World Psychiatric Association-Asian Journal of Psychiatry Commission on Psychiatric Education in the 21st century

Dinesh Bhugra, Alexander Smith, Antonio Ventriglio, Marc H. M. Hermans, Roger Ng, Afzal Javed, Egor Chumakov, Anindya Kar, Roxanna Ruiz, Maria Oquendo, Margaret S. Chisolm, Ursula Werneke, Uma Suryadevara, Michael Jibson, Jacqueline Hobbs, Joao Castaldelli-Maia, Muralidharan Nair, Shekhar Seshadri, Alka Subramanyam, Nanasaheb Patil, Prabha Chandra, Michael Liebrenz

Summary: Psychiatric practice in the 21st century faces various challenges, including societal changes, evolving training requirements, and patient expectations. These challenges necessitate a reevaluation of educational programs. While awareness of psychiatric disorders has increased and more women are entering medical school and specializing in psychiatry, trainee psychiatrists also have different expectations for work-life balance and are increasingly conscious of their own mental health. The commodification of healthcare and litigious nature of society add additional pressures on healthcare professionals. Cartesian mind-body dualism and cultural differences often frustrate patients and care-partners. Changes in psychiatric care, such as the shift from asylums to community-based interventions and home treatments, also contribute to the pressures faced by mental healthcare professionals. However, current training for mental healthcare professionals remains largely unchanged. The tensions and differences between different branches of psychiatry make it challenging to respond to patient needs. The World Psychiatric Association-Asian Journal of Psychiatry Commission makes recommendations to enhance psychiatric education based on existing resources and recent developments.

Unprecedented 21st century heat across the Pacific Northwest of North America

Karen J. Heeter, Grant L. Harley, John T. Abatzoglou, Kevin J. Anchukaitis, Edward R. Cook, Bethany L. Coulthard, Laura A. Dye, Inga K. Homfeld

Summary: In the summer of 2021, the Pacific Northwest region of North America experienced a two-week-long extreme heatwave, breaking historical records. Tree-ring records indicate that summer temperatures in 2021, as well as the rate of warming in recent decades, are unprecedented in the past thousand years for the PNW. Without efforts to reduce anthropogenic emissions, climate models project a rapidly increasing risk of regular occurrence of extreme summer temperatures similar to 2021 in the PNW, with a 50% chance of yearly occurrence by 2050. The 2021 summer temperatures serve as a benchmark and motivation for communities in historically temperate climates to include extreme heat impacts in their climate change adaptation strategies.

Ternary NASICON-typed Na3.8MnV0.8Zr0.2(PO4)3 cathode with stable Mn2+/Mn3+ redox and fast sodiation/desodiation kinetics for Na-ion batteries

Ao Tang, Shu Zhang, Weiguang Lin, Dongdong Xiao, Jun Ma, Chaoqun Shang, Min Yan, Zhanhui Zhang, Changlian Chen, Zhiliang Huang, Katerina E. Aifantis, Pu Hu, Guanglei Cui

Summary: In this study, a novel ternary NASICON Na3.8MnV0.8Zr0.2(PO4)(3) was successfully synthesized and tested as a cathode material for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries. By partially substituting Zr4+, the obtained Na3.8MnV0.8Zr0.2(PO4)(3) exhibited a high capacity retention of 83.5% after 1000 cycles at 2 C, and impressive rate capacities of 73.1 mAh g(-1) at 20 C and 66.8 mAh g(-1) at 60 C. The enhanced rate capability can be attributed to the widened Na-ion channels and high Na-ion diffusivity. Additionally, the low volume expansion during Na-ion extraction contributes to the structural integrity over cycling. This work paves the way for the development of greener, high-power, and long-life sodium-ion batteries.
