Positive and negative metacognitions about alcohol use among university students: Psychometric properties of the PAMS and NAMS French versions

Metacognitions about the positive and negative effects of alcohol use have been associated with various patterns of drinking. The aim of the present study was to validate French versions of the Positive Alcohol Metacognitions Scale (PAMS) and the Negative Alcohol Metacognitions Scale (NAMS) developed by Spada and Wells (2008, Addict. Behav. 33, 515) and to investigate the relationship between metacognitions and patterns of alcohol use among university students.Responses of 1600 university students who participated in an internet survey-based study on alcohol use were submitted to confirmatory (N=800, mean age 20.40 years, 45.50% male) and exploratory (N=800, mean age 20.34 years, 45.38% male) factor analyses in two separate samples. Alcohol use, binge drinking and mood were also assessed.In line with the original versions of the scales, results provided support for a two-factor structure of the French PAMS and NAMS. Both scales revealed adequate internal reliability. Good temporal stability was found for the two factors of the NAMS, whereas one factor of the PAMS showed weakness across time. Predictive validity revealed that negative alcohol metacognitions about the uncontrollability of alcohol use were found to be consistently associated with alcohol use and binge drinking, whereas positive metacognitions about alcohol use were found to be differentially associated with alcohol use and binge drinking.The French versions of the PAMS and NAMS exhibited suitable psychometric properties. This study also emphasized the role of metacognitions about alcohol use in drinking behaviour among university students.
The young christian workers movement and the radicalization of social conflict in mediterranean europe: france, italy and spain (1963-1978)

The Work-Christ project intends to reconstruct the influence of religious radicalisation on the social conflict in Mediterranean European countries, with particular attention paid to the cases in France, Spain and Italy during the sixties and seventies. The main purpose of this research is to study the relationship between religion and politics in the period following the Second Vatican Council, via the study of the ""Young Christian Workers Movement"", better known by the French name Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne. This is a field of research which is totally unexplored, both regarding the interactions among the different national offshoots of the movement and the transnational reality represented by the coordinating authority of the Jeunesse Ouvrière catholique internationale. The research will also take into account the network constituted by the Mouvement Mondial des Travailleurs Chrétiens (MMTC) to which the specialized branches of the working class Catholic Action organisations referred to. From the late sixties, the Christian workers’ associations became the terminal point of the tensions, ferment and expectations that arose from the Second Vatican Council. In addition, these associations played an essential role in the processes of transition and consolidation of democracy in the three nations taken into consideration. For these reasons, the “Young Christian Workers Movement” appears to be a case study of the utmost importance for the role played on a European scale as a workshop for the building of a radicalized young identity challenging societal norms. Work-Christ has 3 key objectives: 1. through research based on archive sources, address the innovative subject of international Christian workers’ youth associations; 2. adopt a multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspective for studying religious radicalisation; 3. study the mobilisation of the Christian workers associations at transnational level, reconstructing the phases, the goals and the contents.
Highlighting Artisanal Manufacturing, cuLture and Eco Tourism

HAMLET project addresses the valorisation of historical centres, villages and small towns through the sustainable development of tourist and economic sector, highlighting the environmental and cultural assets of the territories selected. By developing a common strategy of tourism management, the project aims to boost the cooperation and networking between Italy, Albania and Montenegro, bringing up to the same standard the level of products and services offered, reunited under a unique cross-border brand identity, able to identify Adriatic area peculiarities. At the same time, the introduction of the selected areas into the tourist circuit will boost the local economy, with positive effects of the employment and will halt the current social impoverishment. Several stakeholders will benefit from the cultural and environmental mapping: the public authorities will base protection and valorisation measures on more robust data; the cultural and environmental associations will become actively involved in project implementation; the citizens themselves will increase their awareness on the local heritage and on the importance of its preservation. The tourists will also benefit of the cross-border branding strategy (as the unique logo associated with the project events and locations will be synonymous with quality tourism), thanks to which they will be able to easily know and deepen the new diversified tourist offer. Lastly, the local craft SMEs will benefit from the increased tourist affluence and the services specifically designed in their support. Although each of the territory involved is characterized by local environmental and cultural peculiarities, a cross-border approach is strongly required in order to endow these players with common instruments for the tourist management and marketing, as well as similar infrastructures to facilitate the access to the tourist offer itself.
Cooperation of research infrastructures to address global challenges in the environment field

The COOP+ project is motivated by the interest of several Research Infrastructures in Europe to benefit from extending international collaboration with other Research Infrastructures in their areas of expertise at global, worldwide level.The general goal of COOP+ is to strengthen the links and coordination of the ESFRI Research Infrastructures related to marine science, Arctic research and biodiversity with international counterparts and
to leverage international scientfic cooperation and data exchange with non-EU countries aiming at creating a
common ground for the development of a global network of research infrastructures that are able to address Global environmental challenges. The project will be the central hub for worldwide collaboration of the RIs involved, coordinating all their common activities and fostering international agreements. As the EC communication emphasized, Global Challenges are very important drivers for research and innovation, and COOP+ will focus on them, and, according to the experience in COOPEUS (FP7), will try to reinforce the cross-disciplinary view, adding participants for other regions. COOP+ will use the methodology of case studies to assess the cooperation capabilities of international RIs, and to learn how to cope with global environmental challenges.This cross-disciplinary and global collaboration among Research Infrastructures tha is required to address these challenges implies a significant effort on common practices including access and sharing of data. COOP+ will promote an open coordination framework
for Global Cooperation, with initial participation from relevant RI from EU, US, Canada, Australia and Brazil, and providing support to new agreements on reciprocal use or access to RI, openness, joint development of new resources including co-financing.
Cruise Missile Penaid Nonproliferation: Hindering the Spread of Countermeasures Against Cruise Missile Defenses

Abstract : This research describes an approach to hindering the spread of countermeasures against cruise missile defenses. (Such countermeasures, when incorporated in an attacker s missile or employed in conjunction with such a missile, are called penetration aids, or penaids.) This approach involved compiling an unclassified list of penaid-relevant items that might be subject to internationally agreed-upon export controls. The list is designed to fit into the export-control structure of the current international policy against the proliferation of missiles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction. This policy, the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), sets rules agreed to by 34 governments for restricting the export of items, listed in a technical annex. This report recommends controls on 18 penaid-relevant items and subitems. Because cruise missile penaids can have applications either not restricted by the MTCR (e.g., for manned aircraft) or subject only to the regime s less rigorous controls (e.g., for relatively small cruise missiles), the report recommends that the 18 items be subject to case-by-case export reviews under MTCR procedures. To be effective, these less rigorous controls will require energetic implementation, and cooperation by Russia and China will be critical.

Permanent grasslands in Europe: Land use change and intensification decrease their multifunctionality

Permanent grasslands cover 34% of the European Union’s agricultural area and are vital for a wide variety of ecosystem services essential for our society. Over recent decades, the permanent grassland area has declined and land use change continues to threaten its extent. Simultaneously, the management intensity of permanent grasslands increased. We performed a systematic literature review on the multifunctionality of permanent grasslands in Europe, examining the effects of land use and management on 19 grassland ecosystem service indicators. Based on the evidence in 696 out of 70,456 screened papers, published since 1980, we found that both land use change and intensification of management decreased multifunctionality. In particular, preventing conversion of permanent grasslands to croplands secured the delivery of multiple ecosystem services. A lower management intensity was associated with benefits for biodiversity, climate regulation and water purification, but impacted the provision of high-quality animal feed. Increasing the number of species in the sward enhanced multifunctionality of permanent grassland without significant trade-offs such as losses in production. Our review covered many aspects of land use, management and ecosystem services, but we also identified areas with no or only few studies. The most prominent gaps were related to comparisons between permanent and temporary grasslands, and effects of management practices on the provision of cultural values, and on erosion and flood control. We suggest that, despite apparent changes in human dietary preferences, the protection of permanent grasslands in Europe must be prioritised. At the same time, considering the need to reduce ruminant livestock’s contribution to climate change, the time seems ripe to increase support for low-intensity grassland management to optimise the provision of essential ecosystem services from Europe’s permanent grasslands.
The critical flaw in the implementation of GPS tracking system in express bus industry

Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) in Malaysia has made it mandatory that GPS tracking systems installed in every express buses since 2008 so that the speed can be monitored and recorded based on real-time. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of the system is under question when Malaysia was startled by a series of bus accidents each killed close to 10 lives while several others were seriously injured. This study is undertaken to identify the critical flaw in the implementation of the GPS monitoring system and propose a way to improve the existing monitoring system. Result from the interview session on top management of three express bus companies has found that the real-time record-keeping, which is a corrective measure, have been carried out instead of real-time monitoring, a preventive measure. Therefore, the existing model of speed management needs to be remodeled to alert the bus driver and the passengers who really concern about their own safety. A device and its main features which exploit the real-time monitoring ability of GPS are proposed for effective and systematic implementation of this new model.
IN-PLACE TRANSFORMATIONS WITH APPLICATIONS TO ENCODING AND DECODING VARIOUS CLASSES OF CODES

In an encoder for encoding symbols of data using a computing device having memory constraints, a method of performing a transformation comprising loading a source block into memory of the computing device, performing an intermediate transformation of less than all of the source block, then replacing a part of the source block with intermediate results in the memory and then completing the transformation such that output symbols stored in the memory form a set of encoded symbols. A decoder can perform decoding steps in an order that allows for use of substantially the same memory for storing the received data and the decoded source block, performing as in-place transformations. Using an in-place transformation, a large portion of memory set aside for received data can be overwritten as that received data is transformed into decoded source data without requiring a similar sized large portion of memory for the decoded source data.
Late medieval visionary women's impact in early modern castilian spiritual tradition

WIMPACT has two main objectives. In the first place, make an exhaustive research gathering the manuscripts and early printed books on/by European Late Medieval Mystic Women (13th-14th cc.) present in Castile in the premodern period (second half 15th c.-early 16th c.) and catalogue them. In the second place, evaluate the impact that those writings had, firstly, in the Castilian religious communities affected by Ximénez Cisneros Observant reform (1492-1517) and, secondly, in the Carmelite reform, accomplished by major literary figures as Teresa de Ávila and Juan de la Cruz (second half 16th c.). 

The first aim will be achieved by making an in-depth search in catalogues and directly in convent libraries of Castile and other institutions with keep collections related with female monasticism. In doing this, the ER will use his philological expertise combined not only to correctly classify the books, but also to understand them in a specific reception context. The results of this first phase will be accessible by the scientific community by creating an ad hoc open access webpage. The second aim will be achieved by implementing an interdisciplinary methodology which also departs from the comparative philology, but which uses tools of different fields (especially, gender studies, sociology and religious studies) to interpret the impact of those writings had in premodern Castile.

The relevance of WIMPACT for Horizon 2020 is twofold: in the first place, it implies a comprehensive, transnational perception of the cultural history of Europe, which crosses traditionally established national and chronologic boundaries. In the second, it studies the empowerment of women, their subsequent influence in the politics of the Castilian court and the role that they had in the Observant reforms undertaken in the period. Consequently, WIMPACT will provide a novel, deeper picture of the importance of the role of women in the development of European history.
Accurate Static Region Classification Using Multiple Cues for ARO Detection

This letter proposes an accurate static region classification for detecting abandoned or removed objects (ARO) using multiple cues. Most existing ARO detection approaches show many falsely detected static regions and low ARO detection performance in real situations because they use single cue and a number of pre-defined threshold values. The proposed method presents multiple cues as intensity, motion, and shape to characterize the true static regions and classifies their candidates into true/false static regions using a SVM classifier, which avoids any dependency on pre-defined threshold values. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieved better ARO detection accuracy and lower false detection rate than the existing methods. In addition, the proposed method can be utilized to several practical applications such as illegal parking detection, garbage throwing detection, thief detection, forest fire detection, and camouflaged solider detection.
The Research of Intelligent Parking System based on Internet of Things Technology

With the improvement of people's living standards, Large and medium-sized cities and some small and medium cities in the demand for private cars is becoming more and more big. This comes with increasing demand for parking spaces. Traditional fixed parking spaces and surface parking spaces have been unable to meet the growing demand for parking spaces, on the other hand, the bustling city commercial district, government agencies and offices and other places will inevitably appear parking difficult problem. At the same time, the growth of parking fees in some areas has brought a lot of economic burden to the office workers. Parking is difficult, the impact is not limited to the parking itself, which brings a series of urban management issues. Through the investigation and interview path discovery, staggered time sharing spaces is an effective means to solve the problem of parking. For the current parking is difficult, parking is not convenient to find parking spaces. To ease traffic congestion, save fuel to reduce exhaust emissions for the purpose, this paper proposes an efficient smart car system, including mobile terminal service system, data acquisition system, data transmission system and dynamic guidance system. System through a realtime network released vacant parking information and are equipped with GPS dynamic map navigation, when a vehicle enters the strange parking lot, system will enable indoor RFID tag localization, intelligent vehicle guidance function, also have the lock network control and carpooling bit line trading function.

METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE TIME AND EXTENT OF MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

The invention relates to a method for determining the time and the extent of maintenance operations for a system having a plurality of maintenance positions, each position having to be carried out in a corresponding tolerance range, a minimal maintenance distance being pre-determined between successive maintenance operations. According to the invention, the time of a maintenance operation is provisionally fixed at the latest at the end point of a tolerance region, which follows, as the first of the end points of the tolerance region of maintenance positions corresponding to the maintenance times, a previous maintenance operation, while maintaining the minimum maintenance distance. The extent of the pending maintenance operation at least consists of the maintenance positions, the end points of the tolerance range of which are situated before the planned maintenance time. The inventive method can be applied, for example, to the maintenance of a vehicle.
Looking for the Causes of Instability in Spatial Econometric Models

It is relatively easy to find symptoms of misspecification in a model that suffers from instability. Problems arise in relation to their interpretation: They may be due to a wrong selection of the functional form. There may be a problem of omitted variables or the parameters of the model may not be homogeneous across space. The authors focus their attention on the last aspect. Specifically, the intention is to develop a strategy to analyze the hypothesis of stability in the parameters of a spatial econometric model. It is important that this procedure should provide the user with information about the cause of instability. The content of the article is mixed. First, the authors develop a collection of robust Multipliers to test the hypothesis of stability in the main elements of a spatial econometric model. Then, they solve a Monte Carlo to analyze the behavior of the Multipliers. Finally, they present an application to the case of the Spanish elections by municipalities.
