Unmet health care and health-related social needs of laundromat users
To estimate the prevalence of unmet health care and health-related social needs (HRSNs) among laundromat users and examine differences by health insurance coverage.
Cross-sectional observational study.
We collected a survey from participants in a pilot intervention conducted in 14 Pennsylvania laundromats between September and December 2023. The measures included health insurance coverage, unmet health care needs, and unmet HRSNs. Descriptive analyses and linear probability regression models with laundromat fixed effects were used to estimate the overall prevalence of unmet needs and explore subgroup differences.
Among the 1995 sample members, approximately half (52.9%) had Medicaid coverage, 21.7% had private coverage, 14.5% were uninsured, 5.4% had Medicare, and 5.5% were dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid. The prevalence of having any unmet HRSN was higher than having any unmet health care need (54.3% vs 12.3%). Across unmet need measures, Medicaid sample members had 1.5 to 5 times higher levels relative to the privately insured. Differences by insurance coverage remained in fixed-effects analyses that limited comparisons to laundromat users at the same location.
Laundromat-based outreach is likely most promising for Medicaid-serving stakeholders because Medicaid enrollees are disproportionately represented among laundromat users and have disproportionately high levels of unmet needs.

Multilayer Graphtriyne Membranes for Separation and Storage of CO2: Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Post-Combustion Model Mixtures
The ability to remove carbon dioxide from gaseous mixtures is a necessary step toward the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. As a contribution to this field of research, we performed a molecular dynamics study assessing the separation and adsorption properties of multi-layered graphtriyne membranes on gaseous mixtures of CO2, N2, and H2O. These mixtures closely resemble post-combustion gaseous products and are, therefore, suitable prototypes with which to model possible technological applications in the field of CO2 removal methodologies. The molecular dynamics simulations rely on a fairly accurate description of involved force fields, providing reliable predictions of selectivity and adsorption coefficients. The characterization of the interplay between molecules and membrane structure also permitted us to elucidate the adsorption and crossing processes at an atomistic level of detail. The work is intended as a continuation and a strong enhancement of the modeling research and characterization of such materials as molecular sieves for CO2 storage and removal.

Multilayer Graphtriyne Membranes for Separation and Storage of COsub.2: Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Post-Combustion Model Mixtures
The ability to remove carbon dioxide from gaseous mixtures is a necessary step toward the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. As a contribution to this field of research, we performed a molecular dynamics study assessing the separation and adsorption properties of multi-layered graphtriyne membranes on gaseous mixtures of CO[sub.2], N[sub.2], and H[sub.2]O. These mixtures closely resemble post-combustion gaseous products and are, therefore, suitable prototypes with which to model possible technological applications in the field of CO[sub.2] removal methodologies. The molecular dynamics simulations rely on a fairly accurate description of involved force fields, providing reliable predictions of selectivity and adsorption coefficients. The characterization of the interplay between molecules and membrane structure also permitted us to elucidate the adsorption and crossing processes at an atomistic level of detail. The work is intended as a continuation and a strong enhancement of the modeling research and characterization of such materials as molecular sieves for CO[sub.2] storage and removal.

Resilience, self-efficacy and political participation
The large gap in political participation between well-educated and wealthy citizens on the one hand and less educated and poorer citizens, on the other hand, has in recent years gained new attention. Several authors argue that unequal participation leads to unequal political representation and responsiveness and results in policy decisions that are tilted against the interests of disadvantaged groups, thus further increasing inequality. This paper takes a different starting point by turning the old question why people do not participate in politics around and asking why people participate. We hypothesize that enduring engagement with politics requires individuals to be resilient in the face of frustration and to possess strong, perhaps even delusional, efficacy beliefs. Using data from the German GESIS Panel we demonstrate positive correlations between individual resilience, internal and external efficacy, and political participation. We conclude by pointing to the possibility that resilience and efficacy beliefs help privileged groups to overcome collective action problems to achieve disproportionate influence on political decisions and point to avenues for further research.
