Sexual identity-related inequalities in associations between adverse childhood experiences and health in late adolescence-A national cohort study.

This study examined associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and mental health and health-risk behaviours, including differences by sexual minority (SM) identity. We included 8,686 adolescents (males = 50.7%, SM = 10.

Cornu-Spiral-Like Organic Crystal Waveguide Providing Discriminatory Optical Pathway for Smart Organic Photonic Circuit.

In the era of artificial intelligence, developing advanced and intelligent photonic circuits has become essential. In this work, the fabrication of a smart organic photonic circuit (OPC), is illustrated which utilizes a Cornu-spiral-like waveguide (CSW) to produce discriminating optical pathways in the circuit. The mechanical flexibility of Schiff base, (E)-1-(((5-iodopyridin-2-yl)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol (IPyIN) facilitates the fabrication of a first-of-its-kind, two-ring-based CSW via the atomic force microscopy cantilever tip-assisted mechanophotonics approach.

Spatially controllable and mechanically switchable isomorphous organoferroeleastic crystal optical waveguides and networks.

The precise, reversible, and diffusionless shape-switching ability of organic ferroelastic crystals, while maintaining their structural integrity, positions them as promising materials for next-generation hybrid photonic devices. Herein, we present versatile bi-directional ferroelasticity and optical waveguide properties of three isomorphous, halogen-based, Schiff base organic crystals. These crystals exhibit sharp bending at multiple interfaces driven by molecular movement around the CH = N bond and subsequent 180° rotational twinning, offering controlled light path manipulation.

Heteroatom doped biochar-aluminosilicate composite as a green alternative for the removal of hazardous dyes: Functional characterization and modeling studies.

In this work, a novel nitrogen-doped biochar bentonite composite was synthesized by a single-pot co-pyrolysis method. Batch studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of the developed composite in eliminating synthetic dyes from the aqueous matrix. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy imaging confirmed the N doping and bentonite impregnation into biochar.

Capturing the Interplay Between TADF and RTP Through Mechanically Flexible Polymorphic Optical Waveguides.

Polymorphism plays a pivotal role in generating a range of crystalline materials with diverse photophysical and mechanical attributes, all originating from the same molecule. Here, we showcase two distinct polymorphs: green (GY) emissive and orange (OR) emissive crystals of 5'-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-[2,2'-bithiophene]-5-carbaldehyde (TPA-CHO). These polymorphs display differing optical characteristics, with GY exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and OR showing room temperature phosphorescence (RTP).
