The main objective of this study was to see if older people could maintain their quality of life and independence after their homes had been modified and they were using community services as recommended by an occupational therapist. There were 167 study participants aged 69 to 94 years from the Northern Sydney Area, After being assessed at home by an occupational therapist, 105 were randomly allocated to one of two groups, to either have or not have the occupational therapist's recommendations carried out, They were assessed again after six months, A third group did not require any intervention, This group was followed up by telephone and postal questionnaire at six months. The main outcome measures used were the Sickness Impact Profile, the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale, the Life Satisfaction Index, assessment of Activities of Daily Living, the Health Assessment Questionnaire and change in residence. After six months there were no difference in outcomes among the three groups. Most study participants remained at a satisfactory level on each measure. Three people had died, One had moved to hostel care and one had moved to a nursing home. A further 14 from the group having no intervention had withdrawn from the study, A secondary objective of this study was to indicate the responsiveness of these outcome measures to change in the short term (over six months) in an elderly population. Twelve-month assessments are in progress and may indicate what to expect from these outcome measures in the medium term.

Sleeping Beauty in Chelmno: Jane Yolen's Briar Rose or Breaking the Spell of Silence

AbstractThis article analyses Jane Yolen's Briar Rose (1992) from the perspective of trauma studies as a novelistic transposition of "Sleeping Beauty" in the context of the Holocaust. It argues that the fairy tale fulfils a psychological and even existential role for the fictional survivor of the extermination camp, but also a pedagogical, moral and political one through the figure of the cowitness central to the economy of the novel. Through Becca's recovery of the biographical elements underlying her grandmother's retelling of the story, Yolen shows how the fairy tale can serve to communicate traumatic personal memories and transmit collective cultural knowledge to counter the disappearance of first-hand witnesses.RésuméCet article analyse le recours au conte de fées dans un roman récent de Jane Yolen, Briar Rose, qui transpose le conte de La Belle au bois dormant dans le contexte de l'Holocauste. A partir des études sur le traumatisme (trauma studies), il montre comment le conte de fées remplit plusieurs rôles: psychologique voire existentiel pour la survivante du camp, mais aussi didactique, politique et moral à travers la figure du co-témoin placée au coeur du dispositif narratif. Yolen fait ainsi appel à deux genres pédagogiques, le conte et la literature de jeunesse sur l'Holocauste comme outils pédagogiques permettant la transmission d'une mémoire individuelle et collective qui problématise la question épineuse de la représentation de l'Holocauste et de la fictionnalisation de l'histoire qui accompagne la disparition des témoins directs.

Jane Eyre: una lectura para el verano y la película que nos espera a la vuelta del otoño.

Siguiendo con la costumbre de hablar del cine de literatura, hoy proponemos la novela Jane Eyre1, escrita por Charlotte Brönte en 1847, recomendada para jóvenes a partir de los catorce años, con madurez y formación lectora previa, y con una versión cinematográfica que se estrenará en España a finales del mes de septiembre. En tiempo vacacional es un privilegio contar con historias que nos ocupen las siestas de las calurosas y largas tardes de verano con tiempo para todo, nos metan en relatos que nos absorban, nos lleven a mundos distantes y nos permitan acercarnos a vidas muy atractivas, con historias de valentía y de superación que nos impulsen a ser mejores. Es el momento de disfrutar con novela que pueden quedar a medias en otros momentos del año con más obligaciones.

Jane Goodall

Hi ha qui els veu com una versió caricaturesca, o fins i tot grotesca, de la humanitat: uns éssers de moviments desmanegats que amb alguns dels seus comportaments envileixen els nostres aparentment sublims i altisonants propòsits vitals. Altres, en canvi, els perceben com uns germans que des de fa més de cinc milions d'anys segueixen un camí diferent però que, tanmateix, amb la seva mirada profunda apel·len als nostres orígens compartits: una font de coneixement sobre la nostra essència, uns éssers sensibles als quals cal entendre si els volem preservar, per dignitat, de l'extinció a la qual nosaltres mateixos els abocaríem de forma inconscient.

WOMAN IN CHEMISTRY. JANE MARCET, A RELEVANT FIGURE IN CHEMISTRY EDUCATION

A historiographical study of Jane Marcet’s role in spreading chemistry knowledge to a wider audience in the 19th century is presented here. Her efforts to spread scientific knowledge were crucial to sharing the most important theories of chemistry among different audiences, particularly women and young people. Through her book, “Conversations on Chemistry,” which was published in several editions from 1806 to 1853, she contributed significantly to chemistry education. Despite controversy over the large number of editions, this text is a strong witness to the active participation of women in science. Her scientific rigor and contribution to narrative strategies in chemistry pedagogy have given Jane Marcet consideration not only as an important woman in the scientific community of England during the first half of the 19th century but also as a central figure in the early development of chemistry diffusion and education.
