Teaching music to students with autism

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of music teachers who teach music to children with autism through a case study of a music educator with significant experience in this field. This study answers the following questions: a) what are the challenges faced by inservice music teachers who teach music to children with autism and b) what types of effective accommodations do music teachers who teach children with autism use?A qualitative case study was used in this investigation. This study included observations in five elementary music classes at a Midwest school to examine the strategies used by a music educator to include students with autism. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a public school elementary music teacher. The paper outlines specific strategies to adapt music'instruction for students with autism that were effective in the music classroom. These strategies are included under the following categories: a) daily routines and transitions, b) visual cues, c) proximity, d) developing social skills, e) simplification, f) environmental conditions g) communication with other professionals, and h) personal professional growth.Honors College"May, 2008."Thesis (B.?.

Ombyggnad Torslanda

Consumer report for the company in question (the Volvo Automobile Company and the Volvo Torslanda plant) which is financed by the company and partly also by a research foundation. It is a matter of a work that in this particular case were carried out during nine years in a number of experimental workshops located outside the Chalmers University of Technology. These workshops were financed by the Volvo Automobile and Truck companies. This achievement, as the final contribution to the Swedish automotive industry after having already treated this research field/problem area for more than two decades before this particular period if time (involving several junior and senior research competencies, as well as industrial and governmental foundings)

Case report: intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas with unique clear cell phenotype

Abstract: Intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas are very rare tumors characterized by intraductal tubulopapillary growth, ductal differentiation, scant intracellular mucin production and cellular dysplasia. Here, we report the first case of an intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas with clear cell morphology. The tumor was detected during the diagnostic work-up of acute pancreatitis in a 43- year old female. Histological examination revealed a tumor with the typical architecture of an intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas with tumor cells showing abundant clear cytoplasm and Di-PAS negativity.
