Betätigungsbalance von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Zeiten der Corona-Pandemie/Occupational balance of children and adolescents in the times of the Corona pandemic

Dental biofilm-induced gingivitis is extremely common in children and adolescents and it affects the majority of children over 7 years old. It is characterised by inflammation, consisting in changes of colour, size, consistency and texture. Although most of the times gingivitis does not progress into periodontitis, it is important to diagnose and properly treat this disease, as gingivitis precedes periodontitis. The present paper aims to review the main findings of microbial etiology and epidemiology of dental biofilm-induced gingivitis mediated by local risk factors, as well as the role of oral hygiene in preventing bacterial colonization.

BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are two pathologies of great personal, social and economic im-pact; in many cases both have an early onset. Domestic violence can separate children and adolescents from their families; being sent, most of the times, to foster homes. Children and adolescents in foster homes tend to develop anxiety, depression and stress triggering lifelong emotional and mental difficulties. In this context, the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of anxiety and depression in girls and female adolescents from “Miguel León” Shelter, Cuenca, during 2016, creating statistical data that will allow set-ting protection projects and future studies. METHODS: Descriptive, quantitative cross-sectional study. The study population was stablished with 35 girls and adolescents, aged 5 to 18 years, from a foster home. For data collection, the SPENCE Child Anxiety Scale and the CDI Inventory were applied. Data was processed with Microsoft Excel 2010 and SPSS 15.0. Data is presented in charts and graphics using frequencies and percentages. RESULTS: The frequency of anxiety was 22.86% and the frequent of depression was 17.14%. The most pre-valent age range for both pathologies was 10 to 14 years old with 62.5% and 50% respectively. In both groups, diagnosed with anxiety and diagnosed with depression, the length of stay in the foster home was 0 to 6 months for the majority of the population ( 50 and 66.67% respectively). CONCLUSIÓN: The frequency of depression in girls aged 5 to 18 years, was 17.14%. The frequency of anxie-ty in girls aged from 5 to 18 years in the foster home was 22.86%, values lower than those found in other studies. The age range in which both diseases were most prevalent was, 10-14 years old. Both disorders were more prevalent the shorter the time spent in the foster home.

Abstract Background To investigate timely access to and the time needed to complete the diagnostic path of children and adolescents with suspected attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the 18 Italian Lombardy Region ADHD reference centers. Methods Data of children and adolescents enrolled in the Regional ADHD disease-oriented Registry for suspected ADHD who requested their first visit in 2013–2017 were analyzed. Results The sample comprised 2262 children and adolescents aged 5–17 years who accessed the ADHD centers for diagnostic classification and management. The median waiting time was of 177 days (range 66–375) from the request for the initial appointment to the completion of the diagnostic path, with a three - fold difference between centers. In addition to the center, the strongest significant predictors of long waiting times were age comorbidities, the severity of the disorder, and having already completed some diagnostic procedures provided by the common standard path. Conclusions To guarantee an equal standard of care in ADHD centers for all children and adolescents there is a pressing need to reduce the times to complete the diagnostic path. It is the task of both policymakers and each center to optimize the quality of the service and of the care delivered.

RESUMOCom a promulgação da atual Constituição Federal, as crianças e os adolescentes ganharam a proteção especial do Estado e são titulares de inúmeros direitos e garantias. O descumprimento dos direitos constitucionais dos infantes ocorre no seio familiar por meio do abuso do poder familiar. O afeto e a convivência familiar são elementos indispensáveis à formação da personalidade e da individualidade de uma pessoa. A relevância da participação de ambos os genitores no desenvolvimento de uma criança é significativa, já que as figuras paterna e materna representam papéis distintos na vida de um infante. Ressalta-se, que os filhos negligenciados são mais suscetíveis a desequilíbrios psicológicos. O descumprimento dos deveres parentais tem possibilitado ações de responsabilidade civil por ato ilícito causador de dano moral. A indenização seria o último recurso na tentativa de amenizar os danos psicológicos causados pelo abandono, já que na maioria das vezes não é mais possível restabelecer os laços de afeto. Por meio da evolução doutrinária, legislativa e jurisprudencial procurou-se demonstrar a pertinência do tema para a ampliação da responsabilidade advinda pelo não exercício da parentalidade responsável.PALAVRAS-CHAVEDireito de Família. Responsabilidade civil. Abandono afetivo. ABSTRACTWith the ratification of current Brazilian Constitution, children and adolescents acquired special protection from the state and are entitled to numerous rights. The violation of constitutional rights of infants occurs within the familial intimacy through the abuse of parental power. The affection and the family life are vital components to the formation of personality and individuality. The relevance of both parents’ participation in the child´s development is significant, since the paternal and maternal figures represent distinct roles in the infant´s life. It is noteworthy that neglected children are more susceptible to psychological unbalances. The non-compliance of parental duties has enabled liability actions on the cause of pain and suffering. Compensation is a last resource in an attempt to minimize the psychological damage caused by abandonment, since most of the times it is no longer possible to restore the bonds of affection. Through the study of previous works, cases and the legislative evolution, the relevance of the theme is demonstrated in order to favor the increase in liability arising from the non-exercise of responsible parenting.

AbstractThe Algol-type eclipsing binary WX Eridani was observed on 21 nights on the 48-inch telescope of the Japal-Rangapur Observatory during 1973-75 in B and V colours. An improved period of P = 0.82327038 days was obtained from the analysis of the times of five primary minima. An absorption feature between phase angles 50-80, 100-130, 230-260 and 280-310 was present in the light curves. The analysis of the light curves indicated the eclipses to be grazing with primary to be transit and secondary, an occultation. Elements derived from the solution of the light curve using Russel-Merrill method are given. From comparison of the fractional radii with Roche lobes, it is concluded that none of the components have filled their respective lobes but the primary star seems to be evolving. The spectral type of the primary component was estimated to be F3 and is found to be pulsating with two periods equal to one-fifth and one-sixth of the orbital period.

Experience Difficulty

Microcomputers offer the potential for increasing the effectiveness of language intervention for school-age children and adolescents who have language-learning disabilities. One promising application is in the treatment of students who experience difficulty comprehending figurative expressions, an aspect of language that occurs frequently in both spoken and written contexts. Although software is available to teach figurative language to children and adolescents, it is our feeling that improvements are needed in the existing programs. Software should be reviewed carefully before it is used with students, just as standardized tests and other clinical and educational materials are routinely scrutinized before use. In this article, four microcomputer programs are described and evaluated. Suggestions are then offered for the development of new types of software to teach figurative language.
