Psychosocial concerns in a context of prolonged political oppression: Gaza mental health providers' perceptions.

In this qualitative exploratory study, we investigated the perspectives of mental health providers in Gaza, Palestine, regarding the primary concerns of their clients who are exposed to low-intensity warfare and structural violence. We conducted qualitative interviews with 30 psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and psychiatrists providing services to communities in Gaza. Participants were asked to discuss their clients' most commonly occurring mental health problems, diagnoses, and psychosocial conditions.

Spectroscopic studies of UV irradiated erythrosine B thin films prepared by spin coating technique.

The spectroscopic studies of erythrosine B thin films manufactured by the spin coating technique have been presented. The spectra of infrared absorption allow characterization of vibrational modes for erythrosine B in powder form, pristine and UV irradiated thin films. The absorption spectra recorded in UV-vis-NIR for pristine films of erythrosine B display two main bands.

Prediction of Curve Correction Using Alternate Level Pedicle Screw Placement in Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) Lenke 1 and 2 Using Supine Side Bending (SB) and Fulcrum Bending (FB) Radiograph.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Objective: To compare side bending (SB) and fulcrum bending (FB) radiographs in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and effect of magnitude and AR curves on curve correctability.

Summary Of Background Data: The prediction of correction using side bending flexibility (SBF) and fulcrum bending flexibility (FBF) in alternate level pedicle screw (PS) configuration and effect of curve magnitude and AR curves are not well understood.

Influence of gamma ray irradiation and annealing temperature on the optical constants and spectral dispersion parameters of metal-free and zinc tetraphenylporphyrin thin films: A comparative study.

In this work, we report on the effect of γ-ray irradiation and annealing temperature on the optical properties of metal-free tetraphenylporphyrin, H2TPP, and zinc tetraphenylporphyrin, ZnTPP, thin films. Thin films of H2TPP and ZnTPP were successfully prepared by the thermal evaporation technique. The optical properties of H2TPP and ZnTPP films were investigated using spectrophotometric measurements of the transmittance and reflectance at normal incidence of light in the wavelength range from 200 to 2500 nm.

Fourier-transform infrared and optical absorption spectra of 4-tricyanovinyl-N,N-diethylaniline thin films.

Thin films of 4-tricyanovinyl-N,N-diethylaniline (TCVA) were prepared for the first time using thermal evaporation technique. The molecular structure and electronic transitions of TCVA films were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra. The observed vibrational wavenumbers in FTIR spectra were analysed and assigned to different normal modes of the molecule.

Optical absorption of tetraphenylporphyrin thin films in UV-vis-NIR region.

The optical absorption of thermally evaporated tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) in the UV-vis-NIR region have been studied. The absorption spectra recorded in the UV-vis region for the as deposited and annealed films showed different absorption bands, namely the Soret(B) at region 360-490nm, Q-band region consist of four bands in the region 500-720nm and two other bands labeled N and M in UV region. The Soret band always shows its characteristic effect splitting in all the TPP thin films and the effect of annealing on the intensities of these components have been observed.

Optical absorption of tetraphenylporphyrin thin films in UV-vis-NIR region.

The optical absorption of thermally-evaporated tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), in the UV-vis-NIR region has been studied. The absorption spectra recorded in the UV-vis region for the as-deposited and annealed films showed different absorption bands, namely the Soret, B, at region 360-490 nm, Q-band region consist of four bands in the region 500-720 nm and two other bands labeled N and M in UV region. The Soret band always shows splitting in all the TPP thin films and the effect of annealing on the intensities of these components have been observed.
