BackgroundBecause there is a relationship between mental health (MH) and medical adversity and autonomic dysregulation, we hypothesized that individuals infected with COVID-19 would report greater current autonomic reactivity and more MH difficulties (emotional distress, mindfulness difficulties, and posttraumatic stress). We also hypothesized that individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 who are experiencing difficulties related to their prior adversity and those providing medical care to COVID-19 patients would be more negatively impacted due to their increased stress and infection rates.MethodUS participants (N = 1,638; 61% female; Age M = 46.80) completed online self-report measures of prior adversity, current autonomic reactivity and current MH difficulties, and COVID-19 diagnosis history. Participants diagnosed with COVID-19 (n = 98) were more likely to be younger and providing medical care to COVID-19 patients.ResultsIndividuals diagnosed with COVID-19 reported increased current autonomic reactivity, being more negatively impacted by their prior MH/medical adversities, and currently experiencing more MH difficulties with an increased likelihood of clinically-significant PTSD and depression (p &lt; 0.01 – p &lt; 0.001). Current autonomic reactivity mediated 58.9% to 85.2% of the relationship between prior adversity and current MH difficulties; and COVID-19 diagnosis moderated and enhanced the effect of prior adversity on current autonomic reactivity (p &lt; 0.01). Being a medical provider was associated with increased current autonomic reactivity (p &lt; 0.01), while moderating and enhancing the relationship between current autonomic reactivity and emotional distress and posttraumatic stress symptoms (p &lt; 0.05). Combining COVID-19 diagnosis with being a medical provider increased likelihood of clinically-significant PTSD and depression (p &lt; 0.01).ConclusionIndividuals diagnosed with COVID-19, particularly medical providers, have increased current autonomic reactivity that is associated with their prior adversities and current MH difficulties.

ContextFoundational Capabilities (FC) are the public health (PH) infrastructure areas that are essential for local health departments (LHDs) to support a “minimum package” of programs and services that promote population health. Despite being a critical component of LHD programs, FC are chronically underfunded, and studies specific to the relationship between LHD FC expenditures and their performance—the LHDs' ability to provide essential PH programs and services to their community—have not been previously reported. Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) accreditation is a nationally recognized accreditation program for PH agencies. PHAB accreditation assesses LHDs' performance against sets of standards that are based on the 10 essential PH services. Alignment between FC and the PHAB standards presents a means for assessing LHD FC expenditures relative to their performance in PHAB accreditation standards.ObjectivesWe examined the association between LHD total FC expenditures, as well as FC funding allocation patterns, and performance score on selected PHAB accreditation standards.MethodsWe used Bayesian regression methods to estimate the coefficients for the aggregate performance score, and performance scores on individual PHAB standards.ResultsAnalyses showed that a dollar increase in total FC expenditures is associated with a 0.2% increase in the aggregate performance score in selected PHAB standards as well as the performance score on most of the standards examined. LHDs that allocated FC budgets more evenly across FC programs were found to be more likely to have higher scores.ConclusionsInvestment in FC could improve LHD performance scores in PHAB accreditation standards and support LHDs' capability for improving community health outcomes. Allocating available FC resources across the various FC programs could support better LHD performance, as indicated by accreditation scores. This study contributes to advancing the understanding of public health finances in relation to performance and could help guide effective LHD resource allocation.

IntroductionResilience refers to the ability to adapt to difficult situation or adversity. Resilience is what gives people the psychological strength to cope with stress and hardship. Previous studies have investigated the relationship between resilience and bullying victimization and mental health problems. But whether the moderating effect of resilience against depression varies among victims of different types of bullying victimization remains unknown.MethodsThe study used data from the Taiwan Adolescent to Adult Longitudinal Study (TAALS), which was a school based, nationwide, longitudinal study conducted among adolescents in Taiwan. Between 2015 and 2019, the survey was repeated three times to capture changes in health behaviors. Meanwhile, our study is a cross-sectional study focusing on the 2nd follow-up survey of the TAALS, where we recruited 4,771 Grade 7 (12–13 years) and Grade 10 (15–16 years) students who had experienced bullying at school.ResultsThis study confirms the protective effect of resilience on depression among adolescents who have experienced bullying. The mode resilience score was used as a reference group. Compared to the reference group, victims of verbal bullying from the lowest resilience group were at the greatest risk of depression (OR = 5.91, CI = 4.38–7.99). Compared to the reference group, victims of cyber bullying from the highest resilience group had the lowest risk of depression (OR = 0.72, CI = 0.57–0.90).ConclusionRegardless of the type of bullying victimization, resilience has been shown to offer protection against depression. Specifically, higher resilience levels offer the greatest protection against depression for victims of cyber bullying compared to other three types of bullying victimization. Early interventions to reduce negative effects of bullying victimization may start with increasing an individual's resilience during adolescence.
Sensitive and Representative Extraction of Petroleum-Based Ignitable Liquids From Fire Debris For Confirmatory Analysis of Canine-Selected Exhibits
Authors: Abel Robin J. , Harynuk James J. 
Published: May 2022

Fire debris analysis is focused on the recovery and identification of ignitable liquids to provide context for fire investigation. Investigators use a variety of methods to select suspicious debris for analysis, with ignitable liquid detection canines being one of the most popular. When properly trained and certified, ignitable liquid detection canines offer continuous sampling with high sensitivity and the ability to discriminate between irrelevant and suspicious odours to rapidly locate debris which may contain ignitable liquid residues. However, canine indications are presumptive as they cannot be sufficiently scrutinised by the legal process without confirmatory laboratory analysis. Standard debris analysis methods detect very small amounts of ignitable liquid residue (∼1-0.1 μL) without maximising sensitivity which minimises the risk from false positives and from detection of background petroleum which is ubiquitous in our environment. For canine-selected debris, the goal of the laboratory analysis should be to provide data to confirm or refute the validity of the canine indication. For such confirmatory analysis to be useful, analytical sensitivity should approximate the sensitivity of the canine. The sensitivity of fire debris analysis is most influenced by the selection of the extraction device and tuning of extraction conditions. Non-destructive extractions are preferred for forensic analyses, and solid phase microextraction (SPME) offers an excellent option. However, the original SPME fibres are fragile and tend to skew the chromatographic profile which can lead to high costs and a risk of ignitable liquid misclassification. Herein, we present an optimised SPME extraction method suited to confirmatory analysis of canine-selected exhibits. The method is non-destructive and non-exhaustive, is easily applied to cans of debris, and yields chromatographic profiles equivalent to those obtained by the gold-standard passive headspace sampling (PHS) methods based on activated carbon. Fibre selection, debris temperature, fibre temperature, and extraction time were optimised to yield chromatographic profiles with maximum comparability to reference samples collected as neat liquids or standard PHS extracts. The optimised method is applied to samples recovered from another study which estimated the threshold of the canine’s sensitivity, with the laboratory result compared to the canine result for each sample.

Published: May 2022

During the synthesis of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), various occupational exposures occur, leading to health consequences. To date, there is paucity of studies focused on modeling the deposition of nanoparticles emitted from ENMs synthesis processes. This study aimed to characterise and assess exposure to gold (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) during a synthesis process in a research laboratory in South Africa. AuNPs and AgNPs synthesis processes were monitored for an hour in a laboratory using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer. The monitoring was conducted at a height of 1.2–1.5 m (m) and 1.5 m away from the hood, assuming a 30 cm (cm) breathing circumference zone. Each synthesis process was monitored thrice to generate reliable point estimates, which were used to assess exposure over 8 hours. A time-weighted average concentration was calculated and compared to the derived 8-h occupational exposure limit (OEL) for AgNPs (0.19 μg/m3) and the proposed provisional nano reference value for AuNPs (20,000 particles/cm3). The Multiple-Path Particle Dosimetry model was used to calculate the deposition and retention of both AuNPs and AgNPs. NPs emitted during the synthesis process were dominant in the nuclei (79% for AuNPs and 54% for AgNPs), followed by the Aitken (12% for AuNPs and 29% for AgNPs), with fewer particles in the accumulation mode (9.2% for AuNPs and 17% for AgNPs). AuNPs and AgNPs generated during the synthesis process were determined at 1617.3 ± 102 cm3 (0.046 μg/m3) and 2,687 cm3 ± 620 (0.077 μg/m3), respectively. For the three exposure scenarios, none exceeded the occupational exposure limit for both AuNPs (provisional) and AgNPs (OEL). Workers in the synthesis laboratory are exposed to a concentration below the recommended occupational exposure limit for silver and the proposed provisional nano reference value for gold. Although, the concentrations to which laboratory workers are exposed to are below safe levels, the assessment of the lung deposition patterns indicate a high particle lung retention which raise concerns about long term safety of workers.

Published: May 2022

This study investigated vascular density and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in patients with keratoconus (KC). Participants with KC and healthy controls were included and underwent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), keratometry, anterior segment OCT, and macular OCT-A examinations. Of the 70 subjects (mean age 42.9 ± 15.31 years), 79 KC and 47 healthy eyes were included. Significant reductions in the KC group were recorded for the FAZ area, with a mean (±SD) of 0.19 ± 0.12 vs. 0.25 ± 0.09 mm2 p < 0.001. Central vascular density in KC patients was lower compared with the controls: 6.78 ± 4.74 vs. 8.44 ± 3.33 mm−1 p = 0.049; the inner density was also decreased in the study group (13.64 ± 5.13 vs. 16.54 ± 2.89 mm−1, p = 0.002), along with the outer density (14.71 ± 4.12 vs. 16.88 ± 2.42 mm−1, p = 0.004) and full density (14.25 ± 4.30 vs. 16.57 ± 2.48) p = 0.003. Furthermore, BCVA was positively correlated with central vascular density (R = 0.42 p = 0.004, total R = 0.40, p = 0.006) and inner density (R = 0.44, p = 0.002) in patients with KC but not in controls. Additionally, we found a correlation between K2 and inner vascular density (R = −0.30, p = 0.043) and central epithelium thickness and outer density (R = 0.03, p = 0.046). KC patients had lower macular vascular density and a smaller FAZ than healthy participants. The BCVA in KC patients was correlated with the vascular density.

Abstract
We synthesized monoclinic bismuth vanadate (m-BiVO4) nanoparticles via the sol-gel method. The modulation depths were 20.1% and 8.8% at 1.34 and 2 μm, respectively. Passively Q-switched bulk lasers with m-BiVO4 saturable absorber were demonstrated operating at 1.34 and 2 μm. At 1.34 μm, the shortest pulse duration was 355 ns with a pulse repetition frequency of 242.6 kHz, while in a Tm-doped bulk laser at ∼2 μm, the minimum pulse width was 540 ns with a pulse repetition rate of 53.7 kHz. Results showed that m-BiVO4 possessed good broadband optical nonlinearities and can be applied for the optical pulse generation.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
A small-volume hot-wall batch reactor with excess precursor loading was proposed for supercritical fluid deposition of Cu during the fabrication of sub-millimeter-scale, metal-coated terahertz (THz) wave devices. Conformal film formation was experimentally demonstrated, validating our method. Our method enables a much higher precursor concentration (at least 20 mol m−3) than the conventional method (below 2 mol m−3), facilitating conformal film formation on sub-millimeter structures. Kinetic analysis revealed that our proposed method was applicable for fabricating rectangular metal-coated THz waveguides; furthermore, it was promising for monolithically integrated THz wave devices.

Abstract
The DART spacecraft will impact Dimorphos (the secondary body of the Didymos binary asteroid) to test the kinetic impactor deflection method against possibly hazardous near-Earth asteroids. The DART impact ejecta plume, and possibly the impact crater, will be imaged by the LICIACube spacecraft, hosted as a piggyback and released by DART just before the impact, and then, several years later, by the Hera probe. To exploit the wealth of data obtained and understand the physics of the whole impact experiment, it is of paramount importance to properly model the dynamics of the binary system pre- and postimpact and the dynamics of the particles ejected from the impact crater. A model was developed to simulate the evolution of the ejecta particles created during the impact in order to first interpret the LICIACube images and then test the survival of particles on long intervals of time that might be detected by the Hera mission either as individual bodies or as parts of rings. The dynamical evolution of the particles is simulated over different timescales to highlight the most important perturbations and their relative importance. The ejecta dynamics turns out to be highly chaotic due to repeated close encounters with the two asteroids. However, we find that some ejecta survive in the binary orbital environment for timescales comparable to the Hera arrival time. The effects of the particles reimpacting against either one of the components is also analyzed to estimate the amount of momentum transfer to the target bodies.
A Collision Mechanism for the Removal of Earth's Trojan Asteroids

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Due to their strong resonances with their host planet, Trojan asteroids can remain in stable orbits for billions of years. As a result, they are powerful probes for constraining the dynamical and chemical history of the solar system. Although we have detected thousands of Jupiter Trojans and dozens of Neptune Trojans, there are currently no known long-term stable Earth Trojans (ETs). Dynamical simulations show that the parameter space for stable ETs is substantial, so their apparent absence poses a mystery. This work uses a large ensemble of N-body simulations to explore how the Trojan population dynamically responds if Earth suffers large collisions, such as those thought to have occurred to form the Moon and/or to have given Earth its late veneer. We show that such collisions can be highly disruptive to the primordial Trojan population, and could have eliminated it altogether. More specifically, if Earth acquired the final 1% of its mass through

collisions, then only ∼1% of the previously bound Trojan population would remain.
Quantitative Evaluation of Binocular Visual Perception in Patients With Strabismus: An Observational Study
Authors: Li Qian , Fu Te , Ma Xiansheng , Ren Cong , Guo Bin , Li Zhongen 
Published: May 2022

Purpose:
To quantitatively evaluate and compare binocular visual perception between normal individuals and patients with different types of strabismus using a binocular phase combination paradigm.

Methods:
A total of 117 participants were included in the study and were divided into the normal control group, exophoria group, comitant exotropia group, comitant esotropia group, and special strabismus group according to the type of strabismus. The effective contrast ratio (ECR) was measured to quantitatively evaluate binocular visual perception. Binocular fusion was evaluated using the Worth 4-dots flashlight. Stereoacuity was detected by the Titmus stereo test.

Results:
The mean ECRs in the normal control group, exophoria group, comitant exotropia group, comitant esotropia group, and special strabismus group were 0.896 ± 0.214, 0.824 ± 0.234, 0.520 ± 0.279, 0.261 ± 0.139, and 0.461 ± 0.243, respectively. Within-group differences in the ECR were statistically significant. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference between the normal control group and exophoria group, and the concomitant exotropia group and special strabismus group and the other groups were statistically significant in pairwise comparison. The binocular visual perception was basically balanced in the exotropia group and most imbalanced in the comitant esotropia group, followed by the comitant exotropia group and the special strabismus group. The results also indicated that the decreased ECR was related to poor stereopsis and ECR had a significant positive correlation with binocular fusion function.

Conclusions:
Different types of strabismus have different degrees of visual perception imbalance. The binocular phase combination paradigm applied in this study can quickly and accurately quantify the degree of binocular visual perception imbalance in patients with strabismus by measuring ECR.
