Abstract:
In the era of inclusive education, every educator can expect to have students with disabilities in their classroom. Unfortunately, preservice teachers who are not specifically pursuing special education licensure are often only expected to take one course focused on teaching students with disabilities. Given the increased emphasis on less restrictive educational placements of students with disabilities, it is vital for teacher education to promote asset-based, inclusive approaches. In this article, we share the rationale for embedding critical perspectives from the field of disability studies

Abstract Soldiers are rarely imagined as having disabilities, other than when they are injured in war. Yet in recent years the Israeli military has devoted considerable resources to programs promoting the inclusion of soldiers with intellectual disabilities. This paper critically examines two such programs, arguing that they should prompt a reexamination of assumptions in both critical military studies and critical disability studies. These two fields are rarely placed in dialogue, especially in international relations. Yet this paper argues that they have productive insights to offer each oth

Those who rely on cannabis as medicine and those who enjoy it recreationally are now part of the same system, for better or worse.

In order to address this issue, I draw upon disability theory and disability aesthetics, crip theory and crip willfulness, as well as practices of good looking, synthesising in this way a t

Although higher education typically strengthens people with disabilities' chances to be in a competitive job market as a viable leverage to break away from poverty (Council of Canadians with Disabilities, 2014), the contemporary marketization of higher education within the era of neoliberalism has made degrees and diplomas increasingly unaffordable. The federal government responded to this predicament by increasing the Canada Social Transfer (CST) to offer up-front targeted funding to students with disabilities in 2008 (Kirby, 2011).

Abstract:
This article explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing accessibility for persons with disabilities within Europe's 112 emergency communication systems. Despite regulatory and ethical commitments to inclusion, individuals with hearing, speech, cognitive, and mobility impairments continue to encounter significant barriers when attempting to request emergency assistance. These barriers range from non-adaptive voice-based systems to high-stress environments that limit effective communication. This research responds to a critical gap between inclusive design principles and thei

Abstract:
In the Latvian education system and society, concerns are growing about students’ language competencies, including grammar. The relevance of these problems is also reflected in societal concerns about insufficient grammar skills and a lack of systematicity in the teaching content. Grammar is a system that includes word formation, morphology and syntax. Mastery of the grammatical systems of native languages is one of the most critical conditions for fully developing a child’s/scholar’s speech and mental abilities; however, it is essential to understand how precisely the comprehension of some re

Abstract:
Population growth associated with urbanization without adequate planning causes several social and infrastructure problems in cities. In contrast, the desire to become “smart” has increasingly become the focus among municipalities, which adopt new technologies often without an in-depth analysis of the consequences and without adequately considering the impact on individuals. In this context, this article addresses accessibility in smart cities, focusing on the integration of ergonomics and urban design. The main objective is to map and analyze, based on the basic principles of ergonomics of th

Abstract:
Objectives. Diagnostic errors are a known patient safety concern across all clinical settings, including the emergency department (ED). We conducted a systematic review to determine the most frequent diseases and clinical presentations associated with diagnostic errors (and resulting harms) in the ED, measure error and harm frequency, as well as assess causal factors. Methods. We searched PubMed®, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL®), and Embase® from January 2000 through September 2021. We included research studies and targeted grey literature reporting diagnosti
