Abstract Background Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is traditionally understood as a that occurs more commonly in women than men, and younger age groups older groups. The objective of this study was to determine if these patterns are also observed relation International Classification Diseases (ICD-11) PTSD complex (CPTSD). Methods Secondary data analysis performed using collected from three nationally representative samples the Republic Ireland ( N = 1,020), United States 1,839),...
Loneliness has a pernicious effect on mental health in later life and is likely to have bidirectional relationship with psychopathology. However, longitudinal research examining loneliness posttraumatic stress symptoms among older adults scarce. This study aimed examine the between different types of (social emotional) symptoms. Using two waves an adult sample (n = 1,276) from Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA), this was examined using multivariate wave-latent change score (2W-LCS)...

Data collected from participant...
Irradiation with a very high intensity laser pulse (355 nm) induces blue color in powders and films. The color, which is assigned to the formation of particle, persists air for several months. With an increase concentration given photocatalytic activity decreased because decrease thickness space‐charge layer as deep traps are populated.
A powerful facility for meteorological analysis called the Man Computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS) was designed and implemented in early 1970's at Space Science Engineering Center of University Wisconsin-Madison. Hardware software experience gained via extensive use that its derivatives have led to a newer implementation McIDAS on larger computer with significant enhancements supporting software. allows remote local access wide range data from satellites conventional...
Springtime concentrations of hydrocarbons and chlorocarbons in the arctic atmosphere (70°N, Barrow) are reported. Concentrations following gases were determined: acetylene (C 2 H ), ethene 4 ethane 6 propane 3 8 benzene toluene 7 perchloroethylene Cl trichloroethylene HCl ). Vertical distributions these also determined on flights during May 1982. The results show that C , may be gaseous tracers haze. Their vertical profiles suggest polluted air transported to 1‐2 km above ground, perhaps...
Little research has been conducted on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) comorbidity among older adults regarding the description of PTSD in 11th version International Classification Diseases (ICD-11). This study sought to provide evidence a dimensional model psychopathology using 'Hierarchical Taxonomy Psychopathology' (HiTOP) as theoretical framework explain patterns ICD-11 comorbidity. Distinct nationally representative sample (n = 530) aged 60 years and from United States were examined...
Abstract Introduction Little is known about the lifetime prevalence of different indicators suicidality in Irish general population; whether has increased during COVID‐19 pandemic; and what factors associated with belonging to points on a continuum risk. Methods A nationally representative sample adults ( N = 1,032) completed self‐report measures May 2020 follow‐up August n 715). Results Lifetime rates were 29.5% for suicidal ideation, 12.9% non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI), 11.2% attempted...
This study examined the relationship between coping styles and ICD-11 PTSD Complex in a large sample of Ukrainian Internally Displaced Persons. Data were collected 2016 using self-report measures from all oblasts not occupied by Russian forces. In total, 13.1% people met diagnostic requirements for PTSD, 7.8% PTSD. Higher levels avoidant evident those meeting compared to either. Mental health interventions targeting might be particularly useful reducing burden traumatic stress among...
ICD-11 Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is a disorder of six symptom clusters including reexperiencing, avoidance, sense threat, affective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and disturbed relationships. Unlike earlier descriptions complex PTSD, CPTSD does not list dissociation as unique cluster. We tested whether the symptoms can exist independently in nationally representative sample adults (N = 1,020) who completed self-report measures. Latent class analysis was used to...
On 12 October 1998, it was the 25th anniversary of Man computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS). that date in 1973, McIDAS first used operationally by scientists as a tool for data analysis. Over last 25 years, has undergone numerous architectural changes an effort to keep pace with changing technology. In its early significant technological breakthroughs were required achieve functionality needed atmospheric scientists. Today is challenged new Internet-based approaches access and...
Abstract Objectives Research examining the relationship between loneliness and Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is scarce, particularly among older adults. CPTSD includes core symptoms of PTSD along with additional reflecting “disturbances in self‐organisation” (DSO). This study examined cross‐sectional relationships (emotional social loneliness) (i.e., DSO symptoms) Methods Structural equation modelling was used to examine these a nationally representative sample US adults aged...
Longitudinal data indicates that the mental health of general population may not have been as badly affected by COVID-19 pandemic some had feared. Most studies examining change in during assumed homogeneity which conceal evidence worsening for some. In this study, we applied a heterogeneous perspective to determine if there were distinct groups characterised different patterns internalizing symptoms pandemic.Self-report collected from nationally representative sample Irish adults (N = 1041)...
The most frequently used measure of the 11th edition International Classification Diseases (ICD-11) complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) is Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ). While there strong support for psychometric properties ITQ, few studies have assessed its reliability and validity in nationally representative samples. Additionally, several correlates ICD-11 CPTSD been identified; however, multiple simultaneously.
