An Expert Consensus Statement for Implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Nightmares in Adults.

Objectives: Research supports cognitive behavioral therapies for nightmares (CBT-N) in adults. However, the nuances of implementation and unstandardized nomenclature for treatment components has created confusion in the field. To provide clarification, an expert consensus panel convened to review treatment manual components and to develop guidelines for the standardized implementation and terminology of CBT-N.

Unveiling errors in soil microbial community sequencing: a case for reference soils and improved diagnostics for nanopore sequencing.

The sequencing platform and workflow strongly influence microbial community analyses through potential errors at each step. Effective diagnostics and experimental controls are needed to validate data and improve reproducibility. This cross-laboratory study evaluates sources of variability and error at three main steps of a standardized amplicon sequencing workflow (DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction [PCR], and sequencing) using Oxford Nanopore MinION to analyze agricultural soils and a simple mock community.

Understanding the sexual and reproductive health rights and experiences of very young adolescents in rural Uganda from the perspectives of emerging adults.

We investigated the sexual and reproductive health rights and experiences of very young adolescents (VYAs), 10-14 years old, from the perspective of emerging adults (18-25 years old). Data collection and analysis were guided by the socio-ecological and positive youth development frameworks. Data were collected through naturalistic observation of the community, photovoice, key informant interviews (n=5), and focus group discussions with emerging adults (n=20).

Mixed-Species Cover Crop Biomass Estimation Using Planet Imagery.

Cover crop biomass is helpful for weed and pest control, soil erosion control, nutrient recycling, and overall soil health and crop productivity improvement. These benefits may vary based on cover crop species and their biomass. There is growing interest in the agricultural sector of using remotely sensed imagery to estimate cover crop biomass.
