Biograma na pesquisa em educação: sentidos construídos sobre direitos de aprendizagem da docência em Matemática

Abstract Narrative research has been used by several researchers in the fields of education and mathematics education, using different devices to produce data. One of them, which is still not very well known in the field in our country, is the biogram: a map of the participant’s professional career that makes it possible to highlight events that occurred through their chronology and the value given by the participant himself, in dialog with the researcher. The aim of this article is to discuss the possibilities and limits of using the biogram in educational research, based on its use in studies about the training experience in the National Pact for Literacy at the Right Age (PNAIC), in relation to learning to teach mathematics in the early years of elementary school. To this end, the use of the biogram in the research process is presented and discussed. As with any device aimed at producing data, the use of the biogram has some limits, such as the difficulty of synthesizing information from an interview and the need to make interpretations according to what was explained by the participant. On the other hand, it offers the possibility of reflecting on professional development trajectories and training programs that constitute milestones (critical incidents) for the construction of new beliefs, classroom practices, and teaching knowledge, among others. In addition, it can promote self-education for both the researcher and the participant, by allowing the process of valuing conversations in a time and space, triggered by the present lived and narrated.

Academia and International Organizations: An Exploration of UN Language Services and Implications for Universities Teaching Translation and Interpretation

Abstract This paper explores the collaboration between academia and international organizations (IOs), focusing on the United Nations (UN) language services, and the implications of such collaboration for universities teaching translation and interpretation (T&I). By examining the historical development, current practices and latest trends in UN language services, the paper describes a comprehensive ecology of language services at the UN. It then highlights the UN’s commitment to multilingualism as a core value, emphasising the significance of high-quality language services in fostering effective multilingual communication among member states. The paper then explores the strategic partnership between Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) and the UN, showcasing how such collaborations can enhance T&I training programs to meet the UN’s operational needs and outreach goals. Finally, it addresses the broader implications for T&I training universities, suggesting targeted measures to align academic training with the practical demands of IOs. This study aims to enhance an understanding of academia’s role and function in supporting IOs, and to delineate approaches through which universities might better adapt to cater for the evolving needs and requirements of IOs. It advocates for intensified collaboration and the longer-term development of training programs aimed at fostering a pool of reserve talents for IOs.

Національний кодекс дизайну України як пріоритетна умова становлення і розвитку системи дизайн-освіти

The article considers the need to develop the National Design Code of Ukraine as a key stage in the formation and development of the national design education and design system. In the opinion of the author, one of the priority directions of this Code is the definition of standards and norms regulating design activities at the national level. He believes that for its development it is possible to take into account the experience of the development of the UK design education system, which is considered one of the best in the world. The researcher proposes at the institutional level to create the State Design Development Agency (DARD), under which to create a National Design Center for the problems of continuous design education in Ukraine and to develop the National Digital Code of Design on its basis: designing an aesthetic, reliable and convenient environment for sustainable development, which will be a systematic collection of principles and standards. For the comprehensive development of the digital code, it is necessary to develop a project of application of the “ten characteristics” of the national design of Ukraine, necessary for creating an environment of sustainable development: context; identity; forming; traffic networks and patterns of people's movement; natural components; public spaces; ease of use; preservation of health, comfort and safety; conservation of resources; quality of life. At the same time, it is necessary to foresee the justification and implementation of the ten principles of Ukrainian national design. The developed National Design Code of Ukraine will act not only as a regulatory document, but also as an important basis for structuring and developing the design education system. It will become the basis for the development of training programs and courses adapted to the requirements of the time and the needs of the market. The implementation of this code is a key stage on the way to the formation of highly qualified and creative specialists in the field of design in Ukraine.

The use of gamification on cybersecurity awareness of healthcare professionals

Cybersecurity has a major impact on the healthcare sector, mainly due to the sensitive data and vital medical devices that, when an attack occurs, may compromise the life, safety, and well-being of the patients. However, those institutions fail on implementing correct system protection policies and providing adequate programs for cybersecurity training and raising cybersecurity awareness. Healthcare professionals develop their academic courses focusing on providing the best care for the patients, studying guidelines, treatment protocols, and diagnostic criteria. However, there are insufficient subjects dedicated to the development of digital literacy to match the requisites of the daily challenges of those professionals, with human error being the main cause of data breaches worldwide. So, developing training programs to face the cybersecurity day-to-day threats is mandatory.Broadly speaking, traditional training programs seem to fail on retaining students’ motivation, engagement, and long-term knowledge acquisition, being time-consuming and challenging in scheduling and planning. To face this situation, new techniques, such as gamification, have emerged, with promising results on motivation and engagement, allowing the users to be the center of the training programs, matching the strategy to their levels of knowledge and preferences.This paper aims to identify the existing gamified approaches available, review the state-of-the-art related to gamification and cybersecurity training, and elaborates on how they can be successfully applied to training programs for healthcare professionals.

Assessment of the Diagnostic Accuracy and Reliability of the HEART Score Calculated by Ambulance Nurses Versus Emergency Physicians.

Chest pain is a common complaint for consultation of emergency medical services worldwide. Currently, ambulance nurses (AN) base their decision to transport a patient to the hospital on their own professional experience. The HEART score could improve prehospital risk stratification and patient treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the interrater reliability and predictive accuracy of the HEART score between AN and emergency physicians (EP). A retrospective analysis on data of 569 patients 18 years and older included in two prehospital HEART score studies. The endpoints are interrater reliability (intraclass correlation [ICC]) and predictive accuracy for major adverse cardiac events within 30 days of the HEART score calculated by AN versus EP. Predictive accuracy is sensitivity, specificity, positive predicted value (PPV) and negative predicted value (NPV). Interrater reliability was good for total HEART score (ICC 0.78; 95% CI 0.75-0.81). However, focusing on the decision to transport a patient, the ICC dropped to 0.62 (95% CI 0.62-0.70). History and Risk factors caused the most variability. Predictive accuracy of HEART differed between AN and EP. The HEART score calculated by AN was sensitivity 91%, specificity 38%, PPV 26%, and NPV 95%. The HEART score calculated by EP was sensitivity 98%, specificity 32%, PPV -26%, and NPV 99%. With a cut-off value of 0-2 for a low HEART score, predictive accuracy significantly improved for the HEART score calculated by AN: sensitivity 98%, specificity 18%, PPV 22%, and NPV 98%. Our study shows a moderate interrater reliability and lower predictive accuracy of a HEART score calculated by AN versus EP. AN underestimate the risk of patients with acute chest pain, with the largest discrepancies in the elements History and Risk factors. Reconsidering the cut-off values of the low-risk HEART category, as well as a carefully developed training program, will possibly lead to a higher interrater reliability of the HEART score and higher predictive accuracy used by AN.

Measures to Prevent Traffic Accidents and Reduce Damages in 119 Ambulances

In 2021, the National Fire Agency recorded 141 traffic accidents involving 119 ambulances. A common scenario involves collisions at intersections, where ambulances often running into a red light intersect with vehicles proceeding with a green light. These accidents entail special attention because of the potential threats they pose not only to emergency medical service (EMS) personnel but also to the safety of patients and other vehicles on the road. Many studies have emphasized that it is necessary to reinforce the priority rights of ambulance and the duty of other vehicles to yield. However, research addressing challenges faced by ambulance drivers has remained insufficient. This study conducted a survey of EMS personnel about their psychological status while driving an ambulance and the use of warning lights and sirens. Prevention of traffic accidents related to 119 ambulances entails data collection and statistical analysis, reinforcement of professionals, expansion of emergency vehicle priority signaling systems, and development of simulator-based training programs. Policies that do not reflect ambulance drivers’ psychological state and driving patterns might turn out to be ineffective.
