This study assessed the mental health care needs of deaf people in Ghana. A descriptive design, consisting of interviews and focus group discussions, was used to collect data from 97 participants. Findings indicated that participants had limited knowledge on mental health issues. Mental health stigma, inaccessible mental health information and exclusion from mental health programmes were the major barriers hindering access to mental health care services. This study bridges the knowledge gap and provides evidence for the implementation of deaf-friendly services.展开更多
提高慕课的普惠性和包容性是慕课建设发展中的重要课题,也是确保残障人士平等享有学习权利的重要保障。文章基于国际研究视角采用系统性文献综述法,选取Web of Science、Scopus和ERIC数据库中2017—2022年的17篇相关实证研究论文进行统...提高慕课的普惠性和包容性是慕课建设发展中的重要课题,也是确保残障人士平等享有学习权利的重要保障。文章基于国际研究视角采用系统性文献综述法,选取Web of Science、Scopus和ERIC数据库中2017—2022年的17篇相关实证研究论文进行统计分析。研究发现:无障碍慕课在平台设计、技术支持和对学习者特定类型的适应方面存在困难,主要是缺乏相关政策法规的支持、辅助技术工具的配套以及对残障用户需求的深入了解;国际上目前针对无障碍慕课评估的指南和标准主要依据Web内容无障碍指南(WCAG)、创作工具辅助功能指南(ATAG)、用户代理辅助功能指南(UAAG)以及ISO系列规范,需要加快推动评估指南、标准的修订和完善;无障碍慕课开发设计的核心要求是基于通用性和包容性原则,以残障用户为中心,提供多样化的资源和选择,以满足不同残障用户的需求和偏好。最后,文章探讨了推动我国无障碍慕课建设与发展的启示。展开更多

In Russia, there are two ways to access the forests: by air and by ground means. The first way is quite expensive for any country. The second one is less expensive but has the spatial planning challenges to create access routes by existing public roads and forest glades. Regional authorities and firefighting departments are paying attention to the access by ground means, but there is a certain room to improve their management and cooperation methods on a limited budget. These tasks could be solved by GIS-technologies in a more operational manner to automate the routes’ construction especially during the fire season. We used combined geoinformation technology (developed previously) and satellite product, namely vegetation map from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) to estimate how accessible any forest area is when moving by public roads and forest glades from a fire station as a starting point. These stations are the main centers to fight the forest fires within the territory of ground protection zones in Russia and we have considered them as the logistic centers to manage the forest resources also. Transport model was created in two variants: no-barriers and barriers-based (forestries). By using these two models we have shown two different scenarios of action. The key area was Novosibirsk Region located in the Siberian Federal District, Russia. We have created a series of maps to show the transport accessibility of forest areas from the fire stations. Estimation of “located” pixels or forest areas accessible from the fire stations for the key area is about 66% - 83%;the most accessible forest type is mixed forests. The number of inaccessible pixels has been increased by more than two times in barriers scenario. Technology can be used for different thematic data sources and domains like ecology or economy.展开更多
