Paediatric palliative home care with Internet-based video-phones: lessons learnt

We have designed and tested an Internet-based video-phone suitable for use in the homes of families in need of paediatric palliative care services. The equipment uses an ordinary telephone line and includes a PC, Web camera and modem housed in a custom-made box. In initial field testing, six clinical consultations were conducted in a one-month trial of the videophone with a family in receipt of palliative care services who were living in the outer suburbs of Brisbane. Problems with variability in call quality-namely audio and video freezing, and audio break-up-prompted further laboratory testing. We completed a programme of over 250 test calls. Fixing modem connection parameters to use the V.34 modulation protocol at a set bandwidth of 24 kbit/s improved connection stability and the reliability of the video-phone. In subsequent field testing 47 of 50 calls (94%) connected without problems. The freezes that did occur were brief (with greatly reduced packet loss) and had little effect on the ability to communicate, unlike the problems arising in the home testing. The low-bandwidth Internet-based video-phone we have developed provides a feasible means of doing telemedicine in the home.

RELIGIÃO E CAPITAL SOCIAL NA PERIFERIA URBANA DO GRANDE ABC PAULISTA UMA ANÁLISE DAS REDES SOCIAIS PENTECOSTAIS NO MUNICÍPIO DE RIO GRANDE DA SERRA

A presente pesquisa analisa igrejas evangélicas pentecostais no município de Rio Grande da Serra, região do Grande ABC Paulista. Busca identificar qual é o papel social desses grupos religiosos de grande crescimento no município junto aos seus membros em situação socioeconômica frágil, tanto quanto para a população carente da cidade. A partir de uma reflexão acerca da constituição de espaços territoriais periféricos , e das práticas associativas nesses espaços, nosso objetivo é estudar o associativismo religioso formal e informal, e a construção de redes sociais em seu entorno, e a sua contribuição para o aumento do capital social, entendido este, segundo Bourdieu, como agregado de benefícios materiais e simbólicos, de seus participantes. A pesquisa leva em consideração que a cidade caracteriza-se por ser uma região de periferia, em que parcela importante da população vive em situação de segregação, riscos e vulnerabilidade social.

Cultural perceptions of space and place in the South Florida *environment

Public opinion polls in the United States reveal that a great majority of Americans are aware and show concern about ecological issues and the need to preserve natural areas. In South Florida, natural resources have been subjected to enormous strain as the pressure to accommodate a growing population has led to rapid development. Suburbs have been built on areas that were once natural wetlands and farmlands, and the impact today shows a landscape where natural places have all but disappeared. This dissertation examines the intersection between the perceptions that individuals living in the South Florida region have with respect to the natural environment and local ecological problems with where their relationship to nature takes place. ^ The research is based upon both quantitative and qualitative data. The principal methodology used in this research is the ethnographic method, which employed the data gathering techniques of in-depth interviewing and participant observation. The objective of the qualitative portion of the study was to determine how people perceive and relate to their immediate environment. The quantitative portion of the study employed telephone survey data from the FIU/Florida Poll 2000. Data collected through this survey provided the basis to statistically test responses to the research questions. ^ The findings show that people in South Florida have a general idea of the relationship between the human population and the environment but very little knowledge of how they individually affect each other. The experience of private places and public spaces in everyday life permits people to compartmentalize cultural values and understandings of the natural world in separate cognitive schemas. The appreciation of the natural world has almost no connection to their personal sense of obligation to preserve the environment. That obligation is only felt in their home space even though the South Florida environment overall struggles desperately with water shortages, land encroachment, and a rapidly expanding human population whose activities continuously aggravate an already delicate natural balance. ^
