Diminishing demandingness of parents;children with recurrent infections

Background and Method: Parenting and parenting styles are in favor of authoritative parents compared with non-authoritative parents. These parents display higher levels of both responsiveness and demandingness. We studied the aspect of demandingness using a questionnaire aimed at children aged between 1 and 4 years. 82 Children with recurrent respiratory infections (RRI) and 399 control children were included. Results: Parents of RRI children regulated the quantitative dietary intake of their child less;likewise they gave less stimulation to their children to eat. They also taught their children less on what they can or cannot touch and they argued more with their children (all p < 0.05). However, when it comes to simple rules like watching television or not, the parents of RRI children were very clear. There were however no differences in rules about television watching, computer time or bedtimes. Conclusions: Our study shows that parents of children with RRI are less demanding in complex pedagogic situations that ask for creativity from the parents. However, they are demanding with respect to simple rules. We found no child factors that could explain why children give their parents a hard time. We hypothesize that the parents of RRI children could be less capable of handling complex pedagogic situations (even more complicated by the infections) instead of being unwilling.

Evaluation of large language models for the classification of medical device software

Amidst the rapidly expanding integration of large language models(LLMs)across various sectors(ranging from everyday applications to specialized fields demanding stringent regulatory adherence),our investigation seeks to determine how well these models can support medical device software classification.Medical device classification functions to systematically categorize devices according to their designated use,associated risk levels,and requisite regulatory oversight,thereby providing a structured framework for ensuring safety and efficacy as mandated by regulatory authorities.

Critical Factors in Managing Relationally Demanding Jobs, in Care for Very Ill and/or Dying Patients: A Phenomenological Study among Public Hospital Nurses

Background: Workload, interpersonal relationships, professional conflict and the emotional cost of providing care are potential sources of stress and burnout among nurses. Based on experiences of hospital nurses, this paper aims to identify critical factors for nurses in managing relationally demanding situations in care for very ill and/or dying patients. Methods: In-depth interviews were carried out with six nurses, working in a medium-sized hospital in Norway. The interviews were analysed using an interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: The lack of identification with the core aspect of the job, relational contact with patients and relatives, and external motivation were found as potential barriers for managing relationally demanding jobs. The results also indicate that the nurses’ experiences of symptoms of burnout can be a result of demands that exceeded the nurses’ resources. A match between personal capacity and demands, mutual support among colleagues and leadership support, and contextual factors are critical to prevent the negative process of burnout. Conclusion: The results underscore the importance of an early response to employees who are beginning to struggle at work and the relevance of a true match between personal capacity and job demands. Moreover support among colleagues and leadership seems critical to prevent a negative process of burnout and help to manage relationally demanding jobs.

Experiences of Staying Healthy in Relationally Demanding Jobs: An Interpretative Phenomenological Study of Work-Engaged Nurses in the Hospital

Background: Based on the experience of hospital nurses, the aim of this study is to explore the phenomenon of how work-engaged nurses stay healthy in relationally demanding jobs involving very sick and/or dying patients. Method: In-depth interviews were conducted with ten work-engaged nurses employed at the main hospital in one region in Norway. The interviews were interpreted using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis method (IPA). Results: The results indicate the importance of using the personal resources: authenticity and a sense of humour for staying healthy. The nurses’ authenticity, in the sense of having a strong sense of ownership towards their personal life experiences, and a sense of having a meaningful life in line with their own values and interests, was an important element when they considered their own health to be good in spite of repetitive strain injuries and perceived stress. These personal resources seem to be positively related to their well-being and work engagement, which serves as an argument for including them among other personal resources, often conceptualized in terms of Psychological Capital (PsyCap). The results also showed that the nurses worked actively and intentionally with conditions that could contribute to safeguarding their own health. Conclusion: The results indicated the importance of stimulating the nurses’ area of knowledge about caring for themselves in order to enable them to maintain good physical and mental health. A focus on self-care should be part of the agenda as early as during nursing education.

英语名词的动词功能

英语中很多名词都具有动词功能,即名词有动词的含义,例如:to have a smode-tosmoke;to pay a visit to China=to viait China;to have a look =to look;to take up arms=to arm oneself;to put an end to something=to end something等等.这些例子里的名词本身都有动词含义,都可以舍去与之搭配的动词而独立作动词用。有时之所以用其名词形式而不用动词形式,多是为了语言关系或句子平衡,因为动词太多会使句子显得太“冲”而不那么文雅,犹如人之缺乏端庄稳重,所以句子规格愈高,名词愈多,动词相对愈少。但有时要达到形象生动,言简意赅的效果,用其动词形式更好。有些同志教授英语时把名词和动词截然分开,忽视它们的双重性,这主要是受了我们母语—汉语影响。因为在汉语中,名词一般只表示人或事物的名称,属性。而在英语中,名词不但可以用作动词而且往往使句子变得更生动,

Action games can enhance reading ability

Much to the chagrin of parents who think their kids should spend less time playing video games and more time studying, time spent playing action video games can actually make dyslexic children read better. In fact, 12 hours of video game play did more for reading skills than is normally achieved with a year of spontaneous reading development or demanding traditional reading treatments. The evidence, appearing in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on February 28, follows from earlier work by the same team linking dyslexia to

The Textbook: Bridge or Wall?

This article has been quoted more than once in support of the idea that teachers should reject textbooks and produce their own custom-made courses for their students.This is not at all what I believe.I am critical of bad or unsuitable textbooks,and I believe that any textbook needs adaptation and supplementation to make it appropriate for a particular group of students.However,producing full-scale language courses is a complex,demanding,and highly-skilled job.As I argue in a later article,to expect a practising teacher to do this is like expecting the first violinist to compose the orchestra's repertoire in his or her spare time.

Designing multi-shelled metal oxides:towards high energy-density lithium-ion batteries

Lithium ion batteries（LIBs）,which dominate today’s portable electronic market,have been actively investigated as energy sources for hybrid and electric vehicles[1].However,their energy density has still fallen short of the increasing and demanding requirements.Currently,the most of cathode materials can only reversibly accept one electron and deliver capacities lower than 200mA h g-1.To obtain high-energy LIBs,the cathode mate-

AN IMPROVED MODEL OF CROP YIELD ESTIMATE BY REMOTE SENSING

S. B. Idso et al. of US presented the model of crop yield estimate of SDD (Stress Degree Days). They made field experiments in several regions of US for a few years, with very good results, the correlative eoefficients being as high as 0.98. In the use of this model, we met two points demanding improvements: (ⅰ) The transition of crop albedo is not sharp enough to decide the day on which summation is to
