Bilingual Families Align Their Languages During Naturalistic Interactions: Evidence from Two Bilingual Communities

Author(s): Fibla L; Kosie JE; Tsui RK; Potter CE; Lew-Williams C; Byers-Heinlein K;

Bilingual children learn their languages through rich interactions with caregivers within dynamic family contexts. However, little is known about how families align their two languages to support bilingual acquisition and how this varies across bilingual communities. This study examines language choice alignment across two communities: French-English fami ...

Isatin-pyridine oxime hybrids as potential reactivators of A-242-inhibited acetylcholinesterase

Author(s): Pinto AMV; Bhattacharyya D; da Silva MCJ; Kitagawa DAS; Dos Santos MC; Cavalcante SFA; Islam ST; LaPlante SR; Forgione P; Diz JSF; França TCC;

Three new isatin-pyridine-2-oxime hybrids (AM01-03) were synthesized and experimentally evaluated as reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibited by a surrogate of the nerve agent A-242, in comparison with their 4-oxime isomers previously reported by our research group. Furthermore, the ...

Evaluation and Utilization of Aged Bacteria in MICP Technology

Author(s): Fukue M; Lechowicz Z; Mulligan CN; Takeuchi S; Takeuchi H;

As a response to aging of cultured urease-producing microorganisms, the blending method was examined to obtain the required carbonate production amount using the apparent viability (Rcv) based on previous research. As a result, a significantly higher carbonate content than the amount of CaCl2 2H2O used was produced. Since this trend has been obtained in p ...

Development of an evaporation-driven sampling system for the in situ long-term monitoring of heavy metals in surface water

Author(s): Li X; Ma H; Shi S; Tian X; Nie L; Han X; Sun J; Chen Z; Li J; Chen K;

Non-electrically driven samplers, commonly known as passive samplers, are widely used in surface water monitoring to determine the Time-Weighted Average Concentration (CTWA) of contaminants. In this study, we developed an evaporation-driven sampling system and methodology, comprising an Evaporation-Driven Sampler (EDS) for sampling and its standard versio ...

Understanding school-based rehabilitation services through the lived experiences of children and youth with disabilities: a meta-aggregative review

Author(s): Brushett A; Seguin K; Wong L; McCarry-Taillefer C; Rosenbaum P; Packham T; Campbell W;

Children and youth with disabilities continue to face barriers to accessing quality education, despite education being a key social determinant of health. School-based rehabilitation services (SBRS) include occupational therapy (OT), physiotherapy (PT), and speech-language pathology (SLP) that are delivered within the school context to address these barri ...

Bilingual children s comprehension of code-switching at an uninformative adjective

Author(s): Kremin LV; Jardak A; Lew-Williams C; Byers-Heinlein K;

Bilingual children regularly hear sentences that contain words from both languages, also known as code-switching. Investigating how bilinguals process code-switching is a crucial component in understanding bilingual language acquisition, because young bilinguals experience processing costs and reduced comprehension when encountering code-switched nouns. S ...

Season and city shape urban bioaerosol composition beyond vegetation and socioeconomic gradients

Author(s): Poirier S; Rondeau-Leclaire J; Faticov M; Roy A; Lajeunesse G; Lucier JF; Tardif S; Kembel SW; Ziter C; Laprise C; Paquette A; Girard C; Laforest-Lapointe I;

Urban vegetation varies with socio-economic gradients, as lower-income neighborhoods often host sparser and less diverse green spaces. This disparity may affect respiratory health by influencing exposure to bioaerosols. Understanding the characteristics of this aerobiome could help anticipate ris ...
