Developing culturally-adapted mobile mental health interventions: a mixed methods approach

Background Black young adults suffer from psychological distress at either similar or greater rates than that of White Americans, yet they are seven times less likely to have access to or receive effective treatments. Fortunately, mobile-health (mHealth) technology may transform mental health services and address disparities in mental healthcare. The current study utilized focus groups of Black young adults to inform the development of culturally-adapted mHealth using quantitative and qualitative approaches. Methods The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, in that qualitative (i.e., mini focus groups, n=11) and quantitative methods (i.e., self-report surveys) were used to explore the research questions. Participants included African American young adults (n=38, Mage =21). Participants completed self-report questionnaires prior to focus group facilitation. Correlational analyses were used to answer the quantitative research questions, and thematic analysis was used to answer the qualitative research questions. Results The qualitative findings highlighted that sociocultural experiences impact mental health and treatment seeking attitudes. Despite these findings, participants highlighted a variety of desired features and content that should be incorporated into future culturally-adapted mHealth interventions. Participants also highlighted both positive and negative aspects of current mHealth technologies for mental health. Finally, the study found that on average, participants had positive attitudes towards mental health, mental health treatments, and utilizing mHealth for mental health. Participants also had strong desires for culturally-adapted mHealth interventions. Bivariate correlations also revealed significant associations between vicarious online racial discrimination and mHealth attitudes, as well as racial identity and mHealth attitudes. Conclusions In summary, the current study highlights that there is an urgent need for mHealth technology for mental health symptoms for African American young adults and presents a variety of features, content, and design/development considerations for future researchers.
The Effect of Co-Fermentation with Lactobacillus plantarum HLJ29L2 and Yeast on Wheat Protein Characteristics in Sourdough and Crackers

Sourdough fermentation has been widely used in food products. However, there has been limited study of the effect of co-fermentation with lactic acid bacteria and yeast on the dough and cracker products. In this study, the influence of co-fermentation with Lactobacillus plantarum HLJ29L2 (LP HLJ29L2) and yeast on wheat protein digestibility of cracker was studied, and the mechanism of the protein changes in sourdough during fermentation was further explored. Co-fermentation with LP HLJ29L2 and yeast (DN-1) strongly improved the protein digestibility of cracker. At the same time, the content of free amino acids in DN-1 crackers increased by 20%. Co-fermentation also had significant effect on the sourdough during fermentation. The SDS-soluble protein content in sourdough was increased, and large molecule proteins were significantly reduced in the DN-1 sourdough. This was due to the fact, that LP HLJ29L2 grew rapidly during co-fermentation and produced more organic acids, which led to an increase in protease activity in sourdough and promoted the degradation of protein by proteases. The results of this study provide an important theoretical basis for the application of lactic acid bacteria and yeast co-fermentation in crackers.
Iconic buildings in the making of city identity: The role of aspirational identity artefacts

Iconic buildings are important meaning generators in cities. This study explores the role that iconic buildings in-the-making have in the discursive construction of city identity in public debate. Through the examination of the Locarno PalaCinema case (Switzerland), our study proposes that iconic buildings – during their planning – can serve as aspirational identity artefacts: objects that are mobilised in discourse to inform productive idealisations of city identity by powerful urban actors. Findings identify the mechanisms through which the aspirational artefact and city identity interact in discourse, showing that iconic building projects orient city identity claims, while at the same time city identity meanings taken from collective memory, present understandings and future aspirations are used by actors to infuse the evolving project with meaning. This study aims to contribute to debates in urban planning and city identity by discussing the identity anticipation role of the planning of iconic buildings and how they can be a productive ground to reflect, re-orient and re-claim the unique features of a city’s identity while aspiring to achieve a different future.
Nationwide Family Studies of Cardiovascular Diseases – Clinical and Genetic Implications of Family History

Studies of family history (FH) have long been used to estimate the heritability of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of several CVDs, such as coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, aortic aneurysm (AA), atrial fibrillation (AF), and venous thromboembolism (VTE), have found several novel gene loci and have revealed new biological mechanisms. However, most of the heritability for common CVDs remains to be discovered. Studies of FH will continue to be the easiest way to measure the inherited and non-genetic component of a CVD, as FH represents the sum of interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Many past FH studies of CVDs were hampered by recall and selection bias, small study sizes, retrospective case-control study designs, and a lack of follow-up data. Large nationwide register-based follow-up studies of FH have become possible in countries such as Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland. For instance, nationwide family studies of CVDs such as CHD, stroke, AA, AF, and VTE have been published. Such nationwide family studies may be very helpful for the planning of genetic studies to identify the missing heritability of CVDs. Moreover, reliable estimates of the familial risks of CVDs may be helpful for clinical risk assessment. In this article, the design, methodology, results, clinical and genetic implications, and pros and cons of nationwide FH studies are reviewed. The focus is on studies based on Swedish healthcare data. New findings from these studies will be summarised, and future opportunities will be presented.
An Extension of the General Latent Variable Growth Modeling Framework to Four Levels of the Hierarchy

In recent years, a number of statistical techniques for the analysis of longitudinal multilevel data have become available, allowing researchers the opportunity to study behavior at different levels (e.g., individual, family, school, neighborhood). Although many of these statistical approaches are widely available, they are still relatively underused, and there is uncertainty among researchers as to the appropriateness and usefulness of different approaches for analyzing longitudinal data. The purpose of this article is to present an extension of the general latent variable growth curve modeling framework to 4 levels of the hierarchy. This 4-level extension merges 2 common analytic approaches used in answering longitudinal multilevel research questions: (a) a full information maximum likelihood (ML) latent growth modeling approach using an extension of a factor-of-curves model and (b) a limited information multilevel latent growth modeling (LGM) approach using Muthén's ML-based estimator. Data comprised repeated observations over 4 time points from 250 adolescents in 125 households and 61 geographical sampling areas. Results demonstrate comparable outcomes and interpretations derived from the hierarchical LGM extension and regression-based techniques. Discussion includes a comparison of techniques, encompassing advantages and limitations.
Approximation of Multiple Stratonovich Fractional Integrals

Abstract We study multiple Riemann-Stieltjes integral approximations to multiple Stratonovich fractional integrals. Two standard approximations (Wong-Zakai and Mollifier approximations) are considered and we show the convergence in the mean square sense and uniformly on compact time intervals of these approximations to the multiple Stratonovich fractional integral.
Quantum and semiclassical steady states of a kicked cavity mode

We investigate classically and quantum-mechanically the coherent interaction between a single mode of the electromagnetic field and a stream of two-level atoms under the assumptions that only one atom at a time is coupled to the field and that the interaction times are all equal. This is a quantum-optics analog of a coherently kicked harmonic oscillator. We find that the classical system always evolves toward a marginally stable steady state at the threshold of type-1 intermittency, independently of the initial state of inversion of the atoms. But there are infinitely many such steady states, and which one is reached may depend sensitively on the initial conditions. In contrast, in the case of inverted atoms the quantized system usually does not reach a steady state: The intrinsic quantum fluctuations of the field almost always force it eventually to grow past the classical fixed points. A notable exception occurs under conditions such that the sequence of inverted atoms injected into the cavity leads to the preparation of a highly excited Fock state of the cavity mode.
Ultrawide stopband low-pass filter using triangular resonators defected ground

In this article, a novel complementary triangular split ring resonator (CTSRR) using defected ground structure (DGS) is introduced. The unit is implemented in microstrip technology. The CTSRR has unique filter characteristics, including six dimension-dependent finite attenuation poles with wide bandgap, very high attenuation rate, and very low level of passband ripples. CTSRR units with different dimensions CTSRR units are cascaded together to design a high-performance low-pass filter (LPF) with a cutoff frequency (fc) of 1.80 GHz. The designed LPF exhibits an attenuation rate of 250 dB/GHz and passband ripples of less than 0.30 dB. Moreover, it has a wide 20-dB stopband at up to 16.5 times fc. To our knowledge, this is the best obtained stopband value among the published results until now. The designed filter has been fabricated and validated using small signal parameter measurements. Excellent agreement is noticed between transmission coefficient measurements and its simulated counterpart using electromagnetic simulator.
Intrinsic Resistivity and Electron Mean Free Path in Aluminum Films

Measurements of the electrical resistivity at 296° and 4.2°K in aluminum films, evaporated both in an ion‐pumped ultrahigh‐vacuum system and in conventional oil‐pumped systems onto unheated glass substrates, are presented and used to calculate the intrinsic mean free path and intrinsic electrical resistivity at 4.2°K. It is shown that the UHV films are characterized by a maximum mean free path of the order of 1 μ and by smaller residual resistances than other films. While the mean free path so obtained is still several orders of magnitude smaller than the published value for high‐purity foils of bulk aluminum, it is nevertheless not small enough to appreciably influence the resistivity at 296°K which is measured to be ≈60% higher than the bulk value. This discrepancy, which may be due to structural effects, emphasizes the view that the sample artifact of adding the bulk thermal resistivity to a residual resistivity can be misleading in the case of thin films, even when surface scattering is accounted for.
EEG-Based Emotion Recognition for Hearing Impaired and Normal Individuals With Residual Feature Pyramids Network Based on Time–Frequency–Spatial Features

With the development of affective computing, discriminative feature selection is critical for electroencephalography (EEG) emotion recognition. In this article, we fused four EEG feature matrices constructed by the preprocessed signal, the differential entropy (DE), the symmetric difference, and the symmetric quotient based on the International 10–20 system, which integrates time-, frequency-, and spatial-domain information of EEG signals. For the feature classification model, we used the space-to-depth (S2D) layer instead of the convolutional neural network (CNN) as the backbone to reduce the calculation of the model without affecting the classification performance. The residual feature pyramid network (RFPN) was proposed to obtain the correlation of channels, and then, the deep multiscale semantic information of EEG feature maps is captured. The emotion classification strategy was evaluated by DEAP, SEED, SEED-IV, and our hearing-impaired EEG dataset (HIED). The classification accuracies were 93.56% (four-class, DEAP), 96.84% (three-class, SEED), 91.62% (four-class, SEED-IV), and 87.74% (six-class, HIED). Furthermore, we also found that the difference in emotional response between the left and right brain regions of hearing-impaired subjects is more obvious than that of normal subjects.
Familial Primary Biliary Cholangitis With Different Clinical Courses Based on Anti-gp210 Antibody Positivity: A Report of Two Cases

A 30-year-old woman (daughter) was diagnosed to have primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) overlap syndrome. Although she was started on prednisolone and ursodeoxycholic acid (UA), she eventually died of hepatic failure with gastrointestinal hemorrhage seven months after the initial hospitalization. A 60-year-old woman (mother) was diagnosed with PBC with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, was treated with UA, and had no disease progression. These familial PBC patients had different clinical courses. While the mother was negative for the anti-glycoprotein 210 (anti-gp210) antibody, the daughter was positive for the same. These findings suggest that anti-gp210 antibody positivity affects the prognosis of PBC, even in familial cases.
Paraventricular Nucleus of the Hypothalamus Oxytocin and Incubation of Heroin Seeking

Introduction: There are numerous pharmacologic treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD), but none that directly target the underlying addictive effects of opioids. Oxytocin, a peptide hormone produced in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, has been investigated as a potential therapeutic for OUD. Promising preclinical and clinical results have been reported, but the brain region(s) and mechanism(s) by which oxytocin impacts reward processes remain undetermined. Methods: Here, we assess peripherally administered oxytocin’s impacts on cued reinstatement of heroin seeking following forced abstinence and its effects on neuronal activation in the PVN and key projection regions. We also examine how designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drug (DREADD)-mediated activation or inhibition of oxytocinergic PVN neurons alters cued heroin seeking and social interaction. Results: As predicted, peripheral oxytocin administration successfully decreased cued heroin seeking on days 1 and 30 of abstinence. Oxytocin administration also led to increased neuronal activity within the PVN and the central amygdala (CeA). Activation of oxytocinergic PVN neurons with an excitatory (Gq) DREADD did not impact cued reinstatement or social interaction. In contrast, suppression with an inhibitory (Gi) DREADD reduced heroin seeking on abstinence day 30 and decreased time spent interacting with a novel conspecific. Discussion: These findings reinforce oxytocin’s therapeutic potential for OUD, the basis for which may be driven in part by increased PVN-CeA circuit activity. Our results also suggest that oxytocin has distinct signaling and/or other mechanisms of action to produce these effects, as inhibition, but not activation, of oxytocinergic PVN neurons did not recapitulate the suppression in heroin seeking.

Effect of Dietary Lipid Sources and Their Combinations on Growth and Fatty Acid Composition of Milkfish (Chanos chanos) Larvae

Background: The success of larval rearing is greatly influenced by first feeding regimes and the nutritional quality of weaning diets, with dietary lipids being recognized as one of the most important nutritional factors that affect larval growth and survival. Reports are scanty on milkfish larval nutrition and growth and survival unlike other marine species. Methods: In this investigation during 2020, five larval diets were prepared with 40 g kg-1 of entirely fish oil (F4), corn oil (C4) or fish oil and corn oil in 3:1 (F3C1), 2:2 (F2C2) and 1:3 (F1C3) ratios. Each diet was fed to triplicate groups of milkfish larvae (45 mg) in a flow-through rearing system for 42 days. Result: A growth indices were highest in the F3C1 group, followed by F2C2, F4 and other dietary treatments. The whole-body fatty acid profile was found to change significantly with increasing fish oil replacement with corn oil, i.e., the n-3 polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acid proportions decreased linearly, while the n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids content increased. Overall, this study reveals that growth and survival of milkfish is dependent on dietary lipid source or combinations that meet the essential fatty acid requirements during the early life stages.
Post-Stratification: A Modeler's Perspective

Abstract Post-stratification is a common technique in survey analysis for incorporating population distributions of variables into survey estimates. The basic technique divides the sample into post-strata, and computes a post-stratification weight w ih = rP h /r h for each sample case in post-stratum h, where r h is the number of survey respondents in post-stratum h, P h is the population proportion from a census, and r is the respondent sample size. Survey estimates, such as functions of means and totals, then weight cases by w h . Variants and extensions of the method include truncation of the weights to avoid excessive variability and raking to a set of two or more univariate marginal distributions. Literature on post-stratification is limited and has mainly taken the randomization (or design-based) perspective, where inference is based on the sampling distribution with population values held fixed. This article develops Bayesian model-based theory for the method. A basic normal post-stratification mod.
Novel 1,4-Dihydropyridine Derivatives as Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists

The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) belongs to the steroid receptor subfamily of nuclear receptors. MR is a transcription factor key in regulating blood pressure and mineral homeostasis. In addition, it plays an important role in a broad range of biological and pathological conditions, greatly expanding its interest as a pharmacological target. Non-steroidal MR antagonists (MRAs) are of particular interest to avoid side effects and achieve tissue-specific modulation of the receptor. The 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) ring has been identified as an appropriate scaffold to develop non-steroidal MRAs. We report the identification of a novel series of 1,4-DHP that has been guided by structure-based drug design, focusing on the less explored DHP position 2. Interestingly, substituents at this position might interfere with MR helix H12 disposition, which is essential for the recruitment of co-regulators. Several of the newly synthesized 1,4-DHPs show interesting properties as MRAs and have a good selectivity profile. These 1,4-DHPs promote MR nuclear translocation with less efficiency than the natural agonist aldosterone, which explains, at least in part, its antagonist character. Molecular dynamic studies are suggestive of several derivatives interfering with the disposition of H12 in the agonist-associated conformation, and thus, they might stabilize an MR conformation unable to recruit co-activators.
The Luminosity function for different morphological types in the CfA redshift survey

We derive the luminosity function for different morphological types in the original CfA Redshift Survey (CfA1) and in the first two slices of the CfA Redshift Survey Extension (CfA2). CfA1 is a complete sample containing 2397 galaxies distributed over 2.7 steradians with m(sub z) less than or equal 14.5. The first two complete slices of CfA2 contain 1862 galaxies distributed over 0.42 steradians with m(sub z)=15.5. The shapes of the E-S0 and spiral luminosity functions (LF) are indistinguishable. We do not confirm the steeply decreasing faint end in the E-S0 luminosity function found by Loveday et al. for an independent sample in the southern hemisphere. We demonstrate that incomplete classification in deep redshift surveys can lead to underestimates of the faint end of the elliptical luminosity function and could be partially responsible for the difference between the CfA survey and other local field surveys. The faint end of the LF for the Magellanic spirals and irregulars is very steep. The Sm-Im luminosity function is well fit by a Schechter function with M*=-18.79, alpha=-1.87, and phi*=0.6x10(exp -3) for M(sub z) less than or equal to -13. These galaxies are largely responsible for the excess at the faint end of the general CfA luminosity function. The abundance of intrinsically faint, blue galaxies nearby affects the interpretation of deep number counts. The dwarf population increases the expected counts at B=25 in a no-evolution, q(sub 0)=0.05 model by a factor of two over standard no-evolution estimates. These dwarfs change the expected median redshift in deep redshift surveys by less than 10 percent . Thus the steep Sm-Im LF may contribute to the reconciliation of deep number counts with deep redshift surveys.
Bounded Hankel Products on the Bergman Space of the Polydisk

Abstract We consider the problem of determining for which square integrable functions $f$ and $g$ on the polydisk the densely defined Hankel product ${{H}_{f}}\,H_{g}^{*}$ is bounded on the Bergman space of the polydisk. Furthermore, we obtain similar results for the mixed Haplitz products ${{H}_{g}}\,{{T}_{{\bar{f}}}}$ and ${{T}_{f}}\,H_{g}^{*}$ , where $f$ and $g$ are square integrable on the polydisk and $f$ is analytic.
Blaming Asians for coronavirus: the role of valenced framing and discrete emotions in hostile media effect

ABSTRACT Prior research indicates news sources affect hostile media perceptions, but the role of valenced framing and discrete emotions in perceived media bias remains under-explored. Based on the framing theory and hostile media effect, the study uses an experiment with 2 (CNN vs. Fox News) × 2 (Positive framing vs. Negative framing) design to examine the mediating role of discrete emotions (e.g. hope, anger, and sadness), as well as the moderating effects of racial prejudice. In contrast to prior scholarship, news sources in the study did not influence perceived media bias. However, the results show that hope, anger, and sadness all mediate the relationship between valenced framing and hostile media effect. Such effect was moderated by individuals’ racial prejudice. Implications of these findings for combating anti-Asian racism and future hostile media effect research are discussed.
