The response of 185 infants to their mothers' departure was assessed in a rural area of Bangladesh. Despite their poor health and nutritional status, this group of infants showed the same peak in separation protest around the end of the first year that has been documented for healthier samples in several cultural contexts; correlational analysis suggests that the healthier infants were more likely to display protest. In addition, there was an earlier rise and decline in distress at maternal departure in the first half year of life, not seen in other reports. In this case, poor health appeared to dispose toward upset, indicating that the most fragile infants were least able to cope with the regulatory demands imposed by maternal departure. Overall, the results are evidence for a very strongly canalized transformation of cognitive and emotional functioning toward the end of the first year of life.

Masked uncontrolled hypertension among elderly black sub-saharan africans compared to younger adults: a cross-sectional in-hospital study.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
September 2024
Cardiology Unit, University of Kinshasa, Kinshasa 1, PO Box 1038, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.
Background: Although aging and being of African descent are well-known risk factors for masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH), data on MUCH among elderly black sub-Saharan Africans (BSSA) are limited. Furthermore, it is unclear whether the determinants of MUCH in younger individuals differ from those in the elderly.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with MUCH in both elderly and younger BSSA individuals.
People sometimes protest government corruption, yet our current understanding of why they do so is culturally constrained. Can we separate factors influencing people's willingness to protest government corruption from factors to each socioecological context? Surprisingly little cross-cultural data exist on this important question. To fill this gap, we performed a cross-cultural test of the Axiological-Identitary Collective Action Model (AICAM) regarding the intention to protest against corruption.

Background: Although there have been consistent improvements in maternal mortality, it remains high in developing countries due to unequal access to healthcare services during pregnancy and childbirth. Thus, this study aimed to further analyze the variations in the number of antenatal care utilizations and associated factors among pregnant women in urban and rural Ethiopia.
Methods: A total of 3962 pregnant women were included in the analysis of 2019 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data.
German questionnaires assessing quality of life and psycho-social status in people with epilepsy: Reliable change and intercorrelations.
Epilepsy Behav
January 2024
Department of Epileptology, Mara Hospital (Bethel Epilepsy Center), Medical School OWL, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany; Neuropsychology and Epilepsy Research, Medical School OWL, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany.
Objectives: People with epilepsy (PWE) not only suffer from seizures but also from various psycho-social issues containing facets such as social functioning, anxiety, depression or stigmatization, and consequently quality of life. (1) Assessing reliable change of these issues is crucial to evaluate their course and potential treatment effects. As most psycho-social self-report questionnaires have been validated in separate samples, their clinical-socio-demographic differences may limit the comparability and generalizability of the scales' internal consistency, which is important for the reliable change index (RCI).
