▼ Child anxiety is a significant problem for youth. Recent treatment research has pointed to parent accommodating behaviors being an integral part in the maintenance of child anxiety in general, as well as a major factor in treatment outcome. However, less is known about what other parent factors may relate to whether a parent will be more or less likely to accommodate. The current study examined how specific maternal parent factors relate to accommodating behavior. Participants included 148 mother-child dyads recruited from the Lubbock community. The dyads completed self-report and other-report surveys assessing their symptoms of anxiety and depression, parenting behaviors of warmth, hostility/rejection/neglect (HRN), behavioral control, as well as
accommodation.
A series of hierarchal linear regression analyses and hierarchal binary logistic regression analyses were utilized. Results indicated that maternal-report of maternal anxiety symptoms positively related to child-report of
accommodation, after (but not before) controlling for comorbid maternal depression symptoms. Maternal-report of maternal depression symptoms did not relate to child-report of
accommodation, before or after controlling for comorbid maternal anxiety symptoms. Maternal-report of warmth and behavioral control did not interact to significantly predict child-report of
accommodation. Child-report of
accommodation and child-report of their own anxiety symptoms did not interact to significantly predict child-report of maternal HRN. Supplemental/exploratory analyses additionally found both maternal- and child-report of behavioral control significantly and uniquely distinguished between children who reported subclinical/clinical anxiety symptoms compared to children who reported average total anxiety symptoms, whereas maternal- and child-report of
accommodation and warmth did not. Lastly, no maternal- or child-report of child anxiety subtype symptom subtypes (generalized anxiety, separation anxiety/phobia, or social anxiety) interacted with child age to significantly predict
accommodation; however, there was a significant main effect of child age and maternal-report (but not child-report) of
accommodation, indicating that as children aged mothers reported less
accommodation. Clinical and methodological implications of the findings, as well as future directions for research are discussed.

▼ Nurses with disabilities employed in the healthcare industry reported leaving due to lack of
accommodation.
Accommodation is a complex phenomenon that is not well understood by the nursing profession. There is scarce published research on the experience and process of
accommodation as perceived by nurses with disabilities in the workplace. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the experience, process, and how to facilitate an ideal process of
accommodation in the workplace. Nurses were recruited for this study from flyer announcements posted on various bulletin boards and websites. The principal investigator used a semi-structured interview protocol to telephone interview a purposive sample of 21 U.S. Registered Nurses with disabilities who experienced
accommodation in the workplace. Data were analyzed using the method of constant comparison. The analysis indicated that nurses with disabilities often “self-accommodate,” there was no formal process of
accommodation in the workplace, and employers were resistant to provide
accommodation requests. Nurses with disabilities recommended employers be active, flexible, and accountable to provide nurses with
accommodation. Based on these findings, employers should develop a streamlined process of
accommodation to help nurses with disabilities navigate through the process of
accommodation, and nurses with disabilities need to feel “safe” requesting
accommodation in the workplace. This study is relevant for nurses with disabilities and employers who experience
accommodation in the workplace, and many suggestions are offered by nurses on how nurses and employers can facilitate an ideal “proactive” process of
accommodation in the workplace. Development of a process of
accommodation, education on
accommodation, and retention of nurses with disabilities in the profession are imperative to ensure an adequate and diverse nursing workforce in the future.

▼ This project is a method for recording a podcast of the text of a social studies lesson. The method includes an adaptation of the SCROL study strategy to scaffold learning by teaching the organization of text. The method was developed to give teachers a systematic guide to use podcasts as an
accommodation for students who are not able to read social studies texts at their grade level. Podcasting is a twenty-first century technology that can be utilized to grant auditory access to curriculum. Auditory texts allow a student to use their listening comprehension. This project is also an example of instruction that uses the Universal Design for Learning. A pilot single case research study was conducted to field-test the podcast method. The results showed that this method of recording and using a podcast can increase the comprehension scores of grade level social studies texts for students who have a history of difficulty with reading and understanding these texts.

▼ This document proposes a study to further understand the relevance of addressing parental
accommodation in the treatment of childhood anxiety disorders and further evaluate the value of involving parents in treatment. Research looking at youth with OCD has examined the impact of addressing
accommodation with parents during treatment, but no studies to date have looked at targeting parental
accommodation when treating youth with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety Disorder, and Social Phobia. Additionally, although there have been a number of studies that have looked at generally including parents in CBT interventions for anxiety, there have been mixed results on its impact and benefit. Therefore the purpose of this present study is to understand the relationship between
accommodation and anxiety in the context of treatment. The study involves gathering data from a sample of anxiety-disordered youth and their parents, who are participating in an ongoing intervention study that compares CBT with a parent component to child-only CBT. It is hypothesized that by addressing
accommodation with parents in CBT treatment through a parent-training component, the number of accommodating behaviors will be reduced, and that this reduction in
accommodation will be correlated with improvements in child treatment outcomes.

▼ El ojo proyecta información desde el mundo tridimensional a la retina, la cual es una superficie bidimensional. Por este motivo, teóricamente sólo objetos que se encuentren en el plano conjugado a la retina pueden ser enfocados de forma correcta y, por tanto, objetos que se encuentren por delante o por detrás del plano conjugado, serán percibidos como imágenes borrosas. Por suerte, la acomodación ocular permite al ojo joven ver objetos situados a diferentes distancias de forma nítida. Este sistema de autoenfoque se consigue gracias al cambio de potencia dióptrica experimentado por el ojo como consecuencia del cambio en la morfología del cristalino.
Debido a la alta frecuencia temporal de las ondas electromagnéticas del espectro visible, el ojo solo es capaz de detectar la intensidad de dichas ondas, perdiéndose inicialmente la información referente a la composición espectral y la distancia del objeto en el que la luz se refleja para posteriormente alcanzar la retina. El sistema visual, sin embargo, usa estrategias para tratar de recuperar la información perdida. Por ejemplo, existen tres tipos distintos de conos que responden de manera diferente a la luz con una distribución espectral concreta, permitiendo al cerebro interpretar la información referente al color de los objetos. Por otra parte, para recuperar la información sobre la distancia de la fuente de luz, el sistema visual compara la disparidad entre dos imágenes que provienen de dos ojos distintos, interpretando profundidad. Se sabe que esta información es usada para acomodar. Es bien sabido que somos capaces de acomodar en condiciones monoculares. Para ello el sistema visual aprende a detectar distancias a partir de la distancia aparente, tamaño cambiante, interposición de objetos, etc. Todos estos factores son conocidos como pistas monoculares de la percepción de la profundidad y son usados por el sistema visual para acomodar correctamente.
Sin embargo, aun cuando estas pistas monoculares son eliminadas, la mayoría de los ojos siguen siendo capaces de acomodar de forma correcta. Esto es debido a que existen otras pistas, conocidas como pistas ópticas, que proveen información al sistema visual para saber hacia qué sentido y cuánto debe acomodar. Las pistas ópticas se basan en la imagen formada en la retina. Estas pistas pueden ser impares (o unsigned), si dan información acerca de la magnitud y sentido de la acomodación, o pares (signed), si solo dan información acerca de la magnitud. Por ejemplo, la borrosidad provocada por el desenfoque es una pista de tipo unsigned que puede activar el sistema acomodativo. Además, existen otras pistas ópticas que están basadas en que la imagen retiniana es diferente si se forman delante (desenfoque miópico) o detrás de la retina (desenfoque hipermetrópico), con lo cual son pistas de tipo signed. Entre este tipo de pistas se encuentra la aberración cromática longitudinal, las aberraciones monocromáticas de orden par (excepto el desenfoque), el efecto Stiles-Crawford y las pupilas con forma irregular. Todas ellas…

▼ Tourism is not only an economic activity of
importance in as much as it earns a country foreign exchange and
provides employment it can also correct adverse trade balance and
regional imbalances as it is both a labour intensive and capital
intensive activity It is an important medium of socio cultural
development capable of promoting lasting goodwill and friendship
among the nations of the world It also helps in the regional
development of the country and acts as a means of social education
and better understanding among the people of different regions in
the country In the long run the most important contribution of
tourism is in the area of developing understanding among varied
cultures and life styles Thus it is clear that tourism is a fast
growing industry which has vast and inexhaustible potentials to
enhance national income foreign exchange reserves and opportunities
of employment to the growing millions of the country as well
Further its impact on the environment of an economy is also fairly
enormous This present study is an attempt to evaluate the
commercial aspects of tourism in terms of accommodation and
transportation in Tirunelveli district newline

▼ There is a real relationship between the HIV/AIDS
pandemic and the world of work. The complexities in the
relationship are strengthened by the long asymptomatic period of
the disease and its significant presence among a certain age group
that forms a major part of the work force. The presence of HIV/AIDS
in a workplace, if not effectively managed, leads to unpleasant
effects such as an increase in the cost of production, which
translates into income loss and capital depletion. Superficial
knowledge of these factors often makes the workplace hostile and
leads to a culture of discrimination in which the well-being and
rights of those affected by the virus are either undermined or out
rightly ignored. An effective way of mitigating these negative
effects is the provision of workplace reasonable accommodation
measures. This paper proposes pragmatic legal ways of meeting the
reasonable accommodation needs of people living with HIV/AIDS in
Canada.

▼ A hotel consists of two major components, the business operations and the physical property. These two components although distinctively different, are very much interdependent and affect the hotel’s ability to succeed. An understanding of this important duality is evident in the increasingly market driven nature of hotel design. More diverse and innovative new hotel concepts are constantly being developed based on the identification of gaps in hotel markets, or the creation of new market segments. However, the common perception of the hotel property as being a static and permanent entity remains the same. Despite the volatile and ever‐changing nature of hotel markets, shortterm demand fluctuations have always been one of the biggest concerns and topics of discussion for hotel management and marketing.
While there has been plenty of research into the problems and implications that short‐term demand fluctuations have on hotel performance and profitability, common approaches to dealing with demand changes are very much restricted by the physical hotel design, and limited to strategic management and marketing tactics that are often inadequate to deal with the problem.
This thesis identifies a gap in the knowledge between hotel design and short‐term demand fluctuations. Through research and design, it aims to bridge the gap by directing a design response targeted specifically at the nature of shortterm demand fluctuations. The outcome of this thesis is the design of a new hotel proposed for Wellington, New Zealand. The design demonstrates how particular flexible design interventions can allow the hotel property to be more responsive to short‐term demand fluctuations, and its potential to improve business performance and operating efficiency.

▼ Purpose: to study the inward and forward movement of
the ciliary muscle during
accommodation and to investigate the
effects of one hour of reading on the ciliary muscle behavior in
young adults.Methods: Subjects included 23 young adults with a mean
age of 23.7 ± 1.9 years. Images of the temporal ciliary muscle of
the right eye were obtained using the Visante™ Anterior Segment
Ocular Coherence Tomography while accommodative response was
monitored simultaneously by the Power-Refractor. Four images were
taken at each accommodative response level (0, 4.0 and 6.0 D)
before and after one hour of reading. Ciliary muscle thickness was
measured at every 0.25 mm posterior to the scleral spur. SSMAX,
which is the distance between scleral spur and the thickest point
of the muscle (CMTMAX), was also measured. The change in the
ciliary muscle thickness and SSMAX with
accommodation from 0 to 4.0
D and 0 to 6.0 D was calculated. Paired t-tests were used to
determine if the ciliary muscle thickness and SSMAX for the 4.0 and
6.0 diopters of accommodative response were different after one
hour of reading.Results: Before one hour of reading, for the change
from 0 to 4.0 D, CMTMAX increased by 78.09 ± 64.80 µm (p <
0.0001), CMT1 increased by 69.25 ± 61.37 µm (p < 0.0001) and
SSMAX decreased by -156.57 ± 265.03µm (p = 0.0097). For the change
from 0 to 6.0 D, CMTMAX increased by 95.64 ± 60.86 µm (p <
0.0001), CMT1 increased by 76.75 ± 56.80 (p < 0.0001) and SSMAX
decreased by -209.34 ± 216.53 µm (p = 0.0001). A period of one hour
of reading had no effect on CMTMAX, CMT1 and SSMAX for either the
4.0 D condition (p = 0.4, 0.2, 0.2 respectively) or the 6.0 D
condition (p = 0.3, 0.3, 0.8 respectively). Conclusions: Using the
Visante images, we were able to show that during
accommodation, the
ciliary muscle becomes thicker anteriorly and thinner posteriorly
while the muscle apex moves forward, demonstrated by the decrease
in SSMAX. The results also suggest that, on average, the amount of
thickening or thinning and the forward movement of the ciliary
muscle are not altered after an extended period of reading in young
adults. Future investigations will consider whether or not the
overall dimensions of the ciliary muscle impact the
accommodation
of the ciliary muscle after extended reading and/or how advancing
age affects the forward and inward movement of the ciliary
muscle.

▼ Es bien sabido que el ojo es capaz de cambiar su potencia con el fin de enfocar a objetos ubicados a diferentes distancias. El cambio en enfoque del ojo humano se denomina acomodación y es vital para el rendimiento visual del mismo ya que la acomodación tiene una contribución esencial para dicho rendimiento. La calidad de la imagen retiniana también influye en el rendimiento visual del ojo humano así como en la resolución de las imágenes formadas en la retina. La calidad de la imagen retiniana se describe en términos de aberraciones oculares.
El objetivo de esta Tesis fue investigar la respuesta del cristalino a diferentes señales ópticas. Para lograr el objetivo del estudio se utilizaron las tecnologías más ampliamente aceptadas y poderosas de detección de frente de onda, tomografía de coherencia óptica y óptica adaptativa con el fin de evaluar objetivamente el mecanismo de acomodación del ojo humano bajo diferentes condiciones. En particular, inicialmente se evaluó la respuesta acomodativa después de períodos cortos de lectura con dos dispositivos electrónicos diferentes así como las diferencias potenciales en la respuesta acomodativa a varias vergencias de estímulo utilizando un aberrómetro de frente de onda. Las respuestas de acomodación obtenidas no se vieron afectadas por los dispositivos electrónicos empleados debido principalmente a la edad temprana y al nivel de amplitud de acomodación de los sujetos evaluados. A continuación, se realizó un estudio entre diferentes grupos de edad para evaluar los cambios que ocurren en las estructuras principales que intervienen en el proceso de acomodación en el segmento anterior del ojo (es decir, la curvatura del cristalino y el área del músculo ciliar) utilizando tomografía de coherencia óptica. Se identificó que existen variaciones significativas en las estructuras del segmento anterior que se producen con el proceso de acomodación. Mientras que con el envejecimiento, el ojo experimenta algunos cambios anatómicos significativos que tienen un impacto en la calidad de la visión y, por tanto, de la calidad de vida. Por último, utilizando el sistema de óptica adaptativa, se investigó cómo las aberraciones monocromáticas de alto orden influyen en la respuesta de acomodación del ojo. Más específicamente, la respuesta de acomodación del ojo de los sujetos se midió bajo diferentes condiciones; estando presentes las aberraciones naturales y corrigiéndose las aberraciones pares e impares de alto orden. Las aberraciones pares e impares de alto orden no estaban ayudando al sistema visual a elegir la dirección correcta de acomodación ya que con su corrección parcial el rendimiento acomodativo no se vió afectado en comparación con la condición de la presencia de todas las aberraciones.
Esta Tesis ha proporcionado valiosa información sobre el mecanismo acomodativo y el proceso de envejecimiento del ojo que puede ser útil para mejorar la calidad de la visión y la vida de las personas con diferentes edades.

▼ The thesis presented in this paper is an attempt to quantify generally preferred amounts
of virtual image sharpening in augmented reality applications. This preferred amount of
sharpening is sought after in an effort to alleviate eye fatigue, and other negative symptoms,
caused by
accommodation switching between virtual images and real objects in augmented
reality (AR) systems. This is an important area of research within the AR world due to the
presence of many AR applications that supplement the real world with virtual information,
often in the form of virtual text for users to read. An experiment, involving human subjects
choosing between higher and lower sharpening amounts, was run to expose preferred
amounts of sharpening or patterns of chosen amounts in relation to a number of variables
within the experiment; those variables are: virtual text accommodative distance, real text
accommodative distance, and the object of focus (real or virtual). The results of this experimentation
may benefit future AR research and implementations, specifically in how they
handle users switching focus.

▼ Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with changes in relationship functioning, which are in turn hypothesized to influence the trajectory of PTSD symptoms. One focus of recent research is romantic partners'
accommodation of trauma survivors' symptoms. In the context of PTSD, such
accommodation may involve restricting noise to avoid provoking a startle response, limiting social engagements if survivors are nervous when in public, and/or limiting difficult discussions to avoid arguments or emotionally laden topics. Emerging research shows that partners'
accommodation may interfere with survivors' response to treatment for PTSD, and it is associated with psychological and relationship distress in partners. To date, however, no studies have explored the transactional associations of PTSD symptoms and
accommodation across multiple time points to determine the precise direction of effects. The current study used a daily diary format to explore daily associations of PTSD symptoms with partner symptom
accommodation over a 2-week period. Daily diaries involve repeated quantitative assessment of the same phenomena across a specified period of time. In addition to allowing for tests of directionality in associations, daily diary studies greatly reduce retrospective bias on self-report measures.
In the current study, participants were 64 male military service members who had deployed at least once since September 11, 2001, and their female civilian romantic partners. Service members had subclinical or clinical levels of PTSD, and all couples were cohabiting. Cross-lagged autoregressive path analyses assessed the stability of both service members' PTSD and partners'
accommodation across the 14 days, as well as the prospective associations of earlier PTSD with later
accommodation and of earlier
accommodation with later PTSD (i.e., cross-lag paths). After exploring these associations using total PTSD symptom severity, I also conducted four additional models evaluating each PTSD symptom cluster (intrusion, situational avoidance, emotional numbing, and hyperarousal) independently, instead of total PTSD. I used Bayesian estimation to obtain point estimates as well as Bayesian Credible Intervals (CIs) for paths of interest. In all models, total PTSD and individual PTSD clusters were highly stable across time.
Accommodation was also highly stable across time, albeit less so than PTSD. In all models, earlier total PTSD and PTSD clusters were significantly and positively associated with later
accommodation. However, earlier
accommodation was not significantly associated with later PTSD or clusters, with one exception. The model assessing associations of situational avoidance with
accommodation suggested a bidirectional effect, with significant positive associations from earlier situational avoidance to later
accommodation and vice versa. Collectively, the results suggest that PTSD symptoms may lead to greater accommodating behaviors in romantic partners. However, partner
accommodation seems to contribute only to greater…

▼ Introduction: Accommodation and vergence, in unison, help in maintaining a clear and single binocular vision, a linchpin for normal vision development. Under natural viewing conditions, accommodation and vergence systems mutually interact with each other through a unique cross-link mechanism. Based on the empirical data from visually normal adults, several control theory models were proposed to predict the behavior of accommodation and vergence. Progressive myopic children, however, exhibit a transient but consistent abnormal accommodative behavior which is not predicted by the currently accepted models. Progressive myopes exhibit high accommodative adaptation, elevated AC output coupled with high accommodative lags. Several predictions, both sensory and motor origin, have been proposed to explain this behavior however they failed to predict this behavior completely. Furthermore, empirical conclusions on the impact of myopia over accommodation and blur sensitivity were mostly based on data obtained from adult population. Accordingly, this dissertation examined the sensory and motor mechanism of accommodation in young children with and without progressive myopia. Data from children were also compared to adults.
Methods: 12 children (8-13 years), 6 myopic and 6 non-myopic, and 6 naïve adults (25-33 years) were recruited for the purpose of this dissertation. Varying demands of accommodation were stimulated using a Badal optical system and recorded using custom-built dynamic photorefraction system (DPRS). Theoretical and empirical designs were developed to identify the ideal sampling rate necessary to measure a dynamic accommodative response. First and second order main sequence relationship and strength of the cross-link (CA) response was tested in the first experiment. In the second experiment, blur discrimination thresholds were tested psychophysically using simulated blur targets at two different stimulus demands. Furthermore, objective DOF and sensitivity of accommodative system to blur were examined using known demands of lens defocus and compared across different subject groups.
Results: The new custom built high speed photorefractor (DPRS) was found to be superior in measuring dynamic accommodation compared to the commercially available Power Refractor (p <0.001). The current dissertation makes four major contributions to the field of accommodation and myopia: first, a motor deficit such as a sluggish or rigid plant cannot explain the abnormal behavior of accommodation in myopes. This was established based on the findings of a similar first and second order main sequence relationship between myopes and non-myopes (p > 0.05). Also, CA/C measures were not found to be attenuated as would be expected with a rigid plant. Novel simulations with reduced blur sensitivity coupled with a motor recalibration of AC gain did predict the myopic behavior. Second, atypical response patterns of accommodation such as the dynamic overshoots and double step responses were reported to exist with blur-driven accommodation. These…

▼ This thesis explores the reasons that have led the framers of the constitution to centralize powers in the federal government of Nepal, despite claims for accommodation by its minority groups. It contends that the centralized model is chosen to neutralize the potential risk of secession. Taking discourse analysis as its methodological approach, the thesis examines this argument in two sections. First, it develops seven measures: the recognition of minorities, the demarcation of sub-unit boundaries, the distribution of powers, the constitutional amending formula, the appointment process of the Judges in the Supreme Court, the jurisdiction of the upper house in the federal parliament, and the constitutional (a)symmetries, and applies them in the constitution. Second, it assumes that the fear of disintegration existed in the polity due to i) Maoists’ interpretation of the ‘right to self-determination’ ii) utterances of secession threats by regional leaders and, iii) the foreign intervention in the domestic politics of Nepal. In its attempt to dampen the risk of disintegration, the current arrangement of the Nepali state fails to accommodate the demands for the ‘right to self-determination’ and autonomy, further augmenting the discontent among minorities. Despite the change in the structure, the thesis concludes that the present design has not lost the fundamental character of the previous unitary state that repressed diversity and claimed to maintain the territorial integrity. In order to reach this conclusion, official discourses such as the manifestos of political parties, their debates as recorded in the CA transcripts, and the official statements of the governments have been analyzed.

▼ D.Phil.
Under certain conditions the human visual system accommodates and postures at a position classically known as the dark focus. The dark focus is usually presented as a spherical phenomenon. The characteristics of the dark focus that can be conveyed by its spherical presentation are limiting: little representation can be given of the characteristics of the variation that occurs when measurements are taken of the dark focus (for example under dark conditions); no indication can be given of any antistigmatic (non-spherical) change or variation; differences in variation between light and dark conditions cannot be shown or detected using classical methods of analysis; meridional characteristics of the dark focus cannot be represented, and so on. In this thesis I have preferred to coin and use the term dark refraction shift (defined here as: 8F = F dark- Flight) for what has classically been known as the dark focus. I have done so because I believe that the term is a better description of what happens to the human visual system under dark conditions. Multivariate methods of analysis allow for a much more detailed, and complete, presentation ofthe dark refraction shift and its variation. The limitations of methods used previously and mentioned above are overcome when multivariate methods are used to analyze and present dark refraction shift data. This thesis presents the dark refraction shift and its various characteristics, making use of multivariate methods that are used for this purpose for the first time. A Hoya AR550 autorefractor, set to measure refractive state to the nearest 0.01 D, was used to take 50 measurements at a time of the refractive state of twenty subjects under varying conditions ofluminance. The autorefractor was re-focused after each measurement. In the light condition, the subject was positioned in front of the autorefractor, the room lights were left switched on and the fixation target inside the instrument was visible to the subject. 50 measurements were then taken under these conditions. A second set of measurements was then taken under the dark condition. In the dark condition measurements the subject was left in complete darkness for five minutes to allow the accommodative system to settle at the dark focus. No fixation target was visible to the subject who remained in complete darkness for the duration of the dark condition measurements. 50 autorefractor measurements were taken under these conditions. Two measurement sessions were conducted where the order of the light and dark conditions were reversed. In the case of each subject the order of light versus dark condition measurements was determined randomly for the initial session and reversed in the second session. Subjects had to fulfill certain selection criteria; the refractive state had to have a cylinder equivalent dioptric strength of less than or equal to 6 D, the visual acuity had to be 6/6 or better in the right eye, subjects with strabismus were eliminated and subjects with any observable ocular pathology were not accepted.…

▼ M.Phil.
The anterior surface of the eye, especially the corneal curvature, is of importance in optometric and ophthalmic examinations. Pathological, surgical and contact lens induced changes to the cornea can have a significant influence on vision. It is therefore necessary to study the structure, curvature, and factors that influence the cornea. Each study contributes to a greater understanding about the nature of the anterior surface of the eye. Previous studies showed that physical exercise has an effect on the eye. These studies however looked at changes in intraocular pressure, visual acuity and other visual functions due to exercise. No study was found in the literature that investigated the effect of exercise on keratometric variation or on corneal curvature. A study done by Cronje-Dunn (1995) suggested the possibility of exercise influencing keratometric variation and the mean keratometric measurement. Due to little research in this area and the suggestions that exercise might influence keratometric variation, it was decided to investigate the influence of physical exercise on keratometric variation. In this study, 14 subjects took part in an experiment. The experiment consisted of three sets of keratometer readings obtained for each subject. The first set of readings was obtained before exercise. Directly after the first set of keratometer readings, the subject had to reach 85% of his predicted maximum heart rate on a stationary bicycle. Immediately after the cycling the second set of keratometric readings was obtained. After the second set of measurements the subject rested for an hour. The third set of keratometric readings was obtained after the hour of rest. The different sets of keratometric measurements were converted to h vectors. Transforming keratometric readings to h vectors and plotting the readings on threedimensional graphs representing symmetric dioptric power space make it possible to view the distribution or spread of the keratometric measurements and to define any variation in the measurements. The results from this dissertation indicate that keratometric variation and corneal curvature was influenced by physical exercise (cycling). Exercise increased variation in curvature around the vertical meridian and/or increased torsional variation in the horizontal and vertical meridians for most subjects. The increase in variation in curvature after exercise was greatest between the 80° and 120° meridian of the eye. This increase in keratometric variation after the cycling decreased after the rest period in most subjects. Little change in variation was noted in the curvital power around the horizontal meridian. Some subjects indicated a change in mean. The mean was greater around the vertical meridian either after the exercise and/or after the rest period.

▼ The educational practice known as inclusion, which is based on values of equal opportunity and diversity, enables students with disabilities to attend the same general education classes as typically developing peers. Inclusion is a legal requirement in the United States and South Korea, but factors facilitating inclusion likely differ across countries. The purpose of the study was to examine PreK-6 school teachers' beliefs about inclusive practices in the United States and South Korea and to present a more informed direction for the future of inclusive education in both countries. Seventy-four teachers from the US and 54 from South Korea participated via email for this study employing surveys. Teachers provided their beliefs about inclusion items on the My Thinking About Inclusion (MTAI) scale, a 28-question instrument, and also provided information about their own gender, years of experience, education level, and teaching practices. A statistically significant difference was found between the teachers of the two nations for the full survey scale. The teachers' training area (i.e., general education or special education) in the US was significantly associated with the belief toward inclusion, and special education teachers in both countries were more agreeable to inclusion than general education practitioners were as shown by the MTAI scale. A strong relationship between
accommodation and preparedness for disabilities was found. Most of the barrier factors to practicing inclusive education were considered substantial obstacles, but more so for South Korea teachers than US teachers. University coursework was the least preferred method for improving inclusive practices according to teachers in both countries. Based on the outcomes of the two nations' teachers' beliefs about inclusion, the author suggests that supportive practices, including collaboration between educators, professional development, partnerships with parents and families, and peer supports, be implemented within the two countries for the upkeep of inclusive practices.

Role of Accommodation in Clinical Measures of Proximal

▼ Proximal vergence is the subtype of vergence that is
stimulated by visual cues other than blur and disparity. There are
two major clinical methods to assess proximal vergence. In one of
these methods, termed the AC/A differencing method, proximal
vergence is determined by calculating the difference in vergence
change from the far-near AC/A method and the vergence change from
the gradient AC/A method (equated for the accommodative demand). In
the other method, termed the +2.50D method, the change in vergence
posture between distance viewing and near viewing through a +2.50D
lens is calculated. In assessing these values, it is typically
assumed that response
accommodation matched the change in
accommodative demand from distance to near, which would be 2.50D
for a 40cm near viewing distance. However, individuals often do not
alter their
accommodation by the amount of the accommodative
demand. Therefore, proximal values calculated using accommodative
responses might vary from proximal values that are calculated using
the accommodative demand. The purpose of the present research is to
determine the extent to which response
accommodation could
influence these methods of assessing proximal vergence, in order to
better understand how proximal vergence is measured and therefore
to better understand the relationship between proximal vergence and
the other vergence subtypes in future studies. Thirteen subjects
were recruited, ages 22-37, who underwent a battery of measurements
consisting of interpupillary distance, visual acuity, stereoacuity,
accommodative amplitudes, step vergence ranges, distance
heterophoria, and near heterophoria using various refractive
lenses. A Grand Seiko WR5100K autorefractor measured
accommodation.
Accommodative data revealed high accommodative lags in many
subjects, which influenced response AC/A ratios and response
proximal vergence results. Proximal vergence was then calculated in
four distinct ways, two based on stimulus measurements and two
taking response
accommodation into consideration. Statistical
analysis using t-tests showed no statistically significant
difference between any of these proximal vergence calculations
after using the Bonferonni correction (p>0.0083 for all
comparisons). Additionally, no statistically significant
relationship between measures of fusional vergence and measures for
proximal vergence were found (p>0.05) using linear regression
analysis. In conclusion, this study found that all four clinical
methods, using stimulus and response measurements, yielded similar
values.

▼ Fan 1 in the Shallow Auger Fan System records the
transition from ponded deposition in the Lobe Complex to bypass at
the top of the Channel Complex. The Lobe Complex, at the base of
Fan 1, exhibits characteristics typical of ponded deposits: it
onlaps the basin margin, exhibits a concentric isopach pattern, has
a lobe geometry in amplitude extraction, and is composed of
continuous seismic reflectors that have uniform thickness. The
transition from ponded to bypass is recorded by increasing
gradients along the four channels within the Channel Complex. The
slope accommodation is filled as these channels aggrade at the
sediment entry point. In the proximal reaches, the channels are
characterized by thick levee deposits and minimal incision.
Downdip, the levee deposit thickness decreases and incision
increases. Each channel aggrades to a single fixed gradient; once
this gradient is achieved, the channel avulses to an area of
greater accommodation. As the slope accommodation fills, channel
gradients in the proximal reaches decrease and sinuosity increases.
In the distal reaches of the channel, greater incision depths may
compartmentalize the underlying ponded deposits.

▼ Speech accommodation is a process in which an individual’s speech becomes more (convergence) or less (divergence) similar to their interlocutor’s speech. Individuals diverge to increase distance and reduce commonality between conversation partners (Shepard, Giles, Le Poire, 2001) based on social biases (Babel, 2010). Hypernasality is a negatively perceived (Blood Hyman, 1997; Watterson, Mancini, Brancamp, Lewis, 2013) speech disorder resulting from an excessive amount of acoustic energy emanating from the nasal cavity (Zajac Vallino, 2017). Since it is theorized that individuals diverge in negative social contexts (Shepard et al., 2001) and that hypernasality is negatively perceived (Blood Hyman, 1997; Watterson et al., 2013), we hypothesized that speakers would diverge from hypernasal speech. Speakers read sentences in response to hearing pre-recorded sentences with modelled hypernasal and typical speech. Results indicated that speakers inconsistently converged to typical levels of nasality and consistently diverged from hypernasal speech.

▼ El ojo proyecta información desde el mundo tridimensional a la retina, la cual es una superficie bidimensional. Por este motivo, teóricamente sólo objetos que se encuentren en el plano conjugado a la retina pueden ser enfocados de forma correcta y, por tanto, objetos que se encuentren por delante o por detrás del plano conjugado, serán percibidos como imágenes borrosas. Por suerte, la acomodación ocular permite al ojo joven ver objetos situados a diferentes distancias de forma nítida. Este sistema de autoenfoque se consigue gracias al cambio de potencia dióptrica experimentado por el ojo como consecuencia del cambio en la morfología del cristalino.
Debido a la alta frecuencia temporal de las ondas electromagnéticas del espectro visible, el ojo solo es capaz de detectar la intensidad de dichas ondas, perdiéndose inicialmente la información referente a la composición espectral y la distancia del objeto en el que la luz se refleja para posteriormente alcanzar la retina. El sistema visual, sin embargo, usa estrategias para tratar de recuperar la información perdida. Por ejemplo, existen tres tipos distintos de conos que responden de manera diferente a la luz con una distribución espectral concreta, permitiendo al cerebro interpretar la información referente al color de los objetos. Por otra parte, para recuperar la información sobre la distancia de la fuente de luz, el sistema visual compara la disparidad entre dos imágenes que provienen de dos ojos distintos, interpretando profundidad. Se sabe que esta información es usada para acomodar. Es bien sabido que somos capaces de acomodar en condiciones monoculares. Para ello el sistema visual aprende a detectar distancias a partir de la distancia aparente, tamaño cambiante, interposición de objetos, etc. Todos estos factores son conocidos como pistas monoculares de la percepción de la profundidad y son usados por el sistema visual para acomodar correctamente.
Sin embargo, aun cuando estas pistas monoculares son eliminadas, la mayoría de los ojos siguen siendo capaces de acomodar de forma correcta. Esto es debido a que existen otras pistas, conocidas como pistas ópticas, que proveen información al sistema visual para saber hacia qué sentido y cuánto debe acomodar. Las pistas ópticas se basan en la imagen formada en la retina. Estas pistas pueden ser impares (o unsigned), si dan información acerca de la magnitud y sentido de la acomodación, o pares (signed), si solo dan información acerca de la magnitud. Por ejemplo, la borrosidad provocada por el desenfoque es una pista de tipo unsigned que puede activar el sistema acomodativo. Además, existen otras pistas ópticas que están basadas en que la imagen retiniana es diferente si se forman delante (desenfoque miópico) o detrás de la retina (desenfoque hipermetrópico), con lo cual son pistas de tipo signed. Entre este tipo de pistas se encuentra la aberración cromática longitudinal, las aberraciones monocromáticas de orden par (excepto el desenfoque), el efecto Stiles-Crawford y las pupilas con forma irregular. Todas ellas…

▼ M.Phil.
Keratometric readings on three subjects were taken both during pregnancy and postpartum. One subject was visually non-compensated and did not require refractive correction, one was a contact lens wearer and one had undergone radial keratotomy. Twenty readings were taken by means of an automatic keratometer on each eye, morning and afternoon, every fortnight. The recent matrix method of optometric statistical analysis was employed and the results graphically compared and analysed. Findings indicate diurnal variations including variation in corneal curvature and variance through the course of normal pregnancy. Most evident was an increase in keratometric variation in all three subjects at the time of birth and a substantial decrease in corneal refractive power in the subject who had before undergone radial keratotomy. This result may have far-reaching implications on the long term prognosis of refractive surgery especially for females of child bearing age. Outliers representing transient increases in curvature were most common in the vertical meridian (indicating possible lid interaction), while the presence of bimodal distributions suggests a sensitivity of the automatic keratometer to changes in head posture.

▼ This thesis presents the first empirical findings of processes of destudentification, using the case study of the university town of Loughborough, UK. Within the context of recent profound changes to higher education, studenthood and local housing markets, the study is timely since understandings of the processes of destudentification and population restructuring remain underdeveloped (Sage et al. 2012a: 600). The thesis advances knowledge of student geographies in several ways. First, the thesis establishes a definition of the concept of destudentification, which encapsulates the complexities and diversities of the processes at local neighbourhood scales. Second, the discussion considers the overlaps between studentification and destudentification from a conceptual perspective. It is contended that although studentification (as a concrete outcome) is a necessary prerequisite for destudentification, destudentification is not an inevitable outcome of studentification. It is argued that both are distinct, yet interrelated, processes of urban change. Third, the empirical findings show that processes of destudentification and studentification can unfold in concurrent ways, and within and between different areas of a university town. Fourth, the discussion exposes some of the leading causes of destudentification and studentification, emphasising the complex interrelationships between the balance of supply and demand of student accommodation, and the ways that higher education institutions, accommodation providers and the student population mediate and influence the dynamic production and consumption of student housing. It is concluded that an understanding of the complex and diverse relationships between geographies of destudentification and studentification is essential for progressing knowledge of processes of urban change in university towns and cities.

▼ The dark focus is a resting state of accommodation, which occurs when there are not enough stimuli for the eye to focus on. This means that the eye becomes more myopic and some people notice a blur for example at night time, more known as night myopia. In this study the dark focus in Swedish myopes is measured and any difference between early and late onset myopes is investigated. Method: The dominant eye of 56 myopes was first measured with static retinoscopy, using a distant target, and then with near retinoscopy, with the retinoscope beam as the target. The full working distance of 2.00 D was subtracted in both methods and the values were compared. The difference, if any, was the dark focus. Results: The mean value of dark focus was 0.53 D ± 0.26 for the entire group. The mean value for early onset myopes was 0.56 D ± 0.29 and for late onset myopes the mean value was 0.47 D ± 0.21. This showed no significant difference (p-value = 0.18). No significant correlation between amount of refractive error and dark focus was found. Conclusion: The Swedish myopes in this study have a smaller mean value of dark focus than mean values found in other studies using the same technique and the previous findings that early and late onset myopes differ in mean values of dark focus is not applied to this study.

▼ Psychology
Research supports a relationship between parenting behaviors and anxiety in youth, yet few studies have examined parental accommodation in the context of youth with anxiety disorders other than obsessive-compulsive disorder. Furthermore, little is known about the influence of child behaviors on parental accommodation and how accommodation relates to other parent and child factors. The present study examined the effect of child distress on maternal accommodation and the relationship between maternal accommodation and other parent and child factors in a sample of youth with anxiety disorders aged 7-17 (N = 70, M = 11.66, 47.1% males). Maternal accommodation was measured by vignettes depicting youth exhibiting high or low levels of distress in anxiety-provoking situations that elicited social anxiety, generalized anxiety, or separation anxiety. Results indicated an effect of child distress on accommodation of youth anxiety, such that mothers indicated more accommodation under conditions of high child distress. Furthermore, a relationship was found between greater accommodation and mothers holding more negative beliefs about their child's experience of anxiety. Maternal empathy moderated the relationship between accommodation and child distress, suggesting that mothers high in empathy demonstrate a greater degree of adaptability in response to child behaviors. Maternal anxiety also influenced the relationship between accommodation and child distress, with results varying based on situation type and suggesting that maternal anxiety may be associated with less adaptive responses to child behaviors. Clinical implications for the treatment of anxious youth are discussed and suggestions for future research are offered.

▼ The purpose of the study is to investigate the response of privately-owned hospitality enterprises in Da Nang city, Vietnam to environmental concerns. The study is inspired by global growing attention to how sustainable development in general and sustainable development in the tourism industry in particular can be promoted, especially the environmental aspect. Given the vital role of the private sector in achieving sustainable development and the fact that in the context of Vietnam, the private sector is still a less powerful economic player than the state-owned sector, the study only focuses on the privately-owned hotels. The study was conducted with the aims of (i) filling in the gap of understanding of the issue in developing countries, (ii) seeing how effective the private sector’s contribution in Da Nang city and in Vietnam in general has been in promoting sustainable tourism development, and (iii) coming to suitable recommendations, based on the research results, to increase the effectiveness of the private sector in sustainable tourism development. Qualitative methodology was used. Fifteen hotel managers participated in the semi-structured interviews. Some governmental officers also joined the research to provide supplementary information. The research findings show that the hotel managers in Da Nang city generally had good understanding of relevant environmental issues in the
accommodation sector and tourism industry. All hotels researched were using environmental practices but the smaller ones tended to have less practices. Noticeably, not all hotels were using obligatory practices described by laws. Reducing costs was the most chosen motivation for hotels to go green. Simultaneously, it was picked up by most participants as the biggest difficulty that prevented them from pursuing an environmental path. The research also revealed a weak collaboration between the city government and the
accommodation businesses in dealing with environmental concerns.

▼ The architectural quality of student housing in new Zealand is a growing concern. Students often accept living in damp and mouldy flats as “a rite of passage”. Student Housing highlights that the environment students live in directly impacts how they think and feel, and ultimately how they succeed at university. Those students fortunate enough to live in University Halls rather than private
accommodation are only provided with basic facilities that cater to the ‘typical student’ rather than their individual field of study and personal differences. This research proposes that we exceed current expectations and practice, firstly through designing
accommodation based on students area of study and, secondly, through prefabricated design of a single ‘Ideal Unit’ adapted to suit a specific site. Specific design for architecture students will be explored, due to higher housing demands than most students. establishing what makes architecture students different from other students is essential in order to cater to these needs. These are both physical and intellectual needs, ranging from facilities such as workshop, pin up space and drawing boards to the need for architectural delight. Prefabrication allows faster construction and lower costs, however this design method has resulted in ‘copy and paste’ architecture that is monotonous and without excitement. An ‘Ideal Unit’ with a small number of variations allows no two users to have the exact same experience. The work of Le Corbusier is explored, in particular the Modulor. This thesis argues that the Modulor is applicable to modern design and should be used, to ensure we build for the human body rather than arbitrary measurements. The desired outcomes of this research is a site specific design located in Wellington. A prefabricated unit is modified for the site with the ability to be applied in another location. Overall this research will comment and critique on current institutional student housing practices, both locally and internationally. While advocating for a change not just to architecture student
accommodation but to all student
accommodation. What we study and how we live are so intertwined that we can no longer ignore the needs associated with what we study, we must design for it.

▼ The project is an investigation of the development of
architectural space through drawing. The aim is to arrive at a
design through the use of a graphic novel. The building has three
programmes that augment the current conditions of the context. A
motorcycle workshop and showroom; a boxing academy, and short term
accommodation [apartments]. If fiction is really an invented
reality, then protagonists are interpretations of projected
contexts. The use of a comic offers a subjective perspective of
design, as well as the ability to explore spaces where architecture
is a backdrop. This is similar to the use of architecture in film.
Parallel to the progression of the storyline, the process of
illustrating the scenes forms the platform for the development of
the architectural design.
