Abstract: Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is an over growth disorder posing a greater risk of developing cancer in children. It is incurable, however, there are treatment options available to restore the health condition of the child. Nursing care is focused in meeting the physical and psychological needs of the child as well as the parents. It is vital for the neonatal nurses to recognize BWS in the early years of life owing to the risks involved such as medical complications, malformations, and embryonic malignancies.(1).

Abstract: This paper explores the analysis of school practices through a positivistic lens, focusing on various themes. Firstly, it delves into the influence of "common sense" assumptions in teaching practices, often unchallenged and masking the social construction of knowledge. Secondly, it addresses the insensitivity of classroom teachers to the complex transmission of socially based definitions, contributing to the reproduction and legitimization of dominant cultural norms within classroom instruction. The study further scrutinizes teachers' tendencies to overlook crucial questions about classroom perceptions, student sense-making, and the mediation of knowledge. Additionally, it investigates the mechanisms of social control within schools and how they legitimize broader societal beliefs and values. The research examines how specific forms of knowledge are produced, distributed, and legitimized within the school context.....
