In this paper, I examine how a Black adolescent girl in a Montreal high school contests low teacher expectations that resulted in her being directed to a vocational program (Formation a un metier semi-specialise, FMS) in her high school. The FMS program prepares children for entry-level careers, defined in the Quebec curriculum as semi-skilled jobs. I (re)present her account in the form of a narrative found poem that explores how the use of found poetry as a heuristic device improves understanding of the school practices impacting the student's placement in the FMS program. The found poem offers a critical reading of her resistance as she tries to remain likable to power brokers who can determine her future. It also contributes to research on how a Black girl in high school may experience adultification when the child, parent, and school relationship is unproductive. This original research ultimately fills the knowledge gap by providing examples of everyday mundane Montreal school practices that can result in the exclusion of Black children from the regular academic school pathways that lead to a high school diploma. While broad implications cannot be drawn from this single case, the paper concludes with recommendations for, and further questions about, school practices that can support Black girls' dreams for themselves.

The study was conducted to assess the knowledge of mother's regarding behavioural problems in children. A descriptive approach was adopted for this study. The study was conducted in Father Muller Medical college Hospital Mangaluru. The sample consists of 153 subjects selected by purposive sampling technique. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of mothers regarding behavioural problems in children. The collected data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The result showed that about 11.1% had good knowledge, 62.7% had average knowledge and 26.1% had poor knowledge among mothers regarding behavioural problems in children. There was a significant association between the knowledge of mothers regarding behavioural problem in children and selected baseline variable like occupation. Findings of the present study indicate that majority of the mothers had average knowledge score. Hence there is a need of health awareness program to improve mother's knowledge on behavioural problems.

Amidst changing patterns of accommodation and conflict among American ethnic groups, there remains a paucity of research on the nature and impact of racial and ethnic discrimination on development in multiethnic samples of youth. The Adolescent Discrimination Distress Index along with measures of caregiver racial bias preparation and self-esteem was administered to 177 adolescents drawn from 9th-12th graders self-identified as African American, Hispanic, East Asian, South Asian, and Non-Hispanic white.

INTRODUCTION: Work-related musculoskeletal symptoms are a major health issue in many occupations all over the world. Past researches on hospital workers have mainly been focused on nurses, and not many studies have examined musculoskeletal symptoms among doctors in various specialties. The work of surgeons can involve high levels of mental concentration and very precise movements that can be categorized as mild-to-moderate physical demands. OBJECTIVE: To identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal problems and their related physical and psychosocial factors of surgeons who are involved in such work. METHODOLOGY: Forty-three surgeons were enrolled in this study. To evaluate the musculoskeletal disorders, the participants were assessed through Standardized Nordic Questionnaire, Quick Exposure Check for the work pattern, and Work style Short Form for screening purpose. RESULTS: Out of 43 participants, 30 were male and 13 were female. Their mean age was 42.07 ± 12.35 years, and the mean working years ± standard deviation of the group was 15.14 years ± 9.017. On an average, they worked a total of about 8.58 h ± 1.96 per day. The prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms was found in 36 participants (83.70%), while only seven surgeons (16.30%) were symptom free. CONCLUSION: The present study indicates a high prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in surgeons. The results also indicated that surgeons had a high sense of commitment and self-imposed pressure.

This study explored the relationship between different indicators of acculturation and children’s caries experience. Data from 313 children attending the Dental Clinic of the European University of Madrid were analysed. Acculturation was measured via generational status, age at arrival, length of residence and language spoken at home. The association between each indicator of acculturation and caries experience was assessed in Poisson regression models adjusting for confounders. First- and second-generation migrant children had greater caries experience than Spanish-born children. These differences only persisted for first-generation migrant children after adjustment for confounders. Children who arrived in Spain before age 6 years, who lived in Spain for 10 or more years and who spoke a language other than Spanish at home had greater caries experience than Spanish-born children. Inequalities in caries experience between migrant and native children were evident (favouring the local children) and independent of family’s socioeconomic circumstances.

Work, worker and workplace are the three components of work triangle. The present study focuses on the perception of the female sewing machine operators retarding the different aspects of work. Perception is the awareness of something through the senses. In other words it's the ability to see, hear, understand or become aware of something. Perception is important as it is a physiological process through which everything is this world is interpreted and understood. It is very important to the workers to understand what they actually perceive and understand about their work. That will make their decision power stronger and will ultimately improve their skill and quality of life. The present study was conducted on 80 sewing machine operators to study their perception regarding the different aspects of their work. The perception of the sewing machine operators regarding their work, worker and workplace was assessed by a subjective tool. The subjects were personally interviewed about their opinion on different aspects of*work triangle.

This article seeks to advance conversation on the literary and political agency of fugitive slave narrators and their far-reaching archival footprints by focusing on the evolution of John Brown's narrative of John Glasgow, a Demeraraborn free Black sailor with whom Brown toiled side by side on a Georgian plantation. In British and U.S. abolitionist discourse, Glasgow's tragic story—he was imprisoned under Georgia's seamen law upon arriving in Savannah and eventually fell into bondage—made him the symbol of the southern seamen acts' egregious infringement of British freedom. Brown, a formerly enslaved expatriate resident in England, told this tale in his autobiography Slave Life in Georgia, but the authorship of this story has some ambiguity. It is believed by some scholars that the narrative's editor, London-based White abolitionist Louis Alexis Chamerovzow, concocted the tale. By drawing on newly discovered documents, this article demonstrates that Brown originally attributed Glasgow's enslavement to kidnapping by deceit, not to a Black seamen law. Furthermore, an examination of British diplomatic dispatches and the details of the Black seaman law operating in Savannah at that time posits the likelihood that Glasgow became enslaved by deception rather than law. What do we make of these findings? Instead of marshalling them to confirm Chamerovzow as the story's creator, this article speculates that John Brown himself invented the Glasgow story and imagines a transatlantic Black political circuitry connecting England and Canada.

Employability has become a key element in sustaining successful vocational careers. The role of self-directedness is considered paramount in maintaining one’s employability. However, it also requires certain competences on part of employees to invest in learning and career development. This study examines the influence of self-directedness in learning and career of low-qualified employees on their employability. In a follow-up study of 284 low-qualified employees, we find that higher levels of self-directedness in learning and career of employees corresponds with higher chance to be promoted to higher-level job positions (vertical job mobility). However, no relationship was found between different formats of self-directedness and job retention or horizontal job mobility of lower qualified personnel.

The British Chinese have long been under-studied and thus, barely understood. Moreover, as the catering trade is an important industry of the British Chinese, those who work in this business are often the target of assault for they need to face people from the outer world, including the unfriendly and even aggressive ones. This paper then focuses on the British Chinese subjects who work in the catering trade, with special attention to the second-generation British Chinese children who are asked to “help out” to facilitate the operation of the business. In their writings, these young people depict their parents’ toiling labor and vent their anger on racism and seclusion from social life. Literary productions about or by the second/third generation British Chinese are sparse and dispersed. Based the available pieces created by the second/third-generation British Chinese, this paper aims to examine their struggles working at family-run catering businesses from Miri Song’s sociological perspectives.

The vast majority—70%—of the Indian population lives in rural areas. They are far removed from India’s image as a society with an emerging middle class and well-regarded schools. This research focuses on education and opportunities for skill development for this rural population. The researchers investigated the area around the Chilika Lagoon, a rural region in the eastern state of Orissa, by interviewing fishing families about formal and nonformal education and informal learning activities, and by tracking their children’s daily activities to determine educational levels, learning activities, and the demand for education and training. By interviewing students and educational experts from Indian Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), the researchers also investigated the accessibility and performance of self-help groups and of computer courses and other training programs for fishermen.
