He or she? The use of an integrated approach for sex determination in the bioarcheological research

This research aims to determine the sex of non-adult skeletal remains from two archaeological sites dating to the Roman Imperial and Medieval periods by using morphological, morphometrics and molecular approaches. The determination of sex from non-adult remains is a debated issue in the literature even though it has important implications in the palaeodemographic reconstruction of past populations. Concordance between the different approaches was obtained in the 63% of cases (N=19). The obtained results although preliminary are encouraging even though much research is needed for enlarging the sample size and for applying the cutting-edge High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) technologies

The influence of parenting styles on the self-efficacy of high school students

This study investigated the influence of parenting style on the self-efficacy of high school students based on the students\u27 academic and social self-efficacy skills. Four groups of students aged 12 to 19 served as respondents for the study. 70 males and 81 females participated for a total of 151 participants. The data was divided according to the socio-economic status of the children\u27s parents, 39 came from low-income bracket, 62 from the middle income bracket and 50 from the high income bracket. As a quantitative research using descriptive statistics, data was gathered through survey questionnaires the Academic Self Efficacy Questionnaires (Iligan), Social Self-Efficacy test (Bandura) and Parenting Style (Chua, Chua and Tan). It was evaluated using the Analysis of Covariance Method. An alpha level of .05 was set to determine the significant level of influence of parenting style on the academic and social self-efficacy of students while age, gender and socio-economic status were controlled. As a result, parenting styles have no influence on the self-efficacy of students
