Participation in extracurricular leisure activities among primary school pupils: Effects of ethnic-cultural background, gender and school diversity
Participation in sports and other leisure activities can be an effective tool to enhance feelings of societal belongingness and inclusion among minority group members. Through a survey administered to 8,444 pupils, the present study compared minority pupils' (Middle Eastern and Eastern European youth) and majority pupils' involvement in a broad array of sport activities, other (non-sports) extracurricular leisure activities, and youth organizatio…
Modelling of South African Hypertension: Application of Panel Quantile Regression
Hypertension is one of the crucial risk factors for morbidity and mortality around the world, and South Africa has a significant unmet need for hypertension care. This study aims to establish the potential risk factors of hypertension amongst adults in South Africa attributable to high systolic and diastolic blood pressure over time by fitting panel quantile regression models. Data obtained from the South African National Income Dynamics Study (N…
Modelling of South African Hypertension: Comparative Analysis of the Classical and Bayesian Quantile Regression Approaches
Hypertension has become a major public health challenge and a crucial area of research due to its high prevalence across the world including the sub-Saharan Africa. No previous study in South Africa has investigated the impact of blood pressure risk factors on different specific conditional quantile functions of systolic and diastolic blood pressure using Bayesian quantile regression. Therefore, this study presents a comparative analysis of the c…
No evidence for an association between facial fluctuating asymmetry and vocal attractiveness in men or women
An evaluation of classical morphologic and morphometric parameters reported to distinguish wolves and dogs
A new look at an old dog: Bonn-Oberkassel reconsidered
Fluctuating Asymmetry
Lack of Correlation Between Fluctuating Asymmetry and Morphological Masculinity/Femininity in Primate Skulls
Associations among facial masculinity, physical strength, fluctuating asymmetry and attractiveness in young men and women
Further research into the differences between males and females in associations between facial morphology, attractiveness and physical strength is clearly needed. The use of a multivariate approach can increase our understanding of which regions of the face harbour specific information of hormone levels and perhaps behavioural traits
Fluctuating Asymmetry and Masculinity/Femininity in Humans: A Meta-Analysis
Associations between asymmetry and human attractiveness: Possible direct effects of asymmetry and signatures of publication bias
BACKGROUND: Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), reflecting developmental instability (DI), may honestly signal individual quality and relate to human attractiveness and measures of sexual behaviour. The evolutionary importance of these associations, however, critically depends on the role of DI in driving these correlations. A direct effect of FA reduces the role of DI. AIM: To explore the direct effects of FA in determining human attractiveness, compari…
Sexual Dimorphism in the Prenatal Digit Ratio (2D: (4D)
The second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is smaller in human males than in females and hence this trait is sexually dimorphic. The digit ratio is thought to be established during early prenatal development under the influence of prenatal sex hormones. However, the general assumption of early establishment has hardly been studied. In our study, we analyzed the 2D:4D ratio in 327 deceased human fetuses. We measured digit lengths in 169 male and 158…
A critical re-evaluation of the association between 2D: 4D ratios and fluctuating asymmetry in humans
Using asymmetry in digits 2 and/or 4 causes bias. Excluding such results, there is currently little evidence of any association between asymmetry and digit ratios. Future studies should carefully select traits to investigate these correlations further
