From the Guest Editors: Advocating for Writing and Well-Being

The urgent need for a clear focus on mental health and well-being on university and college campuses became clear, and approaches to address physical, mental, and emotional well-being on campus have become prominent topics in higher education publications such the Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed. For many participants, and certainly for those of us organizing, the conference community became a way to discover innovative ways to approach this new teaching and learning environment and to retain hope in our students, in ourselves, and in the potential power of writing to heal, build, and change. Calls to operationalize socioemotional learning's (SEL) strengths-based approaches have prompted some scholars to propose over the past two decades that there is a "socio-emotional health crisis" in the United States with estimates ranging from 25-50% of high school students engaging in high-risk behaviors. Charles McMartin, Eric A. House, and Thomas Miller describe how culturally-engaged approaches such as hip hop pedagogy can support students' personal well-being and collective wellness as they develop social resilience.

Course Design: WELL 2100: Writing for Wellness

[...]the course supports writing growth through rhetorical practices, a process approach, and authentic audiences, while also asking students to explore and experiment with writing practices to improve their individual wellness. Under the leadership of Chancellor Rebecca Chopp (2014-2019), DU launched a new strategic plan in 2016-IMPACT 2025-which included enhanced attention to global and collaborative learning, community-engaged and cross-disciplinary work, and several capital projects to foster economic growth and neighborhood engagement. Following a two-year process of planning and development by faculty, staff, and administrators from across campus, the University launched this "4D Experience" to support students in four dimensions: advancing intellectual growth, exploring character, pursuing careers and lives of purpose, and cultivating well-being (Hernandez). In this way, the course fits within both the UWP model of writing and the University's minor in wellness that "weaves together many different disciplines, curricula, and facets of experience to promote conscious growth and dynamic balance in life" ("Wellness Minor" 185). [...]after its initial offering through the UWP (as WRIT 2701), the writing course is now officially homed in the wellness minor (as WELL 2100) and cross-listed in the applied writing category of the writing minor.

Right Under Our Noses

Air quality and environmental justice To introduce how socioeconomic status affects the physical aspects of exposure to differing air-quality levels, students used an anthropological technique of comparison to "make the strange familiar and the familiar strange." Students analyzed a New York Times story revealing the air-quality inequities of two teens residing in India: "Who Gets to Breathe Clean Air in New Delhi?" For 25 minutes, students interact with the website and reflect on paper: * One new and interesting fact that they encountered in the article about air quality, * How they think the information might relate to air quality in the United States, and * What, if anything, they think we could do to help increase awareness about these types of environmental disparities. For the next 35 minutes, students search online for articles about air quality and environmental justice in the area near our school's location. The data from real-time air quality index reports are available on every cell phone, and students decided to record it on a calendar to chart in Excel.

The reason why the Organizing Committee decided to change the traditional formula of the event to online formula was related to the concern for the health of the participants due to the COVID-19 epidemic.The XXII Conference of PhD Students and Young Scientists took place from June 29th to July 1st, 2022 in Wroclaw, Poland. That is the organizers worked and managed the event from the Wrocław University of Science and Technology Geocentre building. Because the conference focused on four thematic panels, four different special opening lectures were delivered by wellknown scientists- Professor Jan Zalasiewicz (University of Leicester, England)- Associate Professor Artur Krawczyk (AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland)- Professor Biljana Kovacević-Zelić (University of Zagreb, Croatia)- Assistant Professor Eduard Kan (Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanizations Engineers, Uzbekistan).The Conference was divided into 8 oral sessions (with 33 presentations) and 1 poster session (with 33 posters). The amount of time provided to one presentation was 15 minutes, after presentation there was 5 minutes available for discussion. The poster session was available throughout the event, and the posters were available for online viewing on the Conference's website with the possibility of make discussion and ask questions in real time via zoom meeting application as well. Every day of the Conference one "virtual coffee break” was devoted for discussion between participants and question and answer session for the Organizers.There were 96 registered participants from 13 countries. The online XXII Conference of PhD Students and Young Scientists was conducted using the Zoom meeting platform with commemorative screen shots taken. By tradition two competitions, for the best oral presentation and for the best poster were held. The award for the best oral presentation was given ex aequo to Julia Tiganj (TH Georg Agricola University of Applied Sciences, Germany) for the presentation entitled Post-mining goes international: hurdles to climate neutrality using the example of China and Oksana Khomiak, Jörg Benndorf (TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany) for the presentation entitled Spectral analysis of ore hyperspectral images at different stages of the mining value chain, whereas the best poster was awarded to Adam Wróblewski, Jacek Wodecki, Paweł Trybała, Radosław Zimroz (Wrocław University of Science and technology, Poland) for the poster entitled Large underground structures geometry evaluation based on point cloud data analysis.List of Scientific Committee, Organizing Committee, Editorial Team are available i this pdf.

Perceived Change in Quality of Life Related to Treatment of Hepatitis C Infection among People with Substance Use Disorder: A Qualitative Study

Background. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is often associated with people who inject drugs, and with a reduction in quality of life. While earlier forms of HCV treatment had low treatment uptake, newer HCV treatment integrated with opioid maintenance treatment appears to increase treatment uptake among those who inject drugs. The aim was to explore how people who inject drugs perceive changes in quality of life after treatment of HCV infection. Methods. Four focus group discussions, and 19 individual interviews were conducted with people who inject drugs or who had previously injected drugs and received opioid agonist therapy. All participants were successfully treated for and "cured” for HCV. Data were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results. The HCV treatment helped participants to let go of negative thoughts and break destructive patterns of interaction. This facilitated the restoration of social relationships with family and others. Furthermore, some participants reported a general improvement in their health. Feeling healthy meant fewer worries such as infecting others. Also, interactions with health professionals were experienced as less stigmatizing. These physical, social, and psychological improvements led to a form of "awakening” and being treated for HCV gave participants hope for the future. Conclusion. HCV treatment improves the mental and physical health in addition to play an important social function. Successful HCV treatment was associated with a greater sense of hope for the future, reconnection with significant others, and reduced feeling of stigma. Overall, improved health and social relationships contributed to improved quality of life.

Exploring the topic structure and evolutionary trends of health informatics research in library and information science

PurposeThis study aims to reveal the topic structure and evolutionary trends of health informatics research in library and information science.Design/methodology/approachUsing publications in Web of Science core collection, this study combines informetrics and content analysis to reveal the topic structure and evolutionary trends of health informatics research in library and information science. The analyses are conducted by Pajek, VOSviewer and Gephi.FindingsThe health informatics research in library and information science can be divided into five subcommunities: health information needs and seeking behavior, application of bibliometrics in medicine, health information literacy, health information in social media and electronic health records. Research on health information literacy and health information in social media is the core of research. Most topics had a clear and continuous evolutionary venation. In the future, health information literacy and health information in social media will tend to be the mainstream. There is room for systematic development of research on health information needs and seeking behavior.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to analyze the topic structure and evolutionary trends of health informatics research based on the perspective of library and information science. This study helps identify the concerns and contributions of library and information science to health informatics research and provides compelling evidence for researchers to understand the current state of research.

Medical-engineering Cross-innovation Postgraduate Talent Training

At the beginning of the new year of 2020, the new coronavirus swept across the motherland. Scientific researchers throughout the country overcame scientific difficulties and wrote papers for the motherland. Under the challenge of the epidemic situation, medical workers in the front saved the dying and healed the wounded, while the scientific researchers in the rear tackled scientific and technological problems. The two sides cooperated sincerely to unify medical practice and theoretical development, and effectively improved the scientific and technological level of China's medical industry. Health care is closely related to human survival, development and quality of life. At present, mankind is still facing the threat of major diseases, and the development of medical and health services has increasingly shown strategic significance to national security, social stability and even national survival. This article introduces a new model of talent cultivation at the graduate level. The cross-dissolution of clinical medicine and manufacturing engineering produces novel ideas and new technologies.

Use of digital tools for social engagement in remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic: a case study of a South African university

Digital tools have evolved into a way of life, and as a result, they have become a growing area of interest for academics who research teaching and learning. Scholars increasingly agree that because digital tools affect human-to-human connection, a greater emphasis on understanding their function in engagement from an interdisciplinary viewpoint is required. However, there does not appear to have been much research on how these tools facilitate social engagement, especially in teaching and learning. This mixed methods study employs a case-study design and explores how digital tools help or hinder social engagement in teaching and learning at a South African-based tertiary institution. A questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions was used to collect data from 88 students from four academic departments at a University of Technology (UoT): Media, Retail and Business Management, Entrepreneurship, and Food Science. Based on the concept of social engagement and the uses and gratifications theory, this interdisciplinary project examines how different fields employ digital tools for social engagement. Some of the findings are that of the communication technologies considered, WhatsApp (97%), video conferencing via Blackboard Collaborate (96.6%) and blackboard course content (95.5%) were the top three ranked tools. Further, WhatsApp was the preferred digital tool for communication with lecturers and peers, while Blackboard was the preferred platform for accessing course materials such as readings and videos. Other than video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Blackboard Collaborate and YouTube, students use digital tools for engagement with peers. For example, around a quarter of students who used Blackboard Discussion Forums reported engaging with each other. From the qualitative reflections, the study found that students were communicating more with their lecturers through digital tools. Despite having access to lecture recordings, there was still a sense that the educational experience was not as engaging as students wanted it to be because of the lack of in-person engagement.

The place of care in a large Belgian modernist complex

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of care, as well as the extent to which it is undervalued in Western societies, emphasising the instrumentalization and neoliberal logic that care is subject to. Since the 1970s, various feminist theorists have developed ethics of care. This evolving and controversial ethic has become a critical tool in sociology, philosophy, economics, and public policy analysis but is still underdeveloped in architecture and urban planning. This paper adopts the feminist ethic of care to analyse and criticise the evolution of a modernist social housing complex. The Cité de Droixhe was built in the 1950s to offer various facilities, 2000 rental social housing units, and vast green areas in Liège (Belgium). However, since its creation, it has undergone major transformations including the demolition of nearly 1000 units. In this qualitative inductive research, an interdisciplinary approach between architecture and social sciences was proposed, combining archival research, semi-structured interviews, and participatory observations. The ethic of care is mobilised both as a research and methodological posture and as an object of analysis. The data collected led to questioning the place of care in the evolution of the large complex under different themes: the facilitation of reproductive work, the valorisation of care professions, and the attention paid to proximity and the daily life of the neighbourhood inhabitants. By highlighting the integration and loss of care within the different transformations of the housing estate, this study shows the importance of reasserting the value of care and making it a collective responsibility, contributing to drawing perspectives for a more feminist, equal, and caring city.

The Body as Memory: Breast Cancer and the Holocaust in Women's Art

The Holocaust is a living trauma in the individual and collective body. Studies show that this trauma threatens to be reawakened when a new and traumatic experience, such as illness, emerges. The two traumas bring to the fore the experiences of death, pain, bodily injury, fear of losing control, and social rejection. This article examines the manifestation of this phenomenon in art through the works of three Jewish artists with autobiographical connections to the Holocaust who experienced breast cancer: the late Holocaust survivor Alina Szapocznikow, Israeli artist Anat Massad and English artist Lorna Brunstein, daughters of survivors. All three matured alongside the rise and development of feminist art, and their works address subjects such as femininity and race and tell their stories through their bodies and the traumas of breast cancer and the Holocaust, transmitting memory, working through trauma, and making their voices heard.

Youth Mental Health and Urban Precarity: an Interpretive Scoping Review of New Strategies

More generally, it is believed that urbanization, migration, conflict, and changes in technology, employment, and education around the world have a significant impact on how people live and develop. [...]there is a need to integrate the two issues of youth and urban mental health to advance knowledge of how young people experience these global shifts, urban processes, and conditions. In order to better understand what the future holds for people's mental health in the context of a rapidly growing global population living in cities, we analyze neuroscientific, epidemiological, and psychiatric research that has begun to engage with the disciplines of urban planning, urban sociology, geography, architecture, and urban design. There is a growing body of social scientific research that examines the dynamic interactions of spatial, temporal, and embodied factors linking precarious urban living conditions and young people's emotional experiences, as well as a resurgence of interest in urban mental health in the medical, psychological, and psychiatric literature. [...]the notions of neuropolis and ontological insecurity could serve as the foundation for new, interdisciplinary research that can aid in the creation of programs that improve young people's sense of control, comfort, and ability to handle conflict as well as assist them in navigating the choices presented by urban living.

A Mixed Methods Evaluation of an Integrated Primary and Behavioral Health Training Program for Counseling Students

Behavioral health provider shortages continue to grow in the United States, with the need for related services increasing as the SARS-COVID-19 pandemic persists. The implementation of integrated primary and behavioral healthcare (IPBH) practices represents one viable approach to leverage existing resources and maximize the potential for client outcomes;however, best practices for counselors within an IPBH paradigm remain unclear. We report the findings of a mixed method evaluation of an IPBH training program with 45 (36 females;9 males;Mage = 31.65) professional counseling students who predominately identified with ethnic minority identities (55%), urban residences (66%), and disadvantaged backgrounds (44%). We detected statistically and practically significant changes in self-efficacy (p = .01, d = .55) and interprofessional valuing and socialization (p < .01, d = .76), but mixed findings for variables associated with multicultural competence. Stakeholder interviews and document analysis identified four key facilitators (Financial Support;Facilitated Engagement;Witnessing Collaboration;Holistic Representation of Clients and Client Care) and four barriers (Awareness Raising and Recruitment;Logistics and Coordination;Inconsistent Culture of IPBH;Momentum Maintenance) to program success.

Exploring Clinician Attitudes Towards Treating Eating Disorders: Bridging Counselor Training Gaps

Eating disorder (ED) clinicians may face various challenges in practice, including burnout and feelings of incompetence. Several deficits may contribute to these challenges, such as graduate education and treatment gaps. In this study, 109 interdisciplinary clinicians were surveyed regarding their personal attitudes, experiences, and challenges in treating EDs. Among the various results, quantitative and qualitative findings highlighted the lack of graduate education as the primary challenge to effectively treating EDs, as well as the need for more ED research and culturally responsive care. Recommendations to enhance ED education and counselor training are provided, including managing countertransference and advocating for specialized coursework. Lastly, critical directions for future research are discussed.

Landscapes of Care during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Flanders (Belgium)

Western aging policies prioritize aging-in-place, often emphasizing informal care and support. However, organizing informal care at home gives rise to complicated and multilayered negotiations between people and their home environments. This negotiation involves sociocultural, economic, and spatial dimensions, impacting the so-called landscapes of care. Distance, both geographical and emotional, is a key factor in informal care. As the COVID-19 pandemic plunged us into a health crisis unprepared, governmental measures had to be implemented quickly. Older and at-risk persons especially had to keep distance from non-household members. These measures expectedly impacted the existing landscapes of care, especially regarding caring task divisions. This article discusses how landscapes of care were affected in Flanders (Dutch-speaking region of Belgium) during and shortly after its first lockdown. Sixteen in-depth, qualitative digital interviews were conducted as part of an interdisciplinary research project. They explored how social support and informal care networks of community-dwelling older adults might have changed during the pandemic. The findings indicate that informal care and support became more strictly and unilaterally organized within the families with a contraction of social support networks. Therefore, older people, although cared for, were forced into an organized social isolation at home.

DTMethod: A New Evidence-Based Design Thinking Methodology for Effective Teamwork

Design thinking (DT) emerged as a popular method of problem solving and idea generation in creative teams. However, despite the rapid increase in interest in DT as a practical tool, evidence for its effectiveness is rather scarce. Furthermore, neither the theory underlying the methods used in DT nor the definition of DT is coherent. As such, we have decided to introduce a new approach to DT by designing an evidence-based methodology and testing its efficacy among teams working on a specific task. In this article, we present the design thinking method (DTMethod), developed by an interdisciplinary team of practitioners and academics. We also present empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the DTMethod in the teamwork setting. In our study of 39 teams, we found that by using the DTMethod teams achieved more favorable results in terms of utility and meeting set requirements but not in terms of cost or time efficiency. We also found that individuals working according to the DTMethod reported experiencing less positive emotional states but were, overall, more satisfied with the experience and rated teamwork more favorably in terms of cohesiveness and team effort.

EXPLORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE NEW INTERDISCIPLINARY SKIN INTEGRITY COURSE TO ENHANCE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS' KNOWLEDGE OF SKIN INJURY PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT

Wound Ostomy Care nurses (WOCN) were constantly requested to provide unit-based education to address skin integrity issues. Currently, there is no institutional interdisciplinary skin integrity course except the skin champion class designed only for champions. The WOCN nurse educator presented the idea for proactive quarterly skin integrity interdisciplinary care course to enhance health care professionals' knowledge on the assessment, prevention, and early identification and management of skin injuries. The purpose of this course is to enhance the health care interprofessional knowledge of current practices in skin injury assessment, prevention, early identification, and management in the oncology setting. A comprehensive interdisciplinary skin integrity course was developed using evidence-based content from various disciplines. The multidisciplinary content developers and speakers include Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), Safe Patient Handling and Mobility Program (SPHM), Respiratory, Nutrition, WOCN, and the nursing quality team. Course development was done for several months, and meetings were scheduled biweekly until the completion of course development. An 8-hour in-person course was developed with two sessions. The morning session was for a didactic, interactive class that ended with a well-designed case scenario. The afternoon session was hands-on skills with interdisciplinary stations, including vendors. Analysis of post-course evaluation for the first two courses showed that 87% and 90% of participants stated that their learning objectives for the course were met, respectively. Additionally, 93% and 90% of participants verbalized improved competence in skin integrity identification and new strategies to improve patient care and outcome. This course provided education for the interdisciplinary team with speakers comprising WOCN, PT, OT, SPHM, nutritionists, and respiratory therapists from the respective teams with hands-on demonstration and question and answer sessions. Additionally, 99% of the participants state that they are committed to changing practice in areas ranging from patient education, quality improvement, safety, teamwork, diagnosis and screening, communication, and treatment. Staff attendance and participation were concerns at the beginning of the course due to Covid restrictions and staffing issues. The attendance for the first class was 19 participants, and the attendance improved to 34 participants in the second class. Overall, the participants enjoyed the class and stated, "I received great information about new supplies, equipment, and products to take care of my patients."

From Institutional Diagnosis to Interdisciplinary Support: Hospital Psychology during the COVID-19

The crisis generated by the Covid-19 pandemic changed health care routines and dynamics of hospitals, which impacted health professionals. This experience report presents an interdisciplinary institutional support intervention led by the Psychology Service of a pediatric hospital. Based on the hospital management's demand for the care of the employees' mental health, an institutional diagnosis was made, and an interdisciplinary action of orientation, support, and mental care to employees was structured, revealing the concerns and obstacles to hospital functioning during the pandemic. From there, it was possible to realign the action, highlighting the interdisciplinary quality of mental health care. Emotional rebalancing, strengthening of professional identity, and better occupational performance were observed. This rescue fostered a transformation process that consisted of collaborating to overcome difficulties, promoting an environment of resilience and better coping with the situation, and indicating the need to maintain the attention that the crisis has provided.Alternate : La crisis generada por la pandemia de la coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cambió las rutinas de atención médica y la dinámica de los hospitales y impactó los profesionales de la salud.

The loopholes of algorithmic public services: an "intelligent” accountability research agenda

Purpose Governments are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI) algorithmic systems to increase efficiency and effectiveness of public service delivery. While the diffusion of AI offers several desirable benefits, caution and attention should be posed to the accountability of AI algorithm decision-making systems in the public sector. The purpose of this paper is to establish the main challenges that an AI algorithm might bring about to public service accountability. In doing so, the paper also delineates future avenues of investigation for scholars.Design/methodology/approach This paper builds on previous literature and anecdotal cases of AI applications in public services, drawing on streams of literature from accounting, public administration and information technology ethics.Findings Based on previous literature, the paper highlights the accountability gaps that AI can bring about and the possible countermeasures. The introduction of AI algorithms in public services modifies the chain of responsibility. This distributed responsibility requires an accountability governance, together with technical solutions, to meet multiple accountabilities and close the accountability gaps. The paper also delineates a research agenda for accounting scholars to make accountability more "intelligent”.Originality/value The findings of the paper shed new light and perspective on how public service accountability in AI should be considered and addressed. The results developed in this paper will stimulate scholars to explore, also from an interdisciplinary perspective, the issues public service organizations are facing to make AI algorithms accountable.
