Social Information Processing in Young People With Mild Level of Intellectual Development Disorder or Borderline Intellectual Functioning: Relationship With Real-World Expression of Executive Function Problems
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the three main executive functions (i.e., inhibition, working memory, and flexibility) and three steps of social information processing model (SIP; Crick & Dodge, 1994). Participants were 42 young people (13 years old 5 months, SD = 28 months) with mild level of intellectual development disorder (MIDD) or borderline intellectual functioning (BIF). The youths' relatives completed a questionnaire on the behavioral expression of executive functions (BRIEF), and each participant watched a video of an ecological social situation, then answered questions relating to the SIP model. The results offer interesting insights into the link between encoding and inhibition, and the influence of the type of intention attribution on inhibition and working memory.

Intellectual capital and sustainable development: a systematic literature review
PurposeThis paper investigates the literary corpus on the role of intellectual capital (IC) for the sustainable and innovative development of organisations. It provides a quantitative overview of the academic literature that constitutes this field. The paper discusses whether IC, through the implementation of knowledge management (KM) processes, can influence the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) towards the creation of sustainable business models (SBMs), which are outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 agenda and adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015.Design/methodology/approachBased on a database containing 45 publications in the English language with a publication date from 1990 to 2019 (October), a bibliometric analysis was conducted. Data on publications, journals, authors and citations were collected, re-checked and examined by applying bibliometric measures.FindingsThe bibliographic analysis identified that the research published on IC in the perspective of sustainability focusses mainly on the measurement of results, in terms of increased business performance. The results show that the IC is linked to the concept of long-term value. Therefore, the development potential of the IC is linked to the 2030 agenda for sustainable development (SD). These results also provide a framework for the literature on IC and SDGs by highlighting the connection with the EO to develop SBMs.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature on IC as a driver for SD. In more detail, it provides a systematic review of the literature on these topics under the umbrella of the SDG perspective.

Reflexive monitoring of parameters of the development of logical operations as the basis for the individualization of learning
The prerequisite for the present study is the lack of instruments ensuring timely identification and development of school students’ giftedness in natural science disciplines in the arsenal of a modern teacher. A system of creative tasks integrated into the process of studying chemistry and biology can largely contribute to the development of subject-related knowledge and creative thinking. However, the integration of creative tasks in the educational process should be preceded by purposeful formation and monitoring of the development of a set of reproductive intellectual skills. The main goal of the study is to develop a method for the identification and development of students’ abilities including giftedness in chemistry and biology, as well as to study the opportunities for creating individual learning trajectories in natural science disciplines. The study is based on the hypothesis that the development of an individual trajectory in studying chemistry and biology will contribute to the development of individuality and the creative abilities of students. The main method used in the study is determining the speed of completion of logical operations in the process of solving cognitive tasks. Assessment of the speed of completion of logical operations allows determining, among other things, the ability for mastering natural science disciplines and a child’s giftedness in this educational sphere. A system of tasks and exercises in chemistry and biology providing for the study of the speed of development of reproductive and creative thinking and allowing real-time monitoring of the effectiveness of the educational process for its timely correction is developed for the first time. The results of the study of the speed of completion of logical operations by a student in the process of solving cognitive tasks presented graphically form the basis for the development of an individual program of development of intellectual and creative abilities of a child.

Securing our natural wealth : a policy agenda for sustainable development in India and its neighboring countries
\"This book explores various aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) regimes with regard to plant-variety protection and farmers' rights; traditional knowledge; geographical indications, genetically modified crops; and access to genetic resources within the broad ambit of Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), the Convention of Biological Diversity and other treaties/protocols. Enumerating the governance provisions for India and some of its neighboring countries, including Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Thailand and Myanmar, the book synthesizes a policy agenda to drive sustainable development. Further, it assesses and interprets the status quo, and discusses key issues and implications. By comparing various governance frameworks in South Asian countries, it attempts to bridge policy issues concerning development, IPR and international studies\"--Publisher's description.

Intellectual Disabilities and Personality Disorder
Individuals with intellectual disabilities and personality disorders can be very complex to support and few LD trained staff have the skills to address their needs. Many approaches traditionally developed and used with individuals with personality disorder are too complex to use with people with learning disabilities without skilled adaptation. This handbook bridges this gap in resources and gives staff a framework for understanding and addressing the problems that arise when an individual has both intellectual disabilities and a personality disorder. The handbook introduces personality disorders, their epidemiology and how to recognise them. It examines how a personality disorder is shaped by an individual's intellectual disability and the difficulties this may lead to. It also explores a range of practical approaches to any difficulties that may arise to help staff work more effectively with this client group.
