The phenomenon of caring for older patients who are dying from traumatic injuries in the emergency department: An interpretive phenomenological study

PurposeTo gain greater understanding of what it means to care for older patients dying from traumatic injuries in the emergency department.DesignA Heideggerian phenomenological design using the methods of Van Manen.MethodsIn‐depth, face‐to‐face interviews were conducted with five emergency nurses who worked in an emergency department in Australia. Interview data were interpreted using a Heideggerian hermeneutic approach and guided by Van Manen’s lifeworld analysis focusing on the experiential aspects of lived time (temporality) and lived space (spatiality) in the phenomenon.FindingsThe older patient reflects the passage of chronological time. This temporal aspect shaped the participant experience as there was a sudden awareness of the impact of the injuries sustained on the fragile physical condition of the patients. There was an unexpectedness and unpreparedness which was related to a precognitive assumption that the older patient would die from an age‐related comorbid condition. Also of significance was the sacred liminal space in which the nurses worked to facilitate the dying patient transition from life to death.ConclusionsThe existential dimensions of temporality and spatiality revealed new insights into what it means to care for elderly patients dying from traumatic injuries. Temporal aspects were shaped by the longevity of the lives of patients and spatiality explored the liminal space where participants were morally guided to deliver end of life care with dignity and respect for a long‐lived life taken by trauma.Clinical relevanceThe findings may contribute to further understanding of what shapes the experience for emergency nurses delivering EOL care in the ED, with specific relevance and focus on the older patient with traumatic injuries. Hermeneutic research may also encourage clinicians to explore phenomena to reveal new understandings that will inform further dialogue and future research.

Cooperative Research and Infectious Disease Surveillance: A 2021 Epilogue.

As the world looks forward to turning a corner in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, it becomes increasingly evident that international research cooperation and dialogue is necessary to end this global catastrophe. Last year, we initiated a research topic: “Infectious Disease Surveillance: Cooperative Research in Response to Recent Outbreaks, Including COVID-19,” which aimed at featuring manuscripts focused on the essential link between surveillance and cooperative research for emerging and endemic diseases, and highlighting scientific partnerships in countries under-represented in the scientific literature. Here we recognize the body of work published from our manuscript call that resulted in over 50 published papers. This current analysis describes articles and authors from a variety of funded and unfunded international sources. The work exemplifies successful research and publications which are frequently cooperative, and may serve as a basis to model further global scientific engagements.

The interdisciplinary conceptualization of future proofing in the context of hospital buildings

ABSTRACT Due to constantly changing requirements, future proofing is increasingly seen as an urgent need in hospital building design. However, as knowledge on future proofing hospital building design is yet to be consolidated, this study reviews the literature to clarify understanding of the concept in hospital building contexts. A scoping review methodology was considered appropriate to elucidate concepts in the literature. As future proofing has been developed in multiple industries, an interdisciplinary approach is taken to investigate the concept across three contexts: design (in general), the built environment and hospital buildings. Findings reveal that most studies adopted a crisis-driven approach to conceptualize future proofing – largely limited to consideration of adaptability and resilience. By synthesizing the data, the research provides a comprehensive definition of future proofing by answering the WHY, WHAT and HOW of its application to hospital building design. A future proofing model is proposed that is composed of passive–active and reactive–proactive dichotomies that identify four future proofing objectives. These objectives are addressed via six future proofing capabilities: maintainability, resilience, changeability, mitigation, improvement and transition. The study clarifies future proofing objectives in hospital building design and informs directions for further research and dialogue in policy, research, education and practice.

Caring Spaces: Individual and Social Wellbeing in Museum Community Engagement Experiences

ABSTRACT This paper explores the narratives of participants in museum community engagement projects in Scotland. Emphasis is placed on how taking part in museum community engagement projects can have a positive impact on the participants’ wellbeing. This qualitative study employed a dialogical research strategy, which involved careful and mindful choreography of the context and space within which interactions between researcher and participants emerged. Semi-structured walking interviews with five participants were conducted in the summer of 2019 at two museums in Glasgow: Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and The Lighthouse. All participants had taken part in at least one museum community engagement project in Glasgow. Participants’ narratives reveal the positive impacts that “caring spaces” engendered through museum community engagement work have on overall feelings of wellbeing, achieved through deep processes of critical reflection, which resulted in enhanced self-esteem and confidence, and a heightened awareness of participants’ situated ontology in the context of broader issues of social inequality and identities. Museum community engagement projects, when practiced and experienced as “spaces of care,” have a critical role in enhancing individual and social wellbeing amongst participants themselves, particularly in terms of identifying long-term educational and self-worth legacies.

Institutional framework and the advance of electromobility: the case of South America

This article describes the types of policies deployed for the advancement of electromobility in South America: Argentina-Buenos Aires, Brazil-São Paulo, Chile-Santiago, and Colombia-Bogotá. The selected cases validate the importance of institutional thickness to transition initiatives of sustainability. Thus, we have active and reactive territories about electromobility transition. It enabled us to highlight the pathways that have been taken so far in South America, namely: 1) the electric bus segment stands out in the regions, concentrating on private initiatives and public policy support, giving rise to new businesses and projects of technological experimentation; 2) a political glimpse of insertion in the lithium production chain for batteries; 3) technological dependence of the light vehicles and two wheelers segment. Thus, this research dialogues with the geography of transitions literature by emphasising the importance of the territorial context for the advancement or lethargy of socio-technical change.

Developing a Sustainable and Healthy Working Life with the Arts: The HeArtS Programme—A Research Dialogue with Creative Students

There are few studies on how to use art to prepare students, through higher education, to lead a sustainable and healthy working life. In order to enhance and develop the learning environments regarding creativity and health in higher academic education curricula, more studies are needed. Studies linking the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the agenda 2030 into higher education practice are also few. The aim of this study is to gather information from creative music students to be able to build an educational platform for “arts & health” that facilitates a sustainable future working life for students. The results from two focus group interviews were used to develop an interview guide for five following in-depth individual interviews. The analytical lens that was used to conduct the interviews was based on a phenomenological hermeneutic method. The complete interpretation of the study is: “Educating meaning instead of perfection—Building a Health-Arts-Sustainability (HeArtS) platform”. According to our results, meaning is not created by doing things that you are good at. The students want a curriculum where the focus is on challenges; skills that you are not good at and therefore need stimulating. The students want more collective self-aware- ness and body awareness training and sharing in their curricula. The results strongly imply that art-based curricula or the art intervention programs increasingly practiced in academia can be effective for enhancing workplace creativity and sustainable health in working life. Therefore, we suggest that higher educational programs should employ more art-related creativitytraining programs in the future.

ToD4IR: A Humanised Task-Oriented Dialogue System for Industrial Robots

Despite the fact that task-oriented conversation systems have received much attention from the dialogue research community, only a handful of them have been studied in a real-world manufacturing context using industrial robots. One stumbling block is the lack of a domain-specific discourse corpus for training these systems. Another difficulty is that earlier attempts to integrate natural language interfaces (such as chatbots) into the industrial sector have primarily focused on task completion rates. When designing a dialogue system for social robots, the user experience is prioritized above industrial robots. We provide the Industrial Robots Domain Wizard-of-Oz dataset (IRWoZ) to overcome these challenges, a fully-labeled discourse dataset covering four robotics domains. It delivers simulated discussions between shop floor workers and industrial robots, with over 401 dialogues, to promote language-assisted Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in industrial settings. Small talk concepts and human-to-human conversation strategies are provided to support humanlike answer generation and give a more natural and adaptable dialogue environment to increase user experience and engagement. Finally, we propose and evaluate an end-to-end Task-oriented Dialogue for Industrial Robots (ToD4IR) using two types of pre-trained backbone models: GPT-2 and GPT-Neo, on the IRWoZ dataset. ToD4IR’s performance in a real manufacturing context was validated through a series of trials. Our experiments demonstrate that ToD4IR outperforms three downstream task-oriented dialogue tasks, i.e., dialogue state tracking, dialogue act generation, and response generation, on the IRWoZ dataset. Our source code of ToD4IR and the IRWoZ dataset is accessible at https://github.com/lcroy/ToD4IR for reproducible research.

Методология «действенного анализа» и наследие ленинградской театральной школы: Третьи «Кнебелевские чтения»

The article provides an overview of the annual scientific conference “Knebel Readings”. In 2022, dedicated to the Leningrad Theatre School, its methodology and educational process. The origins of stage methodology are set in the directorial and pedagogical work of K. S. Stanislavsky, V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, E. B. Vakhtangov, V. E. Meyerhold, in the legacy of A.D. Popov and G.A. Tovstonogov. M.O. Knebel largely determined the theoretical and pedagogical ways of developing the methodology of the Russian theatre school in the second half of the 20th century. The work of directors and theatre-teachers of Leningrad in the 50s – 80s of the last century (B.V. Zon, Z.J. Korogodsky, G.A. Tovstonogov, A. I. Katsman and others) formed the basis of an outstanding phenomenon in the history of the Russian theatre – the Leningrad theatre school, which is still existing and developing in St. Petersburg. The report of V.M. Filshtinsky focuses on his personal understanding of the theoretical heritage of Stanislavsky–Nemirovich–Knebel, with whom he conducts a research dialogue in his new book. N.A. Kolotova, in her speech, made an analysis of methodological principles of teaching an actor by B.V. Zon (along with a historical report of his pedagogy formation). V.A. Bogatyrev shared his personal memories of his learning in the group of Z.J. Korogodsky and outlined the methods of his master, which continued and developed the methodological system of B.V. Zon. During the conference, a topical discussion took place. It was initiated by A. A. Barmak. The disturbing, from his point of view, methodological context of modern conceptual theatre, built by young directors and a new generation of theatre teachers, requires an appeal to the origins of the method of effective analysis, as well as a careful study of Russian theatre education. At the end of the conference, a review of the literary heritage of the Leningrad theatre school was made.

Deep Map and Short Residence as Crucial Elements for a Dialogic Research Method Investigating Places

Deep mapping is a research method and working practice mainly developed by artists and scholars that promises to blur the boundaries between science and art as well as between experts and local populations. This article presents the methodological thoughts and results of a deep map project carried out in a rural municipality in the Alpine region of Valle d’Aosta, Italy. Following two years of preparation, in 2019 our research team, consisting of scientists and artists, took up residence in a house in the village for a week. Based on these deep mappers’ experiences and the results of the residence, it is argued that deep map practices can benefit from being combined with a research residence in the area under investigation, as well as by using a dialogic research design to develop a clear ethical and methodological stance. The research experiences further suggest that the creation of multimedia products for deep map projects can help to animate local populations and initiate continuous dialogues between residents and deep mappers. Finally, critical moments of the investigation design are highlighted, and theoretical gaps are addressed with a view to improving the design of future deep map projects.

Humanizing Classroom Management as a Core Practice for Teachers of Multilingual Students

Developing humanizing, culturally and linguistically responsive and justice‐oriented classroom management practices require integrating robust theoretical principles with practice‐based teaching experiences. Here, we explore how using Core Practices (CPs) as a foundation for reflecting on and enacting classroom management helped novice teachers (NTs) build humanizing pedagogies for organizing and managing classrooms populated by multilingual students. Using a participatory, dialogic research design, we draw on data from team meetings, teacher interviews, and classroom observations to describe how NTs reflected on and enacted the CP Building a Positive Learning Environment in their daily work and how it helped humanize their practice. Findings indicate that NTs positioned multilingual students as individuals with complex academic, social‐emotional, linguistic, and behavioral strengths and needs; and enacted classroom management practices that were consistent, clear, culturally and linguistically responsive, and social‐emotionally supportive. We discuss how CPs may help NTs attend to these aspects of classroom management for multilingual students and develop practices that are humanizing.

Recent Advances in Dialogue Machine Translation

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in dialogue translation, which is a significant application task for machine translation (MT) technology. However, this has so far not been extensively explored due to its inherent characteristics including data limitation, discourse properties and personality traits. In this article, we give the first comprehensive review of dialogue MT, including well-defined problems (e.g., 4 perspectives), collected resources (e.g., 5 language pairs and 4 sub-domains), representative approaches (e.g., architecture, discourse phenomena and personality) and useful applications (e.g., hotel-booking chat system). After systematical investigation, we also build a state-of-the-art dialogue NMT system by leveraging a breadth of established approaches such as novel architectures, popular pre-training and advanced techniques. Encouragingly, we push the state-of-the-art performance up to 62.7 BLEU points on a commonly-used benchmark by using mBART pre-training. We hope that this survey paper could significantly promote the research in dialogue MT.

Feminismo Comunitário do Sul : Lutas, territórios e res-existências das catadoras de lixo no município de Mossoró/RN/Brasil

T This article discusses the main struggles of recyclable material collectors in the city of Mossoro-RN, exposing from a theoretical and epistemological basis of black and community feminist order, ecofeminism, decolonial feminism, in the context of paradigmatic ruptures in Southern thought. The methodological anchorage came from the point of view of cognitive injustice (Santos, 2010), and the voice of the underlings (Spivack, 2012), from where we conducted field research and in-depth interviews for a long and intermittent period of time that spanned the year from 2009 to the year 2021. The research dialogue is centered on the role of Josefa Avelino, founder and current president of the Recycling for Life Community Association (ACREVI), but includes the association's recyclable material collectors, who are mostly black women, poor, peripheral, mothers, unemployed, owners of the home economy, who resist daily in the streets, living off the leftovers, in the shadows of the world. ode of capitalist production. In the end, we believe we can see how the subjective action of women can engender new political strategies in which the issue of productivity is related to another logic of the economy of life, an economy of solidarities.

The Role of Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University in Developing the Students' Academic Skills According to the Saudi Arabia Kingdom's Vision 2030

Universities are responsible for developing students' personalities by providing them with new experiences, whether through study materials, dialogue, discussion, or scientific research teams. This research focused on academic skills from a new integrative perspective. It highlighted the weakness of the required skills for Saudi university students. Moreover, it determined the role of Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University in developing academic skills among university students considering the Saudi Arabia Kingdom's vision 2030. It used the descriptive-analytical method to achieve its purpose. The findings of the study showed that Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University had established learning and creative skills as academic skills among students. There were no statistically significant differences in developing all their academic skills according to the difference in the gender variable. However, there were statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.05≥∝) in the research sample opinions according to the faculty variable and academic level. Therefore, the research recommends adopting awareness programs about the importance of educational skills among university students. Furthermore, it emphasizes intensifying university courses with topics that urge students to pay attention to self-learning skills.

Spanish adolescents’ and young adults’ coping strategies under severe lock-down due to COVID-19: a dialogical research study

BackgroundDuring spring of 2020, millions of young adults throughout the world were sent home as a measure to contain the spread of COVID-19. In March 2020, Madrid became the city of the world with the highest incidence and mortality rates. By applying a phenomenological approach, this study aimed at gaining in-depth understanding of the subjective mental health experiences lived by Spanish young adults.Methodsdialogical research was used to interact with AYA and young adults. AYA were recruited using the network of networks and snowball strategies. 36 were initially contacted and 35 decided to participate. All participants were informed of their right to stop the dialogue at any time without providing any further explanation to the researcher, and were informed of the data protection rules of the University of Copenhagen. All signed an informed consent. The 35 dialogues were held online using Zoom, recorded and saved in a secured folder.. The dialogues lasted on average 55 minutes, were transcribed with Nvivo Transcription software. The sociological theory on Resonance was used to shape specific segments of the dialogues and to analysis the data.Results35 online dialogues with 20 adolescent girls and 15 adolescent boys aged from 17 to 23 were held from the second to the 28 of April 2020. The majority of youth did not leave their residences for 2 months. Three of them lost relatives due to COVID-19, one was admitted at the hospital and seven had relatives who contracted the disease. Different themes were brought up: 1) AYA' relations with their physical spaces and with time. 2) Relating with others. 3) Strategies to overcome sense of alienation, loss and fear and to re-find resonance. AYA living with chronic or mental diseases realized the importance of developing supportive habits and of adhering to treatments.ConclusionsDialogical research allowed youth to reflect upon their experiences and abilities to cope with the shock a provoked by COVID-19.

Использование гибридного обучения в многонациональных группах студентов вуза

Hybrid learning combines face-to face and online learning, which makes it highly relevant for the current pandemic situation. As a result of global migration, Kemerovo State University welcomes more and more international students each year, hence the need for pedagogical interaction research in cultural dialogue and intercultural communication. The article describes the organizational component of this interaction, which includes a set of methods and technologies that ensure cooperation of all subjects of pedagogical interaction. The authors tested various digital tools of teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and hybrid learning methods in multinational groups of university students. Digital tools allowed students to master basic language and computer skills, as well as increased their motivation and involvement. Interactive teaching materials and automated testing improved the process of hybrid learning in groups where students studied both in classroom and from home. The technologies also helped to establish emotional contact, improved cooperation and creativity, and developed tolerance and teamwork.

Paul Ricoeur on the Recognition of Anxiety: Phenomenological Hermeneutics in Action

The philosophical concept of anxiety, which is usually associated with Kierkegaard and Heidegger's existential philosophy, seems to be an underestimated notion in Paul Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics, while its role is important - anxiety appears to serve as the grounding for hope in his hermeneutics of self. The article aims to show how the anxiety is explained in Ricoeur's philosophy through attention and recognition, and how the anxiety is reflected in the narrative forms, or descriptions of vivencia . These descriptions may be seen as the verbal explanation of the so-called affective niche or affective scaffolding , which is a form of cultural adaptation, attempting to interpret and comprehend one's state of mind and way of the perception of the world as such in the given moment. The research and further dialogue based on these narrations may become an important source to recover from anxiety disorder, by discovering its existential meaning and, at the same time, accepting personal responsibility for it. Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics made an important theoretical contribution in understanding the essential aspects of anxiety and hope; but it also developed prolific methods of interpretation, that could be practically applied in health care and psychotherapy; these can be shown on the example of the psychotherapeutic method of the usage of so-called 'anxiety protocols', which aim to arrange the hermeneutical co-research to help patient/client to recognize and overcome its anxiety disorders.

Authorship and female stardom in Spanish cinema under Franco: Sara Montiel and Marujita Díaz

ABSTRACT During the Francoist regime in Spain (1939–1975), it was extremely challenging for women to gain visibility in the public sphere and to obtain professional recognition. In the Spanish film industry, women rarely had creative roles. This article focuses on the creative practices of two outstanding female stars, Sara Montiel and Marujita Díaz, who assumed significant control over their films in the 1960s. Our research dialogues with feminist perspectives on female authorship in film history, and with theories about stardom and authorship from the field of star studies to analyze Montiel’s and Díaz’s creative and industrial strategies to take control of their own careers. The patriarchal pressures they had to overcome evidence the lack of study and cultural legitimization of their creative practices. The recovery of these silenced stories contributes to contemporary debates about female stars and power in film industries.

Growing pains – a case study from higher education

Theoretical basis The teaching case study is based on a (real-life) complex organizational and strategic context, and several bodies of literature may be used to interpret, analyze, explore and discuss alternative solutions. Among several relevant theoretical basis are (educational) leadership, strategy, institutional change, organization, practice orientation of education and organizational learning. The Instructors’ Manual gives suggestions as to how the case may be used in teaching and gives references to relevant literature. Research methodology The teaching case study is based on participatory action research. The narrative of the case is based on empirical observations in form of a research diary recording events, dialogues and discussion with colleagues and organizational leaders during a five-year period. The case study is based on real proceedings. But, the narrative is generic, and names are anonymized, and organizational contexts and events are disguised. Any similarities to real institutions are coincidental. Case overview/synopsis The case tells the story of Birk Grimson (PhD), a professional who returns to academia after many years of business practice in the private sector. He is struck by how different the work ambience is in academia and how bureaucracy and a rigid organizational structure seem to quell innovation, resulting in resistance to systematic learning, organizational development and strategic change. Complexity academic level The teaching case study is appropriate for business, organizational or administrative students at master’s, PhD level or executive education. For students with other disciplinary educational backgrounds (such as engineering, education or health care), some basic knowledge of organization and management or alternatively relevant experience is recommended.

Sensoria: An exploratory interdisciplinary framework for researching multimodal & sensory experiences

This paper describes the development and salience of an original and innovative interdisciplinary approach, Sensoria, that combines methods and techniques from social science and performance to address the methodological challenges of researching sensory/multimodal experiences. It sets out the core components and methodological principles that underpin the approach and uses an illustrative example to show how it can facilitate research on hard to access sensorial experiences, to access, understand and analyse people’s experiences and perspectives of touch, a highly tacit sensory mode. The paper discusses the methodological contribution and challenges of this approach to sensory research for social science and artistic practice and ‘more-than-representational’ research more generally. It concludes by making a case for more critical research spaces at the intersection of these disciplines to foster multi-dimensional research dialogues and to advance the exploration and understanding of the relationship between the sensory, social and the digital.
