La Sociedad Del Ocio: Un Reto Para Los Archivos, José Bernal Rivas Fernández
Códices
La sociedad del ocio, como la llaman algunos, no es sólo un aumento del tiempo disponible después del trabajo y de las otras obligaciones sociales, sino también, una promoción de nuevos valores. En las sociedades más evolucionadas, esta promoción continúa obligando a nuestras sociedades a revisar cada vez más el equilibrio entre los valores del trabajo y los valores del ocio, entre los valores de la vida privada y la social, entre los de la sociedad y los del individuo. Los archivos, como un componente del patrimonio cultural, cuentan actualmente con un instrumento indiscutible: el de las nuevas tecnologías que …

Rehabilitation Of Heat Stroke With Cerebellar Motor Dysfunction: A Casereport, Tsung-Ming Yang, Jo-Tong Chen, Wei-Chih Hung, Nai-Wen Guo, Ta-Shen Kuan
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Heat stroke is a medical condition, which in its severest form, may lead to multiple organ failure and death. A previous study showed that most survivors recover completely without sequelae, but some survivors have long-term neurological dysfunction, especially cerebellar motor dysfunction. The rehabilitative outcome of such patients with neurological dysfunction has rarely been reported.We present herein a case of a 31 year old male who suffered from heat stroke, followed by acute rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, respiratory failure, cardiac arrhythmia, and cerebellar motor dysfunction. He was transferred to our rehabilitation ward 36 days after the heat stroke injury due to ataxia, …

Hiv/Aids Surveillance Systems: A Case Study Of Egypt, Nesmah Elkestawi, David Johnston
Hiv/Aids Surveillance Systems: A Case Study Of Egypt, Nesmah Elkestawi, David Johnston
The Undergraduate Research Journal
Current estimates of HIV/AIDS incidences are thought to be inaccurate according to external organizations such as WHO and UNAIDS. It is important to maintain an accurate estimate of prevalence to avoid an unexpected outbreak of a high-level epidemic. Our method of analyzing Egypt’s surveillance system comes primarily from comparisons to other Eastern Mediterranean countries. Research on these regional HIV/AIDS surveillance systems was conducted by studying publications printed by organizations that deal with these issues. To gain primary perspectives on the systems in Egypt, interviews were conducted with representatives of the organizations World Health Organization (WHO) and Family Health International (FHI) …

During this period a smallpox vaccine surveillance study was conducted in 18 counties in North Central Florida. The study was conducted via journal log, which participants completed daily by recording all symptoms, vaccination site stage development, and demographic information. The study included 350 vaccinees from Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Duval, Hamilton, Gilchrist, Lafayette, Levy, Flagler, Marion, …
Effects Of Family Factors On The Development Of Alcohol-Related Problems Among Males From Pre-Adolescence To Adulthood
Florida Public Health Review
Alcohol use is a leading risk factor in suicides, homicides and unintentional injuries (including motor vehicle crashes and drownings) among adolescents, and is associated with adolescent health risk behaviors such as cigarette smoking, illicit drug use, and risky sexual behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine if family factors would predict alcohol-related problems as the study cohort transitioned into young adulthood, and to determine if early alcohol use remained a significant influence on the development of alcohol-related problems in young adulthood. Results of the analyses indicate that three of the family factors measured in mid-adolescence were statistically significant …
Appalachian And Rural Student Performance Differences On Kentucky's Educational Assessment: Eighth Grade Results, D. Clayton Smith
Appalachian And Rural Student Performance Differences On Kentucky's Educational Assessment: Eighth Grade Results, D. Clayton Smith
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
For assessment and accountability, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) developed the Kentucky Instructional Results Information System (KIRIS). Because the KIRIS assessment relied on student performance and was “high stakes” for schools, the fairness of the assessment was important. This paper examined whether 8th grade students living in Appalachia and/or in primarily rural school districts perform differently on the assessment than their peers. The four years of data (1993-1996) for this study came from KIRIS Cycle 2 data. The dependent variable was a composite score of student performance on constructed-response reading, mathematics, science, and social studies tests. The study found …
Population Change, Economic Restructuring, And The Evolving Landscape Of Retail Activities In The Rural Great Plains, Alexander C. Vias
Population Change, Economic Restructuring, And The Evolving Landscape Of Retail Activities In The Rural Great Plains, Alexander C. Vias
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Over the past 15 to 20 years, changes such as retail concentration (fewer, larger stores owned by fewer corporations), technological innovation, and new labor practices have transformed the retail industry. These broad changes affect rural communities where the retail sector still employs a large portion of the workforce. When combined with the declining population of many rural areas in regions like the Great Plains, the impact of retail change is even more significant. Explored in this paper is how restructuring in the retail sector is accelerating the loss of retail firms in many rural parts of the Great Plains, a …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
In response to pressing financial distress as a result of escalating health care expenditures, Bureau of National Health Insurance (NHI) has adopted various deliberate policy interventions to increase the sources of incomes and meanwhile enhance cost containment. Co-payment policy is one measure often taken when focusing on demand-side mechanism, which aims to reduce the potential misuse of medical resources by the insured through cost sharing. The co-payment policy for outpatient rehabilitation services implemented since August, 1999 is one good example.The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the co-payment policy on the utilization pattern of hospital outpatient …

A Pitfall Of Using Ultrasonography In Evaluating Ruptured Long Head Tendon Of The Biceps Brachii: A Casereport, Chien-Hung Shih, Chung-Che Lin, I-Ru Chen, Ya-Fang Lee
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Musculoskeletal ultrasonography is a widely used diagnostic tool to visualize shoulder tendon pathology. The diagnostic accuracy for biceps tendon pathology is high. An empty groove may be seen when there is complete rupture, and the long head tendon markedly retracts into the arm. We report a case of ruptured tendon of the right biceps brachii in a 55-year-old male injured during pull-up exercise 2 years ago. Sonography demonstrated the presence of echoic material filling the bicipital groove. This material erroneously resembled the biceps tendon and resulted in a false first impression of intact tendon. However, a careful longitudinal scan failed …

Follow-Up And Treatment Of Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction With Compromised Upper Urinary Tract: A Casereport, Su-Ju Tsai, Yu-Hui Huang, Yu-Pei Chien, Fan-Fei Tseng
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
In spinal cod injury (SCI) patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction (NBD), detrusor hyperreflexia and poor bladder compliance may lead to increased intravesical pressure and other adversities, including urinary tract infection, hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux, and impairment of renal function. The primary objectives of urologic care after SCI are to provide an acceptable method for managing the lower urinary tract, to prevent urinary complications, and to preserve renal function. Because urologic status can change or deteriorate many years after the initial injury, sometimes without symptoms, lifelong urologic follow-up is fundamental for all SCI patients with NBD. Strategy of bladder management in individuals …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common causes of shoulder disability in middle-aged and elderly people. Although many patients with rotator cuff tear have pain and dysfunction, there is a great variability in the clinical manifestations. The management of rotator cuff tear includes non-operative and operative methods. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of rehabilitation and to compare the rehabilitation effects between patients receiving operation or not.Twenty-two patients were enrolled in this study (13 operative and 9 non-operative). Each subject received rehabilitation therapy (including heat packing, TENS, massage, and therapeutic exercise) twice a …

The Pressure Distribution Of Hemiplegics At The Femoral Greater Trochanter And Sacrum In Different Bed Positions, Chin-Teng Chung, Wei-Feng Tang, Chorng-Song Chou, Lu-Han Liu, May-Hua Liao, Yu-Chun Yin
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Pressure ulcers frequently develop in hemiplegic stroke patients who are immobilized and bedridden. Common sites for pressure ulcers include the sacrum, greater trochanter of the femur, lateral malleolus, and the heel. Such ulcers cause extra burdens for the whole medical team, the caregiver, and the patients themself. The ulcers also increase more medical cost at the same time. Patients with pressure ulcers also become depressed and less motivated to undergo rehabilitation. The prevention of pressure ulcer formation has thus become an important issue among stroke patients.The most important factor in pressure ulcer formation is the direct pressure of the mattress …
