Social science textbooks: changing mindsets?
No full textSocial science textbooks created within the NCF-
2005 attempt to tackle a whole range of human
prejudices, hoping to bring about a sea change in
mindsets. They are designed to inculcate respect
for diversity, democratic values, critical thinking
and questioning. As is widely acknowledged,
these textbooks are framed within a progressive
educational, social and political understanding
(Ritubala and Joshi, 2008-09: 29-42). The matter in
these textbooks is engaging, varied and playful: the
wall between the world and the school has been
broken and the child can bring her rich experience
of the world into the classroom (Rai, 2006: 152-57).
But we must remember at the same time that the
textbook is no magic wand, nor really a vehicle for
transformative education. In fact there are many
hazards on the textbook’s journey, as it moves
through the classroom, and the world of the child
Ganpat Rai Bheel (Author Bio)
No full textGanpat Rai Bheel (39) is an organic intellectual, a prolific essayist, columnist, translator, and an Ambedkarite activist. Bheel writes in local newspapers in Sindhi on everyday Dalit politics. He has published about 210 essays/articles in local newspapers in Sindhi and Urdu languages on the problem of caste among Dalits and Muslims, Dalit politics and activism, and actively defends the Dalit cause.
He has also edited an autobiography of Mama Faizoo (Faiz Muhammad Sheedi), an Afro-Sindhi and a member of several splinter local Black and Dalit associations during his lifetime. In 2016, he also translated B.R Ambedkar’s biography from Urdu to Sindhi and published it with Pakistan Dalit Adab Forum. Some of his essays have been translated into Urdu, Hindi, and English. He also co-authored a Dalit Manifesto in 2016 for Dalit Sujaag Tehreek, a group of anti-caste activists who strived to the mainstream anti-caste narrative.
In addition to that, he also issues a magazine Pakistan Dalit Adab, a quarterly newsletter from the platform of Pakistan Dalit Adab Forum and Scheduled Caste Federation of Pakistan (SCFP). He published and edited Dalit Adab consistently from 2007 to 2018. Owing to financial constraints, Bheel could not have published Dalit Adab, and SCFP is also now almost a dormant organization. Nonetheless, he continues to influence local Dalit activism through his essays in newspapers, and social media blogging. He has also edited and published other Dalit organization’s literature such as Kolvansh, a newsletter of Pakistani Kolhi Itehad, and the newsletters of Bheel Intellectual Forum (BIF); the local caste-based associations of Dalits.
Presently, Ganpat Rai Bheel is translating the works of B.R. Ambedkar, and writing a book on ‘Being Dalit in Pakistan’ in which he mounts the critique of Sindhi nationalist politics from the Ambedkarian perspective. In his writings, Ganpat Rai draws parallels between Sindhi nationalism and Hindu nationalism and shows how the empirically existing problem of caste is buried under Ashrafiya-Savarna hegemonic ideology. No wonder, Bheel’s essays have been neglected by the dominant intellectual lobbies, and his perspective on Sindhi nationalist politics has been derided as archaic, and destructive of Sindhi national whole. The writing and publication of this book will be a great booster for local Dalit activism to negotiate issues of political representation with conviction and certitude

Rai San’yō and Nihon Gaishi
No full textRai San’yō (Rai Noboru) (1780-1832) was born in 1780. His main works were written in kanbun, a language very difficult to read and understand, so the numerous translations that were made by historians and writers always leave room for controversy and interpretation. The main work of Rai San’yō is Nihon Gaishi . It became most popular during the revolutionary and turbulent times of the Bakumatsu-Meiji Restoration, when power passed from the Shoguns into the hands of the Imperial House. Subsequently, this particular work gained an important place in the ideological system of the Meiji state. In modern (post-war) Japan, this author and his work are in the category of those writers from the past whose historiography of Japan has little weight. Rai San’yō’s Nihon Gaishi was conceived as a book about the power of samurai houses in Japan. In his introductory article reigen , Rai San’yō, wrote that "from the very beginning, the goal of this work was to show how the rise and fall of the shogun houses took place." Therefore, the key term of the history of Rai San’yō was taiken , a term which is used to denote the supreme power. From the point of view of the morals of the samurai class, Sanyo especially demonstrates appreciation for Minamoto Yoritomo, who did not go beyond his status and claim the position of the Imperial House, and thus created a system in the country that was significantly different from the Chinese one. In this system, the Emperor was left with the function of granting ranks, which did not give him real political power. Finally, Nihon Gaishi deserves the attention of researchers at least in the three ways. First, it is valuable as the work of a historian who carried out historical research at a time when the main parameters of this profession were not yet formed. Second, it gives us a view of the struggles for power during the Shogunate period, the way it was perceived by a person who lived during this period. Third, it stands as a work which was influential during the Meiji Ishin period and the fall of the Shogunate
Psykiatrisen potilaan hoidon suunnittelu ja arviointi RAI - järjestelmän avulla

Tekijä: Kati Leinonen
Opinnäytetyön nimi: Psykiatrisen potilaan hoidon suunnittelu ja arviointi RAI- järjestelmän avulla
Työn ohjaaja: TtT Kaisa Koivisto
Työn valmistumislukukausi ja -vuosi: Syksy 2013 Sivumäärä 76+ 15
Tämän tutkimuksellisen kehittämistyön tarkoitus on kuvata hoitajien ja esimiesten kokemuksia RAI -arviointijärjestelmään liittyvistä teemoista potilaan hoidossa sekä arviointijärjestelmän ymmärrettävyydestä ja käytöstä potilaan hoidon suunnittelussa ja arvioinnissa.
Tämän kehittämistyön tavoitteena on kehittää psykiatrisen tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella potilaan hoitoa ja kuntoutusta siten, että RAI – arvio olisi käytössä systemaattisesti psykiatrisen potilaan hoitoprosessissa hoidon sekä kuntoutuksen suunnittelussa, ja että potilaan osallistuminen oman hoitonsa suunnitteluun ja toteutukseen olisi osallistuvaa ja kokonaisvaltaisempaa. Tavoitteena on myös, että RAI - arvioinnin pohjalta systemaattisemmin hoitosuunnitelmaan kirjattua tietoa hyödynnettäisiin potilaan hoidossa ja kuntoutuksessa moniammatillisen tiimin yhteistyön välineenä. RAI - arviointijärjestelmän avulla kehitettäisiin samalla mielenterveys- ja päihdeasiakkaan hoito- ja kuntoutusprosessiin osallistuvien asiantuntijuutta.
Kehittämistyöprosessi toteutettiin toimintatutkimuksena, joka soveltuu hyvin organisaation kehittämiseen. Toimintatutkimuksessa pohditaan, millaisia hoidon suunnittelukonventiot ovat tähän asti olleet ja mihin suuntaan niitä kehitetään tulevaisuudessa. Tässä toimintatutkimuksessa käytettiin useita tiedonkeruumenetelmiä. Yksi näistä oli ZEF – kysely, joka suunnattiin Oulun kaupungin mielenterveys- ja päihdelaitospalveluiden hoitajille ja esimiehille.
Kehittämistyön johtopäätösten perusteella RAI - toimintamallia kannattaa jatkossakin kehittää psykiatrisen potilaan hoidon ja kuntoutuksen suunnittelussa. RAI - arviointi antaa kokonaisvaltaisen kuvan potilaan tarpeista ja voimavaroista sekä toimintakyvystä. RAI - arviointi osallistaa potilaan omaan hoitoonsa ja sen suunnitteluun. RAI -arvioinnista esiin nousevat asiat tulee käydä läpi yhdessä potilaan kanssa dialogisesti. RAI- järjestelmästä saatavaa tietoa tulee jatkossa kirjata systemaattisemmin potilaan hoito- ja kuntoutussuunnitelmaan, jotta tieto siirtyisi eteenpäin potilaan hoidossa. RAI - järjestelmän käyttö psykiatrisen potilaan hoidossa ja sen suunnittelussa vaatii jatkuvaa koulutusta, perehdytystä, interventioita sekä kehittämistä. RAI -arvion tuloksia tulee pohtia kollektiivisessa asiantuntijaryhmässä, jolloin se kehittää osallistujien asiantuntijuutta psykiatrisen potilaan hoidossa. RAI- järjestelmän hallinnointi vaatii lähiesimiehiltä ja ylemmältä johdolta sitoutuneisuutta ja motivoivaa johtamista sekä jatkuvaa arviointia.ABSTRACT

Title of thesis: Psychiatric patient treatment planning and evaluation of the RAI system
Supervisor: TtT Kaisa Koivisto
Term and year when the thesis was submitted: Autumn 2013 Number of pages 76+ 15
The aim of this research and development work is to describe the experiences of nurses and supervisors of the RAI-evaluation (RAI = Resident assessment instrument) on themes related to patient care, the comprehensibility of the system and the use of the patient's treatment planning.
The aim is to develop a psychiatric patient care and rehabilitation on the basis of the results of this study, so that RAI should be used systematically to review the psychiatric patient in the process of treatment and rehabilitation planning in such a way that the patient's participation in planning and implementation of his/her own care and treatment is inclusive and comprehensive. The aim is, too, that the track record of the patient’s information registered on the basis of the RAI - evaluation in the management plan is used in the treatment and rehabilitation as a tool of multi-disciplinary team collaboration. The RAI -evaluation system is used also to contribute for improving expertise among those who involve in the treatment and rehabilitation process of the mental health and substance abuse customer.
This study is an action research, and it is well suited for organizational development. In the action research it is discussed how the management measures have been until now and what the direction we are going to improve them. In this study it was used a variety of data collection methods. One of these was the ZEF - a request which was directed to the nurses and facility managers of mental health and substance abuse services in the city of Oulu.
On the basis of the results of this research it can be concluded that the RAI - model is worth developing further in psychiatric patient care and rehabilitation planning. The model will provide a comprehensive assessment of the patient's needs and resources, and ability to function. The RAI - evaluation will involve the patient in his/her own care and to plan it. The issues emerging from the RAI - evaluation will be considered together with the patient in the dialog. In the future the data of the RAI -system will be registered more systematically in drawing up the patient’s treatment and rehabilitation plan in order to make sure that the relevant information will pass on in patient management. The utilization of the RAI - system in treatment and care of the psychiatric patient requires continuous training, induction training, as well as the development of interventions. The results of the RAI-assessment will be reflected in a collective group of experts, in which case it will develop expertise of the participants in the treatment of psychiatric patients. The RAI - system requires from the closest superiors and senior managers commitment and motivating management and continuous evaluation
Role of Risk Stratification and Genetics in Sudden Cardiac Death
No full textSudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major public health issue due to its increasing incidence in the general population and the difficulty in identifying high-risk individuals. Nearly 300,000-350,000 patients in the United States and 4- to 5 million patients in the world die from SCD. Coronary artery disease and advanced heart failure are the main etiology for SCD. Ischemia of any cause precipitates lethal arrhythmias, and ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation are the most common lethal arrhythmias precipitating SCD. Pulse-less electrical activity, brady-arrhythmia and electromechanical dissociation also result in SCD. Most sudden cardiac deaths occur out-of-the-hospital setting, so it is difficult to estimate the public burden, which results in overestimating the incidence of SCD. The insufficiency and limited predictive value of various indicators and criteria for SCD result in the increasing incidences. As a result, there is a need to develop better risk stratification criteria and find modifiable variables to decrease the incidence. Primary and secondary prevention and treatment of SCD need further research. This critical review is focused on the etiology, risk factors, prognostic factors and importance of risk stratification of SCD.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

Ideophones in Khaling Rai
No full textAbstract
In Khaling Rai, a number of lexemes have been found which can be considered ideophones, according to Dingemanse’s (2012: 654) definition of the latter as “marked words depictive of sensory imagery.” This
article will describe the different types of ideophones found in Khaling. These ideophones not only manifest a range of different
morphological patterns, they cover the entire spectrum of sensory modalities found in Dingemanse’s implicational hierarchy (2012: 663), namely sound, movement, visual patterns, other sensory perceptions (such as
texture and taste) and cognitive states. The more than 400 ideophones collected to date in Khaling present a sound symbolic
landscape which appears to be considerably richer than that found in other Kiranti languages with which the author is
familiar.</jats:p
