<p> Students with special needs are required by law to have an individualized education plan based on their unique educational needs. Special education teachers understand these needs and provide students with instructional strategies that allow them to succeed. Music has often been used to provide students with disabilities alternative ways to learn new content; however, the use of music integration therapy in the special education setting as well as its impact on the engagement behaviors on students with special needs is not widely documented in current educational research.

Abstract:

Patient geometry often changes during the course of radiation therapy due to factors such as weight loss, tumor and normal tissue growth or shrinkage, and intra-treatment position variations. It has been shown that these changes can cause the dose delivered to differ from the originally planned dose distribution. Often this will result in the need to create a modified treatment plan, a process known as adaptive radiation therapy. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the dosimetric effects due to anatomical changes and positioning variations during intensity-modulated radiation therapy through

Abstract:

The management of patients failing second line antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a critical area of study considering the increasing numbers of patients on second line regimens, and the expense and poor availability of third line ART. Most patients who experience virologic failure (VF) on second line ART in low-middle income countries fail due to poor adherence rather than antiretroviral resistance. Pharmacy refill is an easily implementable adherence measure which has shown to correlate with viral load monitoring and survival, and has potential over the short term to be used as a simple adheren

Adherence to prescribed medications is a central feature of good clinical HIV care and a key factor in determining the effectiveness of treatment. This is especially true for HIV-infected patients, on antiretroviral treatment, where adherence is strongly associated with survival.

Clinical trials have demonstrated a benefit of isoniazid preventive therapy in preventing TB among HIV-infected persons, and its use among these patients is recommended.

The work presented in this thesis is focused on the study of Polypurine Reverse Hoogsteen hairpins (PPRHs) as gene silencing tools. PPRHs are double-stranded DNA molecules formed by tvvo anti parallel homopurine domains linked by a 5-thymidine loop, which form intramolecular reverse Hoogsteen bonds. Previously in our lab it was demonstrated that these molecules bind to their pyrimidine target sequence, and induce the displacement of the purine strand, at settings similar to physiological conditions (Coma et aJ. 200S).

Abstract:

Physiotherapy is a key part of treatment for neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, which affect millions in the U.S. each year. Physical therapy treatments typically consist of an initial diagnostic session during which patients’ impairments are assessed and exercises are prescribed to improve the impaired functions. As part of the treatment program, exercises are often assigned to be performed at home daily. Patients return to the clinic weekly or biweekly for check-up visits during which the physical therapist reassesses their condition and makes further treatment decisions, including

Abstract:

Human trafficking is prevalent globally, nationally and locally. In the state of Florida, there are many victims of domestic and international human trafficking. Therapists work in settings where they come in contact with victims of human trafficking while they are still in captivity. However, many therapists lack the training and resources to identify victims of human trafficking in the therapeutic setting, and so many of these victims go unidentified. While there are several human trafficking identification tools, none are designed exclusively for therapists to identify both international an

Topical Negative Pressure therapy is in widespread use in the management of acute and chronic cutaneous wounds. The mechanisms of action are not fully understood, but are likely to be multifactorial. Experience of this therapy is based on a number of clinical series, case reports and some animal studies. There is a lack of direct evidence to determine its mechanisms of action and to support its clinical efficacy in human wound healing. This problem stems partly from difficulties in applying selective negative pressure to open exudative wounds. A new approach was required in applying this techn

Abstract:

<p>This study utilised secondary data from a larger study that looked at individuals that are already infected by HIV which is entitled Implicative personal dilemmas and cognitive conflicts in health decision making in HIV positive adults and adults with AIDS. The primary aim of the larger study was to examine the cognitive construction of the individual and how they utilised their individual resources to construct who they are and how they perceived the difficulties and challenges that they face and the decisions they make regarding their health. HIV and AIDS is a debilitating disease and it

Abstract:

Genetic mutations can cause a wide range of diseases, e.g. cancer. Gene therapy has the potential to alleviate or even cure these diseases. One of the many gene therapies developed so far is RNA-cleaving deoxyribozymes, short DNA oligonucleotides that specifically bind to and cleave RNA. Since the development of these synthetic catalytic oligonucleotides, the main way of determining their cleavage kinetics has been through the use of a laborious and error prone gel assay to quantify substrate and product at different time-points. We have developed two new methods for this purpose. The first on

Abstract:

This qualitative study investigated bringing Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) tools and understandings (Ryle & Kerr, 2002) into a time-limited (16 sessions) interactive, here-and-now, group therapy (Yalom,1985). Group members were not exposed to CAT or individual work with the two facilitators prior to the group. The study investigated the group members’ experience, particularly in respect of the CAT tools; the facilitators’ experience of integrating CAT tools and understandings into the group; and the adaptations made to use the CAT tools in the group. The six group members were all service u

Borderlands. A study of the aesthetic-practical environment, its pedagogical and therapeutical properties based on the outline of two practices/institutions: the workshops at Hagastiftelsen and the bookbindery at the Kristofferschool. The perspective on education, pedagogy and therapy taken is an existential one where the main aims of an educational-therapeutic intervention is to support biographical development and integrity. In the process action research in my own bookbinding workshop as well as hermeneutic research at the workshops at Hagastiftelsen where adults with autism and other neuro

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: 3D virtual environments can be used as therapy tools in patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs); however, the development of such tools is time-consuming. A 3D virtual environment development platform for such tools has been developed specifically for the South African context, because of the language and culture sensitivity of these therapy tools. The 3D virtual environment development platform has a Lua scripting interface for specifying logic in the virtual environments. Lua is a textual programming language, an

Thesis (MSc (Computer Science))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this thesis is to develop a generic 3D virtual environment development platform for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) therapy tools. The potential of using computerised therapy tools for ASD therapy is well known. However, the development of such tools is expensive and time-consuming, and is language and culture speci c. This work intends to alleviate these problems. The design of the platform is based on known game engine designs, but adapted for the requirements of ASD therapy tools. It supp
