57. Best Practices to Promote Breastfeeding in Home Visiting Programs

Author

Stevens, Allison

Subjects
education
Abstract

This project was conducted in Chicago for the Consortium to Lower Obesity in Chicago Children (CLOCC). Of particular interest to CLOCC, not breastfeeding is associated with a 32% excess risk of childhood obesity. For this project, CLOCC partnered with Children's Home + Aid - a child and family service agency in Chicago that provides home visiting services - to further CLOCC's obesity reduction goals. This partnership is mutually beneficial for Children's Home + Aid. As the Illinois state Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) coordinating agency, Children's Home + Aid will be required to spend the majority of its funds on approved home visiting models that do not emphasize breastfeeding. Thus, the agency identified a need for additional support in incorporating more breastfeeding education and support into its curriculums. In May 2014, the researcher, as a part of CLOCC's Early Childhood Division, stepped forward to fill this knowledge gap by developing a breastfeeding training presentation and toolkit for home visitors. The products of this project are threefold: 1) a training presentation for home visitors that educates them about how to incorporate breastfeeding education into their curriculums, 2) a supplementary toolkit for home visitors that includes information and resources about breastfeeding, and 3) a paper that outlines the need for this project, the methodology of the project, the literature review and mini-focus group findings used to develop the training presentation and toolkit, and a discussion of how the key findings were incorporated into the training presentation and toolkit.

64. Visual and textual representations of childhood by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), 1999 to 2003

Author

Stevens, Allison

Subjects
Development Studies and Social Transformation
Abstract

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 88-96)., The objective of this paper is to investigate how UNICEF (the United Nations Children's Fund) represents the notion of childhood. A content analysis of 690 photographs as well as an in-depth textual analysis of the most authoritative publications is conducted to decode childhood representations. The methodological approaches are both quantitative (content analysis) and qualitative (textual analysis). The photographic and publications data are obtained from the UNICEF website for the period 1999 to 2003. Inscribed in the visual images are historical western notions of childhood as a blissful stage of life in which passivity and vulnerability are featured. These inscriptions are rooted in technologies of scientific knowledge and myths, which explains therefore their persuasiveness. As regards arguments that development institutions export ideal notions of childhood specific only to western societies, the paper finds that while such ideals certainly are present in the representations, the proper ideal is by no means the sole embodiment of exported notions. Over the last five years, UNICEF has begun to incorporate new views of children as socially competent, valuable social actors in their own right (a school of thought that has begun to be theorised, most notably, by the 'New Sociology of Childhood'). However, the ideas of children as social actors attains a particular meaning in UNICEF texts. Many instances of children's strength and resiliency in third worlds are not represented as constitutive of what the idea of child agency means.

Abstract

We investigate the use of anatomical priors in a Bayesian framework for diffusion tractography. We compare priors that utilize different types of information on the white-matter pathways to be reconstructed. This information includes manually labeled paths from a set of training subjects and anatomical segmentation labels obtained from T1-weighted MR images of the same subjects. Our results indicate that the use of prior information increases robustness to end-point ROI size and yields solutions that agree with expert-drawn manual labels, obviating the need for manual intervention on any new test subjects., National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (U.S.) (K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award EB008129), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (U.S.) (Grant R01-EB001550), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (U.S.) (Grant R01-EB006758), National Center for Research Resources (U.S.) (Grant P41-RR14075), National Center for Research Resources (U.S.) (Grant R01-RR16594), National Center for Research Resources (U.S.) (NCRR BIRN Morphometric Project BIRN002 Grant U24-RR0213820), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (U.S.) (Grant R01-NS052585), Mind Research Institute, National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (U.S.) the MIND Institute, and the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NIH Roadmap for Medical Research Grant U54-EB005149)

The House Appropriations Committee has approved a draft bill that would set aside $2.75 billion for the House of Representatives and the various support agencies of Congress, but it would represent a reduction of $395 billion. Representative Jack Kingston, the chairman of the House Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee, has succeeded in cutting more money, although the potential savings represent a small fraction of the overall bill.

The House Majority Leader, Bill Frist and the Minority Leader, Tom Daschle, are both under unusual pressure to achieve their individual goals and the deal-making on several bills might get delayed until summer of 2005 as the Senate calendar allows little time for legislating. Senators will be in session only 11 weeks before October 1, 2004 their target adjournment date, and if they miss that deadline, there are four weeks until Election Day, November 2, 2004 after which there are 8 weeks left in 2004 for a lame-duck session.

Senate Minority leader Tom Daschle's bid for a fourth Senate term in South Dakota against former GOP, Republican John Thune, is shaping up to be the tightest re-election race for a Senate party leader in more than three decades. Although Daschle has campaigned for many of his Democratic colleagues over the years, he is reluctant to the South Dakota campaign trail in his own close race for re-election and viewing through the South Dakota politics, Daschle's decision is not surprising.

Although negotiating for future employment whilst still in office is within the bounds of congressional ethics, watchdogs of both parties are equally unhappy at the public perception of such arrangements.

However, if Republican leaders succeed in breaking a possible Democratic filibuster, the Senate will clear the bill, which will be just in time because President George W. Bush sends his fiscal 2005 budget request to Congress on February 2, 2004.
