Academic stress and psychological resources for achieving educational goals

Introduction. In modern society, characterised by rapid changes, the study of stress and the psychological resources necessary for overcoming it in various aspects of life has become increasingly relevant. The findings from this research are particularly significant for young people transitioning into adulthood, as they often lack sufficient knowledge and experience. Aim. The present research aims to explore the concept of academic stress, including theoretical approaches, findings, and the implications of empirical studies regarding its impact on the personal and regulatory resources necessary for academic success, psychological well-being, and professional self-determination among adolescent students. Results and scientific novelty. The article presents a theoretical analysis of literary sources and empirical studies conducted by both Russian and foreign authors regarding the issue of academic stress. The authors propose a working definition of academic stress, examine its sources and consequences, and analyse the results of empirical studies on both acute and chronic stress within educational environments. It is demonstrated that acute stress is influenced by contextual factors and can have not only negative impacts but also positive effects on academic productivity during knowledge assessments. In contrast, chronic stress can lead to serious negative consequences for a student’s physical and psychological health. Theoretically, the authors explore the potential of the resource-based approach in studying academic stress and its mitigation, as well as new directions for developing scientific understanding of the meta-resource role of conscious self-regulation in achieving various life goals under stressful conditions. Empirically, the study aims to identify both universal and specific regulatory competencies that enable young individuals to attain academic success, psychological well-being, and make informed professional choices in challenging stressful situations. Additionally, the research plans to investigate the personality traits and regulatory competencies that may serve as both universal and specific resources for post-traumatic growth in challenging life circumstances. Practical significance. The research findings can be applied in pedagogical and psychological practices to develop methods for alleviating stress in educational environments.

Research and fellowship funding perspectives: A collective NIHR experience of a community of pre- and post-doctoral radiographers.

This paper harnesses a comprehensive overview and the collective experience of a community of pre- and post-doctoral Radiographers in successfully securing grants to demonstrate what is required as part of an NIHR fellowship application. Developing a research fellowship application requires individuals to expose themselves to critique to improve the content, design and structure of the proposed piece of work. The scale of the project should be carefully considered when developing applications, with the research plan accurately and realistically proposing a suitable amount of work to be undertaken within the timeframe. All fellowship applications comprise several key elements which must be meticulously crafted to address the requirements of the specific call. This is critical because every section of the application undergoes scrutiny by review panels to ensure the funding achieves its maximum impact. The key elements requiring detailed information are themed around Project, Person, Place, Patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE), the surrounding People, and a training plan. However, a golden thread highlighting inclusive research that is people-centred is required to run through the entire application. NIHR fellowships are an important pathway to enable dedicated clinically relevant research projects for patient/family benefit to be combined with the advancement of an individual's clinical and academic skills. These dedicated funding streams are tailor-made to enable a wide range of healthcare professionals, including Radiographers, to develop into research leaders of the future. Maximising research training opportunities, including research fellowships for the Radiography profession, will offer the completion of clinically relevant research projects alongside the development of the research leaders of the future.

Semantic and phonological associative norms of 145 French words for children aged 5–9 years: Free associations and forced-choice task

This study aimed to establish normative data for 145 words using phonological and semantic association tasks with 242 French schoolchildren, ranging from ages 5 (Grande Section) to 8 (Cours Elémentaire 2), providing a fundamental resource for future research and educational planning. The participants were engaged in two primary tasks: a free association task, entailing image recognition followed by phonological or semantic word association and a forced-choice task, involving choosing semantically or phonologically related images from options. Overall, there were more associations produced for semantic associations than phonological ones; however, there was a greater variety of phonological associations than semantic ones. We found that 5-year-old children performed better in semantic tasks by choosing expected associates compared to phonological tasks. However, this difference was not present in older children. This suggests that phonological networks develop more gradually than semantic ones, with phonological awareness continuing to improve with age while semantic stability is reached earlier. The established norms offer a framework for educators, clinicians, and researchers in understanding and assessing the semantic and phonological associative strategy of children in early educational settings within the French context.

Lifetime progression of IgA nephropathy: a retrospective cohort study with extended long-term follow-up

BackgroundIgA nephropathy (IgAN) exhibits an unpredictable trajectory, creating difficulties in prognostication, monitoring, treatment, and research planning. This study provides a comprehensive depiction of the progression of kidney function throughout the disease course, from diagnosis to a span of 36 years post-diagnosis.MethodsWe utilized a cohort of 400 Norwegian IgAN patients, from diagnosis to the occurrence of death, initiation of kidney replacement therapy (KRT), or the latest follow-up. Recorded proteinuria (n = 2676) and creatinine (n = 8738) measurements were retrieved. Patients were divided into subgroups based on their specific estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slopes.ResultsMedian follow-up was 16 years. During this period, 34% of patients either died or initiated KRT. Among patients who reached endpoint, the median duration from diagnosis to the initiation of KRT or death was 8 years. Notably, 34% of the cohort exhibited a stable disease course, characterized by an eGFR decline of less than 20% between two consecutive measurements. Differences in subsequent disease trajectories among two subgroups with similar eGFR levels at diagnosis could not be accounted for by variations in treatment strategies. Among patients with proteinuria < 1 g/24 h in less than half of the measurements, KRT was five times more prevalent compared to those with more than half of the measurements recording proteinuria < 1 g/24 h (p-value = 0.001).ConclusionsWhile a significant proportion of IgAN patients reach kidney failure within their lifetimes, outcomes vary widely. Clinical data at diagnosis offer limited insights into long-term risks. Enhanced risk stratification necessitates data collection at multiple time points.

Casos de manejo sostenible de concesiones forestales maderables en la Región Madre de Dios, Perú

In Peru, informal use of the Amazon forests predominates, in violation of the regulatory measures that regulate forest harvesting activities. Despite a series of factors that limit or hinder the application of sustainable forest management (SFM), there are positive experiences that show high standards in the management practiced over the years. The objective of this article is to show the level reached by some successful forest management initiatives in the Madre de Dios Region and how they contribute to improving the model of forest concessions for timber purposes (CFM) in the country. This model, introduced into Peruvian legislation in the 2000s, currently has more than 9.7 million hectares under concession, although the CFM that are operational cover only 2.4 million hectares. Madre de Dios is the region with the largest area of certified forest in the country, with six CFM totaling 601,535 ha. Based on a study funded by the USAID Pro-Bosques Project, two initiatives managed by concessionaire companies in this region were selected for systematization: Consolidado Maderacre S.A.C. and Consolidado Forestal Otorongo S.A.C., and one by a native community (CN): CN Bélgica. The methodology included field visits in which a guide was applied to describe the various aspects of interest for systematization, as well as interviews with various stakeholders. The results are described for each of the three initiatives, covering general information on the case, planning and implementation of forest management, environmental aspects, monitoring and research, economic and sociocultural aspects, and lessons learned. Based on the experiences of the three cases with high standards in their forest management practices, the authors highlight how they contribute to keeping the forest standing with its productive and ecosystem functions, and the challenges they face or perceive, to finally offer some guidelines that can help improve the viability of the current CFM model and take advantage of the opportunities to introduce reforms that help its scaling.

Integration of the community into health research through community-engaged research has proven to be an essential strategy for reducing health inequities. It brings significant benefits by addressing community health concerns and promoting active community participation in research. The Community Training Institute for Health Disparities (CTIHD) was established to support this integration based on Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) principles. The main objective of this paper is to report the CTIHD program's implementation, evaluation, and outcomes from the first two cohorts. The CTIHD recruited Hispanic community members (N = 54) to be trained in health disparities research and health promotion to foster Community-Academic Partnerships (CAPs) and develop community-led health promotion interventions. Evaluation measures included satisfaction, knowledge change, retention rate, completion rate, and project proposals (research and community health promotion plans). The retention and completion rates were 83% and 78%, respectively, with forty-two (n = 42) community trainees receiving the completion certification. Both cohorts demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge (p < 0.05), and overall satisfaction exceeded 90%. Outcomes include seven (7) community-academic partnerships, leading to the co-development of research proposals, three (3) of which received funding. Additionally, twenty-two (22) community health promotion plans were developed, with seven (7) implemented, impacting 224 individuals. Findings from this study suggest that the CTIHD effectively provided capacity building, promoted the formation of CAPs, and increased community-led health promotion interventions, thereby advancing health disparity research and community initiatives.
