An Archaeological and Historical Survey of Walnut Creek, Seguin, Texas

During March 1977, the Center for Archaeological Research conducted archaeological and historical surveys of Walnut Creek at Seguin, Texas. The surveys were performed under contract with Hallenberger, Galindo and Associates, Consulting Engineers. This engineering firm, in turn, has been contracted by the U.S. Corps of Engineers to do a study of proposed flood control developments along Walnut Creek in anticipation of the projected 50-year flood cycle. The archaeological and historical surveys of Walnut Creek Were part ofa larger study to assess the environmental impact of the area by the proposed flood control developments. This report, which describes the surveys made along Walnut Creek, is presented in two parts: Part I deals with the historical survey and is written by James E. Ivey; Part II covers the archaeological survey done by Cristi Assad and Erwin Roemer. The results of these surveys and suggested recommendations are presented herein

An investigation of support programs for college students with high functioning autism or Asperger syndrome

Title from PDF of title page (University of Missouri--Columbia, viewed on Feb 26, 2010).The entire thesis text is included in the research.pdf file; the official abstract appears in the short.pdf file; a non-technical public abstract appears in the public.pdf file.Dissertation advisor: Dr. Barbara Townsend.Vita.Ph.D. University of Missouri--Columbia 2009.One group of students now included in the demographic landscape on many college campuses is students with high functioning autism (HFA) or Asperger syndrome (AS). Not only is the number of college students with HFA or AS becoming evident, but also the prevalence rates among younger generations of college hopefuls. Hence, the importance of participation of individuals with HFA or AS in higher education on all levels must be examined by higher education stakeholders. Using the framework of a logic model I sought to examine support programs in higher education for college students with High Functioning Autism or Aspeger syndrome (HFA or AS). More specifically, I wanted to described the characteristics of two selected programs by completing a program logic model for each of the programs being examined, (2) determine how each program related to the Shaw and Dukes' (2005; 2006) AHEAD postsecondary disability program standards and (3) determine to what extent the characteristics of institutional type and funding source made a difference in how the programs were structured and their outcomes. This was a qualitative study using a multiple-case study approach.Includes bibliographical references

Joint effect of physical activity and sedentary behaviour on cardiovascular risk factors in Chilean adults

Background: To investigate the associations between combined categories of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) with markers of adiposity and cardiovascular risk in adults. Methods: Overall, 5040 participants (mean age 46.4 years and 59.3% women) from the cross-sectional Chilean National Health Survey 2009–2010 were included in this study. MVPA and SB were measured using the Global Physical Activity questionnaire. Four categories were computed using MVPA- and SB-specific cut-offs (‘High-SB & Active’, ‘Low-SB & Active’, ‘High-SB & Inactive’ and ‘Low-SB & Inactive’). Results: Compared to the reference group (‘High-SB & Inactive’), those in ‘High-SB & Active’ and ‘Low-SB & Active’ were less likely to have an obese BMI (OR: 0.67 [0.54; 0.85], P = 0.0001 and 0.74 [0.59; 0.92] P = 0.0007, respectively) and less likely to have metabolic syndrome (OR: 0.63 [0.49; 0.82], P < 0.0001 and 0.72 [0.57; 0.91], P = 0.007), central obesity (OR: 0.79 [0.65; 0.96], P = 0.016 and 0.71 [0.59; 0.84], P < 0.0001), diabetes (OR: 0.45 [0.35; 0.59], P < 0.0001 and 0.44 [0.34; 0.56], P < 0.0001) and hypertension (OR: 0.52 [0.43; 0.63], P < 0.0001 and 0.60 [0.50; 0.72], P < 0.0001), respectively. Conclusions: Being physically active and spending less time in SBs was associated with lower adiposity and improvements in cardiovascular risk factors

Active commuting is associated with a lower risk of obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome in Chilean adults

Background: There is limited evidence on how active commuting is associated with health benefits in developing countries. The aim of this study therefore was to investigate the associations between active commuting and markers of adiposity and cardiometabolic risk in the Chilean adult population. Methods: In total, 5157 participants from the Chilean National Health Survey 2009–10 were included in this cross-sectional study. Active commuting was measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ v2). Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were measured and used to define obesity and central obesity. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome were determined using WHO and updated ATPIII-NCEP criteria, respectively. Results: The main finding of this study is that a 30 min increase in active commuting is associated with lower odds for BMI > 25.0 kg m−2 (0.93 [95% CI: 0.88–0.98, P = 0.010]). Similarly, the odds for central obesity was 0.87 [0.82–0.92, P < 0.0001]. Similar associations were found for T2D (0.81 [0.75–0.88], P < 0.0001) and metabolic syndrome (OR: 0.86 [0.80–0.92], P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Our findings show that active commuting is associated with lower adiposity and a healthier metabolic profile including lower risk for obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome

The Relative Effectiveness of Al-Qur'an Murotal and Classical Music Therapy on Improving Concentration Ability Inautistic Children at SLB Semesta, Sooko, Mojokerto

Background: Autistic children have cognitive limitation. Autism affects the concentration disorder, which has a great impact on the learning process. Music therapy may increase the concentration of austistic children. This study aimed to determine the relative effectiveness between Al-qur’an murrotal and classical music in improving the concentration ability of children with autism. Subjects and Method: This was a randomized control trial conducted at SLB Semesta Luar Biasa, Sooko, Mojokerto, East Java. A sample of 16 autistic children was selected for this study and randomized into two groups: (1) the experimental group who received Al-qurán murrotal, (2) the control group who received classical music. The dependent variable was concentration ability. The independent variable was type of music therapy. The data were collected by questionnaire and observation. Mean difference in concentration ability between the two groups was tested by t-test. Results: At the baseline, the concentration ability in the Al-quran murrotal group (mean= 6.38; SD= 3.07) was comparable with the classical music group (mean= 6.00; SD= 2.62), and it was statistically non-significant (p= 0.794), indicating the randomization process had distributed all variables equally into the two groups. After the intervention, the concentration ability in the murrotal group (mean= 11.38; SD= 3.25) was higher than in the classical music group (mean= 8.50; SD= 2.67), but it was not statistically significant (p= 0.073). Conclusion: The effectiveness of Al-qurán murrotal intervention and classical music therapy is comparable in improving concentration ability in children with autism. Keywords: concentration ability, autistic children, Al-qur’an Murrotal, classical musi
