Computer-Aided Music Therapy Evaluation: Investigating and Testing the Music Therapy Logbook Prototype 1 System
No full textThis thesis describes the investigation and testing of a prototype music therapy practice evaluation system: Music Therapy Logbook, Prototype 1. Such a system is intended to be used by music therapists as an aid to their existing evaluation techniques. The investigation of user needs, the multi-disciplinary team work, the pre-field and field recording tests, and the computational music analysis tests are each presented in turn, preceded by an in depth literature review on historical and existing music therapy evaluation methods. A final chapter presents investigative design work for proposed user interface software pages for the Music Therapy Logbook system. Four surveys are presented (n = 6, n = 10, n = 44, n =125). These gathered information on current music therapy evaluation methods, therapists‘ suggested functions for the system, and therapists‘ attitudes towards using the proposed automatic and semi-automatic music therapy evaluation functions, some of which were tested during the research period. The results indicate enthusiasm for using the system to; record individual music therapy sessions, create written notes linked to recordings and undertake automatic and/or semi-automatic computer aided music therapy analysis; the main purpose of which is to quantify changes in a therapist‘s and patient‘s use of music over time, (Streeter, 2010). Simulated music therapy improvisations were recorded and analysed. The system was then used by a music therapist working in a neuro-disability unit, to record individual therapy sessions with patients with acquired brain injuries. These recordings constitute the first music therapy audio recordings employing multi-track audio recording techniques, using existing radio microphone technology. The computational music analysis tests applied to the recordings are the first such tests to be applied to recordings of music therapy sessions in which an individual patient played acoustic, rather than MIDI, instruments. The findings prove it is possible to gather objective evidence of changes in a patient‘s and therapist‘s use of music over time, using the Music Therapy Logbook Prototype 1 system

Streeter Dysplasia, from Pelvic to Digits: A Case Report
No full textBackground: Streeter dysplasia is a term to describe fetal congenital syndrome which mainly characterized by constriction band on appendages, prenatal amputations of extremities, and acrosyndactyly. This syndrome has wide range of clinical manifestation between patients, as reflected by many other terms to describe this syndrome. Case: The author reported five cases of Streeter dysplasia with constriction band on different locations of the body, with a patient having a constriction band around pelvic and other multiple anomalies, patient with constriction around leg and caused acute limb ischemic, and several cases of acrosyndactyly around hand and foot. Result and Conclusion: Constriction band release surgery, as well as correction surgery for other abnormality was performed, either by direct closure or Z-plasty with satisfactory result in functional and aesthetic
Pioneer spirit: A critical preface for Bess Streeter Aldrich\u27s Song of Years
No full textThis research project was conducted for the purpose of writing a critical preface for the author Bess Streeter Aldrich\u27s 1939 novel Song of Years. Aldrich began receiving mainstream critical success in 1911 when The Ladies Home Journal published the first of many of her stories. Over the next forty years, Aldrich wrote over one hundred short stories and eight novels, all of which were published and celebrated worldwide. Yet many factors have kept Aldrich out of the established literary canon and have contributed to her being relegated to the lesser tiers of American literature. Her style of writing, considered sentimental by some critics, her choice of hopeful and positive story lines, as well as her designation as a regionalist author have all played significant roles in her being shunned or forgotten by critics and in causing many of her books, including Song of Years, to fall out of print. This research, in the form of a critical preface, argues that Bess Streeter Aldrich\u27s works are representative of the true nature of the lives of the pioneers who settled the Midwest of the United States and that the pedagogical value of her novels warrants a justifiable place for her among the respected authors of the American modern literary canon

Bioprinted cardiac patch composed of cardiac progenitor cells and extracellular matrix for heart repair and regeneration
No full textStatement of Purpose: The heart has limited capacity for repair after surgery in congenital patients. Human cardiac progenitor cells (hCPCs) have the potential to repair the damaged myocardium by releasing pro-reparative paracrine signals such as growth factors and exosomes. Although clinical trials involving hCPCs have shown functional improvements, the outcomes have been modest, and suffer from limited cell retention and poor functionality. Injectable cardiac extracellular matrix (cECM) has been beneficial in improving adult heart function post-infarct and has been shown to induce hCPCs towards a regenerative phenotype. The inclusion of hCPCs within a 3D cECM scaffold can allow for improved hCPC retention and reparative potential. To this end, we have developed a bioprinted patch composed of both hCPCs and cECM which, when attached epicardially on the damaged myocardium, will allow for cardiac repair in patients through release of paracrine factors. The patch was generated through 3D bioprinting, which allowed for high degrees of material control and tissue specificity for cardiac repair and regeneration
