Synchronization behaviors in globally coupled phase oscillators with symmetric bimodal frequency distribution and periodic coupling are studied. It is found that by a proper setting of the frequency of the periodic coupling, the synchronization propensity of the oscillators can be markedly improved. Specifically, we show that when the frequency of the periodic coupling matches the distance of the central frequencies in the distribution, the critical coupling characterizing the onset of synchronization can be substantially decreased. The mechanism behind the phenomenon of periodic-coupling-enhanced synchronization is analyzed by the methods of Ott-Antonsen ansatz and synchronization transition tree, and it is revealed that the synchronization enhancement is attributed to the resonance between the synchronization clusters and the periodic coupling.

Parental burnout and parent-child relationship: the role of harsh parenting in couples.
Psychol Health Med

Department of Medicine, Huzhou University, Huzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Parental burnout is a prominent topic in current family research, with proven detrimental effects on the well-being of both parents and children. However, the specific mechanism by which parenting burnout impacts the parent-child relationship within families remains unclear. Furthermore, there is limited research exploring whether parenting burnout has a direct impact on the parent-child relationship.

Nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit high reactivity and mobility in the environment, and a significant capacity to penetrate living organisms, potentially leading to harmful effects. Volcanoes are the second major source of natural NPs emitted into the atmosphere, with an estimated flux of 342 Tg/year. Few studies have focused on their fate.

The teleconnections between El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and Tropical North Atlantic warming (+TNA) play a critical role in characterizing extreme drought events in the Amazon Basin (AB). This study examines the seven most recent drought extreme events up to 2023, using seasonal composites of the sea surface temperature and atmospheric variables over a five-quarter period starting at the austral spring(-1) of the year preceding that when the lowest water level at Manaus port was recorded. Two distinct patterns emerge, driven by consecutive ENSO events with opposite phases, referred to as cyclic La Niña-El Niño and cyclic El Niño-La Niña drought events.

Psychoneuroendocrinology
January 2025
Department of Psychology, Bangor University, Bangor, Gwynedd, United Kingdom. Electronic address:
In a variety of settings, cortisol and testosterone are positively "coupled." That is, within-person fluctuations of these hormones occur in parallel, with increases and decreases in one hormone corresponding to increases and decreases in the other. A dataset comprised of salivary cortisol and testosterone levels from varsity women athletes from six different Emory University sports teams (volleyball 2002, 2005, and 2008; softball 2004; tennis 2009; soccer 2013) was used to explore the relationship between coupling and hormone reactivity to athletic competition.

Background: Pregnancy is often seen as a joyful and fulfilling time for many women. However, a significant number of women in Ethiopia experience intimate partner violence (IPV) during this period. Despite this, there is limited evidence on interventions aimed at preventing violence during pregnancy.
