Soy-Grid Prototype Development for Erosion Control Situated in the Scholarly and Public Spheres
Get PDFErosion control is crucial for preserving coastlines and stream banks, protecting shoreline properties, and maintaining the ecological balance of vulnerable environments. Coastal areas are particularly susceptible to erosion caused by wave action, storms, and human activities. Erosion can lead to land loss, habitat destruction, and increased vulnerability to flooding. Effective erosion control measures help stabilize shorelines, prevent property damage, and safeguard coastal and inland infrastructure, while also preserving the natural beauty and recreational value of these areas
Child Routines Across Preschool and Associations With Socioemotional Adjustment
No full textAlthough a large body of research has documented the importance of routines for children’s development, the role of developmental timing of routines has received less attention. The present study examined how use of routines across the preschool period is linked to children’s socioemotional adjustment. We used Year 3 and Year 5 data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 2, 353; 48% female). Child routines were measured through maternal reports of routines, including household chores, play, mealtime, and bedtime. Latent profile analysis revealed four groups based on timing and number of routines: stable-high, increasing, decreasing, and stable-low. In Year 5, parents reported on children’s attentional, externalizing, and internalizing problems and social skills. Latent transition analysis indicated that most children (n = 1, 782; 75%) maintained the same profiles over time. Regression analyses showed that profiles were differentially related to outcomes. After controlling for a set of confounding variables, children in the stable-high group had significantly lower attentional, externalizing, and internalizing problems than the decrease routines group (βs range from.23 to.40, p \u3c .05). These findings contribute to the understanding of how routines are associated with child functioning and highlight the potential importance of the continued use of routines across early childhood. Children who had consistently high routines demonstrated better adjustment compared to those whose routines decreased across the preschool period
