A thin film of PEO18Li(CF3SO2)2N(LiTFSI)-tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4)-Li1.4Al0.4Ge0.2Ti1.4(PO4)3-LiCl·H2O (LAGTP·LiCl) was prepared by addition of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME). The grain boundary resistance of PEO18LiTFSI-LAGTP·LiCl was considerably reduced by the addition of G4, and a large-sized thin film of the composite polymer electrolyte was prepared easily by the addition of 10 wt.% DME. The electrical conductivity of [(PEO18LiTFSI-2G4)-5 wt.% LAGTP·LiCl]-10 wt.% DME was 1.2 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25°C, a [...]

Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) are complex conditions with chronic symptoms and impairments associated with greater risk for physical comorbidity and early mortality. Understanding end-of-life care in older adults with SSDs is crucial for improving geriatric psychiatric care and identifying healthcare disparities. A cohort of 254 older adult decedents with a history of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder was identified using the Rochester Epidemiology Project. A control group of 254 older adult deced [...]

This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Family Inclusion Scale (FIS) for administration to adults and older Mexican adults. To this end, a questionnaire was structured with scales to evaluate family inclusion, loneliness, and perceived stress; the last two scales were previously validated. The sample (n = 347) consisted of young university adults aged 20 to 24 years and their grandparents aged 60 years. The conceptual emphasis of the Family Inclusion Scale generated was the identification of [...]

In bottling companies, spur gears play a vital role in ensuring efficient mechanical power transmission in bottling machines. Therefore, the maintainability of spur gears in these machines is important because it directly affects the overall efficiency, productivity, and cost-effectiveness of bottling operations. The study focused on data collection for different tasks performed on a failed gear from January to December of a particular year based on task time and frequency of occurrence, which are important factors [...]

In 2025, college students are reportedly more anxious and strained than any previous generation of young people, while they are also the first to have grown up entirely immersed in social media. This research explores social media use patterns and their relationship with academic, emotional, health-related and social well-being among college students. A total of 111 college students from an East Coast university self-selected to complete a one-time assessment anonymously through Qualtrics. A mixed-methods, explorat [...]

Electrocatalytic oxidation of organic compound in the absence of noble metals or their oxides as catalysts and using metal-free electrodes is a "green" electrochemical, inexpensive and attractive process for practical use in electrocatalysis, power sources and sensors. The process accompanied by the elimination of protons, is of interest both for obtaining valuable organic compounds at the anode and for the release of hydrogen evolution at the cathode. In this work, the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexanol in the pr [...]

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) in the energy mix, particularly solar photovoltaic and wind power, poses significant challenges to electricity grid reliability due to their inherent stochastic variability. This study develops a stochastic framework to assess the ability of RES to balance electricity demand, with a focus on storage requirements and reliability implications. Using North Euboea, Greece, as a representative case study, normalized hourly time series of electricity demand, so [...]

Advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART) have normalized the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH) but have been linked to a premature presentation of age-related comorbidities, including cancer. Telomere length (TL) is a marker of cellular aging and was investigated in blood leukocytes from 78 PLWH on ART, compared with 163 HIV-uninfected controls. The PLWH group was stratified into three subgroups: HIV-only (n = 57), HIV with AIDS-defining cancer (ADC, n = 9), and HIV with NADC (n = 12). Quantitative p [...]
