Published: August 2016

A política educacional brasileira prevê que a escolarização de estudantes com deficiência seja realizada em classes comuns de escolas regulares e que esses alunos tenham direito ao atendimento educacional especializado (AEE) nas salas de recursos multifuncionais (SRM). A investigação chamada “Observatório Nacional de Educação Especial (Oneesp) de um estudo em rede nacional sobre o programa de implementação das SRM, 2010 a 2014, enfocou três eixos para avaliar essa política: (a) o processo de avaliação do aluno da SRM (para identificação, planejamento e desempenho), (b) a formação inicial e continuada dos professores que atuam nas SRM, e (c) organização e funcionamento das SRM. A partir da metodologia de pesquisa colaborativa, 203 pesquisadores de 16 estados brasileiros desenvolveram um estudo baseado em: (a) Sessões de entrevistas com grupos focais formado por professores de SRM de 56 municípios, (b) entrevistas com 36 gestores municipais da educação inclusiva e uma (c) pesquisa on‐line nacional preenchida por cerca de 1200 professores de SRM. Este artigo é um recorte da pesquisa realizada no município brasileiro chamado São Carlos localizado no estado de São Paulo sobre o eixo a). No total foram realizados 8 encontros temáticos sobre as políticas públicas de AEE nas SRM sendo que este excerto descreve, analisa e discute dois encontros sobre avaliação pelo qual foram utilizadas as técnicas de pesquisa colaborativa de descrição, informação e confrontação sobre o tema. Os resultados indicam, ainda, que muito do que se faz a título de Plano de AEE nesta rede centra‐se no planejamento das ações do professor da SRM, ou no AEE, enquanto que não aparece a relação com o ensino ofertado em classe comum. A avaliação do desempenho do aluno, por outro lado, também sofre com esse divórcio entre o ensino na SRM e na classe comum, e as práticas adotadas de avaliação para atribuir conceitos, para aferir desempenho em avaliações de larga escala, e para decidir se o aluno deve ou não ser promovido, são muito variadas, o que indica a falta de diretrizes claras sobre como monitorar o desempenho do aluno na escola comum. Neste contexto, onde muito ainda precisa ser definido e discutido, pretendeu‐se mostrar que as estratégias de formação devem impulsionar a reflexão crítica dos professores sobre suas práticas, sendo que a pesquisa colaborativa, quando bem conduzida, pode atingir esses objetivos de mobilizar crenças, saberes e opiniões que embasam as práticas dos professores.
DIALOGUES OF DISADVANTAGE – DEPRIVATION IMPACTS
Authors: Ryan David 
Published: August 2016

For many years educational practitioners have tended to focus on issues within the child for the causes of special educational needs and or disabilities. However, as the field has developed in professional maturity, a more inclusive approach has now tended to look beyond the child themselves, and recognise that often the cause of the child's educational struggle is more to do with within school factors, and factors from the home. In some instances, researchers have suggested that the home‐based factors can account for around 80% of the difficulties experienced by children. In this paper, the overview of the research carried out with four Belfast schools will be provided, along with the key findings, including the impact of teacher aspiration, parental struggles with their own education and community influences. Belfast has a unique history, and divisions remain between Protestant and Catholic schools as to their outcomes for pupils. The research crossed the religious divide and findings will be presented as to the differences in educational aspiration and engagement from the two communities.
EQUITY AND INCLUSION OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL'S WALLS
Authors: Anderson Ange 
Published: August 2016

Over the last 30 years, controversy has reigned over the rights of children with learning disabilities to be educated alongside their peers in a mainstream classroom. Whether this is called integration or inclusion has been another hotly debated discussion among professionals. There have been calls for the abolition of special schools. This paper does not look at the rights of children with learning disabilities to an education in an inclusive setting but the rights of adults with severe or profound learning disabilities to lifelong education and well‐being. This paper does not seek for the abolition of special schools but for the extension of their use by their local communities. In 2014, a landmark report on the future of services for people with learning disabilities was launched by Sir Stephen Bubb for NHS England. This was in direct response to the Winterbourne scandal in 2011 and the ensuing years in between with the failure to move people out of inappropriate institutional care. Only by the use of already available community provision can we achieve a move from institution to community. There is no pot of money available to build necessary centres and facilities. The health service, social services and education as well as local councils need to work together to achieve a dramatic turnaround for local communities where everybody is treated equally. In tackling this challenge, we need people to grasp the true meaning of community delivery and the empowerment of people with severe or profound and multiple learning disabilities and their families. Reinders argues for a paradigm shift in our relation to people with profound and multiple disabilities and their parents (Reinders, ). While I agree wholeheartedly with him I also believe there needs to be a paradigm shift in how we view and use special schools.

Resumo O presente artigo é a descrição de um documentãrio que centra a sua problemática na abordagem das competências sociais. Trata‐se, assim, de uma Intervenção Pedagógico‐Expressiva com seis casos, que se organiza como um Projecto de Intervenção, o qual tem em vista a promoção de comportamentos ao nível das Relações Interpessoais e da Comunicação/Linguagem.Através de uma análise dos dados obtidos na Observação Comportamental e das Entrevistas antes da Intervenção aos Técnicos, verificou‐se que nas duas salas haviam casos muito diferentes, o que nos fez planear atividades que abrangessem um largo espectro de funcionalidades. Os objectivos específicos seriam tentar alterar os comportamentos através da Intervenção Pedagógico‐Expressiva e melhorar algumas competências e capacidades de jovens com DID. Para colmatar estas dificuldades foi elaborado o programa de Intervenção Pedagógico‐Expressiva, o qual foi especificamente elaborado para o contexto deste trabalho de projeto. Depois da aplicação deste programa verificou‐se que esta intervenção contribuiu de alguma forma para a melhoria das competências sociais.Através da implementação deste programa de intervenção e das melhorias verificadas, pretende‐se que os jovens em estudo venham a melhorar a qualidade das relações interpessoais que estabelecem e que o seu processo de inclusão possa ser potenciado.

A «PLENatITUDE» é uma metodologia de formação de professores desenvolvida num contexto de um projeto do Doutoramento em Ciências da Educação, especialização em Formação de Professores, da Faculdade de Psicologia e Ciências da Educação da Universidade de Coimbra. Tem dois objetivos gerais : (1) promover uma prática docente eficiente fundamentada em evidência, através da formação de professores baseada nas Neurociências, Psicologia Positiva e Programação Neuro‐Linguística, com a meta de contribuir para o aumento do sucesso escolar dos alunos; (2) reduzir, numa perspetiva de prevenção primária, o número de alunos que evidenciam dificuldades graves de aprendizagem e necessitam de apoio especializado no âmbito da Educação Especial. Os primeiros resultados apontam para um aumento significativo na eficiência e bem‐estar dos professores, com impacto positivo no desempenho dos alunos.
WOODLAND IN PRACTICAL SKILLS THERAPEUTIC EDUCATION
Authors: Mata Paula , Gibons Kenneth , Mata Fernando 
Published: August 2016

Modern urban life provides less opportunities to contact with nature, which is a potential cause of developmental deviances in children. We investigated the potential therapeutic effect of woodlands, within the context of Practical Skills Therapeutic Education at the Ruskin Mill College, UK. Data on physical and emotional perceptions were collected through a questionnaire: sight was the physical sense with higher impact (P < 0.05); contemplation, away from pressure, relaxation, peace, quietness and freedom rated higher in emotional senses (P < 0.05). The place conveying the highest sense of comfort was the woodlands (P < 0.05). The Biophilia Theory, and the Attention Restorative Theory, that explain the recovery from Directed Attention Fatigue through exposure to natural environments, frame these results. A considerable amount of students attending the College is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder being argued that the woodlands are a potential restorative place.

A relação positiva entre a prática de atividade física regular e a saúde está bem documentada. Todavia, as crianças e os adolescentes com spina bífida são pouco ativos ou sedentários e sofrem de inúmeras co‐morbilidades, relacionadas com a própria condição.. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar os correlatos psicossociais da atividade física em crianças e adolescentes com spina bífida. Participaram no estudo 31 crianças e adolescentes, com idades compreendidas entre os 10 e os 17 anos (M=13.4±0.1). Os dados foram recolhidos com recurso a um questionário. Não foram encontradas relações entre as variáveis e a atividade física.
AVALIAÇÃO E A QUALIDADE DAS PRÁTICAS DE INCLUSÃO PARA ALUNOS COM PEA: ESCALA LAQI (LOUISIANA AUTISM QUALITY INDICATORS)
Authors: Sá Olga Margarida Paulo 
Published: August 2016

O estudo centra‐se no tema avaliação de práticas e o seu contributo para a supervisão, monitorização e melhoria da qualidade da intervenção dos profissionais de Educação Especial.Este divide‐se em duas fases: a) conhecer a dinâmica da equipa multidisciplinar e a forma de avaliação das práticas de inclusão de alunos com PEA (perturbação do espetro do autismo); b) analisar o instrumento de avaliação Louisiana Autism Quality Indicators (LAQI, E.U.A.), na sua versão traduzida, pela Pró‐Inclusão. O estudo apresenta cariz qualitativo e foi utilizada a entrevista como instrumento de recolha de dados.Conclui‐se que as equipas realizam, na sua maioria, a avaliação das suas práticas informalmente, por falta de tempo comum para reunir e inexistência de um processo organizado com documentos de suporte. O instrumento LAQI pode ser utilizado no contexto educativo português para avaliar as diferentes áreas‐chave, relativamente à qualidade das práticas para a Inclusão de alunos com PEA.

Published: August 2016

This paper presents an analysis of how lecturers respond to students with disabilities, the initial question being: do lecturers aid or hinder students? Findings pertain to a broader research project employing a non‐usual research methodology in higher education research and students with disabilities: the biographical‐narrative methodology. The general aim is to analyse – by listening to the students themselves – barriers and support identified as affecting access, academic performance and overall perception of the higher education (HE) experience. This paper focuses only on the role that lecturers play in the inclusive education of students with disabilities. Unlike other international research, this paper has explored the barriers and support differentiating between five fields of knowledge: Health Sciences, Experimental Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering and Technology and Humanities.As mentioned above, the present paper focuses specifically on one of the objectives of our research project: making an analysis of lecturer‐centred data obtained by means of biographical‐narrative methodology, by the first time in this field.
Patient intention and self‐reported compliance in relation to emergency department attendance after using an after hours GP helpline
Authors: McKenzie Rosemary , Dunt David , Yates Allison 
Published: August 2016

AbstractObjectiveTo determine ED attendance and compliance with GP advice following a call to an after hours telephone triage and advice service.MethodsA descriptive study of users' of an after hours helpline self‐reported ED attendance and compliance with GP recommendation, based on routinely collected service data and telephone survey results for 2783 callers in 2011–2012. The outcome measure was self‐reported health service utilisation following advice from a GP on an after hours helpline.ResultsOne‐third of the sample – 934 callers – intended to visit the ED. Of these, 504 (54%, 95% CI 50.7%–57.2%) reported taking other less urgent options. The GP assessment confirmed the original intention for 224 callers (24%, 95% CI 21.2%–26.9%). However, 151 patients (16%, 95% CI 13.8%–18.6%) did attend the ED as they had originally intended despite the GP's recommendation to seek less serious care, whereas a further 55 patients (6%, 95% CI 4.4%–7.6%) assessed by the GP as requiring ED care chose a less serious option. Fifty‐five per cent of all callers who attended ED did not intend to visit the ED prior to their call. The overall net result was a small reduction in ED attendance compared with original intentions.ConclusionAn after hours GP helpline may divert some callers intending to go to the ED to other care. However, patient non‐compliance may limit the capacity of telephone triage and advice service to reduce demand for ED. Further research is needed to better understand the effect of the service.
Life history responses of the cabbage beetle Colaphellus bowringi to temperature change

Published: August 2016

AbstractTemperature is considered one of the most important mediators of phenotypic plasticity in ectotherms. Here, we investigated life history traits of the cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi Baly (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), at a wide range of temperatures (16, 19, 22, 24, 26 and 28°C). The larval and pupal times were significantly decreased with increasing rearing temperature and growth rate was positively correlated with temperature. However, the relationship between body size and rearing temperature in C. bowringi did not follow the temperature–size rule; both males and females reached the highest body weight at 19°C. Females were significantly larger than males at all temperatures. Male pupae lost significantly more weight at metamorphosis compared to females. However, diapausing males gained significantly higher weight after feeding compared to diapausing females at higher temperatures of 22, 24, 26 and 28°C. Body weight tended to decrease with increasing rearing temperature, whereas sexual size dimorphism (SSD) tended to increase with increasing rearing temperature; thus, Rensch's rule is upheld. The degree to which SSD changed with temperature varied with different development stages. SSD was lowest in pupae, highest in newly emerged adults and intermediate in diapausing adults.
Reconstructions of Columbia River Streamflow from Tree‐Ring Chronologies in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Published: August 2016

AbstractWe developed Columbia River streamflow reconstructions using a network of existing, new, and updated tree‐ring records sensitive to the main climatic factors governing discharge. Reconstruction quality is enhanced by incorporating tree‐ring chronologies where high snowpack limits growth, which better represent the contribution of cool‐season precipitation to flow than chronologies from trees positively sensitive to hydroclimate alone. The best performing reconstruction (back to 1609 CE) explains 59% of the historical variability and the longest reconstruction (back to 1502 CE) explains 52% of the variability. Droughts similar to the high‐intensity, long‐duration low flows observed during the 1920s and 1940s are rare, but occurred in the early 1500s and 1630s‐1640s. The lowest Columbia flow events appear to be reflected in chronologies both positively and negatively related to streamflow, implying low snowpack and possibly low warm‐season precipitation. High flows of magnitudes observed in the instrumental record appear to have been relatively common, and high flows from the 1680s to 1740s exceeded the magnitude and duration of observed wet periods in the late‐19th and 20th Century. Comparisons between the Columbia River reconstructions and future projections of streamflow derived from global climate and hydrologic models show the potential for increased hydrologic variability, which could present challenges for managing water in the face of competing demands.

Published: August 2016

ObjectiveLiver resections for non‐colorectal non‐neuroendocrine liver metastases (NCNELM) are gaining popularity. This study examines the outcomes of liver resections in patients with NCNELM in an Australian hospital.MethodA database search identified 21 attempted liver resections on 20 patients (12 men, eight women, mean age: 63.1) from 1998 to 2013. A retrospective analysis considered patient demographics and primary malignancy details. Complication rates were compared to those for colorectal metastases at the same institution. Kaplan–Meier curves were used to plot overall survival.ResultsComplete resection was achieved in 16 of the 21 operations with 13 cases having proven metastases (three cases were benign lesions on final histology). Primary cancers were gastric (n = 4), gall bladder/bile duct (n = 3), renal (n = 3), soft tissue sarcoma (n = 3), melanoma (n = 2), pancreatic (n = 2), anal (n = 2), breast (n = 1) and unknown (n = 1). Primary histology types were adenocarcinoma (n = 10), sarcoma (n = 3), renal cell (n = 3), squamous cell (n = 2), melanoma (n = 2) and gastrointestinal stromal tumour (n = 1). There was no peri‐operative mortality. Significant post‐operative complications (Clavien–Dindo Grade III or more) occurred in six patients (28.5%). Overall survival at 2 and 5 years was 46.2% and 30.8%, respectively, for all 21 cases of attempted resection, and 51.9% and 34.6%, respectively, for the 13 cases of complete resection of malignant metastases.ConclusionsThis study produced comparable 5‐year survival rates to those reported after liver resection for colorectal metastases and in other studies on NCNELM. Complication rates were comparable to those for colorectal liver metastasis resection at the same institution.

ObjectivesAccumulating evidence indicates that oxidative stress and neurotrophins have a bidirectional relationship. In this post hoc, exploratory analysis, we investigated the association between plasma brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and activities of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) and healthy controls.MethodsWe measured plasma levels of BDNF and activities of GPx and SOD in individuals with BD (n=59) and healthy controls (n=26). Information related to current and past psychiatric/medical history, as well as to metabolic comorbidities, was also reported.ResultsThere were negative correlations between BDNF, GPx (r=−.449, P≤.001) and GPx/SOD ratio (r=−.503, P<.001), and a positive correlation between BDNF and SOD (r=.254, P=.020). There was a moderating effect of body mass index (BMI) on the association between BDNF and GPx/SOD rate ratio [(RR)=1.002, P=.034]; interactions between impaired glucose metabolism (IGM), GPx (RR=1.016, P=.033), and GPx/SOD ratio (RR=1.026, P=.002) were also observed. These results were significant in models that included age, gender, alcohol, tobacco and medication use.ConclusionsThere was a robust and independent correlation between peripheral BDNF and antioxidant enzyme activities in individuals with BD, which was moderated by metabolic comorbidities. These results reinforce the concept that these systems are associated and further extend knowledge of the putative effect of metabolic comorbidities in the pathophysiological substrates of BD.
Spatial contiguity and incidental learning in multimedia environments
Authors: Paek Seungoh , Hoffman Daniel L. , Saravanos Antonios 
Published: August 2016

AbstractDrawing on dual‐process theories of cognitive function, the degree to which spatial contiguity influences incidental learning outcomes was examined. It was hypothesized that spatial contiguity would mediate what was learned even in the absence of an explicit learning goal. To test this hypothesis, 149 adults completed a multimedia‐related task under the guise of usability testing. As participants interacted with the environment, incidental learning material was displayed on the screen with varying degrees of spatial contiguity and without explanation. Upon completion of the task, participants were administered an unexpected retention test assessing their knowledge of the incidental learning material. The results produced clear evidence that spatial contiguity influenced what was learned automatically without conscious processing. The paper ends with a discussion of the implications of dual‐process theories for multimedia learning design and research.
