Low-Temperature Ferromagnetic Order in a Two-Level Layered Co Material.

The magnetic properties of a 2D layered material consisting of high-spin Co complexes, [Co(NHNH)(HO)Cl]Cl ( ), have been extensively characterized using electron paramagnetic resonance, magnetic susceptibility, and low-temperature heat capacity measurements. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy studies suggest that below 50 K, the = 3/2 orbital triplet state of Co is gradually depopulated in favor of the = 1/2 spin state, which is dominant below 20 K. In light of this, the magnetic susceptibility has been fitted with a two-level model, indicating that the interactions in this material are much weaker than previously thought.

A gradual separation from the world: commentary on a qualitative exploration of existential loneliness in old age.

Aims And Methods: Loneliness is a prevalent and significant issue. It has been identified as a particularly important physical and mental health risk for older people. This article critically explores and discusses a recent study that sought to qualitatively explore the lived experiences of existential loneliness in a large sample of older people living in retirement community contexts.

"They want you to know who they really are inside of the old visage"-biographical storytelling as a methodological tool to explore emotional challenges in old age.

Background: Growing older is often associated with resilience, contentedness and inner growth. Older people however are also at risk of confronting unique emotional challenges as a result of varied ageing-related experiences. By employing a biographical lens, we aim to introduce storytelling as a methodological tool to more holistically explore older people's emotional challenges and to improve their wellbeing.

Tracing the international arrivals of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants after Aotearoa New Zealand reopened its border.

In the second quarter of 2022, there was a global surge of emergent SARS-CoV-2 lineages that had a distinct growth advantage over then-dominant Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 lineages.

Quantum Spin-1/2 Dimers in a Low-Dimensional Tetrabromocuprate Magnet.

This work describes a homometallic spin- tetrabromocuprate adopting a bilayer structure. Magnetic-susceptibility measurements show a broad maximum centred near 70 K, with fits to this data using a Heisenberg model consistent with strong antiferromagnetic coupling between neighbouring copper atoms in different layers of the bilayer. There are further weak intralayer ferromagnetic interactions between copper cations in neighbouring dimers.

'They're Going to Die at Some Point, but We're all Going to Die' - A Qualitative Exploration of Bereavement in Later Life.

This article reports on a qualitative study to investigate what bereavement means to older people. Drawing upon 80 in-depth interviews collected from eight British and Australian retirement communities, our study revealed that facing bereavement while ageing includes experiences of losing both others and the wholeness of the self. Core themes identified how the experience of losing others can be compounded by ageing-related challenges, undermining older people's defence from bereavement and frustrating their fundamental meaning and being.

"We Are Good Neighbors, But We Are Not Carers!": Lived Experiences of Conflicting (In)dependence Needs in Retirement Villages Across the United Kingdom and Australia.

Background And Objectives: This study sought to qualitatively explore the lived experiences of 80 older people living in retirement villages across the United Kingdom and Australia. We focused on residents' narratives around the themes of independence/dependence.

Research Design And Methods: Qualitative semistructured interviews permitted in-depth exploration of how older people understood and experienced issues related to independence/dependence in the context of retirement living.

Is Parental Attachment Security Contextual? Exploring Context-Specific Child-Parent Attachment Patterns and Psychological Well-Being in Taiwanese Youths.

Scant research to date has explored the possibility of context-specific variation in attachment security within a given relationship. In this paper, two cross-sectional studies were designed (1) to develop and validate context-specific attachment scales in Traditional-Chinese and (2) to explore variations in attachment security within a given parental relationship but between the contexts of sport and academics, relating them to global attachment patterns and indicators of psychological well-being. Results indicated that Taiwanese youth can and do perceive contextual variation within a given parental relationship.

A Critical Exploration of Child-Parent Attachment as a Contextual Construct.

Bowlby's attachment theory has been employed as a broad and integrative framework to explore human wellness across a range of disciplines. Attachment theory has even been labelled one of the last surviving "grand theories" not to have been completely dismissed, replaced, or extensively reworked. However, despite the ubiquitous nature of some of the theory's fundamental tenets, there are always possibilities for new conceptual development, extension, and revision.

Fostering secure attachment: experiences of animal companions in the foster home.

This study sought to use attachment theory as a lens through which to explore children's relationships with animal companions in the context of long-term foster care. Inductive and deductive thematic analyses of longitudinal case study data from eight children and their foster families suggested (a) that children's relationships with animal companions satisfied attachment-related functions in their own right and (b) that animal companions also helped to soften perceptions of foster caregivers, facilitating opportunities for the development of closeness. Animals in the foster home may therefore play an important part in helping children to find and develop secure, warm, and loving relationships.

The physiological response to cold-water immersion following a mixed martial arts training session.

Combative sport is one of the most physically intense forms of exercise, yet the effect of recovery interventions has been largely unexplored. We investigated the effect of cold-water immersion on structural, inflammatory, and physiological stress biomarkers following a mixed martial arts (MMA) contest preparation training session in comparison with passive recovery. Semiprofessional MMA competitors (n = 15) were randomly assigned to a cold-water immersion (15 min at 10 °C) or passive recovery protocol (ambient air) completed immediately following a contest preparation training session.

Urinary myoglobin quantification by high-performance liquid chromatography: An alternative measurement for exercise-induced muscle damage.

This study investigated a means of quantifying urinary myoglobin using a novel reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method that is an alternative measure of exercise-induced muscle damage. It also investigated the effect of storage and alkalization on urinary myoglobin stability issues. An RP-HPLC method was validated by precision and repeatability experiments.

Full counting statistics in the self-dual interacting resonant level model.

We present a general technique to obtain the zero temperature cumulant generating function of the full counting statistics of charge transfer in interacting impurity models out of equilibrium from time-dependent simulations on a lattice. We demonstrate the technique with application to the self-dual interacting resonant level model, where very good agreement between numerical simulations using the density matrix renormalization group and those obtained analytically from the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz is found. We show from the exact form of counting statistics that the quasiparticles involved in transport carry charge 2e in the low bias regime and e/2 in the high bias regime.

Consciously identified attachment hierarchies: cognitive accessibility of attachment figure names as a function of threat primes in a lexical decision task.

Studies have linked the subliminal priming of threat-related words to heightened cognitive accessibility directed towards the names of identified attachment figures. The present study used a lexical decision task to examine the cognitive accessibility of names of individuals who formed part of participants' self-reported attachment hierarchies. We did not find support for heightened accessibility in relation to the names of (a) consciously identified attachment figures in general, (b) full-blown attachment figures, or (c) primary attachment figures.

Effect of a local perturbation in a fermionic ladder.

We study the effect of a local external potential on a system of two parallel spin-polarized nanowires placed close to each other. For single-channel nanowires with repulsive interaction we find that transport properties of the system are highly sensitive to the transverse gradient of the perturbation: the asymmetric part completely reflects the electrons leading to vanishing conductance at zero temperature, while the flat potential remains transparent. We envisage a possible application of this unusual property in the sensitive measurement of local potential field gradients.

Assessment of deviant arousal in adult male sex offenders with developmental disabilities.

Ten individuals, residing in a treatment facility specializing in the rehabilitation of sex offenders with developmental disabilities, participated in an arousal assessment involving the use of the penile plethysmograph. The arousal assessments involved measuring change in penile circumference to various categories of stimuli both appropriate (adult men and women) and inappropriate (e.g.

An examination of multiple goals in children's physical education: motivational effects of goal profiles and the role of perceived climate in multiple goal development.

In this paper, I present data from two studies that sought to examine multiple achievement goals in the context of children's physical education (PE). Study 1 examined the links that multiple-goal profiles (i.e.

Spectrum and correlation functions of a quasi-one-dimensional quantum Ising model.

For a model of weakly coupled quantum Ising chains we outline the phase diagram and establish that well below the transition line the system has a remarkably one-dimensional spectrum. We study the dynamical magnetic susceptibility and find a very rich spectrum with several modes corresponding to a fundamental particle and its bound states. The approach is based on the Bethe ansatz and the random phase approximation applied to the interchain exchange.
