Introduction and Aim In the life of every human senses, including the sense of hearing, they play an important role in the harmonious development. Each hearing loss in childhood influences, depending ...on the depth, nature and time of its inception, in a negative way on the development of many mental activities, intellectual, behavior, cognitive, causing significant impairment in the child's position the hearing impaired, deaf and especially in the world of the hearing. The aim of this study is to assess the parents' awareness of hearing loss in children with hearing loss as a result of a survey of parents of children from the first classes of primary schools in the Lublin province. Material and Methods Analysis was performed on 31 results of parents of children with hearing impairment made in children aged 6 and 7 years, pupils and primary schools in the Lublin province. Parents were asked the question: 'Do you think your child has hearing problems?' The analysis indicated the assessment of awareness of parents of children with hearing disorders. Results In the study group, as many as 77% of parents stated that the child does not have problems with hearing, only 3% of parents noted the problem, while 20% of parents did not answer the question. Conclusions Based on the research it can be stated with a high percentage of parents still do not notice hearing loss in their children. Early notice of the problem, the correct procedure and the cooperation with the parent group of specialists are often the way to success. It is crucial to support the child in difficult situations, which often is exposed to contact with all sorts of obstacles. An important issue is the numerous health programs, shaping the attitude of parents and society as a whole.

The personal beliefs of teachers and the cultural traditions of society can have significant effects on the adjustment of children in changing family situations. This paper explores primary school ...teachers' perception of children coping with difficult family situations and family changes in the hybrid context of Hong Kong, where Westernization meets with Chinese culture. A qualitative case study methodology was used. Thirty one teachers of different ages, experience, and roles at school were interviewed. The finding shows that teachers were on the whole quite traditional in their perception of children in difficult family situations despite the co-existence of modern ideas of marriage with traditional family values. Implications of the study for teacher education are discussed.PUBLICATION ABSTRACT

Conocer la prevalencia de tabaquismo entre los escolares y examinar los factores asociados con el consumo.
Estudio transversal, de base poblacional por encuesta de salud. Se encuestaron 548 escolares ...de 6° y 8° de EGB de los colegios de una Zona Básica de Salud de Córdoba. Intervenciones: Cuestionario autoadministrado.
El 22% (IC95%: 18,7 - 25,8) habían probado el tabaco. La edad media de inicio en el consumo fue 11,6 años (IC95%: 11,4 - 11,8). Un 12,1% de los alumnos fumaba, de los que el 1,3% lo hacía a diario. El consumo de tabaco se asoció con la edad (OR = 2,96; IC95%: 1,12 - 7,82), la ingesta de medicamentos para la tos (OR = 3,15; IC95%: 1,32 - 7,48), tener una hermana mayor fumadora (OR = 2,53; IC95%: 1,06 - 6,00), el hábito tabáquico del mejor amigo (OR = 4,42; IC95%: 1,85 - 10,60) y beber cerveza (OR = 3,68; IC95%: 1,15 - 11,7).
La prevalencia de tabaquismo en nuestro medio es muy similar a la que se comunica en otros estudios. Entre los factores relacionados con el tabaquismo en el escolar destaca la presencia de este hábito entre las hermanas y los amigos.
To know smoking prevalence among schoolchildre and factors related with this habit.
A cross-sectional study. 548 school-children in their 6 th and 8 th years of primary studies at schools from an Área of Córdoba (Spain) were inerviewed. Interventions: Autoadministered questionnary.
tobacco was tried in 22% (CI95%: 18.7 - 25.8) school- children. The average age for starting with this habit was 11,6 (SD) (CI 95%: 11.4 - 11.8). 12.1% smoked regularly and 1.3% smokers every day. The tobacco consumption in children was related with age (OR = 2.96; CI95%: 1.12 - 7.82), cough medicins consumption (OR = 3.15; CI95%: 1.32 - 7.48), to have a smokers sister (OR =2.53; CI95%: 1.06 - 6.00) and best friend (OR = 4.42; CI95%: 1.85 - 10.60) and drinking bear (OR = 3.68; CI95%: 1.15 - 11.7).
The prevalence of smoking in our school-children is very close to that reported by others. Among the factors accounted with the tobacco consumption in schoolchildren, highlight the presence of this habit in the eldest sister and the best friend.

En les últimes dècades, en el camp de l'avaluació en general i, en particular, en el de l'avaluació dels aprenentatges, s'hi reflecteixen importants transformacions. Moltes raons justifiquen aquests ...canvis projectats en l'àmbit universitari. Podem indicar-ne com a rellevants els següents: a) La incorporació ineludible de nous objectius d'aprenentatge que la societat de la informació requereix dels professionals universitaris: capacitat de transferència, de treballar en grup i en xarxa; habilitats per seleccionar informació i per autoformar-se; saber desenvolupar comportaments d'autonomia, etc. Tots aquests objectius d'aprenentatge són competències que van més enllà del que ofereixen els tradicionals procediments d'avaluació. b) El desenvolupament de noves estratègies d'avaluació (mapes conceptuals, portafolis, etc. ) que posen en joc habilitats complexes i processos metacognitius, més d'acord amb les noves competències professionals i personals. A l'article s'analitzen diferents plantejaments d'avaluació de l'alumnat en l'àmbit universitari, distingint diferents modalitats i presentant tècniques, tant de tipus tradicionals com noves.
It is well-known that indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in classrooms can have an effect on school children's comfort, health and performance. Unfortunately, information about the school children's ...perception of IEQ factors in their classrooms is still insufficient. The objective of this study was to better understand school children's IEQ preferences and needs in classrooms.
Perceptions, preferences, and needs regarding the IEQ in classrooms were collected by a questionnaire from 1145 school children (9–12 years) in 21 primary schools (54 classrooms) in the Netherlands. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, principal component analysis and two-step cluster analysis were used to analyse the data.
Using two-step cluster analysis, this study identified six clusters (profiles) of children based on their comfort perceptions and the importance of environmental factors. Among them, four clusters of children had specific concerns related to the IEQ factors: the ‘Sound concerned cluster’, the ‘Smell and Sound concerned cluster’, the ‘Thermal and Draught concerned cluster’, and the ‘Light concerned cluster’. However, the other two clusters of children did not show a specific concern, the ‘All concerned cluster’ was concerned about all IEQ factors in the classroom, while the ‘Nothing concerned cluster’ did not show any concern.
This study allows for a better understanding of the preferences and needs of primary school children from their own perspective and provides a foundation for future studies to improve both the IEQ in classrooms and school children's comfort and health.
•Different children have different problems of IEQ in classrooms.•Effective solutions should be at the individual level.•Six clusters of children were identified using two-step cluster analysis.•School children profiles were built to understand their preferences and needs.•Children's involvement is required in figuring out effective solutions.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND
Although adolescents generally get less than the recommended 9 hours of sleep per night, research and effort to delay school start times have generally focused on high schools. ...This study assesses the relation between school start times and sleep in middle school students while accounting for potentially confounding demographic variables.
METHODS
Seventh and eighth grade students attending 8 late starting schools (∼8:00 am, n = 630) and 3 early starting schools (∼7:23 am, n = 343) from a diverse suburban school district completed online surveys about their sleep behaviors. Doubly robust inverse probability of treatment weighted regression estimates of the effects of later school start time on student bedtimes, sleep duration, and daytime sleepiness were generated.
RESULTS
Attending a school starting 37 minutes later was associated with an average of 17 additional minutes of sleep per weeknight, despite an average bedtime 15 minutes later. Students attending late starting schools were less sleepy than their counterparts in early starting schools, and more likely to be wide awake.
CONCLUSIONS
Later school start times were significantly associated with improved sleep outcomes for early adolescents, providing support for the movement to delay school start times for middle schools.
