Effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine in New Zealand infants between 8 weeks and three years old Abstract Background. Rotavirus is a gastrointestinal illness characterized by vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach ache and a fever. Children less than three years old are particularly at risk of dehydration from the sudden vomiting and diarrhoea, which can require hospitalisation. A vaccine against rotavirus was recommended globally by WHO in 2009, and it has recently been approved into the New Zealand immunisation

convenience sample by choosing students enrolled in college classes. 4. Concepts: a. Random assignment: Both studies used randomizer software used to achieve stratified random assignment, hoping to ensure an equal sex distribution across conditions in experimental and control groups. Participants had equal chance of being in treatment or control group. b. Matching: In both studies, participants were prescreened for history of diagnosis/treatment for hypercholesterolemia and use of blood-thinning agents

Mothlight, by Stan Brakhage, is also a film heavily focused on the visuals. Released in 1963, Mothlight's running time of four minutes consists of nothing but what look like pictures of winged insects and foliage. Further investigation reveals that Brakhage created the film without a camera, and instead used two strips of splicing tape to press the object enough to emit light through it (Braunstein 285). No viewer of Mothlight will stop to wonder about a conceivable plot the film could be trying

literary design, editing, cinematography and sound design. First and foremost, we have the Lemon Movie which was produced by Hollis Frampton in 1969. In general, this movie is a silent movie and it has no sound at all. The Lemon Movie seems to be an experimental movie that was performed by having a static lemon. It is an ostensibly a one short film that represents a radical pairing of materials and methods. It gives a portrait of a superstar fruit which begins to show up in darkness before it gradually

S. Lee, J. Manganello, J. Rice, C. Taylor (2010) preformed a study to understand childhood aggression. The journal article of Mothers’ Spanking of 3-Year-Old Children and Subsequent Risk of Children’s Aggressive Behavior starts by saying that they are not the first to perform this research and many of studies have displayed connection between corporal punishment with children and child aggression. They are testing their research with new controlling factors, which have not been controlled together

Part B – Critical Literature Review Part B of this paper will critically review and compare four articles identified as relevant to the topic chosen for systematic review proposal. The review will therefore be analysing the research methods, description of the study, design and significance of findings to the topic of research and management of chronic low back pain. Further, the review will discuss some strength and weakness associated with the chosen articles and relevant findings and their implication

1.3 Clinical Trials A clinical trial is a prospective study comparing the effect and value of an intervention(s) against a control in human beings (Friedman & De Mets, 2010). It is an assured way of determining whether an intervention has the hypothesized effect since researchers have control of most of the cofounders involved in the studies. Each of the participants is followed onward in time from a defined point in time, which is the baseline for the study. Participants are randomly assigned

perceives the flaw to be in. My control group would be people who perceived their flaw to be something about their nose or simply their nose in general. My experimental group would be participants who perceived their flaw to be something about their stomach, or their stomach in general. My hypothesis is that those participants from my experimental group, would have a high correlation with also suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, while the other group would typically not. In order for me to carry out

Method The method of S1 was a literature search utilizing the Pubmed database for studies that contained subheadings of diet, antioxidants, and prostatic neoplasms. The references of selected studies was reviewed to identify additional articles. Studies that only examined plasma levels were excluded. Selected were 12 intervention studies and 32 observational studies. Results S1 reported on 16 studies concerning vitamin E and vitamin E components: two case-control, six prospective and four intervention

No Link Found between Autism and Vaccinations The purpose of report is to explore the possible link between the development of Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and vaccinations containing thimerosal. Around the world, there is a debate over the administration of the mumps, measles, and rubella (MMR) vaccination due to the use of the preserver, Thimerasol. Thimerasol’s use is controversial to the fact that the compound contains the toxic chemical element, mercury (Hg). In 1999, the Center
