Analysis of the Person Concept in Nursing Theories

The notion of the human as a person influences immediate action, which is especially evident in care during illness and suffering. Although medicine is as old as humanity, in the last two centuries it has developed within a bio–medical paradigm marked by positivism.Since Florence Nightingale, nursing has been trying to develop within its own paradigm characterized by four concepts of which the person is central. It is only in the past half century that unique nursing theories have been developed in which the features of personalism can be discerned. The attempts by some theorists to define the concept of person have brought it closer to the classical definition of a person as found in philosophical anthropology.The fact that there are theoretical models that direct practice from bio–medical to holistic and personalistic view speaks in favor of the maturing idea about the importance of observing man as a person with all the immediate positive effects of such a view.

Factors Affecting Medical Students’ Acceptance of the Metaverse System in Medical Training in the United Arab Emirates

Aim: Medical training activities have been disrupted in many regions following the outbreak and rapid spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) across the globe. The most affected areas include organizations’ process of leveraging high-tech medical equipment from abroad to facilitate a practical approach to learning. Also, as countries implemented COVID-19 safety regulations, it became difficult for organizations to conduct face-to-face training. Consequently, non-face-to-face learning methods have been introduced in the medical field to enable instructors to remotely engage with learners. The current research investigated the students' perceptions of the use of metaverse systems in medical training within the medical community of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods: A conceptual model comprising the adoption properties of personal innovativeness, perceived enjoyment, and Technology Acceptance Model concepts was utilised. The current research targeted students in UAE medical universities. Data was obtained by conducting online surveys that were implemented in the winter semester of 2021/2022 between 15th February and 15th May 2022. 500 questionnaires were issued to students following their voluntary participation and 435 questionnaire responses were obtained i.e. an 87% response rate. The research team tested the measurement model employing Structural Equation Modeling using Smart Partial Least Squares Version (3.2.7). Results: Statistically significant associations were confirmed to exist between Personal Innovativeness (PI) influenced by both the Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), and Perceived Usefulness (PU) (β= 0.456) and (β= 0.563) at P<0.001. The statistically significant associations involving Perceived Enjoyment (EJ) and PEOU and PU (β= 0.554, P<0.05), (β= 0.571, P<0.05) were further confirmed. Additionally, PEOU had a relationship with PU (β= 0.863, P<0.001). Eventually, PEOU and PU significantly influenced the participants’ inclination to use the metaverse technology with (β= 0.745, P<0.001) and (β= 0.416, P<0.001), respectively.

Personalization of learning in programming on the example of the application of internet services

The article deals with the concept of personalization of learning, actualizes the need to develop a model of the personalized learning in the field of vocational education in the context of the implementation of the National Program “Digital Economy”. Existing learning models created on the basis of a personalized approach are analyzed. A comparative analysis of the personalized, differentiated, individualized and adaptive learning is given. A model of personalization of learning in the study of programming through Internet services has been developed. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of introducing a model of personalization of learning when organizing programming classes in professional educational institutions.The results of the study show that a personalized learning model provides the student with the right to choose, the route of movement within the subject, the opportunity to go ahead and properly manage the time won, or, conversely, return, and catch up with classmates. This approach allows the learner to “drive” the learning car rather than sit in the passenger seat. This is the main motivating factor. The conclusions formulated in the article are of practical value for heads of educational organizations, developers of educational materials, methodologists of educational institutions to build an educational process using a personalized approach to a relatively new trend in developing vocational education systems.

Geography curriculum fidelity in map-skills development: Examining teachers’ personal concepts, lesson objectives, and observed lessons

Quality education requires teachers to approach the curriculum systematically. Systematicity in education can be viewed from different perspectives. One of these is fidelity across the different levels of the curriculum: planned, implemented, and acquired. The basic premise is that what has been planned should be implemented and mastered. Therefore, transitions between different levels of the curriculum should not trigger unintentional changes in objectives, contents, and so forth. Thus, this study aims to examine curriculum fidelity and systematicity, specifically, the links between the planned and the implemented curriculum, in one specific segment of geography education: map skills. To this end, a combination of observations and recordings of model lessons and interviews was used to research 20 lower secondary school teachers and their lessons. The results suggest little systematicity in the development of map skills, that is, only weak fidelity between the planned and implemented curriculum. Particularly, a fundamental problem was observed in setting the learning objectives of a concrete lesson.

COPD : a still neglected condition

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung disorder with a complex clinical picture. The diagnosis may be difficult at times, as COPD may develop insidiously and remain unnoticed for a long time. Therefore, general practitioners play a central role in early detection of disease. Suspected COPD may be confirmed by further investigations in collaboration with a pulmonologist. The most recent GOLD guideline defines three COPD risk groups (A-B-E) which should guide the personalized treatment concept. General practitioners are crucial for implementing non-pharmacological measures such as smoking cessation, regular exercise, vaccinations, and patient self-management education. However, this also underlines the challenges to implement the GOLD recommendations in daily practice.

Balancing Consumer Self-Benefits and Altruism in Online Shopping: Examining Consumer Preferences for Customized and Personalized Cause-Related Marketing Campaigns Versus Price Discounts

Recently, the well-established marketing concepts of personalization and customization have also been applied to cause-related marketing (CRM) to empower consumers and overcome issues of such campaigns with a specific, pre-determined cause. This study examines the effectiveness of customized and personalized CRM for apparel products compared to price discounts. The results of a representative choice based conjoint experiment among German consumers (n = 388) show that consumers prefer customized CRM to other types of CRM campaigns and price discounts. While personalized CRM is also perceived as more effective than price discounts, CRM campaigns with a baseline cause are outperformed by price discounts. The study also found that psychographic consumer characteristics, i.e., consumers’ personality structures and cultural orientations can be used to explain consumers’ heterogeneous preferences for different marketing appeals. Finally, three consumer segments were identified – pro-social consumers, pricesensitive consumers, and Amazon Captives – that retailers can target with tailored marketing strategies.

Abordagem da morte na graduação médica: percepções de estudantes à luz de contribuições freudianas

Abstract: Introduction: In western contemporary society, attempts to prevent death and suffering promote a medical training focused on dealing mostly with the biological aspects of illness and death, to the detriment of the psychosocial aspects related to those issues. Objective: The authors intended to identify medical students’ perceptions about the approach to death and dying in the light of Freudian theory about death. Method: This was a qualitative study with an exploratory approach, developed based on six focal groups consisting of 55 students from all the undergraduate medical school semesters from a federal university in the interior of the state Minas Gerais. The data produced was analyzed according to the thematic or category-based content analysis, from which the following categories emerged: 1- The death topic in undergraduate medical school; 2- The medical professional facing death. Results: To discuss death and dying in the formative process is to talk about the anguish in the face of human finitude. The students identified the approach to death and dying in undergraduate school, but in a limited and insufficient way. They indicated the need to increase contact with the topic in the curriculum, and to include, in a mandatory way, the contents on Palliative Care. The medical role encompasses both the care focused on healing and the assistance in moments when healing is not possible. The preparation to deal with death throughout undergraduate training involves personal conceptions and experiences, undergraduate practice, access to theoretical contents, specificities and subjective aspects related to each situation. The mentioned resources to deal with death, in addition to the studies, were religiosity and psychotherapy. Conclusion: To approach death in undergraduate medical curricula involves great complexity and challenges. From the viewpoint of psychological reality, human beings try to deny death and avoid suffering. Thus, the challenges in medical formation and practices consist in assuming the indissociable articulation between the biological, cultural and psychosocial aspects. To take care of life is also to take care of death and avoiding it may cause greater suffering to the patients, family members, students and medical professionals.

DISABLED BODIES AND THEIR UTILIZATION——TAKING "TUINA" AND "SHOUHUO" AS EXAMPLES

The disabled body is a common narrative element in literature, with profound implications and rich topic extension. "Tuina" and "Shouhuo" approach from the unique perspective of " body availability ", and under the potential influence of personal concept intervention, subjective spiritual constraints, and social context, they respectively present two types of body utilization patterns ： “compensating for disability”and “amplifying disability”. Behind the utilization pattern of the residual body, the reverse charm of the body's ability to overcome pathological difficulties and unleash life energy is demonstrated.

Reflections on Theory

In this paper, I reflect on how my personal conceptions on “theory” have developed and become more diverse and elaborated during my career. I discuss early conceptions I learned in school and during my university studies, followed by the growing awareness of computing education research as a field that is distinct from many areas of computer science. Becoming aware of how research is carried out in social sciences and how theories are used in these contexts raised my interest in understanding what this implies for computing education research as a field, which has been building its own identity during the past 20+ years.

Real world reflection: how physiotherapists experience reflection in their practice

ABSTRACT This paper explores the nature of reflection that qualified physiotherapists use in their day-to-day practice. This is an area in which there is a dearth of research. With a grounded theory approach purposive sampling was used to recruit seven qualified physiotherapists for photo-elicitation interviews exploring whether they did reflect and if so, what their reflection was like. The findings were that they did reflect but that it occurred outside of working hours. Four conceptual categories were identified: Personal Concept, Personal Process, Time and Head-Space. Practitioners had their own ideas of what reflection was, own ways of reflecting and personal strategies for making the head space to reflect in. Typically, they used thinking modes of reflection, with occasional dialogical modes; written reflection was rare. Of novel significance was the use of strategies to complete reflection to their satisfaction, most frequently walking but also preparing vegetables, driving and showering, typically outside of work hours. The use of such cognitively non-demanding, routinised activities to aid reflection has not been widely explored in the literature on reflection and may suggest a need to rethink approaches to support the teaching of reflection which would have high validity for its place in the real world of practice.

Russian Philosophers on Personal Origins Social Concepts

The article examines the personal-psychological approach of Russian philosophers to understanding the content of social concepts. In particular, attention is drawn to the attempt of M. A. Bakunin and S. N. Bulgakov to show the conditionality of K. Marx’s teachings about the dictatorship of the proletariat with the characteristic features of his personality. The idea is expressed that the views of Bakunin himself are largely due to the features of his personality. The article also discusses a more general provision on the importance of the approach from the point of view of human nature in understanding the vitality of general sociological ideas. As an example of the application of this approach, Bakunin’s criticism of the idea of the dictatorship of the proletariat, based on his idea of the natural motivation of human behavior in specific life circumstances, is considered. The author concludes that psychological interpretation can complement the sociological construction in terms of its conformity with human nature, characteristic of it system of behavioral motivation. In addition, personal-psychological justification allows us to look at political or sociological concepts as cultural phenomena that explicitly or implicitly contain certain value attitudes.

The functions and roles of commercial spaces are diversifying according to the rapid change in consumption trends after Corona 19. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the characteristics of commercial space use after COVID-19. The consumption trend in 2020 was analyzed through literature review according to the four concepts of personalization: Persona, Shadow, Anima･Animus, and Self. In the case study, the characteristics of commercial space that meet the consumption trend rearranged with the basic concept of personalization were analyzed as a shared space, a themed space, a genderless space, and an upcycling space. The conclusion is as follows. After COVID-19, offline commercial spaces are designed to focus on groups rather than individuals. In the offline commercial space, consumers communicate with others through various experiences and events. This activates an interaction modulated by COVID-19. Through the investigation, the possibility of using all commercial spaces as a ‘third place’ was confirmed. However, a change in perception of space is necessary because genderless space is still vulnerable to accessibility. Commercial space in the post-corona era must satisfy its role as a ‘third place’ that can accommodate a large number of groups.

Analysis of High School Student’s Mental Model on Virus: Representation of Students' Conceptions

In facing the challenges of the 21st century, mastery of concepts is needed by students. Mastery of a person's concept can be known by analyzing his mental model. This study aims to determine the mental model of high school students on virus concepts. The method used is descriptive method. Respondents in this study were 30 high school students in class X. Analysis of students' mental models was carried out using drawing-writing techniques, concept maps, interviews, and questionnaires. The drawing-writing technique was focused on knowing the students' mental models about the concept of virus structure and reproduction, while the concept map was used to analyze the entire concepts of the virus. The results showed that students' mental models were still low and students' understanding of viruses was not yet structured. Based on the results of the drawing-writing test, the majority of students' mental models on the concept of virus structure were at the D3W3 level. In the concept of non-enveloped virus reproduction, the majority of students are at the D5W5 level. In the concept of enveloped virus reproduction, the majority of students are at the D1W1 level. The results of the students' mental models analyzed by concept maps were at the developing and transitional levels. The results of the comparison of students' mental models with expert mental models show that students' mental models are not close to expert mental models. Students' mental models are generally incomplete and have no connection between one concept and another.

A competency-based medical education on personal drug selection among medical students: a prospective, cross-sectional study

Background: This study was conducted to know the students’ views regarding the personal drug (P-drug) concept in the rational prescription of drugs and also to give them training on creating and using personal drug concepts. Methods: The 60 medical students (5th semester) divided into four groups were involved voluntarily three-phase, questionnaire-based, and prospective study. In the first and second phases, students were taught and asked to derive P-drug using different standard textbooks and CIMS by analyzing the efficacy, safety, cost, and convenience of drugs used for stable angina pectoris. The third phase was designed to know the student’s perceptions regarding the exercise and difficulties faced in the process of P-drug selection. It contained demographic and 12 questions with the answer using the Likert scale.Results: Students selected tab. isosorbide dinitrate sublingual as a P-drug in terms of efficacy, safety, cost, and convenience. The 96.6% (58 out of 60) responded to the questionnaire. The overall median score was 2 and interquartile range was 2-5 (IQR 2-5). The majority (73% or 44) of students were in favour of introducing the process of selection of P-drug in the undergraduate pharmacology curriculum.Conclusions: The P-drug selection exercise helped students to understand the differences among various drugs used for the treatment of stable angina pectoris and gave them a strong foundation for developing rational use of the medicine in their future careers as a doctor.

Conceptions of Professional Expertise: Implications for Educating Future Librarians

Librarianship has struggled with professional identity and power relations, both within the profession, such as between librarians who serve customers face-to-face and those who create and maintain library systems (Harris, 1992), and outside the profession (e.g., on academic campuses, where librarians have maintained a subservient relationship with disciplinary faculty) (Julien & Pecoskie, 2009). Librarianship remains a feminized profession, which generates value from stereotypically female attributes, such as caring and service, rather than from recognized professional and intellectual expertise. VanScoy (2013) found that librarians who identify as women downplay their professional expertise when discussing public service activities. However, subsequent research did not find a similar tendency among librarians of color (VanScoy & Bright, 2017) suggesting that intersectional identities may be at play. These findings merit further study. While a feminist lens has been used to examine librarianship (e.g., Harris, 1992; Lew & Yousefi, 2017), feminism and intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989) have not been applied to empirical work to a significant extent. We will present preliminary results of an ongoing study exploring librarians’ experience of professional expertise, examined through an intersectional lens. The project includes interviews with 30 librarians representing multiple identities including gender, race, type of role (public-facing and non-public-facing roles), and managerial level. The study intends to amplify marginalized voices, to better understand personal conceptions of professional expertise. This has implications for education future librarians, as they are coached to develop a sense of expertise to support their career ambitions. Implications for educating librarians are the focus of the poster.

On the Interaction Between Shared Design Studios and Interior Architecture Students: A New Spatial Experience with Extended Reality for Supporting Place Attachment

Place attachment is one of the basic psychological needs in the human-space relationship. It is known that the characteristics of the shared design studios have a direct effect on the space adaptation of the user. Place attachment occurs simultaneously with the space adaptation process of the students, therefore these two concepts have a direct relationship with each other. Open and flexible activities in shared design studios reduces the adaptation and working efficiency of the students. It can be said that this situation will cause problems in the sense of belonging to that kind of learning environments. It is known that the user of the shared workspace tends to personalize the studios as a result of the need for belonging in the place adaptation status. The process of the study is trifold; first the concept of shared design studios was examined and researches on the concepts of personalization and belonging were conveyed through literature reviews in order to reveal the interior design students and shared design studio relationship. Then using literature data, a spatial belonging scale was presented to interior design students to determine their place attachment status and augmented reality was used to test the tendency to customize shared studio spaces accordingly. Lastly their affiliation in the hybrid environment and their tendency to personalize the space were analyzed.
