Analysis of parental beliefs and practices leading to excessive screen time in early childhood by Geetha R Menon, Priyank Bhutani, Litna A Varghese, Gagan Bajaj, Charul Bhutani, Firoz Khan, Ramesh Chandra Deka, Suvendra Kumar Ray, Siddhartha Sankar Satapathy

“…Data analysis included χ2 tests and multinomial logistic regression to identify associations between variables.Results Over 60% of the children spent 2–4 hours daily on screens, with no significant associations between weekday–weekend screen time patterns and sociodemographic factors. Multinomial logistic regression revealed that the odds of excessive screen use were greater among children whose parents were unsure of whether restrictions should be set (AOR=3.03 for 4–6 hours), those whose parents did not set screen time limits (AOR=1.64 for 4–6 hours and AOR=2.07 for >8 hours), those whose parents used screens during feeding (AOR=1.82 for 2–4 hours; AOR=2.66 for 4–6 hours, AOR=2.79 for 4–8 hours and 3.54 for >8 hours) and those whose parents did not believe that screen time hindered speech and language development (AOR=1.77 for 2–4 hours and AOR=2.11 for 4–6 hours).Conclusion Parental factors, including the absence of screen time limits and the cultural use of screens during mealtimes, contribute to excessive screen time. …”

Monitoring and Comparative Analysis of NO₂ and HCHO in Shanghai Using Dual-Azimuth Scanning MAX-DOAS and TROPOMI by Hongmei Ren, Ang Li, Zhaokun Hu, Nannan Shao, Xinyan Yang, Hairong Zhang, Jiangman Xu, Jinji Ma

“…This suggests that averaging multiple azimuth angles is necessary to better represent regional pollution levels. During the observation period, diurnal patterns revealed that NO₂ exhibited a “double peak” in the morning and evening, which was more pronounced in the summer, while HCHO peaked between 13:00 and 15:00. …”
