Introduction: Advertising today is increasingly seen to be targeting children as they can be easily persuaded. The influence on them is reinforced by children&rsquo;s difficulty in perceiving messages critically, in distinguishing the real from the imaginary, in their great confidence in messages from the media and popular characters and personalities, and in their inability to recognize risk and their propensity for imitation. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of television advertising on children&rsquo;s nutritional preferences and the intensity of dental caries in children aged 6 to 12 years.Materials and methods: The study included 277 children (158 boys and 119 girls) aged 6 to 12 years from different schools in Sofia. A survey was used to assess the nutritional preferences of these children who are under the influence of watching television commercials. The DMF (T+t) index introduced by Klein, Palmer &amp; Knutson (1938) was used to assess the intensity of dental caries. A correlation analysis was performed between the time spent watching TV and the development of dental caries. Results: Many children buy on their own or ask their parents to buy advertised sweet candies, fizzy drinks and fruit juices, which are a risk factor for the development of dental caries. The results show that the longer they spend in front of the TV, the stronger the pronounced caries activity in children, supported by a statistically significant difference (p<0.001), Rho (277)=0.438. Conclusions: The studied children aged 6 to 12 years have unhealthy dietary preferences for low molecular weight carbohydrate foods, increasing their oral risk profile. Prolonged standing in front of the TV screen correlated with an increase in the intensity of dental caries in half of the children.

Objectives: To analyze the association between exposure to mass media and use of contraceptive.Methods: In this cross sectional descriptive study, 387 married males of Hatiya VDC were randomly selected. This study uses semi-structured questionnaire to acquire information regarding background character of respondents and the exposure of family planning message to mass media.Results: Both print and electronic media were found major reproductive health information dissemination tools. Exposure was positively related to age, education level, income, partner approval and discussed family planning with partner. There was no significant difference in exposure based on number of living children.Conclusion: Findings from this study are consistent with the interpretation that mass media promotion of the family planning message motivated sexual partners to discuss use of the contraceptives, and that discussion exerted a strong influence on their intention to use it. The programmatic implications of these findings are that multiple media channels should continue to be used to promote family planning and other reproductive health issues. Priority should be given to media channels that reach large numbers of the intended audience, but supporting channels (such as print and interpersonal communication) should also be included in the media mix.Key words: Mass media; ContraceptivesDOI: 10.3126/ajms.v1i1.2928Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.1(1) 2010 p.9-11

Social responsibility information disclosed by listed companies is an important way to transfer non-financial information to the stock market, which affects the level of stock price synchronicity. In order to explore whether Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) information is valuable in improving capital market pricing efficiency, this paper conducted empirical research based on a sample of China Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies in years 2010–2015. The results showed that: (1) Overall, there is a significant positive correlation between CSR information and stock price synchronicity; (2) under different disclosure motives, there is no significant difference in the impact of CSR on stock price synchronicity; (3) Securities analysts and institutional investors can negatively regulate the positive relationship between CSR and stock price synchronicity, while the media will intensify the positive effect of CSR on stock price synchronicity. This research is of great significance in promoting the fulfillment of CSR and improving capital market pricing efficiency.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the impact of the “Dentistry for Infants” early dental care program run by Jacareí County (SP) by comparing the caries of individuals participating and not participating in this program. Methods: In total, 300 children between 0 and 48 months old were assessed in the following two groups: infants not participating in the program (G1, n = 100) and infants participating in the program (G2, n = 200). Each group was further divided according to age in subgroups of 0 to 24 months and 25 to 48 months. All children were clinically assessed for carious lesions using the visual-tactile method. The data were statistically analyzed using a paired Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney test, and χ2 test at a 5% significance level. Results: There was a significant difference in the prevalence (P) and mean index of deciduous teeth (deft) (C) that were decayed, indicated for extraction and filled, and the highest values were observed in G1 (p < 0.0001). The values were as follows: PG1, 73%; PG2, 22%; CG1, 3.45 ± 3.84; and CG2, 0.66 ± 1.57. Conclusion: Participating in the program positively impacted the infants’ oral health.

Advertisements sell a lifestyle, a feeling, and a behavior as well as a product to the viewer. Competition in the market is so intense that they feel as much as the rational utility of the product, and they become marketable. For this reason, the child has been turned into a consumable object. When the ways in which children are represented in the media are examined, it is often the case that the opinions expressed by the children are used to make adults laugh, or the use of children's miserable photographs and descriptions of emotional exploitation of children is popularized, if there is no contribution from the child's self-esteem or adult's respect for the child. In this study, the representation of childhood, which is turned into a consumption object in the media, is explained in detail. In the content of the study, the advertisement was briefly defined, the concept of child and childhood clarified, and then how the child was represented in television commercials in Turkey was shown.

Background: Ageing is a continuous accumulative ordinary physiological phenomena occurs upon all organs and body structures including saliva by its constituents which can influence the caries process, for that this study was conducted to determine the impact of ageing on selected chemical composition of saliva and their effects on dental caries experience characteristics at different age groups among apparently healthy men. Materials and method: A descriptive comparative study was conducted to compare between three study samples (young, middle and old age adults), thirty male in each study insert, aged (20 years, 40 years and 60 years) respectively. They were selected from private health center in Baghdad - Iraq, from the mid of November 2017until the end of February 2018, where they subjected to complete body investigations to confirm their health status, followed by thorough general body history and oral examination. Caries experience was recorded according to the criteria of WHO in1987. Un-stimulated saliva was collected according to Navazesh and Kumer and analyzed chemically to determine the level of calcium ions and alkaline phosphatase. All data then statistically analyzed by using SPSS version 22. Results: The current study, showed that the caries experience represented by DMFs increased with increasing age, by which the highest mean value of DMFs was established in the oldest age (60.37± 31.39) and the lowest mean value was noted among the youngest age (7.27±8.02). A significant differences existed between all study samples (p≤0.05). However, the missing surfaces represented the largest proportion of DMFs value when compared to Ds and Fs among all ages Iin the current study, with significant differences (p≤0.05) was followed by the decay fraction that found to be increased with age but with no significant difference. Salivary Calcium ions showed decreasing with increasing age with statically significant differences among different study samples while salivary alkaline phosphatase was increased with increasing age with no significant differences. Concerning the caries experience among the study samples, the salivary Ca+2 ions inversely correlated while alkaline phosphates correlated positively with caries experience. Conclusion: there is a significant age related changes on the selected chemical constituents of saliva that could affect the caries experience

The society of "Western civilization" is a consumer society. A special role belongs here to the media, which have become an inseparable element in the life of a modern man. Their universality, as well as rapid development have caused that they deeply penetrated various areas of social life, becoming available not only for adults but also for children from their early age. The life of contemporary children is very strongly associated with the mass media, and the media have become an extremely important link in the process of socialization. The range and influence of the media are not only growing, but they are also completely different than they used to be. In addition to many functions that the media meet, they are also an important carrier for advertising. Children and young people can be both the recipients of the advertisement and its active participants. More and more advertising messages are directly or indirectly addressed to minors. Advertising affects an important cognitive sphere of a child and its interpersonal and social relations. A child left on the impact of advertising, accepts its content uncritically. This leads to the formation of many defective and, unfortunately, lasting beliefs that affect the formation of a child’s personality, the system of beliefs and values. The following text aims to present, based on the literature of the subject, a broad spectrum of advertising impact on a child, with a particular emphasis on television advertising. My assumption is to show the problem from the perspective of social sciences, including sociology. For this reason, I am not concentrating only on the psychological dimension of the phenomenon but I am also trying to outline important aspects of socio-cultural reality in which the process of socialization of child consumption takes place. This is a review article. The basis of the scientific workshop is the research - analysis of the secondary media with regard to reports, publications, newsletters, catalogues and information relating to the influence of media on consumer behavior of children, both in Poland and in some western societies in the world. I hope that the article will help to draw attention to the problem not only of the communities involved in psycho-social aspects of a child's development, but will also increase public awareness of the impact of media advertising on children.

Aim: Prison is an especially difficult environment for promoting oral health and leads to the exacerbation of unhealthy behaviors. This study set out to assess the impact of incarceration on nutritional status and oral health among the male prison inmates of Central Jail of Jaipur city, Rajasthan, India. Material and method: A cross sectional study was conducted among 181 male inmates. Dental caries and periodontal status were assessed by using modified the Decayed Missing Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) and Loss of Attachment (LOA) index as per the WHO methodology 1997. Nutritional status was assessed by Body Mass Index (BMI) and weight (kg)/height (m2). Results: Out of 181 inmates, 141 (77.90%) had normal BMI. The majority (n=128, 70.70%) of inmates were incarcerated for less than 6 years. A significant difference (P<0.05) was found between age and periodontal status. A significant difference was observed (P<0.05) in the CPI score 3 and LOA 0 and 1 score. However, no significant difference (P>0.05) was observed in DMFT and period of incarceration. Age was the significant (P<0.001) risk factor for CPI and LOA. Discussion: Dental caries and periodontal health deteriorates with age and period of incarceration. Oral hygiene maintenance along with comprehensive oral care can be accomplished by establishing dental care facilities in prisons.

Stress in caregivers may affect the healthcare recipients receive. We examined the impact of stress experienced by 45 adult caregivers of their elderly demented parents. The participants completed a 32-item questionnaire about the impact of experienced stress. The questionnaire also asked about interventions that might help to reduce the impact of stress. After exploratory factor analysis, we reduced the 32-item questionnaire to 13 items. Results indicated that caregivers experienced stress, anxiety, and sadness. Also, emotional, but not financial or professional, well-being was significantly impacted. There was no significant difference between the impact of caregiver stress on members from the sandwich generation and those from the nonsandwich generation. Meeting with a social worker for resource availability was identified most frequently as a potentially helpful intervention for coping with the impact of stress.

The Impact

Despite several studies investigating the impact of sex and violence in television on consumer behavior and memory for products in commercials, results remain inconsistent and debated. The purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of television violence and sex on memory for commercials and willingness to buy products. Two hundred twelve young adults were assigned to watch either a sexual, violent, combined sexual and violent or neutral television show. Within each show were embedded 12 commercials, four violent, four sexual, and four neutral. Results indicated that violent or sexual content of the television show did not impair memory for commercials or willingness to buy products, and that sexual or violent content in the commercials themselves increased memory for those commercials. Implications for the current study are that violent or sexual shows may adequately function in attracting viewers’ attention, with sexual and violent content in the commercials themselves improving viewers memory for products. Use of violent or sexual content in commercials may thus be useful in advertising for brand recall.
