THE Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics was established as a Scientific Committee by action of the Executive Board on April 1, 1954. It was created through due recognition of the importance of nutrition in the welfare of infants, children and adolescents. It had become evident that there should be an authoritative body, particularly concerned with the science and practice of nutrition in the periods of rapid growth which occupy the attention of pediatricians. In this manner it was hoped that special consideration of factors which affect the nutrition of infants, children and adolescents could be emphasized. The Committee should include persons capable of compiling and appraising the pertinent facts and who also would be sensitive to the needs of practitioners and to the position of purveyors of products intended for the nutrition of infants, children and adolescents. This Committee of the Academy shall offer guidance in selecting means of achieving optimal nutrition in those periods of rapid growth. Consultation and cooperation with other existing authoritative bodies are considered desirable. The Executive Board of the Academy on September 29, 1955, defined the scope and functions of the Committee on Nutrition to include: 1. Compilation of the essential facts which are the scientific basis for practical nutrition of infants, children and adolescents. 2. Publication of the findings of the Committee in a form suitable to convey the information to physicians, such as brief reports and commentaries in the official journal and publications of the Academy. This Committee shall concern itself with standards for nutritional requirements, optimal practices and the interpretation of current knowledge of nutrition as these affect infants, children and adolescents.

Summary Main topic of this article is the comparison of the position of a judicial officer in the Czech Republic and in other European countries. First, it briefly presents the reasons why the institution of judicial officers has been (re)introduced to the Czech legal order. Further, it sums up the conception of the position of judicial officer in the Czech legal order, and with respect to actual critical reviews, it compares selected aspects of the conception of judicial officers in other European countries, with a special attention to so-called secondary activities of judicial officers and the issue of remuneration of judicial officers.

Food security and the sustainability of native ecosystems depends on plant-insect interactions in countless ways. Recently reported rapid and immense declines in insect numbers due to climate change, the use of pesticides and herbicides, the introduction of agricultural monocultures, and the destruction of insect native habitat, are all potential contributors to this grave situation. Some researchers are working towards a future where natural insect pollinators might be replaced with free-flying robotic bees, an ecologically problematic proposal. We argue instead that creating environments that are friendly to bees and exploring the use of other species for pollination and bio-control, particularly in non-European countries, are more ecologically sound approaches. The computer simulation of insect-plant interactions is a far more measured application of technology that may assist in managing, or averting, ‘Insect Armageddon' from both practical and ethical viewpoints.

This paper presents the EUROFAMCARE study findings, examining a typology of care situations for family carers of older people, and the interplay of carers with social and health services. Despite the complexity of family caregiving situations across Europe, our analyses determined the existence of seven “caregiving situations,” varying on a range of critical indicators. Our study also describes the availability and use of different support services for carers and care receivers, and carers’ preferences for the characteristics of support services. Our findings have relevance for policy initiatives in Europe, where limited resources need to be more equitably distributed and services should be targeted to caregiving situations reflecting the greatest need, and organized to reflect the preferences of family carers.
