From Where we are Now to What Next::Concluding Thoughts and Future Directions
No full textThis final chapter draws together the key findings presented in the preceding pages and considers emergent conclusions and implications for mental health and wellbeing in schools. The author draws upon the evidence presented by the book’s eclectic range of contributors and the health promoting schools’ (HPSs) framework to provide a road map of what an effective whole school approach (WSA) might look like moving forward. Crucially, lessons from recent crises in education, including COVID-19-driven changes in pathways to support, are highlighted as pivotal factors in a future vision which sees schools as an effective and sustainable frontline force to help tackle the global burden of child and adolescent mental health through a proactive, preventive stance. With this future focus in mind, next steps are considered in terms of developing effective and sustainable mental health and wellbeing support for all within healthy school settings
Clinical Utility of the CORE-OM and CORE-10
No full textThis study explores the clinical utility of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation–Outcome Measure (CORE-OM), and the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation–10 (CORE-10). This is an exploratory, naturalistic longitudinal study conducted in two psychotherapy services that offer training for psychology students in Ecuador. These services provide affordable and free short-term psychotherapy based on a constructivist approach. In total, 259 adult clients presenting non-severe mental disorders and symptoms and/or relational problems were included, 147 were women (57%); ages ranged from 18 to 66 with mean 28.70 years. At first contact we collected socio-demographic data and responses to the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation- Outcome Measure, Outcome Questionnaire-45.2 and the Schwartz Outcome Scale-10-E. Data were analyzed with statistical estimation using bootstrap 95% confidence intervals to assess clinical utility and psychometric adequacy of the measures for similar services and clients. The measures showed good acceptability and adequate internal consistency, similar to findings from the United Kingdom and Spain. There were strong correlations between all scale scores of the CORE-OM except for risk. Adequate convergent validity was found for the CORE-OM with the other two measures. There were no significant gender, age, or education effects for initial scores. Comparing help-seeking and non-help-seeking populations, large effect sizes were found for the CORE-OM total, non-risk, and risk scores, and medium effect size for the CORE-10 scores. Cut-off scores for the CORE-OM and CORE-10 were 1.26 and 1.51, respectively. The measures showed sensitivity to change with large effect sizes for all scores, except for risk, which shows a medium effect size. The CORE-OM and CORE-10 are suitable for clinimetric use, the former for broad assessment of psychological state and the latter for tracking changes in psychotherapy. Recommendations are made for assessment structure designs and data interpretation for routine use particularly in Latin America

No full textDiscussion of Josh Milburn’s Just Fodder: The Ethics of Feeding Animals
No full textIn Just Fodder: The Ethics of Feeding Animals, Josh Milburn thinks through theimplications of feeding animals by focusing on the relationships between humans and three different groups of animals: (1) animal companions; (2) animal neighbours; and (3) wild animals. In my comments, I concentrate on how the actions and agency interests of these animals problematise some of Milburn’s assumptions and normative prescriptions. My overall aim is to show how giving animal agency more prominence in our thinking about what we owe to them has significant implications. It is my view that our current theorising about other animals focuses too heavily on their experiential welfare and not enough on what animals do and the normative significance of what they do. Though I agree with Milburn that all animals have a right against being killed and made to suffer, a full ethical analysis of our relations with other animals must also consider their (equally weighty) interest in self-determination.<br/

Corsica: a cinematic home of rebellion?
No full textA majority of films about Corsican’s home, from continental filmmakers, rely on stereotypes and touristic gazes, often a source of humour. With Corsica becoming a crucial location for shooting, with the support of local film commissions and the increasing presence of professionals working in the film industry in-sitio, a new Corsican cinema, yet understudied, is emerging with a distinctive and rebellious approach towards the question of home. Films from Corsica are a site of resistance centred around the question of home as a symbol for marginalised communities such as Maghrebi living in the island or Corsicans themselves. These young filmmakers (Thierry de Peretti, Caroline Poggi, Pascal Tagnati) will depict home with creative cinematographic gazes and original mise-en-scenes to question the liminalities between inside/outside, past/future, authentic villages/capitalist urban spaces. They deconstruct invisible borders between spaces, generations, communities to reveal the inherent violence of these complex contemporary territories and its new stories: home as non-refuge, home as a site for rebellious cultural reappropriation, home as clandestine, even home as a site of fire regenerated, echoing ancestral rituals for a sustainable living.<br/
Manager Sentiment and Conditional Conservatism
No full textThis study examines the effect of manager sentiment on conditional conservatism. Manager sentiment refers to widely held beliefs of financial managers about their firms’ future economic prospects that are not justified by available economic fundamentals. Manager sentiment is likely to affect conditional conservative reporting because the decision to recognize unrealized economic losses in a timely manner flows from financial managers’ beliefs about their firms’ future cash flow prospects. We predict and find that manager sentiment is negatively associated with conditional conservatism, indicating that firms report less conservatively during periods of high manager sentiment (over-optimism) and more conservatively during periods of low manager sentiment (over-pessimism). Moreover, the effects of manager sentiment on conditional conservatism remain strongly negative after controlling for manager overconfidence. We further find that asset write-offs are lower during high sentiment periods but higher in subsequent periods. Importantly, the manager sentiment effect on conservatism is incremental, and opposite in sign, to the effect of investor sentiment, which has not been demonstrated in prior literature
The Ethics of Deferred Prosecution Agreements for MNEs Culpable of Foreign Corruption: Relativistic Pragmatism or Devil’s Pact?
Get PDF© 2024, [Cambridge University Press]. This is an author produced version of a paper published in Business Ethics Quarterly uploaded in accordance with the publisher’s self- archiving policy. The final published version (version of record) is available online at the link. Some minor differences between this version and the final published version may remain. We suggest you refer to the final published version should you wish to cite from it. Deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) are legal means, alternative to trial, for the resolution of criminal business cases. Although DPAs are increasingly used in the US and are spreading to other jurisdictions, the ethics of DPAs has hardly been subjected to critical scrutiny. We use a multidisciplinary approach straddling the line between philosophy and law to examine the ethics of DPAs used to resolve cases of multinational enterprises’ (MNEs) foreign corruption. Deontologically, we argue that the normativity of DPAs raises critical concerns related to the notion of justice as punishment, with serious cases of international corruption resolved with minimal retribution for offending MNEs. Taking a utilitarian ethical perspective, we also evaluate the effect of DPAs on MNEs’ tendency to self-regulate or re-offend. Our conclusion, supported by critical analysis of the juridical literature and case evidence on MNEs’ recidivism, is that DPAs do not foster ethical behavior
