In the European arena of academic education, a structured and conscious change in teaching and learning processes is on process [1,2]. More innovative and dynamic learning environments, linking education to robust formal and non-formal methodologies, are being applied in various contexts. However, for multifactorial reasons the student-centred learning, outlined by the Bologna process, remains under-developed and the promotion of active and meaningful learning is far away from reaching its full potential.

The study explores the mind of the shopper from the inside out, focusing on motives and interests emerging from the respondent’s own perception of herself with respect to an ideal skincare shopping experience. A Mind Genomics cartography (experiment) investigated the phrases that a female cosmetic shopper would use to describe herself in terms of the ultimate skincare shopping experience. Respondents evaluated sixty-three unique vignettes, created from 35 different phases, vignettes created according to a permuted experimental design. The analysis focused on the discovery of ‘mind-sets’, groups of respondents who showed similar patterns in the element which they felt best escribed them. Three mind-sets emerged: Ebullient, Insecure, and Perfectionist, respectively. A second analysis (scenario analysis) looked at the way five different emotional outcomes (e.g., pleasurable, informative) interacted with the remaining elements. Four of the five emotional outcomes (pleasurable, informative, glamorizing, and therapeutic) interacted with other element, but only among two mind-sets (Ebullient, Perfectionists). There were no interactions for the third mind-set, Insecure, or interactions when the emotional outcome was stated as ‘transformative.’ The paper shows the potential of deep analysis when the data are collected in a systematized fashion, using permutable experimental designs, and individual-level modeling.

We live in a society focused on beauty, whether beauty of the face or of the body, occasionally of the spirit and even of the mind. Whereas among the ancients and their successors in the medieval and modern worlds the search for physical beauty was both artistic and philosophical, today it manifests itself in the world of cosmetics and the world of fitness. One can barely drive through a town, a city, even a rural area without seeing stores devoted to making people more beautiful.

Objectives: The main objective of this commentary is to provide an updated insight into the wearing of facemasks and its effectiveness as a public health measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019. Study Design: Current data on masks as protective equipment and new mask guidance was surveyed, as provided by different studies and reports from different countries. Methods: The authors identified several key publications on indications about the utility of facemask wearing were introduced across affected countries since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Despite the constant lack of consistency in facemask wearing policies, empirical observations back up that facemasks have proven to be beneficial for protection of both healthcare workers and the public to prevent COVID-19 spread. Conclusions: When masks are worn and combined with other recommended mitigation measures, they protect not only the most vulnerable population, but the whole community. Recommendations for masks will likely keep varying as more is learned about various mask types and as the pandemic evolves. With the emergence of more transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants, it is even more important to adopt widespread mask wearing until effective levels of vaccination are achieved.
