Objectives:
Although wisdom is a desirable life span developmental goal, researchers have often lacked brief and reliable construct measures. We examined whether an abbreviated set of items could be empirically derived from the popular 40-item five-factor Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS).
Design:Survey data from 709 respondents were randomly split into two and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
Setting:The survey was conducted online in Australia.
Participants:The total sample consisted of 709 participants (Mage = 35.67 years; age range = 15–92 years) of whom 22% were male, and 78% female.
Measurement:The study analyzed the 40-item SAWS.
Results:Sample 1 showed the traditional five-factor structure for the 40-item SAWS did not fit the data. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on Sample 2 offered an alternative model based on a 15-item, five-factor solution with the latent variables Reminiscence/Reflection, Humor, Emotional Regulation, Experience, and Openness. This model, which replicates the factor structure of the original 40-item SAWS with a short form of 15 items, was then confirmed on Sample 1 using a CFA that produced acceptable fit and measurement invariance across age groups.
Conclusions:We suggest the abbreviated SAWS-15 can be useful as a measure of individual differences in wisdom, and we highlight areas for future research.

Introduction:
Implementation of genome-scale sequencing in clinical care has significant challenges: the technology is highly dimensional with many kinds of potential results, results interpretation and delivery require expertise and coordination across multiple medical specialties, clinical utility may be uncertain, and there may be broader familial or societal implications beyond the individual participant. Transdisciplinary consortia and collaborative team science are well poised to address these challenges. However, understanding the complex web of organizational, institutional, physical, environmental, technologic, and other political and societal factors that influence the effectiveness of consortia is understudied. We describe our experience working in the Clinical Sequencing Evidence-Generating Research (CSER) consortium, a multi-institutional translational genomics consortium.
Methods:A key aspect of the CSER consortium was the juxtaposition of site-specific measures with the need to identify consensus measures related to clinical utility and to create a core set of harmonized measures. During this harmonization process, we sought to minimize participant burden, accommodate project-specific choices, and use validated measures that allow data sharing.
Results:Identifying platforms to ensure swift communication between teams and management of materials and data were essential to our harmonization efforts. Funding agencies can help consortia by clarifying key study design elements across projects during the proposal preparation phase and by providing a framework for data sharing data across participating projects.
Conclusions:In summary, time and resources must be devoted to developing and implementing collaborative practices as preparatory work at the beginning of project timelines to improve the effectiveness of research consortia.

Psychotropic medication use and psychiatric symptoms during pregnancy each are associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in offspring. Commonly, studies considering medication effects do not adequately assess symptoms, nor evaluate children when the effects are believed to occur, the fetal period. This study examined maternal serotonin reuptake inhibitor and polypharmacy use in relation to serial assessments of five indices of fetal neurobehavior and Bayley Scales of Infant Development at 12 months in N = 161 socioeconomically advantaged, non-Hispanic White women with a shared risk phenotype, diagnosed major depressive disorder. On average fetuses showed the expected development over gestation. In contrast, infant average Bayley psychomotor and mental development scores were low (M = 84.10 and M = 89.92, range of normal limits 85–114) with rates of delay more than 2–3 times what would be expected based on this measure's normative data. Controlling for prenatal and postnatal depressive symptoms, prenatal medication effects on neurobehavioral development were largely undetected in the fetus and infant. Mental health care directed primarily at symptoms may not address the additional psychosocial needs of women parenting infants. Speculatively, prenatal serotonin reuptake inhibitor exposure may act as a plasticity rather than risk factor, potentially enhancing receptivity to a nonoptimal postnatal environment in some mother–infant dyads.

Introduction
Firefighters represent an important population for understanding the consequences of exposure to potentially traumatic stressors.
Hypothesis/ProblemThe researchers were interested in the effects of pre-employment disaster exposure on firefighter recruits’ depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms during the first three years of fire service and hypothesized that: (1) disaster-exposed firefighters would have greater depression and PTSD symptoms than non-exposed overall; and (2) depression and PTSD symptoms would worsen over years in fire service in exposed firefighters, but not in their unexposed counterparts.
MethodsIn a baseline interview, 35 male firefighter recruits from seven US cities reported lifetime exposure to natural disaster. These disaster-exposed male firefighter recruits were matched on age, city, and education with non-exposed recruits.
ResultsA generalized linear mixed model revealed a significant exposure×time interaction (e coef =1.04; P<.001), such that depression symptoms increased with time for those with pre-employment disaster exposure only. This pattern persisted after controlling for social support from colleagues (e coefficient=1.05; P<.001), social support from families (e coefficient=1.04; P=.001), and on-the-job trauma exposure (coefficient=0.06; e coefficient=1.11; P<.001). Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms did not vary significantly between exposure groups at baseline (P=.61).
ConclusionDepression symptoms increased with time for those with pre-employment disaster exposure only, even after controlling for social support. Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms did not vary between exposure groups.

Thermally labile involatile inorganic complexes and biomolecules have been laser desorbed from silver doped emulsions without significant fragmentation. The silver doped emulsions are saturated with the molecule of interest and then mounted in the source chamber of a skimmed molecular beam apparatus. A pulsed frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser is used to desorb the molecules. The desorbed molecules are entrained in a pulsed supersonic expansion of argon, and are thereby cooled rotationally and vibrationally. A pulsed tunable dye laser is used to ionize the desorbed molecules (either resonantly or non-resonantly) between the acceleration grids of a Wiley-McLaren configuration time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Mass-resolved detection of the ions created from the desorbed species reveals that the desorption process causes almost no fragmentation for all the species studied (various aromatic amino acids and inorganic coordination compounds such as the [Ru(2,2’bipyridyl)3] moiety). While other techniques are successful for introducing relatively involatile materials into mass spectrometers, they often lead to substantial fragmentation of the molecular species of interest. Laser desorption combined with laser ionization can minimize fragmentation during both the vaporization process and the ionization step. Furthermore, a specific merit of our sample handling technique involving silver doped emulsions is that the number density of desorbed species is found to remain sufficiently stable on a shot-to-shot basis so as to permit the recording of wavelength scanned resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization spectra. The combination of laser desorption with resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy has thus provided for the first time a means of recording electronic spectra for a range of vibrationally and rotationally cooled involatile materials.

Proton magnetic resonance data are presented for the hydrogen alloys of plasma-deposited amorphous boron, silicon, carbon, silicon carbide, and silicon nitride. Linewidth and lineshape analysis leads to the conclusion that hydrogen nuclei are clustered in a-Si/C:H, a-C:H, and a-Si/NiH. The a-Si/C:H and a-C:H data show that hydrogen exists in two phases. Modeling of linewidths in a-Si/C:H indicates that the two phases are heavily hydrogenated carbon clusters imbedded in a weakly hydrogenated silicon lattice. Evidence is also presented for the presence of motionally narrowed hydrogen spectra in a-B:H, a-Si/N:H and a-C:H. “B NMR spectra in a-B:H show no evidence of motional narrowing. It is suggested that the hydrogen nuclei giving rise to the motionally narrowed spectra are associated with disorder modes.
