Aliczki Manó: Kannabinoidkezelések a szorongásos zavarok terápiájában
Az 1990-es években fedezték fel az idegsejtek kommunikációját szabályozó ún. endokannabinoid rendszert, melyen keresztül a marijuana egyes hatóanyagai is kifejtik hatásaikat. A rendszer számos élettani és magatartási mechanizmus befolyásolása mellett bizonyítottan fontos szerepet tölt be az érzelmek és az azokhoz kötött magatartásformák kialakításában. Az utóbbi szerep kapcsán merült fel, hogy a rendszer gyógyszerekkel történő befolyásolásával gyógyíthatóvá válhatnak egyes érzelmekkel összefüggő mentális zavarok, elsősorban a szorongásos állapotok zavarai. Az esetleges terápiás lehetőségeket intenzíven tanulmányozni is kezdték, azonban a kedvező korai eredmények után a vizsgálatok sajnos megtorpantak, ugyanis komoly ellentmondásokhoz vezettek. Munkánkban az ellentmondások hátterét feltárva, új irányból megközelítve vizsgáljuk az endokannabinoidok szorongási hatásait, mely esetlegesen új terápiás lehetőségek kifejlesztéséhez is vezethet.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Educate Socially and
Emotionally Stable Children
By Dr. Raquel Castrodad, Ed.D.
Academic Director
Parents need to be “down-to-earth” in order to educate emotionally
stable children when facing a violent, intolerant, and aggressive
society.; one in which relativism runs rampant; where there is a lack of
empathy and compassion, and which promotes unhealthy values which
contradicts a healthy lifestyle.
that have ceased to be established for the well-being of our children.
Our children need to be children, play with their companions,
solve their own “problems”, and face their own youthful
challenges. They need parents to guide them and to be the first to
demonstrate respect for themselves and other adults.
I often hear questions from parents who, worried about this situation, Children need parents who will impose boundaries for their family
want to develop respectful and responsible citizens: How can I interactions, and who understand that the home is not a democracy;
discipline my children without affecting their self-esteem?
there are hierarchies and in that hierarchy the parents are above the
children. This is an important point for the social development of

another. They are not opposites. Discipline and self-esteem go hand
in hand! Limits give security.
A child who does not respect adults does not pay attention.
Effective discipline, without the sense of guilt that parents often feel, is
the extraordinary formula that helps youngsters become self-confident
and develop a healthy self-esteem. Children, by their nature, tend to
think they are the center of everything, that the world revolves around
them. This is why it is imperative that parents clearly see their children
as they truly are in order to maintain the proper balance in the
relationship. Parents must not allow them to control the relationship.
They must fulfill their obligations.
A child who does not pay attention does not follow instructions.
A child who does not follow instructions does NOT learn.
So, parents who desire their children to be excellent students should
teach them respect towards adults, beginning with their mother and
father. Definitely children need lots and lots of love. Thus, it is essential
that they receive sincere love AND it is also crucial that they be duly
disciplined when necessary.
Parents cannot effectively discipline their children if they have lost their The concept of self-esteem has been distorted by the willingness to

being implemented so that children do not lose their “self-esteem”.
This is like someone who sees the trees, but misses the forest.
For example:
The more we permit our children to live experiences and to obtain
achievements, by their own effort, (including that of letting them make
mistakes), the more we will help them construct their self-esteem and
their moral intelligence. Developing moral intelligence is a major
determining factor in the formation of a respectful citizen, and adds
value to the society of which he/she will belong.
For children to feel safe, parents assume full responsibility in fulfilling all
of their children’s requests, giving them what these ask for, and not
what they really need. This turns parents into their children's servants.
Parents assume responsibility for their child’s homework; carry their
book bags, control communication and relationships with peers and
teachers.
Violence, as well as self-control, is learned!
The modern social tendency defines good parenting as being involved
in everything. The working mother or father develops a certain feeling of
“guilt” because they feel that they are not present to adequately attend
the child, which leads to having the parent resolve all problems faced
by the child in order to avoid situations that might affect his/her selfesteem.
The earlier we begin to cultivate the moral capacity of children in a
conscious and planned manner, greater will be the successes in the
development of our society’s future leaders. In this way we would be
giving the foundation necessary for the formation of their character and
that they may grow thinking, believing, and acting morally.
A reality of our times is that adults are excessively involved in the

affairs of adults! Adults are not children and, above all, children are

not adults! This is the great difference between our society and the
famous days of our grandparents.
The social factors of the past that nourished the moral character of our
youth have disintegrated due to the lack of structure and boundaries
2. History Class Students work on Dioramas
A
s part of their work in Social Studies, 6th grade students from
Prof. Xiomara Roman’s History class worked to develop a
diorama. Students collaborated in groups to plan,
create, and build a geographic scene that demonstrated their
understanding of habitat and geography. When students learn
the topic and are allowed the freedom to use this knowledge to create,
the student internalizes the concept in a deeper manner. At Radians
School, we believe that students should use their knowledge to create.
What is sad to note is that the pervasive educational tradition has
worked to eliminate the creative process so necessary for our young
people to grow and develop properly. As educators, it is our
responsibility to allow the student the freedom and the opportunity to
express this creativity by providing them with the necessary
environment that fosters this type of thinking. Among the healthy
benefits of this philosophy of education is that the student learns to
love the educational process of which he is an active participant. Our
education professionals understand this point and the beneficiary of this
is the entire school community.
How Non-Traditional Education helps
Students Learn About the Library and Dictionaries
T
he dictionary is an important tool in any classroom. It is
an vital book that is mostly forgotten. That is why the
third grades (both Ms. Rios and Ms. Perez’s groups) are
arduously working with this wonderful tool. In complete
alignment with the course curriculm for this level, one of the
important objectives is for the student not only to remember
that the dictionary serves as an instrument to find meanings of
words we may not know, but also it is an excellent way to
enrich our student’s vocabulary. This week the students will be
involved in various activities which are all connected with the use
of the dictionary.
First, students will visit the library where they will have a
short conference by the school librarían, Prof. M.C. Alvarez
about the different types of dictionaries and how these are used.
Students will learn to classify words and put them in
alphabetical order. By means of fun activities and games, Prof.
Soqui Perez will help them work directly with dictionaries, as
students learn about guide words and meanings. To conclude we
will have a Trivia Challenge activity where students from both
third grade groups can socialize and compete against each other
in a healthy and safe competition where they apply what they
have learned in class.
3. High School NHS members serve the community
T
he National Honor Society,
High School Zafiro Chapter
dedicated the month of
August to the children. This being
the case, this past Friday, August
30th, 2013, the members of the
NHS shared several activities with
our pre-school students focused on
developing virtues, especially the
virtues of empathy, friendship,
enthusiasm, courtesy, respect, and responsbility.
Crafts, dramas, games , and songs were some of the
activities carried out to help our young students
understand the concepts.
By serving
others, NHS members come to
understand that they can make a difference in the
lives of others, and enrich their own lives in the
process. GREAT WORK NHS Zafiro Chapter!
High School Spanish Literature
Students Undertake Debate Activity
The past few days, the 11th grade has been undertaking a
series of oral reports with the purpose of sharing
information, debating diverse points of views and, in this
manner, developing their critical thinking skills while
applying the perspective of ethics.
Taking as a starting point the three fundamental themes in the
novel: “El Sueño de América” by Esmeralda Santiago: 1)Domestic
Violence, 2)Migration, and 3)the Marines in Vieques. The students then carried out the following activities:
Symposium on domestic violence
Panel discussion on how and why the U.S. Marines arrive
at Vieques; the realities and the consequences
Debate surrounding the issue of migration
The importance of analysis and critical thinking skills in these
types of activities underscore a crucial
part of the
institution’s mission: to help develop integral human beings. It
was an extremely productive educational experience where
one could evidence not only the academic excellence of our
students, but their evident character development as well.
