Fostering Humanism in Surgery

Fostering Humanism in Surgery

Springer International Publishing AG
2025
sidottu
This book offers an examination of the importance of humanism in surgical education and practice. As technology is increasingly dictating the way of being and doing in medicine, there is an urgent need to re-consider what medical humanism can offer to sustain the professional identity of surgeons and contribute to the training of future surgeons. Bioethics, usually considered as major source for the professional identity of surgeons, is ill-suited for such a task as it has produced a process of moral reasoning that is less interested in questions of personal and professional identity and more devoted to principles of obligation concerning right actions and pragmatic considerations that optimize outcomes. Fostering Humanism in Surgical Practice provides an intellectually robust medical ethics beyond bioethics and a vision of medicine qua surgery, medical professionalism, and medical humanism re-oriented toward the promotion of character development, compassionate care, and human flourishing for both patients and surgeons. This volume will be targeted at a wide scholarly audience including researchers from medicine, philosophy (of medicine), the humanities, philosophy of technology, medical anthropology, information robotics, medical engineering, law and others. This text can be used in introductory or advanced courses in the philosophy of medicine, science and technology studies, and philosophy of technology.

Fostering Teachers' Mental Health

Fostering Teachers' Mental Health

Valeria Cavioni

Springer International Publishing AG
2025
sidottu
This book discusses teachers’ mental health applying a whole-school approach. Addressing the current teacher recruitment and retention crisis that many countries in Europe are facing, the author discusses the stressors and challenges teachers experience regarding workload, behavioural management and engagement concerns, managing parental expectations, governance issues from governmental agencies, and access to appropriate mental health resources to mitigate some of these. A timely resource, this book explores protective factors for educators' psychological well-being, such as teachers' social and emotional competencies, as well as contextual determinants like the quality of staff relationships, teacher-student relationship, school climate, and school belonging. Its scope extends to practical applications of large-scale European school-based projects in this area, providing readers with evidence-based examples of successful mental health initiatives. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, the book equips educators, researchers, and policymakers with the knowledge and tools to effectively address and enhance teachers’ mental health and well-being.

Fostering Arid Lands Agriculture in the Face of Climate Change

Fostering Arid Lands Agriculture in the Face of Climate Change

Springer International Publishing AG
2025
sidottu
This book is the result of a collaborative effort among internationally renowned multidisciplinary scientists who recognize that arid lands are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. These impacts are expected to significantly affect the productive capacity of arid regions, thereby posing challenges to food security. Furthermore, the contributors acknowledge that under current conditions and the prevailing pace of progress, achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2) of ending hunger by 2030 will be highly challenging. In response to these pressing issues, the editors took the initiative to invite distinguished scientists to contribute manuscripts that compile the latest knowledge on multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral aspects of climate change impacts on food security, with a focus on countries in arid regions. The information presented in this book is intended to benefit a wide range of global stakeholders—including students, farmers, researchers, extension workers, and policymakers—by supporting the development of strategies to mitigate climate change impacts and adopt science-based adaptation practices. These efforts are critical to enhancing the resilience of arid lands and advancing progress toward SDG 2. The book is organized into five sections covering key topics: natural resources management and governance, agriculture and food security, mitigation and adaptation synergies, poultry and aquaculture, and agricultural pests and soil microbial populations. This comprehensive compilation serves as a unique scientific resource, providing up-to-date information on the global challenges faced by arid lands in the context of climate change, along with strategies for mitigation and adaptation to ensure food security.

Fostering Language Teaching Efficiency through Cognitive Linguistics

Fostering Language Teaching Efficiency through Cognitive Linguistics

De Gruyter Mouton
2010
sidottu
In contexts of instructed second language acquisition there is a need for teaching methods that are optimally efficient, i.e. teaching interventions that generate a maximal return on learners' and teachers' investment of time and effort. In the past couple of decades, many researchers have argued that insights from Cognitive Linguistics (CL) - when suitably translated for pedagogical purposes - can make a major contribution to fostering such language teaching efficiency. This collective volume assesses and supplements those CL proposals. The first part of the book positions CL-inspired language pedagogy vis-à-vis recent trends in mainstream applied linguistics and illustrates through several case studies that language-focused instruction (including CL-inspired instruction) is a useful - if not indispensable - complement to learner-autonomous, incidental acquisition. The second part demonstrates how CL research can help pedagogues identify hitherto neglected language elements that merit explicit targeting in second language instruction. The third part consists of contributions that put the pedagogical efficiency of several CL-inspired interventions to the test in classroom experiments. Additions to the currently available armoury of teaching methods are proposed. The kinds of target language items under examination in the book range from single words over multiword units to grammar patterns. Throughout, the volume illustrates how much pedagogy-oriented Cognitive Linguistics has matured in recent years.

Fostering the Ontological Turn

Fostering the Ontological Turn

De Gruyter
2008
sidottu
Gustav Bergmann (1906-1987) was, arguably, one of the greatest ontologists of the twentieth century. In 2006 and 2007, after a period of relative neglect, international conferences devoted solely to Bergmann's work were held at the University of Iowa in the USA, Université de Provence in France, and Università degli Studi di Roma Tre in Italy. The fifteen papers collected in this volume were presented at the third of these conferences, in Rome, and are here divided into three sections: "Categories of a realistic ontology", "World, mind, and relations", "Metaphysics of space and time".

Fostering a Climate of Inclusion in the College Classroom

Lavonna L. Lovern

Springer International Publishing AG
2018
sidottu
This book examines inclusion teaching at the college and university level. It establishes the importance of the Humanities disciplines and the use of qualitative analysis as a means of understanding and encouraging democratic materials and classroom organization. The first section of the text provides two primers for those unfamiliar with pedagogical history and theory. These primers are designed to give basic information and sources for additional study. They trace pedagogical influences from foundationism, neoliberalism, conflict, and critical theories to critical race theory, Red pedagogy, and decolonization theories. The second half of the book focuses on strategies to assist those attempting classroom inclusion. These chapters are designed to assist with practical ways in which inclusion can be advanced as well as strategies to assist junior faculty in the navigation of the politics of inclusive education.
