Medium of instruction policies in education have considerable impact not only on the school performance of students and the daily work of teachers, but also on various forms of social and economic (in)equality. In many multiethnic and multilingual countries, the choice of a language for the medium of instruction in state educational systems raises a fundamental and complex educational question: what combination of instruction in students’ native language(s) and in a second language of wider communication will ensure that students gain both effective subject-content education, as well a

Written to help identify major gaps in our knowledge of how gender and age affect psychiatric diagnoses and to stimulate much-needed research to fill these gaps, Age and Gender Considerations in Psychiatric Diagnosis serves as both a valuable short-term source for the DSM-V Task Force and its disorder-specific workgroups, and a long-term guide for future studies that will contribute to revised psychiatric classifications in these areas. Here, 47 experts present findings in three previously neglected areas of psychiatric research: significant gender differences in prevalence, symptom profile

The Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES), administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is scheduled to become operational in 2004. These network sites will perform a range of experiments to test and validate complex computer models being developed to simulate the behavior of structures subjected to earthquakes. To assist in this effort, the NSF requested the National Research Council (NRC) to frame the major questions to be addressed by and to develop a long-term research agenda for NEES. "Preventing Earthquake Disasters" presents an overview of the grand challenge, i

Americans are living longer than ever before. For many, though, these extra years have become a bitter gift, marred by dementia, disability, and loss of independence. "Extending Life, Enhancing Life" sets the course toward practical solutions to these problems by specifying 15 research priorities in five key areas of investigation: basic biomedicine - to understand the fundamental processes of aging; clinical - to intervene against common disabilities and maladies of older persons; behavioural and social - to build on past successes with behavioural and social interventions; health services de
