This book presents an excellent analysis of child mortality in the Netherlands. It traces the evolution of the decreases oven the past 75 years and predicts future trends. Since 1900 infant mortality decreased by 85% in the Netherlands. The preschool mortality showed a decline of 91% and mortality among the school age child was reduced by 83%. Child mortality was thus reduced at all age groups. The problem of infant mortality in the Netherlands like in the United States, is mainly the problem of the newborn, the bulk of the deaths in the infant group being due to perinatal mortality.

Standardized Mortality Rate

In the past 20 years, the incidence of anorexia nervosa (AN) in industrialized countries has remained stable at 4.2–7.7 new cases per 100,000 per year. During this period, the incidence of bulimia nervosa (BN) has decreased from 12.2 to 6.1 per 100,000. The lifetime prevalence of AN in females in the United States in the past decade was 0.9% and 0.3% in males, and that of BN was 0.88% in females and 0.12% in males in a European study. Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder (ED), with a lifetime prevalence of 3.5% in women in the United States and 2.0% in men. AN has the highest standardized mortality rate of 5.86, followed by BN with a standardized mortality rate of 2.29. Less than half of AN patients have a full recovery, compared to two-thirds of BN patients who recover. The prevalence of EDs is increasing in the Middle East and Asian countries, as well as among Latinos, African-Americans, and Asians in the United States. Body dissatisfaction and a family history of ED are consistent risk factors across all EDs. Perfectionism is a greater risk factor for restricting AN and conduct disorders, and substance abuse and sexual abuse are risk factors for BN and BED. ED prevention programmes have mainly targeted at-risk persons in specific age groups and environments. Both Internet-based and group session programmes have reduced ED-related symptoms. There are multiple issues concerning the implementation and maintenance of prevention programmes, including clinician training, costs, attrition rate, and effectiveness over time.

The number of returning migrants of school age in Puerto Rico has increased dramatically in the past five years. This study explored the perceptions of returning migrants and circulating migrant students of teachers, school, and self in Puerto Rico and the United States. The sample of 117 were recent arrivals from the mainland to the southern part of Puerto Rico. The circulating migrant students had more positive attitudes toward teachers, school, and self on the mainland than in Puerto Rico. The returning migrant students expressed a positive feeling toward school, teachers, and self in Puerto Rico.

Enterobius vermicularis, more commonly known as pinworm, is the most common intestinal nematode in the United States, affecting 5% to 15% of the population. Although infection may appear in all age groups and socioeconomic levels, it is most prevalent in preschool and school-age children. Typically, embryonated eggs are ingested and migrate to the duodenum where they hatch and undergo sexual maturation before reaching the cecum. Adult pinworms reside in the cecum, emerge at night through the anus, and migrate to the perianal region where gravid females deposit their eggs and die. The eggs cause anal pruritis, which leads to scratching and accumulation under the fingernails, thereby promoting auto-infection and spread to close contacts.

AbstractThis paper starts out with a theoretical argument, based on panel data, that public mood in general and societal pessimism in particular should be measured from an explicitly temporal perspective. Next, based on a survey among more than 200 Japanese students and a wide array of existing (longitudinal) data sources in three different languages and covering several decades it is shown that public mood in three quite different countries – first and foremost Japan, but also the United States and The Netherlands – is quite apprehensive. In all these three countries societal pessimism can be observed during the past quarter century. Finally, utilizing a MDSD approach a few possible tentative explanations for this observed pessimism are sought.

Black Infant

Infant mortality has been identified as a key public health concern in the United States. Although infant mortality rates (IMRs) in the United States have declined during the past 10 years, the rates among Blacks are more than two times higher as compared with other racial and ethnic groups. This study used focus groups to explore Black men’s awareness and perceptions of the rising IMR in their community. Twenty-five men participated in an initial and follow-up focus group, which revealed that men had limited awareness of infant mortality, reduced sense of personal responsibility for pregnancy outcomes, and perceptions that stress, the age of the mother, and the health care system were responsible for poor birth outcomes. The role of the community and possible interventions to involve and educate men were also explored.

Other Hand

In response to a ‘temperance mentality’ questionnaire, university students from Iran, Bulgaria, the United States, and Italy expressed more support for ‘temperance moralism’ than did students from Canada, Ireland, and the Netherlands. On the other hand, students from all seven countries generally supported ‘non-moralistic drug prohibitionism,’ an attitude that appears more compatible with the contemporary harm-reduction movement. In every sample, students expressed more support for temperance items that were directed towards drugs and alcohol than they did for items that were directed at alcohol alone. We argue that understanding the “temperance mentality” on a transnational level may help society to avoid repeating some of the drug policy excesses of the past.

Knut Hamsun

 This historical overview examines how the literary works of Knut Hamsun have been adapted into films over the past century, from early silent cinema to the digital age. It traces how different national and transnational cinemas have appropriated the author's texts at different historical moments. Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, for example, took a keen interest in two Third Reich adaptations of Hamsun novels (Victoria and Pan) in the 1930s. Pan remains the Hamsun novel most frequently adapted, while Henning Carlsen's 1966 pan-Scandinavian version of Hunger is arguably the artistic highpoint to date. Nations producing or co-producing Hamsun films include Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Russia, the United States, and Canada (Guy Maddin's 1997 Twilight of the Ice Nymphs). Hamsun at the movies has shown remarkable elasticity, crossing multiple borders, and being appropriated by disparate national cinemas for surprisingly diverse ends.

Nonwhite Population

We are grateful to two authorities for the following replies to Dr. Nickey. First, Dr. Moriyama: Is the differential between the infant mortality rate for the United States (22.4 per 1,000 live births in 1967) and the corresponding rate for Sweden (13.7), the Netherlands (13.4), Norway (14.8), and other countries of low mortality real?1, 2 One possible reason for the large differential is the contribution that the nonwhite population makes to the relatively high mortality rate for the United States.

Tuberculosis Mortality

Tuberculosis mortality in the United States has declined sharply during the past three quarters of a century, from 200 per 100,000 population in 1900 to 1.8 per 100,000 population in 1974.1 The number of persons infected with tuberculosis has decreased proportionately. Whereas even 40 years ago the rate of tuberculin sensitivity among youths of high school age (15 to 19 years) was approximately 32%, a 1958 to 1969 survey of more than a million Navy recruits 17 to 21 years of age showed that only slightly more than 5% were reactors.2 From these statistics it would appear that eradication of tuberculosis in the United States is imminent.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in the United States. All age groups are at risk for TBI, but there is a larger occurrence among school-age children and young adults. No matter the severity of a student’s injury, he or she can benefit from music education, whether listening to music, singing, or performing on an instrument. Students can engage in music listening assignments that include selected pieces of music or music that an ensemble is currently rehearsing. For students with mild TBI who are able, performing music has also been shown to be beneficial.
