To determine sociodemographic correlates of contemporary screen time use among a diverse population-based sample 9- and 10-year-old children.In 2021, we analyzed cross-sectional baseline (2016-2018) data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study (n = 10 755). Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to estimate associations between factors (sex, race/ethnicity, country birth, household income, parental education) 6 forms (television, videos [eg, YouTube], video games,...

Abstract Objective Food insecurity is defined as lack of consistent access to adequate food for healthy living.

Method We analyzed prospective data from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study ( N = 10,035, 2016–2020). Logistic regression analyses estimated at baseline, year 1, or 2 (exposure) binge eating, subclinical (Other Specified Feeding...

With rapid advancements in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, its integration into logistics operations has emerged as a promising solution for improving efficiency and sustainability. Among the emerging solutions, collaborative delivery model involving drones trucks addresses last-mile challenges by leveraging complementary strengths of both modes transport. However, evaluating environmental economic impacts this transportation mode requires systematic framework to capture unique...

Abstract Objective To determine the prospective associations between contemporary screen time modalities in a nationally representative cohort of 9–10‐year‐old children and binge‐eating disorder at one‐year follow‐up. Method We analyzed data from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study ( N = 11,025).

Abstract Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are common and linked to negative health outcomes. Previous studies have found associations between ACEs binge-eating disorder (BED), though they mainly focused on adults use cross-sectional data. The objective of this study was examine the BED in a large, national cohort 9–14-year-old early adolescents US. Methods We analyzed prospective data from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study (N = 10,145, 2016–2020). Logistic...

Existing research on foreign direct investment (FDI) focuses the national-level characteristics of host countries or public opinion. However, subnational governments, which heavily influence feasibility and profitability FDI projects, remain understudied. We advance understanding this missing middle layer political actors by documenting policymakers' preferences. Specifically, we conducted an original, nationwide survey experiment top elected local officials to examine how firms' national...

How can democratic governments convince their citizens to support a costly military alliance? We theorize about two rhetorical tools that foreign policy leaders have historically used achieve this goal: instrumental cues emphasizing national interests and ideational highlighting shared values. then assess the effects of these appeals in various forms contexts by analyzing original survey experiments fielded United States. Our analysis shows alliance rhetoric – whether positive or negative...

Drawing social theories democratic peace international relations more broadly, it observes governments their form communities along ideological lines, which most prominently includes differences in liberal democracy. This argument implies people...

Data were collected using multi‐stage probability sampling. Modified Poisson regression analyses examined self‐reported based on Kiddie Schedule...

The current study investigated the prospective relationships between parental monitoring, family conflict, and screen time across six modalities in early adolescents USA.

Reciprocity is one of the oldest principles warfare, but humanitarian norms embedded in international law (IHL) prohibit reciprocity over various wartime acts. When it comes to treatment prisoners war (POWs), how do these conflicting shape public opinion? One perspective that citizens who learn about IHL acquire an unconditional aversion abusing POWs.

Investigating this question among public, we argue some citizens actually support taboo policies in private but unwilling to express counter-normative opinions openly due fear social sanction.

How do people around the world define democracy? Answering this question is critical as countries face democratic backsliding and authoritarian governments promote alternative notions of democracy. Indeed, some scholars argue that from different backgrounds understand democracy differently. By contrast, we discovered very consistent views about what constitutes a "democratic" country conjoint survey experiments conducted in Egypt, India, Italy, Japan, Thailand, United States. Across (

Many data centers extensively use virtual machines (VMs), which provide the flexibility to move workload among physical servers. VMs can be placed maximize application performance, power efficiency, or even fault tolerance. However, are typically repositioned without considering network topology, congestion, traffic routes.
