combined low income and material deprivation indicates the children below 70 percent of median income together with as yet an undefined material deprivation index. Fourthly, the persistent low income is to be defined in 2014. Field (2010) stated that this Act was more feasible so it may be easier for government to achieve the anti-child poverty strategy announced in 1999. However, he also argued that this strategy is proposed before the economic recession and the programs to end child poverty…

professionals have come to occupy a predominant place as the problems solvers of the modern era (Pandey, 1990). In the context of the child welfare domain, social work is generally considered to be the lead profession in matters concerning child protection (Jackson et al., 2003).

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…

Mixed contamination of PAHs and metals occur ubiquitously in the environment, but their combined toxicity to humans and other organisms are not fully addressed. The data from epidemiological, animal and in vitro studies indicated the nature of interaction between PAHs and metals varies from synergism to additivity or antagonism. In this chapter, the combined toxicity of PAHs and metals on toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic endpoints, and possible mechanism of actions were discussed. In addition,…

tannins contents. Our value is lower than that of Rai [2] who found 7.8 %. Tannins possessing useful properties such as antioxidant, antiapoptosis, anti-aging, anti carcinogenic, antiinflammatory, as well as anti atherosclerosis and cardiovascular protection [14]. The results of heavy metals in Stevia leaves grown in China fall within internationally accepted range [15] where vegetables should not exceed 6, 0.1, 1.4 and 0.5 µg/g respectively for Pb, Cd, As and Hg.
