Summary
Global oncology curricula face challenges like unclear goals and lack of diverse input. Addressing power dynamics and local contexts can improve their development and implementation.
Area of Science:
- Oncology Education
- Global Health
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- Global harmonization of oncology curricula is proposed to enhance physician mobility and care quality.
- However, the challenges and unintended consequences of such harmonization require thorough investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To critically examine the concept and implementation of global oncology curricula.
- To explore their relationship with local contexts, power dynamics, and cultural factors.
Main Methods:
- Conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 14 international participants involved in global oncology curriculum development.
- Employed snowball sampling and iterative, abductive analysis with collaborative review for credibility.
Main Results:
- Identified 5 key challenges: ambiguous perspectives, insufficient diverse representation, rigid competency requirements, mismatch with local contexts, and influence of power dynamics.
- Proposed leveraging diversity, representation, power equity, and local context integration to mitigate these challenges.
Conclusions:
- Global oncology curricula have potential advocacy roles in healthcare systems.
- Addressing identified challenges through diversity and contextualization can improve curriculum construction and implementation.

502
Global regulatory systems in bacteria enable rapid and coordinated responses to environmental changes by integrating sensory inputs with gene expression, ensuring efficient adaptation to fluctuating conditions. Key global regulatory mechanisms include regulons, two-component systems, sigma factors, and secondary messengers.Regulons and Global RegulatorsA regulon is a collection of genes and operons controlled by a common global regulator. These regulators enable bacteria to prioritize resource...

01:22Vygotsky's Cognitive Development in Cultural Context
811
Lev Vygotsky, a pioneering Russian psychologist, developed a theory of cognitive development that centers on the influence of social and cultural factors. Unlike Jean Piaget, who emphasized the child's direct interaction with the physical world as key to development, Vygotsky argued that cognitive growth is an interpersonal process that unfolds within a cultural context. For Vygotsky, a child's learning cannot be separated from their social environment, which includes the values,...

341
The Global Positioning System (GPS) revolutionized positioning on Earth, providing precise location data through satellite ranging. The GPS system was developed in 1978 by the U.S. Department of Defense for military use, and it became available for civilian applications in 1983, transforming fields including navigation, fleet management, and time synchronization for telecommunications systems.GPS consists of satellites in medium Earth orbit, about 20,200 kilometers above the surface,...

319
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

795
Julian Rotter introduced the concept of locus of control, a cognitive factor that significantly influences personality development and learning. Locus of control refers to an individual's beliefs about the extent of control they have over events in their lives. According to Rotter, this belief system can be categorized into two types: internal and external locus of control.
Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that their personal efforts and decisions directly affect their...
