Objectives: Third wave cognitive behavioural therapies are increasingly used with children and adolescents. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of four third-wave interventions (acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focused therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and metacognitive therapy) for youth.
Methods: Four electronic databases were used to identify randomized controlled trials, which tested effects related to health, well-being and functioning. Sensitivity analyses considering study quality were conducted and moderators were explored.
Results: The results based on 50 RCTs meeting inclusion criteria indicated emotional symptoms/internalizing problems (g = -.68, 95% CI -.98 to -.37, k = 43, N = 3265), behavioural difficulties/externalizing problems (g = -.62, 95% CI -1.01 to -.22, k = 23, N = 1659), interference from difficulties (g = -.46, 95% CI -.87 to -.05, k = 21, N = 1786), third wave processes (g = .39, 95% CI .17 to .62, k = 22, N = 1900), wellbeing/flourishing (g = .76, 95% CI .35 to 1.17, k = 21, N = 1303) and physical health/pain (g = .72, 95% CI .01 to 1.44, k = 9, N = 1171) yielded significant effects. Effect for quality of life (g = .62, 95% CI -.08 to 1.31, k = 12, N = 1271) was non-significant. When analysing only those studies rated moderate-high quality, third wave interventions yielded significant superiority effects compared to controls for emotional symptoms/internalizing problems (g = -.55, 95% CI -.82 to -.27, k = 28, N = 2110), interference from difficulties (g = -.48, 95% CI -.90 to -.05, k = 21, N = 1605), third wave processes (g = .27, 95% CI .11 to .43, k = 18, N = 1692), well-being/flourishing (g = .50, 95% CI .18 to .81, k = 16, N = 1063), and quality of life (g = .32, 95% CI .04 to .60, k = 10, N = 1212). Behavioural difficulties/externalizing problems (g = -.38, 95% CI -.86 to .10, k = 15, N = 1351) and physical health/pain (g = .52, 95% CI -.14 to 1.17, k = 8, N = 1139) ceased to be significant. Widespread heterogeneity raised concerns about generalizability and follow-up data was relatively sparse.
Conclusions: This meta-analysis finds promising results for use of third wave CBT with youth, though the review has limitations.

Because of their natural 1D structure combined with intricate chiral variations, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit various exceptional physical properties, such as ultrahigh thermal conductivity and diameter-dependent electrical behavior, ranging from semiconducting to metallic. While CNTs excel individually at the nanoscale, their 1D and chiral nature can be lost on a macroscopic scale when they are randomly assembled. Therefore, the alignment and organization of CNTs in macroscopic structures is crucial for harnessing their full potential.

Objective: The body roundness index (BRI) and circadian syndrome (CircS) are considered new risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet it remains uncertain whether elevated BRI is associated with CVD incidence in CircS patients. In this study, we investigated the association between BRI and CVD occurrence among CircS participants.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 8,888 participants aged ≥45 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS 2011-2020 wave).
Slow Wave Sleep and Emotion Regulation in Adolescents With Depressive Symptoms: An Experimental Pilot Study.

Emotion regulation deficits are a hallmark of adolescent depression, and sleep greatly impacts emotion regulation. Initial data indicate acute mood benefits of slow-wave sleep deprivation (SWSD) in depressed adults, but it is unclear whether this may occur through improvement in emotion regulation. In addition, this has not been tested experimentally in adolescent depression.

For computing the magnetic shielding in solids, density functional theory as implemented in a plane wave basis has proven to be a reasonably accurate and efficient framework, at least for lighter atoms through the third row of the periodic table. In materials with heavier atoms, terms not usually included in the electronic Hamiltonian can become significant, limiting accuracy. Here we derive and implement the zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA) relativistic terms in the presence of both external magnetic fields and internal nuclear magnetic dipoles, to derive the ZORA-corrected magnetic shielding in the context of periodic boundary conditions and a plane wave basis.

We present the theory and implementation of a relativistic third-order algebraic diagrammatic construction [ADC(3)] method based on a four-component (4c) Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian for the calculation of ionization potentials (IPs), electron affinities (EAs), and excitation energies (EEs). Benchmarking calculations for IP, EA, and EE were performed on both atomic and molecular systems to assess the accuracy of the newly developed four-component relativistic ADC(3) method. The results show good agreement with the available experimental data.
