The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of adaptive/maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the prediction of cognitive test anxiety among university students. The study employed the descriptive survey method. The sample of the study comprised of 150 (130 females, 20 males, Mean age = 19.8 years, SD = 0.89) fourth year undergraduate students attending Faculty of Specific Education in Cairo University for the academic year 2017/2018. The study utilized questionnaires and instruments to measure psychosocial adaptive/maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and cognitive test anxiety. The correlation coefficient results revealed significant positive relationship between cognitive test anxiety and self-blame (r = 0.532), blaming others (r = 0.281), rumination (r = 0.412) and catastrophizing (r = 0.565) while the correlation coefficients were negative for acceptance (r = -0.387), refocus on planning (r = -0.356), positive refocusing (r = -0.323), positive reappraisal (r = -0.344), and putting into perspective (r = -0.289). Multiple regression was performed where relative contribution of the independent variables to the prediction were observed. Findings were discussed and conclusion was included.

The following article is written from the perspective of disability studies (Glodkowska, Pagowska 2017) and concentrates on cultural ableism as a dominant pattern present in Poland during the Iron Curtain (1945-1989). The authors are of the opinion that the conditions of forced functioning of the Polish society behind the Iron Curtain generated current and long-term effects formulating cultural ableism patterns. It should be pointed out that Polish academics (especially special pedagogues) mention the existence of transformation phenomena after the hardships of the past system, or sometimes are silent about the ideologisation, censorship and indoctrination of Polish society for 44 years, with Soviet concepts relating to disability. It happens also that the scholars cut off more or less strongly from the idea that in fact Soviet defectological thought was present or developed in special education. On the other hand, among the various long-term effects of being dependent on Soviet ideology and political supremacy, related to the construction of learned helplessness in many aspects of attitudes towards disability. The authors believe also that for some reason even in current Poland, speaking and thinking about disability corresponds with the cultural ableism effects and supreme slogan of Soviet defectology to &quot;fit a man into the system&quot; (Kalinnikova and Trygged 2014). The article was divided into sections in which the authors analyse the defectological concept of disability, normalization of cultural ableism towards the disabled people in times of the Iron Curtain. Then, there is discussion the issues of learned helplessness and the analysis of this phenomenon within the system and legal acts, and in the context of the segregation in the education system. The article ends with conclusions and implications for reeducation of normalized cultural ableism patterns.

The present study examined differential social experiences of international students living in a residential hall called 'Nihongo House' (Japanese language house) at a Japanese university. By conducting social network analysis (SNA), as well as making use of ethnographic data collected through participant observation and semi-structured interviews, we explain how constellations of interpersonal relations at the house transformed over the course of one semester and what factors were responsible for those changes. Additionally, we present three focal cases of international students. These students--with different motivational orientations, personal dispositions and abilities, and social standing--went through diverse social processes, which led to different levels of success in respective accounts . Based on the analysis, we discuss how social experiences of these students in this particular setting can be understood in relation to their language use and potential development and how this type of residential hall can effectively nurture interpersonal relationships.

Schizophrenia is a devastating mental disorder that affects thought, language and communication. Considering the language disorders, the aim of this study is to examine the average sentence length of patients with Schizophrenia and compare the results with a control group by using four different language tests. Fifty patients with schizophrenia diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria have been included in the study and compared to fifty healthy subjects matched for age, sex and education level with the patients. The subjects' speech has been evaluated in four stages. These are narration, story picture sequencing, semi-structured speech and free speech. The data consists of 8-10 minute recorded interviews. The recordings have been transcribed based on DuBois' Discourse Transcription Symbols. The statistical and linguistic analyses have shown significant differences between sentence length's of patients with schizophrenia and control group. Patients with schizophrenia have produced shorter sentences than the control group. In sum, this study concludes that the speech patterns used by Turkish Schizophrenia patients are different in terms of sentence length,and they prefer short and less complicated sentences in communication as a result of their cognitive disorders, including impairment to their attention and abstract thinking abilities.

Effective outreach to queer/LGBTQ+ students is an important part of higher educational efforts to encourage their participation in study abroad opportunities. To explore the prevalence and nature of online outreach to queer students, we quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed the study abroad program webpages of 38 higher educational institutions with distinguished reputations in international studies. Outreach to queer status was one of the most common types, along with outreach to ethnicity and disability status. Queer outreach varied as a function of institution type, occurring twice as often by public than by private universities, and seven times as often by secular than by religiously-affiliated universities. Using thematic analysis, we found that a majority of queer outreach content was generated by organizations external to the study abroad office, and in-house generated content was a combination of cautionary and inviting. We discuss ways to improve study abroad outreach to queer students in higher education.

Over the past decade, there has been increased recognition of the importance of school climate and school climate reform to address school violence. School climate has been found to have a significant impact on bullying reports and victimization, however correlations between these variables may differ among Latino, economically disadvantaged youth. Results indicated that reports of witnessing bullying and bullying victimization were correlated to the Teaching and Learning, Relationships, or Emotional Environment dimension, however no correlations were found with the Physical Environment, Community Engagement, and Morale in the School Community dimensions. Implications for school administrators, faculty, and staff are discussed.
