= INTRODUCTION =

Hi everybody,my name is Petar Ivanov Petrov.My native town is called Veliko Tyrnovo.I am living in Sofia, Bulgaria and I am a student in the University of Sofia "St.Kliment Ohridsky". My specialty is "Pre-school and Primary School Education".

= MY PROJECT =

"Children with the special educational needs"

Observations in a school
hi to all.I visited the school(as i had promised)and i observed several classes in which the teachers work with so-called "resource students",that's children with special educational needs.The integration of these children in Bulgaria ,in ordinary schools has been applied for about one year now.In Bulgaria,the integration of such children in ordinary schools is related to the need to work out of,as well as in class.Here comes the need of specialst pedagogues-resource teachers.A resource teacher can work with 6-8 children.Each child is worked individually,on individual programme prepared in advance.In the class can't to be integrated no more than 3 of such students.The "resource students" can be a children with: chronic illnesses,autism,lower IQ,children with different health problems( may be i've let pass some others variants).Psyhologist,logopedian and reource teachers compile a profile and necessary documentation for each child.The task of the resource teacher includes visits to the homes of the students,he or she can even be with a student during the class-on which way (for example),the hyperactivity of some children can be reduced.At the school that i visited the teachers also work with children from orphanage.Only 5% of them have parents.These children rely only on their knowledge acquired in class and  during  their work with recourse teachers.In relation to the use of specialised work with these students,i intend to descrybe my observations of a child with 60% autism,who wasn't able to stay in class or take part in the learning process even for 10 minutes.The same child (after 1 year ago) ,after the teachers carefully worked with it,now stays with whole class (together with the other children,gives answers to some questions.That child sings and draws,and the main problem whit it are related to coordination of movements-difficultes  with writing.The main subjects on which the resource teacher  work with the students with special aducational needs are Bulgarian and Maths.Of course some basic knowledge of the other subjects is offered to the students too.The most important thing when working with resource students(as teacher says) is to make them "literate" and then make them a part of society.When working with such children  the teachers starting points is :what the child can do and what it wants,towards what it has to learn.The resource teacher works for no more than 2 hours with one child.As the teachers says "we should treat such children with love and attention and most importantly ,we must not consider  them different from ourselves.The work ,with children with chronic illnesses is the most difficult because these children are often absent and miss classes and resprectively these children losed a learning material.Those are the information and impressions that I and my colleagues Bilqna and Sonia succed to compile during the observations of classes in which teachers work with resource students-children with special educational needs.Soon i will have some information on the possible achievments and difficulties accompanying the education of these children.

= CONCLUSIONS = The exchange of knowledge about the integration of resource students will help all participants in this program by targeting and defining the problems encountered, and developing methods of successfully resolving these problems. The current research shows that on the Bulgarian part, the progress of this integration is going with slower pace, compared to the German side but the identified obstacles have been, and still are somewhat common and similar. It can be concluded that more time is needed for the integration process of resource students to be achieved, as in Bulgaria, for example this program is still in its first steps. We are confident that by keeping up our input of dedication, hard work and care, the continuation of our cooperation in this initiative, will eventually lead us to achieving its goals with firmly positive results.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Petar. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Petar~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

User:JWSchmidt/Blog/10 November 2007

I previously commented on the never-ending debate over the role of experts within Wikimedia wiki projects. Veropedia has been added to the likes of Citizendium and says it hopes to make use of experts: "The role of experts and academics will be to check it and, ideally, approve it." Is it impossible for Wikimedia wiki projects to have a constructive relationship with experts? Are we inevitably moving towards a multi-tiered system in which Wikimedia wikis are the wild wikis "where anyone can edit" and other wikis will build upon Wikipedia content in a more controlled editing environment?

Spam and pseudoscience
As an editor of science-related Wikipedia articles, I often notice when spam links to commercial and personal websites are added to articles. Often editors come to Wikipedia to push fringe pseudoscientific ideas and make links back to their personal websites where they try to market their quackery. This past Summer I noticed a situation in which a valid biology article had been hijacked by an interesting team of two POV pushers who were both promoting their personal websites. Eventually one of these POV pushers became involved in an arbitration case. This POV pusher had been adding garbage to Wikipedia for two years and was still defended by some administrators as a valuable contributor.

Using experts
I recently made a comment in IRC #wikibooks that User:Whiteknight picked up on and blogged about. I commented there about the idea that we can think about Wikipedia as a book for which the Wikipedia model for collaborative book writing might be adequate because Wikipedia articles cover a network of topics that readers can explore in many different orders. Wikipedia sells itself as just a starting place for readers who are interested in a topic. The Wikipedia approach might not work for Wikibooks and Wikipedia. Many people view textbooks and curricula as tools to be used for an extended period of time and as a way to learn an extensive and coherent understanding of a subject area. When people are thinking about making that kind of investment of time, they do not want to be told, "this textbook can be wrong, use at your own risk". Really, people want a textbook that has some kind of expertise behind it, some sort of guarantee that they will not be wasting their time if they read it it. This is why I think Wikiversity needs to create new ways to involve and support expert editors (see Review board) and I am also interested in ways to protect mature learning resources from vandalism.

Service provider vs Publisher
A recent new start of Wikipedia:Expert editors at Wikipedia:Expert editors/New draft quickly attracted this comment "Wikipedia, by legal Section 230 definition is an Internet service provider, not a publisher. Your attempt to create an "elite" corps of super-editors will threaten the protections that Section 230 accords, and therefore is not acceptable."

Would any attempt to make use of the expertise of wiki editors convert the Wikimedia Foundation from an internet service provider to a publisher? In a French lawsuit, a judge found that since the Wikimedia Foundation had quickly removed content upon request, the Foundation could not be liable for damages based on a claim of defamation and invasion of privacy arising from comments added to Wikipedia.

Section 230
The Wikipedia article "Online service provider law" lists some legal cases in which various websites were or were not held responsible for online content. I do not understand how section 230 is relevant to the issue of making use of experts to screen wiki content. Wikipedia might face special legal concerns because it includes biographies of living persons. The "Online service provider law" article cites a 2002 case in which it was decided that "a defendant who had notice of a defamatory statement must stop publishing it or face liability". Wikiversity has General disclaimer....I wonder if there should also be a page like Wikipedia:Contact us/Article problem/Factual error (from subject) (gotta love that page name).

Talk:Clinical cases/Case 2

Feedback
EDD confirmed by ultrasound? But per the case story, she presented at 34 weeks. Ultrasound estimation of EDD so late in the pregnancy is rather inaccurate. Poor practice.

Was the initial ultrasound exam transabdominal? Grading of the quiz implies that this is assumed to be the case. A vaginal ultrasound may well spot a large pelvic mass. Such a large pelvic mass should be pretty easy to spot even on transabdominal ultrasound.

It is a bit hard to believe a pelvic mass of this size would be missed during the woman's annual pelvic exam.

Also, this case study seems to presume that the mass is ovarian; there are other possibilities.

 * The ultrasound to confirm dates was an early pregnancy scan, I've changed the text to clarify that. The cyst was actually very big but nonetheless missed on previous scans and examinations. This woman probably didn't have annual pelvic examinations. Indeed there were multiple possibilities, first she was thought to have a fibroid but it turned out on laparotomy to be an ovarian cyst, pathological examination is pending.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Language
Must the material be phrased in medical jargon? Also "presents" means the patient is a new patient. As written, the lead-in gives the idea that this woman has had no prenatal care prior to 39 weeks. The student is promptly confused. --Una Smith 20:33, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Don't know if jargon should be avoided here as this material is directed at medical students or doctors.
 * Changed "presents". --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

1a
1. a) In general, which of the following are possible causes

"Possible" seems too broad. Doesn't the class of possible include obesity? And possibly others? I think what is really intended here is Which of the following have been known sometimes to cause. Also, to make this more useful as a learning exercise (more than a quiz), I recommend linking from each of the conditions to the relevant Wikipedia page. --Una Smith 20:33, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I've removed "possible". Obesity does not cause transverse lie. You can add other options if you know any or want to add more distractors.
 * Wikilinks added. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:08, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

1b
possible cause is most likely to have been overlooked on a recent previous ultrasound scan

Reading this one, my overwhelming thought was it depends on who did the scan. I guessed the answer being sought was "pelvic mass" but I think placenta previa is far more common. By the way, late in pregnancy an ovarian mass will not necessarily be found in the pelvis. Finally, the question does not admit the possibility that the transverse lie is idiopathic. An unstable lie at 39 weeks is unusual but not unheard of and frequently the baby ends up in the ideal position for delivery without help from anyone else. --Una Smith 20:33, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I've added an explanation about who did the scan. The point is that someone who knows obstetric ultrasound specifically looks for placenta previa but might not be so familiar with pelvic cysts. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:10, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A routine scan would include locating the placenta. However, when there is a specific concern such as this, the scan should not be a routine one.  --Una Smith 03:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The concern only arose late in the pregnancy, before that the scans were indeed routine. The final scan by the consultant, when a cyst was suspected, clearly demonstrated it.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

On vaginal examination
At 39 weeks?! I guess this patient in fact did not get any prenatal care prior to 39 weeks. She should have received a thorough vaginal exam during the 1st trimester, around the time of her "dating" US. This case needs to get its story straight. Pelvic masses are rare, and pelvic masses that grow rapidly are rarer still, and these are rarer still in adults. --Una Smith 20:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * A soft cyst is likely to have been missed by earlier VEs. Nevertheless I agree it is quite spectacular that this was discovered so late. The teratoma was probably there all the time but nobody noticed until the transverse lie complicated things. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Size of mass
10 cm is a relatively small pelvic mass, and this one is soft. It should present little risk for a vaginal delivery. However, vaginal delivery presents a risk for the mass: it could rupture. A planned C section is appropriate, but not quite for the reason stated. Also, "cyst" needs to be disambiguated more clearly than it is here; most ovarian cysts are benign, are transient, and do not require surgical removal. --Una Smith 20:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree that it might be small for a pelvic mass, but given the fact that 10 cm is roughly the narrowest part of the birth canal and that the transverse lie probably means that there is a significant obstruction, I don't think vaginal delivery can be risked. Soft on palpation does not mean it would allow passage of the newborn. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * If a soft 10cm pelvic mass can cause transverse lie, then a pound or two of fat in the presacral space can do the same. Conversely, if obesity cannot cause transverse lie (as claimed above), why should this small mass cause it?  To me, this sounds like a case of investigation of one possible problem finding another, unrelated problem.  Correlation does not prove causation. --Una Smith 03:53, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Neither the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties nor UpToDate mention obesity as a factor causing transverse lie, whereas tumors are a known cause. Of course it's impossible to ensure that there is a causal relationship here, but I don't think many obstetricians would risk vaginal delivery in this context. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Case reports involving obstructed labor and subsequent discovery of a maternal tumor typically involve tumors far larger than 10cm. I think the case report has to examine the unknowns, not just the narrow line currently drawn between facts and inferences.  A cynic would say of course an obstetrician would prefer a C-section.  Never forget they are surgeons. --Una Smith 21:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Surgery cures
This case echoes a blind spot in the OB/Gyn literature, shared with many other surgeons: namely, that surgery cures. This case merits consultation with an oncologist familiar with germ cell tumors, and tumor marker blood tests, preferably before the cyst is touched by a surgeon. --Una Smith 20:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Case discussion
The case discussion is fundamentally unsound. Yes, malignant germ cell tumors are much rarer than their "benign" sister, Teratoma. However, if the pelvic mass is a malignant germ cell tumor, then treating it as if it is benign is a serious error. The German germ cell tumor study group (MAKEI) makes two key points: (1) about half of all pediatric germ cell tumors that are malignant are classified at the time of initial surgery as benign (they are found to be malignant when the child has a recurrence), and (2) recurrence of malignant tumors is most highly correlated with surgical technique. The ovarian cancer literature is full of studies about this problem, in girls and women: if an ovarian mass is a malignant tumor then it is very important to remove the tumor completely intact, without spillage, and without fine needle aspiration of any contents for analysis. Blood tumor markers may be used to help decide in advance of surgery whether to simply remove the ovary, without any attempt at dissection of the mass. Many women, if given the choice, choose to have the ovary taken out. Period. Others want to preserve every iota of reproductive potential. Personally, I would rather cut out an ovary than go through chemotherapy. --Una Smith 21:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't exactly see where the discussion contradicts what you say: are you referring to the final sentence? Please clarify or boldly go ahead and change things in the case discussion. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:17, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Introduction to Category Theory/Products and Coproducts

Did you read next lesson 'products are limits' before you wrote alternate definition? You may want to merge it there. By the way nice work... Tlep 21:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I looked at the products are limits section, but it seemed a bit harder than the level I was aiming at; so I decided to go ahead with the putatively easier version here and integrate when I get to that section. The solicitation for comments is supposed to help tell if it makes sense to put anything like that here rather than just later. I think I'll stop fiddling with this section for now so we won't be making uncoordinated and overlapping changes, which already seems to have happened a bit with finite products. AveryAndrews 21:41, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

The very beginning of the products are limits section seems OK in terms of difficulty level - maybe easier than what I wrote due to having more of the details filled in, but I'm not so sure about the organization of the whole thing. In particular, I'm wondering if the material on functors and nat trans shouldn't be pulled out of the next section into one or even two sections of its own. Then there's the problem of how to order that material with the basics of equalizers and limits, etc. One of the problems I find with elementary CT expositions is that there seem to be about five different kinds of 'rudiments' that you have to grasp, without much of any consensus on the best order of presentation, and a general impression left in my learner's mind of a big pile of stuff without much of an idea about what the individual bits are for.

Maybe put the first (on products specifically) section of the next lesson into the hints and details of this lesson, and reorganize the rest? Will have to think about that some more.

AveryAndrews 16:55, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I reorganized 'products are limits'. Nothing formal on natural transformations any more, and limits are only mentioned in a 'preview'. I hope it is easier now. The page name should be changed to something like 'product functors'. Tlep 15:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Hopefully reemerging from jetlag fog again, I think I still think that there should be a more extensive treatment of functors before this section. AveryAndrews 22:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Started in on the next section. One thing that's annoying me is the apparent absence in the sources I've consulted of an elementary and precise definition of exactly what a universal property is supposed to me -- the acounts given seem to be basically ostensive. So maybe there are no such definitions, or I've looked in the wrong places, or failed to recognize one for what it was.

AveryAndrews 05:52, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Read here about essentially algebraic definition of products. This should be added to our book. 84.229.199.77 09:50, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Dead link
Hi,at the end of the "Alternative Definition" section, there is a dead link: http://www.j-paine.org/cgi-bin/webcats/webcats.php. Could you update it, please?

Medical controversies

This learning resource covers medical controversies at all levels including:
 * disputes over scientific evidence for the safety and efficacy of medical practices
 * controversy over political and economic influences on the practice of medicine
 * public perceptions (including vocal minority opinions) of medical controversy, even points of view that are not accepted or considered controversial by the mainstream medical community.

Possible structure
(under construction)

Introduction. Controversy at different levels; within the profession, dealing with other professions (legal, insurance, government regulation), public perceptions.

Controversy within the medical community.

How are controversial issues resolved within medicine?
 * Evidence-based medicine
 * Systematic review
 * other approaches

Are there flaws in the current system for resolving controversies within the medical profession?
 * Can Cochrane Reviews in controversial areas be biased?

Does science shape medical practice or do market forces and legal constraints?
 * biases introduced to medical practice by Pharmaceutical marketing
 * Which provides the best care, free market or Publicly funded medicine?

Public perceptions of medical issues. How does the public perceive controversy that exists within the medical profession? What forces can cause controversy between the medical profession and outside groups even when there is consensus within the medical profession?

Controversy within the medical community
An increasingly important means for resolving controversies within medicine is to rely on Evidence-based medicine and Systematic reviews of evidence. Several high-profile cases have called into question the efficiency of the current evidence-based approach to deciding the value of medical practices. For example, after systematic review of the safety and efficacy of some COX-2 inhibitors it was found that some negative data were not included in the analysis. There may be systematic sources of error that can cause inacuracies in systematic review processes that are used to evaluate medical treatments.

Controversies outside of the medical community
Controversy over medical practice frequently extends beyond the domain of internal debate within the community of medical professionals. Some medical controversies are major social, political and economic issues while others are less well known and primarily of concern to relatively small special interest groups.

Economic and political influences on medical practice
Government regulators have been struggling to balance the need to approve useful medical practices as quickly as possible while avoiding the introduction of treatments with unrecognized or unnecessary side-effects. Some observers of the process have suggested that regulatory decisions are biased by market forces and political influence. Some advocates of Emergency contraception have drawn attention to Susan F. Wood, who left her job as head of the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Women's Health in protest saying that, "scientific and clinical evidence, fully evaluated and recommended for approval by professional staff here, has been overruled." Some birth control advocates have suggested that religion is acting through politicians to control government regulation of medical practices. The question of which medical professionals can refuse to provide medical care for religious reasons is currently being decided by politicians and may ultimately involve the courts.

Other controversies

 * 1. The belief we have a medical monopoly.
 * 2. The belief that HIV doesn't exist, let alone cause AIDS
 * 3. The belief AIDS came from a hepatitis B vaccine experiment, Dr Alan Cantwell MD was the first to promote this.

Cymraeg 1

"Cymraeg 1" is a course in the Welsh Department. In this Beginner's course, students are introduced to simple vocabulary, how to structure a Welsh sentence and some basic phrases for a simple conversation.

Wales (Welsh: Cymru) is one of the six Celtic nations. It is located in Western Europe at the Western peninsula of Great Britain. It has been granted an assembly and a local government in recent years - this is helping to aid the devolution from 'English' government that the Welsh so desperately want. The Welsh language is now taught in many Welsh schools as a first language but is compulsory up to the age of 16 to those in English-medium education. It is spoken by around 22% of the Welsh population and is rising each year due to great effort made by the Welsh assembly.

Ex 1
Write out the Welsh words, section by section.

Have 2 columns, clearly separated, and write Welsh and English. Then cover up one column (eg. English) with paper and write the corresponding words on the paper. Then try it the other way round, cover up the Welsh, and write out the words using the English as cues. This will be a little bit more difficult.

Repeat all this after an interval, the more you do it the easier you will remember the words.

Now move on to Lesson 2

If you want to add words to this page, please make sure you put them into a sentence in Lesson 2 wherever you can.

Learning Techniques

{| cellpadding="10" cellspacing="5" style="width: 99%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto"
 * style="background-color: Cornsilk; border: 1px solid #777777; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" colspan="2" |

Learning techniques
I have decided to make a Learning techniques section, this is to help you to learn quicker and easier. Firstly you need to know about your brain There are 3 different types of Memory

 * Visual : When you remember by being shown how do it.(Reading)

 * Kinetic : When you remember by doing it.(Speaking/Writing)

 * Auditory : When you remember by being told how to.(Listening)

I am a Kinetic/Visual (Many people have mixes between 2 or even 3, but usually there is a dominant (For me : Kinetic)) and the techniques i use , and will show you , are how i learn my languages , which are going to be best suited to a visual or kinetic person. Hopefully in time, more people will add to this page , allowing more diversity of memory techniques. This one, is what i use almost everyday.
 * A) Take an A4 paper
 * B) Write along an edge words (however many you feel comfortable with) in whatever you are learning(Im using Cornish in this example).
 * C) Close the book you working from, and write the English beside them , in a clearly separate column

NOT LIKE THIS

Mamm Mum Tas Dad Hwoer Sister Broder Brother

THIS WILL MAKE IT HARD LATER ON

 * D)Cover up the Language you're learning, so you can now only see the English.
 * E) Translate back into Cornish from memory.
 * F) Now cover up the Cornish and re write it in English
 * G) Carry on this process until you get the whole page filled EXCEPT space for a few more columns.

 * H) Now, go and do something else. Go to bed , Go Work , Go cook tea , make your brain concentate on something else.
 * I) Now, when youve finished , write the remaining few columns out , this is to put the final bit into your brain.

 * E) Test if it worked, go and do something else again , i move onto another set of vocab and repeat the process with that.And after ive finished that....
 * F) Now go and write out 4 columns in the same technique, if you can do it almost without effort , this has suceeded , come back to this vocab every few days for a while to make sure it stays in your brain. When youre confident you can recall each word almost without effort , then leave it , if you wish you can come back to it and re - do the test every mounth or so , just so it doesnt go unused.

I hope this has helped those out there. If you want to add to the list, or a variation of another , just click edit at the top and write down your idea. I look forward to seeing some more.
