The Intergenerational Effects From Structural Racism Cost Our Society Greatly

Structural racism is historically rooted, and has been a foundation for United States immigration policy. This injustice has intergenerational effects that cost society greatly – with impacts on social cohesion, individual and collective health, and well-being, and ultimately our ability to function as a civil society. Limited pathways to citizenship and major restrictions to resources that promote integration have adverse consequences for immigrants and, their families. Research shows that children experience toxic stress that negatively impacts their long-term health and development from heightened immigration enforcement, regardless of any personal impact. In embracing the next generation of children, we will not succeed unless we support sound integration policies that promote the health and well-being of immigrant families across this nation. We must recognize how intricately our fates and our health are tied to each other; we all depend on immigrants being well. We must advance new a social contract, one that counters the ‘othering’ of immigrants” and recognizes that we must invest in the health and well-being of all families.

Roadmap for the next generation of Children's Oncology Group rhabdomyosarcoma trials.

Clinical trials conducted by the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) Study Group and the Children's Oncology Group have been pivotal to establishing current standards for diagnosis and therapy for RMS. Recent advancements in understanding the biology and clinical behavior of RMS have led to more nuanced approaches to diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment. The complexities introduced by these advancements, coupled with the rarity of RMS, pose challenges to conducting large-scale phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate new treatment strategies for RMS. Given these challenges, systematic planning of future clinical trials in RMS is paramount to address pertinent questions regarding the therapeutic efficacy of drugs, biomarkers of response, treatment-related toxicity, and patient quality of life. Herein, the authors outline the proposed strategic approach of the Children's Oncology Group Soft Tissue Sarcoma Committee to the next generation of RMS clinical trials, focusing on five themes: improved novel agent identification and preclinical to clinical translation, more efficient trial development and implementation, expanded opportunities for knowledge generation during trials, therapeutic toxicity reduction and quality of life, and patient engagement.

Health Education of Parents About Baby Massage for Stunting Toddler in The Working Area of The Sumbergempol Puskesmas 2024

The decline in stunting rates in Indonesia is very slow. Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in toddlers under 5 years of age which can have a long-term impact on the quality and productivity of the nation's next generation of children. In this era of development, many parents still believe in shamans and lack knowledge about the many benefits of baby massage which can help optimize children's growth and development to prevent stunting. This community service aims to provide health education to parents about baby massage to reduce stunting rates. The results and discussion of this community service were positive responses from 30 parents who had taken part in the activity of providing health education about the benefits of baby massage on children's growth and development. Providing intervention in the form of baby massage can stimulate growth hormones in children so that mothers or parents have the knowledge and motivation to carry out baby massages regularly. The conclusion from this community service is that there is a significant influence of health education about baby massage on mothers' attitudes towards being able to do baby massage as an effort to prevent stunting.

Impletentasi Konsep Pendidikan Akhlak Luqmanul Hakim di Era Society 5.0: Kajian Tafsir Al-Misbah

Humans as creatures who can be educated and educated (homo educandum) are implemented in educational activities in which there are educators and students as the main objects of education. Students from an educational perspective are often referred to as immature people, so they need help from other people who are considered adults. This process of assistance is called education (Daradjat 2006). The most basic education grows from the family environment, because it is from the family that the nation's next generation of children grows. The growth of a child's attitudes and behavior depends on the parents' educational patterns, especially how parents prepare their children in the Society 5.0 era, which has both positive and negative impacts on their lives. In fact, Islam has its own concept in educating children, but due to increasingly rapid technological developments, parents are paying less attention to educating children, especially educating a child's morals. The concept of moral education recommended by Islamic law is contained in the Koran, Surah Luqman, verses 12-19. The aims of this research are: 1) To find out who Luqmanul Hakim is in the Koran; 2) To find out Luqmanul Hakim's message about moral education according to the interpretation of Muhammad Quraish Shihab in the Al-Misbah tafsir and Mustafa Al-Maraghi in the Al-Maraghi tafsir 3) How is it implemented in the Era of Society. This research uses qualitative research with the type of library research. The data sources used are primary data sources which are the main data sources directly related to the research object including: QS Luqman verses 12-19 and their translations, Al Misbah's interpretation and Al Maraghi's interpretation then secondary data sources which include: journals, hadith and books -books that support and complement primary data. The data analysis used is a descriptive method. The research results show that: 1) Luqmanul Hakim is a noble servant of Allah and was chosen as a role model in educating children; 2) so that when educating children, it should be based on full love for their children by giving advice in the form of faith, monotheism and muamalah. These advices will lead their children to become noble, knowledgeable young people with a nation and state. noble morals too; 3) The importance of Moral Education in the Society 5.0 era as a bulwark for using technology as expected.

The role of positionality in research ‘gone wrong’: critical reflections on research involving young people

ABSTRACT In this Viewpoint, we consider the importance of positionality in research ‘gone wrong’. We focus on the intersections of age, gender and appearance. Reflecting on two doctoral research projects involving young people (one about alcohol consumption practices and another about community radio), researched by us – young female researchers, we reveal unanticipated ethical dilemmas from the field. These include: being fancied by a male participant; a young male participant asking if he could stay at the researcher’s home; and being asked to buy alcohol for young participants. Now established academics, we feel able to reflect critically on such complex and unanticipated research situations. We hope being candid about these ethical quandaries will inspire the next generation of children’s geographers to consider the importance of reflexivity around positionality as they embrace the inherent messiness of research ethics.

Guest Editorial-SOLUTIONS OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY-AND-MALNUTRITION

Childhood obesity and malnutrition have taken up prime importance for the medical community. This becomes much more important for the sport academies, who like to train and to groom national and international athletes. As early as the turn of this century, Ludwig (2007) discussed 4 phases of obesity pandemic, deliberating upon their long-term effects. Phase I, from 1970 till 2007, would have cases of obesity on rise due to lack of awareness of its damaging effects. After 2007, Phase II would appear with grave medical conditions as type-II diabetes, fatty lever and a number of psychosocial problems. In Phase III, the situation would, further, deteriorate and life-threatening diseases, like coronary heart disease, kidney failure and many more would increase mortality rate and shorten life expectancy of population of the United States. In Phase IV, the prevalence of weight-related diseases would accelerate more resulting in non-genetic influences in children, if such a trend continued. In an e-communication to Rafia Imtiaz (student of the author), Ludwig explained, “Phase IV of the epidemic would develop slowing over time, as obese children grow up and give birth to the next generation of children.” A year earlier, Collins et al. (2006) described programs for management of severe acute malnutrition in children.
 The author and his group have been working in devising solutions of childhood obesity-and-malnutrition since the turn of this century. The first- to the tenth-generation solutions have been proposed from 2013 to this year (Kamal, 2022b). The prime challenges are (a) weight management according to the height, computed from Growth-and-Obesity Roadmaps, within the next half-a-year, so that the youngster does not become wasted based on recommendations according to the most-recently-measured height and (b) absence of a proper definition of obesity in children. Professor Claude Marcus, Head, Division of Pediatrics, Karoliska University Hospital, National Childhood Obesity Center, Karoliska Institutet, Sweden, commented on the author’s proposed definition of childhood obesity (Kamal, 2017): “Thank you very much. We are deeply concerned about how to define obesity and degree of obesity so we can follow effects of treatment over time and association with co-morbidities. The present obesity curves are unreliable and we are now trying to identify new ways to follow obese children over time. Therefore, your paper is welcome to us.” These solutions have extended nutritional-status categories from pre-2014, three to twenty three in 2021, differentiating between instantaneous obesity (wasting) and true obesity (wasting), combined with instantaneous tallness (stunting) and true tallness (stunting). Severity of acute malnutrition is categorized as mild, intermediate and extreme, in order to make it easy to devise appropriate intervention strategies (Kamal, 2022b).
 These efforts have paid off in terms of saving the life of a cardiac patient (Kamal, 2015) and sparing an apparently-stunted child from unnecessary treatment (Kamal, 2022a).
 Future work should feature the eleventh-generation solution of childhood obesity-and-malnutrition, Growth-and-Obesity Roadmaps 5.0 for children of still-growing parents (expected to appear in January 2023) as well as Growth-and-Obesity Roadmaps for children participating in gymnastics. The author hopes that these mathematical-statistical tools should help school-health-team members, sport instructors, teachers and parents devise and implement programs to raise healthy and fit children, which should become pride of our nation!

Intragroup Communication Between Parents and Children in Educating Cocoa Generation in South Sulawesi

The purpose of the study was to analyze the role of parents through intragroup communication in educating the next generation of children to love cocoa. A qualitative approach, namely a case study of a cocoa farmer family in educating and motivating children. Data collection techniques were non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and The Focus Group Discussion on nine cocoa farming families with children 7-19 years old by purposive sampling. The findings of the research on the role of parents in intragroup communication first, the dominant activity of parents and their proactively taking part in children directly teaches, involves, and instils motivation. Second, the category of activity and high participation from parents. Third, the dominant child is proactive and participative, playing an independent learning role, and is motivated as a cocoa farmer. This research impacts the urgency of family communication in the regeneration's sustainability of cocoa farmers' children in supporting government programs to increase the productivity of cocoa plants.

The intergenerational effects of paternal incarceration on children's social and psychological well-being from early childhood to adolescence.

The present study sought to unravel the psychological processes through which mass incarceration, specifically paternal incarceration, is negatively affecting the next generation of children. Data came from 4,327 families from 20 cities who participated in a 10-year longitudinal study. Parents and children reported on children's rule-breaking behaviors and depressive symptoms when they were on average ages 5 (2003-2006), 9 (2007-2010), and 15 (2014-2017). Parental surveys and disposition information were combined to assess paternal incarceration at each age. Results showed that children who experienced paternal incarceration at age 5 also demonstrated more rule-breaking behaviors at age 15. Children's age-9 depressive symptoms partially mediated our finding, such that children who experienced paternal incarceration at age 5 also showed greater depressive symptoms at age 9, which in turn predicted greater rule-breaking behaviors at age 15. Paternal incarceration predicted future rule-breaking behaviors more strongly than did other forms of father loss. Because we found paternal incarceration during childhood is associated with worsened adjustment into adolescence, we discussed the need for developmentally appropriate practices in the criminal justice system.

Talking about Race with Children

ABSTRACT Racism and white supremacy are deeply entrenched in the fabric of the United States. Although race is a social construct, it has real consequences on people’s lives that cannot and should not be ignored. Race plays a significant role in how we view ourselves as racial beings. So much of who we are is shaped by our racial and ethnic identity. Children’s racial and ethnic culture shape how they see themselves in the world and greatly influences their sense of self and identity. As racial tensions increase in our society and the backlash to racial equity is continually challenged, conversations about race and racism are necessary in multiple contexts. These conversations are particularly important to have in our families as all parents have a responsibility in raising the next generation of children that are equipped to challenge racism and deconstruct white supremacy.

Dynamic associations among socioeconomic status (SES), parenting investments, and conscientiousness across time and generations.

Building on recommendations from several of the articles in the special section on conscientiousness in the June 2014 issue of Developmental Psychology, the present study tested predictions from the interactionist model (IM) of socioeconomic influences on individual development. In an approach consistent with the idea of cumulative advantage, the model proposed that adolescent and child conscientiousness would be fostered by higher family socioeconomic status (SES) and the parenting and material investments that SES promotes. The IM also predicted a transactional process in which adolescent conscientiousness would promote future socioeconomic success which, in turn, would foster greater adult conscientiousness. Analyses with a cohort of 347 adolescents followed for over 20 years were largely consistent with these predictions, although the findings suggested some modifications to the IM, including the addition of a stronger direct role for family processes in eventual social and economic outcomes. Moreover, additional analyses with 282 of the children of these cohort members demonstrated that this same process was partially replicated in the next generation of children. The findings suggest reciprocal or transactional influences that promote conscientiousness and accumulating personal, economic, and social advantages over time and generations.

U.S. Opioid Epidemic: Impact on Public Health and Review of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs).

In recent years, the devastating effects of U.S. opioid epidemic has been making news headlines. This report explores background information and trends on opioid misuse, overdose fatalities and its impact on public health. In addition, various efforts to improve surveillance, timeliness of data and Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) integration and interoperability are reviewed. PubMed and internet searches were performed to find information on the U.S. opioid epidemic. In addition, searches were performed to retrieve information about PDMPs and state-specific mandates along with presentation slides and learnings from the 2018 National Rx Drug Abuse & Heroin Summit in Atlanta, GA. It is clear that the U.S. opioid epidemic has a tremendous impact on public health including the next generation of children. Various data, surveillance & technology-driven efforts including CDC-Funded Enhanced State Opioid Overdose Surveillance Program (ESOOS) and use of telemedicine for opioid use disorder treatment aim to improve prevention, treatment and targeted interventions. In addition, PDMP integration and interoperability efforts are advancing to provide prescribers meaningful decision support tools. The opioid epidemic has a complex impact on public health intertwined with variable factors such as mental health and social determinants of health. Given the statistics and studies that suggest many of the illicit opioid users start with prescription opioids, continued advancement in the area of PDMP integration and interoperability is necessary. The PDMP integrated clinical decision support systems need to supply to healthcare providers access to complete, timely and evidence-based information that can meaningfully inform prescribing decisions and communication with patients that affect measurable outcomes. While Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) are valuable tools for providers in making informed prescribing decisions, the variable state mandates and varying degrees of integration and interoperability across states may limit their potential as meaningful decision support tools. Sharing best practices, challenges and lessons learned among states and organizations may inform strategic and systematic use of PDMPs to improve public health outcomes.

Online Shopping Behavior Pattern among School Children

Online Shopping has become an important aspect among parents and childrens’ routine life. Shopping everything that wee desire, sitting in one place is easy now, due to the advancement in technologies. Online shopping among adults is common, but in this paper, we highlight childrens’ online shopping behavior. Here the researcher attempts to understand childrens’ awareness of online shopping, preferences applications, motivating and encouraging factors towards online shopping. This paper reports on recent research, which was undertaken among school-going childrens’ at Tamilnadu. A structured questionnaire was developed and distributed among a sample of 380 school children, among which 32.4% were male children and 67.6% were female children. Social media plays a vital role in childrens’ behavior patterns. The next generation of children will be more addicted to Online Shopping, since this is a recent survey, which will enable us to find exactly the factors which are responsible for triggering them to shop online. Recent advancements in online shopping technologies have provided children, to use this unique opportunity to learn and teach parents as well. Upon exploration from the data collected, childrens’ preferences and choices towards the online shopping has been identified.

EDUCATION IN 21ST CENTURY, A CHALLENGE

We are in the 21st century and it is time we take stock of what we have achieved in the field of education, what have been our failures and whether we need to continue in the same direction into this century or do things differently. In considering this question I would like to explore the situation globally and not with reference to any particular nation; also I would like to give a wide meaning to that word education, to cover the entire process of bringing up the next generation of children into adulthood and not limit it to only what transpires in a classroom in the school. A child is educated by the entire environment in which it grows, and that environment is determined equally by the parents, the teachers and the society around him/her. All this and more determines the kind of individual we produce, which in turn determines the kind of society we live in.

Caring claims and the relational self across time: grandmothers overcoming reproductive crises in rural China

Revisiting the notion of relational personhood from a Chinese perspective, this article explores the premises of exchange underlying discourses of care, reproduction, and kinship in anthropology. Grandmothers contribute much of the care needed for reproduction of the next generation of children in the Chinese countryside. Their motivation to contribute care to secure offspring stems from the frustration of their past familial desires, and their hopes for transcendence through reproduction in the future. Grandmothers secure claims to offspring through their care between the interstices of the state bureaucracy and patrilineal norms. This care is not simply nurturing but can also become coercive and competitive. As Chinese grandmothers overcome past reproductive hardships by claiming future offspring through care, their selfhood not only becomes distributed through exchange with others, but also is dispersed across time in relation to past experiences and future aspirations of the self.

Can Small-Scale Agricultural Production Improve Children's Health? Examining Stunting Vulnerability among Very Young Children in Mali, West Africa

Stunting affects an individual's educational and wage-earning potential and can even affect the next generation of children. Most research of childhood stunting focuses on the determinants and correlates that lead to stunting—through nutritional or early infant experiences, with one potential solution to stunting being an increased supply of locally produced food. This research examines the interplay of community-level cropped area as a factor relating to childhood stunting. We use the most recently collected Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data for Mali, very high resolution remotely sensed imagery, and other remotely sensed data relating to geophysical characteristics to examine the impact of local cultivation on children's health. We focus on evaluating the environmental, community, household, and individual characteristics of the children who report healthy anthropometrics despite the presence of specific stunting risk factors. In adopting this approach to studies of children's health we can shed light on how small-scale agricultural production impacts childhood stunting among at-risk children.

Children and young people with perinatal HIV in Europe: epidemiological situation in 2014 and implications for the future.

Accurate ascertainment of the number of children living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is important to plan paediatric and adolescent health services. In Europe, the first generation of perinatally HIV-infected survivors are transferring to adult care and their health needs are unknown. We undertook an online survey of HIV cohort studies participating in the EuroCoord Network of Excellence to ascertain the number of perinatally HIV-infected (pHIV) patients included, to compare it with those published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and to assess the ability of countries to follow up pHIV patients after transfer to adult care. At the end of 2013, 16 countries in EuroCoord reported 8,229 pHIV patients in follow-up in cohorts, compared with 5,160 cumulative diagnoses reported by the ECDC in the same area. Follow-up of pHIV patients after transfer to adult care varied. It is likely that the number of diagnoses of perinatal HIV reported to ECDC is an underestimate, although this varies by country. Further work is needed to refine estimates and encourage follow-up in adult HIV cohorts to investigate long-term outcomes and improve the care of the next generation of children with HIV.

Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Biotechnology of Elementary Education Preservice Teachers: The first Spanish experience

Due to the important impact that biotechnology has on current Western societies, well-informed critical citizens are needed. People prepared to make conscious decisions about aspects of biotechnology that relate to their own lives. Teachers play a central role in all education systems. Thus, the biotechnological literacy of preservice teachers is an important consideration as they will become an influential collective as future teachers of the next generation of children. The attitudes toward science (and biotechnology) that teachers have affect their behavior and influence the way they implement their daily practice of science teaching in school. This study analyzes the attitudes and knowledge of Spanish preservice teachers toward biotechnology. We designed a new survey instrument that was completed by 407 university students who were taking official degree programs in preschool and primary education. Our results point out that although they are aware of biotechnology applications, topics concerning the structure of DNA, management of genetic information inside the cell, genetically modified organism technology and the use of microorganisms as biotechnological tools were not correctly answered. According to our attitude analysis, Spanish preservice teachers could be defined as opponents of genetically modified product acquisition, supporters of biotechnology for medical purposes and highly interested in increasing their knowledge about biotechnology and other scientific advances. Our results show a positive correlation between better knowledge and more positive attitudes toward biotechnology. A Spanish preservice teacher with positive attitudes toward biotechnology tends to be a student with a strong biology background who scored good marks in our knowledge test.
