Handler om spesialundervisning I grunnskolen

Boka gir en grundig beskrivelse av begavede elever med lærevansker - et felt som er ukjent i norsk pedagogisk/psykologisk praksis og utdanningsforskning, noe som gjør at boka er unik i sitt slag. Den har et spesielt fokus på grunnskoleelever og gir svar på noen problemstillinger som forskere, pedagoger, psykologer og lærere er opptatt av, f.eks.: Hvordan identifiserer vi eksepsjonelle og dobbelteksepsjonelle elever, og hvorfor er det så viktig å oppdage (identifisere) dem? Hvordan skal vi undervise begavede elever og begavede elever med lærevansker? Hvilke faktorer kan bidra til videre utvikling av begavelsen hos disse elevene? Boka er basert på forfatters forskning og undervisning innen feltet og den presenter en grundig innføring i hvem eksepsjonelle og dobbelteksepsjonelle elever er, og hva nyere forskning sier om disse elevene. Det gis en beskrivelse av caser som gjelder begavede elever med dysleksi og begavede elever med ADHD. Budskapet i denne boka er at begavede elever med lærevansker (dobbelteksepsjonelle elever) ikke er funksjonshemmede elever, men «different learners», og at det må rettes fokus på disse elevene i det norske skolesamfunnet. Målgruppa for boka er studenter i psykologisk, spesialpedagogisk og pedagogisk utdanning og lærere på ulike nivåer i utdanningssystemet. Dessuten fagfolk som jobber med elever i ulike pedagogiske miljøer, sosialrådgivere og PPT. Den kan også være av interesse for foreldre som vil forstå bedre begavelsen og vanskene hos sine barn.

· Hvilken rolle har miljøsensitivitet i forhold til elevenes skolefravær? · Hvordan kan høysensitivitet forstås i et pedagogisk-psykologisk perspektiv? · Hvilken betydning har skolerelatert stress og skoleangst for utviklingen av skolefravær? · Hva er internettavhengighet, og hvordan kan det påvirke utviklingen av skolefravær hos elevene? · Hvordan kan skolen og PP-tjenesten i samarbeid med foreldrene hjelpe barn og unge med problematisk interaktiv mediebruk? I denne boka peker forfatteren på faktorer som kan ha betydning for skolefravær hos barn og unge, og drøfter hva skolen og andre rundt eleven kan gjøre for å få dem tilbake til skolen. Det finnes ikke entydige svar på disse problemstillingene, men forfatteren drøfter dem ut fra nyere litteratur og forskning på fagfeltet, og ut fra forfatterens egen forskning og praksiskunnskap. Målgruppa for boka er lærere i skolen, ansatte i pedagogisk-psykologisk tjeneste, barneverntjenesten, og sosial- og helsefag. Den er også relevant for studenter i psykologisk, spesialpedagogisk og allmennpedagogisk utdanning. Boka kan også være av interesse for pårørende og andre faggrupper som arbeider med risikoutsatte barn og unge.

Cueva Blanca lies in a volcanic tuff cliff some 4 km northwest of Mitla, Oaxaca, Mexico. It is one of a series of Archaic sites excavated by Kent Flannery and Frank Hole as part of a project on the prehistory and human ecology of the Valley of Oaxaca. The oldest stratigraphic level in Cueva Blanca yielded Late Pleistocene fauna, including some species no longer present in southern Mexico. The second oldest level, Zone E, produced Early Archaic material with calibrated dates as old as 11,000-10,000 BC . Zones D and C provided a rich Late Archaic assemblage whose closest ties are with the Abejas phase of Puebla's Tehuac n Valley (fourth millennium BC). Spatial analyses undertaken on the Archaic living floors include (1) the drawing of density contours for tools and animal bones; (2) a search for Archaic tool kits using rank-order and cluster analysis; and (3) an attempt to define Binfordian "drop zones" using an approach drawn from computer vision.

The railways are one of our finest engineering legacies - a web of routes connecting people to each other and to a vast network of world-class attractions. It is also the best route to enjoying the landscape of Great Britain. Within these pages Vicki Pipe and Geoff Marshall from All the Stations (YouTube transport experts and survivors of a crowd-funded trip to visit all the stations in the UK) help you discover the hidden stories that lie behind branch lines, as well as meeting the people who fix the engines and put the trains to bed. Embark on unknown routes, disembark at unfamiliar stations, explore new places and get to know the communities who keep small stations and remote lines alive.

The dramatic story of the last fifty years of the Speyer banking dynasty, a Jewish family of German descent, is surprisingly little known today, yet at the turn of the twentieth century, Speyer was the third largest investment banking firm in the United States, behind only Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb. It had branches in London, Frankfurt and New York, and the projects it financed included the Southern Pacific Railroad, the London Underground and the infrastructure of the new Cuban republic. Later, it was the first major banking firm to finance Germany's Weimar Republic, as well as providing League of Nations loans to Hungary, Greece and Bulgaria. Yet, the firm was doomed by the nationalist passions aroused by World War I. Its English partner was denaturalised and exiled; its American partner enjoyed reduced standing because of his connection to Germany; and the Frankfurt branch closed with the coming of the Third Reich, its German partner fleeing into exile. The firm was dissolved in 1939, a surprisingly anticlimactic end to one of the great international banking companies of modern times. George W.Liebmann here tells the story of the firm and the family - shedding new light on the protagonists of a remarkable dynasty, who came undone in the dramatic years of the early twentieth century.

This book presents a rigorous enquiry into life course processes that are thought to influence health, integrating the latest methodologies for the study of pathways that link socio-demographic circumstances to health with an emphasis on the mediating factors that lie on these pathways. Following an introductory chapter on the application of formal mediation methods within the life course framework, the book offers insights on the pathways that link early life socio-economic circumstances to physical activity in later life, the role of physical activity as a moderator and/or mediator of the association between fertility history and later life health and the evolution of self-rated health over the life course in two generations born 12 years apart in 20th century Britain. Pathways to Health presents a dynamic view on how to investigate specific hypotheses within the life course framework and enhances the ability of the social science community to investigate specific mechanisms related to public health interventions.

Quantum information theory is a branch of science at the frontier of physics, mathematics, and information science, and offers a variety of solutions that are impossible using classical theory. This book provides a detailed introduction to the key concepts used in processing quantum information and reveals that quantum mechanics is a generalisation of classical probability theory. The second edition contains new sections and entirely new chapters: the hot topic of multipartite entanglement; in-depth discussion of the discrete structures in finite dimensional Hilbert space, including unitary operator bases, mutually unbiased bases, symmetric informationally complete generalized measurements, discrete Wigner function, and unitary designs; the Gleason and Kochen-Specker theorems; the proof of the Lieb conjecture; the measure concentration phenomenon; and the Hastings' non-additivity theorem. This richly-illustrated book will be useful to a broad audience of graduates and researchers interested in quantum information theory. Exercises follow each chapter, with hints and answers supplied.

With roots in the nineteenth century, Lie theory has since found many and varied applications in mathematics and mathematical physics, to the point where it is now regarded as a classical branch of mathematics in its own right. This graduate text focuses on the study of semisimple Lie algebras, developing the necessary theory along the way. The material covered ranges from basic definitions of Lie groups to the classification of finite-dimensional representations of semisimple Lie algebras. Written in an informal style, this is a contemporary introduction to the subject which emphasizes the main concepts of the proofs and outlines the necessary technical details, allowing the material to be conveyed concisely. Based on a lecture course given by the author at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, the book includes numerous exercises and worked examples, and is ideal for graduate courses on Lie groups and Lie algebras.

Environmental ethics is a relatively new branch of philosophy, which studies the values and principles involved in combatting environmental problems such as pollution, loss of species and habitats, and climate change. As our environment faces evermore threats from human activities these core issues are becoming increasingly important.In this Very Short Introduction Robin Attfield traces the origins of environmental ethics as a discipline, and considers how it defends the independent value of living creatures, and the need to make decisions informed by the needs and interests of future generations. Exploring the diverse approaches to ethical decisions and judgements, he highlights the importance of making processes of production and consumption sustainable and of addressing human population levels, together withpolicies for preserving species, sub-species, and their habitats. Along the way Attfield discusses different movements such as Deep Ecology, Social Ecology, the Environmental Justice movement and the Green movement, and also considers the attitudes to the environment of the world's religions, including theapproach from the major religions and the contributions of the indigenous religions of Asia, Africa and North America. Analysing the current threat of climate change, and proposals for climate engineering, he demonstrates how responsibility for the environment ultimately lies with us all, from states and corporations to individuals, and emphasises how concerted action is required to manage our environment ethically and sustainably.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

The geometrical theory of nonlinear differential equations originates from classical works by S. Lie and A. Backlund. It obtained a new impulse in the sixties when the complete integrability of the Korteweg-de Vries equation was found and it became clear that some basic and quite general geometrical and algebraic structures govern this property of integrability. Nowadays the geometrical and algebraic approach to partial differential equations constitutes a special branch of modern mathematics. In 1993, a workshop on algebra and geometry of differential equations took place at the University of Twente (The Netherlands), where the state-of-the-art of the main problems was fixed. This book contains a collection of invited lectures presented at this workshop. The material presented is of interest to those who work in pure and applied mathematics and especially in mathematical physics.
