What Makes Parents of Young Children Stressed? A Systematic Review of Quantitative Studies
The arrival of a baby and the early years of a child’s life represent a critical period for parents, often marked by increased parental stress that can impact both their well-being and the child’s development. Although parental stress has been widely studied, no systematic review has yet focused specifically on early childhood. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review synthesizing evidence on factors examined as antecedents of parent…
Placing Social and Emotional Support at the Center of School Climate: A Scoping Review of Measures for Middle and Secondary Schools
School climate can be defined as the perceptions of students, teachers/staff, and families, and the patterns of experiences that guide their daily life at school. There are a multitude of largely consensual theoretical approaches that seek to define school climate, but similar constructs are often operationalized and measured with different designations. Additionally, there has been an increase in research, practice, and public policy on the soci…
Impact of Covid-19 on primary care consultation mode in England: An interrupted time series analysis
Women’s mobilization and antifeminist discursive framings in Portugal’s far right
Antifeminist and antigender rhetoric and campaigns have grown over the last decade, especially, but not exclusively, voiced by ultraconservative and far-right parties, movements and actors, and have prompted political and societal repercussions, with an increasingly visible participation of women in these attacks on feminism. These mobilizations are frequently articulated also through racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and transphobic discourses, in…

Self‐regulation in moderate‐to‐late preterm children: A scoping review
Compared with the more physically fragile extremely/very preterm children (E/VPT), moderate‐to‐late preterm (MLPT) children—the large majority of preterm births—are underrepresented in research. This gap persists despite evidence that MLPT children exhibit more difficulties than full‐term peers in certain domains. This scoping review surveys the literature on psychological forms of self‐regulation in MLPT children, organized around three levels: …

Drummophone: A Fusion Between Sound Art, Installation, and the Urban Soundscape
Problem Posing and Problem Solving in Primary School: Opportunities for the Development of Different Literacies
Problem posing and problem solving, involving significant situations for students, encourage effective learning, mathematical reasoning, communication, and connections in/with mathematics, enhancing the emergence of different literacies. Although problem solving is more frequently present in teaching practices, the ability to formulate them must also be developed, since it requires other skills, such as writing a problem statement, establishing c…
Variation in attendance at emergency departments in England across local areas: A system under unequal pressure
BACKGROUND: Crowding in Accident and Emergency Departments (AEDs) and long waiting times are critical issues contributing to adverse patient outcomes and system inefficiencies. These challenges are exacerbated by varying levels of AED attendance across different local areas, which may reflect underlying disparities in primary care provision and population characteristics. METHOD: We used regression analysis to determine how much variation across …
The long-run effect of Covid-19 on hospital emergency department attendances: Evidence from statistical analysis of hospital data from England
Emergency department attendances fell around the world during COVID-19. • We analyse national data on subgroups of Accident and Emergency attendances. • Attendances differentiated by acuity, age and diagnosis groups showed similar declines. • Lockdowns, public messaging, and changes in health care provision are possible causes. • These policies may have led to unmet need in emergency care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospital emergency departme…
Hospital closure in urban and rural areas and patients’ welfare
The hospital sector is frequently subject to reconfigurations, with some departments closing and new ones opening. Using a conditional logit model based on observed patient choices, we quantify the effects of a hospital department closure on the welfare of elective hip replacement patients in England. We simulate eight separate closures of the provider with lowest quality, as measured by one of four quality measures: revisions, emergency readmiss…
Who Benefits Most from the Family Education and Support Program in Cape Verde? A Cluster Analysis
Overall, the FAF intervention contributed to an increase in positive parenting practices. By analyzing potential underlying profiles in the change process, this study suggests that there are participants who benefit more than others from the intervention, and this information may be relevant for professionals and researchers in the field
Parental Involvement and Stress in Children’s Quality of Life: A Longitudinal Study with Portuguese Parents during the Covid-19 Pandemic Period
Parental involvement (PI) has particular relevance on children's academic adjustment and on children's general quality of life (QoL). QoL can be influenced by parental stress, specifically the stress suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the differences during the pandemic period (before, after and with no lockdown), comparing these constructs with parental educational level to provide predictors of their childr…
The Dark Side of Multimedia Devices: Negative Consequences for Socioemotional Development in Early Childhood
There is growing concern about the relationship between screen use by young children and negative effects on their development, as children with developmental and socioemotional impairments tend to have difficulties in their relationships and increased academic problems. The aim of our study was to analyse the relationship between the use of multimedia devices and paediatric symptoms in children below 5 years old. Data from 534 Portuguese parents…

The populist far-right and the intersection of antiimmigration and antifeminist agendas: The Portuguese case
This article aims to discuss the intersections of the anti-feminist and anti-immigration agendas in the Portuguese far-right through critical discourse analysis of the PNR and Chega’s positions. These political actors convey nationalist, racist and anti-multiculturalist messages at the same time that they show their hostility towards gender equality policies, using racial, cisgender and heteronormative categories as criteria to define whose citiz…
De-securitising ‘the South in the North’? Gendered Narratives on the Refugee Flows in the European Mediascape
This article focuses on media representations of ‘the South in the North’ crosscutting the European mediascape in 2015 and the beginning of 2016. Assuming that both identities and perceptions of in/security are socially constructed, particularly by means of discourse, that security is gendered and gender constructions are in turn built on dynamics of in/security, and that gendered power relations and representations are always entangled with othe…

Does Quality Affect Patients’ Choice of Doctor? Evidence from England
Reforms giving users of public services choice of provider aim to improve quality. But such reforms will work only if quality affects choice of provider. We test this crucial prerequisite in the English health care market by examining the choice of 3.4 million individuals of family doctor. Family doctor practices provide primary care and control access to non-emergency hospital care, the quality of their clinical care is measured and published an…

Invisibilidades da guerra e da paz: Violências contra as mulheres na Guiné-Bissau, em Moçambique e em Angola
O facto de serem homens os que mais matam e morrem em tempo de guerra declarada tem determinado a invisibilidade e negligência de outros actores envolvidos nestes contextos. As mulheres, em concreto, têm sido o ausente social por excelência nas análises sobre conflitos armados e nas políticas de reconstrução pós-conflito Através de uma abordagem que privilegia a análise de continuuns de violência(s) para além de cenários considerados como guerra …
Effect of the interaction between high altitude and socioeconomic factors on birth weight in a large sample from South America
Several studies of South American populations showed that altitude is associated with low birth weight and intrauterine growth retardation. Although some of them analyzed the altitude‐birth weight association, only a few assessed the effect of the interaction between altitude and socioeconomic factors on birth weight. The purpose of this research is to evaluate such effects on birth weight, after adjustment for confounding factors. This observati…
