Placement characteristics and stability: a longitudinal analysis of Norwegian children in foster homes

2015

This paper investigates how enhanced support for foster parents, such as covering fees and providing consultants and relief, may reduce the number of replacements experienced by children in foster care. It also investigates the extent to which replacements are associated with family (kin) vs. non-family foster parents, or with legal characteristics of the placement (i.e. forced administrative decisions vs. relief measures agreed upon by the parents). Statistical analyses of administrative data from Norway investigated the longitudinal relationships between these characteristics and the number of replacements at two levels – children (N = 16 109) and municipalities (N = 418) – over 5 years (…

”En ny hverdag”. Mødres opplevelse av hverdagen med et prematurt barn, og støtten ved en ressurshelsestasjon

2015

The study explores mothers’ of premature infants experience of how health centers especially adapted for families with premature infants can help them to cope with everyday life after discharge from a neonatal intensive care unit. Background: Premature children are at higher risk for physical and mental health problems, which makes parenting demanding. The transition between hospital and home is a challenging period where parents may need extra support to cope with everyday life. Method: Nine mothers of premature infants receiving follow-up care at a health center especially adapted for families with premature infants were interviewed. Data were analyzed by Kvale and Brinkmann’s guidelines …

La fabrication parentale de l'excellence scolaire

La fabrication parentale de l'excellence scolaire SANDRINE GARCIA, Professeure en sciences de l'éducation à l'lREDU (université de Bourgogne). Article paru dans SCIENCES HUMAINES, n°318, Octobre 2019, pp. 38-41 Dans les catégories sociales moyennes et supérieures, les parents interviennent massivement dans la scolarité de leurs enfants : préapprentissage de la lecture, suivi des devoirs, entraînements supplémentaires, etc. Un travail souvent caché, qui vient façonner les dispositions scolaires de ces élèves. Pourquoi les enfants des milieux favorisés réussissent-ils mieux à l'école ? Cette question semble avoir été réglée dès les années 1960. Dans leurs ouvrages phare, Les Héritiers et La R…

Omontrasfobia: bavaglio a misura dei genitori

2020

Dietro la proposta di Legge dell’on. Zan c’è un attacco alla libertà di pensiero tutelata dall’art. 21 della Costituzione italiana e una limitazione alla libertà educativa dei genitori. Nei Paesi dove leggi analoghe sono in vigore lo Stato è già intervenuto a modificare l’orientamento sessuale dei giovani appoggiandosi unicamente su psicologi e medici favorevoli alla fluidità sessuale e senza il consenso parentale. Behind the Zan law proposal, there is an attack on freedom of thought protected by art. 21 of the Italian Constitution and a restriction on the educational freedom of parents. In countries, where similar laws already exist, the State has already intervened to change the sexual or…

Clinical characteristics of patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis carrying the pathogenic GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion of C9…

2012

A large hexanucleotide (GGGGCC) repeat expansion in the first intron of C9ORF72, a gene located on chromosome 9p21, has been recently reported to be responsible for 40% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cases of European ancestry. The aim of the current article was to describe the phenotype of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cases carrying the expansion by providing a detailed clinical description of affected cases from representative multi-generational kindreds, and by analysing the age of onset, gender ratio and survival in a large cohort of patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We collected DNA and analysed phenotype data for 141 index Italian familial amyotrophic l…

What is the influence of parents' myopia on their children's myopic progression? A 22-year follow-up study.

2016

Purpose To study the connection between parental myopia and their children's myopia from school age to adulthood. Methods Two hundred and forty myopic schoolchildren (119 boys, 121 girls, mean age 10.9 years) with no previous spectacles for myopia were recruited to a 3-year treatment trial with different use of spectacles. Follow-ups were performed at mean ages of 13.9, 23.7 and 33.2 years for 238, 176 and 170 subjects respectively. Subjective refraction was calibrated to the spherical equivalent at corneal level (SEcor). Corneal refractive power (CR) and axial length (AL) were measured. Parental myopia was assessed with a questionnaire and the children assigned accordingly to one of three …

Mater semper certa est ? Passé, présent, avenir d'un adage, Actes du colloque de Dijon des 24-25 novembre 2016, K. Fiorentino et A. Fiorentino (dir.)…

2018

International audience; La preuve de la filiation maternelle, résumée par l’un des adages les plus connus en droit de la famille, Mater semper certa est, a pendant longtemps semblé être une évidence voulue par la nature, donc ne posant que peu de problème juridique, à l’inverse de la paternité. Pourtant, l’évidence a-t-elle toujours été aussi flagrante ? Pourquoi ressentir le besoin de forger un adage ? Quelle fut sa valeur et a-t-il toujours parfaitement reflété la réalité ? Force est de constater que si la maternité est certaine, la preuve de celle-ci se heurte à plusieurs difficultés tant matérielles que processuelles. Il s’agit donc ici de s’interroger sur la place accordée en droit à l…

Assessment of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in young adolescents following implementation of smoke-free policy in Italy.

2009

We investigated acute and chronic exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in a cohort of young adolescents using urinary cotinine and hair nicotine testing after recent implementation of Italian smoke free legislation. Study subjects were 372 Italian young adolescents, between 10 and 16 years of age from the principal city of Sicily, Palermo. Urine and hair samples were collected between November 2005 and May 2006, when the legislation to ban smoking in all the enclosed places of employment (including bars, restaurants, pubs) was completely enforced. An exhaustive questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics and active and passive exposure to cigarette smoking was complete…

Clinical effects of a Long-term Educational Program for Children with Asthma - Aironet®. A 1-yr randomized controlled trial

2009

Educational self-management programs for children with asthma have now become a routine feature in the management of the disease, as international guidelines underline. We designed this trial to find out whether Aironet, an educational program developed for children with asthma, influenced asthma severity and improved parents' knowledge of the disease. In a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial we enrolled 123 children, 72 boys, mean age 8.78 yr (+/-2.33 s.d.), with intermittent or mild persistent asthma. Participants were randomly assigned to an education group, who received Aironet at baseline and 2 months later (60 children), or to a control group who did not (63 children…
