Abstract:
Sleep problems are common in childhood and impact cognitive, psychological and physical wellbeing. The current study investigated the association between sleep problems and internalising and externalising behaviour in 114 school-aged children (5–12 years) from four primary schools in Melbourne, Australia. Data were collected using the Sleep Disorder Inventory for Students to measure sleep and the Conners Behavior Rating Scale to assess behaviour, both by parent report. Hierarchical regression analysis, controlling for socioeconomic status and age, identified moderate associations between sleep problems and emotional distress, aggressive behaviour and hyperactivity/impulsivity. Findings suggest screening for sleep problems in children presenting clinically with behavioural issues is a potentially important clinical practice. Additionally, results support the elaboration of transdiagnostic theory, whereby sleep problems are a common process in both internalising and externalising behaviour in children.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine whether the association between soft drinks consumption and child behaviour problems differs by food security status and sleep patterns in young children.DesignCross-sectional observational data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), which collected information on food insecurity, soft drinks consumption, sleep patterns and child behaviour problems. Bivariate and multivariate ordinary least-squares regression analyses predicting child behaviour problems and accounting for socio-economic factors and household characteristics were performed.SettingTwenty urban cities in the USA with a population of 200 000 or more.SubjectsParental interviews of 2829 children who were about 5 years old.ResultsSoft drinks consumption was associated with aggressive behaviours, withdrawn and attention problems for children aged 5 years. However, the association differed by food security status. The association was mostly statistically insignificant among food-secure children after accounting for socio-economic and demographic characteristics. On the other hand, soft drinks consumption was associated with behaviour problems for food-insecure children even after accounting for these factors. However, after accounting for child sleep patterns, the association between soft drinks consumption and child behaviour problems became statistically insignificant for food-insecure children.ConclusionsThe negative association between soft drinks consumption and child behaviour problems could be explained by sleep problems for food-insecure children. Since about 21 % of households with children are food insecure, targeted efforts to reduce food insecurity would help improve dietary (reduce soft drinks consumption) and health behaviours (improve sleep) and reduce child behaviour problems.

Abstract:
Introduction: Sleep problems are common in all ages, but may be particularly acute in urban Singapore. This study aims to describe the sleep behaviour of, and to identify any sleep problems in, preschool children. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional questionnaire survey of 372 children attending local childcare centers. The questionnaire was based on the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), a validated parent-report sleep screening questionnaire that contains 54 items identifying sleep behaviours in children. Results: A total of 372 (40.0%) children participated. The mean age was 4.1 (SD 1.3) years (range, 2 to 6 years). Average total sleep duration was 10.8 hours (SD 1.1) with average night-time sleep duration of 8.5 hours (SD 0.6) and average nap duration of 1.6 hours (SD 1.0). Co-sleeping was common; 80.9% of children shared a room with someone else. The most common sleep problems were in the domains of sleep resistance and morning behaviour; namely: requiring company to fall asleep (n = 272, 73.1%), being afraid to sleep alone (n = 228, 61.6%) and difficulty in waking up (n = 165, 44.4%). Among parents, 84.1 % (n = 313) perceived that their child’s sleep duration was adequate. Conclusion: The duration of sleep in the Singaporean preschool population sampled is significantly lower than recommended values and that of previously described Caucasian populations. Parental perception of sleep adequacy deviates from current recommendations. Given the clear relation of sleep duration with cognitive functioning, learning, and physical growth, this sleep deprivation should be addressed with parental education and opportunistic screening of sleep in well-child follow-ups. Key words: Co-sleeping, Sleep duration, Sleep resistance

Abstract:
IntroductionSuicide is a serious public health problem, being the second leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds. Many risk factors have been associated with suicidal behavior, such as psychiatric disorders, family history of suicide, loss of a close friend/relative, physical/sexual abuse, lack of support network, or sleep disturbances where nightmares and insomnia have been consistently reported to increase the risk of suicidal behaviors.ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic review to examine the association between short sleep duration and suicidal behaviour (suicide ideation/attempt/suicide).MethodsThis is a systematic review of published research articles in the electronic database PubMed in the last 10 years. The query “sleep” or “sleep disorders” and “suicide” was used. Studies that assessed the relation between sleep duration and suicidal behaviour, with a well-defined index for sleep disorders and with an outcome measure of suicidal behavior were included.ResultsOf the 522 references founded, 33 articles met the inclusion criteria (1 review, 1 qualitative and 31 quantitative studies). An association between short sleep duration and suicidal behaviour was found in most of the studies with children/adolescents and adult samples. However, this relation was not verified in the research into the elderly.ConclusionThe results point to a significant association between short sleep time and the presence of suicidal behaviours, for both adults and children/adolescents. The effect of short sleep duration seems to be more consistent with suicidal ideation, but not for attempts, needing further studies to highlight the importance of this link between sleep duration and suicide.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
Background: The International Study of Movement Behaviours in the Early Years, SUNRISE, was initiated to assess the extent to which young children meet movement behaviour guidelines (physical activity, sedentary behaviour, screen time, sleep). Objective: The South African SUNRISE pilot study assessed movement behaviours in preschool children from two low-income settings, and associations between these movement behaviours, adiposity, motor skills and executive function (EF). Methods: Preschool child/parent pairs (n = 89) were recruited from preschools in urban Soweto and rural Sweetwaters. Height and weight were measured to assess adiposity. Physical activity was assessed using accelerometers while sedentary behaviour, screen time and sleep were assessed via parent report. Fine and gross motor development were measured using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire-3, and EF was assessed using the Early Years Toolbox. Results: The proportion of children meeting the physical activity guideline was 84% , 66% met the sleep guideline ,48% met the screen time guideline , and 26% met all three guidelines. Rural children were more active, but spent more time on screens compared to urban children. Most children were on track for gross (96%) and fine motor (73%) development, and mean EF scores were in the expected range for all EF measures. EF was negatively associated with screen time, and gross motor skills were positively associated with physical activity. Conclusion: The South African SUNRISE study contributes to the growing literature on 24-hour movement behaviours in SA preschool children, and highlights that these behaviours require attention in this age group.

Abstract:
Objective: To describe the sleep problems experienced by children with Down syndrome attending a tertiary sleep clinic and relationship with behaviour, function and cognition. Methods: Data were collected from children with Down syndrome aged 3–18 years old. Carers completed the Abbreviated Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire, Child Behaviour Checklist and Life-Habits Questionnaire at enrolment. Cognitive assessment (Stanford-Binet 5) was undertaken by a trained psychologist. Children received management for their sleep problem as clinically indicated. Results: Forty-two subjects with a median age of 6.8 years (Interquartile Range-IQR 4.5, 9.8) were enrolled. A total of 92% were referred with snoring or symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), with 79% of those referred having had previous ENT surgery. Thus, 85% of all participants underwent a sleep study and 61% were diagnosed with OSA (OAHI ≥ 1/h). Based on questionnaires, 86% of respondents indicated that their child had a significant sleep disorder and non-respiratory sleep problems were common. Non-respiratory problems included: trouble going to sleep independently (45%), restless sleep (76%), night-time waking (24%) and bedtime resistance (22%). No significant correlations were found between sleep measures (behavioural and medical sleep problems) and the behavioural, functional or cognitive parameters. Conclusion: Sleep disorders were very common, especially non-respiratory sleep problems. OSA was common despite previous surgery. No association was found between sleep-related problems (snoring, sleep-study-confirmed OSA or non-respiratory sleep problem) and parent-reported behavioural problems, functional impairments or intellectual performance. This may reflect limitations of the measures used in this study, that in this population ongoing problems with daytime function are not sleep related or that a cross-sectional assessment does not adequately take into account the impacts of past disease/treatments. Further research is required to further evaluate the tools used to evaluate sleep disorders, the impact of those disorder on children with Down syndrome and interventions which improve both sleep and daytime function.

Abstract:
The 24-h day—containing physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep—in pre-school children has not yet been extensively investigated. The aim of the current study was to investigate pre-schoolers’ compliance with the 24-h movement behaviour guidelines (i.e., three hours/day total physical activity, a maximum of one hour/day of screen time and 10–13 h sleep/night). In total, 595 pre-schoolers (53.3% boys, mean age: 4.2 years) provided complete data for the three behaviours. Physical activity was objectively measured with accelerometers, while screen time and sleep were parent-reported through questionnaires. The proportion of pre-schoolers complying with the 24-h movement behaviour guidelines was calculated on weekdays and on weekend days. Low compliance rates were found: 10.1% on weekdays and only 4.3% on weekend days. The majority of pre-schoolers complied with the sleep duration guidelines (>90% on weekdays and weekend days), followed by the screen time guidelines (61% on weekdays and 28% on weekend days). The lowest compliance rates were found for physical activity (<20% on weekdays and weekend days). Overall, low percentages of pre-schoolers complying with the 24-h movement behaviour guidelines were found, and the lowest compliance was found for physical activity.

Abstract:
Difficulties in settling children to sleep and night waking are common problems faced by parents with young children. The effectiveness of parent-managed behavioural intervention is examined in this study of four children which employs a multiple-baseline-design across subjects. Components of the intervention included: establishing regular bedtime routines; paying attention to the children before bed in the living areas and staying with the children only briefly when settling them in bed; adopting procedures for ignoring disruptive bedtime behaviour and night waking; and giving praise for appropriate behaviour. Complete success in settling the three children who were difficult at bedtime was achieved in five to fourteen days. Persistent night waking in all four children was eliminated in five to thirteen nights.

Abstract:
Abstract Approximately 1 in 150 people in Australia are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2017). Studies suggest up to 80% of children diagnosed with ASD experience sleep difficulties (Cortesi et al., 2010). Behavioural sleep intervention is effective to improve sleep difficulties for children diagnosed with ASD (Jin, Hanley & Beaulieu, 2013). Additionally, caregiver support via telehealth can provide clients with greater access and flexibility of services. This paper will explore the current research on behavioural sleep intervention from a Behaviour-Analytic perspective and provide a model for behavioural sleep intervention via telehealth. This three-phase model includes: (1) an initial comprehensive behavioural sleep assessment, including the Sleep Assessment and Treatment Tool (Hanley, 2005) and baseline data collection to gather information on the child’s current sleep schedule and behaviours, (2) supporting caregiver implementation of an individualised behavioural sleep intervention via telehealth, including daily data collection and graphing to monitor efficacy throughout the intervention, and (3) ongoing review and revision alongside the caregiver until their and their child’s sleep goal has been achieved. By providing evidence-based behavioural sleep intervention via telehealth, children diagnosed with ASD can achieve healthy sleep.

Abstract:
Mental health problems are the leading causes of disability in Canada. Nearly 70% of mental health problems have their onset during childhood or adolescence. Thus, identifying modifiable determinants of mental health problems in children and adolescents can inform future interventions intended to prevent them in this age group. Until recently, research has examined relationships of movement behaviours, including sleep, sedentary behaviour and physical activity mainly with physical health indicators (e.g., adiposity, cardiovascular disease risk factors, etc.). The few studies that have examined the relationships between movement behaviours and mental health indicators have considered the former individually and in isolation of each other, ignoring the intrinsic and empirical interactions between these behaviours. Adjusting for all these behaviours in a traditional regression model that assumes independence between variables has been shown to produce flawed and inconsistent findings. The purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to examine how the combinations of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep duration are associated with depression and other mental health outcomes in children and adolescents, through a series of five research studies (one systematic review, 3 cross-sectional studies, and one longitudinal study). Empirical studies used data from 3 large and diverse samples of children and adolescents from Canada and the United States. Conventional regression models and structural equation modelling, and novel analytical techniques, including compositional data analysis were used to analyze the data. The systematic review confirmed the paucity of existing research in this area and identified important research gaps to be filled. Collectively, the results from cross-sectional studies showed that meeting all three recommendations was associated with lower odds of depressive symptoms and other mental health outcomes. However, this association appeared to be mainly driven by meeting the sleep duration recommendation, and to a lesser extent the screen time + sleep duration recommendations. There was a dose-response gradient from meeting none of the recommendations up to meeting two recommendations. Results from the longitudinal study using compositional data analysis provided further evidence suggesting that increasing sleep duration relative to the remaining behaviours (i.e. screen time and physical activity) was associated with lower depressive symptoms among all age/sex subgroups. Results further indicated that predicted changes in depressive symptoms were strongest and most beneficial when removing screen time while adding sleep duration. Finally, results from both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses suggest that age and sex moderate the association between movement behaviour recommendations (individual or combined) and mental health indicators, depending on the type of movement behaviour and the type of mental health indicators. The findings from this body of work have shed new light on the association between movement behaviours and mental health indicators in children and adolescents by demonstrating that meeting all three movement behaviour recommendations is associated with better mental health, and that sleep duration and screen time were more strongly associated with mental health compared with physical activity in our studies.

Abstract:
Introduction: Children with a learning disability (LD) and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are known to suffer from significantly more sleep problems, anxiety and challenging behaviour (CB) than typically developing children, yet little is known about the relationships between these factors in the child LD/ASD population. Aims and Hypotheses: The aim of the current study was to examine the relationships between sleep problems, anxiety and CB in children with LD and/or ASD. It was hypothesised that there would be differences between levels of sleep problems, anxiety and CB in children with LD alone, LD and ASD, and ASD alone. It was further hypothesised that there would be significant positive correlations between the three factors and that sleep problems and anxiety would predict a significant amount of the variance in levels of CB. Method: Postal questionnaires were returned by parents of one hundred and sixty seven parents of children with LD and/or ASD. Questionnaires consisted of parental report measures of sleep problems, anxiety and CB, in addition to general demographic variables. Results and Discussion: Statistical analysis revealed no difference between groups (LD, LD+ASD, ASD) in relation to sleep problems, however, some differences were found between the groups in relation to anxiety and CB. Correlational analysis revealed significant positive associations between the three factors. A hierarchical multiple regression showed that medication, sleep problems and anxiety accounted for 42% of the variance in CB, with a large effect size. These findings suggest that the relationships between sleep, anxiety and CB found in the TD child and adult LD/ASD populations are also evident in the child LD/ASD population and that these relationships should be considered during clinical practice, particularly in the case of CB interventions where sleep problems and/or anxiety are also present.

Abstract:
The current research considered parent report of sleep problems in children with an intellectual disability (ID). Of specific interest were parents who reported child sleep issues/disturbances but who did not consider their child to have a sleep problem. Also of interest was the use of a general parent-training program to treat both the sleep and behaviour problems in children with an ID. Study 1 examined parent perceptions regarding sleep in children with an ID. Parents who reported a child sleep problem provided information on the types of sleep treatment tried and rated their effectiveness. Overall, 243 questionnaires were completed by parents of children with a range of disabilities aged between 3.1 to 18.7 years. While 62% of parents rated their child as displaying problematic night settling, night waking, early waking, or other disturbing sleep behaviours, only 27% of parents considered their child to have a sleep problem. A higher number of parents (75%) than expected had tried at least one type of intervention, although it was not possible to discern 'self help' treatments from 'professionally sought' treatments. Study 2 investigated child and parent factors associated with parent perception of sleep problems in children with an ID. Seventy-six parents from Study 1 completed measures in relation to child adaptive and daytime behaviour, parent stress, locus of control, personality (extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism), parenting competence, and perceived control over the child's sleep and daytime behaviour. Based on parent report on a sleep measure and response to the question 'do you think your child has a sleep problem' parents were allocated into one of three sleep groups: Parents who recognised a sleep problem (RSP, N=20), parents whose child did not have a sleep problem (NSP, N=35), and parents who did not recognise their child to have a sleep problem (USP, N=21). The results revealed differences between parents who do (RSP) and parents who do not (USP) recognise their child's sleep problem. These differences related to amount of child sleep (as reported by parents) and parent perceived control over the child's sleep and daytime behaviour. Study 3 examined the efficacy of a general parent-training (behaviour management) program, with sleep used as the training exemplar, for the treatment of sleep problems in children with an ID. Of the 20 parents in the RSP group in Study 2, five agreed to take part in Study 3 and three completed the intervention. The effect of the intervention on (a) a targeted sleep problem, (b) a targeted behaviour problem, (c) other sleep and daytime behaviours, (d) parent stress, (e) parent sleep, (f) parent sense of competence, and (g) parent perceived control over the child's sleep and daytime behaviour were examined. All parents reported an improvement in target sleep behaviour, and at follow-up all of the parents no longer considered their child to have a sleep problem. One parent reported a decrease in stress and an increase in measures of perceived control, and parenting competence, while two parents showed minimal to no improvement on child and parent outcomes.

Abstract:
Self-regulation refers to our individual capacities to regulate our behaviours, emotions, and thoughts, with these skills developing rapidly across early childhood. This thesis examined sleep, emotional, and cognitive regulation development, and related parental influences, for children participating in the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. Important longitudinal associations among children's self-regulation, maternal mental health, parenting, and later behaviour problems for children were also investigated. A unique contribution of this research was a prevalence estimate of early childhood self-regulation problems in Australian children that was documented for the first time.

This thesis focussed on obesity prevention in children under five years by targeting parenting practices that support the development of healthy lifestyle behaviours in respect to eating, active play, screen time and sleep. An intervention, developed from focus groups with parents, was trialled in community playgroups in Brisbane and was both feasible and acceptable. The aim was to support parents to use autonomy promoting parenting practices. The program, unique in the community playgroup setting, consisted of five fortnightly sessions, delivered during playgroup time. A peer facilitator led brief conversations around parenting challenges and strategies for using appropriate parenting practices.

Abstract:
Objective: The incidence rates of sleep problems have previously been found to be significantly higher in children with a moderate to severe learning disability and/or autism in comparison to typically developing children (Richdale, Gavidia-Payne, Francis & Cotton, 2000). Further, the existence of a sleep problem has been found to be correlated with daytime challenging behaviour and maternal stress (Wiggs & Stores, 1996; Quine, 1991; Quine, 1992). To date, no study has investigated this relationship and prevalence rates specifically in a clinical population. In this study it was hypothesised that children who had been referred to a specialist learning disability and autism clinical service for complex psychological and behavioural difficulties and were, by definition, considered to have problems that have reached clinical significance, would have increased sleeping difficulties in comparison to children with the same degree of disability whose behaviour had not warranted referral. Further, this would have an impact on maternal stress in that stress levels would be again higher in the clinical group. Results: In comparison to the control group, mothers of children in the clinical group rated their children as having significantly more sleeping problems and daytime challenging behaviour. Further the mothers in the clinical group scored more highly on a measure of maternal stress. A correlation was found between all three variables in the clinical group; sleep and maternal stress were not correlated in the control group. Regression analysis suggested that children’s sleep problems were the best predictor of maternal stress in the clinical group and daytime challenging behaviour was the best predictor of maternal stress in the control group. The results are discussed with reference to previous research findings and clinical implications. Consideration is also given to the methodological shortcomings of the current study and suggestions for future research are made.

Abstract:
Child and adolescent psychiatry is a broad dis­cipline relevant to any health professional who has regular contact with young people. Childhood emotional, behavioural, and developmental prob­lems are common, especially in children with other medical or social difficulties. This chapter aims to provide an approach to child mental health diffi­culties, while Chapter 32 deals with common and/ or important psychiatric disorders that are specific to childhood. You may find it helpful to revise some basic child development— this can be found in any general paediatrics text (see ‘Further reading’). An overview of the differences between child and adult psychiatry is shown in Box 17.1. As in adult psychiatry, diagnosis of psychiatric dis­orders often relies on the clinician being able to recog­nize variants of and the limits of normal behaviour and emotions. In children, problems should be classified as either a delay in, or a deviation from, the usual pattern of development. Sometimes problems are due to an excess of what is an inherently normal characteristic in young people (e.g. anger in oppositional defiance disorder), rather than a new phenomenon (e.g. hallu­cinations or self- harm) as is frequently seen in adults. There are four types of symptoms that typically pre­sent to child and adolescent psychiatry services: … 1 Emotional symptoms: anxiety, fears, obsessions, mood, sleep, appetite, somatization. 2 Behavioural disorders: defiant behaviour, aggression, antisocial behaviour, eating disorders. 3 Developmental delays: motor, speech, play, attention, bladder/ bowels, reading, writing and maths. 4 Relationship difficulties with other children or adults…. There will also be other presenting complaints which fit the usual presentation of an adult disorder (e.g. mania, psychosis), and these are classified as they would be in an adult. Occasionally, there will also be a situ­ation where the child is healthy, but the problem is ei­ther a parental illness, or abuse of the child by an adult. Learning disorders are covered in Chapter 19. Table 17.1 outlines specific psychiatric conditions diagnosed at less than 18 years, and Box 17.2 lists general psychiatric conditions that are also commonly found in children.

Abstract:
Lifestyle has changed in the last century increasingly promoting sedentary behaviors. Prolonged sitting time is related to increased all-cause mortality risk. Therefore, scientific research aimed at understanding the effects of sitting on health has increased to find effective interventions that can be carried out in life domains (study, work, transport, and free time). The interaction between physical activity and sitting time plays a key role in the development of strategies to promote physical activity practice and reduce sedentary behavior. Accepting that the modern societies incite to spend long periods seated, the aim seems to find a balance between all the areas during the 24 h of the day. Maintaining sleep time, reducing screen leisure time to 3 h/day, and breaking prolonged sedentary time for 2–3 min every 30 min-1 h of sitting, as well as reaching the physical activity recommendation may help counteract the potential negative effect of too much sitting time. Governments must provide active free time options to promote active leisure time and help reduce screen time. At workplaces, managers and companies should encourage sitting breaks and work standing options, and for the special population such as children or older adults, new strategies must be considered to reduce sitting time.

Abstract:
"Introduction. All world had suffered the consequences of a health crisis due to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). More specifically, Madrid was one of the cities most affected by this health crisis and where the restrictions have been the harshest. All population suffered psychological consequences of social isolation. Previous research on the effects of social isolation in children shows important effects on aspects, such as feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, and apathy (Biordi and Nicholson, 2013; Brooks et al., 2020). Other indicative aspects of well-being and regulation during childhood have also been found to be altered, such as sleep patterns, potty training, or challenging behaviors (Simon and Walker, 2018). Changes have also been observed in the levels of anxiety (increased fear, worry, obsession, or rumination) and depression (depressed mood, lack of interest and motivation, or sadness; Teo et al., 2013; Urbina, 2020). The objective of the present study was to verify whether the psychological adjustment of Spanish preschoolers and primary students has changed since the health crisis started. Method. A total of 291 families with children aged between 3.2 and 11.1 years (53,9% girls) participated in the study. These families have a medium socioeconomic background. The sample was divided into two age groups: 76 preschool families (59% girls) and 215 primary families (52% girls). The first measurement point was in February 2020 (just before health crisis started), the second point of measurement was during confinement in Madrid in March 2020 and the last measurement point was in February 2021 (one year after the health crisis started). Some scales of the questionnaire System of Evaluation of Children and Adolescents (SENA, Fernández-Pinto et al., 2015) were used. The selected scales were Attentional Problems, Depression, Challenging Behaviors, Emotional Regulation, Hyperactivity, and Willingness to study. Results. Comparison between the pretest and posttest scores for the Early Childhood Education group indicated very little variation in the mean scores of the five dimensions between T1-T2. In the same way, no differences between T1-T3 and T2-T3 were found in preschoolers. The situation for primary students were slightly different but in general no differences were found between T1-T3 and some improvement were found between T2-T3. Discussion. These results show that the children apparently were able to emerge unscathed from the extreme situation that they had to live through."

Abstract:
Ukraine has felt the impact of strong force, which has affected the level of happiness in the country. The circumstances were military actions which was provoked by the aggression of the Russian Federation. A whole generation of people knew about the war only from historical sources and had no previous experience of survival. During the war, basic physiological needs became a priority for the civilian population of Ukraine: security, water, food, heat, sleep, medicine. All other needs of a higher order have ceased, or become to be inconsiderable. The war did not make people happy, but it changed their behavior, which was due to the need to make important current and future decisions. Current decisions focused on survival, while long-term decisions focused on choosing one of the alternative life options, taking into account its expected quality and subjective prediction of personal happiness and happiness of their children. All this has led to a number of transformations in the socio-economic sphere, such as: falling incomes and rising household expenditures; change in the structure of consumption; shortage of certain foods and medicines; the impact of inflation; intensification of migration processes; demographic disparities and family separation; reduction of human resources; reduction of life expectancy and deterioration of health of Ukrainians; limited transport and logistics within the country; termination of a significant part of enterprises and small businesses; heavy load on social infrastructure facilities; increasing the number of individuals and families in difficult life circumstances, etc. According to the Phoenix Effect, life is expected to recover very quickly after the war. Ukrainians, having gone through numerous trials, will become much more resilient and happier in the future. Key words: Ukraine, russia, war, happiness, sconomy, Society, future

Abstract:
Premature infants are children born before the 37th week of gestation. They often need to be cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) after birth, where they are continuously exposed to noise that can affect sleep patterns and lead to growth and developmental delays. To date, there are no unified limits for the prevention of noise exposure in NICUs. Recommendations for maximal continuous sound levels vary - depending on the professional society - between 35 and 60 dB(A) for daytime values and 20 to 60 dB(A) for nighttime values. They span a range from quiet whispering to normal road traffic noise. Existing studies of noise measurements in NICUs indicate that these recommendations are generally not met. A limitation of previous work is their short time periods that noise measurements were made for, usually one or two hours. As a result, it is not possible to make statements about the diurnal cyclic change in noise exposure, which may have an influence on the circadian rhythm of premature infants, for example. The present work aims to determine the intensity and diurnal cyclic differences of noise exposure in a NICU. In addition, particularly noisy work activities are identified in order to derive suggestions for prevention.For this purpose, the continuous sound levels are recorded for 22 work shifts in a German level 1 perinatal center. Measurements are made in the patient room and the inside of an infant incubator. The mean daily noise exposure levels (LEX,8h) of the early, late and night shifts are calculated and the peak sound level (LpCpeak) is recorded. To test for a day-night rhythm, these are compared using one-factor ANOVA. Using the Contextual Inquiry method, work analyses are performed for 12 work shifts and the early, late and night shifts with the highest equivalent continuous sound level (LAeq) are examined for noise-intensive work activities as examples. The measurement results in LEX,8h and LpCpeak values of up to 49.7 dB(A) and 124.4 dB(C) inside the infant incubator and 55.4 dB(A) and 110.3 dB(C) in the patient room. A day-night rhythm of noise exposure could not be demonstrated. The most noise-intensive work activities included the suctioning of patients and the conversations conducted in the process, with an LAeq of 63 dB(A). In addition, numerous very high impulsive noise events are identified which contribute to the noise exposure of premature infants. The presented study proves that the noise exposure is too high, which is very likely to affect the sleep behavior of premature infants. The results correspond with the statements of comparable studies. It is remarkable that especially the high peak noise levels are mainly due to trivial causes, which can be avoided by simple preventive measures.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize available randomized controlled trial studies concerning the effects of exercise interventions on fundamental motor skills in children with autism spectrum disorder. Condition being studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complicated and highly prevalent neuro-developmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. The CDC reported that the prevalence of ASD was estimated to be 1 in 59 in the United States by 2020. Along with typical symptoms, a couple of studies have indicated that individuals with ASD encounter a variety of challenges, including sleep disturbance, obesity, executive function deficits, physical inactivity, and motor dysfunctions. Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are the unnaturally occurring basic motor learning model of the human body, which are the building blocks for advanced specialized motor skills and for children and adolescents to participate in sports, games, or other context-specific physical activity.FMS falls into three different categories: (a) locomotor skills (e.g., running and hopping), (b) object control skills (e.g., catching and throwing), and balance or stability skills (e.g., balancing and twisting).
