Auf der Basis von 15 Gruppeninterviews 2021-22 mit Jugendlichen in säkularen,alevitischen, sunnitischen, protestantischen und katholischen Gruppen in Tirol,Vorarlberg, Oberösterreich und Niederösterreich, wird nach dem empirischen Ortreligiöser Vielfalt in der Lebenswelt von Jugendlichen gefragt, die in ländlichenRegionen Österreichs leben. Schule wird von den Jugendlichen als zentraler Kontaktortemit religiöser Vielfalt beschrieben, wobei die Teilnahme am Religionsunterrichtder Marker religiöser Differenz ist und die Kontakte meist als marginalund informationsbasiert wahrgenommen werden.

The current article details a position statement and recommendations for future research and practice on planning and implementation intentions in health contexts endorsed by the Synergy Expert Group. The group comprised world-leading researchers in health and social psychology and behavioural medicine who convened to discuss priority issues in planning interventions in health contexts and develop a set of recommendations for future research and practice. The expert group adopted a nominal groups approach and voting system to elicit and structure priority issues in planning interventions and implementation intentions research. Forty-two priority issues identified in initial discussions were further condensed to 18 key issues, including definitions of planning and implementation intentions and 17 priority research areas. Each issue was subjected to voting for consensus among group members and formed the basis of the position statement and recommendations. Specifically, the expert group endorsed statements and recommendations in the following areas: generic definition of planning and specific definition of implementation intentions, recommendations for better testing of mechanisms, guidance on testing the effects of moderators of planning interventions, recommendations on the social aspects of planning interventions, identification of the preconditions that moderate effectiveness of planning interventions and recommendations for research on how people use plans.

Prior to 2011, Year 8 students studied a single film as text, "Yolngu Boy." This had been on the syllabus for several years, and the consensus was that it was time to review the unit, refresh the text and introduce multiple film texts that would present varying visions and perspectives of notions of what it is to be "Australian". The authors aimed to introduce their students to a selection of films with an Indigenous focus to challenge existing ideas about Australian identity. The title of the unit, "New Visions", reflects this aim. "Yolngu Boy" is an age-appropriate, rich Australian text that examined the coming-of-age themes common to the bildungsroman within a cultural frame quite alien to most of the students, so they did not intend to remove it completely from the syllabus. However, it was agreed that a whole unit (which equates to between eight and 10 weeks) based on one film was unlikely to fully engage, challenge or sufficiently broaden the perspectives of the students.

Evaluating rare disease interventions poses challenges for HTA agencies, including uncertainties and ethical issues and tensions. INESSS has recently adopted a Statement of Principles and Ethical Foundations which proposes a multidimensional approach to value appraisal as well as five principles to frame the evaluation process. Our aim was to identify and analyze HTA challenges for appraising interventions for rare diseases, using the Statement's approach to value appraisal as an analytical framework, and outline how the Statement's principles can help address these challenges. Challenges, covering a diversity of aspects, were identified by leveraging institutional experience in diverse domains of expertise and consolidated through narrative literature review. Challenges were categorized by value dimension (clinical, populational, economic, organizational, and sociocultural), which allowed to pinpoint how each challenge affects the ability to appraise the value of an intervention. Key ethical tensions across dimensions were also identified. Specific approaches to addressing these challenges – related to knowledge mobilization and integration, deliberation, and recommendation-making – were outlined on the basis of the principles promulgated in the Statement. A multidimensional approach can be fruitful for analyzing challenges for appraising the value of rare disease interventions and help guide approaches to tackle them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
