Assessing the impact of paternal emigration on children ‘left-behind’—A cohort analysis by Natalia Norori, Lucy Barrass, Maria Theresa Redaniel, Nanette R. Lee, Laura D. Howe, Duleeka Knipe

“…Background: Previous work has shown that children ‘left-behind’ as a consequence of parental migration experience worse outcomes, although the majority of this evidence focuses on short- rather than long-term effects. Methods: Using data from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey cohort (n = 1651), we assessed the association of paternal emigration (identified based on evidence of remittances sent back by mother's spouse) during childhood with the mental health and educational attainment at age 18 of Filipino children, adjusted for sex, socioeconomic position and paternal education. …”

Precisely designing asymmetrical selenium-based dual-atom sites for efficient oxygen reduction by Xiaochen Wang, Ning Zhang, Huishan Shang, Haojie Duan, Zhiyi Sun, Lili Zhang, Yuanting Lei, Xuan Luo, Liang Zhang, Bing Zhang, Wenxing Chen

“…Spectroscopic characterisation and theoretical calculations revealed that heteronuclear selenium atoms can efficiently polarise the charge distribution of other metal atoms through short-range regulation. In addition, compared with the Se or Fe single-atom sites, the SeFe dual-atom sites facilitate a reduction in the conversion energy barrier from *O to *OH via the coadsorption of *O intermediates. …”
