A small-scale ethnographic case study of young children's learning from television in southern Illinois provides understanding about the frameworks used for interpreting media use in family life. The research consisted of in-home interviews about patterns of using the media, observations, and family diaries of children's viewing behavior to examine family engagement with a prosocial television program, Shalom Sesame, depicting Jewish culture, Hebrew language, holidays, and the land of Israel. Family responses to the program are identified in terms of appeal, use, and overall fit with Jewish identity and tradition in the homes. Data analysis reveals that quality educational program features of Shalom Sesame such as repetition, role models, humor, on screen textual cues, and follow-up activities in the home support learning. The case study concludes that Shalom Sesame helps connect families with young children, especially those who are isolated from other members of their minority, to the larger community of diverse Jewish people and culture around the globe.

In Venezuela rainfall-induced crust is the main problem in obtaining adequate stands of sesame (Sesamwn indicum L.) The effectiveness of seven commercially available soil conditioners to prevent soil crusting and their influence on sesame seedling emergence was tested on Parlo silt loam. The chemicals were sprayed on the soil surface at different rates and dilutions . The rates were established to give about the same treatment cost. Two chemica 1 s: a polyviny 1 aJ cohol (El vanol 71-30) and an anionic asphalt emulsion (Humofina B-2864) gave the greatest increase in sesame seedling emergence. Thereafter, the two chemicals were tested on two Utah soils (Parlo silt loam and Nib l ey silty c l ay loam) and four Venezuelan soils. Three of the Venezuelan soils (Turen silt loam , Nontilled Turen silt loam, and Agua Blanca si lty clay l oam) were sampled in areas actually being used for sesame production, but with problems of soil crusting. TI1e fourth Venezuelan soil (Guanipa sand) was collected in an area where sesame has recently been introduced.

Denna studies syfte är undersöka hur elevhälsoteamet på en gymnasieskola inom Västmanlands Län arbetar med att främja gymnasieelevernas psykiska hälsa. För att möjliggöra studien tillämpades en kvalitativ metod för att få ta del av personers erfarenheter och upplevelser kring ämnesområdet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med ett antal intervjupersoner som identifierades genom ett målinriktat urval där alla deltagare arbetar inom elevhälsoteamet på en gymnasieskola inom Västmanlands Län. Det insamlade materialet analyserade med en manifest innehållsanalys där ett resultat kunde uttolkas.   Intervjupersonerna upplevde att det den psykiska hälsan påverkades av den fysiska hälsan. För att kunna vara nöjd med sig själv beskrev intervjupersonerna att det krävdes att uppnå ett stabilt och positivt hälsotillstånd. I det praktiska arbetet upplevdes en avsaknad av en handlingsplan eller tydliga riktlinjer trots att intervjupersonerna arbetade aktivt med att främja gymnasieelevernas psykiska hälsa. Intervjupersonerna betonade att det var bristande fokus på psykisk hälsa och främjande arbete. Hur intervjupersonerna uppskattade sitt hälsofrämjande arbete var främst genom betyg, gymnasieelevernas skolutveckling och förändring i närvaro, engagemang och humör. Det föreligger utvecklingsmöjligheter där implementering av handlingsplan eller arbetsmodell skulle förbättra det hälsofrämjande arbetet på gymnasieskolan. Denna studie tar slutligen upp SESAME arbetsmodell som ett förslag att tillämpa för elevhälsoteamet och deras arbete med att främja gymnasieelevernas psykiska hälsa. / The purpose of this study is to examine how the school health unit at a high school in Vastmanlands County is working to promote mental health among the students. To enable the study a qualitative method was applied in order to understand how the health unit works around the subject. Semistructured interviews was carried out with a number of persons who were identified through a targeted selection. Where all were working as a part of the school health unit at a high school in Vastmanlands County. With a manifest content analysis the collected material could show a result from those interviewed.  The result demonstrated that there was a connection between how the mental health was affected by the physical health. In order to achieve a stable and positive health condition it required a person to be satisfied with oneself. The practical work lacked a plan of action or guidelines although personel were working actively to promote the mental health among the students. It was underlined that there was a lack of attention specifically regarding the mental health and the health promotion. The results of the health promotion work were estimated mainly via grades, students school development and changes in attending school, commitment and mood. There are development possibilities in which implementation of a plan of action or a working model could improve the health promotion work in high school. Finally this study suggests applying SESAME as a working model in the health promotion work for the health school unit in order to promote the mental health among the students.
