Visual hallucinations and visuoperceptual deficits are common in dementia with Lewy bodies, suggesting that cortical visual function may be abnormal.

This study evaluated the effect of change in background on steady state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP) and motion (SSMVEP) based brain computer interfaces (BCI) a small-profile augmented reality (AR) headset. A four target SSVEP SSMVEP BCI was implemented using Cognixion AR headset prototype. An active (AB) non-active (NB) were evaluated. The signal characteristics classification performance two paradigms studied. Offline analysis performed canonical correlation (CCA) complex-spectrum...

The aetiology of visual hallucinations is poorly understood in dementia with Lewy bodies. Pathological alterations cortical excitability may be one contributory mechanism.

Large spacing devices have been shown to provide more selective delivery of an inhaled steroid the lung but effect on hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal suppression associated with high dose corticosteroids has little studied. The a large device (Volumatic; 750 ml) 0900 h cortisol after 2 mg beclomethasone dipropionate was therefore investigated in normal, healthy volunteers. Twenty four subjects (12 male, 12 female) took part randomised, double blind, placebo controlled cross over study which...

Concerns about new teachers' capacity to address diversity in their classrooms are growing many parts of the West, and there is some consensus that one aspect problem narrow range cultural social backgrounds from which teacher candidates drawn. Yet a minority socially aware teachers, all backgrounds, continue join profession, attempt teach ways confront racism. Drawing on data an on-going longitudinal study progressive teachers early careers, this article explores dilemmas constraints faced...

This article focuses on how schools respond to racist incidents, and what new teachers learn from their involvement in those processes. It analyses four incidents involving the pupils of beginning teachers. The suggests that each case, either partly or wholly avoided addressing incident, this avoidance can be understood terms colour power evasive discourse, which is dominant discourse race Western societies, most schools. One aspect racism defined basis individual intentions, not outcomes....

'Whiteness studies' has become a significant theme in writing about ethnicity and education over the past decade. Unlike both multiculturalism anti-racism, whiteness theorists suggest that can be seen not as biological fact, but social construction, seek to examine white behaviour assumptions first step toward resisting behaviour. While its place academic world seems secure, theories have had limited impact on practitioners, particularly Britain. Despite urgent calls by many writers field of...

You Wouldn't Understand looks at how white teachers regard ethnic diversity in their classrooms and views affect teaching. It tells the story of one teacher's developing understanding her own racial background influenced way she regarded taught mainly South Asian Muslim children classes. She began with a belief that narrowness National Curriculum was problem for pupils but came to see bigger picture. The book charts gradual realisation many problems lay lack race, racism, identity.The...

Objective. Different visual stimuli might have different effects on the brain, e.g. change of brightness, non-biological movement and biological movement.Approach. In this study, flicker, checkerboard gaiting were chosen as to investigate whether steady-state motion evoked potential (SSMVEP) effect sensorimotor area for rehabilitation. The stimulus was designed sequence a human. hypothesis is that only observing would simultaneously induce: (1) SSMVEP in occipital area, similarly an SSVEP...

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented chaos all over the world, and schools their leaders have not escaped its impacts. This article analyses leadership actions of team from one international school in reopening after mandated lockdown; it seeks to contribute discourse on during these times share lessons with those bearing weight responsibility pandemic. Using lens a framework drawn example Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s New Zealand crisis, are examined linked each good practices...

This article argues that neoliberal and neoconservative schooling policies in England legitimise a long-standing neglect of cultural difference schools, are having particularly damaging effect on Muslim children's experience schooling. It offers evidence relationships between teachers families particular may be becoming more distant, this is largely result complex series pressures teachers' working lives. Interview data from small-scale interpretive, empirical study eight primary suggests...

Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) are responses elicited when a user is presented with repetitive stimulus. Change in stimuli proximity has been shown to have an influence on the performance of SSVEP-based BCI, where inter-stimulus distance positive correlation overall performance. This limits flexibility stimulus design by imposing constraint acceptable distance, consequently limiting range applicability for BCIs real-world applications. Another limitation that needs be...

This article draws on the work of Nel Noddings to suggest that current neoliberal, marketised system education is eroding caring relationships in schools. Data are drawn from a small-scale qualitative study an ethnically diverse group high attaining sixth form students successful urban academy. Based this data, we argue two fundamental aspects care, students’ with their teachers and attention personal social concerns, were neglected because overriding focus examination success maintain...

In the context of transfer responsibility for prison health from Prison Service to National Health Service, a survey doctors working in prisons reveals doctors’ own high priorities training distinct patient contexts found as well certain clinical conditions. The analysis identifies exclusive competences required only and special interest that although applicable practice community are particular strengths because prevalence conditions they address.

Hospital discharges and deaths attributed to chronic bronchitis emphysema have fallen in recent years while the number of those receiving invalidity benefit for these conditions has remained constant. One hundred fifty seven such persons were invited take part this study, which diagnosis, degree respiratory impairment, other factors contributing disability reviewed. The scope rehabilitation was considered. subjects agreed part; 96 men 70 over 60 years. In only 67 main diagnosis emphysema....
