Breaking through the silence in antenatal care: Fetal movement and stillbirth education

BackgroundFetal movements are a key indicator of fetal health. Research has established significant correlations between altered fetal activity and stillbirth. However, women are generally unaware of this relationship. Providing pregnant women with information about the importance of fetal movements could improve stillbirth rates. However, there are no consistent fetal movements awareness messages globally for pregnant women.AimsThis study aimed to explore the antenatal care experiences of Australian mothers who had recently had a live birth to determine their knowledge of fetal movements, the nature and source of that information.MethodsAn online survey method was used for 428 women who had a live birth and received antenatal care in Australia. Women’s knowledge of fetal movements, stillbirth risk, and the sources of this knowledge was explored.FindingsA large proportion of participants (84.6%; n = 362) stated they had been informed by health care professionals of the importance of fetal movements during pregnancy. Open-ended responses indicate that fetal movements messages are often myth based. Awareness that stillbirth occurs was high (95.2%; n = 398), although, 65% (n = 272) were unable to identify the current incidence of stillbirth in Australia.ConclusionWomen who received antenatal care have high-awareness of fetal movements, but the information they received was inconsistent. Participants knew stillbirth occurred but did not generally indicate they had obtained that knowledge from health care professionals. We recommend a consistent approach to fetal movements messaging throughout pregnancy which focuses on stillbirth prevention.     

Effective elements of care-physical activity initiatives for adults with a low socioeconomic status: A concept mapping study with health promotion experts

In care-physical activity (care-PA) initiatives, primary care and sports are combined to stimulate PA among adults at risk of lifestyle related diseases. Preliminary results from Dutch care-PA initiatives for adults with a low socioeconomic status (SES) indicate a decrease in participants’ body weight and an improved quality of life, however, the elements that make these initiatives successful are yet to be identified. In total, 19 Dutch health promotion experts participated in our concept mapping (CM) of the effective elements of care-PA initiatives for adults with a low SES. The experts identified 111 effective elements of these initiatives, which were grouped into 11 clusters, focusing on: 1) approaching participants within the care-PA initiative, 2) barriers experienced throughout the initiative, 3) long-term implementation, 4) customizing the care-PA initiative to the target population, 5) social support, 6) structure and guidance, 7) the professionals within the care-PA initiative, 8) the accessibility of the care-PA initiative, 9) targeted behaviour and progression, 10) recruitment and administration, and 11) intersectoral collaboration. CM was useful for creating a valuable overview of these effective elements. Our results could be used to improve the development and implementation of future care-PA initiatives for adults with a low SES.     

人力资本与东北经济振兴

从促进经济增长的作用来看,人力资本在东北经济振兴中应起到重要作用。我们基于三类经济数据,建立了测算人力资本对经济增长贡献率的模型。模型结果揭示,人力资本对经济增长有明显的影响,代表发达经济的上海市人力资本对经济增长的贡献率最高,代表东北老工业基地的吉林省人力资本对经济增长的贡献率偏低,甚至低于全国平均水平。也就是说,落后经济与发达经济之间的差距很大程度上归因于人力资本对经济增长的推动作用不足。因此要实现经济振兴,东北老工业基地一方面要加大人力资本投资,另一方面要提高人力资本投资的产出效率,提高普通劳动者的平均技术水平。     

试析我国国民科学素质的全面提高

国民科学素质,已经成为科学社会发展进步的重要制约因素。提高国民科学素质,不仅是西方发达国家兴旺昌盛的根本经验,而且也是我国经济和社会发展的迫切要求。在我国,既有教育的发展提供的智力支持,又有党和国家一贯重视和持续完善的政策支持,我国国民科学素质的全面提高刻不容缓。为此,应不断完善现存的体制;优化教育资源的配置,加强师资队伍建设;加大科学知识普及工作的宣传力度。     

我国环境审计面临的形势及推进策略

我国的环境形势日益严峻,国家适时提出了可持续发展的战略并相应出台了一系列的政策措施,大力加强环境保护资金的投入。监督国家环境政策的有效执行、提高环保资金的使用效益以及促进资源的合理利用使开展环境审计成为实施可持续发展战略中必不可少的监督环节,也是审计与时俱进的必然趋势,是审计发展的必然要求。从全面开展环境审计、加强立法工作、环境审计人员培训和环境审计信息化建设等方面提出了推进我国环境审计的思路以解决当前我国环境审计中存在的历史欠账多、缺乏法律法规依据、人员素质有待提高等问题。     

试论中国现代化与马克思主义中国化的逻辑关联

马克思主义从传入中国开始,就与中国革命、建设、改革实践尤其是与中国现代化结下了不解之缘。中国现代化规定马克思主义中国化的历史主题,是推进马克思主义中国化的根本前提;马克思主义中国化反过来又深刻影响中国现代化的模式选择,是中国现代化发展的现实要求。建构中国现代化与马克思主义中国化的良性互动,是中国经济社会发展不断向前推进的必由之路。在全球化时代背景和我国现代化建设的关键时期,深刻认识和把握中国现代化与马克思主义中国化的内在逻辑,进而在实践中自觉推进中国现代化与马克思主义中国化的有机结合,并使之在良性互动中和谐发展,对于全面推进中国特色社会主义现代化事业有着重要意义。     

乡村旅游推动新农村建设的模式与政策取向

网络促销方式对消费者购买意愿的影响机制研究

为了探究消费者在网络购物时品牌熟悉度与商家促销方式对其购买意愿的交互影响,模拟了网络购物情景,利用消费者的双系统信息处理理论(情感处理系统、认知处理系统)对消费者的购买意愿进行分析,检验了品牌熟悉度(高和低)和网络促销方式(价格促销与非价格促销)对消费者购买意愿的交互影响以及作用机制。结果表明,对于高熟悉度品牌,价格促销比非价格促销更能引起消费者的购买意愿,其中介机制为情感处理系统;对于低熟悉度品牌,非价格促销比价格促销更能引起消费者的购买意愿,其中介机制为认知处理系统。     

酒香也怕巷子深——从唐诗和笔记小说看唐代酒肆促销行为的兴起

唐代的商品经济处于恢复和发展的阶段,商品竞争日渐激烈。唐代的酒肆在面临行业内激烈的市场竞争情况下,采取了悬挂酒旗、酒幔、酒旆等广告促销与以美貌女子当垆、以酒妓佐饮助兴等人员促销的多种手段,以助其经营。这些活动多记载在唐诗和笔记小说当中。唐代酒肆的促销活动并非孤立的现象,而是当时商品经济水平提高、市场逐渐发育的一个表现。     

奥运会转播权营销创新对2010广州亚运会的启示

通过对奥运会转播权营销创新经验的总结和对多届亚运会转播权营销的比较研究,提出了创新亚运会转播权营销运作模式的若干建议。(1)将亚洲的48个国家和地区划分为三种类型,第一类为经济较为发达或体育优势明显的国家或地区,第二类为目前所属亚广联的国家和地区成员,第三类为第一类和亚广联成员国家和地区以外的国家、地区。针对三类不同的国家和地区逐步建立亚运会转播的市场竞争机制和类比增长定价机制。(2)在非亚洲地区实行灵活的电视转播权销售机制。包括采用长期的区域(或国家)中介机构缴纳保证金代理销售模式;招、投标与议价相结合模式;按需定制、化整为零、薄利多销模式;强化非奥运会项目电视转播的营销模式;直接购买、广告置换和电视节目置换相结合模式。(3)做好亚运会新媒体转播销售工作。
