AbstractIn the past 25 years, scientific understanding of dyslexia and other learning disabilities has seen rapid progress in domains involving definition and classification, neuropsychological correlates, neurobiological factors, and intervention. I discuss this progress, emphasizing the central organizing influence of research and theory on basic academic skills on identification and sampling issues. I also emphasize how neuropsychological approaches to dyslexia have evolved and the importance of an interdisciplinary perspective for understanding dyslexia. (JINS, 2009, 15, 501–508.)

It does not seem possible we are beginning year IV of PREP. Those who have been with us since the beginning will recall that the Pediatrics Review in Education Program, PREP, is designed as a six-year cycle. Each year objectives are developed by panels of pediatricians drawn from practice and teaching for two areas: Recent Advances of importance to the general pediatrician and Topics for Annual Review. Recent Advances cover the entire field of pediatrics, but are limited to information developed in the past six years; Topics are limited to a cluster area with no time limitation. For the 1982/83 Year, the Topics for Annual Review include community health, school health, accidents, poisoning and trauma, athletics and physical fitness, learning disabilities and school adjustment problems, adolescent medicine, delinquency, and drug abuse.

Nominal Rigidity

The new Keynesians made more rapid progress in understanding the microeconomics of unemployment than in understanding the microeconomics of nominal price rigidity. But the past five years have seen important breakthroughs in this second area. This paper will describe these breakthroughs, discuss our current understanding of nominal rigidity, and assess the work that remains to be done.

Memory Questionnaire

Introduction. The importance of memory is not restricted to remembering the knowledge and experiences of the past retrospective memory (RM), but also to remember what an individual must accomplish in the future prospective memory (PM). Objectives. The aim of this study was to identify RM and PM levels in students with learning disabilities (LD) according to some variables (gender, grade) and to identify the differences between the two types of memories. Methods. The study followed the comparative descriptive statistics. The study sample consisted of 37 male and female students with LD in middle school. The Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ) was used in this study. Results. The results include the following: a statistically significant decrease from the average in PM and RM levels in students with LD, the existence of statistically significant differences between PM and RM in students with LD for the RM, the presence of statistically significant differences in the PM and RM according to the gender variable for females, and the presence of statistically significant differences in PM and RM according to the grade variable for the third grade of middle school. Conclusion. Students with LD may suffer from a decrease in their capacity to remember in the future, which causes many difficulties in daily life. We guide teachers to use external AIDS for students with LD (such as writing notes) to help students remember performing their tasks.

Influence Perceptions

Going to the movies and viewing videos are very popular forms of entertainment. Cinematic stories and characters influence perceptions and opinions of many viewers. Studying film depictions, therefore, provides a unique perspective on society's views of individuals with disabilities. The purpose of this descriptive study was to investigate trends in Academy Award winning films that portray persons with disabilities. Over the decades, there have been an increasing number of awards involving “disability” movies; psychiatric disorders have been most frequently portrayed. Only two of the motion pictures identified presented children or youth with impairments, while none featured learning disabilities. Implications for special education professionals, with particular emphasis on using films for instructional purposes, are discussed.

The Cultural Revolution

The article aims to reveal the scientific contribution of M.Kh. Gerandokov. in the study of the problems of cultural development in the region, a conceptual approach to complex issues of the theory of culture, ethics, aesthetics. Particular emphasis is placed on the scientist’s innovative contribution to the historical and philosophical science and cultural studies, putting forward a new paradigmatic concept of national culture. In this direction, paying tribute to the cultural achievements of the previous era, he puts forward the concept of the «incompleteness» of the cultural revolution and theoretically defends the ways of its new stage in modern conditions. It is not about the alternative assessment of the culture of the past and the present, but about the author’s ability to see cultural phenomena in dialectical development. A huge amount of historical archival and other factual material in the context of the new methodology is correlated with the historical reality of the results of the cultural revolution, which, as it is recognized, were not adequate to the content of the theory of the cultural revolution, which formed the basis of the paradigm of its incompleteness. The authors consider the theoretical concept of M.Kh. Gerandokov. as a scientifically grounded attempt to bring the national culture closer to the system of modern civilization. The merits of Mikhail Khamzetovich in the integration of science and practice of cultural and educational activities are also noted.

It is a great distinction and a highly esteemed honour to be privileged to read the forty-seventh Wilbur Wright Memorial Lecture. It is also a distinct personal pleasure to be here. Over the past 15 years I have made periodic trips to England to visit the aircraft companies, to witness the spectacular Farnborough displays of the S.B.A.C. and to attend the Anglo-American Conferences of the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences. This has afforded opportunities to observe and admire the rapid progress you have made in aeronautics, the brilliant achievements of British engineers and scientists and, more importantly, the chance to make and deepen warm and valued friendships. The joint meetings of the Society and the Institute are proving to be fruitful ground for the exchange of ideas and for becoming better acquainted. May I express the sincere wish that I shall have the pleasure of welcoming many of you to the Seventh Anglo-American Conference which will be held in October 1959 in New York.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the extant literature on diabetes in people with learning disabilities (LD) and discuss implications for policy, practice and research. Design/methodology/approach The key findings are extracted from qualitative and quantitative studies and recent systematic literature reviews. These findings are discussed in the areas of prevalence, treatments and implications. Findings The complex health needs of people with LDs who are diagnosed or at risk of developing diabetes are gaining wider recognition, and recent studies have begun to implement and evaluate potential solutions. Further analysis and alignment between services is required. Originality/value Following a dearth of studies on diabetes in people with LD, the past decade has seen a sudden upsurge in large and diverse set of studies. This paper provides an overview on the extent of this study.

Bedrock or social construction? What Anthropocene science means for political theory

How should political thinkers deal with environmental science? The question has acquired a new urgency with the rise of the Anthropocene, a scientific concept rapidly assimilated by the social sciences and the humanities. In that respect, some critics have levelled against it the well-known objections that environmental political thinkers and philosophers have directed towards science at large in the past. Anthropocene science might lead towards planetary governmentality, imposing a reductive way of understanding both the planet and sustainability. This article will claim that a clear demarcation between scientific and sociopolitical enquiries is needed. Political thinkers should take the findings provided by natural scientists as the basis for normative exploration and the quest for meaning. Arendt’s reflections on truth and factfulness will help to make this point.
