Although parental leave has long formed part of traditional labor relations, it was not until the nineteen seventies that it began to be regarded in some Scandinavian countries as a way ofi balancing work and family life as well as of enhancing gender equality (Duvander, Lappegard, and Andersson 2010; Escobedo, Flaquer, and Navarro, 2012; Lappegard, 2008), That egalitarian aspiration was consol...

Parental scaffolding is an important mechanism utilized by infants during their development. Infants, for example, pay stronger attention to the features of objects highlighted by parents and learn the way of manipulating an object while being supported by parents. Parents are known to make modifications in infant-directed actions, i.e. use “motionese”. Motionese is characterized by higher rang...

This study investigates gender differences in adolescent drug use in terms of parental monitoring and peer deviance. Females are found to be more highly monitored than males, whereas males are more exposed to deviant peers than are females. There is a significant interaction between parental monitoring and peer deviance for the sample as a whole. The effect of this interaction is greater among ...

introduction:   sometimes physicians need to assess some markers on selected children's cerebrospinal fluid specimen according to lumbar puncture (lp). although immediate diagnosis and treatment especially for meningitis is necessary, but just at this moment, due to some incorrect believe in society, some parents may not allow physician to do lp. the reality is that most of these people, i...

Research suggests that families have development histories which influence their responses to situations across the life course. The present study examined the effects of family relationship histories on intergenerational affection and conflict between adult children and their parents and how this affects parents' depressive symptoms. Path analysis based on matched reports of adult children and...

Abstract Triassic limestone areas of Thuringia are well-known for their richness hybrids between S. aria and torminalis (subgenus Tormaria ). Those have been originally described as endemic taxa (i.e. Sorbus heilingensis, isenacensis However, the former endemics recently synonymized with S . × decipiens ( Karpatiosorbus hybrida (Bechst.) Sennikov & Kurtto) due to diploidy putative sexuality...

By most accounts, an important prerequisite for a well-functioning democracy is engaged citizens. A very prominent explanation of variation in political engagement suggests that parental transmission through socialization accounts individual-level differences engagement. In this paper, we show, using large Danish twin survey ( N = 2,071), classic formulations theory can be supplemented by findi...

A new statistical approach for construction of the genetic linkage map and estimation of the parental linkage phase based on allele frequency data from pooled gametic (sperm or egg) samples is introduced. This method can be applied for estimation of recombination fractions (over distances <1 cM) and ordering of large numbers (even hundreds) of closely linked markers. This method should be extre...

PREMISE Persistence of tree populations in the face global change relies on their capacity to respond biotic and abiotic stressors through plastic or adaptive changes. Genetic adaptation will depend additive genetic variation within heritability traits related stress tolerance. Because can be genetically linked, selective pressure acting one trait may lead correlated responses other traits. MET...
