Background: Raising a child with developmental disorder is often related to higher stress levels for both mothers and fathers. The aim of the present study was to investigate relationships between resilience, family hardiness, life satisfaction and parental stress among parents of children with and without disabilities.

Method: Twenty-eight pairs of parents of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, 15 of a child with Down Syndrome and 25 of a child without disability took part in the study. All parents completed four questionnaires independently.

Results: Significant differences between groups emerged in parental resilience, stress, and life satisfaction. Correlational analyses showed that parental hardiness and resilience were negatively related to parental stress through all the three groups.

Conclusions: These findings point to increased evidence that the presence of a disability may not directly affect the sense of family hardiness. Practical implications were discussed.

Infertility affects 10-15% of couples worldwide, with male factors accounting for half of cases. Environmental, behavioral, and genetic problems contribute to spermatogenic failure in 30% of idiopathic male infertility cases. Other factors, such as oxidative stress (OS), cause impaired spermatogenesis, abnormal sperm morphology, and reduced motility, eventually triggering male infertility.

Pyrus sinkiangensis, a crucial economic fruit tree in Xinjiang, China, experiences winter hardiness that significantly influences its yield and fruit quality. This study aimed to investigate the role of PsHB7/12 in cold resistance of Pyrus sinkiangensis and its regulation of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. Through physiological assessments and transcriptome analysis, we identified a peak expression of PsHB7/12 in January, which was strongly induced by ABA.

Amaranth is an ancient crop of the family Amaranthaceae, but it is fairly new to Russia. Its seeds and leaf biomass contain a high-quality gluten-free protein, fatty acids, squalene (a polyunsaturated hydrocarbon), flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. A comprehensive study of amaranth, enhancement of its breeding, and development of new cultivars will contribute to food quality improvement through the use of plant raw materials enriched for wholesome and highly nutritious components.
