Quantification of Lignosulfonates and Humic Components in Mixtures by ATR FTIR Spectroscopy

The existing techniques for lignosulfonate (LS) in humate fertilizers lack selectivity to humic substances (HS) as the main component; they involve labor- and time-consuming sample preparation to separate the components at the level of detectable LS concentrations. The procedure based on attenuated total reflectance (ATR) FTIR spectroscopy with simple sample preparation for directly quantifying lignosulfonates in aqueous solutions and lignosulfonates and HS in aqueous solutions of preparations based on HS of coal origin (Sigma Aldrich, Powhumus, and Life Force) was developed. Lignosulfonate quantification is possible by exploiting the bands at 1266, 1192, 1093, and 1042 cm−1 with limits of detection of 0.4–2 g/L. Quantifying LS in a mixture with humates includes centrifugation of prepared solutions to separate interfering silicate impurities. LS quantification in the range of 10–100 g/L against HS (up to a 2-fold excess) with an error of up to 5% is possible based on the spectral absorptions at 1093 and 1042 cm−1. Simultaneous quantification of humate in the mixture with an error of up to 10% is possible by exploiting the bands at 1570 and 1383 cm−1 (carboxylates). The study shows the possibility of determining lignosulfonate against an HS background several times higher than lignosulfonate. The developed technique is applicable for analyzing fertilizers of simple composition and quality control of pure humates used for plant growth. Obtaining the most accurate results needs calibration solutions from the same brands that make up the test mixture.

SISTEM PAKAR DIAGNOSA PENYAKIT GANGGUAN TIDUR DENGAN METODE FORWARD CHAINING BERBASIS WEB (STUDI KASUS : UPTD PUSKESMAS TELAGA DEWA KOTA BENGKULU)

Abstract—The necessities of life force people to work to fulfill their daily lives. In general, humans work during the day and rest at night. A lot of time spent working requires humans to rest to recover their physical condition. Sleep is an important phase in daily activities that is useful for balancing human life. Everyone's sleep needs are different. Many people are long-sleepers who need 9 to 10 hours of sleep a night while others are short-sleepers who only need less than 6 hours of sleep each night. Long sleep is not always associated with sleep disturbances. Besides that most people are not medically trained, therefore the authors intend to design an "expert system for diagnosing sleep disorders using the web-based forward chaining method" which can be accessed via http://puskesmastelagadewa.com/. This application is expected to be used by the community in early diagnosis as a prevention of more severe disease. This system is designed using the PHP programming language and MySQL database, the resulting expert system is able to help patients diagnose sleep disorders while providing solutions to the disease. From the test results, it is obtained that 100% functionality runs according to system requirements. In the system testing carried out at the Telaga Dewa Health Center UPTD, Bengkulu City, symptoms and diseases were obtained from 7 existing sample data.

Navigating Critical Zones: Indeterminate and Intimate Geographies

Navigating critical zones is one way to describe our life today. It is also a tribute to the legacy of Peter Weibel (see supplemental material for Jürgen Claus’s artistic tribute), a giant in our field and a force of life in our world. We grieve his death interwoven with gratitude for his life. Peter’s work explored earth as a network of critical zones, experimenting with new modes of coexistence between all forms of life. Navigating critical zones connects digital activism with earthly politics, traversing indeterminate and intimate geographies of personal space and collective conscience.How do humans intersect and connect with nonhuman intelligence? We are increasingly interdependent with nonhuman intelligence that permeates daily life as over 6.6 billion people worldwide, and 97% of Americans, use smartphones [1] today. Artificial intelligence guides GPS maps, navigation, search engines, recommendation algorithms, social media, facial recognition, autocorrect, text editors, e-payments, and more. AI’s pervasive, exponential growth generates countless opportunities for collaboration and reimagination of social systems overdue for an overhaul. It also raises fear, insecurity, anxiety, and unanswered questions. How do we adapt to a future we cannot foresee? Individuals and institutions grapple with how to control, contain, and constrain AI, simultaneously trying to leverage or harness the potential of current creative disruptors like ChatGPT, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and chatSonic. Rather than attempt to outsmart or outpace AI, we need to out-humanize it, by infusing our techno-relationships with our sense of humility, humor, playfulness, curiosity, intuition, empathy, joy, vulnerability, courage, unpredictability, spontaneity, creativity, generosity. This may be a long, incomplete, imperfect list, but it’s a good start. These are core qualities needed for a symbiotic relationship with AI. We don’t need to humanize technology; we need to humanize ourselves in relation to it. Ironically, we may become even more human and more humane by engaging with AI as active partners and co-creators.This issue of Leonardo explores how to navigate the emerging entanglement between human bodies, nonhuman intelligence and lifeforms. Doing so exposes the indeterminacy of AI and the intimacy of personal geographies, social histories, disability and sexuality, the vulnerability of dislocation and abiding connection to place. As a collaborative art-science project, Lovewear embeds haptic feedback into everyday garments for disabled women. TransHuman Saunter, a geo-locative, interactive artwork in the Brisbane City Botanical Gardens, offers four artists’ collaborative digital experiments centered around the Indian banyan tree. Each artist integrates their distinct cultural identity and experience of otherness as women of color in Australia.Compelling stories offer an “empathy gym” to exercise muscles of imagination and compassion for perspectives outside of ourselves. Creative storytelling can unify people across entrenched, yet artificially constructed, social barriers and divisions. Physiologically, when we collectively focus on a cognitive narrative, our heart rates and the rhythm of our breath sync together. We get on the same wavelength, attuned to one another and receptive to empathic cooperation, collaboration, and collective wisdom. This is the power of storytelling, the power of creative captivation, the power of recognizing we are part of something bigger than ourselves. The sense of “being in the presence of something vast beyond our understanding of the world” [2] defines awe, a critical experience for evolving the most humane aspects of human nature [3]. Ultimately, increasing the collective understanding and experience of awe helps us navigate earth’s critical zones and the complex entanglement of diverse intelligences and lifeforms, leading to a symbiotic future in an interspecies world.

P‐8.7: Design of Automatic Test System for Button Function Durability in Special Display Application

In the field of LCD special display, button function durability test is essential to verify the lifetime and reliability of button light guide plate. At present, button function durability test is still performed manually, which is labor‐intensive and time‐consuming and results in the incidence of missed detection and false detection. In this paper, an automatic test system for button function durability was designed. The reciprocating pressing motion of the cylinder was used to replace the action of the manual keystroke in this work. In addition, the pressure sensor was driven by the servo motor to detect the contact force between the button trigger probe and the button, so as to realize the feedback of the button force and judge the damage degree of the button. The system achieves an acceptable effect to realize the automatic test of button fatigue life and button force value, and can be applied to test other units of special display, such as touch panel.

Individual Emotions Describing Continuity and Engagement in Religion: Charismatic Communality in the Light of Interaction Ritual Theory

The emotionality of modern times is evident in the ways in which people are religious. Among the Christian denominations, the Charismatic/Pentecostal movement, in all its diversity, is the most successful in spreading globally. It has been argued that charismatic communities are successful venues of interaction and are powerful in offering emotional experiences. However, in order for such religious experiences to lead to a continuity of religious interaction, a long-term tone of emotional energy and the presence of a stable social bond between participants is needed. The aim of this article is to analyze emotional energy as an outcome of successful interaction rituals in charismatic communities. Emotional energy is a concept that Randal Collins has formed, building on Durkheim, to analyze emotions in interaction by viewing them as “the main motivating force in social life”. This was studied by interviewing individuals on their emotions about their charismatic communities and daily life. When utilizing a self-report focus on subjective feelings, individuals may report information using different wordings relevant to any component of emotion. Special importance is placed on the cognitive processing of emotional episodes, which allows individuals to detect the relevance of each emotion, understand its causes and consequences, and communicate the emotional knowledge to others, including the researcher. The results show that, most of all, the emotions that cause some sort of pleasure, e.g., happiness and surprise, are the leading lights in narrating engagement in charismatic communities and faith. Faith also has a fear-regulating effect. Happiness as a mood is built both on experiences of God’s help and even more on one’s responsible way of life and the feeling of abandoning moral hesitation in favor of doing what is ethically right in life, which also regulates negative emotions. Collins’ theory focuses on emotional energy that is positive, but emotional experiences can also be negative, which do not contribute to the solidarity of a group.

Aadhunik Samskrit Kavita Or Maharishi Arvind Ka Aadhyatmik Rashtravaad

The natural self-respect of dignity and glory that people have towards their nation's land, population, culture, civilization, history, religion, literature, art, politics, philosophy of life etc. is called nationalism. Poet Maithilisharan Gupta has written-
 "jisako nij gaaruv tatha nij desh ka abheemaan hai
 vah nar nahin nar- pusu nira hai ya mere lie jarooree saamaan hai” ||The meaning of the word nation is very broad. In the meaning of 'Rajati Rajate Va Iti Rashtram', the word 'Rashtra' is derived from the root 'Raj Deeptau' and 'Sarvdhatubhya: Shtran' (Aunadic Sutra). National consciousness is situated in the form of a universal routine rather than being representative of any particular place, time or character. This eternal life force, which we are calling national consciousness, resides in the psyche of our countrymen, in their heartland. The feeling of nationalism lives in the minds and hearts of its people. This is the national form of India. The entire Sanskrit literature is full of nationalism, but the irony is that due to not being the language of common people, people are still unaware of the secrets hidden in these texts. Right from the Rigveda to cosmic literature, all the concepts of the nation and its related ideas are full of ideas. In the Vak Sukta of Rigveda, the sage says-“Truth, O king, and falsehood, and deception, come to the dominion of my nation”Some poet has said –“The north which is the sea and the south of the HimalayasVarsha tad bharatam nama bharati yatra santati:||”It is written in the Yajurveda that the nation should be independent, benevolent to the people and strive for the welfare of the world.“Janabhrtya Rashtrada Rashtra Me Datta , Visvabhrtastha Rashtra Da |Give me the nation , give me the nation in my own kingdom” ||It is also described in the Shukla Yajurveda –“........yogakshemam na: kalpantam” ||Also elsewhere –Ittha hi som inmade brahma cakara vardhanam |Shavistha Vajrinnojasa prithivya ni:shasha ahimarchannanu svarajyam”||In the Prithvi Sukta (12/1) and Rashtrabhivardhanam Sukta (1/29) of the Atharva Veda, the sages have described the same:Abhivritya sapatnanabhi ya no arayata: |Abhiprutanyantam tishtabhi yo no durasyati ||The Manusmriti expresses national consciousness as –This is the firstborn of the country-bornAll men on earth will learn their own character.” ||Modern Sanskrit poets are also reflecting nationalism in their poems.

Impact of Acrylic and Silicone-Based Soft-Liner Materials on Biting Force and Quality of Life of the Complete Denture Wearers: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

This rerandomized clinical trial evaluated the influence of soft liners (SL) on biting force, pain perception, and the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of complete denture wearers. Twenty-eight completely edentulous patients complaining of ill-fitting lower complete dentures were selected to participate in the study from the Dental Hospital, College of Dentistry, Taibah University. All patients received new complete maxillary and mandibular dentures; then they were randomly divided into two groups (14 patients in each group): the acrylic-based SL group, in which the mandibular denture was lined with an acrylic-based soft liner, and the silicone-based SL group, in which the mandibular denture was lined with a silicone-based soft liner. OHRQoL and maximum bite force (MBF) were assessed in this study before denture relining (baseline), then at one month and three months after relining. The finding showed that both treatment modalities significantly improved the OHRQoL of included patients at one-month and three-month periods compared to baseline records (i.e., dentures before relining) with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). However, there is no statistical difference between groups at the baseline, one-, and three-month follow-up periods. Regarding maximum biting force, when acrylic-based SL is compared to silicone-based SL, there is no statistical difference between groups at baseline (75 ± 31 and 83 ± 32 N) and one-month follow-up periods (145 ± 53 and 156 ± 49 N); however, after three months of function, the silicone-based group recorded 166 ± 57 N statistically significant high biting force compared to the acrylic-based group that recorded 116 ± 47 N (p < 0.05). Permanent soft denture liners positively affect maximum biting force, pain perception, and OHRQoL more than conventional dentures. After three months, silicone-based SL outperformed acrylic-based soft liners in maximum biting force, which may indicate better long-term results.

Spirit and Sport: Religion and the Fragile Athletic Body in Popular Culture by Sean Samuel O’Neil

Reviewed by: Spirit and Sport: Religion and the Fragile Athletic Body in Popular Culture by Sean Samuel O’Neil Dr. Nick J. Watson Sean Samuel O’Neil, Spirit and Sport: Religion and the Fragile Athletic Body in Popular Culture (Sport and Popular Culture Series, The University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville), 2022. During the last two decades there has been a marked increase in publications, events and practical initiatives surrounding sports and the Christian faith. Within this corpus of work there has been limited explorations of the theology of disability sport, in particular, scholarship that specifically addresses bodily fragility and vulnerability. Therefore, Sean O’Neil’s book is a welcome and timely contribution to the literature, especially because of its rich and provocative content rooted in popular culture, which makes it ideal for classroom discussion and study—the author himself teaches a sport and religion class from which some of the book’s content emerged. This book’s content is provocative (in a good way). The book comprises six thematic chapters, a conclusion and afterword. Chapter titles such as, Eunuchs and Suicidal Athletes: Co-Creating Meaning in Times of Despair (Ch. 2), Pilgrimage, Prozac, and Pentecostals: Synchronicity on God’s Path (Ch. 3) and Cowboys and Soul Surfers: Gender, Disability, and Nature from Bethany Hamilton to The Rider (Ch. 6), reflect the provocative, challenging and engaging content of the text. An auto-ethno-graphic approach is adopted by the author—a hospital chaplain, bishop and pastor—who carefully weaves parts of his own life story into the book’s narrative. One methodological reason to deploy an auto-ethno-graphic approach in scholarly writing or empirical research, is that the author/researcher has an in-depth and experiential understanding of some, or all, of the subject matter. The following excerpt from the Preface, which was written by the author, demonstrates how the use of autoethnography organically emerged during the book project: When I began this project, I did not plan to use personal details. I did not anticipate that body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a personal antagonist that I thought had weakened over the years would revive [End Page 67] with such overwhelming force in my life. My mental health struggles became so acute when I worked as a hospital chaplain during the pandemic that I wondered tearfully at times whether my wife would ultimately end up completing this book in my post-humous absence. . . . Something happened, though, even before that grueling emotional stretch, that made me determined to include aspects of my personal life in this book. As is the case for so many of the meaningful events I describe in this book, the turning point was the result of a coincidence [at] a Christian writer’s conference. (p. xiii) Vulnerability, coincidence (some would say God-incidence), God’s providence and what the psychoanalyst Carl Jung called synchronicity, are frequent themes in the book, both in the description of the author’s life and of those athletes whose stories of bodily vulnerability and fragility are included within the narrative—Bethany Hamilton, Oscar Pistorius and Steve Gleason, for instance. Other strong themes in the book are the secular-sacred dyad, depression and anxiety, race, pilgrimage, brain trauma from participation in violent sports, intersectionality, platform ministry-evangelism, embodiment, human limitations and the American dream (and the myth of individual opportunity), the Great Sports Myth (the widespread belief that sports are always intrinsically good) and the use of fictional accounts of the sport-religion relationship, for example, A Prayer for Owen Meaney. And so, this book is truly interdisciplinary, broad in its scope and in some ways polemic in that it provides a critique of the dominant big-business American sports model and ableist attitudes in wider US culture. Given the diversity of themes presented in the book it is challenging to know which to highlight and discuss in a brief review essay, so to best represent the book’s overall content and merits (and limitations). Arguably, chapter four—The Perils of Black Athletic Success: What ‘Get Out’ Gets Right about Inspiration Porn—is an important one, if one measures importance by the number of people across America that its content may impinge upon.

Research on the pressure distribution under different airfoil types of aircraft

Airfoils produce life force for aircraft, which is the reason for planes flying in the sky. The formation of the airfoil depends on its shape, so airfoil designs play an important role in airplane designs. The airfoil design is also prioritized in the process of aircraft design, its speed of creating affecting the progress of the entire project. The goal of airfoil’s design is not simply to create “good” wings, because it does not exist. This means that when airfoils are adapting to a certain airflow or flying condition, their performance might not be satisfied due to environmental variations. Therefore, the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and the Small Disturbance Equation, this study uses python to perform numerical analysis to simulate the surface pressure of the ideal wings under certain flying statues, and then applying a series of algorithms to calculate the shape of the target airfoils, which can find the most suitable airfoil shape under the flying circumstances. According to the researches, the best possible wings satisfying which the pressure below be as larger as possible than the pressure above to produce lift force, is f(x) = k*(x-1)∧4 for downside and f(x) = k*sin(pi(x-1)) for the top. Besides, after a series of calculations, this paper realized that the smaller the k value can be, the better fit it is to an ideal simulated airfoil shape.

Ngā Pūrakau No Ngā Rākau: Stories from Trees

Within te ao Māori—the Māori world view—whakapapa, or genealogical connections, link together every being. Relationships with trees are traced through ancestral bonds that are recited through storytelling. Trees are tūpuna, elders, who hold knowledge, reflected in the etymology of rākāu (tree) being the pū (base) of pūrākau (stories). The Atua Tāne Mahuta, sought ngā kete o te wānanga, the three baskets of knowledge. The wānanga is a place of learning and was brought into being by the god of trees, forests, and birds. Ngāpuhi artist Nova Paul’s experimental films are made with kaupapa Māori values. Her most recent films Rākau and Hawaiki, both 2022, reflect on lessons from trees, the latter premiering at the Sundance Film Festival 2023. These films are not so much about trees as by trees. Nova has made film developer from foliage of the trees that are filmed so that, for example, the riverside pōhutukawa tree is processed in a bath of pōhutukawa chlorophyl developer. For Nova, this process reveals not only an image but the mauri (life force) of the tree through the taking and then the making of her tree films. The films produced are more like an arboreal self-portrait: trees speaking directly through an embodied medium. If trees process sunlight to produce chlorophyl, here, chlorophyl produces images of light in order to communicate messages across species. The tohunga Reverend Māori Marsden wrote that photographic technologies might provide spiritual insight into perceiving life force: “Those with the powers and insight and perceptions (Matakite), perceived mauri as an aura of light and energy radiating from all animate life. It is now possible to photograph the mauri in living things.” In previous films, Nova experimented with colour-separation techniques to pull apart the fabric of time and space, which Tessa wrote about for the Third Text online forum “Decolonising Colour?” That article was translated into Spanish for the book Pensamientos Migrantes: Intersecciones cinematográficas by the Colombian experimental film publishers Hambre Cine (2020). Continuing with a conversation about the ways in which experimental film practices can open up a space for decolonial thought and Indigenous epistemologies, Nova and Tessa co-write this paper in order to share the pūrākau (stories) arising from the images of these rākāu (trees), in which photosynthesis, filmmaking, and spirit, are intertwined, and where the mauri (life force) is revealed.

Shifting Mobility Behaviors in Unprecedented Times: A Multigroup MIMIC Model Investigating Intentions to Use On-Demand Ride Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The spread of COVID-19 has been a major disruptive force in people's everyday lives and mobility behavior. The demand for on-demand ride services, such as taxis and ridehailing, has been specifically affected given both restrictions in service operations and users' concerns about virus transmission in shared vehicles. In the early months of the pandemic, demand for these modes decreased by as much as 80%. This study examines intentions to use on-demand ride services in the early lockdown stage of the pandemic in the United States, a period of unprecedented mobility reductions, changing household routines and transforming travel behaviors. Using data from a survey disseminated in June 2020 to 700 U.S. respondents, we use multigroup MIMIC (Multiple Indicator Multiple Cause) models to investigate the stated shift in intentions to use on-demand modes of travel. By using group-based segmentation we control for variation in ridership intentions according to personal, household, attitudinal factors, and pandemic experiences. The results point to a reduction across the board in the likelihood of using on-demand mobility associated with a significant COVID-19 effect. Beyond this general decrease, several groups are found to have more positive intentions, including younger adults, urban residents, graduate-degree holders, and people of Hispanic, Latino, Asian, and Pacific Islander ethnicities/races. The attitudinal effect of "tech-savviness" drives higher user intentions, revealing indirect effects of gender, education, and age. Multigroup analysis provides further evidence of potential COVID-triggered shifts in on-demand ridership intentions. The most significant drops in likelihood are observed for younger respondents (below 45), Black compared with all other racial/ethnic status, and for past users of on-demand mobility. This latter result is somewhat surprising, as riders who are younger and more experienced with on-demand travel are more likely to have been users in the past, but also more likely to reduce use during the pandemic. To conclude, we discuss the need to investigate pandemic experiences, risk attitudes, and circumstances to understand evolving mobility behavior and specific service model impacts.

Reexamining and Reimagining the Future of Barangay (Village) Nagbalon: Solidarity Program and Community Based Enterprise Approaches for the Local Governance of the Sustainable Development Goals

The UN SDG for performance measures is already in place that makes the Barangay Solidarity Program build to address one of the issues which are ageism. In today’s changing society, not only changing values are important, but also changing the numbers and mindset of the people. Old persons have seen many changes in their lives, and the changes associated with aging are taken pretty much in stride. This study examines the real happiness of older persons, the expectations that society has for them, how people adapt to future forces in later life. The study employed a mixed-method approach. The successful aging dimensions were reviewed among older persons. A quantitative survey among 200 older persons and exploratory factor analysis was applied to test the structural validity of the instrument. This includes the ten dimensions of happiness namely: food, family, friends, faculty, fitness, financial, faith, future, and fear. In addition, this study explores that the older persons of the future may have no choice but to be self-reliant. The obtained results indicated that the happiness of older persons has significant effects on their faculty, faith, and future singly and in the combination of moderating variables such as age, gender, and pension. The different stakeholders' collaboration, co-production, and co-creation should be realized to meet the challenges on what the people feel, need, and get involved in their resilient bright future and capacity building as part of community-based enterprises. For future undertakings, other researchers may consider government organizations as co-leadership, and co-organizers of every barangay success for aging society, pandemic crisis and disaster preparedness, and economic enterprises at individual and social levels for sustainable development goals of local governance.

Death-in-life: Staging Trauma and Loss in Goliarda Sapienza’s Destino coatto

This essay investigates the representation of traumatic loss in Goliarda Sapienza’s Destino coatto, a collection of short narrative fragments published posthumously in 2002. I explore these texts by focusing on the original representation they offer of temporality in relation to trauma and loss, refracting a condition of death-in-life into temporal and spatial images. In particular, the night, accompanied by images of immobility and enclosed spaces, is a key signifier that represents a protective shield from the destructive force of life. Reflecting the liminal state of a subject in crisis, several texts are set on the threshold between day and night, and between indoor and outdoor spaces. Against the endless re-enactment of trauma, Sapienza stages a quest for immobility, a state of death-in-life that at the same time rejects and protects life.

Creative encounters of a posthuman kind – anthropocentric law, artificial intelligence, and art

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly transformative force in human life. Crucially, its impact is already extending beyond automation of routine tasks and encroaching on creativity – a domain once seen as exclusively human. Hence, this article first surveys the discriminatory and exploitative underpinnings of the anthropocentric thinking that lies beyond attempts at sidelining the creative capacities of AI. Next, four different approaches to creativity and art are analyzed, ultimately conceptualizing art-ness as externally ascribed. Ultimately, the article moves to one way of such ascription – copyrightability – demonstrating the anthropocentric thinking behind attempts to both deny and award copyright protection to AI-generated content. Moreover, it transpires that human authors are under threat whichever of such strategies ends up dominant.

Qualitative Study of Telehealth Delivery of Suicide-Specific Group Treatment "Project Life Force".

Minimal evidence exists for suicide-specific group treatment for high-risk patients offered over telehealth. This qualitative study assessed the acceptability, feasibility, and impact of a telehealth suicide safety planning intervention (SPI) multi-session group. High-risk suicidal Veterans (n = 17) participating in "Project Life Force-telehealth" (PLF-T); a manualized, 10-session SPI video group completed semi-structured qualitative interviews including measures of acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. We also interviewed the PLF-T coordinator and PLF-T group facilitators to identify adaptations to deliver PLF-T and learn about barriers and facilitators to implementation. A summary template and matrix analysis approach was used to analyze qualitative data. Veteran group participants were mostly male (88%), age 50 (SD = 15.6), ethnically diverse, and either divorced or separated (54%). Suicide symptoms upon study entry included past month ideation with methods (100%); and past year aborted, interrupted, or actual suicide attempt (59%). Participant interviews revealed an overall positive endorsement of PLF-telehealth with enhanced suicidal disclosure, and improved ability to manage urges and mitigate loneliness. On scales from 1 to 20, PLF-T was rated as highly acceptable (M = 17.50; SD = 2.92), appropriate (M = 17.25; SD = 3.59), and feasible (M = 18; SD = 2.45) by participants. Adaptations to deliver PLF-T included using a communications coordinator to conduct assertive outreach and engagement, adding a telehealth orientation session, restructuring sessions to review suicide severity, and screen-sharing safety plans to maximize learning. PLF-T enhanced convenience and access without compromising safety. Concerns included privacy and technological limitations including connectivity. Project Life Force-telehealth is acceptable and feasible to deliver via telehealth. This opens the possibility of delivery to hard-to-reach high-risk populations.
