three days of their lives in the hospital environment. Recently, \or accommodating the mother and her newborn in one room has become popular. Despite this shift away from nursery - focused care, many newborns still spend a considerable portion of their hospital stay in the normal newborn nursery. Karraker explains that this occurs due to \of either the mother or the infant, the mother's need for rest, avoiding infections when the mother receives visitors, and the mother's desire to be relieved of caretaking duties at times\
The hospital newborn nursery is designed and operated according to specific regulations or standards. These standards result in environmental conditions of bright, continuous light and a high level of noise. Hilton referenced Kosten and Van Os as stating that the recommended noise level in the hospital setting should be no more than 35 decibels (分贝) during sleep periods and 40 decibels when the client is awake. Keefe described the nursery environment as having a noise level of over 80 decibels for an average of 146.8 minutes per four hour period of observation. Keefe warns that an 80 decibel noise level is comparable to loud traffic noise. She found that the most striking and persistent noise was the sound of other infants crying.
The multiple adjustments that the newborn makes are challenging even in a quiet, noticeable environment. The previously described nursery environmental characteristics present additional challenges because newborns undergo profound physiological adjustments and are particularly vulnerable to hazardous environmental conditions.
Conditions such as excessive light and sound levels affect not only the infants' physiological processes but also their behavioral states. Recently, professionals studying newborns have focused their attention on newborn behavioral patterns. Thoman, Denenberg & Sievel wrote that \newborn's state behaviors reflect both its own internal processes and external influences from the environment\clinically healthy newborns. In their 1981 study of newborn state organization, Thoman and colleagues observed that the newborns who exhibited irregular or \all later developed conditions ranging from delayed development, aplastic anemia, and hyperactivity to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Obstetrical (助产) nurses assume a major responsibility for monitoring the childbirth adjustment in both the mother and her newborn. Nursing interventions designed to reduce or mask the impact of harmful stimuli in the nursery environment are desirable. Not only must the environment be beneficial to physiological inner adjustment but \pattern of infant state cycles must become harmoniously integrated with the reappearing features of the environment\Few studies have examined the impact of such interventions on newborns in nursery settings. Research in this area is necessary because despite changes in policy related to \- in\newborns continue to spend significant amounts of time in the nursery. 66. What does a newborn need after birth?

Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom, and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people. Farmers and ranchers，called gauchos in Argentina, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn’t pay well，and many people felt lonely and frustrated with their new life in the city. As the unhappy gauchos and new immigrants mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango evolved.
The tango at the beginning was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets of Buenos Aires and at that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn’t want to be left out and wanted to practice the new dance, his only choice was to dance with another man. Groups of men would get together to practice so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually, the dance came into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became seen as being more respectable.
In Europe at this time, intense interest in dance from around the world was beginning. This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. Tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe on board the boats carrying beef from Argentina. They began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in the cabarets and cafes. Not everyone was for the new dance, however. In fact, it raised a few eyebrows among the more conservative members of society, who found the tango was a little too shocking. However, the dance did find enough supporters so that even the tango’s many critics could not put an end to its spreading popularity.
In the early 1900s, dance masters in both Paris and London developed more modest versions of the tango to teach to their students. These students then carried the tango into the ballrooms of Europe. Two forms of the tango emerged at this time—the fluid, stylish Paris tango and the stiffer, more conservative British tango. Neither of these tamed tangos carried the raw passion of the original Argentinian tango though.

America. However, Rudolf Valentino, who danced the tango in the 1921 film The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, really contributed to the growth and popularity of the tango across America. The tango danced in the ballrooms of the United States closely resembled the stiff, proper British tango.
The tango reached Japan in 1926, thanks mainly to one man —Baron Tsunayoshi “Tsunami” Megata. This Japanese nobleman had been living in Europe for 6 years when he returned to Tokyo in 1926. When he returned to Japan, he took with him a handful of tango records and an excellent understanding of the Paris tango. Baron Megata wasted no time in setting up a dance academy in Tokyo in which he could teach his wealthy friends the tango and other popular ballroom dances of Europe. Around 1930, British dance masters began setting up their own dance schools in Kobe, and the British tango soon became the most popular version of the tango danced in Japan. Baron Megata is reported to have said, “Whenever you dance, remember you should feel as though you are in love with your partner, even if you have just met the person.”
The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world, including Asia. In Japan, the 1996 film Shall We Dance? which featured flamenco and tango dancing, led to a dance boom around the country. In 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador to promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.
