7. The Changing World of Higher Education: Where Do Language Centres Fit in?

Author

Dijk, Anje, Engelen, Christine, and Korebrits, Liesbet

Abstract

This article assesses the current trends in language centre (LC) management in the Netherlands and Dutch-speaking Belgium. Twenty-five LCs are united under the umbrella of NUT, which offers its members the possibility to meet and discuss concrete professional subjects. Solutions, strategies and decisions emphasise the importance of national organisations of LCs like NUT, whose management wants to stimulate transparent communication on business policies and management experience between LCs. NUT is constantly looking for ways to transform ideas into innovative products and services, or to improve existing ones. Internationalisation is a hot topic, and universities primarily base their language policy on English and Dutch. University LCs could play an important role in making recommendations to policymakers--they test proficiency, offer remedial training, and provide translation and editing services. The importance of other languages is also an issue. Although multilingualism, especially proficiency in a third (or fourth) language in addition to one's mother tongue and English, deserves to be encouraged, available budgets are shrinking. Furthermore, LCs sometimes have to implement policy that is diametrically opposed to their own vision, and opportunities for cooperation are not yet being exploited to the full. University LCs are flexible, dynamic, independent entities that often behave differently from the faculty or service they are affiliated to--LCs can be seen as small businesses within a larger academic context. NUT LCs also cooperate with each other in the fields of mutual quality assurance and innovation. Other exciting projects include interuniversity cooperation in the area of language testing and partnerships with Dutch as a Second Language departments and with publishers of teaching materials and digital language tests. All three authors of this article are members of the board of NUT and directors of LCs (two in the Netherlands and one in Belgium). The article is based on their experiences as directors and on the trends they have observed within NUT.

Abstract

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Auf der Grundlage des neuen Leitbildes des Öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes (91. Gesundheitsministerkonferenz 2018) wurde in der Zukunftswerkstatt auf dem BVÖGD Kongress 2019 das Leitbild für einen modernen Kinder- und Jugendgesundheitsdienst (KJGD) abgeleitet. Ziel des Diskussionsprozesses war die Erörterung der zentralen Frage, welche bisherigen und neuen Kernaufgaben sind vom KJGD in seiner Funktion als Anwalt der Kinder und Jugendlichen und „Kümmerer“ um ihre Gesundheit umzusetzen – insbesondere in Anbetracht der stark sozial geprägten gesundheitlichen Unterschiede. Methodik Auf der Grundlage eines vorstrukturierten Bearbeitungsprozesses zu 5 Themenfeldern mit Leitfragen wurden die künftigen Kernaufgaben des KJGDs diskutiert und zusammengefasst. Des Weiteren wurde erarbeitet, welche neuen Anforderungen auf den KJGD zukommen und wie diese bewältigt werden können. Ergebnisse Besondere Kernaufgaben: a) Beratung der kommunalen Strukturen zu den Gesundheitsbedarfen der Kinder- und Jugendlichen und wie diesen entsprochen werden kann auf der Grundlage der Datenanalyse (auch sozialräumlich) der Schuleingangsuntersuchung; b) Moderation der Netzwerkaufgaben und das Einbringen von Gesundheitsaspekten als Querschnittsaufgabe in die kommunalen Strukturen; c) Unterstützung von vulnerablen Gruppen mit speziellen gesundheitlichen und psychosozialen Bedarfen. Besondere präventive Bereiche des KJGDs sind hier bspw. die Sprach- und Entwicklungsförderung und der Gesundheitsschutz. d) Begutachtung und Beratung – und dies „frei von kommerziellen Eigeninteressen“; e) Vernetzung mit Wissenschaft und Forschung. Professionen, die im KJGD benötigt werden: Fachärzte, Gesundheitsplaner (Unterstützung bei der Datenauswertung), Sozialpädagogen (zur individuellen Beratung, aber auch für eine gezielte Projektarbeit), Gesundheitsfachberufe wie (Familien)-Kinderkrankenschwestern/Familienhebammen, Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater und Psychologen (um der Zunahme an psychosomatischen und psychischen Erkrankungen gerecht zu werden). Schlussfolgerung Die bisherigen und neuen Kernaufgaben stellen an den KJGD große Herausforderungen sowohl in fachlicher als auch personeller Hinsicht. Diese Herausforderungen sind nicht nur durch ein neues Leitbild zu bewältigen, sondern auch durch eine breitgefächerte Stärkung des KJGDs. Hierzu gehört die Verankerung der Aufgaben in den verschiedenen Gesetzen auf Bundes- und Landesebene.

Abstract

Based on the mission statement of the Public Health Service (91Based on a pre-structured workflow comprising 5 topics with core questions, the future tasks of the PHCYS were discussed and summarized. Additionally, the participants elaborated which new requirements have to be addressed by the PHCYS and how they could be realized.Significant core tasks: a) Counselling of community structures on child and youth health needs, and how to respond based on first graders' health data (including social spherical assessment). b) Moderation of networking and introduction of health aspects as a cross-sectional task of the community sectors. c) Support of vulnerable groups with specific health and psychosocial needs. PHCYS's specific preventive fields are, for example, speech and development promotion and health protection. d) Medical assessment and counselling "free of commercial self-interest". e) Networking with science and research. Qualifications needed in the PHCYS: Medical specialists, a health planner (to support data analysis), social workers ( for counselling, but also for targeted projects), health professionals like family nurses/midwives, and also child and youth psychiatrists/psychologists (to meet the requirements of increased psychosomatic and psychological diseases).The previous and new core tasks are big challenges for the PHCYS, in terms of work and personnel that cannot be overcome just with a mission statement but need a broadly diversified reinforcement of PHCYS's work. This also includes anchoring of tasks in different laws at the federal and regional levels.Auf der Grundlage des neuen Leitbildes des Öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes (91.

Abstract

Item does not contain fulltext Aggression and callous-unemotional (CU) traits are common problems in incarcerated delinquent youth. The present study was conducted to examine whether living group climate was associated with aggression and CU traits in late adolescent male offenders (N = 156) in a German youth prison. A structural equation model was fitted to the data and showed associations between repression and reactive aggression and CU traits, but no associations between an open and supportive living group climate and aggression and CU traits. Previous research in Dutch youth prisons did not find a relation between repression and aggression, buta relation between a positive living group climate and less aggression. These different findings may reflect differences in the German and Dutch prison system. Implications for practice are discussed. 18 p.

Abstract

Lack of empathy is related to aggression, delinquency, and criminaloffense recidivism. The present study examined construct validityand reliability of the German version of the Basic Empathy Scale(BES) in a sample of 94 detained German male juvenile offenders(aged 14–26). A confirmatory factor analysis with a two-factormodel of affective and cognitive empathy showed a good fit tothe data. The factor structure of the original 20-item scale, however,could not be fully replicated in the German juvenile prison sample.Therefore, the scale was reduced to 12 items. Cronbach’s alphareliability coefficients were good for both affective and cognitiveempathy. Concurrent validity of the BES was demonstrated only forcognitive empathy,which was significantly associated with callousunemotionaltraits. Although results are promising, a replicationstudy is needed to test concurrent, convergent, divergent, andpredictive validity of the German version of the BES as well astest–retest reliability.

Abstract

Recently, Heynen, van der Helm, Stams & Korebrits (2014) developed and validated a German translation of the Prison Group Climate Instrument (PGCI) to investigate living group climate quality in forensic psychiatric institutions and secure residential treatment for delinquent youth. The German version contains 36 items and four scales, measuring perceptions of responsiveness of group workers, growth, atmosphere and repression. Aim of the present study was an introduction of the translated German PGCI into the German system. The PGCI gives juveniles a voice, enables group workers the possibility to optimize their professional behavior and gives staff feedback about safety and quality. In future research the PGCI can investigate the climate in judicial and forensic psychiatric care in Germany in order to improve treatment results, safety and control in a forensic setting. Kürzlich wurde durch Heynen, van der Helm, Stams & Korebrits (2014) eine deutsche Version des »Prison Group Climate Instrument« (PGCI) entwickelt und validiert, um das Gruppenklima im deutschen Jugendstrafvollzug ermitteln zu können. Diese Version des PGCI umfasst 36 Fragen auf vier Skalen. Der PGCI misst die von den Gefangenen wahrgenommene Unterstützung seitens der Mitarbeiter, ihre Wachstumschancen, die Atmosphäre in der Einrichtung und die Repression, welche die Strafgefangenen empfinden. Mit dem PGCI ist es beispielsweise möglich, jugendlichen (und erwachsenen) Strafgefangenen eine Stimme zu verleihen, Justizvollzugsbeamten ausführliches und praxisbezogenes Feedback zu ihrem Handeln zu geben und der Anstaltsleitung konkretere Steuerungsmöglichkeiten für mehr Sicherheit und eine qualitativ bessere Dienstleistung zu bieten. Durch die Arbeit mit dem PGCI könnte im deutschen Strafvollzug das Gruppenklima beurteilt und als Folge dessen die Behandlung, die interne Sicherheit und die Kontrolle optimiert werden.

Abstract

Previous research revealed hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis abnormalities in relation to antisocial and aggressive behavior. Some evidence suggests that low cortisol levels may serve as a biological marker for a severe antisocial subgroup with pronounced callous–unemotional (CU) traits. Children displaying the combination of severe antisocial behavior and CU traits appear to be particularly at risk of developing adult psychopathy. Given the lack of studies on the relationship between cortisol levels and CU traits in antisocial adolescents, the current study investigates whether cortisol levels are uniquely associated with CU traits as compared to other psychopathy dimensions (i.e., narcissism and impulsivity). Detained antisocial adolescents (n = 63) and a community comparison group (n = 62) completed diaries and collected three saliva samples daily on two days, with compliance monitored electronically. Psychopathy dimensions were assessed through self-report questionnaires. Externalizing symptoms were assessed by structured clinical interview. Multilevel regression analyses indicated no differences in cortisol levels or diurnal slopes between the two groups. Overall, cortisol levels were not significantly related to psychopathy dimensions. However, greater impulsivity was associated with lower cortisol levels in the community sample, but not in the antisocial group.ConclusionResults cast doubt on the notion of low cortisol levels as a biological marker for CU traits. Low basal cortisol levels appear to be more closely related to a general deficit in behavioral regulation. Implications for future research are discussed.Keywords: Psychopathy dimensions, HPA axis, Cortisol, Conduct disorder, CU traits, Narcissism, Impulsivity, Aggression

Abstract

Findings on executive functioning in psychopathy are inconsistent. Different associations between psychopathy dimensions and executive functioning might explain contradicting findings. This study examined the role of psychopathy dimensions and types of aggression in response inhibition among 117 male adolescents (53 antisocial delinquents and 64 controls). Participants completed a self-report measure of aggression and a GoNoGo task. Psychopathy dimensions were assessed using the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version. Although high scores on the antisocial dimension and reactive aggression were associated with poor response inhibition, the affective-interpersonal dimension, proactive aggression, and verbal intelligence (IQ) were related to better response inhibition (two-factor model). Associations with the affective-interpersonal dimensions did not reach significance. Exploratory analyses showed that affective and antisocial facets accounted for the obtained opposing associations of the affective-interpersonal and antisocial psychopathy dimensions with response inhibition. The interpersonal and lifestyle facets (four-facet model) were unrelated to response inhibition. Results could not be explained by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Findings suggest differential associations between the psychopathy dimensions, types of aggression, and response inhibition. Therefore, a dimensional approach to psychopathy and related concepts, such as aggression, might strongly improve diagnostic procedures. Global scores could mask important differential associations.

Abstract

Objective: There is an incomplete understanding of why some children growing up in the same family are in need of treatment for psychiatric morbidity whilst their siblings are not. The present paper examined the possible role of individual-specific developmental risk factors. Method: Three case–control analyses were conducted: i) 80 children referred to the Community Mental Health Centre (cases) and 320 population controls, ii) 68 healthy siblings of cases and 272 population controls, and iii) 80 children and 68 healthy siblings. Measures of development and psychosocial circumstances were obtained from routine, longitudinal, standardized child medical records. Results: Given shared family environments, additional presence of delays in speech and motor development contributed most to differential sibling mental health outcomes. In addition, cases displayed both earlier expression and more severe levels of developmental behavioural deviance than their healthy siblings, who in turn had higher levels of behavioural deviance than population controls. Conclusion: In siblings sharing a familial risk environment, development of psychiatric morbidity may be canalized through additional individual-specific developmental exposures.

Abstract

20% of Dutch youth suffer from psychiatric disorders that hamper their daily functioning and their personal development. Clients tend to drop out of school and have problems in their social environment. These clients often suffer from low social competencies and low empathic behavior, resulting in low treatment compliance. The study targets treatment motivation in order to prevent therapy dropout by introducing playful interventions. Amongst others, social problem situations that arise from interactions between clients and their socio-cultural environment often lead to aggressive behavior and behavioral problems. It is not only the client, but also the reaction of the environment that plays an important part in the aggravation of clients’ problems. We focus on the group as a whole in order to gain insight these social interactions, to make them explicit and tangible, in an attempt to help clients (and their environment) to play and learn from these interactions, in order to contribute to a better social climate.

Abstract

Item does not contain fulltext The aim of the present study was to examine whether there is a relation between a negative/aggressive interpretation bias, different types of aggression, and callous-unemotional traits in (delinquent) juveniles. We examined this research question in 2 different studies. The first study examines the relationship between a social negative interpretation bias with different types of aggression and callous-unemotional traits in 42 juvenile delinquent boys from a Juridical Youth Institution Centre and 29 healthy juvenile controls from a local high school in the Netherlands. Results showed that a negative interpretation bias was related to callous-unemotional traits, but specifically within the delinquent group. In the second study we examined this research question in more detail, using 3 different groups and two different measurements of a negative and aggressive interpretation bias (i.e., explicit vs. implicit measurement, respectively). This second study included 88 male participants ranging from 13 to 25 years. Subjects were now recruited from a local high school (healthy controls), an education project (at risk group) and from a Juridical Youth Institution (juvenile group). In the three different groups, there emerged different meaningful correlates. While in the healthy control group there were no significant correlates of a negative interpretation bias, for the two other groups some meaningful correlates were found. Within the at risk group, an aggressive interpretation bias was related to reactive aggression. Within the delinquent group, a negative interpretation bias was significantly related to reactive aggression, while an aggressive interpretation bias was significantly related to proactive aggression. So over the two studies, specifically within the delinquent groups, a negative interpretation bias seems positively related to aggression and callous-unemotional traits. These findings might indicate that the tendency to make negative or aggressive interpretations of potential innocuous situations might form an important mechanism underlying the relation between aggressive acts and the presence of elevated aggression and callous unemotional traits. 9 p.

Abstract

The Prison Group Climate Instrument (PGCI) was developed to investigate group climate quality in forensic psychiatric institutions and secure residential treatment facilities for delinquent juveniles. The present study examined construct validity, convergent validity, and reliability of the German version of the PGCI. A confirmatory factor analysis with four first-order factors—"support," "growth," "group atmosphere," and "repression"—and "overall group climate" as a second-order factor showed a good fit to the data and indicated construct validity of the German version of the PGCI. Preliminary support was found for convergent validity. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients were sufficient for all scales. The instrument can be used to improve service quality and gives inmates a voice.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine the effects of in vivo administration of prenatal betamethasone in patients at 26 to 35 weeks' gestation on corticotropin-releasing hormone concentrations in maternal and fetal plasma and amniotic fluid, and on corticotropin-releasing hormone localization in placenta and fetal membranes. STUDY DESIGN: A total of 49 pregnant women at risk for preterm delivery between 26 and 35 weeks' gestation were studied. Twenty-six patients received betamethasone (12 mg intramuscularly) for stimulation of fetal lung maturity. Cord blood, amniotic fluid, placental tissue, and fetal membranes were obtained from 22 of these patients at delivery by elective cesarean section at 33.8 ± 2.4 weeks' gestation. In control patients ( n = 23) at comparable gestational age, blood samples were taken for hormone analysis ( n = 8), and cord blood, amniotic fluid, and tissues were collected at elective cesarean section at 34.1 ± 2.3 weeks' gestation. Concentrations of corticotropin-releasing hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and cortisol were determined by radioimmunoassay. Localization of tissue immunoreactive corticotropin-releasing hormone was assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Betamethasone caused approximately 90% reduction in maternal cortisol and 50% reduction in maternal plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone. In patients at >30 weeks' gestation, there was a significant increase in maternal plasma corticotropin-releasing hormone concentrations after betamethasone; maternal corticotropin-releasing hormone was not altered significantly in untreated patients. Corticotropin-releasing hormone levels were raised in umbilical cord blood by 48 hours and in amniotic fluid 1 week after betamethasone administration. There was increased immunohistochemical staining for corticotropin-releasing hormone in placental syncytiotrophoblast and in fetal membranes of patients treated with betamethasone. CONCLUSIONS: These studies provide the first evidence for in vivo stimulation of plasma corticotropin-releasing hormone, likely of placental origin, by glucocorticoids in third trimester human pregnancy. The results suggest that increases in endogenous cortisol during normal gestation may contribute to placental corticotropin-releasing hormone output and to the rise in maternal plasma corticotropin-releasing hormone concentrations during late pregnancy.

Abstract

Aggression and callous-unemotional (CU) traits are common problems in incarcerated delinquent youth. The present study was conducted to examine whether living group climate was associated with aggression and CU traits in late adolescent male offenders ( N = 156) in a German youth prison. A structural equation model was fitted to the data and showed associations between repression and reactive aggression and CU traits, but no associations between an open and supportive living group climate and aggression and CU traits. Previous research in Dutch youth prisons did not find a relation between repression and aggression, buta relation between a positive living group climate and less aggression. These different findings may reflect differences in the German and Dutch prison system. Implications for practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Adult psychopathy has proven to be an important clinical and forensic construct, but much less is known about juvenile psychopathy. In the present study, we examined the construct validity of the self report modified Child Psychopathy Scale mCPS; Lynam (Psychological Bulletin 120:(2), 209-234, 1997) in a sample of 57 adolescents residing in a Dutch juvenile justice center, aged between 13 and 22 years. The mCPS total score was reliably related to high externalizing problems, low empathy, high anger and aggression, high impulsivity, high (violent) delinquency, and high alcohol/drug use. Unique relations were found for the antisocial-impulsive (mCPS Factor 2), but not the callous-unemotional facet of psychopathy (mCPS Factor 1). Our findings support the validity of the mCPS in that it encompasses the antisocial-impulsive facet of psychopathy, but it is less clear whether the mCPS sufficiently captures the affective-interpersonal facet of psychopathy.

Abstract

Findings on executive functioning in psychopathy are inconsistent. Different associations between psychopathy dimensions and executive functioning might explain contradicting findings. This study examined the role of psychopathy dimensions and types of aggression in response inhibition among 117 male adolescents (53 antisocial delinquents and 64 controls). Participants completed a self-report measure of aggression and a GoNoGo task. Psychopathy dimensions were assessed using the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version. Although high scores on the antisocial dimension and reactive aggression were associated with poor response inhibition, the affective-interpersonal dimension, proactive aggression, and verbal intelligence (IQ) were related to better response inhibition (two-factor model). Associations with the affective-interpersonal dimensions did not reach significance. Exploratory analyses showed that affective and antisocial facets accounted for the obtained opposing associations of the affective-interpersonal and antisocial psychopathy dimensions with response inhibition. The interpersonal and lifestyle facets (four-facet model) were unrelated to response inhibition. Results could not be explained by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Findings suggest differential associations between the psychopathy dimensions, types of aggression, and response inhibition. Therefore, a dimensional approach to psychopathy and related concepts, such as aggression, might strongly improve diagnostic procedures. Global scores could mask important differential associations.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that maternal CRH concentrations are elevated in women experiencing threatened preterm labor who subsequently give birth within 24 h compared to those in women who do not. We also characterized the changes in maternal plasma cortisol, ACTH, corticosteroid binding capacity (CBC), and CRH concentrations in 28 healthy pregnant women between 20–38 weeks gestation. Overall, maternal plasma CRH concentrations were significantly greater (P < 0.05) in those women giving birth within 24 h (1343.3 ± 143.9 pg/mL; n = 81) compared to those in women who did not (714.5 ± 64.8 pg/mL; n = 144) or those in normal subjects. This difference was present between 28–36 weeks, but not 24–28 weeks gestation. The ratio of maternal cortisol to CBC was also significantly greater (P < 0.05; 0.65 ± 0.04; n = 82) in women giving birth within 24 h than in those who did not (0.55 ± 0.02; n = 136). This difference was significant at all gestational ages studied. Elevated CRH concentrations and bioavailability of free cortisol may both be implicated in the pathogenesis of preterm labor in some women. Further prospective clinical trials are warranted to determine the positive and negative predictive values of maternal CRH concentrations and/or the ratio of cortisol/CBC for identifying women with threatened preterm labor destined to give birth within 24 h.

Abstract

The present study is a replication in Germany of a study originally performed in the Netherlands regarding the association between a positive living group climate and self-reported empathy in incarcerated adolescent male offenders (n= 49). A structural equation model was fitted to the data and showed a relation between a positive living group climate and increased empathy after six months. The discussion focuses on group dynamics in youth prisons. The present results open the way to further research into the importance of group processes in residential youth care. A positive living group climate could turn out to be an important factor contributing to the effectiveness of secure institutional treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
