Cet ouvrage collectif rassemble une série de communications qui ont été présentées au symposium du Festival international de psychologie africaine organisé par l’Association Sikotwomatis ak Afrikanite (SITWOMAFRIKA), en partenariat avec l’Institut d’études et de recherches africaines d’Haïti (IERAH/ISERSS) de l’Université d’État d’Haïti, à Port-au-Prince en mai 2016, sous l’égide de Judite Blanc et Sterlin Ulysse. Il s’agissait, à travers ce premier événement festif et pluridisciplinaire du genre à Port-au-Prince, de nourrir les discussions sur les séquelles écologiques, psychologiques, sociales, culturelles et épistémiques de l’histoire de l’esclavage et de la colonisation dans le développement des sujets haïtiens, africains et afro-caribéens. Ce choix thématique s’étaye sur deux familles de modèles théoriques en psychologie : la première éclaire les conséquences de la violence sur le développement et l’équilibre des individus, tandis que la seconde propose de faire la lumière sur l’interaction entre la biologie et l’environnement (physique et social).

Students are introduced to prosthetics history, purpose and benefits, main components, main types, materials, control methods, modern examples including modern materials used to make replacement body parts and the engineering design considerations to develop prostheses. They learn how engineers and medical doctors work together to improve the lives of people with amputations and the challenges faced when designing new prostheses with functional and cosmetic criteria and constraints. A PowerPoint(TM) presentation and two worksheets are provided.

Psychology is designed to meet scope and sequence requirements for the single-semester introduction to psychology course. The book offers a comprehensive treatment of core concepts, grounded in both classic studies and current and emerging research. The text also includes coverage of the DSM-5 in examinations of psychological disorders. Psychology incorporates discussions that reflect the diversity within the discipline, as well as the diversity of cultures and communities across the globe.Senior Contributing AuthorsRose M.

The video resource "Trauma & Addiction: Crash Course Psychology #31" is included in the "Psychology" course from the resources series of "Crash Course". Crash Course is a educational video series from John and Hank Green.

Students experience the engineering design process as they design and construct lower-leg prostheses in response to a hypothetical zombie apocalypse scenario. Like the well-known Apollo 13 story during which engineers were challenged to fix the crippled spacecraft with limited supplies in order to save astronauts' lives, in this activity, students act as engineers during an imaginary disaster in which a group member's leg was amputated in order to survive a zombie attack. Building on what they learned and researched in the associated lesson, they design and fabricate a replacement prosthetic limb using given specific starting material and limited additional supplies, similar to how engineers design for individuals while working within constraints. A more-advanced scenario challenges students to design a prosthesis that is able to provide a more-specific movement function.
