Validation of a Measurement Model to Identify Socio-emotional Difficulties in Preschool Children: The Preschool Pediatric Symptom Checklist—Chilean Version

Here we investigate the associations between NSSs and multiple domains of cognitive performance in a large, population-based cohort and evaluate sex differences in these associations.

This article examines the juxtaposition of shrine devotions at botánicas in Washington, DC. It argues that these shops, which sell religious and ritual paraphernalia primarily to Latino populations, create a creole religious space where diverse practices and beliefs intersect. The study focuses on how customers navigate and negotiate these juxtapositions, creating personalized meanings and practices that reflect their own hybrid religious identit…
