This article aims to present a critical analysis of the book entitled “Creative Research Communication ― Theory and Practice”, written by Clare Wilkinson and Emma Weitkamp (Manchester University Press, 2016). We aim to present the structure of the book, highlighting its strengths and successes. Although some chapters focus on the UK, the book offers a wide range of examples of practical activities for the communication of research of global interest and provides very useful tips. Ethical issues and the importance of evaluation, of how to do carry out such evaluation and dissemination, are also presented in an inspiring way. Well-written and objective, the book is a must-read for anyone who works, or aspires to work, in the field of public engagement with research.

This paper begins with a discussion and analysis of the relevance of work-based learning to contemporary education and training needs. It then briefly outlines changes in attitudes and approaches to higher education and training in the UK over the past few decades and highlights the new ‘learning partnership model’ (LPM) as one that offers great potential for the effective development of a wide range of skills. In this context, the authors present a detailed analytical case study of a European-funded Adapt-University for Industry project that sought to identify training needs and to provide guidance and advice on work-based learning opportunities for a variety of Scottish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Using Training Needs Analysis, the authors assess the difficulties as well as the opportunities inherent in such projects. The findings illustrate the heterogeneity of the SMEs' training and guidance requirements and highlight the importance of addressing the tension that exists between the different expectations of employers and employees in relation to training needs and benefits.

This paper discusses the theoretical aspects and relevance of the interdisciplinary approach in the pedagogical process. An interdisciplinary teaching aid for public relations, developed at Psychology and Pedagogy Department of SSTU, is considered to be a form of interdisciplinary connections formation in the process of bachelors training whose major is 42.03.01 Advertising and public relations.

Summary: The views of heads of academic departments in UK medical and dental schools on the extent of their speciality's involvement in teaching undergraduates about HIV/AIDS and undertaking research in this area was ascertained by postal questionnaire. Three hundred and nineteen responses were received from medical schools (61.7%) and 58 responses from dental schools (53.2%). The greatest number of responses in one speciality was received from the Departments of General Practice, Paediatrics and Children's Dentistry. The amount of teaching varied widely, was dispersed throughout the curriculum within a wide range of broader subject areas and tended to be carried out by senior staff using didactic lecture format. Dental courses were more often assessed than medical courses. The small number of patients available was seen as a major problem. Involvement in research was appreciable. However, knowledge of student awareness campaigns was not widespread. We conclude that more specific teaching on HIV/AIDS is needed, particularly discussion about attitudes towards patients and ethical issues. HIV/AIDS counsellors should have an increased involvement in undergraduate teaching and teaching methods should provide opportunities for interactive discussion. Extensive research is being conducted in the UK. However, further work is needed to identify the perceived needs of students and the extent to which these are being met.

The collective monograph prepared by the staff of the Department of social psychology of St. Petersburg state University presents theoretical and practical provisions of the current state of social psychology of communication as a branch of scientific knowledge. Various aspects of social psychology of communication on the materials of research conducted in recent years by domestic and foreign researchers are considered here. A significant place is occupied by the works of psychologists of St. Petersburg state University. Since communication in various forms accompanies all human activity, the content of this monograph covers a wide range of communication processes in the areas of family and professional organizations, in various social groups — small and large. Special attention is paid to the problems of inter-ethnic relations and intercultural communication. This book may be of interest to specialists-psychologists and representatives of related scientific disciplines — sociologists, cultural scientists and ethnographers. Students-psychologists of senior courses and graduate students, referring to this work, will undoubtedly be able to deepen their understanding of the phenomenon of communication in human life.

Principlism is arguably the dominant recognised ethical framework used within medicine and other Western health professions today, including the UK paramedic profession. It concerns the application of four principles: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice. This article examines the theory and practice of principlism, and shows how it is used in daily paramedic practice and decision-making. Practical guidance on applying ethics in paramedicine, illustrated with scenarios, is also provided. This is the first in a series of three articles on paramedic ethics. This series complements the Journal of Paramedic Practice's concurrent CPD˚series on paramedic law in the UK. Later articles in this series will examine the complex ethical issues that can accompany end-of-life care, and ethical considerations relating to treatment of vulnerable persons including children.

Broad Overview

What is scientific research? It is the process by which we learn about the world. For this research to have an impact, and positively contribute to society, it needs to be communicated to those who need to understand its outcomes and significance for them. Any piece of research is not complete until it has been recorded and passed on to those who need to know about it. So, good communication skills are a key attribute for researchers, and scientists today need to be able to communicate through a wide range of media, from formal scientific papers to presentations and social media, and to a range of audiences, from expert peers to stakeholders to the general public. In this book, the goals and nature of scientific communication are explored, from the history of scientific publication; through the stages of how papers are written, evaluated, and published; to what happens after publication, using examples from landmark historical papers. In addition, ethical issues relating to publication, and the damage caused by cases of fabrication and falsification, are explored. Other forms of scientific communication such as conference presentations are also considered, with a particular focus on presenting and writing for nonspecialist audiences, the media, and other stakeholders. Overall, this book provides a broad overview of the whole range of scientific communication and should be of interest to researchers and also those more broadly interested in the process how what scientists do every day translates into outcomes that contribute to society.

This chapter provides an overview of the ethics of environmental health, and it introduces five chapters in the related section of The Oxford Handbook of Public Health Ethics. A wide range of ethical issues arises in managing the relationship between human health and the environment, including regulation of toxic substances, air and water pollution, waste management, agriculture, the built environment, occupational health, energy production and use, environmental justice, population control, and climate change. The values at stake in environmental health ethics include those usually mentioned in ethical debates in biomedicine and public health, such as autonomy, social utility, and justice, as well as values that address environmental concerns, such as animal welfare, stewardship of biological resources, and sustainability. Environmental health ethics, therefore, stands at the crossroads of several disciplines, including public health ethics, environmental ethics, biomedical ethics, and business ethics.
