Abstract:

Abstract Radioactive waste is produced during the NPP operation as well as the NPP dismantling and decommissioning phase. Different kinds of waste with different volumes, volume generation rates, properties and compositions have to be handled and treated according to the regulations of the corresponding country. The various waste streams arising especially during D&D activities require versatile treatment approaches to satisfy regulatory requirements and customer needs. Westinghouse has over 30 years of experience in the design, erection and commissioning of radwaste treatment equipment and facilities with special attention on waste volume reduction and minimization of secondary waste generation applied in projects, concepts and studies around the world. Minimization of the total life cycle cost for waste treatment and disposal is a key item for the application of economically viable solutions based on combined processes and integrated waste treatment systems. The ability of enhanced system design and flexible single process combination to form an optimized waste treatment center is crucial to set up the best process configuration with regard to lowest life cycle cost. Westinghouse’s experience in the field of radwaste treatment as well as the application of proven treatment technologies ensures the ability to form a customized radwaste treatment center, either integrated in an existing facility or as a new, free standing building that provides all relevant transport and handling equipment, interfaces, treatment equipment and temporary storage for waste packages. Starting with the identification of the waste streams and assessment of various treatment concepts together with the Customers, the best waste treatment concept that covers all relevant waste streams will be assessed and proposed, e.g. by using the Westinghouse Simulation and Optimization software tool. A typical example for combined waste treatment technologies is the Westinghouse Site Radwaste Treatment Facility in Sanmen (China) as well as concept variations of the SRTF for other reactors (e.g. ABWR, VVER, etc). The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview on the Westinghouse experience to design and optimize waste treatment facilities for various types of reactors under operation or post operation/D&D condition.

Abstract:

Introduction: Today, about 90% of adult smokers started smoking before the age of 18. As the largest preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, tobacco use accounts for nearly 500,000 deaths and hundreds of billions of dollars to care for smoking-related illnesses every year. While most smoking cessation programs are geared toward adults, there is a void in attempts to curb teen smoking. Objective: With funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the Virtual Reality Medical Center (VRMC) sought to create a more effective way to help teens quit smoking. Utilizing cue exposure therapy to eliminate the association of smoking with objects and activities, the program uses virtual environments containing smoking cues to elicit the addictive behaviors and teach the users how to recognize and resist these triggers. Method: In a novel approach, VRMC recruited students from a local high school to aid in the design and development of virtual worlds in order to create an entertaining and effective program for teens. Researchers and the participants of this TeenSmoking program created a variety of anti-smoking environments ranging from scenarios at home, to peer pressure situations at school, all intended to elicit and educate users on addictive smoking behaviors. Conclusion: With past clinical success, researchers at VRMC hope to continue to implement widely available teen smoking cessation programs with enhanced usability, graphics, and multiplayer functionality. Overall, researchers hope to advance more comprehensive use of virtual reality to curb teen smoking addictions.

Abstract:

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage in young men is suboptimal. The aims of this study were (a) to examine HPV vaccination and factors associated with HPV vaccination in men 13 to 26 years of age and (b) to examine and determine factors associated with accurate self-report of vaccination. Young men ( n = 400) recruited from a teen health center and a sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic completed a survey. Accuracy was defined as correct report of at least one dose and number of doses. Mean age was 21.5 years, 104 (26.0%) received at least one vaccine dose and 49 (12.3%) received all three doses. Factors significantly associated with receipt of at least one dose in multivariable models included recruitment site (teen health center vs. STD clinic, adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.75), public versus other insurance (AOR = 2.12), and age (AOR = 0.68). Most young men accurately reported their vaccination status but accuracy of report differed by age: 50.6% of 14- to 18-year-olds, 75.9% of 19- to 21-year-olds, and 93.2% of 22- to 26-year-olds. Most (293, 73.3%) accurately reported number of doses received. Age was associated with accuracy of self-report of at least one vaccine dose (AOR = 1.42), while recruitment site (STD vs. teen health center, AOR = 2.56) and age (AOR = 1.44) were associated with accuracy of self-report of number of vaccine doses. In conclusion, HPV initiation and completion in this study sample were low. Teen health center attendance, public insurance, and younger age were associated with vaccine initiation; older age and STD clinic setting were associated with accurate vaccination self-report.

Abstract:

Introduction. Motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of fatalities among teens in the U.S. (National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 2013). Prior research suggests that real-time and post hoc feedback can improve teen driver behavior. The Driver Coach Study (DCS) aimed to improve teens’ safe driving habits by providing them real-time feedback and post hoc feedback to a broader range of risky driving behaviors that have never been used in previous studies. Exposure data were also collected so that rates of risky driving behaviors over time could be assessed. Post hoc feedback, which included an electronic report card of risky driving behavior as well as video clips, was provided to both teens and parents via email and secure website link. Method. Ninety-two teen/parent dyads were recruited in southwest Virginia to have a data acquisition system (DAS) installed in their vehicles within two weeks of receiving their learner’s permit. Data were collected through the nine-month (minimum) learner’s permit phase plus seven months of provisional licensure. Feedback was only provided for the first six months of post licensure, then turned off to assess whether teenagers returned to unsafe driving behavior. Trained data coders reviewed 15 seconds of video surrounding each risky driving maneuver, and recorded driver errors such as poor vehicle control, poor speed selection, drowsiness, etc., for each event. Results. In this paper, the relationship between driver coaching and driver errors will be examined across the six-month feedback phase and also compared to the seventh month when feedback was turned off. Conclusions. This study has implications for the design of future monitoring and feedback systems, as it is currently unknown whether these devices can improve novice drivers’ crash rates.

Abstract:

The results of a national survey conducted by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) in collaboration with the Center for Research on Pranata, University of Indonesia, showed the prevalence of drug-psychotropic abuse among junior, high school and tertiary students in 30 provincial capitals in 2013 by 3.4%. Trends in the number of abusers among adolescents show an increase every year. Until 2013 the number of drug abusers among adolescents increased 3x from 2009.. This study was conducted to determine the direct and indirect factors affecting drug abuse in teen age. The study used mix methode qualitative and quantitative study method through univariate analysis. The study population consisted of family and teenâ€™s drug abuser, and a sample of 40 of them was taken. The measurement results of univariate analysis Statistics on the influence of variables in the structural model and overall variables showed a positive and significant effect. The T-statistic value of all variables was above the critical value (1.96). The results of the test indicated that the empowerment and social support variables, directly and indirectly, influenced factors abilities. Knowledge, perceptions, attitudes and parenting had impacts directly on the factors abilities. Knowledge, family support, perceptions, attitudes and parenting variables had an influence on drug abuse abilities of teen. A controlled trial study should be done to see the impact of this model on reducing the risks during rehabilitation.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT IMPACT: This research highlights Adverse Childhood Experiences as a potential risk factor and intervention target contributing to the disproportionate number of individuals with sickle cell disease affected by asthma, a well-established catalyst to the increased morbidity and mortality impacting this high-risk population. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are strongly associated with asthma. A disproportionate number of individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) also have asthma. Asthma is strongly associated with increased SCD morbidity and mortality. This study compared the prevalence of asthma among children and adolescents with SCD with and without ACEs. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This retrospective cohort study involved 45 children and 30 adolescents with SCD. ACEs were captured using the Center for Youth Wellness Adverse Childhood Experiences Child and Teen Questionnaires, which encompass the original 10 ACEs as well as 7 (child) and 9 (teen) expert-recommended ('expanded') ACEs. ACE exposures were categorized as: Original 0-1 vs. ≥2; Original + Expanded 0-1 vs. ≥2. Asthma prevalence was compared among ≥2 and 0-1 ACE groups using the chi-square (or Fisher’s exact) test. A binary logistic regression was performed to predict the likelihood of asthma while adjusting for characteristics (age, household income and gender) that were statistically different among ACE comparison groups at baseline. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Among the 45 child participants, 64% had a history of asthma; whereas 50% of teens had a history of asthma. Asthma prevalence was higher among teens with ≥2 vs. 0-1 Original ACEs (89% v. 33%, p=0.014). A history of ≥2 ACEs remained significant (p=0.024) among teens after adjusting for age, household income and gender. There was no significance in asthma prevalence among child ACE comparison groups. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Adolescents with ≥2 ACEs had a higher prevalence of asthma compared to subjects with 0-1 ACE. This study, coupled with the cumulative nature of ACEs and the graded-dose response relationship between ACEs and poor health outcomes, highlight the need for larger, longitudinal studies examining the relationship between ACEs, asthma and SCD outcomes.

Abstract:

Abstract Social determinants of health (SDoH) influence risk of injury. We conducted a population-based, case–control study to identify which social determinants influence burn injury in children. Children (≤16 years of age) admitted to a Canadian regional burn center between January 1, 1999 and March 30, 2017 were matched based on age, sex, and geographic location 1:5 with an uninjured control cohort from the general population. Population-level administrative data describing the SDoH at the Manitoba Center for Health Policy (MCHP) were compared between the cohorts. Specific SDoH were chosen based on a published systematic review conducted by the research team. In the final multivariable model, children from a low-income household odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval) 1.97 (1.46, 2.65), in care 1.57 (1.11, 2.21), from a family that received income assistance 1.71 (1.33, 2.19) and born to a teen mother 1.43 (1.13, 1.81) were significantly associated with an increased risk of pediatric burn injury. This study identified SDoH that are associated with an increased risk of burn injury. This case–control study supports the finding that children from a low-income household, children in care, from a family that received income assistance, and children born to a teen mother are at an elevated risk of burn injury. Identifying children at increased potential risk allows targeting of burn risk reduction and home safety programs.

Abstract:

Between 2008 and 2016, more than 50,000 Chinese citizens migrated to Ghana to mine gold on small-scale concessions. This is particularly surprising given that small-scale mining is an activity reserved for Ghanaian citizens. Foreign gold mining is mediated by various intersecting political economic and geopolitical shifts, including unprecedented gold demand, economic crisis, and informal conditions to Chinese loans. Based on long-term, mixed-methods fieldwork, and drawing from feminist geopolitics research, we argue Ghana’s recent gold rush portends gendered implications for bodies in rural areas. We center our discussion on bodies to demonstrate the ways extractive practices increase vulnerability among women and children, including teen pregnancy and mercury exposure. Yet, women also contest foreign mining and its myriad implications (e.g., refusing to sell land and entering sites while menstruating despite being “forbidden” to do so). A feminist geopolitics perspective allows the tracing of specific political economic processes (Chinese monetary policies, informal loan conditions) to other sites (Pokukrom, the pregnant teen), thereby enabling a clearer understanding of how supportive interventions might occur.

Abstract:

Violence can adversely affect teenagers. Teenagers rarely report violence to their friends or family. Teens who are experienced with violent outbreaks have symptoms such as depression and anxiety, deviant behaviours such as smoking, drugs and alcohol and even attempted suicide. This Study used a cross-sectional design. The sample of the study were student aged 15-19 years who came from 18 Junior High School in Yogyakarta City. The study was conducted during August 2017. Sample size is 481 adolescents. Technique sampling used multistage random cluster sampling. The instrument used questionnaires on violence, knowledge, attitudes, self-confidence, family roles, peer roles, teacher roles and information sources. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis used chi square test. Results showed that 77.5% of adolescents were violent and 68.4% were physically abused. Peers are a risk factor for adolescents to engage in violence (PR: 1.335; CI 95%:1.205-1.479) and families also play an important role for adolescents engaged in violence (PR: 1.179; CI 95%: 1.079-1.292).

Abstract:

This historical cohort study investigated whether dimensions of the expanded Health Belief Model (HBM), the theoretical framework most applicable to the Women's Center Jamaica Foundation (WCJF) Program for Adolescent Mothers, can be applied to predict the occurrence of repeat pregnancies among teen mothers. A random sample ( n = 260) of primiparous Jamaican adolescent mothers 16 years and under who gave birth in 1994 in the parishes of Kingston & St. Andrew, St. Catherine, and Manchester was selected from vital records and interviewed in 1998 for this study. Multivariate analyses indicated that in addition to WCJF program participation, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, and perceived benefits were significant ( p < .05) independent predictors of repeat pregnancy. We recommend the HBM as a useful tool to identify participants who are more likely to experience one or more repeat pregnancies.

Abstract:

Physical activity and sport developmental programs have demonstrated some success at providing valuable resources for young women as they navigate their teen years, yet these programs are not always intentional and/or accessible (Cadwallader, 2001; Petitpas, Cornelius, Van Raalte, & Jones, 2004; Tucker Center, 2007). One such program developed by the Women’s Sports Foundation is GoGirlGo. The curriculum, which combines sports participation with education, focuses on reducing and preventing unhealthy behaviors and on providing valuable connections and resources for girls. Using the theory of developmental intentionality, this qualitative investigation examined the efficacy of GoGirlGo in a five day long sport camp setting. This condensed delivery method is not addressed or recommended in the literature, yet the results of this investigation reveal that this delivery method is effective and could broaden the accessibility of the program.

Abstract:

Promoting parent—child communication through the use of print materials may be an important health communication approach for preventing teen sexual activity in the United States. Although prior work has suggested successful methods of disseminating print materials, research has not examined dissemination approaches across organization types. Understanding the use and dissemination of print materials among different organizations is crucial to guiding materials development in a way that maximizes uptake and effectiveness among consumers. Accordingly, this study examined the use of a booklet for parents that encouraged parent–child communication about waiting to have sex as collateral material for a national media campaign. We interviewed staff at 9 community organizations, 9 health care facilities, 5 school-based organizations, and 3 campaign outreach centers. Results suggested variability within and across organization types regarding use of the booklet. Community and outreach center staff tended to walk through the booklet content with parents; health care facilities and education-oriented organizations usually reported both direct and indirect distribution approaches. Staff identified useful elements of the booklet and made suggestions for dissemination in line with prior research. A better understanding of how print materials are utilized to supplement media campaigns can improve their usefulness and potential influence on health behaviors.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction The recovery of a burn survivor continues long after the physical wounds are healed. Peer support groups offer survivors an opportunity for psychosocial recovery, particularly in the areas of self-acceptance, changes in perspective, and identity. Multiple published studies have found group support to be beneficial. We identified a need to provide a separate teen burn survivor support group to optimize engagement and to address specific age appropriate discussions. Methods The support group included female burn survivors 14–17 years of age. The group sessions were facilitated by a child life specialist and a burn nurse. Meetings were held on the same evenings as adult support groups to allow parents of the teen survivors to attend the adult meeting. During the first meeting, participants were given the opportunity to share topics they would like to discuss, and these were incorporated into the curriculum. Topics specific to teens included identity issues, body image, peer relationships, and what it means to be a burn survivor advocate. Additional outings have been incorporated such as family dinners and movie nights. After 15 months, participants were surveyed on their overall experience. Results The group was established in February 2018 and has had a steady participation of teen burn survivors. All teen burn survivors completed the participation survey. All teens strongly agreed their experience was positive, felt more connected to the other participants through the group activities, felt accepted by the other group members, and would recommend the teen support group to other teen burn survivors. Teens rated positive results for learning about themselves as a burn survivor, changing their perspective on their recovery, and the importance of participating in a support group. Conclusions Teen burn survivor support group has been shown to be a sustainable method to support these burn survivors and provide them with an opportunity for psychosocial recovery. Applicability of Research to Practice By sharing our experience with a teen burn survivor support group, we hope to inspire other burn centers in developing ways that their facility can meet the needs of burn survivors.

Abstract:

The Hispanic population is rapidly growing in the U.S. The health issues that challenge this population are often unique. Pregnancy rates among Hispanic teens have remained steady or risen in some areas. Yakima County, Washington has the highest teen pregnancy rate for women aged 18-19 of any county in the state (182.72 per 1000 women compared with 104.32 per 1000 women in Washington). Over half of the births in this age range are to Hispanic teens. For these reasons, Planned Parenthood of Central Washington, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, collaborated with Central Washington University to conduct formative research on Hispanic teen pregnancy prevention. This qualitative focus group study revealed perceptions of adolescents and parents of communication patterns, desired content of sexuality education programs, and the provision of sexuality education programming. Understanding these perceptions may be the first step in developing educational programs that have a positive impact on Latina teens.

Abstract:

Extrafamilial sexual abuse experiences of young adolescents (ages 10–14), particularly young teen boys, are not well studied. This retrospective chart review study compared psychosocial correlates and victimization experiences between young adolescent girls ( n = 226) and boys ( n = 64) referred to a hospital child advocacy center. Several differences in risk behaviors and abuse experiences were found: Girls were more likely to have run away, to be truant from school, to report substance use, to have multiple perpetrators, and to have physical findings from the abuse. Boys were more likely to have a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder and to report anal penetration, and rarely disclosed abuse at the time of the incident. Peers were girls’ most common choice for disclosing abuse, whereas boys confided most often in their mothers or other adults. These findings suggest sexually abused young adolescent girls and boys need distinct, developmentally appropriate screening and care in school and health care settings.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT :Islam is the most adhered to religion in Indonesia. However the quality of spiritual communities in Indonesia in particular even large cities inversely proportional to the quantity of the Islamic religions. Along with the development of the times, the modernization that occurred in the community resulting in changes in lifestyle and morals. This has a greater impact on the younger generation who have dynamic characters. But not all young people negative affected from current development. Awareness of religious values began to increase the younger generation. It can be seen from more muslim teen communities attending and holding religious and humanitarian activities. However, it supports the activities of muslim youth inadequate the consequences of this mosque’s downward spiral to have only worship functions and the Muslim youth need to be provided with a positive support facility. It was therefore a community center in the context of behaviour based on islam that can strengthen the spiritual, educational, social, and cultural traditions of the Islamic generation so it can become a sustainable, self-sustaining communit.

Abstract:

“What Children see, Children do”, role modeling is a momentous progression in child’s life. All children have role model at some point in their lives. The point is who they see as their model. This may seem trivial whereas it creates an enormous impression on the impending behaviour and resolutions of the child. It is important for a child to have a social life. Peer and community may also affect the antisocial behaviour of a child. If a child is antisocial or excluded by the peer group, this may lead to stress, apprehension and downheartedness and may even shoddier psychological disturbances. This escalates the risk of crime among juveniles. There are various reasons for delinquency it can be psychological, economic, political and social. This paper tries to answer the questions, whether Juvenile Delinquency is a social issue and how it can be recognized in the teaching or learning environment and what are the implications of Juvenile Delinquency for teachers and students. It also analyses role modeling and parenting in the selected poems in the anthology titled Teen Poems from behind Bars poems written by youth at Denney Justice Center in Everett, Washington.

Abstract:

AbstractObjectiveTo describe trends of childhood stunting among under-5s in Uganda and to assess the impact of maternal education, wealth and residence on stunting.DesignSerial and pooled cross-sectional analyses of data from Uganda Demographic and Health Surveys (UDHS) of 1995, 2001, 2006 and 2011. Prevalence of stunting and mean height-for-age Z-score were computed by maternal education, wealth index, region and other sociodemographic characteristics. Multivariable logistic and linear regression models were fitted to survey-specific and pooled data to estimate independent associations between covariates and stunting or Z-score. Sampling weights were applied in all analyses.SettingUganda.SubjectsChildren aged <5 years.ResultsWeighted sample size was 14 747 children. Stunting prevalence decreased from 44·8% in 1995 to 33·2% in 2011. UDHS reported stunting as 38% in 1995, underestimating the decline because of transitioning from National Center for Health Statistics/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standards to WHO standards. Nevertheless, one in three Ugandan children was still stunted by 2011. South Western, Mid Western, Kampala and East Central regions had highest odds of stunting. Being born in a poor or middle-income household, of a teen mother, without secondary education were associated with stunting. Other persistent stunting predictors included small birth size, male gender and age 2–3 years.ConclusionsSustained decrease in stunting suggests that child nutrition interventions have been successful; however, current prevalence does not meet Millennium Development Goals. Stunting remains a public health concern and must be addressed. Customizing established measures such as female education and wealth creation while targeting the most vulnerable groups may further reduce childhood stunting.

Abstract:

In the United States, thousands of young people reside in private schools aimed at reforming ‘troubled teens’. These ‘troubled teens’ are young people who are considered to have emotional, behavioural and/or substance misuse problems. Therapeutic boarding schools are programmes that combine educational classes and group therapy in a self-contained residential facility that runs year-round. Case study interviews with former US-based therapeutic boarding school students demonstrate the role of sanism, adultism and epistemic injustice in constructing and regulating the ‘troubled teen’. The schools’ strict structure and surveillance culture could not override students will and their ability to find means to resist. The article’s central aim is to centre the perspectives of former students and critique social control of young people in therapeutic boarding schools.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective Parents routinely access young children’s medical records, but medical societies strongly recommend confidential care during adolescence, and most medical centers restrict parental records access during the teen years. We sought to assess public opinion about adolescent medical privacy. Materials and Methods The Cornell National Social Survey (CNSS) is an annual nationwide public opinion survey. We added questions about a) whether parents should be able to see their 16-year-old child’s medical record, and b) whether teens would avoid discussing sensitive issues (sex, alcohol) with doctors if parents could see the record. Hypothesizing that highlighting the rationale for adolescent privacy would change opinions, we conducted an experiment by randomizing question order. Results Most respondents (83.0%) believed that an adolescent would be less likely to discuss sensitive issues with doctors with parental medical record access; responses did not differ by question order (P = .29). Most also believed that parents should have access to teens’ records, but support for parental access fell from 77% to 69% among those asked the teen withholding question first (P = .01). Conclusions Although medical societies recommend confidential care for adolescents, public opinion is largely in favor of parental access. A brief “nudge,” asking whether parental access might harm adolescent–doctor communication, increased acceptance of adolescent confidentiality, and could be part of a strategy to prepare parents for electronic patient portal policies that medical centers impose at the beginning of adolescence.

Abstract:

The effects of different factors—such as age, sex, performance level, and athletic shoe features—on postural balance in athletes remain unclear. The main objective of our study is to identify the features of postural stability in athletes of different age, sex, performance level, and using different types of athletic shoes. This study assessed postural stability in athletes (n = 936, 6–47 years) in a normal bipedal stance with eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC). Postural stability was evaluated based on the center of pressure (COP), sway area (AS), and velocity (VCP) while standing on a stabiloplatform. Children (6–12 years) and teen athletes (13–17 years) showed reduced AS-EO (p < 0.01) and VCP-EO (p < 0.01) compared to control (n = 225, 7–30 years). In male and female athletes aged 18+, only VCP-EC was lower versus control. In females (13–17 and 18+), VCP-EO and EC were lower than in males (p < 0.05). Only in the Shooting group, the athletes’ performance levels had an effect on VCP-EO (p = 0.020). Long use of rigid athletic shoes with stiff ankle support was associated with reduced posture stability. Postural stability in athletes was mostly influenced by the athlete‘s age, and, to a lesser extent, by their sex, performance level, and athlete shoe features.

Abstract:

Casual observation in the "Park Street Area," the commercial and residential heart of the large Puerto Rican community of Hartford, CT, suggests that smoking in the presence of children is a common event. Driving in cars with their families or ambling past storefronts with strollers or small hands in tow, parents regularly can be seen fumando un cigarillo (smoking a cigarette). Additionally, Hispanic Health Council researchers conducting home interviews with Puerto Rican parents over several years on various health topics (e.g., diet, pre-natal care, teen pregnancy) frequently have reported seeing parents smoking in front of their children. This recognition, and the growing awareness of the health risks of tobacco smoke exposure, led to the development of a pilot research study on the extent, spatial organization, and emic understanding of second-hand smoking among Puerto Rican families in Hartford. With a Latino population of approximately 50,000 people (the majority of whom self-identify as Puerto Rican), comprising about 40% of the city's population and the majority of students in the local school system, Hartford was a prime site for such research. The study was submitted to and funded by the seed grant program of the Center for Health, Intervention and Prevention at the University of Connecticut. The purpose of this funding mechanism is to provide initial support to investigators to stimulate new research in health behavior change.

Abstract:

A literature review was conducted on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to inform the development of the communications component of a teen dating violence prevention initiative entitled Dating Matters: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen Relationships. The review aimed to identify who influences youth in high-risk urban communities and how to best engage them. Sources included published peer-reviewed studies supplemented by publicly available data, research, and trend reports. The review identified four core influencer groups: peers, mass media, role models/mentors, and parents. Peers have a unique influence, especially with regard to dating and dating violence, which teens are more likely to discuss with peers than adults. Mass media is another key influence because of this audience’s high rates of media consumption and because it can deliver messages directly to youth. Role models and mentors—for example, family members, other known individuals, and media figures—all have a strong impact on the values, attitudes, and behaviors of our audience. Parents are also a critical source of influence, but poverty and communication challenges appear to weaken this influence. Understanding that teens prefer to talk to peers about their dating experiences, value peer opinions on dating more than those of other influencers, and are more likely to conform to peer norms than parent beliefs, it is recommended that the communications component of Dating Matters leverage the power of peer influence and incorporate it into a direct-to-youth communication strategy. Influencer-to-youth programming that provides parents and mentors with communications skills training may be an important complement to this approach and can be provided through other components of the Dating Matters initiative.

Abstract:

169 Background: HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease. Exposure to this infection is associated with cancer later in life. Public data regarding HPV vaccination rates and health disparity (as evidenced by low-income, high teen birth and STI rates) were identified. Methods: Based on the supposition that health disparity is associated with low socioeconomic status, a Wisconsin state map provided by the Center for Urban Population Health identified 29 zip codes in the City of Milwaukee, and are broken by low, medium, and high income brackets. An HPV education program, in partnership with Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), was developed with a focus on the low income bracket to emphasize infection exposure and the safety and efficacy of the HPV vaccine in cancer prevention. This included education on safe relationships and emphasis on personal health advocacy. Program development was aimed at the health literacy of youth. Collaboration occurred with MPS leadership and their established health curriculum to ensure the HPV program accommodated the academic level of the freshman health classroom. Results: The data is reflective of HPV vaccine series completion rates within the zip codes where the HPV program was presented. Logistic regression was used and a significant rise for HPV completion rates by year (p = 0.0003) and by zip code (p < 0.0001) were observed. Conclusions: As the program evolves, program evaluations and public data continue to be reviewed along with feedback from various stakeholders to maintain the quality and integrity of the program. Additionally, Aurora Health Care has received requests to share this HPV program best practice with other institutions to expand it throughout urban areas of Wisconsin and Illinois.[Table: see text]

Abstract:

Purpose To compare the efficacy and safety profiles of XEN implant versus trabeculectomy as a surgical intervention for primary glaucoma Methods A retrospective cohort study of mild to moderate stage glaucoma patients, who had undergone either XEN implantation or trabeculectomy with adjunctive mitomycin C, was performed in a tertiary eye center Results Fifty-seven eyes for XEN implant and 57 eyes for trabeculectomy with medically uncontrolled glaucoma were included. Preoperative IOP was 16–33 mmHg. Visual field mean deviation was -9.11±6.93 dB in XEN group, and -9.67±5.06 dB in trabeculectomy group (p = 0.195). At the 24-month timepoint, mean IOP was reduced from 21.6±4.0 to 14.6±3.5 mmHg (32.4% reduction) in the XEN group (p<0.001), and from 22.5±5.8 to 12.5±4.1 mmHg (44.4% reduction) in the trabeculectomy group (p<0.001). Final IOP in XEN was significantly higher than trabeculectomy (p = 0.008) with lesser mean IOP percentage reduction at month 24 (p = 0.045). Mean number of medications was reduced from 2.2±1.4 to 0.5±0.7 in XEN group (p<0.001), and from 2.4±0.7 to 0.8±1.3 in trabeculectomy group (p<0.001). Final number of medications was not different between the groups (p = 0.225). Surgical success was comparable between XEN and trabeculectomy group. Overall success was 71.4% vs. 73.3% (p = 0.850), and complete success was 62.9% vs. 62.2% (p = 0.954), respectively. XEN had lower rate of numerical hypotony than trabeculectomy. No serious complication occurred in either procedure group. Conclusion At 24 months, XEN showed a rate of success comparable to that of trabeculectomy. Although XEN had a higher final IOP than trabeculectomy, XEN achieved 32% IOP reduction, and achieved final IOP in mid-teen level. No serious complication occurred in either group. XEN can be applied for treatment of mild to moderate stages of glaucoma in Southeast Asian patients.

Abstract:

Teen birth rates vary widely across counties in the United States. in this study, we examine whether the religious composition of a county is correlated with the rate of teen childbearing using both a traditional moral communities approach and a “decomposed” version of that framework. Utilizing 2000 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States Census Bureau, and the Religious Congregation and Membership Survey, we find that the total percentage of religious adherents in a county is not significantly correlated with the teen birth rate. However, when we decompose the Christian population into major denominational groupings, we find the percentage of evangelical Protestants in a county is positively associated with the teen birth rate while the percentage of Catholics is negatively associated with teen childbearing. Possible explanations for the association between religious context and teen birth rates are discussed, as well as their policy and research implications.

Abstract:

In this article, the authors describe a client-server architecture, designed for supporting data recording and transmission during emergency patient transportation by ambulance. The clients are a set of mobile apps, interfaced to the monitoring devices in the ambulance, that automatically send all the recorded data to a server at the destination center. One additional app enables the travelling personnel to input and transmit further significant patient data, or comments. At the destination center, the specialist physician logs onto the server, receives the data in real time, and is allowed to plot/analyze them, assessing the patient's situation, and possibly sending immediate feedback to the operators in the ambulance. The system is currently under evaluation at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Alessandria Children Hospital, Italy. The system, by allowing real time data communication, is able to provide clear advantages from the organizational and economical viewpoint.

The two main instruments of fiscal policy are government expenditures and taxes. Government expenditures are considered as the most powerful weapon available to fiscal policy makers, especially in developing countries such as Albania. During the last century , governments have spent more and more in relation to their national income. This increase in government spending can be explained by the impact that this variable can have on the economic growth of a country? In fact ,about the connection between the government spending and the economic growth of a country various studies seem full of contradictions.This conflict is explained by changes in terms of definitions and from the differencies of the various countries included in these studies. The objective of this study is to give an appropriate answer to the question : Can government spending have the potential to impact and stimulate economic growth? How the changes of the size of the fiscal policy instruments have affected indicators of economic growth in Albania? This article will focus on the role that the fiscal policy has on economic growth , especially in our country, reviewing economic growth theories, debates about the effectiveness of fiscal policy , and active fiscal policy. Finally some suggestions for the future addressing the government expenditures towards priority sectors.
