Little is known about COVID-19 vaccination intentions among refugee communities in the United States. The objective of this study was to measure a sample refugees States and reasons for their vaccine acceptance or hesitancy.From December 2020 through January 2021, we emailed text messaged anonymous online surveys 12 bilingual leaders Afghan, Bhutanese, Somali, South Sudanese, Burmese We asked community complete survey share link with members who met inclusion criteria (arrived as refugees,...
Objectives Immigrants are believed to be at high risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the virus that causes disease 2019 (COVID-19). A leading suspected factor is their role in essential workforce. We aimed describe COVID-19–related factors among Bhutanese and Burmese refugees United States. Methods administered an anonymous online survey May 2020 community leaders refugees. Using a snowball sampling strategy, we invited complete share link others who met...
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for Bhutanese refugee community leaders in U.S. We hypothesized that would improve knowledge mental health problems and treatment process decrease negative attitudes towards people with illness. One hundred twenty participated MHFA training, whom 58 had sufficient English proficiency complete pre- post-tests. questionnaires assessed each participant's ability recognize signs depression, about...
Abstract All dielectrics exhibit electrostriction, i.e., display a quadratic strain response to an electric field compared the linear dependence of piezoelectrics. As such, there is significant interest in discovering new electrostrictors with enhanced electrostrictive coefficients, especially as can effective piezoelectricity when bias applied. We present results study combining data mining and first-principles computations that indicate exists group iodides, bromides, chlorides have...
BaTiO$_3$ (BTO) is a prototypical perovskite ferroelectric, whose dielectric permittivity and loss spectra -- which are strongly temperature frequency dependent include contributions from inhomogeneous polarization patterns, with polar domain walls (DWs) being the most common types. In order to elucidate how DWs influence response, we utilized continuum approach based on Landau-Ginzburg theory model field-dependent properties of polydomain tetragonal phase BTO near room above. A system...
The solid solution Ba1−xSrxTiO3 (BSTO) displays dielectric response that is highly tunable, while also exhibiting low losses in a broad frequency regime, including the microwave band. Therefore, there need for better understanding of influence BSTO microstructure on its relaxor properties and performance variety technological applications. Since local polarization strongly dependent composition, so to an applied AC field. In this work, we have adopted phase field method study...
