Stress and coping among displaced Bosnian refugees: An exploratory study
Traumatic experiences associated with the recent war in Bosnia (1992â1995) have impacted the lives of many Bosnian refugees and displaced people. Approximately 25% of Bosnians were forced to leave their homes and resettle in other areas of Bosnia or abroad. In this study, 82 displaced Bosnians living in the area of Tuzla, Bosnia, and 53 refugees living in the San Francisco Bay area completed the same questionnaire in the Bosnian language. The study describes war-related stress and the association of marital status, anxiety, depression, and sensitivity levels. Furthermore, being single, having lower anxiety ratings, finding and adapting to a new environment easily, and moving on with their lives indicated better self-reported health. Findings also revealed that being divorced or separated, better self-reported health, and lower anxiety, depression, and sensitivity ratings were predictors of more effective coping
Multiwavelength fiber-optic temperature sensor for cryogenic to high temperatures
The results of an investigation of an autoreferencing fiber-optic temperature sensor based on a CdTe single crystal are presented. A method for extending the working temperature range is proposed. A special sensor design permits measurements of low temperatures (lower than -50°C), as well as high temperatures of more than 400°C
