Instructional Strategies for Incorporating Empathy in Transdisciplinary Technology Education

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract In the past decade, there has been an increasing focus on the ethical content of designed artifacts, including the ways in which engineers and technologists are responsible for considering ethical issues relating to the end user or context for which they are designing. Creating sustainable post-secondary ethics education has been an increasing focus in engineering and technology education scholarship, with the goal of developing students’ ability to understand and make ethically-sound design decisions through evidence-based instructional strategies. In this study, we focus on the ways in which a transdisciplinary educational experience might encourage the development of empathic ability by documenting the activities of undergraduate technology students as they sought to develop an off-the-grid toilet for the “developing” world. Students were exposed to multiple instructional strategies that encouraged them to reconsider their notion of “difference” as it might apply to their semester-long design project. We present several themes of instructional strategies that emerged from instructors and students, and contextualize these strategies in relation to the students’ development of empathic ability. The students in this course struggled to develop empathy that had practical implications for their design activity, suggesting the need for a larger shift in the ability of students to create empathically-driven action. We found that a substantial change in empathic ability also requires a certain amount of vulnerability and ability to position-take (i.e., taking the position of another), indicating the need for “safe spaces” that challenge student perspectives while also encouraging trust and honesty.

Bromocriptine and breast cancer SIR,-In the light of recent articles concerning bromocriptine your leading article "Hormone receptors and breast cancer" (10 July, p 67) raises the possibility of the use of this drug to suppress the growth of prolactin-dependent breast tumours since, as you say, "the main peptide hormone implicated in promoting the growth of breast tumours is thought to be prolactin."The theoretical and to some extent sub- stantiated fear of oestrogens and other hormones as carcinogenic agents should, however, perhaps now be extended to include other drugs which interfere with man's delicately balanced endocrine functions-for example, phenothiazines, methyldopa, and even indeed bromocriptine, which is used to suppress puerperal lactation, a physiological state which in itself affords some protection against breast cancer.
A point prevalence survey of antimicrobial agents and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of admitted patients in acute wards of a teaching hospital in Western India

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Antimicrobial stewardship programme (AMSP) is an important strategy to contain antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the community. Materials and Methods: A point prevalence survey was carried out in October 2018 in accordance with ECDC 2013 document. The survey was carried out on a single day in intensive care units, acute medical, acute surgical and family wards of a tertiary care hospital in western India. Results: Less than 44% of admitted patients in acute wards were found to be prescribed with antimicrobial agents (AMA). The culture report of clinical specimen sent was positive for pathogen growth in 21% samples. Cephalosporins, penicillins and quinolones were the most commonly prescribed AMA on inpatients of the hospital. Of these, 70% were administered parenterally and 46% were given for more than one week. 70% of the empirical therapy was found to be effective. Pathogens resistant to many WHO WATCH group AMA and aztreonam, a RESERVE AMA have been isolated in the survey. Two of the isolated pathogens showed sensitivity to less than 3 antibiotics. Conclusion: The present survey has revealed a high prevalence of infectious disease burden and antimicrobial usage in acute wards of our hospital. Keywords: Point prevalence survey, Antimicrobial stewardship programme, Antimicrobial resistance, Antibiotic consumption.
A Comparative Study of Interactional Meta-discourse in English Speeches of Chinese and American Stateswomen

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

By comparing Hillary and Fu Ying’s political speeches from the perspective of interactional meta-discourse, this paper is aimed at exploring the similarities and differences of Chinese and American stateswomen’s employment of interactional meta-discourse in their political speeches, and discussing the possible causes of such similarities and distinctions. This study suggests that interactional meta-discourse are frequently used in English speeches of both Chinese and American stateswomen, but American stateswomen utilize much more interactional meta-discourse than their Chinese counterparts. As for the five sub-categories, engagement marker and self-mention occur the most repeatedly, whereas booster the least frequently in both corpora. However, Chinese stateswomen use more hedges but less attitude marker, self-mention and engagement marker than American stateswomen. The reasons for such similarities may be the necessity of interacting with the audience in a political speech, while the causes of distinctions may be the different cultural backgrounds and expression styles of China and America.

A family of interleaved isolated three‐level DC/DC converters

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This paper proposes a family of bipolar step‐up cells (BSUCs). Additionally, a family of interleaved parallel isolated high‐gain DC/DC converters with bipolar outputs based on the BSUCs is proposed. Using one of these converters as an example, it is demonstrated that the converter inherits the advantages of DC three‐level characteristics, resulting in low component voltage stress and low output voltage ripple. Moreover, the converter features a low input current ripple, electrical isolation, bipolar outputs, high voltage gain and operates both switches and diodes in a soft‐switching state. Furthermore, the neutral point of the bipolar outputs in this converter possesses self‐balancing characteristics, effectively mitigating the impact of parasitic parameters on voltage balance. Even with a significant deviation of the duty cycles in the main switches, the influence on the neutral point voltage balance remains very slight. Besides, to address the difficulty of accurately calculating output voltage ripple using traditional methods, a voltage ripple calculation method based on linearizing the charging of the output capacitor is proposed, characterized by its high accuracy and simplicity in the calculation process. Finally, an experimental prototype is established to verify the performance of the proposed converter.
Investigation of Coronaphobia, Anxiety, Stress, and Mental Well-Being Levels According to Employees’ Participation in Recreational Activities During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract This study aims to determine the difference between coronaphobia, anxiety, stress, and mental well-being levels among public institution employees according to their participation in recreational activities during the pandemic and to compare them in terms of variables. The field research method was used in the study, which had 376 (215 males, 161 females) voluntary participants. During the data collection process, a questionnaire was used to determine persistent anxiety, coronavirus-19 phobia, stress, mental well-being levels, and demographic characteristics. The form inquired about age, gender, whether participants attended recreational events during the pandemic, and, if so, what types of activities they participated in. Significant differences were found among the participants’ scores for continuous anxiety, mental well-being, coronavirus-19 phobia, and the psychological, somatic, and social sub-dimensions. It was found that those who participated in recreational activities had higher mental well-being scores and lower anxiety and phobia scores than those who did not. Significant differences were found in some of the scales used according to gender and age variables. Since recreational activities reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions, it is recommended that individuals participate in activities that comfort them and make them happy under pandemic conditions.
Health and social protection systems confronting a protracted health crisis: the impact on personal health and well-being

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a multidimensional impact on Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting the fact that the health, social and economic dimensions are all interdependent. This is one of the key factors in the transformative recovery proposed by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC, 2021a). The region has revealed great vulnerability in the midst of the health, economic and social crisis generated by the pandemic; and its COVID-19 case and mortality rates have persistently been disproportionately high.
Methodological and Ontological Foundations of Fear Heuristics in H. Jonas’s Ethics

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article examines the principle of fear heuristics suggested more than forty years ago by the modern thinker Hans Jonas as a methodology of scientific search and an ethical guideline in the human’s everyday ethical practice: preserving human identity requires efforts. In Jonas’s conception of responsibility, fear becomes a value-forming principle and is endowed with the heuristic function, the foundation of responsibility, contrary to traditional ethical conceptions, which considered fear an affect hampering the mind. Contrary to previous studies, Jonas’s conception is examined not only on the basis of the well-known work “The Principle of Responsibility” but taking into account his biographical facts and little known studies.
Resettlement of China‐born immigrants in Australia: Age, duration of stay and interstate migration

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Internal migration is an important settlement adjustment process for immigrants. For a high migration country, such as Australia, understanding the internal migration patterns is also needed for studying the demographic dynamics of immigration. With large numbers of immigrants now coming from Asia, little is known about how they move subsequently within Australia and whether they follow similar patterns of European‐origin groups. This paper examines resettlement patterns of the largest non‐European‐origin population in Australia: immigrants born in mainland China. Data from the 1986–2016 Australian Censuses are used to examine the complex relationship between age, duration of stay and interstate migration observed amongst China‐born immigrants in comparison with other major overseas‐born populations. Results show that migration probabilities peak for young and recently arrived immigrants, with an evident age‐on‐arrival effect. Considerable variations in migration patterns are identified across birthplaces, states and territories of residence and arrival cohorts. Interstate migration of China‐born immigrants increased over time, with recent arrivals exhibiting higher migration probabilities than that of the Australia‐born population in 2016. The findings extend our knowledge on immigrants adjustment and (re)settlement in the destination society and provide a basis for examining Australia's regional migration policies.
Ion Bombardment Effects on Internal Stress of Magnetic Thin Films

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

This study examined the effect of argon ion bombardment on the internal stress of a nickel film. As a means of expressing the effect of ion bombardment, we propose an ion bombardment parameter based on the momentum of the ions. The magnitude of the ion momentum determined from the plasma potential was not dependent on the sputter power. With the increase in sputter power, the increase in the impingement frequency of nickel atoms onto the substrate was greater than the increase in the impingement frequency of Ar+ ions. It has become evident that the ratio of impingement argon ions to nickel particles onto the substrate mainly affects the variation in the ion bombardment parameter in relation to the sputter power. Thus, it has been demonstrated that the internal stress of a nickel film can be predicted using the ion bombardment parameter.

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The aim of the current study was to investigate self-regulatory driving practices of old and young drivers by examining underlying factors and possible benefits on drivers’ aberrant behaviors. 258 active male drivers (120 older, 138 younger) participated in the study. Older drivers’ age range was determined as 60-75 and younger drivers’ age range was determined as 21-30. For testing motivator factors of self-regulatory driving practices, Health and Functional Abilities Scale (Molnar et al., 2013), Self-Rated Abilities Scale, Driving Confidence Scale (Parker et al., 2001) were adapted to Turkish Sample and a pplied to older and younger drivers. After that, for testing self-regulatory, driving behaviors Advanced Decisions and Patterns of Travel Scale (Molnar, et al, 2013) was revised and mini-version of this scale was used. Lastly, for understanding possible safety benefits of self-regulation, Turkish version of Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) (Lajunen, & Özkan, 2004) was applied. The results show that behavioral mechanism of older, younger drivers were different, and there were no mediation effect of self-regulatory driving practices between possible underlying factors (health and functional abilities, self-rated driving abilities, driving confidence) and aberrant driver behaviors for older drivers. For younger driver groups, the mediation effect of strategical self-regulation was found between situational confidence and lapses. Generally, while tactical self-regulatory strategies were predicted negatively aberrant behaviors of the participants, for strategical self-regulat ion adverse relations were found which only supports tactical self-regulatory behaviors possible benefits for older and younger drivers. Limitations and contributions of the study were discussed in light of the related literature.
Food for thought

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose This paper seeks to identify the factors that influence the perceptions and attitudes of young people in Montenegro toward organic products. Design/methodology/approach The results of the research, obtained using the multivariate factor analysis, showed that the vast majority of young consumers identify organic food as healthy and natural and that its higher price is a significant barrier inhibiting their likelihood of purchasing it, along with inaccessibility and the limited options offered. Findings The data obtained provides valuable information for managers and decision-makers working in organic food production and sales in Montenegro – a country with the potential to develop in this field. Research limitations/implications The study was carried out in the CEE transition country of Montenegro, with 300 young consumers. Further research is needed to validate the results through longitudinal study. Practical implications The data obtained represents a meaningful contribution to the field of organic food production and sale in Montenegro (which is a country with a lot of potential in this area) and will assist managers and decision-makers in the field. Social implication Unlike most research that has previously examined issues concerning organic production – such as its standardization, financing, environmental impact, and even its promotion – this paper provides a better understanding of the behavior of young consumers toward organic products in Montenegro by outlining their perceptions and attitudes toward this product category. Originality/value This research represents the first academic study of customers' attitudes and perceptions in this area, alongside the main factors affecting the young consumer's choice to purchase organic food in Montenegro.
Host-microbial interactions in the esophagus

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Host-microbial interactions within the gastrointestinal tract are increasingly recognized as contributors to health and disease, yet our understanding of these interactions in the esophagus remains limited. Dysbiosis of the esophageal microbiome has been linked to esophageal disorders, but the precise mechanisms underlying microbial contributions to esophageal pathophysiology remain speculative. This review explores the mechanisms by which the esophageal microbiome modulates mucosal immunity, epithelial barrier integrity, and inflammatory responses. We highlight key host receptors that mediate these interactions and microbial metabolites that influence the local immune environment and epithelial function. By synthesizing current knowledge on how the microbiome impacts esophageal health, we identify significant knowledge gaps and propose areas for future research.
Neo‐Liberalism, Police, and the Governance of Little Urban Things

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article seeks to refine understandings of the governmental logics that comprise and shape urban governance. Drawing on research using ethnographic methods that explore the business improvement district (BID) and the condominium corporation (condo) it is argued that exclusive focus on urban neo-liberalism neglects an urban ”police.” This latter logic is most famously remarked upon in Michel Foucault’s writings as targeting “little things” in urban spaces. Both “police” and the ”free rider problem” it confronts predate and are irreducible to neo-liberalism. Ethnography helps discern this “police” as well as how neo-liberalism relates to it in private urban realms typically hidden from view. Examining BIDs and condos in this way shows that neo-liberalism and “police” co-exist and combine in the governance of urban residential and commercial life. This matters because it reveals a more complex picture of urban governance than is sometimes assumed when neo-liberalism is exclusively invoked and one that is necessarily considered when conceiving of alternative governing arrangements.
Effects of liming on changes in pseudogley agrochemical properties and alfalfa yield

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The paper examines the effects of lime application at the rate of 3 t/ha on pseudogley soil agrochemical changes and alfalfa yield during a two-year period. The applied lime in combination with mineral fertilizers significantly decreased acidity in H20 (by 0.6 pH units) and in nKCl (by 0.81 pH units). At the same time, there was increase in phosphorus availability (from 6.2 mg/100g of soil, control, to 19.1 mg/100 g of soil, variant with lime) and soil base saturation percentage in the 0-30 cm arable horizon. The performed liming intensified organic matter mineralization, which caused decrease of humus content as well as of mobile Al and Fe content compared to control. Moderate liming improved pseudogley agrochemical properties, which was manifested by increased alfalfa yield. In the first study year 19.7 t/ha of forage and 5.7 t/ of hay, respectively, was produced in control variant, while 28.5 t/ha of forage and 8.2 t/ha of hay, respectively, was produced in a variant with liming. Even higher yield was achieved in the second year of alfalfa utilization (8.5 t/ha of forage and 2.2 t/ha of hay, respectively, was produced in control, and 71 t/ha of forage and 16.3 t/ha of hay, respectively, in a variant with liming). .
