Measuring social determinants influencing Australian university students’ completion
Introduction This study compares the 5-factor and 4-factor models of the Higher Education Success Factor (HESF) framework. Through this research, we aimed to identify the social determinants influencing Australian university students’ completion rates. We analysed responses from 2,248 participants. The social determinants we examined included the social environment, physical environment, economic conditions, health and wellbeing, and individual c…
Does working memory training in children need to be adaptive? A randomized controlled trial
Most cognitive training programs are adaptive, despite limited direct evidence that this maximizes children's outcomes. This randomized controlled trial evaluated working memory training with difficulty of activities presented using adaptive, self-select, or stepwise compared with an active control. At baseline, immediately, and 6-months post-intervention, 201 Australian primary school children (101 males, 7–11 years) completed working memory tes…
A heterogeneity analysis of health-related quality of life in early adults born very preterm or very low birthweight across the sociodemographic spectrum
Preterm birth and very low birthweight (VP/VLBW) are associated with poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes extending into adulthood, yet it remains unclear how these effects differ across sociodemographic subgroups. This study aimed to identify heterogeneity in the association of VP/VLBW on HRQoL in early adulthood, specifically examining maternal age, education, and ethnicity. Individual-level data from three longitudinal cohort…
Language and communication functioning in children and adolescents with agenesis of the corpus callosum
The corpus callosum, the largest white matter inter-hemispheric pathway, is involved in language and communication. In a cohort of 15 children and adolescents (8-15 years) with developmental absence of the corpus callosum (AgCC), this study aimed to describe language and everyday communication functioning, and explored the role of anatomical factors, social risk, and non-verbal IQ in these outcomes. Standardised measures of language and everyday …
Intimate partner violence during infancy and cognitive outcomes in middle childhood
The cognitive functioning of children who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) has received less attention than their emotional-behavioral outcomes. Drawing upon data from 615 (48.4% female) 10-year-old Australian-born children and their mothers (9.6% of mothers born in non-English speaking countries) participating in a community-based longitudinal study between 2004 and 2016, this study examined the associations between IPV in infancy and …
Cross-Border Commemorations
This book is a fresh and significant contribution to the rapidly emerging analyses of transnational public history and borderlands studies. It focuses on Swedish settlements in America by comparing the “cross-border commemorations” of the seventeenth-century colony of New Sweden along the Delaware River and environs in the middle colonies (1638–1655) and the mass migration of 1.3 million Swedes (1840–1930), largely to North America, with a nation…
Maternal micronutrient consumption periconceptionally and during pregnancy
Objective To examine overall micronutrient intake periconceptionally and throughout pregnancy in a population-based cohort of Australian women. Design In a prospective cohort study, micronutrient dosages were extracted from self-reported maternal supplement use, recorded pre-conception, and for each trimester of pregnancy. A food frequency scale (DQESv2) captured usual maternal diet for gestational weeks 14–26. The influence of sociodemographic a…
Alcohol consumption in a general antenatal population and child neurodevelopment at 2 years
BACKGROUND: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is a community health problem with up to 50% of pregnant women drinking alcohol. The relationship between low or sporadic binge PAE and adverse child outcomes is not clear. This study examines the association between PAE in the general antenatal population and child neurodevelopment at 2 years, accounting for relevant contributing factors. METHODS: This prospective population-based cohort recruited 1570…
Did you ever drink more?” A detailed description of pregnant women’s drinking patterns
We have identified characteristics of pregnant women who either abstain, drink until pregnancy awareness or drink throughout pregnancy. These may assist in targeting strategies to enhance adherence to an abstinence policy and ultimately allow for appropriate follow-up and interpretation of adverse child outcomes. Our methodology also produced important information to reduce misclassification of occasional binge drinking episodes and ensure clearl…
Multiple imputation for missing data in a longitudinal cohort study
Multiple imputation (MI), a two-stage process whereby missing data are imputed multiple times and the resulting estimates of the parameter(s) of interest are combined across the completed datasets, is becoming increasingly popular for handling missing data. However, MI can result in biased inference if not carried out appropriately or if the underlying assumptions are not justifiable. Despite this, there remains a scarcity of guidelines for carry…

Assessment and Development of Executive Function (EF) During Childhood
This review paper outlines the issues associated with the assessment of executive function (EF) in children and adolescents, and describes the developmental profile of executive processes across childhood. At the outset, EF is defined, and cognitive and behavioral impairments associated with executive dysfunction (EDF) are described. A developmental model of EF is proposed incorporating four discrete but inter-related executive domains (attention…

Sion College and the London Provincial Assembly, 1647–1660
The events which together finally resulted in a restructuring of the Church of England along Presbyterian lines had been lengthy, complex and exceedingly frustrating for all concerned. Since the earliest days of the Long Parliament, both pulpit and press had been brimming not only with invective against Laudian Episcopacy, but also with a plethora of ideas about church government. After 1643, having accepted the conditions of the Solemn League an…
The Reproductive Role of the Human Breast [and Comments and Reply]
Like that of many other mammals, our rate of reproduction is related to the carrying capacity of our habitat, and throughout our history low lifetime fertility has been advantageous. The most important determinant of lifetime fertility is the interbirth interval, and the major variable in this interval is the duration of postpartum anovulation due to breast-feeding. The need for a long birth interval is accentuated by our immaturity at birth and …
