Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate socio-economic differences in physical, cognitive, and motor development among six-year-old children living in rural areas. The study encompassed 228 children, including 118 girls and 110 boys living in different rural settlements in the Świętokrzyskie Province in Poland, who were selected through a combination of nonprobability and random sampling. The study was carried out from April to June 2014. A questionnaire was used to collect information from the parents of the children concerning the parents’ education, number of children in the family, and the number of persons per room. Based on the concept of socio-economic status (SES), three levels of quality of life conditions of each family, i.e., high, average, and low, were distinguished. The study noted considerable differences in BMI, and especially the cognitive development of the children with respect to the socio-economic status of their family. It was observed that children from rural areas who live in bad socio-economic conditions are exposed to a wide range of negative factors affecting their health, which leads to lower educational results and negative long-term biological and psychosocial consequences. The chance for more rapid alignment of development deficits for those children would have been their earlier cover of school duty.

Car guards form an integral part of South Africa’s urban landscape. This article reports on a survey of 144 car guards in Tshwane to identify the implications of their work for private security policy and practice. The profile of respondents reflects their low socio-economic status and marginalisation from the formal economy. The study found that some car guards struggle to survive financially because of the daily levies payable to car guard agencies and the managers of shopping centres. The results of the study suggest that, despite positive sentiments and advancements in policy and legislation, regulation of the formal car guarding industry remains constrained due to inadequate implementation and monitoring. The article offers insights into the factors affecting car guarding as a form of private security in South Africa.

Background Poor diet and high infection rates inflicted by lowsocio-economic status and poor environments among infants andyoung children appear to be major causes of severe malnutrition.Objective To determine the practical and likely effectiveness inrehabilitation of severe malnutrition.Methods A descriptive observational study was conducted on 27children at three different sites: (1) Five inpatients at the InpatientWard, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta (IP-CM); (2) 8 out-patients at the Metabolic and Nutrition Clinic, Cipto MangunkusumoHospital (OP-CM); (3) 14 outpatients at the Nutrition Clinic, Bogor(NC). All the patients followed were aged <60 months and suf-fered from severe malnutrition (weight for length index <-3 NCHSZ-score). Subjects were followed for 12 weeks. The IP-CM groupreceived standard treatment following the WHO recommendation,while the OP-CM and NC group received proper medical treat-ment and nutrition education for mothers. The OP-CM group un-derwent more extensive laboratory investigations.Results All children generally had low socio-economic status. Mostchildren experienced poor feeding, child care, and other healthpractices. A tendency of increased prevalence, number of episodes,and duration of infectious diseases was noted in the majority ofsubjects. However, an improvement of nutritional status was ob-served during treatment in all groups, particularly in the IP-CMgroup.Conclusion Socio-economic status and environmental factorsmust be considered in the management of severe malnutrition.Educating parents concerning proper feeding and child care prac-tices appears to be of permanent nutritional benefit for the chil-dren.
