Narrative Matters: Cultural humility in mental healthcare
Young people from ethnic minority backgrounds in the United Kingdom are less likely to seek psychological support than their white peers. When they do engage with services, a disproportionate number leave, often prematurely. Intercultural frameworks have been developed to help clinicians engage sensitively with diverse populations and improve outcomes.

The Blue Tip of the Stellar Locus: Measuring Reddening with the SDSS
We present measurements of reddening due to dust using the colors of stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We measure the color of main sequence turn-off stars by finding the "blue tip" of the stellar locus: the prominent blue edge in the ...

ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.

The Effect of a Nonuniversal Extinction Curve on the Wesenheit Function and Cepheid Distances
The Wesenheit function is widely used to reduce the effects of interstellar reddening in distance measurements. Its construction, however, relies on the assumption of a universal extinction curve and on fixed values of the total-to-selective extinction ...

The standard theory of extinction and the spectrum of stars with very little reddening [PDF]
This paper examines the relationship between spectra of stars of same spectral type with extremely low reddenings. According to the standard theory, the relationship between the spectrum of stars with same spectral type and small, but different ...

Heavy Metal Contamination in Chocolates and Candies: Sources, Health Risks, and Analytical Insights
The presence of heavy metals in chocolates and candies poses growing public health concerns, particularly for children who are frequent consumers. This review consolidates evidence on the occurrence, sources, toxicological impacts, and analytical monitoring of metals, including Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cr, Ni, and Al, in confectionery products.

FIRST-2MASS Red Quasars: Transitional Objects Emerging from the Dust [PDF]
We present a sample of 120 dust-reddened quasars identified by matching radio sources detected at 1.4 GHz in the FIRST survey with the near-infrared 2MASS catalog and color-selecting red sources.

An Empirical Extinction Curve Revealed by Gaia XP Spectra and LAMOST
We present a direct measurement of extinction curves using corrected Gaia XP spectra of the common sources in Gaia DR3 and LAMOST DR7. Our analysis of approximately 370,000 high-quality samples yielded a high-precision average extinction curve for the ...

On Dust Extinction of Gamma-ray Burst Host Galaxies [PDF]
Although it is well recognized that gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are obscured and reddened by dust in their host galaxies, the wavelength-dependence and quantity of dust extinction are still poorly known.
