An Evaluation of the Efficacy of Antecedent Choice for Decreasing Food Selectivity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Children with autism are frequently labeled as selective or “picky” eaters (Volkert & Vaz, 2010). The purpose of the current study was to evaluate antecedent choice as an intervention for decreasing selective eating in children diagnosed with autism. The results show that choice as an antecedent intervention was not effective at increasing consumption of non-preferred foods for three children diagnosed with autism. Acceptance of non-preferred food was 0% in baseline for all participants and remained at 0% during choice between two non-preferred foods. A differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) component was added to the choice phase, but acceptance of the non-preferred bite remained at 0%. Discussion on possibilities for treatment failure and alternative interventions is provided

POLICE INTERACTION WITH MUSLIMS – LEGAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS

Due to the geopolitical changes in the world, police officers have to understand culture and religion of Muslims which will promote a more secure environment and self-confidence about the legal and practical aspects of interaction with Muslims in Latvia. However, the most police officers have insufficient knowledge of Islam regarding law enforcement in dealing with Muslims. Muslims, who have arrived in the last decade, have had a negative experience with police in their country of origin, so, in some cases, immigrants may be afraid of police officers and refuse to cooperate with them

Kawasaki Disease Presenting as Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis

Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is a rare, potentially serious disease that has been associated with Kawasaki disease (KD) in children. Studies suggest that patients presenting with severe abdominal symptoms secondary to KD have increased resistance to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and a higher rate of coronary artery aneurysms. We describe an eight-year-old boy who presented to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with AAC and KD. He was treated with IVIG and high-dose aspirin, achieving good response with complete symptom resolution. He had no coronary artery aneurysms or further complications and was discharged after three days

In the context of the growing environmental concern, which has been developing in recent years, the search for solutions that minimise environmental damage and ensure the sustainability of the planet's natural resources and ecosystems is emerging, is So it appears the conception of environmental governance, from now on GA, as a tool to resolve conflicts and make decisions, from the negotiations between the different stakeholders. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the different positions with respect to the GA in the organizations, regardless of their geographical location and the nationality of the company, and also to determine the main internal motives and External that lead to environmental proactivity, analyze the influence of stakeholders in environmental management, identify the competitive advantages that are obtained from a suitable GA. To this end, the bibliographical review of academic articles, books and theses was established as a method of research, through a comparative table (benchmark) of criteria and authors. The research has served to identify positions such as proactivity, innovation, adoption of environmental management systems and environmental corporate Social responsibility; They contribute positively to the organizations by taking them to the efficiency in the reduction of costs and wastes, with the consequent improvement in the image and reputation, and the increase of the profitability in a long term period.Trabajo de Suficiencia ProfesionalEn el contexto de la creciente preocupación ambiental, que se ha venido desarrollando en los últimos años, surge la búsqueda por encontrar soluciones que minimicen los daños ambientales y aseguren la sostenibilidad de los recursos naturales y ecosistemas del planeta, es así como aparece la concepción de la Gobernanza Ambiental, de ahora en adelante GA, como una herramienta para resolver conflictos y tomar decisiones, a partir de las negociaciones entre los diferentes stakeholders.

La investigación ha servido para identificar posturas como la proactividad, la innovación, la adopción de sistemas de gestión ambiental y la Responsabilidad Social Corporativa Medioambiental; las cuales contribuyen de forma positiva en las organizaciones llevándolas a la eficiencia en la reducción de costos y residuos, con la mejora en su imagen y reputación; y el incremento de la rentabilidad en un periodo de largo plazo

From Survey Quadrats to Cultural Landscapes: Forty-one Years of the Cedar Mesa Project

The Cedar Mesa Project in SE Utah was inspired by Binford's classic 1964 research design paper. From 1971 to 1975, a stratified probabilistic sampling design guided regional survey, site recording, and site testing in an 800 km2 study area. Population and settlement systems were characterized through time, and their variation related to broad regional climatic and adaptive patterns. Subsequent fieldwork (1984, 1991-92, 2009-2011) and analyses have built on this Binfordian research base to focus on aspects of Cedar Mesa cultural systems, including agricultural dependence, community organization, cultural landscape construction, external relationships (e.g., with Chaco Canyon) and regional depopulation processes
