Empowering young people-the impact of camp experiences on personal resources, well-being, and community building.

Introduction: Personal resources and resources of the sociocultural environment help children and adolescents to successfully cope with challenges in everyday life, which is associated with better individual well-being. SCOUT, the 'Study on Competence development in OUT-of-school settings', investigated whether participation in a summer camp enhanced adolescents' personal resources, well-being, and readiness to contribute to the community.

Methods: The research took place during the Swiss National Jamboree of the Swiss Guide and Scout Movement, a two-week event in the summer of 2022, with a paper-pencil pretest (beginning of the camp - T1) and posttest (end of the camp - T2) survey ( = 607, aged 14-17).

Hexoprenaline Compared with Atosiban as Tocolytic Treatment for Preterm Labor.

Preterm birth is defined as a live birth before 37 weeks of gestation and is associated with increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of hexoprenaline and atosiban for short- and long-term tocolysis and their effects on neonatal and maternal outcomes. This retrospective cohort study included women with threatened preterm labor between 24 + 0 and 34 + 0 weeks of gestation without premature rupture of membranes.

Separation of the mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons of three and more aromatic rings from those of one or two aromatic rings.

An analytical method was developed for the quantitation of the mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons in cosmetic raw materials separating those of one or two aromatic rings from those of three and more aromatic rings. Normal phase high performance liquid chromatography was used with donor-acceptor complex chromatography. The composition of both fractions and the quantities of respective compounds were determined by comprehensive two dimensional gas chromatography with time of flight mass spectrometry and by liquid chromatography coupled to gas chromatography with flame ionization detection.

The influence of molecular structure on odor qualities and odor detection thresholds of volatile alkylated phenols.

The relationship between chemical structure and odor characteristics of aroma compounds is interesting in terms of establishing a fundamental understanding and, in the long term, a perspective for the prediction of odor qualities and intensities of unknown compounds; on the other hand, such studies provide a useful tool to analytically elucidate compounds that are exceptionally potent odor contributors to a specific smell. In this respect, a broad knowledge of compounds with regard to their odor threshold and smell specificities compiled in a comprehensive odor library would drastically simplify the chemoanalytical process in identifying aromas and smells. Whereas numerous odor-active substance classes have been investigated intensively, such relationships and fundamental data have hitherto not been established for volatile phenols.

Clinical experience in the treatment of normal tension glaucoma with latanoprost in Germany.

Aims: The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the general ophthalmologist's experience in using latanoprost to treat normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients.

Methods: NTG patients included in this study were part of an observational cohort of patients that were changed from previous therapy to latanoprost in Germany.

Results: This study included 200 NTG glaucoma patients who were being treated with latanoprost monotherapy (average duration, 1.
