Children with cerebral palsy suffer from primary abnormalities that affect their ability to control movement of body segments. There is evidence that the core (trunk and pelvis) of the body activates prior to the periphery (extremities) during human movement, and so improvement in controlling the core first, then the periphery, could lead to carrying out activities of daily living more effectively. Virtual rehabilitation is developing as a method for the training and assessment of movement function, with evidence suggesting games controlled by the periphery can lead to improvements in activities of daily living, but virtual rehabilitation on the core is scarce. Study One (feasibility study) assessed the changes in gait in response to a six week virtual reality intervention training the core in children with cerebral palsy diplegia (n = 5), using a laboratory based virtual reality system. Improvement in selective motor control of the core occurred after VR training, represented by increased VR game performance (maximum settled speed). Participants showed that single plane trunk movement was better controlled than cross plane trunk movement, trunk rotation was better controlled than trunk tilt, and the trunk was controlled better than the pelvis. Changes in game performance did not transfer to improvements in gait as measured using the Gait Deviation Index. Study Two used a portable virtual reality system in primary schools to train the core and periphery in children with cerebral palsy. A randomised, cross-over design on children with cerebral palsy (n = 8) found that VR game performance improved after receiving VR training, represented by an increase in maximum settled speed and a reduction in variation of pass distance. Single plane movement of the trunk was better controlled than cross plane movement during each assessment, ankle control was better than knee control at each assessment, and control of peripheral segments was better than control of core segments. There were no significant differences in performance of the sit -to-stand movement in response to core training (one week) followed by peripheral training (one week), or when training order was reversed. Overall, Study One and Study Two found no improvements in activities of daily living. Low levels of exposure to virtual reality training, inappropriate outcome measures, in addition to low sample sizes, may have reduced the effect on performance of activities of daily living. Study Two demonstrated that portable virtual reality training is feasible in schools, and can be provided on a daily basis to children with movement difficulties. Overall, the findings provide an important insight into virtual reality training aimed at improving control of the core and periphery in children with cerebral palsy.

This thesis focuses on the writings of Anant Kumar, an Indian author living in Germany and writing in German. It includes an introduction that examines the long history of literary interaction between Germany and the East. Particular attention is then devoted to two of Kumar's recurrent literary themes: "movement" with reference to progress and "the establishment of identity" through the use of language. Not only do Kumar's texts regularly describe being on the move and examine the intricacies of writing in a foreign language, but on a deeper level Kumar's writings also mirror the current state of Germany as it adjusts and adapts to its shifting international surroundings and inhabitants. Previous scholarly research in the field of German minority literature has been somewhat limited in that it has primarily explored the contributions of Turkish authors. In Kumar one recognizes a new wave of "foreign" writers who likewise deserve close attention and analysis.

This diploma thesis deals with problems which often occur during implementation of kaizen philosophy into economic practice in Czech environment. Many Czech companies that adopted this philosophy do not reach such good results, compared to companies in Japan. Czech employee's do not accept it in good way. Thus the target of this thesis is to find out possible causes of this unfavourable situation. In theoetical parts, kaizen phiosophy and other related factors such as organizational culture are described. Furthermore, most frequent kaizen practice and its most important effects are described well as a brief history of it in Japan, USA, and Czech. Real implementations of kaizen in three companies in Czech Republic are analyzed in empirical part of this thesis. Most important points of this part are qualitative research (interviews with employees of these three companies) and quantitative research (questionares were filled by employees in one of these firms). The outputs of the thesis are general as well as specific suggestions for these three companies.

Construction sites are among the most common areas to experience soil erosion and sediment transport due to the mandatory foundation tasks such as excavation and land grubbing. Thus, temporary sediment barriers are installed along the perimeter to prevent sediment transport from the site. Erosion and sediment transport control measures may include, but not limited to, physical and chemical processes such as the use of a silt fence and polyacrylamide product. Runoff from construction sites and other impervious surfaces are routinely discharged into ponds for treatment before being released into a receiving water body. Stormwater harvesting from a pond for irrigation of adjacent lands is promoted as one approach to reducing pond discharge while supplementing valuable potable water used for irrigation. The reduction of pond discharge reduces the mass of pollutants in the discharge. In the dissertation, presented is the investigation of the effectiveness of temporary sediment barriers and then, development of a modeling approach to a stormwater harvesting pond to provide a comprehensive stormwater management pollution reduction assessment tool. The first part of the research presents the investigation of the performance efficiencies of silt fence fabrics in turbidity and sediment concentration removal, and the determination of flow-through-rate on simulated construction sites in real time. Two silt fence fabrics, (1) woven and the other (2) nonwoven were subjected to material index property tests and a series of field-scale tests with different rainfall intensities and events for different embankment slopes on a tilting test-bed. Collected influent and effluent samples were analyzed for sediment concentration and turbidity, and the flow-through-rate for each fabric was evaluated. Test results revealed that the woven and nonwoven silt fence achieved 11 and 56 percent average turbidity reduction efficiency, respectively. Each fabric also achieved 20 and 56 percent average sediment concentration removal efficiency, respectively. Fabric flow-through-rates were functions of the rainfall intensity and embankment slope. The nonwoven fabric exhibited higher flow-through-rates than the woven fabric in both field-scale and laboratory tests. In the second part of the study, a Stormwater Harvesting and Assessment for Reduction of Pollution (SHARP) model was developed to predict operation of wet pond used for stormwater harvesting. The model integrates the interaction of surface water and groundwater in a catchment area. The SHARP model was calibrated and validated with actual pond water elevation data from a stormwater pond at Miramar Lakes, Miramar, Florida. Model evaluation showed adequate prediction of pond water elevation with root mean square error between 0.07 and 0.12 m; mean absolute error was between 0.018 and 0.07 m; and relative index of agreement was between 0.74 and 0.98 for both calibration and validation periods. The SHARP model is capable of assessing harvesting safe-yield and discharge from a pond, including the prediction of the percentage of runoff into a harvesting pond that is not discharged. The combination of silt fence and/or polyacrylamide PAM before stormwater harvesting pond in a treatment train for the reduction of pollutants from construction sites has the potential of significantly exceeding a performance standard of 85 percent reduction typically required by local authorities. In fact, the stringent requirement of equaling pre- and post-development pollutant loading is highly achievable by the treatment train approach. The significant contribution from the integration of the SHARP model to the treatment train is that real-time assessment of pollutant loading reduction by volume can be planned and controlled to achieve target performance standards.Ph.D.

Amphibians, because of their semi-permeable skin, sensitivity to changing microclimates, and important role in ecosystems, are often viewed as indicators of ecosystem health. They make excellent organisms for studies on the effects of silvicultural practices. My goal was to provide recommendations for forest management in the southern Appalachians so that harvesting operations are compatible with maintaining healthy populations of forest amphibians.
I tested previously created habitat models that determined the most important habitat characteristics for salamanders. I counted salamanders in 240 10 x 10 m plots located in the MeadWestvaco Wildlife and Ecosystem Research Forest in north-central West Virginia. We also collected a variety of habitat data in these plots to predict salamander abundance with previously created models. These simple linear regression analyses of predicted versus observed values suggest for most models (7 out of 9) a weak relationship between predicted and observed values (R2 from 0.0033 to 0.2869, p from < 0.0001 to 0.7490). However, one of the models showed characteristics suggesting that it predicted new data as well or better than the original data, and therefore was the most accurate at predicting salamander abundance, and could be used for management purposes, although there was still much unexplained variation. This model included the variables woody stems (< 7.5 cm DBH), available rock, riparian status (i.e., within 15 m of a stream), percent overstory canopy cover, and available highly decomposed woody debris (decomposition classes 3 to 5). All of these relationships were positive except for woody stems, suggesting that in order to maintain healthy populations of salamanders, we should protect areas next to streams, with high amounts of rock, decomposed woody debris, overstory canopy cover, and few woody stems.
I also examined the immediate effects of clearcuts on salamander movement and population estimates. I batch marked salamanders in plots at the edges of a clearcut, and in a control plot. Using the Schnabel estimator, I estimated population sizes in each plot. I then compared population estimates pre- and post-harvest on the interior (harvested) and exterior (unharvested) sides of the plots, taking into account the control plot. I also examined adult-juvenile ratios and movements from one side of the plot to the other. I found no significant changes (p > 0.05) following harvest in any of these measures, suggesting that salamanders do not move out of the harvested area post-harvest, at least over the short term (10 months of this study). This suggests that a longer period of time (> 1 year) is required to observe the population declines detected in most studies.Master of Science

L'analyse du mouvement humain s'appuie généralement sur des techniques de suivi de marqueurs cutanés pour reconstruire la cinématique articulaire. Cependant, ces techniques d'acquisition présentent d'importantes limites dont les " artefacts de tissus mous " (i.e., le mouvement relatif entre les marqueurs cutanés et le squelette sous-jacent). La méthode d'optimisation multi-segmentaire viseà compenser ces artefacts en imposant aux trajectoires de marqueurs les degrés de liberté d'un modèle cinématique prédéfini. Les liaisons mécaniques modélisant classiquement les articulations empêchent toutefois une estimation satisfaisante de la cinématique articulaire. Cette thèse aborde des perspectives d'amélioration de la méthode d'optimisation multi-segmentaire pour l'estimation de la cinématique articulaire du membre inférieur,à travers différentes approches : (1) la reconstruction de la cinématique par suivi de la vitesse angulaire, de l'accélération et de l'orientation de centrales inertiellesà la place du suivi de marqueurs, (2) l'introduction d'un modèle articulaire élastique basé sur la matrice de raideur du genou, permettant une estimation physiologique de la cinématique articulaire et (3) l'introduction d'un modèle des artefacts de tissus mous " cinématique-dépendant ", visantà évaluer et compenser les artefacts de tissus mous simultanément avec l'estimation la cinématique articulaire. Ce travail a démontré la polyvalence de la méthode d'optimisation multi-segmentaire. Les résultats obtenus laissent espérer une amélioration significative de cette méthode qui devient de plus en plus utilisée en biomécanique, en particulier pour la modélisation musculo-squelettiqueHuman movement analysis generally relies on skin markers monitoring techniques to reconstruct the joint kinematics. However, these acquisition techniques have important limitations including the "soft tissue artefacts" (i.e., the relative movement between the skin markers and the underlying bones). The multi-body optimization method aims to compensate for these artefacts by imposing the degrees of freedom from a predefined kinematic model to markers trajectories. The mechanical linkages typically used for modeling the joints however prevent a satisfactory estimate of the joint kinematics. This thesis addresses the prospects of improvement of the multi-body optimization method for the estimation of joint kinematics of the lower limb through different approaches: (1) the reconstruction of the kinematics by monitoring the angular velocity, the acceleration and the orientation of magneto-inertial measurement units instead of tracking markers, (2) the introduction of an elastic joint model based on the knee stiffness matrix, enabling a physiological estimation of joint kinematics and (3) the introduction of a "kinematic-dependent" soft tissue artefact model to assess and compensate for soft tissue artefact concurrently with estimating the joint kinematics. This work demonstrated the versatility of the multi-body optimization method. The results give hope for significant improvement in this method which is becoming increasingly used in biomechanics, especially for musculoskeletal modeling

This study is aimed at discussing the “folklore improvement movement in Taiwan” after WWII (1945-1990). Based on analysis of relevant laws and regulations as well as data collected from newspapers, the following three issues have been addressed: (1) the purposes of the public authorities’ intervention in folklore-based customs, (2) the public’s responses to folklore improvement policies, and (3) the process of and regulations for the folklore improvement movement. The study is designed to gain understanding of the context of the society and the images of political ruling in the past. This study has noted the purposes the public authorities intended with policies to intervene in the folklore-based customs during a period when Taiwan was ruled by the rebellion-suppression regime. Amid the anti-communism and anti-Russia environments at that time, the government adopted such slogans as for improving the folklore and economizing rites and festivities, set laws and regulations to prohibit bad ”customs,” put temples and monasteries under control, and unify/economize the ritual/festival process, with an ultimate goal to build a diligent and thrifty nation and retake mainland China. Press reports also showed that deep-rooted “folklore” concepts had prevented the folklore improvement movement from producing significant results. The government’s folklore improvement policies, however, were changing as cross-Strait environments evolved. After the Martial Law was abolished, the folklore improvement movement shifted gradually from an attempt to build a diligent, thrifty nation to cultural reconstruction which was focused on self-identification and local culture. In the transformation process, the government had deeply cultivated the local culture and increased the public’s identification with Taiwan’s sovereignty as well. This is the post WWII “folklore improvement movement.” Under the authoritarian regime, the folklore improvement movement had imperceptibly transformed common practices with the intended direction embedded in the policies. Yet this also demonstrates that the government gained control of societies by way of the “folklore improvement movement” under the name of the orthodoxy of the nation. It has become a witness to the interaction between the folklore culture and government policies.

Abstract In the future of the Taiwan national land planning structure, the planning principles of the urban and rural area will forgo the excessive quantization city policy and the city construction which is in influenced by the political forces , but will turn the development theory into the development-strategic of ' the quality ' and the expectation demands of ' people '. Under the development trend of the national land planning, this thesis attempts to expand the concept of ' Smart growth' as a point of view to pursue the progress of Taiwan townscape improvement movement and the measure of townscape planning. And also plan to study the cases which are during 1999~2003 years of the urban and rural style/feature projects in Tainan county. Eventually, thought the extension of the 'Smart-growth ' concept, this thesis concludes the urban and rural space development strategies of Taiwan in the future. After the studying and analysis in this thesis, the conclusion is discussed as below: 1.In the future, the townscape improvement movement of Taiwan must move towards and to be consider to combine with the town planning principles of the national land planning. 2.The concept of 'Smart growth' reflects the strategies of the town space development which are full both of the ' material ' and ' humanity'. 3.The townscape and space improvement should press close to the community's daily life.

This case study investigated the planning, implementation, and assessment of a staff development project designed to reduce stress and provide a support base for improved learning by introducing Movement/Relaxation skills to an urban elementary school. Focus of the research was directed towards meeting the needs of differently-abled children in the low income African American community. It examined possible body/mind strategies for making the curriculum more accessible to the active learning style of African American children. The program also took into consideration concerns of the adult learners among the professionals. It acknowledged school improvement as an ongoing process that must appeal to the efficacy of teachers who may commit to change when they feel what they are doing will make a difference. During workshops and coaching sessions, an action team of volunteer educators explored aspects of nonverbal communication in space, ways of bringing Movement/Relaxation into the curriculum and techniques for developing body depth, or inner space, and relaxation. The action team generated a group dynamic that enabled the participants to: (1) share experiences; (2) clarify understandings; (3) encourage each other in the classroom practice of body/mind activities; (4) gain an awareness of nonverbal communication and how to improve teacher/student relationships; (5) realize the value of relaxation as basic to concentration, attention and learning; (6) excite the interest of other faculty members; and (7) foster a more nurturing school climate. Endorsement of the study by central administration strengthened the commitment of school personnel who contributed towards its implementation. Cooperation by the principal, math and reading coordinators, as well as the responsibility demonstrated by school aides were essential to the progress of this research. The time spent working together served to bond the participants and those who lent supportive assistance to their efforts.

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of respiratory muscle training on reaching movement and health improvement (Cortisol and salivary immunoglobulin A) in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: In experimental group，there are 10 children with cerebral palsy (average age 14.90±4.12) participating in the respiratory muscle training for 8 weeks. In the first four weeks’ training, they will subject themselves to this experimental procedure once per day, three days per week. Each procedure requires they breathe in and out 30 times; In the other four weeks, they do it once per day, two days per week and each procedure requires they, again, breathe in and out 30 times. There is an interval of six hours between the two procedures. In the control group, there are 7 children with cerebral palsy (average age 14.00±3.00).Both of the groups have a Boccia ball class once a week during the experiment. The test included gravity-balancing methods、reaching movement、saliva collection and respiratory function test. Results: After the 8-week training of respiratory muscle, it made a significant difference in PImax between two groups (F=6.125, p=.028) and pre-test and post-test (F= 13.314, p=.003) and the interaction (F= 13.076, p=.003) was also reached significant difference. In post-test, the two groups was reached significantly difference in PImax , and the experimental group made more progressive than the control one. It made a significant difference in PEmax between pre-test and post-test (F=4.595, p=.050) and the interaction (F= 9.912, p=.007) was also reached difference. The experimental group performed better than the control one in respiratory muscle strength. The movement range of the center of gravity balance for right side in the Pediatric reach test was reached the significant difference between pre-test and post-test (F=10.093, p =.007). The average speed of the center of gravity balance was made a significant difference between pre-test and post-test in two groups (F=7.128, p =.020). Both of the two groups in the moving speed of reaching movement became faster and the number of movement unit was less than before. The movement action which performed smoothly. There was no significant differences in Cortisol and salivary immunoglobulin A between the two groups. Conclusion: It was significant by the respiratory muscle training in children with cerebral palsy on respiratory muscle strength. There was no significant differences in reaching movement and health improvement between the two groups. Key words: respiratory muscle strength, action analysis, sitting balance, saliva analysis

This thesis follows the everyday movements of a group of elderly Australians, to critically examine how they came to experience a sense of home while living with bodily and cognitive impairments in a nursing home. In tracing their steps and the minutiae of their day-to-day activities, this research illustrates how nursing home residents experience ‘home’ as a sense of ‘rightness’ of being through doing the most mundane activities of walking, transferring position and eating. Examining care through the lens of home, I analyse how home, bodies and movement are reconfigured through multiple contexts of care. I argue that it is only in constellations of care that produce movements that residents attempt to make, but are unable to make on their own, that the potential to become at home is made possible. Based on 12 months of fieldwork in two nursing homes in metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia, this research attends closely to the sensory extensions (Dennis 2007) and restrictions of residents’ bodies vis-à-vis their engagements with other people and things. From the taste of a home cooked meal, to the touch of staff and family members, medications, handrails, carpeted floors and walking aids, residents’ ageing and declining bodies respond to, and may resist, assistance to walk, stand or eat. Care plans, staff and equipment, as this thesis will show, can also restrain residents’ bodies, inhibiting their movements and their becoming at home. This thesis draws on Deleuze and Guattari’s (1977, 1988) theories of becoming and desiring production to expand Jackson’s notion of home (1995, 2002) and ‘existential imperative’ (2002, p. 14) to propose that home is a matter of becoming-at-home-in-the-world. Key to my argument is how residents experience an innermost drive to move, and in examining how their urge to move is responded to, I demonstrate the multiple and at times contested forces that can propel residents to sit, to stand, or to put one foot ahead of the other. It is through this Deleuzian approach that I detail the multiple persons and things that enact and produce assemblages (Deleuze & Guattari 1988) of care. In so doing, I demonstrate that an ethically responsive care, or the care that was communicated and experienced as ‘right’ by residents, requires tinkering (Mol, Moser & Pols 2010) to achieve a balance between inclusion and autonomy (Rapport 2018). From moment to moment, and day-to-day, as bodies age, decline and eventually die, each resident requires different assemblages of care to move and to become at home. Examining the varieties of experience for nursing home residents through the theoretical lens of becoming at-home-in-the-world, this thesis provides new knowledge about the interrelations between movement and care, and the generative and productive affects of walking, standing and eating in residents’ lives. I argue that this ethnographically informed understanding of the sensibilities and potentialities of movement presents a challenge to clinical constructions of bodily and cognitive impairment and is at odds with aged care discourses and practices that may render the lives of nursing home residents inactive or meaningless and thus further constrain their existential and bodily potentials.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Social Sciences, 2020

The study towards the intervention of movement plays on the motor proficiency improvement of the mental-retardation students in junior high school Abstract： This study mainly focused on “the intervention of movement plays on the motor proficiency improvement of the mental- retarded students in junior high school.” The participants were three students from the self-contained class for the mentally-retarded in ○○ junior high school. The mental- retarded degrees of these three students were minor, medium and severe. They all took the short form pre-tests of Bruininks-Oseretsky test of motor proficiency. The pre-tests were conducted four weeks, five times per week and 20 movement plays in total. After took the pre-tests, the students then proceeded to take the post-tests. The resulted of this study were concluded from visually analyzing the test data of the pre-tests and post-tests, compared the differences between the results of the pre-tests and post-tests, and compared the relationship between these three participants. According to the results of the tests and analyses, the conclusions were as follows: 1. By took movement plays program, the gross motor proficiency of the mental- retarded students can be improved significantly. But mental- retarded students’ range was not necessarily relevant to the gross motor proficiency improvement. 2. By took movement plays program, the fine motor proficiency of the mental- retarded students can be improved significantly. But mental- retarded students’ range was not necessarily relevant to the fine motor proficiency improvement. Key Words：movement play, self-contained class for the mental-retarded, motor proficiency

The clean air from the air-conditioning system of operation room should clean the operation region and prevent the patients from lossing their body temperature. This study numerically investigates whether the thermal bouyancy force can be overcome by the low inlet air velocity and effectively remove the pollutant from operation region in a traditional operation room (upper inlet and the outlet located on the the lower region of walls). The variables include inlet air velocity and the gap between the shadowless lamps. The results show that even the gap between shadowless lamps is 0.6m, the 0.2m/s inlet air is still hard to overcome the thermal bouyancy force induced by humen and shadowless lamps. This causes a high pollutant concentration in operational region. The inlet air velocity must increase to have a lower pollutant concentration. This study also calculates the comfortable level PD value as the index of lossing body temperature. After comparing the pollutant concentrations and PD values of every cases, we find that the PD value of the case with 0.3m/s inlet air velocity &; 0.3m gap between shadowless lamps is a little higher than case with 0.2m/s &; 0..2m. However, the pollutant concentration is 41% lower than case with 0.2m/s &; 0.2m. Therefore, the inlet air velocity is suggested as 0.3m/s for a traditional operation room. This study also investigates PD values and polutant concentrations of three new designs to find a better solution to the environment of operational region. The inlet air speed and the gap between shadowless lamps are fixed at 0.2m/s and 0.2m. The three new design include reducing the heat generation of shadowless lamps, additional outlets loacted on the floor under operational table, side wall inlet together with side wall outlet. The results show that reducing the heat generation of shadowless lamps is of little effect; additional outlets on the floor has a good effect on the pollutant removing and PD value; the design of side wall inlet together with side wall outlet can not prevent from the thermal buoyancy effect and make the pollutant concentrate at the adjacent patient’s body and a continue blowing with cold-dry air to the head of patient. This study suggests that the design of upper inlet floor outlet should be considered for the new operation room. It can have a low pollutant concentration and PD value in the operational region at the situation of 0.2m/s inlet air speed and 0.2m gap between shadowless lamps.

It is imperative to have quality assurance processes in place in division training to provide quality training to enable members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) to provide quality services to communities within their area of jurisdiction.
The aim of the study was to determine the presence of and the need for implementation of effective quality assurance processes in education and training in the South African Police Service (SAPS).
The concepts quality and quality assurance were explained in the literature review.
Questionnaires were completed by the trainers in the South African Police Service (SAPS) at various training centers in the Northern Cape Province.
The researcher advocates to promote and enhance quality assurance in education and training programmes in the South African Police Service (SAPS). Therefore, it is recommended that quality assurance programmes be introduced based on total quality management system for continuous improvement which can provide any training programme with a set of “tools” to meet and exceed the present needs and expectations of the adult learners in the South African Police Service (SAPS) context.Teacher Education

Background: The central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is the most debilitating aspect of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). Affected children exhibit numerous cognitive and behavioural deficits which can severely affect quality of life. As the diagnosis of FASDs often requires specially trained physicians, there is a need for sensitive and specific tools that screen PAE-related CNS dysfunction in order to identify individuals who require further consultation. Additionally, objective measures of intervention end-points are critical to assess potential treatments for this population. As saccadic eye movement behaviours reflect the integrity of multiple brain structures, a battery of oculomotor tasks may serve both these functions. This study sought to test the hypothesis that oculomotor performance in FASD would differ from typically developing children and would allow the objective measure of cognitive improvements resulting from a strength-based motor skills intervention. Methods: A cohort of 31 children with FASD, and 31 age- and sex-matched controls completed prosaccade, antisaccade, delayed memory-guided sequential (DMS) and predictive eye movement tasks. Additionally, a selection of these children were involved in an intervention study and therefore tested on three separate occasions using the eye movement tasks and computerized neuropsychological tests. Results: Compared to controls, children with FASDs elicited increased direction and anticipatory errors in the antisaccade task, increased timing and sequence errors in the DMS task, and increased anticipatory and decreased express saccades in the predictive task. The FASD group also exhibited an increase in the error of saccade trajectories in the pro- and antisaccade tasks, in addition to increased velocities of
visually-guided saccades in the predictive task. Furthermore, those involved in the intervention study improved in measures of response inhibition in the DMS task. Conclusion: This study indicates that frontostriatal and cerebellar dysfunction can be assessed in children with FASDs using a battery of eye movement tasks. In addition, children involved in the strength-based motor skills intervention improved in the ability to perform complex oculomotor tasks. These findings suggest that select eye movement tasks may be utilized to identify CNS dysfunction in FASD and to measure cognitive improvements resulting from behavioural interventions.Thesis (Master, Neuroscience Studies) -- Queen's University, 2010-08-17 09:55:59.382

This research developed a series of courses based on Somatic Movement Education philosophy. Through the course design and classroom observations, this study explored the influence of incorporating somatic movement education into the teaching in physical education for vocational senior high school on the improvements of flexibility and body awareness. In addition, this study promoted the self- development and reflection of the investigator in the practical teaching by the self-observation of the research process. This research had chosen 52 students in the affiliated vocational senior high school of National Taitung Junior College as research objects. The students were given a series of Somatic Movement Education courses two hours per week for a period of ten weeks (a total of 20 hours). This study adopted action research method to explore the acceptability and the responses to the courses. The collected data included teacher’s diary, observer’s notes and students’ diary. Meanwhile, the courses were being modified according to these collected data. Several body flexibility tests, which included Seated Forward Bend, Seated Twist, Standing Forward Bend, Standing Side Bend and Range of Motion of hip joint, were conducted both before and after whole courses. The improvement of the students’ flexibility was evaluated by the descriptive statistics and dependent T-tests analyses. The key results of this research included: (1) the students’ preference degree to the Somatic Movement Education courses to 72% and up to 72.75% students considered the courses as being easy, indicating that the Somatic Movement Education courses with appropriate teaching activities design could be applicable to the teaching in the vocational senior high school and worth to be promoted; (2) the Somatic Movement Education courses enhanced the students’ body awareness in the aspects of “physical massage”, “breathing relaxation” and body use”; (3) the flexibility test results show that, after receiving the 10-week Somatic Movement Education courses, the students gained significant improvement in every flexibility test item except for the Standing Side Bend (4) through the reflection of the active research, the investigator made much progress in design and execution of teaching activities, teaching skills, modifications of teaching attitudes and capture of students’ learning behaviors.
