- Background: Clinicians increasingly serve youths from societal/cultural backgrounds different from their own. This raises questions about how to interpret what such youths report. Rescorla et al. (2019, European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 28, 1107) found that much more variance in 72,493 parents' ratings of their offspring's mental health problems was accounted for by individual differences than by societal or cultural differences. Although parents' reports are essential for clinical assessment of their offspring, they reflect parents' perceptions of the offspring. Consequently, clinical assessment also requires self-reports from the offspring themselves. To test effects of individual differences, society, and culture on youths' self-ratings of their problems and strengths, we analyzed Youth Self-Report (YSR) scores for 39,849 11-17 year olds in 38 societies. Methods: Indigenous researchers obtained YSR self-ratings from population samples of youths in 38 societies representing 10 culture cluster identified in the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavioral Effectiveness study. Hierarchical linear modeling of scores on 17 problem scales and one strengths scale estimated the percent of variance accounted for by individual differences (including measurement error), society, and culture cluster. ANOVAs tested age and gender effects. Results: Averaged across the 17 problem scales, individual differences accounted for 92.5% of variance, societal differences 6.0%, and cultural differences 1.5%. For strengths, individual differences accounted for 83.4% of variance, societal differences 10.1%, and cultural differences 6.5%. Age and gender had very small effects. Conclusions: Like parents' ratings, youths' self-ratings of problems were affected much more by individual differences than societal/cultural differences. Most variance in self-rated strengths also reflected individual differences, but societal/cultural effects were larger than for problems, suggesting greater influence of social desirability. The clinical significance of individual differences in youths' self-reports should thus not be minimized by societal/cultural differences, which-while important-can be taken into account with appropriate norms, as can gender and age differences.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2019, IRnova launched a full-scale production of a reduced size, weight and power integrated detector dewar cooler assemblies (Oden MW; VGA format with 15 μm pixel pitch) covering the full mid-wavelength infrared spectral domain (3.7 μm - 5.1 μm). Oden MW exhibits excellent performance with operating temperatures up to 110 K at F/5.5 with typical values of temporal and spatial noise equivalent temperature of 22 mK and 7 mK, respectively, and an operability higher than 99.85%. More recently, IRnova developed a new detector design with a cut-off wavelength of 5.3 μm which can potentially allow an operating temperature of the detector up to 150K with excellent performance demonstrated on single pixels with a quantum efficiency as high as 46% at 4 μm without antireflection coating, a turn on bias lower than -100 mV and a dark current density as low as 8 × 10-6 A/cm2, which is a factor of < 5 higher than Rule07. The dark current was also found independent of the device size ranging from 10 μm to 223 μm indicating that surface leakage currents are not limiting the dark current. The achievable operating temperature of an FPA made of this new detector design has been estimated to be <150 K with F/5.5 optics. These outstanding results demonstrate that this new generation of detector design is an excellent candidate for future high operating temperature and high-definition focal plane array.

- Previous genome-wide association studies revealed multiple common variants involved in eczema but the role of rare variants remains to be elucidated. Here, we investigate the role of rare variants in eczema susceptibility. We meta-analyze 21 study populations including 20,016 eczema cases and 380,433 controls. Rare variants are imputed with high accuracy using large population-based reference panels. We identify rare exonic variants in DUSP1, NOTCH4, and SLC9A4 to be associated with eczema. In DUSP1 and NOTCH4 missense variants are predicted to impact conserved functional domains. In addition, five novel common variants at SATB1-AS1/KCNH8, TRIB1/LINC00861, ZBTB1, TBX21/OSBPL7, and CSF2RB are discovered. While genes prioritized based on rare variants are significantly up-regulated in the skin, common variants point to immune cell function. Over 20% of the single nucleotide variant-based heritability is attributable to rare and low-frequency variants. The identified rare/low-frequency variants located in functional protein domains point to promising targets for novel therapeutic approaches to eczema.

- The dependence of quantum efficiency (QE) on fill factor and pixel pitch is studied theoretically and experimentally in fully delineated type-II superlattice (T2SL) detectors. Theoretically, a 2-dimensional simulation model is used to compute the absorption in the array geometry, which shows an insensitivity of the optical response to the fill factor. This is a result of the photodiode array (PDA) geometry concentrating the light in the pixel area. QE measurements on PDAs with varying pixel pitch (from 225 to 10 μm) and fill factors (from 98% to 64%) confirm this independence of the QE on the fill factor and results in a 50% increase in the photocurrent density in 10 μm pitch PDAs compared to 225 μm pitch PDAs. Furthermore, measurements of the dark current density vs pixel size revealed an absence of surface leakage in these PDAs, which, combined with the increased photocurrent density results in an improved signal-to-noise ratio when reducing the pitch in these T2SL detectors. Finally, this result resolves the QE-modulation transfer function trade-off, as the electrical isolation of the pixel is carried out without impacting the QE of the array.

- The modulation transfer function (MTF) in fully delineated 15 μ m pitch type-II superlattice (T2SL) mid-wave infrared (IR) detectors is studied theoretically and experimentally. Theoretically, a 2-D model to simulate the spot scan (SS) profile is presented and used to compute the MTF as a function of the wavelength and the array geometry (pitch size, trench width). The dependence of the detector trench on the MTF is also evaluated experimentally by the edge spread function (ESF) method according to the ISO12233 standard. The experimental results show an excellent agreement with the theoretical model, reporting an MTF of 0.61 and 0.60 at the Nyquist frequency for 1 and 2 μ m trench, respectively. With the simulation model, the effect of the increased optical crosstalk for smaller pixel pitch is discussed as a function of the trench width (0.5, 1, and 2 μ m) and incidence angle up to ± 30 ∘ . Simulation results show MTF values at the Nyquist frequency between 0.61–0.62, 0.58–0.60, and 0.55–0.57 with an average degradation of 1%, 2%, and 7% at an angle of ± 30 ∘ compared to normal incidence for the 10, 7.5, and 5 μ m pitch, respectively.
