Abstract: Participant observation techniques were used to examine the social networks and the social support mechanisms of nine subjects with a mild intellectual disability working in competitive employment settings. Results indicated that the social networks of this group of people lacked complexity with few interconnections among the network nodes. The major sources of social support emanated from the family and from organizations catering for people with disabilities. While subjects perceived considerable social support within the workplace, this support was restricted to the workplace and in general did not extend beyond it. Implications of the findings of the study for ensuring the adequacy of social support both within and beyond the workplace for this group of people are discussed. Additionally, the need for the development of a theory or model of social support as it pertains to people with a mild intellectual disability employed in competitive employment settings is advocated.

Abstract: There has been increasing international, national and local recognition of the need for more appropriate responses and services for in iduals who come in contact with the criminal justice system and who have an intellectual disability and mental health issues. This article provides an overview of prevalence data that indicates a significant over representation of people with intellectual disabilities in correctional facilities and reviews the problems facing this population. Findings from two specific evaluation studies undertaken by the Centre for Developmental Disability Studies are presented, along with recommendations for future provision based on these results. One of these projects trialled a case management approach to supporting offenders with an intellectual disability upon their release from prison. The 20-month follow-up found that a number of serious barriers were encountered within the overall system of provision for this population the most serious of which related to lack of adequate accommodation upon release. The second project involved a two-stage evaluation of one model of provision for in iduals with intellectual disabilities who are sex offenders, only some of whom were on parole. This service provided both residential and therapy services in a small group home located in the community. Residents were found to have high levels of emotional and behavioural difficulties, in addition to offending behaviour, that continue to require support and supervision. Critical issues, including guardianship involvement, restrictive practices and retrieval, therapy provision, and risk management issues are discussed in relation to overall clinical and lifestyle outcomes.

DOI: 10.1352/1934-9556-49.5.341
Abstract: Despite acknowledgement that paid caregivers have a significant impact on the lives of people with intellectual disability, the subjective experience of staff gender is rarely considered in research. Qualitative data from a study on the sexual health needs of men and boys with intellectual disability is presented. We designed this study to determine what impact staff gender has on the sexual health needs of men and boys with intellectual disability. Findings suggest that although staff traverse the same geographies of care, they do it in uniquely gendered ways. Staff gender is an important consideration when dealing with sexual health matters and can enhance the type and quality of relationships between people with intellectual disability.

Integrated Platform Addressing the Finger-Prick Blood Processing Challenges of Point-of-Care Electrical Biomarker Testing.
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)

DOI: 10.1021/ACS.ANALCHEM.1C04470
Abstract: Continued advances in label-free electrical biosensors pave the way to simple, rapid, cost-effective, high-sensitivity, and quantitative biomarker testing at the point-of-care setting that would profoundly transform healthcare. However, implementation in routine diagnostics is faced with significant challenges associated with the inherent requirement for biofluid s le processing before and during testing. We present here a simple yet robust autonomous finger-prick blood s le processing platform integrated with nanoscale field-effect transistor biosensors and demonstrate the feasibility of measuring the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein. The 3D-printed platform incorporates a high-yield blood-to-plasma separation module and a delay valve designed to terminate the assay at a specific time. The platform is driven by hydrostatic pressure to efficiently and automatically dispense plasma and washing/measurement buffer to the nanosensors. Our model study demonstrates the feasibility of detecting down to 1.4 pg/mL of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein within 25 min and with only minimal operator intervention.

The post-school experiences of young people with a disability
Publisher: Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health)

DOI: 10.1097/00004356-199112000-00001
Abstract: The transition of young people with disabilities from school to work and adult living has been the focus of attention for the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) of OECD for some years. Various member countries of OECD have implemented transition education programmes as a result of community-based educational policies for students with disabilities. To establish a baseline of the post-school experiences of disabled students a follow-up study of a s le of ex-students in New South Wales, Australia, was conducted. While the responses to the survey came essentially from students who had been in special schools and hence may be unrepresentative of the total population of disabled ex-students, the data indicate some interesting trends. Only 42% were in open employment. Those with a moderate or severe intellectual disability were generally in sheltered workshops, activity centres or at home. The majority of respondents indicated that work was an important part of their lives, not so much from an economic perspective, but especially as it afforded them a social outlet. The implications of the findings are discussed in the context of the current emphasis upon community-based rather than sheltered employment for people with disabilities.

Panoramic radiographs and dental patients with Down syndrome: A scoping review
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 08-08-2022
DOI: 10.1111/SCD.12762
Abstract: Life expectancy for people with Down syndrome (DS) has increased to 60 years, although poor oral health affects their quality of life. Panoramic radiographs (PRs) are usually well‐tolerated by people with DS and can provide valuable diagnostic data for treatment planning and research. Methods A scoping review of peer‐reviewed articles published between 1971and 2021 was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews to determine the scope of use of PRs for people with DS. 937 papers were screened, and 52 papers were included and charted into seven categories in this review. A high prevalence of tooth agenesis (TA) and other anomalies were reported in 45% of papers. Severe periodontal disease was considered characteristic of DS in the 1970s–80s and the benefit of time‐consuming treatment was questioned. Since 2000 case reports illustrate that improved oral care, orthodontic treatment, and dental implants under local or general anaesthetic can improve the quality of life for people with DS. PRs play an important role in the diagnosis of anomalies, periodontal disease, and implant planning for patients with DS. This review highlights the gaps in research of caries, pathology, TMJ, systemic disease indicators, and guidelines for dentists. Systematic PR viewing, with a knowledge of characteristic features of DS, will assist diagnosis of pathology and improve comprehensive dental care treatment planning for children and adults with DS.

Nursing the patient with severe communication impairment
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 04-09-2001
DOI: 10.1046/J.1365-2648.2001.01920.X
Abstract: Effective communication with patients is critical to effective nursing practice. Surprisingly, there is little information on nurses' experiences in caring for patients who are unable to speak. This study provides descriptive information from interviews with 20 nurses who cared for patients with severe communication impairment. The interview protocol explored positive and negative experiences of nursing patients with severe communication impairment. Frequency counts and descriptive analyses were conducted to identify the major themes emerging from the interviews. The results suggest that nurse-patient communication is difficult when the patient has severe communication impairment, although some nurses discovered effective strategies to facilitate communication with such patients. Many of the difficulties could be viewed as a breakdown in understanding arising from the lack of a readily interpretable communication system that could be used by nurse and patient. The results suggest a need for training nurses in the use of alternative modes of communication. Nurses also need access to a variety of simple augmentative communication devices for use with patients who are unable to speak. Finally, nurses should collaborate with speech pathologists on the development of preadmission information and bedside training for people who are admitted to hospital with severe communication impairment.

Service and support needs of Australian carers supporting a family member with disability at home*
Publisher: Informa UK Limited

DOI: 10.1080/13668250903103668
Abstract: As part of an international, multicentre project, the service and support needs of Australian family carers were investigated. A s le of 1,390, 448 family carers completed a self-report survey, including an adaptation of the Family Needs Survey (FNS) and several open-ended questions. A mixed method design was used, employing quantitative and qualitative analyses. On the FNS the most frequently endorsed items were those relating to the need for information about services and, in particular, future, out-of-home accommodation. Similarly, the need for respite services was endorsed by over 80% of respondents. Comments indicated that access to and the quality of respite, day support, and therapy programs were a priority. Participants expressed the need for greater access to information. Access to appropriate respite options, together with quality day support and therapy services, remain a priority for family carers.

Silicon Nanowires Field Effect Transistors: A Comparative Sensing Performance between Electrical Impedance and Potentiometric Measurement Paradigms.
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)
Date: 04-09-2019
DOI: 10.1021/ACS.ANALCHEM.9B03559
Abstract: Potentiometric sensors based on silicon nanowire field effect transistors (SiNW FETs) typically display exquisite sensitivities, but their bioanalytical implementation is limited due to the need for stringent measurement conditions and high-precision readout units. An alternative operation principle where SiNW FETs are operated in a frequency-domain electrical impedimetric approach is promising. However, to date only limited data is available in regard to the sensing performance and translational relevance of this novel approach in comparison to the standard charge detection paradigm. We demonstrate the feasibility of conducting electrical impedimetric FET measurements with a portable unit for the ultrasensitive detection of cancer biomarkers in biospecimens. Compared to standard potentiometric measurements, electrical impedimetric FET measurements yielded significant improvements in biosensing performances, including the limit of detection, sensing resolution, and dynamic range.

Surface Plasmon Enhanced Light Scattering Biosensing: Size Dependence on the Gold Nanoparticle Tag
Publisher: MDPI AG
Date: 15-01-2019
DOI: 10.3390/S19020323
Abstract: Surface plasmon enhanced light scattering (SP-LS) is a powerful new sensing SPR modality that yields excellent sensitivity in sandwich immunoassay using spherical gold nanoparticle (AuNP) tags. Towards further improving the performance of SP-LS, we systematically investigated the AuNP size effect. Simulation results indicated an AuNP size-dependent scattered power, and predicted the optimized AuNPs sizes (i.e., 100 and 130 nm) that afford extremely high signal enhancement in SP-LS. The maximum scattered power from a 130 nm AuNP is about 1700-fold higher than that obtained from a 17 nm AuNP. Experimentally, a bio-conjugation protocol was developed by coating the AuNPs with mixture of low and high molecular weight PEG molecules. Optimal IgG antibody bioconjugation conditions were identified using physicochemical characterization and a model dot-blot assay. Aggregation prevented the use of the larger AuNPs in SP-LS experiments. As predicted by simulation, AuNPs with diameters of 50 and 64 nm yielded significantly higher SP-LS signal enhancement in comparison to the smaller particles. Finally, we demonstrated the feasibility of a two-step SP-LS protocol based on a gold enhancement step, aimed at enlarging 36 nm AuNPs tags. This study provides a blue-print for the further development of SP-LS biosensing and its translation in the bioanalytical field.

The present, past and future of the study of intellectual disability: challenges in developing countries
Publisher: FapUNIFESP (SciELO)

DOI: 10.1590/S0036-36342008000800004
Abstract: There is strong evidence that socio-cultural factors largely determine what is seen as competent behaviour. Within western high income countries, driven by the values of utilitarian in idualism, the construct of intellectual disability has been largely determined to meet the needs of urban, industrialised societies. In contrast, competence in non-industrialised societies may be more reflected in collaborative, interpersonal problem solving skills such as those found among Nigerian students labelled as intellectually disabled. However, people who are judged to be incompetent or "obtrusive" in countries deficient in support services, are often neglected and consigned to a life in poorly managed segregated institutions, as is the case in China, Russia and some countries in Eastern Europe. Non western countries that have a long history of a globalised economy, such as Taiwan and Japan also remain committed to segregated institutional provisions for people with an intellectual disability, despite a notional acceptance of inclusionary policies enunciated by the United Nations Declarations and Conventions. In this paper is concluded that it must be recognised that the population of people with an intellectual disability, regardless of how the condition is defined and classified, is quite heterogeneous. Their needs are also varied and not at all dissimilar to those of the general population. As developing countries adopt western style consumer-driven economies, there is an extreme danger that they, too, will follow the same trajectory of exclusion and impose the culture of "otherness" for a group whose contribution to that society will be devalued. Good science is futile unless it benefits all peoples.

A masculine perspective of gendered topics in the research literature on males and females with intellectual disability
Publisher: Informa UK Limited
Date: 03-02-2010
DOI: 10.3109/13668250903496351
Abstract: A focus on male social pathologies may have evolved within parts of the intellectual disability research literature. This article explores this notion and makes some connections between mainstream gender theory about hegemonic masculinity and the current gendered discourse in intellectual disability research. We conducted a thematic analysis of all journal article titles from four prominent intellectual disability journals where "man," "woman," "men," "women," "male," "female," "girl," and "boy" were mentioned in the title. Thematic differences were identified between articles that focused on males or females, with less research attention on male health compared with female health. A strong focus was evident on problematised male sexual behaviour. There is a distinct difference evident between articles that problematise males and articles for females encouraging health promotion that suggests a disparate focus on male social pathologies. A deeper contextual analysis of unique sex differences in research is proposed.

Mitigating the impact of the ‘silos’ between the disability and aged-care sectors in Australia: Development of a Best Practice Framework
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 28-05-2021
DOI: 10.1111/JAR.12890
Abstract: Although a ‘person‐centred focus’ is a legislated objective for both aged‐care and disability services sectors in Australia, evidence suggests limited translation into systems and practices due to entrenched silos. This paper proposes a Best Practice Framework to mitigate these silos. Mixed‐methods research comprising key informant interviews with major stakeholders across both sectors a survey of people with/without intellectual disability aged 60+ years qualitative in‐depth interviews and survey of health professionals. There is an urgent need to develop inter‐sectoral ‘integrated care systems’. Key components include choice in accommodation regular assessment of health and well‐being indicators development and adoption of nationally consistent policies/standards across integrated aged‐ and disability‐care sectors improved strategies for workforce planning and upskilling of existing staff including place‐based collaboration. An integrated service model requires collaboration on broader public policy instruments, appropriate planning and resourcing. A strategic shift is required to ensure better quality person‐centred support systems.

Measuring the impact of employment on persons with a disability as a means of improving the quality of employment outcomes
Publisher: Alma Mater Europaea - ECM
Date: 20-03-2023
DOI: 10.33700/JHRS.2.1.61
Abstract: Aim: Current measures for disability employment focus on system outputs, not in idual outcomes. This paper proposes an employment outcome measurement approach based on social quality theory as a means of improving the quality of employment outcomes for in iduals. Introduction: There is a paucity of government policies that promote practices which address the measurement of employment outcomes that reflect the goals of the in idual. While there has been a recent trend towards a focus on quality of life as an outcome, process measurement and compliance to procedural regulations are still dominant. Method: A scoping review of disability employment research from the year 2000 revealed only eleven papers which specifically addressed approaches to measuring disability employment outcomes at an in idual impact level. Overall, the search failed to highlight any measure that focused on the impact of employment on the in idual with existing measures focused on process measurement. Conclusion: An outcomes-based approach, based on the four pillars of social quality theory, namely, social inclusion, social cohesion, self-determination, and social-economic security provide an opportunity to shift disability employment service provision towards in idual outcomes rather than its existing focus on system outputs as a measure of success.
Rights Are Necessary but Insufficient for the Achievement of the Full Inclusion of People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC

DOI: 10.1007/S41252-023-00351-4
Abstract: Two forces which are in juxtaposition have been impacting upon the achievement of full inclusion and emancipation of people with intellectual and related developmental disabilities into society. The first is the history of the United Nations human rights declarations and conventions. While human rights initiatives have supported grassroots movements such as choice, self-determination, and person-centred supports, the second force, neoliberal philosophy, has commandeered these concepts into a culture of managerialism and in idualism. Whether rights are necessary but insufficient for the achievement of the full inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities needed to be addressed. The history of the human rights movement was explored leading up to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The impact of countervailing forces of neoliberal policies were explored. The ongoing development of models of disability were examined, as were threats to implementation and the realisation of outcomes. The impact of neoliberal policies by member nations and the juridical nature of the CRDP were found to be limiting factors for genuine community acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities, especially those with intellectual disabilities. Member nations conforming to human rights imperatives also need to encourage the building an ethical community in which reciprocal relationships are fostered and celebrated. In idualism and the market-based economies have failed to recognise the important role communality has played in the history of the human species.

Metal-Oxide FET Biosensor for Point-of-Care Testing: Overview and Perspective.
Publisher: MDPI AG

DOI: 10.3390/MOLECULES27227952
Abstract: Metal-oxide semiconducting materials are promising for building high-performance field-effect transistor (FET) based biochemical sensors. The existence of well-established top-down scalable manufacturing processes enables the reliable production of cost-effective yet high-performance sensors, two key considerations toward the translation of such devices in real-life applications. Metal-oxide semiconductor FET biochemical sensors are especially well-suited to the development of Point-of-Care testing (PoCT) devices, as illustrated by the rapidly growing body of reports in the field. Yet, metal-oxide semiconductor FET sensors remain confined to date, mainly in academia. Toward accelerating the real-life translation of this exciting technology, we review the current literature and discuss the critical features underpinning the successful development of metal-oxide semiconductor FET-based PoCT devices that meet the stringent performance, manufacturing, and regulatory requirements of PoCT.
Root angle is controlled byEGT1in cereal crops employing an antigravitropic mechanism
Publisher: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Date: 26-07-2022
Abstract: Root angle in crops represents a key trait for efficient capture of soil resources. Root angle is determined by competing gravitropic versus antigravitropic offset (AGO) mechanisms. Here we report a root angle regulatory gene termed ENHANCED GRAVITROPISM1 ( EGT1 ) that encodes a putative AGO component, whose loss-of-function enhances root gravitropism. Mutations in barley and wheat EGT1 genes confer a striking root phenotype, where every root class adopts a steeper growth angle. EGT1 encodes an F-box and Tubby domain-containing protein that is highly conserved across plant species. Haplotype analysis found that natural allelic variation at the barley EGT1 locus impacts root angle. Gravitropic assays indicated that Hvegt1 roots bend more rapidly than wild-type. Transcript profiling revealed Hvegt1 roots deregulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis and cell wall-loosening enzymes and cofactors. ROS imaging shows that Hvegt1 root basal meristem and elongation zone tissues have reduced levels. Atomic force microscopy measurements detected elongating Hvegt1 root cortical cell walls are significantly less stiff than wild-type. In situ analysis identified HvEGT1 is expressed in elongating cortical and stele tissues, which are distinct from known root gravitropic perception and response tissues in the columella and epidermis, respectively. We propose that EGT1 controls root angle by regulating cell wall stiffness in elongating root cortical tissue, counteracting the gravitropic machinery’s known ability to bend the root via its outermost tissues. We conclude that root angle is controlled by EGT1 in cereal crops employing an antigravitropic mechanism.
