Abstract Drawingvoice 2.0 is an instructional method of collaborative pencil and paper drawing to use in the school classroom, followed by Facebook interaction on the drawing produced in class. It is based on a participatory and meta reflective approach, explicitly aimed at deconstructing, negotiating, and reconstructing the meaning that students attribute to themselves regarding their professional expectations and educational pathways. In particular, the collaborative pencil and paper drawing allows for the student’s emotional symbolisation processes underlying their educational pathway. Drawingvoice 2.0 induces a multidimensional cognitive and meta-cognitive process further supported by the following interaction on Facebook. Therefore, the World Wide Web is the added resource for sharing and deepening the classmates’ discussion. Finally, Drawingvoice 2.0 supported structural group interaction and was an important supportive and instructional method to bring about transformational and developmental training practices. As the main result, in our experience, psychology students increased their reflectivity about their strengths and threats in being psychologists within their cultural contexts and potential positive resources underlying their choice. Drawingvoice 2.0 thus enhanced their self-awareness about the lights and shadows of their training and future professional career.

The world of football arguably brings together and unites people in support of their teams and countries, while inspiring young children and adolescents to dream of a professional career. Existing research in the field has sought to begin to understand what professional footballers experience on their journey through the game. However, much of this UK-based research has focused on first team players and their professional experiences, including transitions from youth team to first team and to retirement. This study, therefore, aimed to examine players during their youth academy scholarship at one English Championship club. This study focused on the transitional experiences of youth players from school to the academy and their resulting embodying of a footballer’s identity. Twelve semi-structured interviews with players aged 17–19, were conducted and then analysed by thematic analysis using figurational sociology concepts. Three different types of transition were identified. Among other reasons, early specialisation in football was a prevalent factor that partly influenced the way the players experienced their transition. The transition into the academy coincided with the transition from youth to adulthood that was arguably anything but linear as players managed the dominant sub-cultures present in the club.

In this article, I describe how the. teaching of psychology at an urban community college has been integrated with other disciplines in coordinated studies programs. These programs are based on a collaborafive-learning model that defines the classroom as a community of learers concerned with the interconnectedness of ideas and events. One such program, The Power of Myth, is described in detail. Students participating in this program reported increased curiosity about the world, improved abilities to work in groups, greater understanding of other cultures, and more self-awareness. Faculty teammates found more satisfaction teaching their subjects in a coordinated context than in isolated classes.

The key problems of nation- and state-building are revealed in the concept of the chronotope of the Ukrainian “long twentieth century,” which is a hybrid projection of the “long nineteenth century.” An essential feature of this stage in the history of Ukraine and Ukrainians is the realization of the intentions of socioeconomic, ethnocultural and political emancipation: in fact, the end of the Ukrainian revolution, which began in the context of World War I and the destruction of the colonial system. The third book tells about the contradictions of post-Soviet transit. The three modern revolutions, the development of “oligarchic republics,” the subjectivization of Ukraine in the world through self-awareness of the European choice are visible manifestations of the final stage of the century-old Ukrainian revolution and anti-colonial liberation war. The essential transformations of the Ukrainian project are understood in the broad optics of post-totalitarian transit, the successful completion of which now rules for the national idea of Ukraine. For a wide audience.

The project We Still Have Mutual Friends is a qualitative interview study into women’s experiences with sexualviolence. Through the interview process, mostly face-to-face recorded interviews, I have evaluated multiplefacets of sexual abuse/marginalization and their consequences on survivors. In total, I interviewed thirty-twowomen about their familial background, their adolescence, and depending on their age, their life experienceswith their sexuality. Some of the facets I have focused on are the disparity between a subject’s definition andtheir experience of sexual assault. I have also evaluated their self-awareness of this disparity, and why they thinkit occurs. I tried as much as I could, to ask questions in an order/way that did not create preferential answering.Because these interviews followed a standard oral history format of open-ended questions with follow-ups basedon the interviewee’s answers, instances of leading answers were possible. Seventeen out of thirty-two womenwere white, with the next largest group being Hispanic, and then Black. With ages ranging from eighteen upto fifty-eight, several generational voices are accounted for. While there were certain trends found within typesof assault, and who it was (trends not entirely new to us), one thing I discovered is a similar background everyperson shared with their family. All the women had at some point experienced some sort of “body policing.” Ihope this project has provided a more holistic view into the world of sexual violence that women face.

The concept of “conscience” is one of the oldest components in the axiosphere and the central factor in the moral self-awareness of the individual. This phenomenon is closely related to the features of a person’s existential position in the world. The study presents an associative model of the concept of “conscience” in the biblical cultural discourse. The semantic components of the concept are determined and its biblical meanings are considered.

This paper uses F.W.J. Schelling’s Naturphilsophie as a point of departure to theorize the concept of digital labour. Beginning with Marx’s distinction between fulfilling and unfulfilling labour, it is argued that the former is labour that is immanent to, and in line with, the Schellingian notion of Nature as process and ungrounded ground, while the unfulfilling variant externalizes Nature and attempts to use it against itself in the service of capital, and the establishment of what I call a state-of-power. Schelling’s The Ages of the World is re-interpreted by exchanging his version of immaterial spirituality for digital virtuality, and as a result, digital labour is viewed as a consequence of previous forms of world historical developments. While digital virtuality is in fact materialist in terms of both the labour that activates it, and the substrate that sustains it, the materiality of the digital is often overlooked in favour of an anti-materialist stance that works to disconnect the digital labourer from their online activity, and preclude the critical self-awareness necessary for the acknowledgement of their online “playful” activity as work. It ends with an analysis of Mark Zuckerberg’s ideational attempt to “re-wire” the world via Facebook’s digital infrastructure, which begins to set the conditions of possibility for inter-personal interaction, and explores the possibilities for resistance available in Foucault’s notion of the care of the self.

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 2% of the population all over the world. Comorbidities of PsO have increasingly garnered more interest in the past decades. Compared with the normal population, the incidences of comorbidities are higher among patients with PsO. In the last 20 years, researchers have focused on studying the genetic components of PsO, and genetic associations between PsO and its comorbidities were elucidated. This review provides an in-depth understanding and summarization of the connection between PsO and its comorbidities from the perspectives of epidemiology and genetics. Further understanding of PsO and its comorbidities will promote research on the pathogenesis, drug development, novel therapy methods, and personalized and precision treatment of PsO and its comorbidities.

Num contexto de crise da modernidade, novos desafios se impõem – a nova racionalidade, o mundo da insignificância e o pluralismo cultural e religioso, com implicações para a semântica e a sintática da teologia. Ainda que tenham adquirido amplitude mundial, nem por isso se manifestam com a mesma intensidade e da mesma maneira em âmbito local. No âmbito da semântica da teologia, os novos desafios obrigam a um alargamento do conceito de teologia, a uma relação inter e transdisciplinar com as demais ciências, a ser uma prática teórica relevante para os pobres e a autocompreender-se desde a pluriculturalidade e a plurirreligiosidade. No âmbito da sintática da teologia, os novos desafios exigem um novo paradigma teológico, que permita integrar em seu discurso as novas perguntas emergentes, no horizonte de uma ‘terceira ilustração’, que tem no pluralismo, não um ponto de partida, mas um pressuposto.ABSTRACT: In the crisis context of modernity, new challenges are imposed – the new rationality, the world of insignificance and the cultural and religious pluralism, with implications for the semantic and the syntactic dimensions of theology. Although these challenges have acquired world amplitude, they are not so evident with the same intensity and in the same manner at the local level. In the semantic scope of theology, the new challenges compel a widening of the concept of theology to an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary relation with other sciences to be a theoretically relevant practice for the poor and to self awareness from the multicultural and multireligious dimensions. In the syntactic scope of theology, the new challenges require a new theological paradigm that allows the integration of new emerging questions in its discourse, on the horizon of a ‘third illustration’, that has in pluralism, not a point of departure but rather a presupposition.

The purpose of this column is to promote the use of focused breathing and singing as access points to improved student self-awareness in the general music classroom. Singing is a holistic activity with the healing potential to improve and transform many traumatic life experiences endured by our students. Similarly, mindfulness breathwork is a holistic approach used to enhance self-awareness in the moment and can reduce anxiety. Both pursuits have the potential to help students overcome difficulties of fear, stress, and anxiety. Both practices expose participants to new ways of understanding themselves and the world around them while creating important access points to mindfulness and self-awareness.

Various medical and technological organizations are working on the development of unconventional solutions such as therapy and assistance for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Different organizations, researchers and educators have been involved in the study and realization of virtual reality (VR) solutions to be used as therapy, training, and support for these individuals. Previous researches and experiments showed that it is possible to ameliorate the level of concentration, coordination, socialization, communication, self-awareness, and memory in school children treated with these tools. VR environments may offer a total physical involvement of the ASDs that may see the world through virtual immersion and active practice. This chapter presents a way of rethinking teaching and learning.
