53 Interesting Ways to Communicate Your Research
No full textTo maximise the value of your research, you need to communicate it to others. There are many ways to do so: examples include applications and bids, conference presentations, gray literature, journal papers, media (old and new), public talks, and teaching. This book provides fresh, creative, ways of making the most of these and other opportunities. It provides 53 practical suggestions, each based on ideas tried and tested by the contributors
Challenging times: prevalence of psychiatric disorders and suicidal behaviours in Irish adolescents.
No full textThe aim of this study was to ascertain prevalence rates of psychiatric disorders, suicidal ideation and intent, and parasuicide in a population of Irish adolescents aged 12-15 years in a defined geographical area. All 12-15-year olds attending eight secondary schools were eligible for inclusion. A two-stage procedure was used involving a screening and an interview phase. Those scoring in the clinical range on the screening measures were interviewed, along with a comparison group matched for gender, school and school year. 19.4% of the 723 screened were identified as being 'at risk'. This 'at risk' group was interviewed along with a comparison sample. 15.6% of the total study population met the criteria for a current psychiatric disorder, including 4.5% with an affective disorder, 3.7% with an anxiety disorder and 3.7% with ADHD. Significant past suicidal ideation was experienced by 1.9%, and 1.5% had a history of parasuicide. Binge drinking was associated with both affective and behaviour disorders. The authors conclude that rates of psychiatric disorders and suicidal behaviours are similar in young Irish adolescents to those in other Western cultures and that mental health promotion should be given priority in schools
Sacrifice in the Eucharist in the texts of the fathers from the New Testament to the council of Chalcedon
No full textThis thesis examines the evidence for the notion of Eucharistic Sacrifice which is found in the original texts of all the principal Fathers and ecclesiastical authors of the Early Church. The period covered is from the time of the writing of the New Testament to the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D. Each of the principal Fathers is examined in historical order, as far as this is possible, except when there is another link between them such as their city of origin. Apart from a few exceptions, the texts are presented in their Greek or Latin original in the footnotes, but an English translation is supplied for every case in the main text of the thesis. The aim of the thesis is not to provide an exhaustive analysis of the above data, but to present them in an orderly way and to make initial exploratory comments on the texts themselves and of the work of various scholars. The final conclusion resulting from this exercise is that, although there is indisputable evidence that the notion of Eucharistic sacrifice was widely upheld by Patristic authors, its actual content varied from author to author and presents a richness which it is not easy to classify
Challenging times: a study to detect Irish adolescents at risk of psychiatric disorders and suicidal ideation
No full textMeasuring the foundations of school readiness: Introducing a new questionnaire for teachers - The Brief Early Skills and Support Index (BESSI).
No full textBACKGROUND: Early work on school readiness focused on academic skills. Recent research highlights the value of also including both children's social and behavioural competencies and family support. AIMS: Reflecting this broader approach, this study aimed to develop a new and brief questionnaire for teachers: The Brief Early Skills and Support Index (BESSI). SAMPLE: The main sample, recruited from the north-west of England, included 1,456 children (49% male), aged 2.5 to 5.5 years. A second sample consisting of 258 children (44% male) aged 3 to 5.5 years was recruited to assess the test-retest reliability of the BESSI across a 1-month interval. METHODS: Following development and pilot work with early years teachers, a streamlined (30 items) version of the BESSI was sent to 98 teachers and nursery staff, who rated the children in their class. RESULTS: The best-fitting model included four latent factors: Three child factors (Behavioural Adjustment, Language and Cognition, and Daily Living Skills) and one Family Support factor. The three child factors exhibited measurement invariance across gender. All four factors showed good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Structural equation modelling showed that (1) boys had more problems than girls on all three child factors; (2) older children showed better Language and Cognition and Daily Living Skills than younger children; and (3) children eligible for free school meals (an index of financial hardship) had more problems on all four latent factors. Family Support latent scores predicted all three child latent factors and accounted for their correlation with financial hardship. CONCLUSIONS: The BESSI is a promising brief teacher-report screening tool that appears suitable for children aged 2.5 to 5.5 and provides a broader perspective upon school readiness than previous measures
: Les partis politiques sur le web
No full textInternet allows parties to extend their scope. Not only the web compose and recompose their "showcase" but it is also the place where may arise new forms of engagement and expression that go beyond communication strategies. In parallel, discussion forums give voice to citizens - who appropriate or divert them. These uses of the Web are part of specific cultures and trajectories. Thus, in Britain, the local character of the legislative elections limit the extension of the tool; in the United States, on the contrary, the Internet is seen as a way to reduce geographical distances. In France, each party appropriates internet differently, depending on its tradition and sociology. The author: Fabienne Greffet is a lecturer in political science at the University of Nancy-2, a member of the Irenee-Nancy and Grenoble-Compact, co-founder of the group "The Internet & Politics" of the European Consortium for Political Research.

WardLa campagne de Barack Obama lors de la dernière présidentielle américaine a révélé le rôle d'internet comme arme politique : sites, blogs, mondes virtuels et réseaux sociaux servent désormais à mobiliser et à débattre politiquement. Internet permet aux partis d'étendre leur champ d'action. Non seulement leurs " vitrines " se composent et recomposent désormais sur le web, mais c'est aussi là que peuvent naître de nouvelles modalités d'engagement et d'expression qui débordent les stratégies de communication ; parallèlement, forums de discussion et d'expression donnent la parole aux citoyens - qui se les approprient, voire les détournent. Ces usages du web s'inscrivent dans des cultures et des trajectoires spécifiques. Ainsi, en Grande-Bretagne, le caractère local des élections législatives limite l'extension de l'outil ; aux Etats-Unis, au contraire, Internet est perçu comme un moyen de réduire les distances géographiques. En France, chaque parti s'approprie internet différemment, selon sa tradition et sa sociologie. Ce panorama français et international ne manquera pas d'intéresser tous ceux qui restent attentifs à la présence des technologies dans la vie politique et, plus largement, aux évolutions de la communication politique et aux transformations que connaissent les partis.
