The indoor quality of an occupied space is very important for the well-being of its occupants, especially in the case of young children. Although nowadays little children spend a lot of their time in day care centres, relatively little is known about the effects of different indoor environmental factors present in these day care centres. Therefore this research investigated the indoor air quality of the sleeping accommodation of two Dutch day care centre as well as the conditions with the baby cots. Besides an extensive literature research actual measurements were performed in two day care cent to find out the indoor air conditions within baby cots. The results of the detailed studies were compared with the results of earlier Dutch studies in day care centres. Although, our latest findings were not as bad as results from our earlier case studies, still more attention is needed to get a better understanding of the current situation in which babies sleep.

Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder, which is characterized by decreased synthesis or absence of globin. The study was conducted to assess the quality of life among children suffering from thalassemia with a view to develop a parental guideline in the selected day care centre of Kolkata, West Bengal. A non-experimental survey approach with descriptive research design was adopted for the study. The data were collected using convenience sampling technique among 100 parents of children suffering from thalassemia and receiving blood transfusion at Institute of Blood Transfusion Medicine & Immunohaematology, Central Blood Bank, Maniktala, Kolkata. Findings revealed that out of 100 children suffering from thalassemia, 86 (86%) had good quality of life, rest 14 (14%) had satisfactory quality of life and none of them had poor quality of life. There was significant association of quality of life with selected variables like age, religion, educational status of father, educational status of mother, age of detection of thalassemia, age of starting blood transfusion at < 0.05 level of significance.

Title: Mathematical meaning making in children’s play? Verbal and non-verbal forms of expressionsAbstract: I analyze an episode from field work in a multilingual day-care centre in Oslo. I examine verbal and non-verbal expressions. The children are 5 years old, and the mathematics is about classification. The children are creating structure and are seeking meaning. This is a key part of their play. My findings indicate that mathematical order and structure become conscious experiences to the children. I argue that we cannot know about the children’s mathematical and communicative competence without knowing the physical context, the play in the sandpit, and the friendship between the boys.

Background: Frailty is a status of extreme vulnerability to endogenous and exogenous stressors exposing the individual to a higher risk of negative health-related outcomes. Exercise using interactive videos, known as exergames, is being increasingly used to increase physical activity by improving health and the physical function in elderly adults. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the reduction in the degree of frailty, the degree of independence in activities of daily living, the perception of one’s state of health, safety and cardiac healthiness by the exercise done using FRED over a 6-week period in elderly day care centre. Material and Methods: Frail volunteers >65 years of age, with a score of <10 points (SPPB), took part in the study. A study group and a control group of 20 participants respectively were obtained. Following randomisation, the study group (20) took part in 18 sessions in total over 6 months, and biofeedback was recorded in each session. Results: After 6 weeks, 100% of patients from the control group continued evidencing frailty risk, whereas only 5% of patients from the study group did so, with p < 0.001 statistical significance. In the case of the EQ-VAS, the control group worsened (−12.63 points) whereas the study group improved (12.05 points). The Barthel Index showed an improvement in the study group after 6 weeks, with statistically significant evidence and a value of p < 0.003906. Safety compliance with the physical activity exceeded 87% and even improved as the days went by. Discussion: Our results stand out from those obtained by other authors in that FRED is an ad hoc-designed exergame, significantly reduced the presence and severity of frailty in a sample of sedentary elders, thus potentially modifying their risk profile. It in turn improves the degree of independence in activities of daily living and the perception of one’s state of health, proving to be a safe and cardiac healthy exercise. Conclusions: The study undertaken confirms the fact that the FRED game proves to be a valid technological solution for reducing frailty risk. Based on the study conducted, the exergame may be considered an effective, safe and entertaining alternative.
