The Pandemic and the Pre-School to Prison Pipeline: A Public-School Teacher\u27s Perspective

We simply do not have access to best practices for leading, teaching, and learning during a pandemic, as this experience is new. Quarantining, social distancing, teaching remotely, and learning from home have taught us so much about the endless possibilities of education. In this commentary, I share my perspective, as a public school teacher, on the connection between learning strategies implemented during the pandemic and the School-to-Prison Pipeline

Contrasts and reflection : social work fieldwork supervision in Brazil and England

This article compares field supervision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to practices in a major city in England in order to contextualize the academic training of students. It considers practical dimensions and incorporates a qualitative study carried out in England exploring how the process of supervision in social work affects student learning and development from the supervisor’s perspective. In the study, particular attention is paid to field support provided to students and to practice educator qualifications. The results support the importance of placement supervision and the role of practice educators and supervisors in the overall social work education process

Social Security for Migrant Workers: The EU, ILO & Treaty Based Regimes

Book Chapter Social Security for Migrant Workers: The EU, ILO & Treaty Based Regimes, in 9 International Law: Revista Colombiana de Derecho Internacional 45 (Diana Carolina Olarte Bacarés, ed., 2007) ISSN: 1692-8156 Migrant workers face special problems in terms of qualifying for, and receiving payment under, national social security systems. In an effort to mitigate these problems, many states coordinate their social security systems. This paper explores how coordination schemes work in regional mechanisms such as the European Union, in international conventions adopted by the International Labour Organisation, and in multi-lateral treaties such as the Andean Social Security Instrument.https://scholarship.law.nd.edu/law_books/1252/thumbnail.jp

The Hot R Coronae Borealis Star DY Centauri is a Binary

The remarkable hot R Coronae Borealis (RCB) star DY Cen is revealed to be the first and only binary system to be found among the RCB stars and their likely relatives, including the extreme helium stars and the hydrogen-deficient carbon stars. Radial velocity determinations from 1982 to 2010 have shown that DY Cen is a single-lined spectroscopic binary in an eccentric orbit with a period of 39.67 days. It is also one of the hottest and most H-rich member of the class of RCB stars. The system may have evolved from a common envelope to its current form.Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness AYA-2011-27754McDonald Observator

Managed Care: Ethical Considerations for Counselors

Key factors and trends in health care will have an impact on the ethical practice of counselors. Ethical challenges to clinical practice presented by trends in managed care are discussed in relation to the American Counseling Association (1995) Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. Recommendations for practice are also included

Establishing criterion validity for the French version of the Screening BAT: A comparison of 30 aphasic patient's performance on the Screening BAT and the MT-­‐86 alpha and beta

International audienceThe aim of the present study was to provide data on the validity of the Screening BAT through the comparison of the scores of 30 French aphasic patients on the French version of the Screening BAT with the scores obtained on the Montreal-Toulouse Protocol (MT86) in its long and short version (M1-alpha and M1-bêta). The MT86-alpha is a short version which has been standardised with 60 healthy participants (Dordain et al. 1983). The MT86-bêta is a more detailed test battery and has been standardised in several steps between 1990 and 1993 (Béland & Lecours, 1990; Béland et al, 1993). The M1-bêta still is the standard for aphasia assessment in large parts of France, Belgium and francophone Canada, while the M1-alpha is frequently used with patients in the acute phase. Both tests are based on a large choice of task involving all linguistic levels and modalities, very similar to the BAT and the Screening BAT. For the present study, 30 aphasic patients in the chronic phase (without specific knowledge of other languages) were recruited in order to be able to respond to the long version of the MT-86-bêta. Patients had a mean age of 66,4 years (ranging from 49-88, SD 12,89), there were 17 men and 13 women and most of them (except 4) had more than 9 years of education. 22 were affected by non-fluent aphasia, 8 by fluent aphasia. Mean onset of aphasia was 5 years (ranging from 8 month to 25 years and one month). All patients responded to the French version of the Screening BAT and the M1-alpha in one session, to the M1-beta in another session. Sessions 1 and 2 were counterbalanced across participants and conducted with an interval of minimum 2 and maximum 8 weeks. We present correlations obtained between the three tests and between the subtests included in each. The discussion will focus on the patients’ linguistic profile established with the three tests
