    Abstract: ... all retained (P < .001) in predicting physical inactivity prevalence as a continuous variable.: Conclusion ...

    Abstract Background: Despite broad recognition of the physical inactivity pandemic, little to no progress has been made in the past decade in mitigating the problem. The current analysis builds upon previous research into the drivers of physical inactivity to assess the potential interactions with firearm violence in the United States.
    Methods: We merged county-level data on firearm fatality rates, physical inactivity prevalence, the Social Vulnerability Index, and the American nations regional cultures schematic.
    Results: Counties with a physical inactivity prevalence currently above the federal government's 2030 goal (ie, ≥21.8%) had a significantly higher firearm fatality rate per 100,000 population. This finding was consistent for both the overall rate and race-based subgroups. The overall White, Hispanic, and Black firearm fatality rates were also significantly higher in the American nations group comprising Greater Appalachia, Deep South, El Norte, New France, and First Nation. Stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that the Social Vulnerability Index, American nations dichotomous grouping, and firearm fatality rate were all retained (P < .001) in predicting physical inactivity prevalence as a continuous variable.
    Conclusion: In conclusion, the United States faces myriad health and societal challenges. Unhealthy lifestyles and gun violence are two of the leaders. The current analysis in conjunction with previous findings demonstrates that solving these challenges by interacting, create complexity to finding solutions that has not been thoroughly considered.

    Abstract Polycyclic, highly fused and, perforce, highly conjugated aromatic organic compounds (PACs) have been of interest to chemists since the discovery of naphthalene in 1821. In modern decades these have attracted ever-growing attention because of their architectures, properties, and wide-ranging practical applications (cf. The Bigger Picture). Given the unabated interest in such molecules, the development of new methods and strategies for the practical synthesis of PACs having new structural motifs is important. Here we describe one-pot, purely thermal cyclizations of substrates containing sets of independent triynes, each arrayed upon a common core structure. This produces topologically unique products through sequential generation/trapping of a series of benzyne intermediates. More specifically, these all conform to processes that can be considered as radial-hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reactions. The late-stage and de novo creation of multiple arenes in these multi-benzyne processes constitutes a fundamentally new synthetic strategy for constructing novel molecular topologies.

    Abstract Objective: Efforts to understand why some marriages thrive while others falter are (a) not well integrated conceptually and (b) rely heavily on data collected from White middle-class samples. The Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation Model (VSA; Karney and Bradbury, 1995) is used here to integrate prior efforts and is tested using data collected from couples living with low incomes.
    Background: The VSA Model assumes (a) that enduring vulnerabilities, stress, and couple communication account for unique variance in relationship satisfaction, (b) that communication mediates the effects of vulnerabilities and stress on satisfaction, and (c) that the predictors of satisfaction generalize across socioeconomic levels. To date, these assumptions remain untested.
    Materials and methods: With 388 couples from diverse backgrounds (88% Black or Hispanic), we used latent variable structural equation models to examine enduring vulnerabilities, chronic stress, and observed communication as predictors of 4-wave, 27-month satisfaction trajectories, first as main effects and then interacting with a validated 10-item index of sociodemographic risk.
    Results: (a) The three variable sets independently predict satisfaction trajectories; (b) couple communication does not mediate the effects of enduring vulnerabilities or stress on satisfaction; and (c) in 19% of tests, effects were stronger among couples with higher sociodemographic risk.
    Conclusion: Effects of established predictor domains on satisfaction replicate in a diverse sample of newlywed couples, and most findings generalize across levels of sociodemographic risk. The failure of couple communication to mediate effects of enduring personal vulnerabilities and stress raises new questions about how these two domains undermine committed partnerships.

    Abstract Objectives: Although a known association exists between stress and alcohol consumption among health care workers (HCWs), it is not known how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected this association. We assessed pandemic work-related stress and alcohol consumption of HCWs.
    Methods: We emailed a cross-sectional, anonymous survey in June 2020 to approximately 550 HCWs at an academic hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana. HCWs from all departments were eligible to complete the survey. Questions measured work-related stress and emotional reactions to the pandemic (using the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome [MERS-CoV] Staff Questionnaire), depressive symptoms (using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 [PHQ-9]), coping habits (using the Brief COPE scale), and pre-COVID-19 (March 2020) and current (June 2020) alcohol consumption. We measured alcohol consumption using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), with scores >3 considered positive. We asked 4 open-ended questions for in-depth analysis.
    Results: One-hundred two HCWs participated in the survey. The average AUDIT-C scores for current and pre-COVID-19 alcohol consumption were 3.1 and 2.8, respectively. The level of current alcohol consumption was associated with avoidant coping (r = 0.46,
    Conclusions: Ongoing prevention-based interventions that emphasize stress management rather than mental or behavioral health conditions are needed.

    Abstract We report thermochromism in crystals of diphenyl diselenide (dpdSe) and diphenyl ditelluride (dpdTe), which is at variance with the commonly known mechanisms of thermochromism in molecular crystals. Variable temperature neutron diffraction studies indicated no conformational change, tautomerization or phase transition between 100 K and 295 K. High-pressure crystallography studies indicated no associated piezochromism in dpdSe and dpdTe crystals. The evolution of the crystal structures and their electronic band structure with pressure and temperature reveal the contributions of intramolecular and intermolecular factors towards the origin of thermochromism-especially the intermolecular Se⋅⋅⋅Se and Te⋅⋅⋅Te chalcogen bonds and torsional modes of vibrations around the dynamic Se-Se and Te-Te bonds. Further, a co-crystal of dpdSe with iodine (dpdSe-I

    Abstract The reliability and validity of standard and qualitative scores for the Ruff Figural Fluency Test (RFFT; Ruff, 1988) was examined in 102 healthy undergraduates. Participants (M age = 21.79; SD = 3.7; age = 80% Caucasian) were administered the RFFT and measures assessing executive functions (EF) and other cognitive domains. Inter-scorer reliability was excellent (0.9 range) for most RFFT indices. Test-retest coefficients (M interval = 7 weeks) ranged from 0.64 for the error ratio score to 0.87 for unique designs. RFFT indices correlated with Block Design performance and nonverbal measures of working memory, but were unrelated to measures of verbal fluency, verbal learning, or working memory for verbal material. RFFT novel design output correlated with most measures of EF supporting the convergent validity of this measure. In contrast, correlations between measures of EF and qualitative scores were absent or weak. RFFT score interpretation is discussed in light of relevant models of EF and directions for future research are presented.

    Abstract We investigated whether unvaccinated pregnant persons cluster geographically and determined factors associated with being unvaccinated using spatial and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Pregnant persons with deliveries from December 15, 2020, through September 30, 2022, at Kaiser Permanente Northern California were included. Of the 85,852 pregnant persons in the study, 46.6% were unvaccinated before and during pregnancy. Spatial analysis identified 5 clusters with high prevalence of unvaccinated pregnant persons. Within these clusters, the proportion of unvaccinated varied from 53% to 62% versus 39% outside the clusters. In covariate-adjusted analyses, residence in a cluster increased the odds of being unvaccinated by 1.64 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.59,1.69). The odds of being unvaccinated increased among those aged 16-24 years (odds ratio [OR] = 2.69, CI: 2.55, 2.83), aged 25-34 years (OR = 1.59, CI: 1.54, 1.64) compared with age ≥ 35 years, black race (OR = 1.45, CI:1.37, 1.54), and subsidized insurance (OR = 1.32, CI: 1.26, 1.38). The odds of being unvaccinated also increased for pregnant persons living in neighborhoods where the proportion of adults with high school education or less was greater than 20%. Geographic clustering of unvaccinated pregnant persons suggests a need for population-specific-interventions to increase vaccine coverage.
