Research has found that anti-fat attitudes are pervasive among school-age children, adolescents, and adults (e.g., Ryckman, Robbins, Kaczor & Gold, 1989; Brylinsky & Moore, 1994). However, very few studies have examined this phenomenon in preschool-age children. Furthermore, prior methodology used to investigate this topic has been criticized for its unrealistic nature. Thus, the goal of this study was to examine body size awareness, stereotypes, friendship selection, and self-preferences of 3 to 5 year-old children, using improved methodology. The first improvement made to this study was the replacement of materials used in the past, with new stimuli: photographs of real children. These photographs were digitally altered to obtain three different body sizes (thin, average and overweight), while controlling for facial attractiveness. The intent of using photographs of real children rather than hand-made figures was to increase the realistic quality of the stimuli. Additionally, photographs of boys and girls were used to assess same- and cross-gender judgments of body size. For each item, children were asked to hand the selected target figure to the experimenter to decrease ambiguity about participant choices. Results showed that body size awareness increases as a function of age. Anti-fat bias was present in children as young as 3 years also increased as a function of age. Children were less likely to ascribe positive traits (e.g., "nicest" and "cutest") to the overweight target compared to either the thin or average sized targets. Similarly, children were more likely to assign negative adjectives (e.g., "stupidest" and "ugliest") to and prefer not to play with or look like the overweight targets relative to thin and average size targets. These results necessitate the implementation of body-size-acceptance-based programs in preschool and daycare facilities to reduce body-size-based stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination at an early age.

Background Middle-income countries are currently undergoing nutrition transition more rapidly than did high income countries. These populations are therefore at high risk of over-nutrition (obesity) and nutrition-related, non-communicable diseases before the elimination of under-nutrition and infectious diseases. Such nutritional double burden is most common in low SES groups of middle-income countries, such as the Maya of Mexico. Long-term poor environmental conditions during early life results in a population with high levels of chronic under-nutrition (stunting), and a consequent predisposition toward overweight/ obesity, and associated health risks later in life. It is important to be able to identify individuals at an increased risk of diseases related to double burden and to determine whether stunting impacts the ability to identify at risk individuals. Aims The overall purpose of this doctoral research was to examine double burden in the urban Maya, a low SES section of the Mexican population which is a current example of a population undergoing significant transition. The specific aims of this thesis were fourfold: 1) To describe the living conditions and population characteristics of the urban Maya of southern Merida in the spring and summer of 2010; 2) to determine whether body mass index (BMI) predicts adiposity indicators in a sample of women and children with a high prevalence of stunting, 3) to determine whether measures of linear growth in women can be predicted by their recalled childhood environment and 4) To determine whether the relationship between objectively estimated free-living energy expenditure and body composition is altered by stunting. Methods Data from interviews, anthropometric measurements and bioelectrical impedance analysis were collected on 58 Maya schoolchildren aged 7-9 years-old and their mothers living in the south of Merida, Mexico. Objective, free-living physical activity monitoring using combined accelerometry and heart rate monitoring of the children was also performed for one week. The interview data was used to describe the living conditions of the south of Merida. Whether stunting status or body proportions influenced the power of BMI to predict adiposity indicators was assessed for the mothers and the children. The mothers recalled early life SES was compared to their current measures of linear growth. The children s objectively estimated energy expenditure was compared to their body composition and measurements of body size. Results The Maya of southern Merida overall had access to clean drinking water and basic health care and have apparently eliminated acute under-nutrition. Yet they remained double burdened with simultaneous stunting and overweight/ obesity. Individual double burden levels were high, with 70% of the mothers were simultaneously stunted and overweight. Family level double burden was also high, with 28% of the families having an overweight mother and a stunted child. The rates of childhood malnutrition varied widely when using different cut-offs. Child stunting rates were between 15.5% and 37.9% when using -2 z-scores of Frisancho s Comprehensive (created using NHANES data) reference versus the 5th percentile of the WHO reference, respectively. Child overweight/ obesity rates were less than 10% when using weight-for-age on both the Comprehensive and WHO reference charts. Child overweight/ obesity as classified using BMI z-scores was between 27.5 to 34.5% using the Comprehensive and WHO reference, respectively, while child overfat was over 80% when using body fat percentage for age reference curves. BMI predicted adiposity indicators in these Maya children, explaining between 33 and 84% of the variance in arm fat index and waist circumference z-score, respectively. BMI was less strongly related to the mothers adiposity indicators, explaining between 19 and 70% of the variance in arm fat area and waist circumference. The relationship between BMI and adiposity indicators was unchanged by stunting or body proportions in either mothers or children. Mothers recalled early life SES was significantly related to but explained little of the variance in her measures of linear growth. Birth decade explained 5% of the variance in stature and the Modernisation index (urban/ rural birth, sugar sweetened beverage consumption, packaged food consumption) explained 5% of the variance in mothers leg length. Birth order, sibling number and consumer durable ownership were also significantly related to linear growth of the mothers. These Maya children had high levels of physical activity, as all exceeded the recommended 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day. After controlling for fat free mass, short stature did not predict lower resting energy expenditures in the children. However shorter stature did predict lower levels of activity energy expenditure, particularly in girls. Stunted girls had the lowest activity energy expenditures. Conclusions These urban Maya tend to have access to basic sanitation and services and are at a very high risk for NR-NCDs with the co-existence of chronic under-nutrition (stunting) and overweight/ obesity. The high rates of stunting do not impact the usefulness of BMI to estimate adiposity nor does stunting appear to impact children s energy expenditure. While BMI is useful to predict adiposity in these urban Maya children, it is not recommended for use in the mothers. Interventions to reduce childhood adiposity need to begin very early in life to most effectively reduce adiposity. Research into the low SES groups of middle-income countries, offers insight to what may occur in low-income countries as they advance in the nutrition transition.

This cross-sectional study looks at the health profiles of street children both in institutions and on the street between May and November 1989. The former group had a clinical examination, with blood and urine investigations done where possible; the latter group were only interviewed. 159 street children were interviewed of whom 47 were interviewed on the street. 73 children had clinical examinations; 64 of these had blood and urine investigations. The age range was 8 years to 19.8 years. 18.2% were females and 28.3% were black. 59,6% of those interviewed on the street had not been in an institution or shelter for street children. 27, 2% of the total group had been on the street for more 3 years. 3 7, 1 % perceived colds and chest complaints as their main physical health problem. This was confirmed by the fact that 69,2% had a history of respiratory problems. 44,7% said that they would go to a hospital if they injured themselves or were ill; however, 36,5% said they would not use or get any medication for problems such as a headache or a bad cold. 37·, 7% of children used a hospital while they were on street but 59, 7% had not used any facility while on the street. Most street children (72,8%) washed themselves at least occasionally and 61% washed their clothes. 47,2% had suffered trauma significant enough to seek hospital attention. 56% had skin problems (including lice and scabies) while on the street. 15,7% complained of visual problems and 10,7% complained of reduced hearing. Dental problems appeared to be of major concern with 37,7% complaining of either toothache or dental caries (23,3% had obvious caries on examination). 73,4% admitted to solvent abuse, 49,9% had never taken alcohol and 12,7% had never smoked. 43% had tried dagga, 10,8% white pipe (mixture of dagga and "Mandrax" which is smoked) and only 7,6% "Mandrax" alone. 10, 9% of boys and 10, 0% of girls indicated that they had been sexually exploited. Of the 67 examined 32,8% were below 90% of expected height for age, 44,8% were below 80% of expected weight for age and 8,6% had a circumference of head below 95% of standard. There is a 9,4% Hepatitis Bs ag carrier rate. No HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) antibodies were detected in 64 sera tested. On the basis of these results, the following are recommended: 1) Improving accessibility of health care resources. 2) Improving the availability of health care resources. 3)· Initiating contacts with street children by employing field health workers. 4) Drawing up a health care policy for street children institutions and field care workers. 5) Limit venereal disease management to single dose treatment where possible. 6) Further studies need to be undertaken in the following areas: - solvent abuse - utilisation of health care resources utilisation institutions of street children shelters and Further breakdown of habits, physical problems and results of examinations are presented.

Resumo: Durante quase 50 anos, centenas de meninos pobres, órfãos ou abandonados, viveram internados no Arsenal de Guerra de Mato Grosso, onde estudaram e trabalharam. Analisar esta iniciativa militar de articular trabalho e educação para disciplinar a população livre pobre, na segunda metade do século XIX, em meio a uma sociedade escravista, é o objetivo desta tese. Na primeira parte, após um rápido histórico do Arsenal de Guerra, criado em 1832 na província de Mato Grosso, para armazenar e produzir objetos necessários à manutenção de tropas militares em área de fronteira, apresento sua estrutura burocrática e examino suas finalidades como unidade complexa que reunia armazéns, oficinas, prisão e escola. Nessa trama complexa de relações sociais, os aprendizes interagiram com soldados artífices e mestres de oficina, professores e guardas, presos civis e militares, escravos e serventes aprenderam os oficios de sapateiro, tanoeiro, funileiro, entre outros, mas assimilaram também comportamentos considerados inadequados pelas autoridades imperiais. Ainda na primeira parte, analiso as atitudes contraditórias da população livre pobre, de rejeição e de submissão, ao projeto disciplinar. A inserção dos aprendizes no trabalho das oficinas e o aprendizado dos conteúdos necessários à formação de um trabalhador disciplinado são abordados na segunda parte. A terceira parte examina outros mecanismos de controle utilizados para submeter os aprendizes à disciplina do trabalho e evidencia o êxito da estratégia imperial ao demonstrar que o Arsenal de Guerra conseguiu formar não só bons operários, como também preparar mestres de oficinas. Mas nem tudo foi submissão. Descrevo também os mecanismos de resistência dos trabalhadores à disciplina, destacando as fugas dos aprendizes. Finalmente, evidencio como as atitudes de resistência provocaram o efeito perverso de reiterar o preconceito contra a infancia pobre, por meio da construção das categorias de aprendiz para designar a que se submete à disciplina do trabalho e a de menor para discriminar a criança insubmissa
Abstract: For almost 50 years, hundreds of orphaned or abandoned poor children were housed in the War Arsenal ofthe State of Mato Grosso where they studied and worked. To analyse this military initiative of providing work and education to discipline the poor, free population in the second half of the 19th century is the aim of this thesis. In the first part, after a brief history ofthe War Arsenal, which was created in 1832 in the then province of Mato Grosso to store and produce objects necessary for the maintenance of military troops in the border areas, I present its bureaucratic structure and examine its objectives as a complex unit that combined depots, workshops, a prison and a school. In the midst of complex social relationships where the apprentices interacted with trained soldiers and master tradesman, teachers and guards, civilian and military prisoners, slaves and servants; they learnt the trades of shoemakers, tanners and tinkers among others. But they also adopted types of behaviour considered to be inappropriate by the imperial authorities. Still in the first part, I analyse the contradictory behaviour of the poor, free population of rejecting and submitting to the disciplinary regime. The inclusion of the apprentices in the workshops and the learning of the necessary skills to become a disciplined worker are approached in the second part after a brief review of the literature on work and education. The third part examines other control mechanisms used to submit the apprentices to the work discipline regime and shows the success achieved by the imperial strategy by demonstrating that the War Arsenal managed to train not only good workers but also produced master tradesman. But it wasn't alI about submission. I also describe the resistance mechanisms used by the workers against the strict discipline, particularly the escape of apprentices. Finally, I show how this resistance provoked the perverse effect of reiterating the prejudice against the poor children by means of establishing categories for the a.pprenticesto designate those that submitted to the work discipline regime to a higher category and those that refused to a lower category who were thus subjected to discrimination

Over the last few decades, there has been increasing interest in the extent to which children should be able to participate in family law decisions that affect them. The ongoing discussion has been centred on how children should be heard and whether their views are in fact recognised and respected in practice. However, despite this growing interest, children continue to report feeling isolated and excluded from Australian family law decision-making processes.
This paper discusses the ways in which children are 'seen and heard' in the Australian family law system. It pays particular attention to the protectionist stance currently adopted by the Family Court of Australia, which favours hearing children's voices via filtered mechanisms, such as through appointed Independent Children's Lawyers or through family reports prepared by Family Consultants, as opposed to hearing from children directly. In this context, it examines the reluctance of Australian judges to embrace the practice of judicial interviewing. The paper goes on to consider whether the introduction of mandatory 'child-inclusive' family dispute resolution would go some way to addressing concerns about the inclusion of children's voices in parenting disputes.
This paper concludes that children should have direct, meaningful involvement in family law decisions that affect them. It argues that hearing from a child directly benefits children and decision making far more than hearing a child's voice through filtered, indirect means. It also contends that if a child wishes to express their views directly to a court or judge that they should be afforded the opportunity to do so as, like parents, they have to live with the decision that is ultimately made.

The underrepresentation of minority students in gifted programs is well documented, and is due, in large part, to limited definitions of giftedness and inadequate identification techniques. New methods of locating and identifying gifted minority students must be developed. The peer referral procedure has been cited as one method for locating students who may be gifted but are overlooked by the most common referral source--classroom teachers, but researchers have not investigated directly the use of peer referral for locating minority students in any ethnic group. The subjects were the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students (N = 1564) and their teachers in nine selected schools, divided into three groups: (a) schools with a Hispanic population of over 75%, (b) schools with an equal proportion of Hispanics and Anglos, and (c) schools with less than 25% Hispanic students. Students completed a peer referral form designed to reflect traits of gifted Hispanic students. Also, the number of teacher referrals using the traditional school district procedures was collected. Primary areas of investigation included the (a) relationship between the ethnicity of the nominator and nominee, (b) relationship between the gender of the nominator and nominee, (c) usefulness of peer referral to locate Hispanic students who may be gifted and (d) sensitivity of the peer referral instrument to Hispanic students. Qualitative and quantitative statistical techniques were used, including stepwise logistic regression, cluster analyses, odds ratios, and content analysis. Findings indicated that peer referral was a useful technique for locating Hispanic and Anglo students that teachers did not refer. Few differences were discovered between the Hispanics and Anglos on the instrument. Students referred peers who matched a stereotypical profile of the academically gifted student. In the balanced schools, Anglos tended to nominate other Anglos and Hispanics tended to nominate other Hispanics. Gender nomination patterns varied, depending on the question focus. Peer referral is a promising practice for locating some Hispanic students who may be gifted; however, if minority students who are different from the majority gifted student are going to be found, other methods of referral, besides teachers and peers, are needed. Researchers must continue to explore the differences and similarities between majority and minority children who are gifted.

Esta tese focaliza a formação do campo literário direcionado a crianças e jovens, em Mato Grosso e perfaz o surgimento de um cânone contemporâneo. Para isso, adotamos os estudos teóricos de Bordieu (1996, 2012) e Candido (2000). As implicações do postulado teórico desses críticos foram valiosas, a partir do momento que nos permitiu perceber a posição do autor literário e avaliar o valor e a pertinência de suas obras em determinadas configurações sociais. Primeiramente, apresentamos um estudo sobre a História da Literatura infanto-juvenil mato-grossense, a partir dos primeiros textos literários direcionados a esse público, publicados em periódicos como A Juventude (1916 a 1917), ou em jornais escolares como O Pequeno Mensageiro (1920) e O Liceu (1930), os quais foram responsáveis por ações e pela representação da criança dentro desse universo da escrita. Além disso, foram mapeadas mais de 70 obras infanto-juvenis para se chegar a um primeiro quadro de 26 (vinte e seis) publicadas por editoras em Mato Grosso. Levamos também em conta as obras de autores que publicaram fora do Estado como Antônio de Pádua e Silva e Aclyse de Mattos. Análises mais profundas foram feitas a partir do que consideramos marcos da produção local, a saber: Dunga Rodrigues, Uma aventura em Mato Grosso (1984); Maria da Graça Campos, As meninas e o sabiá (1987), primeiras obras da literatura infanto-juvenil mato-grossense após a divisão do Estado, e Lucinda Persona, A cidade sem Sol (2000) e Ivens Scaff, Uma maneira simples de voar (2006), representativos da produção contemporânea. Foram verificadas as tendências estéticas, os temas, as formas e os recursos visuais que moldaram essas obras, assim como a incidência dos níveis estéticos e utilitários. Suporte teórico fundamental, neste último capítulo, são os estudos de Mendes (1994), necessários para detectar os nossos parâmetros de análise. A conjunção da História e da Crítica literária, embasada nas análises de obras direcionadas ao público infanto-juvenil, é a força motriz deste estudoThis thesis is concerned with the formation of the literary field directly to children and young in Mato Grosso and, make up the beginning of a contemporary canon. With this view, we adopt the theoretical studies of Bordieu (1996, 2012) and Candido (2000). The implications of the theoretical postulate of these scientists were valuable which allowed us to recognize the position of literary author and estimate the value and relevance of their works in certain social settings. Foremost, we present a study about the History of Mato-grossense childrens Literature, from the first literary texts directed to this audience, published by periodic like A Juventude (1916 to 1917) or in school newspaper like O Pequeno Mensageiro (1920) and O Liceu (1930), they were responsible for actions and for the representation of the child within this writing universe. Furthermore, were mapped more than 70 children and youth works to achieve to the first chart with 26 (twenty-six) printed by publishers in Mato Grosso. We also consider the works that their authors have published in other place out of state like Antônio de Pádua e Silva and Aclyse de Mattos. Deeper analysis were made from what we consider mark of the local production, videlicet: Dunga Rodrigues, Uma aventura em Mato Grosso (1984); Maria da Graça Campos, As meninas e o sabiá (1987), first works of the mato-grossense childrens literature after the separation of the State and Lucinda Persona, A cidade sem sol (2000) and Ivens Scaff, Uma maneira simples de voar (2006), typical of contemporary production. The aesthetics trends, themes, forms and the visual features which shaped these works were verified, so well as the incidence of aesthetics levels and utilities in these productions. Fundamental theoretical support. In the last chapter, there are the studies of Mendes (1994), required to detect our analysis parameters. The conjunction of the History and the Book review, grounded in the analysis of works directed to children and youth, is the driving force of this study

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Chicano children’s literature was born in the wake of the so-called El Movimiento, the Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and especially the 1970s. In the 1990s, as a part of the rising trend of Multiculturalism and as a cultural product and a reflection of power relations, Chicano children’s literature strove to provide an authentic and accurate representation of Chicano identity. The representation of Mexican-Americans in children’s literature until then had been based on cultural homogeneity, historical distortion, and stereotypes, the distinctive elements which are at the core of the construction of the ‘Other’ and that serve to create and maintain structures of power grounded in fixed identities, opposed binaries and inequalities.
In Borderlands / La Frontera. The New Mestiza, Chicana author, Gloria Anzaldúa, rethinks the term ‘identity’, or rather ‘consciousness’, from an inclusive, queer perspective which is not based on opposed dualities. The ideas the author develops in her work on the Mestiza identity echo in her books for children Friends from the Other Side
/ Amigos del Otro Lado and Prietita and the Ghost Woman / Prietita y La Llorona. Prietita, “little dark one”, is Anzaldúa’s alter ego in her children’s books, her little child-
self, “tender, open and vulnerable” (Anzaldúa 2000: 63), who signals her mestizo identity: Mexican American and Indian. Anzaldúa’s second bilingual picturebook, Prietita and the Ghost Woman / Prietita y la Llorona, is illustrated by Maya Gonzalez, who portrays Prietita as a young girl of distinctively Mexican features (dark skin and long black hair).
As author and illustrator of her bilingual picture books, contemporary Chicana author Maya Gonzalez gives voice and celebrates the self through what she calls ‘the power of reflection’, moving beyond ‘authentic’ or ‘accurate’ representations of Chicano identity. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse Gonzalez’s picturebooks, starting by focusing on the Nature Trilogy, in which the author highlights our connection to nature (My Colors, My World / Mis colores, mi mundo, I Know the River Loves Me / Yo sé que el río me ama, and Call Me Tree / Llámame árbol), to later explore her most recent projects published by her own independent press, among them The Gender Wheel, “a nature-based, inclusive, body positive story of gender”. I also pay attention to the visual poetry she has created together with Chicano poet Francisco X. Alarcón in a series of picturebooks published between 1997 and 2017.
The research questions I address in my study are the following:
1. How has the representation of Chicanx identity in children’s literature reflected ethnic and class power relations throughout Mexican-American history?
2. What elements does Maya Gonzalez make use of visually and verbally for her projects to subvert power relations in terms of aetonormativity, ethnicity and gender?
3. How is contemporary Chicanx children’s literature being received within the
United States context?
4. How are educational programs in the US context integrating these picturebooks, if they are doing so?
5. How are Maya Gonzalez’s presentations at seminars and workshops helping bring about social change in Chicanx and non-Chicanx children’s identities?
In order to analyse the way(s) in which words and images interact, my focus will be on the dual code, visual and verbal, which is characteristic of picturebooks. I examine the elements Gonzalez makes use of, both as an illustrator and as a writer, to give voice and to represent identity, and how her projects create spaces of inclusiveness and agency,
celebrate diversity, and become a source of reflection for all children, Chicanx and non- Chicanx. I frame my study within a critical multicultural approach in order to explore the subversion of power relations in terms of aetonormativity, ethnicity and gender when representing identities in picturebooks for young readers. A critical multicultural analysis of children’s literature (Botelho and Kabakow 2009) allows me to focus on the ideology and power relations at work in children’s literature, so as to bear a critical perspective on Multiculturalism. Although it is not the main purpose of this work, I include two fieldwork studies on the reception of contemporary picturebooks authored by Chicanx authors in order to explore the reception of these works in the US context, both in the publishing industry, and in the educational field, as well as in order to complement the analysis of the representations of Chicanx identity through word and image.En el capítulo dedicado a los niños latinos y la educación pública en Estados Unidos en Celebrating Cuentos de Naidoo, Ream y Vazquez reflexionan en torno a la noción de “testimonio crítico” y la literatura como medio “(1) para estimular la resistencia entre los jóvenes hispanos a los estragos causados por el trauma que perpetúan su sentido de la ‘otredad’, y (2) para traducir las ofensas del pasado en posibilidades del presente” (13). ¿Cómo puede la literatura estimular la resistencia entre los jóvenes latinos para traducir las ofensas del pasado en posibilidades del presente? Mediante la creación de espacios narrativos “impulsados por la empatía y el entendimiento, en lugar de por presunciones derivadas de los estereotipos, el miedo y la ignorancia” (14). Esto es lo que Anzaldúa hace para proporcionar a los niños chicanos una representación de su cultura y de su identidad en sus dos libros infantiles. En la década de los sesenta, mientras trabajaba como profesora de primaria, la autora chicana se dio cuenta de que los niños migrantes y bilingües necesitaban ver su cultura en los libros que leían. Tal y como exploré en el marco teórico de este studio (sección 2.1.3), en Borderlands / La Frontera. The New Mestiza (1987) Anzaldúa repiensa el término ‘identidad’ desde una perspectiva inclusiva que no se basa en dualidades. Para la autora chicana, la conciencia de la nueva mestiza debe trascender la mezcla de razas (raza) para convertirse en una ‘intersección’. De la misma manera, la frontera no se refiere únicamente a la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos, sino más bien a una frontera metafórica e indeterminada, entendida aquí como un ‘Tercer Espacio’, un lugar de contacto, de fusión, un puente que pone en contacto a las diferencias. Se considera que la nueva mestiza sirve como mediadora, como un puente que une personas de diferentes colores, clases, razas y periodos de tiempo, que enseña a los ‘recién llegados’, a las futuras generaciones, de forma que sus cambios internos devienen cambios en la sociedad. Las ideas que la autora desarrolla en Borderlands / La Frontera tienen eco en sus libros para niños Friends from the Other Side / Amigos del Otro Lado (1993)1 y Prietita and the Ghost Woman / Prietita y la Llorona (1995). Tras años sufriendo los efectos de la colonización en su propio país, para Anzaldúa era esencial representar la identidad chicana de manera positiva y así, transformar el mundo construido por el colonialismo

It is unknown why allergic symptoms do not develop in all sensitized children. We analyzed prospectively the postnatal secretory IgA (SIgA) development and whether high SIgA levels would protect sensitized infants from developing allergic symptoms. Salivary total IgA and SIgA levels were determined by ELISA, and allergy development was investigated at 3, 6, and 12 mo and at 2 and 5 y in two birth cohorts in Estonia (n = 110) and Sweden (n = 91), two geographically adjacent countries with different living conditions and allergy incidence. Total and SIgA levels increased with age, reaching adult levels at the age of 5. Virtually, all salivary IgA in Estonian children was in the secretory form, while a major part of IgA in Swedish saliva lacked the secretory component up to 2 y of age. In Sweden, high levels of salivary IgA without secretory component correlated inversely with house dust endotoxin levels. High SIgA levels were associated with less development of allergic symptoms in sensitized Swedish children. In conclusion, postnatal maturation of the salivary SIgA system proceeds markedly slower in Swedish than Estonian children, possibly as a consequence of low microbial pressure. SIgA may limit allergy-mediated tissue damage at mucosal surfaces in sensitized individuals.When submitted this article was titled "Slower maturation of the secretory IgA system in Swedish than Estonian children: possibly caused by low microbial pressure and related to expression of allergy in sensitised individuals".

A obesidade infantil nas últimas três décadas aumentou sua prevalência substancialmente. Estima-se que cerca de 170 milhões de crianças em todo mundo estão acima do peso. A prática de atividade física proporciona benefícios à saúde da criança com evidências epidemiológicas no crescimento, controle de peso e do bem-estar psicológico e social. Objetivos: Analisar a associação entre excesso de peso e prática de atividade física em crianças residentes em municípios da Amazônia legal, Mato Grosso. Métodos: A presente investigação constitui-se de um estudo de corte transversal, de base populacional, em uma amostra de 324 crianças de idade entre 5 a 9 anos, residentes na área urbana dos municípios de Alta Floresta, Diamantino, Sinop e Sorriso, no ano de 2007. As variáveis demográficas, socioeconômicas, comportamentais e atividade física foram obtidas por meio de inquérito domiciliar com os pais/responsáveis pelas crianças e foram analisadas no módulo survey do Programa Stata versão 11. Resultados: A prevalência de excesso de peso foi de 24,14%. Entre as crianças observou–se que a atividade de lazer mais frequente foi andar de bicicleta (57,22%) e jogar futebol (44,12%). Verificou-se que 60,62% das crianças brincavam em casa ou na rua ativamente, 49,68% deslocaram-se a pé de casa para escola, 14,53% realizavam como atividade doméstica, limpeza do quintal. O excesso de peso foi mais prevalente nas crianças do sexo masculino, com idade inferior e igual a sete anos as que não vão a pé para a escola (30,55%). Conclusão: A prevalência de excesso de peso encontrada neste estudo foi alta. As crianças com idade inferior e igual a sete anos de idade, os meninos e aquelas que se deslocam a pé para a escola apresentaram maior prevalência de excesso de peso. Há necessidade de ações no controle da obesidade infantil nos municípios estudados, monitoramento para detecção precoce e prevenção de problemas de saúde durante a sua vida. A adoção de estilo de vida saudável incluindo práticas de atividade física, bem como educação alimentar, são estratégias essenciais para o controle do excesso de peso.
Childhood obesity has increased over the past three decades its prevalence substantially. It is estimated that about 170 million children worldwide are overweight. Regular physical activity provides health benefits for kids with epidemiological evidence on growth, weight control, and psychological and social well-being Objectives: To analyze the association between overweight and physical activity in children living in cities of Amazonia, Mato Grosso Methods: The present investigation consisted of a study of cross-sectional population based on a sample of 324 children aged 5-9 years living in the urban area of Alta Floresta, Diamantino, Sinop and Sorriso, in 2007 demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and physical activity variables were obtained through home interviews with parents / guardians of children and were analyzed in the survey module in Stata version 11 program. Results: the prevalence of overweight was 24.14%. Among children it was observed that the activity was more frequent leisure cycling (57.22%) and playing soccer (44.12%). It was found that 60.62% of children were playing at home or on the street actively 49.68% shifted walk from home to school, 14.53% practiced as a domestic activity, cleaning the yard. Overweight was more prevalent in male children, under the age equal to seven years and those that do not will walk to school (30.55%). Conclusion: The prevalence of overweight in this study was high. Children under age and equal to seven years of age, boys and those moving walk to school had higher prevalence of overweight. There is need for action in the control of childhood obesity in the cities studied, monitoring for early detection and prevention of health problems during their lifetime. Adopting healthy lifestyle practices including physical activity and nutrition education are essential strategies for the control of overweight.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The trafficking of children, with the purpose of sexual exploitation, has attained significant attention in the international realm. At present, children‟s human rights are protected by a number of international treaties adopted by the United Nations, which are also ratified by many states. These treaties have a norm setting function which influences domestic laws in the countries that have ratified them. The „1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child‟, the „Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime‟ together with the „2002 Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography‟ are important treaties with norm setting functions. These treaties influence international attitudes and policy measures concerning child trafficking. South Africa, the focus of this study, is in the process of creating a comprehensive legislative framework with the aim to protect children and combat child trafficking. Thus, this thesis examines how international treaties have impacted on South Africa‟s domestic legislation with regards to child trafficking. The influence of international treaties and norms on domestic policy and norms regarding child trafficking is illuminated in this study. This analysis builds on a model put forward by Sikkink and Finnemore (1998) of how norms are created by norm entrepreneurs. The assumption is that norms develop in phases through different platforms of organizations and states and these norms eventually become the status quo. This study provides an overview of international and domestic law pertaining to child trafficking as well as a theoretical discussion on the evolution of these norms. A theoretical framework of constructivism and to a lesser extent institutionalism is applied as an analytical tool in order to critically analyse the influence of international treaties on domestic policies in South Africa.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Handel in kinders, met die doel van seksuele uitbuiting, het aansienlike aandag gekry in die internasionale arena. Op die oomblik word die menseregte van kinders beskerm deur 'n aantal internasionale ooreenkomste wat deur die Verenigde Nasies gesluit is, wat ook deur baie state bekragtig is. Hierdie verdrae het 'n standaard normstelllingsfunksie wat binnelandse wette beïnvloed in die lande wat hierdie verdrae bekragtig. Die "1989 Konvensie van die Regte van die Kind", Die Protokol ter Voorkoming, Onderdrukking en Straf van Mensehandel, veral Vroue en Kinders, ter aanvulling van die Verenigde Nasies se Konvensie teen Transnasionale Georganiseerde Misdaad saam met die 2002 Opsionele Protokol tot die Konvensie van die Regte van die Kind op die Verkoop van Kinders, Kinderprostitusie en Kinderpornografie is belangrike verdrae met standaard normstellingsfunksies. Hierdie internasionale verdrae beïnvloed houdings en beleidsmaatreëls oor kinderhandel. Suid Suid-Afrika die fokus van hierdie studie, is in die proses om van 'n omvattende wetgewende raamwerk te ontwikkel wat daarop gemik is om kinders te beskerm en kinderhandel te bestry. Hierdie verhandeling ondersoek die impak van internasionale verdrae op die Suid-Afrika se plaaslike wetgewing met betrekking tot kinderhandel. Die invloed van internasionale verdrae en normes op binnelandse beleid en normes ten opsigte van kinderhandel word in hierdie studie ondersoek. Hierdie ontleding is gebaseer op 'n model van Sikkink en Finnemore (1998) oor hoe norme deur norm-entrepreneurs geskep word. Die aanname is dat normes in fases ontwikkel deur middel van verskillende platforms van organisasies en state en dat hierdie norme uiteindelik die status quo word. Hierdie studie gee 'n oorsig van internasionale en plaaslike wetgewing met betrekking tot kinderhandel, sowel as 'n teoretiese ontleding van die evolusie van hierdie standaarde. 'n Teoretiese raamwerk van konstruktivisme en tot 'n mindere mate institutionalisme word toegepas as 'n analitiese instrument om die invloed van internasionale verdrae op die binnelandse beleid van Suid-Afrika krities te analiseer. Sleutelterme: kinderhandel, internasionale reg, norme, konstruktivisme, beleid, Suid-Afrika.

Children who have experienced early relational trauma in the realms of neglect and abuse may go on to develop a range of dissociative states of being as a consequence or as a defence. Child psychotherapists are frequently referred children struggling with such a legacy, yet for historical reasons dissociation is notably absent from the psychoanalytic literature and not a formal part of our professional training. This thesis aims to illuminate how dissociative children may present in psychotherapy sessions and to assess whether there are indications that traditional psychoanalytic child psychotherapy technique may need adjusting if treatment is to be most effective. Current theory regarding the aetiology of dissociative pathology is presented including the significant contributions from attachment and neuroscience research, and the slender view offered by psychoanalytic theory is elucidated. Case histories of two of the three participant children are presented with specific reference to attachment and trauma. Process recording notes from the psychotherapy of all three dissociative children are subjected to thematic analysis to arrive at two sets of patient and therapist related themes which are then recursively discussed in fine detail to determine what evidence the material provides. The conclusion is drawn that whilst dissociative children present with some distinct difficulties, these do not dominate the therapeutic endeavour and are largely similar to the presentation of traumatised and attachment disordered patients with whom child psychotherapists are very familiar. Furthermore it is suggested that whilst child psychotherapists treating dissociative children should consider psychoeducuative, organising and validating interventions, their core psychoanalytic skills of withstanding and analysing hostile and perverse transference material, together with their experience in creatively bringing all parts of the self to the child‟s conscious awareness are central to helping dissociative children recover.

Previous issue date: 2009Estudos sobre o perfil nutricional dos povos indígenas no Brasil têm apontado para elevadas prevalências de desnutrição infantil, principalmente crônica, superando os valores reportados para crianças não indígenas. O processo de transição epidemiológica que esses povos vêm atravessando está vinculado a modificações significativas no padrão de alimentação e subsistência. A investigação de fatores associados à desnutrição é um importante meio para a compreensão das transformações na saúde. Os complexos e múltiplos fatores que estão atrelados ao crescimento linear de crianças não indígenas já são reconhecidos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi descrever o estado nutricional e analisar os fatores associados ao crescimento de crianças indígenas Xavante de Pimentel Barbosa/ Etênhiritipá (MT). Considerando o contexto de vida contemporâneo da comunidade, foram selecionadas variáveis socioeconômicas, ambientais, reprodutivas e demográficas. Realizou-se uma análise descritiva a partir da construção dos índices do estado nutricional infantil (P/I, E/I e P/E) de 225 crianças menores de dez anos. Utilizou-se as curvas de referência do National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) e Organização Mundial de Saúde (2006). A partir da estatura (E) e idade (I) de 173 crianças menores de dez anos, foram conduzidas análises univariada e multivariada (significância = 5%), tendo o E/I como variável resposta por meio dos programas SPSS 9.0 e R 2.4.1. As variáveis independentes foram: sexo, idade, idade materna, estatura materna, IMC materno, índices socioeconômicos ( renda e riqueza , analisados separadamente), proporção de adultos e de crianças no domicílio. Os pressupostos paramétricos foram testados, assim como verificados os resíduos e a colinearidade utilizando VIF (Variance Inflation Factor), do modelo final. O baixo P/I e E/I, de acordo com o NCHS, atingem 5,6 e 14,7 por cento das crianças menores de 10 anos. Já entre as crianças menores de 5 anos, esses valores, pela OMS, chegam a 4,5 e 29,9 por cento, respectivamente. A variação do estado nutricional das crianças menores de 2 anos teve a proporção do número de adultos na habitação e a idade da criança como fatores associados, nos dois modelos com os ISE diferentes. O IMC materno explicou 11,5 por cento da variabilidade do escore z nas crianças entre 2 e 5 anos. Naquelas acima de cinco anos os índices socioeconômicos renda e riqueza e a estatura da mãe mostraram-se associados ao estado nutricional. Na verificação do melhor modelo, através do teste Anova, observou-se que a contribuição de ambas as variáveis socioeconômicas foram significativas (p=0,004 e p=0,001, respectivamente) e todos os valores de VIF foram menores que 10. Também foi descartada a possibilidade de interação entre as variáveis. É possível que outros fatores, além dos analisados, estejam associados à baixa E/I de crianças Xavante. Os achados permitem uma melhor compreensão das condições devida e dos fatores que explicam, mesmo que parcialmente, o estado nutricional das crianças indígenas. As elevadas frequências de desnutrição encontradas evidenciam importantes implicações para os serviços de saúde, com necessidade de um acompanhamento contínuo a fim de minimizar os danos provocados pelos agravos nutricionais. Assim, os resultados dessa investigação podem auxiliar na implantação de propostas que visem a melhoria do quadro de saúde e nutrição e o delineamento de ações mais específicas para o tratamento e prevenção da desnutrição.
Studies of the nutritional profiles of indigenous peoples in Brazil indicate high prevalences of infant undernutrition, principally chronic, surpassing the values reported for non-indigenous children. The process of epidemiological nutrition being experienced by these peoples is associated with significant modifications in dietary and subsistence patterns. Investigating the factors associated with undernutrition is an important means for understanding health change. The complex and multiple factors involved in linear growth of non-indigenous peoples are already recognized. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to describe the nutritional status of and analyze the factors associated with growth among indigenous Xavante children of Pimentel Barbosa/Etênhiritipá, Mato Grosso. Taking into consideration the contemporary context of life in the community, socioeconomic, environmental, reproductive, and demographic variables were selected. Descriptive analysis began with the construction of infant nutritional status indexes (weight-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height) for 225 children under 10 years of age. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and World Health Organization (2006) reference curves were employed. Based on the height and age of 173 children under 10 years of age, univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted (significance = 5%), with height-for-age as a response variable, using the software programs SPSS 9.0 and E 2.4.1. Independent variables were: sex, age, maternal age, maternal height, maternal IMC, socioeconomic indices (income and wealth, analyzed separately), and proportion of adults and of children in the domicile. Parametric assumptions were tested, and the residuals and collinearity of the final model were verified using variance inflation factor (VIF). Low weight-for-age and height-for-age, according to NCHS reference curves, reached 5.6% and 14.7% of children under 10 years of age. Among children less than 5 years of age, these values, according to WHO reference curves, reached 4.5% and 29.9%, respectively. Variation in nutritional status among children less than 2 years of age was found to be associated with proportion of adults in the domicile and age of the child in the two models with different socioeconomic indices. Maternal BMI explained 11.5% of the variation in z-scores among children between 2 and 5 years of age. Among children 5 years of age and older, the socioeconomic indices (income and wealth) and maternal height were found to be associated with nutritional status. In verifying the best model by means of ANOVA test, it was observed that the contribution of both socioeconomic variables were significant (p=0.004 and p=0.001, respectively) and all VIF values were less than 10. The possibility of interaction between the variables was also eliminated. It is possible that other factors that were not analyzed are associated with low height-for-age among Xavante children. The findings permit a better understanding of the life conditions and factors that explain, even partially, the nutritional status of indigenous children. The elevated frequencies of undernutrition encountered have important implications for health services, including the necessity of continuous accompaniment in order to minimize the harm caused by nutritional hardship. Thus, the results of this study may be useful for developing proposals that seek to better health and nutritional conditions and in delineating more specific actions for treating and preventing undernutrition.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Risk and protective factor models have made, and will continue to make, a significant contribution to our understanding of child development and the services that may prevent or alleviate impairments to children's health and development. Despite this, the models are a rather blunt instrument and do not adequately explain the wide variation in children's outcomes in response to risk or adversity. If services are to be more effective we need to also better understand the mechanisms underlying the translation of risk to outcome: the study of resilience. Contemporary resilience research is largely preoccupied with understanding variation in outcomes in response to extreme forms of risk and adversity, such as exposure to violence or severe deprivation. This is congruent with the overriding focus of policy and practice on risk-reduction strategies and interventions targeted to the relatively small proportion of the population with impairments to their health and development. I argue that understanding the processes by which children deal with inevitable or normative risks, such as family conflict or predictable transitions at school, may hold more promise. To this end, a modest longitudinal study was designed in order to assesswhat contribution a model of resilience - grounded upon physiological and psychological stress processes - may add over and above a model of risk and protection in explaining variation in outcome following a period of inevitable risk. Whilst detriments in outcome following inevitable risk were observed for many children, for a sizable minority - distinguished by their psychological stress appraisal processes - the risk offered an opportunity for improved outcomes. The implication is that orthodox risk-reducing policy and practice interventions may miss important opportunities to equip children with the skills and resources necessary to be resilient to the risks that they will inevitably face as they grow up.

This project is a learning CD-ROM production aimed at first-time parents. It is using both sound and images, moving as well as non-moving. The purpose of the production is to be an interesting alternative to traditional books. We have been looking at similar productions like drivers license educational CD-ROMs and encyclopedias for inspiration and ideas on how to proceed. In order to give the content some dynamics, we've also added the element of 3D-animated sequences. The application is supposed to be run as a simple executable file with flash embedded. This will eliminate the need for third party software installation. The whole concept is to make the application as simple and as userfriendly as possible. In addition to the CD-ROM, we've also created a web site to help market the product and give our client the ability to update the content on their own. Future buyers of the product will also be able to order the CD-ROM via a form on the web site. This product has been created using vector based graphics through applications such as Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Flash MX. The 3D rendered sequences has been created using Alias Maya. The production has also been complemented with a speaker.Projektet är en läro-CD riktad till förstagångsföräldrar som med ljud och bild, såväl rörlig som stillbild, ska kunna erbjuda ett mer intressant alternativ till böcker. Mallen för vår skapelse har varit liknande CD-produktioner som till exempel körkortsprogram och encyklopedier. För att skänka lite mer dynamik till innehållet har vi även lagt in rörliga bilder i form av 3D-animationer. Applikationen är tänkt att kunna köras som en fristående programfil som har flash inbäddat. Detta ska eliminera behovet av att installera tredjepartsmjukvara på datorn. Hela konceptet går ut på att applikationen ska vara så enkel och användarvänligt som möjligt. Utöver själva CD-produkten fick vi även i uppdrag att skapa en webbsida som ska hjälpa marknadsföra produkten och ge vår beställare chansen att på egen hand kunna uppdatera sidan. Via sidan ska framtida kunde kunna beställa CD-skivan via ett formulär. Denna produktion är skapad med vektoriserad grafik med hjälp av Adobe Illustrator och Macromedia Flash MX samt 3D-renderade filmsekvenser skapade i Alias Maya. Produktionen har även kompletterats med en speaker.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar a prevalência de cárie dentária em crianças de 0 a 5 anos de idade da população indígena Kaiowá/Guarani de Mato Grosso do Sul e sua associação com o tempo de aleitamento, dieta cariogênica e hábitos de higiene bucal. A amostragem constou de 190 crianças, residentes na aldeia indígena de Caarapó / Mato Grosso do Sul, as quais foram submetidas a um exame clínico realizado por um examinador treinado e calibrado e os índices utilizados foram ceo-d, ceo-s e avaliação de presença de mancha branca separadamente, somente como indicador de atividade de cárie. Previamente ao exame físico das crianças, os responsáveis responderam a um questionário, sob forma de entrevista, com perguntas a respeito do tipo e tempo de aleitamento oferecido às crianças; hábitos alimentares cariogênicos, dentre os quais, foi avaliada a ingestão de açúcar e derivados, em relação`a quantidade e freqüência e o uso de alimentação noturna e, também, avaliação da realização de hábitos de higiene bucal (freqüência, dispositivo utilizado e uso de dentifrício). Os resultados demonstraram que os índices ceo-d e ceo-s dependem das variáveis: idade, tempo de aleitamento, adição de açúcar no leite, ocasião da ingestão de açúcar e derivados e freqüência de higiene bucal. Esta última contribui para diminuição do ceo-s e ceo-d, enquanto que as outras para o aumento dos mesmos. A presença de mancha branca depende somente da ocasião de ingestão de açúcar e derivados, de forma que sua incidência aumenta com a ingestão de açúcar e derivados em todas as refeições.The purpose of this research is to check the prevalence of dental caries among Kaiowá/Guarani Brazilian Indian children, from Mato Grosso do Sul, whose ages range from 0 to 5 years old and its association with the time they have been breast-fed, cariogenic diet and oral hygiene habits. One hundred ninety children, who live in a Brazilian Indian village in Caarapó, Mato Grosso do Sul, were clinically examined by an expert, and the indexes used were dmf-t, dmf-s and the evaluation of the existence of white stain separately, only as an indicator of the decay activity. Prior to the children clinical exam, people responsible for the kids answered a questionnaire, like an interview, asking about the kind and time of breast feeding the children had; cariogenic feeding habits such as sugar and its derivatives ingestion in relation to the amount, frequency and use of nocturnal feeding, as well as the evaluation of oral hygienic habits (frequency, means and use of toothpaste). The results showed that the dmf-t and dmf-s indexes depend on the age variant, time of breast-feeding, addition of sugar to milk, when sugar and its derivatives were ingested and frequency of oral hygiene. The last one contributes to the decrease of dmf-t and dmf-s, whereas the others contribute to their increase. The existence of white stain depends only on the occasion sugar and its derivatives are ingested, and its incidence increases when this happens at all meals.

This study aimed to establish a connection, if any, between perceptions of information disclosure about medical treatment and decisional conflict in bereaved parents of children with cancer. Decisional regret was an important theme in this exploration because decisional conflict strongly aligns with the propensity to mentally redo past events, thereby forming counterfactual alternatives to reality. People generate counterfactuals to hypothesize a more favorable outcome subsequent to a negative event or the death of a child as applicable to this study. A secondary objective was to investigate the potential influence of counterfactual processing and regret on the construct of self-acceptance: a phenomenon researchers have rarely studied in the population of interest.
Study participants included parents who lost a child to cancer in the United States after participating in medical treatment prescribed by a licensed oncologist. Cluster and convenience sampling were employed to recruit 92 participants. Quantitative methods were used in obtaining data samples through validated instruments for each independent and dependent variable. The responses collected indicate that a perceived lack of information disclosure about treatment risks and efficacy, yield a positive influence on decisional conflict after the death of a child. Similarly, decisional conflict positively correlates with decisional regret, while the latter negatively correlates with self acceptance in the bereavement process. The research implications call for additional studies that further isolate factors that contribute to decisional conflict. This study advocates for decision making tools and collaborative processes that ensure parents are well informed and involved in making medical decisions from diagnosis through palliative care, if a cure is not possible.

Ninety-six child protection files were scrutinized according to the Holland Complex Care Case Review Data Collection Instrument in order to verify the applicability of the instrument to determined the variables influencing social workers in the determination of bringing an adolescent in need of protection into care. Results show that school related issues seem to influence workers in determining the need to remove the child from the family. Statistical analyses indicated numerous correlations supporting the link between case complexity and the need to bring an adolescent into care.

This paper was written using various research based sources to determine the effects of self-esteem on learning and behaviors and whether or not the use of magic tricks can play a role in raising self-esteem and in motivating learning for children with exceptionalities. There have been multiple studies that show self-esteem has a significant effect on a child's ability to learn as well as studies that show self-esteem plays a role in a child's behavior. There are opposing studies showing that self-esteem has no effect on learning and behavior in children with and without exceptionalities. There was no information found that state high self-esteem has a negative effect on learning or motivation in children with exceptionalities or without exceptionalities. Regardless of whether or not one agrees that self-esteem affects learning and behavior in children with exceptionalities, it is important that educators find ways to help all children with exceptionalities, as well as without exceptionalities, improve their self-esteem thereby possibly helping improve learning, behavior, and motivation. One possible way to help raise self-esteem in children with exceptionalities is the use of magic tricks inside and outside the classroom. Incorporating the use of magic tricks in lessons seems to motivate learning. The information on the use of using magic tricks to raise self-esteem is limited to few articles and only one study. While the information on using magic to improve self-esteem in children with exceptionalities is limited, the information collected to date all state positive results using magic tricks to not only raise self-esteem but to also to motivate learning in children with exceptionalities.B.S.

Le nombre d’auteurs contemporains qui écrit pour les adultes et pour les enfants va croissant, à tel point que la critique anglophone a forgé le terme de crosswriters pour les désigner. Ce travail se propose d’observer ces va-et-vient entre L’école des loisirs et les Éditions de l’Olivier de 1991 à 2011. Ces circulations répondent à d’importants enjeux éditoriaux et témoignent du rôle crucial des éditeurs dans l’accompagnement des écrivains. Cette thèse s’intéresse plus particulièrement à Christophe Honoré et Manuela Draeger (un des hétéronymes d’Antoine Volodine). Tous deux usent singulièrement du crosswriting puisque certains de leurs textes pour enfants et de leurs textes pour adultes se répondent au point qu’un inter-dit peut siéger dans le blanc qui sépare ces deux corpus. Ce phénomène d’intratextualité, adossé à un geste de polyadresse, remet en cause l’intransitivité supposée de la littérature car pour être décrypté, ce dit en suspens appelle un lecteur transgénérationnel. Cet inter-dit est le lieu où se jouent des transitions d’un âge vers un autre, des transmissions d’une génération à une autre... Mais c’est aussi le lieu de ce qui ne passe pas et vient trouer l’œuvre pour faire écho au trauma individuel ou collectif. Et si c’est toujours le texte pour adultes qui délègue au texte pour enfants ce qui ne peut être articulé dans une langue adultocentrée, ces transferts ne viennent jamais suturer la béance du dispositif intratextuel mais explorent en littérature jeunesse d’autres rapports à la langue et disent quelque chose de l’être de langage que nous sommesThe number of contemporary authors who write both for adults and children keeps rising, so much so that anglophone criticism has coined the term crosswriters to label the phenomenon. This work proposes to observe back-and-forth crossings between L’école des loisirs and Éditions de l’Olivier between 1991 and 2011. What motivate these crossings are important editorial stakes that attest to the crucial role played by publishers in guiding their authors. This dissertation will look more specifically to Christophe Honoré and Manuela Draeger (one of Antoine Volodine’s heteronyms). Both writers resort to crosswriting in singular ways as some of their children’s books and books for adults respond to one another to such an extent that what I call an “inter-diction” lodges itself in the interstice that divides their respective corpuses. This phenomenon of intratextuality, supported by a gesture of polyaddress, calls into question literature’s supposed intransitivity given that, in order to be decrypted, this suspended diction calls for a transgenerational reader. This inter-diction is the stage where are performed transitions from one age to another and where occur transmissions from one generation to the next. But it is also the site of what does not pass, of what punctures the work in an echo to individual or collective trauma. And if it is always the texts written for an adult readership that devolve to those for children what cannot be articulated in an adultocentered language, these transfers never seek to suture the abyss opened by intratextuality but rather explore through children’s literature alternative relations to language, thereby teaching us something about the linguistic beings that we are

...That the Children May Learn is a 28-minute musical parable about the process by which children are indoctrinated into cultures of war through play, parental influence, and propaganda. Specifically, the composition focuses upon the universality of these overarching sociopolitical structures. It is the composer’s personal response to Igor Stravinsky’s L’histoire du soldat. Material is often drawn from or related to external sources, particularly national anthems and the so-called “Ur-song,” familiar to individuals of many nations (sol-sol-mi-la-sol-mi). Texts are original or comprise fragments from letters and diaries of soldiers and their families during wartime separation. Performance of the work may be accompanied by an optional multimedia projection, and may be conducted outside of the normal concert setting in an effort to motivate the closer examination by individuals from a broad variety of backgrounds of the issues raised in the piece. The analytical paper discusses the raison d'être for the composition as well as its micro- and macroorganization, and the variety of methods used to reinforce its strength as an agent of communication.text

abstract: ABSTRACT
This research is a study of the relationship between language acquisition and the status of equity. The history of the Maya people in Guatemala gives strong evidence that their failure to acquire competence in Spanish, which is the national language of their nation, has resulted in their failure to compete in the social, economic, and political components of their society. It also shows that they have failed to maintain their competence in Mayan, their own language, as a result of mistreatment from their conquerors who have shown a determination to eliminate their use of Mayan. Many Maya have left Guatemala and entered the United States in hope of finding the status of equity which has evaded them for hundreds of years.
The key to overcoming their poverty and loss of civil rights can be found in the US through compensatory programs offering them the opportunity of competency in English along with the opportunity to maintain their Mayan language. The US legal system guarantees equal rights for a quality educations for students who are learning English.
This study offers some suggestions for integrating the Guatemalan Maya into mainstream activities of the economy and social life of this country. It offers the idea of sustaining and increasing their competency in Mayan as a long-range possibility. The status of equity is available for the children of the Guatemalan refugees who enter the United States as they exercise their rights to a quality education.Dissertation/Thesis

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The Linguistic Interdependence Hypothesis as developed by Cummins (1978) argues that certain first language (L1) knowledge can be positively transferred during the process of second language (L2) acquisition. The L1 linguistic knowledge and skills that a child possesses can be extremely instrumental to the development of corresponding abilities in the L2. An integral component of these facilitative aspects of language influence is that the L1 be sufficiently developed prior to the extensive exposure to the L2 as would be found, for example, in an educational environment. An additional theoretical framework that has motivated this study incorporates principles of Universal Grammar, namely, that there are innate properties of language shared by the human species, and that language acquisition is the result of the interaction between these biologically determined aspects of language with the learner's linguistic environment. The principal goal of this dissertation is to examine children's knowledge of one area of Yucatec Maya L1 syntax, specifically, the word order of simple transitive sentences. By means of an experiment conducted with 28 Mayan children of 4 and 5 years of age, data were gathered and analyzed. Overall, the findings suggest that the subjects of the study are still in the process of acquiring the syntactic structure under investigation, that their L1 is still developing. Very few of the subjects demonstrated mastery of the structure under investigation. With regards to pedagogical concerns within the context of minority language education, the potentiality for these findings to enhance or inhibit the subsequent acquisition of Spanish as an L2 is examined.

Background: Several animal studies have shown the therapeutic effect of Xiao Qing Long Tang (XQLT) in asthma. However, However, there is still no large clinical trial to prove the effect of XQLT in children with asthma. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between XQLT use and asthma in children. Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study by using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. A total of 21 415 children with asthma were included as the study cohort. A Cox proportional hazard regression was performed to evaluate the association between XQLT use and asthma admission risk. Results: The patients who recorded as XQLT users and nonusers were 2 281 and 19 134 in the unmatched cohort. In the matched cohort, a total of 2 197 users and 8 788 nonusers were included. After adjusted for the age, gender, severity, Allergic rhinitis, Atopic dermatitis, and urbanization, XQLT was independently associated with the decreased risk of admission for asthma with dose-response relationship. In the unmatched cohort, the hazard ratio(HRs) were 0.54 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.36-0.81) in children who used XQLT 28 days or less and 0.34 (95% CI 0.21-0.55) in children who used XQLT more than 28 days, and were 0.53 (95% CI 0.34-0.82) and 0.34 (95% CI 0.21-0.56) in children who used XQLT 28 days or less and children who used XQLT more than 28 days in the matched cohort. Conclusion: In conclusion, XQLT use was associated with lower incidence of asthma admission in children with asthma. It may show the possible therapeutic application of XQLT in children with asthma. Further large-scale clinical study is needed.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a
source of diagnostic and intervention confusion and
uncertainty for practitioners and parents. Questions
creating some of the confusion were answered in a series of
three studies. The sample was parent and teacher behavioral
ratings for 389 children and 502 adolescents with ADHD and
3131 children and 3161 adolescents without ADHD in public
and private schools and mental health clinics in forty
states.
In the first study, data was derived from participant
T-scores on the Behavior Assessment System for Children (2nd
ed.) to evaluate the construct validity using first and
second order factor analyses. Sufficient construct
validity was established. In the second study, descriptive discriminant analyses
(DDA) and item level ANOVAs were used to investigate
whether behaviors that discriminate between the target
(i.e., ADHD) and comparison groups were associated with the
primary symptoms, comorbid conditions, functional
impairment, or some combination of the three. Analyses
were completed using subscale T-scores and individual item
scores from the target and comparison groups. Results were
compared to determine if the behaviors that discriminated
between the groups were consistent across developmental
stages and between parents and teachers as raters. Primary
symptoms, comorbid conditions, and functional impairment
explained the variance as rated by parents and teachers.
Primary symptoms were found to be the strongest
discriminators of children and adolescents as rated by
parents. Atypicality explained the largest variance
(72.25%) between children and learning problems explained
the largest variance (64.32%) between adolescents when
rated by teachers.
The third study was a literature review of
intervention studies to increase the academic performance
of youth with ADHD in light of the statistical significance
controversy. Fifty-one single subject and group design studies of academic, behavioral, multimodal and parent
training were found. Both sides of the statistical
significance controversy were summarized. The method of
result reporting for 23 group design studies was
investigated. Seventy-seven percent of the studies
reported results as ?significant? with 26% reporting effect
sizes. Researchers are encouraged to report effect sizes
and explicitly compare results to previous studies in order
to establish replicability for ease of educator
interpretation.

Methods and setting The study was analysis of secondary data from a community trial. The original study had been conducted in a war affected rural district in Northern Uganda in 2002. Results The intervention and control groups had comparable demographic characteristics, attitudes towards conflicts and violence, and rates of intentional and severe intentional incidents (violence) before intervention. After intervention, they remained comparable with regard to their demographic characteristics and rates and trends of intentional and severe intentional incidents. Their attitudes towards conflicts and violence, however, differed significantly, with the intervention group tending towards forgiving of offenders, and away from forceful response to provocation more than the control group. Both groups had post-intervention rate reductions in intentional incidents, and rate increments in severe intentional incidents. The pre-intervention incident rates in the intervention and control groups were 270/1000 and 370/1000 respectively, while the post-intervention rates were 190/1000 and 350/1000 respectively. Before intervention, seven in every 1000 incidents in the intervention group required school first aid or treatment in a health facility (severe incidents) as compared to 12 in every 1000 in the control group. These rates increased to 150/1000 and 160/1000 respectively after intervention. Conclusions The Mato-Oput 5 curriculum was effective in changing children’s attitudes towards conflict and violence: the intervention group tended towards forgiveness of offenders and non-forceful responses to provocation more than the control group. The rates and trends of pupil-perpetrated intentional (violent) and severe intentional incidents in the two groups of children, however, remained comparable.

In the early twentieth century, composers were fastidious about esthetics, therefore various kinds of changes are found on works of vocal music during this period. The richness and colorful changes in vocal music have also become a key feature in modern music. Numerous works with personal styles were produced. In this essay, three songs by the American composers Charles Edward Ives are chosen here as examples, namely “Night of Frost in May 1899” , “The Children’s Hour 1901” , and “Harpalus 1902 ” . This research is divided into six chapters. It discusses how American social changes influenced the musical creations of Ives. It later looks into the relationship between poems, lyrics, and the poets’ backgrounds, in an effort to comprehend the artistic conception of poems combined with music. Finally, I will use contemporary tape recording as references as well as my past experiences of vocal performances to give an interpretation to appropriate vocal performances.

Dissertação de mestrado em Estudos da Criança (área de especialização em Sociologia da Infância e Direitos
da Criança)Em virtude da crise humanitária na Venezuela, tem-se um fluxo venezuelano sem precedentes, sendo o Brasil um dos principais destinos para milhares de venezuelanos. Deixando seu país porque a vida ali se tornou insustentável, milhares começam uma jornada repleta de dificuldades e riscos que não cessam ao chegar ao país de destino. São inúmeros os desafios e as dificuldades que os colocam em uma situação de vulnerabilidade, fatores de risco estes que são ainda maiores no caso das crianças. Sabe-se que as crianças são o grupo geracional mais vulneráveis a riscos e violências sendo construído uma série de dispositivos legais internacionais com foco na sua proteção O presente estudo tem como foco as condições dos refugiados venezuelanos no Brasil, tendo como especial interesse as crianças ao fazer uma articulação da atuação da Cruz Vermelha aos refugiados venezuelanos na cidade de Campo Grande e o apoio prestado às crianças e às famílias. Foi feita uma pesquisa documental por meio de relatórios de organizações internacionais, legislações internacionais, bem como sobre os dados da Cruz Vermelha Mato Grosso do Sul das ações prestadas no apoio aos refugiados venezuelanos. Como referencial teórico temos a perspectiva da Sociologia da Infância que entende a criança como sujeito ativo de direitos, não como um receptáculo da cultura onde está inserida, mas com ação e poder de transformação. O foco da análise é os direitos das crianças e as suas condições de vida, entendendo que ser criança é fazer parte de uma categoria heterogênea, composta de sujeitos diversos e, portanto, há diversas formas de se viver a infância. Assim, buscamos compreender o que é ser criança na perspectiva de uma criança refugiada. Observa-se que apesar dos diversos mecanismos internacionais de proteção, o direito de participação das crianças é o que menos se encontra garantido, e que apesar dos esforços o lugar que as crianças ocupam ainda é sobretudo o da invisibilidade com um viés de proteção paternalista.
Due to the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, there is an unprecedented flow of Venezuelans being Brazil one of the main destinations for thousands of Venezuelans. Leaving their country because life there has become unsustainable, thousands begin a journey full of difficulties and risks that do not stop when they reach their destination country. There are countless challenges and difficulties that place them in a situation of vulnerability, risk factors that are even greater in the children’s case. It is known that children are the most vulnerable generational group to risks and violence, therefore are several international laws focused on their protection. The present study focuses on the conditions of Venezuelan refugees in Brazil, having children as a special interest and articulating the Red Cross's role with Venezuelan refugees in the city of Campo Grande, on the support provided to children and families. A documentary research was carried out, supported by reports from international organizations, international legislation, as well as data from the Mato Grosso do Sul Red Cross’s actions provided in support of Venezuelan refugees. As a theoretical reference, we have the perspective of the Sociology of Childhood, understanding the child as an active subject of rights, not as a receptacle of the culture in which it is inserted, but with action and power of transformation. The analysis focuses on children's rights and living conditions, understanding that being a child is a heterogeneous category, composed of several children and, therefore, of different ways of living each childhood. We seek to understand what it means to be a child in the perspective of a Venezuelan refugee child. It is observed that despite the various international mechanisms of protection, the children's right to participation is the least guaranteed, and that despite efforts, the place that children occupy is still, above all, that of invisibility with a bias of paternalistic protection.

Nutrition education is recognised as being of value in the prevention of malnutrition. However, in order for it to be effective, an in-depth
study of the community prior to the implementation of any nutrition education programme is essential. A study of the nutritional status of
pre-school children in Malukazi (an informal, unplanned Black township in the greater Durban area) together with background information on the household and the childminder was therefore undertaken, so that recommendations for a nutrition education programme in the area could
be made. The relationship between nutritional status and certain ecological variables was also studied in order to determine which of these, if any, was a significant factor in the development of malnutrition. Nutritional status was assessed by using anthropometric measures (height and weight) and dietary intake (24-hour recall and food frequency). Background information obtained included socio-economic status; food purchasing, preparation and storage patterns; intrafamilial pattern of eating; food taboos; clinic attendance; and the childminder's sage, educational level, body size, nutritional knowledge and attitude towards nutrition education. Information was obtained by means of face-to-face interviews using a single, trained interviewer. The incidence of low weight-for-age was relatively low and that of low height-for-age ("stunting") considerably higher (14,2% and 47,3% below the 3rd percentile respectively), indicating that chronic malnutrition is a serious problem in this community. Information on dietary intake showed that intakes of several nutrients notably energy, calcium, vitamin A, ascorbic acid and vitamin D were low for the study population. The percentage of total energy provided by the various macronutrients was however in line with recommendations, which tends to indicate that the greatest need is for an overall increase in food intake. Of the ecological variables studied, only two were found to be significantly associated with the incidence of malnutrition. These were the number of children cared for by the childminder (p=0,04) and whether or not the household grew their own vegetables (p=0,02). The degree of malnutrition found to exist in this community, together with the unsatisfactory level of nutritional knowledge of the childminders and their apparent willingness to learn more, revealed the desirability for further nutrition education in this area. Recommendations regarding future nutrition education programmes for this community based on the findings of the study are submitted.Thesis (M.Med.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1991.

This dissertation uses a feminist cultural materialist approach that draws on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Luce Irigaray to examine the neglected genre of postwar-Cold War American teen girl romance novels, which I call female junior novels. Written between 1942 and the late 1960s by authors such as Betty Cavanna, Maureen Daly, Anne Emery, Rosamond du Jardin, and Mary Stolz, these texts create a kind of hieroglyphic world, where possession of the right dress or the proper seat in the malt shop determines a girls place within an entrenched adolescent social hierarchy. Thus in the first chapter, I argue that girls adherence to consumer-based social codes ultimately constructs a semi-autonomous female society, still under the umbrella of patriarchy, but based on female desire and possessing its own logic.
This adolescent female society parallels the network of women who produced (authors, illustrators, editors) and distributed (librarians, critics) these texts to teenaged girls. Invisible because of its all-female composition, middlebrow status, and feminine control, yet self-governing for the same reasons, the network established a semi-autonomous space into which left-leaning authors could safely (if subtly) critique American social and foreign policies during the Cold War. Chapter Two examines the first generation of the network, including Anne Carroll Moore, Bertha Mahony, Louise Seaman, and May Massee, who helped to create the childrens publishing industry in America, while Chapter Three investigates the second generation, including Mabel Williams, Margaret Scoggin, and Ursula Nordstrom, who entrenched childrens and adolescent literature in publishing houses and library services.
In Chapter Four I explore the shifting concept of what constitutes quality within these texts, with an emphasis on the role of authors, illustrators, and critics in defining such value. Chapter Five investigates the use of female junior novels within the classroom, paying particular attention to the role of bibliotherapy, in which these texts were used to help teenagers solve their developmental tasks, as suggested by psychologist Robert J. Havighurst. A brief conclusion discusses the fall of the female junior novels and their network, while a coda addresses the republication of these texts today through the nostalgia press.
