Singing Ourselves InKing, Anna-Leah 22 October 2007
In a qualitative study, grade three students in an urban classroom were introduced to Aboriginal children's picture-storybooks followed by "menoh," which are literary response activities. "Menoh" is defined as aesthetics, although, in this study "menoh" activities stem from Anishnabe and Cree cultural ways such as in traditional singing, dance, drumming, art and cooking.<p>
The researcher used a reframing as a decolonizing methodology in order to reclaim Aboriginal voice and perspective. Reframing is taking greater control over the way Aboriginal research is structured, analyzed and written. The research data was collected over a period of several months within the classroom where the researcher read aloud and drew Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal listeners into the multi-layers of the stories. Through dialogue and critique, the students discussed the stories in literary circles. They shared meanings about the stories and made connections to their own lives and the lives of others. The stories contained messages about loyalty, respect, responsibility, honesty, humility, trust, and sharing-all those qualities that helped Aboriginal people live the life they did and still do today. Discussion was followed by a variety of "menoh," activities that introduced aesthetic ways of knowing from an Aboriginal perspective.

A Comparison of Direct and Indirect Contingencies of Reinforcement for Teaching Advanced Receptive SkillsCzerwonka, Catherine 01 January 2012 (has links)
An important variable not often examined in the literature is the relationship between target behaviors and their reinforcers. Previous research has demonstrated faster acquisition rates of simple receptive and imitative skills when the reinforcer used was part of the behavior chain that it reinforced. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of a direct reinforcement contingency to teach pairs of advanced receptive skills with three children with autism. During the indirect reinforcement condition, the therapist reinforced correct responding by handing the child an edible reinforcer. During the direct reinforcement condition, the reinforcer was located under the container displaying the correct response. Results showed that no participant reached mastery criterion regardless of the reinforcement contingency, although slightly higher levels of correct responding were observed during the direct reinforcement phase for all three participants on one skill.

Composition and Applications of Aloe vera Leaf GelHamman, JH 08 1900 (has links)
Many of the health benefits associated with Aloe vera have been attributed to
the polysaccharides contained in the gel of the leaves. These biological activities include promotion of wound healing, antifungal activity, hypoglycemic or antidiabetic effects antiinflammatory,
anticancer, immunomodulatory and gastroprotective properties. While the
known biological activities of A. vera will be briefly discussed, it is the aim of this review to further highlight recently discovered effects and applications of the leaf gel. These effects include the potential of whole leaf or inner fillet gel liquid preparations of A. vera
to enhance the intestinal absorption and bioavailability of co-administered compounds as well as enhancement of skin permeation. In addition, important pharmaceutical applications such as the use of the dried A. vera gel powder as an excipient in sustained release pharmaceutical dosage forms will be outlined.

Comparison of physical activities among Beninese adolescents attending schools in rural, suburban and urban areas.Gouthon, P, Falola, JM, Aremou, M, Dagba, J, Tossou, J, Legba, J, Brisswalter, J, Amusa,LO, Toriola, AL 06 1900 (has links)
The main objective of this study was to compare
the daily physical activities of secondary school
students living in South- West Benin Republic,
depending on whether they live in rural, suburban
or urban areas. An investigation through a written
and self-administered questionnaire was carried
out from April to June 2004 on 678 students
made up of 467 boys and 211 girls, aged 13 to 23
years old, regarding their movement modes,
physical sports practices and other utilitarian
activities. The data were analysed using
descriptive and inferential statistics. The results
showed that the percentages of students who go
on foot or ride bicycles for long distances or a
long time duration, and those who participate in
physical training as well as practice utilitarian
activities on weekly basis respectively, are far
higher for students in the rural locations than for
students in the other two locations, that is,
suburban and urban areas. On the whole the
highest proportion of students who engage in
physical activities consisting of riding bicycles,
traveling on foot, doing physical sports and
utilitarian activities are found among students
living in rural areas, followed by students in
suburban and urban locations. These results are
discusses in terms of their relationships with
atherogenous risk factors.
