Robust quantification of the burst of OH radicals generated by ambient particles in nascent cloud droplets using a direct-to-reagent approach.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a central role in chemistry in cloud water, as well as in other aqueous phases such as lung fluid and in wastewater treatment. Recently, work simulating nascent cloud droplets showed that aerosol particles produce a large burst of OH radicals when they first take up water. This activity stops abruptly, within two minutes.

Tackling Loneliness and Isolation in Older Adults With Virtual Reality: How do We Move Forward?

Current trends in gerontology conceptualize Virtual Reality (VR) as a tool for rehabilitation, lauding its potential for cognitive rehabilitation or as an intervention to reduce cognitive function decline. However, we must take a critical stance and identify not just the potential positive impact, but also how things may go wrong without appropriate guidelines, and the need for careful design around the interaction affordances of the technology. We conducted co-discovery and co-design workshops involving expert stakeholders and older adults ( = 25) over a period of 6 months, involving practical activities including user personas and focus groups to understand the complexities of loneliness and identify possible solutions with VR.

Evidence-Based Treatment in Practice: PCIT Research on Addressing Individual Differences and Diversity Through the Lens of 20 Years of Service.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an intensive parent support program for caregivers and their children who exhibit difficult-to-manage disruptive behaviors. After more than four decades of research supporting its efficacy for reducing children's disruptive behaviors and improving parent-child relationships, PCIT has become one of the most popular and widely disseminated parenting support programs in the world. The evidence for the efficacy of PCIT can be found in many reviews of randomized clinical trials and other rigorous studies.

A population-based cohort study on changes in breast, lung and colorectal cancer incidence and mortality among non-Western immigrant women.

Background: Cancer risk varies geographically, and migrants are influenced by different risk factors before, during and after migration. Increased migration from non-Western countries to the Nordic countries calls for a better understanding of the migrants' cancer risk and the change in risk patterns over time. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence and mortality of breast, colorectal and lung cancer between non-Western immigrant and the native female population in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Norway.
