We conclude that, compared with the adult, UUO in the neonate induces greater apoptosis, which in turn contributes to reduced renal DNA. This may be modulated by relative suppression of clusterin in the obstructed neonatal kidney due to greater activation of the renin-angiotensin system.
The quality of evaluation in health education has been an important obstacle to better interventions, and wider acknowledgement of the importance of health education in improving public health. In the past, the urgency of immediate health problems, the practical orientation of health educators, and the complex nature of evaluation in health education have usually meant that interventions were established on the basis of limited research, and with little or no consideration given to the need to evaluate. Progress in evaluation has been painfully slow.In the past two decades greater attention has been given to the need to evaluate, particularly in the United States, and there has been a corresponding development in the quality and range of examples of well evaluated health education projects and programmes. This paper has been developed on a review of the growing literature on the subject of evaluation in health education, and illustrates key issues with examples from a range of evaluated programmes. A framework for evaluating health education programmes is proposed and suggestions are made for improved health education research.Health Promotion
Repeat immigrants differ in terms of income trajectories, and may differ in terms of other outcomes as well. Furthermore, this study underlines that Swedish registers provide a reliable data source to analyze groups which are unidentifiable in other data sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
