In this paper, I propose some priority areas for research in the field of special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities and some additional challenges regarding conceptualization of SEN. As the term “special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)” is now used in England, that term will also be used as appropriate, particularly with reference to the system rather than children and young pe...

Many countries provide multiple school settings for students with special educational needs (SEN), such as inclusive schooling in mainstream school, classes, and schools. However, even though transfers are especially challenging SEN, research on between different (i.e. placements) SEN is scarce. The current study used administrative census data about Switzerland to investigate the frequency, di...

Within the R + D I project “Study of educational response to students with Specific Need Educational Support hereinafter (SEN) associated disability”, one areas analyzed covers extracurricular and complementary activities if these meet needs specific support needs. Our objective in this research is describe analyze inclusion SEN disability development activities. A total 1496 teachers from Spai...

The recently constructed two dimensional Sen connection is applied in the problem of quasilocal energy-momentum in general relativity. First it is shown that, because of one of the two 2 dimensional Sen–Witten identities, Penrose’s quasi-local charge integral can be expressed as a Nester–Witten integral. Then, to find the appropriate spinor propagation laws to the Nester– Witten integral, all t...

AIM To assess academic attainment and special educational needs (SEN) in extremely preterm children in middle childhood. METHODS Of 307 extremely preterm (< or =25 weeks) survivors born in the UK and Ireland in 1995, 219 (71%) were re-assessed at 11 years of age and compared to 153 classmates born at term, using standardised tests of cognitive ability and academic attainment and teacher repor...

Interactions between normal, protease-sensitive prion protein (PrP-sen or PrP(C)) and its protease-resistant isoform (PrP-res or PrP(Sc)) are critical in transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) diseases. To investigate the propagation of PrP-res between cells we tested whether PrP-res in scrapie brain microsomes can induce the conversion of PrP-sen to PrP-res if the PrP-sen is bound to un...

Background Long-term antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy is considered a risk factor of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, the duration of therapy contributes to acceleration of large-vessel atherosclerosis. Therefore, in this study, we tested the hypothesis that long-term AED therapy plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of microangiopathy in patients with epilepsy. Methods We recruited 120 patie...
