Executive function is recognized as a critical component of children's cognitive and social development. In two studies, measure executive that had been used in research with chimpanzees was adapted for preschoolers. On this task, called Less Is More, children must point to smaller reward (two candies) receive larger (five candies). Study 1 (N = 101), performance significantly related age (3 vs. 4), verbal ability, established measures function. 2 128), symbolic representations substituted...
This study investigated how frequently a group of young heterosexual Australians (ages 15 to 29) saw range behaviors represented in pornography over the previous 12 months. Participants were recruited an anonymous online survey. Those who reported having viewed past months (n = 517) indicated they each list 17 when watched Men's pleasure (83%) was seen by highest proportion people surveyed, followed man being portrayed as dominant (70%). Women more likely report seeing violence toward woman...
Interventions to help young people make sense of sex and relationships in the context widely available pornography are becoming increasingly supported school settings. However, who experience disruptions their education often have less access such programs. Digital platforms may offer a more accessible method deliver tailored sexual health literacy disengaged from mainstream schooling, or other types structural disadvantage. This study aimed describe formative evaluation "The Gist"...
Abstract To characterize the transport of respiratory pathogens during commercial air travel, Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations were performed to track particles expelled by coughing a passenger assigned different seats on Boeing 737 aircraft. Simulation data post-processed calculate amounts inhaled nearby passengers. Different airflow rates used, as well initial conditions account for random fluctuations flow field. Overall, 80% removed from cabin in 1.3–2.6 min, depending...

The impact of viewing pornography at a young age on the sexual health subgroups people is an important public issue. However, topic complex and extremely sensitive, best practices for research harm reduction are yet to be defined. Drawing cross-disciplinary approaches, such as co-design, one way achieve better understanding issue among vulnerable create needs-based evidence-informed digital resources promote literacy.The objective this study was co-design relevant, usable, acceptable...
Abstract Objective Determine the feasibility and predictors of early discharge after minimalist transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Background Duration hospitalization has a direct impact on overall cost care, but clinical length stay (LOS) in patients undergoing TAVR remains unclear. Methods We studied 268 who underwent TAVR. Short LOS (sLOS) was defined as post‐procedural ≤ 3 days observed 163 patients. Prolonged (pLOS) 105 Propensity score matching based 39 variables yielded 54...

Background Despite viewing less often than young men, women view pornography. This study used an online survey to describe women’s pornography use and their reflections on the influence of this use. Methods: Young Australian (15–29 years) were recruited via Facebook complete in 2016. Respondents who had ever viewed (n = 491) asked 10 closed-ended questions related exposure open-ended question: ‘How has influenced your life?’. Quantitative responses descriptively analysed. Qualitative...
Although we know that many young people watch online pornography and engage in sexting, there is limited literature examining their needs relation to information on these highly sensitive complex issues. Online resources exist; however, can find no evidence of any them having been formally tested for usability within the target population.This study aimed test a resource about sexting among people.Semistructured interviews were conducted with 17 participants aged 15 29 years.We found SCOPE...
Consensual sharing of personal sexually explicit imagery (SEI) is part young people’s sexual practise; however, harms arise if content shared without consent. Australians aged 15–29 years were recruited for an online survey. Participants indicated they had ever sent SEI themselves to someone else, received directly from the person in and whether thought it was illegal forward reported anyone their permission, told people, made official reports or there consequences perpetrator(s). Logistic...

Abstract Objectives This study reports on the clinical effects of complete vs incompletely revascularized coronary artery disease transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Background There is a high prevalence active (CAD) in patients undergoing TAVR but preemptive revascularization remains controversial. Methods Patients were categorized into three cohorts: (CR), incomplete major epicardial (IR Major), and minor only Minor). When feasible, SYNTAX scoring was performed for exploratory...
Data on next-day discharge (NDD) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are limited. This study investigated the feasibility and safety of NDD as a first-line option (the very-early [VED] strategy) compared with early-discharge (ED) strategy (2-3 days option) TAVR. We reviewed 611 consecutive patients who had minimalist TAVR (transfemoral approach under conscious sedation) no in-hospital mortality; total 418 underwent ED (since December 2013) 193 VED (as part hospital initiative...

Abstract To compare the transport of respiratory pathogens, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to track particles released by coughing from a passenger on Boeing 737 aircraft, and person in comparable indoor commercial space. Simulation data post-processed calculate amounts inhaled nearby persons both environments.
