Data_Sheet_1_Cross-Culture Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the DrInC Questionnaire in Tanzanian Swahili.CSV
Aims: To develop Swahili versions of the Drinker Inventory of Consequences (DrInC) and evaluate its psychometric properties among a mixed population in Tanzania.Methods: A Swahili version of the DrInC was developed by a panel of bilingual Swahili and English speakers through translation and back-translation. The translated DrInC was administered to a sample of Tanzanian injury patients and a sample of the general population. The validity and reliability of the scale were tested using standard statistical methods.Results: The translated version of the DrInC questionnaire was found to have outstanding domain coherence and language clarity. The tested scale and subscales have adequate reliability (>0.85). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed the five-factor solution by yielding adequate results. DrInC score is statistically significantly correlated with alcohol consumption quantity and the AUDIT score, suggesting that DrInC is able to predict alcohol use as well.Conclusions: This study presents the first validation of the DrInC questionnaire with injury patients and a general population and the first adaptations of the DrInC questionnaire in the Tanzanian and Swahili setting. DrInC instrument was found to have satisfactory psychometric properties, resulting in a new medical and social research tool in this setting.</p

Template-Free Synthesis of High-Yield Fe-Doped Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Ultralong Microwires with Enhanced Two-Photon Absorption
Doping in perovskite
is challenging and competitive due to the
inherently fast growth mechanism of perovskite structure. Here, we
demonstrate successful synthesis of high-yield Fe-doped cesium lead
halide perovskite ultralong microwires (MWs) that have diameters up
to ∼5 μm and lengths up to millimeters via an antisolvent
vapor-assisted template-free method. Microstructure characterization
confirms the uniformly doped Fe in the high-quality crystal perovskite
MWs. Significantly, doping the Fe(III) concentration can affect both
the MW morphology and photoluminescence (PL). The band edge emission
of the MW at variable excitation has been accounted for by the superposition
and combination of optical transitions of nearby singlet, triplet,
and magnetic polaronic excitons. High-quality two-photon PL emission
and the enhanced nonlinear absorption coefficient of Fe-doped MWs
have been experimentally demonstrated. This superhigh nonlinear absorption
coefficient and high-quality optical properties endow it with promising
applications in spin-related optical switching and optical limiting
devices

Superfast-Response and Ultrahigh-Power-Density Electromechanical Actuators Based on Hierarchal Carbon Nanotube Electrodes and Chitosan
Here we report a novel single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) based bimorph electromechanical actuator, which consists of unique as-grown SWNT films as double electrode layers separated by a chitosan electrolyte layer consisting of an ionic liquid. By taking advantage of the special hierarchical structure and the outstanding electrical and mechanical properties of the SWNT film electrodes, our actuators show orders-of-magnitude improvements in many aspects compared to previous ionic electroactive polymer (i-EAP) actuators, including superfast response (19 ms), quite wide available frequency range (dozens to hundreds of Hz), incredible large stress generating rate (1080 MPa/s), and ultrahigh mechanical output power density (244 W/kg). These remarkable achievements together with their facile fabrication, low driving voltage, flexibility, and long durability enable the SWNT-based actuators many applications such as artificial muscles for biomimetic flying insects or robots and flexible deployable reflectors
