“…Parental alexithymia was also significantly associated with greater parental perception of internalizing and depressive problems in their child (mothers: r = 0.261; p = 0.039; fathers: r = 0.340; p = 0.007). Similarly, Davodi-Boroujerd et al [ 96 ] showed that maternal alexithymia can act as relevant factor in the development of internalizing problems in children. Contingent stress imposed on parents by the pandemic may further have played a role in this regard, as highlighted by an increased maternal perception of internalizing symptoms in children after the COVID-19 outbreak compared to the pre-COVID-19 era [ 97 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply affected the psychophysical wellbeing of children worldwide. Alexithymia, a personality trait involving difficulties in identifying and expressing feelings represents a vulnerability factor for stress-related disorders. Under pandemic stress exposure, we aimed to investigate the role of parents’ and children’s alexithymia in the psychophysical symptomatology shown by children and to evaluate possible differences according to age, gender and history of COVID-19 infections. The perception of parents and children about the impact of the pandemic on children’s emotional, social and physiological wellbeing was also explored. Sixty-five familial triads were surveyed in the period from March to May 2022: children (n = 33 males; mean age = 9.53, sd = 1.55), mothers (mean age = 44.12; sd = 6.10) and fathers (mean age = 47.10; sd = 7.8). Both parental and children’s alexithymia scores were significantly associated with somatic and externalizing symptomatology in children. Self-reported anger and externally oriented thinking scores were higher in younger children (age 8–9.9 years) than in older ones (10–12 years). Girls scored higher than boys in somatic complaints, as reported by parents. No difference emerged between children affected/not affected by COVID-19. Notably, children reported a greater negative impact of the pandemic on their emotional and psychosocial well-being than their parents. The findings emphasize the role of alexithymia in the occurrence of psychophysical symptoms in children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reduced parental awareness of the emotional burden imposed by the pandemic on children indicates the need to better consider how epidemics affect children’s mental health and to develop adequate preventive strategies to support them in these exceptional times.

“…This result reveals that mothers' inability of distinguish inner emotion has results in that children's tend to have more internalization behavioral problems such as withdrawn, somatic complaints and anxiety / depression but not increase externalization behavioral problems. [21,22] Another possibility was children with more internalization behavior problems would have a tendency to be alexithymic and decrease the probability of externalization. [23] There has difference of CBCL scores performance between boys and girls in general population.…”

Background From the perspective of children's psychological development and psychoanalysis, the primary caregiver's response to children's behavior has a considerable impact on children's emotional and behavioral development. If caregivers lack the ability to empathize, difficulties in detecting and responding to children's emotions, which may lead to children's emotional and behavioral disorders. The purpose of this study is to preliminarily explore the correlation between children's behavioral and emotional disorders and the mother's inability to express emotions. Method We collected a total of 78 cases from outpatient clinics, aged between 3–13 years old. The Taiwan version of the " Toronto Alexithymia Scale" and "Children's Behavior Checklist" questionnaires were used as research tools, which were filled out by the mothers themselves. We use Spearman correlation tool for follow-up analysis. Results The factor 1, 2 and 3 of TAS are positively correlated with somatic complaint subscale of CBCL. (F2: p < 0.01; F1 and F3:P < 0.05); The factor 1 of TAS is positively correlated with internal subscale of CBCL(p < 0.05) and withdrawn subscale of CBCL(p < 0.05). We found significant associations TAS-Total and the SC subscale of CBCL (p < 0.05), and factor 1 of TAS and WD of CBCL on boy alone (p < 0.05). However, negative related association was noted between TAS-F3 and the SP subscale of CBCL (p < 0.05). Conclusion We infer that when mothers are less able to distinguish internal emotional feelings, children's emotions and behaviors tend to be internalized, and they are more likely to show withdrawal, complaints of physical discomfort, and depression and anxiety. In addition, boys tend to show withdrawal traits in the internalization dimension; girls tend to show depression and anxiety in that respectively. This study preliminarily shows that there is a partial correlation between mother’s alexithymia and children's emotional and behavioral disorders, and it is worth further exploring the impact of caregivers' emotional traits on children's growth in the future.

“…The use of higher temperatures in the drying process can accelerate the drying rate because the rate of evaporation of water from the material to the air also increases with increasing temperature (Davodi-Boroujerd, Abasi, Arani, & Aslzaker, 2022). Then, the drying rate decreases with increasing time.…”

Shallots are one of the mainstay products of Demak Regency which are continuously being developed. However, the Demak Shallot Cluster faces a major obstacle, namely drying technology, which is the main cause of the decline in competitiveness, and farmers suffer huge losses. Therefore, in this study, a study of the drying of sliced shallots using a food dehydrator will be carried out. The research analysis includes (1) Drying Characteristics, (2) Drying Rate Analysis, (3) Application of Thin Layer Drying Model, (4) Rehydration Ratio Analysis, (5) Color Analysis, (6) Flavonoid and Total Phenolic Analysis, (7) Antioxidant Activity Analysis. The quality parameters of shallot products in general will follow SNI 3159-2013, this standard stipulates provisions regarding the quality, size and hygiene of shallots (Allium cepa varascalonicum) of the Alliaceae family for consumption, plus the strength of onion bulbs, identification and quantification of flavonoid compounds, and anthocyanin levels. The results showed that the moisture ratio value in equilibrium was 9.34% with the fastest drying occurring at a temperature of 60 oC , which was 0.938 g/minute. The three thin layer drying models were analyzed to determine the appropriate thin layer drying model. The Page model was chosen because it has an R value of 2 the highest is 0.9353 and the lowest RMSE and x 2 values are 0.04354 and 0.0025 3. Changes in color and bioactive compounds in the dried onion slices are caused by heat which causes damage to bioactive compounds. Based on the parameters that have been determined, a temperature of 50 o C indicates the optimum temperature for drying shallot slices.
