ObjectiveThis study explored the importance of various aspects of Rapid Access Addiction Medicine (RAAM) based care for alcohol use health from the perspectives of people across Canada, including those who had and had not accessed RAAM services.DesignParticipants (n = 160) responded to items in rounds of an eDelphi survey, with each progressive round aiming to reach a consensus on the most important components of care at a RAAM clinic. Thirty-eight evidence-informed components were organized into five domains of healthcare accessibility. Ranking was conducted on a 5-point scale, with options ranging from "not at all important" to "critical". Consensus was defined a priori as 75% or greater ranking agreement. The survey was designed to close after 10 components reached consensus or following four rounds.ResultsEighty-nine participants (mean AUDIT = 13.9, SD = 5.4; mean age = 53.1, SD = 16.1; women = 43%) completed three rounds of the eDelphi. Seven per cent of participants reported having visited a RAAM clinic. The top ten components of care included compassionate care, RAAM team collaboration and effective communication, prompt care, low costs, easy contact, accessible clinic information, strength-focused care, shared decision making and availability of services for individuals across the substance use health spectrum.ConclusionsFindings highlight client-prioritized features of alcohol use health services and offer actionable insights that can help enhance care across care settings. Future research should focus on under-represented populations to ensure that their specific needs are addressed and incorporated into service planning and policy development.Plain Language Summary TitleWhat Matters Most About Alcohol Use Health Services?

Gamasellodes garybauchani sp. nov. Rueda-Ramírez & Santos is described based on specimens collected at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) (Maryland, USA). Twenty-one specimens were used for the description, of which five were subjected to low temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM), followed by DNA extraction for genetic analysis and subsequent slide mounting. The remaining 16 specimens were subjected to only DNA extraction for genetic analysis and subsequent slide mounting. Morphological characters of the new species observed both in the images obtained in LTSEM and in the observation of the mounted specimens are detailed. Molecular information available on the Barcode of Life Datasysetm (BOLD) is presented. An update to the recent key to the Gamasellodes species is provided.

Genuine theories are defined to be those governed by a Master Equation. All other theories are defined to be Effective Theories. It is straightforward to integrate heavy particles out of a Genuine Theory to get an Effective Theory, but putting together a Genuine Theory takes years. The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is an Effective Theory, which arises because of the hypothesis of an invisible sector where spontaneous breaking of Supersymmetry (SUSY) occurs. Suppressed SUSY allows us to construct a Genuine Theory for SUSY, without the need for spontaneous breaking of SUSY.

The maximum content of cation vacancies in perovskites determines the maximum adjustment to the physical properties. By using the classical criterion of the tolerance factor, we put forward a new method to obtain the maximum content of cation vacancies in perovskites. The effective ionic radius was calculated using the weighted average method, and the limit of tolerance factors was used to determine the maximum value of the cation vacancies. The calculated results of the La1-xMnO3 and La0.75Sr0.25Mn1-yO3 materials coincide with experimental results. For application, [(A1)1-x(A2)x]1-z1(B1B2)X3 or [(A1)1-x(A2)x](B1B2)1-z2X3 (X = O, F, Cl, Br, I) inorganic and hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite materials with vacancies at the A or B sites were predicted successfully, which provides a new method to improve the physical properties of perovskite materials.

Les rencontres naturelles, spontanées entre l’art et la science se trouvent essentiellement dans des mécanismes communs que partagent la création artistique et scientifique. Décrire et analyser ces rencontres permet de mieux saisir la nature tant de l’art que de la science et d’arriver à cerner ce qui au delà de ces points communs constitue la spécificité de l’art. Allons d’emblée à un thème qui revient de façon incessante dans les propos et les écrits des artistes, leur combat avec la matièr...
