A study in child thought, language and logic : observations of a six-year-old child, individually at home, and together with his play and school groups : experimental tests and analysis of observations, in accordance with the theories of Piaget

It must be made clear in the very beginning that the basis for this thesis is the two volumes by Dr. Jean Piaget, Institut J. J. Rousseau, Geneva, Switzerland, The Language and Thought of the Child and Judgement and Reasoning in the Child; hence the very small bibliography, the material used being observations and experimental tests based on these volumes.1 Much has been written heretofore on the vocabulary and phonetics of child language, piling up statistics on the number of words various children have acquired at different ages and on the sentence structure (number of adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, etc.) used at different ages.2 In the division of the year book referred to, on studies in language development, one hundred forty-three books are listed and various others referred to in the discussion of the problems. The distinguishing feature of this world of child thought is egocentrism (intellectual, not ethical, and by no means to be thought of as secretive), the child\u27s self being bound up with his every concept and bit of reasoning. However, the child is entirely unconscious of this situation. Only by socioalizing processes is change wrought in the child\u27s mind and he comes finally to develop pure reasoning

Stakeholder analysis for a maternal and newborn health project in Eastern Uganda

Background Based on the realization that Uganda is not on track to achieving Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5, Makerere University School of Public Health in collaboration with other partners proposed to conduct two community based maternal/newborn care interventions aimed at increasing access to health facility care through transport vouchers and use of community health workers to promote ideal family care practices. Prior to the implementation, a stakeholder analysis was undertaken to assess and map stakeholders’ interests, influence/power and position in relation to the interventions; their views regarding the success and sustainability; and how this research can influence policy formulation in the country. Methods A stakeholder analysis was carried out in March 2011 at national level and in four districts of Eastern Uganda where the proposed interventions would be conducted. At the national level, four key informant interviews were conducted with the ministry of health representative, Member of Parliament, and development partners. District health team members were interviewed and also engaged in a workshop; and at community level, twelve focus group discussions were conducted among women, men and motorcycle transporters. Results This analysis revealed that district and community level stakeholders were high level supporters of the proposed interventions but not drivers. At community level the mothers, their spouses and transporters were of low influence due to the limited funds they possessed. National level and district stakeholders believed that the intervention is costly and cannot be affordably scaled up. They advised the study team to mobilize and sensitize the communities to contribute financially from the start in order to enhance sustainability beyond the study period. Stakeholders believed that the proposed interventions will influence policy through modeling on how to improve the quality of maternal/newborn health services, male involvement, and improved accessibility of services. Conclusion Most of the stakeholders interviewed were supporters of the proposed maternal and newborn care intervention because of the positive benefits of the intervention. The analysis highlighted stakeholder concerns that will be included in the final project design and that could also be useful in countries of similar setting that are planning to set up programmes geared at increasing access to maternal and new born interventions. Key among these concerns was the need to use both human and financial resources that are locally available in the community, to address supply side barriers that influence access to maternal and child healthcare. Research to policy translation, therefore, will require mutual trust, continued dialogue and engagement of the researchers, implementers and policy makers to enable scale up.UKai

Institutional Care for the Mentally Deficient with Special Reference to the Nebraska Institution for the Feeble-Minded

This study and evaluation of Nebraska’s care for the mentally deficient was undertaken, with the consent of the Board of Control in order to learn more about its present program, and to provide a basis for further research and planning. Part I was limited to a brief resume of Nebraska’s progress, with tables indicating the Institution’s trend of growth both in population and cost. The writer spend about ten days at the Walter E. Fernald School, Waverly, Massachusetts, and at Letchworth Village, Thiells, New York, studying the individual program of each institution. The information obtained furnished the basis for the material in Part II. Later, the writer spend about five days at the Nebraska Institution for the Feeble-Minded, Beatrice, Nebraska, observing its program and practices. The data secured is incorporated in Part III. As a result of the total study, Part IV offers some general conclusions regarding the present institutional program for the mentally deficient in Nebraska. Advisor: Hattie Plum William
