A identificação dos fatores que causam a pobreza multidimensional é imprescindível para a obtenção de uma visão apurada dos problemas enfrentados pela sociedade decorrentes desse problema. Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral foi mensurar a pobreza multidimensional e analisar a sua evolução para os municípios de Mato Grosso do Sul nos anos de 1991, 2000 e 2010. Foi criado o Índice de Pobreza Humana Municipal (IPHM) a partir das variáveis de saúde, educação e acesso a serviços básicos domiciliares. Os resultados apontam que os municípios de Japorã, Tacuru, Paranhos e Juti permanecem entre os mais pobres no período estudado. Os municípios de Campo Grande, Chapadão do Sul, São Gabriel do Oeste e Dourados permanecem entre os menos pobres. Conclui-se que houve melhoria no bem-estar social dos munícipes, como consequência de políticas públicas adotadas para o desenvolvimento e qualidade de vida da população. ABSTRACT The identification of the factors that cause the multidimensional poverty is essential for obtaining an accurate view of the problems faced by society arising from this reality. In this sense, the main objective was to measure the multidimensional poverty and to analyze its evolution for the municipalities of Mato Grosso do Sul in the years 1991, 2000 and 2010. The Municipal Human Poverty Index (MHPI) was created based on health, education and access to basic household services variables. The results indicate that the municipalities of Japorã, Tacuru, Paranhos and Juti remain among the poorest in the studied period. The municipalities of Campo Grande, Chapadão do Sul, São Gabriel do Oeste and Dourados remain among the poorest. It was concluded that there was an improvement in the social well-being of the counties, as consequence of public policies adopted for the development and quality of life of the population. Keywords: Multidimensional Poverty; Poverty Index; Regional Disparities.

The Relationship

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.

Negative Impacts

Because of the increasing number of transgender people requesting speech-language pathology services, because having gender-incongruent voice and communication has major negative impacts on an individual's social participation and well-being, and because voice and communication training is supported by an improving evidence-base, it is becoming more common for universities to include transgender-specific theoretical and clinical components in their speech-language pathology programs. This paper describes the theoretical and clinical education provided to speech-language pathology students at La Trobe University in Australia, with a particular focus on the voice and communication training program offered by the La Trobe Communication Clinic. Further research is required to determine the outcomes of the clinic's training program in terms of student confidence and competence as well as the effectiveness of training for transgender clients.

Extremely Preterm Infants

Current research on feeding outcomes after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) suggests a need to critically look at the early underpinnings of persistent feeding problems in extremely preterm infants. Concepts of dynamic systems theory and sensitive care-giving are used to describe the specialized needs of this fragile population related to the emergence of safe and successful feeding and swallowing. Focusing on the infant as a co-regulatory partner and embracing a framework of an infant-driven, versus volume-driven, feeding approach are highlighted as best supporting the preterm infant's developmental strivings and long-term well-being.
