3CRDL (spreek uit cradle) is een interactief zorginstrument dat op aanraking tussen mensen reageert en deze vertaalt in geluiden of muziek. Dit maakt contact mogelijk voor cliënten die moeite hebben met communicatie en sociale interactie. In dit artikel geven de auteurs uitleg over wat CRDL inhoudt, bij wie het kan worden ingezet en hoe CRDL in de praktijk werkt.

Universities offering teacher training programmes have been criticized for decades for failing to provide preservice teachers with sufficient training in multicultural teaching competences. To develop these competencies, universities are now advised to provide programs that facilitate interethnic contact between preservice teachers and pupils during internships or community-based exposure. Based on the literature, it was hypothesized that contact experiences should occur both within and beyond school settings and should extend over a prolonged period of time. This study aims to reveal the potential role of different types of interethnic contact for multicultural teaching competences among second-year preservice teachers using a repeated measures design. The findings show the crucial role of previous interethnic contact in the neighbourhood over an extended period of time on the perceived quality of multicultural teaching competences of preservice teachers.

Victim-offender contact has been studied extensively in prisons, but research on contact between victims and mentally disordered offenders in forensic mental health settings is lacking. Therefore, an exploratory study was conducted on contact between victims and offenders in four Dutch forensic psychiatric hospitals. These offenders have committed serious (sexually) violent offenses, for which they could not be held fully responsible due to severe psychopathology. During the mandatory treatment, it is possible for offenders and their victims to engage in contact with each other if both parties agree to this. To explore the conditions under which this contact is suitable, we interviewed 35 social workers about their experiences in 57 cases from four Dutch forensic psychiatric hospitals. Findings demonstrated that, according to the social workers, no type of offense or psychopathology were obvious exclusion criteria for victim-offender contact. Social workers described offenders' problem awareness, stable psychiatric condition, and ability to keep to agreements as important factors that enable victim-offender contact. Implications and suggestions for future research are provided.

Objectives: Older people are increasingly entering their later years in stepfamilies. Because adult children play a central role in older parents’ support networks, there is concern that the generally weaker intergenerational ties found in stepfamilies may imply an impending deficit in the care available to stepparents. It is currently unclear whether there are differences across stepfamily types including stepfamilies with only biological children. The aim of the study is to examine whether there are differences in contact frequency with and care receipt from adult biological and stepchildren in biological and different types of stepfamilies. Methods: Data are from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (1992–2022; 10 observations); respondents’ ages varied between 54 and 101. An average of 3.7 observations are available from 2,761 parents in biological families and 647 parents in stepfamilies. Results: Parents in biological families and in stepfamilies with joint children had more contact than in other stepfamily types. There was less contact in stepfamilies with biological and stepchildren formed in midlife and in families with only stepchildren. There were small differences in care receipt; the lowest likelihood was in composite families. Discussion: Our study challenges the idea that the relationships of the adult child to older parents in all stepfamilies are weaker than in biological families and points to the importance of considering that only some stepfamilies are vulnerable in terms of contact frequency. We query whether stepfamilies are resilient, for example, to greater pressures from a sharp increase in care needs for one or both parents.

This study examined how school diversity perspectives (multiculturalism, critical consciousness, color-evasion) may enhance student outcomes (school belonging, well-being, intercultural contact) and whether a strong diversity climate among classmates (openness and appreciation of diversity) may moderate this link. We surveyed N = 280 high school students (Mage = 15.95; 47.5% female; 1.8% nonbinary) in the Netherlands. We performed multigroup structural equation modeling, comparing cultural minority (n = 81) and majority (n = 203) students, and multilevel analysis to separate individual-level from classroom-level effects. A strong diversity climate among classmates and color-evasion in school (not multiculturalism and critical consciousness) were robustly, positively related to belonging and well-being (minority and majority students) and intercultural contact (minority students). For all students, a strong diversity climate among classmates amplified the relation between color-evasion with student outcomes. Findings highlight the need to distinguish school-level policies from classroom-level practices in addressing educational inequities between minority and majority students.

The experiences of beginning and experienced teachers in parent teacher contact Beginning teachers struggle during their first years, which is shown in the number of beginning teachers that leave the profession. 25 percent leaves within five years. This is worrying, as there is a lack of teachers. Beginning teachers experience multiple problems, such as high workload. Which is largely caused by parent teacher contact. In this study, the relation between the amount of work experience in primary education, and the positive or negative experiences with parent teacher contact is studied. Interviews with primary school teachers from six elementary schools in the Northern part of the Netherlands are conducted by the method of storytelling, which is a form of narrative inquiry. Ten beginning teachers and ten experienced teachers were selected. Through these interviews, multiple stories were found, which were coded inductively and deductively. Content analysis showed some differences between beginning and experienced teachers. Beginning teachers seem to feel more insecure than experienced teachers, caused by their lack of experience and having no children themselves. Thereby, beginning teachers feel less appreciated by parents than experienced teachers do. However, similarities between beginning and experienced teachers are many times as large as the differences. Beginning and experienced teachers have the same ideas about cooperating with parents. Both see a decrease of teacher authority and an increase of critical parent attitude. Both experience many support of their colleagues or coach at work.

Per 1 januari 2018 is een wijziging van Boek 1 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek in werking getreden, te weten de inwerkingtreding van de Wet clausuleren recht op contact of omgang na partnerdoding. Het recht op contact of omgang van de ouder met zijn kind is een fundamenteel recht. Van contact wordt gesproken als de ouder het gezag heeft over het kind; omgang ziet op de situatie dat de ouder geen gezag heeft over het kind. Ook indien de ene ouder de andere ouder heeft gedood, heeft deze ouder in beginsel recht op contact of omgang met zijn kind. De wetswijziging heeft geregeld dat in het geval van (vermoedelijke) partnerdoding de kinderrechter altijd oordeelt of contact of omgang in het belang van het kind is, en dit doet op basis van een verzoek van de Raad voor de Kinderbescherming (RvdK).

Apart from tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), a third PA appears to occur in human plasma. Its activity is initiated when appropriate triggers of the contact system are added, and the activation depends on the presence of factor XII and prekallikrein in plasma. The activity of this, so-called, contact-system dependent PA accounts for 30% of the PA activity in the dextran sulphate euglobulin fraction of plasma and was shown not to be an intrinsic property of one of the contact-system components, nor could it be inhibited by inhibitory antibodies against t-PA or u-PA. We have succeeded in identifying this third PA in dextran sulphate euglobulin fractions of human plasma. Its smallest unit (SDS-PAGE) is an inactive 110 kDa single-chain polypeptide which upon activation of the contact system is converted to a cleaved, disulphide-bridged molecule with PA activity. The native form, presumably, is an oligomer, since the apparent Mr on gel-chromatography is 600,000. The IEP is 4.8, much lower than that of t-PA and u-PA. Although the active 110 kDa polypeptide cannot be inhibited by anti-u-PA, it yet comprises a 37 kDa piece with some u-PA related antigenic determinants. However, these determinants are in a latent or cryptic form, only detectable after denaturation by SDS. The 110 kDa polypeptide is evidently not a dimer of 55 kDa u-PA or a complex of u-PA with an inhibitor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
