Published: April 2021

Coumarone-indene resins (CIR) have been obtained from a narrow coumarone-indene fraction by ionic cooligomerization. To improve the adhesion properties of CIR, nitrogen-containing functional groups have been additionally introduced into them at the stage of synthesis. The positive effect of carbazole on the degree of polymerization of styrene, coumarone and indene was noted. The products obtained (coumarone-indenecarbazole resins – CICR) have been used as modifiers for the road oil bitumen. The analysis of physical and technological indicators of the original and modified bitumen has been carried out in accordance with the standardized methods. The influence has been investigated of the temperature of separation of the unreacted part of the raw material from the CICR on its qualitative characteristics. It has been experimentally proved that the unreacted raw material is completely separated from the resin at a distillation temperature of about 150 °C. The experimental data obtained indicates that CIR, in comparison with CICR, due to its own high softening temperature, increases the same indicator of modified bitumen, however, this effect is achieved when the resin content in the bitumen is too high, namely ≥ 3.0-5.0 % by mass. At the same time, the addition of CIR to bitumen worsens it ductility and penetration. Adhesion is significantly improved, but again with the mass content of CIR in the mixture at the level of 3.0-5.0 % and more. The use of CICR as a modifier showed that this resin has practically no effect on the softening temperature and has a less negative effect on bitumen ductility and penetration, than CIR. At the same time, a positive effect has been observed in relation to the adhesion to glass - this indicator significantly increases even at a mass content of resin in bitumen at the level of 0.5-1.0 %. Thus, coumarone-indene-carbazole resins should be used as an adhesive additive that has a positive effect only on the adhesion of bitumen to a solid surface. In order to improve CIR adhesive properties, nitrogen-containing functional groups were additionally introduced into them at the synthesis stage. The resulting products (coumarone-indene-carbazole resins - CICR) were used as modifiers for road petroleum bitumen. The influence of the temperature of separation of raw materials unreacted part from CICR on its qualitative characteristics was investigated. It was established that the key effect of adding CICR to bitumen is the improvement of adhesive properties of the obtained bituminous-polymeric materials.
Who is worthy of help? Constructing the stereotype of the “ideal victim” of child sexual abuse
Authors: Eelmaa Simone , Murumaa-Mengel Maria
Published: April 2021

The stereotype of the “ideal victim” often determines who is considered deserving of victim status, especially in sexual violence cases. In this Chapter, we explore how is the so-called “ideal victim” stereotype constructed and what are the elements necessary for the perception of “ideal victimhood.” We use empirical data from an unmoderated anonymous Estonian online forum that hosts various topic threads from children and young people, including posts about personally experienced sexual violence (N=28) and replies to these posts (N=361). The data was analyzed by combining a discursive psychological approach with qualitative thematic analysis. Results reveal and illustrate how the stereotype is constructed from various elements and characteristics of social scripts, perceived gender roles, and misconceptions about sexuality. We unveil how these social constructions affect responses and attitudes towards sexual abuse victims to provide input for designing prevention efforts that support disclosure and help-seeking.

This Chapter will soon appear in the book Child Sexual Abuse and the Media (publisher: NOMOS).

Pemikiran Al-Farabi
Authors: Makbul M
Published: April 2021

Islam dengan kebudayaannya telah berjalan selama kurang lebih 15 abad. Dalam perjalanan yang demikian panjang terdapat 5 abad perjalanan yang menakjubkan dalam pemikiran filsafatnya yaitu antara abad ke-7 sampai abad ke-12. Dalam kurung waktu itu, para filosof Islam memikirkan tentang bagaimana kedudukan manusia dengan sesama, manusia dengan alam dan manusia dengan Tuhan, dengan menggunakan akal pikirannya. Mereka berfikir secara sistematis, analitis dan kritis, sehingga melahirkan para filosof Islam yang memiliki kemampuan tinggi karena kebijaksanaannya. Filsafat Islam tumbuh dan berkembang di dua kawasan yang berbeda yaitu filsafat di kawasan Masyriqi (timur) dan filsafat di kawasan Maghribi (Barat). Setelah Islam datang, orang Arab menguasai daerah Persia, Syam dan Mesir. Sehingga pusat pemerintahan pindah dari Madinah ke Damaskus. Pada saat itu muncullah dua kota besar yang memiliki peranan penting dalam sejarah pemikiran Islam, yaitu di Bashrah dan Kufah.Filsafat Islam di belahan dunia bagian timur berbeda dengan filsafat Islam di belahan dunia barat. Di antara para filosof Islam di kedua wilayah tersebut terjadi perbedaan pendapat tentang berbagai pokok pikiran. Di Timur dikenal beberapa filosof terkemuka, seperti al-Kindi, al-Farabi dan Ibn Sina. Sedangkan di Barat juga ada beberapa filosof yang terkenal yakni, Ibn Bajah, Ibn Thufail, dan Ibn Rusyd.

Known as microfluidic pressure in paper (µPiP), devices fabricated by this technique are capable of sustaining a pressure gradient for use in precise liquid handling and manipulation applications. In addition, the simple nature of this fabrication technique allows device designs to be scalably manufactured and deployed with minimal time, equipment and training requirements. This new platform democratizes the field of microfluidics and offers budget-friendly technology for both academic device prototyping and largescale commercial device production.
Do English and Spanish-Language Adapted Mathematics Items Function Differently? Investigating Differential Item Functioning and Item Bias Within a Regression Discontinuity Design Framework to Control for Selection Bias
Authors: Goodrich John Marc , Koziol Natalie , Yoon HyeonJin
Published: April 2021

When measuring academic skills among students whose primary language is not English, standardized assessments are often provided in languages other than English (Tabaku, Carbuccia-Abbott, & Saavedra, 2018). The degree to which alternate-language test items function equivalently must be evaluated, but traditional methods of investigating measurement equivalence may be confounded by group differences on characteristics other than ability level and language form. The primary purposes of this study were to investigate differential item functioning (DIF) and item bias across Spanish and English forms of an assessment of early mathematics skills. Secondary purposes were to investigate the presence of selection bias and demonstrate a novel approach for investigating DIF that uses a regression discontinuity design framework to control for selection bias. Data were drawn from 1,750 Spanish-speaking Kindergarteners participating in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99, who were administered either the Spanish or English version of the mathematics assessment based on their performance on an English language screening measure. Results indicated a minority of items functioned differently across the Spanish and English forms, and subsequent item content scrutiny indicated no plausible evidence of item bias. Evidence of selection bias—differences between groups in SES, age, and country of birth, in addition to mathematics ability and form language—highlighted limitations of a traditional approach for investigating DIF that only controlled for ability. Fewer items exhibited DIF when controlling for selection bias (11% vs. 25%), and the type and direction of DIF differed upon controlling for selection bias.
Do Spanish-English Bilingual Children Outperform Monolingual English-Speaking Children on Executive Function Tasks in Early Childhood? A Propensity Score Analysis
Authors: Goodrich John Marc , Koziol Natalie , Yoon HyeonJin , Leiva Sergio
Published: April 2021

Despite much research examining whether bilingual individuals demonstrate superior executive function (EF) skills compared to monolinguals, the purported bilingual advantage remains controversial (e.g., Bialystok, 2017; Paap et al., 2015). One potential reason for discrepant findings across studies examining the bilingual advantage is the difficulty in matching monolingual and bilingual groups on important confounding variables that are related to EF. To address this limitation of prior research, we used a propensity score matching approach to evaluate the presence of the bilingual advantage in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Cohort of 2011. Consistent with recent theories of EF development (Doebel, 2020), we hypothesized that before matching, we would observe bilingual advantages on report- but not performance-based measures of EF. However, we expected that after matching bilingual and monolingual children on a comprehensive set of covariates there would be no group differences in EF. We matched bilingual Spanish-English and monolingual English kindergarteners on a comprehensive set of child- and school-level covariates, and conducted a sensitivity analysis to evaluate whether results were sensitive to unobserved confounds. After matching groups (n = 252 matched pairs of monolingual and bilingual children), bilinguals had greater teacher-rated inhibitory control and attentional focus than did monolinguals; however, only the effect for inhibitory control was robust to unobserved confounds. In contrast, no effects of bilingualism were observed for performance-based measures of working memory or cognitive flexibility. Results are discussed in the context of recent theoretical models of EF development in early childhood (Doebel, 2020).
Assessing and improving robustness of psychological research findings in four steps.
Authors: Nuijten Michele B.
Published: April 2021

Increasing evidence indicates that many published findings in psychology may be overestimated or even false. An often-heard response to this “replication crisis” is to replicate more: replication studies should weed out false positives over time and increase robustness of psychological science. However, replications take time and money – resources that are often scarce. In this chapter, I propose an efficient alternative strategy: a four-step robustness check that first focuses on verifying reported numbers through reanalysis before replicating studies in a new sample.
Allostasis Machines: a model for understanding internal states and technological environments
Authors: Alicea Bradly , cialfi daniela , Lim Anson , Parent Jesse
Published: April 2021

In the present paper we will approach enactivism from the perspective of internal regulation: while the environment shapes the organism, it is also true that organisms have complex internal states with regulatory machinery with a set of continuous phenotype-environment interactions. The aim of the present paper is to provide a visual means to analyze these interactions in individuals and computational agents alike. An essential component of our approach is the representation of continuous internal states through the usage of the single continuous indicator we call an Allostasis Machine (AM). Consequently, we consider potential perturbation regimes for both naturalistic and virtual environments: within the naturalistic cases, it is possible to observe the effects of perturbations in isolation, or as overlapping, multiplicative events. In virtual cases, we can observe perturbations as the outcome of both realistic and fantastical environments. To conclude, we discuss how AMs can be utilized to improve our understanding of both the theoretical basis of embodied interaction and the dynamic regulation of complex psychophysiological states.

Asymmetric Anticipatory Emotions Underlie Risk and Time Preferences
Authors: Dawson Christopher , Johnson Samuel Gregory Blane
Published: April 2021

We are often preoccupied with the future, experiencing dread at the thought of future misery and savoring the thought of future pleasure. Prior lab studies have found that these anticipatory emotions influence decision-making. In this article, using economic survey data to estimate individual differences in anticipatory emotions, we find that the tendency to feel displeasure from anticipating future losses outweighs the pleasure from anticipating equal gains. We then relate asymmetries in anticipatory emotions to key economic preferences, finding that people with more strongly asymmetric anticipatory emotions are more risk-avoidant (because they obtain more disutility from contemplating downside risk) and more impatient (because they want to minimize the time spent contemplating risks). We conclude by considering how asymmetries in anticipatory emotions may be linked to a range of intertemporal and risky choice phenomena. Overall, our framework explains why risk-avoidance and impatience are linked and we provide suggestive evidence for this explanation.
A Symptom Level Perspective on Reactive and Proactive Aggressive Behaviours and ADHD Symptoms in Childhood
Authors: Speyer Lydia Gabriela , Eisner Manuel , Ribeaud Denis , Luciano Michelle , Auyeung Bonnie , Murray Aja Louise
Published: April 2021

Objective: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent childhood disorders, affecting around 3.4% of children worldwide. A common and impairing correlate of ADHD is aggressive behaviour. ADHD symptoms and aggression are both heterogeneous and it has been speculated that certain symptoms of ADHD might be more important in aggressive behaviours of different types than others. This study uses a symptom-level analysis to investigate the concurrent and temporal links between ADHD symptoms and aggressive behaviours. Method: Using Gaussian Graphical Models and Graphical Vector Autoregression Models, longitudinal and cross-sectional networks of ADHD symptoms and aggressive behaviours, measured using the parent-reported Social Behaviour Questionnaires (SBQ), were estimated. Participants included 1246 children taking part in the longitudinal Swiss z-proso cohort study at ages 7, 9 and 11. Results: The longitudinal network highlighted that ADHD symptoms and aggressive behaviours share a multitude of reciprocal temporal relations, with inattentive ADHD symptoms preceding both reactive and proactive aggression. Cross-sectional networks suggested that hyperactive/impulsive symptoms were predominantly connected to reactive aggressive behaviours but also to a form of proactive aggression, namely dominating other children.Conclusion: Findings provide preliminary evidence which specific symptoms are the most promising targets for reducing aggressive behaviours in children with ADHD. They also highlight the potential importance of targeting feedback loops resulting from aggressive behaviours. Future research is needed to better understand the mechanisms through which ADHD and aggressive behaviours become linked.
Non-communicable diseases among women survivors of intimate partner violence: Critical review from a chronic stress framework
Authors: Goldberg Ximena , Espelt Carme , Porta Daniel , Palao Diego , Nadal Roser , Armario Antonio
Published: April 2021

A neurobiological framework of chronic stress proposes that the stress-response system can be functionally altered by the repeated presentation of highly stressful situations over time. These functional alterations mainly affect brain processing and include the dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and associated processes. In the present critical review, we translate these results to inform the clinical presentation of women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). We approach IPV as a scenario of chronic stress where women are repetitively exposed to threat and coping behaviours that progressively shape their neurobiological response to stress. The changes at the central and peripheral levels in turn correlate with the phenotypes of non-communicable diseases. The reviewed studies clarify the extent of the impact of IPV on women’s health in large (N>10,000) population-based designs, and provide observations on experimental neuroendocrine, immune, neurocognitive and neuroimaging research linking alterations of the stress-response system and disease. This evidence supports the prevention of violence against women as a fundamental action to reduce the prevalence of non-communicable diseases.
Manuscript Instrument for Fear of Driving (IFD)
Authors: Fischer Carolin , Schröder Annette , Taylor Joanne E. , Heider Jens
Published: April 2021

Presently, there is no instrument to support the diagnosis of driving fear and its severity. To enable a reliable and valid diagnosis, the five-item German-language Instrument for Fear of Driving (IFD) was developed. The items, in accordance with DSM-5 criteria for specific phobia, measure the emotional, cognitive and physiological components of driving fear as well as the degree of avoidance and impairment. The present paper comprises two studies that describe the development of the IFD and its psychometric properties. In Study 1, the IFD was administered to 810 non-clinical participants in an online survey and demonstrated good reliability and construct validity. In Study 2, 54 people with a clinical diagnosis, including clinically relevant driving fear, completed the IFD and a clinical interview. The IFD demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity, and a cut-off score resulted in 95% sensitivity and 97% specificity. The IFD is a promising screening instrument for driving fear and its severity.

Published: April 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic caused hardship, isolation, and distress, potentially increasing risk for adolescent depression. Even pre-pandemic, <50% of youth with depression accessed care, highlighting needs for accessible interventions. Accordingly, this randomized-controlled trial tested online single-session interventions (SSIs) during COVID-19 in adolescents with elevated depression (N=2,452, ages 13-16). Adolescents from all 50 U.S. states, recruited via social media, were randomized to 1 of 3 SSIs: a behavioural activation SSI, an SSI teaching that traits are malleable, or a supportive control. We tested each SSI’s effects on post-intervention (hopelessness, agency) and 3-month outcomes (depression, hopelessness, agency, generalized anxiety, COVID-related trauma, restrictive eating). Versus the control, both active SSIs reduced 3-month depressive symptoms (ds=0.18); decreased post-intervention and 3-month hopelessness (ds=0.16-0.28); increased post-intervention agency (ds=0.15-0.31); and reduced 3-month restrictive eating (ds=0.12-17). Several differences between active SSIs emerged. Results confirm the utility of free-of-charge, online SSIs for high-symptom adolescents, even in the high-stress COVID-19 context.
SCANning for truth. Scholars’ and practitioners’ perceptions on the use(fulness) of Scientific Content Analysis in detecting deception during police interviews
Authors: Goormans Isabo , Mergaerts Lore , Vandeviver Christophe
Published: April 2021

SCAN (Scientific Content Analysis) is an analytic method that claims to detect deception in written statements. Although the validity of SCAN is contested in literature, various (law enforcement) agencies across the globe are trained in using the technique. To date it remains unknown how the technique is perceived and to what extent it is used in practice. Based on a scoping review and an open- and closed-ended survey, we identified practitioners’ and scholars’ prevailing perceptions on the use(fulness) of SCAN. Data were collected from 48 participants (35 practitioners and 13 scholars). Key findings illuminate a discrepancy between practitioners and academics. While practitioners position themselves positively towards SCAN, academics urge for a complete disappearance of the technique. Practitioners apply an incomplete, personalized version of SCAN. Since SCAN is not applied in its originally designed form and existing research demonstrates the technique has important shortcomings, we advise practitioners to abandon SCAN altogether.
The Violence of Asylum: The Case of Undocumented Chinese Migration to the US
Authors: Hsin Amy , Aptekar Sofya
Published: April 2021

A sizable portion of the undocumented population in the US is Chinese, yet they are an understudied group. We integrate a multidisciplinary body of work on undocumented Chinese migration with the sociology of migration and analyze interviews with undocumented migrants, community organizers, social workers, and others working in the Chinese community in New York City, as well as participant observation of community events. We show that restrictive immigration policies exclude most Chinese migrants from legal entry into the US, force many to endure dangerous migration routes, incur extraordinary debt and bind Chinese migrants’ experience of illegality with asylum seeking. The asylum regime is putatively humanitarian but inflicts legal violence on migrants and diverts efforts away from collective organizing for rights-based remedies towards debt-fueled migration and asylum seeking, a process that keeps migrants in lengthy periods of legal precarity and reproduces national and global inequalities. Our study contributes to the literature on migrant illegality in sociology that is primarily based on the experiences of Latinx migrants. We highlight the continuities and unique features of legal violence experienced by undocumented Chinese migrants.

Fever is defined as rise in normal body temperature above 98.6°F. Clinical thermometer is a medical instrument for measuring human body temperature. The traditionally used mercury in glass thermometer was replaced by digital thermometer due to mercury toxicity. Non-contact infra-red thermometer is a non-invasive thermometer used for un-cooperative pediatric patients. The objective of this study is to determine the clinical efficiency of non-contact infrared thermometer over axillary digital thermometer and mercury in glass thermometer over a range of body temperature by using paracetamol in febrile patients. This descriptive hospital based cross sectional study was conducted from 5th December 2019 till 23rd August 2020 after ethical approval from Institutional Review Committee of Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital. Mercury in glass thermometer, axillary digital thermometer and non-contact infrared thermometer were used to measure body temperature in febrile patient. Body temperature was re-measured one hour after administration of paracetamol. Data was entered and analyzed with statistical package for social sciences version 16. Axillary digital thermometer has high predictability in the upper body temperature range (in febrile state) but its predictability is low in lower body temperature range (our normal body temperature). Non-contact infrared thermometer in comparison with axillary digital thermometer has lower predictability in both upper and lower body temperature range. Clinical efficiency of non-contact infrared thermometer is less than that of axillary digital thermometer and mercury in glass thermometer in febrile patients.

There is paucity in literature describing the morphology of sub-axial vertebra of the local population. Available studies are limited to the body, intervertebral disk, spinal canal and Torg’s ratio of the cervical vertebra. Therefore, the present study aims to document various morphological parameters of sub axial vertebra. Sixty-four dry sub-axial vertebrae of the Nepalese population were studied using Vernier Calipers calibrated to 0.1 mm accuracy. Paired parameters of pedicle, lamina, uncinate process, the distance of the apex of the uncinate process to intervertebral foramen and foramen transversarium were measured. Similarly, unpaired parameters including spinous process length, vertebral foramen anteroposterior width, vertebral foramen transverse diameter and Torg’s ratio were evaluated. Except the height of left lamina of C3 to C6 vertebrae, none of the parameters showed significant side differences. Significant higher values of C7 were noted against C3-C6 on vertebral body height, vertebral body anteroposterior diameter, spinous process length and vertebral foramen anteroposterior diameter. Population data of sub-axial vertebra available in literature showed mixed results with ours. Interestingly, our observations either compared to (lamina, uncinate process, anteroposterior diameter of spinal canal and Torg’s ratio) or were larger (Pedicle and spinous process) than the Indian study with pedicle axis length being largest among all the compared studies. The information of this study may be used as a reference database for our local setting and could be of value in preoperative planning and in designing implants.

Melanoma is one of the aggressive malignancy arising from the melanocyte. Melanoma usually occurs in the mucus membrane and choroid. There are few cases who may present with lymph node, breast and other involvement. However, few may have an atypical origin and rarely the origin may be unknown. Its aggressive presentation, diagnosis and prognosis sometimes is very challenging to the physician. The mainstay of the diagnosis remains the histopathology and immuno-histochemistry (IHC). Varieties of treatment have evolved from surgical excision to systemic chemotherapy and immunotherapy with promising result, the treatment is still challenging. A 30 years old lady presented with lump in her both breasts and generalized lymphadenopathy. Excisional biopsy revealed Diffuse large B cell Non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) but IHC was in favour of melanoma. The final diagnosis was cutaneous melanoma of trunk with atypical presentation (generalized lymphadenoapthy and bilateral breast metastasis).

One of the government's breakthroughs in facing the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 towards the implementation of electronic-based regional autonomy is Presidential Regulation No. 95 of 2018 concerning Electronic-Based Government Systems. Technological developments will create (to create), access (to access), manage (to process), and utilize (to utilize) information precisely and accurately. Information is a very valuable commodity in the era of globalization to be mastered in order to increase the competitiveness of an organization in a sustainable manner. This phenomenon is important to study, because this system is expected to be a solution related to the implementation of effective, efficient, transparent and accountable local governments for efforts to prevent corruption by utilizing the application of this technology. This type of legal research used by researchers is empirical sociological legal research. Empirical sociological legal research that includes research on legal identification (unwritten) and research on legal effectiveness. Data collection was carried out by interview, observation and literature study. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of electronic-based regional autonomy on efforts to prevent corruption (a case study of the Bekasi City and Regency Government). The conclusion is that the effectiveness of the implementation of electronic-based autonomy is not optimal, there are still problems that there is no national integrated SPBE governance, SPBE has not been applied to the implementation of government administration and public services as a whole and optimally, the reach of ICT infrastructure to all regions and to all levels of society not optimal, the limited number of ASN employees who have ICT technical competence. based on the substance of the regulations, it is necessary to regulate the authority of the central government and local governments in managing e-government. Meanwhile, the culture of sharing data and information between government agencies is still low; Information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure has not reached all agencies, and information security management is weak in almost all government agencies. Based on the application of an electronic-based government system towards the prevention of corruption, one of which is to combat corruption is preventive efforts in addition to repressive measures

Globalizacija i sve učestalije migracije u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća pridonijeli su rastu specifične kliničke populacije unutar logopedije. Riječ je o dvojezičnim korisnicima logopedskih usluga koji su, zbog svojih specifičnosti, izazov kliničarima u procjeni, planiranju terapije i savjetovanju obitelji dvojezičnih govornika. Cilj je ove teme bolji uvid u logopedski rad, u kontekstu dvojezičnosti i jezičnih teškoća u Republici Hrvatskoj. Zanimalo nas je kolika je zastupljenost dvojezičnih govornika s kojima se logopedi u svom radu susreću, koje tehnike i mjere logopedi upotrebljavaju pri procjeni jezičnoga statusa dvojezičnih govornika, te koje su potrebe vezane za unapređenje logopedskoga rada u kontekstu dvojezičnosti. Elektroničkim upitnikom prikupljeni su odgovori stotinu logopeda iz Republike Hrvatske. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je rad u kontekstu dvojezičnosti vrlo aktualan. Unatoč učestalosti susreta s dvojezičnim govornicima, vrlo nizak postotak sudionika izvještava o stjecanju znanja o važnim temama za rad u kontekstu dvojezičnosti - poput znanja o sredstvima za procjenu dvojezičnih govornika ili znanja o ulozi prevoditelja. To se odrazilo i na praksu logopeda: vrlo nizak postotak logopeda potvrđuje praksu procjene obaju jezika dvojezičnih govornika, kao i pomoć prevoditelja. Najčešće primjenjivane mjere procjene kombinacija su formalnih i neformalnih mjera, te standardizirana procjena hrvatskog jezika. Rezultati ovog istraživanja uvid su u potrebe za unapređenje obrazovanja logopeda, što je preduvjet planiranja intervencije osnaživanja struke za rad u kontekstu dvojezičnosti.
The Proving Ground: Colombo Plan Fellowships and the Changing Landscape of Health Education in Canada, 1951–69
Authors: Campbell-Miller Jill
Published: April 2021

This article examines the history of the Colombo Plan fellowship program in Canada during the 1950s and 1960s. It will argue that this program had a visible impact on Canadian institutions of learning and health care for three reasons. First, it brought an unprecedented number of students and health care professionals from South and Southeast Asia to Canada; second, it fostered a sense of mission within Canadian institutions about the role education should play in contributing to health and international development overseas; and third, it revealed the challenges and tensions inherent in fulfilling this mission in the context of differences between the objectives of Canadian officials and those of the fellows themselves. With its focus on South and Southeast Asia, the Colombo Plan fellowship program anticipated broader trends regarding the international migration of health workers from that region in later years.
