...Children with Cerebral Palsy Grand Canyon University: NRS-433V Introduction to Nursing Research Dr. Diana Naser Various Treatments for Children with Cerebral Palsy First Quantitative Study Honkavaara, M., Rintala, P., (2010), The influence of short term, intensive hippotherapy on gait in children with cerebral palsy. European Journal of Adapted Physical Activity, 3(2), 29- 36. Retrieved from: http://eds.b.ebscohost.com/eds/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=a73e5036- 0d8e-4cc4-97c5-ec0c3cbd1e4a%40sessionmgr115&vid=32&hid=104 Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short term hippotherapy on functional gait changes in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Participants were two boys (ages 12 and 13) with spastic diplegia and a girl (14 yrs) with athetoid CP. Single-subject (ABA) design was used to determine quantitative changes in functional gait parameters (velocity, stride length, and cadence) following three weeks of hippotherapy. The two boys demonstrated improvement in stride length and gait velocity without sustained improvement in cadence. There was increase in stride length and cadence, but most noticeable improvements in velocity for the girl. The results indicated that it is possible that short-term hippotherapy may improve functional gait in children with cerebral palsy Second Quantitative Study Galli, M., Cimolin, V., Valente, E., Crivellini, M., Ialongo, T., Albertini, G.

...is young clothing brand – Urban Outfitters (UO). The brand is now famous for its music relations – their Vynil records sales are a major part of UO’s inventory. It already has the mobile app that works as an in-app online shop, it also collects a lot of data about the users, though, many users still prefer to use the original website for online shopping. Urban Outfitters doesn’t just sell the outfits, it also sells life-style: the beauty of being young, hipster-ish, stylish freedom. And this things are directly correlated to music tastes. I would suggest to buld in the app the music player, that will suggest different outfits on the basis of the music people like, as well as suggest music on the basis of the clothes people choose. Partnering with the streaming services – I would choose Deezer, since it is new to American market and also needs advertising partners. UO also can launch a commercial campaign on Deezer in the way of pre-roll audio that shows the method of clothing-music binding and gives the viewer download app immediately. I would also add audio insert message advertising UO in Spotify app when user chooses particular playlists (like Indie music, all mood-based playlists, etc.). I wouls also try programmatic ad-buying platform for the UO, since it is good at identifying target audience. And UO fans are really particular audience that is easyly identified by age, life-style, music preferences, household income, geographics, level of education, type of job. Thanks...

...1) sources of competitive advantage. The CP of Apple can be described as a closed computersystem with an easy and ready for OS, offering great functionality in an attractive design: sources: • unique / non-licensed OS • complete and aligned box instead of separated hardware and software configuration • distinctive design from industry standard • connectivity with peripherals These resources have been stable over time and actually increased into other areas. Connectivity expanded into Itunes (content) and Itunes (desktop) and herewith connecting valuable content to multiple devices. The consumer got connected as all his digital touchpoints become integrated. The design has changed during the years but remained different from competitors and is now being copied. The complete box evolved into an Apple based Ecosystem. The OS expanded to a software infrastructure connecting content and devices. In addition it created the new industry of apps. 2) structure + profitability motivations (suggestion is to set this into a diagram, porter) PC • increasing demand (internet and upcoming economies) • increasing commodity market with interchangeable components • low willingness to pay for customers • multiple distribution channels which are easy accessible • choice is largely made on price and changing distribution channels (online, direct from manufacturer, retail etc.) • PC's did not change fundamentally but increased in technology.

...Introduction It is very likely that, with the development from traditional commerce and marketing methods to the electronic commerce people can easily buy or sell both material and virtual products such as, software, books, music, movies on the Internet. Products are purchased through the Internet by electronic payment system. People can purchase products by using credit or debit card. However, for several small value products such as, a song in iTunes music store only cost 0.99$ or a mobile game only cost 3.99$, it could be hard to using credit or debit cards to purchase those products because of the fixed minimum transaction could be cost too expensive for small transactions (Turban, King, Lee & Liang, 2010). Therefore, a micro payment system is designed to handle those small payments. There are many online micropayment systems such as, PayPal, Millicent, Digicash, Cybercoin, Internet Dollar and many more. However, not all these companies succeed in handling micropayment and some companies were bankrupt for example, Millicent, Digicash. The aim of this paper is to compare several main characteristics of some popular micro payment systems then evaluate the success of micropayment system. This paper will begin with a definition of micro payment system, the characteristic of micropayment system. Next section is to describe how different micropayment systems work. The final section will evaluate the aspects deciding the success of micropayment system. Definition of micropayment...

...The impact of the 7 day Chicago Public School teacher strike is a complex problem for each stakeholder. City officials, principals, teachers, parents and children all voice their frustrations and positions regarding the teacher strike. The strike was positioned as Emanuel vs. Lewis, but Lewis was contending with a union that installed her in order to take a more active stance and Emanuel’s plan, at least from publicly, was similarly aggressive. Inevitably, Emanuel and Lewis would meet. Consensus is that the CTU won, but Lewis admits that the actual contractual gains are unsatisfactory to her and the union. CTU came through over two decades of insufficiently strong (for the membership's desires) leadership, and Lewis took over after a major power shift. The teachers union expect that in the course of a couple of years that the union would change its internal stance and that by electing a competent head achieve all its goals in an anti-union environment during a period of austerity, all while contending with a figure like Rahm Emanuel. CTU positioned itself for future battles, such as school closings, and fighting attempts of the mayor to eliminate unions, close to up 120 and open charter schools with non-unionized teachers. Delegates for the Chicago Teachers Union filed a 10 day strike notice on August 29, 2012 and the strike was official Monday, September 10, 2012. Now, one week after the new school year start the city experienced its first...

...already utilizes servers without shutting them down for maintenance and upgrades. With a NAS device, storage is not a vital part of the server. The server handles all of the processing of data but a NAS device delivers the data to the user. It does not need to be located within the server, but can exist anywhere in a LAN and can be made up of multiple NAS devices. (QuinStreet Enterprise , 2014) The speed of the network adapter on a NAS device can vary, depending on which one you buy. Your typical NAS device can run from 10 Mbps all the way to 1000 Mbps. The capacity range for a NAS device can range from a 1 TB all the way to 20 TB. This is 20,480 MB worth of data storage! With this large amount of data storage, you could store all your music, pictures, and videos in one device. (Best Buy, 2014) NAS Devices come with a built in fault tolerance called a RAID. RAID stands for “redundant array of independent disks”. With the help of RAID, you can tap into all of the storages on a NAS device all at once. A RAID array not only allows you to combine physical drives into a single storage unit, it also reserves a part of this combined space to create what’s known as a parity bit. (Murphy, 2011) A parity bit is a bit that is added to a block of data for error detection. It gives the data either an odd or even parity, which is used to confirm the truth of the data. (Tech Terms Computer Dictionary, 2011) Management features are also available for NAS devices. One feature is remote access...
