Objective: To examine the overlap between autistic traits and other behavioural problems in a general population sample, and explore whether this overlap is of genetic or environmental origin. Method: Youth Self Report (YSR) data were collected in a general population sample of 424 twin pairs at 8 years of age, and their non-twin siblings. In 97 of these families self-report ratings on the Au...

We demonstrate direct transport between two opposing sets of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) subgap states realized in a double quantum dot. This sub-gap relies on intrinsic quasiparticle relaxation, but the tunability device allows us to explore also an additional relaxation mechanism based charge transferring Andreev reflections. The transition these regimes is identified experiment as marked gate-ind...

This study explored the relations between self-conscious emotions, personality traits, and anxiety disorders symptoms in non-clinical youths. One-hundred-and-eighteen adolescents aged 12-15 years completed the brief shame and guilt questionnaire for children (BSGQ-C) and items of the youth self-report (YSR) to measure shame and guilt, the big five personality questionnaire for children, and the...

BACKGROUND Whereas prevalence of suicidal expressions among young people is fairly similar in different countries, less is known about associated risk factors. This study compares young people in Nicaragua and Cambodia to examine if the pattern of association between mental health problems and suicidal expressions differs. METHODS 368 and 316 secondary school students, from each country respe...

The psychometric properties of an adolescent mental health outcome instrument (Youth Outcome Questionnaire Self-Report version [Y-OQ-SR]) were examined. Participants were 206 adolescents (ages 12-18; mean age=15). The Y-OQ-SR was evaluated in terms of its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity. Criterion measures included the Behavior Assessment System for Childr...

A magnetic impurity on a superconducting substrate induces in-gap Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound states, whose intricate spatial structure crucially influences the possibilities of engineering collective states. By means saddle-point approximation, we study scattering processes giving rise to YSR states in gapped, two-dimensional superconductors. Further, develop theory, which relates through sim...

A magnetic impurity on a superconductor induces Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound states, detected by tunneling spectroscopy as long-lived quasiparticle excitations inside the superconducting gap. Coupled YSR states constitute basic elements to engineer artificial but their substrate-mediated interactions are generally weak. In this paper, we report that intramolecular (Hund's like) exchange produce...

The main goal of this study was to standardize the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Teacher Report Form (TRF) and Youth Self Report (YSR) questionnaire problem scales on a normative random sample of children and adolescents (N=3309) aged 7 to 18 throughout Croatia. The second goal was to compare boys-girls problem scales data and CBCL-TRF-YSR differences in our sample. The mean value of CBCL sc...

We have implemented the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equation in a screened Korringa-Kohn- Rostoker (KKR) method for solving, self-consistently, superconducting state 3d crystals including substitutional impurities. In this report we extend theoretical framework to allow collinear magnetism and apply it fcc Pb with magnetic presence of impurities, there is pair-breaking effect that results sup-ga...

The Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) for school-age children includes three instruments for assessing emotional and/or behavioral problems: Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), completed by parents, Youth Self-Report (YSR), completed by adolescents and Teacher's Report Form (TRF), completed by teachers. This review article gives detailed information on the development of the...
