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.
No full textLack 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
No full textLast 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
No full textExcerpt: 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.

Raymond Queneau’s Œuvres complètes de Sally Mara
No full textThis chapter follows the development of Raymond Queneau’s works published under the pseudonym (or auteur supposé) of Sally Mara, including her journal intime, at a time when diary-writing and the writing subject itself were out of favour with the literary avant-garde. A novel published in 1947 attributed to Sally Mara, followed by her Journal intime (1950) and her Œuvres complètes (1962), draw on Gide’s experiments with diary-writing, but comically expose the formal processes by which an author-figure and literary œuvre are constructed. This is often done by creating conflict between the several authorial figures involved (Queneau, Mara, and the fictional editor Michel Presle), and by processes of metalepsis (the transgresssion of boundaries in a narrative framework). Yet the works do not reduce the author-figure to an entirely textual, discursive phenomenon, disconnected from reality, and they tend to endorse a reader’s curiosity about the ‘real’ author.</p
Analysis of post-disaster damage detection using Aerial Footage from UWF campus after hurricane Sally
No full textIn this study, we investigate the feasibility of detecting post-disaster damages through camera images obtained onboard an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Aerial footage from the University of West Florida (UWF) campus after being hit by hurricane Sally in 2020 is used in our study. Our goal is to automatically locate and identify all the roof damages caused by Sally on the university campus using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based object detection approach. We utilize a TensorFlow Object Detection API model retrained on images hand annotated by our team to demonstrate the damage detection capabilities of CNN. The aim of this study is to propose a framework towards UAV-based post-disaster damage detection and localization to aid the effort of damage recovery after hurricanes.Conference PresentationPublishe
