Effectiveness of Self-Guided Virtual Reality–Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Panic Disorder: Randomized Controlled Trial

Background Virtual reality (VR) is as effective a technique as traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and a promising tool for treating panic disorder symptoms because VR exposure can be safer and has better acceptability than in vivo exposure and is more immersive than exposure through imagination. CBT techniques can be delivered more effectively using VR as well. So far, VR has required high-quality devices, but the development of mobile VR technology has improved user availability. At the same time, a well-structured form of VR can be reproduced and used anywhere. This means that VR can be used to provide a self-guided form of treatment and address the high treatment costs of evidence-based therapy and the lack of professional therapists. This study aimed to investigate the potential of self-guided VR as an alternative to high-cost treatment. Objective The main goal of this study was to offer data about the efficacy of a mobile app-based self-led VR CBT in the treatment of panic disorder. Methods A total of 54 subjects with panic disorder were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to either the VR treatment group or waitlist group. The VR treatment was designed to be total 12 sessions for 4 weeks. The VR treatment consists of 4 steps in which patients are gradually exposed to phobic stimuli while learning to cope with panic symptoms in each stage. The effectiveness of treatment was assessed through the Panic Disorder Severity Scale, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, Body Sensations Questionnaire, Albany Panic and Phobia Questionnaire, Anxiety Sensitivity Index, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Korean Inventory of Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, Korean Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, and Perceived Stress Scale. In addition, physiological changes using heart rate variability were evaluated. Results In within-group analyses, the VR treatment group exhibited improvements in panic disorder symptoms, anxiety, and depression after 4 weeks, while the waitlist group did not show any significant improvement. Compared to the waitlist group, the VR treatment group showed significantly greater improvements in the Panic Disorder Severity Scale in both completer analysis and intention-to-treat analysis. Heart rate variability in the VR treatment group showed improvement in normalized high frequency from baseline to postassessment with no significant differences in any outcome measure between groups. Conclusions The self-guided, mobile app-based VR intervention was effective in the treatment of panic symptoms and restoring the autonomic nervous system demonstrating the validity of the use of VR for self-guided treatment. VR treatment can be a cost-effective therapeutic approach. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04985019; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04985019
A Research Methodology for Mitigating Climate Change in the Restoration of Buildings: Rehabilitation Strategies and Low-Impact Prefabrication in the “El Rodezno” Water Mill

New environmental challenges, coupled with the fact that 80% of the residential buildings that will exist in Europe in the year 2050 have already been built, mean that rehabilitation and restoration must be prioritised over new buildings. Construction is one of the largest generators of CO2. Using prefabricated and industrialised products and systems can help to mitigate its harmful effects thanks to the greater control and environmental evaluation that can be carried out on these products from their manufacture until the end of their useful life (LCA). In the county of the Sierra de Cádiz (Andalusia, Spain), there are 85 water mills, many of which are derelict and in disuse, which, due to their location, size, and characteristics, are ideal for rehabilitation and restoration for residential use. Taking the “El Rodezno” mill as a case study, this paper proposes rehabilitation strategies using prefabricated industrialised elements that have a low environmental impact. The methodological discussion takes as its starting point the process of design and testing that Alvar Aalto applied in 1940 and from subsequent studies that have confirmed a research structure based on the project design and the built project with the appropriate field of study and confirmation of the applicable strategies and solutions. To this end, this article is written on the basis of the two main phases of Alvar Aalto’s method, using the same terms that the Danish architect defined: Scientific Observation, for the study of preceding works and projects in light prefabrication and for the analysis of certain construction products and systems that, based on other research, have evaluated their LCA, and Construction Period, for the rehabilitation strategies of the “El Rodezno” mill, considering the studies and analyses of Scientific Observation. For the roof solution, we took as an example the rehabilitation of the roof carried out with the same methodology, construction criteria, and prefabricated products analysed in this article and used in the intervention strategies in “El Rodezno”. The paper concludes with the validity of the methodology applied to test the starting hypotheses that lead to intervention strategies that confirm the environmental and economic advantages of industrialised prefabrication, the importance of the design and synergy that results from combining different construction systems, and technologies that improve the acceptance of prefabrication by the inhabitant and boost the circular economy.
New Electrocatalysts Prepared by Co-Sputter Deposition for the Direct Oxidation of Methanol

Direct methanol oxidation catalysts Pt1-x-Tax (0<x<1) were prepared using co-sputter deposition. Characterization of these thin film catalysts was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Assessment of the methanol oxidation activity of Pt1-x-Tax catalysts were achieved through half-cell experiments. Among all the Pt1-x-Tax catalysts, Pt0.77-Ta0.23 catalyst showed the best electrochemical area specific activity which was comparable to platinum-ruthenium alloy on carbon (PtRu/C) catalysts. Pt1-x-Tax catalysts worked as bi-functional methanol oxidation catalysts. The surface oxides species activated water molecules and hence facilitated the process of removing carbon monoxide from the platinum sites. The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of Pt0.77-Ta0.23 catalyst was tested at 60, 80 and 90 °C. The power density achieved at 90 °C was 82 mW/cm2/mg Pt, which was 1.82 times of PtRu/C catalyst with similar platinum loading.
A MARKOVIAN-BASED SIMULATION MODEL FOR THE EVOLUTION OF EMPLOYEES’ EMOTIONAL STATES DURING AN ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE

This study aims to create a simulation model with which to analyse the spread of emotional states among the employees of an organization. The model takes into account the fact that workers are influenced by their co-workers and supervisors, and simultaneously analyses these interactions. The design of the simulation model follows a standard procedure: problem definition, data collection and configuration of model parameters, conceptual model, testing of the programmed model, and analysis of the results of the simulation. The resulting simulation model makes a novel contribution to the literature by providing social sciences researchers with a simple and efficient method of analysing the evolution and propagation of emotional states during an organizational change. This kind of approach is useful for research involving the simultaneous study of interaction between a number of employees.
IDEOLOGICAL REPRESENTATION THROUGH NOUNS IN THE QUESTION OF RED AND ITS SELF-TRANSLATION AMBA

Literary translation are often faced with problems of equivalence, faithfulness, accuracy, and naturalness. This becomes more complex because the author can choose between many options. Therefore, the author’s choice of style has roles in representing his ideology. This study discusses literary translation by the author herself. This study aims at explaining whether the case of self-translation of the novel The Question of Red (TQOR) and Amba experienced distinction in the lexical category of style markers which led to a potential difference in the self-translator's ideology. A qualitative research method with Fairclough's critical discourse analysis approach was used to reveal the ideological representation. The data sources are an English novel, TQOR, and its Indonesian translation, Amba. The research data are nouns in source text and their translation which represent the self-translator’s ideology. The analysis followed Fairclough’s model of description, interpretation, and explanation. The results show that the ST has more nouns as the lexical style markers than the TT. In both texts, abstract nouns are used more frequently than concrete nouns which offers more affective involvement so that the readers of both texts can feel the experience of the characters rather than giving sensory perceptions to the readers. Keywords: ideological representation, style markers, nouns, self-translation AbstrakPenerjemahan karya sastra selalu dihadapkan pada permasalahan kesepadanan, kesetiaan, keakuratan, dan kealamiahan yang dapat menjadi lebih rumit karena pengarang dapat menggunakan gaya bahasa yang khusus. Penelitian ini membahas kasus penerjemahan karya sastra yang dilakukan oleh pengarangnya sendiri (swaterjemah). Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat apakah kasus swaterjemah novel The Question of Red (TQOR) dan Amba mengalami pergeseran gaya bahasa kategori leksikal yang mengarah pada potensi pergeseran ideologi pengarang-penerjemah. Metode penelitian kualitatif dengan analisis wacana kritis Fairclough digunakan untuk mengungkap ideologi pengarang-penerjemah. Sumber data berupa novel berbahasa Inggris, TQOR, dan terjemahan bahasa Indonesianya, Amba. Data penelitian adalah nomina di dalam TSu dan terjemahannya dalam TSa yang merepresentasikan persepsi ideologis pengarang-penerjemah. Analisis menggunakan model AWK Fairclough, yaitu deskripsi, interpretasi, dan eksplanasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa TSu memiliki lebih banyak pemarkah gaya bahasa kategori leksikal nomina daripada TSa. Pada kedua teks, nomina abstrak lebih banyak digunakan daripada nomina konkret. Dengan demikian pengarang-penerjemah lebih menawarkan keterlibatan afektif agar pembaca turut merasakan pengalaman tokoh-tokohnya daripada memberikan persepsi indrawi.

Anthropometric Analysis of Selected Body Dimensions and Comparison with the Design Approach for Forestry and Agricultural Machine Operators

The aim of the study was to conduct an analysis of selected anthropometric measurements of sitting posture of the adult male population and to compare the results to the workplace of earthmoving machine operators. Research into this problem is important in several respects, particularly the design approaches taken for the current and future machines, and their impact on the health and safety of operators. The anthropometric analysis was based on dimension measurements of the adult male population gathered in the years 2002–2019. The sample consisted of 1702 subjects aged 18 to 25. Thirteen body dimensions were selected and evaluated according to the European Standard of International Organization for Standardization (EN ISO) Nr. 3411. Anthropometric analysis of individual dimensions was evaluated using descriptive statistics and frequency histograms. The results of the analysis were compared to values recommended in the EN ISO 3411 standard. Results confirmed the growing trend of specific human dimensions within the adult population. In eight of the 13 analyzed body dimensions, descriptive statistics showed above-average values in the analyzed population compared to the values given in the standard. The long-term trend commonly observed in the adult population of developed countries was also confirmed.
Prevalence and Associated Anomalies in Gastroschisis and Omphalocele Cases in Villa Clara, Cuba: A 30-Year Series from 1990 to 2019

Background: Gastroschisis and omphalocele are the most common anterior abdominal wall defects. The aims of our study were to describe the prevalence trends of these congenital anterior abdominal wall defects and to determine the frequency and type of associated congenital anomalies. Methods: A retrospective, observational study, with data obtained by the Cuban Registries of Congenital Malformations; was conducted in the Cuban province of Villa Clara from 1990 to 2019. Results: A total of 158 cases were identified, 93 of them (59%) with gastroschisis and 53 with omphalocele. An increasing trend in the prevalence rate per 10,000 births of the studied abdominal wall defects over the thirty studied years, from 3.83 in 1990 to 7.47 in 2019, was observed. The prevalence rate of gastroschisis (per 10,000 births) during the study timeframe was twofold those of omphalocele (4.8 and 2.7 respectively). The majority of gastroschisis cases did not have additional anomalies (80/93 [86%]). There was a statistically significant difference between the proportions of isolated and associated cases. (p< 0.01). Omphalocele cases were more likely to be diagnosed with at least one other congenital defect than those with gastroschisis (25/53 [47%] vs. 12/93 [13%]. Conclusions: Arise in anterior abdominal wall defects prevalence has been noted in recent decades in Villa Clara province. The present study revealed that omphalocele cases were more likely to have other congenital defects, predominantly in musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, besides chromosomal aberrations. In our study a very high rate of termination of pregnancy is observed among abdominal wall defects cases.

Perfectionistic concerns, emotion regulation, and psychological distress: Competing predictors and indirect effects

ABSTRACT There is compelling research to suggest that individuals high in perfectionistic concerns are at risk for psychological distress because they fail to effectively regulate their emotions. From a theoretical perspective, there may be multiple forms of maladaptive emotion regulation operating in the context of perfectionistic concerns, but empirical studies have generally examined only one or two of these at a time. Our research tested a diverse set of emotion-regulation factors that predict distress while accounting for perfectionistic concerns, and it examined the indirect effects between perfectionistic concerns and distress via these emotion-regulation factors. College students (N = 270) completed multiple measures of perfectionistic concerns, distress, and emotion regulation via a web-based survey. Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) suggested three emotion-regulation factors that we labeled regulation difficulties, emotional avoidance, and rumination. A latent-variable model indicated that perfectionistic concerns predicted distress, and a separate model revealed that regulation difficulties, emotional avoidance, and rumination predicted distress. In a combined model, only perfectionistic concerns and rumination significantly predicted distress; moreover, only the indirect effect through rumination was significant. Our findings affirm the potential role of rumination as a key aspect of emotion regulation in the study of perfectionistic concerns.
Advancing the understanding of factors that influence client preferences for race and gender matching in psychotherapy

ABSTRACT Although clients sometimes prefer having a counselor of their same race or gender, research generally does not show that racial/gender matching improves outcomes. Two studies explored matching preferences as a function of being informed (or not) about the lack of evidence for its efficacy, and the role of two individual difference variables, systemizing and strength of cultural identification. Studies 1 (n = 129) and 2 (n = 172) investigated preferences for racial and gender matching, respectively. Participants were randomly assigned to be “Informed” that research shows matching does not lead to superior outcomes, or “Uninformed. ” Using a discounting paradigm, they indicated their preference between more effective, unmatched therapy, or less effective, matched therapy; then between unmatched in-person therapy or matched teletherapy. Across studies, being informed did not affect preferences, and participants preferred unmatched in-person treatment to matched teletherapy. Lower systemizing and stronger identification with a culture other than White/European American were associated with stronger race/gender matching preferences. Black/African American participants had higher racial matching preferences compared to others, and Asian/Asian American participants (largely male) had higher gender matching preferences. This suggests clients may disregard information about the effectiveness of race/gender matching on outcomes, and they value in-person treatment over teletherapy.
The impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on air pollution from energy consumption: diverse evidence from China

ABSTRACT Based on panel data of 31 provincial capital cities in the country from January 21 to November 20, 2020, this research empirically analyzes the impacts of daily newly confirmed cases and daily new deaths from COVID-19 on PM10, PM2.5, SO2, CO, and NO2 emissions form green energy consumption by using the method of System Generalized Moments (SYS-GMM). We conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic has an inhibitory effect on all types of emissions, in that a greater number of confirmed cases and deaths brings about more stringent anti-epidemic policies, fewer emissions, and better air quality in China. Moreover, we use the methods of sample segmentation, cross-sectional regression, and pollutant emissions of the top three cities in terms of GDP to test their robustness. Overall, our evidence advances the debate over air quality after COVID-19, and that evidence from China provides beneficial experiences that correlate to its provincial data.
Feeding Habits of Predatory Thermophilic Fish Species and Species with Subtropical Affinity from Recently Extended Distributional Range in Northeast Adriatic Sea, Croatia

The study investigates feeding habits of thermophilic species and species with subtropical affinity in the fishing catch in the Bay of Medulin (northeastern Adriatic Sea), and contributes to the knowledge about their presence in recently extended distributional range. In our methodology, the presence of the Seriola dumerili, Sphyraena sphyraena, Lichia amia, Coryphaena hippurus, Caranx crysos, Pomatomus saltatrix, and incidence of Trachinotus ovatus is recorded. A total of 220 specimens are captured during 2017, 2018 and 2019. A dietary assessment is performed, and the index of relative importance IRI was calculated for each prey category. Diet overlap is calculated using Schoener’s index, based on IRI. The principal diet of C. hippurus included Sardina pilchardus and Loligo vulgaris. Pomatomus saltatrix consumed species from the Sparidae family and T. ovatus crustaceans from the Mysidacea family. Different species from genus Atherina are represented important foods for L. amia, S. dumerili and S. sphyraena. Diets of significant importance for L. amia included fishes from the family Sparidae, for S. sphyraena from the Carangidae family, and S. dumerili from the Clupeidae and Muliidae families. Our analysis of diet overlap is based on IRI suggests no diet overlap between analysed fish species from Medulin Bay, and that these species utilise differing trophic niches.
