Does deliberate practice surpass didactic training in learning empathy skills? ...

A large body of research identifies therapist expressed empathy as one of the most important predictors of psychotherapy outcome. Deliberate practice (DP) is an effective method to improve skills in many fields. We asked if DP also can be used to enhance the skill of expressing empathy. Objective: The aim was to compare the efficacy of DP to didactical learning methods (DLM) in enhancing the skill of empathic e...

The Field Guide audio series: mobile learning using place-based and inquiry-led...

ABSTRACT: Facilitating the exploration of adolescents’ questions regarding nature is vital. Research suggests that their questions are important as they can reveal their interests in particular subjects and further guide their learning process. We designed a quasi-experimental study for 68 adolescents in an outdoor and indoor setting to assess the efficacy of the audio-learning materials in promoting their inte...

The relationship between lifelong learning and professional development activit...

Objective: A dispositional commitment to lifelong learning (LL) is an important aspect of continuing professional development for practicing psychotherapists. Equally important is the dedication of psychotherapists to engaging in professional development activities to foster growth and maintain competence. However, there are limited available data on the range of practices and factors influencing psychotherapis...

Potential of solid-state fermentation to enhance the nutritional value of oilse...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of solid-state fermentation (SSF) to enhance the nutritional value of oilseed cakes (OC) for poultry. To this end, firstly, we characterized the main nutrients and antinutritional factors in non-fermented OC and fermented OC, as well as in fermented and extracted OC, from where enzymatic extracts were recovered. The fermented and extracted OC represented...

Evaluation of biotechnological processing through solid-state fermentation of o...

Oilseed cakes (OC) are natural sources of lignocellulosic biomass, produced every year in large amounts. In addition to their main applications as animal feed, plant or soil fertilizer, and compost, they present enormous potential for being used in biotechnological processes for the obtainment and extraction of valuable bioactive compounds. This work evaluated the effect of solid-state fermentation on the bioac...

Degradation of lignocellulosic matrix of oilseed cakes by solid-state fermentat...

Vegetable oils are yearly produced in large amounts generating solid by-products, the oilseed cake (OC). OCs are lignocellulosic materials that have been used for animal feed with some limitations due to high fibre content from the plant cell walls. Biotechnological processes can help to overcome these limitations and contribute to up-grading such by-products, enhancing their nutritional value as feed ingredien...
