Article Abstract

Photoinduced orientational distributions are implemented with one- and two-photon absorption interference in polymer films containing chromophores that exhibit luminescent and nonlinear properties. The odd- and even-order parameters of the final distribution are probed by simultaneous measurement of second-harmonic generation (SHG) and two-photon fluorescence (TPF). We show the possibility of engineering local SHG and TPF anisotropies by controlling the polarization states and intensities of the writing optical fields. Complex multipolar orders are modeled with an irreducible spherical tensor-based formalism jointly applied to the molecular polarizabilities and field tensors.

Background: To evaluate the ganglion cell complex thickness in patients taking oral hydroxychloroquine.

Methods: In this hospital-based, cross-sectional, non-interventional, comparative study, 87 eyes of 87 patients taking hydroxychloroquine were recruited. All the patients underwent complete ophthalmological evaluation along with dilated fundus examination.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), one of the most common sleep disorders globally, is closely linked to brain function. Resting-state electroencephalography (EEG), due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and high temporal resolution, serves as a valuable tool for exploring the human brain function. This study utilized a large cohort with 968 participants who joined in 15-minute daytime resting-state EEG acquisition and overnight polysomnography (PSG) monitoring.

Burnout and perceived work ability (PWA) are critical factors influencing teachers' professional well-being and effectiveness. The potential bidirectional relationship between these constructs remains underexplored, particularly in primary and lower secondary school teachers. This study examines the reciprocal relationship between burnout and PWA among teachers over time, using the job demands-resources (JD-R) model and the conservation of resources (COR) theory.

Background: Family climate substantially influences children’s socio-emotional development. We examined mothers’ mental representations of their children and their relationships in three groups of mothers with young children (0–6 years): mothers (1) with a borderline personality disorder (BPD) (2), with a depressive or anxiety disorder but no BPD (AD/D), or (3) without a current mental disorder (CON). We expected both clinical groups to show more negative mental representations – more expressed emotion reflecting a critical attitude toward the child in general, more hostile attributions to child misbehavior in particular, and a less balanced view of the child (i.
