Time is a Precious Commodity: Reframing Farmer Stress and Mental Health Through the Lens of Time Poverty
Abstract
Time is a Precious Commodity: Reframing Farmer Stress and Mental Health Through the Lens of Time PovertyAbstract In this conceptual paper we apply the construct of time poverty to a novel population, farmers struggling with stress and mental health challenges. Farmers have rates of suicide that can be over three times that of the general population, with depression and anxiety at double general population rates. These are linked to the multiple stressors farmers [...] |

Optimization of Heat Transfer in Parabolic Trough Collectors Using Advanced Turbulator Designs and Nanofluidsby
Mohsen Pourfallah
and
Ethan Languri
Abstract Parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) are essential for solar thermal energy systems, and their thermal efficiency can be significantly enhanced using turbulators and nanofluids. This numerical study introduces three novel fin-spiral turbulator configurations (4, 7, and 10 blades) to enhance heat transfer within the absorber tube. Additionally, three nanof [...] |
On the Relation between Overwater Friction Velocity and the Wind Speed During Tropical Cyclonesby
Shih-Ang Hsu
Abstract In the realm of marine meteorology, physical oceanography, and coastal and ocean engineering, the wind-stress across the air-sea interface plays a dominant role. However, under tropical cyclone conditions, there is no consensus for the formulation of the drag coefficient, Cd, in the literature. Based on the wind-gust method and the measurements from [...] |

and
Sandra Mihailova
Abstract This review aims to explore research on the development of emotions in organisms at the simple reflexes substage of the sensorimotor stage of cognitive development. We review the literature on alterations in spontaneous blinking in children under 6 months of age. Then, we extract the data from the selected studies that allow us to examine whether simple [...] |
Leukocytosis is Common Following Pediatric Liver Transplant for Biliary Atresia but Should be Interpreted with CautionAbstract Infection is a leading cause of short-term morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients after liver transplant (LT). Diagnosing infection in this population can be challenging, requiring consideration of laboratory results and clinical context. The prevalence and significance of post-operative leukocytosis has not yet been explored in children after [...] |
