Psychological Techniques for Counselling Individuals on Sexual Attitudes and Discrimination

The importance of studying the psychology of sexuality and exploring counselling techniques for individuals dealing with sexual attitudes and discrimination is steadily growing on a global scale. In recent years, democratic reforms, the rise of the feminist movement, increased communication freedom between men and women, the surge of research across various scientific disciplines, and other factors have all contributed to the growing public interest in this branch of sexology. The present era is shaping new laws and patterns, which are still being defined within today’s science. Emerging are new types, categories, subdivisions, and fields that form the structural framework of this scientific field. The categories within the psychology of sexuality are regularly reassessed. Today, the development of sexology as a scientific field demands focused attention from both the scientific community and the state. This includes the publication of specialized literature, the training of university-level educators, the creation of master’s programmes, and the formal recognition of the psychologist-sexologist profession (psychologist-consultant in sexology), along with the opportunity to defend master’s and doctoral theses in this discipline. This reflects the dual challenge of clearly defining the scope of the psychology of sexuality while emphasizing the need for psychologists to be actively involved in sexology. The article highlights the psychologist’s role within sexological support services, presents various models of psychological counselling for individuals facing sexual attitude issues and discrimination, and outlines ethical principles in psychological counselling.

Eficiencia y eficacia en la toma de decisiones para la asignación y ejecución del presupuesto cultural: un desafío para las entidades territoriales en Colombia

In Colombia, discussions on the culture budget bring with them the stigma of a sector considered as 'the Cinderella' of national public spending. However, the empirical evidence of this study shows that, at the territorial level, the great challenge in the allocation and execution of resources is to achieve efficiency and effectiveness. The results obtained highlight the importance of increasing the percentage of execution, reducing budgetary lags and analyzing the demographic, geographic, socioeconomic, development or quality of life characteristics of municipalities, in order to make an equitable distribution and execution of resources that guarantee the cultural rights contemplated in the Political Charter; in this sense, it is proposed to design instruments of territorial cultural public policies, through the creation of master and development plans, a cultural public agenda and evaluation and monitoring mechanisms that allow evaluating the impact of the invested resources. It also proposes the need to configure a theoretical-practical platform within the cultural institutional framework to support decision-makers in identifying and addressing the problems of the sector.

Традиционное войлочно-бурочное ремесло в Дагестане в советский период

The study attempts to highlight the development of felt cloak (burka) production in Dagestan during the years of Soviet power with all its achievements and contradictions. The paper is written based on archival data and field ethnographic material. The reasons for the decline after the establishment of the power of the Soviets in Dagestan of traditional crafts, including felting production, were identified. It is noted that the creation of masters in the production of burkas within the framework of industrial cooperation of cooperatives of artels became a form of revival of craft centers. The activity and role of D. Mutaev as the organizer of felting production in the accident in the 1920s are shown. The development of the industry since the 1930s to nowadays is analyzed. The author notes the next round of the revival of the ancient industry in the post-Soviet years lies in connection with the introduction of market relations, the abolition of legal restrictions, but at the same time draws attention to the need for its support by local governments and state authorities.

The article gives information on the establishment of a network university in the field of industrial, nuclear and energy security by the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision and six Russian universities. The goals and objectives of the network university, the organization of its work and educational and methodological support are considered. The proposals of the federal educational and methodological association «Technospheric Security and Environmental Management» for the creation of master’s educational programs on industrial safety within the framework of the direction 20.04.01 “Technosphere security” are given.

Chinese interpreting studies: structural determinants of MA students’ career choices

During the last 30 years, the growth of the interpreting industry in China has been outstanding. Increasing economic and political collaboration has driven the demand for interpreters to bridge the linguistic and cultural divides that exist between China and the West. With the creation of master's and bachelor's degrees in interpreting and translation all over China, hundreds of graduates from various universities have since undertaken distinctly different career paths. Using an exhaustive corpus of Masters' theses and a combination of logistic regression and Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation to establish causalities, this paper focuses on some of the structural determinants of graduate students' career choices. The paper examines to what extent university affiliations, thesis advisors, research methodology and thesis content influence the choice to pursue an academic career. The research reveals that graduating from a top university makes students less likely to become academics, and studying under a top advisor does not necessarily increase an individual's chances of securing an academic post. By contrast, writers of empirical theses or ones that are about training are more likely to enter the academic sphere.

Microcontact Printing of Proteins for Cell Biology

The ability to pattern proteins and other biomolecules onto substrates is important for capturing the spatial complexity of the extracellular environment. Development of microcontact printing by the Whitesides group (http://gmwgroup.harvard.edu/) in the mid-1990s revolutionalized this field by making microelectronics/microfabrication techniques accessible to laboratories focused on the life sciences. Initial implementations of this method used polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps to create patterns of functionalized chemicals on material surfaces1. Since then, a range of innovative approaches have been developed to pattern other molecules, including proteins2. This video demonstrates the basic process of creating PDMS stamps and uses them to pattern proteins, as these steps are difficult to accurately express in words. We focus on patterning the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin onto glass coverslips as a specific example of patterning. An important component of the microcontact printing process is a topological master, from which the stamps are cast; the raised and lowered regions of the master are mirrored into the stamp and define the final pattern. Typically, a master consists of a silicon wafer coated with photoresist and then patterned by photolithography, as is done here. Creation of masters containing a specific pattern requires specialized equipment, and is best approached in consultation with a fabrication center or facility. However, almost any substrate with topology can be used as a master, such as plastic diffraction gratings (see Reagents for one example), and such serendipitous masters provide readily available, simple patterns. This protocol begins at the point of having a master in hand.

Tendências no ensino da epidemiologia no Brasil

The teaching of epidemiology in Brazil began in the 1920s and has always been connected to public health. The 1970s witnessed an expansion in the number of graduate-level courses in epidemiology. The 1980s were characterized by "social epidemiology," which incorporated the social sciences and their methods into epidemiology; the second half of the decade was marked by the development of biostatistical techniques. Currently, the definition of guidelines for the teaching of epidemiology in Brazil depends on careful reflection regarding a number of issues, among which are the reformulation or elimination of medical residency programs in preventive medicine, social medicine, and collective health; the creation of masters and doctoral programs exclusively in epidemiology; the conflict between a theoretical emphasis and a technical emphasis; and the development of strategies to strengthen new instructional groups that are being created in teaching institutions in less developed regions of the country. A positive trend is that teaching institutions are working more closely with health services, both for training personnel and for providing technical support in planning, organizing, and evaluating health programs. Regarding the teaching of health service professionals, successful training depends on how well teachers can provide in-service training that ties students' learning to real work situations, where the application of theories can be understood in the natural context of real problems.
