In 1974, Junge postulated a relationship between variability of concentrations of gases in air at remote locations and their atmospheric residence time, and this Junge relationship has subsequently been observed empirically for a range of trace gases. Here, we analyze two previously-published datasets of concentrations of cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMS) in air and find Junge relationships in both. The first dataset is a time series of concentrations of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) measured between January and June, 2009 at a rural site in southern Sweden that shows a Junge relationship in the temporal variability of the measurements. The second dataset consists of measurements of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3), octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and D5 made simultaneously at 12 sites in the Global Atmospheric Passive Sampling (GAPS) network that shows a Junge relationship in the spatial variability of the three cVMS congeners. We use the Junge relationship for the GAPS dataset to estimate atmospheric lifetimes of dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6), 8:2-fluorotelomer alcohol and trichlorinated biphenyls that are within a factor of 3 of estimates based on degradation rate constants for reaction with hydroxyl radical determined in laboratory studies.

Affectivity as stance: multimodal stance-taking in audiovisual documentations of Polish and German parliamentary debates.

Faculty of Modern Languages and Literature, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland.
This paper presents a media-aesthetic framework to study affectivity as a stance. This framework opens up a new perspective on multimodal affective stance-taking in the context of specific media ecologies. It exemplifies this new approach with case studies of the official audiovisual documentation of political debates in the German Bundestag and the Polish Sejm.

At the same time, sexual contact is associated with risks, including early and/or unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and negative sexual experiences. In the present study, n = 84 inpatients in child and adolescent psychiatric and psychotherapeutic addiction treatment aged between 13 and 19 years were examined.

Objectives: A paucity of studies assesses the intersection of physical health (injury and illness), mental health and experiences of interpersonal violence (IV, also known as harassment and abuse) in sport. The objectives of this study were to examine the (a) frequency of self-reported physical and mental health problems of elite athletes in the 12 months prior to the survey, (b) differences in physical and mental health between male and female athletes and (c) relationship of athlete health with experiences of IV.
Methods: Elite adult athletes from four sports were approached at eight international events to answer an online questionnaire on their physical and mental health, as well as experiences of IV in sport within the past 12 months.

We describe a theoretical framework for the measurement of the intensity of emotional experiences and summarize findings of a series of studies that implemented this framework. Our approach is based on a realist view of quantities and combines the modern psychometric (i.e.

Article Synopsis
- Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs) are harmful, persistent organic compounds found in urban environments, posing risks to health and the ecosystem.
- The study measured PCDD/Fs from June 2022 to April 2023 and explored various models to analyze gas/particle (G/P) partitioning, employing nine different models for comparison.
- Results indicate that while some models under-predicted particle fractions, the Li-Ma-Yang model performed best, highlighting the significance of non-equilibrium conditions and the role of deposition in G/P partitioning.
