Students will practice conversing with each other and answering basic questions about themselves.
Students design a simple behavioral survey, and learn basic protocol for primary research, survey design and report writing. Note: The literacy activities for the Mechanics unit are based on physical themes that have broad application to our experience in the world â concepts of rhythm, balance, spin, gravity, levity, inertia, momentum, friction, stress and tension.
This lab will introduce ASL students to having conversations with others. Students will learn how to properly ask and answer questions, as well as how to feel more comfortable in a conversational atmosphere. Students will also learn how to describe each other's responses.

"Rotator cuff injuries are the most common form of injury to the shoulder. In the case of large and massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, the gold standard treatment is a partial or maximal repair. Despite short-term pain relief and improved function, however, re-tear rates following maximal repair can range from 50 to 90 percent. That makes it important to explore alternative treatment approaches. In a new study reported in the_ American Journal of Sports of Medicine_, researchers compared maximal repair to maximal with bridging interpositional dermal allograft in patients with massive rotator cuff tears. Maximal repair recreates the rotator cable much like a suspension bridge to regain rotator cuff function. Bridging interpositional allograft, on the other hand, uses tissue grafts to bridge bone to tendon. Thirty patients with massive, retracted, and irreparable rotator cuff tears were randomly allocated to receive either procedure..."

"Voluntary stopping of eating and drinking, or VSED, is one way people around the world choose to end their life prematurely. It’s a conscious choice most often made to end unbearable suffering that cannot be alleviated by modern medicine. In Switzerland, VSED has entered the collective consciousness of healthcare professionals. In 2018, the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences included the practice as part of its guidelines on “Dealing with Dying and Death”. Even so, the depth of the issue across the nation is largely unknown. How many deaths does VSED account for annually? How do healthcare professionals view the practice of VSED? A recent survey of heads of Swiss nursing homes set out to answer these and other questions. The results suggest ample room for improvement in how VSED is understood and managed..."
