AI Article Synopsis
- Part II emphasizes participatory education (PE) as an active approach to learning, focusing on developing individual cognitive potential rather than passively receiving information.
- The text outlines the foundational beliefs of PE, including the importance of critical thinking, personal knowledge creation, and life experiences as essential for reflection and cognition.
- It critiques medical education for mostly adhering to passive learning methods and highlights the necessity of enhancing cognitive and practical skills to encourage a more inclusive and sustainable future.
Article Abstract
Part II is focused on participatory education (PE), a distinctive way to understand and practice education in contrast to passive education. The core of PE is to develop everyone's own cognitive potentialities frequently mutilated, neglected or ignored. Epistemological and experiential basis of PE are defined: the concept of incisive and creative criticism, the idea of knowledge as each person's own construct and life experience as the main focus of reflection and cognition. The PE aims towards individuals with unprecedented cognitive and creative faculties, capable of approaching a more inclusive and hospitable world. The last part criticizes the fact that medical education has remained among the passive education paradigm. The key role of cognitive aptitudes, both methodological and practical (clinical aptitude), in the progress of medical education and practice is emphasized. As a conclusion, the knowhow of education is discussed, aiming towards a better world away from human and planetary degradation.

Background: Scientific investigations underscore the cognitive, psychological, and social benefits of cognitive stimulation for aged individuals, yet rigorous long-term studies remain limited.
Method: This abstract outlines the methods and initial participant characteristics of a controlled, randomized clinical trial on cognitive stimulation. A total of 578 aged individuals responded to the study call, with 362 meeting eligibility criteria.

University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: This study investigated the effects of cognitive stimulation on older adults over 18 months through a randomized clinical trial with 190 participants divided into Training Group (TG), Active Control Group (ACG), and Passive Control Group (PCG). Initial sociodemographic characterization (Table 1) ensured homogeneity among the groups. The clinical trial design aimed to assess the long-term impacts of multicompartment cognitive stimulation on the cognitive function of older adults in the TG.

However, it is currently unknown what covariates are relevant when interpreting smartphone sensor data. We aimed to clarify which intrinsic and extrinsic factors are associated with digital phenotyping versus traditional cognitive measures in a cohort of older adults.

It is currently unknown whether increased IIV in everyday behaviors may also lend added sensitivity to detect early subtle changes seen in pre-clinical ADRD.
Methods: In a pilot smartphone digital phenotyping study, 34 participants (M = 71.
Flexible Passive Wireless Sensing Platform with Frequency Mapping and Multimodal Fusion.

As one of the core parts of the Internet-of-things (IOTs), multimodal sensors have exhibited great advantages in fields such as human-machine interaction, electronic skin, and environmental monitoring. However, current multimodal sensors substantially introduce a bloated equipment architecture and a complicated decoupling mechanism. In this work we propose a multimodal fusion sensing platform based on a power-dependent piecewise linear decoupling mechanism, allowing four parameters to be perceived and decoded from the passive wireless single component, which greatly broadens the configurable freedom of a sensor in the IOT.
