Re-envisioning society: the radicalization of the student youth movement in Mexico during the 1960s

Utilizing documents from student organizations including strike committees, the National Center For Democratic Students, and the writings of young activists, official commentary, and press releases, this study provides a detailed examination of the student movement in Mexico during the 1960s. Within the historiography of the student youth movement studies tend to focus exclusively on 1968 and the movement\u27s position within the global counterculture. The product of this history is the proliferation of a homogenous understanding of the concerns mobilizing youth activists. This study however, attempts to advance previous historiography by expanding the scope of the student movement to include more broadly the 1960s. This allows for a greater understanding of the forces that radicalized students, illustrating that student activism was driven by educational, economic, social, and political concerns, including access to jobs and social mobility, demands for social welfare, and the creation of more equitable and democratic society. This gained understanding further challenges histories centered on delineating the movement as purely cultural or purely a political movement. Rather, when examining the diverse concerns radicalizing students, this study illustrates the interconnection between both political and cultural characteristics of youth activism

A Retrospective Survey Of Joint Mobilization Utilization During Clinical Internship Of Silliman University Physical Therapy Alumni

Introduction: Physical therapy interns of Silliman University reported limited exposure to the application of joint mobilization techniques during their clinical internship training program. The study aimed to determine whether joint mobilization is utilized in physical therapy internships, including the barriers and challenges affecting its use. The study described (1) the interns\u27 self-reported knowledge and awareness of the benefits, principles, type, and indications of joint mobilization, (2) the use of joint mobilization with regards to practice settings and locations, (3) the interns\u27 self-assessment of competency to perform joint mobilization techniques after graduation, and (4) the barriers to increased utilization during clinical practice. Methods: Data were collected from PT graduates of cohorts 2018, 2019, and 2020 to gather information relevant to the study\u27s objectives, and 96 responded to the survey. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and thematic methods were used to calculate and analyze the results. Results: The study showed that most interns understood and reported knowledge of the principles, benefits, types, and indications of joint mobilization. It was found that most joint mobilization techniques were applied in the outpatient setting compared to inpatient and home health settings during the physical therapy internship. Additionally, its utilization was high in Manila, followed by Negros Oriental, Bacolod, and the lowest in Cebu. The results showed that self-reported competencies were under entry-level expectations upon graduation, with the greatest competency on the shoulder and the least on the spine. Lastly, barriers to application suggested limited exposure of interns to perform the techniques due to the lack of physician orders. Other reasons included lack of opportunity to apply techniques, lack of clinical instructor guidance, low self-confidence, lack of practice opportunities before internship, and the belief that certification is needed to perform joint mobilization. Discussion: The data suggested that although interns understand the principles, benefits, types, and indications of joint mobilization, variation in internship experience, lack of self-reported competencies, and limitations in its utilization due to barriers exist

A Longitudinal Model of Perspective Making and Perspective Taking Within Fluid Online Collectives

Although considerable research has investigated perspective making and perspective taking processes in existing communities of practice, little research has explored how these processes are manifest in fluid online collectives. Fluid collectives do not share common emotional bonds, shared languages, mental models, or clearly defined boundaries that are common in communities of practices and that aid in the perspective development process. This paper conducts a retrospective case study of a revelatory online collective – the autism article on Wikipedia – to explore how the collective develops a perspective over time with a fluid group of diverse participants surrounding a highly contentious issue. We find that the collective develops a perspective over time through three archetypical challenges – chaotic perspective taking, perspective shaping, and perspective defending. Using this data, we develop a longitudinal model of perspective development. The theoretical implications are discussed and a set of propositions are developed for testing in more generalized settings

Recent Dissertations on Service and Service-Learning Topics

Rumor has it that there is very little research on service and service-leaming. A brief literature review of dissertations from 1990 onward revealed that over 110 studies have been completed on service and related topics. So much for the rumor! Our intent in performing this literature review is to identify academic studies that have been completed in the past several years on issues related to service-learning. Covering a variety of interest areas and related topics, the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse is initially interested in identifying studies that add to the knowledge base on service-learning. The collection of titles, authors, and abstract summaries presented here is designed simply to inform the field of the number and diversity of studies available. We make no claims about the accuracy, integrity, value or strength of each work. That decision is left to the reader. We provide only information about the studies and where and how they can be obtained. We encourage you to seek out the researchers identified and to contact them for more information about the nature and content of the studies. We anticipate that this compilation will be the first of several volumes on current dissertation work in American universities. We expect in future publications to actually review the material and make critical comments about the value of the contributions to the field of service-learning. We hope that by publishing this work we will encourage others who have completed studies or are designing and implementing dissertation research to contact us and share their projects with the Clearinghouse. We will do our best to make sure this information is circulated among and between service-learning professionals. As you review this document, please feel free to send your comments to the Clearinghouse or discuss the work on our listserv. Access to our website, listserv and the 800 number to the Clearinghouse are listed on the cover of this document. Your feedback will help us determine what materials to include in future editions

Nasolabial Fold Dynamics: Implications for Facial Paralysis and Facial Reanimation Surgery

ObjectivesIn patients with facial paralysis, facial reanimation surgery may be needed to normalize facial soft tissue function/movements. Critical for this normalization is the dynamics of the nasolabial folds (NLFs). The objective of this prospective, observational study was to determine the 3D morphologic dynamics of the NLFs in patients with unilateral facial palsy and normal subjects.Settings and Sample Population3D facial soft tissue movement data collected from adults with unilateral, facial paralysis (Bell's Palsy, n=36); and (2) an age‐ and sex‐frequency matched control group (n=68).Materials and MethodsMovement data were collected during repeated animations from participants using a video‐based motion capture system. Movement in terms of displacement and asymmetry of the NLFs, nasal, and circumoral regions were analyzed in the lateral, vertical and depth planes; as well as movement of the commissure and NLFs relative to the lower lip midline. Two sample t tests were used to test for significant group differences.ResultsPatients NLFs had less mean displacement, greater mean asymmetry, and uncoordinated movements compared with the controls. For both groups during smiling, the NLF and commissure landmarks had approximately similar magnitudes of displacement (control range = 11‐14mm; patient range = 7‐10mm).ConclusionNLF dynamics during smiling were as significant as oral commissure excursion. Thus, an immobile NLF is an unnatural feature of facial animations. Surgical treatments that address impaired NFL movements must be considered to create a more natural surgical outcome especially during smiling.<br/

Making Space, Engaging Students: How One Department Built Outreach into Our Community of Practice

Reed College is a small liberal arts college located in Portland, Oregon. Students work and study on a mostly residential campus and the library has historically been the heart of academic and campus life. This relationship was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic as Reed shifted to online learning and library staff worked remotely. After more than a year, students and library staff returned to campus but other disruptions impacted student use of services and physical library space. A major seismic renovation closed a large section of the library. During this 18-month renovation, almost 40 percent of library seating and assigned desks were unavailable for student use. These major disruptions meant that both incoming and some upper-level students had no established relationship to the library beyond virtual interactions. It became evident there was a need to re-engage and re-energize students’ relationship with all aspects of library spaces and services

The effectiveness of internet-based psychoeducation programs for caregivers of people living with dementia:a systematic review and meta-analysis

OnlinePublObjective: The objectives of this systematic review and meta-analysis were to identify the characteristics of internet-based psychoeducational programs for caregivers of people living with dementia and to synthesise program effectiveness. Method: Five English databases and four Chinese databases were searched in June 2021 with no time limit applied. A narrative summary was performed to describe the characteristics of studies reviewed. Meta-analysis was applied to synthesise the pooled effects where data were available. Results: A total of 14352 articles were identified from the database search and 19 were included in the final review. Interventions comprised educational, psychological, and behavioural training relevant to dementia care. Program duration ranged from 3 weeks to 12 months. Meta-analysis of 13 RCTs showed that internet-based psychoeducational programs had a significant effect on reducing caregivers’ depressive symptoms (SMD −0.19; 95% CI −0.03 − 0.35) and stress (SMD −0.29; 95% CI −0.03 −0.54). However, these programs did not show an effect on quality of life, anxiety, burden or self-efficacy in caregivers. Conclusion: Internet-based psychoeducational programs can improve some aspects of caregivers’ mental health and emotional wellbeing. The effects of programs on self-efficacy, anxiety, burden and quality of life for caregivers remain inconclusive.Ying Yu, Lily Xiao, Shahid Ullah, Claudia Meyer, Jing Wang, Ann Margriet Pot and Jin Jie H
