The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between young children's sleep and maternal sleep from both a developmental and a cross-cultural perspective. Mothers of 10,085 young children completed the Brief Infant/Child Sleep Questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Overall, there were significant relationships between maternal and child sleep for bedtime, waketime, number...

In this work, we are interested in capacities which are deformations of probability i.e v = f ◦ P . We characterize balanced, totally balanced, exact and convex capacities, by properties concerning the probability transformation function, f . We also give the explicit expression, in the case of a convex capacity v = f ◦ P , of a probability in the core of v which coincides with v on a given fin...

One of the recurring topics in retailing is the power shift in the supply channel toward the retailers. Several studies focus on the reasons for the power shift rather than highlighting the consequences for the retailer-manufacturer relationship. Despite a considerable amount of literature about gender, the intersection of power and gender is seldom challenged. In this paper, we combine both re...

This parameter reviews the current status of reactive attachment disorder with regard to assessment and treatment. Attachment is a central component of social and emotional development in early childhood, and disordered attachment is defined by specific patterns of abnormal social behavior in the context of "pathogenic care." Clinically relevant subtypes include an emotionally withdrawn/inhibit...

Informed by the reserve capacity model, we examined pathways between socioeconomic status (SES) and internalizing symptoms (IS) in 1119 Chilean 10-year-olds. Mediators included parental disciplinary style and reserve capacity resources (RCR), namely home environment, parent-child engagement, and self-esteem, and conduct problems. Using structural equation modeling, the model was stratified by g...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to empirically assess psychometric properties of a multi-dimensional youth self-report measure of neglectful behavior by parents. METHOD Data were gathered from 593 12-year-old youth participating in the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN) consortium; 272 also had data at age 14. Youth responded to a 25-item measure of their experiences of neg...

We present clinical and cytogenetic data on a 7-year-old female child with partial trisomy for 9p22→9pter as a result of a maternal balanced reciprocal translocation. Her karyotype was ascertained as 46,XX,dec(4)t(4;9)(q35; p22)mat. The father had a normal karyotype, while the mother had an apparently balanced translocation involving chromosomes 4 and 9 [46,XX,t(4;9)(q35;p22)]. This case will b...

This paper presents an improved Artificial Immune System (AIS) approach for unsupervised classification in multispectral remote-sensing imagery. For benchmarking, one has considered several unsupervised nature-inspired intelligent classifiers (AIS, neural, fuzzy) versus statistical ones. We have comparatively evaluated the following pattern recognition techniques: the proposed AIS model; Self-O...
