Improving Students’ Social Participation in Primary and Secondary Schools Across Europe

This handbook is the product of collaboration within the “FRIEND-SHIP—Improving Students’ Social Participation in Primary and Secondary Schools Across Europe” Project, funded by the European Commission—Erasmus+ Programme, Project No.: 2019-1-AT01-KA201-05 1226. One of the main outputs of this Project consisted of the development of the FRIEND-SHIP Program, a school-based intervention aimed at improving social participation of all students between 8 and 11 years of age. The FRIEND-SHIP Program is intended to be implemented by teachers and consists of 12 sessions, each with the duration of 45–60 minutes, implemented twice a week over six weeks. The activities that comprise this program are essentially experiential. Students are invited to take an active and involved role by participating in group activities, role-playing, social stories, arts, and physical activities. The main purpose of this handbook is to support teachers in implementing the FRIEND-SHIP program with their classes. This handbook is divided in three parts: • CHAPTERS 1, 2 and 3 cover background information about social participation and inclusion, as well as the description of the target audience of this handbook and the digital tool for evaluating the FRIEND-SHIP Program effects. • CHAPTER 4 covers the FRIEND-SHIP Intervention Program, including guiding principles, aims, and detailed descriptions of sessions. • CHAPTER 5 covers the information gathered with the implementation of the FRIEND-SHIP Intervention Program throughout the Project life.This handbook is the product of collaboration within the “FRIEND-SHIP—Improving Students’ Social Participation in Primary and Secondary Schools Across Europe” Project, funded by the European Commission—Erasmus+ Programme, Project No.: 2019-1-AT01-KA201-05 1226.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Perioperative thirst: an analysis from the perspective of the Symptom Management Theory

A theoretical study aimed to analyze the existing knowledge in the literature on the perioperative thirst symptom from the perspective of Symptom Management Theory, and supplemented with the experience of the study group and thirst research. Thirst is described as a very intense symptom occurring in the perioperative period, and for this reason it cannot be ignored. The Symptom Management Theory is adequate for understanding the thirst symptom and is a deductive theory, focused on the domains of the Person, Environment and Health / Illness Status, as well as on the dimensions of Experience, Management Strategies and Symptom Outcomes. Using the theory leads us to consider perioperative thirst in its multifactorial aspects, analyzing the interrelation of its domains and dimensions in order to draw attention to this symptom that has been insufficiently valued, recorded and treated in clinical practice

A pathway to a stronger research culture in health policy

There are currently limited pathways into a career in health policy research in Australia, due in part to a serious absence of health policy research capability in Australian universities. The authors define what they consider health policy research and education should comprise, then examine what is currently on offer and propose ways to strengthen health policy research in Australia. This paper, which is part analysis and part commentary, is offered to provoke wider debate about how health policy research can be nurtured in Australia

INTRODUÇÃO Este manual é o produto da colaboração desenvolvida no âmbito do projeto "FRIEND-SHIP – Improving Students’ Social Participation in Primary and Secondary Schools across Europe", financiado pela Comissão Europeia – Programa Erasmus+, Referência: 2019-1-AT01-KA201-05 1226. Um dos principais resultados deste projeto consistiu no desenvolvimento do Programa FRIEND-SHIP, uma intervenção escolar cujo objetivo é aumentar a participação social de todos os alunos entre os 8 e os 11 anos. O Programa FRIEND-SHIP destina-se a ser implementado por professores e consiste em 12 sessões, cada uma com a duração de 45-60 minutos, implementadas duas vezes por semana, ao longo de seis semanas. As atividades que compõem este programa são essencialmente experimentais. Os alunos são convidados a envolverem-se e a assumirem um papel ativo, participando em atividades de grupo, dramatizações, histórias sociais, atividades físicas e atividades relacionadas com as artes. O principal objetivo deste manual é apoiar os professores na implementação do Programa FRIEND-SHIP com as suas turmas.Projeto financiado pela Comissão Europeia – Programa Erasmus+, Referência: 2019-1-AT01-KA201-05 1226info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Search for large missing transverse momentum in association with one top-quark in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This paper describes a search for events with one top-quark and large missing transverse momentum in the final state. Data collected during 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS experiment from 13 TeV proton–proton collisions at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 are used. Two channels are considered, depending on the leptonic or the hadronic decays of the W boson from the top quark. The obtained results are interpreted in the context of simplified models for dark-matter production and for the single production of a vector-like T quark. In the absence of significant deviations from the Standard Model background expectation, 95% confidence-level upper limits on the corresponding production cross-sections are obtained and these limits are translated into constraints on the parameter space of the models considered

A case report of successful treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis, and review of the literature

Background: Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) is a cutaneous condition, its diagnosis suggested by the presence of a painful cutaneous ulcer showing rapid progression. Pyoderma gangrenosum is associated with a concomitant systemic disease in 50 to 70% of cases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis, and lymphoproliferative disorders. Although PG has also been reported with viral hepatitis, it is rarely associated with autoimmune hepatitis. Case presentation: A 19-year-old Caucasian female, with a prior diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in remission, presented with bilateral lower limb ulcers 4years after the diagnosis of AIH. She was diagnosed with PG and treated with high-dose prednisolone, methotrexate and cyclosporine. One year later she was well, the ulcers completely healed, and with the autoimmune hepatitis still in remission. Conclusion: We report a case of autoimmune hepatitis and the subsequent, rarely occurring, extra-hepatic onset of pyoderma gangrenosum, with the AIH in remission, strengthening the association between the two conditions. Since both the AIH and the PG can present serious diagnostic challenges, thus delaying vital therapy, it is important that the development of either prompts us to consider the possibility of the other developing in the future or if already present facilitate its diagnosis, such considerations making the case for a systematic follow up. © 2015 Androutsakos et al

Eosinophilic fasciitis with thrombocytopenia and dupuytren's contracture

Eosinophilic fasciitis was originally described by Shulman in 1974 (1). This disorder combines symmetric inflammation and sclerosis of the deep fascia, joint cantractures, polyarthritis, lung involvement, hypergammaglobulinemia, eosinophilia, thrombocytopenia and blood dysplasias (2-4, 6, 7). In the present report a patient with eosinophilic fasciitis who subsequently developed thrombocytopenia and Dupuytren's contracture is described. © 1990 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted
