The Impact

Education is among the critical needs besides the food, shelter and clothing in modern life. Quality education is an effective tool for minimizing poverty and joblessness, enhancing health and dietary standards, and attaining lasting growth. Hence, the study sought to determine the impact of poverty on the quality of education in Haiti. The study was a literature review based. The conclusions were based on reviewing previous studies. The study findings indicated that poverty influences the quality of education. The study noted the significance of education in developing countries could not be overstated. Quality education can be the catalyst needed to pull families and communities out of the cycle of poverty. Knowledge gives children the power to dream of a better future and the confidence required to pursue a complete education, which will help generations to come. The study further ascertained that education makes a significant difference for adults, particularly in day-to-day life, including nutrition, healthcare and gender equity. The poverty levels are potent in influencing the quality of education that the students will receive in the long run. The study recommended adequate mechanisms to ensure the government support children from a poor background. Addressing the academic difficulties children from deprived families will undoubtedly need a broader and bolder method to education policy than the current initiatives to reform schools. The government should make sure that school-age children are enrolled right into compulsory and free primary education. Given that education is a powerful device for minimizing poverty and joblessness, enhancing health and dietary requirements, and attaining sustainable advancement, the Haitian government must inject much more revenue in the education sector, mainly for the poor children to obtain a quality education. The government is required to make sure all learners within its nation have access to education both in rural and in metropolitan places. Keywords: Poverty, Quality of Education, Haiti

The quality of rest will give a good result for the adaptation of the exercise. Exercise is carried out, so that physical condition has improved. The pulse rate is an indicator that can be used to see the process or results of exercise adaptation. If the waking pulse rate is still high, it can be assumed that time is still needed to rest. This study aims to determine the difference in the pulse rate of waking up from samples who sleep more than 6 hours and 6 hours below. The research was carried out by experiment. The sample was given 75% weight training with 12 tools for 12 meetings. Pulse measurement is done independently before and upon waking. Data were analyzed using the T-test. Based on the results, it was reported that 25 people were trying to rest 6 hours down and 47 times resting above 6 hours. Based on the T-test analysis, it was found that there was a significant difference between respondents who slept less than 6 hours and more than 6 hours with a significance of .002 with a mean of -0.8 for those who rested 6 hours and less and 4.6 for those who slept more than 6 hours. This research can be replicated by considering several variables related to the acceleration of recovery, including Vo2Max, blood HB, and it is necessary to consider the differences between sons and daughters.

Abstract Introduction Thalassemia, as the most common chronic hereditary blood disorder in humans, can impose many adverse effects on parents and their affected children. On the other hand, positive thinking is the method or the result of a positive focus on a constructive issue, so by teaching positive thinking, we can improve physical and social function, and promote emotional health and overall quality of life. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of positive thinking training on the quality of life of parents of adolescents with thalassemia. Methods This quasi-experimental study was performed on 52 parents of adolescents with thalassemia who attended Taleghani Hospital in Golestan province, Iran in 2017. Samples were randomly assigned into two groups of intervention and control. The positive thinking training (based on the theory of Martin Seligman) was carried out in the intervention group in 10 (45–60 min) sessions over a 5-week period. Data collection tools in this study were the World Health Organization (WHO) quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) and a demographic information questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS-16 software using independent t-test, the paired t-test and a covariance test. Results The results of paired t-test showed a significant difference in the score of quality of life in intervention group before and after the intervention (p < 0.001). However, this test did not show any significant difference in the control group (p = 0.11). The covariance test, after removing the pre-test score, showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of the score of quality of life, so that 13% of the changes after the intervention were due to the intervention (p = 0.009, η = 0.13). Conclusion The positive thinking training increased the quality of life of parents of adolescents with thalassemia. Therefore, using this program can be an effective way of improving the quality of life of parents. Thus, positive thinking training is suggested to be used as an effective strategy for increasing the quality of life of parents with ill children.

Introduction: Cigarette smoking is a prime risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Chronic smoking results in autonomic dysfunction leading to increased cardiovascular risk in smokers. The present study was planned to study the effect of smoking on the Cardiovascular Autonomic Functions among smokers. Materials and Methods: Fifty male subjects who were in the age group of 25 to 45 years. They were grouped into 25 smokers and 25 non-smokers. The participant subjects were selected among the staff members, residents and the patients from the routine OPD in SVIMS. Prior to study, they were informed about the procedure and the purpose of the study tests and written consents were obtained from them. The Cardiovascular Autonomic Function Tests were assessed by using a POLYGRAPH which was available in the department. Results and Conclusion: After applying the ‘t’-test for the difference between the two sample means, it was observed that there was a highly significant difference between the mean values of the BMI(i.e.p<0.01) and the para-sympathetic function tests among the smokers and the non – smokers(i.e.p<0.00). The Resting Heart Rate had significantly increased and the Deep breathing difference, the postural tachycardial index (Response to standing) and the Valsalva Ratio had significantly decreased in the smokers as compared to those in the non – smokers. After applying the ‘t’-test for the difference between the two sample means, it was observed that there was no significant difference between the mean values of the Postural hypotension test (i.e. p>0.05) and that there was a highly significant difference between the mean values of the Sustained handgrip test in the smokers and the non – smokers (i.e. p<0.00). KEY WORDS: Cardiovascular autonomic function tests, Smoking, Resting heart rate.
