Using Health Literacy in School to Overcome Inequalities     

Ainhoa Flecha  Rocío García  Rima Rudd 《European Journal of Education》2011,46(2):209-218

Health literacy has firmly established the links between literacy skills and health outcomes and is subsequently considered a key strategy for improving the health of disadvantaged populations and addressing social inequality. However, current research findings for improving health literacy have primarily focused on adults and actions within health and health care settings. Implementation studies outside the health sector are scarce. This study, a subset of the INCLUD-ED community- based project on social inclusion, reports on successful community-based approaches to health literacy. This article focuses on two schools that take advantage of the cultural intelligence of their students' family members, allowing them to make health literacy programmes more effective and useful for the participants. In addition, family involvement in educational activities addressed to children, including health programmes, has been found to improve the health literacy of the participating adults and their use of healthcare services. Findings indicate that schools in Europe can play a key role in breaking the cycle of health inequalities by promoting health literacy through education.  相似文献   

美国三大国家图书馆网站隐私政策比较研究     

付立宏  李平辉 《图书馆杂志》2011,(11):82-85

美国国会图书馆、国家医学图书馆和国家农业图书馆网站的隐私政策涉及用户信息收集的内容与目的、收集方法、个人信息的共享性、用户的选择与拒绝权、儿童隐私、网站链接以及网络交通安全,具有许多可取之处,也存在一些不足,但仍对我国图书馆界保护用户隐私具有借鉴意义。  相似文献

省属高校图书馆学科馆员角色定位探讨     

漆俐红  储冬红 《图书馆学研究》2011,(24):74-76

"学科馆员"是图书馆学界的一个全新的研究领域,在高校学科建设中起着重要作用。高校图书馆学科馆员的角色定位直接关系到学科服务工作的开展与成败。省属高校无论在硬件、软件方面都与重点高校存在距离,所以重点高校对学科馆员的定位并不适合省属高校。省属高校图书馆学科馆员的角色定位应为"联络、导航、教育"。  相似文献

儒家与基督教孝文化对比     

王利红 《科教文汇》2011,(25):17-18

从1993年美国哈佛大学亨廷顿提出文明冲突的观点以来,涌现出了大量关于基督教、儒教之间的同异对比、彼此之间的融合和互补以及如何通过取己之长、补己之短构建适应当代全球化社会的一种普世伦理的论述。鉴于孝文化作为儒家与基督教文化共有的观念与实践,本文从伦理学视角对儒家与基督教孝文化的渊源与实践作了对比,并同时探讨了构建适应当代全球化社会环境的一种新型孝文化,综合儒家基督教之长,以更好地应对即将来临的人口老龄化社会。  相似文献   

Effects of cold water immersion on the recovery of physical performance and muscle damage following a one-off soccer match     

Ascensão A  Leite M  Rebelo AN  Magalhäes S  Magalhäes J 《Journal of sports sciences》2011,29(3):217-225

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a single session of cold or thermoneutral water immersion after a one-off match on muscular dysfunction and damage in soccer players. Twenty-male soccer players completed one match and were randomly divided into cryotherapy (10 min cold water immersion, 10°C, n = 10) and thermoneutral (10 min thermoneutral water immersion, 35°C, n = 10) groups. Muscle damage (creatine kinase, myoglobin), inflammation (C-reactive protein), neuromuscular function (jump and sprint abilities and maximal isometric quadriceps strength), and delayed-onset muscle soreness were evaluated before, within 30 min of the end, and 24 and 48 h after the match. After the match, the players in both groups showed increased plasma creatine kinase activity (30 min, 24 h, 48 h), myoglobin (30 min) and C-reactive protein (30 min, 24 h) concentrations. Peak jump ability and maximal strength were decreased and delayed-onset muscle soreness increased in both groups. However, differential alterations were observed between thermoneutral water and cold water immersion groups in creatine kinase (30 min, 24 h, 48 h), myoglobin (30 min), C-reactive protein (30 min, 24 h, 48 h), quadriceps strength (24 h), and quadriceps (24 h), calf (24 h) and adductor (30 min) delayed-onset muscle soreness. The results suggest that cold water immersion immediately after a one-off soccer match reduces muscle damage and discomfort, possibly contributing to a faster recovery of neuromuscular function.  相似文献   

How full is your luggage? Background knowledge of zoo visitors regarding sharks     

João Pedro Correia das Neves  Rute Cristina Rocha Monteiro 《Environmental Education Research》2014,20(3):291-312

For the general population, sharks have a reputation that does not really fit with their biological and ecological nature. Informal surveys often classify sharks as dangerous, aggressive and/or man-eaters. This apparent common knowledge seems difficult to detach from the conscience of many worldwide zoo visitors, even with the help of shark-focused educational programmes. As so, how can zoos and aquariums contribute to a change in this paradigm? Are the education and conservation strategies effective to the average zoo visitor? In this study, young visitors’ perceptions regarding sharks were assessed with the goal of identifying a valid Learning Progression, thus helping to update and develop different and more effective educational strategies and methodologies. The study took place at Zoomarine, an oceanographic park located in southern Portugal, with visitors aged between 8 and 16. A case study was conducted using a qualitative research approach (drawings and interviews) resulting in a Learning Progression Hypothesis. The proposed Learning Progression is composed of three knowledge levels for the participants’ biological perceptions regarding sharks. The results of this study showed a clear predominance of anthropomorphic and anthropocentric visions, as well as a utilitarian view of sharks and ecosystem, thus conditioning the visitors’ epistemological knowledge.  相似文献
