The children were presented with a number of questions about child participation in their communities.. Question: Why is it important to hear the voices of children?. One child underlined one key impact of giving a platform to children's voices. "[If] elders hear our voices…this will increase our trust for ourselves". However, a child from Pakistan pointed out the importance of adopting a gender sensitive lens when promoting child participation, noting that in her community boys' voices were often given greater weight than girls.. Question: How does your community make spaces for child participation?. The children shared some examples of how their community supported or encouraged child participation, but also their concerns on where they felt support for child participation was lacking.. A child from the Bahá'í community in Chile spoke of how elders in her community always ask for the opinion of children. "They want to know what you think. They don't just ignore you". Children are invited ...

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is a respiratory disease caused by a newly recognized coronavirus (MERS-Co). It was first reported in 2012 in Saudi Arabia and since then linked to countries in or near the Arabian Peninsula (United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Kuwait, Yemen, and Lebanon) and Iran. As of May 2014, two cases had been reported in the United States, both in men who had recently returned from Saudi Arabia (1). Also Iran has been reported plenty of cases but fortunately the outbreak subsided (2).. Recently South Korea had a large outbreak of the MERS and was blamed on locating every person exposed to the disease. Many of the 180 MERS cases in South Korea, which make up the largest outbreak of the disease outside Saudi Arabia, were caught from sufferers encountered in emergency wards before they were diagnosed, during a wait for hospital places; unfortunately 30 out of 180 infected patients expired (3).. MERS is typically characterized by cough, fever, and shortness of ...

Follow-up showed an indolent progression, regardless of treatment strategy.. ...

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 has provided unified scope in the British medical system for proxy consent with regard to medical decisions, in the form of a lasting power of attorney. While the intentions are to increase the autonomous decision making powers of those unable to consent, the author of this paper argues that the whole notion of proxy consent collapses into a paternalistic judgement regarding the other person's best interests and that the new legislation introduces only an advisor, not a proxy with the moral authority to make treatment decisions on behalf of another. The criticism is threefold. First, there is good empirical evidence that people are poor proxy decision makers as regards accurately representing other people's desires and wishes, and this is therefore a pragmatically inadequate method of gaining consent. Second, philosophical theory explaining how we represent other people's thought processes indicates that we are unlikely ever to achieve accurate simulations of others' ...

Background: Knowledge about assent or dissent of children to non-therapeutic research is poor.. Objectives: To assess sociodemographic characteristics in healthy children and adolescents who were invited to participate in non-therapeutic research, to evaluate their motives for assent or dissent and their understanding of the information given.. Methods: A total of 1281 healthy children and adolescents six to sixteen years of age were invited to participate in a non-therapeutic study and a questionnaire.. Results: Assenting children were motivated by a desire to help sick children (n = 638, 98%) and to gain experience with participating in a research study (n = 503, 82%). Dissenting children made their decision because of worries about having a blood (n = 193, 46%) or a urine sample (n = 94, 26%) taken or because of worries about a doctor's examination (n = 136, 33%). Fewer children in the assent group (n = 166, 25%) than in the dissent group (136, 33%) worried about the doctor's examination (p = ...

Idaho's abortion law is strict, but that won't stop at least three major attempts at tightening it up further this year. The current law allows first-trimester abortions for a variety of reasons, but limits second-trimester abortions to in-hospital procedures found to be in the 'best medical interest' of the mother. It bans all third-trimester abortions except those found by two doctors to be necessary to save the woman's life, or those where the fetus will not survive if born.

A majority of states require parental consent or notification before a minor may have an abortion. Parental involvement laws are based in part on the assumption that abortion poses a risk to the psychological health of adolescents. Previous research has catalogued the risks to adolescent mothers and their children posed by early childbearing, the alternative to abortion. The health risks of delaying abortion also have been documented. Few studies, however, have attempted to quantify the risks of abortion to adolescents' mental health. Research suggests that associations between abortion and depression demonstrated in some studies of adult women may be spurious and reflect unmeasured covariates, such as intendedness of the pregnancy. This study used secondary data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to test whether having an abortion put adolescent women at risk for developing depression in the short term and over time. Respondents were interviewed three times, ...

DAVE MIHALOVIC) Public health officials are routinely failing to inform the public of their right to refuse vaccines in both school and work settings. Greater powers are at work to make mandatory vaccination policies which will allow officials to conduct childhood vaccinations without any parental consent at all. The inventor of the rotavirus vaccine wants all exemptions based on religious or philosophical grounds to end along with informed consent and the freedom to choose.. Paul A. Offit, MD is an American pediatrician who specializes in infectious disease and is also the co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine. He has stated:. "Children whose parents hold certain religious beliefs shouldn't be afforded less protection than other children. That the commonwealth has allowed children to die from measles, bacterial pneumonia, or leukemia in the name of religion is inexplicable. That it continues to allow such abuse in the face of recent deaths is unconscionable. … should repeal its religious ...

INTRODUCTION: hepatitis B virus infection is a major global health problem of public health importance. In a bid to control the infection, the Nigerian government in 2004 introduced hepatitis B vaccine into the National Program on Immunization. There are no studies on the prevalence of hepatitis B in adolescent prior to 2004.The study was aimed at determining the seroprevalence and predictors of viral Hepatitis B in Nigerian children aged 11-18 years. METHODS: a cross sectional analytical study was conducted in July 2014.Multi-staged sampling technique was used to select 749 children from six secondary schools in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Cross River State Medical Ethical Committee. A validated structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to obtain information from participants following parental consent. Blood samples were obtained for qualitative detection of HBsAg using rapid chromatographic immunoassays with test kits from ABON

A catastrophic illness is a severe illness requiring prolonged hospitalization or recovery. Examples would include coma, cancer, leukemia, heart attack or stroke. These illnesses usually involve high costs for hospitals, doctors and medicines and may incapacitate the person from working, creating a financial hardship. They are the type intended to be covered by high-deductible health plans. Research indicates that the unusual economic environment of the delivery of catastrophic illness care encourages the use of innovative therapies. Medicare contains a benefit for catastrophic illness.

Background: We aimed at assessing the influence of those who are part of the parents' social network (family, friends and health professionals) when they are making decisions about nutritional and respiratory support treatments for their SMA 1 children. Methods: We prepared a 46-question questionnaire to explore the factors that influence parents' decisions. The influence of the different persons, the degree of satisfaction with the treatment elected and the consistency between the treatment information and the child's status were assessed by the parents using a Likert scaleof ten (a higher score for a higher influence). Results: The secondary-care physicians have the main influence on parent's decisions about nutritional support (mean=6.4) and about respiratory support (mean=5.8). This influence is higher among decisions about Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (mean=8.0) and among decisions about Tracheostomy Ventilation (mean=8.0). The degree of satisfaction with the chosen treatment is high ...

Large scale implementation of CO2 geologic sequestration requires detailed uncertainty analysis and risk assessment for leakage potential. Probabilistic risk assessment based on Monte Carlo simulation is one option for quantifying the risk. It involves repeated random realizations of a simulator to generate probability distributions of interesting variables such as leakage amount. However, in the context of modeling CO2 plume migration underground after injection, numerical solution of non-linear equation systems for heat and mass balances is too time-intensive for Monte Carlo simulation. To cope with this computational expense, investigators are often forced to make simplifying assumptions and resort to approximate models. To address this challenge, instead of solving a large system of non-linear equations, we first develop a surrogate model for the multi-component multi-phase flow processes involved in the injection of CO2 into deep saline aquifers. In particular, we use TOUGH2 in conjunction ...

The patient was a 42-year-old Mexican-American man with the diagnosis of SCA10 based on the presence of 2350 ATTCT repeats. Gait ataxia started at 26 years of age followed by the development of complex partial seizures with occasional secondary generalisation. An examination at age 30 showed normal mental status and typical symptoms and signs of cerebellar ataxia with MRI findings showing cerebellar atrophy without other abnormalities. Ataxia progressed and his seizures were poorly controlled even with multiple anticonvulsants and a vagal nerve stimulator. Shortly before his death, he was wheelchair bound. He developed aspiration pneumonia, which was subsequently complicated by multiple organ failure, and died after staying in the ICU for 7 days. With family's consent for autopsy, the brain was removed 3 h postmortem. Samples were taken from cerebral cortex, hippocampus, brainstem and cerebellum. A … ...

Downloadable! Cash transfer programs are widely used in settings where child labor is prevalent. Although many of these programs are explicitly implemented to improve children's welfare, in theory their impact on child labor is undetermined. This paper systematically reviews the empirical evidence on the impact of cash transfers, conditional and unconditional, on child labor. The authors find no evidence that cash transfer interventions increase child labor in practice. On the contrary, there is broad evidence that conditional and unconditional cash transfers lower both children's participation in child labor and hours worked and cushion the effect of economic shocks that may lead households to use child labor as a coping strategy. Boys experience particularly strong decreases in economic activities, girls in household chores. The findings underline the usefulness of cash transfers as a relatively safe policy instrument to improve child welfare, but also point to knowledge gaps, for instance regarding

In the U.S., UK and in many other countries, the gap between the demand and the supply of human organs for transplantation is on the rise, despite the efforts of governments and health agencies to promote donor registration. In some countries of continental Europe, however, cadaveric organ procurement is based on the principle of presumed consent. Under presumed consent legislation, a deceased individual is classified as a potential donor in absence of explicit opposition to donation before death. Abadie and Gaye analyzed the impact of presumed consent laws on donation rates. For this purpose, they construct a dataset on organ donation rates and potential factors affecting organ donation for 22 countries over a 10-year period.

Everyone should feel safe and comfortable at every level of intimacy. I really want to be part of the change from rape culture to consent culture.. I often share posts on social media.

Electronic government implies the use of information and communication technology (ICT) for improving the way public services are provided to all citizens. In order to create an interface, through which citizens can use these services, web portals are developed. The web portal that represents the interface for the use of services intended for citizens in the Republic of Croatia, as key users, was developed in the frame of e-citizens project, initiated by the Croatian government in year 2013. Since its inception, the portal has been continuously upgraded and complemented by new electronic services.

Citizens access the portal, but mostly to collect information and do not use its advanced additional functionalities. This paper analyses Croatian government web portal, its functionalities, attitudes
