As more unmarried couples become parents, it is important to understand the dynamics that help these couples to maintain strong relationships. This article explores the association of the two partners' beliefs about father involvement with their likelihood of union dissolution and transition to marriage, using the first two waves of the Fragile Families survey ( n = 2,303). It finds that couples are more likely to end their union when partners do not believe that fathers' caregiving is very important and when the father participates less. Partners are less likely to marry if the mother does not believe that fathers' caregiving is very important. These effects are distinct from the quality of the couple's relationship and suggest that unmarried parents who value the father's role as a hands-on parent may be more motivated to build a stronger relationship.

The previous study showed that the quality of father-child relationship could predict the quality of family relationship. Father involvement were positively affecting child development. This study aimed to identify father roles on children in Islamic perspective. The study was conducted in Islamic Senior High School in West Jakarta. Five hundreds student from class IX were used in this study, and selected by using cluster random sampling method. Data were collected using in-depth interview and self-report with questionnaire as the tools. Father roles consist of six dimensions: (1) leader, (2) economic provider, (3) protector, (4) educator, (5) playmates, and (6) friend. This study found that father’s role as a leader, economic provider, and protector were the roles that most felt by children. Meanwhile, father’s role as an educator, playmates, and friend were the roles that less felt by children. Based on the result of the study, it is important to provide parenting education programs (training, seminars, and counseling) for parents especially father to enhance father roles in child live

In science, safety can seem unfashionable. Satisfying safety requirements can slow the pace of research, make it cumbersome, or cost significant amounts of money. The logic of rules can seem unclear. Compliance can feel like a negative incentive. So besides the obvious benefit that safety keeps one safe, why do some scientists preach "safe science is good science"? Understanding the principles that underlie this maxim might help to create a strong positive incentive to incorporate safety into the pursuit of groundbreaking science.<div><br></div><div>This essay explains how safety can enhance the quality of an experiment and promote innovation in one's research. Being safe induces a researcher to have <b>greater control</b> over an experiment, which reduces the <b>uncertainty</b> that characterizes the experiment. Less uncertainty increases both <b>safety</b> and the <b>quality</b> of the experiment, the latter including <b>statistical quality</b> (reproducibility, sensitivity, etc.) and <b>countless other properties</b> (yield, purity, cost, etc.). Like prototyping in design thinking and working under the constraint of creative limitation in the arts, <b>considering safety issues</b> is a hands-on activity that involves <b>decision-making</b>. Making decisions leads to new ideas, which spawns <b>innovation</b>.</div>

The demand for performing intravitreal injections has increased in recent years, prompting the need for more nurse training in their administration. The Great Western Hospitals NHS Trust in Swindon has developed a structured nurse training programme and now has 8 independent nurse injectors trained to undertake injections independently; nurse practitioners now contribute upwards of 85% of the total number of injections. The authors have also demonstrated the financial benefits of using injection assistant devices and shown the positive impact such devices have on training. In September 2019, the authors organised the first course to offer nurses and doctors hands-on experience in administering injections, using the Swindon training model to provide participants with a structured approach to learn how to perform intravitreal injections safely. Nurses made up 96% of participants; the remainder were doctors and managers; 6% had never performed an intravitreal injection; of units where they had, disposable drapes and a speculum were used in 71% of these. The number of injections performed per session at participants' units at the time they attended the course was: 17 or more injections=46%, 13–14=39%, and 11–12=15%. The course was rated 8.9/10 overall for content, with 85% very likely to recommend it to colleagues. All participants indicated that using the Swindon model made them feel confident to deliver injections safely. The authors demonstrated that using a structured training protocol and intravitreal assistant device improves the quality of nurse training and increases confidence in administering intravitreal injections.

Community pharmacies in Nepal and other South Asian countries are in a mediocre state due to poor regulation and the fact that many pharmacies are run by people with insufficient training in dispensing. This has led to the inappropriate use of medicines. The problems due to poor regulation and the mediocre state of community pharmacies in South Asia encompass both academia and clinical practice. In this paper, a 2-week community pharmacy internship programme completed by 2 graduating pharmacy students of Pokhara University (a Nepalese public university) at Sankalpa Pharmacy, Pokhara, Nepal is illustrated. During the internship, they were systematically trained on store management, pharmaceutical care, counselling skills, the use of medical devices, pharmaceutical business plans, medicine information sources, and adverse drug reaction reporting. An orientation, observations and hands-on training, case presentation, discussion, and feedback from 2 senior pharmacists were used as the training method. A proper community pharmacy internship format, good pharmacy practice standards, and a better work environment for pharmacists may improve the quality of community pharmacies.

A conservação preventiva dos acervos das bibliotecas, arquivos e centros de documentação é realizada por profissionais que atuam em processos de higienização. Contudo, a falta de uso dos EPIs (Equipamentos de Proteção Individual) traz sérios danos à sua saúde. Este trabalho visa alertar sobre a importância dos EPIs. A metodologia empregada envolve uma campanha ilustrada de conscientização através de vídeos, exposições práticas, palestras e treinamento. Como resultado, detectamos que a utilização correta destes equipamentos proporciona mais segurança e integridade física, garantindo melhor qualidade de vida a quem executa esta tarefa. Abstract Preventive maintenance of libraries, archives and document centers is performed by the personnel in charge of cleaning procedures. However, the lack of appropriate tools causes serious damage to their health. It is our purpose here to call attention to the importance of such tools. The methodology used was a public campaign consisting of videos, hands-on sessions, talks and training.As a result, we came to the conclusion that the correct use of cleaning equipment entails more physical security, which garantees a better quality of life for the people who perform these tasks.

ADIM delegates will learn how the quality of user-participation can be enhanced by improving the visual communication within designed outputs. The workshop’s aim is to provide a direct, hands–on experience, to explore how iconic, indexical and symbolic semiotic representation can improve design’s message, concept or affordance. It will complement the conference sub-track 5.e Seeking signification in transformational times: design semiotics and the negotiation of meaning.

In this paper, prototyping will be discussed from the point-of-view of user/designer cooperation in design. Active user participation in systems design is a way of improving the quality of the design process as well as the product - a computer application in use. To participate actively in design, users must be allowed to experience the future use situation in the design process. Various prototyping methods seem to offer valuable help in this process. Cooperation between users and designers, the mutual learning process, and hands-on experiences to reveal the triggering of proper operations is, however, only one side of the epistemological interests behind prototyping. At the same time, the practical solutions of different approaches are to some extent applicable but it is perhaps a good idea to reconsider the concept from the perspective of cooperation between users and professional designers.

Introduction: We have recently shown that Class 1 electrical insulating gloves are safe for hands-on defibrillation. Continuous chest compressions during defibrillation reduce the peri-shock pauses and increase the subsequent chance of successful defibrillation. In this study we have investigated the effect of these electrical insulation gloves on the quality of chest compressions, compared with normal clinical examination gloves. Methods: Emergency medical technicians trained in 2010 resuscitation guidelines delivered uninterrupted chest compressions for 6 min on a manikin, whilst wearing Class 1 electrical insulating gloves or clinical examination gloves. The order of gloves was randomized and each session of chest compressions was separated by at least 30 min to avoid fatigue. Data were collected from the manikin. Compression depth and compression rate were compared. Results: Data from 35 participants are shown in Figure 1. There was no statistically significant difference between Class 1 electrical insulating gloves in chest compression depth (median±range: 45 (28-61) vs 43 (28-61) p=0.69) and chest compression rate (113 (67-150) vs 113(72-145), p=0.87) when compared to clinical examination cloves. Conclusion: These preliminary data suggest that the use of Class 1 electrical insulation gloves does not reduce the quality of chest compressions during simulated CPR compared to clinical examination gloves.
