Parental monitoring is a set of correlated parenting behaviors involving attention to and tracking of the child’s whereabouts, activities, and adaptations. The impact of parental monitoring is ubiquitous and has broad relevance for youth outcomes. Similarly, although less commonly investigated, youth behaviors can impact parents’ or caregivers’ responses or behaviors. Longitudinal analysis was used to assess the gendered effects of youth behaviors—defined as internalized anger, externalized anger, and delinquency—on parent behaviors (i.e., parental monitoring). Results showed that adolescent’s levels of internalized anger, externalized anger, and delinquency were predictive of parental monitoring. Specifically, as the adolescents aged, parental monitoring decreased and parental monitoring was differentiated based on gender. Results and implications for the parent–child relationship are discussed.

Abstract Background: The complementary feeding (CF) period accompanies a critical window of vulnerability. During this time, failure to consume adequate energy, protein, vitamins and minerals is a significant concern and can lead to poor growth outcomes, increased susceptibility to infections, allergies, and diseases, and lower developmental potential. It is therefore of utmost importance to determine the most optimal time to start CF. The objective of this review is to assess the impact of early and late of introduction of CF on infant health, nutrition and developmental outcomes.Methods: We will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We will search MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, CENTRAL, Web of Science, and other databases and key organizational websites using terms related to complementary feeding and infants. We will also search clinicaltrials.gov for ongoing trials. We will include experimental (randomized trials (individually or cluster) and quasi-randomized trials) and observational studies with a concurrent comparison group (cohort (prospective and retrospective), controlled before-after studies and nested case control studies). We will only include studies that enroll infants, living in low, middle- or high-income countries. Outcomes will be assessed for the following two comparisons:1. Early introduction of CF (before 5 months of age) compared to introduction at 5 to 6.9 months of age2. Late introduction of CF (after 7 months) compared to introduction at 5 to 6.9 months of age All the included studies will be screened on Covidence software and analyzed on Review Manager (version 5.4.1) software.Discussion: There are inconsistencies in the existing recommendations for the introduction of CF, as the recommended age for introducing CF ranges between four and six months of age in various international guidelines. It is imperative to evaluate of consequences of both early and late introduction of complementary foods since optimal timing of introduction may have potential beneficial short- and long-term health effects.

The study aimed to measure the impact of applying governance standards in evaluating the quality of internal audit in Yemeni private universities. To achieve this, the researcher followed the descriptive and analytical approach and employed a questionnaire to collect data from a sample that included (68) participants. After conducting relative analysis, governance was at an average level of (64.9%). There was also a slight variation in the level of implementation, as the dimension of transparency and disclosure was the most frequent dimension, followed by accountability and independence. Further, there was a medium level of adherence to internal auditing standards at a relative weight (65%). The level of commitment to the audit dimensions was as follows: managing the internal audit activities (67%), communicating the results (66%), assessing the risk and control management (64%), and planning and implementing the audit process (62%). and The study also found that the combined governance standards (transparency and disclosure, accountability, independence) increase the quality of the internal audit in Yemeni private universities and the highest dimensions of governance standards affecting the quality of internal auditing are the dimension of independence (80.3%), accountability (71.7%), and disclosure and transparency (63.7%). In light of this, the study recommended adopting governance standards as an integrated approach to achieve quality performance in private Yemeni universities; spreading the culture of governance in private universities among their leaders and staff by holding training courses, seminars, and conferences in order to be accepted and absorbed. In addition, governance should be included in some related academic courses in the disciplines of administrative and accounting sciences. Keywords: governance standards, internal audit quality assessment, private Yemeni universities.
