Genetic Influences on Parental Expressed Emotion. A Novel Approach to the Nat...Florence Walsh
This document summarizes a study that examines genetic influences on parental expressed emotion using a child-based twin design. The study measured expressed emotion using the Five Minute Speech Sample (5MSS) in which mothers spoke for five minutes about their twins. Previous research found some genetic effects for self-reported parenting measures but no genetic effects for the 5MSS measure, indicating mothers spoke about twins very differently. The study demonstrates how the 5MSS can provide insight into parental differential treatment and the bidirectional nature of parent-child relationships. It offers a perspective on how both children and parents can influence each other due to genetic factors.
This document summarizes a study of how some Vermont public school teachers successfully integrate environmental education into their curriculum. The researchers interviewed 9 teachers and observed their outdoor classrooms. They identified 4 emerging themes: 1) building holistic curriculum that connects various subjects to nature, 2) embracing place-based education that explores the local environment, 3) allowing student choice in outdoor activities, and 4) regularly taking classes on adventures outside. The goal was to provide models for engaging students and reconnecting them to nature.
The document discusses how gardens can be a place for childhood learning and development. It describes how gardens allow children to explore nature through play, take safe risks like encountering insects or mud, and build relationships with peers and community members like a local farmer. The garden is seen as a place where children can learn about diversity, including cultural diversity through cooking traditions, social diversity through meeting people with different jobs, and economic diversity through discussions about food access and sharing extra produce with local food banks.

- The study observed 42 families with young children for over 2 years to record their interactions and language use. It found huge disparities between income groups.
- Children from lower-income families heard millions fewer words and had slower vocabulary growth compared to children from professional families. This gap predicted later performance on language and reading tests.
- Extrapolating the data, researchers estimated the average child from a welfare family would hear over 30 million fewer words by age 3 compared to the average child from a professional family, putting them at a significant disadvantage for school.
Investigating the role of language in children’s early educational outcomesJoseph Sanopao
This study examined the relationships between social disadvantage, aspects of a child's early communication environment, the child's language development, and their performance in early school assessments. The researchers found that a child's social background, early language at age 2, and communication environment all predicted school readiness. Specifically, aspects like number of books, library visits, parent teaching activities, and toys available positively influenced language development, while more TV time was negatively associated. A child's communication environment was a stronger predictor of early language than just social background alone. The study confirms the importance of a child's earliest experiences for school preparedness.
The study examined the effects of an 8-week environmental print program on 50 preschool children from low socioeconomic backgrounds in Australia. The children were randomly assigned to an environmental print group or control group. Those in the print group participated in activities using cereal boxes and other materials to learn letters. Post-tests found the print group performed significantly better on print knowledge, sound knowledge, and print awareness compared to the control group. The program was most effective at developing print awareness. The study provided evidence that exposure to environmental print can benefit emergent literacy skills in low-SES children.

Growing the Future: Using Technology to Connect Kids to Naturesaritastowers
This document discusses how technology can be leveraged to connect families with nature. It aims to change perceptions that technology limits nature exposure by demonstrating how nature can be accessed through technology. The document highlights two websites, NatureRocks.org and NatureWorksEverywhere.org, that provide hands-on learning resources to inspire families to explore nature together. Research shows spending time in nature improves children's cognitive functioning and emotional well-being, but children now spend much less time outdoors and more time using screens. The document argues that technology can drive outdoor experiences and help address the lack of nature time for children.
This document summarizes research on the benefits of outdoor play and learning environments for young children. It finds that children today spend less time playing outdoors and more time engaged with screens. This lack of outdoor time is linked to issues like obesity, attention problems, and poor physical and mental health. The document then outlines North Carolina's efforts to enhance early childhood outdoor learning environments and professional development through the North Carolina Outdoor Learning Environments Alliance. It shares the Alliance's goals of improving outdoor spaces and teachers' understanding of the importance of outdoor time.
Small Talk: Strategies to Support Child Communication Before Words Emergemilfamln
Previous webinars in this series have covered child communication development through the preschool years. In this session Drs. Mollie Romano and Juliann Woods will discuss what families, early care and education providers, and early interventionists can do to help a child learn to communicate and talk. A focus will be placed on evidence-based strategies to support communication leading to words and how caregivers can embed these strategies in everyday activities - from walking to the bus stop to pick up an older sister to Face-timing with Mom or Dad while during deployment. The presenters will present a variety of responsive intervention strategies including interactive book sharing to support child communication and emergent literacy.
Objectives:
1. Describe the importance of responding to child communication as a strategy
2. Discover at least three ways to create opportunities for children to communicate during everyday routines
3. Learn how to coach families to embed strategies during their daily routines and activities
Academic Achievement In Grade 11 And 12 In K12 High School Students In Public...Scott Donald
This document discusses a study investigating the influence of parents' educational attainment on the academic achievement of grade 11 and 12 students in public and private schools. The study utilized surveys of students, teachers, and parents in Naval Biliran, Philippines. Previous research suggests parents' education level affects children's academic outcomes through factors like resources available at home, parental values around education, involvement in schooling, and modeling of skills. However, some research has found no relationship between parental education and student achievement. The study aims to further examine the long-term effects of parental education on children's educational and occupational success when controlling for socioeconomic status and children's behaviors.
Ecopsychology in Relationship between School Students and the Natural Worldijcnes
Ecopsychology studies the relationship between human beings and the natural world through ecological and psychological principles. The field seeks to develop and understand ways of expanding the emotional connection between individuals and the natural world, thereby assisting individuals with developing sustainable lifestyles and remedying alienation from nature. We describe specific examples using a pedagogical framework for helping School students to engage, explore, explain, and elaborate the psychology behind nature. This approach should better prepare students with an understanding that ecological knowledge must be integrated with solutions that address psychological barriers if efforts to alter behavior related to nature world are to succeed.
Nature deficit has had profound impacts on our children’s mental and physical health. Over the past 20 years, time spent playing outdoors has been cut in half, but the childhood obesity rate has more than doubled and the adolescent obesity rate has tripled.
National Wildlife Federation (NWF) created the Be Out There movement to give back to American children what they don’t even know they have lost: their connection to the natural world. In the process, NWF aims to help reverse alarming health trends and help families raise happier, healthier children. Signs everywhere show the spirit of the movement taking hold.

The document describes a project at Rothes Primary School in Moray where nursery and P1 students grew vegetables and studied minibeasts. The students learned about planting, caring for, and harvesting vegetables. They observed minibeasts using magnifying glasses and binoculars. The project aimed to make learning fun and help with the transition from nursery to primary school. It covered various areas of the curriculum and encouraged collaboration between teachers.
- The document discusses how children today spend less time outdoors and are suffering from "Nature Deficit Disorder", disconnected from nature.
- It describes efforts to reconnect children with nature through community projects like gardening and outdoor activities to benefit their health, development, and environment.
- The author implements a small gardening project with neighborhood children to teach them about growing food and nurturing their relationship with nature over the summer.
Getting parents involved in their children's schools has significant benefits for children including improved grades, test scores, attendance, homework completion, behavior, and self-esteem. Effective parent involvement requires true partnerships between schools and families, especially around academics. Research shows that greater parent involvement leads to higher student achievement. Several organizations promote parent involvement through programs like home visits, workshops, and resources to build parents' skills and confidence in supporting their children's education.
For this project my classmates and I conducted research on how interactions between parents and their infants affects speech development. We used Bronfenbrenner's Ecological model to explain how a child's development is impacted by the environment around them. We also used developmental pathology to explain how different children react to their environments in different ways, which in turn affects their development.
School gardening has numerous benefits for students including increased self-esteem, sense of responsibility, relationships with family and parents, and parental involvement. Students learn more effectively when actively involved in the learning process. Gardening also enhances learning for students with disabilities and fosters parental involvement. Gardening can meet New York state learning standards in areas like math, science, and technology. Students who participate in gardening score higher on science tests and have more positive attitudes about the environment. Gardening also increases knowledge of nutrition, plant ecology, and gardening while fostering more positive attitudes towards fruits and vegetables.
The document discusses the importance of understanding family needs and cultural differences in early childhood programs. It recommends listening to families, learning about their emotional functioning and cultural backgrounds, and empowering and involving parents through a variety of activities and direct participation in their child's education. Meeting with families should focus on building trusting relationships through respectful communication and shared learning between teachers, families and researchers.

Our proposed video aims to show parents how their behaviors influence their children through imitation, using examples of both positive and negative influence. The video begins by depicting a father engaging in negative behaviors like smoking and violence, then realizes he could send his child down the same path unless he changes. The second half shows the child imitating the mother's positive behaviors like eating fruit and reading. Studies discussed in the document show children are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors if their parents set a good example through behaviors like eating fruits and reading together.
This presentation offers a general idea of the structure of seed, seed production, management of seeds and its allied technologies. It also offers the concept of gene erosion and the practices used to control it. Nursery and gardening have been widely explored along with their importance in the related domain.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coastsSérgio Sacani
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptxshubhijain836
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.

Plant
yourself
where
language
blooms:
Direct
experience
of
nature
changes
how
parents
and
children
talk
about
nature.
Childhood,
Youth,
and
Environments,
27,
110-‐124.
Adults
Parents
&
children
used
more
plant
vocabulary
outdoors
in
the
park.
14. Communication Quality
We
measured
communica8on
quality
using
known
predictors
of
children’s
long-‐term
cogni8ve
and
communica8ve
outcomes.
Vocabulary:
The
number
of
different
words.
Talka8veness:
The
number
of
units
of
speech
separated
by
pauses
of
3
seconds
or
more.
Complexity:
The
average
number
of
words
in
a
unit
of
speech
&
vocabulary
diversity.
Connectedness:
The
number
of
connected
conversa8onal
turns
between
parent
and
child.
15. Connected communication = an initiation and all subsequent
logically related turns
P: I can see a dog over there. 1
C: Can I climb that tree? 1
P: What shall we go and look for? 1
C: Erm, frogs. 2
P: Frogs? Where would we find frogs? 3
C: In a pool. 4
P: I don’t know if there is a pool. 5

18. Communication Quality
Why
is
conversa8on
more
connected
in
natural
environments?
We
conducted
exploratory
analyses
to
examine
three
ways
in
which
greater
aien8onal
capacity
might
benefit
conversa8onal
quality:
Parents’
conversa8onal
style
might
be
more
elabora8ve
outdoors;
Joint
aien8on
might
be
more
prevalent
outdoors;
or
Social
aien8on
might
be
more
prevalent
outdoors.
19. Conversational Style
We
evaluated
parents’
conversa8onal
styles
by
dis8nguishing
between
different
ques8on
types.
Elabora8ve
conversa8onal
styles
expand
on
child’s
contribu8ons
and
offer
further
opportunity
for
the
child
to
contribute.
Elabora8ve
conversa8onal
styles
oEen
involve
open
ques8ons
e.g
reques8ng
of
names,
descrip8ons,
ac8ons,
explana8ons,
personal
evalua8ons
20. Parents
asked
more
non-‐elabora8ve
ques8ons
both
indoors
in
the
educa8on
centre
and
outdoors
in
the
park

26. Conclusions
We
inves8gated
how
physical
environments
influence
communica8on.
We
observed
parent-‐child
communica8on
to
give
us
a
window
onto
language
&
communica8on
as
they
develop.
We
used
an
experimental
design
to
allow
causal
conclusions
about
how
environments
influence
communica8on.
27. Conclusions
Parents
and
children
used
more
diverse
nature
language
outdoors
in
the
park.
Parent-‐child
conversa8ons
were
more
connected
and
responsive
outdoors
in
the
park.
Parents
were
more
socially
aien8ve
outdoors
in
the
park.
Future
studies
will
examine
the
underlying
mechanisms.
