Essential as a textbook for graduate and upper-level undergraduate studies and as a reference resource, this unique book presents up-to-date research and compelling case studies that illustrate how prenatal exposure to drugs, alcohol, and HIV can affect a child in utero and continue to handicap its development after birth. Each chapter includes discussion threads and review questions to promote critical thinking and clinical problem-solving skills in the classroom.HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children looks at the negative impact a mother&’s lifestyle practices can have on her developing child with a nod toward the significant prevalence of HIV and substance abuse in today&’s society. Some estimates place the number of infants born after prenatal exposure to illicit drugs as three-quarters of a million-every year. When alcohol is added, the figure rises to more than 1 million. This powerful book focuses specifically on the serious consequences of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and crack cocaine abuse, including poor language development and speech delays, limited vocabulary, the inability to make their needs known, poor articulation, the inability to follow commands, limited expressive language skills, and the inability to understand the real meaning of words and generalize them. And of the nearly 5,000 children in the United States living with AIDS, almost all will struggle with speech production and communication disorders as the disease affects their brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system. HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children examines: the effect of drugs on the brain pregnancy and drug use trends common drugs of abuse Kosakoff&’s syndrome fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) among Native Americans and African Americans neurologic sequellae speech and language intervention rehabilitation considerations treatment and family counseling and much moreHIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children is essential for graduate and undergraduate students working with language disorders in special populations.

Habitus, Herkunft und Positionierung

Hablan los chinos. Historias reales para entender a la futura potencia del mundo: Historias Reales Para Entender A La Futura Potencia Del Mundo
by Ana FuentesUna obra coral resultado de una magnífica labor periodística que desentraña los misterios de un país desconocido aún hoy para Occidente. Un disidente torturado por la policía, un joven millonario nacionalista, un emigrante que cruza el país en busca de trabajo, un viejo maestro de kung-fu que ha dejado de entrenar por la contaminación, una campesina que se prostituye para pagar la educación de su hijo... ¿Quiénes son los chinos? La periodista Ana Fuentes, que ha sido corresponsal de la Cadena SER en Pekín, recoge en Hablan los chinos el testimonio en primera persona de ciudadanos que han decidido romper su silencio y hablar de la realidad de su país -su relación con la familia, con el poder, con el resto del mundo-. Historias reales de individuos de distinto nivel cultural y poder adquisitivo que impactan por lo insólito, que emocionan y que ponen fin a muchos clichés. Una obra coral resultado de una magnífica labor periodística que desentraña los misterios de un país desconocido aún hoy para Occidente. China ha crecido vertiginosamente en los últimos años hasta convertirse en la segunda economía mundial. En 2008 fue sede de los Juegos Olímpicos, su puesta de largo ante la comunidad internacional entre censura, represión de los activistas y unos niveles de corrupción desorbitados. Una China tan nueva como milenaria que trata de superar los traumas del colonialismo extranjero, las hambrunas del Gran salto hacia delante y las atrocidades de la Revolución Cultural. «Ganarme su confianza no fue fácil: algunos nunca habían dirigido la palabra antes a un extranjero. Tras meses intensos de charlas, paseos y alguna persecución policial acabaron hablándome abiertamente de sus metas y de sus frustraciones. Éste es el resultado». Ana Fuentes
Hablar de todo y no saber de nada: Las tertulias y la nueva política
by Joan LópezEl papel de la tertulia española en el mundo mediático y político: ¿fuente de información o intoxicación mediática? Las tertulias fueron en el pasado un género minoritario creado con la voluntad de ofrecer información complementaria acerca de los temas de actualidad. Sin embargo, el feroz mundo mediático del siglo XXI ha obligado a las tertulias a cambiar de formato hasta convertirlas en un espectáculo que se emite en horas de máxima audiencia. Al conquistar la parrilla televisiva, las tertulias han derivado en puro entretenimiento dónde la opinión y la confrontación ideológica parecen ser los ingredientes del éxito. ¿Quién determina la línea editorial de los programas?¿La tertulia es fuente de información o es intoxicación mediática?¿Existe el tertuliano libre?¿Cómo se llega a ser tertuliano?¿Cómo se preparan las tertulias?¿Qué pasa en las cadenas de televisión pública? En este fascinante ensayo, Joan López analiza el papel de la tertulia en nuestro país mediante una serie de capítulos divulgativos y polémicos que ponen en entredicho su contribución efectiva al debate público ya que parecen regirse más por el sesgo ideológico que marcan sus respectivas cadenas que por una voluntad honesta de análisis de la actualidad política y social.
Hack Attack: How the truth caught up with Rupert Murdoch
by Nick Davies**A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SOON TO BE A MAJOR ITV DRAMA, THE HACK**The unbelievable inside story of the Phone Hacking scandal, told by the man who exposed it. At first, it seemed like a small story. The royal correspondent of the News of the World was caught listening in on Buckingham Palace voicemails. He was quietly sent to prison and the case was closed. But Nick Davies felt sure there was a lot more going on. And he was right.Davies and a network of rebel lawyers, MPs and celebrities took on Rupert Murdoch, one of the most powerful men in the world, and in bringing him down they uncovered a world of crime and cover-up reaching from the newsroom to Scotland Yard and to Downing Street.This is the story of a network of corruption rooted deep within our society, and how it was dragged into the light.CONTAINS NEW MATERIAL BRINGING THE STORY UP TO THE PRESENT DAY'A colossal service to Britain's democracy' Financial Times'As exciting as a thriller but far more important' Daily Telegraph'A masterly summary of the hacking affair, as well as the ingenuity and persistence that lead to great journalism' Observer
Hack Attack: The Inside Story of How the Truth Caught Up with Rupert Murdoch

Hacker States (The Information Society Series)
by Adam Fish Luca FollisHow hackers and hacking moved from being a target of the state to a key resource for the expression and deployment of state power.In this book, Luca Follis and Adam Fish examine the entanglements between hackers and the state, showing how hackers and hacking moved from being a target of state law enforcement to a key resource for the expression and deployment of state power. Follis and Fish trace government efforts to control the power of the internet; the prosecution of hackers and leakers (including such well-known cases as Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and Anonymous); and the eventual rehabilitation of hackers who undertake “ethical hacking” for the state. Analyzing the evolution of the state's relationship to hacking, they argue that state-sponsored hacking ultimately corrodes the rule of law and offers unchecked advantage to those in power, clearing the way for more authoritarian rule. Follis and Fish draw on a range of methodologies and disciplines, including ethnographic and digital archive methods from fields as diverse as anthropology, STS, and criminology. They propose a novel “boundary work” theoretical framework to articulate the relational approach to understanding state and hacker interactions advanced by the book. In the context of Russian bot armies, the rise of fake news, and algorithmic opacity, they describe the political impact of leaks and hacks, hacker partnerships with journalists in pursuit of transparency and accountability, the increasingly prominent use of extradition in hacking-related cases, and the privatization of hackers for hire.
