The development of social legislation for blind or deaf persons in England 1834-1939
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.As indicated by the title the purpose of the thesis is to trace the development of social legislation for blind or deaf persons in England between 1834 and 1939. No attempt is made to deal with assistance whether from statutory or voluntary sources for war blinded or deafened persons. In the first chapter a survey is made of the position of the blind or deaf under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 and succeeding Poor Law legislation up to 1919. Chapter two deals with the enquiry into the condition of the blind carried out in 1874-75 by the Charity Organisation Society and the much more comprehensive survey of the state of the blind or deaf made between 1884 and 1888 by the Royal Commission on the Blind, Deaf and Dumb which reported in 1889. The latter enquiry resulted in the passing of the Education (Blind and Deaf Children) Act of 1893 and also provided the essential data on which state action for the two disabilities could be based. The third chapter gives an account of the campaign to secure legislation for the blind which culminated in the Blind Persons Act of 1920. How the Blind Persons Act was implemented at the local level and the effect on blind welfare of the work of the Advisory Committee on the Welfare of the Blind and the passing of the Local Government Act of 1929, is the concern of chapter four.
Chapter five describes the events leading up to the enactment of legislation relating to the issue of free dog licences in respect of guide dogs for the blind, concessionary postal rates, reduced fees in respect of wireless receiving licences, and the Blind Voters Act of 1933.
In Chapter six the story of the campaign for legislation for the blind is continued up to the passing of the Blind Persons Act of 1938. The penultimate chapter relates the attempts made to secure legislation provision for the deaf in the form of a Deaf Persons Act broadly similar in scope to the Acts on behalf of the blind. The thesis concludes with a consideration of certain conclusions drawn from the subject matter presented in the preceding chapters

Sex and Civil Rights: The True Selma Story
No full textThe magazine itself is around 33 pages long and is in a rough condition with water damage on many pages. There are multiple articles throughout the magazine focusing on many issues. Firstly the article talks about the rise of Martin Luther King Jr. and his views on politics. The author then talks about the acts that allegedly took place just before the Selma protests. Next there are accusations of priests and other church officials having relations with minors. Images are talked about and how they can be taken out of context minimizing the pictures that were taken from the march. Finally the author speaks on the connection between MLK and the Communist party

"Mechanisms of modal and amodal interpolation": Postcript
No full textPresents some additional comments by the current author regarding his original article Mechanisms of modal and amodal interpolation (see record 2007-05396-010). This debate has evolved to the point where there is now some agreement that there are significant commonalities between modal and amodal representations and processes. However, disagreements remain about the interpretation of experimental results. Some of these disagreements, along with points of agreement, are discussed. There has been increasing research activity on the physiological side of this issue, and the next few years may provide much more definitive evidence about the relationship between modal and amodal representations
Development and initial validation of the Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I).
No full textBackground: there is a need for a measure of fear of falling that assesses both easy and difficult physical activities and social activities and is suitable for use in a range of languages and cultural contexts, permitting direct comparison between studies and populations in different countries and settings. Objective: to develop a modified version of the Falls Efficacy Scale to satisfy this need, and to establish its psychometric properties, reliability, and concurrent validity (i.e. that it demonstrates the expected relationship with age, falls history and falls risk factors). Design: cross-sectional survey. Setting: community sample. Method: 704 people aged between 60 and 95 years completed The Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) either in postal self-completion format or by structured interview. Results: the FES-I had excellent internal and test–retest reliability (Cronbach’s =0.96, ICC=0.96). Factor analysis suggested a unitary underlying factor, with two dimensions assessing concern about less demanding physical activities mainly in the home, and concern about more demanding physical activities mainly outside the home. The FES-I had slightly better power than the original FES items to discriminate differences in concern about falling between groups differentiated by sex, age, occupation, falls in the past year, and falls risk factors (chronic illness, taking multiple or psychoactive medications, dizziness). Conclusions: the FES-I has close continuity with the best existing measure of fear of falling, excellent psychometric properties, and assesses concerns relating to basic and more demanding activities, both physical and social. Further research is required to confirm cross-cultural and predictive validity
