Vision screening at an early age in children is important as it can identify aspects in the visual system that may need to be managed to enable a child to function optimally at school.  The National School Vision Screening Programme was discontinued in many provinces of South Africa, often due to a lack of financial resources or adequately trained personnel. This action has resulted in the majority of children not having a visual examination during their school career.  In a few instances where vision screenings are performed, these are usually limited to visual acuity (VA) evaluation alone; an endeavour that may miss many significant visual problems.  The purpose of this article is to highlight the need for vision screening to be conducted in schools and for the screening protocols to include the various accommodative tests. A retrospective analysis of the amplitudes of accommodation, accommodative facility and accuracy of accommodation findingsfrom a primary school vision screening of 264 children between 6 and 13 years was undertaken in this study.  Data was captured and analysed with Microsoft Excel. The ages of the children ranged from 6 to 13 years with a mean of 9.38 years (SD = 1.85).  One hundred and thirty eight (52.3%) were males and 126 (47.7%) females.  A significant number of the children failed the monocular accommodative amplitude tests (24%), binocular accommodative amplitude test (26%), the accommodative facility (30%) and the MEM test (27%).  These results highlight the need for a more comprehensive vision screening exercise rather than VA alone as this approach would have  missed more than a quarter of the children who had other visual problems that could impact on their ability to perform optimally at school.

<span>The ability of parents to nurture and support their children during their primary school years is considered to be fundamental for the child’s development and learning. Teachers and educational psychologists assign great prominence to parental involvement as a tool to advance educational success for children, especially for those who are faced with disadvantages. In the past two decades, we have seen South African schools radically shifting from being racially and ethnically homogenous to becoming culturally, ethnically and linguistically heterogeneous. It is especially the schools in the lower socioeconomic areas that find themselves under tremendous pressure to serve their growing immigrant school population. Not enough is known about the cultural capital that lies embedded in these learners’ home contexts and the roles that their parents play in their education. In this manuscript, I investigate the potential intersectionality of school and home and critique the affiliation between teachers and immigrant parents as an important dimension of learning success in the primary school. I situate the discussion in a community school with a strong Somali immigrant population.</span>

The monitored group consisted of 12 female pupils of the eighth year of primary school in B. Bystrica (age 13.42 ± 0.3 years, body height 162.6 ± 2.3 cm, body weight 49.7 ± 2.1 kg and body mass index 18.8 ± 0.9). In terms of prevention, we focused on finding the levels and relations between the foot and body postures by using standardized methods for physical and sport education (Foot posture - Plantography and method of Index and Chippaux-Šmírak; Body Posture - Method of Klein and Thomas modified by Mayer and Dynamic spine function (Tests of Schober and Stibor). By applying various physical programs in the lessons of physical and sport education, the levels of foot and body postures improve after 4 weeks (Bendíková, Marko, Rozim, & Martinský, 2019). The listed study is the part of research project: VEGA 1/0519/19 “Physical activity as prevention of health of school population in Slovakia”.

Objetivo: Implementar un proyecto de intervención contra la caries dental a partir de acciones de protección específica de la salud bucal con el propósito de reducir la incidencia de caries dental en una población escolar de seis a once años, de la Alcaldía Iztapalapa.Material y Métodos: Estudio longitudinal descriptivo y de comparación, conformado por un grupo control, con una muestra de 908 escolares de primer año de primaria que representó el 70% del total de niños de este grado escolar que entregaron su consentimiento firmado previa información a los padres de familia, realizado en 10 escuelas primarias de la Alcaldía Iztapalapa, que se encuentra ubicada en el oriente de la Ciudad de México. Y el grupo testigo conformado por los escolares (3440) que participaron en el diagnóstico base o inicial.Resultados: Tomando como base los resultados del diagnóstico bucal realizado en 3440 escolares, se llevó a cabo una intervención en el grupo control, con la aplicación de un programa de protección específica a partir de acciones de profilaxis, selladores de fosetas y fisuras y técnica de cepillado,así mismo, un seguimiento epidemiológico que inició cuando los escolares se encontraban en primer año y concluyó cuando estos terminaron el cuarto año de primaria, el estudio lo concluyeron 815 escolares. A los escolares que participaron en el grupo testigo no se les realizó ninguna acción odontológica, sus resultados sirvieron sólo de comparación con el propósito de identificar la incidencia de caries dental de los escolares del grupo control una vez concluida la intervención. La información se capturó en el Programa de Cómputo SPSS versión 23.0 en el que se obtuvieron: Estadísticas descriptivas: promedios y DS de caries dental, t de Student, y X2 de Pearson.Conclusiones: La reducción de la caries dental en el grupo control fue del 70.2%. Objective: To implement an intervention project against dental caries based on specific protection actions for oral health in order to reduce the incidence of dental caries in a school population, aged six to eleven years old, of the Iztapalapa Mayor's Office.Material and Methods: Longitudinal descriptive and comparison study, made up of a control group, was used in the study. It was carried out on a sample of 908 schoolchildren in the first year of primary school, which represents 70% of the total number of children of this school grade who gave their signed consent through their parents, The study, however, was carried out in 10 elementary schools of the Iztapalapa Mayor's Office, which is located in the east of Mexico City. The control group is made up of schoolchildren (3440) who participated in the baseline or initial diagnosis.Results: Based on the results of the oral diagnosis carried out in 3440 schoolchildren, an intervention was carried out in the control group with the application of a specific protection program based on prophylactic actions, pit and fissure sealants, and technique of brushing. Likewise, based on an epidemiological follow-up that began when the schoolchildren were in the first year and ended when they finished the fourth year of primary school, the study was completed by 815 schoolchildren. The schoolchildren who participated in the control group did not undergo any dental action, and their results served only as a comparison with the purpose of identifying the incidence of dental caries in the schoolchildren in the control group once the intervention has been concluded. The information was captured using the SPSS Computer Program version 23.0 in which the following were obtained: descriptive statistics such as the means and SD of dental caries, Student's t test, and Pearson's correlation X2.Conclusions: The reduction of dental caries in the control group was 70.2%.

Aim. To get epidemiologic data about primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) and its influence on the quality of life of Slovenian children and adolescents and to find out the knowledge about the disorder among school population.Methods. Prospective epidemiologic study was performed in Slovenia in 2011 and supported with two questionnaires. The first questionnaire was distributed among primary school population that included 1248 children. The second questionnaire included 44 children, who have been treated for PNE in Nephrology Unit of our Department of Paediatrics.Results. PNE was diagnosed in 12.4% of children, in 11.8% of girls and in 13.0% of boys. There was evident linkage between the appearance of PNE in children and their relatives. The study showed that PNE influences the quality of life in less than half of the investigated children. Disorder restricts them mostly in relations with coevals. Knowledge about PNE among children in elementary schools was found to be insufficient.Conclusion. We found out that the prevalence of PNE in Slovenia is comparable to prevalence in other countries. More than half of children questioned in a survey think that PNE does not affect their lives significantly. General lack of knowledge about PNE is still a problem.
