Neurological, Psychiatric, and Developmental Disorders
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309170931
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
Brain disordersâ€"neurological, psychiatric, and developmentalâ€"now affect at least 250 million people in the developing world, and this number is expected to rise as life expectancy increases. Yet public and private health systems in developing countries have paid relatively little attention to brain disorders. The negative attitudes, prejudice, and stigma that often surround many of these disorders have contributed to this neglect. Lacking proper diagnosis and treatment, millions of individual lives are lost to disability and death. Such conditions exact both personal and economic costs on families, communities, and nations. The report describes the causes and risk factors associated with brain disorders. It focuses on six representative brain disorders that are prevalent in developing countries: developmental disabilities, epilepsy, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and stroke. The report makes detailed recommendations of ways to reduce the toll exacted by these six disorders. In broader strokes, the report also proposes six major strategies toward reducing the overall burden of brain disorders in the developing world.

Exploring Technology-Infused Education in the Post-Pandemic Era
Author: Tomei, Lawrence A.
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 625
Book Description
In the aftermath of the 2020-2022 pandemic, educators find themselves grappling with the decision to revert to traditional instructional methods or embrace the transformative power of 21st-century technologies. The swift integration of virtual classrooms, videoconferencing, and social media during the pandemic has left teachers navigating uncharted territory. Many, who once vehemently resisted technology, now stand on the precipice of a digital revolution in education. This dichotomy poses a pressing problem: a dearth of documented research and guidance for educators seeking to measure the true value of these technologies in the post-pandemic era. Exploring Technology-Infused Education in the Post-Pandemic Era, offers guidance and solutions to the challenges faced by educators. As teachers stand on the brink of a pivotal decision, the research community lags behind in providing the necessary insights to inform their choices. The questions loom large: What technologies emerged during the pandemic, and have they proven effective in the classroom? Can these innovations seamlessly coexist with traditional instructional methods? The void in documented research leaves educators in a quandary, lacking the evidence needed to make informed decisions about the integration of technology into their teaching practices. This critical gap impedes progress and hinders the unleashing of the full potential of 21st-century educational tools.
