Abstract:
AbstractThe association between mothers' psychological control and their children's emotional adjustment problems is well documented. However, processes that may explain this association are not well understood. The present study tested the idea that relational aggression and psychological control within the context of the sibling relationship may help to account for the relation between mothers' psychological control and adolescents' internalizing symptoms. Older (M = 16.46, SD = 1.35 years) and younger (M = 13.67, SD = 1.56 years) siblings from 101 dyads rated the psychological control they

Within-brood or -litter dominance provides fitness-related benefits if dominant siblings selfishly skew access to food provided by parents in their favour. Models of facultative siblicide assume that dominants exert complete control over their subordinate sibling's access to food and that control is maintained, irrespective of the subordinate's hunger level. By contrast, a recent functional hypothesis suggests that subordinates should contest access to food when the cost of not doing so is high.

AbstractOne of the most dramatic findings from quantitative genetic research is that environmental influences shared by siblings in a family do not make the siblings similar in terms of psychopathology.

The restoration of Nauvoo, Illinois, by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) generated competing visions for the city. While the Latter-day Saints used the site to attract religious interest, their sibling faith, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Community of Christ), responded with a competing building program of their own. This chapter traces the way the Reorganized Church moved from a defensive posture to rebrand its message in Nauvoo around historical accuracy and the internal debate within Church leadership that this shift created. It also examines the cooperation between the faiths that emerged as they took divergent paths. Finally, it explores the response by the local Nauvoo community to the loss of control over their town’s historical narrative.

In this paper, we introduce a human-centric lighting control system optimized to support sleep and circadian coordination. We present an approach to optimize lighting that combines a “digital siblings” approach, i.e., a stochastic extension of a digital twin. It estimates and optimizes parameters in experimentally validated models of circadian and sleep regulation with a novel optimization algorithm for optimal timing of light exposure. We acknowledge that people have varying preferences for the lighting levels throughout the day based on their personal preferences and schedules and explicitly include this as a key parameter in our optimization strategy. Our results show that with the suggested lighting schedules, alignment of circadian rhythmicity to the desired sleep-wake schedule can be achieved with minimal disruption to people’s daily lives.

Full text
Abstract:
The story of Operation Pedro Pan (or Operation Peter Pan) and the Cuban Children’s Program remains a highly contested one, still regarded in Miami as an urgent humanitarian “rescue” mission while in Havana it is viewed as a scheme that hoodwinked parents into sending their offspring out of the country as unaccompanied minors and sometimes even described as a mass kidnapping. This book moves beyond Cold War tropes about threats to the Cuban family by the revolutionary government and uses the episode to examine in detail the social reforms that unfolded in the wake of the 1959 Cuban Revolution and how these changes encouraged a new revolutionary youth culture of political activism and challenged the United States’ historical, political, and economic control and cultural influence in Cuba. By focusing on the generation of young Cubans who came to maturity in the early 1960s and tracking the parallel trajectories of the Pedro Pan children and their siblings, friends, and classmates who stayed on the island (100,000 of whom participated in the 1961 national literacy campaign), this book for the first time takes a broader view and presents a more nuanced explanation of this history.

Full text
Abstract:
Although old age is readily recognizable, methods to define and measure the underlying biological processes are much less amenable to study. For this reason, life expectancy has been widely used as a surrogate measure of ageing, as well as to monitor economic progress at national and regional levels. It is generally acknowledged that lifespan is a constitutional feature of the human phenotype, and twin studies have indicated that 25–33 per cent of the variance in human longevity is genetic in origin. External factors including lifestyle can also exert a major influence, as illustrated by the current mean life expectancies of 79 and 86 years for males and females in Japan, whereas the comparable figures for Botswana are 35 and 33 years, respectively. The importance of genetic inheritance as a determinant of extended survival has been illustrated by population level studies in Okinawa, an island prefecture of southern Japan with a very high prevalence of long-lived individuals. On the island, the mortality rates of the male and female siblings of centenarians were approximately half those of birth cohort-matched, non-centenarian siblings. These findings parallel an earlier study of the family of Jeanne Calment, who died in France in 1997 aged 122 years. Of her 55 relatives, 24 per cent had lived to &gt;80 years compared to just 2 per cent of a matched control group. However, it remains unclear whether the enhanced lifespan of individuals who exhibit above average longevity is due to a slowing of the overall ageing process or is primarily associated with resistance to major life-threatening pathologies. The concept of an ‘allostatic load’, potentially involving the neuroendocrine, sympathetic nervous, immune and cardiovascular systems, and metabolic pathways, has been advanced to describe the lifetime costs of adapting to physical and psychological stresses. According to this hypothesis, while the actions of biological mediators of stress can be initially beneficial to health, chronic stimulation results in regulatory imbalance and subsequent pathophysiological changes. Empirical studies have indicated increased physiological dysregulation and functional decline at &gt;70 years of age, which would imply that predicted global increases in the numbers of older persons will be accompanied by disproportionately larger groups of individuals with major age-related pathologies.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on how regimes of illegality shape children’s power within families, specifically in their relationships with parents and siblings. It explores how unauthorized migration alters the experiences of three groups of children in Mexican migrant families: children in Mexico whose parents are unauthorized migrants in the United States; child migrants living in the United States, most often unauthorized like their parents; and children born in the United States to unauthorized parents. Drawing on interviews conducted with children in both Mexico and the United States, this chapter emphasizes the impact of gender, age and birth order on children’s experiences of power vis-à-vis their relationships with parents and other family members. A turn toward restrictive immigration policies has magnified the detrimental effects of enhanced enforcement and deportation regimes on families and especially on children and youth. U.S. immigration controls affect migrant and non-migrant children; both those whose parents migrate without them as well as those born to migrant parents in host countries. The specter of illegality within a family changes children’s roles and concrete responsibilities in their families as well as their feelings related to these changes.

Abstract:
In this chapter, we consider the causes and evolutionary consequences of phenotypic variation among individuals in random-mating, unstructured populations. We focus on quantitative traits because they illustrate well the difficulties in determining genetic versus environmental causes of phenotypic variation. This is an important step when aiming to make precise predictions concerning phenotypic change in traits that influence individual longevity and reproduction. We also describe several recent conceptual advances concerning the evolutionary significance of population structure. Variation among individuals in quantitative traits is typically measured as total phenotypic variance (the variance estimated from all phenotypes measured in a population). This parameter has three convenient properties; first, total phenotypic variance can be partitioned into components that are themselves variances attributable to different causes, and second, these components are additive, summing to the total phenotypic variance. These attributes allow one to identify and to compare the magnitudes of different sources of variance to determine their relative evolutionary and ecological importance. Third, even when total phenotypic variance in a trait is high, resulting in a high degree of overlap among the means of different Variation among individuals in quantitative traits is typically measured as total phenotypic variance (the variance estimated from all phenotypes measured in a population). This parameter has three convenient properties; first, total phenotypic variance can be partitioned into components that are themselves variances attributable to different causes, and second, these components are additive, summing to the total phenotypic variance. These attributes allow one to identify and to compare the magnitudes of different sources of variance to determine their relative evolutionary and ecological importance. Third, even when total phenotypic variance in a trait is high, resulting in a high degree of overlap among the means of different populations or genotypes, the statistical control of one or more variance components often permits the detection of significant differences among phenotypic means. The proportion of total phenotypic variance accounted for by genotypic versus environmentally induced causes determines the degree of resemblance between parents and offspring or between other types of relatives (e.g., clonal replicates, siblings, half-siblings, maternal lineages). Given that a high degree of resemblance among relatives is a criterion for natural selection to cause evolutionary change, a major goal of evolutionary ecologists is to measure these variance components in wild populations.

Abstract:
Deficiency of protein S (PS), the cofactor for the antithrombotic protease, activated protein C (APC), was first described in 1984 in families with venous thrombotic disease. We describe here a PS deficient family with venous thrombotic disease presenting an abnormal PS molecule in plasma and platelets. The propositus, 20 years old, and two older siblings suffered from severe venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli documented by imaging techniques. All laboratory studies were normal except for PS. The propositus while taking oral anticoagulant had a PS antigen (ag) level of 17% and PS functiona
