Clinical Supervision of Externs in Speech-Language Pathology

The focus of this qualitative study was to investigate clinical supervisors’ perceptions about the externship experience in speech-language pathology. This study was designed to investigate the range of supervisors’ preparedness to mentor the extern student, self-perceptions of the role of the externship supervisor, and opinions regarding a possible professional credential. Data was collected from a focus group and individual interviews. All participants were SLPs who supervised a minimum of two graduate student externs from the same large Midwestern university. The results indicated that externship supervisors felt unprepared for their early supervision experiences, vary in their practices of developing and systematizing pre-professional externship experiences, and that a professional credential in supervision would likely contribute to the standardization of graduate students’ training in speech-language pathology

La detenzione paterna come fattore di rischio di Parent Abuse: sperimentazione di un modello di intervento per la cogenitorialità

Obiettivo generale del presente studio è individuare tecniche di intervento innovative per la promozione del benessere del detenuto e del suo nucleo familiare in un’ottica di risocializzazione attraverso la cura delle relazioni. Nello specifico, gli obiettivi sono: - Esplorare la diffusione del femomeno del PA nei nuclei familiari con padre detenuto - Valutare l’efficacia dell’intervento di Parental Enrichment attraverso misurazioni pre e post nelle variabili considerate (stress genitoriale paterno, stili educativi, mentalizzazione paterna) - Valutare, inoltre, se in seguito all’intervento di Parental Enrichment si rileva un cambiamento nella frequenza di comportamenti PA rispetto a prima dell’intervento - Esplorare la relazione tra mentalizzazione paterna e comportmenti di PA stess

Aprendizaje en anfibios, el eslabón perdido: un modelo simple cerebral en el estudio de conductas complejas

El cerebro de los grupos filogenéticamente más antiguos, como peces y anfibios, no presenta neocorteza cerebral, teniendo una organización más simple que la observada en los mamíferos. En particular, los anfibios son un grupo clave dentro de los vertebrados pues representan la transición desde el agua a la tierra. Desde la perspectiva de la evolución cerebro-conducta, este grupo sirve especialmente para interpretar cuáles son las implicaciones que tal transición pudo haber tenido en la organización cerebral. Por lo tanto, los anfibios ofrecen la oportunidad única de encontrar los mecanismos básicos de una amplia variedad de comportamientos sin una fuerte modulación cortical. Este artículo incluye la descripción de tres procedimientos en anfibios que se han desarrollado en nuestro laboratorio para estudiar diversos aspectos del aprendizaje, tanto apetitivo como aversivo, así como sus bases neurales. En primer lugar, el aprendizaje en una situación de corredor recto, en la que el pallium medial (área homóloga al hipocampo de mamíferos) está implicado funcionalmente en la extinción de la respuesta. En segundo lugar, el aprendizaje espacial, donde la activación del pallium medial también juega un papel fundamental. Por último, varias situaciones de aprendizaje aversivo de evitación, donde el striatum (área homóloga a la amígdala de mamíferos) asumiría un importante papel funcional. Globalmente, el estudio del modelo de los anfibios está empezando a dar las claves sobre los mecanismos neurales básicos de estos comportamientos aprendidos. Además, el conjunto de estos datos muestran que estos procesos de aprendizaje son muy generales entre los distintos grupos de vertebrados, lo que sugiere que estos caracteres han sido altamente conservados a lo largo de la evolución.Fil: Muzio, Ruben Nestor.

Multimessenger Potential of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland

The Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) is the only ultrahigh energy (UHE, ${\gtrsim}30$~PeV) neutrino monitor of the Northern sky and will soon be the world's most sensitive high-uptime detector of UHE neutrinos. Because of this, RNO-G represents an important piece of the multimessenger landscape over the next decade. In this talk, we will highlight RNO-G's multimessenger capabilities and its potential to provide key information in the search for the most extreme astrophysical accelerators. In particular, we will highlight opportunities enabled by RNO-G's unique field-of-view, its potential to constrain the sources of UHE cosmic rays, and its complementarity with IceCube at lower energies

The Real Resource Curse and the Imperialism of Development

Carbon Capitalism. Energy, Social Reproduction and World Order

accumulation capital as power fossil fuels market civilization perpetual war social reproductionModern civilization and the social reproduction of capitalism are bound inextricably with fossil fuel consumption. But as carbon energy resources become scarcer, what implications will this have for energy-intensive modes of life? Can renewable energy sustain high levels of accumulation? Or will we witness the end of existing capitalist economies? This book provides an innovative and timely study that mobilizes a new theory of capitalism to explain the rise and fall of petro-market civilization. Di Muzio investigates how theorists of political economy have largely taken energy for granted and illuminates how the exploitation of fossil fuels increased the universalization and magnitude of capital accumulation. He then examines the likelihood of renewable resources providing a feasible alternative and asks whether they can beat peak oil prices to sustain food production, health care, science and democracy. Using the capital as power framework, this book considers the unevenly experienced consequences of monetizing fossil fuels for people and the planet
