Bilan Des Études Portant Sur L'Oxyde D'Éthylène, Diane Berthelette, Lucien Lewys Abenhaim

Rapports de recherche scientifique

L'oxyde d'éthylène est un produit inflammable et explosif dont les propriétés Irritantes et toxiques sont connues. Au cours des cinq dernières années plusieurs études ont permis de mieux connaitre les effets nocifs pouvant résulter de l'exposition à ce produit.

Le National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (36) et l'American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hyglenists (2) considèrent que ces recherches apportent des arguments scientifiques suffisants pour que l'oxyde d'éthylène soit maintenant considéré comme un produit potentiellement carcinogène. Ils recommandaient par conséquent que la norme relative à la concentration moyenne admissible fixée à 50 ppm en 1971, soit réévaluée d'une part …

Associations Between Phonology And Syntax In Speech-Delayed Children, Rhea Paul, Lawrence D. Shriberg

Communication Disorders Faculty Publications

Interactions between phonology and syntax are inspected in continuous speech samples from 30 speech-delayed children. Two types of interactions are examined: The co-occurrence of speech and language delay and the effects of phonological reduction on the realization of phonetically complex morphophonemes. Four possible patterns of association between the phonological and syntactic systems are outlined, and subjects are assigned to these patterns based on their phonological and syntactic performance. Results indicate that two-thirds of the subjects display evidence of overall syntactic delay, whereas half show some limitation in the use of phonetically complex morphophonemes, their performance in that area being below …

Irritability In Autistic Children Treated With Fenfluramine, Fred Volkmar, Rhea Paul, Donald J. Cohen, B. Shaywitz

Communication Disorders Faculty Publications

Letter to the Editor in response to a report by Geller et al. The article presented preliminary results suggesting the possible usefulness of fenfluramine (a substituted phenylethylamine widely used as an appetite suppressant) in the treatment of infantile autism (July 15, 1982, issue). The rationale for the use of this agent rests on its ability to lower peripheral-blood levels of serotonin and on the observation that a substantial minority of autistic persons have elevated peripheral-blood serotonin levels. The report emphasized the preliminary nature of the results in a small sample of three young autistic boys with elevated serotonin levels.

Toward A Phenomenological-Based Perspective Of Acculturation With Application To Scottish Immigrants, Dorothy M. Sermol

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis is an attempt to construct a perspective of the acculturation of immigrants drawing on certain communication- based phenomenological assumptions.

Increasing Staff Use Of Sign Language, Melanie Hepworth Neville

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This study examined the effectiveness of two procedures, a visual cue and performance posting, to modify the use of sign language by psychiatric technicians. The visual cue was first introduced alone, then paired with performance posting to encourage staff use of sign language with the developmentally disabled children in their charge. Application of the visual cue alone produced little change in staff sign useage. The visual cue plus performance posting condition increased staff use of sign language during mealtimes. Four weeks of follow-up data indicated that the use of sign language remained at a level well above baseline.
