Can AI Robot Teaching Improve Children's Performance in Housework? A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Background: The primary objective of this study is to explore the effects of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) robot-assisted instruction in preschool activities on young children's performance in housework.

Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, with an experimental group and two control groups, to observe changes in children's performance in housework before and after AI robot-assisted teaching. The study sample consisted of preschoolers from metropolitan Taipei, with 65 children in the experimental group, 53 in control group 1, and 75 in control group 2.

Young Children's Housework Participation in Taiwan: Serial Multiple Mediations.

The purpose of this study was to investigate not only the participating in housework but also the parents' attitude and child's preference, in relation to children's health and housework participation in Taiwan. We collected data from the Young Children's Housework Participation Questionnaire on "Google forms". A total of 755 parents with preschool children living in Keelung City, Taipei City, and New Taipei City participated through the snowball method.

What Type of Housework Happiness Do You Prefer? Does Gender and Health Matter? A Taiwanese Study.

The purposes of this study was to discover the circumstances in which people gain happiness from performing housework and to understand gender differences in housework-related happiness. We used national data from the Taiwan Social Change Survey conducted in 2011. Only married and cohabiting respondents were included in this study ( = 1250).

Factors associated with cytomegalovirus infection in children undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.

While preemptive therapy with ganciclovir (GCV) for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is used following allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT), risk factors for CMV infection in children undergoing HSCT are poorly understood.We studied CMV reactivation following allogeneic HSCT by retrospectively analyzing pediatric patients who received allogeneic HSCT and preemptive GCV therapy between 1998 and 2016. The level of viremia requiring preemptive GCV therapy was >1 CMV antigen-positive cells per 5 × 10 leukocytes during the antigenemia assay era and >1000 copies/mL in the polymerase chain reaction era.

Copper-associated hepatitis in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A case report.

Rationale: We report a complicated case of cholestatic hepatitis with suspected autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and copper toxicity syndrome after HSCT and donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI).

Patient Concerns: A 19-year-1-month-old girl presented with a history of CML. She underwent matched unrelated donor HSCT and donor lymphocyte infusion subsequently.

Relationship between housework and perceived happiness of middle-aged and older women in Taiwan-The moderating effect of health condition.

In this study, we investigated how physical health moderates the effect of housework on the perceived well-being in a sample of middle-aged and older women living with a partner in Taiwan. Two main findings were identified: First, the health status of middle-aged and older women moderates the relationship between their sense of housework fairness and perceived happiness. Second, the health status of their spouse moderates the relationship between their housework performance and perceived happiness.

A requirement of nuclear factor-kappaB activation in fear-potentiated startle.

Previous studies have shown that biochemical changes that occur in the amygdala during fear conditioning in vivo are similar to those occur during long term potentiation (LTP) in vitro. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay of nuclear extracts from startle-potentiated rats showed a selective increase in the amygdala of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) DNA binding activity. Supershift experiments further indicated that p65 and p50 subunits but not c-Rel were involved in DNA binding.
