Furthermore, the currently available toileting interventions for students with disabilities include some undesirable procedures such as the use of punishment, unnatural clinic/university settings as opposed to more natural school/home settings, and prompt- based as opposed to communicative, self-initiating skills. The current study examined the effectiveness of FCT on the incidence of communicative, self-initiated toileting and of toileting accidents without any punishment components, which were often considered as necessary in traditional toileting procedures. A multiple baseline design was used for the concurrent measurement of the target behaviors across the participants with the random assignement of the paricipants to the FCT intervention. The results of this study indicated that the present FCT intervention was effective in teaching of communicative, self-initiated toileting behavior in a school setting for some students with developmental disabilities. It seemed to be that the effects of the FCT intervention without punishment might take longer than the intervention with punishment. Future studies may explore how much parent participation and each participant’s cognitive functioning level are related to the degree of increasing communicative, self-initiated toileting behavior. In addition, the future research may focus on FCT intervention without punishment components for individuals with other developmental disabilities. ix Chapter I Introduction This chapter will acquaint the reader with the literature on functional communication training (FCT), along with the rationale for the use of functional communication training (FCT) as a possible intervention to decrease or eliminate toileting accidents displayed by students with developmental disabilities in a school setting and to increase socially appropriate replacement behaviors such as communicative, self-initiated toileting behavior. First, the definition of challenging behaviors

  • A New Perspective on Crepuscular and Futurist Avant-Garde
    KNOWLEDGE THROUGH THINGS: A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON CREPUSCULAR AND FUTURIST AVANT-GARDE Danila Cannamela A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages (Italian) in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Federico Luisetti Dino Cervigni Amy Chambless Valeria Finucci Mauro Novelli © 2014 Danila Cannamela ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Danila Cannamela: Knowledge Through Things: A New Perspective on Crepuscular and Futurist Avant-Garde (Under the direction of Prof. Federico Luisetti) This dissertation provides a first systematic English-language study on Crepuscularism. Challenging the common critical understanding that reduces Crepuscularism to a pre-modern poetic regression while identifying Futurism with Marinetti’s hymn to technological progress, I argue that these two Avant-Gardes share similar reactions to the modern bourgeois paradigm, both at a cognitive and ontological level. Overcoming the ghettoization of Crepuscularism as a provincial Italian phenomenon, the first chapter maps the historical and cultural setting of this movement, illustrating its intersection with philosophy, visual arts, and mysticism. In the subsequent chapter, I borrow from Bruno Latour’s thesis that modernity encounters its limits in dealing with cross-category relationships such as nature-culture and human-thing. Crepuscularism expresses its Avant-Garde role by ushering in an anti-modern discourse on hybridization that Futurism inherits and further develops. The third chapter explores how the two currents envision cognition as immediate intuition and participative immersion that entails also ignorance, understood as maximum freedom of knowing.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pa^(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large roii^^d black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the • may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
