Dual careers as sustainable careers for performing artists in times of crisis. A contextual approach to the construct of a sustainable arts career.

For an individual, a sustainable career is a sequence of events in one's professional life that both brings professional satisfaction to the career actor, but also allows them to stay healthy, fit, satisfied with their non-work life, feel stable and secure, and free to decide their professional future. It is challenging to pursue a career as a performing artist in such a way that the artist can say of their career that it is sustainable. Indeed, research shows that artists struggle with job instability, being paid below expectations, high competition for lucrative career opportunities and the loss of psycho-physical fitness, which is important in the profession.

Racial, Ethnic, and Socioeconomic Disparities in COVID-19 Pandemic Worries.

Background: Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic health disparities became evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study explores whether these disparities extend to the content of worries.

HIV status and substance use disorder treatment need and utilization among adults in the United States, 2015-2019: Implications for healthcare service provision and integration.

Introduction: Substance use disorders (SUD) are associated with HIV acquisition and care disruptions. Most research focuses on clinical samples; however, we used a nationally representative, community-based sample to estimate SUD treatment need and utilization by HIV status.

Methods: We included participants from the 2015-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health aged 18 and older who met past-year DSM-IV SUD criteria (n = 22,166).

Stability of Graphene/Nafion Composite in PEM FC Electrodes.

Ensuring the stable operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is conducive to their real-world application. A promising direction for stabilizing electrodes is the stabilization of the ionomer via the formation of surface compounds with graphene. A comprehensive study of the (electrochemical, chemical, and thermal) stability of composites for fuel cell electrodes containing a modifying additive of few-layer graphene was carried out.
