Psychometric Validation of the Internet Disorder Scale–Short Form in an Italian Adult Sample
Authors: Soraci Paolo , Ferrari Ambra , Bonanno Enrico , Rosanna De Pace , Repice Emanuela , Griffiths Mark D. 
Published: April 2020

AbstractResearch examining online addictions has conceptualized generalized internet addiction as an “umbrella” term comprising the addictive use of various online activities such as gambling, gaming, pornograpgy consumption shopping, and social media use. This has led to the development of many different psychometric instruments to assess specific forms of online addiction as well as ones that assess disordered internet use more generally. One such scale is the nine-item short-form Internet Disorder Scale (IDS9-SF) based on the DSM-5 criteria for internet gaming disorder. Although the IDS9-SF has been validated in a number of languages, it has not been validated into Italian. Therefore, the present study validated the IDS9-SF utilizing an Italian-speaking sample (N = 1477). Data were initially collected from 963 participants and the sample was equally split to carry out exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the Italian IDS9-SF. Results showed that two items were problematic (i.e., in terms of asymmetry and kurtosis) so a slightly modified Italian IDS9-SF was developed (modifying the two items). Data were then collected from a further 514 participants to test the modified Italian IDS9-SF. The second sample was again equally split, and EFA and CFA were carried out. The modified Italian IDS9-SF was found to be a psychometrically robust measure for assessing the risk of internet disorder among Italian adults.

Published: April 2020

AbstractHigh demands for higher turbine efficiency bring attention to newer and more advanced insulating materials for the high temperature components in the turbine. Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) has shown good insulating properties in the previous published research, such as higher temperature limitation and better resistance to calcium–magnesium–alumina–silicate environmental contaminant penetration than the more conventional yttria-stabilized zirconia systems. Whereas in literature, coatings of YAG are typically prepared by solution deposition processes, in the present work YAG powder has been prepared for more conventional thermal spraying methods. The goal is to show the potential YAG powders have as a thermal barrier coating. Different approaches for obtaining a successful deposition and a good coating have been explored. Small-sized industrial-supplied powder and larger in-house-made powder have been compared, emphasizing the importance of energy used for deposition and crystallinity in the final coating. Highly crystalline material has successfully been produced with F4 atmospheric plasma spray system without post-treatment or substrate heating.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Objective
Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) is a common condition cancer survivors experience. Mindfulness training may be one approach to address the psychosocial factors associated with CNP. The purpose of this study was to understand patients’ experiences in an 8-week online mindfulness-based program (MBP), including techniques and skills learned and applied, barriers to practice, and research experiences.

Methods
Nineteen participants who were part of a randomized controlled trial consented to participate in a telephone interview or submit written responses via email post-course. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the principles of Applied Thematic Analysis (ATA).

Results
Predominant themes identified in participant interviews included (1) common humanity, (2) convenience, (3) teacher resonance, (4) perceived relaxation and calm, (5) pain and stress management, (6) half-day session, and (7) mindful breathing. Participants also identified helpful strategies learned and implemented from the course, as well as barriers to practice, and key components of their experiences in a randomized controlled trial, including a sense of disconnection post-course and needing continued ongoing sessions, and the importance of the facilitators’ skills in creating a comfortable and supportive space.

Conclusions
An online group-based MBP may offer a more accessible resource and form of psychosocial intervention and support for cancer survivors living with CNP. Furthermore, the need and consideration for implementing ongoing group maintenance sessions to minimize participants’ feelings of disconnect and abandonment post-course and post-study are warranted in future MBP development.
Lost in Autonomy – Temporal Structures and Their Implications for Employees’ Autonomy and Well-Being among Knowledge Workers
Authors: Väänänen Ari , Toivanen Minna , Lallukka Tea 
Published: April 2020

AbstractConceptual models based on the importance of work autonomy for employees’ health represent important cornerstones in the occupational well-being and work stress literature. The objectives of this study were to 1) explore and understand the temporal conditions framing work among autonomous knowledge professionals, 2) describe how autonomy is experienced in knowledge work jobs, and 3) analyze the implications of current autonomy for well-being in knowledge work. The interview study consisted of 21 women and 13 men who worked in knowledge-intensive jobs in Finland. Analysis of the material shows that knowledge work is structured by different levels of transverse temporal structures: individual and social structures, and organizational and macrolevel structures. This creates a paradoxical nature of autonomy among knowledge workers, characterized by high task autonomy and intense socio-temporal interdependence. One can have strong autonomy and be tied at the same time. Unsynchronized time structures can lead to fragmented work, overwhelming work burden, and higher risk of mental health symptoms. It would therefore be advisable to establish collective temporal structures in organizations that create manageability and predictability. We conclude that models of occupational well-being and work stress should pay more attention to the social structure and temporal interdependencies that characterize knowledge work.
Visualizing a Possible Future: Map Guidelines for a 3D Detailed Development Plan
Authors: Judge Stephanie , Harrie Lars 
Published: April 2020

AbstractDetailed development plans (DDPs) legally define what can be built on a specific property. A proper visualization of these plans is important to facilitate public participation in the urban planning process. In most countries, visualizations of DDPs are still in the form of static 2D maps, but there is a movement towards 3D interactive maps. This movement could potentially benefit public participation by improving communication of the plan proposal, but it also raises issues concerning the cartographic design. A challenge is that a DDP visualization does not convey whatwillbe built in an area, but rather whatcouldbe built within the legal frame of the DDP. This implies that the uncertainty in the cartographic design needs to be addressed. In this study, we develop (based on literature review) and implement preliminary guidelines of a 3D DDP visualization, including interactivity possibilities to explicitly address the issue of uncertainty in DDP visualization. The preliminary guidelines are evaluated by semi-structured interviews with urban planning professionals, and based on the outcome of these interviews, the guidelines are updated. The movement toward 3D DDP visualizations was stressed by the participants as important for improving the public understanding and participation in the urban planning process, when the appropriate cartography and functionality is applied.
THE RELATION BETWEEN CONFUCIANISM AND CHINESE POLITICS: HISTORY, ACTUALITY, AND FUTURE
Authors: Sun Lei 
Published: April 2020

AbstractThis article analyzes the relation between Confucianism and Chinese politics in the history, actuality, and future. The focus is on the special relationship between Confucianism and Chinese politics. First, the author provides a brief historical reflection on the relationship between Confucianism and Chinese traditional politics and develops three dimensions for such an interpretation. Second, the author explains the need for a Confucian renaissance in contemporary Chinese politics. The article then turns to the contemporary controversy about Confucianism and Chinese politics in mainland China. Jiang Qing's conception of Confucianism as state religion is then juxtaposed with Chen Ming's articulation of Confucianism as civil religion. In conclusion, the author argues that Confucianism should serve as an ethical resource for the state constitution, as well as a resource for social governance and cultivation.
Cosmogenic 10Be exposure dating of Bull Lake and Pinedale moraine sequences in the upper Arkansas River valley, Colorado Rocky Mountains, USA

Published: April 2020

AbstractMany formerly glaciated valleys in the western United States preserve detailed glacial features that span the penultimate glaciation through the last deglaciation; however, numerical age control is limited in many of these systems. We report 35 new cosmogenic 10Be surface exposure ages of moraine boulders in the Sawatch Range, Colorado. Eight ages suggest Bull Lake moraines in Lake Creek (range: 132–120 ka, n = 4) and Clear Creek (range: 187–133 ka, n = 4) valleys may correlate with Marine Isotope Stage 6. In Lake Creek valley, 22 10Be ages from Pinedale end moraines average 20.6 ± 0.6 ka, and 5 10Be ages from a recessional moraine average 15.6 ± 0.7 ka, indicating that glaciers occupied two extended positions at ~21–20 and ~16 ka. The glacial extent dated to ~16 ka was nearly as great as that of the earlier glacial phase, suggesting that climate conditions in the Colorado Rocky Mountains at this time were similar to those of the last glacial maximum. Combining these moraine ages with seven previously published 10Be ages from cirque and valley-bottom bedrock reveals that the Lake Creek paleoglacier lost 82% of its full glacial length in ~1.5 ka and was completely deglaciated by ~14 ka.

Jianchuan Bai

Published: April 2020

The Bai language () is spoken by approximately 1.6 million people in northwest Yunnan Province, China. Of the 25 minority languages spoken in Yunnan, where 33% of the population are ethnic minorities and 67% are Han Chinese, the Bai ethnic minority is second in population only to the Yi (Wiersma 1990, 2003; 2010 census). Bai is classified as a Tibeto-Burman language (Xu & Zhao 1964, 1984), although arguments have been raised as to its possible early Sinitic origins (Starostin 1994, 1995). A summary in French reviews Chinese loanwords, ancient Bai, and comparative Bai dialects (Dell 1981). The historical influence of Chinese on Bai has been significant, but evidence is not compelling that Bai is Sinitic (Norman 2003: 73). There are three major dialects of Bái: Jiànchuān (), Dàlĭ (), and Bìjiāng (). The data in this illustration represent the variety of Jianchuan (jian1239, BCA). The third author (), who was about 60 years old at the time of recording, is a male native of the Jianchuan region, originating from QiÁohǒu, a mountain village some 50 km southwest of Jianchuan city – a remote area known for salt mining and where the language has been less influenced by modern Chinese. These locations are indicated on the map of Yunnan (the southwesternmost province of China in an intensely minority-language-populated area) in Figure 1. The traditional geographical link from Qiaohou is to Jianchuan to the north rather than to Dali to the south, and many of the most distinctive characteristics of Jianchuan Bai described here are not found in Dali Bai.
Assignment of Vairimorpha leptinotarsae comb. nov. on the basis of molecular characterization of Nosema leptinotarsae Lipa, 1968 (Microsporidia: Nosematidae)
Authors: Bekircan Çağrı 
Published: April 2020

AbstractNosema leptinotarsae Lipa, 1968 is a microsporidian pathogen of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). To determine the phylogenetic status of N. leptinotarsae, the 16S SSU rRNA gene was sequenced (GenBank Accession No. MN841279) and compared phylogenetically against 21 microsporidian 16S SSU rRNA sequences using neighbour-joining and maximum-parsimony methods. The per cent identities of the N. leptinotarsae and other members of the Nosema–Vairimorpha clade ranged from 78.1 to 98.5%. Pairwise phylogenetic distances between the N. leptinotarsae and other species ranged from 0.009 to 0.320. Phylogenetic analysis shows clearly that N. leptinotarsae is a member of the Vairimorpha clade rather than the Nosema clade. The sequence divergence and morphological traits separated the N. leptinotarsae from other species in the Vairimorpha complex. As a result, a new assignment of Vairimorpha leptinotarsae comb. nov. has been implemented for N. leptinotarsae according to the phylogenetical positioning in the present study.
Growth hormone response to clonidine stimulation in depressive states — First part of a two-part study —

Published: April 2020

Summary31 patients presenting a Major Depressive Episode were divided into two groups (endogenous versus neurotic depression), in keeping with the Newcastle criteria (Garside and Roth, 1974). 10 patients were allocated to each group for the realization of a test of growth hormone (GH) response to clonidine stimulation.The patients received no psychotropes for 8 days prior to the test. Mean age for the neurotic and endogenous groups was respectively 36.67 ± 3.18 years and 44.71 ± 2.56 years. Severity of depression, assessed with the Hamilton rating scale (21 items), was comparable in the two groups (35.35 ± 4.12 versus 39.8 ± 6.13).The test was carried out in two phases in each patient. During the initial phase, saline was infused over 10 minutes and continuous sampling was realized over a 4-hour period (automatic fraction collector with peristaltic pump), at between 9 AM and 1 PM. 48 hours later, the same procedure was repeated with the addition of 15 µg clonidine. This procedure allowed partial neutralization, for interpretation of results, of the «test apprehension» effect. Assays were carried out by radioimmunoassay (pooled samples), and correspond to real values for 10-minute time intervals (integrated values).Spontaneous GH secretion in the endogenous group was significantly lower (0.57 ± 0.16 ng/ml) than in the neurotic group (5.03 ± 1.08 ng/ml) and the control group (2.47 ± 0.78 ng/ml). After clonidine stimulation, GH response in the neurotic group was identical to that in the control group. No significant response was observed in the endogenous group. These results confirm those of several previous studies (Matussek, Charney, Checkley, Boyer, Corn, Siever) and seem to indicate hyposensitivity of the post-synaptic α2-adrenergic receptors in endogenous depression. Nevertheless, spontaneous GH hyposecretion in the same patients necessarily involves other mechanisms. The hypotheses concerning these mechanisms will be discussed in the second part of this study.

SummaryWhile some investigators believe that the concept of depression is a continuum with mild and severe forms reflecting essentially the same entity, most suspect that the concept is instead heterogeneous and consists of a group of discrete subtypes. If this is so, identifying subtypes is a major priority. Ultimately such subtypes must be understood in terms of their underlying neural and even molecular mechanisms. Yet in order to search for such mechanisms, we still must begin with clinical phenomenology.Two major subtypes of serious depressions have been proposed. Endogenous or melancholic depression is one, while bipolar depression is another. Thinking about both these subtypes tends to assume an underlying biogenic mechanism that is relatively autonomous, although not necessarily free of environmental influences.This paper examines a series of attempts to identify discrete subtypes of depression. One approach, used in a series of investigations, involves the use of mathematical techniques such as cluster analysis in order to identify phenomenologically similar subgroups within the depressive spectrum. This approach has consistently identified a melancholic or endogenous syndrome. Our attempts to validate the concept of endogenous depression through examining external correlates, such as family history, have been less successful.An alternate method for subtyping depression stresses that the bipolar subtype represents a discrete form of severe endogenously caused depression. We bave examined the phenomenology of bipolar versus unipolar depression and found it to differ significantly in a number of respects. Thus, endogenous depression and bipolar depression may represent different phenontena.
Agoraphobia with panic attacks and social phobia: a comparative clinical and psychometric study
Authors: Cottraux J. , Mollard E. , Duinat-pascal A. 
Published: April 2020

SummarySeventy one agoraphobie patients with panic attacks, and 54 social phobics, diagnosed according to DSM III criteria have been compared. The two groups were balanced for age, sex, and educational level. Statistical comparisons of clinical, and psychometric variables differentiated the two groups. Panic attacks frequency characterized the agoraphobie patients, while very low assertion scores on Radius’ Assertiveness Schedule characterized social phobies. An association with simple phobias was more frequently found in agoraphobic patients. Comparable levels of generalized anxiety and avoidance were found in the two groups. MMPI mean profile was more disturbed in social phobics. Psychasthenia scale, and anxiety index, were significantly higher in social phobics. Social phobias started earlier, but these patients sought treatment later, and took less psychotropic medication. There was no correlation between assertiveness and panic attacks frequency in the two sub-samples. Principal components analysis of MMPI scales and Assertiveness Schedule confirmed the heterogeneity of the two syndromes. Results are discussed in regard of the extensive use of panic attacks as a general model of anxiety.
La version française de l’échelle CES-D (Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale). Description et traduction de l’échelle d’autoévaluation
Authors: Fuhrer R . , Rouillon F . 
Published: April 2020

RésuméCet article court présente la version française de l’échelle CES-D, instrument destiné á être employé en population générale. Les 20 items de l’échelle sont souvent présents chez les déprimés et sont issus d’instruments déjà validés dans la mesure clinique des états dépressifs. L’évaluation repose sur l’état au cours de la semaine précédente et les réponses sont du type jamais, très rarement, à fréquemment, tout le temps. Les études de validation de la version française ont été réalisées chez des malades psychiatriques hospitalisés, chez des malades psychiatriques ambulatoires et en médecine générale. Les instruments auxquels le CES-D a été comparé comportaient la MADRS, les catégories DSM III des troubles affectifs et un diagnostic ouvert de dépression. La note seuil utilisée aux Etats-Unis ne paraît pas être pertinente en France. Les résultats suggèrent une note seuil optimale de 17 pour les sujets masculins, 23 pour les sujets féminins. Nous soulignons qu’à l’heure actuelle ia valeur prédictive de cet instrument pour un sujet individuel n’a pu encore être evaluée.

Published: April 2020

RésuméZotepine was studied in 15 schizophrenic patients over a period of 28 days with regard to its antipsychotic efficacy, effect on negative schizophrenic symptoms, tolerability and adverse effects. Nine patients received Zotepine in a high dosage of 230 mg/die±52 mg, 6 patients in a low dosage of 168 mg/die ± 18 mg. Two patients receiving the high dosage dropped out after 21 days because of worsening of symptomatology and suicide attempts. Zotepine had rapid antipsychotic effects with sedative properties during the initial days of treatment. Minimal adverse effects and extra-pyramidal motor disturbances as well as dose-dependent positive effects on negative schizophrenie symptoms were found.
Rythmes Biologiques, Anxiété, Cognition et Sommeil
Authors: Lemoine P. 
Published: April 2020

RésuméUn des aspects essentiels de la cognition chez l’homme est lié à la qualité de son sommeil qui semble conditionner la fonction de mémorisation aussi bien que d’attention. Il est d’ailleurs remarquable de constater que les molécules hypnotiques peuvent avoir des effets différents sur la cognition, de façon peut-être corrélée à leur action sur les differents stades de sommeil et sûrement liée à la persistance de leurs effets sur la vigilance pendant la journée.Il est désormais classique de différencier l’anxiété généralisée (AG) de la dépression majeure (DM) par la mise en évidence des variations circadiennes marquées sur les plans clinique, polygraphique, hormonal et physiologique dans la dépression alors qu’une non-rythmicité de l’anxiété généralisée est habituellement revendiquée. Certains rythmes peuvent néanmoins être mis en évidence, bien que de façon moins marquée dans cette pathologie. Ainsi, des variations circadiennes sont souvent notées sur le plan clinique, un maximum d’anxiété et d’attaques de panique se produisant l’après-midi et en début de soirée au moment de l’acmé de la courbe de température centrale. De même, certaines particularités sont notables au niveau de l’analyse des enregistrements polygraphiques de sommeil et des niveaux plasmatiques hormonaux.Un des faits les plus troublants est de constater une certaine symetrie dans l’expression clinique et polygraphique des troubles dans la dépression majeure et l’anxiété généralisee: la DM est classiquement associée à un réveil très douloureux en milieu de nuit et à une désorganisation de la structure polygraphique du sommeil dans la deuxième partie de la nuit, moments où la température centrale après avoir atteint son niveau minimal amorce une remontée. A l’inverse, l’AG est à son maximum en fin d’après-midi et comporte une insomnie de la première partie de la nuit objectivée par un aspect haché du sommeil observable entre le moment du coucher et le milieu de la nuit, période où la temperature centrale est dans une phase descendante.Certaines anomalies peuvent être également retrouvées aux niveaux physiologique et biologique. Ces ditférentes observations devraient sans doute, dans l’avenir, susciter des recherches chronobiologiques plus nombreuses et influencer les habitudes de prescription.
