Abstract:
Complementary feeding practices promote healthy eating habits and food preferences later in life. Little is known about how US pediatricians communicate infant feeding practices to caregivers or how caregivers respond to this information. The purpose of this study is to explore mothers’ experiences and perceptions of the complementary feeding recommendations they receive in primary care settings. English- and Spanish-speaking mothers of infants were recruited from Special Supplemental Nutrition for Women, Infants, and Children offices in Rhode Island, US, and snowball sampling. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted to investigate mothers’ discussions with pediatricians about complementary feeding and their overall impressions of wellness visits. Thematic analysis was informed by the Fundamentals of Care theoretical framework. The mean age of the sample (n = 13) was 30.5 years and 62% self-identified as Latina. Four themes emerged from the analysis: (1) wellness visits are mostly positive experiences, (2) not all infant feeding recommendations are easy to follow, (3) alternative sources of infant feeding recommendations can be just as helpful, and (4) there is room for improvement at wellness visits. Improving the content, delivery, and cultural relevance of infant feeding recommendations in primary care settings with more specific and tailored information may promote adherence to evidence-based practices.

Abstract:
Background The objective was to assess the feasibility of a prenatal yoga randomized controlled trial (RCT) for gestational low back pain (LBP), mobility, and maternal well-being. Methods In this pilot, women aged 18 to 39 years with uncomplicated pregnancies at 12 to 26 weeks were randomized, stratified by presence of LBP, to attend a weekly yoga class or a time-matched educational support group for 12 weeks. Sample size was based on anticipated enrollment of 2 subjects per month. Primary outcomes were measures of feasibility and acceptability. Secondary outcomes included LBP disability, pregnancy symptom burden, childbirth self-efficacy, instrumented gait, balance, and falls at baseline, every 4 weeks, and 6 weeks postpartum. Results From April 2015 to December 2015, 168 women were contacted and 115 (68%) were eligible. Twenty women enrolled (N = 11 yoga; N = 9 control; mean gestational age 20.2 weeks). Retention at 12 weeks was 81% in yoga and 77% in control. There were no yoga-related adverse events. Exploratory analyses show no differences in back pain disability between groups. Significant groups effects were found on biomechanical assessments, including percentage change in gait speed ( F = 4.4, P = .04), double support time ( F = 23.6, P < .01), instrumented timed-up-and-go ( F = 8.6, P < .01), and turn time ( F = 5.7, P = .02) suggesting clinically relevant improvements with yoga. Pregnancy Symptom Inventory (PSI) scores improved (13.1 point difference, 95% confidence interval, 5.1–21.1) at 12 weeks in yoga compared to control, adjusted for baseline gestational age. Conclusion Conducting an RCT of prenatal yoga to improve gestational LBP and maternal well-being is feasible and safe. While no differences in back pain were observed, biomechanical measures were sensitive assessments for evaluating gestational LBP-related mobility impairment and showed group differences. Additionally, the PSI showed significant differences in symptom burden over 12 weeks, supporting the ongoing claims that yoga improves a pregnant woman’s overall well-being.

Abstract:
Objective: Despite global efforts to decrease maternal death and stillbirths worldwide, maternal mortality rate and stillbirth remain high in the global south countries. These deaths often have immediate and long-lasting effects on midwives who care for these women.Methods: This paper explores the effects of maternal death and stillbirth on midwives in Namibia. A qualitative approach was adopted using a descriptive, exploratory and contextual design. The objective of this study was to explore the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) related feelings among midwives after exposure to maternal death and stillbirth. Data was collected using Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and individual interviews. Four FGDs and four individual interviews were conducted with midwives from two state hospitals in Windhoek. Midwives were purposively selected, and a total of 29 midwives participated in the study. Individual interviews and FGDs were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using content analysis and coded using Tech’s steps of open-coding.Results: The researcher identified one central theme with six sub-themes. The study showed that the midwives experienced PTSD related feelings such as insomnia and nightmares, recollection of the event (flashbacks), sense of self-blame, guilt, anger, shame, and being haunted/tormented.Conclusions: It is concluded that maternal death and fresh stillbirth can lead to PTSD effects on midwives, hence addressing these challenges. Therefore, the researchers recommend that hospitals in the Khomas Region develop and implement the wellness programmes in the workplace, such as the Employee Assistance Programme, to support midwives who experienced these traumatic events to prevent and manage these effects in the future. Equally, further research is needed to evaluate the impact of the wellness programme on midwives who experienced MDs and FSBs in Namibia.

Abstract:
Women face risks to their wellbeing during the perinatal period of pregnancy. However, there is a dearth of information on perinatal risk factors within the biopsychosocial paradigm. Emphasis is often placed on biological components associated with pregnancy and women’s health. However, psychological and social determinants of health are integral during the perinatal period, and mental wellness is often a determinant for positive maternal and neonatal health outcomes. This article reviews risk factors of perinatal wellness (e.g., physical and nutritional concerns, trauma, discrimination, adverse childhood events) and highlights protective factors for women in their perinatal period. Healthcare professionals can support perinatal health by focusing on culturally and contextually appropriate research and prevention, providing equal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare information and services, providing quality education and training for helping professionals, and supporting policies for positive sexual and reproductive women’s healthcare.

Abstract:
This article brings feminist literature on anxiety and wellness to bear on the responsibilities of mothers as they are represented in a series of popular editorial publications. It seeks to deepen the interdisciplinary dialogue between these theories of affect and theories of care work by examining how popular representations of maternal responsibility reflect a contemporary “affect of motherhood” and indicate specifically that mothers might be “coming undone” under the weight of a shared, political anxiety that they are encouraged to feel individually. It is argued that the newly complex and competing labours of mothers, and mothers’ complicity in and resistance to these labours, can only be understood in the context of public anxiety. It asks what is at stake for the most disenfranchised women when it comes to recognizing and resisting today’s intensified forms of maternal responsibility.

Abstract:
Approximately 35.5% of U.S. children ages 6-11 are overweight or obese. Obesity prevention programs in the school setting have produced mixed results, but interventions conducted in the afterschool setting may increase healthy eating (HE) and physical activity (PA) beyond efforts in a typical school day. Studies to date have shown some success in increasing PA in this setting. Moreover, 23% of children grades K-5 attend afterschool care programs. Treatment successes using a family-based approach warrants parental involvement in this setting, but few studies have examined the impact of parent inclusion. The CATCH Kids Club is a curriculum aimed to increase HE and PA in the afterschool care setting with children grades K-5. The NIH We Can! is a family-based intervention geared towards parents of children ages 8-13 and aims to assist families in increasing HE and PA as well as reducing screen time. The current study sought to understand 1) school community perceptions of child obesity, nutrition, and PA, 2) current efforts of the afterschool care program to promote HE and PA, and 3) how a combined student- and parent- focused intervention could be integrated into afterschool care. Researchers conducted focus groups and tested measurement instruments with afterschool personnel and parents of children in the afterschool care program. All personnel (N = 12; 83% Female; 92% Caucasian) agreed that greater afterschool care health promotion efforts could be made. Over half the sample (58%) described afterschool snacks as “not very healthy” or “not at all healthy” and placed the average amount of daily PA at 1 hour. Barriers to healthy habits included mandates on individually wrapped snack purchases and space available for PA. Personnel demonstrated interest in learning the CATCH curriculum. However, personnel were concerned about amount of staff needed to deliver the program, effects of varying attendance levels of students, and parent participation due to busy schedules. Results revealed that parents (N = 8; 75% female; 100% Caucasian) had little knowledge of what occurred during the afterschool care program including types of snacks provided and amount of PA received. All parents were supportive of the implementation of CATCH Kids Club, and all expressed interest in participating in the We Can! sessions. Parents reported preference for short (30-45 minute), bimonthly sessions occurring upon child pick-up. Results suggest that delivering 2012 Appalachian Student Research Forum Page 81 CATCH Kids Club and the NIH We Can! curricula in the afterschool setting would be of interest to both personnel and parents and would be feasible if time-limited and convenient. These findings will contribute to the development of an afterschool care program pilot intervention, Wellness Partners, directed at both students 5-11 years of age and their parents using modified CATCH Kids Club and NIH We Can! curricula. This cluster randomized controlled pilot study utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies will provide preliminary data to further refine and conduct a fully-powered, large scale trial of the intervention’s efficacy in preventing obesity

Abstract:
BACKGROUND School‐based interventions hold promise for child obesity prevention. Implemented as a part of the Winning With Wellness obesity prevention project, the “Go Slow Whoa” meal pattern (GSW) was designed to promote healthier foods in school cafeterias. This investigation determined perceived program effectiveness and impact on student's food purchases. METHODS A mixed method design was used, including focus groups with cafeteria staff (CS), quantitative analysis of CS and teacher surveys, and pre‐post analysis of cafeteria sales. A total of 37 CS and 131 teachers from 7 schools in northeast Tennessee participated. RESULTS CS recognized the important role of school nutrition services in influencing student choices, yet perceived lack of administrative support for cafeteria‐based interventions and minimal interaction with teachers were barriers. CS also believed that students choose less nutritious options due to family influence. Cafeteria sales indicated that changes were made in menu planning and production, yet students' choices improved minimally. Teachers expressed moderate levels of confidence in GSW as influential in children's dietary habits. CONCLUSIONS Successful implementation of school‐based nutrition programs requires supportive policies, administrators, and teachers. CS should be included in program implementation efforts and the role of school nutrition services should be maximized.

Abstract:
Abstract Adversity in childhood negatively impacts health and wellness across the life span. Infants across all gestational ages requiring newborn intensive care are exposed to a myriad of early adverse experiences ranging from painful and stressful procedures to sleep fragmentation, social isolation, and maternal separation. For the family, neonatal intensive care unit hospitalization has been described as a traumatic event that shatters hopes, dreams, and expectations for parenthood. Acknowledging the nature of traumatic experiences endured by infants, families, and clinicians within the setting of intensive critical care assists in identifying and developing strategies aimed at reducing traumatization and re-traumatization while creating effective compassionate caring encounters. Trauma-informed developmental care invites practitioners to move past procedure-driven practices and create a culture of care that focuses on the human experience. This requires a shift in mindset, intention, and language.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the current notion of well-being utilized in the mainstream economics, which is based on the utilitarian philosophy. The analysis focuses on the alternative proposals to expand beyond the existing framework, such as Easterlin’s paradox, multidimensional indexes of well-being, capabilities approach, and the cosmovision of the indigenous traditions. The chapter first explores the main definition of happiness and equilibrium of ancient Greek philosophers. Secondly, the chapter investigates the mainstream corpus of Economics with the Utilitarianism as a moral core. Many contradictions and inconsistencies in the implementation of the notion of well-being are unfolded. Thirdly, key proposals to revolutionize the notion are introduced. Given the sociological and environmental problems the Anthropocene has caused, and these ideas could lead to original and inspiring solutions.

Abstract:
Health care permeates American society. The history of American medicine embodies three main trends: the melding of three separate ancestral traditions, landscape change, and personal choice. Hutchinson explores these three main trends of American medicine through the analysis of several historic narratives and materials from the eastern United States between 1600 and 1950 that pertain to the growth and development of American health care. The road to American wellness has been a long one, marked by the difficult balance between care provided by professionals and self-administered cures.

This chapter reviews the evidence that pornography can have a positive influence on individual’s sexual wellness, mental health, relationships, body acceptance, self-esteem, sexual knowledge, increase safer sex behavior, and self-acceptance in gay, lesbian, bisexual and other sexual minority individuals. For some people there are undoubtedly benefits of having access to erotic material, viewing pornography, and using pornography in the context of their relationship or for masturbation. And yet: this should not be misconstrued as conclusive evidence that “porn is good” or that we have no reason for continuing to investigate its potential harms. The research that finds that there are selected benefits of some pornography use by some people highlights the need for public health, public policy and other professionals to resist the tendency to oversimplify.

Full text
Abstract:
Elaeis guineensis (oil palm) is one of the most economical perennial oil crops for its valuable oil-producing fruits in tropical regions such as West Africa and South-East Asia. During oil extraction process, these fruits are usually stripped from the fruit bunches leaving behind empty bunches to be discarded as residues. Thus, empty fruit bunches (EFB) of Elaeis guineensis are usually considered as waste in the oil palm industry. The abundance of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) has created enormous environmental issue, ranging from fouling, attraction of pests, greenhouse gas emissions to soil acidification, thus posing very serious threats to humans and the environment. Globally, in 2014 alone, over 22.4 million tons of EFB were estimated to have been produced. Therefore, exploring eco-friendly disposal methods and productive utilisation of oil palm EFB as alternative fibrous material for papermaking becomes imperative in converting waste to wealth, and initiating environmental wellness. Elaeis guineensis empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibre on the average measures 0.99 μm in length, while the fibre diameter and cell wall thickness are 19.1 μm and 3.38 μm respectively. Fibres of EFB are of ligno-cellulosic materials, consisting on the average of an estimated cellulosic content of 30–50%, 15–35% of hemicelluloses and the lignin constituting about 20–30% of extractive-free fibre. The rich cellulose base of EFB fibre makes Elaeis guineensis a good potential resource for papermaking furnish moreso that the pulp and paper industry is often referred to as the cellulose industry. Every 5 tons of EFB gives 1 ton of pulp for papermaking. This book chapter will therefore attempt to examine the fibre morphological characteristics of oil palm empty fruit bunch, the chemical properties of EFB fibre, papermaking potentials of empty fruit bunches and ultimately their impact on the environment.

Abstract:
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases have seriously impacted human wellness for the past few decades, specifically in developing countries, due to the unavailability of successful treatment. Due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier transport of drug and treatment of CNS disorders has become difficult. Nanoscale materials like Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) offer a possible therapeutic strategy for treating brain diseases like Alzheimer’s, Frontotemporal dementia, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. After being functionalized with active targeting ligands, SeNPs are versatile and competent in conveying combinations of cargoes to certain targets. We shall pay close attention to the primarily targeted therapies for SeNPs in CNS diseases. The objective of this paper was to highlight new developments in the exploration of SeNP formation and their potential applications in the management of CNS diseases. Furthermore, we also discussed the mechanisms underlying management of CNS disease, several therapeutic potentials for SeNPs, and the results of their preclinical research using diverse animal models. These methods might lead to better clinical and diagnostic results.

Abstract:
Sustainable design-centered manufacturing (SDM) is a competitive advantage for new product development. In this research, we determine the SDM factors for Polylactic Acid (PLA) production from cradle to gate. PLA is a mainstream material for bioprinting. We utilize a holistic method to determine the most sensitive and significant sustainability factors among economic, environmental, and social pillars, by adopting ISO 14040 and 14044 frameworks, life cycle cost analysis, and regression analysis methods. The results show that three major sustainability impact factors are profit, water consumption, and health and wellness effects, and the corresponding strategies are proposed. As a result, SDM can help increase profitability, create positive social impacts, reduce waste of resources, and utilize resources with efficiency.

Abstract:
The importance of independent recreational practice for student-athletes is increasing in today’s environment. Therefore, it’s appropriate to prepare relevant recommendations for students undergoing heavy physical loads. The study was mainly aimed at the elaboration of the content of the Health Code for athlete students to render it as a component and method of implementing a self-health system. The theoretical and empirical methods applied during the implementation of the study were as follows: theoretic-comparative analysis, summarisation of relevant data from scientific-methodological publications on physiology, physical culture and sports, oriental medicine, observations, tests, mathematical statistics methods. The study used systemic and axiological approaches of a general scientific level of methodology. The Student-Athlete Health Code consists of recommendations for selecting the means of restoring performance and improving the functional state of the student-athlete body during an educational and training day. This is a set of personal health improvement rules prepared on the basis of modern scientifically reasoned data on hygiene and valeology. The Code’s programme material includes paramedical signs of the optimal functional condition and premorbid status; the authors’ recommendations on wellness devices, health monitoring tests and immune resistance; a brief description of wellness techniques, methods and recipes; express methods of reflexology and minimisation of fatigue and immunity stimulation; illustrative wellness informative tips and recommended literature. The solutions were tested in the educational and training process of students at the Russian State University of Physical Culture, Sport, Youth and Tourism, where 91.57 % of respondents mentioned benefits in their personal health after having followed the recommendations presented in the Health Code.

Abstract:
Online learning is a challenge, a unique experience and an opportunity for self-reflection and progress for both students and teachers. The virtual teaching experience brings changes on several levels, among which we mention: study conditions, teaching materials, communication between colleagues and between students and teacher, feedback given to students. There are various factors that may influence the effectiveness of online learning, one of the most important being the level of motivation that teachers and students have in the teaching-learning process. According to Ryan & Deci [8], regardless of the nature of the teaching environment, face to face or online, teachers have to stimulate the students' motivation for learning by supporting their three fundamental psychological needs: competence, autonomy and relatedness. Competence is related to feeling capable of developing oneself and succeeding. Autonomy entails a sense of initiative and responsibility for one's own actions. Relatedness has to do with a sense of belonging and connection. These needs are met if the educational setting is well-structured, if it places emphasis on the students' values and interests and consolidates their relationships with peers and teachers. If any of these conditions is undermined, the students' psychological wellness is affected and, therefore, their motivation for learning decreases. In order for teachers to be able to ensure a supportive learning context in which students can thrive, their basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness have to be met as well. In other words, motivated teachers will lead to motivated students. In light of these characteristics of the virtual educational environment and of the teacher's mission of creating a need-supportive context of development for students, we analyze a particular teaching-learning situation we have experienced as teachers, that of the online English for Professional Communication seminar, during the Covid-19 pandemic. We discuss the benefits and challenges of combining synchronous and asynchronous modes of teaching, our strategies to stimulate the students' intrinsic motivation and the outcome of our actions meant to attain this goal.

Abstract:
Abstract Recently digital pipeline system has been introduced, advocating the advantages on the simplification of pipeline monitoring, elimination of inspection activities as well as the accessibility of information especially on the wellness of the pipeline(s). For successful implementation of digital pipeline system, availability of Internet of things (IoT); which is the network of physical objects "things" that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet, is a must. The problems is IoT is rare or even non-existence for pipelines that have been there before 2005. Despite there are many oil and gas operators who have well advanced in control and monitoring their offshore facilities, they mostly monitor the only pressures and shutdown system. Other than that existing equipment in offshore facilities are often analogue and disconnected. A study on data retrieval feasibility to provide information to develop digital pipeline network for brown field facility arrived with very costly equipment installation. This is due the absent off communication system (DCS) and online measuring equipment (such as flow meter, pressure gauge and temperature sensor) at the required location of many offshore facility. This paper will discuss the feasibility and urgency of implementing of Digital Pipeline Network in offshore facilities most importantly at the existing and aging facilities. It will put across the importance of data retrieval, the required additional equipment and the facility for communication system as well as the assessment of installation hurdles at the aging facilities and the consequential cost requirement. Comprehensive data retrieval at brown field facilities can be achieved through rationalization between automated digital data online reading by installation of wireless IoT system (for equipment to measure pressure, flowrate and temperature) complimented with the existing communication system, manual data retrieval by site visit and network software analysis in order to reduce the material and installation cost while keeping the objectives intact. Pipeline OPEX will be subsequently reduced once AI based technology such as predictive and prescriptive assessment for effective pipeline monitoring and integrity management can be implemented and hence inspection and maintenance program for pipeline(s) can be optimized.
