The homogeneity test of glass plates in a Fizeau interferometer requires the measurement of the glass sample in reflected as well as in transmitted light. For the measurement in transmitted light, the sample has to be inserted into the ray path of a Fizeau or Twyman-Green interferometer, which leads to a nested cavity setup. To separate the interference signals from the different cavities, we illuminate a Fizeau interferometer with an adaptive frequency comb. In this way, rigid glass plates can be measured, and linear variations in the homogeneity can also be detected. The adaptive frequency comb is provided by a variable Fabry-Perot filter under broadband illumination from a superluminescence diode. Compared to approaches using a two-beam interferometer as a filter for the broadband light source, the visibility of the fringe system is considerably higher.

Urban-rural disparities in the association between social trust patterns and changes in depressive symptoms: longitudinal evidence from an elderly Chinese population.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Department of Health Policy and Management, School of Public Health, Peking University, Beijing, China
Objective: To examine the relationship between social trust and depressive symptoms among China's elderly, placing special emphasis on the disparities between urban and rural settings.
Design: We employed latent profile analysis to categorise individual patterns of social trust. Subsequently, multiple linear regression analysis was employed to determine if there was an association between these identified social trust patterns and depressive symptoms.
Background: Under-5 children have been known to bear a significant burden of malaria in endemic countries. Though significant progress has been made towards malaria prevention and control in Nigeria, it is expected that the addition of new malaria prevention strategy, such as perennial malaria chemoprevention (PMC) can contribute to a more rapid decline in malaria cases. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with malaria and anaemia among children aged 2-18 months in Osun State.

BMC Public Health

Emerging Disease Epidemiology Unit, Institut Pasteur, Université Paris Cité, Paris, 7572, France.
Introduction: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake in the French Caribbean has remained below 25% since introduction in 2007, which is well behind national and international targets. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE), we explored parental preferences around HPV vaccination and optimized communication content in a sample of parents of middle-school pupils in Guadeloupe.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey in public and private middle age schools in Guadeloupe in June 2023 using an online questionnaire.
Factors which influence social connection among cancer caregivers: an exploratory, interview study.
Support Care Cancer
January 2025
Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC, Australia.
Background/aims: Social connectedness is increasingly recognised as influencing health outcomes in cancer caregivers; however, there is little understanding of factors which foster feelings of social connectedness among caregivers when providing care. We sought to examine from the caregivers' perspective, factors which contribute to perceived social connection when providing care to someone with cancer.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 caregivers of people with cancer.
