The health emergency situation caused by COVID-19 has come to suppose a huge social, economic, political, educational and personal disruption in many countries. Activity at all educational levels has been affected in a very important way and in a very special way in the case of the training of doctors and health professionals due to their special characteristics. This has determined that universities should put in place mechanisms to cushion the immediate effects of this contingency. But over the months, it has unfortunately been verified that the COVID-19 contingency has not disappeared, and everything indicates that we will have to live with it for an undetermined time. For this reason, it is necessary to reflect not so much on what we have had to do to solve the emergency, but on what we must do in the immediate future to ensure adequate training for our medical students and other health professionals. In this article, we reflect on those changes that should be implemented to face the new situation, making a special reference to the new contents that we must teach, the teaching methodologies that we must use and the role of ICT, the adaptation of assessment to the new situation, and to the new roles to be played by both teachers and students who live the current situation with anxiety and uncertainty. ; La situación de emergencia sanitaria provocada por el COVID-19 ha venido a suponer una enorme disrupción social, económica, política, educativa y personal en muchos países. La actividad en todos los niveles educativos se ha visto afectada de forma muy importante y de forma muy especial en el caso de la formación de los médicos y los profesionales sanitarios por sus especiales características. Ello ha determinado que las universidades debieran poner en marcha mecanismos para amortiguar los efectos inmediatos de esta contingencia. Pero con el paso de los meses, se ha comprobado desafortunadamente que la contingencia COVID-19 no ha desaparecido y todo indica que deberemos convivir con ella por un periodo todavía indeterminado. Por ello es necesario reflexionar no tanto sobre aquello que hemos debido hacer para solucionar la urgencia, sino en lo que deberemos hacer en el futuro inmediato para asegurar una formación adecuada de nuestros estudiantes de medicina y otros profesionales de la salud. En este articulo se reflexiona sobre aquellos cambios que deberían implementarse para afrontar la nueva situación, con especial referencia a los nuevos contenidos que deberemos impartir, a las metodologías docentes que deberemos usar y el papel de las TIC, la adaptación de las evaluaciones a la nueva situación, y a los nuevos roles que deberán desempeñar tanto profesores como estudiantes que viven la situación actual con ansiedad e incertidumbre.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to achieve a greater understanding of the transitions young adults experience into and out of the labour market and the influence that gender and married/cohabiting status have on employment careers.Design/methodology/approachThe paper focuses on young adults (25-34 years old) in four European countries – Italy, the Netherlands, the UK and Norway – that are representative of different youth transition regimes. Using longitudinal data from EU-SILC survey (for the years 2006-2012) and event history analysis, the authors investigate the effect of the particular set of institutional features of each country, the effect of the cohort of entry and the effect of gender differences in determining transitions across labour market status.FindingsFindings show that the filter exercised by the national institutions has a selective impact on the careers of young adults, with some institutional contexts more protective than others. In this respect, the condition of inactivity emerges as an interesting finding: on one side, it mainly involves women in a partnership, on the other side it is more common in protective youth regimes, suggesting that it may be a chosen rather than suffered condition.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to existing literature by: focusing on a specific category, young adults from 25 to 34 years old, which is increasingly recognised as a critical stage in the life course though it receives less attention than its younger counterpart (15-24); integrating the importance of family dynamics on work careers by analysing the different effects played by married/cohabiting status for men and women.

"Until recently, the age of exploration and empire building was researched and taught within imperial and national boundaries. The histories of Europe, Africa, North America, and South America were told largely as independent stories, with the development of individual places within each continent further separated from each other. The indigenous populations of places colonized by Europeans fit into the history even more uneasily, often mentioned only in passing. Encyclopedia of the Atlantic World, 1400-1900 synthesizes a generation of historical scholarship on the events on four continents, providing readers an invaluable introduction to the major people, places, events, movements, objects, concepts, and commodities of the Atlantic world as it developed during a key period in history when the world first started to shrink. The entries discuss specific topics with an eye toward showing how individual items, people, and events were connected to the larger Atlantic world. This accessibly written reference book brings together topics usually treated separately and discretely, alleviating the need for extra legwork when researching, and it draws from the latest research to make a vast body of scholarship about seemingly far-flung places available to readers new to the field."--Publisher description

AbstractThis article selects state‐owned enterprises listed on the A‐share market of China from 2010 to 2021 as the research sample, and adopts the Ordered Logistic Model to analyze the relationship between digital transformation (DX) and environment, social and governance (ESG) performance of enterprises, and studies the moderating effect of mixed‐ownership reform. The study found that: the DX of state‐owned enterprises can indeed improve ESG performance, and its time lag effect is significant; for state‐owned enterprises located in high‐tech industries, with higher level of marketization, or in the maturity stage, their DX has a significant promoting effect on ESG performance; In addition, mixed‐ownership reform can amplify the positive impact of DX of state‐owned enterprises on ESG performance.

The two main constituents of any corporate governance system are corporate governance regulation and the market for corporate control. Their impact on economic growth, the development of markets, and the governance of firms has been widely studied both theoretically and empirically. However, empirical research in this field remains mostly confined to the UK and US and there is little known about the effects of takeover market and corporate legislation in Continental Europe. This dissertation provides a comprehensive overview of the market for corporate control and corporate governance regulation in European countries and documents their evolution during the past 15 years. The overview is complimented with the analysis of the impact of corporate takeovers and regulatory environment in European countries on companies' profitability and the choice of financing sources. We show that there are substantial differences between Anglo-American and Continental European markets for corporate control and legal systems and these differences have significant impact on economic growth, the development of markets, and the governance of firms.

The idea that class identities have waned in importance over recent decades is a staple feature of much contemporary social theory yet has not been systematically investigated using primary historical data. This paper re-uses qualitative data collected by Mass-Observation which asks about the social class identities of correspondents of its directives in two different points in time, 1948 and 1990. I show that there were significant changes in the way that class was narrated in these two periods. There is not simple decline of class identities, but rather a subtle reworking of the means by which class is articulated. In the earlier period Mass-Observers are ambivalent about class in ways which indicate the power of class as a form of ascriptive inscription. By 1990, Mass-Observers do not see class identities as the ascribed product of their birth and upbringing, but rather they elaborate a reflexive and individualised account of their mobility between class positions in ways which emphasise the continued importance of class identities. As well as being a contribution to debates on changing class identities, the paper highlights the value of the re-use of qualitative data as a means of examining patterns and processes of historical change

The study delves into the foreign policy plans of Alexei Navalny, the Russian politician who is currently commonly regarded as the most prominent opposition leader and the sole plausible alternative to Vladimir Putin. Drawing on his interviews, public speeches, media publications and electoral manifestos, the author analyses his foreign policy views alongside three topics, that is, Russia's policies towards disputed lands and states in the post-Soviet area (Crimea, Donbas, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria), the country's foreign policy orientation and priorities (especially regarding relations with the West) and assessment of the Putin regime's foreign policy. Following this, the author speculates on the likely foundations of Russia's foreign policy under Navalny's possible presidency and their implications for the West.

There is a growing interest in telecare, particularly in the kind of "invisible work" involved in teleconsultations (Oudshoorn, 2011). One dimension of this work is the "sensory work" in support of clinical examination at a distance (Lupton & Maslen, 2017). More research is needed to understand how such sensory work is done in and as multimodal interaction (Mondada, 2019). Recent work has shown the extent to which such sensory work could be re-mediated, despite challenges due to the technology, in particular the asymmetry of sensory access (Seuren et al., 2020; Stommel, Van Goor, & Stommel, 2020). In earlier research, we found that showings occurred less frequently in post-surgery consultations conducted through video rather than face-to-face (Stommel et al., 2020). Moreover, in spite of the apparent relevance of visual access, it seemed as if showings were even being evaded. In this article, we use a conversation analytical perspective to examine one case of emergent showing sequences in a video-mediated post-surgery consultation, in order to track its sequential organisation, which develops towards an eventually inadequate showing. The case comes from a set of post-surgery consultations with patients who had undergone tumour resection (abdominal surgery) two weeks earlier. We first present a case from an in-person consultation, in which a showing sequence is inserted smoothly and closed with mutual assessments. Next, we focus on the VMC-showing, which is also inserted in the context of a patient question concerning the surgery scars. We analyse the context leading up to the showing, the showing itself and the abandonment of the showing sequence. We found that, first, the showing is not initiated at the earliest sequential opportunity, but is requested with an orientation to potential barriers. Second, screen-based evidential boundaries emerge, as the surgeon has no visual access to what is shown, in response to which the surgeon employs remedial action. Third, the surgeon moves out of the showing to an instructed touch-sequence – in other words, displays of visual appreciation are neither produced nor pursued. Upon the surgeon's closing formulation that it was "difficult to assess in this manner", the contextual factor of visibility is eventually explicitly claimed to be "ineffective" for medical assessment. These findings might explain the scarcity of showing sequences in our data. More generally, they raise questions about (the limits of) sensory work in video consultations.

AbstractThis article examines the historical formation of local masculine identity in the city of Dalian in north-east China. I argue that the experiences of Dalian-Chinese men under Japanese colonialism (1905–45) established a model of masculine identity based on bodily resistance. The article explores Dalian men's encounter with colonialism by comparing two different forms of bodily experience: military calisthenics in Japanese-run schools for Chinese boys and street soccer. On the one hand, military calisthenics impressed Chinese schoolboys with a sense of subjugation focused on the body. Bodily movements were performed under the strict scrutiny of Japanese drill masters and formed an integral part of everyday rituals of obedience. On the other hand, street soccer emerged as a popular and potentially creative activity among Chinese schoolboys. In contrast with the controlled motions of military calisthenics, soccer offered a sense of freedom in its unrestricted and improvised movements. Matches against Japanese teams even more explicitly infused soccer with a spirit of nationalistic resistance. In conclusion, I argue that these bodily experiences are crucial to understanding the historical reformations of Dalian male gender identity.

During the early communist period of the 1950s, temple fairs in China were both suppressed and secularized. Temples were closed down by the secular regime and their activities classified as feudal superstition and this process only intensified during the Cultural Revolution when even the surviving secular fairs, devoted exclusively to trade with no religious content of any kind, were suppressed. However, once China embarked on its path of free market reform and openness, secular commodity exchange fairs were again authorized, and sometimes encouraged in the name of political economy as a me.

The situation for career counselors today is particularly complex. Transformational areas such as the Corona pandemic, the climate crisis, the economic situation, and an aging population are bringing rapid changes to the demands of the labor market. This book addresses the challenges in the European labor market from the multinational perspective of career counselors. It includes multiple contributions from different countries that address the country-specific challenges that generate support and development needs for counselors. Measures, solution strategies and future forecasts are included. The contributions are based on the Academia+ project, in which a total of three online training series for career counselors from across Europe on the topics of "Counseling Migrants and Refugees," "Future Jobs," and "Demographic Change" were conducted and evaluated. The book is intended to be a guide for professionals in the vocational training field and to facilitate and support a practice-oriented initial interview from the counselor's point of view.
