A little inconvenience : Perspectives of Bengali families of children with disabilities on inclusion and disability

The purpose of this study was to learn about the perspectives of Bengali families of children with disabilities on disability and their experiences in enhancing the inclusion of their children within their families, neighborhoods and communities. The study was based on qualitative methodology where the researchers are interested in the subject\u27s frame of reference (Bogdan & Biklen, 1982) and the insider\u27s perspective (Fetterman, 1988). Data were collected through extensive interviews and participant observations with eight families over a period of ten months. Findings indicate that families often devise their own indigenous strategies of implementing inclusion. Their focus on the humanness of the child, their views on labelling, their broader definitions of normalcy and intelligence form a significant aspect of their efforts to educate their community and create inclusion for their children. Findings of this study have implications for efforts to augment the inclusion of people with disabilities in India

Structure and complex magnetic behavior of disordered perovskite (Bi<SUB>0.5</SUB>Sr<SUB>0.5</SUB>)(Fe<SUB>0.5</SUB>Mn<SUB>0.5</SUB>)O<SUB>3</SUB>

Bi0.5Sr0.5)(Fe0.5Mn0.5)O3 crystallizes in a rhombohedral structure, with space group R3c, where the cations Bi3+/Sr2+ and Fe3+/Mn4+ occupy 6a and 6b sites respectively. Neutron diffraction, Mossbauer and magnetization measurements confirm long range antiferromagnetic ordering of the Fe3+ and Mn4+ moments at TN (226 K). Below TN, this oxide exhibits a cluster glass behavior and at low temperatures (~30 K) a spin glass state is observed. The complex magnetic behavior is attributed to cation disorder in the system. Magnetic properties of this oxide are compared with those of the isostructural Bi0.5La0.5Fe0.5Mn0.5O3 where both Fe and Mn ions exist in trivalent state
