Children’s Hunger Alliance Children’s Hunger Alliance My Healthy People 2020 topic of interest is Nutrition and Weight Status. The goal stated is “to promote health and reduce chronic disease risk through the consumption of healthful diets and achievement and maintenance of healthy body weights.” (Healthy People 2020) There is a nonprofit group called The Children’s Hunger Alliance that helps Ohio children achieve this Healthy People 2020 goal. This organization started in 1970 with one single volunteer and a $5,000 grant. In Ohio over one half million kids go hungry at some time during the year. The Children’s Health Alliance states a simple message, “Hungry children can’t learn.” (Children’s Hunger Alliance) They work with schools, faith based organizations, and child care centers to increase participation in The United States Department of Agricultural meal programs.
Another program is School Nurse Childhood Obesity Prevention Education (SCOPE). This program is a complete, continuing education program created by the National Association of School Nurses to provide methods for school nurses to help students, parents and their community deal with the challenges of childhood obesity (NASN). The U.S. Surgeon General’s “Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity” provides steps to prevent and decrease childhood obesity. Children need to have a thorough medical evaluation by a pediatrician to consider the possibility of a physical cause.
A conceptual framework is a coherent system of interrelated objectives and fundamentals that can lead to consistent standards. 3. The first level of the conceptual framework identifies the recognition and measurement concepts used in establishing accounting standards. 4. The IASB has issued a conceptual framework that is broadly consistent with that of theUnited States.
1. Using the guidelines from this chapter and other sources, evaluate the usability of the page design depicted in PE Figure 8-1. For the most part the page seems usable; the changes I would make are as follows: o Everything should be able to fit on one page to prevent the user from having to scroll. o No indication of a home button, FAQ button o Navigation is not very user friendly, would suggest the use of cookie crumbs. o Not sure what the progress meter is, if it is the page loading then the page load to slow, maybe cut down on the picture sizes to speed loading o Although the use of multiple languages is something the customers may have asked for, I would incorporate a language decoder/changer so that the page is of one language and the customer can select the language to display.
Variation between the ages and their extremes which will let us determine what length we want to show our information, and simple or multiple indicators of variables. The way to operationalize the variables will be to ask questions about what we want to convey, choose a design and method, and data collection. Table 1. Prevalence of obesity among U.S. children and adolescents aged 2-19, for selected years 1963-1965 through 2007-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Data Age(in years)1 | 1963-1965 1966-19702 | 1971-1974 | 1976-1980 | 1988-1994 | 1999-2000 | 2001-2002 | 2003-2004 | 2005-2006 | 2007-2008 | 2009-2010 | 2011-2012 | Total | (3) | 5.0 | 5.5 | 10.0 | 13.9 | 15.4 | 17.1 | 15.5 | 16.9 | 16.9 | 16.9 | 2-5 | (3) | 5.0 | 5.0 | 7.2 | 10.3 | 10.6 | 13.9 | 11.0 | 10.4 | 12.1 | 8.4 | 6-11 | 4.2 | 4.0 | 6.5 | 11.3 | 15.1 | 16.3 | 18.8 | 15.1 | 19.6 | 18.0 | 17.7 | 12-22 | 4.6 | 6.1 | 5.0 | 10.5 | 14.8 | 16.7 | 17.4 | 17.8 | 18.1 | 18.4 | 20.5 | In this chart children’s BMI are compared to the CDC and then it’s determined whether they are
According to Kontchakov, Rodriguez-Muro & Zakharyaschev (2013), the benefits of OBDA include the following: OBDA presents data in a high-level conceptual view; the user is exposed to a rich vocabulary for querying; background knowledge is appended to incomplete data and the client’s queries are supported to different and diverse data sources. Ontologies are used for conceptual data modelling for three different purposes. Firstly, ontology is a source of the knowledge and unexperienced designer can use ontology to get initial domain knowledge. Secondly, some parts of ontology can be used for conceptual data model development.. And finally, all ontology after adaptation can be used for the conceptual data model (Justas and Vasilecas, 2007). Further, the advantage of using ontology for conceptual data modelling is the reusability of domain
IDEA assures that every child with disabilities receives services. Part C is intended for children, birth to 2 years of age and Part B is intended for children, 3 to 21 years of age. However in Section 619 in Part B is specifically targeted towards children ages 3 to 5 years of age. Part C services develop Individualized Family Plans (IFSP), where as Part B services develop Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Both plans include parents in the decision making.
Are the "classic" articles included? Is it well organized (Does it built to a clear statement of "what next"? Is the review redundant or concise? Are you able to detect non-supporting evidence? Is current and relevant references cited and properly interpreted?
The articles present the problem and then give solutions, which allows the media to be easily read. Both articles seem to be very unbiased in presenting information. I have experienced many articles over time with obesity to become very biased, which is why I mentioned them being well balanced. Typically most media articles on obesity point the finger to a fast food chain, government, and lifestyles. Both articles present those issues, but do not blame anyone for the cause of child obesity.
Childhood Obesity in the Early Stages Childhood Obesity The future of our world revolves around our youth. Therefor it is imperative that we, the parents and adults, make sure that we give our children the best chance to be as healthy and productive as can be to ensure the best future. This in turn means that us as parents/ role models need to take control and accept responsibility for our children’s nutritional habits. The percentage of children aged 6–11 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 20% in 2008. (Ogden CL, Carroll MD, Curtin LR, Lamb MM, Flegal KM, 2007-2008).
