Social Landscape

The paper illustrates a research on some actions of citizens that convey meanings to places and generate empathy for them. The research was carried out in 2019 and it focused on some case studies in the Venetian area of Italy, relating to two specific macro-attitudes: walking and narrating. The research suggests that these actions can be evaluated as innovative landscape practices that institutions and planners can use to learn more about perceived and social landscape. The article outlines the semiotic dynamics and the languages that are implicit in such actions, debating on how societies can be involved in landscape politics.

Critical Phenomenology

In this article the metaphor of the storyteller is employed to argue the case for a critical phenomenology applied to understanding the “text” of the daily life-world of young children in childcare settings. The ideology of “preschooling” is examined and specific case studies of young rebels are presented. With the aid of Gadamer's notion of the “fusion of horizons,” an attempt is made to understand the experiential world of the young child. In the process, themes depicting the social landscape of early institutional life are discussed.

Chapter 1 commences with a discussion of the changing cultural and social landscape of Ireland at the turn of the century, particularly in the context of religion and migration. It explores two ritual case studies based on fieldwork with a Russian Orthodox and Nigerian Pentecostal ritual community in Limerick city, Ireland. It looks at the characteristic of resonance through an examination of the relationship between sound and space. In the face of ritual “absences” often experienced by migrant communities unable to ritualize in their own space or with ritually specific artifacts or vestments, singing is shown to exhibit a compensatory ritual “authority.” Through the metaphor of pilgrimage, it examines how new migrant communities are contributing to a reimagining of traditional Irish Catholicism as a more inclusive space of belonging.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.

Multiple Regression Technique

Short-form versions of the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar (Toronto, 1973) and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (Lee, 1971) were devised for use with bilingual Latino children while preserving the original normative data. Application of a multiple regression technique to data collected on 60 lower social status Latino children (four years and six months to seven years and one month) from Spanish Harlem and Yonkers, New York, yielded a small but powerful set of predictor items from the Spanish and English tests. Clinicians may make rapid and accurate predictions of STSG or NSST total screening scores from administration of substantially shortened versions of the instruments. Case studies of Latino children from Chicago and Miami serve to cross-validate the procedure outside the New York metropolitan area.

Communication Needs

As the field of telepractice grows, perceived barriers to service delivery must be anticipated and addressed in order to provide appropriate service delivery to individuals who will benefit from this model. When applying telepractice to the field of AAC, additional barriers are encountered when clients with complex communication needs are unable to speak, often present with severe quadriplegia and are unable to position themselves or access the computer independently, and/or may have cognitive impairments and limited computer experience. Some access methods, such as eye gaze, can also present technological challenges in the telepractice environment. These barriers can be overcome, and telepractice is not only practical and effective, but often a preferred means of service delivery for persons with complex communication needs.

Purpose What does it mean to be social? In addition, how is that different from behaving socially appropriately? The purpose of this clinical focus article is to tackle these two questions along with taking a deeper look into how communication challenges in childhood apraxia of speech impact social competencies for young children. Through the lens of early social development and social competency, this clinical focus article will explore how speech motor challenges can impact social development and what happens when young learners miss early opportunities to grow socially. While not the primary focus, the clinical focus article will touch upon lingering issues for individuals diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech as they enter the school-aged years. Conclusion Finally, it will address some foundational aspects of intervention and offer ideas and suggestions for structuring therapy to address both speech and social goals.
