The Startψell initiative in Action: A Project supporting Early-career Consultant Psychiatrists in a Southeast UK mental health trust.

IntroductionTransition to a consultant role is a challenging time for an early career psychiatrist, as the high level of structure and guidance available during psychiatric training ceases when training is complete. The Royal College of Psychiatrists, UK therefore pioneered the Startψell initiative to ease this transition. This consultant-led initiative proposed embedding good habits and robust coping mechanisms early on, to enable psychiatrists to thrive in their roles and is based on six main pillars (New consultants (StartWell) (rcpsych.ac.uk) Image 1: Startwell framework. Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BHFT) is a mental healthcare provider based in Southeast England where we designed a project to enhance support to new consultants, based on Startψwell principles.ObjectivesThe aims of this project were to: -Improve the experience of early career psychiatrists taking on their first consultant role in BHFT.-Ensure that the new consultants are provided with relevant information and resources to fulfil their roles safely.-Set up a system for ongoing support for new consultants till they complete five years in their post.MethodsHaving discussed the feasibility of setting up a local Startwell initiative in BHFT, plans were presented to the medical director and medical staff committee including new consultants, for their input. Under the guidance from senior consultants, monthly meetings were arranged which offered professional development talks and peer support. As several themes emerged at these meetings, we stratified and aligned these local to the RCPsych Startψell framework (Image 2:Themes). An induction folder was also collated with all the relevant information in paper and digital format. In addition, a yearly bespoke induction event for new consultant psychiatrists was delivered from 2019-2022 except in 2021, during the pandemic.ResultsWe used Likert scales to gather quantitative feedback (Table 1) with free box for comments to capture qualitative feedback (Image 3).

We provide data to illustrate the Navigator model at OHSU and examine continued opportunities to optimize research resources. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Requests and activities performed by the OCTRI Navigator program, staffed by 3 FTE (2 Assistant Navigators and 1 Assistant Director) were analyzed. Navigator receives requests through multiple methods: a digital form (REDCap®), email, phone calls. Requests for services and support include focused need for a core or a broad request for multiple services for start-up: informatics, the clinical and translational research center, regulatory knowledge and support, recruitment, qualitative methods, community research, biostatistics or broad consultations. Requests are tracked in SPARCRequest. Navigator also supports wayfinding to institutional resources outside of the CTSA, matchmaking for sponsors seeking investigators, and serves as a connector and facilitator across programs. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: OCTRI Clinical Research Navigator triaged an average of 964 research requests for 613 projects with 388 unique investigators annually between 2018-2022. Navigator also fields more than 80 calls each year that are unrelated to CTSA projects. Project requests are examined to illustrate trends in projects requesting multiple services and display how Navigator simplifies project intake and connects researchers to resources they may have not recognized they needed. Project attributes including funding type and funding status are included in this review. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: CTSA resources are essential to the infrastructure available to researchers. While absolute numbers of requests provide little insight into the impact each CTSA hub may have, the timing and clustering trends of projects with multiple program requests shows how a combination of technology and experienced staff can efficiently support researchers.

NFT’s With ICP Blockchain

Abstract: Almost a century ago, the philosopher, cultural critic, and essayist Walter Benjamin grappled with the evolution of "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction." Although art had experienced imperfect imitations and reproductions throughout history, advancements like photography and film in Benjamin's time drastically heightened the efficiency and fidelity of replication. This shift raised profound questions about the notions of "originality" and "authenticity," distancing reproduced works from the unique "aura" of their originals. Fast forward to our present digital age, where a few clicks or lines of code can effortlessly generate flawless replicas, improved duplicates, or even entirely fabricated "deep fakes." However, the advent of immutable blockchain ledgers, pioneered by Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, and harnessed by non-fungible tokens (NFTs), is ushering in a new era of originality. Crucially, this new era encompasses provable originality and authenticity, paired with indisputable ownership and robust programming capabilities. Similar to how Bitcoin resolved the "double spending" predicament in our digital age, NFTs are now initiating a transformative shift in conventional notions of ownership and provenance while introducing novel forms of originality. Despite existing solely in digital form, crafted through programmable code, smart contracts, and technological protocols, an NFT can maintain its distinctive aura and original essence.

The role of information support in the withdrawal of unused lands

The goal is to analyze the state of land resources and information about them in digital format, as well as occupancy and updating in order to identify the quality of unused lands for their subsequent assignment to a specific type of land and provision for temporary use. Methods – monographic, abstract-logical, analytical, statistical, mapping and forecasting. Results - current problems in the land use system are considered. During the pandemic, all land cadastral work was transferred online. It is shown that the main vector of economic development of the republic is digitalization of agriculture, which occupies a leading position in management of agricultural lands. It is noted that in 2023 an interactive map of lands returned to state ownership was launched - jerkarta.gharysh.kz. This geoservice allows not only to display withdrawn land plots in the context of regions and districts, but also to track the statistics of vacant land plots not assigned to land users, as well as the need for pastures. Conclusions - an analysis of two databases is presented, as a result of which it was revealed that information they contain about land masses is incomplete, since there are no indicators of soil quality, physical and chemical properties, and cadastral value of land. The criteria used in conducting land competitions for the provision of unused agricultural land for commercial production have been systematized. The authors state that in order to increase the efficiency of agricultural land use, it is necessary to develop a set of regulatory materials, methodology for periodically updating cadastral documentation and land monitoring, as well as effective mechanism for interaction between bodies to provide information on land plots and ensure access to it for citizens and legal entities.

The Crisis of Democracy and the Legitimate Rule of Law: Kelsen, Populism, and the Politics of Recognition

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This essay examines how deliberation and recognition contribute to our understanding of democracy as a form of government combining two sources of legitimacy, one based on a legal procedure and the other based on ideological faith commitment.
 THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Although joint deliberation about policy aims and recognition of person’s political identities are often assumed to be complementary (Habermas, 1996; Honneth, 2014; Taylor, 1994), I argue that this need not be the case. Political identities oriented by faith commitments pose a challenge to deliberation oriented by rational compromise. A one-sided emphasis on deliberation or recognition as exclusive sources of democratic legitimation threatens to debase the res publica to an arena of identity politics whose populist proclivities are antithetical to liberal democracy. Exacerbating this trend is the phenomenon of political polarization caused in large part by the economic stratification and socio-cultural fragmentation of a global, digital form of capitalism. My method for examining and resolving the problem relies on notable philosophers who have written about the legal and political implications of deliberation and the politics of recognition: Charles Taylor, Jürgen Habermas, and Hans Kelsen.
 THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The paper begins by summarizing the importance of recognition for political life and its ambivalent humanistic and nationalistic (and sub-nationalistic) senses (Part 1). I then turn to Kelsen’s critique of recognition as incompatible with the rule of law, followed by his qualified endorsement of recognition, understood as a necessary political ethos underwriting a liberal, deliberative form of democracy (Parts 2 and 3). Turning to our contemporary democratic crisis, I show how structural transformations within and between political parties and the public sphere have given rise to authoritarian forms of populism (Part 4). I conclude by noting how imperatives within digital capitalism produce ambivalent effects regarding the restoration...
 

Teaching Scientific Integrity in Academia: What and How Students Want to Learn?

AbstractTraining in scientific integrity continues to be an important topic in universities and other research institutions. Its main goal is to prevent scientific misconduct and promote good scientific practice. However, there is still no consensus on how scientific integrity should be taught. Moreover, the perspective of those who receive such training is often underrepresented. Yet it is precisely their interests and needs that must be considered when developing educational programs. Against this backdrop, we conducted a mixed-methods study with the goal of capturing students’ perspectives on the teaching of scientific integrity. Using our online Scientific Integrity course, we explore what specific aspects of digital teaching on scientific integrity are valued, and explore other topics of interest from students’ perspectives on scientific integrity. The article presents (1) students’ self-assessment before (Q1) and after (Q2) taking the online Scientific Integrity course at the RWTH Aachen University in Germany (2) students’ feedback on the course format, video, exam, organization, and support (Q2) (3) a list of other topics of interest in the area of scientific integrity (Q2). The research outcomes demonstrate an improvement in the study participants’ self-assessment after following the online course and there is a general satisfaction among the students in regard to the course digital format and its components although a desire to have more exchange and discussion was expressed. Further topics of interest in the area of scientific integrity that study participants would like to learn about have a practical appeal and among others include research pressure, examples of applications, preventive measures, theory of science, citation rules, funding of university research. Although the results relate to our course, they provide insight into students’ perspectives on online teaching of scientific integrity. Thus, they may be helpful to higher education institutions developing online courses on scientific integrity that are tailored to university students.

In situ tumor model for longitudinal in silico imaging trials

Objective. In this article, we introduce a computational model for simulating the growth of breast cancer lesions accounting for the stiffness of surrounding anatomical structures. Approach. In our model, ligaments are classified as the most rigid structures while the softer parts of the breast are occupied by fat and glandular tissues As a result of these variations in tissue elasticity, the rapidly proliferating tumor cells are met with differential resistance. It is found that these cells are likely to circumvent stiffer terrains such as ligaments, instead electing to proliferate preferentially within the more yielding confines of the breast’s soft topography. By manipulating the interstitial tumor pressure in direct proportion to the elastic constants of the tissues surrounding the tumor, this model thus creates the potential for realizing a database of unique lesion morphology sculpted by the distinctive topography of each local anatomical infrastructure. We modeled the growth of simulated lesions within volumes extracted from fatty breast models, developed by Graff et al with a resolution of 50 μm generated with the open-source and readily available Virtual Imaging Clinical Trials for Regulatory Evaluation (VICTRE) imaging pipeline. To visualize and validate the realism of the lesion models, we leveraged the imaging component of the VICTRE pipeline, which replicates the siemens mammomat inspiration mammography system in a digital format. This system was instrumental in generating digital mammogram (DM) images for each breast model containing the simulated lesions. Results. By utilizing the DM images, we were able to effectively illustrate the imaging characteristics of the lesions as they integrated with the anatomical backgrounds. Our research also involved a reader study that compared 25 simulated DM regions of interest (ROIs) with inserted lesions from our models with DM ROIs from the DDSM dataset containing real manifestations of breast cancer. In general the simulation time for the lesions was approximately 2.5 hours, but it varied depending on the lesion’s local environment. Significance. The lesion growth model will facilitate and enhance longitudinal in silico trials investigating the progression of breast cancer.
