These exploratory findings support the safety and feasibility of 4 × 1 HD-tDCS in early onset epileptic encephalopathy and provide the first evidence of HD-tDCS effects on paroxysmal EEG features in electroclinical cases under the age of 36 months. Extending HD-tDCS treatment may enhance electrographic findings and clinical effects.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to panic buying in many countries across the globe, preventing vulnerable groups from accessing important necessities. Some reports inaccurately referred to the panic buying as hoarding. Although hoarding is a separate issue characterised by extreme saving behaviour, the two problems may be influenced by similar factors. Participants from Australia and the United States (final N = 359) completed online self-report measures of panic buying, hoarding, shopping patterns, perceived scarcity, COVID-19 illness anxiety, selfishness, and intolerance of uncertainty. Our findings showed that panic buying was related to hoarding symptoms ( r ’s = .23 - .36), and yet, both were uniquely associated with different psychological factors. Whilst panic buying was most strongly related to greater perceived scarcity ( r ’s = .38 - .60), hoarding was most related to a general intolerance of uncertainty ( r ’s = .24 - .57). Based on our findings, future strategies to prevent panic buying should focus on reducing perceived scarcity cues in the community, as this seems to be the primary driver of panic buying. Another preventative strategy to reduce excessive acquiring and saving may be to implement educational programs to increase people's ability to tolerate distress and uncertainty.

Drei Aluminiumoxidhalogenide ‐ AlOCl, AlOBr und AlOJ ‐ werden dargestellt und eingehend untersucht. In ähnlicher Weise werden die Thiohalogenide ‐ AlSCl, AlSBr und AISJ ‐ bearbeitet. Einwirkung von NH3 führt zu einem Oxidamid bzw. Thioamid, von NH2(CH3) zu einem Methyloxidamid bzw. Methylthioamid.
