description: A partire dal corpus di disegni, incisioni e dipinti eseguiti dagli artisti Paul Bril, Bartholomeus Breenbergh e Jan van Ecke il Vecchio nell’entourage, o sotto la diretta protezione, di Paolo Giordano Orsini II, duca di Bracciano, nel secondo quarto del Seicento, il contributo esamina alcune testimonianze visive della vita agreste del territorio intorno al lago di Bracciano. Al centro dell’attenzione sono l’iconografia della capanna, degli usi civici, dei taglia-bosco, degli animali, della viabilità di questo contesto geografico e umano nella cultura figurativa dell’età barocca, cioè nel momento in cui la pittura di paesaggio si confronta direttamente con i siti, e gli artisti cominciano a raccogliere con cura gli elementi naturali dall’esperienza diretta. Per la prima volta è presentata nel suo contesto la suite di stampe Zoographia di Jan van Ecke il Vecchio dedicata nel 1656, dall’Olanda, a Paolo Giordano Orsini II ma evidentemente elaborata nel contesto abitativo e rurale dei dintorni di Bracciano, e dunque non distante dall’attuale Canale Monterano.

The contribution examines some visual evidences of rural life in the territory around Lake Bracciano in the second quarter of the seventeenth century, departing from the corpus of drawings, engravings and paintings executed by the artists Paul Bril, Bartholomeus Breenbergh and Jan van Ecke the Elder in the entourage, or under the direct protection, of Paolo Giordano Orsini II, Duke of Bracciano. The focus is on the iconography of the hut, civic uses, woodcutters, animals, and the viability of this geographic and human context in the figurative culture of the Baroque age, that is, at the time when landscape painting is directly confronted with sites, and artists begin to carefully gather natural elements from direct experience. The suite of prints entitled Zoographia by Jan van Ecke the Elder is presented here for the first time within its context. It’s dedicated in 1656, when the artist is back in the Netherlands, to Paolo Giordano Orsini II but evidently elaborated in the rural context of the surroundings of Bracciano, and thus not far from present-day Canale Monterano.

description: We construct a new class of coherent states labeled by points z of the complex plane and depending on three numbers (gamma, nu) and epsilon positive by replacing the coefficients of the canonical coherent states by Laguerre polynomials. These states are superpositions of eigenstates of the symmetric Poschl-Teller oscillator and they solve the identity of the states Hilbert space at the limit epsilon goes to 0. Their wavefunctions are obtained in a closed form for a special case of parameters (gamma, nu). We discuss their associated coherent states transform which leads to an integral representation of Hankel type for Laguerre functions.

description: Physical activity is an essential part of childhood physical and mental development. Recent research identified visual problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle in children in Ireland. This study explored the association between visual function in children and their engagement with physical activities outside school. Participants were 1,626 schoolchildren (728 aged 6–7-years, 898 aged 12–13-years) in randomly selected schools in Ireland. Before data collection, parents/legal guardians of participants completed a standardised questionnaire reporting physical activity as no activity (mostly on screens), light activity (occasional walking/cycling), moderate activity (<3 hrs/week engaged in sports), or regular activity (>3hrs/week engaged in sports). Measurements included logMAR monocular visual acuities (with spectacles and pinhole), in the distance (3 m) and near (40 cm), stereoacuity (TNO stereo-test), cover test, and cycloplegic autorefraction (1% cyclopentolate). Controlling for confounders (socioeconomic disadvantage and non-White ethnicity), linear regression analysis revealed presenting distance visual acuity, near visual acuity, and stereoacuity were significantly better amongst participants who reported regular physical activity rather than moderate, light or no activity in both 6–7-year-old and 12–13-year-old participants. Absence of clinically-significant refractive error (>−0.50D < 2.00D) was associated with regular physical activity. Participants presenting with visual impairment (better-eye vision <6/12) (odds ratio = 5.78 (2.72–12.29)), amblyopia (pinhole acuity ≤6/12 plus an amblyogenic factor) (odds ratio = 5.66 (2.33–13.76)), and participants at school without their spectacles (odds ratio = 2.20 (1.33–3.63)), were more likely to report no activity. Children regularly engaged in physical activities, including sports; had better visual and stereoacuity; and were less likely to need spectacles. Visual impairment, amblyopia, and refractive error were associated with no physical activity. Spectacle wear compliance was associated with regular physical activity. Regular physical activity is an essential factor in childhood vision and addressing visual impairment in children is vital to increasing participation in sports and exercise. Socioeconomically disadvantaged and non-White communities would benefit most from these measures.

description: Titanium-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are considered to have potential for biomedical applications because they combine favorable mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. Copper represents the most common alloying element, which provides high amorphization capacity, but reports emphasizing cytotoxic effects of this element have risen concerns about possible effects on human health. A new copper-free alloy with atomic composition Ti42Zr10Pd14Ag26Sn8, in which Cu is completely replaced by Ag, was formulated based on Morinaga’s d-electron alloy design theory. Following this theory, the actual amount of alloying elements, which defines the values of covalent bond strength Bo and d-orbital energy Md, situates the newly designed alloy inside the BMG domain. By mean of centrifugal casting, cylindrical rods with diameters between 2 and 5 mm were fabricated from this new alloy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-rays diffraction (XRD), as well as microstructural analyses using optical and scanning electron microscopy (OM/SEM) revealed an interesting structure characterized by liquid phase-separated formation of crystalline Ag, as well as metastable intermetallic phases embedded in residual amorphous phases.

description: Social media platforms aspire to create online experiences where users can participate safely and equitably. However, women around the world experience widespread online harassment, including insults, stalking, aggression, threats, and non-consensual sharing of sexual photos. This article describes women's perceptions of harm associated with online harassment and preferred platform responses to that harm. We conducted a survey in 14 geographic regions around the world (N = 3,993), focusing on regions whose perspectives have been insufficiently elevated in social media governance decisions (e.g. Mongolia, Cameroon). {Results show} that, on average, women perceive greater harm associated with online harassment than men, especially for non-consensual image sharing. Women also prefer most platform responses compared to men, especially removing content and banning users; however, women are less favorable towards payment as a response. Addressing global gender-based violence online requires understanding how women experience online harms and how they wish for it to be addressed. This is especially important given that the people who build and govern technology are not typically those who are most likely to experience online harms.

description: Eye injuries constitute a significant cause of preventable lifelong visual impairment or blindness. It is important to identify the context in which these injuries occur to develop intervention programs to reduce the incidence and severity of injury. To evaluate the nature, external cause, place of occurrence and incidence rate of eye injuries treated at hospitals in Western Australia. Retrospective, population-based study of patients presenting to all emergency departments or admitted to hospital with primary or secondary eye injuries between 2005 and 2014. The combined incidence rate of eye injuries requiring tertiary care was 278 per 100 000 person-years (95% CI 276–280). Significantly more males (79%, 44 569) presented to emergency departments (p < 0.001), and most injuries involved the cornea and conjunctiva (83%). The injury incidence rate was 248 per 100 000 person-years (95% CI 246–250). A total of 2823 and 3951 individuals were admitted to hospital for a primary or secondary eye injury, respectively. The most frequent primary diagnosis on admission was contusion (19%). Assault (24%) was the most common cause of injury requiring inpatient treatment. Indigenous individuals were hospitalised for an eye injury at a rate of 109 per 100 000 person-years (95% CI 102–116), compared to 27 (95% CI 26–27) for non-Indigenous individuals. Each year was associated with an increase in the mean number of eye injuries (7% and 5% for emergency department and hospital admission data, respectively). Indigenous individuals and males experience eye injuries requiring tertiary management disproportionately. Indigenous female patients were conspicuously affected by eye injuries. Remedial intervention strategies should incorporate violence prevention as assault is a significant cause of eye injury.

description: В современном российском и не только в российском обществе потребления ухудшается отношение к науке, что сопровождается возрождением антинауки – веры в астрологию, магию и т.п. В статье рассматриваются причины этих процессов. Наука и религия являются соперничающими культурными индустриями, которые формируют мировоззрение людей. В связи с попытками примирить теологию и светское образование в современной России автор стремится показать несовместимость научного мировоззрения с верой в сверхъестественное. В статье
рассматривается понятие научного мировоззрения как определённый вид философского мировоззрения, альтернативный религиозно-философскому, критикуется получившая распространение позиция, что атеизм – это вид религиозной веры. Научное мировоззрение предполагает космоцентризм, так как философским основанием науки является убеждение в том, что все события в мире есть результат действия законов
природы. Учитывая развитие науки, автор критикует возможность преодолеть конфликт между научным мировоззрением и религией с помощью средневековой религиозно-философской теории двойственной истины, согласно которой сферы науки и религии не пересекаются.

description: We investigate the fragmentation process of solid materials with crystalline and amorphous phases using the discrete element method. Damage initiates inside spherical samples above the contact zone in a region where the circumferential stress field is tensile. Cracks initiated in this region grow to form meridional planes. If the collision energy exceeds a critical value which depends on the material's internal structure, cracks reach the sample surface resulting in fragmentation. We show that this primary fragmentation mechanism is very robust with respect to the internal structure of the material. For all configurations, a sharp transition from the damage to the fragmentation regime is observed, with smaller critical collision energies for crystalline samples. The mass distribution of the fragments follows a power law for small fragments with an exponent that is characteristic for the branching merging process of unstable cracks. Moreover this exponent depends only on the dimensionally of the system and not on the micro structure.

description: Optometrists are well-placed to provide helpful advice and guidance to patients with visual impairment but may not know how best to do this. The availability of a reliable and comprehensive conversational agent to which patients could be directed would be a valuable supplement to clinical intervention. The Artificial Intelligence in Visual Impairment (AIVI) Study is a proof-of-concept study to investigate whether ongoing information support for people with visual impairment (VI) can be provided by a dialogue-based digital assistant. The phase of the AIVI Study reported here explored the different dimensions of the information-seeking behaviour of individuals with VI: in particular, their need for information, the methods for obtaining it at present, and their views on the use of a digital assistant. Qualitative data were collected from 120 UK-resident adults who responded to an online survey who were either visually impaired (86.7%), a carer or family member of someone with VI (5.8%), or a professional involved in the support of those with VI (7.5%). In addition, 10 in-depth 1:1 semi-structured interviews explored opinions in more detail. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the findings. Analysis of information needs identified 7 major themes: ocular condition; equipment, technology and adaptations; daily activities; registration; finance/employment; emotional support; and support for the carer. Participants used a wide variety of methods to access information from many sources and explained the barriers to access. Participants accepted the merit of a dialogue system aiding in a goal-directed search for specific information, but expressed reservations about its abilities in other areas, such as providing emotional support. Participants highlighted potential benefits, limitations, and requirements in using a digital assistant to access information about VI. These findings will inform the design of dialogue systems for populations with VI.

description: The increasing number of anti-trafficking organizations and funding for anti-trafficking services have greatly out-paced evaluative efforts resulting in critical knowledge gaps, which have been underscored by recent recommendations for the development of greater evaluation capacity in the anti-trafficking field. In response to these calls, this paper reports on the development and feasibility testing of an evaluation protocol to generate practice-based evidence for an anti-trafficking transitional housing program. Guided by formative evaluation and evaluability frameworks, our practitioner-researcher team had two aims: (1) develop an evaluation protocol, and (2) test the protocol with a feasibility trial. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of only a few reports concerning anti-trafficking housing program evaluations, particularly one with many foreign-national survivors as evaluation participants. In addition to presenting evaluation findings, the team herein documented decisions and strategies related to conceptualizing, designing, and conducting the evaluation to offer approaches for future evaluations.

description: The recently approved NASA K2 mission has the potential to multiply by an order of magnitude the number of short-period transiting planets found by Kepler around bright and low-mass stars, and to revolutionise our understanding of stellar variability in open clusters. However, the data processing is made more challenging by the reduced pointing accuracy of the satellite, which has only two functioning reaction wheels. We present a new method to extract precise light curves from K2 data, combining list-driven, soft-edged aperture photometry with a star-by-star correction of systematic effects associated with the drift in the roll-angle of the satellite about its boresight. The systematics are modelled simultaneously with the stars' intrinsic variability using a semi-parametric Gaussian process model. We test this method on a week of data collected during an engineering test in January 2014, perform checks to verify that our method does not alter intrinsic variability signals, and compute the precision as a function of magnitude on long-cadence (30-min) and planetary transit (2.5-hour) timescales. In both cases, we reach photometric precisions close to the precision reached during the nominal Kepler mission for stars fainter than 12th magnitude, and between 40 and 80 parts per million for brighter stars. These results confirm the bright prospects for planet detection and characterisation, asteroseismology and stellar variability studies with K2. Finally, we perform a basic transit search on the light curves, detecting 2 bona fide transit-like events, 7 detached eclipsing binaries and 13 classical variables.

description: The support measures of a convex body are a common generalization of the curvature measures and the area measures. With respect to the Hausdorff metric on the space of convex bodies, they are weakly continuous. We provide a quantitative improvement of this result, by establishing a Hölder estimate for the support measures in terms of the bounded Lipschitz metric, which metrizes the weak convergence. Specializing the result to area measures yields a reverse counterpart to earlier stability estimates, concerning Minkowski's existence theorem for convex bodies with given area measure.

description: The federal Department of Education?s Office of Special Education Programs has adopted a Results Driven Accountability (RDA) framework to support State Education Agencies (SEAs) in improving results for students with disabilities. RDA directed SEAs to focus on measurable outcomes. A leadership team in a large mid-western state in the United States partnered with an Institute of Higher Education implementation science purveyor team to systematically apply a particular approach, the Active Implementation Frameworks (AIFs), to build capacity, effectively implement, and scale an evidence-based program, Check & Connect, to improve statewide graduation rates for Black and American Indian students with disabilities. The presented case example illustrates how the SEA partners with local education agencies? district teams to continuously measure and manage changes in (a) system capacity and (b) practice fidelity to improve graduation rate outcomes. Application of the AIFs in education, measured implementation progress and preliminary outcome data, and implications for policy for individuals with disabilities are discussed.

description: First quantum computers very recently have demonstrated "quantum supremacy" or "quantum advantage": Executing a computation that would have been impossible on a classical machine. Today's quantum computers follow the NISQ paradigm: They exhibit error rates that are much higher than in conventional electronics and have insufficient quantum resources to support powerful error correction protocols. This raises questions which relevant computations are within the reach of NISQ architectures. Several "NISQ-era algorithms" are assumed to match the specifics of such computers; for instance, variational optimisers are based on intertwining relatively short quantum and classical computations, thus maximizing the chances of success. This paper will critically assess the promise and challenge of NISQ computing. What has this field achieved so far, what are we likely to achieve soon, where do we have to be skeptical and wait for the advent of larger-scale fully error-corrected architectures?

description: We prove that the combinatorial concept of a special matching can be used to compute the parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of doubly laced Coxeter groups and of dihedral Coxeter groups. In particular, for this class of groups which includes all Weyl groups, our results generalize to the parabolic setting the main results in [Advances in Math. {202} (2006), 555-601]. As a consequence, the parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial indexed by $u$ and $v$ depends only on the poset structure of the Bruhat interval from the identity element to $v$ and on which elements of that interval are minimal coset representatives.

description: Quality improvement is paramount for patient safety. Leading change for quality improvement requires nurses with knowledge and skills beyond the clinical management of patients. In this study, staff nurses working in hospitals throughout Alabama were asked via an online survey to rate their quality improvement knowledge and skills using the new 10-item Quality Improvement Self-Efficacy Inventory (QISEI) and their perceptions of the nursing work environment using the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index. Nurses (N = 886) rated the basic quality improvement items higher than the more advanced items. Several nurse characteristics and the nursing work environment were associated with nurses’ ratings of their quality improvement knowledge and skills. Educators and administrators in health care organizations can use QISEI to gauge their nurses’ knowledge and skills and then develop continuous professional development opportunities aimed at improving quality and safety competencies.

description: The high Arctic (north of 80°N) in summer is a region characterized by clean air and low abundances of preexisting particles. Marine colloidal nanogels i.e., assembled dissolved organic carbohydrate polymer networks have recently been confirmed to be present in both airborne particles and cloud water over the Arctic pack ice area. A novel route to atmospheric nanoparticles that appears to be operative in the high Arctic is suggested. It involves the injection of marine granular nanogels into the air from evaporating fog and cloud droplets, and is supported by observational and theoretical evidence obtained from a case study. Statistical analysis of the aerosol size distribution data recorded in the years 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2008 classified 75 nanoparticle events - covering 17% of the observed time period - as nanogel-type events, characterized by the spontaneous appearance of several distinct size bands below 200 nm diameter.

description: While the embedded security research community aims to protect systems by reducing analog sensor side channels, our work argues that sensor side channels can be beneficial to defenders. This work introduces the general problem of synthesizing virtual sensors from existing circuits to authenticate physical sensors' measurands. We investigate how to apply this approach and present a preliminary analytical framework and definitions for sensor side channels. To illustrate the general concept, we provide a proof-of-concept case study to synthesize a virtual inertial measurement unit from a camera motion side channel. Our work also provides an example of applying this technique to protect facial recognition against silicon mask spoofing attacks. Finally, we discuss downstream problems of how to ensure that side channels benefit the defender, but not the adversary, during authentication.

description: Neural chat translation (NCT) aims to translate a cross-lingual chat between speakers of different languages. Existing context-aware NMT models cannot achieve satisfactory performances due to the following inherent problems: 1) limited resources of annotated bilingual dialogues; 2) the neglect of modelling conversational properties; 3) training discrepancy between different stages. To address these issues, in this paper, we propose a multi-task multi-stage transitional (MMT) training framework, where an NCT model is trained using the bilingual chat translation dataset and additional monolingual dialogues. We elaborately design two auxiliary tasks, namely utterance discrimination and speaker discrimination, to introduce the modelling of dialogue coherence and speaker characteristic into the NCT model. The training process consists of three stages: 1) sentence-level pre-training on large-scale parallel corpus; 2) intermediate training with auxiliary tasks using additional monolingual dialogues; 3) context-aware fine-tuning with gradual transition. Particularly, the second stage serves as an intermediate phase that alleviates the training discrepancy between the pre-training and fine-tuning stages. Moreover, to make the stage transition smoother, we train the NCT model using a gradual transition strategy, i.e., gradually transiting from using monolingual to bilingual dialogues. Extensive experiments on two language pairs demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed training framework.

description: Context. The evolution of amorphous hydrocarbon materials, a-C(:H), principally resulting from ultraviolet (UV) photon absorption- induced processing, are likely at the heart of the variations in the observed properties of dust in the interstellar medium. Aims. The consequences of the size-dependent and compositional variations in a-C(:H), from aliphatic-rich a-C:H to aromatic-rich a-C, are studied within the context of the interstellar dust extinction and emission. Methods. Newly-derived optical property data for a-C(:H) materials, combined with that for an amorphous forsterite-type silicate with iron nano-particle inclusions, a-SilFe, are used to explore dust evolution in the interstellar medium. Results. We present a new dust model that consists of a power-law distribution of small a-C grains and log-normal distributions of large a-SilFe and a-C(:H) grains. The model, which is firmly anchored by laboratory-data, is shown to quite naturally explain the variations in the infrared (IR) to far-ultraviolet (FUV) extinction, the 217 nm UV bump, the IR absorption and emission bands and the IR-mm dust emission. Conclusions. The major strengths of the new model are its inherent simplicity and built-in capacity to follow dust evolution in interstellar media. We show that mantle accretion in molecular clouds and UV photo-processing in photo-dominated regions are likely the major drivers of dust evolution.

description: Evidence has demonstrated that immediate HIV treatment initiation upon a positive HIV test, referred to as Test and Treat, can help people living with HIV live longer, healthier lives and prevent HIV transmission. Although Tanzania adopted the evidence-based Test and Treat strategy since 2016, men were not being adequately reached for HIV services. A national campaign was launched to promote the new HIV services with a focus on men. To inform the development and implementation of the campaign, we conducted formative audience insights-gathering (AIG) sessions to assess facilitators and barriers to accessing HIV Test and Treat services and inform the concepts and materials for the campaign. Qualitative AIG interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with 54 people who were unaware or aware of their HIV status and currently or not currently on treatment, as well as health workers. Facilitators and barriers included a fear of testing positive, the desire to belong, control their narratives, and reinvent themselves to achieve their dreams and live a happy life. The campaign played off a My Happiness! creative concept to position antiretroviral therapy (ART) as a solution to fears around what life would be like after a positive HIV diagnosis. The development and implementation of the campaign were informed by the AIG sessions and national stakeholders, leading to strong partners? buy-in that supported the scale-up of the ongoing campaign from 12 to 26 regions via the collaborative efforts of government, donors, and implementing partners.

description: В статье анализируется художественная практика голливудского фильма ужасов, посвящённая рассмотрению острейшего онтологического конфликта цивилизации с природой. Он по сути является квинтэссенцией неразрешимого противоречия, связанного с повсеместным игнорирование человека и его внутреннего
мира. Кинематографические образы являются результатом обобщения практики разрушения человеком окружающей среды, которые приобретают особую идеологическую ценность в контексте обостряющейся поляризации социального пространства.

description: We present new Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of a sample of eight radio-quiet Gamma-ray pulsars detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope. For all eight pulsars we identify the X-ray counterpart, based on the X-ray source localization and the best position obtained from Gamma-ray pulsar timing. For PSR J2030+4415 we found evidence for an about 10 arcsec-long pulsar wind nebula. Our new results consolidate the work from Marelli et al. 2011 and confirm that, on average, the Gamma-ray--to--X-ray flux ratios (Fgamma/Fx) of radio-quiet pulsars are higher than for the radio-loud ones. Furthermore, while the Fgamma/Fx distribution features a single peak for the radio-quiet pulsars, the distribution is more dispersed for the radio-loud ones, possibly showing two peaks. We discuss possible implications of these different distributions based on current models for pulsar X-ray emission.

description: Let $X$ be a quasi-compact algebraic stack with quasi-finite and separated diagonal. We classify the thick $\otimes$-ideals of $\mathsf{D}_{\mathrm{qc}}(X)^c$. If $X$ is tame, then we also compute the Balmer spectrum of the $\otimes$-triangulated category of perfect complexes on $X$. In addition, if $X$ admits a coarse space $X_{\mathrm{cs}}$, then we prove that the Balmer spectra of $X$ and $X_{\mathrm{cs}}$ are naturally isomorphic.

description: This paper aimed to examine the association between digital sexual violence (threat to post or nonconsensual posting of sexually explicit media) and suicidal (ideation, planning, and attempt) and non-suicidal self-harm behavior. The data for the current analysis come from an online sample of sexual minority adolescents (aged 14-17) recruited from across the United States (n=970). Multivariate logistic regressions were used to examine the association between digital sexual violence with suicide (ideation, planning, and attempt) and self-harm. In the sample, 9.1% of participants reported being threatened to have their sexually explicit media posted without their consent, while 6.5% reported their sexually explicit media had been posted without their consent. Threat to post sexually explicit media without consent was associated with higher odds of reporting suicidal ideation (odds ratio [OR]=1.88), suicide plan (OR=2.12), suicide attempt (OR=3.56), and self-harm (OR=1.96). While nonconsensual posting of sexually explicit media was associated with higher odds of reporting suicidal ideation (OR=1.82) and suicide attempt (OR=2.20). All models controlled for age, assigned sex at birth, sexual identity, and race and ethnicity. These findings underscore important considerations and future research directions. Given the associations between digital sexual violence and suicide risk among sexual minority adolescents, suicide prevention efforts with adolescents must be responsive to the needs of sexual minority adolescents and the changing landscape of sexual violence in digital spaces. Future research should examine the trajectories of digital sexual violence among adolescents and comparative analyses by demographic subgroups to better understand changes in these processes over time.

description: We investigate braneworlds modeled by topological solutions that arise from the so-called Cuscuta-Galileon model. We develop a first order framework and illustrate our procedure with the scalar field having the well-known hyperbolic tangent profile. We find conditions that must be imposed to the parameters of the model in order to have solutions connecting minima of the potential, with the brane constrained to interpolate Minkowski and anti de Sitter geometries. We also find solutions where the brane only interpolates anti de Sitter geometry. In both cases, the gravity sector of the brane is stable against small fluctuations of the metric.

Early Birds in Elementary School? School Start Times and Outcomes for Younger Students

name: Bastian, K.C.
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Ltd
Year: 2022

description: While research supports later start times for secondary schools, there is little evidence regarding start times for elementary schools. We address this gap with a statewide examination of elementary schools and a quasi-experimental analysis of an urban district that recently changed its elementary start times. We find that earlier start times predict less sleep for students. Regarding academic outcomes, our estimates are small in magnitude and suggest that earlier elementary start times have near-zero effects. Earlier start times predict a slight increase in absences and modestly higher math scores, especially for traditionally disadvantaged students. In districts that need to stagger start times, it may be advisable for elementary schools to start earlier to accommodate later secondary school start times.

description: Background & aimsEcholalia, the repetition of one's or others? utterances, is a behavior present in typical development, autism spectrum disorder, aphasias, Tourette's, and other clinical groups. Despite the broad range of conditions in which echolalia can occur, it is considered primarily through a disorder-specific lens, which limits a full understanding of the behavior.MethodEmpirical and review papers on echolalia across disciplines and etiologies were considered for this narrative review. Literatures were condensed into three primary sections, including echolalia presentations, neural mechanisms, and treatment approaches.Main contributionEcholalia, commonly observed in autism and other developmental conditions, is assessed, observed, and treated in a siloed fashion, which reduces our collective knowledge of this communication difference. Echolalia should be considered as a developmental, transdiagnostic, and communicative phenomenon. Echolalia is commonly considered as a communicative behavior, but little is known about its neural etiologies or efficacious treatments.ConclusionsThis review is the first to synthesize echolalia from a transdiagnostic perspective, which allows for the direct comparisons across and within clinical groups to inform assessment, treatment, conceptualization, and research recommendations.ImplicationsConsidering echolalia transdiagnostically highlights the lack of consensus on operationalization and measurement across and within disorders. Clinical and research future directions need to prioritize consistent definitions of echolalia, which can be used to derive accurate prevalence estimates. Echolalia should be considered as a communication strategy, used similarly across developmental and clinical groups, with recommended strategies of shaping to increase its effectiveness.
