Since the inception of the Higher Education Reauthorization Act of 1998 by the United States Congress, there has been limited research conducted on parental notification policies on campuses of Higher Education concerning alcohol and drug offenses committed by students. This study surveyed parents of incoming freshmen at the University of North Texas regarding their perceptions of Parental Notification policies and their perceptions of underage alcohol offenses by gender, age, ethnicity, and parental status. The relationship between parental notification and underage alcohol offenses was also examined. This study, conducted in the summer of 2002, at the University of North Texas had 539 respondents. An instrument developed to determine parental perceptions of underage alcohol use and parental notification consisted of 20 dichotomous questions. Chi-square tests of independence were used to analyze the data because it could calculate the relationships between two sets of nominal data. Data show that most parents want to be notified in all situations involving underage alcohol offenses and their offspring. Generally, parents do not believe their offspring will use alcohol underage as they enter college and that they are not binge drinkers. Females want to be notified about their student's underage alcohol offenses at a higher rate than males. Males want to be notified at a higher rate than females if using alcohol jeopardizes housing or enrollment in school for their student. Native Americans have great concern for their students in all areas of alcohol use and binge drinking. Parents should stay actively involved in the lives of their offspring as they attend institutions of higher education as well as stay involved with the University community in which their student attends.

In Sweden, all school staffs are obligated to notify suspected of child abuse or neglect. The study's purpose is to investigate how the notification requirements in Social Services Act, chapter 14, section 1, are applied in primary schools and how to best collaborate among the team of professionals responsible for dealing with suspected child neglect or abuse. The study's research question is: How do the various professions at school (apart from the teachers) deal with suspicions of child neglect or abuse? How does this affect the school management and structural management of suspected neglect? How is the report prepared and submitted to the social services? The results are based on in-depth interviews with nine people of different professions within the school health. Collaboration within the pupil health team worked mainly very well, but in one case, it did not work well at all. Many times, however, it was a lack of communication between student health teams and the teachers. The main conclusion of the study is that the importance of a well-functioning student health team is of paramount importance for dealing correctly with suspected child neglect. Firstly, this is best achieved by ensuring the quality training for school heads in matters relating to the notification obligation. Secondly, the student health personnel have to be well known faces among the teachers. Thirdly, it is crucial that horizontal cooperation is initiated by the principal. Fourthly, it also emerged that team members, teachers and other staff within the school has to be continuously updated with the details of the notification requirement.

The thesis consists of five chapters, introduction and conclusion. The author of the thesis deals with introduction to the problematics of personal data protection and its relevance in the contemporary world in the introduction of the diploma thesis as well as with demarcation of the aims of the work. In the first chapter, the basic sources of legislation in the area of personal data protection are demarcated, both in Czech and in European and international level. In the second chapter, the attention is paid to the basics of the legislation in the area of personal data protection, whereas the author deals with demarcation of basic concepts, in the second subchapter she gives an overview of basic principles of personal data processing and in the third subchapter she summarizes legal titles for personal data processing. The institute of Data Protection Officer within the meaning of General Regulation is analysed in the third chapter. The first subchapter deals with demarcation of cases where the processor is obliged to designate the Data Protection Officer. The author pays attention to the problematics of requirements for qualification of the Data Protection Officer in the second subchapter. The major theme of third and fourth subchapter is demarcation of Data Protection Officers position to the controller...

Titel: Orosanmälningar i förskolan - En intervjustudie om förskolepersonals perspektiv på orosanmälningar Författare: Anna Sjöström   Tidigare forskning visar att det råder en stor brist på orosanmälningar till socialtjänsten, speciellt från de professionella som arbetar med barn. I den här studien har kvalitativa intervjuer utförts med personal inom förskolan, detta för att ta del av deras subjektiva bild av utsatta barn och anmälningsplikten. Studien gjordes på fyra förskollärare inom förskolan och materialet analyserades sedan med hjälp av systemteori, stämplingsteori och utvecklingspsykopatologins begrepp risk- och skyddsfaktorer. Resultatet visade att anmälningsplikten sågs som både logisk och viktig för förskollärare även om det var svårt att veta vart gränsen gick för när de skulle anmäla. Det var även svårt att se vissa tecken på utsatthet och mer utbildning önskades inom området. Studien visar att det fanns vissa brister i samverkan med socialtjänsten, vilket skulle kunna förbättras genom mer information om socialtjänstens arbete samt ett tätare samarbete. / Title: Notifications of concern in preschool- An interview study on preschool teachers’ perspective of notifications of concern Author: Anna Sjöström   Previous Research shows a shortage of notifications of concern to social services, especially from professionals who work directly with children. In this study, qualitative interviews were made on four preschool teachers to see their subjective view of vulnerable children, and their duty to report. The material obtained was then analyzed based on systems theory, labeling theory and the concepts of developmental psychopathology; risk- and protection-factors. The results show that the informants felt that the duty of notification was logical and important, but they sometimes thought that it was difficult to know the line between reporting or not, they found it difficult to see some of the signs of exposure and they wanted more education in the area. There were also some lack of collaboration with the social services, which they stated could be improved through more information about the work of the social services and a closer cooperation.

A violência contra a mulher é fenômeno universal que atinge todas as classes sociais, etnias, religiões e culturas, ocorrendo em populações de diferentes níveis de desenvolvimento econômico e social. As mulheres que sofrem violência física perpetrada por parceiros íntimos também estão sob risco da violência sexual, indicando uma relação entre a violência física e psicológica. No Brasil, o tema ainda é pouco estudado; existem poucos dados confiáveis da violência sexual no país. A notificação, ponto de partida para a investigação, é muito inferior ao número de agressões que acorrem pelo fato de que muitas vítimas evitam a exposição pública. Mediante esse cenário, o estudo teve como objetivo principal caracterizar o perfil epidemiológico dos casos de violência sexual contra mulheres com idade igual ou superior a 14 anos, registrados na Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Ribeirão Preto - SP. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter descritivo tipo levantamento, no período de 2006 a 2008. Foram consideradas 245 notificações as quais indicaram que 71,84% dos casos registrados eram de mulheres abaixo dos 30 anos, brancas (62,4%), solteiras (68,6%), com um nível educacional baixo (59,2%) e sem nenhuma deficiência descrita (84,9%). O agressor, na maioria dos casos, foi classificado como desconhecido (43,3%), o estupro foi o agravo mais acometido (69%), sendo a residência (33,5%) o local mais frequente em que aconteceu a violência. Sabe-se que à violência sexual, na maioria das vezes, está associada a alguma outra. O presente estudo descreve que 67,8% dos casos registrados apresentavam a violência física associada, com valores similares à violência psicológica que representou 62% dos casos. Em 68% dos casos notificados foram encaminhados para Ambulatório. Como conclusão, o estudo teve como propósito contribuir como mais um instrumento no combate a violência sexual, mediante sua relevância para a Saúde Pública. / Violence against women is a universal phenomenon that affects all social classes, ethnicities, religions and cultures, occurring in populations of different levels of economic and social development. Women who suffer physical violence perpetrated by intimate partners are also at risk of sexual violence, indicating a relationship between physical violence and psychological violence. In Brazil, the subject is still tens studies, and reliable data from sexual violence. The notification, the starting point for research, is much lower than the number of attacks by the fact that many victims avoid public exposure. Under this scenario, the study aimed to characterize the epidemiological profile of cases of sexual violence against women aged 14 years, registered in the Municipal Health Department of Ribeirão Preto - SP. It is a descriptive study of such survey of the period 2006 to 2008. We considered 245 reports which indicated that 71.84% of reported cases were in women under age 30, White (62.4%), single (68.6%), with a low educational level (59.2%) and with no reported disability (84.9%). The attacker, in most cases was classified as unknown (43.3%), rape was most affected tort (69%), and the residence (33.5%) the most frequent site of violence happen. It is known that sexual violence, most often, is associated with some other violence. The present study describes that 67.8% of reported cases had associated physical violence, with values similar to psychological violence was 62% of cases. In 68% of the reported cases were referred to an outpatient clinic. In conclusion, the study aimed to contribute as one more as a tool in combating sexual violence by their relevance to public health.

Currently it remains on the list of health problems both at the global level, as the national. According to the World Health Organization estimated that in 2014 there were 9.6 million people sick with tuberculosis in the world. In 2014 they were diagnosed in Brazil 67,966 new cases of tuberculosis, heterogeneously distributed in the Federative Units and the Federal District, with average incidence rate around 33.5 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants. The State of São Paulo has rates around 36.9 cases / 100,000 inhabitants, in addition, it is important the incidence of the disease on populations of lower economic and social power. In 2014, in the city of São José do Rio Preto were reported 136 cases of tuberculosis with an incidence of 32.7 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants, rate lower than the national average, but very significant for the region. Objectives: Analyze the sociodemographic and epidemiological characteristics and identify the factors associated with TB patients reported in Hospital School in São José do Rio Preto. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive and retrospective study performed transversely held in a hospital in the state of São Paulo, from January 2010 to December 2014. Data were collected from the reporting forms of cases of TB for Epidemiological Surveillance Center of the service. The population was submitted to the pairing process records followed by purification of duplicate records. The data were stored in spreadsheets, through these data were constructed tables and frequency graphs. Qualitative data were associated through the application of Chi-Square test and quantitative data were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test with subsequent application of the multiple comparison test of Dunn. It performed multiple correspondence analysis and all statistical tests were applied with a 0.05 significance level. The software used for analysis were Minitab 17 (Minitab Inc.) and Statistica 10 (StatSoft Inc.).Results: The data show that the socio-demographic and epidemiological aspects of tuberculosis incidence in the population is consistent with most studies in other regions, the hospitalization data was shorter compared to other research. It was also observed that there is a strong association between the population affected by TB and HIV coinfection. Conclusion: The results of study represent the most susceptible people to TB infection in the area, with no great differences between the world known population. The co-infection of TB / HIV must remain as a constant research target, especially because of the immense mortality of these individuals. / Introdução: A tuberculose (TB) é uma doença infecciosa de evolução crônica, que compromete principalmente os pulmões, sendo o agente etiológico, o Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Atualmente mantém-se no topo da lista dos agravos de saúde tanto no âmbito mundial, quanto no nacional. Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde estima-se que em 2014 havia 9,6 milhões de pessoas doentes por tuberculose no mundo. Em 2014 foram diagnosticados no Brasil 67.966 casos novos de tuberculose, distribuídos de forma heterogênea pelas Unidades da Federação e Distrito Federal, com taxa média de incidência em torno dos 33,5 casos para cada 100 mil habitantes. O Estado de São Paulo apresenta taxas em torno de 36,9 casos/100 mil, além disso, é importante a incidência da doença sobre populações de poder econômico e social mais baixos. Em 2014, no município de São José do Rio Preto foram notificados 136 casos de tuberculose com uma incidência de 32,7 casos para cada 100 mil habitantes, taxa menor do que a média nacional, porém bastante expressiva para a região. Objetivos: Analisar as características sociodemográficas, epidemiológicas e identificar os fatores associados á tuberculose em pacientes notificados em Hospital Escola no município de São José do Rio Preto. Materiais e métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva e retrospectiva, efetuada de forma transversal realizado em instituição hospitalar do interior do Estado de São Paulo, no período de janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2014. Os dados foram coletados a partir das fichas de notificação dos casos de tuberculose notificados pelo Núcleo de Vigilância Epidemiológica do serviço. Essa população foi submetida ao processo de pareamento de registros seguido de depuração de registros repetidos. Os dados foram armazenados em planilhas eletrônicas, através destes dados foram construídos tabelas e gráficos de frequência. Os dados qualitativos foram associados por meio da aplicação do teste qui-quadrado e os dados quantitativos foram comparados por meio da aplicação do teste de Kruskal-Wallis com posterior aplicação do teste de comparação múltipla de Dunn. Foi realizada Análise de Correspondência Múltipla e todos os testes estatísticos foram aplicados com nível de significância de 0,05. Os softwares utilizados para análise foram o Minitab 17 (Minitab Inc.) e o Statistica 10 (StatSoft Inc.). Resultados: Os dados mostraram que nos aspectos sóciodemográficos e epidemiológicos a incidência de tuberculose na população condiz com a maior parte dos estudos realizados em outras regiões, nos dados de internação foi identificado menor tempo de permanência em relação à outras pesquisas. Observou-se ainda que existe grande associação entre a população afetada pela TB e a coinfecção pelo HIV. Conclusão: Os resultados obtidos no estudo representam a população mais susceptível à infecção por TB na região estudada, não havendo grandes diferenças com a população mundialmente conhecida. A coinfecção entre TB/HIV precisa se manter como alvo de constantes pesquisas, sobretudo pela imensa taxa de mortalidade destes indivíduos

La surveillance des maladies abortives chez les bovins actuellement absentes du territoire (dites maladies exotiques), parmi lesquelles figure la brucellose, constitue un cas emblématique de système de surveillance à faire évoluer. Cette surveillance n'est réellement organisée que pour la brucellose. Pour cette maladie, la surveillance évènementielle basée sur la déclaration obligatoire de tout avortement (DA) constitue la pierre angulaire de la surveillance, mais souffre de l'avis de l'ensemble des acteurs, d'une forte sous-déclaration, sans que cela ait été évalué. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, l'évaluation approfondie du dispositif de DA a permis de quantifier la faible sensibilité de ce dispositif et d'identifier l'influence de différents facteurs, structurels, humains et sanitaires, sur le processus de déclaration. En parallèle, des données démographiques et de reproduction, collectées respectivement à des fins de traçabilité des animaux et d'amélioration des performances génétiques, ont été utilisées pour élaborer des indicateurs indirects de survenue d'avortements. La modélisation des variations temporelles et spatio-temporelles de ces indicateurs a souligné la capacité d'outils de surveillance syndromique à identifier la survenue d'évènements abortifs à l'échelle individuelle et des élevages. Au vu de ces travaux, l'amélioration de la surveillance des maladies exotiques abortives passe par le renforcement du dispositif de DA et le développement d'outils de surveillance syndromique. Plus globalement, dans un contexte où les risques d'apparition de maladies exotiques ou émergentes et les formes épidémio-cliniques qu'elles revêtiraient sont très difficilement prévisibles, il apparaît nécessaire de revisiter la surveillance des maladies exotiques et émergentes en définissant des systèmes de surveillance intégrée, déclinés par filière de production, associant différentes modalités de surveillance. De tels systèmes, en couvrant des maladies connues ou non, présentes sous forme clinique ou asymptomatique, et sous forme sporadique, épizootique ou diffuse, optimiseraient les chances de détecter les maladies exotiques ou émergentes / The surveillance system for exotic abortive diseases in French cattle (i.e. abortive diseases that are not currently found in France), such as brucellosis, is a typical example of a surveillance system that is in need of improvement. This type of surveillance only actually exists for brucellosis. Clinical surveillance is the cornerstone of brucellosis surveillance and consists in the mandatory notification of each bovine abortion. However, while no quantitatively assessments have been made, it is common knowledge that this type of surveillance suffers from high levels of under-reporting. By providing an in-depth assessment of the bovine abortion notification surveillance system, we quantified its low sensitivity and identified the influence of structural, human and health factors on how decisions to report abortions are taken. In addition, demographic and reproductive data, collected for purposes of traceability and for genetic performance improvement, were used to devise indirect indicators of abortion occurrence. By modeling the temporal and spatio-temporal variations of these indicators, we highlighted the ability for syndromic surveillance systems to identify the occurrence of abortive events at individual and herd scale. Based on these studies, improving exotic abortive disease surveillance requires revising the mandatory notification surveillance system and developing syndromic surveillance systems. More generally, considering the difficulties in predicting the occurrence of exotic or emerging diseases and their clinical and epidemiological forms, it is necessary to reorganize the surveillance of exotic diseases by setting up integrated surveillance systems that would include different surveillance modalities. Such surveillance systems, implemented by production sector, would focus on known or unknown diseases, showing clinical or subclinical forms, and sporadic, epizootic or diffuse patterns, and would thus maximize the ability to detect exotic or emerging diseases

<p>Browsing the Web on a distant screen may very often become user’s unpleasant experience. Such a situation may happen in a living room environment, where the user attempts to browse the Web on TV sitting at 10-foot distance from the screen. In a vast number of web sites that the user is able to request, many may contain, for instance, tiny text characters, which would become unreadable when watched from the distance. On the other hand, also navigation through the Web offerings can become troublesome. Especially, when the user is only equipped with the commonly used remote controller, interaction with the displayed content may prove inefficient. Therefore, methods to overcome content visibility and navigation problems become challenging. In this thesis we perceive living room environment as a good scenario, in which web-enabled handheld devices could further be utilized to interact with Consumer Electronics products, such as TVs. This sort of interaction should make an advantage of publically available Web resources to have them displayed on TV and controlled from the distance by the user who is equipped with, for instance, a web-enabled mobile phone. We think that such an interaction approach would become beneficial in several ways, making the Web browsing routine an interactive, possibly a group activity. Discussed in this thesis solutions are the first step of automatic transformations of web content into a form that can be rendered on Web4CE (Web for Consumer Electronics) products. A particularly important aspect of the proposed system is the concept of request/response HTTP message processing and HTML modification. According to this approach, living room browsing activity should be achievable without the need to re-author already existing web sites.</p>
