Multidisciplinary meetings: Listening to the experiences of children in a child and youth care centre

Adults for good reason agree that children should be protected at all times. However, in their attempts to help children who are vulnerable, adults should be cautious of cultivating a one-sided and reduced view of children and of their needs and rights. In the context of child protection, such a one-sided perspective limits the capabilities of the children’s agency. They are positioned as the passive receivers of expressions of pity and compassion, governmental and non-governmental services, and church and community outreach projects, which in many cases limit engagement with children in their true and full humanity. In attempts to engage with children in contexts of research and practices about them, efforts are made to study the experiences of children as seriously as possible. This article explores and presents the voices of children regarding how they experience their participation in multidisciplinary meetings at a child and youth care centre. The findings reveal four themes with regard to children: (1) their experiences of interactions and relationships at multidisciplinary meetings, (2) their internal and external characteristics and resources, (3) the enabling environment of the multidisciplinary meeting and (4) the process of multidisciplinary meetings. This exercise of listening to children and their voices highlights the complexity of the challenges children in child protection environments face. These challenges will not be sufficiently understood or addressed by the perspectives and methodologies of one particular discipline.
THE STUDY ON EXPERIENCE MARKETING OF TOURISM FACTORY IN TAIWAN

This paper explored the status of experience marketing in the tourism factory in various forms of experience activities, including sensory experience, emotional experience, thinking experience, action experience, and related experience. Meanwhile, this research combined importance and performance analysis (IPA) methods to analyze whether there was a significant difference in the importance and satisfaction of tourists from different backgrounds to the experience activities of the tourism factory. The research results showed that in the statistical variables had significant differences in the importance of various forms of experience activities. In terms of satisfaction, there were different significant differences based on different experience activities as well. performance is satisfactory. However, the process has excellent performance. III. Low importance and low performance: The importance and satisfaction of the service attributes are no good, which is the source of the company's downward trend. Therefore, operators can improve the lack of service attributes in this quadrant after the improvement of the fourth quadrant. IV. High importance and low performance: The importance of this service attribute is high, but satisfaction is no good, and it is the weakness source of potential for the enterprise. This quadrant is where customers pay high attention to their service attributes, but consumers feel that the current service performance is not up to their expectations
A Point of Interest Recommendation Engine for Suggesting Sightseeing Spots by User Reviews and Ratings

Tourism has become an important industry for most of the economies, especially for non-industrialized countries where it represents the main source of income. Recommendation systems are defined as the techniques used to predict the rating one individual will give to an item or social entity. These items can be places, books, movies, restaurants and things on which individuals have different preferences. These preferences are being predicted using two approaches first content-based approach which involves characteristics of an item and second collaborative filtering approaches which takes into account user's past behavior to make choices. Point of interest (POI) recommendation, which provides personalized recommendation of places to users. However, quite different from traditional interest oriented merchandise recommendation, POI recommendation is more complex due to the timing effects: we need to examine whether the POI fits a user’s availability. With increasing adoption and presence of Online services, designing novel approaches for efficient and effective recommendation has become of paramount importance. In existing services discovery and recommendation approaches focus on keyword dominant Web service search engines, which possess many limitations such as poor recommendation performance and heavy dependence on correct and complex queries from users. Recent research efforts on Online service recommendation center on two prominent approaches: collaborative filtering and content based recommendation. Unfortunately, both approaches have some drawbacks, which restrict their applicability in Web service recommendation. In proposed system for recommendation we will be using Agglomerative Hierarchal Clustering and collaborative filtering for effective recommendation in this system.
Parental Investment of Female Tengmalm's Owls Aegolius funereus: Correlation with Varying Food Abundance and Reproductive Success

Abstract. The effects of food abundance, reproductive success and age of nestlings on parental care in female Tengmalm's Owls were tested in this study. The behaviour of female owls was monitored by a camera system from hatching to fledging at 12 nests in 2004 and 2006 in the Ore Mountains, Czech Republic. Food abundance and reproductive success (the latter measured at the end of female's attendance of the brood) were higher in 2004 than in 2006. Females remained for a significantly longer time with their nestlings at the nests in 2004 (24.8 ± 2.4 days) than in 2006 (22.2 ± 0.9 days). During the attendance period, they were leaving the nest for several short trips each night; the duration of these trips, the total time spent outside the nest per night, and the number of trips per night did not differ between years. However, these variables did increase with increasing age of the young (though the number of trips per night increased only during the last week of the females' stay on the nests). Two types of female parental strategies were recorded after the end of brood attendance period: in 2004 when food was abundant, most of the females left their broods, whereas in 2006 when food was scarce, most of the females continued parental care and took part in the feeding of nestlings. The reproductive success was correlated negatively with both the total number of prey items and the proportional contribution of the females to nestling feeding. These results support the hypothesis that if the ecological conditions are such that the offspring can be raised by a single parent, its mate may abandon the clutch or brood and increase its fitness by sequential polygamy (polyandry/polygyny) during a single breeding season.
Phenotypic plasticity of the size at first reproduction in Daphnia: the importance of maternal size

I propose a mechanism of rapid phenotypic response of size at first repro- duction (SFR) that may allow relatively large species of Daphnia to survive under variable fish predation. A single clone of D. magna isolated from a shallow lake with planktivorous fish is able to express the full range of SFR observed in the field (1.8-3.0 mm) when raised under controlled temperature and food conditions in the laboratory. Control of SFR is predominantly based on size differences in the eggs of the first and the following broods of Daphnia. First-brood eggs are smaller. They hatch into smaller neonates that mature at a smaller size. In the lake, fish may selectively remove large females, and this will increase the share of first-brood females in the population. Offspring of these females will mature at a much smaller size, so that the size response to predation is intensified. When predation ceases, some females can grow to larger sizes. They will contribute many large offspring to the population because they have larger clutch sizes and larger eggs. This leads to a rapid shift toward large SFR. A single clone of D. magna was hatched from isolated eggs to measure the components of maternal size dependency, which is basic to this hypothesis. Strong positive relationships were found between female size and egg size, egg size and neonate size, neonate size and SFR, size of a female and its offspring's SFR, and female size and clutch size. The predicted pattern of SFR in relation to average body size is found in the lake, but the pattern of egg size is not clear, as egg size is strongly affected by changes in food abundance. This mechanism of phenotypic response may be a fortuitous effect of selection for maximum egg numbers in the first brood, but the increase of offspring size with maternal size may also be adaptive itself.

The Costs of Obesity in the Workplace

Objective: To quantify per capita and aggregate medical expenditures and the value of lost productivity, including absenteeism and presenteeism, because of overweight, and grade I, II, and III obesity among U.S. employees. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the 2006 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and the 2008 National Health and Wellness Survey. Results: Among men, estimates range from −$322 for overweight to $6087 for grade III obese men. For women, estimates range from $797 for overweight to $6694 for grade III. In aggregate, the annual cost attributable to obesity among full-time employees is $73.1 billion. Individuals with a body mass index >35 represent 37% of the obese population but are responsible for 61% of excess costs. Conclusions: Successful efforts to reduce the prevalence of obesity, especially among those with a body mass index >35, could result in significant savings to employers.
Clock Tests in Depression, Alzheimer's Disease, and Elderly Controls

Objective: While clock-drawing tests are commonly used to screen for cognitive impairment in the elderly, little is known about the performance of elderly depressives. Methods: We compared thirty-three patients with major depression to forty-two Alzheimer's disease and thirty age-matched controls on clock-drawing, copying, and reading. Results: Patients with Alzheimer's disease had significantly lower scores on clock-drawing, copying, and reading than patients with depression or the controls (p < 0.05). Patients with depression did not differ significantly from controls on quantitative scores or qualitative errors. Conclusions: Clock tests may be useful for identifying depressed patients with underlying dementia.
Genetic Interaction between Lyn, Ets1, and Btk in the Control of Antibody Levels

Tight control of B cell differentiation into plasma cells (PCs) is critical for proper immune responses and the prevention of autoimmunity. The Ets1 transcription factor acts in B cells to prevent PC differentiation. Ets1−/− mice accumulate PCs and produce autoantibodies. Ets1 expression is downregulated upon B cell activation through the BCR and TLRs and is maintained by the inhibitory signaling pathway mediated by Lyn, CD22 and SiglecG, and SHP-1. In the absence of these inhibitory components, Ets1 levels are reduced in B cells in a Btk-dependent manner. This leads to increased PCs, autoantibodies, and an autoimmune phenotype similar to that of Ets1−/− mice. Defects in inhibitory signaling molecules, including Lyn and Ets1, are associated with human lupus, although the effects are more subtle than the complete deficiency that occurs in knockout mice. In this study, we explore the effect of partial disruption of the Lyn/Ets1 pathway on B cell tolerance and find that Lyn+/−Ets1+/− mice demonstrate greater and earlier production of IgM, but not IgG, autoantibodies compared with Lyn+/− or Ets1+/− mice. We also show that Btk-dependent downregulation of Ets1 is important for normal PC homeostasis when inhibitory signaling is intact. Ets1 deficiency restores the decrease in steady state PCs and Ab levels observed in Btk−/− mice. Thus, depending on the balance of activating and inhibitory signals to Ets1, there is a continuum of effects on autoantibody production and PC maintenance. This ranges from full-blown autoimmunity with complete loss of Ets1-maintaining signals to reduced PC and Ab levels with impaired Ets1 downregulation.
Effects of unstable elements with different hardness on lower limb loading.

PURPOSE Osteoarthritis of the knee is one of the most common diseases. For this chronic disease, modified footwear structure can effectively prevent and relieve disease of the knee. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of shoe surface elastic modulus on external knee adduction moment and ground reaction force and foot loading characteristics. METHODS Sixteen healthy female volunteers were recruited, and each subject performed five walking trials under two shoes condition. The lower limb loading data was collected using force platform and in-sole pressure measurement system. RESULTS The results showed that the external knee adduction moment was decreased in all stance phase when wearing SS (unstable shoes with soft unstable elements), compared with HS (unstable shoes with hard unstable elements). The ground reaction force showed no obvious change under two shoes condition. Additionally, compared with HS, plantar pressure transferred from medial foot to lateral foot when wearing SS. Along with changes of contact areas, average pressure and impulse had also presented this tendency. CONCLUSIONS These results can provide some scientific evidence and suggestions for footwear companies, and for the foot plantar medial injury disease has also certain applicability.
Impact of Chromosomal Translocations on Male Infertility, Semen Quality, Testicular Volume and Reproductive Hormone Levels

Objective: To analyse the relationship between male infertility and chromosomal translocations, and the influence of different types of chromosomal translocations on semen quality, testicular volume and hormone levels. Methods: A retrospective cohort of infertile men was recruited for chromosomal analysis using standard Giemsa stain banding. Physical examinations, semen analysis, hormonal analysis and the detection of azoospermia factor (AZF) microdeletions were carried out. Men with normal fertility were used as controls. Results: Among the 1056 infertile men, 22 had chromosomal translocations (2.1%), including seven with Robertsonian translocations (0.7%), 11 with autosome- autosome reciprocal translocations (1.0%) and four with gonosome-autosome reciprocal translocations (0.4%). Left and right testicular volumes of patients with chromosomal translocations were significantly smaller than those in the fertile control group. There were no significant differences in hormone levels between patients with chromosomal translocations and fertile controls, except for significantly lower testosterone levels in patients with Robertsonian and gonosome- autosome reciprocal translocations compared with the controls. All AZF microdeletion analyses showed normal results. Conclusions: Chromosomal translocations may cause reductions in testicular volume and testosterone level, which may impact spermatogenesis, resulting in azoospermia or oligozoospermia and male infertility.

A Comparative Study of the Effects of Skin Contact and Kangaroo Care on Mother's Anxiety

Background: The aim of the study was to compare of mother and newborns abdominal contact and Kangaroo skin on mother's anxiety. Materials and Methods: This study is a single-blind randomized control trial in 2015. Questionnaire about Demographic and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was completed for two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in maternal anxiety between kangaroo care and abdominal contact by Mann-Whitney test immediately after birth (Z = -1.33, p = 0.42) and after 2 months (Z = -1.47, p = 0.86). Conclusions: The effect of kangaroo contact on mother's anxiety was similar to abdominal contact and if the kangaroo care is done for a short period of time, it will not change maternal anxiety.
Effects of myo-inositol supplementation in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome: a perspective, randomized, placebo-controlled study

Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate whether myo-inositol, an insulin-sensitizing substance, may improve some features of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women. Methods:Eighty postmenopausal women affected by the metabolic syndrome were enrolled prospectively in the study and treated with diet plus supplementation of myo-inositol (2 g BID plus diet: intervention group) or with diet plus placebo (control group) for 6 months. They were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months for insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment ratio [HOMA] insulin resistance), lipid profile, and blood pressure. Results:Myo-inositol plus diet improved systolic and diastolic blood pressure, HOMA index, cholesterol, and triglyceride serum levels with highly significant differences, compared with the groups treated only with diet and placebo. In the group treated with myo-inositol, a decrease in diastolic blood pressure (−11%), HOMA index (−75%), and serum triglycerides (−20%) and an improvement in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (22%) were shown. Conclusions:Supplementation with myo-inositol may be considered a reliable option in the treatment of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women.
