The main purpose of this article is to examine various research on the etiology of stuttering. The experimental research explored various brain circuitries involved, specifically the the basal ganglia. Furthermore, the meta-analysis discussed neuroimaging, lesion, pharmacological, and genetic studies on the neural circuitries connected to persistent developmental stuttering and acquired neurogenic stuttering.

The main purpose of this annotated bibliography is to help answer the question; can living in poverty have an impact on a child’s performance in school? Past experiences made me decide on this final research question. Being a military brat I was able to travel the world. While moving from place to place, I was able to spend 5 years of my life in Hawaii. While there I was exposed to an abundance of homeless people, families, others that were on the brink of being homeless. At the beach and on the side of the road you could see hundreds of tents of families who could no longer afford to live in a home. Set aside from not having a home, many of these families struggle to feed their children and send them to schools. Knowing that both of my parents

In the periodical article, “South Africa: The Drug Trade's Bitter Taste," published by IRIN, a Kenyan-based news agency, states that South Africa is trying to reduce its issues, and that drugs correlate with crime rates in SA. The article supports this claim by detailing on a drug known as “tik”, or crystal methamphetamine. The drug causes aggressive behavior, which can last up to three or four hours, and is common in areas with high crime rates (South Africa: The Drug Trade's Bitter Taste). In addition, the article believes that certain drugs are used often by members of certain races. For example, it listed tik as a largely-used drug by the mixed raced population, while sugar, a mixture of cocaine and heroin, is used more by the Indian population (South Africa: The Drug Trade's Bitter Taste). Afterwards, the periodical states that one reason crime rates increase because of drugs is that people commit thievery in order to pay for their next hit. Towards the end of the text, the IRIN noted that while SA’s drug trade was parallel to its economic growth and disposable income, it’s also increased the amount of people in need of rehabilitation. The Institute for Security Studies’ Huebschle believes drug trade to be an international issue that needs every country’s help to reduce drug trade. SA’s police have

In the research article “Urinary bisphenol A concentrations and implantation failure among women undergoing in vitro fertilization” written by Shelley Ehrlich, Paige L. Williams, Stacey A. Missmer, Jodi A. Flaws, Katharine F. Berry, Antonia M. Calafat, Xiaoyun Ye, John C. Petrozza, Diane Wright, and Russ Hauser, shows a study done in the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), BPA was found to be in more than 90% of urine samples which were obtained from a descriptive sample of U.S residents (3). During the past decades, infertility rates have increased and one of the most impacted areas is the U.S. Some of the most important determinants of reduced fertility are failed implantation, which is thought to account for 50-75% of preclinical pregnancy loss in humans (3). Implantation is regulated by a synchronized interaction hormonal signal, making it weak to

The article discusses two issues linked to tea production: the oppressive conditions, poor wages and human rights violations workers endure in major tea producing countries and the serious environmental effects of clearing large areas for tea production and disturbing natural habitats for plants and wildlife. This report offers a reliable, objective assessment of these two critical issues. With updates,

Typical data centers can occupy from one room to a complete building. Most equipment are server-like mounted in rack cabinets. Servers differ in size from single units to large independently standing storage units which are sometimes as big as the racks. Massive data centers even make use of shipping containers consisting of 1000’s of servers. Instead of repairing individual servers, the entire container is replaced during upgrades.

It is called the RTI system in this system the student can go through three tiers that can sustain them out. In these different levels, the student can receive various types of help to support them. To ensure that this system is efficient we studied up on it; It stated “ RTI is a tiered model approach for helping struggling students and identifying possible learning and behavior needs. Here are the three tiers: All students receive high-quality, instruction. This instruction is research-based and includes differentiation (level one).Then, students who are not progressing adequately in the regular, high-quality classroom are provided with some intervention -- an additional, smaller math or reading class, for example (tier two).If a student is still struggling, then he receives one-on-one targeted intervention that speaks to his specific skill deficits (level three).If desired results do not occur, a formal evaluation and data from level one, two, and three are used to determine any eligibility for special education services.” In other words, this method offered to struggle students can establish a one to one teaching environment or smaller classroom environment or a targeted skill deficits elaboration of the student. Which can pinpoint to the teacher which aspect is the student, not understanding so that he or she can notify the teacher on which area the students are not

Natural disaster occurs across the world and create damage across our nation. They have affected us mentally and physically. Natural disaster are event or accident created by the environment resulting in a lot of damage sometimes. Destroying Our house, lives and communities. Natural disaster can range from a flood to a hurricane or cyclone. Over the past twenty years there has been thousand even millions of damage created by disaster across the U.S. There are many ways a natural disaster occur. We focused on three main topics of Natural disaster which are the types of natural disaster, how they affect us and how we they have affected the US.

For my Field Experience, I chose to observe at Krahn Elementary, which is a part of the Klein Independent School District. After my approval, I was assigned to four teachers and their classrooms. I observed at Krahn Elementary on six Tuesdays between 15 September 2015 and 27 October 2015, and more or less followed the schedule that was given to me by the Assistant Principal Ms. Shannon Strole. From 8:30 am to 9:15 am I observed Ms. Judy Burkes, who is a third grade Math and Science teacher. Her classroom is comprised of twenty students, which range from average to below average learners and a student with ADHD and another with autism. For most of my

Inclusion in the classroom is a widely debated issue in education today. Inclusive education means that students with disabilities are supported in chronologically age appropriate general education classrooms in schools near their home. These students also receive the specialized instruction outlined by their individualized education programs (IEP 's) within the context of the core curriculum and general class activities. Inclusion was developed to make sure students with disabilities go to school along with their neighbors and friends. These students are also receiving specifically designed instruction and support to achieve and succeed as learners. Is inclusion in the classroom beneficial for both general and special education students is the issue. I believe that there are positive and negatives about inclusion but overall it is beneficial for some students.
