1. Variability in Verbal and Nonverbal Communication in Infants at Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder: Predictors and Outcomes

Author

Franchini, M., Duku, E., Armstrong, V., Brian, J., Bryson, S. E., Garon, N., Roberts, W., Roncadin, C., Zwaigenbaum, L., and Smith, I. M.

Abstract

Early communication impairment is among the most-reported first concerns in parents of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Using a parent-report questionnaire, we derived trajectory groups for early language and gesture acquisition in siblings at high risk for ASD and in children at low risk, during their first 2 years of life. Developmental skills at 6 months were associated with trajectory group membership representing growth in receptive language and gestures. Behavioral symptoms also predicted gesture development. All communication measures were strongly related to clinical and developmental outcomes. Trajectory groups further indicated slowest language/gesture acquisition in infants with later ASD diagnoses, in particular when associated with language delay. Overall, our results confirm considerable variability in communication development in high-risk infants.

4. Estrogen Receptors Critically Regulate Bones’ Adaptive Responses to Loading

Author

Lanyon, L., Armstrong, V., Saxon, L., Sunters, A., Sugiyama, T., Zaman, G., and Price, J.

Abstract

Abstract: Estrogen receptors critically regulate a number of steps in the pathways in osteoblasts and osteocytes activated by exposure to dynamic mechanical strain. It is these pathways that are responsible for converting the immediate effects of strain change into a coherent stimulus for (re)modelling. It is this stimulus that controls the (re)modelling responsible for matching bones’ architecture to their customary loading. Less effective processing of this strain-related stimulus will have the same downstream effects as the absence of strain. The (re)modelling consequences are the same as those of disuse; bone loss to a genetically determined minimum. Here we review studies showing involvement of the estrogen receptor in a number of bone cells’ early responses to mechanical stimulation. We hypothesise that the structurally inappropriate bone loss in post-menopausal women, and ageing men, that is associated with declining estrogen, is due in part to less effective processing of potentially osteogenic strain-related stimulation in osteoblasts and osteocytes due to reduced availability of estrogen receptors.

5. Transforming Teaching and Learning: Embedding ICT into Everyday Classroom Practices

Author

Sutherland, R., Armstrong, V., and Barnes, S.

Abstract

Drawing on socio-cultural theory, this paper describes how teams of teachers and researchers have developed ways of embedding information and communications technology (ICT) into everyday classroom practices to enhance learning. The focus is on teaching and learning across a range of subjects: English, history, geography, mathematics, modern foreign languages, music and science. The influence of young people's out-of-school uses of ICT on in-school learning is discussed. The creative tension between idiosyncratic and institutional knowledge construction is emphasised and we argue that this is exacerbated by the use of ICT in the classroom.

Abstract

This article analyzes the principal characteristics, trends and causes of the strikes that took place in Chile during the period 1979-1995, as well as the most important difierences currently found in the analysis of legal and ilegal strikes, type of industry, unionized and nonunionized strikers, public, private and state-owned companies, and municipal sectors. The number of strikes, workers involved, man-days lost and average duration was used in the analysis. The study is based on the universe of strikes that took place in the above mentioned period, and the sources of inlbnnation were the Directorate of Labor, Carabineros de Chile (police) and the written press. Some of the principal findings that should be mentioned are the important number of strikes that occurred in the public sector -in which they are forbidden-, the increase in the number of illegal strikes and the decrease in the number of legal stiikes in the private sector, and the wage increases and protests against discharge as the main causes of strikes.
