Arthur McCoy contracted HIV/AIDS in 1987 and lived a destitute life on the streets of Chicago before receiving help from the Salvation Army. He later moved to Las Vegas where he volunteered with Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN) as a peer educator, sharing his story of survival with at-risk groups. McCoy now works full-time at AFAN managing the food pantry and as a spokesperson, helping others who come to AFAN seeking hope. The 16th annual AIDS Walk Las Vegas on April 23rd will help raise proceeds for AFAN to support nearly 1,500 people living with HIV/AIDS in Nevada.
Delivering on promises: NDIS and people with intellectual disabilities Bigby ...Christine Bigby
The document discusses challenges and promises of the NDIS for people with intellectual disabilities. Some key points:
- The NDIS promises choice and control, but people with intellectual disabilities have difficulty making decisions independently and exercising choice without support.
- Specific challenges include lack of advocacy, difficulty navigating the system, complexity of support needs, and reliance on others.
- Research shows the importance of supported decision-making and enabling people to participate in their communities through skilled support staff.
- Broader issues include the need for evidence-informed purchasing to avoid low quality or segregated services, and pressure on mainstream services to be more inclusive.

This document summarizes a research project on self-advocacy and social inclusion led by Professors Christine Bigby and Patsie Frawley. The project examined the history and experiences of self-advocacy groups in the UK and Australia through collaborative work with a history group of 27 participants and a PhD study of 6 self-advocacy groups. Key findings included that self-advocacy groups provide opportunities for friendship, confidence, engagement and having a voice that support individual social inclusion. They also demonstrate participation by people with intellectual disabilities and influence social policy to promote inclusion. Factors that support self-advocacy include strong relationships, commitment from members, and flexible funding, while risks include lack of

The document discusses the history and evolution of a language over time. Certain sounds and word structures were lost or changed as the language was influenced by other languages and evolved across generations of speakers. However, the core roots and foundational structures remained intact despite the changes to sounds and words. Overall, the passage examines how a language naturally transforms in small ways over a long period of time through the normal processes of language change and borrowing from other tongues.

Professor Christine Bigby and colleagues synthesized findings from several studies over 5 years examining supports for social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. They found that despite policies since 1986, social inclusion has largely failed with most people occupying distinct social spaces and experiencing ongoing exclusion. Multiple factors contribute including ambivalence among support services, tensions in community groups, and a lack of skills in supporting meaningful inclusion. The studies indicate inclusion requires a multifaceted approach including direct support hours, indirect support to build community connections, and practice leadership to focus efforts and shift planning to optimize support for social inclusion.

RLL1, Tricia Bingham and Stephanie Reid ."But we're Librarians not Researchers"Tricia Bingham
Slides from a discussion based workshop on developing a research culture in the Library and Information sector which was presented at RLL1 on the 27th May in Auckland New Zealand. The powerpoint includes feedback from participants.
1. Focus groups can be used in various sectors like marketing, public relations, health services, and social science research to generate insights into attitudes, behaviors, and decision-making processes.
2. Proper research design and planning is required when conducting focus groups. This involves considering the facilitator, setting, participant size and composition, recruitment methods, topic guide, and addressing any ethical issues.
3. Focus groups are best for exploring perspectives and meanings that people ascribe to ideas and experiences. They provide insights into how views are formed and modified in a group context.
This document outlines the goals and agenda for a seminar on pushing the boundaries of participatory research with people with learning disabilities. The seminar aims to explore expanding participatory research to include participatory data analysis and involvement of people with high support needs. Speakers will share experiences in different types of participatory research and participants will discuss what has been achieved, challenges, and potential limits and ways to expand participation. The seminar philosophy emphasizes equal participation, valuing all experiences and opinions, and commitment to accessibility and improvement.
Originally posted on the ILRI slideshare (http://www.slideshare.net/ILRI/presentations), this is a presentation I gave for the ILRI series of information/communication training workshops 'Komms Klinics' on the topic of 'engagement with stakeholders in research'. It is based on my ILRI work and other personal insights.
The authors created a professional reading group to develop their own information literacy skills and improve their practice. The group allows members to reflect on current practice and be exposed to new ideas through selecting and discussing articles. While it did not always go as planned, the reading group enables greater engagement with research literature, encourages empathy, and provides a low-cost but effective development opportunity for the team. Even after two years, most members continue to lead and participate in the group to further their skills and knowledge.
This document provides guidance on developing a research design. It discusses the importance of clearly defining concepts and operationalizing variables. Different common research methods like surveys, experiments, content analysis, interviews, and case studies are outlined. The document stresses the importance of practical considerations like sampling, data collection and organization. It encourages researchers to think through their research process in detail to develop a coherent design that can effectively answer their research questions.
Research in practice: how to survive and thriveMS Trust
This presentation by Nicki Ward and Jenny Freeman is aimed at novice researchers and based around a real-life case scenario in which many lessons were learnt. It also signposts to practical resources along the way.
The document describes a slow research approach taken with a group of teachers from five primary schools. Over the course of a year, the teachers participated in study days to develop basic research skills like forming research questions, data collection and analysis. This included time for open-ended discussion and exploration of ideas. The research served as a way to systematically reflect on various project-based learning initiatives in the schools. Two examples are described of how teachers used simple narratives and research diaries to capture insights from their work. Overall, the teachers found the process transformative and valued having time and space to discuss, grow ideas and feel a sense of professionalism.
Definition: Focus group discussions (FGDs) are facilitated discussions, held with a small group of people who have specialist knowledge or interest in a particular topic.

COMM5600 Interviews & Focus groups TO SHARE (1).pptRashiRashi21
The document provides an overview of how interviews and focus groups can be used as research methods in media and communications research. It discusses how they can provide personal accounts and interpretations, understand beliefs and behaviors in context, and generate frameworks for further research. It notes the types of interviews, issues of power dynamics and identity, and practical considerations for conducting interviews and focus groups such as developing an interview guide, sampling, logistics, ethics, and analyzing the data.
This is a preliminary course in Research that tackles how to start a research project by defining and understanding the 5 W's of research according to Creswel.
This document discusses the development of somatic experiencing (SE) as an evidence-based treatment through research. It outlines the goals of presenting on this topic, including providing an overview of how SE has developed empirical evidence over time. It reviews accomplishments in SE research so far through the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Research Coalition (SERC) and its collaborations. It also discusses the challenges of building research capacity and infrastructure, and looks ahead to the next phase of growing SERC's structure and mentorship programs to further the research pipeline for validating SE. Key questions are raised about the roles and development of SERC and the Somatic Experiencing Training Institute in collectively supporting future SE research.
This document provides guidance on developing a research proposal. It discusses that a research proposal helps plan, guide, and argue the case for a research project. It encourages choosing a topic area of interest and developing 3-4 research questions. It emphasizes developing a clear research question that organizes and focuses the project. The document also provides a template for mapping out a research project, including orienting decisions around aims, audience, and constraints, the research design and methodology, data analysis, and presenting results. Students are tasked with using this guidance to develop their own research proposal, focusing on refining their research area and drafting research questions.
This document provides guidance for conducting research in the workplace. It discusses the benefits of workplace research, such as gaining insider knowledge and access. However, it also notes challenges like finding time and maintaining objectivity.
The document then outlines a 7-step process for creating a research plan: 1) Identify a problem area, 2) Determine desired outcomes, 3) Formulate research questions, 4) Use a checklist to refine the questions, 5) Choose methods, 6) Develop a timeline, 7) Get required approvals. Specific skills needed for workplace research are also examined, like time management, communication, and negotiating support.
This document provides an overview of developing facilitation skills. It discusses:
1) What facilitation skills are and why they are important for guiding meetings and discussions. Facilitators help groups meet their goals and move effectively through agendas.
2) Some keys aspects of being a good facilitator including focusing on the process, not opinions, and ensuring all participants can contribute. Facilitators must also deal with potential disrupters.
3) Tips for planning and facilitating effective meetings, such as establishing ground rules, encouraging participation, and summarizing discussions. The document outlines steps a facilitator should take during a meeting.
This document provides guidance on the key elements that must be included in any academic paper. It identifies five essential components: topic, audience, purpose, thesis statement, and support. For each component, it asks questions for writers to consider as they plan their paper. It emphasizes the importance of thoroughly analyzing these five elements during the planning process to facilitate a smooth writing experience. Finally, it introduces various pre-writing strategies that can help a writer effectively organize their ideas before beginning to draft the paper. These include clustering, mind mapping, freewriting, listing, and using journalistic questions.

Supporting inclusion Bigby & Wiesel workshop WA ASID Oct 2015Christine Bigby
‘Supporting Inclusion' was developed from research that investigated Encounters between people with intellectual disability and ordinary community members. The program is based on the principles of person centred active support, and is focused primarily on how this framework can be applied not just within supported accommodation services, but also out in the community. The online learning program has been developed to create a space where disability support workers can think about what social inclusion means for people with intellectual disability, and learn or refresh some useful tools and strategies to support people with intellectual disability in ways that will promote their social inclusion. These slides support a workshop based on the free on line learning program.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
Empowerment through research nov 2009 afdo conference reinforce history group and la trobe university
1. Empowerment through research:
how to get a research program you
are interested in up and running
Presented by: Patsie Frawley and the Reinforce
Self Advocacy Group AFDO conference 2009
Researchers: Reinforce Self Advocacy group, Paul
Ramcharan, Chris Bigby & Patsie Frawley
2. Background
• Reinforce self advocacy group have been involved in
self advocacy in Victoria since 1980.
• Our story of self advocacy runs alongside the story of
intellectual disability and can tell us about the
importance of having a self advocacy movement.
• In late 2007 Reinforce members talked to some
researchers they knew about wanting to document the
history of their group to find out more about what self
advocacy is and has been and how it can continue into
the future.
• The researchers agreed to work with the group to do
this research and to get funding so the Reinforce
members and the University researchers could work
together on this project
3. When you have a research idea you
could do what we did......
• Talk about it for a long time but not get anywhere with
it
• Then talk about it some more but with people who can
help you do it
• Keep talking about it at meetings and decide what you
want to get out of it
• Make a decision to do it with researchers who can
make sure it is done in a way that will get heard
4. Working out what to do
• Our idea was to do the history of
Reinforce
• The researchers’ had some other
ideas too – like using the history of
Reinforce to understand more about
self advocacy and inclusion
• We wanted a reunion
• The researchers thought that was a
good idea but wanted to use the
reunion to find out who needed to be
interviewed in the research
• We agreed to get started this way and
see what happened
• The reunion was a great success & it
helped us work out what else we
could do in the research
5. Working together
• We have been meeting for two years
– this is a lot of time for the
researchers and Reinforce to put into
the project planning
• We needed money to do the
research - Chris and Paul wrote the
big research application to the
Australian Research Council – we did
not understand everything in this but
we trusted the researchers
• The research plan said we would do
the research together and we are
6. What you do when you are doing
research
• Meetings, talking, planning, sharing ideas about what needs
to happen and how to do it
• Interviewing people – we have decided to interview self
advocates and people who have supported self advocacy
• Talking about what people said in the interviews – this is
called ‘analysis’.
• Looking at our files – Chris, Paul and Patsie are doing this –
they will write some ideas from what they have found and we
will talk about it
7. What our research is going to do for us
• Help us learn more about the role
Reinforce has had in self advocacy in
Australia
• Given us the opportunity to work as
researchers on something we wanted to
find out more about
• Given us the opportunity to ‘become
researchers’
• Develop a strong partnership with
University researchers
• Write papers and do presentations about
what we have found so that lots of other
people can learn more about self
advocacy
8. What we have liked and what we have
found hard
It has been hard because
• Working out who to interview and
how to do everything we want to do
• Keeping everyone up to date with
where we are going with the
research – over a long time
• Finding regular times to meet and
getting commitment from a core
group
We have liked
• Seeing people at the reunion
• Working on a project together –
researchers and self advocates
9. Tips for getting involved in
research
• Self advocates with research ideas should
talk to researchers from Universities who
can help put the ideas down, help get
research money and work with you to do
the research
• Talk about your ideas for research with each
other and with researchers
• It is hard work and takes awhile to get there
but worth it– just stick with it
• It is good because when you do work as
research you get to tell lots of people what
you found out and it gets written about so
people can learn from it
