Healing with Ayahuasca the Plant Teacher: Psychedelic Metaphoricity and Polyontologies.

Article Synopsis
- People from different backgrounds, like shamans and atheists, believe that drinking ayahuasca helps them gain special knowledge, almost like the plant is teaching them something.
- At a healing retreat in the Amazon, the article looks at how local shamans and their visitors experience things like strong visions and feeling sick, which shape their views on healing.
- The article also discusses how different beliefs about reality can clash, but it tries to understand them without saying one way of thinking is better than another.

Introduction: Despite legislation mandating accommodation policies in postsecondary education, support for students with disabilities is often not implemented within health and human services (HHS) education programs, particularly in fieldwork settings. As part of a Canada-wide study exploring the experiences of disabled students in 10 HHS programs, we examined how HHS students described their experiences accessing accommodations in fieldwork to understand how conceptions of disability relate to students' fieldwork experiences. Using a critical disability studies framework, we explored how HHS fieldwork education understands disability, accommodations and professional competence and what those understandings reveal about the discrepancy between mandated accommodations and what happens in practice.

Grain-boundary atomic structures of crystalline materials have long been believed to be commensurate with the crystal periodicity of the adjacent crystals. In the present study, we experimentally observed a Σ9 grain-boundary atomic structure of a bcc crystal (Fe-3%Si). It is found that the Σ9 grain-boundary structure is largely reconstructed and forms a dense packing of icosahedral clusters in its core.

Moral values in healthcare range widely between interest groups and are principally subjective. Disagreements diminish dialogue and marginalize alternative viewpoints. Extremely premature births exemplify how discord becomes unproductive when conflicts of interest, cultural misunderstanding, constrained evidence review, and peculiar hierarchy compete without the balance of objective standards of reason.
