Inequality Confounding Migrants to Access Compulsory Education: An Empirical Study on Implementation of Household Registration Policy in Beijing, China

In wake of urbanization and economic transitions, the amount of floating population in China has been increasing consistently since late 1990s [1-3]. In particular, adult migrants hailing from remotely underdeveloped regions are keeping bouncing willingness to bring along children to migrant destinations in order to receive better quality of social services, such as education. However, in comparison with local residents, migrants with non-local household registration identity (hukou in Chinese) are struggled indefinitely in receiving educational opportunity equally. This study concentrates on compulsory educational inequality in terms of school enrolment rate to migrant students with non-local hukou identity who are eager to be members of public primary schools in Beijing, and carries out an critical examination as whether hukou policy still plays a pivotal role directly unbalancing opportunities between local and migrant students recruited by public primary schools in this captured city, which is technically regarded as the central research question of the study. Also, this study is supposed to look at whether other particular regulations at the meantime as derivatives of hukou policy diminish equal opportunities for migrants in terms of educational attainment. The data employed were collected from first-hand materials by means of conducting semi-structured interviews and distributing surveys and second-hand documents including policy documents, governmental reports, press releases and literatures. There are three crucial findings emerged up after examinations: 1. Hukou policy is no longer directly unbalancing opportunities for students with difference hukou identities to sit in schools, its derivative named Five-certificate regulation (wuzheng in Chinese) has become an substitution 2. National College Entrance Exam (gaokao in Chinese) is another parameter in enrolment processes influencing educational choices that immigrant parents are going to make 3. In order to maximize chance to be treated fairly, majority of migrants have a behaviour of seeking social connections (guanxi in Chinese) to plough tracks for fields with better educational resources, although most of them came to nothing. This study, at the meantime, comes up with policy implication: government should take actions to diminish negative impacts of hindrances in process of hukou identity transitions both institutionally and practically.
Educational success of low-income and first generation college students in private colleges of China

By Yinghui Chen University of the Pacific 2019 In China, low-income and first generation college students in private institutions are faced with adversities which undermine their educational outcome. Since the previous researches are mainly deficit-focused, the researcher conducted an investigation which put emphasis on the students’ successful educational outcome in order to round out the knowledge of this problem. The researcher employed a qualitative multiple case study to explore how three students accomplished educational resilience despite their hardships. The researcher findings suggested that: 1) Internal locus of control, career and academic planning, financial aids, job-related experience, and rational occupational aspiration contribute to students’ educational success; 2) The primary risks that the low-income and first-generation college students undergo in private college are lack of social connection, psychological maladjustment and financial hardships; 3) The protective factors offset the risk and produce educational success; 4) The protective factors contribute to educational resilience by interacting one another. The findings have implications for national policy makers, college administrators and teachers. Future studies are suggested to include students of public institutions and explore the interaction between internal and external protective factors by conducting quantitative design.
NON PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS FOR BREAST ENGORGEMENT: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Background :. Mothers often suffer breast engorgement at the beginning of postpartum, and one of the causes is early breastfeeding cessation. Management of breast engorgement should be done well to support the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to review and identify the non- pharmacological treatments that have potential effects on reduced breast engorgement Methods :This was a systematic review prepared according to the standard guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Article search used electronically. The two databases used were the PubMed and Cochrane library. English-language articles, and full text using the keywords of "treatment breast engorgement” OR “lactating” OR “cabbage compress". The inclusion criteria were the studies with Randomized controlled trial (RCT) published from 2009 to 2019, the respondents were postpartum mothers who breastfed their babies, and intervention was non-pharmacological action research and not a medical action. Results : Out of 5,927 articles resulted from the literature search, there were 5 articles that met the inclusion criteria and included in this systematic review with a total number of 882 participants. The treatment used in dealing with breast engorgement varied, such as 2 studies used cold cabbage leaf and the remaining studies used these non-pharmacological treatments, respectively: hot herbal compresses, cold hollyhock herbal compress, the intervention of Gua sha. All the results of the study stated that the intervention was effective in reducing breast pain and engorgement. Conclusions : Herbal compresses, leaf compresses hollyhock, cabbage compresses and Gua sha therapy can be used to treat breast engorgement during lactation, but more rigorous follow-up studies are needed to see which interventions are most effective using larger samples.
Real-Time Grayscale Dehazing Scheme For Car Vision

: To improve the safety of autonomous cars, their obstacle detection capability in bad weather must be substantially improved. Haze is a major factor that degrades outdoor images. Although various dehazing schemes have been proposed, a dehazing scheme designed to improve obstacle detection capability has not been reported. Hence, we present a dehazing algorithm that enhances the safety of an autonomous car. This algorithm should be able to work in real time, even using edge computers typically installed as car electronics. Furthermore, this algorithm should work on grayscale images, as systems dependent on color images are often unaffected by environmental color changes caused by factors such as a setting sun. We developed this algorithm based on the following three existing dehazing algorithms: dark channel prior, median dark channel prior, and the parameter tuning scheme for dark channel prior. We extend these methods based only on grayscale images. In terms of object detection capability, structural similarity index measure, and peak signal-to-noise ratio, the empirical results showed that our grayscale image-based proposed algorithm is comparable to the results of current cutting-edge methods, and operates in real time.
Home Visits In Internal Medicine Graduate Medical Education

Home-based care training is largely absent from internal medicine (IM) graduate medical education, and home-based care program evaluation largely focuses on resident attitudes and satisfaction, rather than impact on practice or the patient experience. In the 2015-16 academic year, the Yale Primary Care Internal Medicine residency program (YPC) incorporated required home visits for all PGY-1s and PGY-2s. These visits are intended to build unique clinical skillsets, enhance education about the role of psychosocial determinants of health, and potentially impact resident wellbeing. A qualitative method was used to evaluate this program with the goal of characterizing the impact of one-time home visits as an educational intervention for resident trainees, and as a home-based clinical care experience for patients. From July –Oct 2016 semi-structured interviews were conducted with YPC residents who had participated in home visits (n=9) and with visited patients from the resident panels (n=10). Patient and randomly chosen control charts were also reviewed for socio-demographics, healthcare utilization and comorbidities (Charlson Co-morbidity Index) and data was analyzed using chi-squared significance testing. Interview analysis identified emerging themes. Key provider topics included: 1. Educational value; 2. Patient impact; and 3. Impact on burnout. Key patient topics included: 1. Provider relationship impact; 2. Improved communication; and 3. Resource connections. This work is unique in evaluating the impact that one-time visits with residents, can have for patients. As time investment and funding are often obstacles to program implementation in graduate medical education, this implies that even infrequent home visit opportunities can be a worthwhile addition to residency training for both residents and patients. Acknowledgements It would be impossible to fully express my appreciation for the people and communities who have made this project possible. An immeasurable amount of gratitude to my research advisor, Dr. Tracy Rabin, for her encouragement, guidance and incredible thoughtfulness and dedication. I feel so fortunate to have her as a mentor and this project would not have been possible in both very practical and more intangible ways without her support and investment. Many thanks to the Patient and Family Advisory Council, the Equity Research and Innovation Center and other faculty and staff for their advice, input and insight during project development and research design. Many thanks as well to the residents and patients who gave their time to be interviewed and were willing to share their personal experiences and stories so openly. Funding for this project was possible thanks to NIH National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney diseases.
Sport nutrition: A review of the latest guidelines for exercise and sport nutrition from the American College of Sport Nutrition, the International Olympic Committee and the International Society for Sports Nutrition

AbstractEvidence-based sport nutrition guidelines which explore the connection between nutrition, exercise and well-being form a crucial part of any athlete’s competitive and training programme. Guidelines that are based on sound scientific evidence about the quantity, structure and timing of food intake are important to ensure that athletes train more effectively to reduce the risk of injury and illness. Appropriate nutrition complements training and recovery and can induce metabolic adaptations to training. Adequate energy should derive from a variety of foods that provide carbohydrates, proteins, fat and micronutrients. Maintenance of the energy balance in individuals with increased requirements because of physical activity is important. Challenges may arise in the case of larger athletes and those who partake in high-volume intense training. Habitual carbohydrate intake is essential for physically active individuals and should be timed according to training sessions to ensure optimal pre-, during, and.
Parents’ Marital Status and Psychological Distress among College Students

The main objective of the recent study was to explore the association between parents’ marital status and psychological distress in college student. The sample consisted of 1024 students from various colleges in Indonesia (297 men and 727 women). Psychological distress was measured by the Bahasa Indonesia version of Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25). The result of descriptive statistics proved that most of the participants had high psychological distress. Participants raised by married parents tend to have lower psychological distress than participants raised by widowed or divorced parent(s). The analysis of each aspect showed that participants raised by widowed parent had higher anxiety than participants raised by married parents. Meantime, participants raised by divorced parents had higher depression compared to participants raised by married parents. It also indicated the interactions between gender, parent’s marital status, and psychological distress. These findings could be reference for academic counselor to enforce a prevention program for college students who may suffer from high psychological distress, especially for college students who raised in divorced or widowed families.
Classification of Data Stream in Sensor Network With Small Samples

Compared with conventional narrowband radar, ultra-wideband (UWB) radar has strong anti-interference performance, low-frequency, and wide-frequency characteristics, a good penetrating ability, a high-resolution range, and a good target-recognition ability. It is effective for the detection of weak signals such as breathing or motion of the human body. Therefore, a UWB radar is widely used in the field of human body target detection for earthquake and snow disasters. At present, through-wall human target detection technology using a UWB radar has two challenging problems. First, UWB radar data has a dynamic acquisition process, whereas existing detection technologies mostly employ static learning models, resulting in an inability to process and learn data features online. There is a need to address target recognition based on sensor-network data stream. Second, UWB radar faces the problem of unbalanced data classification in the identification of through-wall targets, i.e., target recognition under small-sample conditions. To address these issues, this paper proposes an adaptive incremental recursive least-squares regression parameter estimation method based on an adaptive variable sliding window, which performs Gaussian function fitting on the data streams and adapts to the mean square error and self-adaptation variable sliding window threshold comparison to adaptively block dynamic data streams. The tensor space theory is used to extract and fuse the multisensor data, and the tensor depth learning algorithm is used to improve the recognition accuracy of the target detection under small-sample conditions. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, we use three UWB radars to build a multistate recognition system for human targets. The data stream adaptive block effect, single and multisensor classification effects were tested under small-sample conditions. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm not only accurately segmented the dynamic data streams but also effectively realized multisensor information fusion and improved the real-time target monitoring under small-sample conditions.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea as the Initial Manifestation of Acromegaly

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common type of sleep disorder, a chronic condition characterized by fre-quent episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. There are serious complications associated with this condition, varying from different respiratory complications, neuropsychiatric dis-turbances to increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disorders. The OSAS frequently occurs in acromegaly patients with a high prevalence rate of 20 to 50%. The symptoms of sleep apnea, including snoring, tiredness, and excessive daytime sleepiness, are often reversible with an appropriate treatment strategy. We report here a middle-aged woman with excessive snoring and severe headaches caused by sleep apnea as a first sign, years before definite diagnosis of acromegaly.

Role of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) on in management of diabetes disease

Diabetes mellitus is one of the major metabolic disorders, afflicting a large proportion of the population all over the world. It is recognized for sever complications, which include diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) is one of the most common medicinal plants used for diabetes, and also it is a key ingredient of curries and other Indian recipes. The plant contains active components such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, saponins etc, and also it is rich in soluble fiber, which helps lower blood sugar by hindering assimilation and retention of carbohydrates. Many trials showed that fenugreek can improve most metabolic symptoms related with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in humans by bringing down blood glucose levels and improving glucose tolerance.

A Tale of Two Twitterspheres: Political Microblogging During and After the 2016 Primary and Presidential Debates

In this research, the authors study the process by which social media posts are created and shared during live political debates. Using data from over 9.5 million tweets posted during and shortly after four key debates leading up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the authors test a series of hypotheses about how tweeting evolves over time during such events. They find that (1) as the debates progressed, the content of the “Twittersphere” became increasingly decoupled from the live event, and (2) the drivers of the success of tweets during the debates differed from the drivers of success observed after the debates. During the debates, users acted akin to narrators, posting shorter tweets that commented on unfolding events, with linguistic emotionality playing a limited role in sharing. However, when the debates were over, users acted more like interpreters, with successful posts being more elaborate and visually and emotionally rich accounts of the event. Evidence for the generalizability of the findings is provided by an analysis of Barack Obama’s last State of the Union Address, where similar dynamics are observed.
The Relationship Between Teachers’ Inclusion-Related Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes and Student Outcomes: A Review of Recent Literature

In this article, we report on a scoping review of empirical literature addressing the relationship between teachers’ inclusion-related knowledge, skills, and attitudes and student outcomes. Using six common electronic databases for education (ProQuest, JSTOR, SAGE Journals Online, ScienceDirect, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES), we searched for peer-reviewed, English-language publications between 1 January 2008 and 1 January 2018 (a 10-year period). A total of 25 articles met the search criteria for this scoping review and were consequently subject to a more detailed examination. This more detailed examination focused upon five student variables (intellectual disabilities [IDs], learning disabilities [LDs], autism spectrum disorder [ASD], other mental health disorders, and giftedness) and five possible student outcomes (social well-being, functional or life skills, academic achievement, post-secondary transitions, and exceptionality-related outcomes). These 25 articles include eight systematic or scoping reviews, two that report on experimental studies, nine that report on quasi-experimental studies, and six that report on correlational-descriptive research studies. A summary account of these 25 articles is offered, as is a list of related implications, for both practice and inquiry. Some of the most significant implications are related to the limited body of evidence related to a number of variables; these include teachers’ attitudes and resultant student outcomes, giftedness, and post-secondary transitions. Additionally, these implications also offer cautionary considerations related to teachers delivering mental health-related programs and utilizing technology-related interventions for students with ASD.
Endogenous Growth and Equilibrium Cycles under Altruistic and Envious Preferences

This study examines how habit persistence in preferences affects short- and long-run economic growth in a dynamic competitive economy and addresses the possibility of equilibrium cycles in the presence of habit persistence in preferences. The study shows a continuum of transitional competitive equilibrium paths, each of which converges to a unique balanced growth path when external habits influence a household’s preferences and when a firm’s productivities increase in public capital services financed by consumption taxes. The self-fulfilling sunspot equilibrium path exhibits equilibrium cycles under altruistic or envious preferences in a growing competitive economy with exogenous fiscal policies. The study also demonstrates that a distortionary fiscal policy, including consumption tax, acts as a stabilizer for sunspot-driven fluctuations among rational expectation agents, selects a unique transitional path around the unique balance growth path, and eradicates equilibrium cycles in the social optimum.
