Development of SrWO:Ho/Yb green phosphor for optical thermometry application.

In recent years, the growth of luminescent materials for optical thermometry applications has gained substantial attention due to their non-invasive and contactless nature. This research article presents the synthesis, characterization, and potential application of SrWO:Ho/Yb phosphors as temperature-sensitive materials. The inspection of the structural properties is done by X-ray diffraction and Raman and FTIR spectroscopy.

Development and validation of the social-emotional rating scale for autism spectrum disorder (SERA) in an Indian sample.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs during the developmental period and affects overall cognitive, emotional, social, and physical health. Comprehensive screening for ASD can assist in diagnosis and intervention planning. The primary aim of this study was to develop and validate a screening tool for ASD based on the diagnostic guidelines of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).

Dark clouds and silver linings: impact of COVID-19 on internet users' privacy.

Objectives: To examine the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the extent of potential violations of Internet users' privacy.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a longitudinal study of the data sharing practices of the top 1000 websites in the United States between April 9 and August 27, 2020. We fitted a conditional latent growth curve model on the data to examine the longitudinal trajectory of the third-party data sharing over the 21 weeks period of the study and examine how website characteristics affect this trajectory.

Impact of online classes on the satisfaction and performance of students during the pandemic period of COVID 19.

The aim of the study is to identify the factors affecting students' satisfaction and performance regarding online classes during the pandemic period of COVID-19 and to establish the relationship between these variables. The study is quantitative in nature, and the data were collected from 544 respondents through online survey who were studying the business management (B.B.

Tau Angle: A New Approach for Assessment of True Sagittal Maxillomandibular Relationship.

Aim: The orthodontic treatment planning relies on correct diagnosis of skeletal discrepancy, which demands accurate and precise cephalometric parameters. This study proposed an angle, which is based on unvarying cephalometric points and gives a true sagittal skeletal maxillomandibular relationship.

Materials And Methods: The present study was conducted on 279 individuals (13-30 years), which were divided into three groups (class I, II, and III skeletal malocclusion) depending on beta, wits, and ANB (A point, Nasion, B point) angles.

Compress the curve: a cross-sectional study of variations in COVID-19 infections across California nursing homes.

Objective: Nursing homes' residents and staff constitute the largest proportion of the fatalities associated with COVID-19 epidemic. Although there is a significant variation in COVID-19 outbreaks among the US nursing homes, we still do not know why such outbreaks are larger and more likely in some nursing homes than others. This research aims to understand why some nursing homes are more susceptible to larger COVID-19 outbreaks.

Biological Management of Banana Fusarium Wilt Caused by f. sp. Tropical Race 4 Using Antagonistic Fungal Isolate CSR-T-3 ().

wilt in bananas is one of the most devastating diseases that poses a serious threat to the banana industry globally. With no effective control measures available to date, biological control has been explored to restrict the spread and manage the outbreak. We studied the effective biological control potential of different spp.

Multicomponent synthesis of dispiroheterocycles using a magnetically separable and reusable heterogeneous catalyst.

Dispiroheterocycles have been synthesized by pseudo-four component reaction of 6-aminouracil/6-amino-2-thiouracil/2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole, -toluidine and isatins in an ethanol-water mixture as solvent using β-cyclodextrin functionalized FeO nanoparticles as a magnetically separable and reusable heterogeneous catalyst. The nanocatalyst was synthesized and characterized by physicochemical characterization including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

A review of genetics of nasal development and morphological variation.

The nose is central in the determination of facial esthetics. The variations in its structural characteristics greatly influence the ultimate dentoskeletal positioning at the end of an orthodontic therapy. A careful insight into its developmental etiology will greatly aid the health care professional in identifying patient's real concern about the facial appearance.

(How) did attack advertisements increase Affordable Care Act enrollments?

We examine the effects of exposure to negative information in attack advertisements in the context of Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Common Core (CC) education standards and show that they lead to an increase in the ACA enrollments and support of the CC standards. To explain this effect, we rely on the knowledge-gap theory and show that individuals who were exposed to more attack advertisements were also more likely to independently seek information, become more knowledgeable, and consequently support these subjects. In addition to an observational study, to test our hypotheses on the link between exposure to negative information, curiosity, and shifts in knowledge and support levels, we design and conduct a randomized experiment using a sample of 300 unique individuals.

The Role of HIPAA Omnibus Rules in Reducing the Frequency of Medical Data Breaches: Insights From an Empirical Study.

Unlabelled: Policy Points: Frequent data breaches in the US health care system undermine the privacy of millions of patients every year-a large number of which happen among business associates of the health care providers that continue to gain unprecedented access to patients' data as the US health care system becomes digitally integrated. Implementation of the HIPAA Omnibus Rules in 2013 has led to a significant decrease in the number of privacy breach incidents among business associates.

Context: Frequent data breaches in the US health care system undermine the privacy of millions of patients every year.

Drivers of information disclosure on health information exchange platforms: insights from an exploratory empirical study.

Objective: The objective of this research is to empirically explore the drivers of patients' consent to sharing of their medical records on health information exchange (HIE) platforms.

Materials And Methods: The authors analyze a dataset consisting of consent choices of 20,076 patients in Western New York. A logistic regression is applied to empirically investigate the effects of patients' age, gender, complexity of medical conditions, and the role of primary care physicians on patients' willingness to disclose medical information on HIE platforms.

Professional and geographical network effects on healthcare information exchange growth: does proximity really matter?

Background And Objective: We postulate that professional proximity due to common patients and geographical proximity among practice locations are significant factors influencing the adoption of health information exchange (HIE) services by healthcare providers. The objective of this study is to investigate the direct and indirect network effects of these drivers on HIE diffusion.

Design: Multi-dimensional scaling and clustering are first used to create different clusters of physicians based on their professional and geographical proximities.
