Two questions can be posed for study: 1) Will the effect of auditory masking provided by a clinical noise significantly affect the performance of hearing children on the Knox Cube Test? 2) Are there significant differences among brain-injured, mentally, retarded, and "normal" children in ability to adjust to auditory masking in the performance of the Knox Cube Test?

Introducción: La evaluación radiológica es la ayuda diagnostica más eficaz para poder evaluar al paciente y poder hacer un diagnóstico diferencial con otros cuadros de dolor abdominal agudo que pueden poder en riesgo la salud del paciente. Objetivos: Identificar cuáles son las características radiológicas más frecuentemente halladas en los síndromes de obstrucción intestinal debidamente certificados en la población infantil atendida por el servicio de emergencia del hospital de emergencias pediátricas durante el periodo Enero a Julio del año 2014, grupo etáreo que con más frecuencia desarrolla síndromes de obstrucción intestinal, incidencias radiológicas más frecuentemente y las causas etiológicas que con más frecuencia conllevan a un síndrome de obstrucción intestinal. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo transversal retrospectivo. Población a estudio: niños que acudieron al servicio de emergencias del Hospital Emergencias Pediátricas con diagnóstico de obstrucción intestinal durante el periodo Enero-Julio del año 2014. Resultados: Se revisaron historias clínicas de 74 pacientes con diagnóstico de obstrucción intestinal: la distribución de frecuencia de los grupos etáreos de niños con síndrome de obstrucción intestinal: <1 (23%), 1 a 5 (25.7%), 6 a 10 (29.7%) y >10 (21.6%). Distribución de frecuencia de los tipos de incidencia radiográfica: bipedestación 40 (54.7%), decúbito lateral 4 (5.3%), decúbito supino 29 (38.7%) e invertograma 1 (1.3%). Distribución de frecuencias de las causas etiológicas: impactación fecal: 44(59.5%), invaginación: 8(10.8%), bridas y adherencias: 6(8.1%), ano imperforado: 4(5.4), atresia (duodenal-ileal):2(2.7), íleo adinámico: 2(2.7%), Mal rotación intestinal: 3(4.1%). Distribución de frecuencias de las características radiológicas: Niveles hidroaéreos: 61(44.9%).Opacidad en marco colonico 45(33.1%) Conclusiones: El grupo etáreo más afectado por la obstrucción intestinal fue el grupo conformado por niños entre 6 a 10 años. El tipo de proyección radiográfica más usada para el diagnóstico del Síndrome obstructivo intestinal fue la Bipedestación. Las causas etiológicas más frecuentemente halladas fueron la impactación fecal. La características radiográfica más frecuentes hallados en los síndromes de obstrucción intestinal fueron los Niveles hidroaereos y las Opacidad en todo el marco colonico. / Introduction: Radiological evaluation is diagnosed more effective help to assess the patient and to make a differential diagnosis with other conditions of acute abdominal pain that can be a health risk to the patient. Objectives: To identify what the radiological characteristics most often found in intestinal obstruction syndromes duly certified in child population served by the hospital emergency service pediatric emergency during the period January to July 2014, age group most frequently develops intestinal obstruction syndromes, most frequently radiological incidents and etiological causes most frequently leading to intestinal obstruction syndrome. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive retrospective observational study. Study population: children presenting to the emergency room of the Pediatric Emergency Hospital with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction during the period January-July 2014. Results: medical records of 74 patients with diagnosis of intestinal obstruction: the frequency distribution the age groups of children with intestinal obstruction syndrome: <1 (23%), 1-5 (25.7%), 6-10 (29.7%) and> 10 (21.6%). Frequency distribution of the types of radiographic impact: standing 40 (54.7%), lateral decubitus 4 (5.3%), supine 29 (38.7%) and classical upside in January (1.3%). Frequency distribution of etiologies: fecal impaction: 44 (59.5%), intussusception 8 (10.8%), bridles and adhesions: 6 (8.1%), imperforate anus: 4 (5.4), atresia (duodenal-ileal): 2 (2.7), adynamic ileus: 2 (2.7%), intestinal rotation Mal: 3 (4.1%). Frequency distribution of the radiologic features: fluid levels: 61 (44.9%) Opacity in colonic frame 45 (33.1%). Conclusions: The age group most affected by bowel obstruction was the group formed by children between 6-10 years. The most used type of radiographic screening for diagnosis of intestinal obstruction syndrome was standing. The etiological causes were most frequently found fecal impaction. The most frequent radiographic features found in intestinal obstruction syndromes were the fluid levels and opacity in the entire large bowel. Keywords: Intestinal obstruction. Pediatrics.

A finite cover C of a group G is a finite collection of proper subgroups of G such that G is equal to the union of all of the members of C. Such a cover is called minimal if it has the smallest cardinality among all finite covers of G. The covering number of G, denoted by σ(G), is the number of subgroups in a minimal cover of G. Here we determine the covering numbers of the projective special unitary groups U3(q) for q ≤ 5, and give upper and lower bounds for the covering number of U3(q) when q > 5. We also determine the covering number of the McLaughlin sporadic simple group, and verify previously known results on the covering numbers of the Higman-Sims and Held groups. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2019. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Self-Determination Theory (SDT) research on goal pursuit indicates that people with intrinsic goal pursuits experience greater well-being than those with extrinsic goal pursuits. Three nutriments have been suggested by SDT that facilitate intrinsic motivation: autonomy, competence and relatedness. These nutriments, considered social conditions by SDT, have been understudied. However, recent SDT research and the small literature on goal support in relationships suggest that social aspects of goal pursuit are quite relevant and warrant further investigation. This study examined interpersonal dimensions of goal pursuit including Goal Support, Shared Goals, Communal Strength and Generativity. This interpersonal cluster was examined in the context of "active involvement with others" in order to enrich our understanding of the link between goal pursuit and psychological well-being. This study was the first to explore these interpersonal dimensions of goal pursuit and well-being in the context of SDT. Correlations explored the relationships among the interpersonal dimensions and regression analyses were used to explore moderating effects the interpersonal dimensions had on the relationship between self-concordant (intrinsic/extrinsic) goal pursuit and well-being. Shared goal orientation was the only dimension to act as a moderator. Implications include continuing to identify the active role of others in one's goal pursuits and adding further understanding to the relationship between goal pursuit and well-being.

This study examines the formation of a unique chromatic and formal language in Musica Ricercata by György Ligeti. The study begins by examining statements from an interview with Ligeti conducted by Ove Nordwall in 1979. The interview discusses his compositional experiments from the early 1950s, the period in which Musica Ricercata was composed. Working from Ligeti’s words, “simple structures” are defined as repeating formations of rhythms and intervals with easily discernable features. These features must be salient such that when the structure is altered, it is still clearly and audibly recognizable. The musical and political environment in Hungary at the time is established, providing context for this early experimentation with compositional parameters. The analysis begins with an overview of the entire work, outlining developments of pitch-class density, symmetrical pitch-class structures, and notated accelerandi over the course of the multi-movement work. Analyses of simple structures in each movement elucidate both Ligeti’s experimental approaches to chromaticism, along with more traditional aspects, with special reference to Bartók’s compositional style.
