Effects of Supervisor’s Presence on Staff Response to Tactile Prompts and Self-Monitoring in a Group Home SettingMowery, Judy M 08 July 2008 (has links)
Staff management research in group home settings has involved direct observation of staff performance during pre-treatment and treatment conditions. Collecting accurate research data is crucial to analyze treatment effects; however, reactivity to being observed has been cited as a limitation in several studies. The current study evaluated the use of a tactile prompt, self-monitoring, and feedback to increase positive interaction in a group home setting. Direct support professional staff were trained on the purpose and use of the MotivAider which provided tactile prompts to remind them to engage in positive client interaction. Reactivity was assessed by having a confederate observe staff positive interaction when the supervisor was present and when the supervisor was absent. The effects of supervisor presence were evaluated using an alternating treatment within a multiple baseline across participants' research design. Results showed that 2 of 4 participants increased positive interactions only when a supervisor was present and 2 other participants increased positive interaction only after receiving feedback.

Passing as Gray: Texas Confederate Soldiers' Body Servants and the Exploitation of Civil War MemoryElliott, Brian Alexander 05 1900 (has links)
This dissertation is an examination of the interactions of enslaved body servants with their Texas Confederate masters from the American Civil War through the early twentieth century. The seven chapters of this study follows the story of these individuals from the fires of the Civil War, through the turbulence of Reconstruction in Texas, the codification of "Lost Cause" memory in the American South, and the exploitation of that memory by both former body servants and their ex-Confederate counterparts. This study demonstrates that the primary experience of blacks in the Confederate service was not as soldiers, but as enslaved laborers and body servants. Body servants, or camp slaves, were physically and in some cases emotionally close to their enslavers in this war-time environment and played an important part in Confederate logistics and camp life. As freed peoples after the war, former body servants found ways to use the bonds forged during the war and the flawed ideas of Lost Cause memory as a means to navigate the brutal realities of life in post-Civil War Texas. By manipulating white conceptions of former body servants as "black Confederates," some African Americans effectively "passed as gray," an act that earned money, social recognition, and a semblance of security denied to African Americans that did not have any association to former Confederates. This study further reorients how scholars in the twenty-first century examine the myth of the "black Confederate" from simply a lie propagated by whites to validate their memory of the Civil War to a lens that can reveal yet another avenue through which dauntless African Americans used to survive, and in some cases thrive, in the depths of Jim Crow rule in the American South.

Book Review of Confederate Outlaw: Champ Ferguson and the Civil War in AppalachiaNash, Steven 01 November 2012 (has links)

Excerpt:
Civil War scholars have produced a number of noteworthy studies of guerrilla warfare in recent years. These historians have reassessed the origins of guerrilla violence, its impact on local communities, its role in the overall war effort, and some of its notorious figures. In Confederate Outlaw: Champ Ferguson and the Civil War in Appalachia, Brian D. McKnight addresses not only the infamous guerrilla Champ Ferguson but also the larger context of the war in southern Appalachia. The author argues that fluid loyalties, extreme paranoia, and opportunism defined Ferguson's war in the Upper Cumberland region [...]

“The Devil Let Loose Generally”: James W. Hunnicutt’s Conceptualization of the Union in FredericksburgNash, Steven 01 January 2018 (has links)
Excerpt: Fredericksburg buzzed with excitement on 29 August 1862. The end of four months of federal occupation was imminent, and the town’s mostly pro-Confederate residents rejoiced over the rumored approach of soldiers in gray. Around 5 p.m., a panicked horseman sped through the town’s dirt roads to the home of James W. Hunnicutt, a forty-seven-year-old Baptist minister and newspaper editor whose stern features, wrinkled brow, and graying hair lent to an already strong physical resemblance to abolition zealot John Brown. Both Hunnicutt and his friend knew that the restoration of Confederate control meant trouble for the clergyman. Hastily, the editor gathered what few items he could carry and left his wife and children. Elvira Samuel Hunnicutt promised to “pray constantly” for her husband without knowing when—or if—she might see him again. Few of his white neighbors shared her concern. Men and women, even children, shouted “Traitor!”, “Abolitionist!”, “Submissionist!” as Hunnicutt and roughly fifty other residents fled across a temporary bridge with the retreating Federals [...]

Evaluating the effectiveness of behavioral skills training to increase stranger safety skills in adults with intellectual disabilitiesMeyers, Lauren M. 09 August 2022 (has links) (PDF)
Several research studies have suggested that individuals with ID are at an increased risk of being a target of victimization (Hughes et al., 2012; Wilson et al.,1992). Therapists, caregivers, primary care providers, and school staff may also undervalue or fail to teach critical safety skills early in childhood or in the adolescent years, which increases risk of victimization in adulthood (Dembo et al., 2018). The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness, generalizability, and maintenance of the use of behavior skills training to teach stranger safety skills to young adults with intellectual disabilities. Specifically, a two-step safety response in the presence of a lure from a stranger. Overall, the current study’s results demonstrate that the intervention was effective at teaching this population stranger safety skills. Results of the current study also suggest that the target skill was generalizable across settings and maintained at a 13 week follow up. Furthermore, the intervention was rated high for social validity among most participants. Future studies should continue to explore the effectiveness, generalizability, and maintenance of these results.

Previous issue date: 2011-08-29 / Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie / The only moviment of North-American immigration happened between the years 1866 and 1890 to Brazil. After the civil war, a great number of families from the north of the US headed to Brazil looking for a new home. Some regions took those immigrants, creating the immigrant colonies. The colony that has succeeded and has developed the most was the once which has established itself in the region of Campinas, in the cities of Americana and Santa Bárbara d‟Oeste in the state of São Paulo. Those immigrants were mostly protestants. Their arrival has contributed to the development of the region in several aspects. Nobody can deny the fact that the presence of the American colony in the region has contributed abundantly with the introduction of machines and agricultural equipments to the racional and productive development of the existent crops. This presence has also contributed to the implantation and expansion of the Protestantism in the region. / O único movimento de imigração de norte-americanos aconteceu entre os anos de 1866 a 1890 para o Brasil. Após o fim da guerra da secessão, inúmeras famílias do sul dos Estados Unidos rumaram para o Brasil procurando um novo lar. Algumas regiões acolheram esses imigrantes, formando colônias de imigrantes. Contudo, a que logrou êxito e se desenvolveu foi a que se estabeleceu na região de Campinas, mas precisamente nas cidades de Americana e Santa Bárbara
d‟Oeste, no interior do Estado de São Paulo. Estes imigrantes eram quase todos de origem protestante. Sua chegada na região contribuiu para o desenvolvimento da região em vários aspectos. É fato incontestável que a presença da colônia americana na região contribuiu em muito com a introdução de máquinas e equipamentos agrícolas no desenvolvimento racional e produtivo das lavouras existentes. Esta presença contribuiu também com a implantação e expansão do protestantismo na região. Assim, a educação, a agricultura, o comércio, a indústria e a religião, vão receber a influência desta presença norte-americana.
