Abstract

The Suborbital Imaging Spectrograph for Transition region Irradiance from Nearby Exoplanet host stars (SISTINE) is a rocket-borne ultraviolet (UV) imaging spectrograph designed to probe the radiation environment of nearby stars. SISTINE operates over a bandpass of 98 -- 127 and 130 -- 158 nm, capturing a broad suite of emission lines tracing the full 10$^4$ -- 10$^5$ K formation temperature range critical for reconstructing the full UV radiation field incident on planets orbiting solar-type stars. SISTINE serves as a platform for key technology developments for future ultraviolet observatories. SISTINE operates at moderate resolving power ($R\sim$1500) while providing spectral imaging over an angular extent of $\sim$6', with $\sim$2" resolution at the slit center. The instrument is composed of an f/14 Cassegrain telescope that feeds a 2.1x magnifying spectrograph, utilizing a blazed holographically ruled diffraction grating and a powered fold mirror. Spectra are captured on a large format microchannel plate (MCP) detector consisting of two 113 x 42 mm segments each read out by a cross delay-line anode. Several novel technologies are employed in SISTINE to advance their technical maturity in support of future NASA UV/optical astronomy missions. These include enhanced aluminum lithium fluoride coatings (eLiF), atomic layer deposition (ALD) protective optical coatings, and ALD processed large format MCPs. SISTINE was launched a total of three times with two of the three launches successfully observing targets Procyon A and $\alpha$ Centauri A and B.

3. The Role of Intrinsic Reward in Adolescent Word Learning

Author

Amrita Bains, Annaliese Barber, Tau Nell, Pablo Ripollés, and Saloni Krishnan

Abstract

Relatively little work has focused on why we are motivated to learn words. In adults, recent experiments have shown that intrinsic reward signals accompany successful word learning from context. In addition, the experience of reward facilitated long-term memory for words. In adolescence, developmental changes are seen in reward and motivation systems as well as in reading and language systems. Here, in the face of this developmental change, we ask whether adolescents experience reward from word learning, and how the reward and memory benefit seen in adults is modulated by age. We used a naturalistic reading paradigm, which involved extracting novel word meanings from sentence context without the need for explicit feedback. By exploring ratings of enjoyment during the learning phase, as well as recognition memory for words a day later, we assessed whether adolescents show the same reward and learning patterns as adults. We tested 345 children between the ages of 10-18 (N > 84 in each 2-year age-band) using this paradigm. We found evidence for our first prediction: children aged 10-18 report greater enjoyment for successful word learning. However, we did not find evidence for age-related change in this developmental period, or memory benefits. This work gives us greater insight into the process of language acquisition and sets the stage for further investigations of intrinsic reward in typical and atypical development.

Abstract

The Far- and Lyman-Ultraviolet Imaging Demonstrator (FLUID) is a rocket-borne arcsecond-level ultraviolet (UV) imaging instrument covering four bands between 92 -- 193 nm. FLUID will observe nearby galaxies to find and characterize the most massive stars that are the primary drivers of the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies, and the co-evolution of the surrounding galactic environment. The FLUID short wave channel is designed to suppress efficiency at Lyman-$\alpha$ (121.6 nm), while enhancing the reflectivity of shorter wavelengths. Utilizing this technology, FLUID will take the first ever images of local galaxies isolated in the Lyman ultraviolet (90 -- 120 nm). As a pathfinder instrument, FLUID will employ and increase the TRL of band-selecting UV coatings, and solar-blind UV detector technologies including microchannel plate and solid state detectors; technologies prioritized in the 2022 NASA Astrophysical Biennial Technology Report. These technologies enable high throughput and high sensitivity observations in the four co-aligned UV imaging bands that make up the FLUID instrument. We present the design of FLUID, status on the technology development, and results from initial assembly and calibration of the FLUID instrument., Comment: Accepted to JATIS, March 18, 2024

Abstract

Abstract Purpose Monoclonal antibodies have made an immense contribution to the treatment of various human diseases. We aimed at investigating an affordable treatment option for veterinary patients with corneal neovascularization by adding the preservative benzalkonium chloride (BAC) to bevacizumab (Avastin®) for usage in multidose containers. A comprehensive analytical similarity assessment of preserved and unpreserved bevacizumab after dilution and storage was carried out. Methods Diluted and preserved bevacizumab was analysed at different time points for a 4-week period and compared with unpreserved bevacizumab at the same concentrations at each time point. Native-PAGE, immunoblotting and HP-SEC were used to observe aggregation and degradation. DLS provided information about particle size and dispersity. Bevacizumab quantified by ELISA was conducted to determine its biological activity. Dose response curves and cell migration assays were performed to detect possible toxic effects and determine biological activity and efficacy of the drug using HUVECs. Results Native-PAGE, immunoblotting and HP-SEC analysis did not show any changes or degradation products in the presence of BAC and after storage compared to unpreserved bevacizumab. The overlapping intensity-based particle size distribution obtained from DLS showed similarity in all tested groups and homogeneity was maintained. ELISA accurately detected bevacizumab at different concentrations. HUVECs incubated with preserved or unpreserved bevacizumab showed a comparable effect on cell migration. No decrease in cell viability was detected. Conclusion Equivalence tests demonstrated that bevacizumab is stable after dilution, storage and preservation with BAC. Our study shows that preserved bevacizumab applied in mutidose containers can be considered as a cost-effective alternative to the otherwise single-dose treatments.

Abstract

Abstract Endotypes are characterized by the immunological, inflammatory, metabolic, and remodelling pathways that explain the mechanisms underlying the clinical presentation (phenotype) of a disease. Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe blistering disease caused by COL7A1 pathogenic variants. Although underscored by animal studies, the endotypes of human RDEB are poorly understood. To fill this gap, we apply systems immunology approaches using single-cell high-dimensional techniques to capture the signature of peripheral immune cells and the diversity of metabolic profiles in RDEB adults, sampled outside of any opportunistic infection and active cancer. Our study, demonstrates the particular inflammation and immunity characteristics of RDEB adults, with activated / effector T and dysfunctional natural killer cell signatures, concomitant with an overall pro-inflammatory lipid signature. Artificial intelligence prediction models and principal component analysis stress that RDEB is not solely confined to cutaneous issues but has complex systemic endotypes marked by immune dysregulation and hyperinflammation. By characterising the phenotype-endotype association in RDEB adults, our study lays the groundwork for translational interventions that could by lessening inflammation, alleviate the everlasting suffering of RDEB patients, while awaiting curative genetic therapies.

Abstract

When you preach, you know from experience that what happens in the preaching event is uncontrollable and, therefore, full of mystery. The liturgy and the sermon are part of it and are related to something that happens, but we know this ‘something’ is uncontrollable. Investigation and reflection on resonance in preaching are on the trail of the mystery of the sermon as an event. We know that something mysterious happens when we preach that cannot be controlled by the preachers or listeners. In this article, I discuss the concept of uncontrollability in Hartmut Rosa’s scholarly contributions and mystery in the work of John de Gruchy. I then discuss four Christmas sermons of the Archbishop of Cape Town, Thabo Makgoba, in search of the mystery of uncontrollability. In trying to understand preaching that resonates, I ask: How does the preaching event reflect the aspects of uncontrollability and transcendence in Archbishop Makgoba’s sermons? Archbishop Makgoba is known for his thought-provoking sermons that often delve into complex issues. The mystery in his sermons lies in his ability to explore profound spiritual concepts and connect them to everyday life. He uses metaphorical language to convey deeper meanings, leaving room for interpretation and contemplation. The mystery in his sermons also stems from his engagement with the unknown aspects of faith and the divine, encouraging his audience to grapple with the mysteries of existence.

Abstract

Background: With fewer than 20 cases of extragonadal teratomas since 1929, treatment guidelines remain unclear. Case Presentation: A 27-year-old nulliparous female presented with vaginal bleeding and malodorous discharge. Transvaginal ultrasound and pelvic MRI revealed a 4 cm prolapsing echogenic cervical mass that was FDG avid on PET CT. Biopsy confirmed a grade 1 polypoid immature teratoma arising from either the uterus or cervix. She underwent a total laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, omentectomy, and primary optimal tumor debulking to R0. Bilaterally ovaries appeared grossly normal and were preserved. On final pathology, the patient was staged using FIGO ovarian cancer criteria as Stage IIIA2 grade 2 immature teratoma of the uterus. The patient received three cycles of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin. The patient is 11 months post-surgery and currently undergoing surveillance. Conclusion: Given the rarity of uterine immature teratomas, management of this case was extrapolated from existing recommendations for immature ovarian teratomas. Unlike in prior case reports where surgical approach was via an exploratory laparotomy, our patient underwent optimal debulking via minimally invasive surgery with ovarian preservation and adjuvant chemotherapy. Given the chemosensitive nature of germ cell tumors, further fertility sparing options for extragonadal immature teratoma may be further explored.

Abstract

AbstractCapital inflows, such as foreign aid, can serve as a means to enhance infrastructure development in developing countries. This suggests that foreign aid might have an impact on the level of industrialization in African nations. While existing studies indicate that foreign aid can affect the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector by appreciating the real exchange rate, the veracity of this claim relies on empirical evidence. This paper explores the influence of aid on manufacturing value added using time-series data spanning from 1990 to 2018 for 27 African countries. Employing a panel vector autoregression technique and generating associated impulse response functions, the study scrutinizes the interactions between foreign aid and manufacturing. The analysis is conducted on both the full dataset and subsamples disaggregated based on the income levels of countries. The results indicate that foreign aid acts as a stimulus for manufacturing, primarily through a sustained depreciation of the real exchange rate. This finding holds true for both the overall dataset and the subset of low-income countries. The study attributes this phenomenon to the strategic utilization of aid to enhance infrastructure, leading to a reduction in the price of non-tradables relative to tradables. Consequently, this enhances the profitability and output capacity of the manufacturing sector in African countries. In essence, the results suggest that foreign aid plays a role in influencing or stimulating industrialization in African countries. The study concludes with a discussion on the implications of these findings for industrial policy in African nations.

Abstract

This article aims to explore ecumenical tours as one example of glocal learning and as a case in point. Making use of the central concepts of embodied and hybrid pedagogies as hermeneutical lenses, the main research question is: Does the exposure of students through ecumenical tours, as part of the Master of Divinity programme, foster embodied and hybrid pedagogies, and if so, in what ways? Factors at play in ecumenical exposure include the content of the programme, the diversity of the student population, as well as the reflective and participatory practices of teaching, learning, and assessing in lived faith contexts. The article especially emphasises a one-day pilgrimage among the lived faith practices.

Abstract

Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in various physiological and pathological conditions. However, research in equine angiogenesis is relative limited, necessitating the development of suitable in-vitro models. To effectively analyze angiogenesis in-vitro, it is essential to target the specific cells responsible for this process, namely endothelial cells. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are one of the most used in vitro models for studying angiogenesis in humans. Serving as an equivalent to HUVECs, we present a comprehensive isolation protocol for equine umbilical vein endothelial cells (EqUVECs) with relatively minimal requirements, thereby enhancing accessibility for researchers. Umbilical cords obtained from five foals were used to isolate endothelial cells, followed by morphological and immunohistochemical identification. Performance of the cells in various assays commonly used in angiogenesis research was studied. Additionally, EqUVEC expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was assessed using ELISA. EqUVECs exhibited endothelial characteristics, forming a homogeneous monolayer with distinctive morphology. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed positive expression of key endothelial markers including von Willebrand factor (vWF), CD31, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2). Furthermore, performance assessments in in-vitro assays demonstrated the viability, proliferation, migration, tube formation and VEGF-expression capabilities of EqUVECs. The findings suggest that EqUVECs are a promising in-vitro model for studying equine angiogenesis, offering a foundation for further investigations into equine-specific vascular processes and therapeutic interventions.

Abstract

AimsExercise-induced cellular stress and sterile inflammation are of increasing interest. ASC specks are a component of the intracellular NLRP3-inflammasome and can be released into the blood. For example, serum ASC specks are increased after marathon running. We therefore tested whether ASC specks are potentially associated with the individual response to physical training and cardiopulmonary capacity.MethodsWe performed a prospective study in 45 healthy athletes. Blood samples were taken before and after cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). ASC speck concentrations were quantitated using flow cytometry.ResultsBaseline ASC speck levels correlated with clinical parameters of body composition (height, weight, BMI) and parameters of cardiopulmonary performance (peak VO2, peak oxygen pulse, heart rate after exercise). Athletes with lowest baseline ASC speck concentrations have a significantly lower BMI (22.0 ± 1.8 vs. 24.9 ± 1.6 kg/m2), higher heart rate at rest (72 ± 10 vs. 58 ± 10 beats/min), lower peak VO2 (2692 ± 629 vs. 3404 ± 747 mL/min) and lower peak oxygen pulse (15.6 ± 3.4 vs. 20.7 ± 3.5 mL/heart rate). Overall, ASC speck concentrations showed no significant change after CPET (7.0 ± 4.5 vs. 8.0 ± 5.4 ASC specks/µL, p = 0.3). However, subgroup analysis revealed a significant increase in circulating ASC specks in athletes with the lowest baseline values (2.37 ± 0.84 vs. 8.43 ± 7.52 ASC specks/µL, p < 0.05). Athletes with an increase in ASC speck concentrations in response to CPET had a lower peak oxygen pulse compared to those with a decrease (17.1 ± 4.2 vs. 19.8 ± 4.1, p < 0.05).ConclusionLow ASC speck baseline values as well as an increase in response to exercise are associated with lower peak oxygen pulse in healthy athletes.

33. Decolonising an Introductory Course in Practical Theology and Missiology: Some Tentative Reflections on Shifting Identities

Author

Nell, Ian A.

Abstract

Background: The shifting identity of a first-year class over a decade in terms of demography and representation, inevitably led me to reflect deeply on what I teach them and how I facilitate the learning process. I had to pay close attention to decolonisation and contextualisation. The basic research question is: How does one reflect on the shifting identity of a first-year class and how does one decolonise a first-year module in Practical Theology and Missiology? Aim: To answer the research question by taking the following route. Firstly, aspects of the changed context and shifting identity will be discussed and secondly, attention will be given to what is meant by decolonisation, with specific reference to the curriculum. Thirdly, the focus will be on a proposed curriculum that uses a theo-dramatic approach. Fourthly, I reflect on the learning process (pedagogy) and how it also contributes to a shift in my own identity. Setting: The research is set against the backdrop of changes that took place over the last two decades in Higher Education in South Africa including the commodification of higher education, the lack of adequate financial resources and the #FeesMustFall movement. Methods: As the research design, a case study is selected for the study project. Results: The development of a new pedagogy. Conclusion: With this contribution I attempted to reflect, in the light of the changing profile of the class composition of a first-year module in Practical Theology and Missiology in terms of demography (BCI students), to what extent it also leads to a shift of identities.

34. A Multilevel Analysis of Economic Literacy among International Students: Implications for an International Assessment of Heterogeneous Vulnerable Learner Groups

Author

Reinhardt, Franziska, Zlatkin-Troitschanskaia, Olga, Happ, Roland, and Nell-Müller, Sarah

Abstract

International student mobility has increased in the past years. The inclusion of a highly heterogeneous group of students requires updated recruitment and admission strategies. A particularly vulnerable group of international students are refugees, who have an exceptionally high risk of dropping out of their studies. We present an entrance assessment of incoming international students from 77 countries who are at the beginning of their studies in Germany. Based on this unique sample, we examine (i) whether there are systematic country-specific effects on the economic literacy of beginning students of business and economics and (ii) whether refugee students differ from the group of international students. The results show that refugee students have a higher level of economic literacy although their country-specific prerequisites are worse. Hence, the results highlight the high relevance of an international assessment of heterogeneous vulnerable learner groups to promote their integration into the increasingly internationalized higher education sector.

35. A Case Study of Nonresponse Bias Analysis in Educational Assessment Surveys

Author

Si, Yajuan, Little, Roderick J. A., Mo, Ya, and Sedransk, Nell

Abstract

Nonresponse bias is a widely prevalent problem for data on education. We develop a ten-step exemplar to guide nonresponse bias analysis (NRBA) in cross-sectional studies and apply these steps to the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-2011. A key step is the construction of indices of nonresponse bias based on proxy pattern-mixture models for survey variables of interest. A novel feature is to characterize the strength of evidence about nonresponse bias contained in these indices, based on the strength of the relationship between the characteristics in the nonresponse adjustment and the key survey variables. Our NRBA improves the existing methods by incorporating both missing at random and missing not at random mechanisms, and all analyses can be done straightforwardly with standard statistical software.

Abstract

Background: The World Health Organization has updated its classification of haematolymphoid tumours to the new 5th edition. The International Consensus Classification is another group that has developed a separate classification system with similar but conflicting approaches. This led to a debate among haematologists about which classification system is more appropriate for clinical use. This article examines and compares these contrasting and concurring classifications, and provides insight into the utility of each system. Methods: Journal articles pertaining to WHO-HAEM4R, WHO-HAEM5 and ICC were searched for using the MEDLINE database, from November 2022 to November 2023. Original research articles and reviews were selected to compile this review. Results: The classification systems share many similarities with minor name changes and subgrouping. There are few instances where diagnostic grouping differs between the classifications, which could have clinical implications regarding treatment and enrolment in clinical trials. Conclusion: There is universal agreement about the need for objective criteria for the classification of haematolymphoid tumours. As a result, there have been considerable strides in the classification with regard to morphologic, immunophenotypic, molecular and cytogenetic characterisation. It is reassuring to have a stepwise approach to diagnosis, allowing developing countries to make appropriate diagnoses. Contribution: Harmonisation is needed for a universal diagnostic system for the benefit of the patient. Both classification systems have merit and either could be adopted by individual institutions at present. The authors appeal for interim advocacy measures to assure access to the specific diagnostic investigations in poorly resourced societies, pending more permanent and sustainable access.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the disposable diaper usage, disposal practices and quantity estimation in a specified rural setting within a developing, sub-Saharan country, South Africa. Quantitative and qualitative data collection methods were used to collect primary data, which included survey research, focus group discussions, participatory thematic mapping, illegal dumping mapping and member checking. Most diapers end up within the natural receiving environment due to a lack of formalised waste management service provision. Dumping hotspots are water courses and streams. On average, each infant generates 4.47 diapers per day, while an average of 158,154 and 34,493 total diapers are generated daily within Bushbuckridge and Maruleng, respectively. High unemployment and grant-dependency rates characterise the study area, and households often spend the majority of child support grants to purchase diapers. Residents were willing to use a diaper disposal point and are not opposed to incineration. This study forms a comprehensive baseline to determine the feasibility of disposable diaper beneficiation options in rural areas.

44. Speech-Language Pathologists' Self-Reported Language Input and Recommendations during Early Intervention

Author

Maltman, Nell, Lorang, Emily, Venker, Courtney, and Sterling, Audra

Abstract

This study examined the extent to which early intervention (EI) speech-language pathologists (SLPs) use and recommend language input strategies for caregivers of children with language delays and the child factors associated with these decisions. Participants included 213 SLPs who completed an online survey. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, Friedman's analyses of variance, and Spearman correlations were used to determine the extent to which EI SLPs used and recommended language input, child factors that influenced recommendations and input, and relationships between SLPs' self-reported strategies and recommendations to caregivers. EI SLPs reported recommending expanding on child utterances more than other strategies. EI SLPs reported using grammatical input more than telegraphic input and recommended grammatical phrases as children made gains in spoken language. Language strategies used by SLPs inconsistently aligned with their recommendations to caregivers. Results underscore the importance of evaluating recommendations to caregivers in the context of EI.

45. Multilingual Tasks as a Springboard for Transversal Practice: Teachers' Decisions and Dilemmas in a 'Functional Multilingual Learning' Approach

Author

Foster, Nell, Auger, Nathalie, and Van Avermaet, Piet

Abstract

"Functional Multilingual Learning" ("FML") aims to leverage pupils' full language repertoire in a strategic and transversal way across the curriculum in order to enhance access to conceptual understanding and improve skills in the language of schooling. This linguistic-ethnographic study explores the pedagogical decisions of four teachers in a French-speaking primary school in Brussels, Belgium as they create 'meaningful multilingual tasks' for their linguistically diverse classrooms. Findings indicate that tasks serving symbolic and linguistic functions were the easiest for teachers to conceptualise, and that class-level learning objectives often took precedence over individual objectives. Multilingual scaffolding only occurred in classrooms already functioning extensively within a socio-constructivist paradigm and needed to be supported by a free classroom language policy to be the most effective. Whole-class tasks generated a new sense of linguistic capital but entailed a reframing of the notion of inclusion as they sometimes generated feelings of linguistic insecurity or resulted in limited participation.

46. Shifting Team Culture: An Analysis of Effective Facilitator Moves in Inquiry-Based Reform

Author

Panero, Nell Scharff

Abstract

Existing literature points to skilled facilitation as a key factor in enabling a team's success in the context of inquiry-based reform. There is little understanding, however, of "how" precisely facilitators make the needed difference. This study analyzes the moves of expert facilitators in a team-based reform found to be successful previously. It identifies and explicates five distinct categories of needed moves ("setting expectations," "modeling," "tracking progress," "suggesting remediation," and "releasing") as well as how they gain effectiveness as an interconnected system with moves across categories implemented for multiple purposes simultaneously.

47. Comparison of Linguistic Error Production in Conversational Language among Boys with Fragile X Syndrome + Autism Spectrum Disorder and Autistic Boys

Maltman, Nell, Hilvert, Elizabeth, Friedman, Laura, and Sterling, Audra

Abstract

Purpose: Expressive language impairments are common among school-age boys with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autistic boys. Given the high cooccurrence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among individuals with FXS, cross-condition comparisons can elucidate the specificity of such impairments as they relate to ASD. Language samples can provide fruitful information regarding individuals' grammatical skills in less structured formats relative to standardized measures. This study examined grammatical errors produced during a conversational language sample among 20 boys with FXS and cooccurring ASD (FXS + ASD) and 19 autistic boys matched on ASD severity. Method: Language samples were coded for omissions and errors at the word and utterance levels. Participants' grammatical errors were also compared to separate mental age--matched and mean length of utterance--matched boys from a reference database. Results: Boys with FXS + ASD and autistic boys produced similar rates of errors across all categories. Relative to their matched comparison groups, boys with FXS + ASD and autistic boys produced significantly more omissions during conversation. Conclusions: These findings suggest that omissions may be a unique grammatical marker associated with the ASD phenotype. Further examination of omissions across diagnostic groups would aid in clarifying the specificity of omissions in the language phenotype of ASD.

48. Ready for Read-Alouds: 10 Practices for Book-Sharing with Infants and Toddlers

Author

Vallotton, Claire D., Gardner-Neblett, Nicole, Kim, Loria, Harewood, Tamesha, and Duke, Nell K.

Abstract

Experiences with books before age three predict children's motivation to read (Bus et al., 1995), and can support the development of vocabulary, communication, and symbolic skills (Scarborough, 2001). Sharing books with infants and toddlers is different than reading aloud to older children. For example, it is important to attend more closely to infants' eye gaze and to support toddlers to respond with gestures. This article presents 10 research-based practices for book-sharing with infants and toddlers to foster love of reading and emergent literacy skills. For each practice, we provide examples with preverbal infants and newly verbal toddlers. We encourage teachers of reading to use these practices in their interactions with infants and toddlers and to use their role as literacy leaders to share the practices with childcare providers, families, and others who work with this age group.

49. Bias Starts Early. Let's Start Now: Developing an Anti-Racist, Anti-Bias Book Collection for Infants and Toddlers

Author

Gardner-Neblett, Nicole, Addie, Atiya, Eddie, Anissa L., Chapman, Sandra K., Duke, Nell K., and Vallotton, Claire D.

Abstract

During the first year of life, children begin to develop preferences for their own racial group over others. To interrupt the development of these and other biases during infancy and toddlerhood, educators can use books to promote anti-racist and anti-bias thinking and behaviors in children, while also supporting children's emergent literacy. This article presents criteria for educators to consider as they curate a collection of developmentally appropriate books for infant/toddler classroom libraries. In doing so, educators can expose children to positive representations of others and cultivate respect for children and their communities. We offer practical information about how educators can use these books to promote anti-racist and anti-bias education during the first years of life.

50. 'FMR1' CGG Repeats and Stress Influence Self-Reported Cognitive Functioning in Mothers

Author

Maltman, Nell, DaWalt, Leeann Smith, Hong, Jinkuk, Baker, Mei Wang, Berry-Kravis, Elizabeth M., Brilliant, Murray H., and Mailick, Marsha

Abstract

Variation in the "FMR1" gene may affect aspects of cognition, such as executive function and memory. Environmental factors, such as stress, may also negatively impact cognitive functioning. Participants included 1,053 mothers of children with and without developmental disabilities. Participants completed self-report measures of executive function, memory, and stress (i.e., life events, parenting status), and provided DNA to determine CGG repeat length (ranging from 7 to 192 CGGs). Stress exposure significantly predicted greater self-reported difficulties in executive function and the likelihood of memory problems. Cubic CGG effects independently predicted executive function and memory difficulties, suggesting effects of both genetic variation and environmental stress exposure on cognitive functioning.
