That's the routine”: A qualitative exploration of mealtime screen use in lower educated Australian families with young children
A thematic cluster analysis of parents' online discussions about fussy eating
Food fussiness is associated with non-responsive parent feeding practices, such as persuasive and instrumental feeding. Although most children described as 'fussy eaters' are likely exhibiting developmentally typical behaviours, up to half of the parents of children 2-5 years old express concerns. Concern for fussy eating may mediate the use of non-responsive feeding practices and so must be addressed in parent feeding interventions. Therefore, i…
The influence of household structure and composition on the introduction of solid, semisolid and soft foods among children aged 6–8 months: An analysis based on Ethiopia Demographic and Health Surveys
The early and late introduction of complementary food, both prevalent in Ethiopia, are associated with morbidities, growth faltering and developmental risks in children. The interhousehold network around the primary caregiver's intrahousehold network is critical in influencing the age of introducing complementary foods.

Toward a Truer Mimesis: Stifter's Turmalin
If plot summaries offer any clues for predicting a narrative's success or failure with a reading public, then the critical response to Turmalin, Stifter's revision of his story Der Pf6rtner im Herrenhause of 1852, is readily explained. Not only the apparent triviality of its action, which the above synopsis accurately enough conveys, but also the underlying incoherence of its plot, which the summary only begins to suggest, have ensured the tale a…
Dreams of Interpretation: On the Sources of Kafka's "Landarzt"
Conspicuous among the many critical responses to Kafka's tale Ein over the years have been those seeking to evaluate it according to Freudian principles of dream interpretationeither in an abstract and generalized sense or, more biographically, from the standpoint of Kafka's direct debt to Freud and the latter's seminal tract Die Traumdeutung of 1900. Certainly Ein Landarzt, with its dense and strikingly dreamlike structure, would appear almost t…
Errors and violations on the roads: A real distinction?
