The phenomenon of the poor quality of parental care for children with disabilities makes resilience one of the psychological capital that contributes to improving the quality of care. This study describes how through a muhasabah intervention in Blimbingrejo Village, Nalumsari District, Jepara Regency. The purpose of this study was to provide information for parents of children with special needs about muhasabah interventions in developing the resilience abilities of parents when carrying out their care. The urgency of this research is to reduce parenting stress experienced by parents because of the developmental barriers of their children. This research is qualitative with a case study approach through in-depth interviews and observation techniques. The study results explain that the condition of children with special needs is often a stressor for their parents. However, parents can live with complete steadfastness as a form of their resilience. The pattern of resilience formed is supported mainly by thinking about what they are trying to do. There are indications of the meaning of resilience factors in the practice of muhasabah in the form of the ability to regulate emotions, develop optimism and empathy, control impulses and causal analysis, good self-efficacy and take wisdom as an indication of aspects of the reaching out process. The results of this study are helpful information in developing the concept and practice of caring for children with special needs.

This chapter examines the implications of projects abandonment with test of the Ricardian Equivalence on the failed Lagos metro line project in Nigeria as case study. The main variables used are Rail and Pipeline Output, Budget Deficit, Interest Rate, Corruption Index, Savings and some others. The study results on the Ricardian Equivalence hypothesis on deficit financing of projects using Vector auto-regression model from 1980-2012 indicate that no causal influence holds in Nigeria. Results show that poor planning, corruption, political factors, poor support infrastructures, poor quality of local resources, etc. were attributable. The results of the Impulse Response tests reveal that Rail and Pipeline output and a few others responded positively to shocks in the short run (years 1-2), and negatively to others. The result affirms that Government should privatize the railway system, legislate against project abandonment and ensure that projects are adequately planned, funded, insured and insulated against corruption.

European Markets

Due to the ongoing problems with the quality of foods in European markets, the public authorities try to take some measures, which would reduce the amount of substandard food products offered to consumers in retailing. Three such measures – the higher frequency of quality checks conducted by public authorities, the imposition of some import barriers on the foodstuffs from countries known for their frequent breaches of quality standards in the food industry and the establishment of an information platform serving for the public pillorying of poor quality food – are studied in this paper. The experimental policy analysis was used as the research method. The results obtained show that only the higher frequency of quality checks can improve the situation of consumers. This measure is also effective in punishing the dishonest retailers, while not harming the honest ones.

Skilled Migrant

Research shows that highly skilled migrant women often have poor quality jobs or no employment. This paper addresses two research gaps. First, it provides a comparative perspective that examines differences and commonalities in the quality of employment of four highly skilled groups: migrant- and non-migrant women and men. Four statistical indicators are examined to grasp these differences: employment rates, income, adequacy of paid work, and employment status. The results highlight the role of gender and country of birth: Swiss-born men experience the best employment quality, and foreign-born women the worst. Second, it offers a family perspective to study how the employment trajectories of skilled migrant women develop in time and place in relation to their partners’. The qualitative life-course analysis indicates that skill advancement is more favourable for migrant and non-migrant men than for migrant and non-migrant women. However, skill advancement for migrant women depends greatly on the strategies enacted by domestic partners about how to divide paid employment and family work, and where to live. The statistical study draws on recent data from Swiss labour market surveys. The life-course analysis focuses on 77 biographical interviews with tertiary-educated individuals. Participatory Minga workshops are used to validate the study results.

The developing activity of Roszdravnadzor concerning implementation of its powers serves as a serious obstacle for intrusion of falsified counterfeit and of poor quality medications into Russian market. However, support of population of Russia with high quality medications continues to be a serious and until now unresolvable problem for public authorities. The study was carried out to evaluate the actual system of measures concerning public controlling quality of medications. The system is implemented by Roszdravnadzor and its territorial boards in all federal okrugs following by selective sampling of medications. The study included data from the web-sites of Minzdrav of Russia, Minzdrav of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alaniya, Roszdravnadzor, The Republican center of control and certification of medications (hereinafter referred to as the Republican center). The techniques of repetition-free sampling was applied in sociological survey. The total of processed questionnaires amounted to 20. The study was carried out in the North ossetia state medical academy during 201402016 conjointly with the Republican center. The particular shortcomings of actual practice of implementation of state selective control of quality of medications were investigated. The necessity of further enhancement of the system of state control and surveillance at actual stage of development of administrative reform is reasoned. It is proved that at the regional level a new concept of coordination of interdependent structures is needed concerning territorial boards of Roszdravnadzor, the Russian Federation subjects' departments of licensing and regional expertise organizations on issues of quality of pharmaceutical production. The conclusion is drawn that the normative legal base requires further development. The core issues are organization and implementation of controlling compliance of medications in circulation with established obligatory requirements to quality, including in the course of selected control of quality of medications. The development of conceptual apparatus is needed for comprehension and interpretation of processes related to implementation of selective control of quality of medications.

Teacher training is still a problematic subject in projects to reform education systems. Through the quest for quality education, it has experienced major changes in different contexts in connection with the process of "professionalization". The different mechanisms of this training must allow teachers to acquire disciplinary knowledge and develop skills in order to be able to build quality teaching and learning. In addition, there seems to be a relationship between the effectiveness of the teacher and the level of quality of his training. Study results have revealed particularly poor performance levels among students whose teachers are characterized by “poor quality education and uncontrolled knowledge in the subjects they teach” (Bidjang, S. G. 2005). In other words: the effectiveness of teaching depends at least to a significant extent on what "the teachers bring". Morocco in the last reform took up professionalization and universitarization as new approaches to teacher training. However, despite the progress recorded in terms of educational training provision, the reform has not been accompanied through strategic measures. Training in Morocco appears to suffer from a number of shortcomings. The objective of the study is to discover, thanks to the comparison of three training systems (Finland , France and Morocco) if there are characteristics which would allow us to understand the relative "advantages" of one system compared to another, and to what extent such a comparison would help us improve Morocco's. The country in question are considered to have the best performing education systems globally. This involves carrying out a comparative documentary study, that is to say analysing existing documents on teacher training systems by comparing them in the mentioned context.

AbstractIn recent years, the problems facing the national health system have always been brought to the forefront of public life. Poor quality of medical services, lack of staff or hospital infrastructure were most often linked to the underfunding of the medical system, but also to the inefficient use of allocated financial resources. The economic results, quantified also in the financial resources that feed the public budgets, are the mirror of the possibilities that the public authorities have in the financing of the public sectors and, implicitly, of the health system. As the current COVID-19 crisis affects most economic and social areas, numerous questions arise about the size of possible losses, future developments and possible ways of recovery.

AbstractDespite the high number of total edentulism cases in Brazil, no studies have yet examined the characteristics of people with edentulism in Amapá. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate and compared the satisfaction and quality of life of edentulous users of total tissue-supported and total implant-supported prostheses in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil. Two hundred ninety-nine users of total tissue-supported prostheses and 48 users of total implant-supported prostheses were surveyed using two questionnaires: The Oral Health Impact Profile-14Br and a visual analog scale of satisfaction. The means and standard deviations were used to characterize the quantitative variables and absolute and relative frequencies were used to characterize the qualitative variables as well as certain quantitative variables. When evaluating users’ satisfaction according to the type of prosthesis, we found that users of implant-supported prostheses were 100% satisfied with both upper and lower prostheses. By contrast, among users of tissue-supported prostheses, 90% reported being satisfied with the upper prosthesis, while 56% demonstrated some dissatisfaction with the lower removable prosthesis. All users of implant-supported prostheses reported good quality of life; by contrast, only 5% of users of tissue-supported prostheses reported good quality of life, while 73% reported a reasonable quality of life and 22% a poor quality of life. To our knowledge, this is the first study on this topic in Amapá. The study results are clinically relevant for accurately determining the quality of life of these prosthesis users.
