Abstract:
... Social capacity building is increasingly suggested as strategy for supporting vulnerable communities in dealing with natural hazards such as floods. However, research on the empirical implementation of social capacity building is still limited. This paper presents a conceptualisation and an empirical case study of participatory social capacity building for flood risk mitigation in the Netherlands. ...

Abstract:
... Children at the peak age of cognitive gender rigidity (age 3–6 years) demonstrate preference for gender-typed activities, toys, and peers. This study explores whether this preference extends to gender-typed food. A total of 212 Virginia preschool and elementary school children performed a card sort of food images and chose between snacks with gender-consistent and gender-inconsistent packaging. Ch ...

Abstract:
... Measles vaccination is important to prevent outbreak, and social capital can be an important preventive factor. However, there have been very few studies that investigated the association between social capital and measles vaccination, especially the second dose, which is more likely to be suboptimal. This study aimed to investigate the association between social capital and second dose of measles ...

Abstract:
... Sensory education has the potential to activate chemosensory awareness in children and may lead to them developing healthier and more balanced eating habits. The increasing evidence for the effectiveness of a sensory based education was mainly shown in studies with primary school children. As there is a lack of data with older children of mandatory school age, this study focused on pupils aged 11– ...

Abstract:
... Studies investigating short-term exposure to ambient air pollution and heart rate variability (HRV) suggest that particulate matter (PM) exposure is associated with reductions in measures of HRV. Mitochondria are sensitive to PM exposure and may represent a biologically relevant underlying mechanism. However, evidence in children is lacking.Here we examine whether PM has an influence on children's ...
