(Non)specific interaction patterns in families raising a child with disability or chronic illness: a latent profile analysis by Ariadna Łada-Maśko, Urszula Sajewicz-Radtke, Paweł Jurek, Paweł Jurek, Michał Olech, Bartosz M. Radtke, Małgorzata Lipowska

“…To assess interaction patterns within families, the following measures were used: the Questionnaire of Relationships with Siblings to evaluate relationships between healthy adolescents and their siblings, the Parentification Questionnaire for Youth to measure emotional and instrumental parentification, the KidScreen-27 to assess quality of life, the Parental Attitude Scale-2 to assess parental attitudes, and the Family Rating Scales to evaluate family dynamics, including the structure and quality of family interactions. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was used to analyze data.ResultsWe identified two latent profiles: “Strained Families” profile, which featured lower-quality family interactions with parents displaying greater rejection, inconsistent, and overdemanding attitudes, and the “Resilient Families” profile reflected balanced functioning with greater cohesion and flexibility. …”

Collisional-Radiative modeling of unresolved transition array spectra near 200 Å from W17+-W25+ emissions for diagnostics of ITER edge plasma by R. Nishimura, T. Oishi, I. Murakami, D. Kato, H.A. Sakaue, S. Gupta, H. Ohashi, M. Goto, Y. Kawamoto, T. Kawate, H. Takahashi, K. Tobita

“…However,diagnosing the ion density, temperature, and spatial distribution of tungsten ions in intermediate charge states, such as W8+-W27+, is difficult because of the lack of spectral line data. In this study, we observed a tungsten Unresolved Transition Array (UTA) spectrum, which has a pseudo-continuum structure, around W20+ in the Extreme Ultraviolet wavelength region in the Large Helical Device (LHD). …”
