Summary: The study found that infants born to mothers with asthma are not at an overall increased risk for temperament or sensory difficulties compared to control infants, but a subset of infants in both groups may be at risk for attention or sensory hyper-reactivity difficulties. More research on the developmental outcomes of infants born to mothers with asthma is needed.

Summary: This study examines the long-term effects of early institutional deprivation on children's development and their ability to recover from early adversity. By analyzing behavioral and neural evidence of institutionalized children, it helps to understand issues related to executive function, memory, affective disorders, etc.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the differences in sensory processing and sleep characteristics between preterm infants born at different gestational ages, as well as the relationship between sensory processing and sleep characteristics in preterm infants at 3 months of age. The results showed no significant differences in sensory processing or sleep characteristics between the preterm groups, but more infants in the <32 weeks' gestation group snored. Preterm infants with atypical sensory processing had shorter nighttime and total sleep durations, and higher rates of nocturnal wakefulness and snoring compared to preterm infants with typical sensory processing. Therefore, there was a significant relationship between sensory processing and sleep characteristics. Early detection of sleep problems and sensory processing difficulties is important for early intervention.

Summary: This study examines how institutional environment influences the adoption of cloud computing in sub-Saharan Africa, finding that institutional pressures (mimetic, coercive, and normative) explain 27% of the variance in cloud computing adoption. Mimetic pressure had the greatest impact on adoption outcomes, while normative pressure had the least impact.

Summary: The study found a positive relationship between sensation seeking and leisure participation, while low registration and sensory sensitivity were negatively correlated with overall participation. Formal activities, skill-based activities, and self-improvement activities were identified as key factors distinguishing between sensory processing types.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the effect of cortical surface stimulation on tinnitus induced by noise exposure. Our findings suggest that cortical activation can alleviate tinnitus symptoms by enhancing cortical activity, reshaping sensory maps, and promoting functional recovery.

Summary: Little is known about the use of palliative and hospice care and their impact on healthcare utilization near the end of life in early-onset pancreatic cancer patients. This study found that while there were early referrals to palliative care, the duration of hospice enrollment was short and healthcare utilization prior to death was substantial. Black race and late use of chemotherapy were independently associated with an increase in ED visits/hospitalization and hospital place of death.

Summary: This study examines the effects of institutional pressures and organizational agility on the adoption of circular business models and specific circular practices. Results from a sample of 218 manufacturing firms show that institutional pressures and organizational agility drive changes at a strategic level, which are then reflected in specific circular practices. Organizational capabilities have a stronger influence on circular product innovation and production, while external pressures have a higher impact on changes in recycling processes.

Summary: This study developed and validated an EEG-based method to investigate visual deviance detection in freely behaving mice. It was found that deviant detection was evident as bi-phasic negativity in the difference waveform, along with deviance-associated oscillatory responses. The results showed good repeatability in an independent measurement.

Summary: This study examines the impact of consumption tax adoption on firm innovation using a cross-country sample from 1990 to 2015. It finds that firms reduce their innovation intensity but maintain their innovation quality after tax adoption. Further analysis shows that firms primarily decrease low-quality innovation in response to the decline in consumer demand. They also demonstrate higher originality and explore a wider range of new knowledge during innovation, which helps them differentiate their products. However, the ability of firms to transform innovation strategies depends on their pre-existing financial capability.

Summary: Temporary sensory deprivation can induce structural and functional plasticity in dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, resulting in changes in axon initial segment length and intrinsic excitability. This experience-dependent plasticity may help fine-tune sensory processing in the face of continuously fluctuating inputs.

Summary: Chronic or extreme stress in childhood, known as early life stress, can have long-term effects on children's development and mental health. While early life stress has been linked to altered functioning of various neural and biological systems, children's outcomes can vary greatly. Children's perceptions of their environment and social relationships influence the development of central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting how they interpret and respond to potential stressful events.

Summary: Despite advancements in the study of brain maturation at different developmental epochs, this study aimed to link the significant neural changes occurring just after birth to the subtler refinements in the brain occurring in childhood and adolescence. The data revealed significant structural differences in gray matter development for children living in or near poverty, which evolve throughout adolescence.

Summary: This study examined how children spontaneously represent facial cues associated with emotion through a spatial arrangement method. The findings showed continuity and gradual changes in children's emotion knowledge compared to adults, with emotion knowledge developing through an incremental learning process where children change their representations using combinations of factors, particularly valence, weighted differently across development.

Summary: This study aims to examine the impact of parenting practices in the context of post-traumatic stress on children's emotional processing. The findings suggest that spanking as a discipline type is associated with poorer emotional processing, while withholding of media access is associated with better emotional processing. Additionally, younger and less religious mothers are more prone to use spanking.

Summary: This study examined the influence of mood on low-level perceptual learning in children and adults. The results showed that emotional arousal and valence did not have a significant modulation effect on perceptual learning. This suggests that low-level perceptual learning is primarily constrained by the task itself and independent from learners' affect.

Summary: Childhood adversity is closely related to the occurrence of psychopathology, and emotion regulation is one potential psychological mechanism. This meta-analysis found that emotion regulation difficulties, habitual rumination, and suppression were positively associated with childhood adversity and psychopathology. In contrast, habitual reappraisal use showed negative relations. These emotion regulation measures mediated the relationship between childhood adversity and psychopathology, while distraction was not related to either.

Summary: Learners can flexibly update category boundaries based on their experiences. However, it is unclear whether this flexibility is consistent across different domains. This study investigated whether categorization of social input, particularly emotions, is more flexible compared to other biological input. The results showed that children could flexibly adjust category boundaries for both emotions and animals based on distributional information, but they demonstrated greater flexibility when updating category boundaries for emotions. These findings suggest that children, who need to adapt to various emotional signals from their social partners, dynamically respond to social signals in order to predict others' internal states and future behaviors.
