ABSTRACTPrior studies have shown that young adults with severe physical and multiple disabilities are less likely to complete upper secondary education. This study aimed to identify whether these s...

Outcomes of a new residential scheme for adults with intellectual disabilities in Taiwan: a 2-year follow-up

2011

Background  The Taiwanese government launched a new programme in November 2004 to support adults with intellectual disabilities living in smaller facilities. This paper aims to evaluate the service outcomes of this new residential scheme over 2 years including those residents who moved from an institution and those who moved from their family. Methods  A one-group repeated-measures analysis was conducted for five interviews after the adults with intellectual disabilities entered the new environment. Forty-nine adults were initially studied (T1) and 29 adults remained in the homes until the end of the study (T5). Results  This study found significant improvements over the 2 years in the resi…

AGING IN PLACE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY: CARE TRANSITIONS AMONG OLDER TWO-GENERATION FAMILIES

2017

Little is known of transitions in care and housing of old two-generation families that include aging (≥40) adults with intellectual disability (ID) and their older (≥65) parents. This study employed the “housing pathways” theory in order to explore the experiences of these families of such transitions. All potential old two-generation families from two local authorities in Taiwan were recruited; 237 families completed our survey and 61 our in-depth interviews between May 2015 and July 2016. Different models and types of transitions in care and housing of these families were identified and found to be connected with changes in their care responsibilities and living arrangements. Old parents …

Effect of perceived stigmatisation on the quality of life among ageing female family carers: a comparison of carers of adults with intellectual disab…

2009

Background  Little account has been taken of quality of life (QoL) among family carers of adults with an intellectual disability (ID) and family carers of adults with a mental illness (MI), particularly the female ageing carers' perceived stigma. We explore whether there are differences in the significant predictors of female ageing family carers' QoL between family carers of adults with ID and family carers of adults with MI and aim to examine the effect of these differences in stigma on carer QoL between the two groups. Methods  A structural survey interview was administered to 350 female family carers supporting persons with ID and 66 female carers supporting persons with MI; the carers …

Correlates of Sedentary Behaviour in Adults with Intellectual Disabilities—A Systematic Review

2018

Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) are at high risk for high levels of sedentary behaviour. To inform the development of programmes to reduce sedentary behaviour, insight into the correlates is needed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to review the evidence on correlates of sedentary behaviour in adults with ID. We performed a systematic literature search in Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, Web of Science and Google Scholar up to 19 January 2018, resulting in nine included studies that were published from 2011 to 2018. Correlates were categorized according to the ecological model. Studies predominantly focused on individual level correlates. Of those correlates studied in more tha…

Cohen syndrome is associated with major glycosylation defects

2014

International audience; Cohen syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with multisytemic clinical features due to mutations in the VPS13B gene, which has recently been described encoding a mandatory membrane protein involved in Golgi integrity. As the Golgi complex is the place where glycosylation of newly synthesized proteins occurs, we hypothesized that VPS13B deficiency, responsible of Golgi apparatus disturbance, could lead to glycosylation defects and/or mysfunction of this organelle, and thus be a cause of the main clinical manifestations of CS. The glycosylation status of CS serum proteins showed a very unusual pattern of glycosylation characterized by a significant accum…

Crowdsourcing for innovation: understanding the role of IPR, governance and fairness in crowdsourcing contests

The paper gives a conditional understanding about the importance of environmental-based learning to establish ecological intelligence. Environmental-based anguage learning is an effort to increase knowledge and understanding aiming at giving critical understanding to the community learners in order to build ecological intelligence for human sake.Environmental preservation effort through the texts in language learning representatively gives a picture of how rich human knowledge about the nature is. Thus, it is worth that through formal and non-formal education which are the basis for intellectual community, environmental-based learning is integrated in language learning. This is reasonable s…

European Politics of Food Origin. A Semiotic Analysis of Geographical Indications

2021

This chapter investigates the relationship between food products and origin places within the European Union food policies. In the 1990s, the EU established a Geographical Indication (GI) system, constituted of a set of food quality brands and a legal framework for food, wine and spirits. This system, defined as a sui generis model by insiders, entails a strong EU government participation in the typical food symbolic and material modelling. The sui generis model establishes a government monopoly on the place-based labels registration and institutes an atypical kind of intellectual property based on geographic marks. By proposing a semiotic approach toward the analysis of European Geographic…

La vocazione centripeta. Una divergenza ideologica tra Libanio e Temistio di fronte alla prospettiva costantinopolitana dei buleuti di Antiochia

2016

Questa ricerca è incentrata su due personaggi, Temistio e Libanio, che sono esempio di intellettuali orientati verso una prospettiva volta a cogliere i profili di interazione sociale che la loro attività letteraria seppe contemplare. Se i due sono assimilabili per formazione culturale e professione, restano tuttavia ben distinti l’uno dall’altro per tutte le altre rispettive scelte di vita: dal 354 d.C. Libanio si stabilisce definitivamente ad Antiochia, un anno prima di quello in cui Temistio viene nominato senatore di Costantinopoli, inaugurando di seguito la sua carriera di intellettuale organico. L’opera di Temistio e quella di Libanio sono, in realtà, due manifestazioni tra loro antipo…
