What does ‘brain dead’ really mean? The battle over how science defines the end of life
Ideological differences threaten to muddy the definition of death in the United States – with potentially negative consequences for clinicians and people awaiting organ transplants. • Max Kozlov • Published on 11 July 2023
Dead in California but alive in New Jersey: that was the status of 13-year-old Jahi McMath after physicians in Oakland, California, declared her brain dead in 2013, after complications from a tonsillectomy. Unhappy with the care that their daughter received and unwilling to remove life support, McMath’s family moved with her to New Jersey, where the law allowed them to lodge a religious objection to the declaration of brain death and keep McMath connected to life-support systems for another four and a half years. Prompted by such legal discrepancies and a growing number of lawsuits around the United States, a group of neurologists, physicians, lawyers and bioethicists is attempting to harmonize state laws surrounding the determination of death. They say that imprecise language in existing laws – as well as research done since the laws were passed – threatens to undermine public confidence in how death is defined worldwide. “It doesn’t really make a lot of sense,” says Ariane Lewis, a neurocritical care clinician at NYU Langone Health in New York City. “Death is something that should be a set, finite thing. It shouldn’t be something that’s left up to interpretation.” Since 2021, a committee in the Uniform Law Commission (ULC), a non-profit organization in Chicago, Illinois, that drafts model legislation for states to adopt, has been revising its recommendation for the legal determination of death. The drafting committee hopes to clarify the definition of brain death, determine whether consent is required to test for it, specify how to handle family objections and provide guidance on how to incorporate future changes to medical standards. The broader membership of the ULC will offer feedback on the first draft of the revised law at a meeting on 26 July. After members vote on it, the text could be ready for state legislatures to consider by the middle of next year.

HOW IMPORTANT IS TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION?
Technology provides students with easy-toaccess information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn.
By Rambabu Dixit
1.The Meaning of Education
Knowledge, learning, and information: the word "education" is used in the English language and is derived from the Latin word "educatum" which means "teaching work." Some great scholars have attributed its origin to "educare" which means "to raise."
1.a. Narrow Meaning
This is the education given to the child in the school. The place, duration, curriculum, etc. of such education is fixed. In this sense, the person's school life is their education. Mackenzie has written: "In a narrow sense, education refers to the conscious efforts made for the development and promotion of our powers."
1.b. Broader Meaning
In this sense, education is a lifelong process by which a person develops their overall personality, social interactions, and their ability to adjust to their environment.
2.The Meaning of Technology
The use of scientific inventions, rules, principles, and processes in different aspects of life comes under the use of technology. Many types of technologies exist, including educational technology. In other words, the application of scientific principles to different areas of life is called technology. Therefore, when scientific, orderly, and well-organized knowledge is used to do daily work, then it is given the name of technology. The word "technology" is usually associated with machines, but it is not necessary that machines should always be used.
3.The Meaning of Educational Technology
When scientific, technical, and psychological principles and methods are properly used to make the teaching/learning process easy, simple, efficient, and effective, it comes under the umbrella term “educational technology”. Today, scientific and technological inventions have affected every aspect of human life. Education, teaching, and learning have also been greatly affected by them. In the field of education, as a result of the latest research, discoveries, and investigations, such techniques (i.e., skills) have been developed, which are helping in achieving the objectives of education. These competencies and skills, which are especially based on science, are given the name of educational technology.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rarely out of the news - especially during these challenging times, when AI has been suggested as a tool to help end the COVID-19 pandemic. However, many people do not have a full understanding of what AI actually means, how it works, or how it might help.
Today UNESCO and Ericsson are proud to launch the Teaching AI for K-12 Portal. This portal will provide a repository of resources for all educators around the world. The aim is to help curriculum developers and teachers to better understand the promise and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and to develop AI curriculum for, and teach AI to, students in grades K-12 (ages 5 to 18 years old).

Sprowston mother in stand-off with school over bullying
By David HannantDHannant87Specialist reporter: health and education
A Sprowston mother is locked in a stand-off with her daughter's school after keeping her at home for the past six weeks to avoid what she describes as "brutal" bullying.
Rebecca Everson says the treatment her 12-year-old daughter Phoebe suffers has become so severe that the youngster has been left "a shell of a girl".
She says the Year 8 Sprowston Community Academy pupil is subjected to cruel messages on social media platforms like Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat and has abuse hurled at her by classmates regularly.
After raising her concerns with school leaders, Ms. Everson said her daughter's issues only got worse so for the past six weeks she has refused to send her in. However, she now claims the school is threatening her with fines over Phoebe's attendance record.
She said: "The bullying Phoebe has suffered has been awful. They send her messages calling her every name under the sun. It is brutal.
"I have rung the school and told them she does not feel safe at school and requested work to be sent home for her, but they have done nothing."
Ms. Everson the issue started in October last year, which she reported to Phoebe's teachers.
She said: "The school said they would talk to the girls involved, but when they did it just aggravated the situation.
"Some of the girls involved in the cyberbullying attend other schools nearby too, so moving schools is just not viable.
"Phoebe is a shell of the girl she was before this all began. She has done nothing to deserve this but now she's terrified to even go to school.
"I just feel like I'm going around and around in circles trying to get something done - it's terribly awful."
Sprowston Community Academy was approached for comment but said the school was unable to comment on individual cases.
