The Effects of Birth Order and Sibling Dynamics on the Future
Get PDFThis paper explores the nature versus nurture debate and its relevance to sibling dynamics. This is followed by an exploration of the relationships between birth order and sibling dynamics on future education and possible obesity development
Shaping Young Minds: How Parental Reactions Influence Children’s Emotions and Behavior
No full textThe way parents respond to situations can really shape how children deal with stress, build relationships, and control their actions. This paper explores how different parenting styles like authoritative authoritarian permissive and neglecting affect emotional and behavioral development
Dietary Patterns and Their Effects on C-Reactive Protein Regarding Female Reproductive Disorders
Get PDFObjectives: Chronic inflammation, as indicated by elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), plays a critical role in women’s reproductive health disorders. CRP is one of the most common biomarkers of inflammation. Dietary components, lifestyle factors, and women’s reproductive health disorders are major components that influence the levels of CRP within the body. Other influential factors include injury, infection, and illness. The purpose of this review is to explore the findings of literature available on nutrition interventions for CRP levels in consideration of women\u27s reproductive disorders.
Methods: This narrative review examines the works of 15 articles, including 10 cross-sectional and five longitudinal designs. The selected studies include female-only or predominantly female adult populations worldwide.
Results: An anti-inflammatory diet is beneficial in reducing CRP levels due to high intake of fruits and vegetables, which are rich in antioxidants and fiber, and thus help mitigate inflammation. Other key components of an anti-inflammatory diet include fiber, unsaturated fats, and whole foods, while minimizing processed foods, added sugar, and unhealthy fats. The Mediterranean diet (MD), one of the most extensively studied anti-inflammatory diets, has been shown to effectively reduce CRP levels in women. Furthermore, several women’s reproductive disorders increase inflammation within the body.
Conclusions: Women’s reproductive disorders are associated with higher levels of CRP. Adhering to an anti-inflammatory diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in fiber and antioxidants, is beneficial in reducing levels of CRP and inflammation within the body. This may lower the prevalence of female reproductive disorders or decrease inflammatory components in affected individuals
A Visual Journey of Indigenous Health Doctoral Research Students - Photovoice Research
No full textWe conducted a qualitative photovoice research project in which students attending summer seminar in 2024 captured images during their week on campus, then submitted the images along with title and narrative. Two virtual focus groups were then held to present and discuss these images. Focus group discussions were transcribed, coded, and were validated through code confirmation and member checking. A crucial component of photovoice research is presentation of the images and associated narratives. This is a transformative research method, intended to generate community awareness about an important topic, and to empower participants through presentation of their experience. This photo book is the presentation of students’ experiences attending summer seminar in 2024. The experiences described by the Indigenous Health doctoral students who attended summer seminar closely align with the Sacred Symbol of the Medicine Wheel and the ceremony of Braiding Sweetgrass
Supplement to A Theoretical Investigation of the Selectivity of Aza-Crown-Ether Structures Chelating Alkali Metal Cations for Potential Biosensing Applications
Get PDFAza-crown ether structures have been proven effective in constructing fluorescent biosensors for selectively detecting and imaging alkali metal ions in biological environments. However, choosing the right aza-crown ether for a specific alkali metal ion remains challenging for synthetic chemists because theoretical guidance on the chelating activities between aza-crown ethers and alkali metal ions has not been available up to now. Predicting the physical properties of the chelator-metal complexations poses a greater challenge due to the numerous quantum mechanical functionals and basis sets to be used in any theoretical investigation. In this study, we report a theoretical investigation of different aza-crown ether structures and their bindings with different alkali metal ions, which will establish theoretical models to be used for synthesis design by portraying a novel relationship between the binding energies and charge transfer. Furthermore, the calculations can serve as a performance overview of the different types of functionals in Jacob’s ladder of chemical accuracy classification
