Blood Glucose Levels and Diabetes Family Conflict in Black Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic escalated family stress and prompted interruptions of regular healthcare visits. Such pandemic-related disruptions may be particularly deleterious among Black youth with chronic health conditions, such as type 1 diabetes. The present study leveraged longitudinal data from a multi-center randomized clinical trial (Clinicaltrials.gov [NCT03168867]) and a follow-up ancillary study focused on effects of COVID-…
Profile of informal rural Appalachian caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses
PURPOSE: Caring for a family member with chronic illness increases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by 82%, and rurality imparts additional CVD disparities. The purpose of this study was to describe a profile of rural caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses to determine the prevalence of CVD risk factors, and psychosocial and socioeconomic burden, as well as to compare these variables across gender. METHODS: Baseline data from a trial of C…
Queer Theory
This year’s review of queer theory focuses on recent scholarship about transgender youth. Most of the scholarship reviewed in this chapter defines transgender expansively to include any identifications and/or expressions of gender that trouble dyadic sex-gender ideologies. Additionally, the scholarship reviewed in this chapter evinces a collapse of scholarship and activism by investing in scholarship as activism. Although queer theory is not ofte…
Queer Theory
This chapter identifies queer theory published in 2018 that engages various aspects of resistance. The review is divided into five sections: 1. Introduction; 2. Models of Resistance, 3. Movement Work and Resistance; 4. The Art of Resistance; 5. Concluding Notes: Critical Optimism.

From ‘ah’ to ‘bah’
Social feedback is a driving force for speech development. A recent study provided a key finding to explain how contingent responses influence developmental change: infant speech-related vocalizations are contingent on responses to prior speech-related vocalizations (Warlaumont et al. , 2014). However, the study did not distinguish between different speech-related vocalizations, vowel-like (V) and consonant–vowel (CV) vocalizations, which is impo…

Principles for educational game development for young children
The use of media devices such as tablets is increasing with 41% of children engaged in more than two hours of screen time per day. The number of educational games has also significantly increased but little has been to done to assess the effectiveness and validity. Given the increase in access and use of devices, and increased popularity of educational games, a set of principles is needed. We present guiding principles that are useful for the des…
Toys that squeak
Given the dependent nature of parent–infant interactions necessary for language development, it is important to understand how context may influence these interactions. This study examines how contextual variables influence communicative, cognitive and social measures of parent–infant interactions. Specifically, how do feedback toys and traditional toys associate with important parent and child measures necessary for learning and development? Her…
Looking beyond swiping and tapping
We conducted a systematic, in-depth literature review to examine the research around digital technology and media technologies for young children. We were particularly interested in understanding the range of research designs and specifics about elements of the method employed for researching digital technologies with young children (i.e., birth to 5 years). We focused precisely on this age group because it overlaps with the early childhood educa…
The Effect of Social Responsiveness on Infants' Object‐Directed Imitation
Previous research has demonstrated that social interactions underlie the development of object‐directed imitation. For example, infants differentially learn object action sequences from a live social partner compared to a social partner over a video monitor; however, what is not well understood is what aspects of social interactions influence social learning. Previous studies have found variable influences of different types of caregiver responsi…
The power of international criminal courts
International criminal courts are often given mandates without the authority or resources to enforce those directives. Given this, how do they achieve their objectives? We argue that in the case of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the court strategically developed an accountability network comprised of governmental and nongovernmental actors, using its expertise and position to provide information and a framew…
Norms, Behavioral Compliance, and Status Attribution in International Politics
Extant work on status attribution has largely focused on major powers or state capabilities as key explanatory factors driving these social processes and suggests that status considerations increase conflicts between states. We argue for a more comprehensive approach to status attribution that considers international norms as another major factor that is weighed in the attribution process. We contend that states (policymakers) evaluate one anothe…
Prelinguistic infants’ communicative system
Infants’ prelinguistic vocalizations and gestures are rarely studied as a communicative system. As a result, there are few studies examining mechanisms of change concurrently in prelinguistic vocal and gesture behavior. Here we report the first evidence that contingent caregiver social feedback to infant gestures influences not only gesture production, but also prelinguistic vocal behavior. Study 1 demonstrates the relationship between gesture an…
