[[alternative]]The Evaluations and Effects of Keyboard Operating for Schoolkids with Cerebral Palsy
[[abstract]]The keyboard is the most commonly used input method for interfacing with computers. When using a keyboard is not possible, alternative computer input methods are needed. The purpose of this study is to develop an evaluation system for traditional keyboard operation (ESTKO) for the schoolkids with cerebral palsy. The design of ESTKO is divided into two parts, including the hardware interface which collect data for subject’s keyboard operations and the software programs which analysis those data. A occupational therapist or a examinant can make evaluation and suggestion reports for the subject then. This study contains three stages, which are 1. taking the subject’s keyboard operation types into 5 categories such as “normal”, ”repetition”, ”error”, “direction” and “mixed” types and then identifying which type each subject is belonged to, 2.with single subject experiment research method, giving each subject one of the four recommendation including “parameter adjustments for Windows assistive tools ”, “keyboard directions setting” , “body assistive tools ”, “alternative keyboards ”, and 3. evaluating the effects of keyboard operations for each subject with intervention respectively. For those who cannot smoothly use keyboard with interventions, a screen keyboard is recommended or an occupational therapist is introduced to make further evaluations.

El Chichán Chob y la Casa del Venado, Chichén Itzá, Yucatán.. Anales del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia. Num. 48 Tomo XIX (1966) Sexta Época (1939-1966)
La forma arquitectónica del Chichán Chob y de la Casa del Venado son muy semejantes. Además de haber sido construidas sobre plataformas casi idénticas, ambas tienen muy parecidas cornisas, plintos, construcción de los techos, crestería, bóvedas y muros de piedra. Otra similitud es la de la separación de sus tres cámaras y sus anillos de piedra asociados con las molduras superiores. A mi parecer, estos dos edificios son únicos en el uso de este tipo de anillos; sin embargo, no tengo una idea precisa sobre su uso original, a no ser que hayan sido puramente decorativos. Aun cuando la Casa del Venado carece de un juego de pelota, las características compartidas por las dos estructuras indican firmemente que una de ellas es una copia parcial de la otra o que ambas fueron diseñadas por el mismo arquitecto con solamente unos años de diferencia entre sí. Si la fecha obtenida por Bolles en 1962 por Carbono 14 (de una de las vigas de la bóveda en el corredor del Chichán Chob) es válida, la construcción ocurrió durante la primera parte del siglo VII d. C. En una fecha más tardía, ambos edificios sufrieron ciertas modificaciones. Si la fachada volante del Chichán Chob es una adición secundaria a la estructura, puede ser razonable asumir que esta característica, tanto como la de la figura fálica, los incensarios y las jarras, manifiestan un cambio en el uso original del edificio, pero su función, que presumo haya sido ceremonial, continuó siendo la misma. Sin embargo, la adición de las escalinatas secundarias frente a las entradas no indica un cambio en el uso o función del edificio, sino que tal vez haya sido una innovación arquitectónica, al igual que el techo secundario que cubre el espacio entre la fachada volante y la crestería. La adición de la cabeza de serpiente a la escalinata de la Casa del Venado puede indicar que el edificio estuvo dedicado a su culto durante el período tolteca, o más tarde. El altar al descubierto sugiere la posibilidad de que las ceremonias religiosas hayan llegado a ser más públicas en la Casa del Venado durante el período de Mayapán de lo que fueron anteriormente. Una interpretación del significado de la pintura del venado, o de lo que ésta representa, sería un poco aventurada, restando que nuevas investigaciones arqueológicas, etnográficas y documentarías arrojen más luz sobre este punto.Andrews, E.

A Decomposition Study of Health Status Disparities among Older Adults with Multimorbidity: a Multiple Level Model Based on Health Double Factors
Background Currently, research on the factors influencing the health status of older adults with multimorbidity in China is scattered, and it is difficult to give a comprehensive consideration from a holistic perspective, and the contribution of factors leading to health disparities is not explored, resulting in the ineffectiveness of current health management often programs in older adults with multimorbidity. Objective By introducing a health bifactor model, this study aims to understand the endogenous and exogenous influencing factors and their contributions to the health of older adults with multimorbidity and provide a practical basis for developing precise health management plans for older adults with multimorbidity. Methods In this study, using the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) 2018 data and introducing the two-factor model of health developed from the Grossman health production function (including both endogenous and exogenous aspects of health determinants). First, the Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to analyze whether there were differences in the health status of older adults with multimorbidity by gender. Secondly, the OLS regression model was used to analyze the mechanism of the two-factor model of health on the health of older adults with multimorbidity. Finally, the Shapley value method was further used to decompose the contribution of health endogenous factors to their health. Results The study found that factors such as still drinking alcohol, having no disease control methods, being satisfied with medical services, having a high level of education, having a pension, not using health services, attending free health checks, caring for grandchildren and being satisfied with their children's relationship were more likely to improve the health of older people with multiple chronic conditions. The results of the Shapley decomposition showed that socioeconomic status was the most important factor in the full sample, while family health support, health-related behaviors, and health-related behaviors were the most important factors. Coping strategies was the next most important, and social health resources was the least influential. In the gender subgroup analysis, socioeconomic status remained the most important factor; for older men with multiple chronic illnesses, health-related behaviors were the next most important factor; for older women with multiple chronic illnesses, coping strategies were the next most important. Conclusion The health status of older men with multimorbidity is better than that of women, socioeconomic status is the most important factor affecting the health of older adults with multimorbidity, and the remaining four dimensions have different contributions to the health differences between men and women. It is recommended that precise health management should be implemented according to the size of the contribution of each dimension of different health endogenous factors to improve the health status of older adults with multimorbidity with maximum benefit
