Disability and quality of life in spina bifida and hydrocephalus
No full textThis study examined the impact of severity and type of condition and family resources on quality of life in children with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. A national UK sample of children aged between 6 and 13 years with spina bifida (n=62), hydrocephalus (n=354), and spina bifida plus hydrocephalus (n=128) were identified via the register of the Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (ASBAH). Parents completed standardized measures of Child Health Related Quality Of Life (CQOL), family needs survey (FNS), and caregiving self-efficacy scale (CSES) as well as questions on children's health and physical ability. Results showed there were no significant differences in the overall quality of life for the three disability conditions. The overall CQOL was over 1 SD lower for those with spina bifida and hydrocephalus than for children with other physical conditions. Sex and age were not related to overall CQOL. Specific aspects of CQOL differentiated the three groups. Children with spina bifida had poorer CQOL scores on self-care, continence, and mobility/activities whilst those with hydrocephalus had poorer scores on school activities, worries, sight, and communication. Severity of condition and family resources, i.e. CSES and FNS, predicted 32% of the variance in CQOL. Associations were also found between overall CQOL and problems discernible at birth as well as epilepsy. Other factors, including those related to shunts, were not significantly related to CQOL. It was concluded that hydrocephalus is just as great a threat to CQOL as spina bifida. Beyond the general effect of condition severity on CQOL, family resources (as measured by the CSES and FNS) represent an additional influence on CQOL

Targeting assistance to the poor using household survey data
Get PDFIt is important that limited government resources be channeled to the poor, but it is not always easy to identify the poor. Which households should be given tranfers when reliable information on incomes is difficult to obtain? The authors of this paper present a simple method for targeting when income is not observable but other characteristics that are correlated with income can be observed. Using survey data taken from Cote d'Ivoire, they predict incomes based on observable characteristics and distribute transfers on the basis of those predictions. It appears that significant reductions in poverty can be achieved using this method.Environmental Economics&Policies,Rural Poverty Reduction,Services&Transfers to Poor,Safety Nets and Transfers,Poverty Assessment

Various Styles of Cuban Popular Music
No full textABSTRACT Various Styles of Cuban Popular Music By Allan Otis Cate Considering its remarkable influence on the popular music of North America, it’s unfortunate that the contributions of Cuban music are not more widely recognized, and that the music itself is not better appreciated or understood. The goal of this project has been to compose and record music in various styles of Cuban music, and by doing so to gain a better understanding and appreciation of at least a part of Cuba’s rich musical tradition. Eight pieces were composed for this project, one of which was arranged in two different versions, for a total of nine recorded tracks. Two of the compositions are solely instrumental – the danzón and the mambo. The remaining six songs would not have been possible without the assistance from Cuba of Pedro Ramón Pérez Bretos, who wrote nearly all of the lyrics. A majority of the musicians used in the recording were also Cuban. This was crucial to the stylistic authenticity of the project because, particularly for the bass and percussion, and also for the vocalists, the written music provides only a bare outline – the performer must rely on his or her knowledge of each style and its conventions in order to realize their part. The genres represented, in addition to mambo and danzón, include chachachá, afro, bolero, and guaracha
