The ecology of economic disadvantage includes chaotic living conditions that may disrupt children's regulatory functioning and undermine mastery oriented responses to challenge. The present study examined chaotic living conditions, sleep problems, and responses to academic challenge for 96 economically disadvantaged children enrolled in a Head Start preschool. Caregiver interviews provided information regarding chaotic living conditions of residential crowding, noise, and family instability, as well as child sleep problems. Tasks individually administered to children provided measures of responses to academic challenge. Chaotic living conditions statistically predicted helpless/hopeless responses to academic challenge, and sleep problems partially mediated this relationship. Implications concern pathways of ecological risk and diversity in the school functioning of economically disadvantaged children.

Background: The use of emergency tourniquets among military personnel has helped to dramatically reduce battlefield deaths and has recently gained popularity in the civilian sector. Yet, even well-trained individuals can find it difficult to assess proper tourniquet application. Emergency tourniquets are typically deemed sufficiently tightened through cursory visual confirmation or pulse assessment.

The action of ozone in medicine is a subject of interest and lively, controversial debates. Its mechanisms of action are still far from fully understood. However, it is possible that ozone triggers a series of dynamics in living organisms related to chaos, multi-stable phenomena, and oscillatory processes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how predatory protists affect the composition of endophytic bacteria in plants by examining interactions in the rhizosphere, the soil region around plant roots.
- Experiments were conducted using three different protist species across various soil types to observe how these predators influence the microbial community dynamics, revealing unpredictable chaotic patterns instead of consistent outcomes.
- The findings suggest that protists play a significant role in shaping root-endophyte communities, which could provide insights for improving plant health and crop production through better understanding of these interactions.

Background: Older people living in care homes are at high risk of poor health outcomes and mortality if they contract coronavirus disease 2019. Protective measures include social distancing and isolation, although implementation is challenging.
Objectives: To explore the real-life experiences of social distancing and isolation in care homes for older people, and to develop a toolkit of guidance and resources.
