Este artigo analisa os valores que os universitários, segundo seus próprios pares, consideram importantes para serem felizes. Participaram da pesquisa 161 estudantes do 1º ano de Psicologia de uma Universidade pública do interior paulista, de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 17 e 21 anos. Os resultados informaram que: a) os sujeitos consideram que o mais importante para ser feliz se relaciona à amizade (52,8%), à riqueza (18,0%) e à saúde física e psíquica (11,2%), isto é, aspectos mais afeitos à dimensão ética e às formas de glória; b) os sujeitos praticamente não mencionaram a esfera pública, manifestando certa visão individualista e ingênua, já que é impossível a concretização destes valores, sem considerar os públicos; c) quanto à amizade, os sujeitos a consideram como uma forma de se adaptar a uma nova realidade, distante dos familiares e/ou por associar o seu estabelecimento com a felicidade; d) a intenção de ter amigos se refere à demanda por ter as mesmas gratificações obtidas na família, como a de apoio emocional, assim, a amizade pretendida não está calcada na reciprocidade, pois o outro é visto apenas como meio para viabilizar a satisfação de interesses pessoais; e) no tocante à saúde, os sujeitos argumentaram que ela é condição vital para se obter a felicidade; f) de maneira semelhante, manifestaram justificativas quanto à riqueza, isto é, embora não seja condição suficiente, é necessária para concretizar os desejos que podem torná-los felizes. Foi possível concluir que fatores materiais (riqueza) e ligados ao estabelecimento de relações interpessoais são os aspectos julgados necessários para se alcançar a felicidade. Palavras-chave: Felicidade.

The subjects of the research were 161 undergraduates of both sexes, aged 17 to 21 years, of the first year of the psychology major of a public university in the interior of Sao Paulo state. Results indicated that: (a) the subjects consider that the most important to be happy is friendship (52.8%), wealth (18.0%), and physical and mental health (11.2%), that is, aspects more related to the ethical dimension and forms of glory; (b) most subjects did not mention the public sphere, and thus manifested a certain individualistic and naive view, since it is impossible to achieve these values without considering the public ones; (c) as for friendship, the subjects consider it a way to adapt to a new reality, far from their families,  and/or associate its establishment with happiness; (d) the intention to have friends refers to a demand for the same gratification obtained in their families, such as emotional support, and thus the desired friendship is not grounded in reciprocity, because the other is seen only as a means to enable the satisfaction of personal interests; (e) regarding  health, the subjects argued that it is a vital condition to obtain happiness; (f) as for wealth, they expressed similar justifications, that is, although wealth is not sufficient, it is necessary to achieve the desires that can make them happy. It was possible to conclude that material factors (wealth) and factors linked to the establishment of interpersonal relationships are the ones deemed necessary for happiness. Keywords: Happiness; university students; values.

A recent development in Malaysia was the unprecedented rise in young Malaysians’ participation in the country’s social and political affairs, facilitated almost entirely by the Internet. This phenomenon caught many by surprise considering that university students in the country had been barred through legislation from active involvement in political activities for more than 30 years. Through a survey of 514 university students in a Malaysian public university, supplemented by interview data and samples of students’ writing, this study investigated in which ways Malaysian tertiary students are participating in the public sphere through the Internet. Following Hauser’s (1999) conception of public discourse as personal, interactive, informal, and distributed voices among the citizenry, we argue for a perspective that explains how online interactions in the friendship frame among young people represent their participation in the public sphere in the context of contemporary society.

Module Development

This study is a needs analysis that aims to develop a psychosocial module based on a psychoeducation approach in order to strengthen the assertiveness, social skills, and psychological well-being of public university students in Malaysia. The specific objectives of this study were to identify the perceptions of university students on the need to design and build a psychosocial module, identify the constructs that should be included in the phase of designing and building of the psychosocial module as well as the support that has been received and the support that the students desire while on campus. This survey study utilized a questionnaire distributed to a total of 286 first year students studying at three public universities in Malaysia. The data obtained were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study showed a highly positive response from the students toward the development of a psychosocial module and the constructs listed in the questionnaire. Implications from this study can further solidify the constructs that should be included in the design and construction of the psychosocial module as well as identify the availability of the approaches, strategies, and support activities that have been received and desired by the students.

Este artigo procura elucidar o debate que se constituiu pela imprensa ao longo das décadas de 1870 e 1880 nas províncias brasileiras da Paraíba e de Pernambuco em torno do modelo francês de monarquia parlamentar que contrastava com o federalismo republicano dos EUA. Assumindo o lugar de formadora da opinião pública a imprensa procurou trazer destaque para a questão do Espaço Público na medida em que modos distintos de se lidar com ele estavam em jogo em cada um daqueles modelos políticos internacionais idealizados. Também foram mapeadas algumas relações que os jornais analisados indiciaram entre os debates sobre o Espaço Público e as retóricas de modernidade que os acompanhavam. Com frequência a questão da ciência e da técnica pareceu eclipsar a dimensão do conflito que é próprio do universo político e da esfera pública, unificando os olhares em torno de um deslumbramento com as benfeitorias materiais que o século prometia.Palavras chave: Espaço Público, Formação, Imprensa. AbstractThis article seeks to elucidate the debate that was constituted by the press throughout the 1870s and 1880s in the Brazilian provinces of Paraíba and Pernambuco around the French model of parliamentary monarchy that contrasted with the republicanism of the USA. Taking over the role of public opinion maker, the press sought to highlight the issue of the Public Space since that distinct ways of dealing with it was considered in each of those idealized international political models. This article also mapped some relations that the newspapers analyzed betrayed between the debates on the Public Space and the rhetoric of modernity that accompanied them. Often the question of science and technique seemed to eclipse the dimension of conflict that is proper to the political universe and the public sphere, unifying the glances around a dazzle with the material improvements that the century promised.Keywords: Public Space, Formation, Press.  ResumenEste artículo busca esclarecer el debate que se constituyó por la prensa a lo largo de las décadas de 1870 y 1880 en las provincias brasileñas de Paraíba y de Pernambuco en torno al modelo francés de monarquía parlamentaria que contrastaba con el federalismo republicano de EUA.

From many disciplines come the calls for academic researchers and specialists to seek a greater participation in the public sphere. In a mass mediated age, these calls imply a greater participation with mass media sources and operatives. Many of us have had considerable experience with mass media, and the problems and limitations of these relationships are described. More effective strategies for making a public impact are described. These involve making passionate commitments of local organizations and groups, and working with them over many decades, to progressively develop trusting interpersonal relationships with their members, and increasing levels of trust and responsibility.

IntroductionEmpathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing. It is an important quality in the medical profession, since it is fundamental in interpersonal relationships with patients. Nevertheless, many studies have found that over time medical students (MS) become less empathic and more detached from patients.Objectives and aimsTo determine MS loss of empathy and to study the differences in empathy between MS and other university students who are not involved in healthcare.MethodsWe enrolled 244 MS (120 of the 1st year and 124 of the last year) and 125 other university students not involved in healthcare, in different universities in Rome and Foggia (Italy). They anonymously and voluntarily completed a socio-demographic questionnaire and Baron Cohen's empathy quotient test (EQ).ResultsWe found no differences regarding EQ total score between MS and other students, however there are few differences considering individual EQ items. In particular, MS really like taking care of others (P = 0.005) and they are sometimes considered to be rude, even if only they are only blunt (P = 0.006). We found no differences in empathy between first year and last year MS.ConclusionsIn our sample of Italian students, we have not found MS to be more or less empathetic than other university students, but there are some peculiar differences in empathy that make them better suited to the chosen course of study. Moreover, we found no differences between the different years of medical school.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Wernher von Braun and Mikhail Tikhonravov had the nature of their scientific roles shown through their connections to popular science media in the countries where they worked during the 1950s. Von Braun’s background was reflected through the edutainment of three Disneyland episodes, and Tikhonravov was unique in his association with Soviet popular science magazines. Their personal interests in relation to their work could also be shown through their interactions with the public sphere.

La sociedad occidental ha consolidado un modelo capitalista de hiperconsumo. En el ámbito público, esta política ha cambiado el paisaje de las grandes ciudades, con pocas zonas verdes o de recreo, donde los ciudadanos puedan vivir sin tener que consumir. Como respuesta, algunas comunidades vecinales han creado nuevos espacios. En Madrid, España, destacan dos iniciativas en los barrios de La Latina (Campo de Cebada) y Lavapiés (Ésta es una plaza). Dentro de un Proyecto de Innovación y Mejora de la Calidad Docente, hemos analizado estas iniciativas con estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. El objetivo es conocer el artivismo como herramienta de transformación política y establecer redes creativas y colaborativas para su mejor desarrollo académico y personal.Occidental society has established a capitalist model of overconsumption. In the public sphere, this policy has changed the landscape of big cities, with very few green or recreation areas, where citizens can live without having to consume. In response, some neighbourhood communities have created new spaces. In Madrid, Spain, there are two initiatives in the neighbourhoods of La Latina (Campo de Cebada) and Lavapiés (Ésta es una plaza). Within a Project of Innovation and Improvement of Teaching Quality, we have discussed these initiatives with university students from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. The goal is to know the artivism as a tool of political transformation and to establish creative and collaborative networks for better academic and personal development.

The 1998 Crawford, Gordon, Nicholas, and Prosser Conceptions of Mathematics scale was administered to 156 first-year university students at a large public university in the midwestern United States. The scale represented fragmented and cohesive conceptions of mathematics. The reliability estimated as internal consistency had a Cronbach alpha of .80 for the fragmented scale and .87 for the cohesive scale. Factor analysis of the intercorrelations indicated the same two factors of fragmented and cohesive as in the original and other replicating studies. Students' conceptions of mathematics in this study were comparable to those reported in the original study.
