Le droit de jouir des arts
No full textThe right of everyone to « enjoy the arts » is set out in article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The travaux préparatoires indicate that this was an original contribution by John P. Humphrey, who prepared the first draft of the Declaration. The reference to « the arts » was dropped when the two Covenants were adopted. There has been a tendency to more general references to culture without making the distinction between manifestations of popular culture and the fine arts, such as classical music and opera, theatre, painting and sculpture. Nevertheless, the Convention on the Rights of the Child affirms a right « to participate freely in cultural life and the arts ». Article 32 of the Hague Convention affirms the immunity of the musicians who accompany the parlementaire, thereby acknowledging the contribution of music to peacemaking
A mixed-method investigation of the challenges and opportunities for commissioning culturally competent mental health (dementia) services
Get PDFA mixed method approach was used to investigate the challenges and opportunities for commissioning culturally competent Mental Health (dementia) services whilst using thematically analysis to gain an understanding of the experiences, and practice levels of cultural competence amongst participants.
The NHS sited study found that cultural competence was an unfamiliar term though pockets of good practice exist in some parts of the system though based on a limited understanding, this status makes it essential to increase its knowledge, skills and practice. This is possible only if based on a consensus definition, relevant principles, training and research to develop an associated mental health commissioning framework. The aim is to transform the NHS into a culturally competent organisation capable of delivering mental healthcare that complements diversity and Human Rights standards.
This study concluded that dementia services grounded in culturally competent principles can improve healthcare experiences by improving inclusivity, diversity in leadership and service user engagement. It also argues that the empirical findings have ramifications in other public sector arenas and recommends sectors such as housing, employment, education etc embrace cultural competence also.
Other recommendations are that the NHS establishes mandatory training within a culturally competent framework and embeds it within CPD to ensure professionals can meet the needs of a diverse UK population.
Finally, the study contributes a first working definition of culturally competent commissioning based on the literature and participants contributions of
... a vehicle for increasing accessibility to quality services designed for populations of varying values, ages and vulnerabilities, using culturally competent processes that include tailoring service delivery to meet social, cultural and linguistically assessed needs..
Scrolling, safety and self-presentation: A grounded theory of social anxiety for Instagram millennials
Get PDFMost people live with some form of mild social discomfort, but for those with social anxiety daily life is mired with social distress. With the advent of digital technology, those individuals now need to navigate their social worlds through a terrain of in-person and online engagement, and this influences how social anxiety manifests for them. In this investigation, 12 millennials were screened for social anxiety and reported using Instagram daily. They were administered open-ended interviews which were analysed using constructivist grounded theory principles. After the analysis, a strategic literature review was carried out to integrate the findings within the literature. Data from the participants led to a substantive formulation for understanding social anxiety in the information age. Three core categories emerged: exclusion, inferiority, and limitation. Those categories were then used to investigate social media processes for the participants. The findings indicate that socially anxious millennials in this study engaged in four main psychosocial processes online. The first is social comparison to others was indiscriminate online, the second was that assertive self-presenters were better able to make use of the new possibilities that Instagram presents. The third is that compensatory connection took place through voyeurism or watching others’ personal content. Finally, scrolling on Instagram seems to be serving a safety behaviour for those individuals. This research develops on a small but crucial body of literature which centralises the lived experience in understanding online engagement in the fields of cyberpsychology and counselling psychology. This study revealed the significance of Instagram engagement for those who struggle with social anxiety and clarifies how Instagram is integrated within their social experience

Dialoguing with children’s lived experiences and realities
No full textAngela’s presentation is theoretically framed within Dialogic Pedagogy. Discussing data from observations of adults-children interactions in educational settings, the presentation will focus on the interplay between young children’s choices and initiative that display self-determination and adults’ reaction to them. The discussion of data will apply innovative concepts such as ‘listening filters’ and ‘environments that enable’, recently developed by the presenter
Sind Veröffentlichungen von publikationspflichtigen Unternehmensmeldungen faktorbasierte Marktrisiken? Eine Untersuchung von Noise-Trader-Risiken und Noise-Trader-Heuristiken
Get PDFThis thesis is intended to contribute to a further understanding of noise trader risk. It is examined whether company announcements subject to disclosure requirements contribute to cross-sectional Noise Trader risk. If prices are inefficient the Behavioral Asset-Pricing Model (BAPM) developed by Shefrin and Statman postulates a noise trading risk premium. A theoretical analysis reveals, that the abnormal expected return is an aggregated risk, including risk factors momentum, value and beta factor. Size approximates beta factor, eliminates momentum and weakens value.
The Information-Adjusted Noise Model developed by Ramiah and Davidson is modified to capture time shifted as well as cross-sectional responses to company announcements. The responses to disclosures of annual financial reports and dividend announcements are classified as Noise Trading risk factors. They are delayed by one to two days and significantly correlated with beta-correction changes in market disequilibrium.
The disclosures of dividend announcements might be proxy for an underlying risk factor caused by opinions shared on general annual meetings and investment of dividend payments.
The disclosures of annual financial reports are related to book-to-market and momentum indicating similar risk factors to Fama French three-factor model and Carhart four-factor model, which might be caused by not recognizing inefficient market conditions by the Information Trader. The Information Trader think they are still trading on information, although they are trading on noise. Homogenous expectations synchronize effects on stock prices and create the observed risk factors. This concept of a collectively temporarily metamorphose of the Information Trader might explain same results from a neoclassical and a behavioral perspective.
Investing in Noise Trader risk can be realized by combining the BAMP with zero-beta CAPM developed by Black. The zero-beta BAPM enables a risk-based Asset Allocation and is superior to zero-beta CAPM, because correlations with stocks not belonging to the portfolio are considered. Short selling of the zero-beta portfolio to finance a long position in the efficient portfolio enables a Factor Investing investment strategy. This portfolio meets all assumptions of Behavioral Portfolio Theory with multiple mental accounts (BPT-MA) developed by Shefrin and Statman
Making pedagogical innovation sustainable: The role of training and dialogue for trainers
No full textSustainable Early Childhood Education in England.
This presentation will explore the concept of professional sustainability from the discipline of Early Childhood Studies.
There are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". The SDGs were set up in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly (UN-GA) and are intended to be achieved by 2030. However, it is pertinent to question if the 17 goals can be achieved (and to what level) by 2030. If we reflect back to the Millennium Development Goals we can see that the more we aim to reach specific goals, the further away they become. This presentation aims to provoke those working with and for young children to articulate from the sector ‘what is sustainable practice and what do we need to do to be sustainable?
Anwendungsorientierte Konzeption zur internen Qualitätssteuerung der Klassifikationen KTL und ICF in der medizinischen Rehabilitation
No full textIn medical rehabilitation, the requirements of legislators and cost bearers for quality management are at a high level. The Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) supports this with its quality assurance measures, as does the World Health Organization (WHO) with guidelines anent certified quality management systems.
In this study, a concept was created to operate the Classification of Therapeutic Procedures (KTL) as a quality assurance instrument of the DRV and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) of the WHO. This concept was developed application-oriented under theoretical and empirical aspects.
Collection of the empirical data was based on expert interviews using a semi-standardized interview guide and methodological evaluation was done by content-structuring qualitative content analysis.
New pragmatic approaches were collected based on the knowledge of experts selected from various professional groups in medical rehabilitation. The concept of quality control developed in this study offers a guidance for permanent implementation in clinical practice connecting external quality measures with internal quality management. It focuses on communication and interdisciplinary exchange between the different disciplines within rehabilitation facilities.
A structured approach of planning, analysis, management and control is crucial for implementing this concept of quality control. Additionally, both classifications (KTL and ICF) were analyzed regarding applicability, impact on patient care and benefits actually measurable in rehabilitation practice.
In conclusion, the practicability of the KTL was only partially rated positively by the experts: Although these classifications may lead to a better standardization in prescription of medical care, they result in a loss of individuality in treatment. Concerning the ICF, improvements in setting therapy goals and a clearer communication within the rehabilitation team by using standardized ICF terms seemed beneficial, whereas time-consuming examinations on patient admissions according to ICF criteria were considered unfavorable.
The expert’s judgement of the classifications influence on the quality of care in rehabilitation medicine was rather critical
Comics in clinical practice: a grounded theory exploration of how sequential art is applied to talking therapy
Get PDFThe clinical practice of counselling psychology and psychotherapy requires therapists to engage in a continuous process of development and learning regarding the range of their knowledge of theory, skills, and clinical tools. This research project explores the application of sequential art (comics, comic books, graphic novels, manga, comic strips etc) as a clinical tool in the practice of talking therapy. To date, there is a clear sparsity of research regarding this practice and the potential validity of sequential art as a legitimate clinical tool in counselling psychology and psychotherapy. This study used social-constructivist grounded theory (GT) in order to explore how therapists used sequential art in their clinical practice. It focused on exploring what kinds of clinical interventions sequential art was used in, which client groups sequential art was used with, what presenting issues sequential art was applied to, and how therapists viewed the effectiveness of applying sequential art to their clinical practice. Ten therapists with experience of applying sequential art to their clinical practice were interviewed. The findings of this project are presented as a substantive foundational model of how sequential art can be applied to talking therapy as a clinical tool. The findings indicate that, for some clients, interventions based on the application of sequential art can be a useful tool for a range of presenting issues and can be applied to therapeutic work with clients across a very broad range of demographic groups. The clinical application of sequential art takes three broad forms; interventions based on the creation of sequential art, interventions based on the consumption of sequential art, and some combination of these two forms. The findings also indicate that, for some clients, the application of sequential art can support communication between therapist and client, collaborative working between therapist and client, client engagement in therapy, the development of empathy and self-compassion, and the client’s development of insight
