Mixed methods were applied to examine the association of community participation by disabled youth with socioeconomic factors in rural Sri Lanka. There was a significant association between community participation and socioeconomic factors in the quantitative survey (n = 116): participants living in socioeconomically disadvantaged conditions had lower levels of community participation than those living without these disadvantages. Consistent with the findings of the survey, previous educational experiences, household economic conditions, and perceived resource information were common themes in the qualitative study (n = 26). The dynamics of these factors, including marginalisation of disabled youth within the household, were also observed. 相似文献

This study examines the experiences of disabled people in Sri Lanka as they make the transition out of vocational training programmes into employment. This study was carried out using purposive sampling method to select ‘good practice’ cases and semi-structured interviews with 12 disabled people. The study applied thematic analysis to the qualitative data using NVivo software. The disabled people were found to have distinctive employment experiences following vocational training such as gaining work satisfaction, earning and spending income, presenting workability, expanding social relationships, and facing challenges. This study also identified key factors related to the transition process, including skills acquired through training, job opportunities, participants’ strengths and empowerment, supportive environments, and suitable work. These findings have important implications for both policy and practice. 相似文献

Among wild plants ofHydrangea serrata (Hydrangeaceae) in Japan, there are sweet plants whose leave contain a kind of isocoumarin, phyllodulcin, which happens to
be 350 times as sweet as sucrose to the human tongue. In a primary beech forest in Ashu, Kyoto, the spatial distribution of
sweet plants and temporal and the spatial distribution of phyllodulcin within and among plants were investigated using a high
performance liquid chromatograph. The distribution of sweet plants was confined within a valley and was parapatric with non-sweet
plants. A plant's characteristic phyllodulcin accumulation did not change, even when transplanted into the different habitats.
The phyllodulcin content of the sweet plants varied greatly among plants, and the population mean peaked in July when the
plants flowered. Within a plant, phyllodulcin content was elevated by partial defoliation. We examined the possible effect
of phyllodulcin on herbivory by a specialist leafmining herbivore,Antispila hydrangifoliella (Lepidoptera: Heliozelidae). We transplanted sweet and nonsweet plants reciprocally between their original habitats, excluded
attacks by parasitoids, and compared performance of the leafminer. Leafminer colonization and larval survivorship on transplanted
andin situ plants was not significantly different between sites. The fact that accumulation of phyllodulcin did not augment a defensive
function, at least against herbivory by the leafminer, and the sporadic distribution of phyllodulcin-accumulating plants,
suggest that the genotypes synthesizing phyllodulcin emerged independently at separate localities by mutation, and that the
genotypes are almost adaptively neutral in defence against the specialist herbivore. 相似文献
