The document discusses two types of parenting simulations and their effectiveness in changing attitudes towards parenting.
The first is an interactive infant doll simulation called Baby Think It Over that requires hands-on care of a crying doll infant. Studies show this simulation increases understanding of infant care responsibilities and challenges of parenting for adolescents and young adults. However, it has limited impact on changing sexual behaviors.
The second simulation is a web-based program called My Virtual Child that allows users to raise a virtual child from birth to age 19. This provides a more dynamic experience of parenting over a child's development. Both types of simulations have potential for education and modifying views of parenting when used as supplements to parenting curricula.
This is the first of four articles from my doctoral research. Research indicates the more fathers are involved in care giving of their infants the higher the levels of oxytocin in thier bodies! In my research Attachment and Bonding Constructs were supported by data analysis.

Actually this has supported us to generate an outlook where the center of attention is on the thought of developmentally suitable schooling. It gives indication towards an educational by means of environments, set of courses, equipment as well as coaching that are consistent with student's bodily and cognitive capabilities as well as their societal and emotional requirements or desires. A theme-based developmentally suitable curriculum particularly targeted to early childhood program serving toddlers ranging in age from 14 to 26 months that is based on Piaget’s theory.
Piaget’s stages of cognitive development aspect of his theory will be the most useful to us in our future career. Piaget’s sight of how children's minds work as well as develop has been very much powerful, above all in educational supposition. In addition to this, Piaget’s particular approaching was the job of maturation that is simply growing up in children rising capability to be aware of their humankind: children cannot undertake a number of tasks until they are sensitively mature sufficient to carry out so. However, his study has spawned a great deal further, much of which has destabilized the aspect of his own, however like a lot of other innovative researchers, he anticipated that children's philosophy does not build up completely easily: in its place, there are a number of points at which it "takes off" and moves into totally innovative areas along with some abilities. If we understand his theory completely than his theory would be very helpful for us in our future. After understanding his theory we can brought up our children more effectively and more successfully. In this way we can make our child philosophy. In short we can say that Piaget’s theory has contacted more the physical and psychological traits that change among each stage, despite the fact that this is obvious the growth of theoretical thinking and the acknowledgment of future results are of course a significant aspect in any ethical arbitration. I would like to at the present look at particularly how goodness develops according to Piaget’s theory, although recognizing, like Bee observes, that Piaget is better known for his job on “the early stages of moral reasoning in pre-school and elementary-school-age children”. Yes, definitely Piaget’s theory of cognitive development changed expectation for children now I can deal more effectively with my children.

Abstract
The present paper provides an analytical review of Kathryn E. Barnard’s parent-child interaction model. The purpose is to define the main concepts of the discussed theory and identify its connection to the author’s credentials. Moreover, the goal is to explore applicability of the parent-child model within maternal health care setting by defining its contribution to the research and practice in nursing. The given analysis bases on the recent studies that provide conceptual insights developed by Barnard. In particular, this paper discusses the applicability of Barnard’s Feeding Scale. Moreover, it derives examples from studies of mother-child interactions at early childhood under stressful conditions of the repetitive separation and reunion. In addition, the paper provides examples obtained from a study that focuses on adapting to environmental factors while developing maternal identity. It is detected that Barnard’s parent-child interaction model has considerable implacability for in the planes of research and practice.
Key words: Barnard’s parent-child interaction model, adaptation, maternal identity, Barnard’s Feeding Scale, maternal healthcare.
The Parent-Child Interaction Model
Introduction
Kathryn E. Barnard was the person who developed the parent-child interaction model in 1978. This model emerged as a result of Barnard’s scholarly and practical performance. In other words, this scholar had strong credentials in the field of early child development. Specifically, Barnard has received her master’s degree in nursing along with the certificate of Advanced Graduate Specialization in Nursing Education (Masters, 2015).This was the first step to becoming a teacher of nursing. After graduation, Barnard became a teacher of maternal healthcare. To be more precise, she specialized in child and mother healthcare.
The parent-child interaction model suggests the three planes: a child, a mother, and the environment; beginning from the woman’s pregnancy, these three fields overlap and influence one another. In order to ensure successful interaction within these overlapping circles, mother needs to modify constantly her mentality to meet and cope with the changes and challenges of the other planes. The same refers to a child: the process of development means the need for constant adjustment and re-adjustment (adaptation) to external stimuli. Simultaneously with the development of a child’s psyche, it is necessary to adjust his or her internal stimuli to the external factors. However, this process is ongoing and highly volatile due to constant accommodation to the variables that alter within the time.

Program Design to Promote Social Goals in American K12 Schools
Explanation of Each Initiative
The three main initiatives of promoting social goals in school will include: promoting moral and character education, improving children’s health and nutrition, and creating school communities through extracurricular activities, after school programs, and school spirits (Rissanen et al. 2018). Comment by Evelyn Young: The 3 initiatives are clearly stated. Although did Rissanen et al. propose these 3 initiatives to promote social goals in schools? If these are your arguments, take credit for them. No need to give credit to Rissanen et al. for formulating the thesis for your paper.
I think that your paper could have used an introduction followed by the thesis statement.
Explanation of Each Initiative
Moral education is meant to promote good conduct among school-going children, not just within their immediate social relationships, but also in their dealings with their fellow citizens. This initiative is premised on the need for students to possess clear ideals and judgments on what action are right and what are wrong, including the determination of students’ conduct through a constant reference to those ideals. Moral education will be offered as a social goal to enlighten students on a system of rules and norms that regulate the social interactions of people on concepts of welfare, such as harm, trust, justice, and rights. For some students, issues related to values, personal feelings, and societal norms are constructs for discussions and are as such viewed as being influenced by the manner in which morality taught or experienced in schools, churches, and social institution settings. Moral education will be meant to reduce criminal and deviant behaviors among students. Moral character is required in schools because many parents do not teach their children morality issues.
The health and nutrition initiative is meant to improve the physical and mental well being of students. This initiative has the potential to improve the quality of students’ urban life, strengthen the ability of poor children to excel in their studies, and to compensate them for the substandard home and school environments spawned by competitive, inequitable social order. Health and nutritional initiatives will be strengthened through planning and introducing curriculum on nutrition with educational activities. These will include physical activities, which are combined with the farm to school programs that motivate students to consume healthy diets. Indeed, the hybrid school-based nutritional programs have major influence on attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors associated with fruits and vegetable consumption diffused throughout a bigger urban community (Dudley Cotton & Peralta, 2015).

A Course-Based Qualitative Inquiry into the Potential Impact of the Bachelor ...inventionjournals
This course-based qualitative study aims to explore what 4th-year Child and Youth Care students and recent graduates of the Bachelor of Child and Youth Care program at MacEwan University think about their likely parenting styles as a direct result of their Child and Youth Care educational experience. A thematic analysis of the data revealed four major themes: (1) the desire to be an authoritative parent, (2) courses, (3) themes and concepts that were meaningful, and (4) a better understanding of theories relevant to parenting and the need for self-reflection
Parenting Styles and Academic Performance of Senior High School StudentsAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The district-wide survey study examined the parenting styles and academic performance among
Grade 12 learners in Social Science amidst the CoViD-19 pandemic. The study involved two hundred forty-four
(244) parents as respondents. The study used descriptive research design through survey questionnaires as the
main instrument in gathering the required data. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were employed in the
computation, analysis, and interpretation of data. Results of the study revealed that most parent-respondents are
female, in their middle adulthood, with a minimum family and a number of children. Parents agree on the
parenting styles they do. The mean academic performance of Grade 12 learners in Social Science was "Very
Satisfactory". There was a significant difference in parents' parenting styles as to authoritarian style when
respondents were grouped according to age and family monthly income. There was a significant difference in
parents' parenting styles as to permissive style when respondents were grouped according to age. There was a
significant difference in parents' parenting styles as to authoritative style when respondents were grouped
according to the number of children in the family. There was a very low positive correlation between the
parenting styles of parents and the academic performance of Grade 12 learners in Social Science. Based on the
study's findings, parents may consider exploring appropriate parenting styles to motivate their children, and
parents are encouraged not to spoil their children. Parents are encouraged to attend any PTA meetings to show
support for their children's learning. The parents may consider equally practiced parenting styles as
authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative regardless of their profile. It may be possible to undertake a
comparative study with a bigger sample size of participants from various places to validate and enhance the
generalizability of the results.

1.1 Why a Family-Centered Approach
Traditionally, schools throughout the world have been institutions in which teachers, social workers, and educational specialists are considered the sole source of knowledge, information, and expertise, and parents are expected to support and implement the advice of these experts. Until recently, in contrast with schools, early childhood care and education programs followed a parent-oriented approach in which parents assumed a more active role. Families got together to care for each other's children; sometimes the older women in a community cared for the young children, and mothers rotated care in mother's-day-out programs. One example of high-quality family-oriented child care in the United States can be found in the Kaiser Shipyards during WWII, where mothers worked in factories building ships. These programs provided family medical care and even meals for mothers to take home after their shift in the factory (Hurwitz, 1998). However, over the years, many early childhood programs became more like schools, expecting parents to listen passively to their advice and to help implement their programs (Keyser, 2006).
The development of a family-centered early care and education approach can be traced to the federal early childhood program Head Start. Formed in 1965 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty, Head Start was developed as a comprehensive program for low-income families with preschool-age children, with a focus on parent involvement and community collaboration (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS], 2012). The architects of Head Start recognized the need to work in an equal partnership with families of low-income children (Greenberg, 1969). To this end, the program was designed with very specific roles and responsibilities for parents. Program Performance Standards outline overall standards to be met in each component area. These are critical quality indicators used to ensure the program meets the unique needs of the communities and families the program serves. Component areas that must meet these performance standards include specific requirements for parent activities, such as opportunities for parents to follow a career path to become teachers in the local program. Additionally, all local Head Start programs have a governing body, known as a policy council, which must include parents. This body has direct responsibilities in a variety of areas, including approval of hiring and firing of all staff, budget and program component approval, and overall program evaluation (HHS, 2012).
The design of local Head Start programs led more and more early childhood programs to consider a shared approach to power and control. Other early childhood models (such as Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and local community-based programs) practice different degrees of the family-centered approach, depending on their unique philosophy, history, and ownership. With a family-centered approach ...

Despite knowledge about the profound effects of child abuse and neglect, we know little about
how best to assess whether maltreated children should return home. The effectiveness of the New
Orleans Intervention Model (NIM) is being tested in a randomized controlled trial where the
comparison is social work ‘services as usual.’ The future trial results will tell us which approach
produces the best outcomes for children; meanwhile qualitative process evaluation is generating
intriguing findings about the perceived impact of NIM on decision-making about childrens’ fu-
tures. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with social workers, foster carers, legal de-
cision-makers and the NIM team (n = 63). Data were analysed thematically. Findings suggest
that NIM is seen as bringing greater influence (‘clout’) to decision-making due to its depth of
focus, provision of treatment for the family, health professional input and perceived objectivity.
Simultaneously, the NIM approach and the detailed information it produces potentially throws
judgments into doubt in the legal system. Clout/doubt perceptions permeate opinions about NIM
and are inter-related with a historical discourse about ‘health versus social’ models of information
gathering, with implications for assessment of child abuse and neglect that extend beyond the
study context. The juxtaposition of ‘clout versus doubt’ both highlights and is strengthened by an
intense focus among social workers and legal professionals on how evidence will be regarded
within legal fora when making decisions about children. There is continuing uncertainty in the
child welfare system about the best ways of assessing maltreated children, underscoring a con-
tinued need for the trial.
1. Introduction
1.1. The need for quality assessment in the complex world of child abuse and neglect
Research continues to document the profound personal and societal costs of childhood abuse and neglect (e.g., Caspi et al., 2016;
Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). We know that one of the key factors in establishing a child’s resilience to such
effects is positive and emotionally responsive caregiving post-maltreatment (Dozier, Bick, & Bernard, 2011; Dozier,
Zeanah, & Bernard, 2013). What is less well known, however, is how best we can make the complex decision about whether a child

How are Love, Loneliness, and Health Related?_Crimson PublishersCrimsonpublishersPPrs
Love and loneliness are not thought of as relating to each other, but under some circumstances, they do. This article reviews the concepts of intimacy and love. It explores what each of these concepts are, and the positive effects that love has on us psychologically, emotionally and physically. We describe what happens when love wanes, the impact it has on our romantic union, what are the causes for its disappearance and how loneliness may, thus, become an integral part of the relationship.
Parenting Styles, Academic Achievement and the Influence of Culture | Crimson...CrimsonpublishersPPrs
There is robust evidence on the influence of parenting styles on children and adolescents academic achievement. Based on Baumrind’s model of parenting styles, the majority of studies conclude that the authoritative parenting style is the most efficient to enhance academic achievement, in contrast to authoritarian and permissive parenting styles that are most commonly associated with academic achievement in a negative direction. However, there is an important line of research that indicates that culture plays a crucial role in the relation between parenting and academic success and that Baumrind´s model may not always fit the parenting styles observed in non-western societies.
In our globalised world, the contribution of social sciences is crucial, particularly with regard to the challenges of our time. Migrations, transnational undertakings, international issues health and environment related are major concerns that require shared perspectives. We can no longer afford former and standardized responses. Our generation smartly need a deeper understanding of diverse realities. The construction and the dissemination of cross-cultural knowledge’s are essential in order to break through received ideas and misconceptions. Majority and minority world traditions in the psychological sciences. Science is a tool into the hands of the ruling classes who ask questions, determine objects of study and choose attractive notions [1].
In that respect, the mainstream psychology inherited a double cultural halo effect, at the expense of “minorities” (or the dominated groups, who actually represent the majority) [2]. First, from an intercultural point of view, the global preponderance of western culture tend to present western school of thinking as “natural” and universal [3-5]. This ethnocentric vision is consistent with colonialist history of the 19-20th century. Thus, most of scientific theories –not only in psychology, but in social and human sciences at large– assume an individualistic point of view where individual factors explain behaviour [6]. Yet, in most cultures, the sense of self is mostly nested in the relationship with the social and the metaphysical environment [7-10].
Secondly, from an intracultural point of view, studies are mainly conducted with sampled from WEIRD (white, educated, industrialized, rich, developed) countries, typically with young, educated and white individuals, from which results are generalized to the global population [11]. Historically, this western approach occurred when psychology claimed the status of exact science, developing a positivist vision relying on validated concepts and instruments. Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920), the founder of the first pioneering psychological laboratory in Leipzig in 1879, laid the first stone of a “genuinely empirical” psychology, physiology-related but purposely completely disconnected from the social reality [12,13]. Marking a shift from general to applied psychology, but still relying on the same empirical standpoint, William Stern (1871-1938) introduced the notion of intelligence quotient and coined the term “psycho-technical” to refer to “a technical science, related to causal psychology as engineering is related to physics” (Miinsterberg 1914, cited in [14]). His work did not explore the social structuration but, rather posed the “national nature” as immutable and definitely established [1]. For instance, the intelligence tests do not consider the environmental impact of formation and learning. The plasticity of human nature, the structuration through environment, the lability of psychological trait was denied [1].
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting

Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
