Variations of Quality of Teacher–infant Interactions Across Play and Care Routine Activities

Bedtime routines have been shown to have significant associations with health, wellbeing and development outcomes for children and parents. Despite the importance of bedtime routines, most research has been carried out in the United States, with little information on bedtime routine characteristics and activities for families in other countries such as the United Kingdom and England in particular. Additionally, little is known about the possible effects of weekends vs. weekdays on the quality of bedtime routines. Finally, traditional, retrospective approaches have been most used in capturing data on bedtime routines, limiting our understanding of a dynamic and complex behaviour. The aim of this study was to explore bedtime routine characteristics and activities in families in the North of England with a real-time, dynamic data collection approach and to examine possible effects of weekend nights on the quality of bedtime routines. In total, 185 parents with children ages 3 to 7 years old provided data around their bedtime routine activities using an automated text-survey assessment over a 7-night period. Information on socio-economic and demographic characteristics were also gathered during recruitment. A small majority of parents managed to achieve all crucial elements of an optimal bedtime routine every night, with 53% reporting brushing their children’s teeth every night, 25% reading to their children every night and 30% consistently putting their children to bed at the same time each night. Results showed significant differences between weekend (especially Saturday) and weekday routines (F(1, 100) = 97.584, p < 0.001), with an additional effect for parental employment (F(1, 175) = 7.151, p < 0.05). Results highlight variability in bedtime routine activities and characteristics between families. Many families undertook, in a consistent manner, activities that are closely aligned with good practices and recommendations on what constitutes an optimal bedtime routine, while others struggled. Routines remained relatively stable during weekdays but showed signs of change over the weekend. Additional studies on mechanisms and elements affecting the formation, development and maintenance of bedtime routines are needed alongside studies on supporting and assisting families to achieve optimal routines.

Abstract: All fields of work have utilized information technology because data processing is fast and produces good results as expected. Utilization of Information Systems as a form of transparency of the Al-Ikhlas mosque in improving the quality of BKM performance by utilizing the website as a medium of information is a form of concern and a form of good performance so that later the Kisaran Naga village community can access the latest information. In addition, BKM Al-Ikhlas annually receives zakat as one of the routine activities that really requires the latest and greatest data, so that there are no accurate errors in delivering zakat to the mustahaq. However, because there is no system that can accommodate this data, it becomes a problem every year. So we need an application that can provide solutions to existing problems. This application is made using the PHP programming language which produces applications that can be accessed from anywhere and anytime, making it easier for users. The E-Masjid application is also an application that can manage mosque cash information, and zakat payments that make it easier for the community of the Kisaran Naga village and BKM Al-Ikhlas to handle good zakat transactions.Keywords: e-masjid; application; zakatAbstrak: Seluruh bidang pekerjaan sudah memanfaatkan teknologi informasi dikarenakan pengolahan data yang cepat dan baik menghasilkan hasil yang baik juga sesuai dengan yang diharapkan.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) results in severe cognitive decline, deterioration in the ability to perform routine activities such as bathing or walking, and changes in affect and behavior. It severely diminishes the quality of life of the affected person and presents a colossal burden to caregivers and a tremendous financial liability to society. The impetus for research relates specifically to these burdens by testing new ways to approach the manifestations of the disease and effectively communicating these ways to caregivers.

Routine activity and crime are much related to one another. When a women is on their routine trip, the possibility of crime to happen along the routine route is high. Therefore examining the exact routine activities of women travelers is needed by transport operators so that transport services can be offered accordingly to their needs. This paper examine the detail of women routine especially those involve in occupation or working group who are highly depending on public bus to commute. Therefore, the objective of the research is to determine the factors of trip chain, travel distance and time of travelling that affect women’s travelling safety issues in an urban area.Keywords: Crime, Working women, Routine Activities, Trip Chain, Quality of LifeeISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

Protective Behaviours

Previous research on the relationships between age, sex, ethnic group or previous victimization experience and fear of crime is controversial, as inconsistent results have been obtained, many of them attributable to a lack of methodological and conceptual consensus. We propose the study of self-protective behaviours motivated by fear of crime as a useful alternative that pays attention to the consequences of fear for urban quality of life. A survey with a representative sample of residents in a major city in Spain provides evidence about sex and age differences in self-protective behaviours against crime. Results from the ‘classical’ vulnerability and victimization models are discussed and the suitability of the evolutionary and the routine activities perspectives is also considered.

Definition Of

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).
