According to the principle of duty of care, adults in the lives of children with disabilities such as autistic children are expected to promote their development. The Nutbeam's health literacy model was adopted to explore the efforts of special education teachers and parents toward promoting better eating habits among autistic children in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Twenty-one participants, comprising fifteen special education teachers and six parents with autistic children, were examined in this study. The results indicated that some special education teachers’ and parents’ limited understanding of unhealthy food might impact the development of autistic children. Furthermore, the findings also highlight the lack of collaboration and communication between teachers regarding the nutrition and healthy living of autistic children. The findings have practical consequences, such as urging UAE health policymakers to provide professional development for special education instructors and parents of autistic children.
A simple extractive spectrophotometric method for the determination of bismuth has been developed. It is based upon oxidation of bismuth(III) to bismuthate with potassium periodate at pH 7-8. The resulting species is then extracted with tetramethylammonium iodide in chloroform followed by direct spectrophotometric measurement at 513 nm. The optimum concentration range evaluated by Ringbom's method was found to be 0.05-10 mg l\. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity for the formed ion-pair at 513 nm have been found to be 4.2;10 mol\ cm\ and 0.09 g/cm, respectively.
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.
