Demand and provision of school counselling in primary schools in Ireland

Unlike many European countries there is little provision of school-based counselling for children attending primary schools in the Republic of Ireland. Despite recent initiatives to promote psychological wellbeing in schools, significant numbers of children are presenting in school with significant mental health difficulties. To date, there has been no comprehensive attempt to capture the national landscape with regard to the extent of children's needs and the level of provision of counselling available. This study involved a mixed methods design using a national online survey with primary school principals (n=1282) to investigate the demand for and provision of school counselling for primary school children in Ireland. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five principals (n=5) and five school counsellors (n=5), where school-based counselling is available, to explore experiences of such provision. Findings from this current study indicate the limited provision of counselling with on-site services in existence in a small number of urban primary schools in Ireland. The current prevalence and complexity of presentations of children in terms of emotional needs has been revealed with findings indicating the difficulties teachers face in meeting these needs. Results show that the five most prevalent issues which children present with relate to general family issues (36.4%), behavioural related (18%), anxiety (13.2%), separation/marital/divorce-related issues (6.3%) and academic concerns (4.6%). The ad hoc nature of funding of the service is highlighted, necessitating principals to be proactive in securing funds to ensure a continuance of the service. The ad hoc nature of the referral process is also presented with findings indicating that children may self-refer or refer their peers to on-site counselling. Results also showed that the location of a counselling service in the school allows ease of access for children and parents to avail of a range of supports being provided by counsellors. The study has revealed the perceived benefits of on-site counselling on classroom dynamics with children returning to class calmer, more confident and better able to engage with learning. The presence of a counsellor on-site in primary schools has been cited by both principals and counsellors as a particular support for teachers both in terms of consultation about concerns in relation to a child, for specific training through mental health and well-being workshops and for the delivery of self-care programmes for staff. While there is no statutory provision for school-based counselling in primary schools in Ireland (Republic), findings suggest that schools are using resources creatively in an attempt to access private counselling. It is expected that the findings from this study, the first such study conducted in Ireland, will have important implications for the development of school counselling and will add to the research base.

The Interactive Use of Management Control Systems and Project Performance: An Empirical Examination of IT Projects

THE INTERACTIVE USE OF MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEMS AND PROJECT PERFORMANCE: AN EMPIRICAL EXAMINATION OF IT PROJECTS Farzana Asad Mir University of Guelph, 2019 Advisor: Dr. Davar Rezania Information technology (IT) projects are knowledge-intensive settings that involve specific management control challenges. Although the centrality of control systems is a recognized area in project management, the evidence regarding the relationship between the interactive use of project-level management control systems (MCS) and project performance is limited, and the findings are mixed. This study aims to understand the impact of the interactive use of project-level MCS on project performance in the context of IT projects. Drawing upon organizational learning theory and focusing on the mechanism of team learning behaviour, a study model is developed explaining how the interactive use of projectlevel MCS affects project performance. The contextual influence of the organizations’ emphasis on process accountability is also considered. Data was collected from a cross-sectional survey of 109 IT project managers working in Canadian and USA-based organizations. Using a hierarchical component reflective-formative measurement model in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), the analysis showed that the team learning behaviour partially mediates the relationship between the interactive use of project-level MCS and project performance. Moreover, the organization’s emphasis on process accountability moderates the relationship between the interactive use of project-level MCS and team learning behaviour. Results also showed a conditional indirect effect of the interactive use of project-level MCS on project performance with the effect being stronger under the conditions of higher emphasis on process accountability. This study makes several contributions. First, this study extends the domain of organizational learning theory by using it as a lens to explain new theoretical relationships. Second, it advances the project control literature by explaining the mechanisms through which the interactive use of project-level MCS impacts project performance. Third, it addresses the lack of empirical studies about the application of MCS frameworks at the project level. Fourth, this study applies the interactive use of MCS as a reflective-formative construct in-line with its theoretical definition. Additionally, a scale is developed to measure perceptions about the organization’s emphasis on process accountability. Finally, this study informs project managers on how to improve their project performance by focusing on their style of use of MCS and the learning behaviour of their teams.

Relationship of Socioeconomic Status with Exacerbation Frequency among Children with Asthma in Malaysia

Background: Less than 25% of asthmatic children are well controlled. Little is known about how parental socioeconomic status affects the level of control of their children suffering Asthma. This may contribute to the successfulness of universal coverage. Objective: To determine the relationship of socioeconomic status with exacerbation frequency among children with asthma in Malaysia. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 140 children with asthma aged 7 to 17 years old attending government primary health care clinics in Malaysia from December 2015 to June 2016. The respondents were selected via convenient random sampling. The survey was conducted via a face-to-face interview using a standardized self administered questionnaire. Result: The results showed that majority of the respondent showed mean age of 10.7 years and most were males (55.0%) with secondary level of education (33.6%). Mean exacerbation of disease was 4.9 ± 1.9. 60% respondent's caregiver had background of secondary level with majority (44.3%) of their family income ranging between (RM2300 5599) per month. There was no association was found between the frequency of asthma exacerbation with level of education among respondent's caregiver (t=-1.38, p=0.17) and with level of family income (F=0.25, p=0.96). Conclusion: The socio demographic factor has no relationship with asthma exacerbation. The findings added to the latest knowledge and information of asthma in Malaysia. Keywords— asthma, children, socioeconomic, government
Coordinating Mind and Hand: The Importance of Manual Drawing and Descriptive Geometry Instruction in a CAD-Oriented Engineering Design Graphics Class.

The ability to graphically depict objects in two- and three-dimensional space is fundamental to engineering design practice. Historically, engineers have used pencil, paper, and erasers to draft preliminary sketches and to transform initial drafts into precise production drawings. With the proliferation of computer- aided design (CAD) software programs, instruction in descriptive geometry, and manual drawing has largely vanished from engineering education programs. This article describes the history of instruction in descriptive geometry and manual drawing. It also presents a case study that investigates the contribution of CAD instruction with and without supplemental instruction in descriptive geometry and drawing to the development of students’ spatial abilities in an engineering design graphics class.
Challenges of early motherhood: Breastfeeding difficulties and life satisfaction

Many studies have looked at benefits of breastfeeding for the baby and, less frequently, the mother. Though many women find breastfeeding difficult, few studies have looked at the potential costs of breastfeeding for this group. From January 19th 2015 through April 18th 2015, the total of 1,980 Serbian mothers completed an on-line survey consisting of 74 questions which addressed their satisfaction with various areas of life. Mothers were divided into four groups depending on their breastfeeding experience: those who enjoy breastfeeding (Group 1), those who breastfeed despite finding it difficult (Group 2), those who do not breastfeed because they find it difficult, but otherwise would (Group 3) and those who do not breastfeed because “it is their choice” (Group 4). There were 1,238 women (53.2%) in Group, 1, 546 (23.4%) in Group 2, 147 (6.3%) in Group 3 and 49 (2.1%) in Group 4. Group 2 scored lower than Group 1 on 25 out of 26 indicators of satisfaction. When these 26 indicators were averaged, there was a significant difference in the average scores between Group 1 (M = 6.87, SD = 1.10) and Group 2 (M = 6.33, SD = 1.20). Group 3 scored higher than Group 2 on 19 out of 26 indicators. There is a remarkably consistent difference in satisfaction across many areas of life between women who breastfeed joyfully and those who do it out of a sense of duty. As public pressure on women to breastfeed mounts, distinction between these two kinds of breastfeeding experiences should be kept in mind. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br.

Multiphase sinusoidal oscillators using translinear current conveyors and only grounded passive components

A generalized multiphase sinusoidal oscillator is presented. The circuit realization uses the translinear bipolar second generation current-controlled conveyors to generate arbitrary n current signals equally spaced in phase. The proposed circuit consists of n multi-output current controlled conveyors and a current amplifier connected in cascade. The only passive component employed in each of the n conveyors is one grounded capacitor. The oscillation condition and oscillation frequency are independently controlled. The former depends only on the number of the phase signals of the oscillator. The dependency of the latter on the input resistance of the input ports of the current conveyors makes electronic tunability possible using the bias currents. The circuit also enjoys having simple structure and very low component count and it is highly suitable for monolithic implementation.
Influence of adjuvant factors on development of allergy Evidence from animal experiments

In recent decades the prevalence rate of allergic diseases has increased (1) and, according to WHOreports (2), been shown to constitute an important and expensive health problem throughout the world. Genetic studies have shown the disposition to allergic reaction to be inherited (3). However, the manifestation of allergic disease may be influenced by external factors. In a study of 7,000 Swedish twin pairs a discordant allergic respiratory disease development was found in more than half the pairs (4). Besides the genetic disposition, allergen exposure (Fig. 1) is a natural precondition for allergic development, and exposure period and allergen density are major factors (5 ,6) . Viral respiratory tract infections and environmental pollution act as adjuvant factors on the development of allergic disease, and in the following article animal experiments are reviewed which support the hypothesis that viral infection and inhalation of irritant gases might increase the likelihood of allergic sensitization throughout the respiratory tract.
Breast carcinoma in young females below the age of 35 years - histopathological and prognostic significance

Background: Breast cancers rarely occur in young women but are known to have more aggressive behaviors and poorer outcome. We here compare the significance of breast carcinoma in female below the age of 35 to the age over 35 whose specimens were submitted to Manipal teaching hospital, Pokhara. Materials and Methods: All cases of mastectomy with carcinoma from January 2000 to September 2011 were included in the study. Clinical and histopathological datas of all cases were reviewed and collated. Results: A total of 148 mastectomy specimens were received, among which, 23 cases (16%) were below 35 years; whereas 125 cases (84%) were above 35 years of age. In both groups, Stage II was the commonest stage but stage III was much more common in older group (33% versus 9%) and stage I was more common in younger age group (39% versus 27%). Bloom Richardson grading showed that in the older age group, grade 1 is the commonest grade (50%) while in the younger group; grade 3 is the commonest (39%). Patients were followed for a varying period of 6 months to 5 years. Two cases (2% of followed up cases) in older group and 3 cases (15% of followed up cases) in the younger group showed recurrence. Conclusion: Breast carcinoma in the patients younger than 35 years though presented at an early stage has higher grade tumor and poorer outcome.

Physical Activity Patterns of PETE Majors: Do They Walk the Talk?.

It is well established and supported by research that regular physical activity has positive benefits to health. Currently, there is much concern about the decreasing amount of physical activity in adults and children with a corresponding increase in obesity and morbidity/ mortality rates. This study was designed to investigate the activity patterns of physical education teacher education (PETE) majors. The purpose of the study was to raise the level of awareness for PETE majors as to the value and benefits of physical activity and allow these majors to gain a greater understanding of the need to adopt a lifestyle of being more physically active, not only for themselves, but also for the children they will teach. Seventeen first and second year physical education teacher education (PETE) majors were given a pedometer and required to report their daily steps and types of physical activity using an online reporting tool. The majors wore the pedometer for 30 days during the fall and spring semester and were given an analysis of their personal physical activities. Results indicated that in the fall study the majors were not reaching the minimum recommended level of physical activity which, after the intervention of education and an increased level of awareness in the spring semester, led to an increase in their physical activity. It appears that by the end of the study that these majors realized the importance of being physically active for a lifetime.
Critical Care Nurses’ Desire to Use Complementary Alternative Modalities (CAM) in Critical Care and Barriers to CAM Use

There is burgeoning literature supporting an increase in consumer demands for complementary alternative therapies/modalities (CAM). Popularity of these unconventional therapies requires critical care (CC) nurses to keep informed and to be responsive regarding patients’ use of CAM therapies. Critical care nurses were surveyed regarding their desire to use CAM and their perceptions of barriers for CAM use.
Kitabi İslam ve Halk İslamı Dikotomisi Bağlamında Medrese ve Halk İnançları

Ilahi kaynakli da olsa din, zaman ve cografya ile temasi sonucunda farkli gorunumler alir. Baska bir ifadeyle kulturel ortamla temas dinin farkli gorunumlerle somutluk kazanmasini saglar. Bunun yaninda dinin farkli sinifsal tabakalardaki tecrube bicimleri de farklidir. Dolayisiyla kaynagi tek olsa da, Islam’in farkli bilinc seviyelerine, bilgi anlayislarina ve sosyoekonomik durumlara sahip inananlari acisindan deneyimlenmesinin cesitlilik gostermesi dogal bir sonuctur. Islam ile ilgili yapilan sosyolojik, antropolojik incelemelerde dinin farkli kulturel ortamlardaki deneyimlenme bicimlerini ayirt etmeye yonelik tipolojik siniflandirmalar yapilmistir. Bu tipolojiler genelde farkli isimlendirmelerle yapilmistir. Fakat genel olarak dinin, kaynagindan ortaya cikis haline en yakin haliyle yasanmasi girisimleri “kitabi Islam”, eklentiler iceren Islam’in yasanma bicimleri ise “halk Islami” ile ifade edilmistir. Bu calisma, medresenin kulturel bir varlik olarak hayatiyetini surdurdugu Turkiye’nin Dogu ve Guneydogu Anadolu Bolgesi’nde halk inanislarin nasil yayilma alani bulabildigi, kitabi Islam’in temsilcileri olarak medreselilerin derinlemesine mulakatlardan elde edilen gorusleri uzerinden nitel paradigmaya bagli olarak fenomenolojik cozumlemeyle ele alinacaktir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Din sosyolojisi, din antropolojisi, medrese, kitabi Islam, halk Islami, halk inanclari.
Librarians and Teaching Faculty: Partners in Bibliographic Instruction

The integrated model of bibliographic instruction (BI) appears to be the preferred method of instruction despite such concerns as high cost in time and personnel. But even more crucial concerns are (1) a critical dependence on teaching faculty, (2) the difficulty of achieving a consistent, even program of instruction, and (3) the problem of transference of library knowledge from one course to another. As more emphasis is placed on research strategies than on specific tools, it becomes clear that the relationship between librarians and faculty is the major element in a successful BI program.
Mobile-assisted language learning: A Duolingo case study

Abstract The growing availability of mobile technologies has contributed to an increase in mobile-assisted language learning in which learners can autonomously study a second language (L2) anytime or anywhere (e.g. Kukulska-Hulme, Lee & Norris, 2017; Reinders & Benson, 2017). Research investigating the effectiveness of such study for L2 learning, however, has been limited, especially regarding large-scale commercial L2 learning apps, such as Duolingo. Although one commissioned research study found favorable language learning outcomes (Vesselinov & Grego, 2012), limited independent research has reported issues related to learner persistence, motivation, and program efficacy (Lord, 2015; Nielson, 2011). The current study investigates the semester-long learning experiences and results of nine participants learning Turkish on Duolingo. The participants showed improvement on L2 measures at the end of the study, and results indicate a positive, moderate correlation between the amount of time spent on Duolingo and learning gains. In terms of perceptions of their experiences, the participants generally viewed Duolingo’s flexibility and gamification aspects positively; however, variability in motivation to study and frustration with instructional materials were also expressed.
