Experts in promotion and prevention - The 100th Anniversary of Finnish public health nurse education

Abstract Issue/Problem Two key public health issues at present are mental health problems and obesity. Both typically begin before adulthood and once occurred, typically persist. Prevention would be important but also economically and humanely sensible. For this, competent experts in preventive work and health promotion are needed. Description of the problem Public health nurse education, originally known as health sister education, was initiated in Finland in 1924, by the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare. The six-month health sister education was targeted at nurses and began from the desire to focus not only on treating diseases but also on promoting health. In the 1940s, education was reformed and in the 1950s significantly expanded. In the 1970s, the professional title changed from ‘health sister’ to ‘public health nurse’. In 1987, the education was extended to 3 years, including the education of registered nurses. In 1992, the education was further extended to 3.5 years. By the beginning of the 21st century, education evolved into 4 years bachelor’s degree. Results In 2024, eighteen Universities of Applied Sciences provide public health nurse education in Finland. The 4-year Bachelor of Health Care in Public Health Nursing -degree (240 ECTS credits) also qualifies for a registered nurse. Nearly half of the education consists of clinical training. In addition, registered nurses can supplement their degrees by completing a one-year education (60 ECTS credits) that qualifies them as public health nurses. Lessons In Finland, approximately 700 new public health nurses graduate annually. They are trained to work independently as experts in preventive work, health promotion, and public health. Around 9,500 Finnish public health nurses work in settings such as maternity and child health clinics, school health services, occupational health care, and outpatient clinics. Key messages • Due to the overcrowding in many healthcare services providing treatment, educating experts in health promotion and disease prevention is crucial now and in the future. • By ensuring competent experts in health promotion and disease prevention, future healthcare services can continue to provide economically and humanely sensible and effective help for people.

Women as cultural agents: Double coloniality, gender and diasporic memories of ethnic Greek Georgian women

In 2021, the world commemorated the 30th anniversary of the end of the Cold War, a half-century of ideological rivalry and divisions that left few societies untouched. ‘Cold War state of mind’, as the title of the book of Matthew Dune stated, with the primacy it gave to nation-states, overlooked issues of not belonging in dominant majorities and hegemonic cultures, for example, ethnic minorities and diasporas. In this framework, Greek-speaking communities in the former Soviet Union seemed to draw from their cultural background to become rooted in the Soviet ethnic mosaic but also to increase their social capital which in the 1990s turned to an important transnational value due to the migrant flows from Georgia to Greece. This article follows the life stories of two ethnic Greek women over the time of three decades through their memories since the 1980s, from the Black Sea region to Greece, to discuss how they address the post-socialist demand for an integration to the free market and how their double coloniality as Soviet and diasporic subjects interweaves with this demand.

Education of church musicians in Krakow in the period from the end of the Second Vatican Council to the present day

The training of church musicians in Cracow in the period after the Second Vatican Council became one of the important tasks of the institutional Church associated with the post-conciliar renewal of the liturgy. In the 1970s, the training of church organists here took on a systematic and organised character. The activities of the Archdiocesan Organist’s College, as well as the Church Music Section at the Liturgical Institute, were constantly evolving. Over time, their tasks were taken over by the Archdiocesan Organist School (now the Archdiocesan Music School) and the Pontifical Academy of Theology in Krakow (now the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow). Since 1997, the Academy of Music in Cracow has also been educating church musicians. At present, Cracow and the Archdiocese of Cracow offer many opportunities of professional music education, which are eagerly used by organists, choir conductors, as well as people passionate about Gregorian chant, liturgical composition and the broadly understood animation of the musical life of churches. The immediate impulse for writing this article was the 25th anniversary of the Cardinal Franciszek Macharski Archdiocesan School of Music, celebrated in 2023, which is an ­important link in the series of educational institutions thanks to which the level of education of church musicians is constantly rising.

Learning from Practice to Teach for Practice: Reflections from a Novel Training Series for International Climate Negotiators Presentation at PON’s 40th Anniversary Symposium, December 9, 2023

Abstract Early career climate negotiators face tough challenges—with little formal authority they must exert influence in a highly formalized negotiation process that produces bad bargaining dynamics. The authors describe the process of devising a training series for such climate negotiators from underrepresented and underresourced countries. They highlight challenges they faced, and distill lessons learned. Specifically, the article explores how negotiation theory can be made useful for people who are granted little authority to negotiate creatively, how to leverage insights from senior practitioners effectively, and how to train and engage an audience online that is scattered around the world, underpaid, overworked, and dials in with bad WiFi.

Targeting the TNF and TNFR superfamilies in autoimmune disease and cancer.

The first anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody, infliximab (Remicade), celebrated its 25th anniversary of FDA approval in 2023. Inhibitors of TNF have since proved clinically efficacious at reducing inflammation associated with several autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn's disease. The success of TNF inhibitors raised unrealistic expectations for targeting other members of the TNF superfamily (TNFSF) of ligands and their receptors, with difficulties in part related to their more limited, variable expression and potential redundancy. However, there has been a resurgence of interest and investment, with many of these cytokines or their cognate receptors now under clinical investigation as targets for modulation of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, as well as cancer. This Review assesses TNFSF-targeted biologics currently in clinical development for immune system-related diseases, highlighting ongoing challenges and future directions.

Recent advances in branching problems of representations

How does an irreducible representation of a group behave when restricted to a subgroup? This is part of branching problems, which are one of the fundamental problems in representation theory, and also interact naturally with other fields of mathematics. This expository paper is an up-to-date account on some new directions in representation theory highlighting the branching problems for real reductive groups and their related topics ranging from global analysis of manifolds via group actions to the theory of discontinuous groups beyond the classical Riemannian setting. This article is an outgrowth of the invited lecture that the author delivered at the commemorative event for the 70th anniversary of the re-establishment of the Mathematical Society of Japan, and originally appeared in Japanese in Sugaku 71 (2019).

«УЧРЕДИТЬ НА ЮЖНОМ БЕРЕГУ КРЫМСКОГО ПОЛУОСТРОВА В СЕЛЕНИИ ЯЛТАХ ТАМОЖЕННУЮ ЗАСТАВУ…»: К ИСТОРИИ СОЗДАНИЯ И ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ ЯЛТИНСКОЙ ТАМОЖНИ И ЮЖНОГО ОТРЯДА ТАВРИЧЕСКОЙ БРИГАДЫ ПОГРАНИЧНОЙ СТРАЖИ

The article examines the history of the creation and activities of the Yalta customs outpost (later the Yalta customs), which celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2024. Based on archival documents, some of which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, as well as previously published statistical materials, collections of the customs department and other official publications of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Empire, the main stages of interaction between customs institutions, border and quarantine guard units operating in the Taurida province are determined in the 19th century. The work of these authorities in peacetime and the features of their functioning during the Crimean (Eastern) War of 1853–1856 and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 had been analyzed. Measures aimed at optimizing the work of these units in difficult conditions of combat operations and occupation of the Crimean Peninsula by the enemy had been studied. The specifics and sources of formation of personnel of the Yalta customs outpost, units of the Taurida border guard brigade, and quarantine guard units stationed in the province had been identified. It is concluded that the organization of customs, quarantine and border services on the territory of the Taurida province, namely, on the southern coast of Crimea in the 19th century was well thought out and fully consistent with local specifics, since the peninsula was not only the center of external and internal trade operations in the Northern Black Sea region, but also the most important region in geopolitical and strategic terms. Russia, which has repeatedly faced the need to eliminate external threats while simultaneously increasing its economic potential, has taken the necessary steps to ensure the normalization of the activities of customs institutions in the region.

Chinese Professional Consumers at 30: The Rise and Impending Fall

Abstract This paper introduces a unique phenomenon with a distinctive Chinese regulatory approach. Since 1994, the Consumer Rights Protection Law has afforded consumers the right to seek punitive damages in instances of fraudulent practices. This has given rise to a special profession with Chinese characteristics: professional consumers. Their status as enigmatic figures is a consequence of the fluctuating stance of public authorities. Thirty years of consistent inconsistency has been a rarity in China’s legislative history. The year 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the enactment of the CRPL, China’s Consumer Rights Protection Law and the birth of its implementing regulation. It is an opportune moment to reassess the regulatory system that enabled this group and reconstruct it for the future. This paper presents a comprehensive regulatory review of the emergence, growth, and projected decline of professional consumers. It examines the reasons for this long-standing regulatory inconsistency through a detailed investigation of China’s legal system. It concludes by projecting two upcoming legal positions. The first is the transformation under the state’s co-governance strategy. The second is the displacement by procuratorial public interest litigation. Although seemingly contradictory, these two positions exemplify a distinctive Chinese approach to the co-governance strategy, which is characterized by the preponderance of public authority.
