Cognitive behavioural therapy plus Kiesler Circle Training (CBT+) versus CBT only for patients with interpersonal problems: study protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility trial.

Introduction: Interpersonal problems are a transdiagnostic risk factor for the development and maintenance of various psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression. Interventions that address these interpersonal challenges could therefore play a crucial role in enhancing mental health. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a transdiagnostic group intervention, the Kiesler Circle Training (KCT), in improving interpersonal skills.

Creation, stabilization, and investigation at ambient pressure of pressure-induced superconductivity in BiSbTe.

In light of breakthroughs in superconductivity under high pressure, and considering that record critical temperatures (Ts) across various systems have been achieved under high pressure, the primary challenge for higher T should no longer solely be to increase T under extreme conditions but also to reduce, or ideally eliminate, the need for applied pressure in retaining pressure-induced or -enhanced superconductivity. The topological semiconductor BiSbTe (BST) was chosen to demonstrate our approach to addressing this challenge and exploring its intriguing physics. Under pressures up to ~50 GPa, three superconducting phases (BST-I, -II, and -III) were observed.

Detection of Francisellaceae and the differentiation of main European F. tularensis ssp. holarctica strains (Clades) by new designed qPCR assays.

Background: The zoonotic and highly infectious pathogen Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of tularemia. Tularemia in humans is mainly caused by F. tularensis subspecies tularensis and holarctica, but Francisella species like F.

Bimetallic Uranium Complexes with 2,6-Dipicolinoylbis(,-Dialkylthioureas).

2,6-Dipicolinoylbis(-dialkylthioureas), HL, readily react with uranyl salts under formation of monomeric or dimeric complexes of the compositions [UO(L)(solv)] (solv = donor solvents such as HO, MeOH or DMF) or [{UO(L)(µ-OMe)}] (). In such complexes, the uranyl ions are exclusively coordinated by the "hard" ,, or donor atom sets of the central ligand unit and the lateral sulfur donor atoms do not participate in the coordination. Different conformations have been found for the dimeric anions.
