Neurodiversity and Disability with Sally J. Pla
No full textJennifer Slagus and Josh Palange explore neurodiversity in children’s literature with special guest Sally J. Pla. The episode begins with Slagus and Palange defining neurodiversity and emphasizing the importance of representing these stories in children’s literature. Award-winning neurodivergent author, Sally J. Pla deepens the discussion by sharing her experiences writing books that feature neurodivergent characters. She highlights some of her projects, such as her neurodivergent book database, A Novel Mind, as well as upcoming titles. Pla also compares the approaches of U.S. and UK publishers toward publishing neurodivergent stories
Impaired Competence for Pretense in Children with Autism: Exploring Potential Cognitive Predictors.
Full text linkLack of pretense in children with autism has been explained by a number of theoretical explanations, including impaired mentalising, impaired response inhibition, and weak central coherence. This study aimed to empirically test each of these theories. Children with autism (n=60) were significantly impaired relative to controls (n=65) when interpreting pretense, thereby supporting a competence deficit hypothesis. They also showed impaired mentalising and response inhibition, but superior local processing indicating weak central coherence. Regression analyses revealed that mentalising significantly and independently predicted pretense. The results are interpreted as supporting the impaired mentalising theory and evidence against competing theories invoking impaired response inhibition or a local processing bias. The results of this study have important implications for treatment and intervention
Getting Published: Journey into a Relationship between Editor and Author
Full text linkLast year at the Inaugural TQR Conference, Sally and Dan conducted a workshop entitled Getting Published: Journey into an Editor\u27s Mind, highlighting what an editor thinks when she/he reviews a submitted manuscript to TQR. For the 2011 TQR Conference we will offer a variation of this presentation by including the voice of an author. Our workshop is entitled Getting Published: Journey into a Relationship between Editor and Author. In this workshop we will present a conversation between an author (Paige) and editor (Sally) to reveal an example of a relationship that develops between the two during the process of editorial review at TQR
Little Sally of the Sunday School
Full text linkExcerpt: One fine Sunday morning, while the bells were ringing to call the people to church, a very little girl, called Sally, was swinging on a gate by the way-side. Sally was covered with rags, her face and hands were dirty, and she had neither shoes nor stockings.https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/pamphlet_collection/1007/thumbnail.jp

Multi-Environment Evaluation and Genetic Characterisation of Common Bean Breeding Lines for Organic Farming Systems
Full text linkIt is recognised that one of the main causes for the relative low yields under organic conditions is the use of modern cultivars which are bred for high-input management systems. The work described here aimed to study and test possible breeding strategies to produce cultivars of common bean for organic agriculture. To this purpose, crosses between a traditional Italian landrace named “Gnocchetto” and a cultivar were carried out. The F1 plants obtained were either backcrossed or self-fertilised and the obtained materials subjected to selection for quality traits at different development stages. The resulting lines were tested under four different environmental conditions for three years in order to determine their potential performance. The resulting data were analysed using a Multi-Environment Trial Analysis (MET) approach and different visualisations of the GGE biplot were generated. Furthermore, to assess the level of genetic similarity, the lines were characterised using 25 Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) molecular markers. Results showed that the breeding approach applied allowed to select lines with the same technological and agronomic characteristics as commercially available cultivars, but with different adaptation abilities that make them suitable for organic agriculture
