The COVID-19 pandemic, psychologists' professional quality of life and mental health.

Background: Psychologists are at known risk of work-related stress, secondary trauma, and burnout. The COVID-19 pandemic increased stress and anxiety for communities worldwide and corresponded with an increased demand for mental health services. Our study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on psychologists' professional quality of life, psychological symptoms, and work-related stress in Aotearoa, New Zealand (NZ).

Distress, waitlists and unmet needs: parents' reports of child psychological difficulties in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Objective: Demand for children's mental health services has increased in New Zealand, yet little is known of young children's experience of psychological difficulties and treatment. This study investigated psychological symptoms and treatment experiences among primary-aged children.

Method: An online survey of parents assessed children's anxiety, depression, attentional, emotional, conduct and peer problems, and experiences seeking psychological treatment.

Plasma Synthesis of Spherical Crystalline and Amorphous Electrolyte Nanopowders for Solid-State Batteries.

Here, we demonstrate the theory-guided plasma synthesis of high purity nanocrystalline LiSiPO and fully amorphous LiSiPON. The synthesis involves the injection of single or mixed phase precursors directly into a plasma torch. As the material exits the plasma torch, it is quenched into spherical nanocrystalline or amorphous nanopowders.

The Influence of Perforated Prosthetic Liners on Residual Limb Wound Healing: a Case Report.

Case Description: Good residual limb skin health is vital to successful prosthetic prescription. Unnatural loading profiles and excessive sweating can lead to skin and soft tissue problems. Perforated liners allow the transport of moisture away from the skin and allow negative pressure (a condition that has been shown to aid wound healing) to act directly on the residuum surface.

Resolving the Amorphous Structure of Lithium Phosphorus Oxynitride (Lipon).

Lithium phosphorus oxynitride, also known as Lipon, solid-state electrolytes are at the center of the search for solid-state Li metal batteries. Key to the performance of Lipon is a combination of high Li content, amorphous character, and the incorporation of N into the structure. Despite the material's importance, our work presents the first study to fully resolve the structure of Lipon using a combination of  ab initio molecular dynamics, density functional theory, neutron scattering, and infrared spectroscopy.
