As youth transition into adolescence, their desire for autonomy leads to changes in the family dynamic, resulting in increased family conflict and possible disruptions to children’s psychological health. Previous literature, however, has largely neglected to consider whether the association between family conflict and child behavioral difficulties is uni- or bi-directional. The current study used latent curve growth models with structured residuals (LCMs-SR) to investigate this question in the Adolescent Brain & Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. At four annual waves (baseline through 3-year follow-up), youth (N = 11,868; Mage at Time 1 = 9.48 years; 48% female; 50% White) reported on family conflict while parents reported on youths’ internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Youth reported family conflict levels as increasing over four years. Furthermore, family conflict was bidirectionally associated with externalizing behavior, in that families with greater than expected conflict had children with more externalizing behaviors, and youth with more externalizing behaviors reported greater than expected conflict at home. Internalizing behavior, however, did not predict later family conflict, though family conflict predicted deviations in later internalizing behavior. These findings add to the literature by demonstrating bidirectional influences between children’s behavior and family functioning across emerging adolescence.

Noonan syndrome is associated with lymphatic system structural abnormalities and may present with potentially fatal refractory chylothorax. We report a 2-year-old boy with Noonan syndrome with non-traumatic chylothorax who was refractory to dietary therapy with medium-chain triglyceride milk, octreotide, prednisolone, lymphatic embolisation, and lymphatico-venous anastomosis but improved with etilefrine administration. Etilefrine may be a treatment option for paediatric chylothorax, regardless of the aetiology.

This article presents an overview of findings from an ERC-funded DigiScore project that investigates how digital technologies are reshaping music creation, performance and accessibility. Digital scores, defined as interactive interfaces for musical ideas, enable innovative compositional approaches, immersive performance experiences and inclusive practices. Drawing on nearly 50 case studies across five continents, the research highlights four key impacts: (1) enhanced interactivity and multimedia integration; (2) non-linear and real-time compositional methods; (3) novel performance opportunities in physical and virtual spaces; (4) broader accessibility for diverse musicians and audiences. An overview of case studies by the project’s partners and principal investigator illustrates how digital scores impact the creative practices of composers and performers, while also influencing audience engagement and fostering collaboration and participation. Despite challenges in balancing technological complexity with usability, the findings demonstrate how digital scores democratise music-making, offering new creative possibilities and redefining contemporary musical practices.

In praising Sallust, Tacitus chose the epithet florentissimus in delightful allusion to the former’s apparently innovative (and influential) use of the adverb carptim in his presentation of his novel approach to writing res gestae populi Romani: the adverb and the superlative adjective share an easily discernible etymological connection.

Much recent political theory aims to move beyond the dominant approach to theorizing justice by foregrounding cases of injustice. Judith Shklar’s The Faces of Injustice is regularly invoked in this context, yet the full force of her challenge to the “normal model of justice” and its implications for understanding injustice have not been fully appreciated. This article reconstructs and defends Shklar’s approach to theorizing injustice. It evaluates the differences between John Rawls’s account of the sense of justice and Shklar’s notion of the sense of injustice, showing why the latter should be theorized in relation to plural, competing, and ever-changing expectations, rather than in relation to ideal principles of justice. It illustrates how we can evaluate political responses to injustice without recourse to such principles and maintains that doing so is a strength of any democratic theory that is committed to giving injustice its due.

We trace the formation of the Kadehine, a Mauritanian cultural and political movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, with a focus on aspects of the “political underground” central to the movement’s strategies and organizing principles. As an anthropological history of the Kadehine, we focus on the organizing perspective afforded by its sources (largely interviews and movement literature). These sources emphasize the importance of clandestinity, as well as the influence of New Left ideas. We then develop a concept, “political underground,” describing the importance of clandestinity and its relationship to the radical politics of its time.

The radical expansion of the written score as art object in late-twentieth and twenty-first-century music resulted in a rapid porting of extramusical objects into music’s textual realm, including a wide array of linguistic graphemes newly treated as musical material. This article suggests that the modern compositional use of scored parentheses, although rarely undertaken for identical aesthetic or formal ends, nevertheless always involves the generation of a virtual site for intimacy between irreconcilable bodies. Parentheses radically reveal the fragile contingencies of fallible musical embodiment: every– thing, every language, every intention, every body as foreign to everything else and yet nothing as foreign at all. Musical parentheses are the privileged site where the I knows that ‘I am not you’, that ‘you are not I’, that ‘you I do not know you I do not know’ – which is to say: they will reappear by the end as love.

This article focuses on the poster child of grammaticalization, be going to V. First expressing ‘motion with intention’, in Early Modern English the construction came to signify ‘motionless intention’. The grammaticalization process continued in Late Modern English with subjectification, so that ‘intention’ was gradually replaced by ‘prediction’. We study the process from Late Modern to Present-Day English in the 200-million-word fiction section of the Corpus of Historical American English (COHA), 1810–2009, for which we have gender metadata on the authors. We focus on the productivity of the construction by comparing type frequencies, i.e., the number of different verbs following be going to. Our research questions are how the grammaticalization is reflected in the productivity of the construction, and whether the social factor of gender played a role in the process. We study the internal factors of mental verbs, inanimate subjects and passive voice; to this end, we use robust statistical methods to compare type frequencies and proportions of types over time. We also investigate the semantics of the verb types by drawing on techniques from distributional semantics. Our wider aim is to enrich the cognitively oriented theory of Construction Grammar with insights from historical sociolinguistics.
