When Is Teasing Abuse? A Grounded Theory of Teasing Among Mexican American Adolescent Dating Couples.

This study examined the use of teasing during observed videotaped interactions of Mexican American adolescent dating couples ( = 34; 15-17 years old) from an urban area of the Southwest United States. During the interaction task, couples discussed two relationship problems for 14 min and nearly all interactions (88.2%) contained teasing.

Differences in Pharmacological Treatment of Heart Failure Among Persons with or without Major Cognitive Disorder: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on National Registries in Sweden.

Introduction: Comorbidities are common among older people, and during the last decade, a strong association between heart failure (HF) and cognitive impairment has been found. As much as 40-50% of individuals with HF will also have some degree of cognitive impairment. Previous studies report an undertreatment for some cardiovascular diseases in patients with major neurocognitive disorder (NCD).

Infant and parent heart rates during a babywearing procedure: Evidence for autonomic coregulation.

Babywearing is the practice of carrying an infant in a baby carrier, which may provide an inexpensive, nonpharmacological intervention for the parent-infant dyads to handle mental stressors, such as pain and anxiety, especially among vulnerable infants. This study investigated the influence of babywearing on parent-infant autonomic coregulation based on the changes in the HR of mother-infant and father-infant dyads for infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). Guided by the Calming Cycle Theory as the framework, the correlation between parent HR and infant HR and the difference in the mother-infant dyad (n = 17) compared to the father-infant dyad (n = 8) were examined.

Mother-infant attachment from the perspective of young mothers: Does the data support a maternal instinct?

Some conceptualizations of attachment imply an instinctual behavior that occurs naturally. Mothers who endorse this view are at greater risk for psychological stress, depression, and harsh parenting styles if they do not feel an immediate bond with their infant postpartum. The purpose of this study is to explore actual experiences of attachment from the perspective of young mothers (N = 75, M = 19.

Archaeological evidence of resource utilisation of walrus, , over the past two millennia: A systematic review protocol.

The walrus, is an iconic pinniped and predominant molluscivore that is well adapted to Arctic and subarctic environments. Its circumpolar distribution, large body size and ivory tusks facilitated its vital role as food, raw material (for tools and art), income, and cultural influence on many Arctic Indigenous communities for millennia. Intensification of hunting (often due to the arrival of Europeans, especially between the 16 and 19 centuries) to obtain ivory, hide, blubber and meat, resulted in diminished, sometimes extirpated, walrus populations.
