This article examines how freedom of speech is framed in the media controversy surrounding the Australian rugby player Israel Folau’s April 2019 Instagram post. A content analysis and framing analysis of newspaper reportage reveals that the controversy has been largely discussed in terms of whether or not Folau’s speech was being curtailed and whether this curtailing indicates a broader, ideologically motivated censoriousness. This discussion is problematic in that it says little about the actual substance of Folau’s post. This article argues that debates surrounding freedom of speech such as the one involving Folau could and should be enriched by an engagement with ethical principles. This engagement is premised on a commitment to the free exchange of views, while acknowledging that ‘speech’ is not always inherently beneficial for democracy, nor worth defending.

To study the prevalence and nature of psychological preparation for pediatric care, children's hospitals and acute care general hospitals were surveyed, and 24 hospitals were visited. Of 1,427 hospitals responding, 468 (33%) provided regular, planned preparation services. Prior to hospitalization, group tours and group discussion were the two most frequently used methods. During hospitalization, children learned informally as events occurred, usually through conversations.

Pedagogical practice preparing future teachers is, undoubtedly, one of the most important elements of university studies. However, up to now pedagogical practice remains a very problematic sphere. Pedagogical activity, on the whole, is complicated, diverse and manifold. After all, it is an activity requiring creativity, high intellect and good psychological preparation. A student doing pedagogical practice, inevitably encounters various hardships -both specialty/professional and psychological. During the practice many different kinds of pedagogical situations are revealed. Various scientific research studies, carried out in the last few years, show the common situation – students-practitioners lack psychological preparation in communication with students, adjusting to a new environment, understanding them and so on. Actually, pedagogical practice theoretical and practical questions were discussed in the international scientific conference which took place between 1- 5 July, 2013 in Yerevan (Armenia). The conference under the theme „Modernization of Continuous Practice and Implementation of Organizational Mechanisms in the Higher Pedagogical Education System“ was organised by Armenian State Pedagogical University named after Khachatur Abovyan.

El objetivo de este artículo de revisión fue examinar y analizar la eficacia de los tipos de preparación psicológica empleados en los últimos ocho años para disminuir el estrés, la ansiedad y otras emociones de los pacientes ante un procedimiento quirúrgico. Método: Se realizó una revisión de literatura sobre la preparación psicológica en diferentes intervenciones quirúrgicas. Se realizó una búsqueda en la base de datos Medline y SCielo, utilizando las palabras clave: «psychological preparation for surgery» «psychological intervention and surgery» y se delimitó la búsqueda con las palabras «clinical trials» y «randomized controlled trial». Los criterios de inclusión fueron: ensayos clínicos controladosaleatorizados con resultados relacionados con la eficacia de la reducción del estrés, ansiedad y otras emociones. Se encontraron 17 ensayos clínicos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión en la base de datos PubMed. En base de datos SciELO solo se encontraron dos estudios. Los datos nos muestran que las tendencias en preparación psicológica se han enfocado más a los procedimientos como la cirugía electiva, cirugía pediátrica, procedimientos con agujas, cirugías de corazón, cirugías para el cáncer y para la cirugía bariátrica. Sin embargo, la perspectiva de estas investigaciones tal vez pudiera centrarse en las enfermedades crónica degenerativas y con más estudios mejorados metodológicamente
