Quality-of-life assessment in autistic adults with lower support needs
Quality of life (QoL) has become a key construct in the planning of support for people with disabilities. In the case of autism spectrum disorder, particularly among adults with lower support needs, there is a notable lack of valid, sensitive, and culturally adapted tools to assess their well-being. Although this group often presents a functional cognitive and linguistic profile, they experience significant—and frequently overlooked—challenges in…
Family quality of life after brain injuries
These findings highlight the importance of addressing FQoL by acknowledging the different family members' experiences. From a family-centered approach, professionals should align to the goals and needs of different family members to provide appropriate support, aiming at enhancing the overall quality of life for families affected by ABI
Use of Results-Oriented Monitoring tools to enhance global health accountability
Governments and organisations must demonstrate accountability and delivery of results. Results-Oriented Monitoring (ROM) is a European Commission mechanism aiming at enhancing internal control and management. The Health System Strengthening (HSS) for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme provides support towards achieving UHC through policy dialogue in 115 countries. Drawing from the ROM review of the HSS for UHC programme, we examine the val…
Radical Women and Digital Bodies
This Dialogues takes the 2017–18 exhibition Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985 as a starting point to discuss Latin American art today, addressing its history, legacy, and contribution to positive social change through the prism of feminism. Seeking to challenge hegemonic readings of the categories of “Latin America” and “feminism” while reinstating the contribution of Latin American women, Latina/Latinx, and Chicana/Chicanx artists to …
Human papillomavirus vaccine initiation and up-to-date vaccine coverage for adolescents after the implementation of school-entry policy in Puerto Rico
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been proven effective in the prevention of infection with high-risk HPV types, which can lead to the development of six HPV-related cancers. Puerto Rico (PR) adopted a mandatory HPV vaccination school-entry policy that took effect in August 2018. While school-entry requirements are generally accepted as an effective approach for increasing vaccination rates, there are few studies that have documented the…
Predictive Factors of Self-Reported Quality of Life in Acquired Brain Injury
Background: The sequelae and disabilities that follow an acquired brain injury (ABI) may negatively affect quality of life (QoL). The main objective of the study is to describe the QoL after an ABI and identify the predictors of a better QoL. Methods : Prospective cohort study with follow-up measurement after one-year. The sample comprised 203 adults with ABIs (64% male) aged 18-86 years ( M = 53.01, SD = 14.44). Stroke was the main etiology of t…
Examining the Suitability of the List of Indicators Describing Age-Related Typical Support Needs
The list of indicators is a form of training material used for the Supports Intensity Scale-Children's version (SIS-C). It is aimed at helping interviewers distinguishing between extraordinary and age-related typical support needs in children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) when implementing the SIS-C, and thus improve supports planning. The aim of this study is to adapt and test the list of indicators' content validity and…
Toward a Better “Person–Environment Fit” through Items Calibration of the SIS-C
The Supports Intensity Scale-Children's Version (SIS-C) is the only available tool to assess extraordinary support needs for children and adolescents with intellectual disability. In past years, several works have proclaimed the need for its ongoing improvement as a measurement instrument. To contribute to this line of research, the goal of this work is to analyze the reliability of the SIS-C and its usefulness to distinguish between different le…
Aminas biógenas en alimentos
Las aminas biógenas son compuestos nitrogenados de pequeño tamaño con actividad biológica que se forman por la descarboxilación enzimática de ciertos aminoácidos. Las aminas biógenas se encuentran presentes en todos los seres vivos, en los que participan en procesos biológicas de gran importancia. Sin embargo, debido al metabolismo de algunos microorganismos, estos compuestos se pueden acumular en alimentos en concentraciones elevadas, constituy…

Art and Architecture in Mexico
This book is a timely contribution to the literature in English about Latin American art. It is the first extensive English-language survey of Mexican art since Joshua Taylor's translation of Justino Fernández's book Arte mexicano, de sus orígenes a nuestros días (1958), published as A Guide to Mexican Art (1969). The later compendium Mexico: Splendors of Thirty Centuries (1990), released in connection with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibi…
Evidence for Long-Term Impact of Pasos Adelante
Effective community-level chronic disease prevention is critical to population health within developed and developing nations. Pasos Adelante is a preventive intervention that aims to reduce chronic disease risk with evidence of effectiveness in US-Mexico residing, Mexican origin, participants. This intervention and related ones also implemented with community health workers have been shown to improve clinical, behavioral and quality of life indi…
The Preparation of Graduate Health Professionals for Working with Bereaved Clients
Students enrolled in health profession courses require grief education so that, upon graduation, they are able to meet the needs of clients living with loss and grief. We investigated grief and loss education in six Australian university programs--medicine, nursing, counseling, psychology, social work, and occupational therapy--drawing from course documents and face-to-face interviews with key staff and final-year students. Only the counseling co…
Interviewing Latina Girls for Child Health Research
Latina youth are at high risk for obesity, subsequent diabetes, and related conditions (Popkin and Udry 1998). Ethnographic studies are needed to help design effective, culturally tailored obesity prevention programs for Latina girls. Despite the need for participation in disease prevention clinical trials, researchers often find it difficult to recruit Latino samples (Umana-Taylor and Bamaca 2004; Swanson and Ward 1995). In the course of conduct…

Gordon Pask
Despite his influence in art, architecture and theater, British cybernetician Gordon Pask is rarely acknowledged in histories of digital culture and virtually unknown in the history of art. Pask is better known as a theoretician than as an artist or designer, although his machines, artwork and theories were closely related. This article investigates the relevance of specific aspects of Pask's theories to his best-known artwork, The Colloquy of Mo…
Physical and Sexual Violence During Pregnancy and After Delivery
Objectives. We sought to describe and compare prevalence rates of and risk factors for violence against women during pregnancy and postpartum. Methods. Physical and sexual violence and violence risk factors were assessed during late pregnancy and 6 months postpartum in a prospective study of pregnant women with (n=336) and without (n=298) HIV in 4 US states. Results. Overall, 10.6% of women reported having experienced violence, 8.9% during pregna…

Exploring differential attrition rates among system of care evaluation participants
The purpose of the present study is to investigate differential attrition rates in terms of both demographic characteristics and initial levels of child functioning of participants in North Carolina's system of care evaluation. Participants included 303 families (78 dropped out of the study, a 26% attrition rate). Families dropped out of the evaluation for three main reasons: refusal to participate, moving, or inability to contact the family. The…
Correlates of Cervical Cancer Screening Among Women in Taiwan
In this study we examine several theory-based psychosocial factors on cervical cancer screening among Chinese women in Taiwan (N = 125). The reliabilities of the scales showed good internal consistence (Chronbach alpha ranged from 0.68 to 0.88). We found that 30% of the women had never received a Papanicolaou (Pap) test, and only 58% reported a screening in the past 3 years (adherent). Intention to have a Pap test in the coming year was higher am…

Postcolonial media theory
The artist Guillermo Gomez-Pena recently commented that in discussions of electronic media “twenty years of post-colonial theory simply disappear.”1 He was referring to the large and influential body of work known as postcolonial studies, which for the past two decades has been notoriously absent from electronic media practice, theory, and criticism. This absence is not due to the lack of theory in the field, as there has always been theoreticall…

Race in Cyberspace (review)
This collection is the first scholarly attempt to examine issues of race in "cyberspace". A discussion of this subject in any medium has been pressing for more than a decade. Despite the exponential growth of the computer industry and network communications during the last twenty years, considerations of the role of "race" in the production and popular uses of the technology have been repressed. For breaking the silence, this book will remain an …
