The Salford Nature Environments Database (SNED): an open-access database of standardized high-quality pictures from natural environments.

The growing interest in harnessing natural environments to enhance mental health, including cognitive functioning and mood, has yielded encouraging results in initial studies. Given that images of nature have demonstrated similar benefits, they are frequently employed as proxies for real-world environments. To ensure precision and control, researchers often manipulate images of natural environments.

Observation of Topotactic Linker Reorganization in the Aperiodic Metal-Organic Framework TRUMOF-1.

We use synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements to monitor the solvothermal crystallization mechanism of the aperiodic metal-organic framework TRUMOF-1. Following an initial incubation period, TRUMOF-1 forms as a metastable intermediate that subsequently transforms into an ordered product with triclinic crystal symmetry. We determine the structure of this ordered phase, which we call msw-TRUMOF-1, and show that it is related to TRUMOF-1 through topotactic reorganization of linker occupancies.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with key stakeholders including the Care Home Education Facilitator postholder leading the pilot, care home managers, higher education institutions' placement managers/coordinators, student nurses and national health service staff.

K-Ion Slides in Prussian Blue Analogues.

We study the phenomenology of cooperative off-centering of K ions in potassiated Prussian blue analogues (PBAs). The principal distortion mechanism by which this off-centering occurs is termed a "K-ion slide", and its origin is shown to lie in the interaction between local electrostatic dipoles that couple through a combination of electrostatics and elastic strain. Using synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction measurements, we determine the crystal structures of a range of low-vacancy KM[Fe(CN)] PBAs (M = Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Cd) and establish an empirical link between composition, temperature, and slide-distortion magnitude.

Anion redox as a means to derive layered manganese oxychalcogenides with exotic intergrowth structures.

Topochemistry enables step-by-step conversions of solid-state materials often leading to metastable structures that retain initial structural motifs. Recent advances in this field revealed many examples where relatively bulky anionic constituents were actively involved in redox reactions during (de)intercalation processes. Such reactions are often accompanied by anion-anion bond formation, which heralds possibilities to design novel structure types disparate from known precursors, in a controlled manner.

Magneto-Structural Correlations in a Mixed Porphyrin(Cu )/Trityl Spin System: Magnitude, Sign, and Distribution of the Exchange Coupling Constant.

Tetrathiatriarylmethyl radicals (TAM or trityl) are receiving increasing attention in various fields of magnetic resonance such as imaging, dynamic nuclear polarization, spin labeling, and, more recently, molecular magnetism and quantum information technology. Here, a trityl radical attached via a phenyl bridge to a copper(II)tetraphenylporphyrin was synthesized, and its magnetic properties studied by multi-frequency continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. EPR revealed that the electron spin-spin coupling constant J between the trityl and Cu spin centers is ferromagnetic with a magnitude of -2.

Geometric Frustration on the Trillium Lattice in a Magnetic Metal-Organic Framework.

In the dense metal-organic framework Na[Mn(HCOO)_{3}], Mn^{2+} ions (S=5/2) occupy the nodes of a "trillium" net. We show that the system is strongly magnetically frustrated: the Néel transition is suppressed well below the characteristic magnetic interaction strength; short-range magnetic order persists far above the Néel temperature; and the magnetic susceptibility exhibits a pseudo-plateau at 1/3-saturation magnetization. A simple model of nearest-neighbor Heisenberg antiferromagnetic and dipolar interactions accounts quantitatively for all observations, including an unusual 2-k magnetic ground state.

A Large-scale Multicenter Study of Academic Resilience and Well-being in Pharmacy Education.

Health care students are at particular risk of stress and exposure to adverse events, negatively affecting well-being and performance and leading to increased attrition. Academic resilience has been identified as one factor helping mitigate such negative effects in students. Despite this, there is limited research exploring the topic in pharmacy education.

Investigations of the Magnetocaloric and Thermal Expansion Properties of the Ln(adipate)(DMF) (Ln = Gd-Er) Framework Series.

The development of sustainable and efficient cryogenic cooling materials is currently the subject of extensive research, with the aim of relieving the dependence of current low-temperature cooling methods on expensive and nonrenewable liquid helium. One potential method to achieve this is the use of materials demonstrating the magnetocaloric effect, where the cycling of an applied magnetic field leads to a net cooling effect due to changes in magnetic entropy upon application and removal of an external magnetic field. This study details the synthesis and characterization of a Ln(adipate)(DMF) series (where Ln = Gd-Er) of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials incorporating a flexible adipate ligand and their associated magnetocaloric and thermal expansion properties.

Intercalates of BiSe studied in situ by time-resolved powder X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction.

Intercalation of lithium and ammonia into the layered semiconductor BiSe proceeds via a hyperextended (by >60%) ammonia-rich intercalate, to eventually produce a layered compound with lithium amide intercalated between the bismuth selenide layers which offers scope for further chemical manipulation.

Single-step synthesis and interface tuning of core-shell metal-organic framework nanoparticles.

Control over the spatial distribution of components in metal-organic frameworks has potential to unlock improved performance and new behaviour in separations, sensing and catalysis. We report an unprecedented single-step synthesis of multi-component metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles based on the canonical ZIF-8 (Zn) system and its Cd analogue, which form with a core-shell structure whose internal interface can be systematically tuned. We use scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy and a new composition gradient model to fit high-resolution X-ray diffraction data to show how core-shell composition and interface characteristics are intricately controlled by synthesis temperature and reaction composition.

Exploring Cation-Anion Redox Processes in One-Dimensional Linear Chain Vanadium Tetrasulfide Rechargeable Magnesium Ion Cathodes.

For magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) to be used commercially, new cathodes must be developed that show stable reversible Mg intercalation.

Transparency of assessment decision-making when students are not meeting required levels of proficiency in clinical practice.

This paper discusses the context of assessing nursing and midwifery students who are not meeting required levels of proficiency in clinical practice. The paper then outlines an action plan protocol designed to assist supervisors and assessors examine the credibility of their assessment decisions in these circumstances. Development of the protocol draws on a comprehensive review of evidence and original research showing the personal, professional and organizational pressures faced when a student is failing to achieve proficiency in clinical practice.

Single phase charge ordered stoichiometric CaFeO with commensurate and incommensurate trimeron ordering.

Mixed-valent transition metal compounds display complex structural, electronic and magnetic properties which can often be exquisitely tuned. Here the charge-ordered state of stoichiometric CaFeO is probed using neutron powder diffraction, Monte Carlo simulation and symmetry analysis. Magnetic ordering is dominated by the formation of ferromagnetic Fe-Fe-Fe trimers which are evident above the magnetic ordering transition.

Synthesis, Structure, and Compositional Tuning of the Layered Oxide Tellurides SrMnOCuTe and SrCoOCuTe.

The synthesis and structure of two new transition metal oxide tellurides, SrMnOCuTe and SrCoOCuTe, are reported. SrCoOCuTe with the purely divalent Co ion in the oxide layers has magnetic ordering based on antiferromagnetic interactions between nearest neighbors and appears to be inert to attempted topotactic oxidation by partial removal of the Cu ions. In contrast, the Mn analogue with the more oxidizable transition metal ion has a 9(1)% Cu deficiency in the telluride layer when synthesized at high temperatures, corresponding to a Mn oxidation state of +2.

Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of the Layered Oxide Chalcogenides SrCuOCuS and SrCuOCuSe.

The structures of two new oxide chalcogenide phases, SrCuOCuS and SrCuOCuSe, are reported, both of which contain infinite CuO planes containing Cu and which have Cu ions in the sulfide or selenide layers. Powder neutron diffraction measurements show that SrCuOCuSe exhibits long-range magnetic ordering with a magnetic structure based on antiferromagnetic interactions between nearest-neighbor Cu ions, leading to a √2 a × √2 a × 2 c expansion of the nuclear cell. The ordered moment of 0.

First-line therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder: A systematic review of cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic approaches.

Background: Despite evidence supporting cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)-based interventions as the most effective approach for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in randomised control trials, alternative treatment interventions are often used in clinical practice. Psychodynamic (PDT)-based interventions are one example of such preferred approaches, this is despite comparatively limited available evidence supporting their effectiveness for treating PTSD.

Aims: Existing research exploring effective therapeutic interventions for PTSD includes trauma-focused CBT involving exposure techniques.
