Speech language pathologists' practice with young children who require augmentative and alternative communication: a focus on social communication and peer intervention
Creators: name: Quinn, Emily
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Language disorders in children
Social skills

description: Survey research methodology was used to elucidate the practices and opinions of speech-language pathologists (SLP) regarding intervention programming addressing social communication and the inclusion of peers for children who require augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Survey sections included a) demographics, b) general information regarding AAC, and c) practices regarding addressing social communication and peer interactions in intervention. Results of the study indicated that, although SLPs are addressing social communication and are including peers in intervention, more can be done to individualize intervention for children who require AAC. Further, SLPs were asked questions regarding the means available, opportunities, and instruction provided to children who require AAC who were characterized as "active" or "passive" communicators. Differences were noted in the findings with regard to the services provided to children who require AAC and their communication style. Additionally, results of the current investigation highlight specific problems regarding why SLPs are not including peers in intervention. The clinical practices reported by the participants in this investigation were compared to information that has been reported in the literature as best practice regarding intervention for children who require AAC. Ultimately, the study provides a framework for future research in developing social competence in individuals requiring an AAC system.

Scalable formal verification of finite field arithmetic circuits using computer algebra techniques

description: With the spread of internet and mobile devices, transferring information safely and securely has become more important than ever. Finite fields have widespread applications in such domains, such as in cryptography, error correction codes, among many others. In most finite field applications, the field size - and therefore the bit-width of the operands - can be very large. The high complexity of arithmetic operations over such large fields requires circuits to be (semi-) custom designed. This raises the potential for errors/bugs in the implementation, which can be maliciously exploited and can compromise the security of such systems. Formal verification of finite field arithmetic circuits has therefore become an imperative. This dissertation targets the problem of formal verification of hardware implementations of combinational arithmetic circuits over finite fields of the type F2k . Two specific problems are addressed: i) verifying the correctness of a custom-designed arithmetic circuit implementation against a given word-level polynomial specification over F2k ; and ii) gate-level equivalence checking of two different arithmetic circuit implementations. This dissertation proposes polynomial abstractions over finite fields to model and represent the circuit constraints. Subsequently, decision procedures based on modern computer algebra techniques - notably, Gr¨obner bases-related theory and technology - are engineered to solve the verification problem efficiently. The arithmetic circuit is modeled as a polynomial system in the ring F2k [x1, x2, · · · , xd], and computer algebrabased results (Hilbert's Nullstellensatz) over finite fields are exploited for verification. Using our approach, experiments are performed on a variety of custom-designed finite field arithmetic benchmark circuits. The results are also compared against contemporary methods, based on SAT and SMT solvers, BDDs, and AIG-based methods. Our tools can verify the correctness of, and detect bugs in, up to 163-bit circuits in F2163 , whereas contemporary approaches are infeasible beyond 48-bit circuits.

The accuracy of self-efficacy beliefs in outdoor education

description: In the present era of outcome assessment and accountability, self-efficacy is a popular outcome measure in outdoor and adventure education. Self-efficacy beliefs are context specific perceptions an individual possesses about a likelihood of success in future tasks and are related to well-being confidence, and persistence. However, recent research findings refute the traditional view that more is better, when it comes to selfefficacy beliefs. Specifically, findings indicate that these beliefs can be inaccurate and can easily become inflated resulting in decreases in motivation and performance. Outdoor and adventure-based education is one such context to avoid the inflation of selfefficacy beliefs due to the physical and educational consequences associated with failure (e.g., psychological harm, injury, or death). The following research examined a proposed seven factor structure of outdoor education practice. Exploratory factor analysis results (N = 303) indicated a 23-item, 5- factor structure which included (a) instruction and assessment, (b) outdoor classroom management, (c) technical skill, (d) interpersonal skill, and (e) environmental integration. Confirmatory factor analysis (N = 200) examined the fit of this model. Results indicated an acceptable fit with strong internal consistency and convergent validity for the Teaching Outdoor Education Self-Efficacy Scale with 22 items (TOE-SES 22). Subsequent research examined the effects of a monitoring intervention on the accuracy of teaching outdoor education self-efficacy beliefs. Treatment group participants on National Outdoor Leadership School Instructor Courses predicted their performance (a self-efficacy belief) before teaching a course topic, self-assessed that performance, and compared the accuracy of their predictions and self-assessments to an expert evaluation of their performance. Results indicated outdoor educators-in-training integrated this information and calibrated their TOESE beliefs better than the control group. Attending to the accuracy of teacher self-efficacy beliefs early in an educator's career may help him approach or avoid tasks when appropriate and ultimately, direct him toward developing the skills he is lacking. Teaching outdoor education is a complex task involving several factors, monitoring interventions are a strategy outdoor educator trainers should consider in their efforts to help emerging outdoor educators hone a complex set of skills to effectively and safely teach in the outdoors.

description: This dissertation is an inquiry focused on the causal relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth in both developed and developing  countries. Chapter 1 surveys the theoretical foundations and seminal empirical works, and motivates the remainder of the dissertation. This chapter shows that theory mainly points towards a positive FDI to economic growth link, but the empirical findings are highly heterogeneous. Chapter 1 also highlights recent trends in FDI in order for the reader to see FDI's increasing role in the global economy.

description: Metal music is a highly misunderstood style of music that is dismissed and demonized all over the world; even in the US and Europe where it originated it is still vilified and viewed as an unsophisticated style of music. In the Islamic Republic of Iran the same views are amplified to the extreme as a very foreign and Western style of music is growing in popularity. I explored the history of metal music to show where this genre originated so a better understanding of this music could be attained. Through an understanding of the genre it is much easier to understand how this music has spread across the globe like a wild fire and people in third world and oppressed nations are being inspired and motivated to become musicians and stand up for themselves and their beliefs. Iran is an excellent country to examine a growing metal music scene because of its status as an Islamic Republic. Music in general is a very controversial issue in Iran and metal music takes this controversy to another level because it is completely forbidden. This has not stopped many Iranians from attaining instruments and starting their own metal bands even though they are harassed and demonized by Iranian authorities. I conducted qualitative research using solo and focus group interviews with eight Persian metal bands and many fans and friends of these bands that identify themselves as metalheads. I had very long and detailed discussions canvasing many aspects of their lives, how they live as outcasts within an Islamic society, their goals in life, and what they want people outside Iran to understand about them. I analyzed the data I collected using a critical ethnographic and grounded theory method which allowed me to experience their lives with them and create life-long friendships. iv This thesis is the story of thousands of metalheads in Iran that are right now, as you read, playing metal music far underground where no one can hear them. As they play they are envisioning the uncertainty of their lives and the hope they have of a future where they can play in front of a crowd and feel the energy that music generates. Metal music fuels the fire that burns within their souls like gasoline and I hope that this thesis can help stoke that fire into a raging inferno.

description: Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of Vangueria agrestis aerial parts led to the isolation and characterization of four monoterpene rhamnosides, two ursane saponins, and six flavonoid glycosides. Of these constituents, are three undescribed monoterpene glycosides, vangagrestosides A-C. The reported constituents comprise the monoterpene glycoside [(2E,6Z)−2,6-dimethyl-8-[O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-oxy]-octadien-1-yl α-L-rhamnopyranoside], the saponins [3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl]pomolic acid, and 3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-xylopyranosyl]pomolic acid], and the flavonoids [narcissoside, rutin, hyperoside, guajavarin, biorobin, and nicotifloroside].
Probability on discrete structures

description: This dissertation contains the solutions to two problems. The first problem concerns probability on trees. The second is a covering problem. Several different probability problems can be studied on trees, such as random walks, percolation, random-walk-in-random-environment and tree-indexed processes. Optimal-reward problems are one reason to study tree-indexed processes. We assign i.i.d. Gaussian random variables with mean zero and variance one to the edges of a  tree. We show that if the growth of the tree has been restrained, then the asymptotic behavior of optimal rewards can be characterized. Since the weights are Gaussian random variables, the optimal reward at depth n can be treated as the supremum of a Gaussian process. To find the asymptotic behavior of optimal rewards, we appeal to Borell's inequality and metric entropy. If i.i.d. random variables (not necessarily  Gaussian) are attached to the edges of a spherically-symmetric tree, then we prove that the sooner the tree branches more, the greater the value of the optimal reward. Covering problems were first considered on the one-dimensional torus and a complete characterization of coverage was given by Shepp in 1972. The one-dimensional covering problem has wide variant problems studied through the past decades. The  covering problem that we consider is about covering a simple connected curve on the two-dimensional torus with squares. A method of projection and the martingale convergence theorem will be used in our analysis. We found a necessary and sufficient condition for coverage that is similar to Shepp's condition.

Evaluating determinants of sticky costs and operations based earnings prediction models using air transportation industry data and validation of verifiable detail as a source of credibility in customer retention strategy disclosure

description: Chapter 1 examines the relevance of operations based variables predicting future earnings. We use United States Air Transportation (airline) industry data to identify operations based variables that provide predictive information beyond that found in earnings components. We show that the adjusted R-squared from accounting based prediction models can be increased up to 5.1 percentage points by including operations based variables. We also find that predictive information found in operations based variables is not fully impounded in financial analysts' earnings predictions. We show that operations based variables explain 7.7 percentage points of analyst forecast error. We observe that this effect is especially large after the terroristic attacks of September 11, 2001 suggesting analysts continued using historical prediction methods, even though the airline industry went through dramatic turmoil.  Chapter 2 examines determinants of sticky cost behavior (asymmetric cost changes as revenue fluctuates). Cost accounting researchers examine sticky cost behavior to gain insights about management capacity decisions. The majority of the extant literature infers that costs decrease slower than they increase with demand fluctuations because management retains unused capacity in anticipation of future demand resurgence. I use airline industry data to provide evidence that sticky costs are associated with capacity and output selling price changes as management matches capacity with sales volume. I conclude that sticky costs arise when management adjusts capacity and sales volume (through pricing) if marginal cost of adding capacity is increasing as demand grows and marginal benefit from reducing capacity is decreasing as demand falls.  There is a lack of research investigating sources of credibility in nonfinancial disclosures. This is likely due to difficulty in associating expected future performance with nonfinancial variables. Chapter 3 addresses the problem using customer retention strategy disclosures. Customer retention theory provides expectations regarding economic outcome which can be used to validate sources of credibility in nonfinancial disclosure. I find that firms that provide verifiable detail in their customer retention disclosure increase the persistence of positive abnormal performance relative to firms that do not. This result contributes by providing evidence that verifiable detail is a valid source of credibility in nonfinancial disclosure.

description: This thesis consists of three chapters. In Chapter 1, we use a unique dataset of natural disasters, including earthquakes,  floods, storms, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires, to test whether investors suffer from behavioral bias such as underreacting to news and investor sentiment. In Chapter 2, we study the rationale for  firms' use of inside debt (pension and deferred compensation) by exploiting the relation between  firms' default risk and inside debt. In Chapter 3, we research the role of inside debt in the optimal structure of chief executive officer pay by performing a simulation analysis of investment distortions.

description: Because what people do individually and collectively is not based solely on what they know, the way educators communicate concepts in sustainability education is of  utmost importance. Framing may impact recognized antecedents of pro-environmental behavior (such as attitudes) as well as traditional educational outcomes (e.g., critical thinking). Because commonly used frames are based in metaphors that tend to portray nature as a resource and resist ecological realities (e.g., the finite nature of matter), sustainability education may actually undermine pro-environmental behavior. This study examines the impact of framing on critical elaboration in sustainability education.  Participants were college students in introductory ecology and recreation courses. Using a 2x2 fully factorial design, students read text; that portrayed humans as either a part of nature (systems metaphor) or apart from nature (nonsystems metaphor) in either active or passive voice and responded using a thought-listing technique. Responses were then coded for critical elaboration. Data were analyzed using an analysis of variance, which revealed no interaction of voice and metaphor type effects. A comparison of main effects means revealed significant differences. Frames that used a systems metaphor rather than a nonsystems metaphor elicited higher critical elaboration scores. Frames that used active rather than passive voice elicited more critical elaboration. Implications for future research and for sustainability education are discussed.

Uses of technology in the classroom

description: The definition of a ?traditional? classroom has undergone a significant change in the last few decades. The classroom of today in the 21st century provides much more technologically advanced tools. With the rapid advancements made in educational technology every year, teachers have had to learn to change and use new tools in their teaching. This study used Change Theory as a lens to interpret the ways that teachers are learning about technology through the technology professional development (TPD) programs available to them through their schools and/or districts. This study focused particularly on the needs of English teachers to determine if their needs are being met with the TPD programs available to them. Six school districts from three different states were included in this study. This research study followed a mixed method model, triangulation, and the constant comparative method to analyze its data. Participants were strictly limited to English teachers. The participants had the opportunity to participate in one or all of the data gathering tools. These tools included an electronic survey, focus groups, and individual interviews. Results of this study showed that as a whole, English teachers are not having their needs met in technology professional development (TPD). Very few of the schools represented in this study provided any TPD beyond the standard training for their online grade book programs. Teachers were very disappointed with the lack of effort or consideration their administrators have towards their technology professional development and felt that much of the time they spend in their regular professional development meeting is wasted. Participants criticized the poor quality of their TPD and that very few good teaching methods are ever employed. Teachers asked to be involved in TPD decisions so that they can learn advanced technology skills. Teachers in this study provided several recommendations for their school and district leaders on how to better provide TPD that would meet their needs as well as benefit teachers in all content areas.
Tabula Rasa: let's begin again modern dance and social activism

Social issues in dance

description: As a dance artist I have always felt the desire to explore societal issues, yet I  never saw how necessary this exploration was to my well-being as an individual. Post-  9/11 America has led me to question my value as an artist and contributor to my society.  Can dance really make a difference? Researching how other choreographers, past and  present, have tackled social issues in their work gave me great insight into how to  contribute to the social dialogue through movement and metaphor. The creation of my  own work in response to post-9/11 American society has allowed me to make meaning of  this chaotic time and reinforce my belief in the power of dance to promote change in  individuals who both witness and experience dance. This may lay the ground work for  change in society at large.

description: The new compound 2-O-β-D-fructofuranosylglycerol was isolated from the hexane residue. Also 2-O-methyl-α-fructofuranoside was isolated for the first time from the fruits of Pyrus amygdaliformis Vill. The chemical structure of isolated carbohydrates was identified using NMR, mass spectroscopic technique and literature data. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of P. amygdaliformis Vill. hexane, dichloromethane and butanol extracts of fruits were used for testing microorganisms. Hexane extract showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis and Salmonella typhimurium with MIC ranging between 25 and 0.39 mg/mL. The most sensitive strain was found to be K. pneumoniae with MIC value at 0.39 mg/mL in hexane extract.

description: The aim of this work was to provide information about kinetin effects on chemical volatile profile of Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe after several days of plant dormancy release. Rhizomes of C. zedoaria were immersed in four kinetin concentrations (0, 50, 100, 150 mg ml−1, n = 12 by each concentration) for 30 min. After 240 h of treatment, root length (mm), bud break (%) and bud speed index (BSI) were measured, and three rhizomes at 24 h and 240 h were collected for chemical volatile profile analysis by application of headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Kinetin does not alter morphological aspects of the bud dormancy releasing, but drastically changes metabolic aspects of volatile production on C. zedoaria rhizomes, by the selection of several monoterpenes, such as camphene, sabinene, isoborneol, borneol, 1,8-cineole. We assume that kinetin application maintain monoterpene production as a consequence of its signaling over dormancy release.

description: Background: The practice of inflicting cuts (incisions) on the anterior abdominal wall to treat splenomegaly of various causes is a very common one in some parts of Edo State, Nigeria. Such incisions may result in several complications including sepsis (especially in children who are the major targets); massive blood loss leading to symptomatic anemia that may require blood transfusions or lead to death and massive keloidal growth as sequelae in some of the patients. This practice is a long-term practice of the Esan people of the central part of Edo State Nigeria. This study aims to identify the factors that continue to make this practice attractive to members of the community, the common complications encountered, and how to develop an advocacy tool for health education and promote the health-seeking behavior of the populace.Methods: This was a prospective community based cross-sectional descriptive study that was conducted in all the 5 Esan speaking local government areas of Edo State where this practice is very common. The study was done between January 2017 and June 2018. Participants were interviewed using a structured questionnaire by previously trained researchers, after pretesting and validation. The questionnaire was administered on 700 adults, however, 500 were returned. The data obtained were summarized as frequencies and percentages.Results: The majority of the participants were middle-aged. Ninty-five percent (95%) of respondents were aware of the practice of abdominal scarification and 80% of them think it is effective. It was mainly carried out by herbalists in 95% of the respondents. Half of the respondents were unaware of any complications associated with the procedure.Conclusion: Abdominal scarification is a common practice among the Esan people of south-south Nigeria. They believe it's effective, affordable, and risk-free. This is despite the availability of effective alternatives in orthodox medicine. There is, therefore, a need for advocacy and health education considering the dangers and complications associated with the practice
