Speech-Language Pathologists in Disaster Management: Team Roles

Purpose: Disaster management is a topic that is multi-faceted and intricately maintained by the professionals who volunteer their expertise and time to assist those who have been affected by an unforeseen disaster. Creating a well-rounded and effective team is of immense importance during disaster situations; speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can provide vital skills in the realm of communication, feeding, and other areas. However, the role of SLPs within the disaster management team is not well documented in the literature. The purpose of the study was to identify awareness, involvement, and training of SLPs in disaster management cycles through exploration of their self-reported knowledge, skills, and roles in order to better understand their likelihood of response and potential collaborative roles within the team. Method: To explore how SLPs view themselves as part of the disaster management cycle, a cross-sectional survey study was designed. The study specifically targeted licensed, SLPs within the state of Florida. Results: There were 216 viable survey responses to analyze. Upon rendering of the data, a descriptive and correlational analysis was conducted to further examine how speech-language professionals perceive their fit in the arena of disaster management. SLPs who responded to this survey were primarily white, 40–49-year-old females who had experienced some form of disaster. Most respondents reported receiving no training for disaster management; however, they indicated that SLPs and other healthcare professionals have unique skills that could contribute to disaster cycles. Although there was reportedly limited training and guidance available and minimal professional experience with disaster, SLPs who reported having professional experience with disaster cycles, indicated an increased likelihood of participating in future disaster response. Conclusions: Similar to interdisciplinary teams found in clinical practice, healthcare professionals need training and education about their roles to form teams to holistically address the needs of clients in all disaster management stages. Analyses show SLPs feel they could provide important contributions to the interdisciplinary disaster management team; however, they have not had adequate professional experience or training

Scripta anatolica

La carrière scientifique de Pierre Debord a toujours eu pour cadre géographique de prédilection l’Asie Mineure et pour thème favori la religion. À l’occasion de son départ à la retraite, ses collègues, amis et anciens élèves ont souhaité lui rendre hommage en proposant des études sur ces domaines de recherche qu’il a largement contribué à éclairer. Ces dix-huit articles d’archéologie, d’épigraphie, de numismatique et d’histoire carienne et grecque ont pour but de remercier celui qui, primus inter pares, aura permis un renouveau de la recherche française en Asie Mineure

Goûts et odeurs dans l’Antiquité / Handicaps, malformations et infirmités dans l’Antiquité

Ce numéro de Pallas accueille deux dossiers : Le dossier 1 se donne pour but d’éclairer le rapport entretenu par les Anciens avec les sensations olfactives et gustatives, au travers de trois thèmes : les différentes méthodes pour retrouver les senteurs antiques ; les rôles que les goûts et les odeurs ont joués dans la sphère religieuse ; enfin, l’importance des goûts et des odeurs dans la conception de la santé chez les Anciens. Il se situe dans une approche résolument pluridisciplinaire. Les contributions couvrent une période – de l’Égypte pharaonique à l’Antiquité tardive – et une aire géographique – du Proche-Orient à Rome – très larges. Tout en constituant une contribution importante aux recherches en cours, il se propose aussi comme une première approche pour ceux qui voudraient découvrir un champ de réflexion innovant et prometteur. Le dossier 2 relève des disability studies : il s’attache aux corps handicapés, malformés et infirmes, avec une attention particulière pour les embryons et les enfants – un champ de recherche encore nouveau pour les époques anciennes. La réflexion porte sur le vocabulaire utilisé pour nommer la différence physique et sur l’attitude des Anciens devant le handicap, celle-ci oscillant entre le rejet, l’élimination, et l’acceptation et l’intégration. Il y a peu d’ouvrages en français sur la question du handicap pour la période de l’Antiquité, le domaine ayant d’abord été exploré par des spécialistes anglo-saxons. Pour autant, les études contenues dans le dossier viennent compléter et enrichir la production non-francophone, sans la répéter ; elles s’adressent donc aussi aux chercheurs étrangers

Diversity, equity, and inclusivity in observational ambulatory assessment: Recommendations from two decades of Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) research

Ambient audio sampling methods such as the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) have become increasingly prominent in clinical and social sciences research. These methods record snippets of naturalistically assessed audio from participants’ daily lives, enabling novel observational research about the daily social interactions, identities, environments, behaviors, and speech of populations of interest. In practice, these scientific opportunities are equaled by methodological challenges: researchers’ own cultural backgrounds and identities can easily and unknowingly permeate the collection, coding, analysis, and interpretation of social data from daily life. Ambient audio sampling poses unique and significant challenges to cultural humility, diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) in scientific research that require systematized attention. Motivated by this observation, an international consortium of 21 researchers who have used ambient audio sampling methodologies created a workgroup with the aim of improving upon existing published guidelines. We pooled formally and informally documented challenges pertaining to DEI in ambient audio sampling from our collective experience on 40+ studies (most of which used the EAR app) in clinical and healthy populations ranging from children to older adults. This article presents our resultant recommendations and argues for the incorporation of community-engaged research methods in observational ambulatory assessment designs looking forward. We provide concrete recommendations across each stage typical of an ambient audio sampling study (recruiting and enrolling participants, developing coding systems, training coders, handling multi-linguistic participants, data analysis and interpretation, and dissemination of results) as well as guiding questions that can be used to adapt these recommendations to project-specific constraints and needs.12 month embargo; first published 08 December 2023This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

Manger la chair de son ennemi

International audienceThe goal of this article is to study, through the corpus of Homeric formulas, what might be called a “Homeric Encyclopedia” of food. Most of the formulas provide us with a coherent image of mankind eating bread and cooked animal meat, as opposed to animals eating human flesh and to gods eating nectar and ambrosia. However, some troubling passages show that Achilles, face-to-face with Hector, wishes that he could eat him. Moreover, queen Hecuba in book 24 wishes that she could eat Achilles’ liver. A single passage in the first half of the Iliad shows a similar vow, perhaps ironically attributed by Zeus to Hera, with the rare form βεβρώθοις. We link these passages to two others, where a weapon, namely a spear, is said to be eager for (human) flesh. Though not as common in the texts as the more usual formulas, these forms take part in the formulaic corpus, and evoke a more savage image of the Homeric world, where the desire to eat one’s enemy is not masked by the usual linguistic conventions.À partir des formules homériques se dessine une “Encyclopédie homérique” de la nourriture. La plupart des formules montrent une image cohérente des humains mangeant du pain et de la viande cuite, en opposition aux animaux nourris de chair humaine et aux dieux nourris de nectar et d’ambroisie. Pourtant, certains passages troublants montrent qu’Achille face à Hector fait le vœu de le manger cru. Hécube dans le chant 24 souhaite de manger cru le foie d’Achille. Dans la première partie de l’Iliade, un seul passage montre un vœu comparable, peut-être ironiquement attribué à Héra par Zeus, avec la forme rare βεβρώθοις. Nous relions ces passages à d’autres dans lesquels une arme, une lance, est dite être avide de chair humaine. Même si elles ne sont pas aussi fréquentes dans le texte que celles du premier groupe, ces formes font partie du corpus formulaire, et entraînent une image plus sauvage du monde homérique, dans laquelle le désir de manger son ennemi n’est pas masqué sous les conventions usuelles du langage
