Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) are two different outcomes that may occur after experiencing traumatic events. Resilience and rumination are two important factors that determine the development of these outcomes after trauma. We investigated the association between these two factors, PTSD and PTG, among Chinese survivors in an earthquake. With a convenience sample of 318 survivors from earthquake, we measured trauma exposure, PTSD, PTG, resilience, and rumination (Impact of Event Scale-Revised, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, 10 item Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, Ruminative Response Scale). Then we used bivariate correlation and structural equation modeling to examine the structure of relations among these factors. Results showed that resilience and reflective rumination have a positive effect on PTG (β = 0.32, p < 0.001; β = 0.17, p = 0.049). Earthquake exposure, brooding rumination and depressed-related rumination are related with higher level of PTSD (β = 0.10, p = 0.021; β = 0.33, p < 0.001; β = 0.36, p < 0.001). The findings suggest distinct determinants of the negative and positive outcomes, and this may provide better understanding about the risk and protective factors for traumatic reactions.
Indium
selenide (InSe) has a high electron mobility and tunable
direct band gap, enabling its potential applications to electronic
and optoelectronic devices. Here, we report the fabrication of InSe
photodetectors with high on/off ratios and ultrahigh photoresponsivity,
using ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE))
copolymer films as the top-gate dielectric. Benefiting from the successful
suppression of the dark current down to ∼10–14A in the InSe channel by tuning the three different polarization
states in ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE) and improved interface properties
using h-BN as a substrate, the ferroelectric-gated InSe photodetectors
show a high on/off ratio of over 108, a high photoresponsivity
up to 14 250 AW–1, a high detectivity up
to 1.63 × 1013 Jones, and a fast response time of
600 μs even at zero-gate voltage. The present results highlight
the role of ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE) in tuning the carrier transport
of InSe and may provide an avenue for the development of InSe-based
photodetectors.
The P2-type layered
oxide Na2/3[Ni1/3Mn2/3]O2 cathode material is considered a promising
material for sodium-ion batteries because of its high capacity and
operating voltage together with a simple synthesis process. However,
unfavorable electrochemical performance degradation during cycling
is an obstacle to its practical application. Because ZnO has excellent
electrical conductivity as a semiconductor material, it was selected
for the coating modification study in this experiment. Transmission
electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy showed a uniform
ZnO-coating layer on the surface of the particles with a thickness
of 5 nm. When comparing the scanning electron microscope and X-ray
diffraction (XRD) results of the electrodes before and after the cycle,
we found that ZnO can inhibit the exfoliation phenomenon, and the
morphology as well as the structure stability of the electrode were
excellently maintained. In addition, according to the XRD refinement,
part of Zn2+ entered the transition-metal oxides (TMO2) layer, which improves the stability of the crystal structure.
On the basis of the synergistic effect between the ZnO coating and
Zn2+ doping, the battery exhibited excellent cycle and
rate performance. After 200 cycles at 0.5C (1C = 273 mA g–1), the battery still maintained a capacity of 70 mA h g–1 and a capacity retention rate of 75%. Therefore, we believe that
ZnO coating can effectively improve the electrochemical performances
of batteries.
