A university course offered to rural teachers of the gifted was the medium through which a parent/teacher organization was formed. The Respond/Read/Replicate/Report System was used to develop course objectives, methods, and evaluative means reflective of the individual needs of the teachers, their gifted students, and their parents in rural Madison, Florida. The unique characteristics of the delivery system and the unusual collaborative efforts of university and community officials are described.

“Why is it that there are so few primary children in gifted programs?” Or would it be better to ask, “Why is it that there are so few primary programs for gifted children?” We need to identify gifted children at early ages and deal with their unique abilities, if we are to enhance these abilities. If we fail to do this, we may observe a degeneration in the gifted child's desire for learning. It is our obligation as educators to provide for the individual needs of all of our students and that includes our gifted students. — H.W.M.

The diagnosis process is the first step to knowing a type of disease. This type of disease caused by mosquitoes is one of the major viruses (MAVY), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and malaria. Sometimes not everyone can find the virus that is carried by this mosquito, usually children who are susceptible to this virus because the immune system that has not been built perfectly is perfect. To know for sure which virus is infected by mosquitoes, it can diagnose by seeing symptoms perceived symptoms. Expert systems are one of the most used artificial intelligence techniques today because expert systems can act as consultations. In this case the authors make a system to start a diagnosis process with variable centered intelligent rule system (VCIRS) methods through perceived symptoms. With the facilities provided for users and administrators, allowing both users and administrators to use this system according to their individual needs. This expert system is made with the Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 programming language.Keywords: Expert System, Mayora Virus, Variable Centered Intelligent Rule System (VCIRS)The diagnosis process is the first step to knowing a type of disease.

Abstract Background Most people with dementia (PwD) are cared for at home, with general practitioners (GPs) playing a key part in the treatment. However, primary dementia care suffers from a number of shortcomings: Often, diagnoses are made too late and therapies by GPs do not follow the guidelines. In cases of acute crises, PwD are too often admitted to hospital with adverse effects on the further course of the disease. The aim of this study is to implement and evaluate a new GP-based, complex dementia care model, DemStepCare. DemStepCare aims to ensure demand-oriented, stepped care for PwD and their caregivers. Methods/design In a cluster randomized controlled trial, the care of PwD receiving a complex intervention, where the GP is supported by a multi-professional team, is compared to (slightly expanded) usual care. GPs are clustered by GP practice, with 120 GP practices participating in total. GP practices are randomized to an intervention or a control group. 800 PwD are to be included per group. Recruitment takes place in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. In addition, a second control group with at least 800 PwD will be formed using aggregated routine data from German health insurance companies. The intervention comprises the training of GPs, case management including repeated risk assessment of the patients’ care situation, the demand-oriented service of an outpatient clinic, an electronic case record, external medication analyses and a link to regional support services. The primary aims of the intervention are to positively influence the quality of life for PwD, to reduce the caregivers’ burden, and to reduce the days spent in hospital. Secondary endpoints address medication adequacy and GPs’ attitudes and sensitivity towards dementia, among others. Discussion The GP-based dementia care model DemStepCare is intended to combine a number of promising interventions to provide a complex, stepped intervention that follows the individual needs of PwD and their caregivers. Its effectiveness and feasibility will be assessed in a formative and a summative evaluation.

Norwegian educational policy focuses on inclusive, equivalent, and adapted education for all. We followed procedures for an inductive thematic approach to explore the educational experiences of seventeen gifted students (age twelve – fifteen). The inductive thematic analysis revealed three key themes: the educational system, the joy of learning, and problematic issues concerning school and learning. Our results are discussed in light of educational policy and Gagné’s Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent, and indicate that the Norwegian educational system does not meet these gifted students’ needs at either the individual or systemic levels. This study is vital for gaining a better understanding of the Norwegian perspective as well as the wider Nordic setting.

Researchers have long understood that children's drawings provide meaningful insights into the individual. This research extends previous use of Kinetic School Drawings (KSD) by asking students to represent their ideal as well as their actual school experiences. The drawings provide nonverbal documentation of gifted students' perceptions of their current school experiences and clearly indicate the changes the students would prefer in their schooling. Information on the particular educational preferences of gifted students can be applied, whether or not these students are served by special programs, to insure that their school experiences meet their unique educational needs.

The management of ileostomy was revolutionised in 1944 when an American patient named Rutzen invented the modern appliance. The original model consisted of a flange and bag in one piece, with a drainage outlet on the bag. Many modifications have since been developed, and a number of manufacturers provide a wide variety of flanges, bags and ancillaries. Choice is dictated mainly by the surgeon’s preferences and the individual needs and preferences of the patient. The subject seems not to lend itself to comparative study, and none has been made.

Access to education is one of the main human rights. Everyone should have access to education and be capable of benefiting from it. However there are a number who are excluded, not because of a lack of ability but simply because they have a disability or specific need which current education systems do not address. A learning system in which content, tools and interfaces can be personalised and adapted to the individual needs and preferences of a variety of learners, including those with disabilities, becomes inclusive. Assessment is an integral part of an e-learning environment and therefore it has to provide not only inclusive e-learning content but also inclusive e-assessment. The proposed research investigates an intelligent adaptable e-learning system for assessing students' level of skill, knowledge and understanding regardless of their disabilities or accessibility needs. It is based on an innovative use of world's first open source adaptable widget design and authoring toolkit (WIDGaT) as the prototyping environment.

Privately administered pension schemes may be divided into 3 main classes:—(1) those which provide pensions based on the salary received by the members.(2) The type known as the “Money-purchase” fund in which each year's contribution is applied as a single premium to purchase an amount of pension at the retiring age.(3) Funds which provide pensions which are fixed in amount in return for a definite contribution which varies according to the age at entry.There are, of course, numerous funds which do not fall exactly into one of these categories—in fact, private funds are usually framed so as to suit the individual needs or preferences of the employers and the members.
