The solidarity value is a variant of the well-known Shapley value in which some sense of solidarity between the players is implemented allowing the disabled to receive help from the fortunate ones. We investigate on how fairly solidarity expenses are shared. We discuss the unwanted side effect of someone paying undue solidarity contributions as far as reversing his condition from a privileged to a needy person. A deeper case study is conducted for two classes of TU games that we obtain by modeling two real world business contexts. Here, we trace all player to player transfers of funds that arise when solidarity actions are processed, and we answer the question of who settles the solidarity bills. Also, we obtain the threshold position of a player below which he gets solidarity help, but above which he instead pays out donation.

The Disabled

The international disability music scene is a thriving musical subculture consisting of performers self-identifying as disabled who use their performances to explore experiences of living with disability. As a genre predominantly written by, about and for people with disabilities, it provides a space for discourse about life with disability which is largely unmediated by governmental policy, political correctness or able-bodied facilitators. As such, it is a medium through which people with disability are free to express opinions about sex and romance rarely seen in mainstream media. This article examines the ways in which the topics of sexuality and romance are explored within disability music culture. It will focus on four case study songs, I Love My Body (1988) by Johnny Crescendo, Vagina Ain’t Handicapped (2011) by Laura Martinez, Def Deaf Girls (2012) by Sean Forbes and No Goodbyes (2012) by Rory Burnside and Rohan Brooks from Rudely Interrupted. These four songs will be used to explore the themes of body image, cultural expectations of the disabled body, the benefits of dating fellow members of the disability community and relationships. This article also draws on the author’s own experience as a person with disability and a musician in a band that regularly performs on the disability music scene.

Paper describes a smart, key and a motor controlled wheel chair. This is been designed for the disabled persons and aged ones. It is a “Key-controlled Wheel chair” that follows the commands given. The commands are given by a smart phone which has Bluetooth and the command is transmitted to the Line follower Arduino board. For example, when the user gives command like “Go to room number 2‟ then chair will move in forward direction then goes to room number 2 and likewise, when the user gives command like “Go to Back position‟ it moves towards back likewise “Left‟, “Right” and “Stop‟ for making the wheelchair to stop. This is designed for saving the cost, time and energy of the disabled persons. IR sensors are used and they help in detecting the obstacles in the passage.

<p>This study explored the level of peer acceptance of students with visual impairments and their perception of acceptance by their sighted peers in an inclusive setting in Ghana using the case study design. Twenty students with visual impairments and two resource teachers were sampled based on census sampling for the study. Interview data were coded and analysed using the thematic approach. The study indicated that students with visual impairments were accepted by their sighted peers, more especially, based on their social skills and academic prowess. The study further revealed that students with visual impairments have a positive perception about their social participation in the school. Although the students were fairly satisfied about their participation, they expressed their frustration on how some teachers’ instructions excluded them in class. It was recommended among others in the study that teachers in inclusive schools should organise more counselling or sensitisation programmes for all students to educate them on issues of disabilities and how to ensure friendly relationships between students with and those without disabilities. This would promote better acceptance of the disabled by those without disabilities. Resource persons who are special educators are also encouraged to periodically sensitize teachers on classroom instructions.</p><p> </p><p>Cette étude a exploré le niveau d'acceptation par les pairs des étudiants ayant de déficiences visuelles et leur perception de l'acceptation par leurs pairs voyants dans un environnement inclusif au Ghana, en utilisant la conception d'étude de cas. Vingt étudiants ayant de déficiences visuelles et deux enseignants-ressources ont été sélectionnés sur la base d'un échantillonnage de recensement pour l'étude. Les données issues de l’entretien ont été codées et analysées à l'aide de l'approche thématique. L'étude indique que les étudiants malvoyants sont acceptés par leurs pairs voyants, plus particulièrement en raison de leurs compétences sociales et de leurs prouesses scolaires. L'étude a également révélé que les étudiants ayant de déficiences visuelles ont une perception positive par rapport à leur participation sociale à l'école. Bien que les étudiants soient assez satisfaits de leur participation, ils ont exprimé leur frustration sur la façon dont certains enseignants les excluent au cours de l’enseignement en classe. L'étude recommande, entre autres, que les enseignants des écoles inclusives organisent davantage de programmes de conseil ou de sensibilisation pour tous les élèves afin de les éduquer sur les questions de handicap et sur la manière d'assurer des relations amicales entre les élèves handicapés et non handicapés. Cela favoriserait l'acceptation des personnes handicapées par les personnes non handicapées. Les personnes ressources qui sont des éducateurs spécialisés sont également encouragées à sensibiliser périodiquement les enseignants sur l’enseignement en classe.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0893/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
