Introduction: The beginning of drug use usually occurs during the youth of people, due to reasons such as curiosity and the desire to experiment. Objective: The goal of this work was to analyze a selection of recent studies that address and highlight the intrinsic motives of curiosity and expansion linked to drug use. Method: A bibliographic search was performed with the purpose of selecting articles based on a series of established criteria. A total of 32 articles were included in the review for further assessment. Results: The intrinsic motive most frequently reported in the studies was curiosity (62.5%), followed by expansion motives (56.25%), which involve experimentation, self-exploration and the search for deeper understanding. Conclusions: The fact that curiosity is one of the main reasons for the initiation of drug use among the population is crucially important information for the development of programs that promote knowledge and dispel the uncertainty of young people, especially of those who are adolescents, since it is the vital stage in which the first contact with drugs usually occurs.

The article titled "The Foucault Experience. Distant Gaze, Present Gaze" analyzes the task of philosopher Michel Foucault to investigate the constitution of subjects and to think differently about truth. It emphasizes the importance of being attentive to the unknown and to power relations in our societies, as well as the need to revise the coordinates with which we move and think about new ways of living. The author reflects on the discomfort of being considered a philosopher and the importance of practicing curiosity in thought. It also discusses Foucault's work, its reception in his time, and the importance of analyzing the historical conditions and rationalities of current biopolitical devices. The need to resist and oppose established codes, to experiment and abandon "seriality" in order to make room for singularization, is proposed. Additionally, the importance of ethics and the ontology of one's own history is mentioned, as well as Foucault's focus on power and subjectivity. Finally, the importance of generating desirable and possible changes through practical experimentation and micropolitics as resistance in the current world is highlighted.

This study explores the media practices of Peruvian internet users based on their self- perceived educational level. The purpose is to provide an original theoretical perspective on the formation of media assemblages, shaped by the uses and interactions of specific social groups with media outlets. Utilizing a custom questionnaire, grounded in an updated version of the Uses and Gratifications Theory, administered to a sample (n=465) of users from various age groups and socioeconomic backgrounds, we examine the similarities and differences in these media assemblages and their impact on users' agency as critical media consumers. The results reveal that the national context, characterized by technological disparities and the COVID-19 pandemic, has influenced consumption practices. The smartphone stands out as the most widely used device, valued for its immediacy and diverse content. Both less educated and highly educated groups resort to it for information, education, and entertainment. Television also plays a significant role, serving as entertainment for older generations and a source of information for higher socioeconomic levels. The choice of streaming services among different income groups reflects the influence of connectivity and bandwidth. Information consumption is driven by curiosity, while entertainment is used for learning and following trends. Furthermore, there is little planning involved in entertainment and information consumption, although educational content is more planned among the highly educated group. This difference may be linked to access opportunities for educational materials, suggesting avenues for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the “Researchers’ Night” event in Santiago de Compostela on September 29, 2023, a public outreach activity focusing on archaeology was organized specifically for children. The activity involved the presentation of several boxes, each containing between 5 and 10 items, all related to the Roman period. The main objective was to provide participants with an interactive and educational experience. Visitors would choose a box and then embark on the task of identifying and describing its contents using a provided worksheet. Upon completing the worksheet, participants were prompted to reflect on the coherence and connections between the objects in the box, adding a problem-solving component to the activity. The selection of items linked to the Roman era allowed participants to immerse themselves in the historical context, fostering curiosity and interest in archaeology. The activity, while entertaining, also had an educational aspect by challenging participants to apply their knowledge and observation skills. The adaptability of the activity, with multiple boxes and items, offered variety and surprise, thus maintaining the audience’s interest. The revelation of the coherence of the collection at the end of the activity provided a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment for the participants, thereby enhancing the educational experience.

The analysis of Gabriela Mistral's poem Little Red Riding Hood is appealing since its composition confirms the insuperable quality of the author's poetic work. However, the fact that the story finds its origins in the European folklore and that it became known worldwide due to its modern versions (Perrault and the Brothers Grimm), turn the poem into a curiosity. The purpose of the analysis is to describe of the erotic dimension of the linguistic discursive resources used by Mistral to recreate the story and restore the meaning of the original text, probably recovering its reading as crime, shattered innocence, and the pain that it conveyed.

Teachers should apply new teaching strategies based on the critical thinking in the pedagogical process, which help to the communicative and cognitive skills development in order to break traditional shcemes. The objective of this research is to strengthen reading through strategies based on critical thinking in the fifth year of General Basic Education, located in la Matriz parish, Pujilí canton. The methodology was based on the interpretative approach and from this cualitative perspective allowed to understand the reality of the educative context because the search subjects' meanings were interpreted. Its methodological design is focused on the content analysis because the descriptive analysis was made to define categories throug the information reduction. The inductive method was applied and the technique was the observation. The results of the application of the practical class about critical thinking for reading show the story as a teaching strategy that provides the opportunity to learn in a different way than the traditional one because it generates interest, motivation and curiosity for reading, al lof these aspects are directed to the develoment of reasoning abilities.

This article originated from the research project Democracy, equality and disagreement: theoretical-methodological concepts from Jacques Rancière to envision education in the contemporary world. The project's main aim is to explore terms such as democracy, equality, and disagreement in the context of contemporary educational and political discourses. Emerging as an addendum to the research project, the paper sets out to examine some of the premises of Jacques Rancière that allow us to identify the political potentialities of childhood that emerge from the recognition of children's words and temporalities as forms of community experience. Our methodological perspective engendered a writing style that eliminates distance between the typical discourses of philosophers and the voices of children, with the intention of reaffirming the latent potential of the latter when thinking about philosophical issues. This exercise in non-hierarchical writing/reading demonstrates that children's words are not the reflection, nor the expression, nor the symbol of a higher theoretical reality, but that they allow thought to continue non-stop. As such, our objective is not to write about childhood, but with childhood; not to find the truth about childhood, but to take advantage of the power of children's voices to question common sense. In this way, the relationship between political conflict, equality, and the power of the child's word is established, demonstrating the capacity of the childish voice to renovate the sense and sensibility upon which society's concepts are based. Finally, it is argued that childhood is a form of subjectivity that experiments with temporality through the affirmation of intensities that are marked by curiosity and creativity. For this reason, the condition of childhood suggests a form of political experience that is capable of inventing multiple temporalities that subvert the order of domination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Journalists have a fundamental role in society as they oversee delivering pertinent, situated, timely, accurate and objective information in a readable way for a universal audience. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to know the vision that journalism students and journalists have regarding the qualities that a good social communicator must have in the exercise of their profession. The focus of this work is mixed, that is, qualitative and quantitative, and the analysis methodology is carried out through a lexical availability (LA) model in a sample of 104 participants, of which 52 are journalism students and 52 are journalists. The results obtained show that both students and journalists assign to a social communicator qualities associated with the value and affective domain, such as: honesty, responsibility, ethics, empathy and curiosity. The findings of this study reveal a professional conception close to the personal and value dimension over the thematic, theoretical, and technical one. Finally, considering this data, it is possible to direct the training itineraries of journalism students in order to strengthen the specialized aspects of the professional field to emphasize a disciplinary training that works jointly with theory and practice from an attitudinal approach.

A thesis can be an act of imagination. But, in many cases, the imagination ends up retracted under the structures and forms to which we suppose academic production should submit. In this text I share some creative incitements to awaken the imagination in the thesis production process. For that, I recover reflections around the procedures of aesthetic creation. The proposal aims to create research more concerned with curiosity -personal, political, epistemic and/or social-than with disciplinary demands. The article is structured around four assumptions: a) apparitions or generative images emerge in the fieldwork, b) writing allows us to reflect on these images, c) if they are approached collaboratively, these reflections enrich the conceptualization process, and d) the bad combinations -unexpected relationships between the field material-allow us to go deeper into the problem.

Paco Calvo's (2022) book "Planta Sapiens" offers a bold examination of plant intelligence and behaviour. It covers an array of topics at the intersection of botany and cognitive science, from the nervous system-like organisation of plants to the role of plants in inspiring a new paradigm in robotics. The author is ultimately concerned with the possibility of plant sentience, and "what it is like" to be a plant. In turn, Calvo considers the ethical implications of plant consciousness. The book leaves plenty of room for scepticism, especially regarding the basis for attributing sentience to plants. Nevertheless, it is an exciting invitation to explore the plant kingdom from a fresh perspective, rooted equally in scientific research and philosophical curiosity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The text revision of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) was published in March 2022. The publication of each version of the DSM generates immediate reactions that increase curiosity, open new (and old) debates and promote discussion among different sectors. In this article we present a summary of the main historical background of the DSM, as well as the criticisms and reflections that have arisen around the publication of each manual. In addition, we present the main changes included in the DSM-5-TR compared to the DSM-5. Lastly, we make final remarks on whether the publication of a new version of the DSM was necessary or not.

Among the wide variety of experiences linked to academic work, there are some intense affective experiences that are more directly related to the conceptual development that the learners will achieve because they are intrinsically linked to the activity displayed during the acquisition of knowledge, such is the case of curiosity, confusion and surprise. These epistemic emotions that occur during learning activities are aimed at the conceptual content of the individual's beliefs. The objective of this work is to theoretically explore the idea that the conceptual development that occurs in educational contexts depends on the development of an affective tendency with an intersubjective base that serves as a background to the advent of epistemic emotions in social learning situations. The confidence with which a learning situation is faced is a general tendency (an epistemic attitude) fruit of the individual's trajectory that functions as a background for the activities in which knowledge is acquired. An adequate understanding of the relationships between epistemic emotions, confidence and knowledge can generate ideas that promote the consolidation of this attitude as a facet of learning in school. As pedagogical implications of this conceptual model, some common epistemic emotional patterns are presented in asymmetrical relationships between teachers and children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The serial narrative strategies, both in massive media (like television and movies) and editorial products, are increasingly popular between spectators and creators; due to this, the studies regarding them are gaining importance. The main goal in this article is to trace what narrative strategies are used by the Mexican author Bernardo Esquinca in his book series known as the Casasola saga, four novels create an interdependent book series that depends on one another and provokes curiosity in the reader to continue their reading. For this, works by various specialists on seriality that have set the bases for the subject will be used. Moreover, the aspects of fantasy and terror that these novels use and which have gained editorial success, will be highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The text presents two book reviews in the magazine Diánoia. The first review is about the book "Medicine and Healing in the Premodern West. A History in Documents" by Winston Black, which showcases the medical traditions that preceded contemporary Western medicine. The second review is about the book "La belleza de la metafísica" by Jean Grondin, which defends an understanding of metaphysics as a vivid experience of the beauty of the world. Grondin argues that beauty plays a central role in hermeneutic ontology and seeks to awaken philosophical curiosity about why we find the world we inhabit beautiful. [Extracted from the article]

The book "Jardinosophy. A philosophical history of gardens" written by Santiago Beruete explores the relationship between gardens and philosophy. The author uses the term "Jardino-sofía" to describe this confluence. The book examines the influence of Plato's Academy, which was established in a place similar to a garden, as well as the influence of Italian philosopher Rosario Assunto on thinking about gardens, landscapes, and nature. The author highlights the importance of the garden as a eutopian space for self-care and for doing philosophy, and mentions authors such as Henry David Thoreau, Gilles Clément, and Yi-Fu Tuan, who defend the perspective of nature against the State and society. The book is part of a trilogy that includes "Verdolatry. Nature teaches us to be human" and "Aprendivoros. Cultivating curiosity." [Extracted from the article]
