Parental Perceptions of Child Life Specialists

Most children spend time in the hospital at some point during their childhood whether it is for a short visit or a long-term stay. Hospitalization can be a very stressful experience for children and their families. Child life specialists work in hospitals to help families navigate hospitalizations and cope with stress. This study aimed to investigate parental perceptions of child life specialists, including parents’ familiarity with their role, recognition of its importance, appreciation for help provided, and the formation of meaningful relationships with child life specialists. A survey was conducted among child life specialists who had worked with children and families in hospital settings, and ninety-one responses were collected. The findings indicate that parents were generally unfamiliar with the role of a child life specialist before entering the hospital. However, after interacting with a child life specialist, parents came to recognize the importance and value of the child life specialists’ role and appreciated the help that they provided for their child and family. Child life specialists also feel that they can form meaningful relationships with the parents they work with. Overall, the study emphasizes the crucial role that child life specialists play in supporting children and families throughout hospitalization

The quick service food and beverage line of business and how it is aligned with the overall objectives for the Walt Disney World® Resort and The Walt Disney Company

The Disney College Program allows for many opportunities, such as instructor lead offerings, experiential learning, career path development, and academic support. This internship gives us hands-on work in a global company but also helps us further ourselves in our career by providing networking opportunities and behind-the-scenes access to things others may never experience. As an intern in Food and Beverage, it was my job to provide not just food but experiences to guests from all around the world. It was my job not only to make sure guests left the restaurant locations happy, but also to maximize production. To do this, all workers had to perform at their highest potential

Functional Stereotyping of Women’s Self-Objectification as a Function of Life History and Body Fat

Individuals prioritize different goals as a function of stability in their environment, oftentimes leading people to prioritize reproduction in hostile ecologies. From this shift in priorities, perceivers could develop heuristics about how women may attempt to attract mates. Previous research suggests that higher levels of body fat are more attractive to men with a fast life history. With this awareness of men’s preferences in body fat, high-fat women from hostile ecologies could be expected to engage in more self-objectifying behavior in the service of mate attraction or attempting present themselves as objects of affection to men. This study tasked participants with reporting their perceptions of women described as living in a hopeful or desperate ecology (proxies for slow and fast life history, respectively) who exhibited either high or low levels of body fat. These evaluations tracked expectations of these women to objectify themselves. Women were perceived as more self-objectifying at low levels of body fat. However, no effects emerged as a function of ecology. These results reflect a potential implicit theory from perceivers about how body fat shapes expectations of women’s reproductive strategies while indicating limitations in ecological cues in tracking self-objectifying tendencies

I’m Not Lovin’ It: Re-Thinking Fast Food Advertising

In 1971, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) agreed to prevent injury and deception to the consumer in advertising, detailing their respective roles in a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”). The MOU has been amended and an addendum added since 1971, but the material provisions have remained consistent for over a half-century. The FTC has regulatory authority over fast food advertising while the FDA regulates fast food, which creates a proverbial fork in the road. The fork in the road widens when considering the FDA has an active role in curbing the obesity epidemic through consumer education while the FTC is not concerned with public health, but rather focuses on consumer deception and misinformation. Therefore, to curb the obesity epidemic and educate the American public, the MOU between the FTC and FDA should be amended so the FDA gains primary responsibility over fast food advertising. This paper also proposes solutions to fast food advertisements, aimed at better educating and reminding the consumer of the negative consequences associated with fast food. Part I of this paper will discuss the scope and regulation of the FTC, previous enforcement proceedings against fast food advertisements, and current litigation relating to fast food advertising. Part II will then discuss potential regulations the FDA could enforce if the agency assumed regulatory authority over fast food advertising. Part III will be broken down into three sections detailing solutions: disclosing negative health reminders during advertisements, prohibiting advertisements of unrealistic products, and disincentivizing fast food advertisements in general

Carbyne-based Sensing Device For High Spatial Resolution In DNA Sequencing And Biomolecule Characterization And Method Of Fabricating The Same

A method of fabricating a sensing device for DNA sequencing and biomolecule characterization including the steps of fabricating a microelectrode chip having a silicon substrate and a silicon nitride diaphragm, attaching a monolayer graphene sheet to the silicon nitride diaphragm, dicing a portion of the monolayer graphene sheet to form a graphene microribbon, converting the graphene microribbon to a graphene nanoribbon, and converting the graphene nanoribbon to a carbyne. A sensing device for DNA sequencing and biomolecule characterization is also disclosed. The sensing device includes a silicon substrate, a cavity in the silicon substrate covered by a silicon nitride layer, microelectrodes attached to the silicon nitride layer, graphene covering the microelectrodes, and carbyne attached to a portion of the silicon nitride layer covering said cavity
