    Notes: Aim  This study set out to examine the socio-cultural, familial and environmental factors influencing health, eating habits and patterns of physical activity contributing to child and adolescent overweight and obesity.Methods  Semi-structured, community-based interviews were conducted with contrasting key informant three-generation families; and generation by generation focus groups of grandparents, parents and children from four cultural communities in the state of Victoria, Australia. Purposive sampling occurred from Turkish, Greek, Indian and Chinese communities that have migrated to Australia within the last three generations (n = 160, eight families, 47 children aged 5–15 years, 29 parents, 42 grandparents).Results  Evidence of two-way influences on eating and physical activity across three generations was evident, with children reporting the greatest cross-cultural diversity. A range of dietary restrictions was reported across all cultural groups. Efforts to foster healthy eating and lifestyle patterns within communities were evident. Parents, as a generation in particular, felt the need for more access to education and support regarding healthy limits for pre-puberty and puberty stages.Conclusion  There is a dynamic influence of culture on many aspects of family lifestyle across three generations. To achieve successful intervention design, childhood obesity researchers need to collaborate with diverse groups and communities. Considering the role and influence of extended family, a multigenerational, whole-of-community approach beyond that of parent and child populations ought to be considered.

    Notes: The thermal diffusivity of γ-alumina is determined by the photoacoustic method. The method is calibrated by determining the thermal diffusivity of copper and aluminum. The effect of the chemisorbed hydroxyl groups on thermal diffusivity is studied by degassing the sample at different temperatures. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effect of the chemisorbed hydroxyl groups on the thermal diffusivity of γ alumina is determined by evaluating the thermal diffusivity at various degassing temperatures and by doping it with rare earth oxide using photoacoustic technique. The thermal diffusivity is found to decrease with the increase in degassing temperature as well as with the increase in the doping concentration of rare earth oxide. This decrease has been attributed to the loss of hydroxyl ion from the γ-Al2O3. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effect of processing variables on the texture of cooked, freeze-dried, beef top round has been studied. Treatments included “tenderstretch” hanging, aging, cooking temperature and time, infusion with salt solutions and use of antioxidants. Texture of meat was improved by “tenderstretch” hanging and rehydration in papain, while there was a large increase in texturometer hardness on high temperature storage. Increasing cooking temperatures resulted in increased hardness up to 75°C, but at 85°C and above decreases occurred. Cooking for 4 hr as compared to 2 hr had no effect at cooking temperatures below 75°C but at 85°C caused a decrease in hardness. Cooking temperature and time did not affect the storage properties of freeze-dried beef, but coming, infusion with sodium and potassium chlorides and aging all reduced the hardness increase caused by high temperature storage.

    Notes: The paper discusses the aspect of probable stress induced embrittlement of 304 stainless steel stresses originating from thermal exposure, uniaxial tension, and reverse bending, which have been simulated on the surface of SS plates of 1mm thickness, using conventional techniques. The physical and electrochemical properties of the treated SS materials have been followed up as a function of the corroding medium and also the type and extent of the stress interaction.

    Notes: Abstract— Continuous low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests with-and without-hold time in push-pull and torsion loading modes and sequential LCF tests in push-pull mode were carried out at 650°C in air on thin tubular specimens of 316 stainless steel; the sequential tests involving pure fatigue (PF) and creep-fatigue (CF) loadings. The growth of short fatigue cracks was studied by taking several replicas from the specimen surface which were subsequently observed under a scanning electron microscope. An analysis was done with respect to both crack density and the orientation of microcracks and macrocrack(s) which led to failure.Crack density was higher on the surface of a CF tested specimen than that of a PF tested specimen. Mainly short cracks oriented at 45° to the specimen axis were observed on a torsion fatigue tested specimen surface. For push-pull specimens the microcracks propagated perpendicular to the specimen axis to form macrocracks that propagated in the same direction. On the other hand, for torsion specimens the microcracks which initially propagated at 45° to the specimen axis linked to form macrocracks oriented parallel and perpendicular to the specimen axis. However, the macrocrack responsible for the final fracture was always oriented parallel to the specimen axis.Cumulative damage was dependent on the type of loading (PF or CF) in the first part of sequential tests. In particular microcracks initiated during an initial damage phase observed under sequential LCF tests in PF were found to be healed by oxide formation during the hold times applied in the subsequent CF loading and this produced a total damage summation significantly larger than one.

    Notes: ‘Teenage suicides double as the future crumbles’ with collapse of the economy in Argentina (Arie 2002). Schizophrenia ‘linked to racism’, a study reveals among ethnic minorities in London (Boydell et al. 2001).The promotion of emotional well-being focuses on improving environments (social, physical, economic) that affect emotional well-being and enhancing the ‘coping’ capacity of communities as well as individuals (Wood & Wise 1997). What improvements in the ‘environment’ are required, and how does one ‘enhance coping’ in order to promote emotional well-being? What is the role of those working in community child health in promoting mental health and emotional well-being?Most of the research on the determinants of the health and well-being of populations have focused on physical health problems, particularly mortality and life expectancy (Marmot & Wilkinson 1999). There is less research on the ‘upstream’ (socioeconomic) determinants of mental health problems, and even less on emotional well-being and enhancing ‘coping’ or promoting resilience. Examples of upstream determinants of mental health problems include good evidence linking the prevalence of mental health problems of children and young people to income, educational status and family structure (Sawyer et al. 2001). Male youth suicide has been linked to such upstream determinants as relative unemployment rates. Suicide has increased with increasing ratio of youth to overall unemployment rates (Morrell et al. 2001). A significantly higher risk of suicide in Australia over the past century was shown to be associated with conservative governments compared with social democratic government tenures (Page et al. 2002).
