Article Abstract
Is it true that parents always prioritize educational effectiveness when selecting childcare services? The current study identified the potential requirements of dual-income parents toward social robots' diverse childcare functions (e.g., , , , and ). The results revealed that parental attitudes toward robots were made more positive by all the childcare functions of robots except for their educational features. Furthermore, parents' expectations of childcare functions varied based on their parenting characteristics. Spectral clustering analysis identified distinctive parenting styles (e.g., , , , and ), and multigroup structural equation modeling suggested that the impact of robots' socialization function was significant in all parent groups, while other childcare functions exerted limited influence according to specific parenting styles. In addition, children's characteristics were found to alter parents' preferences for each childcare function. These results offer practical implications for the early adoption of childcare robots through predetermining parents' acceptability based on their specific parenting characteristics.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major global health issue, with diabetes being its primary cause and cardiovascular disease contributing significantly to patient mortality. Recently, two classes of medications-sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs)-have shown promise in protecting both kidney and heart health beyond their effects on blood sugar control. We conducted a narrative review summarizing the findings of different clinical trials and mechanistic studies evaluating the effect of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RAs on kidney function, cardiovascular outcomes, and overall disease progression in patients with CKD and DKD.
