The Pediatric Motor Activity Log-Revised: Assessing Real World Arm Use in Children With Cerebral Palsy A Literary Review Mariah Nichols Psychology 232-01 J. Whitaker October 27, 2013 Uswatte at el. (Use all the authors names the first time and always include the date) set out to improve, and find the accuracy, of the Pediatric Motor Activity Log-Revised (PMAL-R) when compared to other measurements, such as the Motor Activity Log (MAL), used on adults. The MAL has patients rate their ability to perform 30 activities, designed for use of the upper extremities, with the arm that is more affected. The MAL tends to be more accurate because the patient is reporting the usage versus the caregiver that gives the report in the PMAL-R. “. . .four developments have contributed to the generation of methods for assessing activity of an impaired upper extremity in daily life” (p 149). Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) supports the movement of upper limbs to help improve arm use. CIMT has been proven to be more beneficial than compensatory tactics, and patients using CIMT have shown greater brain plasticity (include name and date, p. 149). The researchers here wanted to interview the participants in person rather than via a paper survey. This is the way the test was meant to be performed, and they felt...

...Computer Intrusion Forensics Research Paper Nathan Balon Ronald Stovall Thomas Scaria CIS 544 Abstract The need for computer intrusion forensics arises from the alarming increase in the number of computer crimes that are committed annually. After a computer system has been breached and an intrusion has been detected, there is a need for a computer forensics investigation to follow. Computer forensics is used to bring to justice, those responsible for conducting attacks on computer systems throughout the world. Because of this the law must be follow precisely when conducting a forensics investigation. It is not enough to simple know an attacker is responsible for the crime, the forensics investigation must be carried out in a precise manner that will produce evidence that is amicable in a court room. For computer intrusion forensics many methodologies have been designed to be used when conducting an investigation. A computer forensics investigator also needs certain skills to conduct the investigation. Along with this, the computer forensics investigator must be equipped with an array of software tools. With the birth of the Internet and networks, the computer intrusion has never been as significant as it is now. There are different preventive measures available, such as access control and authentication, to attempt to prevent intruders. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are developed to detect an intrusion as it occurs, and to execute countermeasures when detected...

...turn 12 (Entrepreneur.com). What we do with that time is often the cause of why we work more than the scheduled 8 hours. Some complain that Time Management is a waste of time in itself. However, this is proven untrue once you have a functional system in place that tracks exactly what you are doing with your time. Often following the tips that will be listed cuts away wasted time and gives you more time for creativity and production. Tip: To get use to tracking your work day actions, create a simple Time Log. Start doing this for a few days to a week. Figure 1 shows a sample time log. You want to log the time of all your actions, what category does it fall under (create a category list that fits your work), the activity, set priority for everything action then how much time was spent. The way to calculate where time is wasted is to compare the minutes used to the priority.

...Curriculum. JPPSS Implementation of Activities in the Classroom Incorporation of activities into lesson plans is critical to the successful implementation of the Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum. The Comprehensive Curriculum indicates one way to align instruction with Louisiana standards, benchmarks, and grade-level expectations. The curriculum is aligned with state content standards, as defined by grade-level expectations (GLEs), and organized into coherent, time-bound units with sample activities and classroom assessments to guide teaching and learning. The units in the curriculum have been arranged so that the content to be assessed will be taught before the state testing dates. While teachers may substitute equivalent activities and assessments based on the instructional needs, learning styles, and interests of their students, the Comprehensive Curriculum should be a primary resource when planning instruction. Grade level expectations—not the textbook—should determine the content to be taught. Textbooks and other instructional materials should be used as resource in teaching the grade level expectations. Lesson plans should be designed to introduce students to one or more of the activities, to provide background information and follow-up, and to prepare students for success in mastering the Grade-Level Expectations associated with the activities. Lesson plans should address individual...

...forego profitable ventures if they anticipate them to be risky (Guay, 1999, Jensen & Meckling, 1976). Making the salary structure more convex by introducing more option-based compensation and stock awards is one way owners try to align the goals of the managers with the owners. But managerial wealth attached to the firm is only a fraction of their total personal wealth in the portfolio. Other components of manager’s total wealth could be stocks owned in other companies, real estate portfolio, and other debt related securities. A lot of research has been done in the past explaining how managerial compensation structure (options, stock awards etc.) affect his risk taking abilities (Knopf et al. 2002, Rogers, 2002, etc.). But not much research has been done showing how manager’s outside wealth affects his risk taking in the firm. As far as we know, the only paper that has looked at this relationship is by Elsila et al. 2013 but that paper only looked at the Swedish listed firms. They found that higher the proportion of the CEOs wealth to the firm, more risk averse the manager would be. Similar to them, we would be using the “wealth ratio” variable, which is defined as the proportion of the manager’s total personal wealth invested in the company. It has been shown in the previous literature that higher delta corresponds to more risk taking and higher Vega of option...

...| UNIX Performance Monitoring | My Research Paper | Student: Dwayne Blanchard Instructor: Professor Cliff KrahenbillAdvanced UNIX AdministrationMarch 3, 2012 | | | | | | The topic of my research paper will be on UNIX performance monitoring. The reason for choosing this topic is for personal understanding on how much UNIX performance monitoring differs from the monitoring of Windows based computers. This research paper is not to compare the two systems but to gain an understanding of how UNIX monitors performance. I don’t have any personal experience with working with UNIX systems, but as always eager to gain insight of different operating systems. The first thing I would like to discover is some of the common performance problems encountered caused by software, hardware and the combination of the two, the different terminologies associated with the processes via hardware or software, and finally what different utilities are used for monitoring these problems. We all know that UNIX has been around since the early 1970’s and the developments of performance tools have been around for a long time to enable system administrators in tuning systems for optimal performance. Operating systems performance problems normally involves process management, memory management, and scheduling. The object of performance on UNIX based systems is to determine the amount of time the operating system spends during scheduling...

This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Learning by Supplying Juan Alcacer Harvard Business School Joanne Oxley Rotman School of Management University of Toronto Abstract Learning processes lie at the heart of our understanding of how firms build capabilities to generate and sustain competitive advantage: learning by doing, learning by exporting, learning from competitors, users, and alliance partners. In this paper we focus attention on another locus of learning that has received less attention from academics despite popular interest: learning by supplying. Using a detailed panel dataset on supply relationships in the mobile telecommunications industry, we address the following questions: What factors contribute to a firm’s ability to learn by supplying and build technological and market capabilities? Does it matter to whom the firm supplies? Is involvement in product design important, or is manufacturing the key locus of learning? How does a supplier’s initial resource endowment play into the dynamic? Our empirical analysis yields interesting findings that have implications for theory and practice, and that suggest new directions for future research. 1 Learning by...
