Spillover effect of children's education on parental physical functioning over the life course.

Parental well-being is linked to the life chances of adult children in later life. Despite accumulated knowledge on the role of children's education on parental longevity in developed contexts, it remains unknown how children's education may influence the trajectories of parental physical well-being over the aging process, particularly in developing contexts. Using a growth curve model and four-wave data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, this study examines the association between children's education and parental physical functioning trajectories as parents age.

I was already concerned about her developmental outcomes due to the birth itself, but the alarms and noise in the NICU gave me incredible pause. So when I found about DREAMIES, a product that helps muffle the noise not only in the NICU but during transport and during an MRI, I was amazed.

In this study, we investigate the application of support vector machines utilizing a radial basis function kernel for predicting nuclear α-decay half-lives. Our approach integrates a comprehensive set of physics-derived features, including characteristics derived from nuclear structure, to systematically evaluate their impact on predictive accuracy. In addition to traditional parameters such as proton and neutron numbers, as well as terms based on the liquid drop model (e.

However, high-quality daughters ensure that grandoffspring receive quality parental care and may possess greater reproductive value than their brothers, favoring daughters also from high-quality mothers. Using a mixed cross-fostering approach, we investigated effects of early rearing conditions, covariance between breeders and their genetic parents in parental quality, and primary offspring sex ratios in Carolina wrens.

December 2024
School of Health and Society, University of Wollongong, Australia.
Study Objectives: To examine 1) multidimensional sleep profiles in pre-schoolers (3-6 years) across geocultural regions and 2) differences in sleep characteristics and family practices between Majority World regions (Pacific Islands, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America) and the Minority World (the Western world).
Methods: Participants were 3507 pre-schoolers from 37 countries. Nighttime sleep characteristics and nap duration (accelerometer: n=1950) and family practices (parental questionnaire) were measured.
