Starting Line
Authors: Townsend Sylvia
Published: January 2020

In this chapter, which details pre-production, the eccentric, socialite producer Michael Laughlin, married to movie star Leslie Caron, hires cerebral hippy director Monte Hellman to make Two-Lane Blacktop, written by television actor/director Will Corry. Hellman has acquired a small cult following for his films for Roger Corman, The Shooting and Ride in the Whirlwind.Hellman’s friend, actor Martin Landau, recalls Hellman had run a theater in Los Angeles, where he directed a production of Waiting for Godot. Cult author Rudy Wurlitzer writes a jazzy, existentialist script about two young hot rodders adrift in the world who race a fancy guy across country west to east. Wurlitzer models the character of the Girl on Hellman’s girlfriend, Laurie Bird. The chapter includes a history of hot rodding, and a history of road movies, and details how Two-Lane largely ignores road-movie conventions.
“A Valid Signature”
Authors: Trefzer Annette
Published: January 2020

This chapter focuses on the “X-mark” by which Chickasaw matriarch Mohataha signs over the legal title of her land in Mississippi to the white settlers of Faulkner’s Jefferson. This essay investigates the political agency of her signature, specifically the potential for native sovereignty in a situation of forced Removal. Mohataha’s mark signifies both the downward vector of a displaced culture and an upward stroke towards new horizons in Chickasaw history. Literally a legal sign, the “x” functions symbolically as a gendered figure linking Mohataha to the other female characters in the novel whose chiasmic plot structure centers on a coercive legal culture and women’s potential for resistance and rebellion.
Red Laughter
Authors: Lowe John Wharton
Published: January 2020

Faulkner’s portraits of Native Americans have been hotly debated, and it is true his lack of deep knowledge of Mississippi’s Native culture forced him to invent rather generously. To his credit, however, he presented multi-faceted characters, who range from the appalling to the appealing, displaying a full spectrum of human feelings. A little explored aspect of these tales is their humor. As Faulkner knew, Native cultures employed humor in virtually every aspect of their lives. This is apparent in his underrated story, “A Courtship,” but also in “Lo.” This essay outlines uses of the comic in these tales, and then relates it to authentic Native humor, showing how his artificial constructions both coincide and conflict with actual comic conventions in Native communities; the way in which his comic inventions create intimacy; and how the tales’ humor subverts accepted notions of nineteenth century history.
Perils of Protection
Authors: Honeyman Susan
Published: January 2020

When we generalize about children, we are often also implicitly generalizing about their care, from within a "middle-class" view of "nuclear" family. These as sumptions rely on anorm that few of us actually fit. Yet it is very difficult to talk about children from completely outside of such an assumed model of support in the private or "islanded" sphere. In contrast, children in literature are just as often disconnected from family in order to have greater adventures in more public spaces. They must leave the confines of the private family to for gean other sphere in which to grow. But the real experiences of children at tempting public connection or freedom to roam are farmore complicated, ranging from captivity and containment to escape and self-reliance. Utilizing both fictions of child adventure and accounts of experiences by actual children, Honey mandemonstrates that childwelfare depends upon not just protection, but also participation.
How can protection, which sounds so comforting, do harm? Perils of Protection will trace how the best of intentions to protect children can none the lesshurt them if leaving them unprepared to acton the irown behalf. Each chapter will center on this perilous pattern in a different context: "women and children first" rescue hierarchies, geographic restriction, abandonment, censorship, and illness. Analysis from adventures real and fictionalized will offer the reader high jinx and heroism at sea, the rush of risk, finding new families, resisting censorship through discovering shared political identity, and breaking the pretences of sentimentality.
The Prison House of Comics Censorship and Participatory Resistance
Authors: Honeyman Susan
Published: January 2020

This chapter centers on child rights to access knowledge and entertainment of their choosing with the example of comics censorship in the 1940s and 1950s in particular, and a case study of resistance in Sheldon Mayer's comicbook series, Sugarand Spike, which was conceivedat the height of this controversy. Favoring evidence in letter columns, fan mail, and letters to the Senate Sub committee on Juvenile Delinquency protesting against censorship, the author demonstrates how protests for participation were for the most part ignored in the name of protecting minors. By utilizing archival materialas an indication of the reciprocity between comics creators and readers, the author demonstrates the capacity of many minors for democratic participation demonstrated within the medium and industry of comicbooks.
Another Haul
Authors: Groth Charlie
Published: January 2020

When people cross the footbridge to Lewis Island in the Delaware River at Lambertville, NJ, they’re in a “whole ‘nother world”: wild and civilized, stable atop changing water and earth. Here lies the last commercial haul seine fishery on the non-tidal Delaware, where Lewis family members have netted since 1888 and have long monitored the fluctuating shad population. The island also serves as a spiritual, recreational, and community site for local and regional visitors, whom the Lewis family welcomes because of their forebear’s “mandate to share the island.” Visitors feel almost immediately that this place is special, but the why is elusive.
Folklorist Charlie Groth explains Lewis Island’s unassuming cultural magic by developing the concept of “narrative stewardship,” a practice by which people take care of communal resources (in this case, river, shad, tradition, and community itself) through sharing stories. Anchored in over two decades of field research, this accessible ethnography interweaves the author’s observations as a crew member, stories from various tellers, interviews, history, and cultural theory. Beginning with thick description, the work explores four broad story types—Big Stories, character anecdotes, microlegends, and everyday storying. Groth traces how narratives intertwine with each other and with the physical environment to create sense of place, while participants in various roles navigate belonging. Ultimately, she posits the idea that in an era when telectronics have changed material conditions profoundly and quickly, echoing the way the industrial revolution led to anomie, narrative stewardship embedded in everyday life helps sustain culture and community.
The Captains: Between Myth and Legend, Article and Anecdote
Authors: Groth Charlie
Published: January 2020

This chapter builds upon Ray Cashman’s work on character anecdotes at wakes in Northern Island, and starts by defining the term for this study in relationship to both the Big Stories covered in the previous chapter and the concepts of “legend” and “personal experience narrative (PEN).” In addition to providing a history of passing the leadership role between generations, specific character anecdotes are used to develop individual pictures of the captains, reflecting both personalities, biographies, and historical contexts. Themes arise that not only differentiate the captains, but also highlight tradition and change in the captain’s role and relationships to the Big Stories: authority within and about the fishery; stubbornness, commitment, stability; gentleness; spirituality. Discussion includes crew members’ and others’ views of captains as models of positive behaviour, who are heroic in the sense that they are both admirable and very human.
“It’s Like I Said to So-and-So”: Everyday Storying
Authors: Groth Charlie
Published: January 2020

This chapter explores a story type as more of an activity than an object: the telling of ordinary stories, mainly personal experience narratives (PENs), in order to build relationships and community. While narrative skill may be enjoyed, artistry is secondary to connecting people to people and people to place through sharing conversation and information. Everyday storying practices, such as “How was your day?” conversation, joking, and project sagas are discussed and compared to other know genres such as “craik” and “chit-chat.” The chapter also presents a particular story subtype, the “touchstone story,” by which visitors to the island tell a story of personal connection with the island, fishery, town, or activity to establish relationship. Flipping the expected pattern in which the fishery family or crew is expected to be the authoritative narrative source, family and crew play the community stewardship role of being audience: affirming and incorporating visitors by listening.

Sometimes in Reality You Kick the Football: A Conversation with Gabrielle Bell
Authors: Yeh James
Published: January 2020

With clear-eyed honesty and poetic detail, Gabrielle Bell’s comics deliver something that is simultaneously intimate, universal, and very funny. I first encountered Bell and her work in 2009, while I was covering the first-ever Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival. Since then I’ve wanted to ask her about rendering real life into art, and to gain some insight into her process, but hadn’t quite been able to gather up the time, or perhaps courage—sometimes, I have found, it’s better to admire from a distance. (Or as I saw in a Charlie Kaufman movie: you are what you love, not what loves you.) And yet the desire for companionship is a resonant theme throughout Bell’s work, so maybe it’s inevitable that I should want to connect with Gabrielle the person, as one connects with Gabrielle the comic-book character....
From Li’l to Big
Authors: Abate Michelle Ann
Published: January 2020

The Epilogue makes a case that the tradition of Funny Girls calls for a reconsideration of the history of American comics both during the mid-twentieth century and during the opening decades of the new millennium.Remembering and recouping characters like Little Lulu, Nancy, Li'l Tomboy, Little Orphan Annie, and Little Audrey restores the important place and powerful status that young female protagonists had in early American comics.At the same time, an awareness of this cadre of female characters changes our perspective on the growing presence of girls in comics in the present day.Events taking place in American comics from the early twenty-first century can be connected to those from the early twentieth century.Far from embodying a radical shift in US comics, the rise of fun, feisty, and formidable female protagonists represent the continuation of a tradition.Accordingly, the Epilogue reveals that while the names of many of the characters profiled in these chapters include the diminutive "li'l" or "little," their cultural legacy has been big.

O Plantão Psicológico é uma modalidade clínica destinada à demanda psicológica emergencial. A fim de contribuir, de modo teórico e prático, esse estudo descreve e analisa o perfil de usuários/as atendidos no Plantão Psicológico e as demandas identificadas. Participaram da investigação 47 usuários/as atendidos/as por plantonistas entre uma a três sessões. Os dados foram coletados nas Fichas de Registros de Plantão de Atendimento Psicológico, sendo analisados via estatística descritiva. Evidenciamos que o gênero feminino foi o público atendido com predominância. A maioria do público atendido foi de adolescentes entre 12 e 18 anos de idade, em contraste ao grupo etário de 40 a 65 anos de idade, a minoria a buscar o serviço de plantão psicológico. Concernente às demandas identificadas, verificamos a predominância de conflitos familiares e depressão, seguidas das queixas de ideação e/ou tentativa de suicídio e ansiedade. Percebemos que os atendimentos possibilitaram o processo de ressignificação do sofrimento relatado pelos/as usuários/as, os/as quais expressaram sua relevância no momento vivenciado por eles/as, por promover novas perspectivas, autoconhecimento e desmistificação do atendimento psicológico.

Influence of Internal and External Governance Mechanisms on Corporate Governance Disclosure among Islamic and Conventional Banks
Authors: Hasan Rashedul , Sharmeen Kashfia , Sultana Anisa
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the extent of corporate governance disclosure in the annual reports of listed conventional and Islamic banks in Bangladesh. Out of fifty-six scheduled banks in Bangladesh, a sample of thirty-nine banks is selected, and data for the sample is extracted from the annual reports covering a period of 2011 to 2014. As such, the study focused on the extent of CGC after the stock market crisis in 2010 in Bangladesh. This results in the final observations of 116 which were used to perform balanced panel regression analysis. Fixed effect model is found significant for the balanced panel model which indicates that appointment of large audit firms negatively affects the extent of corporate governance compliance. Pooled OLS regression established that while profitability has a negative influence, the size of banks positively affects the extent of CGC. This study has focused on the commercial banks and thus results obtained from the study may not be representative for public and foreign banks operating in Bangladesh. Statistical evidence provided by the study provides guidelines for the policymakers toward necessary governance reforms required for banks to successfully operate in a post-crisis environment. Factors established by the study that influences corporate governance compliance using a balanced panel model are unique in the context of developing countries. Evidence of a difference in governance compliance between Islamic and conventional banks in Bangladesh establishes a new research arena and a necessary shift from the traditional performance comparisons.

Islamic Currency Swap: Can Be The Best Way to Hedge Indonesia Hajj Fund?
Authors: Maulana Irvan , Rafdi Muhammad
Published: January 2020

The operational costs of Hajj in foreign currencies will always face the risk of changes in exchange rates. Hajj operational costs will continue to grow in line with the increasing number of pilgrims. But at present, the government (BPKH) does not have a currency hedging policy to reduce the risk of fluctuating currency values. Hajj operational costs are saved in rupiah, dollar and riyal currencies. As a result, deposits of pilgrims will continue to be overshadowed by the reduction in value due to the depreciation of the rupiah against the dollar and riyals. Hedging policy is a necessity in the management of Hajj funds. This study will use an Islamic currency swap simulation analysis. According to the MUI DSN No 96 in 2015, a swap is a contract that starts a spot transaction followed by a forward agreement by setting a forward exchange rate. Then it is settled by spot transactions using the agreed forward exchange rate. The results of the study show that the dollar and riyal in 2018 are in a state of high volatility, so hedging is needed to reduce cash outflows. Based on analysis, Islamic currency swap can be the best hedging to the operational costs of Hajj in USD is with tenors 30 days, 180 days, 360 days. while the operational costs of Hajj are in Saudi Arabia Riyal currency, efficient in overnight tenors, 30 days, 90 days and 180 days.

Islamization of Monetary Policy of 27 OIC Muslim Countries in Asia: The Successes, The Barriers and The Future Directions
Authors: Hossain Basharat
Published: January 2020

The Islamization of banking, monetary policy, and the financial system began in 1975 after the setup of the Islamic development bank (IDB). Firstly, this paper discusses a concise framework of Islamic monetary policy. Then it presents the success and obstacles of the Islamization process of the monetary policy among the 27 OIC member Muslim countries in Asia and provides future directions to enhance the Islamization process. This paper employed secondary data and used the three criteria to measure the Islamization process: 1) Islamization of commercial banking; 2) making Islamic banking guidelines & regulations; 3) innovation and starting the Islamic monetary policy instruments. This paper finds that more than 154 Islamic commercial banks are operating under the Conventional monetary policy in 23 countries with very few Islamic monetary tools. On the contrary, Iran follows full-pledged Islamic monetary policy with 30 Islamic commercial banks. More precisely, in these countries, only 17% of total banks are Islamic bank, whereas 83% are still interest-based banks. Regrettably, two countries (Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) do not have any tools of Islamic monetary policy. This paper also finds that though 64% of Islamic banks were established during 1970-2000 periods in 27 countries, only 25% of countries prepared Islamic banking regulation at this period. On the other hand, 75% of Islamic banking regulations were made during 2000-2015 periods. Most common Islamic monetary instruments are project-based Sukuk, project-based debt instruments, etc. Finally, this paper recommends six steps to enhance the Islamization process.

Tulisan ini akan menjelaskan hijrah sebagai tren istilah ditinjau dari aspek normativitas Islam. Akar historis peristiwa hijrah hingga menjadi fenomena masa kini berawal dari keterangan hijrah yang diabadikan dalam Alquran. Selain itu, Hadis Nabi saw. berkedudukan menjelaskan peristiwa bersejarah tersebut secara komprehensif akan menjadi sumber informasi kedua. Dengan pendekatan deskriptif analisis yang datanya dikumpulkan dari literatur tafsir dan hadis, tulisan ini akan berturut-turut mengupas mulai dari uraian terminologi hijrah berdasarkan sudut pandang linguistik, dilanjutkan dengan keterangan para ulama dalam bentuk uraian tafsir dan syarah. Penulis berkesimpulan secara umum tidak ada makna dan praktik hijrah dengan argumen “transformasi pola hidup dari arah negatif menuju ke arah positif tanpa disertai dengan migrasi secara fisik lalu melakukan labeling individu atau komunitas sebagai kaum Muhājirīn”.Akan tetapi sebagian ulama memberikan penjelasan bahwa hijrah tidak hanya dimaknai migrasi teritorial tetapi juga dapat bermakna metafor yakni hijrah batin dan lahir. Tokoh yang paling getol menegaskan dengan terminologi tersebut adalah Sayyid Qutub pendiri gerakan Ikhwanul Muslimin. Atas pembacaannya terhadap makna hijrah dalam Alquran, kemudian muncul berbagai gerakan dan kampanye “islamis” mengenai hijrah ini.

Published: January 2020

En la literatura científica se encuentra un gran número de controversias y resultados dispares a la hora de explicar la relación entre la hipertensión arterial y algunas variables vinculadas a la afectividad negativa, como la depresión, la ansiedad y la ira. Teniendo esto en cuenta, en la presente investigación se planteó como objetivo principal analizar medidas de ansiedad, depresión e ira en personas adultas que padecen de hipertensión arterial (HTA). A partir de un diseño de caso-control, se contrastaron dos grupos, uno conformado por personas con HTA (n = 50) y otro de control equiparado en número de casos, edad y sexo. A nivel general, el grupo de HTA mostró mayores niveles de depresión ¾en su dimensión somática¾ y de ira-rasgo ¾en su dimensión de temperamento¾. Asimismo, las personas con HTA presentaron síntomas de irritabilidad y pérdida de energía ¾síntomas depresivo-somáticos¾, además de que tendían a enojarse con facilidad o rápidamente —sín- tomas de temperamento de ira¾. El abordaje de estos factores psicológicos comórbidos resulta de relevancia dado que en estudios precedentes ha demostrado aumentar la adherencia al tratamiento médico en pacientes que han sido diagnosticados con hipertensión o patologías similares.
Validación argentina de la escala de Consideración de las Consecuencias Futuras (CFC-14)

Published: January 2020

La consideración de las consecuencias futuras se define como el grado en el cual las personas anticipan y son influenciadas por las potenciales consecuencias futuras de su comportamiento actual, y una herramienta muy utilizada para medirla es la Escala de Consideración de las Consecuencias Futuras (CFC-14). Esta escala ha exhibido propiedades psicométricas adecua- das en varios idiomas y se encuentra conformada por dos factores: CFC-Inmediato (CFC-I, 7 ítems) y CFC-Futuro (CFC-F, 7 ítems). El objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas y la consistencia interna de la versión en español de la CFC-14 en una muestra argentina, además de identificar las evidencias de validez convergente con la Escala de Impulsividad y la invarianza en función del género y la edad de los participantes. Para esto, se evaluó mediante una encuesta online a 512 participantes (75.2 % mujeres) de 13 a 74 años (M = 30.8) y se realizó un AFC en el que se encontró un modelo de dos factores como aquel con mejor ajuste para una versión de la escala de 13 ítems (CFI = .961; TLI = .952; RMSEA = .064; IC 90 % = .054-.074; WRMR = 0.979). Específicamente, los pesos de regresión estandarizados (p ≤ .05) fueron de .50 a .66 para CFC-F y de .43 a .83 para CFC-I; los valores de confiabilidad compuesta fueron adecuados, con un ρ = .80 para CFC-F y un ρ = .82 para CFC-I; no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del sexo y la edad de los par- ticipantes, no obstante, hubo una invarianza progresiva entre estos grupos; y las correlaciones entre las subescalas de la Escala de Impulsividad (UPPPS-P) y la CFC-F fueron negativas y significativas, siendo llamativa la correlación negativa y moderada entre la falta de premeditación y la CFC-F (r = –.41). De este modo, la CFC-14 mostró propiedades psicométricas adecuadas en una muestra argentina, aunque se necesita de más estudios para determinar la robustez de estos resultados.
Diseño y artesanado: una mirada contemporánea
Authors: Martínez-Osorio Pedro Arturo , Paschoarelli Luis Carlos , Da-Cruz-Landim Paula
Published: January 2020

Resumen
El escaso reconocimiento de la identidad y estética presentes en el artesanado y uso de la Caña flecha (Gynerium Sagittatum) de las culturas indígenas Zenú, plantea la necesidad de indagar sobre cómo entender el diálogo entre el diseño, el artesanado y procesos de producción industrial orientados hacia la innovación de procesos y productos en un contexto de sustentabilidad. Mediante una revisión bibliográfica organizada en dos fases, la primera consistente en la búsqueda de artículos científicos y libros y la segunda en el análisis, permitió clasificar la información en dos categorías: 1) Design, Handcraft y nuevas tendencias y 2) Design y Decolonization. Como resultado se muestran aspectos críticos en la relación entre diseño, artesanado y conocimiento indígena. En esta búsqueda se discute sobre el potencial que, desde el diseño, hace posible generar procesos de innovación y se presenta el diseño contemporáneo como una disciplina de síntesis que responde a un enfoque culturalista o esencialista del diseño con grandes capacidades de empoderamiento y emancipación en contextos periféricos. Esto permitió cuestionar sobre cuáles metodologías permiten acercarse a la comprensión del legado de las culturas y los procesos de artesanado.

AbstractThe low recognition of the identity and aesthetics present in the craft and use of the cane arrow (Gynerium Sagittatum) of the Zenú indigenous cultures, propose the need to inquire about how to understand the dialogue between design, craftsmanship and industrial production oriented processes towards the innovation of processes and products in a context of sustainability. Through a bibliographic review organized in two phases, the first consisting of the search for scientific articles and books and the second in the analysis, allowed the classification of information into two categories: 1) Design, Handcraft and new trends and 2) Design and Decolonization. As a result, critical aspects are shown in the relationship between design, crafts and indigenous knowledge. This search discusses the potential that, from design, makes it possible to generate innovation processes and presents contemporary design as a discipline of synthesis that responds to a culturalist or essentialist approach to design with great empowerment and emancipation capabilities in contexts peripherals This allowed us to question which methodologies allow us to approach the understanding of the legacy of cultures and craft processes.

¿Equidad en la dotación de espacio público en Bogotá?
Authors: Gutiérrez-López Julian Alberto , Quenguan-López Lina Fernanda , Betancourt-Carvajal Mario Andrés
Published: January 2020

Resumen

El acelerado crecimiento urbano genera mayor demanda en infraestructura de servicios y dotaciones. También ha modificado el espacio público de las ciudades, y en tal sentido, se espera que se distribuya de manera equitativa en la ciudad garantizando una óptima cobertura; en especial, para las poblaciones más vulnerables. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la equidad en la distribución de espacio público en Bogotá, a partir de una caracterización, a escala localidad, de la pobreza (pobreza monetaria, pobreza extrema, índice de pobreza multidimensional, índice de calidad de vida y necesidades básicas insatisfechas). Adicionalmente, se analizan los indicadores de espacio público (espacio público efectivo, espacio público total y espacio público verde). Este análisis comparativo, a la luz de los conceptos de focalización, igualdad y progresividad, determina cuáles localidades presentan mayores niveles de pobreza en la ciudad, y si son las mismas que presentan mayores dotaciones en términos de inversión pública. Se establece un escenario de discusión frente a la implicación focalizada de las inversiones del gobierno local.

Abstract

Accelerated urban growth has modified the public space of cities significantly. The increase of the world population demands a greater infrastructure of services and endowments in the city, to determine the optimum quality of life of inhabitants. In the case of urban space, it is expected to be distributed in an equitable way in the city, guaranteeing optimum coverage, especially for the most vulnerable populations. This work aims to analyze equity in the distribution of public space in Bogotá, based on a characterization of poverty, by location, and its relationship with the quality indicators of public space. This analysis determines which locations have the highest levels of poverty in the city and if they are the same with the highest endowments, in terms of public investment. A discussion scenario is established in the face of the focused involvement of local government investments.

Keywords: quality of life; social capital; urban habitat; poverty indicators; urban indicators; Public politics; socio-spatial segregation; vulnerability

Grażyna Dryżałowska, Special pedagogy at a crossroads. Perspectives of contemporary special pedagogy. Interdisciplinary Contexts of Special Pedagogy, no. 25, Poznań 2019. Pp. 105-125. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.25.05

The article is an attempt to reflect on the difficult situation in which special pedagogy was found. It is more difficult than the crisis that took place after 1989, because the fascination with the idea of normalisation and integration is gradually decreasing, and there is no new concepts for the further development of special education as a scientific sub-discipline obliged to respond to modern challenges.

Renata Marciniak-Firadza, Competencies of a deaf educator and deaf speech and language therapist in the diagnostic and therapeutic process of a child with hearing impairment. Interdisciplinary Contexts of Special Pedagogy, no. 25, Poznań 2019. Pp. 297-331. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. DOI: https:// doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.25.13

The specificity of the cognitive processes of a child with hearing impairment, and the need to apply appropriate methods and means of teaching, requires participation of a properly prepared specialist in the field of remedial and educational, preventive and therapeutic work in the didactic process. The manifestation of not only theoretical reflection on the profession of teacher and speech and language therapist, but also the effect of practical searches related to the vocational education and training of educators and speech and language therapists,as well as the assessment of their work, is the issue of professional competencies of a deaf educator and deaf speech and language therapist in the diagnostic and therapeutic process of a child with hearing impairment. Competence is understood in the article in two ways: as a range of knowledge, skills, predispositions and as a range of qualifications.
“Between a child who wants to tell and an adult who does not want to hear”. Arts Therapists’ Dilemmas in the Application of Arts Therapy with Children from Arab Society Who Suffered Abuse

The Arab education system in Israel together with the ethics and legal regulations are found to indicate reports of maltreated and sexually abused children. The problem of viewed in this paper is connected with the reporting of children who had experienced maltreatment and sexual abuse. The article aspires to present the work and dilemmas of art therapists using arts therapy when working within educational and therapeutic frameworks in Israeli Arab society. Today, the field of arts therapy in the Arab society is in its initial stages in contrast to the seniority this field has gained in the Jewish society and more traditional therapies such as psychology and psychotherapy. In the Arab society, mental therapy is uncommon. The field of therapy as a whole is undeveloped and conducted secretly largely due to shame, stigma and prejudices associating mental therapy with mental illnesses or disorders (Masarwa & Bruno, 2018). Until recently, arts therapy has not been practiced at all in Israeli in the Arab society. In comparison to psychological treatment, arts therapy carries an extra value because of its non-verbal work methodology, and enables can the client to make projection and reduction of social and personal objections in face of the therapeutic process. In recent years, implementation of this field of knowledge has gained momentum in therapeutic frameworks in general and at schools in particular, slowly becoming an integral part of the education system. However, this field is still in its early stages and it is oriented towards special education students and those with special needs (Nachum, 2007; Moriah, 2000).
Kształtowanie percepcji słuchowej u dzieci dwujęzycznych jako remedium na niewłaściwą realizację szeregów: szumiącego, syczącego oraz ciszącego
Authors: Plata Monika
Published: January 2020

Sygmatyzm, czyli nieprawidłowa realizacja głosek dentalizowanych szeregu ciszącego (ś, ź, ć, dź) i/lub syczącego (s, z, c, dz) i/lub szumiącego (sz, ż, cz, dż), to jeden z najbardziej dotkliwych problemów logopedycznych występujących u dzieci dwujęzycznych uczęszczających do polskich szkół sobotnich. Seplenienie powodowane jest m.in. przez nieprawidłową budowę narządów artykulacyjnych bądź niską ich sprawność, ale także przez zaburzenia słuchu fonematycznego – niewłaściwą recepcję słuchową głosek. U dzieci dwujęzycznych posługujących się równolegle językiem polskim i angielskim często pojawia się dodatkowa trudność fonetyczna związana ze słabym różnicowaniem spółgłosek ś, ź, ć, dź w opozycji do sz, ż, cz, dż. Kształtowanie słuchu fonematycznego u małych dzieci jest jedną z metod pozwalających na zapobieżenie seplenieniu, u starszych – sposobem na jego eliminację. Rola nauczycieli szkół sobotnich jest w tym przypadku nieoceniona – ćwiczenia słuchu fonematycznego odgrywają niebagatelną rolę nie tylko w nauce poprawnej artykulacji, ale również w opanowaniu umiejętności czytania i pisania.
„Niebieskoocy” w naszej szkole – przezwyciężanie stereotypów drogą do tworzenia uczniom lepszych warunków rozwoju w klasie szkolnej
Authors: Deptuła Maria , Borisch Szymon
Published: January 2020

The article outlines a universal and selective prevention program aiming at weakening the risk factors – child peer rejection and the emergence and prevalence of a low skills stereotype. It is based on the cooperation of researchers with pairs of faculty members teaching in the same 4th grade: the class host and a Polish, math or a foreign language teacher. The goal of this cooperation is to create better psychosocial development conditions in interactions with teachers and peers, diminishing the sense of helplessness during Polish and math classes, the risk of stereotypes and the school– and learning-re-lated stress. The results of the seven-month cooperation will be assessed through research conducted in 18 classes randomly assigned to the trial group (9 classes) and the control group (9 classes). The pretest, after-test and the measurement of results extended for a year after the conclusion of the program will include students with the after-test covering also teachers. The socio-economic status of students’ families will be the variable controlled for.

Published: January 2020

This article attempts a preliminary analysis of physical and relational aggression in the context of gender. The study of literature on the subject shows that the relations between gender and the above types of aggression are complex and fitperfectly the debate between proponents of biological determinism and social constructivism. It is difficultto derive a conclusion from both the results of empirical research on this problem and theoretical considerations, which are often ideology-dependent.
