Download or read book Social Innovation Entrepreneurship and Sport for Development and Peace written by Mitchell McSweeney and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ways in which sport for development and peace (SDP) offers an opportunity for entrepreneurship to take place through and within sport, and how innovation in the context of SDP contributes to social and economic value for underrepresented and marginalised groups and individuals. Written by a team of leading international SDP researchers, and featuring the voices of active SDP practitioners, the book examines the ways in which entrepreneurs seek to use sport and/or social innovation in and through sport to achieve their goals of social and economic development. It explores the strategies that SDP organizations and practitioners are utilizing in the current neoliberal moment to not only survive during economic hardship - particularly during the COVID 19 crisis - but also to thrive, drawing on important concepts such as innovation, risk taking, proactiveness and opportunity seeking. It also considers how nongovernmental organizations, companies, governments, and communities are working to tackle development issues in SDP using non-traditional forms of organization and management, such as social enterprise models. Combining cutting-edge research with reflections on best practice in the field, this book is important reading for any advanced student, researcher or practitioner with an interest in the sociology of sport, sport for development, sport management, development studies, social enterprise or innovation.

The year 2022 is the year when people begin to rise from the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic that occurred for approximately 2 years before this. During the pandemic there was a lot of weakening of activities in various sectors. The weakening led to the community's economy. The sports sector is also feeling the impact. Where all sports activities encounter obstacles such as sports competition activities, sports training, sports education and sports health services to the community. These obstacles have an impact on the economic decline of sports players. However, in 2022, all sporting activities are slowly restarting but still with due observance of health and safety protocols.

Download or read book Sport Involvement for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Intellectual Disabilities written by Stephanie Ryan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is known about sport participation in youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The current research is the first to systematically examine correlates and outcomes associated with sport involvement in youth with ASD and used two interrelated studies to address several gaps in the literature. Study 1 examined characteristics of sport involvement (frequency, diversity, positive social experiences [PSE]) for youth with intellectual disability (ID) alone compared to youth with ASD+ID and explored the personal and contextual correlates of involvement. Parents (N = 409) of youth involved in Special Olympics (SO) completed an online survey. Although youth with ASD+ID did not differ from youth with ID alone in their frequency or diversity of sport participation, youth with ID alone had higher scores for PSE compared to youth with ASD+ID. Sociocommunicative abilities, coach relationship and resources mediated the relationship between ASD status and PSE. Study 2 built on the first study by examining how sport involvement was related to psychosocial difficulties and strengths in youth with ASD+ID and ID alone. First, characteristics of sport involvement were examined as correlates of psychosocial difficulties over one year in youth with ASD+ID and ID alone in SO (N = 115). Second, a sample of youth with ASD+ID who did not participate in sport (N = 58) was compared to the athletes on psychosocial strengths and difficulties. In youth with ASD+ID, but not youth with ID alone, more frequent and social sport involvement was related to improved hyperactivity and peer problems, while more diverse sport participation was associated with greater emotional and hyperactivity problems. Youth with ID also had lower psychosocial difficulties and greater psychosocial strengths than youth with ASD+ID in sport, and youth with ASD+ID who were not involved with sport had greater difficulties than those who were involved. These findings from the present studies are the first to highlight the discrepancy in sport participation and outcomes for youth with ASD+ID compared to their peers in sport. A better understanding of the factors related to sport is essential for helping teams, families, and communities foster more positive and healthy sport engagement for youth with ASD+ID.

Download or read book Autism Spectrum Disorders in Adults written by Bernardo Barahona Corrêa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book a group of international experts guide the reader through the clinical features of adults with autism spectrum disorders, describe the care needs of patients and their families, explain the evolution of the disorders into old age, and highlight what can be done to help. Detailed attention is paid to the medical and psychiatric problems of adults with these disorders and the approach to their education and professional integration. In addition, expert neuroscientists summarize current views on the neurobiology of autism. Autism spectrum disorders are devastating neurodevelopmental disorders. Although diagnosis and therapeutic interventions usually take place in infancy, they are chronic lifelong conditions. Surprisingly, the literature on autism spectrum disorders in adults is scarce. Moreover, most mental health professionals working with adults have little training in autism, and adult mental health services around the world are rarely prepared to address the needs of these patients, which tend to increase with age. This book therefore fills a crucial gap in the literature and will prove useful for all who care for and deal with adults in the Autistic Spectrum.

Download or read book Contemporary Publishing and the Culture of Books written by Alison Baverstock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Publishing and the Culture of Books is a comprehensive resource that builds bridges between the traditional focus and methodologies of literary studies and the actualities of modern and contemporary literature, including the realities of professional writing, the conventions and practicalities of the publishing world, and its connections between literary publishing and other media. Focusing on the relationship between modern literature and the publishing industry, the volume enables students and academics to extend the text-based framework of modules on contemporary writing into detailed expositions of the culture and industry which bring these texts into existence; it brings economic considerations into line alongside creative issues, and examines how employing marketing strategies are utilized to promote and sell books. Sections cover: The standard university-course specifications of contemporary writing, offering an extensive picture of the social, economic, and cultural contexts of these literary genres The impact and status of non-literary writing, and how this compares with certain literary genres as an index to contemporary culture and a reflection of the state of the publishing industry The practicalities and conventions of the publishing industry Contextual aspects of literary culture and the book industry, visiting the broader spheres of publishing, promotion, bookselling, and literary culture Carefully linked chapters allow readers to tie key elements of the publishing industry to the particular demands and features of contemporary literary genres and writing, offering a detailed guide to the ways in which the three core areas of culture, economics, and pragmatics intersect in the world of publishing. Further to being a valuable resource for those studying English or Creative Writing, the volume is a key text for degrees in which Publishing is a component, and is relevant to those aspects of Media Studies that look at interactions between the media and literature/publishing.

Download or read book The Mechanics of Passion written by Alain Ehrenberg and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive neuroscience, once a specialized area of psychology and biology, has enjoyed increased worldwide legitimacy in the last thirty years not only in psychiatry and mental health, but also in fields as diverse as education, economics, marketing, and law. How can this surge in popularity be explained? Has the new science of human behaviour now become the barometer of our conduct and our lives, taking the place previously occupied by psychoanalysis? Rather than asking if neuronal man will replace social man or how to surmount the opposition between the biological and the social, The Mechanics of Passions uncovers hidden relationships between global social ideals and specialized concepts of neuroscience and cognitive science. Proposing a historical sociology situated in the dual contexts of the history of sciences and the history of self-representation, Alain Ehrenberg describes the conditions through which cognitive neuroscience has developed and acquired a strong moral authority in our individualistic society permeated by ideas, values, and norms of autonomy. Cognitive neuroscience offers the promise of turning personal limitations into assets by exploring an individual's "hidden potential." The Mechanics of Passions identifies this as the echo of social ideals of autonomy, affirming that the moral authority of cognitive neuroscience stems as much from cultural norms as from any results of scientific or medical experimentation.
