Abstract:
In temperate-zone birds, seasonal testosterone (T) profiles often vary among species with different mating systems. The trade-off hypothesis suggests that T levels in male birds represent a trade-off between additional mating effort, stimulated by high T, and paternal effort, inhibited by high T. To study the role of T in mediating the trade-off between paternal and mating effort in the facultatively polygynous European starling ( Sturnus vulgaris ), we monitored seasonal fluctuations in T levels and song activity, which functions mainly in mate attraction, and we investigated natural covariation between plasma T levels and male parental and song behaviour during the parental phase. T concentrations peaked during nest building, remained high during the fertile period, and then decreased gradually during the period of paternal care. This resembles the profile typically found in polygynous species with biparental care. Seasonal variation in song activity paralleled seasonal changes in T. The proportion of time spent incubating was significantly negatively correlated with T levels in individual males. There was a positive, but non-significant, correlation between song activity at an additional nest box and T levels during incubation. We suggest that this negative correlation between T and incubation behaviour may be partly explained by T increases in males responding to the presence of prospecting females with additional nestbox occupation and mate attraction song, rather than that high T levels stimulate mate attraction song. During the feeding period, characterized by a very low availability of unmated females, variation in T levels was low and there was no covariation between T and feeding. T levels during the parental phase reflect, but do not seem to directly regulate, the trade-off between parental and additional mating effort and other factors such as opportunities for additional matings may influence the resolution of this reproductive trade-off.

Abstract:
AbstractIn biparental birds, the relative contribution of the sexes to parental care can be viewed as a co-operative equilibrium that reflects the relative costs and benefits to each parent. If there are asymmetries in these costs or benefits, then any changes to the cost of care could result in a corresponding adjustment to their relative contribution. Incubation is a parental activity, shared in many species, which is costly both in terms of energy expenditure and time. In this study we manipulated the cost of incubation for pairs of European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) by experimentally warming selected clutches to examine how this affected attendance by each parent. We found that total nest attendance did not differ between heated and control nests, although there was some evidence among heated nests that attendance declined with increasing effectiveness of the heater. Furthermore, relative male contribution was greater at heated than control nests resulting from the net effect of females tending to reduce, and males increase, attendance. We suggest that this shift in relative attendance may have been observed because females have a more developed brood patch and are more sensitive and responsive to clutch temperature than males. Consequently, females tended to reduce attendance at heated nests while males, with less reliable information on the clutch's thermal status, increased attendance to compensate for the reduction by the female. We also found that females at heated nests were lighter than at control nests, possibly because they were able to shed the additional fat reserves, a characteristic of incubating birds, earlier than females at control nests. We suggest that adjustment of clutch temperature in biparental species provides a valuable approach to investigating factors, including functional differences, asymmetries in brood value, and parental negotiation rules, that shape the roles of the sexes in incubation.

Abstract:
AbstractThe males' trade-off between caring for the offspring or investing in attracting additional mates is well established in the theory of mating systems. The reproductive consequences for males of alternative strategies adopted by them in response to these conflicting demands should depend on several ecological and social factors that may strongly vary among years. This variation, however, has been rarely addressed in field studies despite it being essential to understand the evolution of parental care in facultatively polygynous species. In the present paper, we examine the reproductive consequences of paternal vs. territorial strategies in the polygynous spotless starling (Sturnus unicolor) during four consecutive breeding seasons (1996-1999) in which the number of male defending nest boxes and several population variables such as nestling starvation rates, nest predation rates and fledgling production varied markedly. In 1996 we manipulated the propensity of males to feed their offspring by means of androgens and antiadrogens, and examined the consequences of male behaviour on reproductive success during the subsequent four breeding seasons. Males implanted in1996 with the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate (Cy-males) fed more frequently than males implanted with testosterone (T-males) or control males (C-males) both during the season in which they were implanted and in the next season. The number of nest boxes defended influenced total breeding success mainly in the years when male feeding frequency was less important for breeding success per nest. A lower proportion of Cy-males than T- or C-males still held at least a nest box in 1999, three years after they were implanted. As a result, the number of fledglings produced over the four years studied was smaller for Cy-males than for T- or C-males. These results suggest that the oscillating selective forces acting on breeding male starlings seem to operate more frequently against the development of parental care strategies, while the polygynous strategy seems to be favoured under a wide array of ecological conditions. Although increased density of potential breeders may constrain territorial expansion and polygyny, the high cost of losing a minimum breeding site may select for the maintenance of aggressive behaviour and low parental investment.

Abstract:
AbstractRecent theoretical and experimental studies appear to provide a comprehensive explanation for the evolutionary, and short-term, stability of biparental care in birds. However, much of the intraspecific variation in the absolute and relative contribution by the male and female remains to be explained. Most studies of the natural variation across pairs reveal positive correlations between the level of male and female nest defence or brood provisioning, but some species show negative relations, or between-season variability in the direction of the relationship. This study examines the determinants of male and female provisioning rate in monogamous European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), in terms of the patterns of male display, pairing patterns, laying phenology and clutch attributes. There was assortative pairing by body size and, controlling for female body size, larger males attracted relatively fecund mates. Males that sang relatively more, controlling for these body size effects, were paired with females that laid earlier. Female nest provisioning rates to experimentally standardized broods were positively correlated with female size, but male provisioning rates were unrelated to either song or any other attributes of themselves or their mates.

Abstract:
Previous work has shown that students who have troublesome relationships with their parents show higher risk factors for poorer college adjustment. In the present study, we focused on the balance between two key aspects of parenting style, parental care and overprotection, as they affect the transition to college life. Eighty-three undergraduate college students completed the College Adjustment Scales and the Parental Bonding Instrument. The most successful college adjustment was seen in students with parents viewed as providing the unique combination of high care and low overprotection. Higher parental care and less overprotection were significantly associated with better college adjustment across several domains of college-related problems, including academic problems, anxiety, interpersonal problems, depression, self-esteem problems, and family problems. Both maternal and paternal care was critical for successful college adjustment. These results have important implications for understanding how familial issues powerfully influence college adjustment and student retention, and provide compelling evidence of the need for limits to parental support in students entering college.

Abstract:
Objectives: The purpose of this critical narrative review is to discuss the revised Starling equation for microvascular fluid exchange and the associated implications for intravenous fluid administration. Data Sources: PubMed (1946 to December 2019) and EMBASE (1947 to December 2019) were used, and bibliographies of retrieved articles were searched for additional articles. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Articles pertaining to the revised Starling equation and microvascular fluid exchange. Additionally, prospective human studies involving the disposition and oncotic action of radiolabeled albumin and large randomized trials comparing fluid requirements associated with isotonic crystalloid and albumin administration were included. Data Synthesis: In the revised Starling equation, oncotic forces act across the endothelial cell layer, more specifically between the fluid in the vessel lumen and the protein-sparse subglycocalyx space. The revised Starling equation and radiolabeled investigations of albumin necessitate a reconsideration of conventional views of the plasma-expanding properties of exogenous albumin. Large clinical trials demonstrate that the administration of iso-oncotic or hyper-oncotic albumin solutions in patients undergoing resuscitation does not have the reductions in fluid requirements anticipated from a traditional understanding of the oncotic actions of albumin. Relevance to Patient Care and Clinical Practice: When used as a resuscitation fluid, albumin does not have the degree of plasma expansion or intravascular retention commonly used to justify its use. Conclusions: The principles underlying the revised Starling equation in conjunction with data from radiolabeled studies of albumin and large clinical trials demonstrate that albumin does not have the perceived degree of plasma expansion or duration of intravascular retention beyond crystalloid solutions predicted by the classic Starling equation.

Abstract:
Background and Purpose: Just over 15% of children under 18 years of age in the UnitedStates, or approximately 11.2 million children, are estimated to have special healthcare needs.Although children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN) make up a small percentage of thepediatric population, they account for over one third of pediatric medical care. Parental attitudesregarding immunization play a significant role in vaccination rates among children. The purposeof this research is to explore parental attitudes regarding immunization of CSHCN.Methods: This qualitative study focused on parental perceptions and beliefs aboutimmunizations for CSHCN. Sixteen participants, who were parents of CSHCN from onepediatric specialty care clinic participated in focus groups. Institutional review board approvalwas received prior to data collection.Results: While the purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of parents ofCSHCN regarding immunizations, analysis revealed parents simply wanted to share their lifeexperiences rearing these children, with issues of immunization being secondary. Participantsdescribed the experience of caring for their CSHCN related to isolationism and the weight ofresponsibility as leader of their child<'>s care. Additionally, the majority of parents thatparticipated viewed childhood vaccinations in a positive light. Parents acknowledged that it wasimportant for their own children to receive vaccines. Participants also recognized that it wasimportant for the community to be vaccinated in order to protect their child. However, the desirefor individualized care, at times, caused parents to disregard the immunization schedulerecommended by Center for Disease Control and Prevention.Conclusions: Health care providers can be effective and influential members of the healthcare team by engaging in community based education about vaccines, building trustingrelationships with parents and helping parents understand the need to follow the recommendedschedule for immunizations.

Abstract:
Background: Parents of babies hospitalised in neonatal intensive care units in the United Kingdom are faced with multiple decisions regarding their baby's care throughout their neonatal journey. There are disparities in care across the 23 neonatal networks in the UK, with parental participation in decision-making being an area in which significant improvements in practice could be made. Aim: To establish parents' experiences of participating in clinical decision-making whilst eliciting the aspirations of parents to participate in clinical decision-making. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to:
  • Establish parental understanding about their baby's admission to NICU
  • Identify parents' perceptions of their level of involvement in decision-making about their baby's management
  • Decipher if parents felt listened to by healthcare professionals
  • Determine how comfortable parents were with questioning and challenging the care provided to their babies
  • Ascertain how parents felt about decisions that they had made, if any
  • Identify learning for professionals to improve care further.
Design and Sample: A qualitative study was undertaken to gain insight into parental needs in two neonatal intensive care units. This study was informed by an organised consultation with a local parent support group to discuss parental experiences. This, combined with knowledge of health professionals, guided the development of a survey. This self-completed cross-sectional survey was administered to eligible parents 1-3 weeks after admission (n=21). It was structured on a five-point Likert scale with additional free-text spaces for comments. The results from the survey informed individual focussed interviews with a sub-group of the survey sample (n=5). This qualitative component was designed to enhance the survey findings through exploration of parents' personal experiences and reflections on the outcomes of the survey. A single group interview was conducted with five parents attending the local parent support group after expressing interest in sharing their experiences. Data Analysis: Survey data was analysed using descriptive statistics. Survey comments were then analysed using thematic analysis. Interview data was subjected to framework analysis, with the initial frame set by survey findings. Outcomes: This was the first study in the world to study the whole of decision-making in NICU whether parental participation was allowed or not. Staff-parent communication and relationship-building require considerable attention first before the issue of participation in decision-making can be addressed effectively. The use of transactional analysis as a means of understanding the dynamics and potential for change in relationships in NICU was a further novel aspect to the study. The application of Van Manen's explanation of categories of decisions led to a new way of understanding and decoding parental acceptance of exclusion from decision-making.

Thesis (MSc (Rehabilitation))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.
The school that was studied caters for learners with special educational needs in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. The learners at the school have a variety of physical, intellectual and learning disabilities. They receive rehabilitation inputs aimed at optimising their potential as school learners and as adults. These include occupational and speech therapy, physiotherapy, learning support and educational psychology. The therapists who work with them often utilise home programmes to involve the parents in their child’s therapy and to achieve carry-over from the therapy sessions. Among the professionals at the school there is currently a perception that therapy home programmes are poorly complied with and that the rehabilitation outcomes of the learners are being disadvantaged as a result. A need therefore arose to explore this issue. This study aims to determine the extent of compliance with therapy home programmes by parents and learners of this school. The study also attempted to elicit factors identified by parents and therapists as inhibitors to and/or facilitators for compliance with the home programmes. A descriptive, analytical study design was used. All therapists working at the school, as well as the parents of learners who were expected to comply with a home programme, were invited to participate. Data was collected using two self-compiled, self-administered questionnaires. A parent focus group was added later in an attempt to elicit more depth with regard to some of the issues explored. The data was analysed using quantitative and qualitative methods. Seventy-one percent of parents reported complying at levels adequate for therapeutic benefit to be achieved. However, 25% of the parents reported complying by less than 24% of the time prescribed. The barriers to compliance identified in this study include the quality of teamwork between the parents and the professionals, attitudinal barriers from both the parents and the therapists, the quality of training for the parents and practical difficulties. The family-centred, collaborative model of teamwork was recommended to both the therapists and the parents to facilitate parental input at all levels of the planning and design of the rehabilitation programme.

Abstract:

Malnutrition is a common problem for patients with cancer that leads to anxiety and frustration for the whole family. Patients with palliative cancer disease treated at home are entitled to an adequate nutrition treatment suited to individual needs.

Aim: The aim of the literature review was to describe how cancer patients experience their nutriment situation before and after the introduction of parental nutrition and the experience of getting home parental nutrition. Methods: A literature study was carried out where qualitative and quantitative articles were examined. Findings: Five qualitative and five quantitative articles were examined. Four categories were created; patients experiences of their nutriment situation before the introduction of parental nutrition, mental experiences receiving parental nutrition at home, physical experiences receiving parental nutrition at home, patients experiences in general receiving parental nutrition at home. Conclusion: Through the parental nutrition treatment at home patients felt that the physical condition improved and the physiological symptoms were decreased. Even though family life was affected patients strived for a normal life. More studies are needed on the role of the nurse in the palliative care regarding nutritional treatment and how her support affects the patient’s positive experience.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: För föräldrarna till ett spädbarn har barnets sömn stor betydelse. BVC-sköterskan är den som främjar barns hälsa och ger föräldrastöd. Syfte: Syftet med den här studien var att beskriva BVC-sköterskors erfarenheter och redovisa reflektioner kring för­äldra­­­­stöd som rör sömnfrågor hos spädbarn upp till ett års ålder. Metod: Stud­ien hade en beskrivande design med en kvalitativ ansats och genomfördes via semi­struk­tur­erade intervjuer med åtta BVC-sköterskor inom BVC-verksamheter i en mellan­stor svensk kommun. Materialet har analyserats med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resu­ltat: Resultatet utgjordes av tre beskrivande kategorier. Kategorin ”Samtalar om barnet och hjälper för­äldrarna att se till barnets behov” beskriver hur BVC-sköterskorna kom­mun­icerar med föräldrarna om deras barn och vilka råd de ger för att förebygga prob­lem. Kate­gorin ”Ger föräldrarna strategier att klara sin nya livssituation” beskriver hur BVC- sköt­er­skorna bedömde föräldrarnas individuella behov av stöd i föräldra­skapet kring sömn­­­frågor och om BVC-sköterskornas beskrivning av råd de ger kring omgiv­nings­faktorer som kan underlätta. Kategorin ”Spädbarns sömnproblem är kom­plexa och det finns sällan en enkel lösning” beskriver hur BVC-sköterskorna arbetar med föräl­drastöd när de får kännedom om att ett spädbarn upplevs ha ett sömnproblem, vad de har för reflek­tioner runt det arbetet och vad de har erfarenhet av som kan ligga bakom sömn­problem. Slutsats: Slutsatsen är att BVC-sköterskorna gav råd om åt­gärder som förebyggde sömnproblem. Det var ofta samma typ av åtgärder som också kunde av­hjäl­pa sömn­problem. När barnen utvecklat större sömnproblem så krävdes det ofta mer struk­tur och konsekvens av föräldrarna. BVC-sköterskorna utgick från hela familjens situation när de stöttade föräldrar.
Background: For the parents of an infant the child's sleep is of great importance. The child health care nurse (CHCN) is the one who ensures children's health and provide parental support. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the CHCN's experiences and reflections on parental support in sleep related issues in infants up to one year of age. Method: The present study had a descriptive design with a qualitative approach and was carried out through semi-structured interviews with eight nurses at child health care centers in a medium-sized Swedish municipality. The material was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Result: The result consisted of three descriptive categories. The category "Talks about the infant and helps the parents to ensure the infant's needs," describes how the CHCN's communicate with parents about their children and what ad­vice they provide to prevent problems. The category "Gives parents strategies to cope with their new life situation" describes how CHCN's assessed the parents' individual needs for parental support around sleep issues and about the surrounding factors that can facilitate. The category "Infant sleep problems are complex and there is rarely a sim­­­­ple solution" describes how the CHCN's works with parental support when they gain knowledge that an infant is perceived to have a sleep problem, their reflections on the work and their experiences of sleep problems. Conclusion: The conclusion was that the CHCN's gave advice on measures that prevented sleep problems. It was often the same type of action that could also remedy sleep problems. When children develop greater sleep problems it often took more structure and consistency of the parents to manage it. CHCN's emanated from the whole family's situation when they supported parents.

Abstract:
Context: The purpose of this research was to examine if the educational approach (the Approach) adopted at Kilnbarn Residential Special School (the School) secured the developmental learning pathways for its pupils. All pupils were diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and many had single or multiple comorbid conditions. The research sought to understand how their parents could be substantive partners and co-creators in the design, modification, and implementation of the Approach. It was a unique feature of Kilnbarn’s Approach to fulfil the potential of parents to be co-creators and co-therapists in their child’s progress. Objective: The case study became one of the instruments in which to test the School’s effectiveness in meeting the needs of its pupils. It enabled a review of the School’s methodology, curriculum and organisational practices. The Approach was designed to provide secure developmental learning pathways for its pupils, improving their quality of life and independence. Method: The case study design, was chosen as it was considered the most appropriate research model. A Parents’ Questionnaire, distributed annually over 3 consecutive years (2004-6) was the evidential basis for this study. Interviews and collected data were used to analyse and evaluate the progress of the School through parents’ eyes. Results: The combination of parents working with professionals to maximise the culture of “technical eclecticism” seems to be, in the light of this case study, best suited to the needs of children diagnosed with autism, SLD and comorbid conditions. The child should be immersed in a consistent approach across all areas of their life. Improvements in well-being, communication and joint action routines, sleep balance, a healthy diet, physical exercise, incontinence and behaviours was observed. Conclusion The study identified that parents could be substantive partners and influencers in the design and modification of the Kilnbarn Approach. The Approach secured developmental learning pathways for its pupils and appeared to improve their quality of life. Parents as co-creators and co-therapists had regained ownership of their child’s quality of life, learning outcomes and personal development. From the experience and unique evidence of this case study schools should utilise and profit from the mass resource of their parents. It has been shown that the Kilnbarn Approach was, during the research, an effective and suitable intervention for the many children it served. It is hoped that further studies in this field will explore the concept of a “technical eclectic” approach that further validates and brings together interventions that are conceptually grounded and incorporates evidence-based focused intervention practices.

It does so by focusing on the social exclusion experienced by this particular group of children, as social relationships are crucial to child well-being. The study is set in Denmark, where it is estimated that five to six per cent of every birth cohort experiences parental imprisonment during childhood and that the share of children facing this strain is similar to that of children taken into care or living in poverty. Thus, the chapter examines whether the child is socially excluded from important relationships in children’s lives, and less on the child’s encounter with the criminal justice system. This is done not only by adopting a child-centred perspective, but also by using children as informants in a survey from a representative sample of Danish children of prisoners.

Abstract:
Cardiac mechanics involves the study of the mechanical properties of the heart (ventricles) as a pump, and the physical factors that alter these properties. Neurohumoral factors aside, the function of the heart is determined by its intrinsic physical properties as well as extrinsic physical factors. The intrinsic properties include ventricular wall stress, elastance (stiffness) of the ventricle, contractility, and heart rate. The main extrinsic physical factors are blood volume, vessels properties, and extracardiac pressures. This chapter will review these intrinsic properties and how they interact with extrinsic factors to alter the cardiac (pump) function. Neurohumoral factors are excluded in this consideration. LaPlace’s law will be introduced to explain the idea of ventricular wall stress, hence the concepts of preload and afterload. The left ventricular pressure–volume relationship will be reviewed to explain how preload, afterload, and ventricular contractility interact and affect stroke volume. Finally, for completeness, the Frank–Starling relationship and Guyton’s venous return graph will be covered to explain steady state cardiac output.

Abstract:
There has been a concern that Norwegian family policies may be problematic for immigrants because such policies carry normative expectations about gender equal divisions of work and care. The study explores how immigrant fathers to Norway frame taking parental leave and practicing childcare. Parental leave for fathers, being rare or non-existent in their home countries, is justified in a favorable way to their family and friends at home. Hence, in a transnational perspective, the leave is narrated into an account of the auspicious aspects of their life in a new country, and they oppose being defined as lesser men because of having to take leave. The analysis shows that staying home with the child increases their capacity to provide emotional and practical care for their children. They situate themselves in terms of what they understand to be the dominant understandings of fatherhood. This is the “involved father frame”, which may be variable in content but fits well in a Norwegian discourse.

Abstract:
Research on work-family balance has seen flexible work arrangements as a key solution for reconciling work and family, but it has given contradictory results regarding fathers. This chapter focuses on flexible parental leave use for fathers in Norway. It is based on interviews with 20 fathers who have used the father’s quota flexibly either as part-time combined with part-time leave or as piecemeal leave. The study describes the motives for using flexible leave and the consequences of the two types of flexibility for fathers’ caregiving. Flexibility provides them with a menu of choices, which affects their caregiving differently. Findings show that part-time leave allows work to invade care, produces a double stress and promotes halfway fathering. It tends to confirm fathers as secondary caregivers instead of empowering them as primary caregivers.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Stunting among children under five can be caused by various factors, including inadequate food intake, characteristics of children, history of infectious diseases, family care pattern, and quality of health services. The dominant cause of stunting is different in each region. This study aimed to determinant the factors on stunting incidence among children age 6-24 months, Pemalang, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was a case control study conducted in July 2019 in the work area of the Kebondalem Community Health Center in Pemalang, Central Java. A total of 142 stunted children aged 6-24 months were selected for this study. The dependent variable of this study was stunting. The independent variables were nutritional intake, immunization status, hygene, exclusive breastfeeding, parental education, occupation, family income, and a history of infectious diseases. Data were collected using anthropometric measurements and interviews with a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Mother’s occupation (OR= 0.26; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.78; p= 0.035;), history of exclusive breastfeeding (OR= 0.07; 95% CI= 0.02 to 0.25; p= 0.001), history of infectious disease (OR= 0.008; 95%CI= 0.02-0.25; p= 0.010), Nutritional intake (OR= 9.44; 95% CI=1.88 to 47.43; p= 0.006), and they were statistically significant. Conclusion: Mother’s occupation, history of exclusive breastfeeding, history of disease infection, and nutritional intake are factors associated with the risk of stunting. Keywords: mother’s occupation, history of exclusive breastfeeding, history of disease infection, and nutritional intake, stunting Correspondence: Arwinda Nugraheni.

Abstract:
"Bonding represents an emotional tie that one experiences towards one´s own child. There are several instruments to measure the level and quality of bonding. Among them we chose and translated the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) into Slovak language. The aim of this study was to analyse its psychometric qualities. Our non-clinical sample consisted of women (N= 372) 18 and 44 years (M= 29.74; SD= 5.25) who recently gave birth in Slovakian hospitals. Data collection was carried out from September 2015 until March 2018. Participants filled the Postpartum bonding questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) and some of them other three tools: Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale by Cox, Holgen and Sagovsky (1987), Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) and Parental Stress Scale (Berry & Jones, 1995). The distributions of the items of the bonding were mostly skewed and leptokurtic. Internal consistency is high for the overall Lack of Bonding (?= .897) and varies in factors- ?= .820 for Impaired Bonding, ?= .779 for Rejection and Anger, ?= .506 for Anxiety about Care and ?= .321 for Risk of Abuse. In order to prove convergent validity, we correlated overall Lack of Bonding with depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, rs= .251, Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 depression rs=.404; n=79), stress and anxiety (Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42, stress rs=.392; anxiety rs=.496; n=79) and parental stress (Parental Stress Scale score; rs= .674, n=99). We did not confirm original factor structure via confirmatory factor analysis using principal axis factoring with oblimine rotation. Then, we used principal component analysis with varimax rotation method to reduce the items. 6 components were extracted. Component 1 was comprised of 15 items that explained 35,6 % of the variance with loadings from .306 to .733. Hence, we proposed new item-structure for the Slovak PBQ. We concluded that the Slovak version of the PBQ proved to have good overall reliability. We found evidences for the convergent validity with parental stress, anxiety, stress, and partly depression, because there were two different results. We also suggest creating a shorter version based on the analysis. Among limits we can see tools used for validity evidence and sample without participants for clinical population. We advise to use the Slovak version of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire as a tool to measure bonding in a research context and to use overall summary index (Lack of Bonding) instead of factors."

Abstract:
We develop and estimate a model of child care markets that endogenizes both demand and supply. On the demand side, families with a child make consumption, labor supply, and child-care decisions within a static, unitary household model. On the supply side, child care providers make entry, price, and quality decisions under monopolistic competition. Child development is a function of the time spent with each parent and at the child care center; these inputs vary in their impact. We estimate the structural parameters of the model using the 2003 Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, which contains information on parental employment and wages, child care choices, child development, and center quality. We use our estimates to evaluate the impact of several policies, including vouchers, cash transfers, quality regulations, and public provision. Among these, a combination of quality regulation and vouchers for working families leads to the greatest gains in average child development and to a large expansion in child care use and female labor supply, all at a relatively low fiscal cost.
