Assessing Preschool Child Routines in the Family: A Preliminary Study of the Portuguese Version of the Child Routines Questionnaire - Preschool

Abstract In Argentina, five galling species of the family Cecidosidae (Lepidoptera), including Cecidoses eremita Curtis and Eucecidoses minutanus Brèthes, have been cited. This note reports a preliminary study of their galls in "molles" (Schinus longifolius (Lindl.) Speg.) of Magdalena (Buenos Aires, Argentina). In April 2013, galls of C. eremita and E. minutanus were censused in randomly selected "molles". In April and December 2013, randomly selected galls were then collected and transported to our laboratory in hermetic bags, and conserved at -18 ºC until examination. Maximum diameter and wall thickness of collected galls were measured. About 84% of the observed "molles" (103/123) had galls of C. eremita and/or E. minutanus. The median of galls per tree was 12 (Q1=6; Q3=22). Eucecidoses minutanus had galls with smaller diameter (U11;53= 583; P<0.05) and thinner wall (U10;52=506.5; P<0..05) than C. eremita. In open galls, we found Pseudoescorpionida, Araneae (Segestriidae and Salticidae), and larvae of Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Within closed galls, we found adults of Torymidae and Chalcidoidea, and larvae of Ichneumonoidea.

This paper presents a combined approach with two aims. The first is to analyze the reported sequence of the enzyme ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 14 of Giardia intestinalis (UBP6) through computational methods to find components related with its hypothetical function. The second is to determine if the protein-coding gene is expressed in G. intestinalis and, if such is the case, also determine its transcription pattern along the life cycle of the parasite. It was established that the protein belongs to the family of Cys-dependent deubiquitinases and more specifically to ubiquitin specific proteases (USPs). Moreover, the catalytic center with the complete triad as well as typical features of the USP motif were also identified. Since the computational findings suggest that the enzyme could be functional, reverse transcription coupled to PCR was used as a first approach to establish if in fact the coding gene is expressed in the parasite. Interestingly, it was found not only that the gene is expressed, but also that there is a transcription variation along the life cycle of the parasite. These two findings are the starting point for further studies since they tentatively suggest that this enzyme could be involved in the protein turnover that occurs during parasite encystation. Although preliminary, this study is the first report concerning the study of a specific deubiquitinating enzyme in the parasite G. intestinalis.

Changes in the political, social and economic spheres of modern Kazakhstan society dictate the need to increase attention to the socialization of preschool children in the family and preschool organizations. The integrity of the pedagogical process is understood as the integrity of the processes of socialization and individualization of the preschool child, preservation of the child's nature and its development in culture, enrichment of individual cultural experience in the process of inclusion in the socio-cultural experience, unity of development and education. The modern pedagogical process is designed as a system of conditions that allow each child to realize individual needs and at the same time interact with the children's community. The organization of children's activities initiates the creation of children's associations in which each child performs a favorite function and simultaneously cooperates with other children. In such an educational space, the processes of socialization and individualization leading to preschool age harmoniously complement each other.

The Family

In Malaysia, some parents leave the duties of child rearing to their domestic helpers. This can cause much trauma to a preschool child who has been raised by his domestic helper if the domestic helper leaves the family. The domestic helper was the primary caregiver of the child; hence, when the domestic helper leaves, the child feels that his “mother” has abandoned him. This in turn cause the child to respond via very negative acting out behaviors. This chapter presents a case study using filial play therapy as a therapeutic intervention for a pre-school child and his mother after the domestic helper left the family. This therapeutic process enhanced the bonding between the child and his mother. As a result of better bonding, the child's negative behaviors subsided.

AbstractThere is a lack of experimental support for Linguistic Relativity Theory (LRT), which has not been tested in a South Pacific context. Fifty-two bilingual male (n = 26) and female Fijians read, and answered survey questions on the family dilemma, “An Unwanted Child?” - one group functioning in English and the other in Fijian. The group reading and answering in Fijian tended to place more emphasis on the rights of the extended family, whereas the group reading and responding in English placed more emphasis on the rights of the individual. These preliminary findings are consistent with LRT theory, and form the basis for more extended study, including perhaps a wider range of dilemmas and linguistic abilities (e.g., Fijians living in Australia).

Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess the level of burden of caregivers of persons with dementia and to analyze the factors related to the sense of burden. Methods: The study group consisted of 58 caregivers with an average age of 54.7 (± 12.6) and 45 (78%) were women. The Caregiver Burden Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Berlin Social Support Scale (BSSS), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used. Results: In the study group, 93% could rely on help in caring for the patient, provided mainly by the family. Most caregivers demonstrated a medium level of burden (2.63 ± 0.61). A significant correlation was found between the level of caregiver burden and caregiving frequency, BSSS, BDI, and SWLS. Conclusions: A lot of factors influence the caregivers’ burden. It appears necessary to take into consideration the cultural, religious, and economic distinctiveness of the country in question.

Various studies related to family strength indicators have been carried out in various countries. However, research on family strength in Asia, especially in Indonesia, which has a variety of cultures is still not widely conducted. The purpose of this study was to properly explore key indicators of Sundanese family strength in Bandung City, West Java, Indonesia. This study used the qualitative approach specifically the phenomenology method. The participants were four Sundanese families in Bandung City, who identify its family members are Sundanese and are confirmed by the surrounding community as Sundanese. Data were analyzed with thematic analysis. The result uncovered five themes: 1) accommodating conflict strategy or “silih narima” 2.) positive communication 3.) the emotional intimacy 4.) knowing (philosophy of life) or “neang elmu” 5.) the social support of the family of origin. The implication of these findings is discussed.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the process of translation and adaptation into Brazilian Portuguese of the Family Accommodation Scale for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - Interviewer-Rated (FAS-IR). METHOD: The process of translation and adaptation of the scale involved four bilingual health professionals. The scale was initially translated into Brazilian Portuguese independently by two professionals. Then, the two versions were compared, resulting in a preliminary Portuguese version that was administered to 15 relatives of patients diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with different education levels, deliberately chosen to collect language adjustment suggestions. Subsequently, the scale was translated back into English independently by two other professionals. After comparing the two back translations, a new English version was generated. This version was reviewed and approved by the authors of the original scale. RESULTS: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the FAS-IR proved to be easily understood and can be used in relatives of OCD patients from different socioeconomic backgrounds. CONCLUSION: Adaptation of the FAS-IR into Brazilian Portuguese will enable health professionals to assess the level of accommodation in relatives of OCD patients and allows the development of future studies aimed at 1) studying the influence of family accommodation on maintaining and possibly facilitating OCD symptoms, and 2) assessing the effect of family accommodation on treatment outcomes in Portuguese-speaking populations.
