O presente artigo propõe uma reflexão a respeito da natureza das categorias de análise empregadas para avaliação da espiritualidade pentecostal. Com pouco mais de cem anos, o movimento pentecostal mostra força e se expande de forma significativa no mundo, animado por uma espiritualidade vibrante. Porém, procuramos mostrar como abordagens racionalistas, que priorizem a dimensão intelectual dos fiéis, falha em reconhecer a peculiaridade dessa forma de espiritualidade cristã, por operarem com uma imagem antropológica limitada e altamente intelectualizada. Em contraposição, propomos que uma abordagem que faça jus à natureza singular desse fenômeno precisa fundamentar-se em categorias mais holísticas, ou seja, em categorias que reconheçam a validade epistêmica de outras dimensões da pessoa humana enquanto fundamentais para a experiência de habitar o mundo, tais como sensibilidades e saberes afetivos. Por fim, pontuamos que a espiritualidade pentecostal tanto exige categorias mais holísticas quanto funciona como um caso limite capaz de levantar um sólido questionamento contra pressupostos e categorias racionalistas empregados para avaliação de outras formas de espiritualidade.

Though historically marginalized and first-generation college students aspire to attend college, educational equity gaps remain in transfer and pursuit of graduate degrees of science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine (STEMM). The purpose of this paper is to describe the process and impact of the Educational Modules to Broaden Academic Research Cultures (EMBARC) to leverage students' community cultural wealth (CCW) and address cultural mismatch (CM) - the misalignment between the interdependent values shaped by one's family or culture and the independent values emphasized in Western post-secondary institutions and STEMM fields. Findings from evaluation of the program suggests that leveraging CCW and CM in developing educational modules can contribute to historically marginalized students' education, career and persistence in STEMM. Findings also illustrated that the modules connect students to resources as well as their cultural wealth and ancestral strength.

This column addresses the role of dreams in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy. It includes an autobiographical perspective on how a dream led this psychiatrist to become a psychoanalyst and an introduction to social dreaming.

To pilot test the COMmunity of Practice And Safety Support for Navigating Pain (COMPASS-NP) intervention for home care workers experiencing chronic pain. Home care workers with chronic pain participated (n = 19; 2 groups) in a 10-week online group program focused on workplace safety and pain self-management. Primary outcomes were changes in pain interference with work and life. Other outcomes related to ergonomics, pain levels, opioid misuse risk, mental health, sleep, and physical activity. The intervention produced a large reduction in pain interference with life ( d = -0.85) and a moderate reduction in pain interference with work time demands ( d = -0.61). Secondary outcomes showed favorable effect sizes, including a substantial increase in the use of ergonomic tools and techniques ( d = 1.47). Findings were strongly encouraging. The effectiveness of COMPASS-NP will be evaluated in a future randomized controlled trial.

Online collaborative projects in which users contribute to extensive knowledge bases such as Wikipedia or OpenStreetMap have become increasingly popular while yielding highly accurate information.Collaboration in such projects is organized sequentially with one contributor creating an entry and the following contributors deciding whether to adjust or to maintain the presented information.We refer to this process as sequential collaboration since individual judgments directly depend on the previous judgment.As sequential collaboration has not yet been examined systematically, we investigate whether dependent, sequential judgments become increasingly more accurate.Moreover, we test whether final sequential judgments are more accurate than the unweighted average of independent judgments from equally large groups.We conducted three studies with groups of four to six contributors who either answered general knowledge questions (Experiments 1 and 2) or located cities on maps (Experiment 3).As expected, individual judgments became more accurate across the course of sequential chains and final estimates were similarly accurate as unweighted averaging of independent judgments.These results show that sequential collaboration profits from dependent, incremental judgments, thereby shedding light on the contribution process underlying large-scale online collaborative projects.

ABSTRACT Continuing Education (CE) aims to help health professionals fulfill their ethical responsibility of maintaining professional competence. This research compares the CE guidelines and standards of 11 health professional organizations in relation to five domains of evolving professional values: ethics, cultural diversity, social justice, interprofessionalism, and self-care. Results showed that ethics received the greatest attention across the CE standards, followed by interprofessionalism and cultural diversity. This study offers a starting point for CE accreditors to examine the extent to which their CE standards align with their profession’s stipulated values, and to situate themselves within the broader context of health profession accreditors.
