Abstract Older adults can reduce fall risk in their homes and the community. Health care professionals (HCP) have a role in preventing falls. An interprofessional team of HCPs at a comprehensive cancer center created and delivered educational workshops to increase knowledge about falls prevention. Educational workshops were provided in community centers, libraries, places of worship and at local hospitals to medically underserved, diverse community members, caregivers and HCP. An Occupational (OT) and Physical Therapist (PT) taught three workshops together and the OT taught nine workshops. Workshops included fall prevention, home modifications, safe patient handling (SPH), and the role of OT/ PT in geriatric oncology care. Practical and culturally competent steps were emphasized, with translation of written materials and live interpretation provided as appropriate. Knowledge increase was assessed, and post-session qualitative data was collected. The mean age of community members was 68 years, of nurses was 42, and of caregivers 63. A majority of participants were female. 220 older adults completed surveys, 40 caregivers, and 11 registered nurses. The Falls Prevention workshops with unmatched (n=79) and matched data (n=140) showed significant improvements in knowledge [t(135)=-3.33, p<0.001; t(139)=-4.03, p<.001; respectively). Caregivers who participated in the SPH workshop improved their learning for the unmatched (n=12) and matched data (n=28) after participating in the workshops [t(22)=-3.50, p=.002; t(27)=-3.95, p<.001] respectively. For nurses, the change in scores from pre (M=.56) to post scores (M=.73) were significant (t=-2.76, df=10, p=.02). Caregivers and HCPs benefit from continued education to promote safer, holistic care for family members and patients.

Objectives. Survey current experience with Skin to Skin care (SSC) in Pennsylvania Maternity Centers. Study Design. The nursing director of each Maternity Center in PA (n = 95) was sent an on-line confidential survey querying SSC practices. Responses were compared by delivery size, location, and nature of affiliation. Statistics analyzed by chi-square and student t-test. Results. Of these 64/95 MCs (67%) responded. All allowed SSC after vaginal deliveries, 55% after C-section, 73% mother’s room. Monitoring included delivery room nurse (94%) with support from other providers (61%), family members (37%), and electronic monitoring (5%). If SSC occurred in mother’s room all reported family education on safe practices. 40% were aware of adverse SSC events, including falls and suffocation. About 80% educated staff about infant safety during SSC. Conclusions. Gaps in education and supervision during SSC were identified. Additional education and standardization of best practices are needed to reduce risks from falls and suffocation during SSC.

Summary.This study examines the relationship between family size and children’s education in Bangladesh for two periods – 1982 with high fertility and 1996 with low fertility – using data from the Matlab Health and Demographic Surveillance System of the ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research. Children aged 8–17 years (27,448 in 1982 and 32,635 in 1996) were selected from households where the mother was aged 30–49 years and the father was the head of household. Children’s education was measured in terms of completed years of schooling: at least class 1 (among 8–17 year olds), at least class 5 (among 12–17 year olds) and at least class 7 (among 15–17 year olds). After controlling for all variables in the multivariate analyses, level of children’s education was not found to be associated with family size during the high fertility period. The family size–education relationship became negative during the low fertility period. In both periods children of educated mothers from wealthier households and those who lived close to primary/high schools had more education, but this socioeconomic difference reduced substantially over time. Boys had more education than girls during the high fertility period but this difference disappeared during the low fertility period. As birth rates fall and the proportion of children from small families increases an increase in children’s education is to be expected.

Background: Unintentional injuries among children are an emerging public health problem. Accidental injuries are one of the leading causes of death, hospitalization and disability across the world. Fragile, helpless and innocent, an infant enters the world completely dependent on its caretakers. Children’s environment plays a critical role, both in the occurrence and severity of an injury. Hence, this study was carried out to assess the domestic unintentional injuries among under-five children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was undertaken in the urban field practice area of Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College and Research Centre Moradabad. Information about domestic accidents among the family members in the last one year from the date of survey was obtained by interviewing the head of the family or responsible member of the family age ≥ 18 year. Study target sample size was taken 440 was selected by using two stage cluster sampling technique. Results: Out of 440 children 20% (88) reported to have experience unintentional injuries. History of fall was the commonest 42 (47.3%) form of injury reported followed by injury due to sharp object and road traffic accident. Toddlers, male child were affected more. Only 48.9% caregivers were aware about first aid measures to be taken after unintentional injury, 71.3% participants reported implementation of preventive measures. Conclusions: Unintentional injuries are becoming more common. We recommend for prompt and target group interventions in order to prevent and control the domestic accidents, promotion of household safety measures and creation of awareness among the community using information, education, and communication (IEC) interventions have to be undertaken.

ABSTRACT Background: A major goal in neurotrauma management is the prevention of secondary neuronal injuries. This goal is time bound as neurological deficits once established are usually irreversible. Late presentation is the norm in most neurotrauma patients in developing countries. Aims: The aim of the study was to review the timing of presentation of neurotrauma patients and the possible causes of their late presentation for neurosurgical care in our practice. Methods: A cross-sectional study of a 4-month prospective database of neurotrauma patients presenting to the University College Hospital, Ibadan, was done. The participants’ biodata, injury characteristics, initial-care details before referral, and information on timing and causes of delay were analyzed. Results: The study subjects included 111 patients, 80.2% (89/111) were males, and 52.8% aged 21–40 years. Head injury (HI), spinal cord injury (SCI), and combined HI and SCI occurred, respectively, in 80.2%, 14.4%, and 5.4%. Road accidents followed by falls were seen in 73.9% and 14.4% (16), respectively. Just 46.8% (52/111) cases presented within 12 h of injury and only 37 (33.3%) within 4 h. Majority, 83.8% (93/111) were referrals from primary care. These referrals were delayed in 81.7% (76/93) of these. The referring health facilities were located intracity with our center in 54%. Other causes of delayed presentation of these study participants included long-distance travel to our center, lack of funds, or a combination of the above factors. Eighty-nine patients (80.2%) were brought in by family members and the remaining minority by passers-by and road safety personnel. Conclusions: Delayed referral from primary care features prominently in timing of presentation of neurotrauma patients in Nigeria. There is a need for collaboration as well as continuing medical education between the neurotrauma specialists and primary care physicians.

e24022 Background: Most of the care for adults with chronic/debilitating illnesses is provided by unpaid family members. There is little information on caregiver burden in older patients with cancer in India. Methods: This was an observational study conducted in the geriatric oncology clinic at the Tata Memorial Centre, a tertiary care oncology center in Mumbai, India. The Fronto Temporal Lobe Disorders (FTLDA) caregiver burden scale was administered to the caregiver who accompanied the patient to the geriatric clinic. The scale has 22 questions, each scored from 0 to 4. The points were added to give the total caregiver burden score. The severity of the caregiver burden was scored based on the standard key: 0-20 little or no burden, 21-40 mild to moderate burden, 41-60 moderate to severe burden, 61-88 severe burden. Descriptive statistics were used for demographic & clinical variables. The factors impacting the caregiver burden were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The caregiver burden score was the dependent variable in this analysis. The independent variables evaluated were patient-related factors (sex, education, primary tumor type), vulnerabilities noted on the geriatric assessment (function & falls, psychological status -depression & anxiety, cognition, nutrition, comorbidity) and caregiver-related, i.e., the relationship of the caregiver with the patient. Results: The caregiver burden scores were obtained from the caregivers of 127 older Indian patients with cancer between June 2020 & January 2021. The median age of patients in this study was 69 years (range, 60-90). There were 96 (75.6%) males; the two commonest malignancies were lung carcinoma (47 patients, 37%) & gastrointestinal cancers (46 patients, 36.2%). The relationship of the caregiver to the patient was child (94, 74%), in-law (12, 9.4%), spouse (7, 5.5%), grandchild (6, 4.7%) and other relative (8, 6.3%). The median caregiver burden score was 12 (IQR, 6-20). The caregiver burden was -little/no in 97 (76.4%), mild-moderate in 25 (19.7%), moderate-severe in 4 (3.1%) & severe in 1 (0.8%) of the caregivers assessed. On multivariate analysis, the factors that significantly impacted the caregiver burden score included the sex of the patient ( P= .0445) & the presence of psychological problems ( P= .0164). In the univariate analysis, the caregiver burden was higher in caregivers of female patients (median score, 16 [IQR 9-25] versus 10 [IQR 5-19], P= .02036). Caregivers of patients with psychological issues also had higher caregiver burden (median score, 19 [IQR 10-28] versus 10 [IQR 5.25-17], P= .00224). Conclusions: The caregiver burden was low in older Indian patients with cancer. Higher caregiver burden was experienced by the caregivers of female patients & patients with psychological disorders.

AbstractObjective:Consumption of fruits and vegetables (F&V) among adolescents falls below recommendations in many Western countries. The impact of social and emotional aspects of family life on adolescent dietary behaviour may contribute to this, yet remains under-investigated. The present study examines the association between adolescents’ perceptions of emotional home atmosphere (EHA) and their F&V consumption frequency.Design:An FFQ was used to assess F&V consumption frequency. EHA was assessed by an eight-item measure with three subscales: perceived home warmth, strictness and relational tension. EHA subscales were used as binary variables: a score equal to or above the median value was considered as a higher perception, while a score below the median was considered as a lower perception of the EHA in question. Country differences in meeting the European 5-a-day recommendations were described. Further, the association between EHA and F&V consumption frequency was investigated using multiple linear regression.Setting:Regional examination centres in eight European countries.Participants:Adolescents (n 3196) aged 12–18 years.Results:The mean F&V consumption frequency was 3·27 (sd 2·84) times/d. Only 16·1 % of boys and 18 % of girls in our study sample met the recommendation of five F&V daily. After controlling for age, sex, education level of the parents and country of origin, perceived home warmth was associated with a 16 (95 % CI 9, 22) % higher F&V consumption frequency (P < 0·001).Conclusions:F&V consumption frequency was suboptimal in the survey areas. Interventions targeting perceived warmth as a component of EHA could potentially have a positive effect on adolescents’ dietary behaviour.

The article is devoted to the question of external assistance to foster families. While in an orphanage a child in
need of aid falls into the target audience of the activities of charities and other organizations. Orphanages are well
informed. There is a well-established system of interaction of orphanages with the guardianship and charitable
organizations. The hierarchy system of care for orphans allows, at the initiative of the teachers and administrative
staff, to cope with the problems associated with the pedagogical process in the child’s upbringing, with the status
of orphans residing at the institution. However, there may be problems in attracting external assistance: more
stringent are the requirements for those people who are willing to volunteer and work with children. When the child
releases into the foster care, his status changes, and foster parents are forced to decide difficult questions arise
concerning the health, education, further education, household needs, physical, psychological and socio-cultural
adaptation of the child. In blood family, the child is in the stages of preparation for independent living gradually.
Adoptive parents are forced into raising a child who already has social experience, and often negative. In the
public mind the question of assistance of various kinds, such a child is not as acute: there is a man who took upon
himself the authority of the care of the minor, this is his foster parent (foster parents). It is necessary to inform foster
parents about what funds are working with orphans; what is the target audience of the Fund, and how it can help
prepare a foster child for future life. In the article there is the possibility of application to various funds on solving
some of the problems, as well as for positive pedagogical effect of the process of obtaining external assistance. In
addition, the article provides an example of the activities of the Center foster families “Tenderness” in the village of
Vyritsa of the Leningrad region, which is a unique community of foster families, leading activities to foster children
and their preparation for future life through support.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to examine the disconnect happening in relation to family–centre partnerships. Developing partnerships with families is hotly debated and provides challenges for educators teaching in the early childhood sector. Using a comparative case study analysis, several research studies conducted in the states of New South Wales and Victoria, Australia, are examined to illustrate these disconnects. These issues are examined within Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia, a national framework that is common to all programs across Australia, which identifies practice, principles and learning outcomes for young children. This disconnect is related to the language that is used by the early childhood staff and misunderstood by the parents, the ways communication occurs and its ineffectiveness. The article argues that there is a need to move beyond the current rhetoric of engaging in partnerships with families to a space that allows for transparency, reciprocity and new language.

Abstract Introduction Elderly community dweller has a high risk of falls. It has a high incidence of morbidity and mortality if it involves hip fractures. Our aim is to report the incidence of falls presenting with hip fractures to a Malaysian tertiary centre. Method We have collected data from a Malaysian tertiary centre. The incidence of falls involving elderly patients aged 65 and above from January 2018 till December 2018 was examined. The falls were divided based on the time of fall, place and the type of fracture. Time of fall was divided into day (0800 to 1559), evening (1600 to 2359), night (0000 to 0759). The place was either outdoor or indoor. Results There were 114 falls that involved hip fractures recorded over the past 12 months. There were 85 female cases versus 29 male cases. The average age was 77.3 years. There was a higher incidence in the Chinese (n=59) followed by the Malay (n=40) and Indian (n=15). There were no cases of nursing homes falls that involved hip fractures. Most of the falls with hip fractures occurred indoor with only 11 cases that occurred outdoor. The falls tend to occur in the day (n=65) followed by evening (n=31) and night (n=18). October recorded the highest number of falls with 14 cases followed by April (n=13), and December (n=12). The type of fracture in descending order were intertrochanteric fracture (n=61), neck of femur fracture (n=47), subtrochanteric fracture (n=4) and acetabular fracture (n=2). Conclusion Asians generally care for their aging parents in the family home. Although falls were reported to be higher in nursing homes, this differs in the Asian population. Therefore, fall prevention measures should be implemented at home as falls is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly especially if it involves hip fractures.

Full textAbstract:
While Lukes’ view of power as an ‘essentially contested concept’ is a move in the right direction, it does not go far enough because it falls short of arguing for a plural view of power. Power constitutes a ‘family resemblance concept’, with family members forming complex relationships within overlapping language games. Members include, among others: episodic power, dispositional power, systemic power, power to, power over, empowerment, legitimate power and domination. This argument does not entail relativism or that ‘anything goes’, as all usages have to be justified as ‘conceptual tools’, whereby pragmatic criteria of usefulness, rather than essence, define better or worse usage. When moving language games, the relationship between signifier and referent changes, which leads to confusion, unless the family resemblance nature of power is understood. In the literature, the most significant confusion has taken place between sociological analytic and normative political theory language games.

Full textAbstract:
Falls present a major challenge for health care systems: they correlate with poor patient outcomes, extend the length of hospitalization, and increase overall medical expenditure. According to existing literature, risk factors for the occurrence of falls include the male gender, urinary incontinence, muscle weakness, agitation or confusion, and dementia. Studies have shown that the combined practice of identifying risk factors and implementing appropriate fall prevention interventions leads to a reduction in the incidence of falls among hospital patients. As the largest group of health professionals committed to providing high-quality care, nurses play an important role in preventing falls among patient populations. In order to prevent falls and maintain patient safety, it is important to identify the most effective strategies for fall prevention. This study presents an overview of previously published strategies and intervention practices on fall prevention in hospital settings around the world. The most common interventions include fall risk assessment, environment/equipment modifications, patient education/family education on fall prevention interventions, staff education on fall reporting and fall prevention, fall risk alerts, medication management, physical fitness of patients, assistance with transfer and toileting and effective team communication and leadership. Ultimately, it is incumbent upon nurses, other health-care professionals and the entire hospital system to develop effective strategies in order to prevent falls among hospitalised patients.

Full textAbstract:
The number of patients' falls and injuries happening during their hospital treatment is a good quality indicator of safety of in-patients. A fall is of multifactorial etiology, and its causes are usually classified into intrinsic and extrinsic factors. According to Jenise Morse there are three categories of falls among inpatients: accidental, non-anticipated physiologic and anticipated physiologic fall. Fall induced injuries in clinical and hospital settings are mostly categorized into five groups: no injury, minor injury, moderate injury, severe injury and lethal injury. The number of in-patient falls can be reduced by implementing a prevention programme in order to improve the quality of the specific health care and health care in general. The key preventive strategies aimed at safe and efficient health care include: a regular assessment of the risk for falls using predictive scales, visual identification of patients at high risk for falls, communication with patients and education of patients, their family members and staff about fall prevention interventions.

The fall can be a depressive signal or a cry for help from a demoralized elderly patient. The authors stress the importance of recognizing the depressive syndrome of the elderly. Psychological consequences of the falls are reviewed at three different levels. For the elderly, the consequences are frequently a fear that can lead to a sharp decrease in functional capacity. For the family, the fall can lead to the institutionalization of the elderly or a very restrictive surveillance. For the family physician, the fall is frequently perceived as an emergency that leads to immediate unwarranted admission. A rational approach, with education and guidelines, is proposed and can render this traumatic experience less dramatic at these three different levels.

Abstract:We provide a new explanation for the narrowing and reversal of the gender education gap. We assume that parents maximize the full income of their children and that males have an additional income, independently of education. This additional income biases preferences toward sons and implies that females have relative advantage in producing income through education. When the returns to human capital are low, the bias toward sons is high, so that parents whose first newborns are females have more children. Consequently, daughters are born to larger families and hence receive less education. As returns to human capital increase, gender differences in producing income diminish, bias toward sons declines, variation in family size falls and the positive correlation between family size and the number of daughters is weakened. Ultimately, the relative advantage of females in education dominates differences in family size, triggering the reversal in the gender education gap.

Objective: To identify the risk behaviors of the elderly at home, described by community health workers, and related factors. Materials and methods: Qualitative research, in the dialectical perspective, carried out through a focus group with community health workers from a family health strategy unit in a municipality of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Thematic content analysis was used for the study. Results: The revealed risk behaviors are related to extrinsic factors (architecture, furniture, and equipment), socioeconomic factors (low income, level of education, deficit of social and a family support), and psychological factors (feeling of vulnerability, dependence and not self-acknowledging in a dangerous condition). Conclusions: Falls are the result of a complex interaction between the factors and, the behaviors studied so that adequate identification of these can subsidize individual and collective intervention actions, as well as care management and planning processes aimed at the health of the elderly person.

Objectives: the ethnography study was undertaken to assess the situation early childhood education development centre (ECED) based on community and school as per ECED minimum standard and also to explore teaching pedagogy, infrastructure and environment of teaching at ECEDs. Similarly this study also tries to identify the challenges and issues to implement the ECED minimum standards.Method: a qualitative research design was applied for this evaluation research. The primary data were gathered through interview and observation. Conclusion: from the effectiveness perspective learning environment of early childhood development centre for children is satisfactory at home as well early childhood development (ECD) centre due to parental care. From the sustainability, ECD management committee are starting to collect fund for ECD centre (Admission and monthly fee), ECD management committee has clarity of organizational vision. ECD centers have been found to have trained and experienced ECD facilitator and are able to get Government quota for sustainability of center running cost and similarly from the equity, most of ECD parents are belong to marginal families whose children benefit from ECD center and since they cannot afford costly Montessori, children of marginal family can also afford quality education in ECD centers.

Introduction. Falls and mobility disorders are classified as large geriatric syndromes, which in turn lead to deficits in the functional fitness of the elderly. Aim. Fall risk analysis in the group of hospitalized seniors, including socio-demographic variables. Material and Methods. The research used the estimation and diagnostic survey method, the estimation scale technique and questionnaires. The research tool was the Tinetti questionnaire. The research was conducted among 100 seniors during their hospitalization. Results. Seniors in younger age categories, with higher education level, married and living with a family, scored higher on the Tinetti scale. Conclusions. Hospitalization, age advancement, lower education, single marital status and lonely household management by seniors significantly increased the risk of their falls. Gender was not a factor that significantly differentiated the risk of falling. (JNNN 2020;9(4):127–131) Key Words: fall, older adults, risk

Preschool years have an important place in the formation of moral values and in the socialisation of the individual afterwards. Social values that make up an important part of human life are acquired by children who lead a normal life. This research on the ages of children, having value, gender, parental education status and mother’s work status was performed in order to determine whether it differs. The study group consisted of 121 children who received preschool education in Bayburt province centre. In order to obtain information by parents and teachers, the PreSchool Values Scale Family and Parent Form developed by Nesliturk and Celikoz were used. Data were analysed by the SPSS program. As a result of the analysis, children’s value scores differed significantly according to their age and gender, while parents’ education level and mother’s working conditions showed that the results did not differ significantly.

Families are increasingly understood as inter-related systems where each component interacts with other components in diverse ways. Contemporary research on families which have children with disabilities emphasises the complexity of families and the futility of searching for one characteristic of a family as predictive of family outcomes. The current study investigated the relationship between family needs, family supports, and demographic information for rural families who were eligible for early intervention services. The study did not attempt to review specific early intervention services, but rather to associate the characteristics of services which families found most and least effective. The results are discussed in terms of the practice of providing family-focused models of service delivery. This project was funded by the Golden North Centre, Spastic Society, Bendigo

Abstract After surveying elderly people in northern Taiwan with a structured questionnaire to collect basic information and experience of falls in the past year. In total, 250 valid questionnaires were gathered. The SPSS software package used in statistical analysis of data and a p-value <0.05 was considered to reflect statistical significance by Chi-square (χ2) test. In this study, 176 female accounted for 70.4%; 213 people living with family accounted for 85.2%; 68 people aged 66-70 years old accounted for 27.2%; 85 people with public education at the elementary level accounted for 34%. 156 people with falling experience accounted for 62.3%; 60 people who fell home accounted for 38.5%; 74 people who fell during outdoor activities accounted for 47.4%; 63 people fell in walking, cycling and sports, accounting for 85.1%. In addition, there is a significant correlation between residents’ medication and fall experience; Such as antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic agents, and analgesics, are more statistically significant about fall; and taking sedative, muscle relaxation, Chinese medicine, there is no statistically significant. This shows that it is very important to prevent the fall of the elderly and the safety of the elderly during outdoor activities. In addition to the need to increase the muscles and strength of the elderly, it is also necessary to strengthen the outdoor space and drug education for the elderly.

The Ecological Park “Falls of Rio Bonito” is the unique ecological park located in Lavras region. This park has as purpose the regional fauna flora and water resources protection, environmental education, recreation and scientific research. However, the frequency of this park is decreasing over the time. Due to its great importance for Lavras, especially for eco-environmental aspects, a survey was conducted in order to identify city inhabitants impressions related to this area. The survey used structured questionnaires with direct questions. Four hundred people of all Lavras neighborhood were interviewed randomly. The park is visited most by the people who has middle-level education, family income greater than R$ 2,100.00 (minimum salary based on R$678.00). The most prominent attractions in the visitors’ view are the nature elements (waterfall: 27.76%, and tracks: 21.35 %). A part of the visitors (28.11%) had visited only once the park, and they alleged that the main reason why they did not return is constraints (41.8%). Among the respondents, 22% have heard about the park, but never visited it, due to constrains (45.5%) and lack of opportunity (17%). Only 7.75% of the respondents did not have knowledge about the park. The Park Falls of Rio Bonito has been sparsely attended due to the lack of ecological activities, constraints, the distant location and the park entrance fee.

Loss of postural sway, balance, and slower reaction times are strong predictors of falling (Lajoie & Gallagher, 2004). Traditional exercise programs focus on studying and treating these factors (Tideiksaar, 1997); however, fear of falling – another strong predictor of falls – has received relatively little attention in the treatment literature (Maki et al., 1991). There are indications of a direct link between fear of falling, and actual falls (Myers et al., 1996), and a relationship between fear-related avoidance of activities and falling (Delbaere et al., 2004). Taijiquan, an ancient Chinese martial art turned exercise regimen (Wolf et al., 2001), has been shown to be effective ameliorating fear of falling and traditional antecedents of falling (Tsang et al., 2004). Like graded exposure therapies, Taijiquan practitioners slowly and progressively achieve increasingly difficult postures that simulate potentially fearful situations in a calming environment. Relative to other exercise treatments, such as computerized balance training, education, and graded exercise, Taijiquan has produced significant reductions in fear of falling and in actual falls (McGibbon et al., 2005). Herein the available research on Taijiquan and falls is reviewed to advocate for Taijiquan as a form of graded exposure therapy to reduce fear of falling and falls in seniors. Implications and future research directions will be discussed.</span></span></span></p>

Full textAbstract:
Davis Creek silt is the informal name for a previously unreported loess and its reworked detritus encountered at several locations to the south of the east and centre blocks of the Cypress Hills. This unit intervenes between a pediment with an estimated age of 10 Ma and Late Wisconsinan glacial deposits. Because the unit has reversed magnetization, it is older than 788 ka, the astronomical age of the Matuyama–Brunhes magnetic polarity reversal. The unit also contains an undated volcanic ash from the Pearlette ash family that could represent the Mesa Falls (1.27 Ma) or the Huckleberry Ridge (2.02 Ma) ash bed. Davis Creek silt overlies an oxidized weathering zone and contains large secondary carbonate nodules near its truncated top that were, in places, reworked into a lag deposit or stone line before accumulation of the glacial overburden. At one location Davis Creek silt is separated from this overburden by a unit of cryoturbated gravelly loam with remnants of a reddish-yellow paleosolic B horizon.

Background: This study raised the following problem: How reliable is the Inclusion for Children and Adolescents Questionnaire (ICAQ) when measuring the attitudes of students with hearing loss towards inclusive education (IE) in public schools in the Canary Islands? Methods: The sample consisted of 297 students from the province of Gran Canaria, and 137 students from the province of Tenerife, with an average age of 11 years old. An exploratory factor analysis determined the reliability and relevance of ICAQ. Results: The authors found four factors of students’ attitudes towards IE: Family involvement and use of technology, inclusion in the centre, communication with medical specialists, and assessment of the support technology. Conclusion: There were significant differences between the students with hearing loss in terms of the following factors: Inclusion in the centre and assessment of the support technology. The total score of students’ attitudes towards IE was high. This piece of research is very important for the governing body of any school administration, especially in relation to schools’ educational planning and IE.

A study on the type and frequency of injuries in preschool-age children was conducted in a sample of households representing population of Purworejo district. A two stages cluster (wilcah) method was used to select 4.354 preschool-age children living in 12,721 households in the district. The mother or other child caretakers provided responses about injuries occurring during the 3 months period to interview. Injuries among these preschool-age children included trauma by cutting or sharp object (6.5%), falls (5.7%), bums (0.6%), bites (0.4%), traffic accident (0.4%), unconsciousness (0.2%) and poisoning (0 .1 %). The typical injury in under the 12 months olds was falls. Children aged 12 to 23 month accounted for 18% of the injury episodes which were typical fall and trauma. Children aged 24 to 59 months accounted for 76.6% of injury episodes which were typically trauma, falls, bums, bites and traffic accident. No statistical differences in the frequency and type on injuries were observed between urban and rural areas. The relative frequency in age-grouped and type of injuries from this population-based study can be used in planning injury prevention especially for family health education program.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine Family Development Centre (FDC) staff’s[1] perspectives on their roles and capacity to promote early childhood language learning through good parenting. Design/methodology/approach This research employed in-depth interviews with 30 FDC coordinators and volunteer staff, supported by limited field observations. Findings Identifying risk, surveillance of at-risk families, building community solidarity and activities to support parenting and children, emerged as key components of FDC work. Volunteers softened their surveillance role by emphasising their social support function and personal links to local communities. Most activities aimed to strengthen family bonding and relationships, with fewer specifically addressing early childhood language deficits. Volunteers found the latter challenging, and generally sought to work in cooperation with education, public health and child care staff where projects involved language development. Practical implications Most volunteers said they lacked the capacities to promote early language development effectively and required additional training in such areas as partnerships and collaboration, family and parenting support, and project management. The authors argue that the importance given to partnerships reflects volunteers’ recognition that they need to draw on outside expertise to address children’s language problems. Given resource constraints, volunteers will remain central to family support work for the immediate future. Even with training lay volunteers will not become language experts, and future policy should centre on building a framework of professional support for the community teams. Originality/value This study fills a gap in knowledge about FDC volunteer roles and suggests a need for training that focuses on teamwork rather than specialist language expertise.

Full textAbstract:
Childhood injury is a major health issue, with approximately 20,000 children under five hospitalised each year in Australia. The home is a common site for childhood injuries, with some of the more frequent episodes including falls, poisoning, burns, cuts and crush injuries. A regional initiative to develop a coordinated approach towards minimising injuries sustained by children between 0-4 years, resulted in the development of 'Childsafe Now', a health promotion program which involved training of child care providers, and the establishment of several home safety displays in the Eastern metropolitan region of Victoria. One of the home safety displays was developed in a Community Health Centre, utilising a pre-existing child care facility and the multidisciplinary skills of the staff. Community Health Centres were established with a focus on health promotion - encouraging illness and injury prevention through a holistic combination of education, community involvement, behavioural and social modification and multi-disciplinary primary health care services - yet the opportunity to establish a permanent, functional display which combines all of these aspects of health promotion is becoming increasingly rare. However, the skills and knowledge which have traditionally been nurtured within the Community Health Program make Community Health Centres a particularly appropriate location for establishing a Home Safety Display.

AimTo investigate risk and protective factors for stair falls in children aged <5 years.MethodsMulticentre case–control study at hospitals, minor injury units and general practices in and around four UK study centres. Cases were children with medically attended stair fall injuries. Controls were matched on age, sex, calendar time and study centre. A total of 610 cases and 2658 controls participated.ResultsCases’ most common injuries were bangs on the head (66%), cuts/grazes not requiring stitches (14%) and fractures (12%). Parents of cases were significantly more likely not to have stair gates (adjusted OR (AOR) 2.50, 95% CI 1.90 to 3.29; population attributable fraction (PAF) 21%) or to leave stair gates open (AOR 3.09, 95% CI 2.39 to 4.00; PAF 24%) both compared with having closed stair gates. They were more likely not to have carpeted stairs (AOR 1.52, 95% CI 1.09 to 2.10; PAF 5%) and not to have a landing part-way up their stairs (AOR 1.34, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.65; PAF 18%). They were more likely to consider their stairs unsafe to use (AOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.99; PAF 5%) or to be in need of repair (AOR 1.71, 95% CI 1.16 to 2.50; PAF 5%).ConclusionStructural factors including having landings part-way up the stairs and keeping stairs in good repair were associated with reduced stair fall injury risk. Family factors including having stair gates, not leaving gates open and having stair carpets were associated with reduced injury risk. If these associations are causal, addressing these factors in housing policy and routine child health promotion could reduce stair fall injuries.

The primary driver of health outcomes is not medical professionals and the treatment they provide, but rather the socioeconomic environments enveloping individuals from the time they are born until their last breath. Social determinants of health (SDOH), which are factors such as income, education, ethnicity, disability, and access to healthcare, create disparities in morbidities and mortalities across a social gradient. Poverty constitutes one of the most well-studied and well-acknowledged SDOH, with a wide-ranging and treacherous impact on one’s health and well-being. A new poverty tool, created by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Centre for Effective Practice, enables front-line clinicians to tackle the social challenges associated with a low socioeconomic status. Consideration of socioeconomic conditions in a clinical practice setting can improve health outcomes by optimizing clinical management decisions and reduce the burden on our healthcare system.

Full textAbstract:
This article evaluates a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach with mixed methods including concept mapping, q-sorting and deliberative dialogue in the context of a research project on young people’s experiences with digital communications technologies, and addresses some of the central insights of intersectionality theory and praxis. Our approach seeks to ensure that, insofar as possible, the gathered data provide a rich and layered window into the experiences of young people from a range of marginalized communities served by our project partners. The article revisits some key insights and contestations relating to intersectionality and addresses their relationship to our approach. We evaluate whether these methods enhance understandings of the interactions of structures of subordination with other factors identified in intersectionality scholarship, as well as the extent to which they centre the knowledge and expertise of those subordinated by matrices of domination as discussed by authors such as Crenshaw and Hill Collins. Our approach is just one of many that social science researchers interested in advancing intersectionality’s key insights could deploy. While it falls short of full consistency with these insights, its mixed methods work toward our partners’ social justice objectives while facilitating exploration of intersecting axes of subordination. Our approach can also help our project recapture the politic at the heart of many intersectional feminist critiques, such as those of Crenshaw and Hill Collins - that reconceptualizing knowledge requires centring the knowledge and expertise of those traditionally excluded due to interlocking systems of subordination.

Introduced models are designed to capitalize deep understanding and critical thinking in teaching engineering. Accordingly students will be able to explain, find evidence and examples, generalise, apply, analogise and represent a topic in a new way. At least four different kinds of knowledge are essential for expert teaching: knowledge of content; pedagogical content knowledge; general pedagogical knowledge; and knowledge of learners and learning. The goal of the article is to help engineering teachers acquire knowledge in each of these areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><!--[if gte mso 10]> <mce:style><! /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} --> <!--[endif] -->

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the minimum conditions for the formation of an ecosystem that favours the emergence of spin-offs whose parent company is a family business. Design/methodology/approach Three family companies that have experienced processes supporting the creation of new companies led by family members were used for this exploration. Findings The findings show that it is possible to form an ecosystem with five basic components from which other factors of a different kind are derived, and that would favour the minimum conditions for new companies to emerge from the family business. Originality/value Spin-off companies have received valuable recognition in recent years. The vast majority of research on spin-offs considers those arising under the protection of a private innovation centre, a corporation, or university. This research gives more breadth to this coverage, by studying the emergence of spin-offs that rely on the family business as the parent company.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe partisan preferences of Canadian Jews are compared with those of Catholics and Protestants using a sample of 218,738 electors obtained by merging 235 Gallup surveys from the period 1953–1983. The hypothesis guiding the analysis, that Jews are more likely to support left and centre parties (specifically the NDP and the Liberals), is derived from theories that seek to explain Jewish political inclinations. Controlling for the influence of education, province of residence (Quebec or not) and family union membership, this hypothesis is confirmed. Moreover, it is found that in Quebec Jews concentrate their votes to a greater degree than Protestants or Catholics and that the Liberals are the beneficiaries of that concentration; outside Quebec, Catholics and Jews have similar preferences that are markedly distinct from those of Protestants. The Jewish vote is best explained by combining left/right and centre/periphery models.

Islamic education today cannot be separated from Islamic education in Islamic classical era. The Prophet Muhammad has served as a central figure of Islamic education from Islamic classical era to modern Era. The implementation of Islamic education in the time of the Prophet Muhammad can be categorized into Meccan period and Medina Period. In Meccan period, the prophet put emphasis on tawhid, who used to adhare to politism, to adhare to monotism, that is to believe in Allah the only God. The strategy of education employed by the prophet was secret in nature. Initially, he conducated Islamic education amongst the members of his family and his companions then to more extended cummunity. In Mecca, the Prophet made the house of al-Arqam ibn Abi Al-Arqam, as the centre of Islamic education. In Medinan period, the prophet conducted more complex Islamic education than that he did in Mecca. Islamic education conducted to covered (a) Islamic brotherhood; (b) social walfare education; and (c) nation defence education. In this period, it was mosque that served as the centre of Islamic education.

The article treats spatial analysis distribution of activities within special education of vision impaired children, pupils and students in the Czech Republic. It response to the research questions: What are territorial differences in content and volume of special education of vision impaired people? Are there any regional disparities? The authors applied several scientific methods – a standardized form for recording of particular contact the teacher with vision impaired person in Special Education Centre, database design, spatial analysis and map compiling. The study confirms a significant increase of disability in higher age and dominant role of the family in the care for a person with vision impaired people. The research confirmed the dominant role of regions as special needs centres authorities. Based on a unique survey the study quantified special needs centres activity.

<p>This paper analyses the challenges faced by clients, students and teachers involved in a clinical program which uses new technology to deliver legal services in remote areas of Southern Queensland, Australia. A range of novel issues were addressed by Griffith University Law School, Learning Network Queensland and Caxton Legal Centre in their partnership development and delivery of this clinical program which involves the use of audio-graphics conferencing to enable students to provide legal advice and assistance to people hundreds of kilometres away. The ‘Advanced Family Law-Clinic’ program commenced in July 1999 with financial support from the Federal Attorney-General’s Department. The paper considers the range of issues which arose in development of the program.</p>
