Autistic Girls but Not Boys Show a Strong Association Between Internalizing Symptoms and Social Motivation.

The current study examined the associations between internalizing symptoms, social motivation, and gender among autistic and non-autistic youth. Caregivers of 386 participants age 6 to 14 years completed measures of their child's internalizing symptoms and social motivation. Correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to compare internalizing symptoms and social motivation across autistic and non-autistic girls and boys.

Impact of nurse education prior to and during COVID-19 on nursing students' preparedness for clinical placement: A qualitative study.

Introduction: Nursing students internationally entered challenging clinical placements during COVID-19. Lessons learnt could inform nurse education planning, particularly in preparation to implement future workforce plans.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the impact of COVID-19 on nursing students undertaking clinical placements across the UK, particularly the extent to which nursing education prior to and during COVID-19 had prepared them for placements, and to distil key messages for future nursing education.

Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Capture from Diluted Streams with Functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks.

Capturing carbon dioxide from diluted streams, such as flue gas originating from natural gas combustion, can be achieved using recyclable, humidity-resistant porous materials. Three such materials were synthesized by chemically modifying the pores of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with Lewis basic functional groups. These materials included aluminum 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-carboxylatophenyl) benzene (Al-TCPB) and two novel MOFs: Al-TCPB(OH), and Al-TCPB(NH), both isostructural to Al-TCPB, and chemically and thermally stable.

Development and validation of an observational tool to measure engagement in telepractice early intervention.

Purpose: To develop and validate an evidence-based observational tool to measure engagement in telepractice early intervention (EI).

Materials And Methods: The Engagement in Telepractice Observational Tool (eTOT) was developed based on a previous e-Delphi study. Two independent raters used a set of 50 items to score 45 videorecorded telepractice EI sessions with young children with communication difficulties and their family.

Using Ecological Momentary Analysis to explore stigma experiences in the real world for adults with acquired hearing loss.

Objective: The aim of this study was to use Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to capture how stigma-induced identity threat is experienced by adults with hearing loss and how they respond to such threats in daily life.

Design And Study Sample: Twenty adults with hearing loss from 53 to 88 years (mean age of 69.4 years) completed a range of demographic and stigma questionnaires in the laboratory and, over a two-week period, answered daily EMA surveys.
