Your recent editorial ‘Children, poverty and health promotion in Australia’ highlighted opportunities for Australia to promote the health of future generations by ensuring the needs of children and families are prioritised. Missing in the case studies, even when the case was a woman with four children under six and another in utero, was mention of the key preventive intervention to improve chil...

Background: The Covid-19 Pandemic has had a lot of impacts on society and students from various generations. Generations are a group of people who have the same age, traits, and experiences. Not all generations can overcome the impact caused by the pandemic on themselves, which is the cause of various problems in each generation starting from habits, behaviors, and stress. Generations Z and Y a...

This study reported the prevalence of smartphone addiction among Gen X and Y in Sarawak, Malaysia. compared two generations, Y, on addictive behaviour. It is important to understand their smartphones. Two hundred thirty-six participants were recruited using a Facebook advertisement, consisting 122 males 114 females aged 16 55. The scale-malay (SAS-M) was used assess addiction. data analysed IBM...

AIM The current study was the first of its kind taken upon indigenous ecotypes of the Karnataka in order to unravel the diversity details at 20 chicken microsatellite regions. MATERIALS AND METHODS 210 indigenous chicken belonging to six districts of Bangalore and Mysore division formed the target sample for the present study. The genomic deoxyribonucleic acid was isolated by phenol chlorofor...

in order to estimate heritability and gene action for grain yield and its related traits in lentil, six basic generations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field experiment. besides seed yield per plant, plant height, pod length, and 100-seed weight, the number of pods per plant, primary branches, clusters per plant, nodes per main stem, secondary...

Little is known of the capacity that marine metazoans have to evolve under rapid p CO 2 changes. Consequently, we reared a marine polychaete, Ophryotrocha labronica, previously cultured for approximately 33 generations under a low/variable pH regime, under elevated and low p CO 2 for six generations. The strain used was found to be tolerant to elevated p CO 2 conditions. In generations F1 and F...

The effects of colonization on host-seeking behavior of mosquitoes was examined by comparing attraction responses of newly colonized Aedes aegypti (L.) from field-collected eggs in Puerto Rico to that of the Gainesville (Florida) strain, originally from Orlando (Florida) and in colony since 1952. Females from the Orlando and the F0 through F10 generations of the Puerto Rico strain were evaluate...

To study the genetic architecture of anther exsertion, a trait under stabilizing selection in wild radish, artificial selection on anther exsertion was applied for 11 generations. Two replicate lines each of increased and decreased exsertion plus two randomly-mated controls were included. Full pedigree information is available from generation five. To estimate correlated responses to selection,...
