Abstract:
The year 2018 in the medical community was marked by the 160th anniversary of the birth of Henry Ivanovich Turner. The phenomenal energy of this person, his organizational skills, talent as a scientist and public figure, dedication, and finally, his humanism are admired to this day and will serve as a model for the education of future doctors for a long time. Happiness and at the same time hard work to be the first. Henry Ivanovich Turner had fully experienced this happiness and this work. He was the organizer and leader of the first Russia Department and Clinic of Orthopedics of the Military Medical Academy, the initiator of the first Society of Orthopedic Surgeons, and the founder and honorary director of the USSR’s first Institute for the Rehabilitation of Physically Disabled Children. Henry Turner was one of the first in Russia to raise questions of a disabled child, pointed out the need for a systematic struggle of the state with children’s disability, and urged to come to the aid of a crippled child, initially with orthopedic treatment performed in conjunction with the upbringing, education, and training of any profession. The article presents the biography of the outstanding person, one of the founders of Russian orthopedics, Henry Ivanovich Turner.

Abstract:
Many rights struggles have promoted education and learning as proof of citizenship and capacity, and disability rights movements are no exception. Blanche Van Leuven Browne, one early twentieth-century polio survivor, reimagined the possibilities of education for “crippled children” by approaching schooling as not only preparation for vocational work but as a sign of disabled children's social worthiness. This article explores the role of education in Browne's life and work, from her childhood in the 1880s to the Detroit hospital-school for physically disabled children she operated from 1907 to 1918. Browne's educational approach emphasized writing and citizenship to (re)define the identity of the “crippled child,” envisioning each as an intelligent future citizen. This approach contrasted with predominant contemporary medical, philanthropic, and educational approaches, which emphasized medical care and vocational training for children with orthopedic disabilities. It also distanced physically disabled children from intellectually disabled children, who were key cultural targets of eugenic fears.

Abstract:
Abstract Words and concepts may change in time, and this has certainly been the case with the term handicap. From the establishment of modern sports in the middle of the 19th century and up until the middle of the 20th century, handicap had an entirely different meaning within sports. Thus, handicap was understood as a disadvantage imposed on talented contestants to make the competition more equal in sports. Later the term handicap became much closer related to the concepts invalid and crippled than to concept originally employed within sports, With the gradual introduction of the welfare state measures to the political agenda the politicians in Denmark also started to take an interest in invalids and cripples and in 1925 the National Association of the Crippled and Maimed was founded. By the end of the 20 century the term crippled was seen by many as outdated and in 1988 the name was changed to the Danish Association for the Disabled (Dansk Handicap Forbund) and already in 1971 this organization helped to found The Danish Disabled Sports Association (Dansk Handicap Idræts-Forbund). The article tells the story of how the concept of handicap, which originally was an aim to provide equal opportunities, today has become a synonym for disability, while in the Paralympics and competitive disability sports, the original sports term handicap has been replaced by classification.

Abstract:
The mind is simply making the transition to dreaming faster than the body. While strengthening the mind our mental “muscles” improve our memory, attention, brain speed, people skills, intelligence, and navigation. The brain is at the core of everything we do, so make a change to build brainpower. This researcher has selected 51 disabled students through simple random sampling and data are classified and analyzed. Among them, respondents are students of 68.6% male and 31.4% female disabled students. They are facing many problems at the University of Rajshahi. Most of the respondent’s socio-economic conditions are medium and there are communication problems, no ramp in the maximum academic building, and no special facilities for disabled students. This research emphasizes that we should not consider disabled people as a burden to society. They have also the right to lead meaningful lives and the people having sound health should fulfill their rights.

Abstract:
Disabled women in literature seldom have erotic lives. Think of poor, crippled laura wingfield in Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie, waiting passively alongside her anxious mother to be taken up by a man. Or consider Gertie McDowell in James Joyce's Ulysses, the object of Leopold Bloom's voyeuristic fantasies, limping along, herself sexually blank. Even Eva Peace, the one-legged crone goddess in Toni Morrison's Sula, is done with sex. There is something at least untoward and at most perverse about representing disabled women as erotic. In The Sexual Politics of Disability, the sociologist Tom Shakespeare and his coauthors detail a long history of disability as a sexual disqualifier or as an occasion for perversity for both men and women in narrative representation.

Sheppard, Emma. "Kinked and crippled : disabled BDSM practitioners' experiences and embodiments of pain." Thesis, Edge Hill University, 2017. http://repository.edgehill.ac.uk/9950/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis explores the experience of pain for people who live with chronic pain and engage in BDSM1 (or ‘kinky’) pain play. It is situated within disability studies, taking the position that chronic pain is a disability, and in the use of crip theory to explore narratives of experience. The narratives, told through multiple, detailed interviews were explored in the contexts of crip theory, disability, and medical and social understandings of pain. The thesis addresses three core aims; firstly, to hear narratives of experiences of chronic pain and BDSM play. Secondly, to explore those narratives to reveal experiences and understandings of pain sought by those who live with chronic pain and also engage in BDSM. Finally, to challenge normative conceptions of pain through a critical crip reading of the narratives. The narratives revealed a range of complex experiences. I drew out these narratives in three broad themes: the role of crip time in living with chronic pain; the multiple uses of BDSM – including pleasure and control of the self – and the role of stigma and abjection. The thesis has made a number of original contributions to knowledge. Firstly, it revealed how pain is discursively constructed as needing control and containment, but how non-normative methods of control and bodily engagement are not necessarily understood as such. Secondly, the thesis exposes how pain is assumed to be wholly destructive to the self, but instead ways to integrate pain into the self are sought. Thirdly, it adds to crip theory by expanding the notion of crip time to reflect the experience of living with chronic pain. Finally, by demonstrating how the narratives challenge understandings of the ‘normal,’ as reflected in discourses of chronic pain. The thesis thus exposes how normative constructions of pain are a part of the performance and construction of able-bodyminded heterosexuality.

This work investigates the issue of access to information for disabled people, evaluating the accessibility of Brazilian Government research sites through descriptive and exploratory methodology that are based upon information science theories. Theoretically speaking, this investigation is structured in a way that concepts of information, information society, disability and accessibility are carefully explored. The main goal is to look into the level of accessibility of Brazilian Government research web sites when it comes to disabled people, but also find out whether there is any indication that the discourse of digital inclusion, advocated by information society, is making a real difference for them. This investigation reveals that the access to contents of digital pages in the Brazilian Government web sites is still ineffective, presenting large amount of errors which means a high degree of difficulty for disabled people in general. In this way, it can be concluded that digital inclusion, universalization of internet access, information and knowledge are complex issues and they will continue to demand a lot of effort from everyone in order to become reality.

Physically disabled adults encounter many constraints in the societies they live in, and are often prone to stigma and discrimination, social exclusion and negative perceptions. Rooted in the qualitative research approach, this study is informed by a sample of 20 adults with physical disabilities. It gathered data relating to experiences of adults with physical disabilities. Participants were identified using purposive and convenience sampling and took part in comprehensive face to face interviews. This data collection method provided a platform to elicit experiences of adults living with physical disabilities. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse data. The major findings that came out of the study included the main challenges faced by adults with physical disabilities, established the accessibility barriers, assessed how adults cope with health challenges, evaluated the cultural and traditional prejudices of adults with physical disabilities and assessed the stigma and discrimination that they face. From the participants’ personal encounters and narratives, the study recommends assistance and support of physically disabled adults, implementation of awareness campaigns and donations to be specified according to their needs. More so, the study recommends extensively involving and consulting adults with physical disabilities in matters that directly or indirectly affects them and supervising and monitoring schools which accepts persons with disabilities.

Abstract:
As Chapter 5 shows, another public policy intended to prevent dependency—workmen’s compensation—greatly exacerbated disabled workers’ difficulties on the mainstream labor market. Originally intended to aid families who had lost a breadwinner to death or disability, compensation laws could not encompass the immense diversity of disabilities and their mutability over time. The statutes also did nothing to address the long-term financial challenges faced by workers who became permanently disabled. Due to the segregated nature of the labor force, furthermore, rarely did women and African Americans receive compensation for their work-induced illnesses and disabilities. Making matters worse, the structure of compensation tables created financial incentives for employers to exclude workers with disabilities, regardless of their origin. By the 1920s, nearly all major employers made it a practice to require physical examinations before hiring workers. Even Ford Motor Company substantially reduced its hiring of new workers with disabilities, although it retained many existing ones.

Abstract How was a short-statured person accepted in Greek communities? Did a dwarf child receive the same education as a normal child? Once adult, did he possess and exert the same rights as his contemporaries? Could he be elected to a magistracy? If severely crippled did he benefit from private or public assistance? No dwarf is mentioned in the sources describing Greek laws and customs. Information on the Greek attitude towards physical deviance must, as was the case for Egypt, be sought in secondary sources, such as accounts of the exposure of abnormal children and of legal provisions for the disabled.

Abstract:
People with mobility disabilities especially those after spinal cord injury experience significant changes in body composition. Limited physical activity among people with physical disabilities often leads to overweight or obesity. The practice of sport by these people can compensate for the lack of daily physical activity and thus prevent metabolic diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate body composition components in disabled hand cyclists using plethysmography. The study group consisted of nine disabled hand cyclists, competing in various disability categories and representing Poland internationally in road cycling. The research was carried out as part of the Academic Integrative Sport project carried out at the Institute of Physical Culture Sciences, College of Medical Sciences, University of Rzeszów and financed as part of the competition 'Social responsibility of science. Popularisation of science and promotion of sport’. Analysis of the collected data showed that all measured parameters are characterised by statistical significance, and individual subgroups (H2-3 and H4-5) differ from each other in terms of mean values of diagnosed parameters.

Abstract:
The paper will substantiate the author’s version of the retrospective analysis of the organizing in Ukraine in the 1920s-1930s the first state education system for the special children (the disabled), that is, children with physical or mental problems – blind, deaf, persons with mental or psychoneurotic problems. It is substantiated that for the first time in the history of national education, the state approach to the examination and selection, training, education, socialization or care of such children were legalized. In addition to specialized classes and boarding schools, the system of institutions for special children also included sanatorium schools, clinic schools, and speech therapy courses. During this period of time, a network of research institutions was also created – medical and pedagogical offices (1922), departments at the Ukrainian Research Institute of Pedagogy (1926) and the Ukrainian Psychoneurological Institute (1922), whose researches were engaged in the study of the special children and the development of methods for their rehabilitation training and possible correction of the health state. From the very beginning, the problem of the special children was considered in the unity of the pedagogical and medical aspects.

Abstract:
n the paper, the author points to the fact that in the Republic of Serbia there is a large number of war invalids, which is a consequence of the war conflicts that took place in the areas where we live now. That is why organized state care is needed for fighters who, as participants in numerous defensive wars, remained permanently disabled, with a lower or higher degree of incapacity. Hence, in Serbia, there has been a disability fund for exhausted and crippled soldiers for 160 years, which was also enacted during the reign of Prince Mihailo Obrenović, the so-called "Fund for Military Invalids". Unfortunately, even after gaining independence at the Berlin Congress in 1878, the territory of the Republic of Serbia was the scene of numerous wars, both in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the last century (20th century), starting from the Balkan Wars, through the First and Second World Wars, the wars in the territories of the former Yugoslav states, and until the NATO bombing in 1999, the Serbian people experienced a biological disaster. The consequences are immeasurable - several million dead and as many or even more wounded. That is why the state of Serbia assumed the obligation to take care of the families of fallen soldiers and the status of military invalids, by providing a large number of services, the corpus of which, from one period to another, was always increasing. Also, there is a large number of peacetime military invalids that the state, through its organs, must take care of. This is why the protection of veterans and the disabled and the provision of services in this area have been developed and harmonized with the real situation of the disabled, their needs and the economic possibilities of the Republic of Serbia. Associations of war and peacetime disabled soldiers of all levels play a key role in this

Abstract:
Using case studies and interviews, this study investigated the negative effects of violence against disabled individuals. Twenty girls who were visually and physically disabled completed a questionnaire designed to investigate the consequences that resulted from exposure to violence. The research was conducted in June 2019. The study participants were visually and physically disabled girls who had been exposed to violence. The participants were from the “Alaml Institute” in Misr Elgdida area, Cairo, Egypt. The two participants studied in this paper were deliberately chosen because their previous exposure to violence has resulted in behavioral and psychological disorders. The researcher pursued a clinical approach to study each individual’s personality in-depth. The results revealed that the most harmful effects and psychological problems resulting from exposure to violence were social withdrawal, aggression, tension, anxiety, bitterness, and hatred. The researcher recommends that psychological support, including counseling and psychotherapy, be offered to disabled girls who are exposed to external aggression. Furthermore, there is a need for reinforcing the psychological culture among adolescents, especially the psychology of adolescent girls with disabilities.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the uncertainty evaluation of the rise time of one pulse of an electrical fast transient burst (EFT/B), as carried out by the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro) of Brazil. The main goal is to analyse the impact of two uncertainty sources not included in the uncertainty budget example in IEC 61000-4-4 standard, and not very well explored in the literature: Voltage Measurement and Horizontal Accuracy. The uncertainty sources considered in this evaluation were: the oscilloscope’s resolution and calibration of the voltage scale (Voltage Measurement) and the time scale (Horizontal Accuracy); the bandwidth of the measurement system; the oscilloscope sampling rate; and the repeatability of ten different measurements. Two sets of measurements were taken from two different oscilloscope settings: in the first one, the interpolation function was enabled, and in the other one was disabled. In both cases two components stood out for their huge relative contribution: time reading and repeatability. Considered together, these two components added up approximately 87% of the expanded uncertainty for interpolated samples, and 95% for non-interpolated samples. Also, the results indicate that the oscilloscope interpolation function (OIF), if available, should be used, as the expanded uncertainty decreases by 27% due to a better oscilloscope resolution. A discussion of the uncertainty budget example in Annex C of IEC 61000-4-4 is presented. In conclusion, once the OIF is enabled, the two additional uncertainty components discussed in this paper should be considered in the uncertainty budget. They should not be neglected since the combined relative contribution of these components is larger than the relative contribution of repeatability.

Abstract:
The United Nations and many of the world’s governments define accessibility in the built environment as a human right, and U.S. architectural degree accreditation requires that accessible design be included in architectural degree curricula. However, architecture programs themselves have rarely been examined for their (in)accessibility. Looking at the architectural critique, or the crit, we note barriers for people with physical, sensory, mental, and cognitive disabilities including uncomfortable seating, long sessions with few breaks, and high-pressure extemporaneous speaking. These practices often go unquestioned, but the inaccessibility of crits is part of an overall culture of discouragement and discrimination for anyone who does not fit traditional expectations, and particularly people with disabilities. An accessible crit consciously addresses the range of abilities and needs that may be present among both students and critics. Here we highlight four different perspectives on accessibility: historical representation of disabled people in architecture training, diversity and equity-focused practices in critiques, applying constructivist pedagogy to architectural critiques, and accessibility as critical to sustainability and resilience. Each perspective offers opportunities for transforming the traditional crit to better meet the needs of participants while furthering architectural education.Disability is rarely included in professional discussions of diversity; for example, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) keeps statistics on members’ race, ethnicity, and gender, but not disability. Meanwhile, statistics on college and graduate students show a significant portion who experience disability, including physical and sensory disabilities along with the “invisible” disabilities of mental illness, neurodiversity, and chronic illness. Since 2020 the physical and mental stresses of higher education have been even more apparent, as well as related stresses of both in-person and remote learning during a pandemic. Rather than returning to “normal” operations that present barriers, we propose taking this moment to re-examine one of the most fundamental practices in architectural education, and using it to leverage a more equitable and productive learning environment.
