Integrative Oncology: Incorporating Evidence-Based Approaches for Patients With GI Cancers.

Data have matured to support incorporation of integrative oncology modalities into comprehensive cancer care. Clinical practice guidelines have recently been published by ASCO for diet and exercise (2022) and use of cannabinoids and cannabis (2024) and jointly by ASCO and the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) for application of integrative approaches in the management of pain (2022), anxiety and depression (2023), and fatigue (2024) among adults with cancer. Following the ASCO-SIO guidelines, clinicians should recommend mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) to patients with symptoms of anxiety or depression and MBIs and exercise for management of fatigue during or after completion of cancer treatment. We will review the basis of these recommendations and evidence to support use of other mind-body approaches, exercise, nutrition, acupuncture/acupressure, and natural products in the specific contexts of GI cancers. For example, optimizing physical activity and diet is associated with improved survival after a colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis, in addition to conferring symptom management benefits. We will also highlight gaps in research, including that most studies enrolling patients with GI malignancies have focused on CRC. A limitation of nonpharmacologic evidence-based guidelines is that they list broad categories (eg, yoga or acupuncture) and lack implementation details. How to safely and equitably incorporate integrative approaches into conventional cancer care will be addressed. This ASCO Educational Book article aims to be both evidence-informed and practical, with attention to unique considerations for people with GI cancers.

Frederick W. Lanchester and Aerodynamics: why an automotive engineer wrote a book for aerodynamic education

Abstract So much has been written about Frederick W. Lanchester over the years, it is hard to imagine finding something new to discuss about his efforts in aerodynamics. Many of the previous Lanchester Memorial Lectures discussed topics such as wing aerodynamics, aircraft concepts and design, unsteady rotor aerodynamics, aerodynamics research and a wide variety of other related aerodynamic topics. However, there has never been a lecture about Lanchester’s book Aerodynamics as a tool for aerodynamics education in the early 20th century. The lecture will discuss his book relative to other aerodynamics books before and after 1907, and uncover how Lanchester’s book had a very distinct, and important, contribution to make for aerodynamic education.

The Impact of a New Specialized Learning Platform on Enhancing Students’ Skills in Designing and Producing Online Educational Talking Books

The use of digital audio-based learning applications in classrooms is increasing. Thus, instructional technology professionals need to become more skilled in designing and developing these apps. To succeed in the future learning process, students studying instructional technology need to have mastered these skills. This study aims to examine the impact of a specialized platform proposed to cultivate students’ skills in easily designing and producing online educational talking books (online ETBs). To improve the target abilities, we developed a new specialized platform as a web-based system for this investigation that includes several innovative tools and special learning content. The research design used was quasi-experimental. Thirty-two undergraduate students majoring in instructional technology who were in the third grade examined the proposed platform. With the pre-and post-test design, all participants were placed into one group. Three online instruments were used to gather the data: a performance observation card; a product evaluation card; and a usability questionnaire. According to the results, the suggested platform considerably increased the practical skills required to design and create an online ETB. Additionally, the proposed platform positively impacted the production of online ETB products with an acceptable proficiency level across various educational subjects. The customized platform has also proven to be a comfortable learning environment for the participating instructional technology students. This platform may be utilized as an ICT teaching tool to enhance instructional technology departments as it is appropriate for constructing online ETBs in various educational areas without coding barriers.

Foreignization and Domestication in the Kurdish Translation of the English Short Stories for Children

Translation in the field of children’s literature includes various dimensions and constraints that requires linguistic, ideological, cultural and stylistic aptness on the part of the translator. This reflects the fact that apart from entertaining, this domain is utilized for the child’s educational, religious and moral development over the phases of childhood as well. Besides, economics and ideology have significant roles in the establishment and availability of the translation of this type of genre nationally and internationally. This study, therefore, focuses on preliminary ideas concerning patterns of behavior in the translation of English literature written for children into Sorani Kurdish. It explores several strategies Kurdish translators follow to address various challenging paused by paradigmatic modification, with the aim to introduce translators who wish to translate for children, to the linguistic, stylistic, ideological and cultural differences specific to writing for children in certain cultures. To attain that, the study contemplates translated short stories written for children rather than instructive or information books. It strives to answer what paradigmatic shifts in reference to foreignization and domestication occurred in the Kurdish translation of English short stories written for children, against the backdrops of Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS). The study assumes that Kurdish translated texts in the domain of children’s literature lean towards domestication. The outcomes disclose that Kurdish translated texts have tendency towards domesticating strategy, meanwhile they are interested in making Kurdish young readers familiar with other cultures by choosing to have a high degree of foreignness in the Kurdish translated texts.

Tracing Some Challenges of Higher Education Historically in Nepal through Tribhuvan University

Tribhuvan University (TU) is the oldest and only central university in Nepal. It set a historical record in 2023 by convocating more than twelve thousand students at one time. Despite the presence of many regional and technical institutes and universities that contribute to Nepali society in higher education, Nepali students often prefer to study abroad after completing their school-level certificates. This trend has compelled Nepali university planners, educators, political parties, and governments to review the reasons for the brain drain among youth. The article aims to restore faith among Nepali citizens in the higher educational institutions available in the country, especially TU, and to encourage stakeholders to recognize the sensitivity of the issue so that brain drain can be reduced. To achieve this, the author selects various media writings on the higher education sector, websites, reports, and books on Gagne's psychological theory and the history of higher education in Nepal, adhering to qualitative research methods. The findings indicate that there is a need for correction and self-evaluation among TU authorities, Nepali political parties, and other stakeholders to contribute positively and help the university maintain its good image.

Gender stereotypes in the physical education textbook

Gender stereotypes in media, including books, can play an important role in the process of gender identity construction. The purpose of this study is to analyze gender representation in Elementary School Physical Education, Sports and Health textbooks. The analysis was conducted by tabulating images and looking at the appearance of gender characters in the text in the elementary physical education books from grade one to grade six. Visibility and Firstness refer to the number of times a male or female character appears first in an exercise. Gender stereotypes (such as female characters doing rope games, male characters playing big ball games) were counted. Based on this data, it can be seen that in classes 1,2,4,5 and 6 there are more male images than female, only in class 3 there are more female images than male. Furthermore, the results of Gender Stereotyping data show that males are more dominant in Floor Gymnastics, Water Sports, Physical Fitness Activities, Invasion Games, Net Games, Maintenance of Reproductive Hygiene, Pencak Silat Martial Arts, and Athletics. In contrast gymnastics materials and Rhythmic Gymnastics Activities are dominated by women. Such stereotypes are considered as one of the ways in which gender identity is influenced and constructed. They can limit individuals' choices in relation to their roles, interests and aspirations, as individuals tend to conform to what is perceived as the gender norm in society.

An integrative conceptual framework for analysing professional learning processes in reading groups for teachers (RGfTs)

ABSTRACT It has been proposed that reading groups for teachers (RGfTs), sometimes called teacher book clubs or professional book study programmes, can be a low-cost yet effective approach to teacher professional development. Yet research on this approach has been relatively fragmented, particularly in its conceptual and theoretical underpinnings, thereby limiting future progress in the field. This conceptual paper addresses this gap by critically appraising and synthesising the theoretical foundations and empirical findings of this nascent field. Adding to our synthesis, we then propose four theoretical resources which we argue are integral to teacher learning, resulting in an integrative conceptual framework that allows researchers to ‘zoom in or out’ on two salient principles and four learning processes that pertain to RGfTs.
