Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristics of Adolescents who Attempted Suicide and Differences in Clinical Characteristics Related to Tobacco, Alcohol, and Substance Use by Buket Canlan Özaydın, Mustafa Selahattin Yeşil, Börte Gürbüz Özgür, Hatice Aksu

“…This highlights the need for preventive interventions and psychoeducation to enhance problem-solving skills in response to stressors, given the impulsive nature of most suicide attempts. In addition, since the clinical characteristics of adolescents who admit to the emer- gency department with a suicide attempt are different from those with tobacco, alcohol, and substance use, treatments for the use of tobacco, alcohol, and substance should be planned during treatment and follow-up.…”

Size-segregated Characteristics and Formation Mechanisms of Water-soluble Inorganic Ions during Different Seasons in Heshan of Guangdong, China by Bo Huang, Ting Gan, Chenglei Pei, Mei Li, Peng Cheng, Duohong Chen, Ridong Cai, Yujun Wang, Lei Li, Zhengxu Huang, Wei Gao, Zhong Fu, Zhen Zhou

“…The formation of NO3− was chiefly related toµ homogeneous gas-phase reactions during winter and nocturnal heterogeneous reactions involving N2O5 during summer, whereas the formation of SO42− was driven by gas-phase oxidation in the 0.056–0.32 µm size range and aqueous oxidation in the 0.56–3.2 µm range. Additionally, the SOR and the NO2 concentration displayed a positive correlation in the 0.056–1.8 µm particle size fraction, indicating that the potential formation of SO42− via aqueous reactions was accelerated by NO2.…”

Arbitrary Fixed-Time Sliding Mode Control for Buck Converter With Matched and Mismatched Disturbances Based on Fixed-Time Observer by Orhan Kaplan, Ferhat Bodur, Mustafa Bahadir Ozdemir

“…The FxDO-FxSMC method 1) tackles an arbitrary fixed time sliding surface for the buck converter with mismatched disturbance, a feature not achievable with the current finite/fixed time sliding mode control; 2) allows the user to adjust the convergence time of the proposed method, regardless of the initial conditions; and 3) concurrently mitigates chattering issues. Additionally, Lyapunov stability is carried out. To highlight the advantages of the proposed combined structure, it is compared with the classical SMC, integral SMC (ISMC), disturbance observer-based SMC (DO-SMC), and finite-time disturbance observer-based non-singular terminal SMC (FnDO-NTSMC). …”
