Celiac Disease: Parental Knowledge and Attitudes of Dietary Compliance
Authors: Anson Ofra , Weizman Zvi , Zeevi Naomi
Published: December 2021

Parents of 43 children with celiac disease, 28% of whom were classified as noncompliant, were interviewed. The knowledge, attitudes, and dietary behavior of parents of compliant patients were compared with those of noncompliant patients. Parents of compliant patients are better educated and from a higher social class. Although objective knowledge of the disease is similar in both groups, parents of compliant patients consider themselves adequately informed about the disease and are better able to choose gluten-free items from a menu. Parents of compliant patients are less worried about health in general but are more concerned with possible adverse effects celiac disease might have on the future of their children. Parents of both groups are not significantly different with regard to their understanding of the diet, the tendency to use medical care, and the perception of barriers to compliance or social support. It was concluded that to increase dietary compliance in celiac patients, parents should be guided mainly by the following three purposes: (1) enhancing their subjective evaluation of their own knowledge of celiac disease; (2) improving their practical ability to handle a menu; (3) increasing their anxiety regarding possible long-term adverse effects.
Are Pediatricians Ready for the New Guidelines on Lead Poisoning?
Authors: Bar-on Miriam E. , Boyle Russell M.
Published: December 2021

In 1991 the Centers for Disease Control established new guidelines for the definition of and screening for lead poisoning.

Objective. To assess: (1) pediatricians' knowledge of lead poisoning including the most recent literature on the subject, and (2) their screening practices.

Design, setting, subjects. A 22-item questionnaire was developed and validated. The survey was mailed to 1183 physicians in Virginia who were self-designated as pediatricians in the state medical registry.

Results. Sixty-nine percent (391/556) of those responding practiced primary care and 27% (153/556) were subspecialists. They were evenly distributed throughout the state. Of the respondents, 62% were male, 86% were white, and 72% trained at a university program. The median year for training completion was 1978. Demographic differences were not demonstrated (χ2) between primary care pediatricians and subspecialists.

Responses demonstrated an overall deficiency in physicians' knowledge of lead poisoning with specific deficiencies in knowledge of the literature, with mean ± SD correct responses of 15.7 ± 3.4. Primary care pediatricians scored significantly better than subspecialists: 16.2 ± 3.0 vs 14.7 ± 4.1 (P < .001, t-test). Twelve percent of the total group and 13.5% of primary care physicians were screening all their patients.

Conclusions. Although primary care pediatricians (self-designated) are more knowledgeable about lead poisoning than their subspecialist colleagues, there are still deficiencies, and screening practices must be modified in both groups. To successfully implement the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, physician education must be a priority.
Should Blood Lead Screening Recommendations Be Revised?
Authors: Harvey Birt
Published: December 2021

In October 1991, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended blood lead (BPb) screening for virtually all 1-year-old children and, preferably, for all 2-year-old children as well.1

In April 1993, the US Department of Health and Human Services distributed guidelines recommending that all newborns, regardless of race or ethnicity, be screened for sickle cell anemia.2

In June 1993, the National Institutes of Health issued a consensus conference recommendation that all infants be tested for hearing impairment within the first 3 months of life, preferably before newborns leave the hospital.3

In each instance, these screening recommendations were developed because a group of experts, after identifying a child health problem within its area of interest, believed that universal screening was indicated.

Published: December 2021

Objective. To determine the variability and the natural course of children suffering from autosomal recessive osteopetrosis to allow optimal counseling and decision making with respect to therapeutic intervention.

Design. Retrospective and longitudinal evaluation of clinical symptoms and natural course with emphasis on survival and sensoneurologic and hematologic findings.

Setting. Two large referral-based pediatric bone marrow transplantation units in Europe.

Patients. Thirty-three patients with autosomal recessive osteopetrosis admitted to units in Paris and Leiden between 1972 and 1988 were analyzed until last follow-up or the time at which bone marrow transplantation was performed. The great number of patients and unprecedented amount of data make this report one of the single largest clinical studies on autosomal recessive osteopetrosis.

Main results. Ocular involvement occurring at a median age of 2 months was the symptom at initial examination in half of the patients. A striking variability between patients was found. Retinal degeneration was present in three patients and associated generalized neurodegeneration was present in two. The probability of survival until the age of 6 years was about 30% for the group as a whole. The cumulative risk of developing visual or hematologic impairment in the first year of life was about 75% and leveled off afterward. Patients with early hematologic impairment, ie, before 3 months of age, especially when combined with early visual impairment, had a very poor prognosis regarding life expectancy.

Conclusions. Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis seems to be a variable disorder with a poor prognosis, especially in children with early visual and hematologic impairment. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation remains the only curative approach.
The Role of Anaerobic Bacteria in Perinephric and Renal Abscesses in Children
Authors: Brook Itzhak
Published: December 2021

Objective. To investigate the aerobic and anaerobic microbiology of renal abscesses in children.

Patients and methods. Aspirates from six children with perinephric and four with renal abscess were cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.

Results. A total of 20 organisms were recovered, 8 aerobic or facultative bacteria and 12 anaerobic bacteria. Aerobic or facultative bacteria only were recovered in one patient, anaerobic bacteria only in two, and mixed aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in seven. Anaerobic bacteria were isolated in perinephric abscesses that were associated with previous abdominal surgery and renal transplant and in renal abscesses that were related to malignancy, pyelonephritis, and orodental infection.

Conclusion. This study highlights the importance of anaerobic bacteria in perinephric and renal abscesses in children.
Pediatrician Interview Style and Mothers' Disclosure of Psychosocial Issues
Authors: Wissow Lawrence S. , Wilson Modena E.H. , Roter Debra L.
Published: December 2021

Objective. Primary care pediatricians play an important role in the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and referral of children with mental health problems. Some parents, however, are reluctant to discuss behavioral and emotional symptoms with their child's pediatrician. Studies of patient-physician communication suggest that specific aspects of pediatrician interview style (asking questions about psychosocial issues, making supportive statements, and listening attentively) increase disclosure of sensitive information. We hypothesized that disclosures of parent and child psychosocial problems would be more likely to occur during visits when pediatricians used these techniques.

Design. Cross-sectional analysis of a systematic sample of pediatric primary care visits.

Population. Two hundred thirty-four children ages 6 months to 14 years and their mothers or female guardians attending an inner-city hospital-based pediatric primary care clinic; 52 physicians in their second or third year of pediatric residency training.

Methods. Visits audiotaped and dialogue coded using the Roter Interactional Analysis System. Independent variables included counts of pediatrician utterances in the following categories: (a) questions about psychosocial issues, (b) statements of support and reassurance, and (c) statements indicating sympathetic and attentive listening. Dependent variables were the disclosure of information about: (a) parental medical or emotional impairment, (b) family disruption, (c) use of physical punishment, and (d) aggressive or overactive child behavior.

Results. Use of psychosocially oriented interviewing techniques was associated with a greater likelihood of disclosure for all four of the topic areas studied. Odds ratios for disclosure, adjusted for parental concerns and child age, ranged from 1.09 to 1.22 depending on the interview technique and outcome involved. Positive associations were observed both for topics raised primarily in response to pediatrician questions (family and parent problems) and for topics raised primarily by mothers (behavior and punishment).

Conclusions. Three simple communication skills were associated with disclosure of specific concerns relevant to child mental health. Training pediatricians to use these skills would help to better detect and diagnose children's mental health problems.

The guidelines of Baraff et al1 for management of the febrile child 0 to 36 months of age have combined evidence from published studies with expert opinion to develop recommendations that seem likely to be more clinically and cost-effective than those found in standard textbooks. Unlike those in textbooks, these recommendations are clear, they describe the basis on which they were generated, and they consider cost as an important factor in decision making.

We would like to limit our comments to the guidelines suggested for the febrile infant 0 to 3 months of age, as those suggested for the febrile patient 3 to 36 months of age constitute a separate discussion.

Baraff et al1 should be commended for their excellent "Guidelines" for the management of infants and children with fever without source. The optimal management of febrile infants has been a contentious issue for many years, and achieving consensus among experts in the field is both challenging and clinically important. Several studies by the same authors have consistently shown that there is a subgroup of infants who are at low risk for serious bacterial infection (SBI).
Comparison of the Number of Neonatologists in Different Countries Not Valid
Authors: Ratner Ian M.
Published: December 2021

I read with dismay, Dr William A. Silverman's "informal survey"1 purporting to demonstrate a disproportionate excess of neonatologists in the United States compared with six other developed countries. The fact that these "rough estimates" of physicians providing neonatology services are totally incomparable makes all subsequent manpower discussions purely judgmental, not factual. In fact, if one is really interested in the number of pediatricians dedicated to neonatal care (neonatologist equivalents) as opposed to only "titled" neonatologists, then calculations using the data in the footnotes triples the manpower figures for both Britain and Japan, catapulting Japan above the United States with the highest density of neonatologist equivalents.

Published: December 2021

Objective: To determine the reliability of knee joint sonography in the evaluation
of gouty arthritis. Methodology: A search of Google Scholar, PubMed, NCBI, MEDLINE, and
Medscape databases, from 1988 up to 2020. The key search terms used were knee joint;
knee joint ultrasound; gout; gouty arthritis, knee joint pain; sensitivity; specificity.
The reviewer independently screened the titles and abstracts of the relevant articles
and full text downloads to determine whether the inclusion or exclusion criteria were
met. Results: In total, 103 articles were identified through the database search. In
addition, 11 articles were identified through other sources. Then, screening was
performed, and 9 articles were removed due to duplication. Further screening was done
for 105 articles, and 27 articles were excluded due to insufficient information.
Seventy-eight full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. A total of 13 full-text
articles were excluded due to research performed on animals, as the study had been
designed as a review of only human studies. Sixty-three studies were included that had a
qualitative synthesis. Conclusion: The knee is a weight bearing joint and may be
affected by a myriad of different pathological conditions, therefore a proper diagnosis
is of prime importance for a proper management plan. Ultrasound is a non-invasive,
radiation-free, and readily available modality that has high sensitivity and specificity
in the evaluation of gouty arthritis.

In navigating the household ark, disharmony cannot be avoided, one of which is the result of neglecting rights and obligations that lead to the breakdown of the marriage. One of the consequences was the burden on the husband to pay for the madhiyah, iddah, and mut'ah livelihoods. The wife has the right to request payment of maintenance to the Religious Court if the husband does not fulfill his obligation to provide for his services. This study aims to discuss the legal basis and considerations of the panel of judges in determining the levels of the amount of madhiyah, iddah, and mut'ah. This study uses normative juridical research to examine statutory regulations related to determining the amount of madhiyah, iddah, and mut'ah. The results showed that First. The basis for determining the amount of income for the former husband is adjusted according to the ability of the husband as stated in Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 1991 concerning KHI, Law no. 1 of 1974, and SEMA No. 3 of 2018 Results of the Plenary of Religion point 2 as the refinement of SEMA No. 7 of 2012 number 16 and Article 149 letter b of the KHI. In the case of divorce talak (Article 8 number (3) letter (c) PERMA No. 3 of 2017) the maintenance of mut'ah and iddah is paid together with the pledge of divorce when pronounced by the Petitioner. Second, the judges' judgment regarding the determination of the level of the amount of living is based on, a) the wife does not commit nusyuz, b) the economic condition of the husband, c) based on the consideration of the reasonable needs of each party.

Published: December 2021

The paper presents a study of the thermophysical characteristics of meat systems based on minced beef and pork with different morphological composition in the freezing–thawing process, and those of model systems based on minced beef with addition of adipose tissue (raw fat). The method used to detect and compare the thermodynamic changes consisted in determining the effective specific heat capacity by freeze-thaw thermograms and was based on a set of informational parameters related to it (cryoscopic temperature, cryoscopic interval of temperatures, specific heat of phase transition in the cryoscopic temperature interval, change of enthalpy in the interval of temperatures of the sample tested, proportion of moisture that changes its physical state in the cryoscopic temperature interval). It has been shown that the morphological structure of meat (the ratio of muscle, connective, and adipose tissues) significantly affects the thermophysical parameters of meat systems during freezing and defrosting. It has been found that under the conditions of a freeze–thaw cycle, an increase in the content of connective tissue leads to a higher proportion of moisture that changes its physical state in the cryoscopic temperature interval, while an increase in the adipose tissue content in a meat system reduces the moisture that changes its physical state in the cryoscopic temperature interval. When adipose tissue was introduced into meat systems, the freezing process resulted in a higher rate of formation of ice crystals and a lower rate of moisture migration from cells to the intercellular space, and crystal formation became a controlled process. When manufacturing semi-finished frozen meat products, regulating the ratio of muscle and adipose tissues makes it possible to influence the stability of the properties of meat systems in the technological cycle “freezing – storage – thawing” and to create products with the required functional, technological, and thermophysical parameters. This research can be a basis for developing the recipe compositions and technological parameters of manufacturing semi-finished frozen meat products and finished products based on them
STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF NATIVE AND GERMINATED PUMPKIN AND WATERMELON SEEDS ON THE QUALITY OF DOUGH AND BREAD

Published: December 2021

The paper examines the effect of native and germinated pumpkin and watermelon seeds on the quality of semi-finished and finished bread products. Native and germinated seeds, pre-dried and ground into flour, were used as an additive to bread in the amount 5%, 10%, 15% by weight of the flour. Pumpkin and watermelon seeds were added in order to enrich the bread with micronutrients. The influence of these additives on the quantity and quality of gluten has been analysed. It has been found that the addition of pumpkin seed flour in quantities of 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of wheat flour leads to a decrease in the gluten content and an increase in its elasticity. The study has shown that adding native pumpkin seeds does not have a significant effect on the moisture and acidity of semi-finished and finished products, and adding germinated seeds leads to a slight increase in these parameters. Thus, the moisture content of the crumb with native pumpkin and watermelon seeds added increased by 0.2–1.3%, as compared with the reference sample, and with germinated seed flour added, it increased by 0.5–2.2%. The acidity of the crumb changes slightly, within experimental error. According to the physicochemical quality parameters, the most practical amount of the additives is 5% by weight of wheat flour. A comparative analysis has been carried out to establish how addition of 5% of native and germinated pumpkin and watermelon seeds changes the organoleptic properties of bread. The analysis has shown that ready-made bread products containing native pumpkin seeds taste better and have better olfactory properties than products with germinated seeds. The nutritional and calorific values of the reference sample and of bread with 5% of pumpkin and watermelon seed flour have been compared and characterised. It has been found that the addition of native pumpkin seeds will increase the content of minerals: of iron by 230%, of magnesium by 116%, and of potassium by 118%. The addition of native watermelon seeds will increase the phosphorus content by 13%. As a result of this research, the prospects of using flour of native pumpkin and watermelon seeds to fortify wheat bread have been shown

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar elementos para a constituição de uma nova agenda de pesquisas em relação aos estudos sobre a formação do português brasileiro moderno durante o Brasil Colônia. Para isso, apresentaremos a hipótese de que, entre o português clássico — uma das línguas presentes no Brasil Colônia — e a constituição do português brasileiro moderno em sua vertente prestigiada, houve uma variedade linguística adquirida pelos brancos nascidos no Brasil aqui denominada de português colonial brasileiro. Exporemos indícios linguísticos e sócio-históricos que atestam a validade dessa hipótese. Além disso, discutiremos algumas implicações teórico-metodológicas para o estudo dessa variedade a partir de um ponto de vista da sintaxe microcomparativa. Finalmente, proporemos algumas questões de pesquisa, centradas na possibilidade de identificação de traços conservadores e inovadores do português brasileiro moderno a partir do estudo do português colonial brasileiro.

Identidad de género y actitudes sexistas del alumnado de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canariaa
Authors: Morales Santana Míriam Lourdes , Etopa Bitata María Pilar , Díaz Jiménez Gabriel
Published: December 2021

La internalización de actitudes sexistas posee una estrecha vinculación con la identidad de género en la medida en que influyen en nuestros pensamientos, emociones y comportamientos en contextos interpersonales e intergrupales. En la actualidad, la identidad de género no responde a una construcción dicotómica, al menos, aparentemente. Sin embargo, esto no implica necesariamente asumir que las actitudes sexistas hayan desaparecido; más bien se han transformado, adquiriendo un matiz más sutil y encubierto. Así, el análisis de la identidad de género y de la prevalencia de las actitudes discriminatorias basadas en el género constituyen el punto de partida para desarrollar intervenciones socioeducativas en materia de igualdad. La presente investigación analiza la identidad de género y las actitudes sexistas en una muestra de 1091 estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. El objetivo es examinar la prevalencia de actitudes discriminatorias y su relación con la identidad de género. Se exploran las relaciones entre las variables sometidas a estudio. En términos generales, los resultados muestran que la prevalencia de las actitudes sexistas oscilan entre niveles bajos y ambivalentes, con resultados similares en sexismo benévolo para ambos sexos y con una prevalencia superior de sexismo hostil en hombres, por un lado; y que altas identificaciones con el género masculino o femenino llevan aparejadas mayores niveles de sexismo hostil y benévolo respectivamente, por otro. Este estudio destaca la necesidad de incorporar medidas educativas que contribuyan a la igualdad de género en la enseñanza superior.
IE, resiliencia, mujeres y otras cuestiones a considerar en la dotación intelectual, en las altas capacidades
Authors: Secanilla Campo Esther
Published: December 2021

Dotación intelectual, alta capacidad, superdotación, personas con talento, son conceptos que se siguen estando en pleno debate desde hace ya unos años. La realidad es la que es, pero el concepto cambia según el país, la comunidad o el municipio donde nos ubiquemos, en función de las necesidades de las políticas educativas de cada contexto, o de otros intereses. Superada en algunos sectores esta conceptualización, se abordan algunos aspectos relacionados coincidentes en las personas con dotación intelectual, desde su complejidad  y completitud, desde su intensidad, pero también desde una mirada integral de la persona. Teniendo en cuenta que la evolución es constante, conocerse es fundamental para ir avanzando en la vida. Para ello se realizó una investigación cualitativa, a través de diferentes entrevistas en profundidad a personas con altas capacidades, ofreciendo su testimonio de vida. A partir del análisis de dichas entrevistas, se observan características coincidentes entre ellas. En este artículo se expondrán algunas de dichas especificidades, lo cual permitirá ofrecer propuestas para comprender y acompañar profesionalmente mejor en el propio autoconocimiento de las personas con dotación intelectual. Para acompañar, asesorar, detectar e intervenir con infantes, adolescentes, jóvenes y adultos con altas capacidades y con sus familias.
Evolución de las metapercepciones interpersonales de niños y niñas durante la educación primaria
Authors: Marande Perrin Ghislaine , García Bacete Francisco J. , Muñoz Tinoco Victoria , Jiménez Lagares Irene
Published: December 2021

Introducción: Las metapercepciones interpersonales son un elemento fundamental en el desarrollo de las propias relaciones sociales según numerosas teorías (e.g. procesamiento de la información social). Según teorías del desarrollo social, la precisión de estas percepciones interpersonales aumenta con la edad. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar su evolución a lo largo de la educación primaria desde una perspectiva de género. Método: Se administró un cuestionario sociométrico en cuatro momentos (al principio del primer curso y al final de segundo, cuarto y sexto cursos) en 10 aulas, 88 chicas y 80 chicos (edad media en 1º =76.5 meses). Mediante análisis de medidas repetidas hemos analizado su ajuste perceptivo (positivo APP, negativo APN) y su realismo (positivo RPP, negativo RPN). Resultados: El ajuste y el realismo de las unas y los otros mejora sensiblemente de 1º a 6º. Las chicas especialmente omiten cada vez menos mencionar a aquellos-as compañeros-as a los que gustan (APP pasa de 45 en 1º a 69 en 6º) y a los a los cuales desagradan (APN de 37 a 60). En 6º se observan diferencias de género en RPN (chicas 50 y chicos 62), APN (60 y 48 respectivamente) y APP (70 y 56 respectivamente). En regla general, a cualquier nivel de educación primaria la identificación de los iguales aceptantes es más precisa que la de los rechazadores-as. Discusión: Con la edad, una mayor madurez social permite más exactitud en las metapercepciones. Sin embargo, el carácter encubierto del desagrado social hace que la identificación de los iguales a quienes una o uno desagrada sea más difícil que la de los a quienes agrada. Los niños reciben más rechazo que las niñas, por lo que alcanzan a tener más aciertos que ellas en su realismo negativo (RPN, en 6º se equivocan menos en mencionar rechazadores-as que en realidad no lo son), pero su ajuste es peor. La mayor sensibilidad de las niñas hacia el rechazo de los demás también puede influir.

Published: December 2021

Objectives: To determine the adherence to physical activity among people with type 2 diabetes Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional, nonexperimental, descriptive, and correlational study, with a sample of 102 people suffering from type 2 diabetes whose age ranged between 40 and 85 years. Most of the participants were male (51.96%). The evaluation protocol included a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, Diabetes Self-Care Scale(1) and the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire(2). The HbA1c clinical parameter was used to directly assess adherence. Results: The self-care activity in which respondents showed higher level of involvement was glucose monitoring that had an average participation of 5.73 days per week. Inversely, participants did not seem interested in physical activity. In this sort of activity participation amounted to 1 mere day per week on average. The study also showed that people with type 2 diabetes show minimal knowledge of areas related to the identity of the illness, its causes, complications, and treatment. 53.9% of the respondents did not recognise the role played by physical exercise in the treatment of their condition. Conclusion: Reducing the incidence of this disease is an imperative and preventive measure must be implemented to prevent the appearance of the problem, especially for people at higher risk. Among all the possible measures to be implemented, special focus will have to be placed on physical activity and weight loss. Physical activity has a direct impact on the control of the disease through the reduction of HbA1c levels, but its influence is also evident in other parameters, like weight loss, prevention of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and it also plays a crucial role in increasing quality of life.

The technology of the selective precipitation of arsenic from solutions for its detection and isolation
Authors: Avakyan Avak
Published: December 2021

This is a technology of the selective precipitation of (AsO4)3− from solutions as the Fe3+ hydroxoarsenate using the FeCl3, NaHCO3 and CH3CO2H. This can be used as a qualitative reaction for arsenic. The dissolving of the Fe3+ and Ag+ arsenates in CH3CO2H in the presence of the CH3CO2Na is discovered. The Fe3+ acetate is stable in water solution without other reagents (it was discovered); and it is stable in CH3CO2H solutions. The arsenic can be isolated using the reactions: Fe3+ hydroxoarsenate + reducing agents, example: Ca(H2PO2)2, as the dark amorphous precipitate (like soot). Then it can be sublimated. This is a safe easy reliable highly sensitive alternative to the Marsh test.

Published: December 2021

Plastic wastes forms 18.46 % of total municipal solid wastes in 2018 around the world. Heavy hydrocarbons occur as the waste of refinery processes. In this study co-pyrolysis of waste polystyrene foam (PS) and heavy aromatic waste (HAW) was carried out for the first time in literature. It was aimed to investigate the effect of temperature (420, 450, 480 ⁰C) and mixing ratio (1/5, 3/5, 1/1) on liquid product yield and compound distribution in the pyrolytic liquids. Whole experiments were done in semi-batch reactor configuration under nitrogen atmosphere. Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was utilized to analyze the pyrolytic liquids. At 480 ⁰C it was obtained maximum liquid yield as 87.24 % in 1/5 HAW/PS feedstock ratio. Compared to the pure PS pyrolysis, it was achieved relatively low styrene, toluene yield. However yields of ethyl benzene and cumene increased with HAW adding to the feed. Naphthalene was not detected in liquid of PS pyrolysis. Maximum naphthalene yield was taken as 12.71% at 480 ⁰C with 1/5 HAW/PS feedstock ratio.
Achieving the NDP 2030 agricultural agenda in UMzimkhulu: myth or possibility

Published: December 2021

The South African Constitution has often been adjudged one of the most progressive constitutions ever written. However, transforming the theoretical content of the Constitution into a reality has proved to be a challenge. Considering that, the NDP 2030 is widely acknowledged as a well-thought-out and structured plan, the converting of the NDP 2030 vision into reality is discussed amongst cynics, who often consider it as an unrealistic vision based on the current circumstances and timeframe. In consonance with the afore-narrative, this paper explores the current circumstances of the Agricultural sector within the UMzimkhulu Municipality and gauges against the agricultural agenda set forth in the NDP 2030. To unravel this nexus, the paper pursues a qualitative approach wherein face-to-face interviews were conducted amongst 63 farmers. Prior to the interview, a pretest was conducted to ascertain the suitability of the instrument. The professional personnel were from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development; the Department of Water and Sanitation, alongside other key stakeholders within three farming projects in UMzimkhulu, KwaZulu-Natal, Province, South Africa. The conceding view amongst most of the respondents indicated that the agricultural plan outlined in the NDP 2030 was far from attainment considering the current resources, skills, personnel, and timeframe. Thus, the paper advocates several proactive mitigations such as capacitation, tailor-made investments, institutional reinvigoration, and formidable partnerships amidst other practicable recommendations.

Published: December 2021

An ever-increasing need for a bilingual education in globalized societies have set new challenges for all stakeholders from ideological (monoglossic vs heteroglossic) as well as methodological perspectives. Teachers’ persistent interest in different forms of bilingual education has attracted us to explore the potential of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) as a means of attaining a bilingual education in the second decade of the 21st century, especially the professional development of teachers who work in the given context. In this study, narrative analysis is employed to investigate how teachers’ explicit meaningful experiences lead a teacher to become a CLIL teacher in the Estonian educational settings, and disclose the factors shaping this process. The results reveal a variation in the teachers’ meaningful experiences driven mostly by their context – the type of bilingual program, the status of the foreign language, school support for collaborative practices - as well as a variation in the belief of what constitutes CLIL - views on languages and personal pedagogical beliefs.

Published: December 2021

The Decree-Law 54/2018 combined with Ordinance 223-A / 2018 - Article 33 regulates the inclusion of gifted students in Portuguese schools. This study aims to investigate primary school teachers` perceptions of giftedness and their experiences of working with gifted children in their regular classes. This is an exploratory study with 13 teachers and the data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Our participants tended to represent giftedness with an emphasis on the intellectual traits of gifted learners and to adjust their pedagogical approach accordingly. Their assessment practices focused essentially on product-oriented approaches instead of process-oriented approaches. Our findings suggest that there is still a long way to go, especially in terms of formal teacher training, to tailor teaching to the needs and characteristics of gifted learners.

Published: December 2021

Introduction. Depressive symptoms (DS) can impact maternal child feeding styles (MCFS), and child’s body weight. Objective. 1. Verify if DS are different depending if the child has, or not, overweight-obesity (OW-OB); 2. Identify the MCFS based on the fact that the child has, or not, OW-OB; 3. Verify it DS are different according to MCFS; 4. Identify DS’s predictors. Method. Correlational cross-sectional study. The participants were 259 dyads (mother- preschool child) residents in Mexico’ Northeast. Mothers answered the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Revised, and the Caregiver Feeding Styles Questionnaire. Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, Kruskall-Wallis H, and multiple linear regression analysis were performed. Results. Twelve point eight percent of the mothers (n = 33) had DS, 35.5% (n = 92) authoritarian MCFS. No significant difference was identified between DS and MCFS according to the child’s OW-OB or lack thereof (U = 5726.0, p #cer# .05 and X2 = .078, gl = 3, p #cer# .05). A significant positive correlation was found between DS and MCFS demandingness (rs = .208, p = .001). The authoritarian MCFS had the highest DS mean (H = 10.70, gl = 3, p #abr# .05). The demandingness predicts the DS (X2 = 826.445, gl = 1, p = .001). Discussion and conclusion. Authoritarian MCFS predominated, DS were higher in mothers with authoritarian MCFS; demandingness predicts DS. It is recommended to promote authoritarian MCFS which favors the development of healthy eating habits.
Self-medication with cannabidiol (CBD) and associated treatments in the self-care of anxiety in women from Mexico City: A qualitative study
Authors: Gutiérrez Rafael , Vega Leticia
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The popular use of marijuana and its components (THC and CBD) for medicinal purposes is often regarded as irresponsible and ignorant. However, in this paper, it is conceptualized and studied as medical knowledge of self-care, in which it is linked to different therapeutic knowledge from conventional and alternative medicine to treat anxiety. Objective. This article reports on a qualitative research project designed to analyze the practices and risks of self-medication with CBD, and its links with medical treatments and self-care measures for dealing with anxiety in adult women in Mexico City. Method. Eleven adult women, mostly professionals, diagnosed with anxiety, participated in the study. In-depth interviews were conducted to learn how women use therapeutic resources to cope with anxiety in their everyday lives. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using ATLAS ti 7 software. Results. Self-medication is part of a self-care process with several facets: the experience of symptoms, self-diagnosis, the use of various remedies (dosage and administration), and their evaluation. During this process, women use a range of medication, psychological therapies, herbalism, acupuncture, yoga, and sleep hygiene measures, including CBD, either as an alternative or an adjunct to biomedical pharmacology, with or without medical supervision. Certain risks were identified, such as the use of CBD that may be incorrectly labeled or interact dangerously with other self-prescribed substances. Discussion and conclusion. These results coincide with those of various authors who equate self-care with a first level of care, which has risks that could be reduced by controlling misleading marketing and developing professional medical services, which are trained and accessible to users, who could inform them about the medicinal use, scope and risks of CBD or THC for health.
