Abstract
Direct and indirect evidence of falls of extraterrestrial matter in west-central Poland (Great Poland Lowland) is proved historically and environmentally. The chronological list of such events has historical (documents, medieval paintings, newspaper reports), geological and morphological documentation. The most important are the environmental sites of Morasko/Oborniki, Przełazy and Jankowo Dolne, where metallic meteorites were recognized. These meteorite falls represent a series of cosmic events: the Morasko fall was c. 5000 years BP, the Przełazy fall was c. 10000 years BP, and the age of the Jankowo Dolne fall is not fully documented.
In this article, which is an integral part of our announcement published in the previous number of this publication, we examined commuting of school children and youth toward Cacak as well as from Cacak toward surrounding settlements in which, according to the census results in 2002, 2,330 pupils and students took part. The volume of pupils? and students? daily migrations of Cacak is approximately 4.3 times lower compared to the convergent and divergent daily migrations of its labor. That is why this type of continual daily migration has less importance in integration and transformation of the settlement network of Cacak and neighboring functional centers.
In this article presentsthe key findings of health status assessments of urban and rural school children
aged 7–16 years based on the materials of comprehensive medical examination and statistical reporting
in dynamics 2010–2014. Based on the study results were determined the health status groups and
leading causes of morbidity among surveyed school children studying in urban and rural educational
institutions of Mongolia. Study results showed that the number of children classified in third group of
health was increased with the age of students and incidence of diseases of respiratory, digestive,
neurological systems, and diseases of ear nose thought and vision organs were more common among the
urban and rural school children of Mongolia.
Abstract
Objective: Effectiveness of child to child approach on practice of hand washing.
Design: Quantitative evaluative research approach & pre experimental - One group pre-test post-test design was used.
Setting: This study was conducted in a selected rural school (Aided higher primary school, Pavoor- Harekala) at Mangalore.
Participants: The populations covered were school children in the age group 9-10 years who met the inclusion criteria and studying in a rural school at Mangalore. 75 students from Aided higher primary school within the age 9-10 years and studying in 4th to 5th class were selected by using purposive sampling.
Main outcome measures: Main outcome measure was whether the school children are able to practice the hand washing technique. Data collection was collected by using Demographic proforma and Checklist (to assess the practice of hand washing).
Results: Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The mean post-test score on hand washing of group 1 (12.46) and group 2 (12.05) was higher as compared with pre-test score of group I (12.46) and group II (12.05) and the “p” value is <0.05. So the child to child approach was effective to teach the children hand washing technique. There was no association between the selected demographic variables and pre-test hand washing scores
Conclusions: This study concludes that through proper training and motivation by peer group, that is child to child approach was an effective method to teach the children healthy habits like hand washing and other common issues concerning children.
