Results of a Survey Offering Clinical Insights into Speech-Language Pathology Telepractice Methods
Authors: Grillo Elizabeth U. 
Published: November 2017

A telepractice survey was administered to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Special Interest Group 18 Telepractice affiliates and attendees of the Waldo County General Hospital Speech-Language Pathology Telepractice Training program in Maine, USA over the summer of 2016. Sixty-seven respondents completed the survey. The survey explored demographics of clients and clinicians, costs and equipment, learning opportunities, use of the client’s environment and caregivers/e-helpers, and method adaptations in telepractice. The results of the survey provide information on the current state of telepractice methods in speech-language pathology from experienced practitioners. This information may be used to develop telepractice models and to prepare speech-language pathology graduate students in the delivery of telepractice methods.

Letter to the Editor: License Portability for Occupational Audiologists is Essential
Authors: Cook George R. 
Published: November 2017

Occupational audiologists have a crisis in their profession and need advocates. These audiologists are primarily responsible for industrial hearing conservation programs and their compliance with multiple regulations, such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the Federal Railroad Administration. Occupational hearing programs, for the most part, are multi-state programs as companies and corporations are national organizations. Also, companies may contract services across state lines as local services may not be desired or available. Individual state telepractice regulations require audiologists who are professionally supervising these programs via the internet and phone, to secure licensure in each state. For this licensure redundancy, the cost in time and tracking are enormous. It is imperative that the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), secure multistate licensure for speech-language pathologists and audiologists. For the profession of occupational audiology, it is essential.Keywords: Licensure, Occupational audiologists, Telehealth, Telepractice
Telerehabilitation Feasibility in Total Joint Replacement
Authors: Nelson Mark J. , Crossley Kay M. , Bourke Michael G. , Russell Trevor G. 
Published: November 2017

Despite documented benefits, many Total Joint Replacement (TJR) patients find it difficult to access rehabilitation following discharge from hospital. One solution to improve access for TJR patients is telerehabilitation. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of introducing a telerehabilitation program for TJR patients. TJR patients at QEII Jubilee Hospital were invited to complete a questionnaire regarding their access, feelings towards and preferences in using technology. Seventy-five patients were recruited. Most patients had computer access (72%) and internet (69%) at home. Sixty-five percent of participants were willing to participate in telerehabilitation. A significant difference was found between older and younger patients. Watching videos on an electronic device was the preferred method for a technology-based home exercise program and phone call the preferred method of communication. Results indicate telerehabilitation in the TJR population is feasible from the perspective of access to, feelings toward, and preferences for technology.Keywords: Hip replacement, Knee replacement, Telerehabilitation, Telemedicine, Total joint replacement
The Physical Therapy Compact: From Development to Implementation
Authors: Adrian Leslie 
Published: November 2017

The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) began the process of implementing the Physical Therapy Compact (PTC) in 2010 with a delegate assembly motion. An interstate compact is an agreement between states to enact legislation and enter into a contract for a specific, limited purpose or to address a particular policy issue. An interstate compact benefits patients, consumers, and licensees by addressing workforce concerns improving licensure portability from state-to-state; facilitating short-term mobility and telehealth consultation for physical therapists. FSBPT formed strategic partnerships with the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and Council for State Governments’ (CSG) to develop and implement the PTC. From April 2014-present, FSBPT followed the CSG recommended stages of compact development: Advisory, Drafting, Education, Enactment, and Transition. The enactment phase began once the threshold number of ten states required in legislation passed the compact bill in 2017. FSBPT anticipates the compact will be fully operational and licensees will be able to take advantage of the compact by mid-2018.Keywords: Compact, Physical therapy, Telehealth

“Infected by Superstitions”: Folie à Deux in “The Fall of the House of Usher”
Authors: Shackelford Lynne Piper 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In “The Fall of the House of Usher,” Edgar Allan Poe offers a pioneering study of folie à deux, today known as shared psychotic disorder, in which a person with a psychotic disorder induces a seemingly healthy person to experience a delusion and/or a hallucination. Drawing on psychological literature from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, the article examines Roderick Usher as the inducer and the narrator as the induced. Roderick exhibits eccentric traits characteristic of schizotypal personality disorder and, as the tale unfolds, manifests symptoms of schizophrenia. While the narrator strives to hold onto his rationality, he eventually becomes, in his own words, “infected” by Roderick's superstitious beliefs. That infection leads to a hallucination of Roderick's twin sister, Madeline, as having escaped from a coffin within the family vault. The shock of seeing his friend's dramatic decline, the strain of trying to alleviate Roderick's grief, natural sympathy for his friend's plight, the power of Roderick's rhetoric, and strong suggestibility, heightened by an isolated and melancholy environment, lead the narrator to a shared psychosis. Never fully recovering from his nightmarish experience, the narrator feels compelled to relive the horror in relating his traumatic encounter with the Usher twins. Poe's evocative portrayal of the contagion of fear and its effect on perception reveals how psychologically prescient he was about shared psychotic disorder.
Poe as “A Critical Jack Ass”
Authors: Kopley Richard 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
A long-lost January 3, 1842, essay titled “A Critical Jack Ass” (appearing in the New York Evening Tattler) constitutes a lengthy condemnation of Edgar Allan Poe's Graham's Magazine review of Henry Cockton's novel Stanley Thorn. This newly recovered piece constitutes further evidence of the sometimes overheated response that Poe's frank and incisive critical commentary prompted. The authorship of this piece is unknown.
The Relationship Between Earnings-to-Price, Current Ratio, Profit Margin and Return: An Empirical Analysis on Istanbul Stock Exchange
Authors: Öztürk Hakkı 
Published: November 2017

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between current ratio, earnings to price, net profit margin and stock returns in İstanbul Stock Exchange over the period 2008-2016 by employing panel data analysis. Due to the existence of heteroskedasticity, cross sectional dependence and autocorrelation in sample data, two-way fixed effects model is estimated by robust estimators. Both Parks-Kmenta and Beck-Katz methods are conducted to check whether the results are consistent or not. According to Park-Kmenta estimation model, the results show that earnings to price and net profit margin are significant to explain stock returns in İstanbul Stock Exchange while current ratio is found insignificant. Moreover, the test based on Beck-Katz model produces the similar results. Earnings to price and net profit margin are strong determinants of stock returns in Istanbul Stock Exchange. Stocks with higher E/P ratios and profit margins generate higher returns for the next period.
Ver para hacer. La película como argumento del proyecto
Authors: Bergera Iñaki 
Published: November 2017

El presente texto repasa, como caso de estudio, la utilización de películas, cortos y documentales audiovisuales como argumento y referencia en determinados enunciados de proyectos arquitectónicos en los primeros cursos del Grado en Estudios en Arquitectura. A partir de esta contrastable y fructífera experiencia se trata no tanto de revisar y verificar las conocidas sinergias entre cine y arquitectura sino poner metodológicamente de relieve la importancia de dotar al alumno en sus primeros años de práctica proyectual de un apoyo referencial verosímil y verificable —a través de lo visual— que le ayude a caer en la cuenta de los anhelos de realismo al que todo proyecto aspira. El simulacro del proyecto encuentra un aliado en la ficción realista del cine. La asociación cine-arquitectura se pone por tanto al servicio, como medio no como fin, del aprendizaje y la metodología proyectual.
The present paper reviews, as a case study, the use of films, short films and audiovisual documentaries as arguments and references for desing assignments in early design studios at the school of architecture. Out of this fruitful experience the goal is not so much to review and verify the well-known synergies between film and architecture but to methodologically emphasize the importance of endowing the student in his first steps of design practice with realistic and feasible referential support —through the visual— that could help him to realize the yearnings of realism to which every project aspires. The simulacrum of the project finds an ally in the realistic fiction of the movie. The film-architecture association is thus placed at the service, as a medium not as an end, of learning and design methodology.

Aprender a ver la luz. La fotografia como herramienta docente
Authors: Muros Alcojor Adrián , Muñoz Heras Olvido 
Published: November 2017

En las asignaturas de iluminación de Arquitectura, la fotografía es una herramienta que muestra el resultado perceptivo de diferentes propuestas lumínicas. Captura en una imagen la percepción de un espacio que, a su vez, depende de aspectos formales y materiales propios de la arquitectura, de las características técnicas y cualitativas de la luz utilizada y de la sensibilidad de la mirada del fotógrafo. De un mismo espacio obtenemos infinitas imágenes con cualidades diferentes según sea la luz, una gran variedad de efectos sistematizables que permiten relacionar los propuestas lumínicas con sus resultados perceptivos de un modo comprensible e inequívoco. Como actividad complementaria a las clases planteamos un concurso de fotografía a nivel internacional, donde la luz artificial es la protagonista, con la intención de convertir la observación de la luz en un hábito del estudiante. Lo cual nos da la posibilidad de compartir experiencias, miradas y los sentimientos que la luz despierta con otros países.
In the lighting subjects of Architecture, photography is a tool that shows the perceptive result of different lighting proposals. It captures in an image the perception of a space that, in turn, depends on the formal and material aspects of the architecture, the technical and qualitative characteristics of the light used and the sensitivity of the photographer's gaze. From the same space we obtain infinite images with different qualities depending on the light, a great variety of systematizable effects that allow to relate the light proposals with their perceptive results in an understandable and unequivocal way. As a complementary activity to the classes, we propose a photo competition at an international level, where artificial light is the main character, with the intention of making the observation of light a habit of the student. Which gives us the possibility of sharing experiences, looks and feelings that the light awakens with other countries.

Aprendiendo negociando: la realidad es mi campo de juego
Authors: Capdevila Castellanos Ivan 
Published: November 2017

Este artículo desarrolla la experiencia W.A.T.C.H., un curso de proyectos arquitectónicos realizado entre universidad, ayuntamiento, instituciones públicas, entidades privadas, asociaciones culturales, sociedad civil... Los proyectos han sido implementados y disfrutados por la ciudadanía. Sin embargo, el objetivo primero del curso no es la reproducción de cierto modelo profesional figurado en la imagen de los colectivos de arquitectos jóvenes, sino más bien el desarrollo de la inteligencia social, el posicionamiento crítico y la capacidad relacional del alumno como competencias propias de la asignatura Proyectos IV. Para ello el curso plantea un desplazamiento de las habituales narrativas personales, como estrategia recurrente en las asignaturas de proyectos, hacia la creación de una experiencia radical de lo real en la que los diseños se convierten en ejercicios de laboratorización latouriana de la ciudad y en la que sus distintos agentes se convierten en expertos de “otro” conocimiento que se transfiere al ámbito académico arquitectónico.
This article develops the W.A.T.C.H., experience, an architectural design course realized jointly between university, city government, public institutions, private entities, cultural associations, civil society... The projects have been implemented and enjoyed by citizens. However, the objective is not the reproduction of a certain professional model that is represented nowadays in the image of young architects collectives, but rather the development by the student of social intelligence, critical positioning and relational capacity as their own competencies. To this end, the course proposes a displacement of personal narrative relations, as a recurrent strategy in design courses, towards the creation of a radical experience of the real in which design become and exercise of latouranization of the city and in which their different agents become experts of "other" knowledge that is transferred to the architectural academic context.
Permanencia en la fugacidad: explorando el potencial didáctico de la arquitectura efímera
Authors: García Martínez Pedro 
Published: November 2017

En este texto se describe el proceso seguido para la realización de dos instalaciones arquitectónicas efímeras que representaron a la ETSAE en un festival de arte urbano. Seguidamente, se extraen y abstraen herramientas didácticas que pueden tener un valor para la docencia y el aprendizaje de la asignatura de proyectos arquitectónicos, u otras similares, presentes en los planes de estudios basados en competencias. En el desarrollo de dichas instalaciones el alumnado además de diseñar fue parte activa en la ejecución de los objetos proyectados. La similitud de esta dinámica con la realidad de la realización de los proyectos arquitectónicos supone una motivación extra, sin embargo exige que el docente sea consciente de que conlleva el uso de herramientas acordes con la misma. Tales herramientas han de permitir gestionar, además del diseño, la ejecución, el mantenimiento y la difusión de los resultados.
This paper describes the process followed for the construction of two ephemeral architectural installations that represented the ETSAE in an urban art festival. Then, we extract and abstract some didactic tools that can be valuable for teaching and learning architectural design subject or other similar to this one, according to competences based curricula. nDeveloping these installations, students have not only be required to designed them, but also to have been an active part in their execution. The similarity of this dynamics with real architectural processes is an extra motivation for students; however it requires the teacher to be aware that it involves the use of tools in accordance with it. Such tools must enable teachers to manage easily the different phases of the process: design, assembly, maintenance and the diffusion of results.
