Nursing Considerations In The Assessment Of An Autistic Child, Leanna Walker

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

A comprehensive assessment is essential for creating a nursing care plan for a child with autistic disorder. A standardized tool provides a guide for gathering assessment data; however, the method of assessment must be individualized to each patient. The nurse's role in planning care for a child with autism is discussed and implemented through development of a nursing care plan based on assessment of an autistic child. The assessment was performed using a version of Gordon's Functional Health Patterns, modified by the researcher to encompass all aspects of health concern for an autistic child.

Teaching Computing To Engineering Freshmen Through A High Tech Tools And Toys Laboratory, S. Mcknight, G. Tadmor, E. Carr Everbach, W. E. Cole, M. Ruane

Engineering Faculty Works

Freshman engineering courses in computing applications and programming often lack applications that are sufficiently engaging without being overwhelming. Program outputs and graphics within the reach of beginning students are often woefully primitive compared to computer graphics that are available in commercial gaming software. The students’ lack of background in engineering subjects commonly leads to applications that are simplistic, mechanical (e.g., number sorting), or heavily flavored toward mathematics or physics concepts (such as fluid friction) that student have only an uneasy grasp on. We have developed a two- quarter-hour freshman computing course taught entirely in a “High Tech Tools and Toys …

Women, Nationalism And The Romantic Stage: Theatre And Politics In Britain, 1780–1800, Betsy Bolton

English Literature Faculty Works

In the 1780s and 1790s, theatre critics described the stage as a state in political tumult, while politicians invoked theatre as a model for politics both good and bad. In this study, Betsy Bolton examines the ways Romantic women performers and playwrights used theatrical conventions to intervene in politics. Reading the public performances of Emma Hamilton and Mary Robinson through the conventions of dramatic romance, Bolton suggests that the romance of national identity developed by writers such as Souther and Wordsworth took shape in complex opposition to these unruly women. Setting the conventions of farce against those of sentiment, playwrights …

Financial Regulations And Rules Of The Court , Georg Witcschel

Fordham International Law Journal

The PrepCom established a working group on financial regulations and rules, which held three sessions in November 2000, February 2001, and September 2001. While in part the models of the U.N. and draft ITLOS financial regulations could simply be followed, the PrepCom also had to tackle a number of unprecedented and difficult issues. This Essay describes how the PrepCom addressed the main novel questions.

Facts About Adolescents From The Demographic And Health Survey—Statistical Tables For Program Planning: India 1992–1993, Population Council

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

The Population Council initiated its work on adolescents in the mid-1990s. At that time, those advocating greater attention to adolescent issues were concerned about adolescent fertility—particularly outside of marriage—and adolescent “risk-taking” behavior. As an international scientific organization with its mandate centered around the needs of developing countries, the Council sought a more nuanced and context-specific understanding of the problems confronting adolescents in the developing world. In working with colleagues inside and outside the Council, it became clear that information on adolescents, and the way data are organized, were limiting the ability to understand the diversity of their experiences or to …

Living Arrangements Of Older Adults In The Developing World: An Analysis Of Dhs Household Surveys [Arabic], John Bongaarts, Zachary Zimmer

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

Using data from Demographic and Health Surveys, this study examines living arrangements of older adults in 43 developing countries and compares patterns by gender, world regions, and macro-level measures of socioeconomic development. Indicators include household size, headship, relationship to head, and coresidence with spouse, children, and others. Unweighted regional averages and OLS regressions determine whether variations exist. Average household sizes are large, but a substantially higher proportion of elderly adults live alone than do individuals in other age groups. Females are more likely than males to live alone and are less likely to live with a spouse or to head …

Determinants Of Educational Attainment Among Adolescents In Egypt: Does School Quality Make A Difference? [Arabic], Cynthia B. Lloyd, Sahar El Tawila, Wesley H. Clark, Barbara Mensch

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

The paper explores empirically the relationship between school quality in Egyptian preparatory (middle) schools and the likelihood of school dropout either during preparatory school or before the completion of secondary school. Despite strong empirical evidence for the many positive social and economic returns associated with more years of schooling, there has been little research exploring how the quality of particular schools might influence grade levels attained. The authors address this research gap using detailed data on Egyptian preparatory schools (grades 6-8, the last three years of the eight years of basic schooling) that are linked with a national survey of …

Ecological Degradation, Rural Poverty, And Migration In Ethiopia: A Contextual Analysis, Markos Ezra

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

The interrelationships between ecological degradation, poverty, and rural out-migration in Ethiopia are examined using data from a Household and Community Survey conducted in 1994-95. The survey, which covered a sample of 2,000 households, collected retrospective data on changes in household composition, including migration of household members, during the period 1984 to 1994. The study hypothesizes that the decision to out-migrate in the impoverished rural areas of northern Ethiopia is influenced by a combination of factors based on individual, household and community characteristics. A multilevel analysis is applied to determine the role of these factors in the decision. The findings show …

Structural And Functional Characterization Of The Activator Of G-Protein Signaling 3 (Ags3), Michael Labranche Bernard

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

AGS3 (Activator of G-protein Signaling 3) was isolated in yeast-based functional screen for receptor-independent activators of heterotrimeric G-proteins. To examine the role of AGS3 in mammalian signal processing, we defined the AGS3 sub domains involved in G-protein interaction, its selectivity for G-proteins and its influence on the activation state of G-protein. AGS3 co-immunoprecipitated with Gia3 from tissue lysates in a nucleotide dependent manner (GDP»GTPγS). The regions of AGS3 that bound Giα were localized to 4 thirty amino acid repeats (GPR - G-protein regulatory motif) in the carboxyl terminus (P463-S650), each of which were capable of binding Giα. AGS3-GPR domains selectively …
