Methodological Critique

In my opinion, I would like to see a larger sample size. But I agree with the choice to put more participants into the intervention group rather than the control group. That is because I would be more interested in the results from the intervention group so a larger sample is appropriate, but there is still enough in the control group to play

The major variables were labeled in association with the endoscopic photographs from the computer-assisted measurement (CAM) airway analysis at the retropalatal level with calibrator in regards to showing airway dimensions in both pre and postoperative images (Hsu et al., 2007). There was no sign of manipulation of these variables other than from the postoperative images. The research team compiled the data to show the regression data of UPPP surgery were considerably correlated with postoperative improvement. This method of data collection was used to analyze the correlation between modifications in surgical parameters and the postoperative status of OSA patients.

The qualitative approach to research is anchored in the ideographic tradition and seeks to focus on the insider's world and the meanings that are attached to behaviour. While this is a general view of qualitative studies each qualitative design has unique foci. Hudacek (2008) examined the concept of caring in the work of nurses using a phenomenological design. Phenomenology gives attention to the subjective social reality. It gives value to the individual experience of the actor even within highly structured organizations. It is through the everyday experiences that meaning is constructed. The use of phenomenology is therefore highly consistent with the attempt to understand the meaning of caring. The design and the stated purpose of the researcher are highly congruent. The researcher noted that the purpose of the study was to "describe the dimensions of caring." Phenomenology is useful for unearthing the individuals understanding of their own behavior and consequently the meaning they attach to particular actions.

As a group the children are being offered the chance to learn to express ideas with confidence, empathize with their friends, and feel at home in their own skin. Song, music and dance can help children become more imaginative, self-aware and improve their social skills in a fun and enjoyable fashion. According to Aistear’s theme of communicating Aim 1: Children will use non-verbal communication skills. In partnership with the adult, children will (4) understand and respect that some people will rely on non-verbal communications as their main way of interacting with others. (Aistear: the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework) Pg. 35.

The nature of the issues being investigated meant that controlled experiments couldn't be carried out. It would not be possible to separate children from their mothers in an experiment! Because control of variables was difficult, clear conclusions were difficult to draw. Other evidence from psychoanalytic case studies or from animal studies must also be interpreted very carefully.

How are you? You are the second person that mention about gonoodle.com that is a website I never heard of. I agree dance and music are important when it comes to children. As a teacher I dance and sing with my children. Every morning I do exercise with my students it also a video on Youtube called "Head Shoulder Knees and Toes" great for eercise and the children loves this song.At my old learning facility the owner had a zumba lady come out and teach the 3-5 year old clsssroom zumba every monday that was a lot of fun because we were participating as well.I agree with you Melisa children do learn a lot from songs and movement.

What further research or pilot studies need to be done, if any, before incorporating findings into practice to assure both safety and effectiveness?

After the stimulus or intervention is administered to the control group, the dependent variable is measured again, in the posttest period. Differences noted between the pretest and

"As I make my slow pilgrimage through the world, a certain sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow, " A.C. Benson. In the Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer speaks of a pilgrimage, or religion journey, and the many people who go with him. The tales are made up of each persons story that they tell along the way. Each of these characters adds to his great story told by Chaucer, however, the question is posed, who could he had from this century that would influence this pilgrimage? There are many types of people who could be added as characters to Chaucer 's story, however there are three that stick out in my mind that would make quite a difference. Three types of people that Chaucer could add from our time would be an inspiration speaker, a comedian and lastly a musician to create a change, one that was good, for the journey.

Four years after the unit was formed, the SS was put in the hands of Heinrich Himmler, a racist extremist who was a very good friend of Hitler. The years of his management were a big time of change for the group, since it increased from 300 members to 50000. Each member had to have Aryan characteristics (tall, blonde hair and blue eyes), physical perfection and racial purity. Their symbol consisted of two Ss in the shape of lightning bolts with skulls and silver daggers around them. This made the members feel superior to the average Storm Troopers of the SA (Sturmabteilung) to which they were inferior to in the first place.

The first group (ages 26+) were patients who suffered from intellectual disabilities like motor disorder as a consequence of cerebral palsy, speech impairment, auditory function, and difficulties with motor skills. The second group (ages 26-50) had individuals who suffered from a genetic disease and severe psychomotor retardation. The third group was older adults (ages 70+) who suffered from severe stages of mobility issues, Alzheimer disease, behavioral symptoms, temporal and spatial disorientation. Some forms of therapy included circle dance group, listening groups that listened to only music, and ergometer groups. A study by Thaut, McIntosh, Prassas, and Rice (1992) investigated the effect of auditory rhythm on temporal parameters. Data from this study showed that using principals of rhythmic cuing improved stride, upper limb movements, and enhanced gait. (Krampe, (2013) p. 40) Within these group sessions, therapists used props to stimulate sensory integration, interaction, and self-expression. This made the dance therapy session fun, more enjoyable, and helped with the “grounding” concept at a physical, emotional, and social level amongst everyone. The props that were used were balls varying in different sizes and colors, small percussion instruments, and

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a fairly common complication in hospitalized patients. Nosocomial infection prevention and patient safety promotion has been issued and many researches have been conducted to improve patient’s quality of life. In this article, Saint et al. (2005) hypothesize that using a paper-based urinary catheter reminder can reduce the incidence of urinary catheterization, and consequently this will enhance the patients’ safety.

The first reason why teachers should integrate dance into education is that dance increases students’ attention and reaches students of different learning types. One study was done to determine whether lessons that incorporate movement were effective at generating student’s situational interest. They compared the outcomes of movement and non movement lessons in second and third grade reading and math classes. The teachers provided one week of lessons that included movement and one week of lessons that did not. Students were asked to use their bodies to illustrate specific concepts they were taught. At the end of the study, the teachers rated students’ interest levels, and they found that students were more excited by and engaged in the lessons that integrated movement than those that did not. Surprisingly, they also found that the dancing did not hinder the amount of content learned during the lesson (Lindt and Miller). Dance could be a
