This straightforward guide for new and practicing supervisors emphasizes the attainment of skills necessary to effectively supervise others in a variety of settings. Topics covered include the roles and responsibilities of supervisors, the supervisory relationship, models and methods of supervision, becoming a multiculturally competent supervisor, ethical and legal issues in supervision, managing crisis situations, and evaluation in supervision. User-friendly tips, case examples, sample forms, questions for reflection, and group activities are included throughout the text, as are contributing supervisors' Voices From the Field and the authors' Personal Perspectives-making this an interactive learning tool that is sure to keep readers interested and involved.

abstract: The main objective of this research project is to expand the bassoon repertoire with the addition of three pieces. The first composition, Rust for bassoon and piano, was written by Christopher Marchant and is six minutes in duration; august, for woodwind quartet (flute, oboe, B-flat clarinet, and bassoon) was composed by Matthew Triplett and is four minutes in duration; the third composition, Rhapsody for woodwind quartet, was written by Conor Anderson and is six minutes in duration. The present document includes background information and a performance guide for each of the commissioned works. The performance guide provides recommendations and tips to aid musicians in preparing these works. This document also contains transcripts of interviews with each composer and performer. Finally, this document is accompanied by a recording of each piece. / Dissertation/Thesis / Christopher Marchant - Rust / Matthew Triplett - august, I. wake / Matthew Triplett - august, II. cicada breath / Conor Anderson - Rhapsody / Doctoral Dissertation Performance 2019

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of surgical guides for dental implant placement fabricated by additive and subtractive techniques. Methods: A standardized mandible model (BoneModels, Castellón, Spain) was duplicated and the proposed implant position was performed from a diagnostic wax-up. An implant was placed in the printed model as a reference. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was made with the radiographic surgical guide to design a surgical guide on BlueSky Plan 4 software. The .stl file of the surgical guide was exported and fabricated by two different techniques: additive (3D printing) and subtractive (milling). Fifteen surgical guides per group were used to place implants in the printed models. The angular deviations, differences in depth, coronal and apical deviations were measured using GeoMagic Control X software. Results were analyzed by Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney (Wilcoxon Rank Sum) test and PERMANOVA (Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance). Intraclass correlation was used to analyze the reproducibility. A 0.05 level of significance was used, with Bonferroni multiple adjustment as needed. Results: There were no significant differences in accuracy of implant placement using additive technique vs subtractive techniques. The mean angular deviations between planned and actual position of implant in mesio-distal cross-section were 0.780±0.803 degrees for printed group and 0.772±0.724 degrees for the milled group. The analogous results in bucco-lingual cross-section were 1.601±1.223 degrees in in printed group and 1.767±0.762 degrees in the milled group. The differences in depth (mm) were measured in four aspects including mesial, distal, buccal and lingual. The mean differences in depth in the group that using printed surgical guides were 0.373±0.285 mm, 0.325±0.230 mm, 0.240±0.228 mm, and 0.247±0.168 mm in those 4 aspects, respectively. The mean differences in depth in the group that using milled surgical guides were 0.511±0.326 mm, 0.396±0.316 mm, 0.215±0.230 mm, and 0.230±0.122 mm in those four aspects, respectively. The mean coronal deviation showed 0.32 mm in the printed group and 0.27 mm in the milled group. For the apical deviation, the results of this study showed mean apical deviation 0.84 mm in the printed group and 0.80 mm in the milled group. Conclusions: No statistically significant difference was identified between the position of implant placed using surgical guide fabricated by the additive technique (3D printing) vs surgical guides fabricated by subtractive technique (milling). The 3D-printed surgical guide could be an alternative for guided-implant surgery with the benefits of high accuracy, ease of fabrication and reduction of laboratory time and materials, thereby increasing cost-effectiveness.

This project provides International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions, translations and a vocal pedagogical analysis of “Six Songs of Poetry by Gellert” by Ludwig van Beethoven. There is discussion of technical concepts applicable to singing, vocal relationships between text and poetry; and background information concerning Ludwig van Beethoven, Christian Gellert, and Christian Neefe. This document addresses possible vocal challenges a baritone might encounter when studying the Gellert Lieder. This guide provides suggestions for vowel modification in the passaggio, as well as a section dedicated to appoggio, aggiustamento, and vocal registration. Finally, this research provides a concise preparation for performance manual for singers and teachers of singing to use in the vocal studio.

This study provides a performance guide to the nine song settings of Mother Goose Lyrics and Mother Goose Lyrics II by American composer Richard Faith (b. 1926). Included is a biography of the composer. The primary purpose is to provide analysis that shows that these nine songs are accessible to undergraduate singers and that these are arguably Faith’s most approachable songs for the young singer. As is pertinent to each individual song the discussion may include information on the poetry, musical form, textual support, pedagogical issues, harmonic progressions, melodic ideas, rhythmic devices, character analysis, as well as information on text setting devices. This is accomplished through the author’s own analysis and study of Faith’s songs, interviews with the composer, and references to the three other dissertations covering Faith’s song compositions. This performance guide will provide an introduction to Richard Faith and his musical style, as well as provide a tool for teachers and singers seeking performance practice guidance.

Despite the many weight loss options available, the majority of overweight and obese individuals who try to lose or maintain weight loss are unsuccessful. This lack of success has been the focus of extensive research. In an attempt to develop more effective modalities, researchers have identified several predictors of weight loss success. However, the efficacy of diets is still limited. For many, this lack of weight loss success may be due to issues such as depression, loneliness, anxiety, lack of support, or other environmental factors that may be imperceptibly related to food and exercise. Repeated dieting failures may produce feelings of deprivation, low self-esteem, reduced self-efficacy, and dietary rebellion. For these individuals, a more holistic approach to addressing weight-related issues may be more effective and is the impetus for the development of this project. This project was developed utilizing several previously identified predictors of weight loss success, holistic and weight loss models, along with several self-help lay publications. This resulted in the development of a unique, holistic, self-care guide that is easily individualized and based on personal weight management needs. Individuals can potentially identify their unique physical, emotional, and spiritual motives for overeating or lack of physical activity, and design their own plan of action; potentially providing themselves with a new level of health and happiness not previously realized.
