high likelihood of recommendation. Phyllis also performed well, being able to recognize a range of different barriers to PA. The CA’s persuasive capacity was evaluated in modules focusing on confidence and motivation, with a significant increase in students’ agreement in feeling confident and motivated to engage in PA after interacting with Phyllis. Adolescents also expect to have a personalized experience and be able to personalize all aspects of the CA.

Conclusions

The results showed high acceptability and a positive user experience, indicating the CA’s potential. Promising outcomes were observed, with increasing confidence and motivation for PA. Further research and development are needed to create further interventions to address other barriers to PA and assess long-term behavior change. Addressing concerns regarding bias and privacy is crucial for achieving acceptability in the future. The CA’s potential extends to health care systems and multimodal support, providing valuable insights for designing digital health interventions including tackling global inactivity issues among adolescents.

Melalui kerangka tersebut, terdapat gambaran bahwa RUU MHA merupakan hal yang sangat diperlukan oleh MHA untuk menjamin hak-haknya yang notabene keberadaannya sudah hadir sebelum Republik Indonesia berdiri. RUU MHA juga diperlukan agar ke depan, masyarakat Samin maupun MHA di daerah lain dapat memiliki peran yang lebih besar atas setiap kebijakan yang berkaitan dengan pengelolaan sumber daya alam di daerahnya. Artikel ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, serta teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan yakni studi pustaka dari berbagai sumber seperti artikel akademik, buku, berita, dokumen laporan, hingga regulasi dan kebijakan terkait.
Total absolute difference edge irregularity strength of Tp-tree graphs
Authors: Lourdusamy A. , Joy Beaula F. , Patrick F.
Published: November 2023

A total labeling ξ is defined to be an edge irregular total absolute difference k-labeling of the graph G if for every two different edges e and f of G there is wt(e) 6= wt(f) where weight of an edge e = xy is defined as wt(e) = |ξ(e) − ξ(x) − ξ(y)|. The minimum k for which the graph G has an edge irregular total absolute difference labeling is called the total absolute difference edge irregularity strength of the graph G, tades(G). In this paper, we determine the total absolute difference edge irregularity strength of the precise values for Tp-tree related graphs.

Published: November 2023

Let R be a ring with involution containing a nontrivial symmetric idempotent element e. Let δ : R → R be a mapping such that δ(ab) = δ(b)a∗ + b∗δ(a) for all a, b ∈ R, we call δ a ∗−reverse derivable map on R. In this paper, our aim is to show that under some suitable restrictions imposed on R, every ∗−reverse derivable map of R is additive.

Authors: Álvarez Santos Mayra Dinorah
Published: November 2023

Los trastornos mentales son enfermedades que, si no son tratados de forma adecuada, pueden incapacitar de diversas formas a las personas. Hay varios tipos de ellos, revisaremos de forma muy breve la ansiedad, depresión, bipolaridad y esquizofrenia. Actualmente, existen terapias farmacológicas que actúan con éxito en la mejora de los síntomas, lo más recomendable es que las personas con estos trastornos se apeguen al tratamiento. Te mostraremos la conexión entre las emociones —que son como un torbellino en las personas con trastornos mentales— y la música. Así es, la música actúa como un regulador de las emociones y desde mediados del siglo xix se usa como terapia de sanación y se ha planteado como una propuesta no farmacológica para pacientes con trastornos mentales. Revisamos los beneficios de esta terapia, así como las limitaciones de algunos estudios y te presentamos las perspectivas. Finalmente, concluimos que la combinación de un tratamiento farmacológico efectivo junto a la terapia musical podría potenciar el alivio de los síntomas de algunos trastornos mentales y con esto, mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes que los presentan.

Habilidades extraordinarias: el síndrome de Asperger en el mundo laboral
Authors: Camprubí Antoni , J. Vega Francisco
Published: November 2023

El acceso a un empleo estable es uno de los grandes retos de la comunidad autista, independientemente de sus aptitudes o credenciales. Ello tiene que ver con la falta de sensibilidad hacia éstas y del desconocimiento general de su potencial laboral. Más allá de los retos y dificultades asociadas al autismo, la otra cara de la moneda es una serie de habilidades positivas, más o menos ocultas, que se presentan en las personas autistas (en particular, dentro del síndrome de Asperger) con mayor frecuencia e intensidad que en las neurotípicas. En este trabajo, exploramos brevemente tanto estas habilidades, en forma de ventajas, como las necesidades de las personas autistas para progresar en un empleo de forma óptima y sana.
Curando a quienes curan: los desafíos emocionales de los estudiantes de medicina
Authors: Brito Jheman Stephanie de los Ángeles , Cetzal Robertos Valeria Yazmin , Chin Chan José Miguel
Published: November 2023

El suicidio es un desafío global de salud pública, especialmente entre jóvenes. Desde la ideación hasta la ejecución tiene graves implicaciones sociales y económicas. Los estudiantes de la licenciatura de medicina enfrentan riesgos debido a las demandas académicas y factores externos (problemas familiares, económicos, sociales, entre otros), agravados por la falta de enfoque en su bienestar mental. Diversos estudios han revelado datos preocupantes de trastornos psiquiátricos en estudiantes de medicina: el estrés, la falta de sueño y otras presiones aumentan el riesgo de autolesiones y suicidio, y factores como la pandemia de covid-19 agravan el problema. Por ello, detectar los signos de deterioro mental, normalizar la búsqueda de ayuda y priorizar la salud mental son cruciales para salvar vidas. La educación superior debe ser una experiencia enriquecedora, no una carga perjudicial para la salud. Es por eso que se sugieren programas de apoyo, consejería y participación activa, tanto del entorno familiar como el social y de la administración educativa que puedan crear una cultura universitaria que proteja la salud mental. Al priorizar la salud mental, especialmente en medicina, formamos profesionales resilientes y empáticos con la sociedad. El objetivo principal de este escrito es crear conciencia y promover la salud mental, así como prevenir el suicidio, especialmente entre estudiantes de medicina, a través de la implementación de medidas efectivas y la provisión de herramientas de apoyo.
Children’s Rights in the Asia-Pacific Region: Critical Reflections on Participation, Education, Girls’ Rights and Child Marriage
Authors: Doel-Mackaway Holly , Otani Mikiko , Sekaran Sharmila , Banerji Rukmini
Published: November 2023

The realisation of children’s rights is a pressing global concern, with millions of children globally experiencing abuse, neglect, exploitation, and discrimination. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child urges states to respect, promote and fulfil children’s rights in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This paper details insights shared by leading children’s rights advocates at LAWASIA’s webinar, ‘Children and Young People’s Human Rights in Today’s World.’ In this webinar Dr Holly Doel-Mackaway (Children’s Rights Academic and Expert Counsellor, Human Rights Committee, LAWASIA) spoke with three leading children’s rights experts Mikiko Otani (Chair of the Committee on the Rights of the Child), Sharmila Sekaran (Co-Founder of Voice of the Children, Malaysia) and Rukmini Banerji (Chief Executive Officer of Pratham Education Foundation, India) about the status of children’s and young people’s human rights across the world today. Speakers identified key children’s rights challenges facing the Asia-Pacific region including grave violations of girls’ rights, the impacts of growing inequality and poverty on children, children’s participation, child marriage and other forms of abuse and exploitation, education equity and climate justice.

This essay explores children's right to participate and highlights the impact on children when they are seen and heard in the context of consent and bodily autonomy. The essay explores the idea that when children are consent-educated, they will be confident, less vulnerable to abuse, and have a higher sense of self and well-being. Therefore, children will be better equipped to participate in society and stand up for their rights and the rights of others.
La nouvelle sociologie de l’enfance et les droits des enfants
Authors: Thibault Jacqueline
Published: November 2023

Cet article s’intéresse à l’enfance et plus particulièrement aux droits des enfants, sous l’angle de la nouvelle sociologie de l’enfance. Bien que les défenseurs des droits des enfants et les tenants de la nouvelle sociologie de l’enfance ont tous deux comme priorité de mieux comprendre l’enfance tout en tâchant d’améliorer la vie des enfants, les travaux collaboratifs entre les deux disciplines se font rares (Freeman, 1998). Je tenterai donc de répondre à la question suivante : comment les droits des enfants sont-ils abordés dans la nouvelle sociologie de l’enfance et quelles en sont les implications pour la recherche, les politiques et les pratiques en travail social?
The value of public science events: insights from three years of communicating climate change research
Authors: O'Connor Ruth A. , Roberson Tara , de Castella Clare , Leviston Zoe
Published: November 2023

Public science events are valued primarily as sites of individual learning. We explored the individual and collective value of university-based science events discussing climate change and motivations to attend. While events were most commonly valued as opportunities for learning, their social context created collective value associated with the physical gathering of like-minded people. Participants despairing at inaction on climate change were given agency through learning, participation, interpersonal discussions and normalising new behaviours. Post-event interpersonal discussions increase the reach of events beyond “the choir”. These discussions increase the diversity of messengers, creating opportunities for new framings and understandings of climate change.
