Poetry has only relatively recently been used as a tool of social research and has been used in various ways throughout the research process. The most popular application of poetry includes its use as a tool of data representation and presentation. The use of research poems in social work has been taken up by the authors in the past five years. This refers to a postmodern perspective on research that uses various forms of poetry to represent the lived experience of social work clients. Rich Furman's work in particular has focused on the use ...

The article is devoted to the experimental testing of aesthetic competence of future philologists by means of ethnology. The principles (national character, humanization, ethnicization, cultural conformity, integration) are considered and stages of model implementation (orientative, training, creative) are elaborated and characterized. Structural and functional components, criteria and indicators of the levels of forming the future philologists' aesthetic competence are defined. The characteristic of levels of aesthetic competence development in philology students (reproductive, constructive, creative) is given. The characteristics of the levels with the help of the coefficient of tasks completeness related to knowledge, skills and abilities for aesthetic competence development of the philology students by means of ethnology were determined. The paper concludes by calling attention to the enhancement of the educational process forms and methods in order to develop the aesthetic ...

The meeting between cultural anthropology and mass media is, in fact, a meeting between an object of research and a scientific discipline. In such a situation, the discipline brings with it certain delineations, a number of investigating methods, and a group of relatively specific concepts and theories. In the case of media anthropology, the fact that various researchers do not

Abstract: Environmental exposures are recognized risk factors for cancer etiology, but substantial gaps in knowledge remain, particularly regarding associations with emerging chemical exposures, underlying biological mechanisms of disease, and risk to racial/ethnic minority and understudied populations. Exposures are complex due to the numerous mixtures in the environment, fluctuations over time, and different routes of exposure, all of which affect understanding of cancer risk. Additional gaps include the impact of exposures on carcinogenesis during critical biologically relevant life stages. To address these gaps, in September 2021, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in collaboration with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) launched the Cohorts for Environmental Exposures and Cancer Risk (CEECR) program. CEECR supports five new large-scale population-based prospective cohort studies for six years to address the impacts of a broad range of environmental exposures on intermediate cancer biomarkers and cancer risk, leveraging innovative approaches and technologies for recruitment and exposure measures. These cohort studies range from 10,000 to 100,000 participants and are being conducted in California, Minnesota, Michigan, and several southeastern states in the Unites States. The CEECR program has great potential to fill gaps in our understanding of environmental factors and cancer etiology across multiple populations.
