Understanding the value of co-creation for social innovation interpretations of social innovation and co-creation in European policy-related documents between 1995 and 2018
No full textSocial innovation and co-creation have been discussed in academic literature for the last twenty years. However, the interrelatedness and application of these concepts in European Union policy deserves more attention. In our study, we focus on this relationship and application, by analysing the value of co-creation for social innovation. By analysing a large EU dataset, we showed that social innovation and co-creation were used more and more widely and that their use took off after 2010 and 2015 respectively. By applying a contextual analysis, we also revealed that both concepts became connected in EU policy on research and innovation. Our analysis also shows that co-creation became an indicator for successful social innovation in the Horizon Europe Framework programme. These results show the importance of co-creation in policies, but because the concept has not been defined properly, this carries the risk of simplifying co-creation into a box-ticking exercise.</p
Feedback and coaching
No full textIf used thoughtfully and with intent, feedback and coaching will promote learning and growth as well as personal and professional development in our learners. Feedback is an educational tool as well as a social interaction between learner and supervisor, in the context of a respectful and trusting relationship. It challenges the learner's thinking and supports the learner's growth. Coaching is an educational philosophy dedicated to supporting learners' personal and professional development and growth and supporting them to reach their potential. In clinical education, feedback is most effective when it is explicitly distinguished from summative assessment. Importantly, feedback should be about firsthand observed behaviors (which can be direct or indirect) and not about information which comes from a third party. Learners are more receptive to feedback if it comes from a source that they perceive as credible, and with whom they have developed rapport. The coaching relationship between learner and supervisor should also be built on mutual trust and respect. Coaching can be provided in the moment (feedback on everyday clinical activities that leads to performance improvement, even with short interaction with a supervisor) and over time (a longer term relationship with a supervisor in which there is reflection on the learner's development and co-creation of new learning goals). Feedback and coaching are most valuable when the learner and teacher exhibit a growth mindset. At the organizational level, it is important that both the structures and training are in place to ensure a culture of effective feedback and coaching in the clinical workplace.Conclusions: Having a thoughtful and intentional approach to feedback and coaching with learners, as well as applying evidence-based principles, will not only contribute in a significant way to their developmental progression, but will also provide them with the tools they need to have the best chance of achieving competence throughout their training. What is Known: • Feedback and coaching are key to advancing the developmental progression of trainees as they work towards achieving competence. • Feedback is not a one-way delivery of specific information from supervisor to trainee, but rather a social interaction between two individuals in which trust and respect play a key role. • Provision of effective feedback may be hampered by confusing formative (supporting trainee learning and development) and summative (the judgment that is made about a trainee's level of competence) purposes. What is New: • Approaches to both the provision of feedback/coaching and the assessment of competence must be developed in parallel to ensure success in clinical training programs. • Faculty development is essential to provide clinical teachers with the skills to provide effective feedback and coaching. • Coaching's effectiveness relies on nurturing strong trainee-supervisor relationships, ensuring high-quality feedback, nourishing a growth mindset, and encouraging an institutional culture that embraces feedback and coaching.</p
CHARLES PERRAULT'S FAIRY TALE "PUSS IN BOOTS" IN MUSICAL INTERPRETATION ON THE RUSSIAN SCREEN
No full textThe article is devoted to the embodiment of one of the popular Western European fairy tale plots on the Russian musical screen. The theme associated with the image of Puss in Boots became especially widespread in the 20th century. It is significant that many incarnations of this fairy tale appeared in literature, music, fine arts and screen arts in Russia. According to the author, it is one of the brightest artistic expressions of Russian Westernism. The first major work was the children's opera composed by César Cui (1913). The libretto was written by Marina Pol'. After this opus, already in the Soviet and post-Soviet times, there are many literary works, cartoons, feature films, operas and musical things for children's performance, professional theatrical productions, drawings and sculptures were created. In this paper, first of all, the author explores the especially significant films, cartoons, and video recordings of musical performances.http://mediamusic-journal.com/Issues/13_2.htm
Le cartulaire et la chronique de l’abbaye Saint-Bénigne de Dijon:le manuscrit 591 de la Bibliothèque municipale de Dijon (XIe et XVIIe siècles)
No full textMining, waste and environmental thought on the Central African Copperbelt, 1950-2000
No full textSince the early twentieth century, the copper-mining industry on the Zambian and Congolese Copperbelt has moved millions of tonnes of earth and dramatically reshaped the landscape. Nonetheless, mining companies, governments and even residents largely overlooked the adverse environmental aspects of mining until the early 1990s. By scrutinising environmental knowledge production on the Central African Copperbelt from the 1950s until the late 1990s, particularly regarding notions of ‘waste’, this article problematises the silencing of the environmental impacts of mining. To make the environmental history of the Copperbelt visible, this article examines forestry policies, medical services and environmental protests. Moreover, by historically tracing the emergence of environmental consciousness, it contextualises the sudden ‘discovery’ of pollution in the 1990s as a local and (inter)national phenomenon. Drawing on rare archival and oral history sources, it provides one of the first cross-border environmental histories of the Central African Copperbelt
Intestinal Oxygenation and Survival After Surgery for Necrotizing Enterocolitis:An Observational Cohort Study
No full textOBJECTIVE: To assess whether regional intestinal oxygen saturation (rintSO2) and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rcSO2) measurements aid in estimating survival of preterm infants after surgery for NEC.SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Predicting survival after surgery for NEC is difficult yet of the utmost importance for counseling parents.METHODS: We retrospectively studied prospectively collected data of preterm infants with surgical NEC who had available rintSO2 and rcSO2 values measured via near-infrared spectroscopy 0-24 hours preoperatively. We calculated mean rintSO2 and rcSO2 for 60-120 minutes for each infant. We analyzed whether preoperative rintSO2 and rcSO2 differed between survivors and non-survivors, determined cut-off points, and assessed the added value to clinical variables.RESULTS: We included 22 infants, median gestational age 26.9 weeks [interquartile range (IQR): 26.3-28.4], median birth weight 1088 g [IQR: 730-1178]. Eleven infants died postoperatively. Preoperative rintSO2, but not rcSO2, was higher in survivors than in non-survivors [median: 63% (IQR: 42-68) vs 29% (IQR: 21-43), P < 0.01), with odds ratio for survival 4.1 (95% confidence interval, 1.2-13.9, P = 0.02) per 10% higher rintSO2. All infants with rintSO2 values of >53% survived, whereas all infants with rintSO2 <35% died. Median C-reactive protein [138 mg/L (IQR: 83-179) vs 73 mg/L (IQR: 12-98), P < 0.01), lactate [1.1 mmol/L (IQR: 1.0-1.6) vs 4.6 mmol/L (IQR: 2.8-8.0), P < 0.01], and fraction of inspired oxygen [25% (IQR: 21-31) vs 42% (IQR: 30-80), P < 0.01] differed between survivors and non-survivors. Only rintSO2 remained significant in the multiple regression model.CONCLUSIONS: Measuring rintSO2, but not rcSO2, seems of added value to clinical variables in estimating survival of preterm infants after surgery for NEC. This may help clinicians in deciding whether surgery is feasible and to better counsel parents about their infants' chances of survival.</p
Views on ‘World Literature':Cultural transfer and translation in the context of an Online International Exchange (OIE) project – A case study of China, the Netherlands and Sweden
No full textThis chapter discusses an international collaborative learning project as a vehiclefor exploring matters important for the future of the philological disciplines, matters where it is important that learned societies should be able to recognize and support the scholarly collaborations required. In this respect, it is work that illustrates FILLM’s role in enabling communication and cooperation between learned societies, in the very applied terms of a specific learning and teaching intervention. Digital tools and methods are becoming more widely used for scholarlyresearch and education in the arts, humanities and social sciences. Digital toolsfacilitate communication between people all over the world. It is impossible toimagine contemporary life without the computer. Video conferences, Skype conversations, e-mail and e-learning platforms, to name a few, are also widely used in the education practices of today. To what extent, however, are we taking into consideration the different cultures in the intercultural classroom? Can we learn from each other, even if we do not live in the same culture? When we are discussing academic topics such as world literature, do we speak the same language even when we use English, the late-modern lingua franca?As an example, we present here the outcomes of an Online InternationalExchange (OIE) project about world literature, genres, cultural transfer and(non)translations. The project could serve as an example of how learned societies can benefit from new social media and the internet in intercultural education andcommunication. The project included Chinese, Dutch and Swedish teachers andstudents
The Birthday Party Test (BPT); A new picture description test to support the assessment of simultanagnosia in patients with acquired brain injury
No full textThere is broad consensus on the utility of complex pictures in the assessment of simultanagnosia in patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). To overcome various shortcomings of current instruments, we have developed the Birthday Party Test (BPT); a picture description test that contains a neutral scene, a balanced representation of events, and provides clear instructions and a scoring-aid. We have applied the BPT in a large group of patients with ABI (n = 502) and in an age-matched healthy control group (n = 194). Our results show that performance on the BPT was associated with a range of descriptive, neuropsychological and clinical characteristics and that poor test performance appeared to be more common in patients with etiologies that have an increased risk of bilateral damage. Furthermore, we assume a high correspondence between test performance on the BPT and the assessor’s clinical judgment of likely having simultanagnosia in preliminary analyses. This study shows the potential usefulness of the BPT to support diagnostic decision making in simultanagnosia. The BPT is made freely available to facilitate its broad application in the clinical assessment of patients with visual impairment and to enable a further evaluation of its utility and validity in future studies
The Correct Interpretation Premise in International Adjudication
No full textAn oft-repeated aphorism is that interpretation cannot be reduced to a simple mechanical formula like 1+1=2. Such a statement is delightfully ironic if one considers that Russel and Whitehead devoted more than 300 pages, across two volumes of Principia Mathematica, to prove this 'simple formula'. The aim of this contribution is to examine whether international adjudication functions on the premise of the 'correct interpretation', and whether there are any structural features of the international legal system and of its interpretative rules that bar 'correct interpretation'. The objections to 'correct interpretation' revolve around three main axes: (i) incompleteness of the law, i.e., that 'law runs out'; (ii) that there are and cannot be any rules of interpretation; and (iii) that in order to differentiate between multiple interpretations judges would have to resort to non-legal considerations/tools. Section 2 examines whether there are any systemic issues that are either prohibitive of or facilitative to 'correct interpretation'. This is followed by an examination of the integration/incorporation of prima facie non-legal elements or tools in the interpretative process, especially in the context of evolutive interpretation and the existence of limits of interpretation (Section 3). Section 4 presents the International Law Commission's approach to 'correct interpretation' during the debate on the rules on interpretation of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. Section 5 tackles the issue of 'permissible interpretations' in international adjudication as an alternative to 'correct interpretation'. Finally, Section 6, building on the previous analysis, addresses the three groups of objections and highlights misconceptions regarding the nature and function of interpretation that may account for these objections
Impact of maternal height on birthweight classification in singleton births at term:a cohort study in the Netherlands
No full textObjective: To assess the association between maternal height and birthweight in a healthy population and to study the effect of maternal height on the classification of birthweight as small for gestational age (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA).Methods: A descriptive, observational retrospective study was conducted in a low risk population in the Netherlands. The study included term singleton healthy nonsmoking pregnant women with normal body mass index (n = 9291). We calculated the impact of maternal height on birthweight using multiple linear regression analyses with adjustment for gestational age, gender, and parity. We calculated the number of newborns classified as SGA and LGA using the cutoff point of the Dutch Birthweight chart, which does not customize for maternal height. Subsequently, we calculated the changes in classification from SGA and LGA to appropriate for gestational age (AGA) in case of customization for maternal height.Results: A significant association was found between maternal height and birthweight; 15.0 g higher birthweight per extra cm maternal height (95% confidence interval 13.8–16.1; p<.001; R 2 model = 0.28). The incidence of SGA was 7.1% (range 17.4–2.0% form shortest to tallest maternal height category) and of LGA 8.4% (range 1.9–21.5% from shortest to tallest maternal height category). We calculated a shift in classification: 114 newborns (17.3%) in shorter (<167 cm) women previously SGA and 165 newborns (21.1%) in taller (>173 cm) women previously LGA were classified as AGA when controlling for maternal height.Conclusions: Maternal height is significantly associated with birthweight. Birthweight charts customized for maternal height change classification in one out of six SGA or LGA newborns at term.</p
