...The effects of music on children and young people. 1. The effect of music on IQ Campabello, Nicolette; De Carlo, Mary Jane; O'Neil, Jean; Vacek, Mary Jill Music Enhances Learning. Dissertations/Theses; Tests/Questionnaires. 2002 An action research project implemented musical strategies to affect and enhance student recall and memory. The target population was three suburban elementary schools near a major midwestern city: (1) a kindergarten classroom contained 32-38 students; (2) a second grade classroom contained 23 students and five Individualized Education Program (IEP) students; and (3) a fifth grade classroom. Students exhibited difficulty recalling facts and information in a variety of subject areas evidenced through an inability to gain mastery of grade level skill areas. Research suggests that young students have difficulty understanding concepts and lack the ability and desire to learn. A successful program needs to be developed to teach these concepts. A review of solution strategies suggests that the following musical techniques proved to be helpful for increasing student recall because the songs helped with phonemic training, mnemonics, setting desired skills to familiar tunes, and linking connection to cultural themes. Research has shown that preschool children taught with an early exposure to music through games and songs showed an IQ advantage of 10 to 20 points over those children taught without exposure to the songs. In the same study, students at age...

...Staffing on the Inpatient Psychiatric Unit at the University of Virginia Hospital University of Virginia School of Nursing Margaret Halladay, Lillian McDonough, Chelsea Bateman, Olivia Robison, Elizabeth Whitsett, Hannah Knabe, Janie Rhodes, and Fangzhong Luo On our honor, as UVA students, we have neither given nor received aid on this assignment. Margaret Halladay, Lillian McDonough, Chelsea Bateman, Olivia Robison, Elizabeth Whitsett, Hannah Knabe, Janie Rhodes, and Fangzhong Luo Introduction The nursing students working on 5E, the psychiatric unit at the University of Virginia, identified patient safety as a clinical problem related to inadequate staffing. Previous research revealed that 63% of the staff on this unit identified that inadequate staffing greatly affected patient safety. In order to research this issue further, the nursing students developed a follow-up survey that would help to identify the aspects of patient safety that are most affected. By understanding which aspects of patient safety create an issue on this unit, the group will develop an intervention with increasing safety as the expected outcome. Safety on this unit is difficult to measure because the unit does not face the same problems that staff encounter on Medical Surgical Units. One way to measure safety on 5E is to review the number of patient falls. Data was obtained that revealed in November of 2012, 5E reported the most falls of any unit in the hospital. Other safety markers...

...Invitro evaluation and optimization of controlled release chitosan beads of Metformin hydrochloride Manjisa Choudhury, Tanaya Sarma, Samridh Srivastava, Vino S. School of Bio Sciences and Technology, VIT University, Vellore - 632014, Tamil Nadu, India manji.choudhury@gmail.com; +91-9626413610 Abstract Beads of chitosan, in the free and metformin HCl encapsulated forms were prepared by Chitosan/ TPP polyelectrolyte complex. The particles were further stabilized by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. The size of the particles was found to be in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 mm. Both free and metformin HCL encapsulated Chitosan beads were analyzed by FTIR, Differential Scanning Calorimetry and X-ray diffraction studies. The rate of drug release was investigated by in vitro dissolution studies using UV spectroscopy. The results indicate that these Crosslinked chitosan beads are capable of controlled and sustained release of meformin HCL upto a maximum time of 12 h in PBS at pH 7.4. Keywords: Chitosan, Metformin HCl, Controlled drug delivery, In-Vitro release. Introduction Large number of active compounds is discovered that could serve as therapeutics but very few candidates show clinical success. Their poor activity in vivo is often due to the reason of their low bioavailability. Bioavailability is basically the rate and the extent at which a drug enters and affects the target tissue (Kidane, 2005). When a drug is administered systemically, its bioavailability is...

...psychotherapy’s birth were dominated by psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches and its practice was largely restricted to physicians (Miller, Hubble, Chow & Seidel, 2013). Psychotherapy’s arrival was not unnoticed from opposing schools of thought who were quick to question its scientific basis. Traditionally Eysenck (1952) not only challenged psychotherapy’s efficacy but also argued that it was “potentially harmful” (Miller, Hubble, Chow & Seidel, 2013:88). However, supporters of psychotherapy refuted Eysenck’s (1952) view and debate surrounding the fields worth began to accumulate. As a result psychotherapy research for the next few decades would focus on determining whether therapy was effective (House & Loewenthal, 2009). Subsequently, a plethora of studies that demonstrated its efficacy emerged (Smith Miller & Glass, 1980; Lambert & Bergin, 1994; Ahn & Wampold, 2001). So much so, that early studies revealed the treated population fared much better in comparison to their untreated counterparts (Sparks, Duncan & Miller, 2008:1; Asay & Lambert, 1999). The finding that psychotherapy is effective was further supported by “more abstract” mathematical summaries of empirical data (Asay & Lambert, 1999:24) Meta-analysis is just that a mathematical technique that is frequently used to produce estimates of the size of any treatment effects (Asay & Lambert, 1999:24).

The Hispanic people were found to have a high rate of obesity and other health related problems. From looking the different social, cultural, behavioral, environmental, and economic aspects, obesity, and chronic diseases impact not only individuals and families but society as a whole.
