Religiosity can be an important factor in women's health-related behaviour, attitudes, and decision-making. Evidence however, regarding the religiosity of mothers and its influence on child health, is scarce. Based on a large population-based cohort in Australia, we aim to examine the religiosity of women in Australia and the association of maternal religiosity with children's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and lifestyle.

This study aims to compare the dispersion of COVID-19 disease among four Iranian cities in North Khorasan named Bojnord, Farooj, Jajarm, and Shirvan.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study includes information about the daily morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 in 1124 patients from March to May 2021.
In this study, we investigate the feasibility of utilizing optical injection locking with phase-locked loop feedback to generate a true local oscillator for continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD). We evaluate the noise and imperfections associated with this novel approach and compare our findings with existing CV-QKD schemes. Notably, our calculations demonstrate significantly lower noise levels compared to other locally generated local oscillator-based CV-QKD schemes.

Traditional regression models focus on mean effects, but factors can impact the entire distribution of responses over time. Linear mixed quantile regression models (LQMMs) address this issue.
