Stress reactivity during short trauma narratives in adolescents with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD by Oswald D. Kothgassner, Sarah Macura, Andreas Goreis, Diana Klinger, Bettina Pfeffer, Sofia M. Oehlke, Karin Prillinger, Johanna X. Kafka, Heidi Elisabeth Zesch, Anna Felnhofer, Paul L. Plener

“…However, understanding the differences in physiological stress reactivity and negative cognitive-emotional patterns between adolescents with PTSD and C-PTSD remains a notable research gap.Objective: This study examined group differences in autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity during the sharing of a short trauma narrative, including resting and recovery phases, and compared subjective experiences of stress, shame, and guilt among adolescents with PTSD, C-PTSD, and trauma-exposed controls.Methods: In a repeated-measures design, 52 adolescents (14–18 years) with PTSD (n = 17), C-PTSD (n = 18), and a control group (n = 17) were assessed for heart rate, heart rate variability, and subjective experiences of stress, shame, and guilt during a standardized trauma interview, as well as during baseline and recovery phases.Results: Linear mixed-effects models revealed a significant interaction between group and time point (F = 4.134, p < .001). …”

Row configuration affects plant growth and grain yield of drip-irrigated maize-soybean strip intercropping system by regulating photosynthetic capacity and grain filling process by Hongtai Kou, Zhenqi Liao, Yiyao Liu, Zhenlin Lai, Zhijun Li, Junliang Fan

“…The results showed that intercropping reduced net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry of maize and soybean, resulting in reduced dry matter, grain filling rate, 100-grain weight and ultimately reduced grain yield (by 13.08 % for maize and 48.73 % for soybean compared to monocropping). …”

Modelling Pollutant Dispersion in Urban Canyons to Enhance Air Quality and Urban Planning by Francisco Ruda Sarria, MCarmen Guerrero Delgado, Rafael Monge Palma, Teresa Palomo Amores, José Sánchez Ramos, Servando Álvarez Domínguez

“…While previous research has explored airflow characteristics in these canyons, it often lacks detailed data on pollutant dispersion and the effects of wind speed on airflow patterns and vortex formation. This study uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to deliver quantitative measurements of pollutant dispersion rates and qualitative insights into airflow patterns across various street canyon morphologies. …”
