Communication: Essential Element at International Centers

The first international agricultural research center began operations less than 20 years ago. Not even the most optimistic and enthusiastic supporter of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), the first center, would have dared to dream, let alone predict, either its dramatic success or the consequences for peoples and other commodities around the world

Dilemmas of the Communication Consultant Abroad

The use of offensive language by middle school students in the special education classroom: Student and staff perspectives

Students\u27use of offensive language often leads to behavioral problems, such as fights, that impede learning in the classroom environment. Through comparing and contrasting the perspectives of students and staff in a program for middle school students with emotional and/or behavioral disorders, this research seeks to understand why students use offensive language. Both students and staffwere interviewed. The students were sixth and eighth graders who spend 60-100% of their time in school in a special education classroom. The staff who were interviewed include special education teachers, an educational assistant, a teacher in the mainstream program, and a school psychologist. All of the staff work frequently with the students who were interviewed. This research finds that the name of the specific program is used as an insult, and that the use of the program name as an insult negatively affects students in a way that other insults do not. Recommendations for addressing this issue include structuring programs to be more equitable and teaching students and staff to be more tolerant of students with disabilities

Gravity and non-gravity mediated couplings in multiple-field inflation

Mechanisms for the generation of primordial non-Gaussian metric fluctuations in the context of multiple-field inflation are reviewed. As long as kinetic terms remain canonical, it appears that nonlinear couplings inducing non-gaussianities can be split into two types. The extension of the one-field results to multiple degrees of freedom leads to gravity mediated couplings that are ubiquitous but generally modest. Multiple-field inflation offers however the possibility of generating non-gravity mediated coupling in isocurvature directions that can eventually induce large non-Gaussianities in the metric fluctuations. The robustness of the predictions of such models is eventually examined in view of a case study derived from a high-energy physics construction.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, invited review for CQG issue on non-linear cosmolog
