“…(Previously, sufficient conditions were known for systems with a bounded number of vertices per level [3,7]. A similar condition has been given independently by Durand and Yassawi [8], and a necessary condition was mentioned in [12].) We use this condition to determine the probability that a random order on a fixed diagram, or an ordered diagram constructed at random in a certain sense, is topologically conjugate to an odometer (Examples 5.5 and 5.6).…”

We consider arbitrary orderings of the edges entering each vertex of the (downward directed) Pascal graph. Each ordering determines an adic (Bratteli-Vershik) system, with a transformation that is defined on most of the space of infinite paths that begin at the root. We prove that for every ordering the coding of orbits according to the partition of the path space determined by the first three edges is essentially faithful, meaning that it is one-to-one on a set of paths that has full measure for every fully supported invariant probability measure. We also show that for every $k$ the subshift that arises from coding orbits according to the first $k$ edges is topologically weakly mixing. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for any adic system to be topologically conjugate to an odometer and use this condition to determine the probability that a random order on a fixed diagram, or a diagram constructed at random in some way, is topologically conjugate to an odometer. We also show that the closure of the union over all orderings of the subshifts arising from codings of the Pascal adic by the first edge has superpolynomial complexity, is not topologically transitive, and has no periodic points besides the two fixed points, while the intersection over all orderings consists of just four orbits

“…This reflects what Pitonyak (2014) describes as a ‘system‐centred’ approach to care rather than a ‘person‐centred’ approach whereby adults with intellectual disability are seen as objects to be processed by the system. This raises concern about whether disability services masquerade as being person‐centred when in reality so many adults with intellectual disability are living in controlling and dehumanising environments with barren lifestyles that few of us would choose to inhabit (Durand, 1990; Osgood, 2005; Risley, 1996).…”

Institutionalised cultures and imbalances of power have been identified within the literature as risk factors for the abuse of adults with intellectual disability living in residential services. Governments in the Republic of Ireland and internationally continue to support person-centredness as a framework of care that can promote cultural change within disability services as a safeguard against abuse. However, there is limited research which seeks to explore if person-centredness as a framework of care has had much impact on changing cultures within disability services as a protective factor against abuse. This study aims to explore how adults with intellectual disability living in residential services and staff experience the professional caring relationship and the framework of person-centredness. The study was based on a phenomenological approach using thematic analysis which enabled six adults with intellectual disability and six staff to participate through one-to-one interviews. The thematic analysis resulted in three main themes: (1) Conflict within the relational dynamic between service users and staff. (2) Challenges to delivering person-centred care. (3) Shared needs. Participants reported that there was conflict within the relationship between service users and staff influenced by relational and cultural issues. Participants also experienced challenges in delivering person-centred care within the service. This study revealed that as a result of wider organisational and cultural influences, personcentred cultures, which are vital to underpin changes in power imbalances, were often undermined. This research highlights that it is not enough to have a system of quality of care guided by the principles of person-centredness alone to ensure a shift in culture and safeguard against abuse of adults with intellectual disability. Rather, consideration of the relational and cultural factors that impact their lives also needs to be built into the values and practices of services offered to adults with intellectual disability.
