This chapter will focus on the positionality of a teacher-researcher as a moral agent (Macfarlane 2009) when conducting ethnography. As Guillemin and Gillam above, I find the double role of a teacher-researcher informing all the phases of the research. Therefore, reflection is also needed, not only as the final phase of the research project, but throughout the process. I will discuss ethical considerations concerning both the students and the colleagues, moments of reflection and my solutions on how to define the topics and design the methods when conducting ethnography in my own educational community.

Метою статті є теоретичне обґрунтування поняття батьківської компетентності батьків дітей з аутизмом та визначення концептуальних засад її дослідження. Незважаючи на щорічне збільшення кількості людей з аутизмом, проблема виховання дітей-аутистів в Україні та у світі не дістала наразі достатнього наукового осмислення; зокрема, мало відомо про методи ефективного впливу на рівень компетентності батьків дітей і підлітків з аутизмом та про оптимізацію соціальних комунікацій батьків на мікро- і макрорівні. Батьки, що виховують дітей з особливостями розвитку, тобто в умовах трансформації батьківських функцій, стикаються з додатковими проблемами порівняно з батьками нормотипових дітей. Батьківська компетентність, у сучасному її розумінні, характеризується здатністю родителя до виконання батьківських функцій у такий спосіб, що сприяє позитивному напряму фізичного, розумового, емоційного, мовленнєвого, комунікативного тощо розвитку дитини за умов забезпечення родителем достатньої якості власного життя. Головне питання дослідження: яка саме батьківська поведінка і які самі батьківські соціально-психологічні характеристики забезпечують позитивний напрям розвитку дитини з аутизмом і яким чином соціальне оточення як на мікрорівні (сім'я, фахівці педагогічних закладів, друзі, знайомі), так і на макрорівні (організації громадянського суспільства, державні організації та служби, органи державної влади) соціальної комунікації впливають на цю здатність. У статті представлено соціально-психологічну модель системної підтримки батьків дітей з аутизмом на рівні громадянського суспільства; модель батьківської компетентності щодо виховання дітей з аутизмом (засновану на підструктурах особистості соціально-психолого-індивідуального виміру та діяльнісного виміру психологічної структури особистості В. Рибалки) та схему вимірювання її показників. Описано структуру навчальної програми підтримки компетентного батьківства для батьків дітей з аутизмом. Фундаментальні дослідження батьківських практик з дітьми-аутистами, виявлення зв'язків між дитячими і батьківськими характеристиками та батьківськими характеристиками і рівнем батьківської компетентності допоможуть побудувати науково обґрунтовану систему сприяння компетентному батьківству батьків дітей з аутизмом, підвищити рівень та якість взаємодії між батьками та спеціалістами освітніх і реабілітаційних закладів, які працюють з дітьми-аутистами, сприятимуть виведенню програм компетентнісної підтримки батьків дітей з аутизмом на рівень муніципальних програм підтримки батьків дітей з інвалідністю та впровадженню цих програм у загальні протоколи втручання, догляду та допомоги при аутизмі.

This work addresses the historical response of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to perceived irredentist threats in its contested territories. This is assessed through a comparative case analysis. The four cases are Taiwan, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet. The response of the first four generations of CCP leaders: Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, are analyzed through a framework that evaluates domestic and international priorities, domestic self-determination sentiment, strength of domestic self-determination movements, and the status of self-determination. The findings of this framework are used to project the response of current CCP leader and President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, to separatist threats.

International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications(IJACSA), 7(9), 2016 ; Cloud computing is a modern term refers to a model for emerging computing, where it is possible to use machines in large data centers for delivering services in a scalable manner, so corporations has become in need for large scale inexpensive computing. Recently, several governments have begun to utilize cloud computing architectures, applications and platforms for meeting the needs of their constituents and delivering services. Security occupies the first rank of obstacles that face cloud computing for governmental agencies and businesses. Cloud computing is surrounded by many risks that may have major effects on services and information supported via this technology. Also, Cloud Computing is one of the promising technology in which the scientific community has recently encountered. Cloud computing is related to other research areas such as distributed and grid computing, Service-Oriented Architecture, and virtualization, as cloud computing inherited their limitations and advancements. It is possible to exploit new opportunities for security. This paper aim is to discuss and analyze how achieve mitigation for cloud computing security risks as a basic step towards obtaining secure and safe environment for cloud computing. The results showed that, Using a simple decision tree model Chaid algorithm security rating for classifying approach is a robust technique that enables the decision-maker to measure the extent of cloud securing, and the provided services. It was proved throughout this paper that policies, standards, and controls are critical in management process to safeguard and protect the systems as well as data. The management process should analyze and understand cloud computing risks for protecting systems and data from security exploits ; http://thesai.org/Downloads/Volume7No9/Paper_21-Application_of_Intelligent_Data_Mining_Approach_in_Securing.pdf

AbstractWe examined how locally situated and transnationally circulated meanings of feminism interact forming implicit cultural meanings, and how these meanings about feminism appear in women's accounts of their own work and identifications. Using twenty‐four oral histories, we identified four implicit cultural meanings about feminism: (1) "Mainstream" feminism is/as white and middle‐class; (2) Feminists are lesbians; (3) Feminism is/as hostile to men; and (4) Feminism is/as a "western" ideology. In addition, we identified three strategies activists used to respond to these meanings: (1) distancing themselves from the word "feminist/feminism"; (2) explicitly embracing the term and clarifying its meaning; and (3) shifting from an individual to a structural level of analysis. Examining these discourses in a multinational sample with women of various racial‐ethnic and indigenous identities, we found that implicit cultural meanings often identified in the US or as western interact with locally found meanings affecting activists in the Majority World. Activists' use of these implicit cultural meanings complicated prevalent, but often simplistic, narratives about feminists, feminism, and identity.

Although several studies show that self–esteem varies according to neighborhood context, few have directly examined potential mediators of this association. In this paper, we use longitudinal survey data from the Welfare, Children, and Families project (1999, 2001) to examine the association between perceived neighborhood disorder and self–esteem among low–income urban women with children in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio, testing for city heterogeneity. Building on social disorganization theory and previous research, we examine the mediating influence of social support. Our longitudinal models show that higher levels of disorder at baseline are associated with lower levels of social support and self–esteem. We also observe that increases in disorder over the study period are associated with concurrent losses in social support and self–esteem. Our mediation analyses suggest that perceived neighborhood disorder may undermine self–esteem by limiting opportunities for social support. Reducing signs and perceptions of disorder by improving the social and physical landscapes of neighborhoods may uniquely contribute to self–worth of low–income urban women with children.

Background Biosimilars are expected to decrease growing health care expenditures. Given that uptake of biosimilars has been modest, automatic substitution has been suggested to increase their use, but the practice is not yet allowed or implemented in many jurisdictions. Methods A systematic review was performed by searching databases Scopus, Medline (Ovid), CINAHL, and Web of Science. Peer-reviewed, original studies written in English and published during the period January 1, 2006 to April 24, 2021 reporting any interventions, pilots or any other studies including experiences or perceptions of any relevant stakeholders on automatic substitution of biologics were included without limitation by setting or geography. The quality of the included studies were evaluated by pre-determined criteria. Results Altogether, 27 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, of which 23 were surveys, and four semi-structured interviews reporting mainly stakeholders' perceptions on automatic substitution. Most of the studies (56%, 15/27) were from Europe. Studies were conducted among prescribers (n = 12), pharmacists (n = 5), patients (n = 4), payers (n = 1), and mixed stakeholders (n = 5). The primary objective of the majority (81%, 22/27) of the studies was to investigate some other biosimilar topic than automatic substitution. The reported perceptions of substitution were mainly negative. Studies evaluating risks, safety or effectiveness, or reporting real-life experiences of biologic substitution were lacking except one intervention and two prospective risk management studies. The overall quality of the studies was low to moderate, and the results were not generalizable due to convenience sampling not representing the populations of interest, and low response rates. Conclusions The current research evidence on the automatic substitution of biologics is scarce and of low to moderate quality, reflecting low stakeholder knowledge and their cautious attitude towards biosimilars. The safe and efficient implementation of automatic substitution requires well-designed practices, pilot studies, and evolving legislation. ; Peer reviewed
