In this study, the authors found that a parental history of ACEs can weaken protective factors — such as resilience and social connections — that could mitigate the risk of perpetuating the trauma in the next generation.  Children and Youth Services Review: http://bit.ly/2UmOH95

The authors investigate the benefits of joint investment planning for transmission lines and energy storage, finding that energy storage investments complement transmission expansion and contribute to higher social welfare values. Published by Energy Strategy Reviews: http://bit.ly/2vd2ZLA.

Mexico’s plan to implement a large-scale residential distributed photovoltaic generation program would bring more economic and environmental gains than losses, the authors conclude in this study of Mexico’s electricity sector. IAEE Energy Forum: http://bit.ly/2GoTxK5

The authors conducted mobile phone surveys on energy supply, demand and quality in 12 sub-Saharan African countries, finding that current grid and off-grid electricity supply is inadequate to meet consumers' demands.

The authors compare views on the relationship between faith and health for two groups that are overrepresented in American Christianity and underrepresented in medical careers (African Americans and Latinos) with a group that is similarly religious but comparatively well-represented in medical professions (Korean Americans).

Both black Americans and Latinos have concerns about science teachers being biased. Yet, the groups differ in their assessment of the danger of anti-religious bias, according to findings by the authors. Published by Review of Religious Research.

This paper assesses the current operational conditions of the Mexican residential electricity sector and examines the potential effects that the massive adoption of distributed photovoltaic power generation (DPV) systems would have on household expenditure and welfare, subsidy reduction, pollution and water resource usage.
