Child development experts have been raising alarms about the increasingly didactic and test-driven path of early childhood education as many programs eliminate play from their schedules. This limits the potential of technology use in play which is a natural combination for young children as play technologies become globally accepted as leisure time and learning activities. Play and technology both have their unique place in society and are often thought of as two separate entities. However, in today’s technology driven world, the separateness of the two is no longer as apparent as the two are beginning to blend. This blend is exciting but leaves educators with questions. Specifically, questions related to the following: (a) How do educators ensure that the child is challenged in every developmental domain and (b) How do educators create and facilitate opportunities for exposure to the traditional stages of play while also making sure that the child stays abreast of the latest and greatest technological advances? This chapter begins with the history of play and walks the reader to the issues educators are facing when technology and play merge.

Sierra Leone currently has one of the highest child mortality rates in the world. Among those children who have the greatest chance of survival are those who have access to life’s basic needs. Because the government of Sierra Leone does not provide child welfare programming, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are often lifelines for millions of children. Few studies have explored the barriers facing these NGOs or have used participatory action research methods to do so. This case study serves agencies working to address barriers to individual and community health in war-torn and developing countries. This research also makes a case for using technology as a tool for community engagement and empowerment. This chapter will highlight the findings of a participatory action research study and describe how Photovoice can be used to build community capacity and mobilize communities, organizations, and governments to bring about social change.

The Impact

The world economy is facing an unprecedented crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the real scale of the imminent crisis of neoliberal model, accelerating its development and aggravating its consequences. The situation in the global economy had a negative impact on the Cuban economy, especially since it coincided with tightening of economic embargo by Donald Trump Administration against Cuba launched more than 60 years ago. This article provides a preliminary assessment of the consequences of the crisis bearing in mind that the damage will depend upon duration and intensity of the pandemic around the world. Given the open nature of the Cuban economy, the estimates are based on the projected dynamics of the global economy. In the first part of the article the author, relying on extensive statistics, analyzes international context in which the economic situation in Cuba is developing, as well as the key obstacles to the country’s economic development. Further on, the author examines in detail the course of COVID-19 pandemic development in the country, assessing key peculiarities of the government program to combat the virus. The author also makes a detailed analysis of the government program for economic recovery and development, paying specific attention to the peculiarities of the monetary regime in force in Cuba. In the final part of the article the author provides an analysis of the main priorities of the government at the present stage, namely, increasing foreign exchange earnings, food production and improving the efficiency of capital investments, especially foreign direct investments. The author concludes that the key factor for Cuba development will be the effectiveness of application of the economic policy approved by the government and promptness of the reforms that are required to overcome existing obstacles.

Child Nutritional Status

Background: Childhood mortality and child nutritional status of the developing countries are very much concerning issues of the world. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the situation of childhood mortality and child nutritional status of Bangladesh with the comparative analysis and progress of childhood mortality and child nutritional status from 1993 to 2014. Methodology: In this regard this paper reviews the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys (BDHS) conducted in 1993-94, 1996-97, 1999-2000, 2004, 2007, 2011 and 2014, which were analyzed on infant, child, under-five mortality and child nutritional status in detail. Result: The evidences reflected in BDHSs show that infant, child and under-five mortality in Bangladesh have declined steadily at least over the past years. However, differentials in trends and patterns of childhood mortality and even child nutritional status by the demographic determinants have not been explained elaborately. According to the 1993-1994 and the 2014 surveys found infant mortality two times, child mortality sex times and under-five mortality rates three times declined in 2014 than those were in 1993-94. On the contrary, stunning, wasting and underweight are also declined in 2014 comparatively than the last two decades but it is noted that wasting situation is not gradually declined. Conclusion: Bangladesh successfully declined the total number of childhood mortalities and nutrition related mortalities and complexities. Many non-government and government funded organizations should run some effective programs to overcome the situation completely in Bangladesh.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research, 2015;2(2):42-46

INTRODUCTION Evaluation of nutritional status of population groups has been undertaken in many areas of the world during the past 40 years. Attempts have been made to standardize procedures and methodologies in order to allow comparisons of results from different studies.13 During the 1950s and 1960s, under the auspices of the Interdepartmental Committee on Nutrition for National Defense, a number of surveys were undertaken in developing countries of the world where children comprise the majority of the population. The preschool child was particularly vulnerable to malnutrition and mortality rates were quite high, often exceeding 50% in the first five years of life. Most infants in these countries seemed to thrive during the first 6 to 12 months of life, particularly if they were breast-fed. After this period, their diets declined nutritionally, both in quality and in quantity. Combined effects of malnutrition and of infection largely accounted for the high mortality rates in the postweaning age. In view of such high mortality rates, it was obvious that a substantial proportion of youngsters who did not die almost surely experienced overt malnutrition or some degree of nutritional deprivation during critical periods in development. Increasing attention has been given to study of these "survivors" from the standpoint of physical and intellectual development and behavioral characteristics.4-9 It was apparent in the mid 1960s that we knew little about the nutritional status of young children in the United States. Studies had been undertaken on various segments of the U.S. population,10 but were often limited in scope (only dietary surveys or anthropometric determinations) and in sample size (adolescents or adults in selected areas or occupations).

Nutritional Status Of Children

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic spread in India is steeply rising. A 21-day lockdown has been imposed by the Government of India, to curtail its spread. This has impacted all walks of life, including the availability of food, and nutrition related services. This will impact nutritional status of children throughout India. The two major schemes, i.e. the Integrated Child Development Scheme and the Mid-day meal services scheme have also been affected leading to a risk of worsening of child nutrition. Some states have evolved their own strategies to mitigate the effect of lockdown during this crisis period. Here we discuss the challenges and way forward related to ensuring availability of food for child nutrition during this health crisis.
