In addition to the family context, persons in the neighborhood and community are important for individual life course, socioeconomic and demographic outcomes such as education, career and family transitions. This paper aims to study how neighborhood conditions in childhood influence fertility outcomes in adulthood. Theories focusing on motivation, aspirations and attitudes or peer influence generaIn addition to the family context, persons in the neighborhood and community are important for individual life course, socioeconomic and demographic outcomes such as education, career and family transitions.

A graphics processing system that is operable to perform ray tracing using micromaps is disclosed. A tree representation of a micromap is generated, and when it is desired to determine whether and/or how a ray interacts with a sub-region of a primitive, the tree representation of the micromap is traversed to determine a property value for the sub-region of the primitive.

This qualitative study analyses exaggeration in natural conversation from a dialogic perspective using data from the London–Lund Corpus 2 (LLC–2). We define exaggeration as an extreme degree on a scale, e.g., my bag weighs a ton. degree is central to our definition of exaggeration, which involves scaling a gradable property up, or down, to a level that comes across as counterfactual or inappropria

Determining the drivers of intraspecific variation in cognitive performance is crucial for understanding how cognition evolves, but experimental studies are scarce. Several correlational studies have supported the hypothesis that living in larger groups enhances cognitive performance. However, empirical explanations of whether and how living in large groups causally affects individual cognitive pe

Background: Early electrocardiograph predates electronic amplification and therefore required innovative and highly sensitive instrumentation. Willem Einthoven's introduction of the string galvanometer in 1903 enabled recording of clinically useful electrocardiograms and established electrocardiography as a diagnostic method. Objectives: To describe the provenance and technical features of a uniqu

Accurately predicting head motion is essential for reducing motion-to-photon (MTP) latency in XR systems. However, standard evaluation practices often conflate true prediction error with residual calibration artifacts-such as global rotation bias, lever-arm offsets, or sub-frame time skews-even after alignment. These small but realistic miscalibrations can dominate reported errors and obscure the

Conversational agents are increasingly being introduced in healthcare to enhance access to healthcare and address limited healthcare resources. The aim of this study was to explore experiences of a conversational agent for symptom checking and triage tool assessing the urgency and appropriate level of care implemented in public healthcare from a cognitive accessibility perspective. With a Particip

c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are implicated in both neurodegeneration and mood regulation, including anxiety and depressive-like behaviours. Yet the consequences of JNK inhibition in vivo on protein phosphorylation in the brain remain largely unknown. This study aimed to (1) determine how chronic JNK inhibition altered proteome-wide phosphorylation in hippocampus and nucleus accumbens, regions
