Negative and positive affect as perceived triggers for loss of control eating in treatment-seeking individuals with binge eating disorder
Authors:   , Felonis Christina Robinson , Juarascio Adrienne S.
Published: August 2022

Outcomes from behavioral treatments for binge eating disorder (BED) are suboptimal and the need to identify areas for improvement is apparent. One potential explanation for these suboptimal outcomes is that affect is only minimally or partially targeted in existing treatments. Negative affect (NA) has been reliably shown to predict near-time loss of control eating (LOCE) episodes and poor outcomes, while positive affect (PA) has been underexplored but primarily supported as a protective factor for LOCE. However, there is a growing evidence base suggesting that for certain types of PA, situations eliciting PA, and subsets of individuals, PA may in fact contribute to LOCE. Elucidating which individuals with BED perceive NA and PA as triggers for LOCE and how this perception impacts treatment buy-in and response could be a key pathway to tailoring behavioral treatments and improving outcomes. The current study sought to address these gaps in the existing literature in 48 adults with BED receiving 25 sessions of group behavioral weight loss (BWL), either standard behavioral weight loss treatment (SBT) or an acceptance-based behavioral treatment version. PA as a perceived trigger for LOCE was examined as a predictor of outcomes from BWL as a whole and as a moderator of outcomes between treatment conditions. Several exploratory analyses were also conducted to better understand the unique clinical presentation of participants who reported PA as a perceived trigger for LOCE, the function of engaging in LOCE when experiencing NA or PA, and whether perceiving PA as a trigger for LOCE impacted the perceived helpfulness of treatment strategies. Results showed that nearly all individuals perceived NA as a trigger for LOCE and that nearly a third of individuals perceived PA as a trigger. PA as a perceived trigger for LOCE at baseline was not associated with global eating pathology or weight outcomes and was associated with better LOCE outcomes from SBT. Consistently, individuals who reported PA as a perceived trigger for LOCE found behavioral strategies most helpful, while individuals who reported NA as a perceived trigger found psychological strategies most helpful. Individuals who reported PA as a perceived trigger for LOCE were more likely to generally eat in response to PA and situations likely to elicit PA. They were also greater in age, identified more frequently as Black or African American and male, and had lower BMI, emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Engaging in LOCE in response to NA and PA was described as a maladaptive regulation strategy most often intended to provide comfort and pleasure. These findings indicate that PA as a perceived trigger for LOCE remains a complex construct worthy of additional exploration. Future research should seek to replicate using larger and more diverse samples and to extend these findings to other populations and behavioral treatments for BED.

Published: August 2022

The rapid development of infrastructure has made it a necessity to adopt some eco-friendly materials. This is because the increasing environmental impact caused by the construction industry has detrimental effect on the environment. The increasing trend of replacing conventional building materials with plant-based fibers has been a major benefit to the environment. This material can be used as a part of the construction process and reduce the impact on the environment. High performance banana fibre reinforced concrete is a type of reinforced concrete that exhibits significant mechanical properties. When banana fibres and GGBS is added to the concrete, it significantly improves the concrete’s compressive strength and tensile resistance.Hence this programme was executed to reduce the cost of cement and natural sand in concrete mix of grade M20.It was done by examining the mechanical performance of the concrete mix with partial replacement of cementand sand by GGBS and banana fibre respectively in concrete mix. The compressive strength is increased more effectively with the addition of GGBS instead of cement and the addition of banana fibre gives the better tensile strength to the concrete, therefore the GGBS and banana fibreplays better role in this study.

Published: August 2022

Fire resistance is one of the key factor which aids toward the durability of a structure. Concrete is the most widely used construction material and is also an effective material for structural fire protection. Physical and thermal properties are used to measure the fire resistance of concrete. Three main reasons of concrete fire resistance are: non-combustible, non-toxic, low thermal conductivity (concrete retain slow rate of heat transfer). The lower value of concrete thermal conductivity behaves like a perfect shield to protect the material and adjacent space from fire damage. Fire resistance of concrete depend on a few different factors mainly: aggregate type, moisture content, density, thickness. Aggregate type suitable for fire resistance of concrete are Limestone, dolomite and lime rock. This paper reviews works done by various researches on the effect of aggregates towards the fire resistance of concrete.

Published: August 2022

To study changes in physical, physiological and electrical properties of AR grade Nickel monoxide (NiO), thick films of NiO were fabricated on a glass substrate and annealed at 250 0C - 400 0C. Using characterization techniques, such as XRD, SEM-EDS and static gas sensing system, the structure of the film was found to be polycrystalline with a cubic structure and chemical composition study confirmed its non- stoichiometric nature. Half bridge method is used for measurement of D.C. resistance of thick films in air atmosphere at 30 0C to 350 0C. The prepared thick films of NiO nanoparticles were analysed for electrical properties and it ascertained that they are semiconducting in nature. The TCR, activation energy as well as film resistivity were measured at selected annealing temperatures. The D.C electrical conductivity results obtained from electrical properties at room temperature is 0.086 × 104 (Ωm) 1. The crystallite size changes from 8.20 nm to 8.54 nm for strong predominant orientation (200) with increase in annealing temperature. Study of correlation between annealing temperature and electrical resistivity showed that there is decrease in resistance with increase in temperature.

Review on The Use of Bamboo as A Construction Material
Authors: Chainey Samjetsabam , Shijagurumayum Chitra , Thokchom Suresh
Published: August 2022

Bamboo is considered one of the most versatile, sustainable and environment friendly building material. They grow naturally all over the globe but are more abundantly found in the tropical and sub-tropical regions such as Asia, Africa and some parts of America. The social and economic benefits granted by bamboo and its product to the society has been high since time immemorial. On account of this fact, it is widely recognized as one of the most important forest resources. Its compressive strength is higher than that of concrete, brick or wood and its tensile strength is comparable to that of steel. The over consumption of conventional construction material such as steel, bricks has posed serious depletion issues of raw materials. Also, with the global increase in population, it has become a challenge to provide proper housing which is both economical and safe for the common people. In addition, in view of the current tectonic activities around the different parts of the world, Bamboo can serve as an alternative building material to steel reinforcement. This paper studies the results of bamboo reinforced concrete and the performance of housing system where bamboo is used as a chief construction member.
Self-Collision Avoidance Control of Dual-Arm Multi-Link Robot Using Neural Network Approach
Authors: Kramar Vadim , Kramar Oleg , Kabanov Aleksey
Published: August 2022

The problem of mutual collisions of manipulators of a dual-arm multi-link robot (so-called self-collisions) arises during the performance of a cooperative technological operation. Self-collisions can lead to non-fulfillment of the technological operation or even to the failure of the manipulators. In this regard, it is necessary to develop a method for online detection and avoidance of self-collisions of manipulators. The article presents a method for detecting and avoiding self-collisions of multi-link manipulators using an artificial neural network by the example of the dual-arm robot SAR-401. A comparative analysis is carried out and the architecture of an artificial neural network for self-collisions avoidance control of dual-arm robot manipulators is proposed. The novelty of the proposed approach lies in the fact that it is an alternative to the generally accepted methods of detecting self-collisions based on the numerical solution of inverse kinematics problems for manipulators in the form of nonlinear optimization problems. Experimental results performed based on MATLAB model, the simulator of the robot SAR-401 and on the real robot itself confirmed the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach. It is shown that the detection of possible self-collisions using the proposed method based on an artificial neural network is performed approximately 10 times faster than approaches based on the numerical solution of the inverse kinematics problem while maintaining the specified accuracy.

In recent years, robots that recognize people around them and provide guidance, information, and monitoring have been attracting attention. The mainstream of conventional human recognition technology is the method using a camera or laser range finder. However, it is difficult to recognize with a camera due to fluctuations in lighting 1), and it is often affected by the recognition environment such as misrecognition 2) with a person's leg and a chair's leg with a laser range finder. Therefore, we propose a human recognition method using a thermal camera that can visualize human heat. This study aims to realize human-following autonomous movement based on human recognition. In addition, the distance from the robot to the person is measured with a stereo thermal camera that uses two thermal cameras. A coaxial two-wheeled robot that is compact and capable of super-credit turning is used as a mobile robot. Finally, we conduct an autonomous movement experiment of a coaxial mobile robot based on human recognition by combining these. We performed human-following experiments on a coaxial two-wheeled robot based on human recognition using a stereo thermal camera and confirmed that it moves appropriately to the location where the recognized person is in multiple use cases (scenarios). However, the accuracy of distance measurement by stereo vision is inferior to that of laser measurement. It is necessary to improve it in the case of movement that requires more accuracy.

Published: August 2022

El artículo tiene como objetivo explicar algunos reflejos de la teoría histórico cultural en la política educativa cubana, con énfasis en la educación especial. La metodología utilizada es la revisión de documentos normativos del Ministerio de Educación de Cuba. Las bases esenciales del proceso pedagógico para la educación del alumnado con necesidades educativas especiales en Cuba están en los conceptos de estructura del defecto, compensación y zona de desarrollo próximo. Consecuentemente, se explican procedimientos para favorecer la inclusión de estos alumnos en la escuela común que tienen su raíz en las concepciones de Vigostky sobre la educación especial. Estos procedimientos legislados por el Ministerio de Educación son las comisiones de apoyo al diagnóstico, la entrega pedagógica y el proceso de tránsito y egreso, que en armonía con la concepción del papel del medio en la formación de la personalidad, delimitan la interacción y el establecimiento de las relaciones de colaboración y coordinación entre los docentes para favorecer el éxito del alumnado a su paso por el sistema educativo.
Tempos de pandemia: Quando os frágeis sintomas de inclusão se transformam em sinais de exclusão
Authors: Colôa Joaquim
Published: August 2022

Esta narrativa considera as contradições entre os discursos de inclusão e as desigualdades sublinhadas pela pandemia. O relato baseia-se em informação recolhida, essencialmente, em textos na internet e em dados de um questionário distribuído em comunidades virtuais. Em Portugal, como noutros países, fecharam-se as escolas. As famílias foram confinadas em casa e a pandemia realçou, numa sociedade desigual, a exclusão. Em que pesem os comprometimentos com a educação inclusiva, em Portugal esta orquestra-se por retóricas e ambiguidades políticas e teóricas, com inevitáveis tensões nas práticas. Com o fechamento das escolas, embora reconhecido o esforço de todos os agentes, a carência de competências e conhecimentos e a falta de acessibilidade a recursos afetaram a ação e aumentaram a exclusão de alguns alunos. Após a euforia, percebeu-se que a educação a distância não assegurou a continuidade e equidade nas aprendizagens. A participação de alguns alunos, antes com frágeis sintomas de inclusão, denotou claros sinais de exclusão. Os riscos de pobreza aumentaram. As desigualdades no acesso aos recursos digitais e das competências de literacia digital dos alunos, dos restantes membros da família e mesmo dos professores tornaram-se visíveis. A educação encarada, numa lógica neoliberal, como mercadoria sujeita às leis de mercado fragiliza a ação das escolas, mas estas continuam a ser responsabilizadas para superar, sem recursos e preparação, os processos de exclusão a que muitos alunos estão sujeitos. A inclusão como processo colaborativo e articulado numa lógica horizontal e vertical apresenta-se mais pertinente.

Published: August 2022

O presente artigo é resultado parcial de uma pesquisa em nível de Doutorado, financiada pelo CNPq, que teve como objetivo compreender a influência do escolanovismo em iniciativas governamentais para a educação do campo, em particular o Programa Escola Ativa. Optou-se pelos procedimentos teóricos e metodológicos da revisão bibliográfica, análise documental, observação e as notas de campo. Na concepção pedagógica da Escola Nova, destacam-se duas correntes: a metodológica e a doutrinária, que inspiraram vários programas e projetos educativos no mundo inteiro, inclusive ações governamentais voltadas para as escolas do campo com experiências no Brasil, como o Programa Escola Ativa, implementado nos anos de 1990 para atender às escolas do campo, visando preencher as lacunas metodológicas para o trabalho didático-pedagógico junto às escolas com turmas multisseriadas. Os resultados mostram que, após ser executado por mais de 20 anos como iniciativa específica para a realidade das escolas com turmas multisseriadas, em 2011, o Programa Escola Ativa foi extinto sob o argumento de que seria substituído pelo Programa Escola da Terra. A extinção do Programa, sem uma avaliação prévia da política que o concebeu, acabou seguindo o perverso ciclo das políticas de educação no Brasil, onde programas e projetos são descontinuados e/ou extintos, sobretudo quando ocorrem as transições governamentais.

Published: August 2022

La institución de las comisiones ad-hoc como fórmula representativa subsi diaria constituye una pieza fundamental en empresas carentes de representantes de los trabajadores. No obstante, su configuración heterogénea, así como su aplicación restringida a determinados supuestos tasados por la norma ha limitado su ámbito de actuación. La comisión ad-hoc del art. 5.3 RD 901/2020 articula una nueva regulación, la cual incluye como una de sus novedades la expulsión definitiva de las comisiones internas de trabajadores, como una de sus modalidades. Esta nueva configuración ha suscitado diversas controversias en la práctica, principalmente adscritas a la legitimación, la eficacia de los acuerdos alcanzados e, inclusive, la legalidad. El estudio de estos aspectos permitirá cuestionar si realmente esta institución tiene encaje para la negociación de los planes de igualdad.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a collection of symptoms in the human skeletal and muscular systems, which are characterized by discomfort or pain. The International Labor Organization (ILO) stated that MSDs are the most common health problem among office workers in 27 countries under the European Union. Therefore, this study aims to determine the risk factors for MSDs among office workers. Method: This study used the literature review method by accessing an online database using different keywords, namely risk factors, musculoskeletal disorders, and office workers. Subsequently, 939, 1,421, and 243 articles were obtained from Google Scholar, ProQuest, and PubMed.Gov, respectively, with a total of 2,603. The inclusion criteria include papers published between 2011 and 2021, relevant titles and abstracts, primary study with a cross-sectional design, as well as full-text availability. Incomplete articles that are irrelevant to the topic were then excluded, after which a total of eight were selected for analysis. Result: Based on selected articles known that the risk factors for MSDs include age, gender, knowledge of ergonomics, work posture, work facilities, duration of work, physical activity, and psychosocial factors in the workplace. Conclusion: The significant risk factors for MSDs include increasing age, female gender, increased work duration, poor knowledge of ergonomics, wrong work posture, non-ergonomic support facilities, lack of physical activity, as well as poor psychosocial conditions in the workplace.

Introduction: Indonesia ranks 8th globally in the air pollution index, with poor air quality causing premature deaths from lung ailments such as interstitial lung diseases. Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL 6) can be used to detect lung disease caused by air pollution. However, the number of studies investigating the link between air pollutant exposure and KL-6 levels is inadequate. The present study explores the association between air pollutant exposure and KL-6 levels in workers in different settings. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 70 individuals who were divided into two groups. Dust levels were measured using a particle counter as a proxy for air pollutant levels. KL-6 levels were measured with ELISA. The Spearman correlation test, Mann-Whitney test, and generalized linear model were used in statistical analyses. Results and Discussion: Air pollutant exposure differed significantly between outdoor and indoor settings (p = 0.000). A significant difference was found in KL-6 serum levels between outdoor and indoor workers (p = 0.000). Air pollutant levels were inversely associated with KL-6 serum levels in outdoor (r = -0.557, p < 0.05) and indoor workers (r = -0.360, p < 0.05). Working duration did not significantly correlate with KL-6 serum levels in either group. A tendency of linear association among air pollutant exposure, overall working duration, and KL-6 serum levels was found in the multivariable model. Conclusion: Work settings were associated with varying exposures to air pollutants and KL-6 serum levels. Higher exposure to pollutants may be associated with an increase in KL-6 serum levels.
Pesticides Exposure and Thyroid Hormone Levels Among Agricultural Workers and Pesticide Applicators: A Systematic Review

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Presently, the global consumption of pesticides including insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides to protect crops is increasing. Pesticides' role as Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) has gained great concern in the field of thyroid hormones. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to determine the link of pesticide exposure with thyroid hormone levels among male agricultural workers and pesticide applicators. Discussion: It was discovered that the majority of reviewed articles have similar results concerning the effects of pesticide exposure on the serum levels of thyroid hormones among either farmworkers or pesticide applicators. Commonly, insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides are known as one of the EDCs. The results showed the elevation of TSH and T4 serum levels mostly occurred among groups exposed to insecticide application only rather than those exposed to various pesticide types. Moreover, the hormonal change differed based on each class of pesticide. Conclusion: This review suggests that some types of pesticides extensively used in agriculture might be involved in the increase and decrease in thyroid hormone levels among exposed individuals. Further studies should assess specific types of pesticides and the adverse health effects which involve confounding factors to yield robust analysis.

This research discusses Kiai's views on women candidates in the 2018 East Java regional elections. There are two competing candidates, the Khofifah-Emil and Gus Ipul-Puti pairs. Both Khofifah and Gus Ipul were both from the Nahdliyin circles and claimed to have the support of the Kiai Nahdlatul Ulama. Kiai's support was divided, there were those who supported Gus Ipul and Khofifah. Many fatwa wars and arguments have arisen in the community to strengthen each candidate. One of the arguments that is often conveyed is about gender which looks down on women when going forward as a candidate in the 2018 East Java governor election. There are two competing female candidates namely Khofifah as a candidate for governor and Puti as a candidate for deputy governor. The research method that I used is qualitative-descriptive with observational data collection techniques and in-depth interviews with Kiai both structural Kiai and Nahdlatul Ulama cultural kiai in Surabaya and surrounding areas. The result was that the majority of structural Kiai supported women to run as candidates in the 2018 East Java Governor election. Only a small number of cultural Kiai refused women to run as candidates.
Reinforcement Learning: Theory and Applications in HEMS

Published: August 2022

The twin capabilities of learning from experience and learning at higher levels of abstraction, set reinforcement learning apart from other areas of machine learning and (within the broader context) all of artificial intelligence. It allows algorithmic agents to replace human beings in the real world, including in homes and buildings, in application domains that had hitherto been considered to be beyond today’s capabilities. This goal, specifically aimed at home energy automation that forms the backdrop of this article, which surveys the use of deep reinforcement learning in various HEMS applications. The article provides an overview of generic reinforcement learning. This is followed with discussions on the state-of-the-art methods for value based, policy gradient, and actor-critic methods in deep reinforcement learning. In order to make published literature in reinforcement learning more accessible to HEMS researchers, verbal descriptions are accompanied with explanatory figures as well as mathematical expressions using the same terminology as the machine learning community. Next, a detailed survey of how reinforcement learning is used in different HEMS domains is described. The survey also considers what kind of reinforcement learning algorithms are used in each HEMS application. The survey suggests that this research is still in its infancy.
