Second Chance

Since 2009, more than 840 Second Chance Act grant awards have been made to government and nonprofit agencies, and taxpayers have paid nearly 700 million dollars in Second Chance grants. Additionally, $154 million has been spent on probation and parole supervision agencies and staff through the Justice Reinvestment Initiative. Yet, our probation and parole population continue growing! Given the amount of money taxpayers have invested in programs, it seems nothing works. In the 20th century, it was assumed that the use of randomized and control-group research designs and complex statistical analysis and state-of-the-art computer software would be sufficient to find what “works.” But, we have not yet found what “works.” This chapter asks two questions: 1) Is it the case that “nothing works”? or 2) Is it the case that our research methods can't measure what “works”?

We compared the prevalence of ultrasound signs of adenomyosis in women with endometriosis who underwent surgery to those who were managed conservatively. This was a retrospective study of women evaluated at a tertiary endometriosis referral center who underwent 2D/3D transvaginal ultrasound. Adenomyosis diagnosis was based on the presence of at least three sonographic signs. The study group subsequently underwent laparoscopic surgery while the control group continued conservative management. Statistical analysis compared the two groups for demographics, symptoms, clinical data, and sonographic findings. The study and control groups included 244 and 158 women, respectively. The presence of any, 3+, or 5+ sonographic signs of adenomyosis was significantly more prevalent in the study group (OR = 1.93–2.7, p < 0.004, 95% CI; 1.24–4.09). After controlling for age, for all findings but linear striations, the OR for having a specific feature was higher in the study group. Women in the study group with ≥ 5 sonographic signs of adenomyosis had more than twice the risk of experiencing infertility (OR = 2.31, p = 0.012, 95% CI; 1.20–4.45). Sonographic signs of adenomyosis are more prevalent in women with symptomatic endometriosis who underwent surgery compared with those who continued conservative management. Women with 5+ findings have a significantly increased risk of infertility. Adenomyosis on ultrasound should be considered in the management decisions regarding these patients.

Background: Scientific research agrees that parenting, especially during their early childhood years, is one of the greatest influences on children. Early childhood interactions form the basis of brain construction and scientists now realize that the contact between infants with their parents or guardians is a significant component in this brain growth process. Parents who are trained to support the wellbeing and wellbeing of their young child with the awareness and expertise they need. The multi-disciplinary and transnational parenting literature explicitly shows that parents are one of the most important variables in the growth of infants. Aim: The study aim is to assess the effectiveness of positive parenting teaching on the development of self-esteem among primary caregivers of pre-adolescence. Methodology: It is an interventional study and the primary giver of preadolescence are the participants of this study with intervention and control group. The primary giver of preadolescence will be selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and the sampling technique will be selected as non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data will be collected by demographic variables of participants and the modified self-esteem scale will be used to assess the self-esteem level of primary caregivers and preadolescence. Sample Size: 100(50-intervention group and 50-control group). Results: For statistical analysis of demographic figures will be going used frequency and mean, mean percentage, standard deviation, descriptive and inferential statistics. Positive parenting teaching may be very effective for the development of self-esteem among primary caregivers of pre-adolescence.  Conclusion: The conclusion will be drawn from the statistical analysis.

Abstract Millar, R. B. 2010. Reliability of size-selectivity estimates from paired-trawl and covered-codend experiments. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 67: 530–536. To determine the size selectivity of a trawl codend from sea trials, the researcher must choose between using paired (experimental and control) and covered-codend gears. The paired-gear method has the advantage that the experimental codend can be deployed without modification, but has the disadvantage of a more complex statistical analysis. It has previously been claimed that this analysis is inherently biased regardless of sampling effort. This claim is shown to be erroneous, and it is seen that both methods produce estimators that have negligible bias under typical experimental conditions. However, paired-gear analyses were seen to produce estimators having greater statistical variability than the covered-codend analyses. Over the range of simulations employed herein, it was found that the paired-gear method generally had moderately higher (ratio of 1.3–1.9) statistical error for estimation of the length of 50% retention, when fished with equal sampling effort as the covered-codend gear. Paired-gear estimates of the selection range could have considerably higher standard error than covered-codend estimates (ratio of 1.6–4.2), with the highest ratio being for a scenario where the selection curve was asymmetric and sampling effort consisted of ten replicate deployments where the number of measured fish was restricted to 250.

Introduction:- There are no studies in the literature on the combination of kinesitherapy and ultrasound in children with bronchial asthma. Objective:- To compare the effect of the combination of kinesitherapy and ultrasound in children with bronchial asthma compared to a control group without rehabilitation. Material and methods:- 24 children (age 9.63 ± 3.56 years) with bronchial asthma were followed for 10 days (5 days as inpatients and 5 days as outpatients). They were randomized into two identical groups - physiotherapeutic and control. Both groups were treated with standard pharmacotherapy. The physiotherapy group was further treated with kinesitherapy and ultrasound. Spirometric and anthropometric parameters were recorded at the beginning and end of the therapeutic course. The ratios between actual and expected spirometric parameters, adjusted for all anthropometric parameters, were included in the statistical analysis. Results:- In both groups, the ratios between the actual and the expected spirometric parameters improved significantly after 10 days of treatment compared to before (P<0.05). The improvement after treatment was significantly greater in the physiotherapeutic compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:- In the 10-day treatment of children with bronchial asthma, the combination of kinesitherapy and ultrasound has a significant therapeutic effect, building on that of pharmacotherapy.
