Investigating How Children with Autism Respond to Virtual Environments
Get PDFOver 90% of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder face sensory processing challenges. Virtual environments can trigger adaptive sensory responses akin to real-world experiences. This preliminary study explored how students with autism interact within virtual settings. Conducted at Julie Billiart Schools, where over 75% of students have autism and sensory differences, the project involved 35 participants aged 6-14 in six VR sessions. Data on Zones of Regulation, affect, and behaviors were collected. Results showed VR was enjoyable, with highly significant post-VR changes in Zone of Regulation (p\u3c0.001). This suggests VR holds promise as a therapeutic tool for self-regulation in children with ASD.https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/ot_capstone_posters/1062/thumbnail.jp
Role of Partial Requirement Tariffs and Standby Charges in Microgrid Adoption in Ohio
Get PDFUtility partial load tariffs can be used to enable microgrids to be connected to distributions systems. While partial load tariffs can be avoided by connecting the microgrid directly to the transmission grid, this strategy is likely to be more effective for larger microgrids (e.g. 10 MW). But partial load tariffs – if suitably designed -- can be very useful to enabling smaller microgrid development
Why We Need a Long View of Abolition to End the School-to-Prison Pipeline
No full textDrawing on experiential, literary and historical narratives, this article connects the long history shaping the school-to-prison-pipeline to the contemporary experiences of Black youth in today’s educational system. It maps abolitionism from its origins as a movement to end slavery through the ongoing Black freedom struggles that have challenged state and vigilante violence throughout the eras of Jim Crow and Civil Rights to today’s efforts to dismantle the prison state. By situating the criminalization of African American education from our nation’s founding until the present with particular focus on the post Brown years, the article stresses how policies that funded policing over education persisted through liberal and conservative administrations. This longer and broader historical approach to school discipline should help teachers, school administrators and policy makers devise anti-racist teaching practices that can resist the seemingly unyielding and ever adaptable strictures of white supremacy, most recently evidenced in the attacks on “Critical Race Theory,” “Diversity Equity and Inclusion” initiatives and so-called “wokism.” By listening to how those who have been enslaved and incarcerated regarded education, I join a chorus of voices suggesting how we might structure our pedagogical choices as a fugitive practice that looks for solutions outside the institution and imagines as yet unthought of alternatives to the ways punishment is incorporated into today’s public education

Bringing Calligraphy Art Back to Writing – An Exploration of Calligraphy Education for Chinese Beginners
Get PDFAbstract: Chinese calligraphy, often recognized as an iconic representation of Asian culture, is widely regarded as a traditional art form with over thousands of years history. However, it is often overlooked that, at its core, calligraphy is a method of writing. In the process of learning about Asian art, culture, and character history through Chinese calligraphy, we can also introduce Chinese beginners to the art of writing Chinese characters. This integration of traditional Chinese calligraphy as a means of writing Chinese characters with language learning offers numerous advantages for novice learners. It engages their senses of sight, hearing, speech, and touch simultaneously, preventing the tedium associated with mechanical character copying. Furthermore, it significantly enhances their understanding of stroke order and character structure, while also alleviating anxiety related to Chinese character acquisition
A Comparative Analysis of the Origin and Formation Between Chinese Characters and English Alphabets
Get PDFThis research is based on the framework of social constructivism, utilizing the principle of Human Universals as a methodology to compare the similarities and differences between the ideation and formation methods of Chinese characters and English alphabets. Through comparative analysis of the ideation of English letters (pictogramme) and the origin of Chinese characters, known as the Six Categories Theory, we discover their alignment in terms of social, traditional, and cultural aspects. This suggests that different ethnic groups share common features in terms of life experience, learning cognitive development, and thinking habits. This study also finds that the origins of English letters and Chinese characters share similar linguistic features in their methods of constructing letters/characters, such as pictographic, ideographic, and semantic characteristics. Exploring these commonalities contributes to promoting learning and communication between Chinese and English characters. Additionally, by focusing on socio-cultural aspects, traditional customs, and cognitive learning, this study aims to break away from the traditional linguistic research approach that solely focuses on language differences. This provides a broader perspective and richer dimensions for Chinese and English language learning, facilitating the development of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communication.

Facilitating Chinese Language Education with Chinese Calligraphy
Get PDFChinese Calligraphy, a treasure of traditional Chinese culture, maintains considerable significance within the realm of global Chinese education. This article thoroughly scrutinizes the inherent value of calligraphy courses in overseas Chinese education. Primarily, it delves into the profound impact calligraphy classes have on students\u27 Chinese language proficiency, intercultural cognitive skills, and aesthetic appreciation. Furthermore, this article elucidates the lamentable scarcity of calligraphy, while simultaneously revealing a range of strategic solutions to address this pressing issue. These strategies encompass comprehensive teacher training, optimization of teaching methodologies, creation of comprehensive calligraphy course materials and resources, as well as the procurement of substantial systematic support
Generalized Airy Theory and its Region of Quantitative Validity
No full textAiry theory has long proved to be a remarkably simple analytical model that describes the various features of the atmospheric rainbow. But the stringent assumptions upon which its derivation is based, prevent it from being quantitatively accurate in practical situations. We derive an analytical generalization of Airy theory for both the transverse electric and magnetic polarizations and for an arbitrary number of internal reflections. This generalized analytical model contains both the Airy integral and its first derivative, multiplied by constants of pro- portionality that are independent of the scattering angle. We find that, for the primary rainbow, it provides a quantitatively accurate approximation to the exact Lorenz-Mie-Debye theory of the rainbow for a much wider range of sizes of spherical water drops than does the original version of Airy theory, but still has stringent limitations for the second-order rainbow an
