Abstract:
Recent criticism putting the market back in Christina Rossetti's ''Goblin Market'' (1862) makes, and leaves, space for consideration of the poem's relation to marketing-as-advertising. Written to be read by adults in silence as if out loud to children, the poem trades in the mystique of a virtual orality that is structurally analogous to its goblin merchants' mystification, through promotional language, of both the nature of their retail business and the origins of the produce they sell. The virtual-oral mode of the poem creates rich opportunities for local wordplay to highlight that mystification at a juncture in economic history when with new subtlety and aggressiveness a burgeoning advertising business was transforming Victorian consumerism. The miracle of a sister's redemption from goblin taste stakes on Rossetti's Christian belief her congruent faith as a poet: that a modern tongue may be redeemed by art, in spite of art's collusion with the forces by which it must circulate to earn a hearing.

Abstract:
The present article aims to shed light on exploring the issue of bullying in preschool children, with a special focus on early forms of anti-social and aggressive behaviour and suggestions about the role of the school, based on the presentation of prevention and intervention programmes in preschool education settings. The most typical forms of bullying in preschool education settings are physical aggressiveness, social exclusion and rumor spreading. Most studies indicate that physical aggressiveness is prevalent in boys, while relational and verbal aggressiveness is prevalent in girls. The role of preschool educators is crucial, as they need to learn to identify and manage early forms of aggressiveness. Therefore, their training is imperative, as they need to carefully evaluate each incident, while creating a positive learning environment and applying strategies for bullying prevention and intervention.

Abstract:
We investigated how aggression resulting from playing violent computer games varies by gender and trait aggressiveness level. In Study 1, 220 children rated 2 video games in terms of pleasantness, excitement, violent content, violent images, fear, interest, and reality. Results indicated that Virtual Cop2 and Fight Landlord games were perceived as violent and nonviolent, respectively. In Study 2, 240 different children responded to the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire, played either Virtual Cop2 or Fight Landlord, and completed a semantic classification task involving rating whether 60 words were aggressive or nonaggressive. Results showed that boys, but not girls, displayed stronger aggression after playing Virtual Cop2, compared to Fight Landlord. Further, children with high trait aggressiveness exhibited strong aggression after playing Virtual Cop2, whereas those with moderate or low trait aggressiveness did not. Overall, our results indicate that gender and trait aggressiveness both affect aggression among children who play violent video games.

Abstract:
The present study explored the relationships among levels of aggressiveness, assertiveness, and submissiveness and (1) alternative-thinking ability, (2) judgments of response alternatives on a variety of indices including 'evaluative' and 'potency' dimensions, and (3) consequential thinking, for 188 fourth-sixth grade children. The five best predictors of aggressiveness, of assertiveness, and of submissiveness for both boys and girls represented combinations of alternative-thinking, consequential-thinking, and evaluative-judgment dimensions. The clinical implications of these findings for treating aggressive and submissive children are discussed.

Abstract:
The relationship of 102 fifth and sixth graders' judgments of fairness with their academic and social competence and aggressiveness was studied. Children were given self-report and peer-nomination inventories measuring academic competence, social competence, and aggressiveness at a single point in time at the public school they attended. These measures were related to children's prediction of fairness on a distributive justice measure. Children who saw themselves as academically and socially competent scored higher on the distributive justice measure. Children whose peers saw them as less academically competent and more aggressive scored lower on the distributive justice measure. Analyses showed an association between children's academic competence, social competence, and aggressiveness scores and their scores on judgments of fairness.

Abstract:
This study aims to determine the effect of storytelling on the aggressiveness of Madurese ethnic preschool children. This study uses an experimental research approach. The experimental design used was a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The research location is a Kindergarten in Bangkalan, with 20 preschool children in grade A and B as subjects. This study uses a measurement instrument in the form of an Aggressiveness Scale which is filled in based on observations and self-reports of children from parents. The collected data were tested using the non-parametric difference test, Wilcoxon. The results of this study were viewed from the aspect of aggressive behavior, namely: 1) physical aggression; 2) Verbal aggressive; and 3) Passive aggression. From the test results it was found that the experimental group experienced a decline and the untreated control group did not experience a decrease, so it can be said that the hypothesis in this study was accepted. Thus it can be concluded that storytelling can reduce the aggressiveness of Madurese ethnic preschoolers

Abstract:
Motherhood is by many, especially women, one of the greatest experiences in life. The ultimate goal that women, if not all than many, should achieve. Nowadays, we are flooded with help books, websites, guides that lead us through pregnancy and then assist us during the first months of our new born baby. This blessed state seems to be cherished now above all, however, this view was not always the same. Throughout history we can see many women for whom maternity was not meant to be and still they were able to fulfil their life-time goals devoting themselves to other areas of life. For some, maternity was rather a political aspect that would secure the future of the nation. In my article I will focus on the aspect of motherhood through the eyes of Queen Victoria for whom, indeed, maternity was rather an unwelcomed addition to her royal life. I will discuss her own rigid upbringing which can help to understand her later attitude towards her own children. The trend, where there were no proper roles ascribed to parents in terms of their influence on their children, was predominant in the 19th century and based on this we can see how important it was for character creation

Abstract:
The cocirculation in several parts of the world of influenza viruses B/Yamagata/16/88 and B/Victoria/2/87, which are genetically and antigenically divergent, has prompted the question of whether immunization with one viral antigen is sufficient for protection against both strains. Twenty-three high-risk infants and young children were immunized with a commercial trivalent influenza vaccine containing the antigens of influenza virus B/Yamagata/16/88. When antibodies against influenza viruses B/Yamagata/16/88 and B/Victoria/2/87 were determined, increases developed uniformly to both in the sera of primed children previously exposed to influenza virus B/Victoria/2/87 by immunization or infection. Antibodies against B/Yamagata/16/88 developed in the sera of unprimed children with titers similar to those of the primed children. However, antibodies to B/ Victoria/2/87 were not detected in the sera of the unprimed children. These data suggest that children with out appropriate immunologic priming may not be protected against an infection with a B/Victoria/2/87 strain after vaccination with a B/Yamagata/16/88 strain. Immunization with more than one influenza B virus strain may be desirable in some high-risk pediatric patients if divergent influenza B viruses circulate.

Abstract:
Our purpose in this intervention was to promote prosociality and to reduce the aggressiveness risk between primary and preschool students by implementing music therapy sessions. A quasi experimental study was adopted, considering pre-test and pos-test, as part of a model program of early prevention of aggressiveness at a secondary level focused on a specific group of children. Eighteen subjects between 5 and 9 years old were divided into three groups. The first group received the whole music therapy intervention (30 sessions), the second group received an incomplete music therapy treatment (15 sessions) and the third group or control group didnt get any intervention. Results showed that music therapy had significant effects on direct aggressiveness in the experimental groups one and two, whereas it didnt have any important result on indirect aggressiveness for the same groups. In reference to prosociality, music therapy intervention only affected the second group. In this specific case we concluded that music therapy represents an efficient secondary prevention strategy to reduce the direct aggressiveness risk.

Abstract:
Background. Thyroid carcinoma is a relatively rare pediatric pathology, comprising around 3% of all childhood tumors. We investigated parameters of tumor aggressiveness, multicentricity, and locoregional metastatic spread patterns in patients up to 18 years of age and made comparison with the older group. All patients were operated upon with total thyroidectomy, with or without lymph-node neck dissection.Results. Patients with papillary carcinoma present with more advanced stage, larger primary tumor, and more commonly present with palpable thyroid and/or neck node. Overall, papillary cancer demonstrated pathological aggressiveness as defined by our criteria in 60%, multicentricity in 40%, and locoregional metastatic foci in 77% of cases. Multicentric tumor foci in both thyroid lobes and tumor aggressiveness were identified as a risk factor for metastatic development.Conclusion. By observing clinicopathological parameters, we demonstrated that papillary thyroid cancer behaves more aggressively in the younger group. We recommend total thyroidectomy with careful intraoperative exploration of thyroid bed and lateral neck in search for possible metastatic spread. In case of positive findings, it is obligatory to perform a standard neck dissection, keeping in mind that neck lymphonodes are primary site of locoregional recurrence. With meticulous attention to technical aspects of operation, perioperative morbidity should be minimal.

Abstract:
Previous studies based on a variety of behaviour, temperament, and personality measures identified a pattern of over‐activity, impulsiveness, emotional instability, and aggressiveness in children who are prone to accidents. The present study is the first to study accident‐prone children by means of a comprehensive test for the assessment of the Five Factor model (Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC) (Mervielde & De Fruyt, 1999). 118 children, aged 6–15 years, who were hospitalized due to an accident‐related injury, were contrasted with 184 school‐children of the same age. Lower socio‐economic status was under‐represented in both groups. Children who were exposed to accidents had higher scores on the facets of energy, optimism, and non‐shyness (Extraversion domain), and lower scores on the facets of concentration and achievement striving (Conscientiousness domain). There was no indication of higher aggressiveness, impulsiveness, or emotional instability in the group exposed to accidents, and there were no gender‐by‐accident interactions. Results suggest that there is a relatively benign pattern of personality traits that is related to greater accident hazard in children. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract:
The rapid increase in cases of cybervictimization amongst children has led researchers to examine the psychoemotional factors related to cyberbullying behavior, in an attempt to prevent and minimize its impact. The objective of this study was to establish and contrast the fit of an explanatory model on cybervictimization based on its relationship with self-concept, aggressiveness, and school anxiety using a structural equations analysis. A total of 542 Spanish students aged 10–12 (M age = 10.97; SD = 0.74) completed a battery of questionnaires. An adjusted structural equations model was obtained (χ2 = 512.23; df = 99; p < 0.001; CFI = 0.928; NFI = 0.91; IFI = 0.928; RMSEA = 0.078). A direct and negative relationship was obtained between cybervictimization and self-concept and between cybervictimization and school anxiety. In addition, a direct and positive relationship was found between aggressiveness and self-concept and between aggressiveness and school anxiety. Indirect relationships were not found between the variables. The study’s findings demonstrate that the variables of self-concept and school anxiety are directly related to cybervictimization and that the improved psychoemotional adjustment of the youngest students may help to prevent the risk of being victimized over the Internet.

Abstract:
Abstract Craniopharyngiomas (CP) are rare tumors that may be locally aggressive. The presence of functional estrogen receptors (ER) has been reported in CP and might be related to risk of recurrence. Our aim is to ascertain if the expression estrogen and progesterone receptor (PR) might be associated with to recurrence in CP. Material and Methods: Descriptive retrospective observational study of patients with confirmed histology of CP and tissue sample available admitted to Virgen Del Rocio University Hospital (Seville, Spain) from January 1967 to October 2020 were included. Estrogen and progesterone receptor expression was analyzed by Immunohistochemistry. Ki-67 levels were also analyzed. Two CP groups were considereded according to Ki67 levels: Group A (Ki67&lt;10%) and group B (Ki67&gt;10%). As all variables followed a non-parametric distribution, U Mann Whitney, Chi-Square, and Z-test with Benjamini-Hochberg correction were used when needed. Results: Our study population includes 80 patients (46 male and 34 female), with a median age at diagnosis of 34 years [10-50.00]. Twenty-six patients were under 18 years old (children) with a median age of 7 years [4.5-10.00], and 54 were adults (aged 18 and above) with a median age of 45 years [33-58.50]. Our data shows higher recurrence rates when Ki67 levels staining were higher than 10%: 8/14 (57.2%) in comparison with Ki67&lt;10% (6/14, 42.9%, p=0.018). In children we found 6 samples with Ki67&lt;10% and 6 samples with Ki67 &gt;10%; recurrences were observed in 2/6 (33,3%) in the first group and in 6/6 (100%) in the second, respectively (p= 0,199). In adults, we found 9 and 3 patients for high and low Ki67 levels, respectively. Recurrences were observed in 4/9 (44,4%) in the group A and in 2/3 (66,7%) in the group B, respectively (p= 0,28). There were no differences between age groups. In patients with positive ER, we observed an increased rate of recurrence: 12/23 (52.17%) versus 2/13 (15,38%) in patients with negative ER stain but it was no significant. (p=0,21). No association between PR and recurrence was observed. Conclusions: In our series, patients with CP with high Ki67 levels are more likely to recur. No clear association between ER, PR expression and recurrence was observed. These findings support the use of Ki67 as a marker of recurrence in CP.

Abstract:
Learning achievement which is influenced by the emotional level and learning activities of students makes researchers want to examine whether there is a relationship between aggressiveness and student achievement. There are negative and positive influences that arise at school, not all children who enter school are of good character, on the other hand there are children who attend school who come from families who pay less attention to children's interests in learning which often affect other friends. In education, aggressive behavior not only harms others but also harms oneself. This behavior can lead to bad character of students, especially in the subject of Islamic Religious Education that has been learned about the morals of fellow friends. The results showed a strong suspicion that there was a negative relationship between student aggressiveness and cognitive achievement, so it could be concluded that the higher the student's aggressiveness the lower the student's cognitive achievement

For many children placement is still commonly used as a solution it is easier to place a child than to promote change within many multi-deficit families.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the prevalence of aggressive behaviour among children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) and to demonstrate a possible link with moral judgement. Design/methodology/approach This study was carried out using two scales on a sample of 60 young people with ID in specialized schools. The first scale was “Behavior Problems Inventory-Short Form” (Rojahn et al., 2012) used to assess the frequency of aggressive behaviour and the second involved several scenarios about social situations of aggressiveness to assess moral judgement. Findings The main findings indicate that children and adolescents with ID gave more importance to the factor “consequences” than to that of “intent”. Moreover, there was a link between moral judgement and aggressive behaviour. Indeed, aggressive people found it harder to take into account the other’s point of view. Regarding moral judgement, they gave greater importance to the “consequences” factor than non-aggressive people. Originality/value The study aimed to establish, for the first time, a link between aggressiveness and moral judgement (blame) in ID (Anderson, 1996). This study clearly provides useful information regarding public health for patients, professionals and families. The authors were able to measure a similar frequency of aggressive behaviour in both children and adolescents with ID. The authors also highlighted a link between these aggressive behaviours and moral judgement. This knowledge should enhance understanding of manifestations of aggressiveness in this population, and improve diagnostic assessment. It should also help define appropriate directions for educational interventions to prevent the onset of aggressive behaviour or delinquency.

Abstract:
The aggressiveness issue among adolescents affects the whole society, arouses the scientific and practical interest of researchers and the deep concern of teachers and parents. However, attempts to explain the aggressive actions of young people are hampered by the fact that not only in everyday consciousness but also in many theoretical concepts, the phenomenon of aggression receives very contradictory interpretations, interfering with both its understanding and the possibility of influencing aggressiveness. The methodological basis for the study of student-athletes and children not involved in sports to determine the presence, type and level of aggressiveness of a student is methods of observation, expert assessments and questionnaires. Signs of aggression in a child: often loses control of himself; often argues, swears with adults; often refuses to follow the rules; often irritates people on purpose; often blames others for their mistakes; often gets angry and refuses to do anything; often envious, vindictive; sensitive, reacts very quickly to various actions of others (children and adults), which often irritate them. The method of expert assessments allows to determine the child’s aggression level in the monitoring process by various experts. Verbal methods involve the use of questionnaires, questionnaires, personality tests. Among the latter, the most popular is the Buss–Durkee Hostility Inventory, Freiburg Personality Inventory. Aggressiveness as a personality trait is manifested in all students, 10 out of 18 non-athletes (14–15 years old) are more aggressive and 6 out of 12 (11–12 years old) are equally aggressive athletes. The hostility level (aggression as an act of behavior) is largely predominant in non-athletes (14–15 years old), and also manifests itself noticeably at the age of 11–12 years. Students who do not play sports, in participating in school competitions as part of a class team, experience the tragedy of losing, unsuccessful performance, as a result, hostility arises in the post-competition period during everyday communication with peers, sometimes turning into a fight.

Abstract:
Abstract Background The 2019–2020 influenza season was characterized by early onset with B/Victoria followed by A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses. Emergence of new B/Victoria viruses raised concerns about possible vaccine mismatch. We estimated vaccine effectiveness (VE) against influenza-associated hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits among children in the United States. Methods We assessed VE among children aged 6 months–17 years with acute respiratory illness and ≤10 days of symptoms enrolled at 7 pediatric medical centers in the New Vaccine Surveillance Network. Combined midturbinate/throat swabs were tested for influenza virus using molecular assays. Vaccination history was collected from parental report, state immunization information systems, and/or provider records. We estimated VE from a test-negative design using logistic regression to compare odds of vaccination among children testing positive vs negative for influenza. Results Among 2029 inpatients, 335 (17%) were influenza positive: 37% with influenza B/Victoria alone and 44% with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 alone. VE was 62% (95% confidence interval [CI], 52%–71%) for influenza-related hospitalizations, 54% (95% CI, 33%–69%) for B/Victoria viruses, and 64% (95% CI, 49%–75%) for A(H1N1)pdm09. Among 2102 ED patients, 671 (32%) were influenza positive: 47% with influenza B/Victoria alone and 42% with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 alone. VE was 56% (95% CI, 46%–65%) for an influenza-related ED visit, 55% (95% CI, 40%–66%) for B/Victoria viruses, and 53% (95% CI, 37%–65%) for A(H1N1)pdm09. Conclusions Influenza vaccination provided significant protection against laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations and ED visits associated with the 2 predominantly circulating influenza viruses among children, including against the emerging B/Victoria virus subclade.

Abstract:
В настоящее время перед педагогом стоит не легкая задача, ведь система образования должнане только обучать детей, но и сохранить то, что у них уже есть - физическое и психологическое здоровье.Психическое состояние детей младшего школьного возраста очень нестабильное и зачастую детипроявляют агрессию по отношению к одноклассникам и педагогу. Данная особенность может появится удетей в процессе обучения, а так же и до поступления в первый класс. Что в целом негативно влияет надисциплину и эффективность учебного процесса. Агрессия это необычно организованный процесс, длявыполнения определённой функции, а агрессивность является сложным компонентом являющимсячастью более сложной системы психики человека. Взрослые люди не желают сталкиваться с агрессиейтем более от детей, она всегда вызывает негативные эмоции, значительно усложняет общение и жизньв целом. Воспитать детей с агрессивным поведением очень сложно и необходимо для этого потратитьмного времени и сил. Помимо этого, агрессия наносит ущерб и материальному миру. В данной статьерассматривается профилактика и снижения агрессивности детей младшего школьного возраста,приведены методы и приёмы, используемые на практике. Так же приведены результаты диагностикиучеников 2 класса МБОУ СОШ №15 города Нерюнгри, на выявления уровня агрессивности детей. Currently, the teacher faces a difficult task, because the education system should not only teachchildren, but also preserve what they already have - physical and psychological health. The mental state ofprimary school children is very unstable and often children show aggression towards classmates and theteacher. This feature may appear in children during the learning process, as well as before entering the firstgrade. Which in general negatively affects the discipline and effectiveness of the educational process.Aggression is an unusually organized process to perform a certain function, and aggressiveness is a complexcomponent that is part of a more complex system of the human psyche. Adults do not want to face aggression,especially from children, it always causes negative emotions, significantly complicates communication and lifein general. It is very difficult to raise children with aggressive behavior and it is necessary to spend a lot of timeand effort for this. In addition, aggression also damages the material world. This article discusses the preventionand reduction of aggressiveness of primary school children, provides methods and techniques used in practice.The results of diagnostics of pupils of the 2nd grade of MBOU secondary school No. 15 of the city of Neryungriare also presented, to identify the level of aggressiveness of children.

Abstract:
This study tested two hypotheses involving the use of sport spectating as an opportunity to spend time with one's family. First, it was hypothesized that scores on Family Motivation would be higher for fans who were married or had children than for unmarried fans without children. Second, it was predicted that among sport fans who were married or had children, those preferring a Nonaggressive sport would report higher scores on Family Motivation than those preferring an Aggressive sport. Analysis confirmed the first hypothesis while refuting the second.

Abstract:
Aggressiveness is one of the most critical problems in adolescents in their relationships with other people. Various factors that influence adolescent aggressiveness include effective parent- adolescent communication and self-control. However, there is still limited research examining the effect of effective parent-adolescent communication on adolescent aggressive behavior, especially mediated by self-control. This study aimed to determine the effect of effective parent-adolescent communication on adolescent aggressiveness mediated by self-control. The participants of this study were 228 high school students, middle adolescence (15-18 years). Data were collected using the Parent-Adolescent Effective Communication Scale, Aggressiveness Scale, and Self-Control Scale. The hypotheses were tested using mediation analysis using the JASP statistical program. The results showed that self-control partially mediated the relationship between effective parent-adolescent communication on adolesent aggressiveness. Furthermore, parents’ communication with adolescent girls was more likely to be open than with boys. These results can be a reinforcement that effective parent-adolescent communication plays an important role in the development of a child from an early age because it supports the development of self-control and behavior of children.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to determine where Aboriginal people living in Victoria attend public oral health services; whether they access Aboriginal-specific or mainstream services; and the gap between dental caries (tooth decay) experience in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. Analysis was undertaken on routinely collected clinical data for Aboriginal patients attending Victorian public oral health services and the distribution of Aboriginal population across Victoria. Approximately 27% of Aboriginal people attended public oral health services in Victoria across a 2-year period, with approximately one in five of those accessing care at Aboriginal-specific clinics. In regional Victoria, 6-year-old Aboriginal children had significantly higher levels of dental caries than 6-year-old non-Aboriginal children. There was no significant difference in other age groups. This study is the first to report where Aboriginal people access public oral health care in Victoria and the disparity in disease between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal users of the Victorian public oral healthcare system. Aboriginal people largely accessed mainstream public oral healthcare clinics highlighting the importance for culturally appropriate services and prevention programs to be provided across the entire public oral healthcare system. The findings will guide development of policy and models of care aimed at improving the oral health of Aboriginal people living in Victoria.

Abstract:
This article draws from data gathered for an Australian Research Council–funded study conducted in Victoria and New South Wales between 2011 and 2015, which examined how dependent children are responded to when their primary carer is imprisoned. In particular, this article specifically addresses a gap in knowledge by examining the current state of fathering programs in prison in Victoria. To do so, the views of 39 primary carer fathers incarcerated in Victoria are analysed. We argue that there is a distinct lack of support for fathers in prison, acting as a barrier towards maintaining father–child relationships. Findings indicate that 79% of the fathers in this study were never offered any parenting support services or programs. By clearly highlighting the state of fathering programs in prisons in Victoria, this article offers suggestions as to how best to facilitate the connection between incarcerated fathers and their children.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The Stroop paradigm evaluates susceptibility to interference and is sensitive to dysfunction in frontal lobes. Performance in the Stroop changes along the development. Despite its usefulness in research and clinical settings, there are few studies with Brazilian samples. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the performance and age effect on Stroop paradigm of Brazilian children. METHOD: A sample of 119 children, aged from 7 to 10 years, was submitted to the Victoria version of Stroop. RESULTS: The pattern of results observed was similar to that observed in foreign studies with adults and children. Younger children were overall slower than older ones (positive correlation between age and naming time). Also, younger children showed more susceptible to interference than older ones (negative correlation between age and number of errors for the maximal interference condition). CONCLUSION: There was an age effect explained in terms of developmental changes in information processing velocity and attention selectivity.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate whether differences in aggression-related behavioral problems occur between boys and girls at high risk for schizophrenia living in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. METHOD: Using the Child Behavior Checklist, we compared the prevalence of behavioral problems between genders for the offspring (6-18 years) of mothers with diagnosis of schizophrenia and a comparison group of children born to women with no severe mental disorders recruited at the gynecology outpatient clinic of the same hospital. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, Patient Edition was applied for the evaluation of diagnostic status of mothers. RESULTS: Male children of women with schizophrenia had a lower prevalence of aggressive behavior compared to females (4% vs. 36%; p = 0.005), whereas no gender differences regarding aggression were detected in the comparison group (24% vs. 32%; p = 0.53). Logistic regression analyses showed that male gender and being a child of women with schizophrenia interacted so as to favor lower prevalence of aggressive behavior (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: These findings reinforce the notion that behavioral gender differences related to schizophrenia are already detectable in childhood.

Abstract:
In 1985 the then Minister for Community Services (Victoria), the Hon. Caroline Hogg, announced a change of policy in relation to preschool services in Victoria; all children were to have a year of "kindergarten type experiences" in the year before school, and existing playgroups for two year olds were to be phased out, while two years of kindergarten for some children was to become the exception. This policy came about for two reasons; firstly, as a way of implementing the Cain Labor Government's policy of social justice and equity, and secondly as an attempt to be more financially accountable. While both these objectives, in hindsight, may have a somewhat hollow ring today, they brought great changes to the preschool programs of Victoria which had been established nearly a century before by voluntary organisations in response to inner city poverty and need. It meant that an effort would be made to ensure that children in isolated and/or rural pockets of Victoria were to be included in the sessional kindergarten program and that the traditional "four sessions of two and a half hours per week at a place called a kindergarten" might not be seen to be appropriate in terms of travelling distance involved for parents or children, or affordable in terms of the best use of a rapidly declining budget.

Objective: To know the status of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in children admitted in Pediatric ward of Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur. Study design: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Place and duration of study: Pediatric unit-1 Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur over a period of 2 months and 15 days. Material and methods: This study was conducted over 500 children admitted in children ward-1 of Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur. Children of 1-15 years of age were included in the study. The blood samples of these children were taken at the time of admission and serum was tested for HCV with ICT method and later on confirmed by ELISA. Children having HCV infection were tested for SGPT level. Different risk factors for transmission of HCV infection were also studied. Results: Out of 500 children 43 were HCV positive by ICT method. Out of these 43 ICT positive children 38 were confirmed by ELISA. In this way 7.6% children were found positive for HCV. In 23 cases (60.5%) SGPT was raised (>40). Statistically significant risk factors for transmission of HCV infection found in this study were past history of blood transfusion and history of injections in past. Conclusions: HCV infection is quite common in children. Safe blood transfusions and use of disposable and sterilized syringes is important for prevention of this infection.
