This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La malnutrition infantile est toujours un problème de santé publique majeur sur le continent africain. De nombreux cas apparaissent ainsi en milieu urbain sans que la famille ne semble manquer de nourriture. Ce paradoxe illustre le principe selon lequel la malnutrition serait aussi la conséquence d'un environnement familial altéré, et non uniquement un problème organique lié à un déficit nutritionnel. La malnutrition serait également due, au-delà des carences en nutriments, à des perturbations d'ordre socioculturelles, familiales et relationnelles. Mieux comprendre la diversité étiologique de la malnutrition infantile peut permettre d'intervenir précocement sur les situations à risque.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette publication rassemble un certain nombre de communications, présentées lors de l'atelier « Santé de la reproduction dans les pays à croissance démographique rapide : approches méthodologiques » (Abidjan, mai 1995). Centrée sur le thème de la santé maternelle et infantile en Afrique, une des composantes majeures de la santé de la reproduction, elle présente les apports et les limites des disciplines des sciences sociales qui abordent cette question. Les différentes contributions mettent en évidence la nécessité de diversifier les approches, afin de mieux cerner l'ensemble des mécanismes et facteurs influençant la santé. Axés sur le Burkina Faso, le Sénégal et la Côte d'Ivoire, les articles rassemblés ici présentent une certaine diversité dans les approches, tant au niveau de la couverture des données, que de la méthodologie de collecte et d'analyse utilisée. Enfin, à travers les expériences tirées de ces études dans un contexte africain, l'ouvrage propose une réflexion sur les implications du recours au concept de santé de la reproduction sur des réalités locales variées.
Download or read book Malnutrition in C te D Ivoire written by David E. Sahn and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to explore the causes of malnutrition, this paper estimates reduced-form nutritional status functions that include a linear combination of independent variables, which explain the household's per capita consumption expenditures. Instrumented consumption expenditures are considered a good proxy for permanent income, and the findings indicate that they are an important determinant of long-term (or chronic) malnutrition. Income, however, does not have a significant effect on current (or acute) malnutrition. Children from households that allocate a larger share of their land to producing export crops than food crops did not display more stunting or wasting. Mothers with more education will be less likely to have children who suffer from acute malnutrition, when controlling for income levels. The education of the father, however, does not confer the same positive benefits upon his children's nutritional welfare, except as mediated through higher earnings. Parental height, especially of women, has an important impact on long-term nutritional status. The characteristics of the village in which the household resides also plays an important role in determining levels of malnutrition.

Download or read book Explaining Child Malnutrition in Developing Countries written by Lisa C. Smith and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One in three preschool children in developing countries is undernourished. Consequently, they are likely to have impaired immune systems, poor cognitive development, low productivity as adults, and susceptibility to diet-related chronic diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease later in life. Undernourished female preschoolers are likely to grow into undernourished young women who are more likely to give birth to babies who are undernourished even before they are born, thus perpetuating the intergenerational transmission of deprivation. This report sheds light on some of the main causes of child malnutrition, projects how many children are likely to be malnourished in the year 2020 given current trends, and identifies priority actions for reducing malnutrition most quickly in the coming decades.
Download or read book Patterns of Attachment written by Mary D. Salter Ainsworth and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethological attachment theory is a landmark of 20th century social and behavioral sciences theory and research. This new paradigm for understanding primary relationships across the lifespan evolved from John Bowlby’s critique of psychoanalytic drive theory and his own clinical observations, supplemented by his knowledge of fields as diverse as primate ethology, control systems theory, and cognitive psychology. By the time he had written the first volume of his classic Attachment and Loss trilogy, Mary D. Salter Ainsworth’s naturalistic observations in Uganda and Baltimore, and her theoretical and descriptive insights about maternal care and the secure base phenomenon had become integral to attachment theory. Patterns of Attachment reports the methods and key results of Ainsworth’s landmark Baltimore Longitudinal Study. Following upon her naturalistic home observations in Uganda, the Baltimore project yielded a wealth of enduring, benchmark results on the nature of the child’s tie to its primary caregiver and the importance of early experience. It also addressed a wide range of conceptual and methodological issues common to many developmental and longitudinal projects, especially issues of age appropriate assessment, quantifying behavior, and comprehending individual differences. In addition, Ainsworth and her students broke new ground, clarifying and defining new concepts, demonstrating the value of the ethological methods and insights about behavior. Today, as we enter the fourth generation of attachment study, we have a rich and growing catalogue of behavioral and narrative approaches to measuring attachment from infancy to adulthood. Each of them has roots in the Strange Situation and the secure base concept presented in Patterns of Attachment. It inclusion in the Psychology Press Classic Editions series reflects Patterns of Attachment’s continuing significance and insures its availability to new generations of students, researchers, and clinicians.

Download or read book Kenya s 2013 General Election written by Njogu, Kimani and published by Twaweza Communications. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When voters enthusiastically turn up to cast their vote during general elections, they expect that their action would meaningfully change their lives. But in most of Africa, even when elections are held on a regular basis, voters are quite often disappointed by the performance of their leaders who use the new positions as an opportunity to loot public resources and consolidate power. It is almost as if elections are of minimal value to the populace. Notwithstanding this trend, when they are free and fair, general elections can be transformative. They can bring into the political arena men and women of integrity committed to service and account-ability. Inspired by the determination to have inclusive governance and the advancement of democracy, Kenya’s 2013 General Election: Stakes, Practices and Outcomes asks important questions related to political participation, coalition building, politics of identity, the international criminal court, electoral systems and institutions, and the judiciary. The papers are written by mainly Kenyan academics and civil society actors who examine the drivers of the 2013 general elections and the sources of the mandate to lead.This book is part of publications by Twaweza Communications on democratic practice and accountable governance in Kenya.
Download or read book Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Supervision written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Supervision, guest expert supervisor, Dr. Joan E. Sarnat, demonstrates and discusses this approach to supervision. The goal of relational psychodynamic supervision is to create a more experiential, participatory, and relationship-focused form of supervision, one that not only provides usable psychotherapeutic knowledge and skills, but also facilitates the emotional and relational development that is essential to becoming an effective psychodynamic psychotherapist. In this video, Sarnat and her supervisee engage in a supervisory session, and host Dr. Hanna Levenson interviews them about their work together, exploring the constructs of this model and the nature of the supervisory relationship. In the session, Dr. Sarnat's supervisee conveys that she is frustrated by how her patient is discounting her during the termination phase of therapy. By becoming aware of and working with her own feelings of frustration within the session, Dr. Sarnat demonstrates the art of using a reenactment to help the supervisee deepen her awareness and thereby facilitate the therapy."--
