Faculty members' social identities and classroom authority

How do faculty members' social group identities influence their choices about how they present themselves and their course materials? How do these identities affect student responses to them and the material they present?Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/57349/1/281_ftp.pd

The effect of diagnostic label on care staff’s perceptions of cause of challenging behaviour in individuals with learning disabilities

Background: This study investigated whether care staff’s causal attributions and emotional reactions to the challenging behaviour displayed by service users was influenced by the service user’s diagnostic label. Materials and Method: One hundred and twenty care staff were randomly allocated to one of three conditions. Participants viewed a video of a senior staff member describing a service user, varying only in diagnostic label (autism, learning disability or Down syndrome). Participants then rated their endorsement of possible causes and emotional reactions to challenging behaviour. Results: Participants in the Autism and Down syndrome groups made more use of biomedical causes and less use of learned behaviour as an explanation for challenging behaviour than those in the Learning Disabilities group. Those in the former groups reported more positive and fewer negative emotions than those in the Learning Disabilities group. Conclusions: The way staff viewed people with learning disabilities was affected by their diagnostic label. Implications for further research and training has been discussed

Calcium-dependent in vitro interaction between bovine adrenal medullary cell membranes and chromaffin granules as a model for exocytosis

The new batch of Working Documents based on studies undertaken for CTA include an analysis of functional literacy (see Spore 88), and a set of two case studies on small-scale food processing of cassava and maize in Congo and Cameroon respectively. For those keen to sharpen their skills in evaluating the impact of agricultural information, a new Working Document provides a selective review of the issues and the relevant literature. Its illustrative case studies include the Caribbean and Botswana.

Counting Exceptional Instantons

We show how to obtain the instanton partition function of N=2 SYM with exceptional gauge group EFG using blow-up recursion relations derived by Nakajima and Yoshioka. We compute the two instanton contribution and match it with the recent proposal for the superconformal index of rank 2 SCFTs with E6, E7 global symmetry.Comment: 16 pages, references adde
