The authors tested the influence of structural features of local unions (N = 43) on members' union commitment (N = 539) as moderated by members' gender. By using a cross-level analysis, they identified local structure with officers' ratings of innovation, formalization, and centralization. An anticipated interaction between gender and innovation was not found. However, as predicted, women's commitment was positively related to formalization and negatively related to centralization. In contrast, men's commitment was only slightly influenced by local formalization but was positively related to centralization. The need for structural redesign to enhance member's commitment, particularly among women, was discussed.

Airborne pollen is considered to be one of the air pollutants that can cause allergic reactions in humans, leading to the occurrence or aggravation of a series of allergic diseases. The latest study showed that the positive rate of pollen allergens in allergic rhinitis patients in urban areas of Beijing exceeded 80%. Accurate prediction of pollen content could provide more effective assistance to susceptible populations.

Background: A consistent link between self-forgiveness and well-being has been established, yet a full understanding of self-forgiveness and its correlates, particularly in relation to forgiveness by God, remains limited, especially given that most existing data are cross-sectional. This study sought to address this gap by investigating the interplay between self-forgiveness and perceived forgiveness by God in reducing stress overload among religious individuals over time.
Methods: This study involved 211 religious individuals in Canada, 55% of whom were female.

Parenthood and Couples' Division of Paid Labor: The Role of Prebirth Breadwinner Couple Type in European Cross-National Perspective.
Demography
December 2024
Institute of Social Sciences, Swiss Centre of Expertise in Life Course Research (LIVES), University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Although it is well established that parenthood affects employment decisions within households, less is known about how this effect varies across couple types in different countries. Using difference-in-differences analysis with propensity score matching and multilevel modeling with cross-level interactions, this study explores heterogeneity in the effect of parenthood on couples' division of paid labor by prebirth relative earning power in different European contexts. The results show that the decline in the female share of couples' paid working hours after parenthood is stronger in male main-earner couples than in equal-earner or female main-earner couples.

- - Data from 800 participants living in different communities was analyzed, revealing that individual-level structural social capital positively influences cognitive function, while cognitive social capital's effects depend on the community's structural social capital context.
- - The findings suggest that fostering social capital at both the individual and community levels may enhance cognitive health in older adults, emphasizing the importance of understanding these complex relationships.
