We approach an integrated research-action model of the interactions between the psychosis of the parent, parenting, family relations, the child's development, risk and resilience factors. The research objectives are: identifying the resilience factors, the research of the interaction between the risk and resilience mechanisms, predicting or not the development of psychopathology in children of psychotic parents, the dynamic evaluation of the resilience. The longitudinal study was conducted in the period 2003-2013 on a group of 75 children with a schizophrenic parent and 70 children with a parent with bipolar disorder. We applied the scales: CBCL, Vth Axis ICD 10, PANSS and CD-RISC (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale). Through PANSS for the psychotic parents, we correlated the scores for specific items with those obtained by the children through CD-RISC. Through MANOVA and the Pearson test we correlated the dependent variables with the predictive influence factors. The high PANSS scores for specific items were correlated negatively with the resilience scores of the children with psychotic parents. The maximum frequency of positive codifications on the Vth Axis, found for: rejection behavior from one parent (76, 4%), family disharmony (73, 52%), distorted family communication (70, 58%), was significantly correlated (p<0.001) with low scores of the child's resilience for personal competency, negative effects tolerance, safe interpersonal relations, high performance. The social, family support and social connectedness proved to be relevant variables. Resilience can be modified and improved through targeted interventions, so that the understanding of the resilience process and of the concurrent factors is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research is to conduct a social research on oral hygiene behaviour in primary school. In order to achieve our aim we designed our research using quantitative approach and conducting specialized social survey, using a sample of 1016 children from 11 different schools Timis County. Designed on three main dimensions of oral hygiene behaviour: information and knowledge practice of oral hygiene and relation with the dentist, our research findings provides strong support in order to understand the significant differences of dental health behaviour across gender, class level, and rural/urban area. In the same time, our results offer important elements of evidence-based data support required for conducting efficient oral health prevention programme and public policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper will explore the evolution of Romanian migration phenomenon and the influence of migration policy of European countries, in order to understand the mechanism of choosing the destination country for Romanian emigrants. What type of evolution knows the migration phenomenon from Romania? Which are the most important factors that influence the emigration from Romania? How does the mechanism of choosing the work destination country for the Romanian emigrants? We expect that during the pre-joining period the European countries with tolerant attitude towards immigrants, and frequent naturalization, or regularization procedures, to be mainly preferred by Romanian immigrants. The empirical support for these hypotheses is examined based on statistical analysis of data provided by the official organisms for statistics in Romania, the Public Opinion Barometer. Official statistics of other European countries on immigration affecting their country, including Romanian immigration, will also be studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
