Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted during the COVID-19 lockdown to investigate how lifestyle habits, particularly sleep patterns, were disrupted in Mexico.
- Utilizing an online questionnaire, researchers surveyed 155 participants, predominantly young women, and identified two distinct groups based on their lifestyle characteristics.
- Results showed that younger individuals in Cluster 2 experienced more sleep problems during the lockdown compared to older individuals in Cluster 1, despite having no sleep issues prior to the lockdown.
This work presents an optoelectronic instrument designed for wireless visible light communication (WVLC) systems, operating within a wavelength range of 380-750 nm and compatible with standard radio frequency (RF) communication. The instrument encompasses two distinct architectures. The first enables the transmission and reception of RF-processed audio signals through a three-stage process involving RF signal transmission via Bluetooth, signal multiplexing using acousto-optic modulation, a sinusoidal grating, a PIN photodetector array, and final audio playback.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines attitudes and perceptions towards vaping among 495 undergraduate students across three universities in Mexico, focusing on the rising trend of e-cigarette use and its health risks.
- Findings reveal that 17.54% of participants vape, with most starting around 17 years old; many report vaping for over 100 days.
- The research highlights the importance of educating students on the health dangers associated with vaping and the chemicals in e-cigarette liquids, especially since younger students show earlier initiation compared to those from other regions.
Topaz (AlF(OH)SiO)/corundum (AlO) composites were prepared by a facile and novel reversible process from the sintering of synthetic topaz and AlF powders, with corundum formed into the topaz matrix. The corundum formation reaction occurs in the temperature range 875-975 °C, from 40 min sintering time, obtaining the topaz- AlF(OH)SiO/corundum- AlO composites. Although sintering temperature and time increment lead to higher corundum formation in the topaz matrix (78.
