    Abstract Polymer and chemically modified biopolymer systems present unique challenges to traditional molecular simulation preparation workflows. First, typical polymer and biomolecular input formats, such as Protein Data Bank (PDB) files, lack adequate chemical information needed for the parameterization of new chemistries. Second, polymers are typically too large for accurate partial charge generation methods. In this work, we employ direct chemical perception through the Open Force Field toolkit to create a flexible polymer simulation workflow for organic polymers, encompassing everything from biopolymers to soft materials. We propose and test a new input specification for monomer information that can, along with a 3D conformational geometry, parametrize and simulate most soft-material systems within the same workflow used for smaller ligands. The monomer format encompasses a subset of the SMIRKS substructure query language to uniquely identify chemical information and repeating charges in underspecified systems through matching atomic connectivity. This workflow is combined with several different approaches for automatic partial-charge generation for larger systems. As an initial proof of concept, a variety of diverse polymeric systems were parametrized with the Open Force Field toolkit, including functionalized proteins, DNA, homopolymers, cross-linked systems, and sugars. Additionally, shape properties and radial distribution functions were computed from molecular dynamics simulations of poly(ethylene glycol), polyacrylamide, and poly(

    Abstract Agri-food value chains represent an important element of food systems and economies around the world. For example, intermediary agri-food value chain actors—those operating enterprises that transport and transform food from the farmgate to retailers—account for a substantial share, often between 60 and 75 percent, of value-added produced by the entire agricultural sector of an economy.

    Abstract Suicidal thought and behavior (STB) in preschool and kindergarten-age children is an alarming event. Until recently, these young children's experiences have been under recognized, in part due to an under appreciation for their awareness of the finality of death. Although rare, serious suicide attempts and death by suicide among preschool and kindergarten-age children are well documented. There is limited research on the risk factors that contribute to STB in very young children. We present de-identified case descriptions of very young children seen for psychiatric treatment at a day hospital program who presented with self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation (SI). The patients described have common risk factors, including exposure to trauma, family conflict and family history of suicidal behavior. It is critical that children presenting with STB be assessed and offered services to mitigate these risks.

    Abstract Introduction: Thriving from Work is defined as the state of positive mental, physical, and social functioning in which workers' experiences of their work and working conditions enable them to thrive in their overall lives, contributing to their ability to achieve their full potential at work, at home, and in the community. The purpose of this study was to develop a psychometrically-sound questionnaire measuring the positive contribution that work can have on one's well-being both at, and outside of, their work.
    Methods: We used both a qualitative and quantitative approach of item reduction, domain mapping dimensionality testing, development of "long-" and "short-" versions of the questionnaire, reliability, and construct and criterion validity testing. This was established in two independent online samples of US based workers (n = 1550, n = 500).
    Results: We developed a bi-factor model 30-item long-form and a uni-factorial 8-item short-version. The long-form measures both the latent construct of Thriving from Work and six domains (psychological/emotional; work-life integration; social; experience of work; basic needs; health). Both long- and short- forms were found to have high empirical reliability (0.93  and 0.87 respectively). The short-form captures 94% of variance of the long-form. Construct and criterion validity were supported. Test-retest reliability was high.
    Conclusions: The Thriving from Work Questionnaire appears to be a valid and reliable measure of work-related well-being in United States workers. Further testing is needed to refine and test the instrument in specific industries, unique worker populations, and across geographic regions.
