Abstract:
The subject discussed refers to the importance of physical activity for people with disabilities, both in physical and psychological aspects. The general objective of this work is to identify the relationship of the person with disability to the sport, as guaranteed by the Federal Constitution, giving the person with disability the right to the sport. As a specific objective, to analyze through journalistic texts what is the perception of the person with disability in face of his/her limitations. The methodology used will be an analytical approach, together with bibliographic and documentary research. The relevance for the study of this theme is the look at the person with disability, which is often forgotten by the public power, or pre-judged by the society that most of the times does not know the concept of disability, or when they come across it, they do not know how to act or how to treat a person with disability. Maybe because they don't even know how they think according to their current life condition, as to the difficulties, as to the accessibility, as to the expectations, as to the way they are seen or treated by society. This raises a question: How are people with disabilities treated by society and public authorities? Are their rights being respected? This answer can be traced back to a critical analysis of a person with disability's discourse.

Abstract:
The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if greater physical distance existed between a person with a visible physical stigma and non-disabled persons than existed between persons without a visible disability. A significant (p < .05) movement away from the person with a disability was found. The results suggest the possibility of using physical distance as a criterion measure for stigma.

Abstract:
The present study aimed to examine the factors influencing the attitudes of Nigerians toward people with a physical disability. The study hypothesized that education and exposure to the physical challenge would influence attitudes toward people with a physical disability. The design of the study was cross-sectional. The participants comprise one hundred (100) workers drawn from state and local government civil service in the Enugu State, Nigeria, using a random sampling technique. Data were collected through a self-administered survey questionnaire, using a modified version of the Scale of Attitudes towards Disabled Persons (SADP). The result revealed that the participants largely showed positive attitudes towards persons with physical challenges. Two hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis and the analysis revealed that educational leveldid not influence attitude towards the physically challenged. However, it was found that exposure to a person with physical challenges influenced the attitudes toward people with a physical disability.

Abstract:
Social rights for people with disabiltiy need to be protected, including political rights. The operationally political rights consist the right of chce and the right to be elect. The issue arises when people with disability have to face the term of physical and spiritual requirements for president, though neither are not entirely contradiction but technically the implementation of the health physically requirement threatens people with disability to be president. The study aims to explain the legal certainty of people with disability to be president linked to physical and spiritual requirement. This research aims to know physical and spiritual rule and limitations. This research uses normative juridical methods and analysis presented descriptively. This research uses conceptual approach, legal approach, and historical approach. The conclusion of this research is that there is no certainty for people with disability to be president until the government has the implementation which is regulate and affirm people with disabilty to pass the physical health and spiritual health requirements. The arrangement of formulation physical and spritual health was conducted by medical check up by the doctors team and decision made thorough them using medical approach and missed the social approach. While there is no clarity about the limits of form capable in physically and spiritual health to be president linked to people with disabilty as the extent of spectrum of ability.

Abstract:
People who live with a physical disability requires further attention. Living as a disabled person is not easy, especially if the individual was born as a normal person. This study aims to identify the protective factors that play an influential role in the attainment of resilience in individuals who experience physical changes as a disabled person. This research applied the instrumental case study approach. The participants consisted of eight individuals with physical disabilities. The data was gathered using an in-depth interview, while the thematic analysis technique was used in the data analysis. The results show that there were eight protective factors involved in achieving resilience in individuals who experience physical change as a disabled person. The eight factors consist of four external protective factors; social support, psychological intervention, the presence of a source of inspiration and the availability of public facilities for persons with disabilities. There are also four internal protective factors, namely religiosity, the willingness to learn, an awareness of social support, and an awareness of self-identity. The results of this study can be implemented in order to assist in the attainment of resilience among other groups of individuals who also undergo a change of physical condition through the strengthening of the eight protective factors.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper describes the impact of disability in Australia on earning and learning. The report is based on the official statistics on Disability Ageing and Carers by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Whilst 67.9% of those aged 15–64 years without a reported disability complete Year 12 only 43.6% of those with a disability complete the highest level of secondary schooling. In the labor market, the participation rate is lower for persons with a disability (53.4%) compared to 84.1% for those without a disability. Even when people with disabilities are ready to work it is accompanied by a higher rate of unemployment (10.3%) compared with 4.6% for those without a disability. Whilst general labor force participation has increased from 2003 to 2018 the labor force participation of persons with a disability has remained stubbornly constant. Furthermore, the unemployment rate for person with a disability has increased markedly from 2009 while that for persons without a disability has decreased. When the influence of all these factors is combined there is an overwhelming landscape of disadvantage within which a person with a disability has to navigate an educational and vocational pathway.

AbstractDisabilities is a person who has a physical defect that affects their activity in society. Their problems like as discrimination, social imbalance, less of infrastructur, and the lack of employment opportunities is the assignment of the government to completion of that injustice. Indonesian became one of the country that haven�t be able to solve the problems of disability. It�s also be a serious discussion in ASEAN. So, in 2011 the ASEAN leaders agreed on the establishment of ASEAN Disability Forum as a container to accommodate the aspirations of ther disabilities in order to their justice. ASEAN Disability Forum expected to solve the problems of disability in other ASEAN countries, especially in Indonesia. The main problem is expected to be resolved is employment opportunities for the disabled so as to improve their lives.Keywords: Disabilities, ASEAN Disabiliy Forum, IndonesianAbstrakPenyandang disabilitas merupakan seseorang yang memiliki keterbatasan fisik sehingga mempengaruhi segala aktivitasnya di masyarakat.

Abstract:
The standard of the reasonable person or its equivalent, in general, is used in many jurisdictions to determine fault in the form of negligence. Although the standard is predominantly objective it is also subjective in that the subjective attributes of the person against whom the standard applies as well as the subjective circumstances present at the time of the delict or tort lend themselves to an objective-subjective application. In South African law, before a person can be judged according to the standard of the reasonable person, the person must first be held accountable. If a person cannot be held accountable, then the standard does not apply at all. The general standard of the reasonable person cannot be applied to children, the elderly, persons with physical disabilities, persons with mental impairments or experts. Therefore, depending on the subjective attributes of the person against whom the standard is being applied, the standard may have to be adjusted accordingly. The general standard of the reasonable person would be raised when dealing with experts, for instance, and lowered when dealing with persons with physical disabilities. This contribution considers whether the current application of the standard of the reasonable person in South African law is satisfactory when applied generally to all persons, no matter their age, experience, gender, physical disability and cognitive ability. The application of the standard of the reasonable person in South African law is compared to the application of the standard of the reasonable person or its equivalent in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and France. Just as South African law applies the standard of the reasonable expert to experts, this contribution explores whether the South African law should be developed to use similar adjusted standards when dealing with children, the elderly, persons with physical disabilities and so on. The general standard of the reasonable person cannot be applied to children, the elderly, persons with physical disabilities, persons with mental impairments as well as experts. Thus depending on the subjective attributes of the person against whom the standard is being applied, the standard may have to be adjusted accordingly or if the person cannot be held accountable, not applied at all. The general standard of the reasonable person would for example be raised when dealing with experts and lowered when dealing with persons with physical disabilities. This contribution considers whether the current application of the standard of the reasonable person in South African law is satisfactory when applied generally, to all persons, no matter their age, experience, gender, physical disability and cognitive ability. The application of the standard of the reasonable person in South African law is compared to the application of the standard of the reasonable person or its equivalent in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and France. Just as South African law applies the standard of the reasonable expert to experts, this contribution explores whether the South African law should be developed to use similar adjusted standards when dealing with children, the elderly, persons' with physical disabilities and so on. [1] In French law bonus pater familias as three separate words is encountered (see para 3.4 below) whereas in South African law, bonus paterfamilias, as two separate words is encountered (see for example, Neethling and Potgieter Law of Delict 142-143). In this contribution, for the sake of uniformity and convenience, bonus pater familias as three separate words will be used.

Abstract:
In its short existence as an academic discipline, disability studies has devoted significant attention to the representation of disabled persons in the visual arts, literature, theater, and public life. Disability scholars have studied the ways that cultural forms depend on a putatively normal body to reinforce regimes of national, racial, and sexual normalcy while using the person with a cognitive or physical impairment as a metaphor for the queer, subaltern, or marginal. A common recent criticism among disability scholars is that metaphoric treatments of impairment seldom confront the material conditions of actual disabled persons, permitting dominant social structures to be written on the body of a person who is politely asked to step offstage once the metaphoric exchange is made. Disabled artists and activists have attempted to reverse this pattern, turning their cameo appearances in such theaters back on the audience, refusing the crippling gaze of an ableist society and reassigning the meanings of disability in their own terms. As Carrie Sandahl says, people with disabilities are “not only staring back, but also talking back, insisting that ‘this body has a mouth‘” (13).

This study explored the relationship between racial groups, racial identity, and attitudes toward dating a person with a physical disability. It was hypothesized that African Americans would have higher levels of racial identity than Caucasian Americans. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that because of shared minority group status, African Americans would have more positive attitudes than Caucasians toward dating someone described as having a physical disability. African American participants were found to have higher levels of racial identity than Caucasian participants, but had significantly more negative attitudes regarding dating a person with a physical disability than Caucasians. A discussion of racial identity, as well as implications for rehabilitation counselors, is included.

Abstract:
The issue of pain warrants attention as, by virtue of having an intellectual disability, a person may have associated medical or physical conditions and associated factors increasing their risk of pain disorders. People with intellectual disability experiencing pain need to be provided with the best possible care. The focus of this article is on the exploration of pain: physiology and types; manifestations and responses in the context of intellectual disability in order to promote effective, knowledgeable assessment and management of pain for this client group. Pain is a subjective, complex, physiological and psychological phenomenon that can be acute or chronic and may be classified according to its cause. Within the experience of pain, the concept of total pain describes the physical, psychological, social and spiritual factors that influence the experience of pain.

Abstract:
Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly (APAQ) currently mandates that authors use person-first language in their publications. In this viewpoint article, we argue that although this policy is well intentioned, it betrays a very particular cultural and disciplinary approach to disability: one that is inappropriate given the international and multidisciplinary mandate of the journal. Further, we contend that APAQ’s current language policy may serve to delimit the range of high-quality articles submitted and to encourage both theoretical inconsistency and the erasure of the ways in which research participants self-identify. The article begins with narrative accounts of each of our negotiations with disability terminology in adapted physical activity research and practice. We then provide historical and theoretical contexts for person-first language, as well as various other widely circulated alternative English-language disability terminology. We close with four suggested revisions to APAQ’s language policy.

Abstract:
Abstract Physical functioning is essential for independent living and aging in place among older adults. Although older adults show a general trend of increasing functional disability, it was unclear how cancer diagnosis, which also has an increased incidence rate among older adults, may potentially aggravate the progress of functional decline at the within- and between-person levels. Using 3 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS, 2011-2015), the current study examined the trajectory of functional disability and associated factors over 5 years among older adults with (n = 139) and without cancer (n = 212), who were matched on key demographic characteristics. We considered four contributing factors to disability as specified in the Disablement Process model as covariates, in the context of cancer diagnosis timing at both the within- and between-person levels. These factors were psychological (i.e., depressive symptoms), physical limitations (i.e., pain, fall, and frailty), cognitive impairment (i.e., self-reported memory problems and word recall), and environmental constraints (i.e., social contact and availability of support). Consistent with the literature, there was a general trend of increasing functional disability among all participants over time. At the within-person level, although cancer diagnosis timing was associated with higher levels of functional difficulty, we found a slower increasing rate over time. At the between-person level, functional disability trajectory was not associated with cancer diagnosis timing. These findings suggest that maintenance of physical functioning should be considered at the within-person level, and personalized care is recommended for Chinese older adults with cancer.

ObjectivesTo examine the association of education and physical work load factors on the occupational differences in disability retirement due to knee osteoarthritis (OA).DesignLongitudinal study.SettingLinkage of several nationwide registers and a job exposure matrix in Finland.ParticipantsA total of 1 135 654 Finns aged 30–60 years in gainful employment were followed from 2005 to 2013 for full disability retirement due to knee OA.Primary and secondary outcome measuresWe calculated age-adjusted incidence rates and examined the association of occupation, education and physical work load factors with disability retirement using competing risk regression model. Disability retirement due to other causes than knee OA, old-age retirement and death were treated as competing risk.ResultsA total of 6117 persons had disability retirement due to knee OA. Women had a higher age-adjusted incidence rate than men (72 vs 60 per 100 000 person-years, respectively). In men, a very high risk of disability retirement was found among construction workers, electricians and plumbers (HR 16.6, 95% CI 12.5 to 22.2), service workers (HR 12.7, 95% CI 9.2 to 17.4) and in women among building caretakers, cleaners, assistant nurses and kitchen workers (HR 15.5, 95% CI 11.7 to 20.6), as compared with professionals. The observed occupational differences were largely explained by educational level and noticeably mediated by physical work load factors in both genders.ConclusionOur observational study suggests that the risk of disability retirement among manual workers is strongly attributed to the physically heavy work.

Abstract:
The Namibian government ratified the UNCRPD and its optional protocol in 2007 raising expectations that such a convention would fundamentally improve the lives of persons with disabilities. However, persons with disabilities continue to experience inequalities and violation of dignity. This study explores the impact of the UNCRPD as reflected on the lives of persons with disabilities in Namibia. An exploratory qualitative study with the use of photovoice and in-depth interviews was conducted in Omusati and Khomas regions, Namibia. Persons with disabilities ( n = 31 ) were recruited via purposive sampling, of which n = 25 participants were engaged in three focus group discussions. Participants employed in the disability sector ( n = 6 ) were engaged in in-depth interviews. Data were thematically analysed. The study findings revealed the inadequacy of disability rights information dissemination and continued barriers to inclusivity of persons with disabilities. Stigma, discrimination, limited financial opportunities, weak political support, and limited accessibility to physical infrastructure caused barriers to inclusivity. However, opportunities to advance the UNCRPD were also identified. There is a need for the disability sector to build on identified institutional facilitators to advance disability rights through mobilisation of local resources, communities, and government to redress the challenges identified in Namibia.

Abstract:
Adapted physical activity professionals have embraced for some time the concept of a nonmedical model; however, traditional approaches in service delivery continue to exist. Abilities-based is not a model for service delivery; it is an approach that offers a new perspective that is based on person-centerdness, openness, and compatibility. The focus is on the person in a learning situation, not the disability, not the activity, and not the environment. Although these factors cannot be ignored, emphasis in an ability-based approach shifts to the person. Attitude within and toward service delivery is the critical point of departure in the abilities-based approach. This article discusses demystifying disability and building positive attitudes as features of this approach. It then discusses the influence of this approach on how we prepare future professionals of adapted physical activity, and it concludes with an example of an abilities-based program.

Abstract:
This paper examines the need for interdisciplinary knowledge in the formation of public health models for health-promoting physical activity (PA) for people experiencing disability. PA promotion for people experiencing disability is a multifaceted endeavor and requires navigating a multitude of complicated and interactive factors. Both disability and health are multifaceted constructs and the relationship between PA and health is embedded within a complicated web of interactive influences. PA promotion must consider interacting biological and psychosocial factors within the person and in the sociopolitical environment. Models for research and practice need to evolve from value and belief systems that center on people experiencing disability without stigmatizing them. We argue that interdisciplinary research and practice is needed in navigating the intricacies of PA promotion toward improving the health of people experiencing disability and facilitating inclusion, empowerment, and dignity.

Abstract:
Background: Disability reflects the difficulties that the disabled person experiences during physical movement as well as interaction with the society. This restrictions act as barrier for executing daily living activities which results into poor health outcome and increased dependency. The objective is to study impact of physical disability on activities of daily living (ADL) of physically disabled person.Methods: A present cross-sectional study was undertaken at Indira Gandhi government medical college, Nagpur. Physically disabled persons aged more than 18 years of age attending outpatient department for disability were included in this study. This study was carried out from 1st May to 31st September 2018. In all total 83 subjects were enrolled in this study. For assessment of activity of daily living Barthel index was used. Descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentage) were obtained and data was analysed by using Microsoft Excel and Epi-Info version 7.2.Results: In all 83 rural subjects were considered for final analysis. Out of 83 subjects 49 (59.04%) were male and 34 (40.96%) were female. Mean±SD age in years was 40.5±12.9. Majority of study participants were belonging to class IV and V category of socio-economic status. Activities such as transfer, mobility, and stair climbing showed greater impact of physical disability. It was found that 18.1% respondents required major help for transfer as an ADL.Conclusions: It is clear from the present study that the activity of daily living is impacted due to disability. In every activity domain it was found that majority were independent.

The result is there are still many discriminatory attitudes towards persons with disabilities, such as from education access that is not yet the totality of persons with disabilities, then economic access for people with disabilities is less considered, then in health access that is still not fulfilled, especially health against physical disabilities, and less education of political access access for people with disabilities.Kata Kunci: payung hukum disabilitas, dukungan, aksesibilitas, pembangunan sosial.

Abstract:
The use of quantitative self-report methods for assessing the stress associated with dementia caregiving, especially among minority groups, has been lately criticized. The aim of this study was to examine whether Human Figures Drawings might provide a tool for assessing caregivers' burden. Sixty Israeli Arabs – 30 family caregivers of a person with dementia and 30 gender and age-matched non-caregivers – were asked to draw a caregiver of an elderly person with dementia and a caregiver of an elderly person with a physical disability. While no differences were found between the drawings of caregivers and non-caregivers, statistically significant differences were found between all the characteristics of the drawings depicting a caregiver of an elderly person with dementia and a caregiver of an elderly person with a physical disability, as drawn by caregivers. Several of the drawings' characteristics were significantly associated with caregiver burden. By introducing a nonverbal form of expression, Human Figures Drawings might add utility to the assessment of dementia caregivers' burden.

Abstract:
Low social awareness of disability issues maintains discriminatory attitudes in society and does not contribute to improving the position of persons with disabilities. The media play a significant role in this because they produce new or reproduce existing meanings through representation. The media represent different identities and act as a forum for the social construction of reality, they construct and reproduce the social definition of disability. A highly discriminatory society is the main reason for the difficult life of people with disabilities, but objective media coverage of the topic of disability and persons with disabilities can improve this situation. Such reporting would contribute to changing the stereotypical attitudes towards which a person with a disability is viewed as one who needs help and pity, without considering physical and cultural barriers created in society. If living conditions were adapted to people with disabilities to the extent that they were adapted to all other persons, the quality of life of persons with disabilities would be significantly improved. In the research conducted for the purposes of this paper, we came to the conclusion that print media in Serbia do not devote sufficient space to the topic of disability, and generally report stereotypically.

Abstract:
This article argues that disability products, in particular those supplied by or through government agencies and local councils, are designed for the physical impairment but not for the person who uses them. This can lead to products that serve only to increase, at a psychological level, a person's sense of being disabled, especially in those people who develop a physical impairment as an adult. The article also discusses how the ‘gratitude’ of the user hinders any change to the present situation.

Abstract:
Aim: This article aims to explore how policymakers conceptualise a person suitable for disability income support (DIS) and how this compares across two settings – Australia and Canada. Methods: A constructivist grounded theory approach was used; 45 policymakers in Australia and Canada were interviewed between March 2012 and September 2013. All policymakers are or were influential in the design or assessment of DIS. Results: Results found that the policymakers in both jurisdictions define a suitable person as having as an ‘ideal type’ of disability with five features – visibility, diagnostic proof, permanency, recognition as a medical illness and perceived as externally caused. Many of the policymakers described how mental illnesses are not an ‘ideal type’ of disability for DIS by juxtaposing the features of mental illnesses against physical illnesses. As such, mental illnesses were labelled imperfect disabilities and physical illnesses as ‘ideal type’ for DIS. Conclusions: The rise of DIS recipients has divided the once protected ‘deserving’ category of the disabled into more (‘ideal type’ of disability) and less deserving (imperfect disability). Such conceptualisations are important because these categories can influence the allocation of welfare resources.

Abstract:
The mere difference view, endorsed by some philosophers and Christian scholars, claims that disability by itself does not make a person worse off on balance—any negative impacts on overall welfare are due to social injustice. This article defends the bad difference view—some disability is bad not simply because of social arrangements but because of biological deficits that, by themselves, make a person worse off. It argues that the mere difference view contradicts core doctrines of Christian faith. The analysis focuses on intellectual rather than physical or sensory disabilities.

Abstract:
Parents of a child or young person with disability face not only the same challenges as parents of typically developing children and young people, but also the extra challenges of supporting the child or young person with disability in such a way as to maximise both their own quality of life (QOL) and family quality of life (FQOL) for all family members. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) encompasses not only physical health but also mental and emotional health, equally important for FQOL. This article builds on information from previous publications, and illustrates relevant issues and the innovative methods parents, caregivers, and professionals have devised to enhance the HRQOL for children and young people with disability, and to improve FQOL. The author draws upon her personal lived experiences of having two daughters, the eldest an adult with disability, as well as being the medical consultant and manager of a newly created health unit tasked with supporting students with disability, who often have high health needs, in educational settings. The health conditions selected are those that have a major impact, not only on the young person with disability but also on family members. Vignettes, all deidentified true stories, will be included to illustrate the multiple issues faced by children and young people with disability, their families and extended families, and treating clinicians. These stories will hopefully resonate with families in particular.

Abstract:
This study investigated the association between physical activity and self-perceptions such as body image, physical self-concept, and self-esteem among persons with an acquired physical disability in a non-Western population. Other personal variables such as gender and time of onset of disability were also examined. A convenience sample of 66 Hong Kong Chinese adults with an acquired physical disability were asked to complete a battery of questionnaires about their levels of physical activity and self-perceptions. Over 70% of the participants were not physically active enough to obtain health benefits. Contrary to studies focused on Western populations, the relationships between physical activity and self-perceptions were weak. The time of onset of disability, rather than activity level and gender, was more related to self-perceptions. The present study provides some evidence to advance our knowledge of self-perceptions in a non-Western population and highlights the importance of considering culture and social location in studying physical activity levels of those with an acquired physical disability.

Abstract:
Today, the activities of all national institutions, including public authorities, public associations, etc., are aimed at creating conditions in which persons with disabilities can lead an independent life and take an active part in all its aspects. Full participation of people with disabilities in society is not possible due to numerous barriers and obstacles. An «ordinary» person may not notice them, and a person with a disability has to deal with them on a daily basis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the training of accompanying persons with disabilities. Research methods: theoretical – analysis of psychological and pedagogical sources on the researched issues, generalization and systematization of data on training – attendant of persons with disabilities; empirical – polls. The sample of the study consisted of 10 volunteers who accompanied the participants of the International Art Symposium-Plein Air of Persons with Disabilities «Art without Restrictions». Volunteers in the survey noted that the vast majority do not have qualified training. Among the problems faced when accompanying people with disabilities are the following: ignorance of others about the capabilities and needs of people with disabilities; difficulty in establishing interpersonal communication; the presence of architectural barriers that prevent unimpeded movement or access to a particular object; wrong approach that does not take into account the opinion of people with disabilities in solving their problems; a state of despair or helplessness of such people, etc. According to the results of the study, the importance of introducing the standard of the profession «Companion of Persons with Disabilities» and training specialists with the same qualification is an important step towards ensuring access to public goods of all categories of citizens, including people with disabilities. At the same time, the social service of physical support is part of a system of measures that contribute to the social rehabilitation of people with disabilities.

Abstract:
Objective.To identify occupations with a high risk of disability retirement as a result of hip osteoarthritis (OA), and to examine the effect of physical workload factors on the occupational differences in disability retirement.Methods.A total of 1,135,654 (49.4% women) Finns aged 30–60 years in gainful employment were followed from 2005 to 2013 for full disability retirement as a result of hip OA. Information on pensions, occupation, and education were obtained from national registers. Physical workload was assessed by a sex-specific job exposure matrix. We calculated age-adjusted incidence rates and examined the associations of occupation, education, and physical workload factors with disability retirement using a competing risk regression model.Results.Age-adjusted incidence rate was 25 and 22 per 100,000 person-years in men and women, respectively. Both men and women working in lower-level nonmanual and manual occupations had an elevated age-adjusted risk of disability retirement as a result of hip OA. A very high risk of disability retirement was found among male construction workers, electricians, and plumbers (HR 12.7, 95% CI 8.4–19.7), and female professional drivers (HR 15.2, 95% CI 7.5–30.8) as compared with professionals. After adjustment for age and education, the observed occupational differences in disability retirement were largely explained by physical workload factors among men and to a smaller extent, among women.Conclusion.Our results suggest that education and physical workload factors appear to be the major reasons for excess disability retirement as a result of hip OA in manual occupations, particularly among men.

Abstract:
This study examined reactions to physical disability among 5th and 11th graders in the United States and Japan. Students were presented with a drawing of four children standing next to a child in a wheelchair, and told that this group was going swimming. Students were asked to describe and explain their feelings, first, as the disabled person, and then as a nondisabled group member. Although cultural differences in specific response categories were found in both hypothetical roles, on the whole, Japanese and American children appeared to be more similar than different in their reactions to physical disability. Patterns of developmental differences, however, varied by culture. Japanese adolescents were more likely than their younger peers to worry about imposing on others in the disabled role, whereas Japanese 5th graders were more likely than 11th graders to make empathic responses in the interactant role. In addition, there was a tendency for more American 11th than 5th graders to express embarrassment in the disabled role. Findings are discussed in terms of Goffman’s (1963) model of “stigma”, the individualism-collectivism paradigm, and theories of cognitive development.

Abstract:
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which aims at the eradication of poverty by 2030 has as its fourth goal the need to ensure inclusive and equitable education for all. Nonetheless, less than two per cent of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Ghana are able to attain higher education. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether libraries, which are major components of Higher Education Institutions, are physically accessible to even the limited number of PWDs in such Institutions. This study was undertaken in 2015 using the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi (KNUST) in Ghana as a case study. A mixed method approach was used that involved a desk study, interviews and a physical audit of the KNUST Library System using a checklist developed from international accessibility standards. In all, 16 libraries were assessed. The study concluded that the libraries at KNUST were generally not physically accessible and this served as a deterrent to PWDs in their academic pursuits. Recommendations which include the need for retrofitting the libraries were made to help make the libraries accessible and in consequence help toward the attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with respect to Ghana.Keywords: Accessibility; Higher Education Institutions; Libraries; Persons with disabilities (PWDs); Universal design principles

Abstract:
The system for assessing appropriate damages for individuals who have suffered a personal injury, caused by another person or persons is well established in the UK. A claimant, for example, who has been in a road accident, work accident, medical accident or negligent action can make a claim for his/her physical and psychological injuries, time off work and future disability, provided it is proven that another person(s) is responsible. The system involves obtaining, medical-legal evidence on the diagnosis, causation, treatment and prognosis of any injuries, physical or psychological. One key aspect of this covers the crucial issue of evidential reliability. This paper explains the key questions facing lawyers and experts alike in the UK; fundamental postulates or beliefs about evidence; ways to improve reliability; the relevance of pre-event history and improving evidential reliability via Part 35 questioning. The UK, along with the USA, has the most advanced and developed system of personal injury litigation process.
