Young Parents

Young Parents Flexibility is the key in helping to ease work/life balance issues. For example, flexible start times and work schedules enable parents to drop off or pick up children from child-care or school. Part-time positions or work-share programs help during early the years of child-bearing and child-rearing. 

Several organizations interviewed for this Diversity Guide also allow engineers with a proven track record to take a leave of absence for personal reasons, such as working on volunteer projects for a non-profit organization or pursue a particular personal project.

This 4.53 Gyr represents the time that has elapsed since the last high-temperature event, which determined the time t = 0. For the oldest meteorites, the formation interval can also be estimated. Short half-life (1-100 Myr) radionuclides were present in the young parent body the daughters can be detected. This is the case of 129Xe (daughter of 129I with a half-life of 16 Myr). Since 129I was frozen in the parent body matrix, this means that the accretion process took a short time (a few million years).

The chick, by virtue of the retained yolk, can survive for 3-4 days without food or water. This should never be a survival mechanism that is put to the test, but it does explain why at 3-4 days of age it is common to see an increased mortality. Chicks with low vitality, and especially those from young parent flocks, often appear to be active until this age and then account for a mortality increase. As a guide the first week s mortality should not exceed 1 % and ideally be no higher than 0.75%. The time spent obtaining ideal conditions for the chick in terms of temperature, food, water and freedom from draughts cannot be overstated, but in a chapter such as this it is not possible to cover the finer points of management practices. It is sufficient to say that the brooding temperature of 30-32°C can be achieved by LPG (low-pressure gas) canopy brooders, by infra-red lamps, or by heat mats similar to those used in pig creeps. Whichever system is selected, the...

This sleep pattern, seen in adults, takes some time to develop and appears in infants only around 6 months to one year after birth. Instead, as new parents will testify, young babies have a sleep cycle that lasts only around 3-6 h. Further striking differences are that babies REM sleep accounts for as much as half the sleep cycle (compared with only a quarter in the adult) and is accompanied by increased motor activity with spasmodic movements of the limbs and facial muscles, rather than the muscle atonia seen in adults. In fact, the adult sleep cycle can take up to 20 years to stabilise and its pattern changes again in the elderly who show a reduction in the duration of SWS, an increase in the proportion of REM sleep, and increased daytime napping . 

Chewable tablets and sprinkle capsule formulations have been very well received by both patients and their parents for use in children with full dentition (older than 3 years, [75-77]. This is potentially a very fruitful area for future research and development. Pharmaceutical preparations developed for administration to young children need to have consistent bioavailability when administered with food [78].
