Teacher education in practice: Reconciling contexts, practices, and theories

This is the author's accepted manuscript. The original publication is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08856257.2013.778114.This paper reports findings from an 18-month qualitative study that followed the experiences of nine teacher residents, their site professors, site coordinators, clinical teachers and principals in three professional learning schools. The study examined the tensions that emerged as teacher preparation theory intersected with the context-bound realities of daily life in schools and the political constraints that diminish possibilities for inclusive education. The paper addresses implications for teacher preparation programmes by reporting how teacher residents negotiated their understanding of and commitment for inclusive education through three themes: (a) critical reflection as an emergent practice, (b) whose learning, and (c) the trouble with behaviour. Interpreting these themes has implications for programmatic designs in teacher preparation

Policies and gender in Argentina: contributions from anthropology and feminism

Las políticas públicas, herramienta de poder indispensable para el ejercicio de gobierno de la población, definen “problemas” y “poblaciones” como objetos de intervención. Tales políticas se presentan como producto de un conocimiento experto y técnico que, por lo mismo, se coloca por encima y por fuera de la sociedad, que lo asume neutral, objetivo. Desde allí, el colectivo “mujeres” aparece en la agenda de políticas públicas, al tiempo que la academia se hace eco de ella. Centrándose en los estudios etnográficos volcados a las políticas y la vida cotidiana, los estudios culturales, los estudios post-coloniales y el feminismo crítico, este artículo analiza los aportes de la antropología para abordar las diversas formas y sentidos de las actuales políticas públicas, con la intención de (re)conocer los modos en que ellas organizan, producen y reproducen lo que se entiende por femenino y masculino. Simultáneamente, interesa desnaturalizar la construcción de subjetividades homogéneas –generizadas y sexuadas– atendiendo a las diversas modalidades de acción, demandas y resistencias a través de las cuales los sujetos se definen y redefinen a sí mismos, y que los revela transformadores de las políticas.Public policies are an indispensable tool for the exercise of power through government of population. These policies define both "problems" and "populations" as objects of intervention. They are stated as a product of a technical expertise, placed above and outside society, and, therefore, assumed as neutral and objective. This same logic enables the group "women" on the public policies agenda, generating various responses from the academic realm. Taking into account ethnographic studies focused on policies and everyday life, cultural studies, post-colonial studies and critical feminism, this article analyzes the contributions of anthropology to address the various forms and meanings of existing policies. By this it is intended to (re)cognize the ways in which these policies organize, produce and reproduce what is meant by female and male. As well as de-naturalizing the construction of homogeneous subjectivities - gendered and sexed- by focusing on the various modes of action, demands and resistance through which individuals define and redefine themselves, and which reveal them as transforming these same policies.Fil: del Rio Fortuna, Cynthia Anahi.

Seeing the random forest through the decision trees. Supporting learning health systems from histopathology with machine learning models: Challenges and opportunities

This paper discusses some overlooked challenges faced when working with machine learning models for histopathology and presents a novel opportunity to support "Learning Health Systems" with them. Initially, the authors elaborate on these challenges after separating them according to their mitigation strategies: those that need innovative approaches, time, or future technological capabilities and those that require a conceptual reappraisal from a critical perspective. Then, a novel opportunity to support "Learning Health Systems" by integrating hidden information extracted by ML models from digitalized histopathology slides with other healthcare big data is presented

Performance of externally validated machine learning models based on histopathology images for the diagnosis, classification, prognosis, or treatment outcome prediction in female breast cancer: A systematic review

Numerous machine learning (ML) models have been developed for breast cancer using various types of data. Successful external validation (EV) of ML models is important evidence of their generalizability. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the performance of externally validated ML models based on histopathology images for diagnosis, classification, prognosis, or treatment outcome prediction in female breast cancer. A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, IEEE, MICCAI, and SPIE conferences was performed for studies published between January 2010 and February 2022. The Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) was employed, and the results were narratively described. Of the 2011 non-duplicated citations, 8 journal articles and 2 conference proceedings met inclusion criteria. Three studies externally validated ML models for diagnosis, 4 for classification, 2 for prognosis, and 1 for both classification and prognosis. Most studies used Convolutional Neural Networks and one used logistic regression algorithms. For diagnostic/classification models, the most common performance metrics reported in the EV were accuracy and area under the curve, which were greater than 87% and 90%, respectively, using pathologists' annotations as ground truth. The hazard ratios in the EV of prognostic ML models were between 1.7 (95% CI, 1.2-2.6) and 1.8 (95% CI, 1.3-2.7) to predict distant disease-free survival; 1.91 (95% CI, 1.11-3.29) for recurrence, and between 0.09 (95% CI, 0.01-0.70) and 0.65 (95% CI, 0.43-0.98) for overall survival, using clinical data as ground truth. Despite EV being an important step before the clinical application of a ML model, it hasn't been performed routinely. The large variability in the training/validation datasets, methods, performance metrics, and reported information limited the comparison of the models and the analysis of their results (...
