In the twenty-first century, educators around the world are being told that they need to transform education systems to adapt young people for the challenges of a global digital knowledge economy. ...Too rarely, however, do we ask whether this future vision is robust, achievable or even desirable, whether alternative futures might be in development, and what other possible futures might demand of education.
Drawing on ten years of research into educational innovation and socio-technical change, working with educators, researchers, digital industries, students and policy-makers, this book questions taken-for-granted assumptions about the future of education. Arguing that we have been working with too narrow a vision of the future, Keri Facer makes a case for recognizing the challenges that the next two decades may bring, including:
the emergence of new relationships between humans and technology
the opportunities and challenges of aging populations
the development of new forms of knowledge and democracy
the challenges of climate warming and environmental disruption
the potential for radical economic and social inequalities.
This book describes the potential for these developments to impact critical aspects of education - including adult-child relationships, social justice, curriculum design, community relationships and learning ecologies. Packed with examples from around the world and utilising vital research undertaken by the author while Research Director at the UK's Futurelab, the book helps to bring into focus the risks and opportunities for schools, students and societies over the coming two decades. It makes a powerful case for rethinking the relationship between education and social and technological change, and presents a set of key strategies for creating schools better able to meet the emerging needs of their students and communities.

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor, with a tendency to bleed on manipulation. A young female presented to us with a disfiguring facial pyogenic granuloma. We adopted a novel approach using ...pressure therapy to treat the same. The use of an elastic adhesive bandage reduced the size and vascularity of the lesion, following which laser ablation was done with minimal bleeding and scarring. This is a simple, inexpensive method to approach large and disfiguring pyogenic granulomas.

The periocular area is one of the initial parts of the face that show signs of aging, where patients usually worry about the visual manifestations of aging, such as the sunken lower eyelid. The ...condition is usually caused by iatrogenic factors or involutional changes in the periocular area. This study aimed to develop and improve surgical methods to fill the sunken lower eyelids and examine their efficacy and safety. This study included 26 patients who had been treated with the musculofascial flap transposition method from the upper to the lower eyelid, under the posterior lamella. In the presented method, a deepithelized triangular musculofascial flap with a lateral feeding pedicle was transposed from the upper eyelid to the lower eyelid tear through depression. In all patients, the method achieved either a complete or a partial elimination of the defect. The proposed method to fill a defect of soft tissues in the arcus marginalis can be considered useful if upper blepharoplasty has not been performed previously and the orbicular muscle has been preserved.
The use of face mask is essential in COVID-19 era. During this period for cosmetic procedure on the face, the mask should be of small size and easily procured to maximize the exposure of the face ...especially in girls going to get married having hirsutism. For this purpose, the surgical mask is customized to get a small face mask.
Les collectivités locales et particulièrement les intercommunalités françaises sont soumises à de profondes mutations de leur cadre d’intervention. Les différentes réponses apportées sont diverses et ...certaines peuvent relever du champ des innovations organisationnelles et managériales. Encore faut-il les qualifier, les comprendre, et en mesurer la portée. L’objectif de cet article est d’apporter un premier éclairage sur ces dimensions, pour un panel d’EPCI dans une région, en nous adossant aux résultats d’une enquête quantitative et d’un travail d’investigation qualitatif. Notre contribution a pour objet de mieux préciser les définitions, contours et facteurs propres à de telles innovations dans ces établissements singuliers sur le plan institutionnel et territorial.
•Analysis of data for 3273 European public sector agencies identifies three distinct innovation methods.•The three methods are bottom up, knowledge scanning, and policy dependent.•Bottom-up agencies ...are more likely to be in high income countries than policy-dependent agencies.•A higher share of bottom-up and knowledge scanning agencies introduce novel innovations.•Bottom-up and knowledge scanning agencies out-perform policy-dependent agencies on innovation outcomes.
Factor and cluster analysis are used to identify different methods that public sector agencies in Europe use to innovate, based on data from a 2010 survey of 3273 agencies. The analyses identify three types of innovative agencies: bottom-up, knowledge-scanning, and policy-dependent. The distribution of bottom-up agencies across European countries is positively correlated with average per capita incomes while the distribution of knowledge-scanning agencies is negatively correlated with income. In contrast, there is no consistent pattern by country in the distribution of policy-dependent agencies. Regression results that control for agency characteristics find that innovation methods are significantly correlated with the beneficial outcomes of innovation, with bottom-up and knowledge-scanning agencies out-performing policy-dependent agencies.
