Intimations Of Immorality: Clones, Cyrons And The Law, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

This article examines some legal and moral issues associated with two developing areas of biomedicine; cloning and cryonics. The author firstly considers the practical benefits to society of developing perfecting and utilizing the process of cloning. These include the ability to overcome inheritable genetic defects and the provision of organs for transplantation. Against this must be weighed some moral and ethical problems of genetic engineering. Professor Smith then discusses the process of deep-freezing a person and the development of cryonics as a social movement. The major legal problem stemming from cryonics is determining the time at which a cryonically suspended …

Pragmatic Conversational Skills Of Young Adults In Normal, Emr, And Tmr Classrooms, Jane Nicholson

Dissertations and Theses

Current language theory focuses on how a person communicates within a context (Bates, 1976a). A person's communicative competence depends on how effectively she translates her cognitive and social knowledge into linguistic forms to interact in the specific situation, following pragmatic rules (Prutting, 1982b). Thus, in order to assess a person's language ability accurately, the clinician needs to assess pragmatic skills as well as cognitive, social, and linguistic skills. A person's pragmatic development culminates in the ability to participate in a conversation (Rees, 1978).

Serial Cardiovascular Adaptations During Pregnancy, Mark Vincent Hart

Dissertations and Theses

Maternal cardiovascular adaptations appear to be essential in order to supply extra circulation to both the developing fetus and maternal system during a successful pregnancy. Since inadequate cardiovascular adjustments may produce abortions or maternal morbidity, the characterization of maternal cardiovascular changes during pregnancy and the elaboration of the underlying mechanism for these changes are essential to the understanding of how the heart enlarges during pregnancy and what significance this enlargement might have. To provide needed information regarding this time course and extent of maternal cardiac enlargement and the hormonal and hemodynamic changes which may be responsible for these changes, the …

The Closing Of Homer G. Phillips Hospital And Its Effect On The Infant Mortality Rate Of The City Of Saint Louis, Charles E. Crawford

Theses

The infant mortality statistics in any country reflect the social and economic well-being of its citizens. In the United States the infant mortality rate is regarded as a key indicator of the level of health of the population and by implication, as a measure of the effectiveness of the nation's health delivery system. Further , it is believed by some that infant mortality is the single most important public health problem in this country.

The effect on the infant mortality rate as related to the closing of the only acute care public hospital in an economically depressed community is observed …

The Effect Of A Small-Stepped Computer-Based Program On The Graphic Output Of Chronically Asphasic Adults, Cynthia Rubin

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an especially designed small-stepped treatment program utilizing the Apple II microcomputer on the graphic output of eight chronically aphasic adults. The subjects manifested moderate/ severe to severe communicative impairment as determined by performance on the Aphasic Language Performance Scales (ALPS) (Keenan and Brassell, 1974) and were receiving management at the Communicative disorders Clinic at the University of Central Florida. Pretreatment status of each subject was measured via a visual and hearing screening. In addition, the Aphasia Language Performance Scales were administered as an indicant of overall communicative ability. Spelling …

The Utilization Of Response Surface Techniques In Survival Experiments, Leonard Edward Buchner

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Linear regression procedures are described which give an unbiased estimate of the percent functional viability of rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN's). These statistical techniques allow discrimination between variables which result in increased PMN survival after freezing. A review of current response surface techniques was made as they relate to optimizing the functional viability of PMN's after freezing. Experimental designs based on the steepest ascent and simplex methodologies were considered. Since the hill climbing efficiency of the steepest ascent and simplex methods are comparable, the steepest ascent procedure was selected as it is more readily adaptable to a batch mode analysis.

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.

A Correlation Of Subjective Ranking Of Facial Esthetics And The Golden Section Analysis, Timothy Robin York

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The objective of this study was to determine if faces which fit the golden sections as proposed by Ricketts were considered more esthetic to the layman than faces which did not fit the golden sections as well.

Frontal facial photographs of 92 individuals from the normal occlusion sample of Andrews were measured for facial proportions according to Ricketts application of the golden section. Seven facial proportions were computed from the photographs. Ten photographs were selected, five of males and five of females, representing a range of mean percent deviation from the golden section proportion (1.618). Randomly arranged sets of these …

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.
