<p><h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>This study investigates the levels of social language and vocabulary characteristics of three- to six-year-old children with autism in Vietnam. The research is based on analysis of the developmental assessment reports of 151 children with autism, and 42 parents’ reports on their children’s vocabulary (recorded using the Child Word Inventory form). The findings show that about 85% of participants have a language level that is below average. The rate of accumulation of words and social language by children with autism is slower than that of typically developing children of the same age. It is also found that the participants’ number of production words is 2.4 times greater than their number of reception words. Nonetheless, their receptive words have little correlation with their overall development and social language development. This implies that parents and teachers of children with autism should make a point of assisting them in enlarging and comprehending their vocabulary, to enable them to use their language (words) for effective communication.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">The purpose of this project was to identify and cross-validate distinct profiles of emotion regulation difficulties. In Study 1 (<em class="a-plus-plus">N</em> = 438 U.S. college students), latent profile analysis identified three distinct profiles: Challenged, At-Risk, and Functional. Attachment anxiety and avoidance significantly differentiated the three profiles. Additionally, those in the Challenged profile reported the highest anxiety, depression, and distress and the lowest psychological wellness. In Study 2, profile similarity analyses cross-validated the three profiles to 227 European American and 155 Taiwanese college students. These results suggested the three profiles identified in Study 1 remained consistent across European American and Taiwanese cultures. Sociotropy (dependence) and autonomy (self-criticism) significantly differentiated the three profiles. Moreover, in both samples, those with the Functional profile reported the lowest anxiety/depression and highest self-esteem/life satisfaction. Compared to European Americans, Taiwanese reported less anxiety across all profiles, less depression in the Challenged profile, less self-esteem in the At-Risk and Functional profiles, and less life satisfaction in the At-Risk profile. The project’s findings suggest significant implications for clinicians, researchers, and educators. It underscores the necessity of incorporating emotion regulation topics to better support students and highlights the value of identifying specific patterns in college students’ emotion regulation challenges for customized treatment strategies.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Low sexual desire in women partnered with men has been the subject of controversy and research over the past decades, including both as construct and diagnosis. Despite discussion surrounding the causes of low desire, there is a gap in research about how women themselves understand the causes of their low desire and the potential consequences of these causal attributions. In the current study, we investigated this by asking 130 women who had low desire and were partnered with men about their attributions for low desire. Through content analysis, we identified five attribution categories: psychological/individual, relational, biological, sociocultural, and/or sexual orientation/identity/status. Many participants chose more than one category, indicating a multifaceted nature of women’s causes of low desire. We then quantitatively assessed women’s feelings of responsibility for, and emotions surrounding, their low desire. Our findings indicate that the majority—but not all—of women have negative feelings about their low desire. However, the specific emotions they experience are related to their attribution patterns. This underscores the significance of investigating various facets of women’s attributions regarding low desire in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their emotional experiences and desire overall.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Construal Level Theory (CLT) is a well-established, comprehensive framework that provides an account of the relationship between construal level and psychological distance, and the effects they have on cognitive processing and a wide range of phenomena. In this article we present a conceptualization of mindfulness based on the theoretical foundations of CLT. In light of mindfulness definitions and current research, it is difficult to determine whether mindfulness entails low psychological distance and concrete, non-conceptual representations of experience, or high psychological distance and abstract representations. We argue that mindfulness uniquely combines both. The two-dimensional model we present posits that mindfulness is characterized by a simultaneous decreased psychological distance from external sensory experiences and increased psychological distance from internal mental experiences. We highlight the uniqueness of this quality of mindfulness, and demonstrate how the formulation presented here not only aligns well with but also integrates research on mindfulness as a state of consciousness as well as a personality disposition. We further argue that this combination underlies the beneficial effects of mindfulness and delineate how it enables individuals to leverage the advantages and mitigate the drawbacks associated with both high and low levels of construal and psychological distance. The proposed two-dimensional model resolves contradictions in the literature, aiming to deepen our understanding of mindfulness, its benefits, and core mechanisms.</p>

Findings from a mixed-methods formative evaluation of the patient safety specialist role in the English National Health Service</a>

<p><p>Journal of Health Services Research &Policy, Ahead of Print. <br>Objectives: While safety-dedicated professional roles are common in other high-risk industries, in health care they have tended to have a relatively narrow, technical focus. We present initial findings from a mixed-methods evaluation of a novel, senior role with responsibility for leadership of safety in English National Health Service organisations: the patient safety specialist. Methods: We conducted interviews with those responsible for designing, developing and overseeing the introduction of the role. We also carried out a national survey of current patient safety specialists. Data collection and analysis focused on the rationale for the role, its theory of change, and experiences of putting the theory into practice. Results: Interview participants articulated a clear theory of change for the role, highlighting ways in which the focus of the role, the seniority, responsibility and influence of role holders, and the expertise they brought might result in better safety management and speedier implementation of initiatives to manage risk and improve safety. Survey respondents had mixed experiences of the role to date, particularly in terms of material and symbolic support from their organisations. Together, findings from the two datasets indicated the need for a careful balance between strategic and operational activities to secure impact for patient safety specialists while ensuring they were embedded in the realities of clinical work as done—a balance that not all role holders found easy to achieve. Conclusions: The vision for the patient safety specialist role is clear, and supported by a plausible account of how the work of role holders might result in the intended objectives. The degree to which specialists are supported and resourced to deliver on these ambitions, however, varies markedly across organisations.</p>

<p><p>Clinical Ethics, Ahead of Print. <br>In this issue of Clinical Ethics, Jonathan Pugh rejects hypothetical consent-based conceptions of the child’s right to bodily integrity (RBI). Pugh also questions the relevance of adults’ regret of past bodily infringements in evaluating potential violations of children’s RBI. Pugh then argues that autonomy serves as the justification for our power to waive our bodily rights. Finally, Pugh claims that the child’s interest in developing the capacity for autonomy is key to evaluating potential RBI violations. In this article, I challenge each of these arguments. First, I argue that it is the circumstances of parents vis-a-vis their children (rather than the difficulties in determining hypothetical agents’ values) that should lead us to reject hypothetical-consent-based conceptions of the child’s RBI in favor of best-interests conceptions. Second, I argue that adults’ regret of childhood bodily interventions is highly relevant for evaluating these interventions’ permissibility. Third, I reject the claim that autonomy is the primary justification for our power to waive our bodily rights. Finally, I argue that Pugh overstates the importance of the child’s interest in developing the capacity for autonomy, at least when it comes to debates in contemporary liberal democracies over interventions in children’s bodies.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Objectives</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Firefighters are at heightened risk for chronic occupational stress and exposure to potentially traumatic events. Experiencing potentially traumatic events is a risk factor for various psychiatric symptoms among firefighters, notably posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. This study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of yoga to reduce PTSD symptoms, negative affect, and trait anxiety in firefighters.</p>
<p> <br>
<span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec2"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Methods</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">A total of 108 trauma-exposed career firefighters (99% male; <em class="a-plus-plus">M</em><sub class="a-plus-plus">age</sub> = 34.55, SD = 8.37) were enrolled in a single-arm 8-week yoga intervention, termed Mind–Body Tactical Training (MBTT). Feasibility was assessed in five domains. Self-report measures were used to evaluate the MBTT intervention’s effectiveness in reducing symptoms of PTSD, negative affect, and trait anxiety. The Intervention Appropriateness Measure was employed to assess acceptability. Attrition, attendance, and intervention costs were used to determine demand, implementation, and practicality, respectively.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Results</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Total PTSD (<em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> < 0.001, <em class="a-plus-plus">d</em> = 0.426), negative affect (<em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> = 0.029, <em class="a-plus-plus">d</em> = 0.242), and trait anxiety (<em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> < 0.001, <em class="a-plus-plus">d</em> = 0.327) decreased from pre- to post-intervention. Improvements in trait anxiety were also observed from pre-intervention to follow-up (<em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> = 0.032). The intervention was generally acceptable to participants, had a 6.48% attrition rate, and had an 80.73 ± 18.96% class attendance. The cost of instructors and equipment totaled US$6636.78, equating to a cost per participant per attended class of US$4.76.</p>

<p><p>Adoption &Fostering, Ahead of Print. <br>This study investigates whether existing children in a fostering household differ from young people in non-caregiving households in the timing of their transitions to key adult roles, known to affect later health and life chances. Using data from the ONS Longitudinal Study, we pooled records from census years 1971–2001 and linked them to follow-up records from 1981–2011. We identified 2,656 children living with a foster child and compared their profiles on the ‘big five’ transitions to roles of adulthood – finishing school, leaving home, finding work and becoming financially independent, getting married and having children – with those of other children without a foster child in the household (N = 209,453). We fitted logistic and multinomial models that controlled for childhood socioeconomic and demographic confounders to estimate the proportion achieving the five roles in early adulthood. When compared to those without a foster child in the household, a modest but reliably higher proportion of caregivers’ children achieved the transition to adulthood. There was some evidence that caregivers’ children might cope better with the transition to adulthood if they were older than the foster child or were female. The findings suggest that supporting foster parents with delaying their children’s transition to adulthood could become part of the role of supervising social workers.Plain Language SummaryThis study investigated whether children of foster carers differ from young people in non-caregiving households in the timing of their transitions to key adult roles which are known to affect later health and life chances. We used data from the ONS Longitudinal Study, which contains information from censuses for the years 1971–2011 for a one percent sample of the general population of England and Wales. We identified 2,656 children living with a foster child and compared their profiles on the ‘big five’ transitions to the roles of adulthood – finishing school, leaving home, finding work and becoming financially independent, getting married and having children – with those of 209,453 other children without a foster child in their home. We took account of differences in children’s social, economic and demographic conditions in our statistical analyses. We found that a modest but reliably higher proportion of foster carers’ children achieved the transition to adulthood before the age of 30 than the other children who did not live with any foster children. There was some evidence that foster carers’ children might have later transition to adulthood if they were older than the foster child or if they were female. Since it is early transitions to adulthood that are linked to poorer health and life chances later in life, the findings suggest that supervising social workers’ role could include supporting foster parents with delaying their children’s transition to adulthood.</p>

<p><p>Adoption &Fostering, Ahead of Print. <br>Drawing on grounded theory research with parents who brought children into their lives in non-traditional ways, this article considers how three UK-based single adoptive parents navigate a complex set of risks, benefits and limitations as they construct mutually beneficial connections, friendships and support networks online. The discussion draws on media scholarship suggesting that, in response to contemporary norms of constant connection, digital availability and online context ‘collapse’, many internet users appropriate the affordances of online platforms and technologies to maintain personal boundaries and keep social groups apart. I argue that such tight context control can be particularly important for single adoptive parents, whose children are often vulnerable in multiple ways, who continue to face social stigma and misunderstanding, and for whom privacy can be vital to their families’ safety and wellbeing. The article pays particular attention to single adopters’ strategic deployment of three interconnected practices for managing and curating their networks and information sharing: compartmentalisation, selective sharing and disengagement. As well as pointing to similarities between participants’ practices, the article considers how the nuances of their individual circumstances shape and influence their ways of both connecting with, and disconnecting from, a range of individuals, groups and networks.Plain Language SummaryThis article presents results from a UK study looking at ways in which single, LGBTQ+ and adoptive parents use digital media in their everyday lives. It uses three case studies to explore the experiences of single adoptive mothers specifically, as a group who make up a significant proportion of adoptive parents in the UK, and whose families may be vulnerable in more ways than one. The case studies show how single adopters can use digital media to nurture targeted connections that are intimate and supportive, in part through disconnecting from those that are counter-productive or unhelpful. The article concludes with some key recommendations for practitioners who work with adoptive parents, particularly those with additional vulnerabilities such as single adopters, or adopters of disabled children. I suggest, on one hand, that practitioners can facilitate personalised, targeted support by signposting carers to appropriate digital sources, or supporting the creation of social media networks, for example via Facebook groups. On the other hand, the case studies highlight some disadvantages and difficulties associated with community-driven support through social media platforms. I therefore suggest that some caution is needed around the recommendations that are made, depending on individual families’ needs and circumstances.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">For many centuries, scholars and philosophers from wisdom traditions in different cultures have reported and discussed non-self states of consciousness. These states can be both short-term (state, transitory) and long-term (trait, lasting) conditions. However, in psychology, the importance of a healthy self is usually emphasized, and some theorists have dismissed the idea of “selfless” modes of functioning. This disagreement hinders further empirical progress in the study of self and the way it might be affected by meditation. This paper addresses this issue by providing an interdisciplinary conceptual discussion, grounded in the pattern theory of self (PTS). According to PTS, what we call “self” is a complex pattern of dynamically related constituent processes, which include embodied, experiential (prereflective), affective, psychological/cognitive, reflective, narrative, intersubjective, ecological, and normative processes. We propose that Buddhist and secular meditative practices induce a reorganization of the self-pattern, allowing individuals to experience a “selfless” state, both temporarily and persistently. We then put forward a heuristic model, the pattern theory of selflessness (PTSL), possibly experienced through meditation practices. The proposed PTSL model consists of six transformations that contribute to self-pattern reorganization in a nonlinear and iterative manner: consolidating and integrating the self-pattern; cultivating concentration and present-moment awareness; cultivating mindful awareness; self-deconstruction (non-self) states; self-flexibility; and self-liberation as a trait. This conceptual analysis and integrative view contributes to the growing field of consciousness and contemplative research by advancing the contemporary understanding of non-self experience and its relation to Buddhist and secular meditation. The proposed model serves as a basis for interdisciplinary efforts to guide empirical research in this area.</p>

<p><p>Qualitative Inquiry, Ahead of Print. <br>Writing is widely accepted as an appropriate tool for qualitative research, yet the question of how the entanglement of researchers’ politics and positionalities inform the use of this method has been understudied. In this article, we tackle that gap in the extant literature through an improvisational inquiry extending from a Black feminist’s written material. We begin by underscoring the generally purposeful nature of Black women’s writing. Then, we illuminate the connection between Black women’s purposeful practice of writing and the relational, community-building aims of Black feminist research. Broadly, we endeavor to right the wrongful erasure of Black women’s epistemologies by highlighting the concomitant affordances of writing as an instrument for Black feminist-oriented research and as an apparatus for cultivating intimacy with oneself and others (for instance, one’s loved ones) in the context of qualitative inquiry.</p>

<p><p>Qualitative Inquiry, Ahead of Print. <br>As a Black woman recovering engineer, I shine a light on the damaging effects of racial stereotypes in academia, notably on Black women scholars. The unchecked emphasis on relentless pursuit of traditional academic excellence often results in profound negative consequences. Drawing from personal experiences and illuminating case studies of high-achieving Black women who met tragic ends prematurely, I underscore the pervasive systemic educational disparities, with a specific lens on STEM fields. My work pushes for an overhaul of the system, aimed at creating nurturing spaces where marginalized communities can thrive with dignity and respect. We need to shift the burden of battling systemic racism endured by Black women scholars. It’s time we transition from an unhealthy emphasis on relentless individual resilience to a systemic reorientation that prioritizes fostering inclusive academic environments. An intentional recognition and confrontation of overlapping identities is the key to cultivating intersectionality and eradicating gendered racism in education. This vital transformation holds the promise of creating an academia that truly values and benefits from Black women academics.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Past research supports the detrimental effects of parental psychological control on adolescent school adjustment in both emotional and academic domains. However, how psychological control changes during adolescence, and how such developmental course is related to adolescent psychological well-being and academic functioning are unclear. The direction of effects between parenting and child behaviors is also inconclusive. This 3-year longitudinal study addressed these research gaps by using five waves of survey data on 710 Chinese adolescents of high school ages (Mean age at T1 = 15.54 years, SD = 0.45, 50% males). Using latent growth curve models and latent class growth analysis, the majority of adolescents (about 63%) reported gradual increases of parental psychological control in the first 2 years of high school but a slight decline afterwards, while the other 37% perceived low and stable levels. Results from parallel latent growth modeling suggested that trajectories of psychological control were positively related to developmental trends of internalizing problems (i.e., depression and anxiety) and maladaptive academic functioning, but negatively associated with the trajectory of adaptive academic functioning, as indexed by intercept-intercept and slope-slope associations. The random-intercept cross-lagged models further revealed that psychological control was predictive of adolescent anxiety and lower adaptive academic functioning, and bidirectionally associated with maladaptive academic-related beliefs and behaviors at the within-person level. Taken together, these findings highlight the crucial role of parental psychological control on adolescent school adjustment in the Chinese cultural context and support the reciprocal model of parent-child interactions.</p>

<p><p>Urban Affairs Review, Ahead of Print. <br>Issue accountability – the extent to which elected representatives are rewarded or punished by voters for their legislative actions in office – is fundamental to many conceptions of healthy democratic accountability. It is not clear, however, if this form of accountability is possible in non-partisan contexts, when constituents may have considerably more difficulty acquiring information about what their elected representatives have done. In this research note, we use data from council roll calls and a large public opinion survey to provide a case study of issue accountability in a large non-partisan city in Canada, assessing how citizens’ agreement with their elected representatives’ actions on seven high-profile policy issues is related to their satisfaction with their representatives’ performance. We find that most local residents are unaware of or incorrect about their councillors’ actions in office, even on issues that they consider important. However, we also find that issue alignment is very strongly related to performance satisfaction among citizens who do know how their councillors have acted in office. Our findings thus illustrate both the possibility of issue accountability in non-partisan municipal politics as well as its constraints.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">The nurturing of learners’ ways of knowing is vital for supporting their intellectual growth and their participation in democratic knowledge societies. This paper traces the development of two interrelated theoretical frameworks that describe the nature of learners’ epistemic thinking and performance and how education can support epistemic growth: the AIR and Apt-AIR frameworks. After briefly reviewing these frameworks, we discuss seven reflections on educational theory development that stem from our experiences working on the frameworks. First, we describe how our frameworks were motivated by the goal of addressing meaningful educational challenges. Subsequently, we explain why and how we infused philosophical insights into our frameworks, and we also discuss the steps we took to increase the coherence of the frameworks with ideas from other educational psychology theories. Next, we reflect on the important role of the design of instruction and learning environments in testing and elaborating the frameworks. Equally important, we describe how our frameworks have been supported by empirical evidence and have provided an organizing structure for understanding epistemic performance exhibited in studies across diverse contexts. Finally, we discuss how the development of the frameworks has been spurred by dialogue within the research community and by the need to address emerging and pressing real-world challenges. To conclude, we highlight several important directions for future research. A common thread running through our work is the commitment to creating robust and dynamic theoretical frameworks that support the growth of learners’ epistemic performance in diverse educational contexts.</p>

<p><p>Urban Affairs Review, Ahead of Print. <br>Along with socioeconomic resources, “strong ties” of family and friends increase political engagement. However, most daily interactions are casual encounters with “weak” social ties. How do these interactions shape political participation in urban environments? Interpersonal contact with weak ties may enable information sharing and increase voting participation. Using an original individual-level dataset that merges geocoded Census data, voter file data, and city permits for neighborhood “block parties” in Philadelphia, this study explores the ways one-off events that draw neighbors together influence turnout. The results show neighborhood block parties are positively associated with individual-level voting. These mobilizing effects are particularly visible in African American neighborhoods. Taking advantage of the fact that some blocks request permits some years and not others, the data allow for time-variant tests, linking changes in the strength of neighborhood-based “weak ties” with increased turnout. This research suggests that casual interactions among neighborhood weak ties shape political engagement.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">The complexity of modern societies necessitates that children learn highly abstract material, such as mathematics, which often conflicts with behavioral goals that are innately motivating. For instance, children’s educational success is generally evaluated based on their individual achievements, while humans are motivated to learn by engaging in socially relevant behaviors. Additionally, science-related content typically requires higher-level abstract thinking to comprehend related concepts and perform the underlying cognitive processes, whereas humans evolved primarily to monitor and manipulate the physical environment by moving within it to execute foraging and hunting behaviors. Moreover, school systems inherently prescribe top-down strategies in which teachers transfer knowledge by providing instructions to guide students’ knowledge acquisition. By contrast, humans evolved to learn through bottom-up processes motivated by the learner’s internal drive to explore their physical and social environment. As a consequence, skeletal cognitive competencies that evolved throughout human history create a mismatch between why children are motivated to learn and how they are expected to learn. This review adopts an evolutionary perspective to examine how the interplay between students’ internal physiological and psychological adaptations and external instructional methods of modern educational systems impacts motivation and learning. Ultimately, the review offers suggestions on how to motivate the learning process by integrating self-determination theory principles into a dynamical systems framework.</p>

<p><p>Urban Affairs Review, Ahead of Print. <br>Refugee integration in small localities poses complex challenges that must be faced through “horizontal” cooperation between local governments, nonpublic and private actors. This article investigates how frequent and how collaborative/conflictual these horizontal governance relations are and whether, and how, they are influenced by political party control of local executives and the local strength of radical right parties (RRPs). Methodologically, we combine quantitative analysis—using a unique dataset of governance interactions across 36 localities, derived from a survey filled in by 185 representatives of nonpublic actors involved in refugee integration governance—and qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted with the same interviewees and 68 local policymakers. We show that horizontal governance relations on refugee integration are largely collaborative, but their frequency and quality vary depending on interplays between the type of nonpublic actor involved, local executives’ political affiliation and RRPs’ strength within the municipal legislative body.</p>

<p><h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Capturing costs associated with prevention activities related to substance use disorders (SUD) and mental health (MH) is critical. In this study, Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®), an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention, is conceptualized as a preventive intervention to reduce substance and opioid use among youth involved with the legal system. When implemented alongside community reentry, TBRI leverages family systems as youth transition from secure residential care into communities through emotional guidance and role modeling. Activity-based cost (ABC) analysis was used to guide cost data collection and analysis for both start-up and implementation of the TBRI intervention. Start-up costs were estimated using data across eight sites during their start-up phase. All components, activities, personnel involved, and time associated with implementation of TBRI sessions according to protocol were defined. National wages were extracted from O*NET and utilized to calculate total costs for each TBRI component. Total and average TBRI intervention costs were calculated with a breakdown by TBRI sessions and number of staff and participants. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to estimate TBRI implementation costs with travel. The total cost for the TBRI intervention, representing 42 sessions, ranges from $6,927, without travel expenses or $12,298, with travel expenses. The average per family cost ranges from $1,385 (without travel) to $2,460 (with travel). Costs are primarily generated by time investments from primary interventionists. The sensitivity analysis shows costs for responsive coaching would double with travel costs included. Results aim to show that using ABC for prevention activities, like TBRI, to understand cost drivers can facilitate future intervention sustainability.</p>

<p class="a-plus-plus">This study aimed to determine the impact of school closures on visual acuity and screen time among students in Qatar. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted, targeting governmental school students. Data were collected via telephone interviews with parents, and visual acuity measurements were extracted from the electronic health records. We interviewed 1546 parents of selected students, about 24% reported their children’s history of visual disturbances, primarily refractive errors. The mean screen time across the week increased significantly by 11.5 ± 11.6 h during school closures. We observed a significant decline of visual acuity during the closure compared to the pre-closure period across the entire sample, both sexes, and the younger age group. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis showed that local students and those with a history of visual disturbances were 1.7 times (AOR: 1.73, 95%CI 1.18–2.54, <em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> = 0.005) and 2.5 times (AOR: 2.52, 95%CI 1.69–3.76, <em class="a-plus-plus">p</em> < 0.001) more likely to experience decline of visual acuity respectively. School closures in Qatar were associated with a significant increase in screen time among students and a notable decline in their visual acuity. This deterioration highlights the need to monitor children’s screen time and implement cost-effective measures to reduce screen exposure and enhance overall eye health among students.</p>

This article aims to study the emergence and construction of Indian asexual discourse by examining the lived experiences and narratives of Indian asexual individuals. A mixed-methods qualitative approach is employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews conducted through snowball sampling, along with an analysis of online Indian asexual platforms. Additional data were gathered from digital asexual archives, dating sites, and social media platforms that actively engage in discussions about Indian asexual experiences, desires, and intimacy. Emerging Indian asexualities are constituting a novel ethos in Indian sexual practices by creating an alternative language of desire and intimacy.</p>

<p> <span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec1"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Background</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Health literacy is essential for individuals to access, understand, and utilize information and services to inform health related decisions and actions. As one of the most diagnosed and preventable forms of cancer, skin cancer disease risk can be reduced through preventative behavior. Currently, there is no focused study looking specifically at health literacy and skin cancer. An understanding of how health literacy affects skin cancer-related preventive behaviors can improve current practices in skin cancer prevention.</p>
<p> <br>
<span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec2"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Objective</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">To systematically identify, synthesize, and summarize findings on the role of health literacy in skin cancers (including cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma), with a focus on preventive behaviors using studies that utilized quantifiable health literacy measurements.</p>
<p> <br>
<span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec3"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Methods</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">A literature search was performed by searching PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from inception until September 26, 2023 to identify cross-sectional, case–control, cohort, or randomized controlled studies that investigated the association between health literacy and skin cancer prevention and diagnosis.</p>
<p> <br>
<span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec4"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Results</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Health literacy levels varied across geographic regions, specific populations, and ethnicities. Most of the included studies found a positive association between higher health literacy and better skin cancer preventative behaviors. This included sun-protective behaviors such as: wearing sleeved shirts or shirts with collars, using gloves, covering head and face, limiting sun exposure, more sunscreen use, and less sunbathing or indoor tanning. Higher health literacy was associated with increased likelihood to engage in genetic testing and less family influence on health in one study which assessed determinants of interest in skin cancer genetic testing. Another study investigating family communication about skin cancer found that higher health literacy was associated with increased family communication regarding general cancer risk. One sun protection interventional education program was effective at increasing participants’ knowledge, awareness of skin cancer risk, willingness to change sun protection, and use of sun protection, but results varied between ethnic groups.</p>
<p> <br>
<span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec5"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Conclusions</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Skin cancer-related educational interventions can be effective in improving health literacy and potentially lessen the impact of skin cancer through positive behavior modification, early detection, and disease knowledge and awareness. Interventions need to be tailored to its target population to maximize effectiveness due to the varying baseline of health literacy identified across different geographic and ethnic groups.</p>

<p><p>Sexualities, Ahead of Print. <br>Queer, polyamorous folk are redefining kinship in the US but BIPOC’s perspectives are absent. Due to metaphorical captivity, exclusion from traditional kinship, and intersectional oppression, queer African Americans’ polyamory entails liberation. A queer of color critique framework was applied to analyze social media content of polyamorous, Black American, queer, femme and non-binary interlocuters. We (a) provide historical, sociopolitical context, (b) center interlocuters’ experiential knowledge of polyamory spaces, and (c) describe their strategies for navigating themselves, relationships, and communities. Their strategies provide a survival guide for oppression and path towards liberation.</p>

Queer lives and subjectivities in dementia care</a>

<p><p>Sexualities, Ahead of Print. <br>This article explores possibilities for the emergence of queer lives and queer subjectivities in dementia care, the meaning of being queer for people living in residential dementia care and how they relate to queer subjectivity. Our study, drawing on qualitative interviews with four people living in dementia care homes, show how being queer was associated with earlier phases of one’s life course and youthful, sexually active bodies. The dementia care home was described as a depersonalized, desexualized and segregated spatial condition where queer subjectivities could not emerge. However, although participants rarely became recognizable and intelligible as queer in the care context their positionalities must be understood in more complex terms than visible/invisible. Instead people in dementia care sometimes engaged in queer opacity as a tactic to refuse visibility in a care context characterized by surveillance and lack of control and agency.</p>
