Neighborhood and Social Environmental Influences on Child Chronic Disease Prevalence

We investigate how distinct residential environments uniquely influence chronic child disease. Aggregating over 200,000 pediatric geocoded medical records to the census tract of residence and linking them to neighborhood-level measures, we use multiple data analysis techniques to assess how heterogeneous exposures of social and environmental neighborhood conditions influence an index of child chronic disease (CCD) prevalence for the neighborhood. We find there is a graded relationship between degree of overall neighborhood disadvantage and children’s chronic disease such that the highest neighborhood CCD scores reside in communities with the highest concentrated disadvantage. Finally, results show that higher levels of neighborhood concentrated disadvantage and air pollution exposure associate with higher risks of having at least one chronic condition for children after also considering their individual- and family-level characteristics. Overall, our analysis serves as a comprehensive start for future researchers interested in assessing which neighborhood factors matter most for child chronic health conditions

Modelo de medición servqual y calidad del servicio en una institución educativa particular Ica – 2022

Determine the relationship between the servqual measurement model and service quality in a private educational institution Ica - 2022. Design: non-experimental. Approach: quantitative. Type: applied. Level: correlative. Population, finite sample Survey: 31 parents. Two instruments were applied: adapted servqual measurement model (22 articles) and service quality (14 articles). The information was compiled and the data was processed through the SPSS v.29 statistic. The non-parametric hypothesis Spearman's Rho was inferred. A result p= 0.01 was obtained to contrast the general hypothesis. That is, the connections are significant enough to accept the h1 and reject the h0 formulated at the beginning of the investigation. The study concludes that there is a very strong positive confirmation between the servqual measurement model and service quality from the perception of parents of a particular institution in the province of Ica.Objetivo.

Existe una correlación  positiva muy fuerte entre el Modelo de medición servqual y calidad del servicio desde la percepción de los padres de una institución particular de la provincia de Ica

Child Obesity and the Interaction of Family and Neighborhood Socioeconomic Context

The literature on neighborhoods and child obesity links contextual conditions to risk, assuming that if place matters, it matters in a similar way for everyone in those places. We explore the extent to which distinctive neighborhood types give rise to social patterning that produces variation in the odds of child obesity. We leverage geocoded electronic medical records for a diverse sample of over 135,000 children aged 2 to 12 and latent profile modeling to characterize places into distinctive neighborhood contexts. Multilevel models with cross-level interactions between neighborhood type and family socioeconomic standing (SES) reveal that children with different SES, but living in the same neighborhoods, have different odds of obesity. Specifically, we find lower-SES children benefit, but to a lesser degree, from neighborhood advantages and higher-SES children are negatively influenced, to a larger degree, by neighborhood disadvantages. The resulting narrowing of the gap in obesity by neighborhood disadvantage helps clarify how place matters for children’s odds of obesity and suggests that efforts to improve access to community advantages as well as efforts to address community disadvantages are important to curbing obesity and improving the health of all children

Aprendizaje basado en evidencias como estrategia didáctica para la producción de textos funcionales en estudiantes universitarios

The objective of the research is to demonstrate that evidence-based learning as a didactic strategy influences the production of functional texts in university students in times of COVID-19. For this, the following methodology was obtained: quantitative approach, experimental level, quasi-experimental design. For data collection, the observation and survey technique was used: the instrument used was the rubric —differential semantic scale—, and knowledge test —measures the intellectual part—. To express the data, visual representations, tables and graphs were produced, obtained through the SPSS v.26 software. The statistical results acquired allowed us to test the hypothesis through the Mann-Whitney U, indicating that the experimental group presents a better result in relation to the control group. In conclusion, evidence-based learning is an advantage for the development of the production of functional texts.El objetivo de la investigación es demostrar que el aprendizaje basado en evidencias como estrategia didáctica influye en la producción de textos funcionales en estudiantes universitarios en tiempos del COVID-19.

Comprehensive Neighborhood Portraits and Child Asthma Disparities Introduction

Objectives Previous research has established links between child, family, and neighborhood disadvantages and child asthma. We add to this literature by first characterizing neighborhoods in Houston, TX by demographic, economic, and air quality characteristics to establish differences in pediatric asthma diagnoses across neighborhoods. Second, we identify the relative risk of social, economic, and environmental risk factors for child asthma diagnoses. Methods We geocoded and linked electronic pediatric medical records to neighborhood-level social and economic indicators. Using latent profile modeling techniques, we identified Advantaged, Middle-class, and Disadvantaged neighborhoods. We then used a modified version of the Blinder-Oaxaca regression decomposition method to examine differences in asthma diagnoses across children in these different neighborhoods. Results Both compositional (the characteristics of the children and the ambient air quality in the neighborhood) and associational (the relationship between child and air quality characteristics and asthma) differences within the distinctive neighborhood contexts influence asthma outcomes. For example, unequal exposure to PM2.5 and O3 among children in Disadvantaged and Middle-class neighborhoods contribute to asthma diagnosis disparities within these contexts. For children in Disadvantaged and Advantaged neighborhoods, associational differences between racial/ethnic and socioeconomic characteristics and asthma diagnoses explain a significant proportion of the gap. Conclusions for Practice Our results provide evidence that differential exposure to pollution and protective factors associated with non-Hispanic White children and children from affluent families contribute to asthma disparities between neighborhoods. Future researchers should consider social and racial inequalities as more proximate drivers, not merely as associated, with asthma disparities in children

Assessing Libras sign comprehension by deaf children in elementary school

A educação brasileira carece de instrumentos para avaliar o desenvolvimento lingüísitco da população escolar surda. O Teste de Vocabulário Receptivo de Sinais da Libras (TVRSL1) avalia a compreensão de sinais da Libras. Foi aplicado com sinalização ao vivo coletivamente na sala de aula em duas sessões de 45 minutos a 505 estudantes de 6 a 41 anos, a maioria sinalizadora com surdez profunda pré-lingual e perilingual, de 1ª série do ensino fundamental até 1ª do médio, de seis escolas do estado de São Paulo, quatro Escolas Municipais de Educação Especial e duas particulares. Foi normatizado de 1ª a 8ª série e validado por comparação com dez testes normatizados de desenvolvimento de compreensão de sinais, leitura e escrita. Resultados revelaram aumento significativo da compreensão de sinais de 1ª a 8aª série, e maiores correlações com nomeação de sinais por escolha de palavras e por escrita livre do que com nomeação de figuras por escolha de palavras e por escrita livre, com competência de leitura de palavras ou com compreensão de leitura de sentenças. Análise de itens permitiu obter a versão reordenada, com grau de dificuldade crescente, e a abreviada com apenas 66 itens para permitir avaliação ainda mais rápida e eficaz. Palavras-chave: linguagem; vocabulário; Libras. The Brazilian school system is in need of assessment tools to evaluate language development of its deaf students . Libras Receptive Sign Vocabulary Test (LRSVT) assesses sign comprehension in Brazilian Sign Language. It was applied collectively with live signing in a population 505 students aged 6 to 41 years in 1st to 9th grades. Most of the signers were with profound prelingual or perilingual deafness, enrolled in six Sao Paulo State schools, four special public and two private schools . LRSVT was standardized from the 1st to the 8th grades and validated by comparison with ten standardized tests for assessing comprehension for word and sentence reading, picture and sign naming through matching-to-sample and spelling. Results revealed a significant increase in receptive sign vocabulary from the 1st to the 8th grade. Correlation with sign naming by matching-to-sample and spelling was greater than those with picture naming by matching-to-sample and spelling, word and sentence reading comprehension. Item analysis permitted obtaining a reordered version with increasing difficulty level, and a short version for faster assessment. Keywords: language; vocabulary; Libras.
