“You're Building Trust, You're Building Rapport”: Contributions from Implementers of Health-Focused Community Engagement by Autumn Tamlyn, Sarah Barnes, Yewon Na, Hope White, Matthew Spence, Benjamin Linas, Mari-Lynn Drainoni

“…Qualitative analysis identified three themes regarding the conduct of health-focused CE: 1) mirroring racial/ethnic diversity and language with community members is critical to building trustworthy relationships; 2) while seemingly inconsequential, structural and logistical components are key for building connections that lead to positive health-behavior changes; 3) implementers are driven by and view each meaningful interaction as a piece of the puzzle to create structural change. Evaluating the conduct of health-focused CE through implementor experiences, beliefs, values, and assessments increases the understanding of intervention processes and educates the field on the needs of underserved individuals without disrupting community relationships. …”

Tracking hydrothermal infiltration within light oil reservoirs using organic geochemical proxies in the Shunbei area of Tarim Basin in China by Jian Gao, Shaojie Li, Huan Li, Zicheng Cao, Huili Li, Feng Geng, Jun Han, Cheng Huang

“…Previous studies revealed that the Early Permian Tarim Large Igneous Province (LIP) has affected the Shunbei area, whereas it is still debated whether the LIP-related hydrothermal infiltration affected hydrocarbons within the Ordovician reservoirs. To resolve this puzzle, this study was designed to unravel the potential thermal impact of hydrothermal infiltration on hydrocarbons according to molecular and stable carbon isotopic compositions of oils and associated natural gases, reflectance analysis of solid bitumen, and fluid inclusion thermometry. …”

Bayesian reinforcement learning models reveal how great-tailed grackles improve their behavioral flexibility in serial reversal learning experiments by Lukas, Dieter, McCune, Kelsey, Blaisdell, Aaron, Johnson-Ulrich, Zoe, MacPherson, Maggie, Seitz, Benjamin, Sevchik, August, Logan, Corina

“…The changes in behavioral flexibility that grackles showed in their experience of the serial reversals also influenced their behavior in a subsequent experiment, where individuals with more extreme rates or sensitivities solved more options on a multi-option puzzle box. Our findings offer new insights into how individuals react to uncertainty and changes in their environment, in particular, showing how they can modulate their behavioral flexibility in response to their past experiences.…”
