In low- and middle-income countries, urbanization has spurred the expansion of peri-urban communities, or urban communities of formerly rural residents with low socioeconomic status. The growth of these communities offers researchers an opportunity to measure the associations between the level of urbanization and the home language environment (HLE) among otherwise similar populations. Data were collected in 2019 using Language Environment Analysis observational assessment technology from 158 peri-urban and rural households with Han Chinese children (92 males, 66 females) aged 18-24 months in China. Peri-urban children scored lower than rural children in measures of the HLE and language development. In both samples, child age, gender, maternal employment, and sibling number were positively correlated with the HLE, which was in turn correlated with language development.

Effect of sign language learning on temporal resolution of visual attention.

Department of Communicative Disorders, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA.
The visual environment of sign language users is markedly distinct in its spatiotemporal parameters compared to that of non-signers. Although the importance of temporal and spectral resolution in the auditory modality for language development is well established, the spectrotemporal parameters of visual attention necessary for sign language comprehension remain less understood. This study investigates visual temporal resolution in learners of American Sign Language (ASL) at various stages of acquisition to determine how experience with sign language affects perceptual sampling.

University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, Worcester, MA, USA.
Background: It has been shown that dysbiosis, or dysfunction of the gastrointestinal (gut) microbiome is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we aimed to expand on beyond our previously reported findings of the gut microbiome associating with AD and explore if the gut microbiome is predictive of cognitive performance in individuals with AD. We sought to identity what cognitive domains are associated with the microbiome in our cohort of AD patients and healthy controls without dementia.

Objectives: Given the rapid growth of the field of health policy and systems research (HPSR), it is important to monitor the research environment, especially the evolution of HPSR research outputs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The objective of this study was to generate quantitative metrics to assess the production of HPSR publications and the role of the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research (the Alliance) grant-funded projects in 11 LMICs over the past 20 years.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search for HPSR literature from 1999 to 2020 pertaining to 11 target LMIC countries, including grey literature.
