Beer, Brats, Cheese, and-- Baseball: The History and Impact of Baseball in Wisconsin
No full textFrom the 1800s baseball became a passion for the citizens of the United States. Wars, recessions and scandals could not bring down what is known as "America's Pastime." However baseball and other professional sports have been getting a bad name since historians and economist have started to look at the correlation between the team and the community. The notion of, "build us a new stadium at the cost of the tax payers or we are taking our team elsewhere" has been a common trend since 1950's. By looking at Appleton and Milwaukee this paper will look at the impacts baseball has on these communities both culturally and economically from 1966 to 2012

Epidemiology of human intestinal parasites in Qwa-Qwa, South Africa.
No full textThesis (M.Sc.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1995.This study investigated the prevalences and intensity of
intestinal parasites and aspects of their epidemiology among
children in the Qwa-Qwa region of the eastern Free St~te. Faecal
samples of 1180 children differing socio-economic status from
nine schools at altitudes varying from 1660m to 2200m were
examined quantitatively by means of the formol-ether
sedimentation technique. Socio-economic, and demographic
characteristics for the communities served by the schools were
obtained from the literature and from a questionnaire.
The study showed that, the area supports a markedly low diversity
of parasite infections, and at lower intensities, than low altitude
areas such as the coastal plain of KwaZulu-Natal and
Eastern Cape, the Northern Province, Mpumalanga and the Western
Cape. The intestinal parasite fauna affecting children in Qwa-Qwa
is dominated by protozoans with only few helminths and no
hookworm or bilharzia.
The results indicated that factors which influence the
transmission of intestinal parasites in Qwa-Qwa appear to be
related primarily to social, economic and cultural aspects of the
peoples' lifestyles. Climatic factors were not found important.
There was a significant seasonal effect on the intensities of all
parasite infection, except two protozoans, Entamoeba coli and
Endolimax nana.
Water source, electricity, house-type and quality of meat were
found to be the important socio-economic factors that influenced
parasite transmission. These relationships were investigated by
fitting logistic regression and generalized linear mixed models.
By documenting human parasitism (above 1700m) this study provided
an endpoint to the altitudinal transect conducted in 1993 in
KwaZulu-Natal by Appleton and Gouws (in press). Public health
authorities and Primary Health Care personnel should find this
study useful when designing and implementing nutrition and
parasite control. Severe ascariasis has been reported from the
study area. It will help focus PHC activities in Qwa-Qwa and in
the wider context of Free State Province by demonstrating the
value of proper personal and environmental hygiene in the home,
thereby forming the basis for intestinal parasite control at the
community level
Superiority of The Main Character Amber Appleton in All Together Now (2020) Movie Using Adler's Perspective
No full textThis research was written by the author based on my interest in the Brett Haley Movie, All Together Now (2020). This study was conducted to analyze the prominent psychological side possessed by Amber Appleton as the main character in the film All Together Now. There are two points discussed in this study, first, what are the indicators of superiority found in Amber Appleton, and how Amber Appleton's character depicted in the film. In analysing the character’s of Amber Appleton, the researcher will apply Adler's perspective regarding personality psychology. This research method is qualitative. In addition, there are two types of data sources, primary data is All Together Now Movie by Brett Haley and secondary data is books, journals, official websites related to research. From the results of the study it was found in the main character Amber Appleton there are seven indicators: underprivileged, fighting soul, Reliable person, hard worker, an extrovert, simple lifestyle, creative person. The researcher related the seven indicators to the Adler’s principles of personality

Long-acting beta2-agonists for poorly reversible chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
No full textArticle No.: CD001104This review aims to determine the effectiveness of long-acting beta-agonists, salmeterol or formoterol, in the treatment of COPD (emphysema/chronic bronchitis). These drugs improve airflow in the lungs, and enable people with COPD to get on with their daily activities. Twenty-four studies (6061 participants) reported the effects of LABAs in people with COPD. People taking salmeterol 50 mcg daily do have fewer exacerbations than those on placebo, and some improvement in lung function and certain quality of life scores. The findings were not consistent enough to support a general recommendation for the use of these drugs in the group of people with COPD with minimal variation in their lung function, although there is some evidence of improvement in important outcomes and these findings require further exploration in additional trialsSarah Appleton; Phillippa Poole; Brian Smith; Antony Veale; Toby J Lasserson; Matthew Ming Ki Chan; Christopher J Cate
Am I doing the right thing? Plunket nurses' experience in making decisions to report suspected child abuse and neglect
No full textSuspected child abuse and neglect is not a new phenomenon in community nursing. Child abuse and/or neglect is prevalent globally and is a major community concern. Plunket Nurses have a primary responsibility to protect the health and well being of the women and children with whom they come into contact. Detecting suspected child abuse and/or neglect and making decisions to report to Child, Youth and Family, New Zealand’s Statutory Agency, is difficult. There are professional, legal, ethical and moral complexities in this work. Boyne (2003) states that there has not been enough research about what it is like to work with and manage risks in child protection work. This study set out to report these experiences in view of understanding them and finding possible gaps in literature, policy, and education.
Hermeneutic phenomenology was the methodology thought most appropriate to study the experiences of Plunket Nurses making decisions to report suspected child abuse and/or neglect in uncertain situations. A purposeful sample was selected to ensure participants were able to provide rich data that was captured in semi-structured, face to face and telephone recorded interviews. Data analysis was guided by the framework developed by van Manen (1990) to formulate meaning from participant experiences. Four major themes developed.
Ethical considerations were extensively explored due to the sensitive nature of the study. Management of possible ethical situation have been described, with a planned approach to an ongoing consent process throughout the data collection. The results have identified gaps in the literature, Plunket policy and the educational needs of Plunket Nurses. Opportunities for future research are suggested
