The present study is concerned with cultural diversity climate at school and how it relates to acculturation orientations and psychological school adjustment of early adolescent immigrants. Specifically, the distinct role of two types of diversity policy is investigated, namely (a) fostering equality and inclusion and (b) acknowledging cultural pluralism. Longitudinal multilevel analyses based on 386 early adolescent immigrant students (Mage = 10.49 years) in 44 ethnically heterogeneous classrooms in Germany revealed that the manifestations of both types of policies promote psychological school adjustment (i.e., better well-being and fewer psychological and behavioral problems) at the individual level. However, they differ in their effects on acculturation orientations. At the classroom level, equality and inclusion promote assimilation. Implications for research and educational practice are discussed.

Background: Language and cultural factors are known to influence cognitive performance on neuropsychological measures used to assess cognitive impairment and dementia. A new measure, the Characterising Language Experience and Acculturation Questionnaire (CLEAr-Q) was developed to address the gap in access to a brief measure of these factors in the Australian context. The aim is to validate and further develop the CLEAr-Q as a tool to capture linguistic and acculturation variables to improve measurement of cognition in older adults from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds.

Background: The global aging population raises concerns about increased neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the situation among the indigenous inhabitants remains unknown due to various barriers, including cultural diversity, lack of studies, low awareness, language barriers, and limited healthcare access. Brief cognitive tests like the Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale (RUDAS) show promise in overcoming these challenges.

Background: Despite increased recruitment of Latina medical students, the percentage of Latina physicians has remained stagnant, suggesting unique retentive barriers affecting this population. Discriminatory experiences involving bias may contribute to difficulties in the retention and advancement of Latinas in medicine. This qualitative analysis aimed to explore thematic barriers prevalent among Latinas throughout their medical training in the United States.

During the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene and in the early Holocene period, hunter-gatherer communities across tropical South America deployed a range of technological strategies to adapt to diverse environmental conditions. This period witnessed a rich tapestry of technological practices, from enduring, widely disseminated tools to local and sporadically utilized technologies, shaping a multifaceted landscape of technological traditions. Lithic technology during this period was mainly marked by localized sourcing of raw materials, the use of multifunctional tools, a variety of projectile point designs, and the frequently utilization of unifacial shaping technology.
