"Learning from the rare disease community

Europe’s pharmaceutical entrepreneurs are taking the lessons learned from this community to develop health innovation which would not have been dreamt of a few decades ago."

 

Yes, they do! 

The sciences (all of them) are a vital domain, but as ever of course we must not let this limit the scope of our collective aspirations when it comes to rare diseases and innovation.

We need to take into account the four domains of Hodges' model plus the spiritual as we address local and global health with rare diseases and disability an intrinsic part of health systems and services whether in delivery or development.

In this way we also acknowledge the role of the social determinants of health and the SDGs.

Endurance: Trapped in the ice (and other thoughts ..?)

"'What the ice gets, the ice keeps,'*

... said Ernest Shackleton of his ship Endurance as he saw it lost to the Antarctic. History came eerily close to repeating itself on Monday when the Endurance 22 expedition, which is searching for Shackleton's lost ship, became stuck in the Weddell Sea. The mission ran into trouble overnight when the SA Agulhas II, a South African icebreaker, became trapped and the temperature plummeted to minus 10C. The historian Dan Snow, who is on the expedition, said it happened on the spot where Shackleton's ship was last seen in 1915.

Unlike Endurance, which sank after months stuck in the ice, modern technology allowed Agulhas II to escape in hours. Its crane held a container full of aviation fuel over the side and swung it back and forth to wriggle the ship free.

It is late summer in Antarctica and winter is coming, meaning the team's time is limited. 'In a few weeks, it all starts freezing up,' said Mensun Bound, the director of exploration. 'In a few days we have to get our tails out of here.'" p.23.
<>

When person-centred, integrated, and holistic care is the mission; care that takes into account physical and mental health, demands additional degrees of freedom to assure success. If we get stuck, by a blank page, or too much information then swinging the axes into thought plus the dichotomies inherent in the health career model, can come to our rescue and facilitate creativity and progress.

Paper: Florence Nightingale and J.S. Mill Debate Women's Rights

EVELYN L. PUGH

"In Florence Nightingale's correspondence a series of letters to and from
J.S. Mill treat a different subject than her usual correspondence with
government officials, health and sanitation reformers, and hospital
administrators in many parts of the world. Although it was never her
intention when she initiated the exchange of letters, she and Mill quickly
became involved in a controversy concerning the role of women.

Interwoven with some religious and philosophical matters, the
Nightingale-Mill correspondence which falls into two periods, 1860 and
1867, is essentially a debate on women's rights. One debate concerns
terminology and hinges on the entire validity of the question of publicity
for the women's movement, then in its infancy, as well as the opening of
the medical profession to women. The other focuses on differing percep-
tions of the role of women in political action. The exchange never became
public during the lifetime of the participants, emerging with little notice
only in the twentieth century with the complete publication of their
correspondence in the journal Hospitals in 1936.1"

"Personalized learning has a number of levels ..." c/o MIT Technology Review

MIT Technology Review
"... There's a difference between adaptive learning and personalized learning," says Chris Dede, a professor at Harvard University in the Technology, Innovation, and Education Program. Squirrel is doing adaptive learning, which is about "understanding exactly what students know and don't know."But it pays no attention to what they want to know or how they learn best. Personalized learning takes their interests and and needs into account to "orchestrate the motivation and time for each student so they are able to make progress."

Jutta Treviranus, a professor at the Ontario College of Art and Design University who pioneered personalized learning to improve inclusivity in education, breaks it down into further. "Personalized learning has a number of levels," she says: she calls them pace, path, and destination.

If the pace of learning is personalized, students with different abilities are allowed different amounts of time to learn the same material. If the path is personalized, students might be given different motivations to reach the same objectives ("Here's why statistics is relevant to your love of baseball") and offered the material in different formats (e.g., video versus text). If the destination is personalized, students can choose, for instance, whether to learn with a vocational school or university in mind.
"We need students to understand their own learning. We need them to determine what they want to learn, and we need them to learn to learn," Treviranus says. "Squirrel AI doesn't address those things at all. It only make it more efficient to bring all of the students to the same standardized place." pp.27-28.

In the first instance Treviranus's three P's are located in what I feel are the most pertinent domains in bold and underlined. 'Path' is placed in the intra- interpersonal domain because as explained the learning must have meaning, sufficient to motivate the student. This might be global, sharing this domain with 'destination' as an overall goal (personal ambition - aspiration). As ever, having my cake and eating it ... what is the rationale for the secondary... occurrences? Let's take 'destination', first, in the sciences and political domains this may relate to a student's particular interest in a subject, or course of study to enter a profession at a specific university. In the sociology domain, what are the other influences on choice for the student's 'destination'? 

Individual choice is a great gift but only when it can be exercised, can it stand chance of being realised. In the group context, socially and politically is the 'path' and 'destination' (truly) open? The skills of teachers and mentors are key to the secondary execution of 'path'. Knowledge of the subject, technology, and as described the student allied with the latest educational research are essential. A teacher in a subject may prove an inspiration for a student: helping to generate an educational fusion.

'Pace' was placed in the sciences domain, to denote process, sequence, time; a curriculum delivered. In an exam there is no greater enemy than lack of time, but without the facts, knowledge, and insight to answer a question, time can make a mockery of us. Our 'pace' can also be noticed by our peers, which can be positive or negative socially and personally. 'Pace', is invariably political, as the calendar flicks whether by an analogue or digital turn. Outcomes and reports ultimately count.

The 4P's which I associate with each of the model's domains are italicised at the bottom of each domain.

c/o GPonline: "Social prescribing patients curate art exhibition at leading Cornish gallery"

"The ‘What Lies Behind’ exhibition, a recent display in Newlyn Art Gallery, saw 10 patients from Morrab Surgery in Penzance select works of art from Arts Council national collection of more than 8,000 pieces.

The group were asked to choose pieces that reflected their personal response to the pandemic. The works on display included textiles, sculpture, prints and paintings by artists including Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore and Chila Burman.

The project came about during lockdown after Morrab Surgery’s social prescribing link worker Ellie Moseley realised that many of the patients in the practice that she was working with had an interest in the arts." [ On GPonline ].

6th International Conference on Disability and Development: Disability and COVID-19


We invite you to join the 6th International Conference on Disability and Development

The Conference will be hosted by the International Centre for Evidence in Disability

Date: 14 - 17 March 2022
Time: 10am – 12pm GMT each day
Venue: Virtual

COVID-19 has dominated global discourse for the last 18 months as the pandemic impacts everyone, everywhere. There is growing evidence that people with disabilities and their families are particularly at risk during the pandemic, in terms of:

1. Increased risk of death and hospitalization;
2. Exclusion from the COVID-19 response actions (e.g. information, vaccination);
3. Adverse consequences of COVID-19 control activities (e.g. lockdown and social distancing);
4. Negative impacts on health (e.g. reduction in rehabilitation care).

The Conference seeks to bring together people to discuss and debate Disability and COVID-19. The focus will be on new research findings, methodologies and tools and implications of evidence for policy and practice. The focus will include both low-, middle- and high-income settings as well as humanitarian contexts.

Who should attend? All those with a strong interest in disability and COVID-19 are very welcome to attend, and this may include researchers, policy activists, decision- makers and practitioners. People with disabilities are particularly encouraged to submit abstracts and attend.

Please visit our event page for more information 
and for more details about abstract submission.

Deadline for submissions: 10th February 2022

International sign language interpreters and live captioning will be available at the event. 

If other access needs are required, please email disabilitycentre AT lshtm.ac.uk.

"DG recognize that narrow identities form through social interactions and that groups play an important role in this process. This is a major advance. Because narrow identities are an equilibrium phenomenon they cannot be undone through individual will and right thinking alone. Specifically, DG’s model consists of a finite population of individuals, N, and two groups, A and B. Individuals and groups are ex ante identical. Individuals can choose to join one or both of the groups. Only the extensive margin (membership) is considered, not the time or effort devoted to each group. The payoff from joining group k ∈{A, B} is increasing in the size of group k and is also a function of the size of the other group k k. An individual i is said to have a narrow identity if i joins only one of the groups. Society can be said to have narrow identities when each individual i N joins exactly one group. Note that narrow identities can exist in a monomorphic equilibrium (where all individuals join one group) or a polymorphic equilibrium (where different individuals join different groups)." p.79.
