From the numerous geographic adventures organized in the past thousand years came only the brief knowledge of the outline of the land and ocean; with the scientific explorations and topographic mapping activities done in the 300-plus years that followed, only about 30% of the land got mapped. But things have been changed greatly since the beginning of the century, when the air planes were put into use for mapping: up to 1950’s, the mapped areas had gone up to 70%; From 1957, a series of resource and environment satellites have been launched one after another,observing the globe, giving coverage of it and providing endlessly varieties of information about the seas and the lands day and night.展开更多

An old granny has prepared a tableful of dishes, waiting for her sons and daughters to come back home to enjoy. But, one after another, her sons and daughters called back, saying that they are unable to return home, because either of working overtime or dining out with friends. The old woman is so tired that she has fallen fast asleep by the table against a background of a grandmother clock ticking away.展开更多

In addition, the interrupted family history itself could be considered part of a person’s risk profile. Aim and methods: Literature analysis was conducted to examine whether there are scientific studies on health development after placement in out-of-home-care in order to recognise any existing medical characteristics that may be relevant for internal medical care. Results: There are few scientific publications on the health development of people after being placed in out-of-home-care. Direct reactions to the stress of being taken into custody include nausea and fever. However, effects that go beyond the acute situation and last into adulthood have also been described, such as AD(H)D, asthma, diabetes, cancer, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (myocardial infarction, stroke), epilepsy and increased overall mortality in adulthood. Studies show that not only previous experience but also the stress of being taken into care is triggers for this. Conclusion: Information about a previous institutionalisation can hence be important for internal medical practice. The available scientific literature shows heterogeneous study methodology and no group of people with experience of out-of-home-placement has yet been scientifically accompanied for a long time period. Further studies on this could help to better weigh up the consequences of omitting and conducting an intervention for child/youth protection as well as to improve the medical care for this group of people.展开更多
