There are different approaches to define small economies. Besides usual quantitative ways to measure country’s smallness by its population, territory, GDP and other criteria, there some qualitative factors that are used to define the economy’s scale. Some economists state that small economies are those that adopt “price taking” policies as they cannot dictate their rules in the market, neither significantly influence trade rules. This peculiarity of small economies mainly lies in the fact that such countries have limited resources. Hereby, small countries are more dependent on imports and are forced to accept trade agreements offered by large ...

The case for breastfeeding has long been a controversial one. Given to formula feeding for largely work-related reasons, mothers are made to weigh benefits of breastfeeding against formula feeding. The breastfeeding / formula feeding dichotomy rests on confirmed benefits of breastfeeding as opposed to lack of proper research supporting such benefits. If anything, defenders argue for formula feeding based on practicalities for working women but also for, allegedly, lack of proper scientific evidence on benefits of breastfeeding. On flipside, a growing body of literature is accumulating evidence to confirmed benefits of breastfeeding. This evidence does not only rest on ...

According to Malina, Bar-Or, and Bouchard (2004), development refers to the process of differentiation and specialisation of the embryonic stem cells into different types of cells, organs, and tissues. The formation of the orofacial structures mainly takes place in the prenatal development stage primarily in the embryonic period and the early foetal period. Further development continues after birth until the baby acquires full maturity. Neural factors greatly influence the postnatal growth of the orofacial structures. It is also mainly characterised by the growth at the secondary growth sites of the temporomandibular joint. Other structures forming part of the orofacial ...

Abstract

Erik Erikson developed a psychosocial theory to explain stages of development experienced throughout an individual’s life, from birth and infancy to old age and death. He is most closely compared to Freud, whose psychoanalytic theory predated and somewhat overlapped Erikson’s. Where they were divided, though, was with regards to motivation; Freud believed sexuality was the underlying reason for action whereas Erikson believed social interaction mostly motivated people. Erikson outlined eight total stages to describe dichotomous “life crises” that define important dilemmas at any particular stage of life. The eight stages encompass the acquisition or loss of qualities ...

In exploring the function of touch in the field of improving child/infant has been neglected. This is because of the theory developed by John Bowlby, which has gone on to focus on the actual need for an infant to attain a tight and unbreakable attachment to its caregiver. In honesty, this has been an extremely valuable contribution in trying to connect and aiding a child's growth in its infant period and future development. The theory is restricted in its reference of the importance of the sense of touch and its importance in its contribution to the making of the said theory. ...

In my practice, I will often get questions from new mothers about proper infant nutrition – what should they feed them, bottle vs. breast milk, etc. Many are simply not sure how to go about feeding their children, believing that they can merely rely on formula and baby food for an indeterminate amount of time. For these new, undereducated mothers, I feel it is necessary to provide them with quality information on the importance of infant nutrition, and some sources to back up this data. I also want to provide them with resources they can use to expand their ...
