Housing cost burden is stressful for families, interfering with healthy, positive parenting. The present study uses data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study to examine the relationship between housing cost burden and aggressive parenting with children age 3 to age 15. Latent growth curve modeling finds that both types of aggressive parenting behaviors decline on average, but that housing cost burden contributes to significant ongoing risk. Results indicate within-time associations between housing cost burden and psychological aggression and associations both within- and across-time between housing cost burden and physical aggression. Housing cost burden poses a significant risk factor for families, and child maltreatment prevention approaches must incorporate strategies for addressing housing cost burden.
住房成本负担会给家庭带来压力，影响健康、积极的养育方式。本研究利用 "家庭未来与儿童福祉研究"（Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study）的数据，对 3 至 15 岁儿童的住房成本负担与攻击性养育行为之间的关系进行了研究。潜增长曲线建模发现，两种类型的攻击性养育行为平均都会下降，但住房成本负担会导致重大的持续风险。研究结果表明，住房成本负担与心理攻击行为之间存在时间内关联，住房成本负担与身体攻击行为之间存在时间内和时间间关联。住房成本负担是家庭的一个重要风险因素，儿童虐待预防方法必须包含解决住房成本负担的策略。

In this article, I explore connections of reproductive coercion and surveillance care through ethnographic research conducted at two independent abortion clinics in North Carolina from 2018 to 2019. Examining the lived experiences of those who seek abortion care shows how patients navigate surveillance during the clinical encounter to receive care. Patients experiencing reproductive coercion often need to maintain existing social ties, involving the providers as mediators to ensure their preferred outcome. Because patients may only receive care if they express an autonomous decision for abortion, providers often observe and negotiate specific social-relational cues, draw-specific ethical conclusions about patient autonomy, and act accordingly.

People trying to conceive (TTC) often rely on accessible technologies and associated apps to track aspects of menstrual cycles. We explore this growing phenomenon from the perspective of self-testing as surveillance-care for the TTC individual or couple and their current and future fertility and pregnancy. Through an analysis of anonymous fora posts, we argue that surveillance-care provides those TTC with a sense of community, as well as agency and control over inexact bodily processes. Here, surveillance-care enacted on the self is about care for the hoped-for future pregnancy, and resulting baby, as opposed to one's own current health status.

Family planning is heralded as one of the ten most significant contemporary public health achievements, yet it remains underutilized in countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, that might most benefit from it. While substantial strides have been made to address supply-side barriers to modern contraceptive (MC) adoption in these regions, demand-side obstacles like personal or partner opposition are less understood. This study investigates the role of social influence in shaping MC demand in communities with low modern Contraceptive Prevalence Rates (mCPR). Using the Structured Influence Process (SIP) framework, we examine how an individual's social relations and exposure to persuasive messages, either in support of or opposition to MC use, jointly influence their decision to adopt or reject contraceptives. Using survey data from two different Kenyan communities, both exhibiting low mCPR but one relatively higher than the other, we observe that mere exposure to MC users or non-users during free-time interactions is insufficient to sway usage decisions. However, the combination of direct contact with contraceptive users and persuasive messages emerges as a potent force of influence. In the lower mCPR community, only a few types of persuasive messages are circulated, and they are all consistently influential in either encouraging or discouraging MC use. These messages primarily appeal to individuals’ desire to do what is “right” by emphasizing social validation and deference to trusted authorities, or their desire to do what is “liked” by reinforcing interpersonal bonds and reciprocal obligations. In the higher mCPR community, a broader range of persuasive messages effectively promote MC use; however, only those invoking social shame effectively discourage it. These findings highlight a crucial distinction between “prevalent vs. persuasive” messaging: While many persuasive messages may be prevalent (i.e., used often), only a subset are also persuasive. Recognizing which messages are merely pervasive versus those that are genuinely effective is vital for efficiently allocating resources to promote or counter MC use narratives. Leveraging research across network science and persuasion, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of how social influence shapes contraceptive decision-making.

It has been observed since earlier times that those countries that include women in society achieve growth and stability, specifically in the legal profession. Women in Muslim Arab countries, however, face restrictions in their roles because of societal customs and religious interpretations. In these countries, arbitration laws do not explicitly enforce gender limitations on arbitrators, with the only requirement being having a good character and being proficient in the legal profession. However, the declaration of Islam as the state religion in the constitution gives rise to questions about whether the Islam permits the appointment of women as arbitrators.
There are some Muslim scholars who believe that women cannot be appointed as arbitrators, claiming that it is not allowed in Islam. Consequently, arbitration laws that permit such appointments are viewed as unconstitutional, given that Islam is the foundation of constitutional principles. As a result, tensions and conflicts arise between the progressive goals of arbitration laws and the requirement for constitutional principles to align with Islamic laws.
This article employs a doctrinal legal research methodology, analyzing constitutional provisions, arbitration laws, and Shari'ah principles, alongside interpretations of Islamic jurisprudence. It critically examines opposing arguments and highlights the public interest in enabling women's inclusion. Recommendations are presented at the end of the article to bridge the gap between legal and religious views and to encourage the appointment of women as arbitrators to support gender equity and achieve social development.

As a spatial manifestation of the contradictions in the human–land relationship, land–use conflicts (LUCs) have profound impacts on sustainable regional development. LUCs in China are intricately linked to urban land-use efficiency (ULUE). However, the question of how ULUE influences LUCs has not been fully explored. To address this gap, this study uses a spatial econometric model and threshold regression model to investigate the impact of ULUE on LUCs, with a focus on the central ChengduChongqing region of China as a case study. The findings demonstrate a nonlinear relationship between ULUE and LUCs in the region, where the increase in ULUE initially mitigates LUCs but subsequently exacerbates and stimulates LUCs. This relationship is formed by the combined impact of urban factor substitution and factor agglomeration effects: ULUE directly affects LUCs through the factor substitution effect, and economic growth mediates the impact of ULUE on LUCs through the factor agglomeration effect. This study presents a refined and augmented understanding of the correlation between ULUE and LUCs and provides both theoretical and practical guidance for the effective management of LUCs as well as the sustainable utilization of land resources.

America's homicide clearance rate has dropped to a new low, clearing only 52 % of homicides according to the 2020 Uniform Crime Report system. This is the lowest clearance rate on record. While homicide clearance rates receive considerable attention, community-based approaches are far more limited. In this research we examine neighborhood level homicide clearance rates using a large sample of census tracts (n = 15,557) with the goal of capturing the variation in homicide clearances across community characteristics and racial groups. We are particularly interested in understanding how race and structural features of communities may influence homicide clearances overall. Results reveal that higher economic disadvantages and the size of the Black population are associated with lower clearances in predominantly Black, mixed minority and integrated neighborhoods. Additionally, immigration concentration is associated with a lower rate of clearance in predominantly Black and integrated neighborhoods. Trajectory analysis reveals that predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods are also more likely to be characterized by high and rising numbers of unsolved homicides over the past decade.

The health impact of mining remains an insufficiently explored topic. Historical research on silicosis, a common occupational disease caused by inhaling silica dust, is still limited on Chile as well as globally. This study introduces silicosis mortality as a quantitative indicator for analyzing long-term trends on national and regional scales in Chile, despite methodological challenges. It also conducts a qualitative analysis of the impact of technical and institutional changes that accompanied the emergence of large-scale copper mining and labor regulation. The findings indicate that silicosis mortality aligns both temporally and geographically with shifts in the large-scale copper mining sector, highlighting the complex interactions between the state and this economically vital industry. The challenge of managing silicosis exemplifies the dilemma faced by economies reliant on raw material exports in addressing the social consequences of extractivism.

As the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) continues to advance, trade networks among BRI countries have evolved significantly. Understanding development patterns within these trade networks is crucial for promoting further growth. This study adopts a spatiotemporal perspective to analyze the dynamic evolution and driving factors of trade networks among BRI countries, utilizing the Separable Temporal Exponential Random Graph Model (STERGM) and a change point detection model. These methods assess the impact of endogenous structural variables, exogenous edge-level covariates, and exogenous nodal variables on the formation and dissolution of trade networks, as well as on stage-specific changes within these networks. The findings reveal that: (1) around 2017, the trade networks underwent a significant shift, with high-trade-value relationships growing faster than low-trade-value ones, and the networks have a small-world character. (2) China, Turkey, India, and Russia hold central positions in the trade networks, functioning as “bridges” and “hubs”; the prominence of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine has increased, while Thailand and United Arab Emirates have seen a relative decline; (3) geographical proximity, bilateral investment treaties, and shared legal origins foster trade network development, whereas exchange rate volatility and political distance have a negative impact. Countries with high urbanization, large populations, and strong economies are more likely to form trade relations. And these effects on the formation and maintenance of trade relations changed significantly before and after 2017. Therefore, while enhancing their own economic and social development, BRI countries should work to strengthen trade relations by bridging political differences and establishing trade agreements.
