How does playfulness (re)frame the world? Evidence for selective cognitive and behavioral redirecting in times of adversity by Xiangyou Shen, Zoe Crawley

“…Sequential analyses including MANOVA, ANOVA, and ANCOVA were performed to examine overall, univariate, and adjusted group differences, respectively, validated by sensitivity analysis across three group categorization methods.ResultsThree sets of contrasting findings evidenced selective playful (re)framing effects, wherein more playful individuals (1) shared similar perceptions of current risk and protective factors while adopting a more optimistic future outlook, (2) perceived similar levels of vulnerability and isolation but engaged in significantly higher levels of resilient coping and adaptive leisure, and (3) participated in similar categories and frequencies of leisure activities but with higher experiential quality, marked by greater immersion, activeness, and positive affect.DiscussionPlayfulness functions as a “color spotlight” rather than “rose-tinted glasses,” with selective influence through “lemonading”—creatively imagining and pursuing positive possibilities to cultivate adaptive, enjoyable experiences while maintaining a clear-eyed realism about challenges. …”

A Novel Sustainable Semiconductor/Metal-organic Framework Coated Electret Filter for Simultaneous Removal of PM2.5 and VOCs by Yu Zhang, Zan Zhu, Wei-Ning Wang, Sheng-Chieh Chen

“…The PM2.5 removal efficiency also demonstrated that the coating of p-BWO@MIL particles had a negligible influence on the degradation of fiber charge. This research sheds light on the development of semiconductor@MOF coated electret media to simultaneously remove particulate and gaseous pollutants to improve indoor air quality with low energy consumption.…”

Impact of Wildfire Smoke Events on Indoor Air Quality and Evaluation of a Low-cost Filtration Method by Nathaniel W. May, Clara Dixon, Daniel A. Jaffe

“…Indoor and outdoor hourly PM2.5 (µg m−3) measurements from the publicly available PurpleAir sensor (PAS) network were analyzed for 42 sites (26 residential, 6 school, 10 commercial) across the western US during a September 2020 period of heavy wildfire smoke influence. The fraction of ambient PM2.5 that penetrates indoors and remains airborne (Fin), as well as the ratio (I/O) and correlation coefficient (R2) of indoor to outdoor PM2.5 concentrations, were lower in residential compared to commercial and school buildings. …”
