The original article [1] has been corrected.BACKGROUND : South Africa is reporting higher rates of adolescent pregnancy as compared to other countries. There are different types of interventions that are in place to address teenage pregnancy. However, these interventions were developed using top-down strategy without the inclusion of different stakeholders and adolescents which makes it hard to implement those interventions particularly in countries like South Africa. Hence, this study aimed to develop strategies to enhance sexual health education for prevention of teenage pregnancy in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province of South Africa.
METHODS : The research design of this study will be Co-operative Inquiry. The study will take place in Vhembe District in Limpopo province of South Africa through collaborating with a Non-governmental Organisation (NGO). The study population will be the teenagers and all the different stakeholders caring for teenagers in their areas of specialization. Purposive sampling will be used to sample the targeted participants of the study. The data collection method will be done in phases and focus group discussions will be used to collect data. Content analysis will be used to analyse data.
DISCUSSION : This study will add to the body of knowledge regarding the strategies that maybe used to enhance sexual health education for prevention of teenage pregnancy.The National Research Foundation.https://reproductive-health-journal.biomedcentral.comhj2023Nursing ScienceSDG-03:Good heatlh and well-bein
IS FEDERAL MONITORING OF STATES' IDEA PART C PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ACCORD WITH THE INTERESTS/CONCERNS OF THE STAKEHOLDERS?
No full textFederal monitoring of the States' Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part C programs to determine compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements should reflect the interests and concerns of the stakeholders of early intervention programs for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. The primary purpose of this project is to determine if the interests and concerns identified through the public comments on proposed Part C regulations, are in general accord with the current monitoring priorities set by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The data from the proposed Part C public comments, submitted to Regulations.gov between May 9, 2007 and July 23, 2007, were reviewed to determine the interests of stakeholders. Taking into consideration that OSEP's monitoring tools have not yet been modified for the final 2004 Part C regulations (for which the stakeholder' s input was submitted), this author has determined that the interests of the stakeholders are close to being in general accord with the current monitoring priorities set by OSEP

Consejos, limosna y algun palo : La novela decimononica y la violencia domestica
No full textMany Spanish realist writers proclaimed their novels to be instruments of social change, guides towards a more moral or healthy society; their critics echoed these sentiments, though often out of fear rather than praise. In the early, polemical stages of the realist movement, causes were explicitly set out and espoused. As the narrative means of promoting a cause grew hackneyed, writers abandoned techniques such as narrative interventions in favor of a less tendentious, more introspective form. Domestic violence, while never the main focus of novelistic debate, is one social issue that continues to appear throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century. A progressive sensitivity to its seriousness as a problem can be traced to women authors writing about family violence. A study of the narrative strategies used in this progression reveals some perhaps surprising results. In some texts, those most highly regarded by critics, violence fulfills a clearly aesthetic or metaliterary function; in other novels, classified as second- or third-rate literature, domestic violence is graphic, even pornographic, and is directed at a specifically male reader; a third category consists of novels written by women, in which the all too real problem of battered spouses is presented as such. In this group of novels, some critically well-received, others now fallen into obscurity, the violence is masked through metaphors and, similarly, extraliterary messages of the author are hidden by the apparently conventional narratives. Women writers, wary of the negative morality associated with nineteenth century realism, created a complex hybrid genre by combining suasive techniques and sentimental conventions of the novel with an frequently acute awareness of social injustices. When domestic violence is the issue at hand, it is women rather than men who provide the impetus for social change through their novels

Sylvia Porter: Gender, Ambition, and Personal Finance Journalism, 1935-1975
No full textThis historical dissertation examines the career of Sylvia Porter (1913-1991), a syndicated newspaper columnist who developed the genre of personal finance journalism and created a space for women on the financial pages of newspapers. At the height of Porter's success in 1975, she reached forty million readers in more than 350 newspapers, published a monthly financial advice column in Ladies' Home Journal, and had produced a shelf full of books, including the best-selling Sylvia Porter's Money Book. This dissertation--the first full-length account of Porter's career--uses primary sources to trace Porter's evolution from a media curiosity to a nationally recognized expert amid changes in women's social and economic status. The author argues that Porter carved a niche for herself within the male-dominated field of financial journalism by using seven professional strategies: (1) She accepted a job in a non-prestigious field of journalism, (2) she allied herself with her readers rather than her peers, (3) she formed alliances with men who could help her career, (4) she used preconceptions about gender to her advantage, (5) she mythologized herself in interviews with other journalists, (6) she used multiple media platforms to reach different audiences, and (7) she appropriated the labor of other writers. The author also argues that although gender was an important facet of Porter's public persona, her development of personal finance journalism was driven more by market forces and her eventual use of ghostwriters than by prevailing gender norms. Nevertheless, the author argues, Porter opened a door for women in the field and left a complicated legacy
Winning Project: The Intersectionality of Childless Women Between 1900 and 1950
No full textThroughout American history, society has had stereotypes of a woman’s role being a wife and a mother. In fact, when doing research, a librarian asked me what I was studying, and when I told her I was reading about childless women in the early 1900s, she said she did not think any existed. The fact is, though, that women without children have always existed in America, for a variety of reasons. Environmental scientist Dr. Rachel Carson, poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox, author Edith Wharton, activist Angelina Weld Grimké, and playwright Maurine Dallas Watkins are a few notable American women who went without children. Even first ladies Sarah Polk and Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, a role that many Americans associate with a wife and mother, went their entire marriages without children. They are joined by many other American women who did not have children in the early 1900s
