Estimating the costs of gender-based violence in the European Union

The purpose of the study is to identify and recommend appropriate methodologies to measure the cost of gender-based and intimate partner violence in EU-28 Member States. To define gender-based and intimate partner violence for this study we draw on the definitions advanced by the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women (UN 1993) and Council of Europe (2011) respectively. These authorities focus on the forms of violence, violence perpetrated by intimate partners and other family members (domestic violence) and sexual violence that are disproportionality perpetrated against and disproportionality impact women

Instructional Coaching with Adult Basic Education’s English Language Learner Instructors

The purpose of this literature review is to examine the changing role of professional development and to consider the possibility of using instructional coaching in the field of adult basic literacy instruction. One concept the literature discussed is what professional development models are beneficial for teachers of adult English Language Learners. The literature provided a deeper understanding about instructional coaching as a professional development option and how schools could utilize this model to support the instructional needs of teachers. Another idea that the literature addressed is how instructional coaching can strengthen the quality of instruction in adult education. If one goal of professional development is to strengthen the quality of instruction, then that might logically lead to an increase in students’ learning, skills, and achievement. Also, the literature led to further consideration about what instructional coaching methods would work well to support learning in adult English Language Learners. This literature review focused on instructional coaching in the context of adult English language instruction and learning because many adult basic education programs aim to provide high-quality professional development for their teachers and educational opportunities for their students

The Potential for Using Environmental Education Field Trips Based on the Current Attitudes and Practices of K-5 Teachers in Marshalltown, Iowa

In today\u27s world it\u27s easy to feel like a god. We live in an age of world-wide information gathering and speed-of-light computer processing that gives us the sense of omniscience. Our eye-in-the-sky satellite surveillance systems give us the feeling of omnipresence. The harnessing and development of nuclear power contributes to an all-powerful state of mind which seduces us into believing we are also wise enough to make the best decisions possible concerning our world. However, such does not appear to be the case, if environmental quality, use of world resources, and health of living populations are used as indicators

Color, Illusion, and Reality of the Shaped Canvas

&nbsp; The shaped canvas may be seen as an excellent vehicle for the display of light and color. Initial experiments dealt with the shaped canvas as a three dimensional sculptural substructure. Contextual changes led to the idea of an illusion: the sculptural painting. Efforts to resolve the relationship between free standing sculptural form and the wall canvas through specific continuities proved unsuccessful. The shaped canvas was next seen as a primary source for shape and form; as a distinct entity as distinguished from painting and sculpture. In this case, color was based upon naturalistic references. Sprayed color provided opportunities for the denial of three dimensionality. Sprayed color led to concepts of "suspension" and "negative" color value, a special condition. of "formlessness" results from surface treatment. Surface may be seen as the Source of light. "Formless painting" can be used to [extablish] a "real illusion" as opposed to ambiguous or implied illusions. Light projections used in overlay superstructure result in diffusion of light energy and color. Light projection is a necessary means to work involving pure spectral color.</p

Direct force-measuring transducer used in blood pressure research

Direct force measuring transducer acts as an arterial tonometer, gives a direct readout to instrumentation, and is unaffected by ambient noise. It uses a semiconductor strain gage which is deflected by pressure pulses in the artery. The deflection changes the resistance of the gage and alters the voltage reading on the associated instrumentation

Images across Europe: The sending and receiving of sexual images and associations with interpersonal violence in young people's relationships

This article explores young people's experiences of sending and receiving sexual images and text messages (sexting) within their interpersonal relationships and the contexts in which this occurs. The article uses data from a recent Daphne funded project ‘Safeguarding teenagers' intimate relationships’ (STIR) involving a survey with 4564 young people aged between 14 and 17 in a number of schools across five countries in Europe. Findings reveal that experiences of sexting vary by country and gender. The study also found that young people who reported victimisation in their relationships were more likely to have sent a sext message than those who had not. The article points to the need for a more nuanced understanding of the varied contexts and experiences around sexting in order to better develop policy, practice and education in this area
