Stone age science : materials : inventions that changed the world--and the science behind them
\"Leo teaches his cat Pallas all about different materials by applying his knowledge of science to their stone age world. Engaging illustrations and stories provide a fun introduction to science concepts, including the use of metals, concrete, crystals, melting points, combustion, and more. Information boxes accompany each story to explore real applications of materials in the natural and designed world.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Imaging assessment of children presenting with suspected or known juvenile idiopathic arthritis: ESSR-ESPR points to consider
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common paediatric rheumatic disease. It represents a group of heterogenous inflammatory disorders with unknown origin and is a diagnosis of exclusion in which imaging plays an important role. JIA is defined as arthritis of one or more joints that begins before the age of 16 years, persists for more than 6 weeks and is of unknown aetiology and pathophysiology. The clinical goal is early suppression of inflammation to prevent irreversible joint damage which has shifted the emphasis from detecting established joint damage to proactively detecting inflammatory change. This drives the need for imaging techniques that are more sensitive than conventional radiography in the evaluation of inflammatory processes as well as early osteochondral change. Physical examination has limited reliability, even if performed by an experienced clinician, emphasising the importance of imaging to aid in clinical decision-making. On behalf of the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) arthritis subcommittee and the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) musculoskeletal imaging taskforce, based on literature review and/or expert opinion, we discuss paediatric-specific imaging characteristics of the most commonly involved, in literature best documented and clinically important joints in JIA, namely the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), spine, sacroiliac (SI) joints, wrists, hips and knees, followed by a clinically applicable point to consider for each joint. We will also touch upon controversies in the current literature that remain to be resolved with ongoing research.Key Points• Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic paediatric rheumatic disease and, in JIA imaging, is increasingly important to aid in clinical decision-making.• Conventional radiographs have a lower sensitivity and specificity for detection of disease activity and early destructive change, as compared to MRI or ultrasound. Nonetheless, radiography remains important, particularly in narrowing the differential diagnosis and evaluating growth disturbances.• Mainly in peripheral joints, ultrasound can be helpful for assessment of inflammation and guiding joint injections. In JIA, MRI is the most validated technique. MRI should be considered as the modality of choice to assess the axial skeleton or where the clinical presentation overlaps with JIA.

Does the Amount of Time Mothers Spend With Children or Adolescents Matter?
Although intensive mothering ideology underscores the irreplaceable nature of mothers' time for children's optimal development, empirical testing of this assumption is scant. Using time diary and survey data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Child Development Supplement, the authors examined how the amount of time mothers spent with children ages 3–11 (N = 1,605) and adolescents 12–18 (N = 778) related to offspring behavioral, emotional, and academic outcomes and adolescent risky behavior. Both time mothers spent engaged with and accessible to offspring were assessed. In childhood and adolescence, the amount of maternal time did not matter for offspring behaviors, emotions, or academics, whereas social status factors were important. For adolescents, more engaged maternal time was related to fewer delinquent behaviors, and engaged time with parents together was related to better outcomes. Overall, the amount of mothers' time mattered in nuanced ways, and, unexpectedly, only in adolescence.

Joining materials in my makerspace
\"Describes how materials can be joined together to create one object with many individual pieces, or how one object made of many pieces cna be taken apart to make new objects. Readers are provided with strategies to start their own creative projects using the ideas they have learned. Along the way, tips and helpful hints guide children on how to brainstorm and solve problems working as a team.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Two perceptions of childhood: Alexander Baron (1917-1999) and Howard Jacobson (1942-)
Alexander Baron’s From the City from the Plough (1948) received high praise as the best fictional record of ordinary British soldiers’ experiences during the Second World War. Howard Jacobson’s The Finkler Question (2010) won the prestigious Booker Prize for the best novel of the year. In 2022, each author's memoirs were published: Baron’s Chapters of Accidents: A Writer's Memoir and Jacobson's Mother’s Boy: A Writer’s Beginnings. This article reviews their work and highlights what both memoirs reveal about the authors’ early years and subsequent creative projects. The article also considers other sources, including their writing at school and, in Baron's instance, personal correspondence. Other considerations in the article are an examination of the idea of “memoir” before a discussion of the openings of Baron’s and Jacobson’s memoirs, their differing styles prior to comparing their backgrounds, in Baron’s case the outer fringes of the East End of London, in Jacobson’s the Manchester suburbs, family relations, especially with parents, education, literary achievements, reception of their work including the posthumous growth of Baron’s reputation as a novelist.

Materials engineering and exploring properties
\"You might be surprised at the huge variety of materials we use every day, in the places we live, the vehicles we use, the clothes we wear, and in preparing the food we eat. This book explores how materials engineers research, design, and develop the materials needed to make these products a reality. Readers will also learn how to combine their understanding of materials science and the engineering design process to tackle a design challenge of their own.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Doorways to Adversity: Challenges of Youth Involved in Multiple Systems
The rates of youth involved in multiple systems are extremely high, yet there is a lack of understanding these individuals' needs and outcomes associated with multiple system involvement. The goals of this review were to examine issues for youth involved in multiple systems and to determine the outcomes needing immediate attention. This review reveals that these youth experience more challenges, unaddressed needs, and more adverse outcomes than do youth involved in only one system. Study implications are discussed.
