AbstractFever is a condition where body temperature exceeds normal limit, caused by an increase in the temperature-regulating center in the hypothalamus. Warm compress is an easy way to lower body temperature. This type of compress involves a clean cloth soaked in warm water, which is applied to the skin. The purpose of this case study is to evaluate a warm compress method in reducing fever. Two preschool-aged children with fever were treated by warm compresses. The results of this case study showed that the first and second patients experienced a decrease in body temperature after warm compresses. Body temperature for the first patient was 39ºC and dropped to normal (37ºC). meanwhile, the second patient temperature was 38,7ºC dropped to 36,5ºC. The conclusion of this study is warm compress can reduce body temperature in children with fever. Nurses or patients may be albe to apply warm compresses as a first ald in reducing fever.Keywords: Preschool Age Children, Fever, Warm Compress AbstrakDemam adalah kondisi suhu tubuh melebihi batas normal yang diakibatkan oleh meningkatnya pusat pengatur suhu di hipotalamus.

ObjectiveTo explore how Brazilian-born immigrant mothers living in the USA obtain information about physical activity (PA) and screen time (ST) behaviours for their preschool-aged children.Research designFocus group discussions (FGDs) were used to gain an in-depth understanding of research topics. All FGDs were audio-recorded and professionally transcribed verbatim. The Portuguese transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis, an iterative process of coding the data in phases to create meaningful patterns.ParticipantsThirty-seven Brazilian-born immigrant mothers of preschool-age children.SettingThis study was conducted in two cities in Massachusetts (MA). Participants were recruited from two predominantly Brazilian churches, local Brazilian businesses and community-based social and health services organisations in the Greater Boston area in MA.ResultsAnalyses revealed that the mothers participating in this study did not initially actively seek out information about PA and ST for their preschool-age children, but that they received unsolicited information about these behaviours from multiple sources including their child’s paediatrician, Women, Infant and Children (WIC) programme staff, members of their social network of Brazilian friends and the Brazilian media. Mothers reported that this unsolicited information increased their knowledge about the importance of making sure their children were physically active and not participating in excessive ST. This increased awareness led mothers to actively seek information about PA and ST behaviours via the internet and through interpersonal communication with fellow Brazilian friends and family.ConclusionsGiven the value Brazilian immigrant mothers placed on the advice of their paediatricians and WIC staff, interventions should consider involving these healthcare professionals, possibly through including endorsement (eg, prescription for PA and maximum ST). More research is needed to ensure Brazilian immigrant mothers’ health and media literacy including their ability to navigate the online environment and to discern the accuracy and quality of information from various web sites.

Flight Initiation

Flight initiation distance (predator–prey distance when escape begins) increases as predation risk increases. Prey should have longer flight initiation distance when their background, movement, or current posture reduces crypsis. Flight initiation distance of ectotherms may increase at lower body temperature to compensate for slower running speed. However, for cryptic prey, fleeing might increase the probability of being detected. The Round-tailed Horned Lizard ( Phrynosoma modestum Girard, 1852) is eucryptic and resembles small stones. We predicted that flight initiation distance by P. modestum is shorter among stones than on uniform sand. Because movement and upright posture disrupt crypsis, we predicted that flight initiation distance is greater after movement and when standing than when still and lying on the ground. As predicted, flight initiation distances were shorter on a rocky than sandy area, when lying flat than standing, and while immobile than after moving. We measured running speed and flight initiation distance to determine relationships among body temperature, speed, and escape decisions. Running speed and flight initiation distance were reduced at lower body temperature, suggesting that crypsis reinforced by immobility is more advantageous than longer flight initiation distance for cool, slow lizards. The lizards adjusted escape decisions to current effectiveness of crypsis and escape ability.

The One

Film and media education in the case of preschool-age-children is a particularly complicated matter. There are many different factors, including the question of methodology, challenges which stem from the learning abilities and skills of young children that should be discussed. The article on the one hand tries to indicate the main obstacle that preschool audiovisual education in Poland deals with. But on the other hand it presents and describes as a case study the New Horizons Association projects dedicated to children age 3–7. As the New Horizons are a nongovernmental organisation, the kind of solution they propose does not solve all the problems and is limited and restricted. In the final part of the article I critically try to refer to, what is still for many, an exceptional proposition.

Social investments are important for a child’s development and future success. Parental leaves and Early Childhood Education and Care services (ECEC) are among main forms of social investment, contributing to child poverty reduction and increasing equality, as well as underpinning the potential for skilled workers in the future. The aim of the paper is to analyse availability of the main forms of social investment in preschool age children - early childhood education services and parental leaves, in Vidzeme region (Latvia) for a case study. An analysis of policy documents, parents’ surveys at pre-school institutions, interviews with education institution representatives and local authorities regarding education and social matters were conducted in the research. The support system for parents is still dominated by the “passive” form of support system. However, social investment policies are becoming increasingly more important. This is achieved by supporting parents' access to social investment services and by increasing the amount of parental leave benefits. In 2013-2015 funding for child-care and family policy has increased. Expenditure growth was mostly affected by an increase in the allowance for childcare and the minimum parental allowance. The availability of ECEC is moderate, but since 2009 private institutions and since 2013 babysitting services have been co-funded at the national level till May 31, 2016 to improve it. Since September 2015 a 3-year innovative project “Vouchers for the provision of child minder services to workers with nonstandard work schedules” has been introduced too, to promote parental employment and work and family balance. In Vidzeme region, for example, service availability is additionally stimulated by free transport services, ECEC fee discounts for poor, low-income and large families, etc. Results show that the availability of ECEC has been improved and there has been signs of positive changes in children’s development. Nevertheless, the availability of ECEC is moderate, and in some poorer municipalities in Latvia Matthew effects can be spotted – the middle and highest strata of society use services to a higher extend then the low-income society.

Introduction: Post-cardiac arrest pyrexia is associated with poor outcomes following successful resuscitation and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Prior studies have used highest recorded temperature and duration of fever as markers for the severity of pyrexic events. The objective of this research was to evaluate the association of body temperature and survival to discharge. We hypothesized that a lower body temperature “dose” in the 8 days post-arrest would be associated with a higher likelihood of survival. Methods: Using consecutive cardiac arrest cases from a single healthcare system with integrated electronic medical record (EMR), we identified cardiac arrest patients with ROSC. Vital signs for these patients, including body temperature, were queried from the EMR and linked to individual records. We included all temperature measures within 8 days of the cardiac arrest event. Patients with fewer than 5 temperature values during the study period were excluded. For each temperature observation the difference between the recorded temperature value and 37 degrees Celsius, the time since the last observation, and the product of these values was calculated. For each patient, the total ‘dose’ was calculated as the sum of these dose products. The resulting measure has units of degree*hours and represents a measure of duration about or below normal. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between body temperature dose and survival to discharge, controlling for age and sex. Results: Between 3/2006 and 3/2016, 352 patients were linked to serial body temperature measurements. 58% were male, mean age was 61 ± 16 years, and 52% survived to discharge. The median body temperature dose measure was 28 degree*hours, (IQR: -0.6 - 98, min: -740, max 390). Results from the multiple logistic regression indicated that for every 10 degree*hour increase in patient body temperature, the odds of survival decreased 3.1 percent (OR: 0.969, p = 0.01) when controlling for age and sex. Conclusion: In this study, lower serial body temperature ‘dose’ was associated with increased odds of survival. These findings are consistent with international guidance around the strong avoidance of fever in post-arrest patients.
