Cognitive emotion regulation in the prediction of depression, anxiety, stress, and anger

Cognitive coping processes have long been implicated in the experience and expression of emotion. Recently, a new instrument, the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ; Garnefski, Kraaij, & Spinhoven, 2001), was developed to measure nine different cognitive coping strategies people often use when faced with a negative event: self-blame, other blame, rumination, catastrophizing, acceptance, putting into perspective, positive refocus, refocus on planning, and positive reappraisal. Although there is substantial research exploring the relationships between these processes and depression, the research on other negative emotions is much sparser. This study addresses this limitation by exploring the relationships between the CERQ and depression, anxiety, stress, and anger. Results supported the convergent and discriminant validity of the CERQ and demonstrated that, independent of respondent gender, self-blame, rumination, catastrophizing, and positive reappraisal were among the most valuable predictors of negative emotions. 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Safety in human-robot collaborative manufacturing environments: Metrics and control

New paradigms in industrial robotics no longer require physical separation between robotic manipulators and humans. Moreover, in order to optimize production, humans and robots are expected to collaborate to some extent. In this scenario, involving a shared environment between humans and robots, common motion generation algorithms might turn out to be inadequate for this purpose. This paper proposes a kinematic control strategy which enforces safety, while maintaining the maximum level of productivity of the robot. The resulting motion of the (possibly redundant) robot is obtained as an output of an optimization-based real-time algorithm in which safety is regarded as a hard constraint to be satisfied. The methodology is experimentally validated on a dual-arm concept robot with 7-DOF per arm performing a manipulation task.
The HARPS search for Earth-like planets in the habitable zone - I. Very low-mass planets around HD 20794, HD 85512, and HD 192310

In 2009 we started an intense radial-velocity monitoring of a few nearby, slowly-rotating and quiet solar-type stars within the dedicated HARPS-Upgrade GTO program. The goal of this campaign is to gather very-precise radial-velocity data with high cadence and continuity to detect tiny signatures of very-low-mass stars that are potentially present in the habitable zone of their parent stars. Ten stars were selected among the most stable stars of the original HARPS high-precision program that are uniformly spread in hour angle, such that three to four of them are observable at any time of the year. For each star we recorded 50 data points spread over the observing season. The data points consist of three nightly observations with a total integration time of 10 minutes each and are separated by two hours. This is an observational strategy adopted to minimize stellar pulsation and granulation noise. We present the first results of this ambitious program. The radial-velocity data and the orbital parameters of five new and one confirmed low-mass planets around the stars HD 20794, HD 85512, and HD 192310 are reported and discussed, among which is a system of three super-Earths and one that harbors a 3.6 M⊕-planet at the inner edge of the habitable zone. This result already confirms previous indications that low-mass planets seem to be very frequent around solar-type stars and that this may occur with a frequency higher than 30%.
A Two-Stage Iterative Decoding of LDPC Codes for Lowering Error Floors

In iterative decoding of LDPC codes, trapping sets often lead to high error floors. In this work, we propose a two-stage iterative decoding to break trapping sets. Simulation results show that the error floor performance can be significantly improved with this decoding scheme.
State equity ownership and firm market performance: evidence from China's newly privatized firms

This research examines the relation between state equity ownership and firm market performance for China’s newly privatized firms in 1994 (164 firms), 1995 (175 firms), and 1996 (252 firms). The overall results show that state ownership has a negative effect on firm value. Tobin’s Q is convex with respect to state ownership, such that newly privatized firms gained capital and higher market values, with their increased size paying off in terms of stock returns. The effect of international ownership is unpredictable and domestic institutional ownership does not appear to improve performance, possibly because the latter lack proper incentives to positively influence the firm’s management. The results further show that firm performance is not an important determinant of state ownership, but rather, firm size and its strategic industry status are the main determinants of the state’s equity ownership in China’s newly privatized firms.

Comparison of students' performance in and satisfaction with a clinical pharmacokinetics course delivered live and by interactive videoconferencing.

OBJECTIVES
To compare students' performance in and course evaluations for a clinical pharmacokinetics course taught in a traditional classroom setting, and for the same course taught via interactive videoconferencing.


METHODS
The course was taught in a traditional classroom setting to 38 students, and in asynchronous sessions via interactive videoconferencing to 75 students at a distant site. A course evaluation was administered to each group at the conclusion of the courses.


RESULTS
The students in the live classroom setting had a higher mean final course grade of 90.7% compared to the mean final course grade (87.8%) of students in the interactive videoconferencing group (P = 0.024). The mean evaluation score for students in the videoconferencing class were higher than for students in the live classroom setting (4.73 vs. 4.58; P < 0.001).


CONCLUSIONS
Students in both the classroom setting and interactive videoconferencing setting performed well and had a high overall perception of the course.
A definition of the Ponzano–Regge quantum gravity model in terms of surfacesa)

We show that the partition function of the Ponzano–Regge quantum gravity model can be written as a sum over surfaces in a (2+1)‐dimensional space–time. We suggest a geometrical meaning, in terms of surfaces, for the (regulated) divergences that appear in the partition function.
Estimation of aerobic fitness from 20-m multistage shuttle run test performance.

BACKGROUND
Aerobic fitness (VO(2)max) is a key component of youth fitness testing. Criterion-referenced (CR) assessments are used in FITNESSGRAM(®) to assess health risk.


PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to develop and cross-validate regression models to estimate VO(2)max from Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) 20-m shuttle run performance in boys and girls aged 10-16 years. Several previously published PACER models were also cross-validated. A secondary purpose was to examine the CR validity of the models.


METHODS
PACER performance and VO(2)max were assessed in a sample of 244 participants. The sample was randomly split into validation (n=174) and cross-validation (n=70) samples. The validation sample was used to develop the regression models to estimate VO(2)max from PACER, BMI, gender, and age. CR validity was evaluated by comparing classification of the prediction models with classification by the criterion of measured VO(2)max.


RESULTS
For the Quadratic Model, the multiple correlation between measured and estimated VO(2)max was 0.75, and the SE of estimate (SEE) was 6.17 mL/kg/min. Similar accuracy was found for Linear Model 2 (R=0.74; SEE=6.29 mL/kg/min). Accuracy of these models was confirmed on the cross-validation and total samples. Cross-validation demonstrated that the Quadratic Model and Linear Model 2 were slightly more accurate than previous PACER models. Evidence of CR validity for the newly developed models was of moderate levels.


CONCLUSIONS
The Quadratic Model and Linear Model 2 provide valid estimates of VO(2)max and compare favorably to previous models. The CR validity evidence for the Quadratic Model and Linear Models developed in this study was slightly better than for the other models examined.
A modified UWB antipodal Vivaldi antenna with improved radiation characteristics

In this paper, a modified antipodal Vivaldi antenna is presented for UWB applications. To extend the low-end bandwidth limitation and improve the radiation characteristics in the lower frequencies, a novel elliptical slot edge (ESE) structure is employed. The addition of ESE structure helps the antenna lower the low-end operating frequency by 570 MHz with the dimension unaltered. In addition, a pair of planar directors is used to improve the value of gains at high frequency bands. The proposed antenna achieves a -10 dB |S11| with bandwidth of 1.69-11 GHz and demonstrates good unidirectional radiation patterns over the operating frequency band with peak gain values in the range of 4.13-11.48 dBi.

Abstract—This paper shows in detail the mathematical model of direct and inverse kinematics for a robot manipulator (welding type) with four degrees of freedom. Using the D-H parameters, screw theory, numerical, geometric and interpolation methods, the theoretical and practical values of the position of robot were determined using an optimized algorithm for inverse kinematics obtaining the values of the particular joints in order to determine the virtual paths in a relatively short time.
The "Trauma Signature:" understanding the psychological consequences of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

The 2010 Haiti earthquake was one of the most catastrophic episodes in history, leaving 5% of the nation's population killed or injured, and 19% internally displaced. The distinctive combination of earthquake hazards and vulnerabilities, extreme loss of life, and paralyzing damage to infrastructure, predicts population-wide psychological distress, debilitating psychopathology, and pervasive traumatic grief. However, mental health was not referenced in the national recovery plan. The limited MHPSS services provided in the first eight months generally lacked coordination and empirical basis.There is a need to customize and coordinate disaster mental health assessments, interventions, and prevention efforts around the novel stressors and consequences of each traumatic event. An analysis of the key features of the 2010 Haiti earthquake was conducted, defining its "Trauma Signature" based on a synthesis of early disaster situation reports to identify the unique assortment of risk factors for post-disaster mental health consequences. This assessment suggests that multiple psychological risk factors were prominent features of the earthquake in Haiti. For rapid-onset disasters, Trauma Signature (TSIG) analysis can be performed during the post-impact/pre-deployment phase to target the MHPSS response in a manner that is evidence-based and tailored to the event-specific exposures and experiences of disaster survivors. Formalization of tools to perform TSIG analysis is needed to enhance the timeliness and accuracy of these assessments and to extend this approach to human-generated disasters and humanitarian crises.
Designing routines: On the folly of designing artifacts, while hoping for patterns of action

Using the example of a failed software implementation, we discuss the role of artifacts in shaping organizational routines. We argue that artifact-centered assumptions about design are not well suited to designing organizational routines, which are generative systems that produce recognizable, repetitive patterns of interdependent actions, carried out by multiple actors. Artifact-centered assumptions about design not only reinforce a widespread misunderstanding of routines as things, they implicitly embody a rather strong form of technological determinism. As an alternative perspective, we discuss the use of narrative networks as a way to conceptualize the role of human and non-human actants, and to represent the variable patterns of action that are characteristic of ‘‘live” routines. Using this perspective, we conclude with some suggestions on how to design organizational routines that are more consistent with their nature as generative systems. 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Organizing Alignment: A Case of Bridge-Building

The project of building a bridge is a canonical example of what John Law (1987) has termed ‘heterogeneous engineering’, involving the arrangement of human and nonhuman elements into a stable artifact. This paper reports ethnographic research on the work of civil engineers engaged in designing a bridge scheduled for completion by the year 2004. My emphasis is on a view of bridge-building as persuasive performances that both rely upon and reflexively constitute the elements to be aligned. The work of designing a bridge, on this view, is as much a matter of storytelling as of analysis, calculation, and work with concrete and steel.
Understanding Persistent Food Insecurity: A Paradox of Place and Circumstance

Survey data from a USDA-funded multi-state longitudinal project revealed a paradox where rural low-income families from states considered prosperous were persistently more food insecure than similar families from less prosperous states. An examination of quantitative and qualitative data found that families in the food insecure states were more likely to experience greater material hardship and incur greater housing costs than families in the food secure states. Families in the food insecure states, however, did not have lower per capita median incomes or lower life satisfaction than those in the food secure states. A wide range of strategies to cope with food insecurity reported by families in both food insecure and food secure states was examined using the Family Ecological Systems Theory. Families in the food insecure states used several risky consumption reduction strategies such as curbing their appetite and using triage. Families in the food secure states, on the other hand, employed positive techniques involving their human capital.
Exposure to house dust phthalates in relation to asthma and allergies in both children and adults.

Although an association between exposure to phthalates in house dust and childhood asthma or allergies has been reported in recent years, there have been no reports of these associations focusing on both adults and children. We aimed to investigate the relationships between phthalate levels in Japanese dwellings and the prevalence of asthma and allergies in both children and adult inhabitants in a cross-sectional study. The levels of seven phthalates in floor dust and multi-surface dust in 156 single-family homes were measured. According to a self-reported questionnaire, the prevalence of bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and atopic dermatitis in the 2 years preceding the study was 4.7%, 18.6%, 7.6%, and 10.3%, respectively. After evaluating the interaction effects of age and exposure categories with generalized liner mixed models, interaction effects were obtained for DiNP and bronchial asthma in adults (Pinteraction=0.028) and for DMP and allergic rhinitis in children (Pinteraction=0.015). Although not statistically significant, children had higher ORs of allergic rhinitis for DiNP, allergic conjunctivitis for DEHP, and atopic dermatitis for DiBP and BBzP than adults, and liner associations were observed (Ptrend<0.05). On the other hand, adults had a higher OR for atopic dermatitis and DEHP compared to children. No significant associations were found in phthalates levels collected from multi-surfaces. This study suggests that the levels of DMP, DEHP, DiBP, and BBzP in floor dust were associated with the prevalence of allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and atopic dermatitis in children, and children are more vulnerable to phthalate exposure via household floor dust than are adults. The results from this study were shown by cross-sectional nature of the analyses and elaborate assessments for metabolism of phthalates were not considered. Further studies are needed to advance our understanding of phthalate toxicity.
A randomized controlled trial of rivastigmine for chronic sequels of traumatic brain injury-what it showed and taught?

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of rivastigmine for chronic sequels of traumatic brain injury (TBI).


RESEARCH DESIGN
Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover trial.


METHODS AND PROCEDURES
Of 772 outpatients with TBI treated during 1993-2002, all eligible patients were contacted and 102 patients volunteered. They were randomized to receive either rivastigmine (Exelon) or placebo. The study included two periods with titration to the highest tolerated or maximum dose (12 mg rivastigmine daily) and a maintenance period of 8 weeks, separated by a 4-week washout. Computerized neuropsychological testing and standardized clinical interviews were used to assess the outcome.


MAIN OUTCOMES AND RESULTS
Sixty-nine patients completed the study and 17 withdrew because of adverse effects. In two measures of computerized testing (subtraction test, p = 0.034 and correct answers in the 10-15 minute vigilance test, p = 0.048) rivastigmine was better than placebo. The clinical interviews did not yield significant results. After the study, 45% of patients considered rivastigmine beneficial compared to 20% with placebo.


CONCLUSIONS
A weak trend favouring rivastigmine for chronic symptoms of TBI was observed. The clinical significance of the results and the problems in conducting drug trials for chronic TBI symptoms are discussed.
Outpatient overnight glucose control with dual-hormone artificial pancreas, single-hormone artificial pancreas, or conventional insulin pump therapy in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: an open-label, randomised controlled trial.

BACKGROUND
Additional benefits of the dual-hormone (insulin and glucagon) artificial pancreas compared with the single-hormone (insulin alone) artificial pancreas have not been assessed in young people in outpatient unrestricted conditions. We evaluated the efficacy of three systems for nocturnal glucose control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.


METHODS
We did a randomised, three-way, crossover trial in children aged 9-17 years with type 1 diabetes attending a diabetes camp in Canada. With use of sealed envelopes, children were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio with blocks of six to different sequences of the three interventions (single-hormone artificial pancreas, dual-hormone artificial pancreas, and conventional continuous subcutaneous insulin pump therapy). Each intervention was applied for 3 consecutive nights. Participants, study staff, and endpoint assessors were not masked. The primary outcome was the percentage of time spent with glucose concentrations lower than 4·0 mmol/L from 2300 h to 0700 h. Analysis was by intention to treat. A p value of less than 0·0167 was regarded as significant. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02189694.


FINDINGS
Between June 30, 2014, and Aug 9, 2014, we enrolled 33 children of mean age 13·3 years (SD 2·3; range 9-17). The time spent at a glucose concentration lower than 4·0 mmol/L was median 0% (IQR 0·0-2·4) during nights with the dual-hormone artificial pancreas, 3·1% (0·0-6·9) during nights with the single-hormone artificial pancreas (p=0·032), and 3·4% (0-11·0) during nights with conventional pump therapy (p=0·0048 compared with dual-hormone artificial pancreas and p=0·32 compared with single-hormone artificial pancreas). 15 hypoglycaemic events (<3·1 mmol/L for 20 min measured by sensor then confirmed with capillary glucose <4·0 mmol/L) were noted during nights with conventional pump therapy compared with four events with the single-hormone system and no events with the dual-hormone system. None of the assessed outcomes varied with the order in which children and young adults were assigned interventions.


INTERPRETATION
The dual-hormone artificial pancreas could improve nocturnal glucose control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Longer and larger outpatient studies are now needed.

A Dynamic Window Neural Network for CCG Supertagging

Combinatory Category Grammar (CCG) supertagging is a task to assign lexical categories to each word in a sentence. Almost all previous methods use fixed context window sizes to encode input tokens. However, it is obvious that different tags usually rely on different context window sizes. This motivates us to build a supertagger with a dynamic window approach, which can be treated as an attention mechanism on the local contexts. We find that applying dropout on the dynamic filters is superior to the regular dropout on word embeddings. We use this approach to demonstrate the state-ofthe-art CCG supertagging performance on the standard test set. Introduction Combinatory Category Grammar (CCG) provides a connection between syntax and semantics of natural language. The syntax can be specified by derivations of the lexicon based on the combinatory rules, and the semantics can be recovered from a set of predicate-argument relations. CCG provides an elegant solution for a wide range of semantic analysis, such as semantic parsing (Zettlemoyer and Collins 2007; Kwiatkowski et al. 2010; 2011; Artzi, Lee, and Zettlemoyer 2015), semantic representations (Bos et al. 2004; Bos 2005; 2008; Lewis and Steedman 2013), and semantic compositions, all of which heavily depend on the supertagging and parsing performance. All these motivate us to build a more accurate CCG supertagger. CCG supertagging is the task to predict the lexical categories for each word in a sentence. Existing algorithms on CCG supertagging range from point estimation (Clark and Curran 2007; Lewis and Steedman 2014) to sequential estimation (Xu, Auli, and Clark 2015; Lewis, Lee, and Zettlemoyer 2016; Vaswani et al. 2016), which predict the most probable supertag of the current word according to the context in a fixed size window. This fixed size window assumption is too strong to generalize. We argue this from two perspectives. One perspective comes from the inputs. For a particular word, the number of its categories may vary from 1 to 130 in CCGBank 02-21 (Hockenmaier and Steedman 2007). We ∗Corresponding author.
