    Resilience in Pontifical Doctrines : From Pope Benedict XVI to Pope Francis

    Get PDF
    This study explores the concept of resilience within the teachings of Popes Benedict XVI and Francis, comparing these with established psychological resilience theories by Ungar and Holling. Through a comprehensive analysis of documents sourced from the Vatican’s official website, resilience is examined across individual, community, and global dimensions. Individual resilience emphasizes spiritual resources such as faith and hope, which Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis underscore as essential for overcoming personal and societal crises. Community resilience is highlighted in the context of solidarity, cooperation, and cultural identity, as demonstrated in responses to natural disasters and sociopolitical challenges. At a global level, Pope Francis advocates ecological sustainability and systemic justice, tying resilience to shared responsibilities and global solidarity. Methods include textual frequency analysis and semantic mapping of resilience-related terms within papal documents, complemented by a comparative analysis with psychological resilience frameworks. Findings reveal unique contributions of papal teachings, such as the integration of spiritual, moral, and ecological dimensions, which expand traditional resilience concepts. This theological lens adds normative and prescriptive elements, offering transformative perspectives for resilience studies, emphasizing faith, values, and sustainability as pivotal components for enduring and thriving amidst adversity. Limitations of data mining methods suggest potential for further interdisciplinary research

    Factors influencing student interest in STEM careers: motivational, cognitive, and socioeconomic status

    Get PDF
    There is a disparity between the number of graduates and the demand for professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related fields globally. This gap underscores the importance of understanding and addressing the factors that drive student interest in the STEM career. Consequently, the education sector around the world is increasingly focused on identifying and improving these influencing factors to better align educational outcomes with the needs of the STEM industry. Thus, this study examined the cognitive (mathematics knowledge, science knowledge, and academic achievement), motivational (self-efficacy and outcome expectation), and socioeconomic status (parents’ education and family income) factors involved in predicting student interest in pursuing STEM careers. The data were conducted from tests, questionnaires, and documents from grade 10 and 11 students ( n = 738) in Indonesia. In addition, two theoretical models (i.e., Models 1 and 2) were developed and were tested using structural equation modeling. The results showed that both models met the required standards for good fit, but Model 2 fit the data better overall, while Model 1 was only slightly below the ideal range for one measure (RMSEA). We found that motivational and cognitive factors were crucial predictors in shaping student interest in general STEM and STEM discipline–specific fields. A strong indirect effect was found in the relationship between self-efficacy and career interest through the outcome expectation factor, and the indirect effect of mathematics and science knowledge on interest in STEM careers through academic achievement is an important concern. Similar and different factors are discussed in terms of student interest in general STEM-related fields and STEM discipline–specific careers

    The Impact of Social Media Use Motives on Students’ GPA: The Mediating Role of Daily Time Usage

    Get PDF
    The impact of social media use on student academic achievement is complex and varies across studies, likely due to diverse usage motives and mediating factors. This study investigates the mediating role of daily time usage on the relationship between social media use motives and GPA among 301 Vietnamese university students, guided by the uses and gratifications theory. Following a rigorous validation process, we confirmed the applicability of the Social Networking Usage questionnaire within the Vietnamese context. Our findings revealed a complex relationship between social networking motives and GPA. While entertainment motives demonstrated a directly positive influence on GPA, information-seeking motives showed no significant relationship, either directly or indirectly. Critically, our results suggest that daily time spent on social networking acts as a key mediator in the interplay between academic and socialization motives and GPA. Specifically, we observed opposing effects: while academic motives indirectly benefitted GPA, socialization motives negatively impacted GPA. However, these opposing effects were channeled through daily time usage, suggesting that increasing time spent on social networking, regardless of the initial motive, ultimately detracts from academic performance. Our findings suggest that students need to be mindful of how their SNS usage motives influence their time allocation and, consequently, their academic performance. Universities may employ time management training and encourage academic uses of SNSs while advising students to limit non-academic SNS use, particularly during study periods, to minimize distractions and maximize learning time

    How to manage the overwhelming amount of database-detected interactions? A focus group meeting study on the management of database-detected risks of drug interactions

    Get PDF
    Database-assisted screening may help detect the risks of drug interactions, but less than 10% of flagged interactions have clinical manifestations, potentially leading to alert fatigue among healthcare providers. To address this issue, this study aimed to develop a concise framework to support the management of database-indicated interaction risks.A grounded theory approach was used to design, evaluate and develop the framework. Participants included healthcare professionals and laypersons with experience using narrow therapeutic index medications, as well as individuals recommended by them. Two focus group discussions were conducted (N1=6 and N2=5), each lasting approximately 2 hours and following the same agenda. In one case, a follow-up one-on-one interview was held because the participant indicated further insights at the end of the session.Participants identified key decision-making questions for the framework, including the evidence base for interacting drugs, severity and documentation level of the interaction, availability of safer alternatives, and the presence of confounding factors. The framework was considered useful and, following refinement, potentially suitable for clinical implementation. A key insight was that integration into healthcare curricula is essential for achieving long-term impact. Overall, the proposed tool may assist in managing interaction risks in diverse clinical scenarios and reduce alert fatigue among healthcare professionals.Although further clinical validation is needed, the framework provides a foundation for improving the management of database-detected drug interactions

    Novel peptaibiotics identified from Trichoderma clade Viride

    This study focuses on the peptaibiome produced by different species of Trichoderma belonging to clade Viride : T. koningii SZMC 28387 (CBS 979.70), T. cf . strigosellum SZMC 28007 (TUCIM 4886/IQ 191), T. cf . dorothopsis SZMC 28390 (TUCIM 416/TUB F-597), T. cf . strigosellum SZMC 28391 (TUCIM 423/DAOM 230018), T. atroviride SZMC 28748 (IMI 206040), T. hamatum SZMC 28747 (TUCIM 2730) and T. cf . dorothopsis SZMC 28005 (TUCIM 4882/IQ 11). We were able to identify new compounds with similarity to already known groups of peptaibiotics, as well as completely newly discovered compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) -mass spectrometry (MS). From the 367 peptaibiotics identified, 216 are peptaibols and 111 are lipopeptaibols. Out of all peptaibols, 55 are previously known, while 161 are newly discovered. The new peptaibol subgroups Strigosellin A, B and Dorothopsin A, B are introduced. Furthermore, besides 38 previously known lipopeptaibols, 73 new lipopeptaibol sequences, named Lipostrigosellins and Lipohamatins are also reported. In addition, 41 peptaibol-like compounds with unusual C-terminus were also found. Out of the 7 strains examined, 5 produced both peptaibols and lipopeptaibols, while 2 only peptaibols. The well-known compound, Trikoningin KA V (TRK-V) also produced by T. koningii SZMC 28387 (CBS 979.70), was studied for its folding dynamics using accelerated molecular dynamics simulations (aMD) for understanding the plausible three-dimensional structures adopted by these peptaibols of clade Viride . We observed a propensity to form kinked, right-handed helical structures when simulated in an aqueous environment
