Data for B-vitamin content in maternal diet and infant morbidity among breastfeeding mother-infant dyads from northern Kenya

Data for a manuscript entitled, "B-vitamin content in maternal diet and infant morbidity among breastfeeding mother-infant dyads from northern Kenya" by Amelia N. Odo et al. The original version was published in April 13, 2020. Version 2 includes data from more participants and additional variables relevant for characterizing maternal and infant dietary characteristics. Version 3 includes the variable "other" for other foods as part of the dietary diversity data. The codebook for the variable "inflam" has been updated (1 = CRP > 3 mg/l; 0 = CRP < 3 mg/l) instead of 10 mg/l stated in Version 1/2. The information on grant support has been added.

Data and code for: Viviparous mothers impose stronger glucocorticoid‐mediated maternal stress effects on their offspring than oviparous mothers

Data and code accompanying the manuscript "Viviparous mothers impose stronger glucocorticoid‐mediated maternal stress effects on their offspring than oviparous mothers", MacLeod KJ, While GM, Uller, T, Ecology & Evolution 2021. Code is in an R file - can be opened with any txt app. Metadata is in sheet 2 of the main data sheet (xlsx). Queries to kirstyjmacleod@gmail.com Publication abstract: Maternal stress during gestation has the potential to affect offspring development via changes in maternal physiology, such as increases in circulating levels of glucocorticoid hormones that are typical after exposure to a stressor. While the effects of elevated maternal glucocorticoids on offspring phenotype (i.e., “glucocorticoid‐mediated maternal effects”) have been relatively well established in laboratory studies, it remains poorly understood how strong and consistent such effects are in natural populations. Using a meta‐analysis of studies of wild mammals, birds, and reptiles, we investigate the evidence for effects of elevated maternal glucocorticoids on offspring phenotype and investigate key moderators that might influence the strength and direction of these effects. In particular, we investigate the potential importance of reproductive mode (viviparity vs. oviparity). We show that glucocorticoid‐mediated maternal effects are stronger, and likely more deleterious, in mammals and viviparous squamate reptiles compared with birds, turtles, and oviparous squamates. No other moderators (timing and type of manipulation, age at offspring measurement, or type of trait measured) were significant predictors of the strength or direction of the phenotypic effects on offspring. These results provide evidence that the evolution of a prolonged physiological association between embryo and mother sets the stage for maladaptive, or adaptive, prenatal stress effects in vertebrates driven by glucocorticoid elevation.

Ethiopia – Distribution of Mother-Tongues – a rare 1976 map uncovered

As part of our study on historical cartography and ethno-linguistic maps in the Horn of Africa and Western Tigray, we discovered the language map for this book, which contains significant information on the geographic region where the Tigrinya language is spoken: "Language in Ethiopia”, by M. L. Bender, J. D. Bowen, R. L. Cooper and C. A. Ferguson, published by Oxford University Press in 1976. With regard to Western Tigray, on the map, the Tigrinya-speaking area extends from the Sudanese border up to the Rift Valley escarpment at the east. Two major rivers cross the Tigrinya language area, the Mereb at north and the Tekeze in the southern part. The same language community lives on both sides of the rivers. In addition to Tigrinya, the map also shows that Kunama is spoken on the southern shores of the lower Tekeze River. The extent of the Tigrinya language on this map is in line with the Tigrinya-speaking area shown on all-but-one other language maps (often prepared by senior linguists), which are further detailed in a parallel dataset (Nyssen, J. 2022. Database: Western Tigray in 96 historical and ten ethno-linguistic maps (1607-2009): Zenodo. <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6557918">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6557918)</a>.

Figure 2. Screen capture of the current application-INTELLIGENT AGENT FOR ACQUISITION OF THE MOTHER TONGUE VOCABULARY

From this screen capture (figure 2), you can observe that, for example, the noun car (masina) is in a great correspondence with the correct word car(masina), and in the same correspondence with the incorrect word small (mic). But this is due to the fact that the system worked only with few examples. After a training with much more examples, the system will increase the correspondence between the concept/object car and the word car, and the correspondence between the object car and the word little will remain smallest.

Figure 1. Associations between objects and words-Intelligent Agent for Acquisition of the Mother Tongue Vocabulary

So, the learning process is very complex, and it is a probabilistic one. Thus, a second example is required, and even more than that. Normally, the mother speaks naturally to her child, she speaks with love and affection, she doesn’t “judge” or “program” what to say to her child. Therefore, another day she will tell her child, for example, “My darling son, let’s drink the milk from the cup.”

Mothers of twins had higher old-age survival than mothers of singletons in Estonian 19th-century birth cohorts

Study question: Do the mothers of twins and singletons differ regarding post-partum and old-age mortality?  Summary answer: Mothers of twins had twice as high post-partum mortality as mothers of singletons; survival of twinners was higher than survival of the mothers of singletons after the 67th lifespan percentile. What is known already: Twinning is typically associated with higher post-partum maternal mortality. The evidence about whether twinning incurs long-term survival costs of reproduction or is a trait pertinent to long-lived women is scarce and contradictory. Study design, size, duration: The study is based on the data of the Estonian Family Register (operating from 1926-43) and involves 5 565 mothers of twins and 119 613 mothers of singletons born between 1850-99. The subset for comparing maternal lifespans included 1 703 – 1 884 mothers of twins and 19 747 – 36 690 mothers of singletons. Participants/materials, setting, methods: Post-partum maternal mortality was analysed in the whole sample (including mothers of a single child) by logistic regression. Most of the analyses were performed in samples where each mother of twins was matched against mothers of singletons based on parity, urban versus rural origin, whether their lifespan was known, date of birth and age at first birth. Quantile regression was used to analyse age-dependent variations in maternal mortality rates. Lifespans were compared in linear mixed models. All models were adjusted for relevant biodemographic covariates. Main results and the role of chance: The twinning rate in the whole sample was 4.4%. During the year after giving birth, maternal mortality for multiple gestations was 0.75% (17/2 273) and 0.37% (449/122 750) for single gestations (OR = 2.05, 95% CI = 1.21 – 3.23). The association between twinning and post-natal maternal mortality remained significant in a model controlling for parity and age of first and last birth. The life spans of the mothers of twins and singletons did not differ in matched samples. Past the 67th lifespan percentile, the odds of survival were significantly higher for mothers of twins than mothers of singletons, as indicated by non-overlapping 95% confidence intervals. Limitations, reasons for caution: Relatively low number of individuals (22 802) with known age at death due to discontinuation of the register after 1943.
