Mobile Technology Use and Developmental/Intellectual Disabilities

The purpose of this research project was to gain insight into the impact of mobile technology use among individuals with developmental/intellectual disabilities (DD/ID). Individuals with DD/ID are engaging in their communities and society more now than ever before and are using mobile technology as a mode to make it possible. The study’s research revolved around the experiences of professionals who work closest with individuals with DD/ID, which provided valuable, first-hand insight into the impact of mobile technology. This study also helps provide information on a topic that has relatively limited available research. One of the strongest themes in this study was how the use of mobile technology among individuals with DD/ID helps increase their connectedness to the communities and societies in which they participate. Increased connectedness ultimately leads to a reduction of stigma and increases awareness about what it means to live with a DD/ID. Increased was also described as a method for individuals with DD/ID to advocate on their own behalf, and urge for better disability programs, policies, and services. Overall, information gathered through this study indicated that mobile technology appears to positively impact the quality of life of individuals with DD/ID, by increasing independence, self-determination, and community connectedness. The limitations of this research, along with recommendations for future researchers are also included in this study

Thesis Proposal and Manuscript

The aim of this thesis paper is to illustrate a key topic in the study of fictional literature within the context of envisioning, researching, planning, and writing a literary paper and fictional literary novel. In this, a thesis will be argued that literary themes are the most important literary element in fiction works (poems, stories, plays, novellas, novels…) and will be a core part of the serious manuscript (fictional novel; The Mulberry Tree) written by this writer (Peter Muer). In addition, a sound view of great writers and great literature will be presented, as well as a look at literary criticism, ideas, theory, and interpretation. A final conclusion will set out the plans for the upcoming novel which will seek to add to the Christian literary collection of great writings

The effect of traffic flows on urban soundscape dynamics and how to analyze it

Subjective evaluation of soundscapes considers without a doubt the change in amplitude and frequency of the acoustic signal over time. The urban environment can make these soundscape dynamics become rather complex and interesting. In this paper we investigate how traffic flows, quite often the main source of noise in urban an suburban environments, influence the dynamics of the soundscape at intervals of the order of a few seconds to minutes. A model for dynamical traffic noise prediction is presented. Novel descriptors based on the power spectrum of noise level fluctuations allow us to show, using static maps, how the dynamics evolve in side streets, on squares etc
