âSo, I told him to look for friends!â Barriers and protecting factors that may facilitate inclusion for children with Language Disorder in everyday social settings:cross-cultural qualitative interviews with parents
Purpose: Although researchers have explored parental perspectives on childhood speech and language disorders, this work has mostly been conducted in English-speaking countries. Little is known about parental experiences across countries. Participation in the COST Action IS1406 âEnhancing childrenâs oral language skills across Europe and beyondâ provided an opportunity to conduct cross-cultural qualitative interviews. The aims were to explore how parents construe inclusion and/or exclusion of their child and how parents involve themselves in order to facilitate inclusion. Method: Parents from nine countries and with a child who had received services for speechlanguage disorder participated in semi-structured qualitative interviews. We used thematic analysis to analyze the data. Results: Two overarching themes were identified: âLanguage disabilities led to social exclusionâ and âPromoting pathways to social inclusionâ. Two subthemes were identified Interpersonal relationships are important and Deliberate proactiveness as stepping stones for social inclusion. Conclusions: Across countries, parents report that their childrenâs hidden disability causes misunderstandings that can lead to social exclusion and that they are important advocates for their children. It is important that the voices and experiences of parents of children with developmental disabilities are understood and acknowledged. Parentsâ recommendations about how to support social inclusion need to be addressed at all levels of society
A Probabilistic Justification of the Combining Calculus under the Uniform Scheduler Assumption
Combining Different Proof Techniques for Verifying Information Flow Security
When giving a program access to secret information, one
must ensure that the program does not leak the secrets to
untrusted sinks. For reducing the complexity of such an
information flow analysis, one can employ compositional
proof techniques. In this article, we present a new
approach to analyzing information flow security in a
compositional manner. Instead of committing to a proof
technique at the beginning of a verification, this choice
is made during verification with the option of flexibly
migrating to another proof technique. Our approachalso
increases the precision of compositional reasoning in
comparisonto the traditional approach. We illustrate the
advantages in twoexemplary security analyses, on the
semantic level and on thesyntactic level

NOTIFy (non-toxic lyophilized field)-FISH for the identification of biological agents by Fluorescence in situ Hybridization.
The rapid and reliable diagnostics of highly pathogenic bacteria under restricted field conditions poses one of the major challenges to medical biodefense, especially since false positive or false negative reports might have far-reaching consequences. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has the potential to represent a powerful microscopy-based addition to the existing molecular-based diagnostic toolbox. In this study, we developed a set of FISH-probes for the fast, matrix independent and simultaneous detection of thirteen highly pathogenic bacteria in different environmental and clinical sample matrices. Furthermore, we substituted formamide, a routinely used chemical that is toxic and volatile, by non-toxic urea. This will facilitate the application of FISH under resource limited field laboratory conditions. We demonstrate that hybridizations performed with urea show the same specificity and comparable signal intensities for the FISH-probes used in this study. To further simplify the use of FISH in the field, we lyophilized the reagents needed for FISH. The signal intensities obtained with these lyophilized reagents are comparable to freshly prepared reagents even after storage for a month at room temperature. Finally, we show that by the use of non-toxic lyophilized field (NOTIFy)-FISH, specific detection of microorganisms with simple and easily transportable equipment is possible in the field
