The Lived Experience of Families of Children With 22q11 Deletion Syndrome of the Disclosure of the Diag-nosis
Ayoub discusses her study on the lived experiences of families receiving a diagnosis of 22q11 Deletion Syndrome (22q11DS), a common genetic disorder affecting multiple body systems. Through interviews with 36 diverse families, the research identified three key themes around diagnosis disclosure: the circumstances of disclosure, family reactions, and the diagnosis's impact. The study emphasizes that ethical disclosure requires informed consent and clear communication about genetic implications, including privacy and testing of relatives. Respecting both parental and child autonomy is crucial to support informed decision-making without overwhelming families. The role of clinical ethics is highlighted in guiding disclosures with transparency, compassion, and clarity to help families cope with the diagnosis.

Workload: Taking Ownership of Your Teaching
Linked to the Early Career Framework, this book provides practical time management and productivity strategies to help new teachers tackle the issue of workload.Workload is a key issue for most beginning teachers. Trying to cope with all the demands of a new job with an increasing burden of administration, reporting and assessment tasks, can be daunting at best and may even lead to significant mental health issues. But there is a way through it all! This book acknowledges the challenges that exist and suggests evidence-informed ideas that can be used both in and outside the classroom to create an acceptable workload. It takes a positive and proactive stance, encouraging early career teachers to implement strategies that will enable them to work more effectively and ultimately bring a high level of enjoyment and job satisfaction.

Saving time : discovering a life beyond the clock
\"Our daily experience, dominated by the corporate clock that so many of us contort ourselves to fit inside, is destroying us. It wasn't built for people, it was built for profit. This is a book that tears open the seams of reality as we know it-the way we experience time itself-and rearranges it, reimagining a world not centered around work, the office clock, or the profit motive. Explaining how we got to the point where time became money, Odell offers us new models to live by--inspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological, and geological time--that make a more humane, more hopeful way of living seem possible. In this dazzling, subversive, and deeply hopeful reframing of time, Jenny Odell takes us on a journey through other temporal habitats. As planet-bound animals, we live inside shortening and lengthening days, alongside gardens growing, birds migrating, and cliffs eroding. The stretchy quality of waiting and desire, the way the present may suddenly feel marbled with childhood memory, the slow but sure procession of a pregnancy, or the time it takes to heal from injuries--physical or emotional. Odell urges us to become stewards of these different rhythms of life, to imagine a life, identity, and source of meaning outside of the world of work and profit, and to understand that the trajectory of our lives--or the life of the planet--is not a foregone conclusion. In that sense, \"saving\" time-recovering its fundamentally irreducible and inventive nature-could also mean that time saves us\"-- Provided by publisher.

The valuation and demand impacts of the worthwhile use of travel time with specific reference to the digital revolution and endogeneity
The research reported here is concerned with how the worthwhile use of travel time might impact on the value of travel time savings (VTTS) and on demand set in the context of the rail travel market in Great Britain. It has long been recognised, in a variety of literature, that improvements in worthwhile activities which will have been delivered by the digital revolution will impact VTTS and demand yet there is surprisingly little reliable evidence and official appraisal practice does not accommodate any such effects. In a large survey of rail travellers, we have explored how activities while travelling impact on VTTS and demand. An important feature of the study was to account for endogeneity whereby variations in VTTS estimates according to the worthwhile use of time are biased if drawn from comparisons across individuals of what they do while travelling rather from comparing within individual variations in activities. Indeed, we clearly demonstrate the impact of not allowing for endogeneity and indicate its presence in other studies. We find that the VTTS does vary according to activities undertaken while travelling in a largely credible manner and is broadly consistent with behavioural responses to different available activities. The evidence supports the VTTS falling over time due to the digital revolution and rail demand increasing. These are modest rather than considerable changes but nonetheless contribute a better understanding of evidence relating to VTTS and rail demand variations over time.
