Adaptive behaviour, comorbid psychiatric symptoms, and attachment disorders
Authors: Giltaij Hans P. , Sterkenburg Paula S. , Schuengel Carlo 
Published: January 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to describe the mental and intellectual developmental status of children with combined intellectual disabilities, reactive attachment disorder (RAD), and/or disinhibited social engagement disorder (DSED), and to describe the presence of comorbid diagnoses.Design/methodology/approach– The study included 55 children that were referred for psychiatric consultation due to low intellectual functioning (borderline or mild; IQ 50-84). Attachment diagnoses were based on the Clinical Observation of Attachment (COA) procedure. Development was measured with the Dutch version of the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales. Psychopathology was measured with the DISC-IV and AUTI-R. Emotional and behavioural problems were measured with the Dutch version of the Developmental Behaviour Checklist.Findings– Children with and without attachment diagnoses had similar IQs. However, children with disturbed attachment, RAD, and/or DSED had lower levels of adaptive behaviour than those without attachment diagnoses. No comorbidity was associated with autism or ADHD. However, 80 per cent of children with RAD and/or DSED were also diagnosed with ADHD. Parents of children with DSED often reported disruptive anti-social behaviour.Practical implications– Children with RAD and/or DSED may have unused developmental potential. Disturbed attachment should be considered in some cases of ADHD.Originality/value– Findings suggested that diagnostic expertise provided added value for distinguishing disordered attachment in young clients with intellectual disability.
How acceptance and commitment therapy changed the perspective on support provision for staff working with intellectual disability
Authors: Leoni Mauro , Corti Serafino , Cavagnola Roberto , Healy Olive , Noone Stephen J. 
Published: January 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present a review on evidence-based intervention concerning the reduction of stress/burnout and the improvement of wellbeing for professionals working with people with intellectual disabilities (IDs).

Design/methodology/approach
– Theoretical models and literature related to stress reduction are reviewed from a classical cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) approach up to the novel contribution of the third generation of cognitive-behavioural therapies, with a specific focus on contextual behavioural sciences and acceptance and commitment Therapy (ACT).

Findings
– Despite the improvement of CBT-based interventions in reducing risk factors for stress and burnout, the limitations of a problem-solving approach when applied to challenging environments like those of direct support to persons with ID, are still large. Interventions based on the core processes and the related techniques of ACT appear to be promising in promoting the well being of paid carers reducing the risk of burnout, and increasing psychological flexibility. Such factors can increase the ability to clarify personal and professional values, as well as the opportunities to act consistently with such values and achieve greater social reinforcement in the work environment.

Research limitations/implications
– The limitations of the existing research are presented and discussed. There are several aspects that future research should address in order to promote staff training protocols that could be extensively applied with preventive aims. Organisations could take the available procedures and methodologies and implement these evidence-based practices within existing training.

Originality/value
– The research on the application of ACT and third generation of behavioural approaches to the wellbeing and behaviour of staff supporting persons with IDs remains limited. The present paper is the first narrative review on this topic.
The influence of cooperative education and reflection upon previous work experiences on university graduates’ vocational self-concept
Authors: Drewery David , Nevison Colleen , Pretti T Judene 
Published: January 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to assess the relative effects of participation in cooperative education (co-op) and engagement in reflection upon previous work experiences on undergraduate students’ vocational self-concept (VSC) at graduation.

Design/methodology/approach
– A cross-sectional survey of graduating students (n=1,483) from a Canadian university was used. Regression models and a mediation analysis were used to test the influence of co-op on VSC through the mechanism of reflection.

Findings
– Results suggest that both co-op and reflection on previous work experiences have direct effects on VSC, and that reflection partially mediates the relationship between degree type and VSC.

Research limitations/implications
– This supports the role of work-integrated learning and self-reflection as critical determinants of students’ work-related learning outcomes, and co-op as a potential container in which reflection may occur.

Practical implications
– Students should be given opportunity to reflect on their work-related experiences in order to strengthen their VSC. Institutions may integrate practices related to reflection in order for their students to reap the benefits of deeper learning.

Originality/value
– This study represents an inaugural view of the potential links between self-reflection and the development of students’ VSC across both co-op and non-co-op degree types.
Starting points for a new researcher in behavioral finance
Authors: Huang Jim Yuh , Shieh Joseph C.P. , Kao Yu-Cheng 
Published: January 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to systematically consolidate and analyze papers in behavioral finance in the past 20 years, and to provide an overall introduction to scholars and professionals in the industry who may be interested in behavioral finance in the future.Design/methodology/approach– The research is based on searching keywords in databases of ISI Web of Science (WOS). Survey data covers the period from 1995 to 2013, with 124 journals and 347 articles. The authors are committed to finding the number of publications and times cited in the field of behavioral finance to measure the contribution of active researchers.Findings– More research papers in behavioral finance are emerging, making it a significant area of study. Most of the papers can be classified as empirical or theory. The number of papers in the review class should be increased to assist scholars and professionals in understanding behavioral finance and its application. A number of personal and institutional main contributors have been making a considerable impact on the field of behavioral finance. With the vigorous development of financial markets all around the world, more and more scholars are becoming involved in behavioral finance research.Research limitations/implications– Articles published earlier than 1995 or not included in the WOS database cannot be included in the research; however, this does not diminish the contribution of older scholars in any way. Moreover, the research does not include non-SCI/SSCI articles.Originality/value– Unlike a traditional literature review, which classifies and elaborates different research paths (Subrahmanyam, 2007), the research adopts the ISI WOS database as a tool for analysis. This new literature review methodology enables us to systematically consolidate and analyze papers in behavioral finance.
Translational shaking tests achieved on a 6-DOF hydraulic parallel manipulator
Authors: Yao Jianjun , Zhang Le , Chen Shuo , Wan Zhenshuai , Wang Tao , Niu Qingtao 
Published: January 2016

Purpose
– The paper aims to achieve translational shaking tests on a 6-DOF hydraulic parallel manipulator. Shaking tests are commonly performed on shaking tables, which are generally used for small motion ranges and are usually financially costly. The research is required to generate shaking motions in three translational directions for a specimen for shaking tests, but it also needs to produce 6-degree of freedom (DOF) motions with large motion ranges.

Design/methodology/approach
– A hydraulic 6-DOF (degree of freedom) parallel manipulator is applied to achieve this goal. The link-space control is adopted for the manipulator, and PID controller and feed-forward controller are used for each loop of the system. A hybrid reference signal generator is proposed by using a shaking controller, which is developed to convert the shaking motion into position signal. The converted result is directly added to the pose signal. The whole real-time control system is realized by using MATLAB xPC Target.

Findings
– The developed method is verified on the hydraulic 6-DOF parallel manipulator with specimen. Experiments show very promising results that the proposed technology is really applicable to perform translational shaking tests on the hydraulic parallel manipulator.

Originality/value
– A simple yet efficient solution is proposed that allows shaking tests in three translational directions performed on the hydraulic 6-DOF parallel manipulator with wide motion ranges. The paper presents a state-of-the-art related to the applications of parallel robots in several fields of technology.
The effects of announcement of green policies on equity portfolios
Authors: Ramiah Vikash , Morris Thomas , Moosa Imad , Gangemi Michael , Puican Louise 
Published: January 2016

Purpose
– This paper aims to investigate the impact of 75 announcements of environmental policies on British equities over the period 2003 to 2012. In particular, the research has the following specific objectives: finding out whether there is wealth creation/destruction for investors as a result of the announcements of green policies and identifying changes in risk structure following the introduction of green policies.

Design/methodology/approach
– Using event study methodology and non-parametric tests, the authors attempt to find out whether announcements of environmental/sustainability policies are value constructive or destructive for equity investors. The CAPM is fitted with interaction variables to measure the change in systematic risk following announcements.

Findings
– The results show that the UK market is particularly sensitive to domestic, international and nuclear announcements. Cumulative abnormal returns in the range of 30-40 per cent were recorded in certain sectors. Consistent with the emerging literature, the authors observe that environmental policies induce changes in the systematic risk of businesses, both in the short run and the long run.

Originality/value
– To the best of authors’ knowledge, the literature does not provide any answer as to how the risk and return of British equity portfolios change following the announcement of green policies in the aftermath of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change. Furthermore, the literature does not differentiate among various categories of announcements (domestic, international and nuclear). Therefore, this paper bridges the gap in the literature on these two grounds.

Today, the three companies have combined revenues of $200 billion and an aggregate workforce of some 780,000 employees. A downturn might make growth more difficult in the initial stages. However, it may also ensure that the company focuses on what it is critical to its survival thus laying the foundations for long-lasting success.

Practical implications
– The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Originality/value
– The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
Surface defect detection for high-speed rails using an inverse P-M diffusion model
Authors: He Zhendong , Wang Yaonan , Yin Feng , Liu Jie 
Published: January 2016

Purpose
– When using a machine vision inspection system for rail surface defect detection, many complex factors such as illumination changes, reflection inequality, shadows, stains and rust might inevitably deform the scanned rail surface image. This paper aims to reduce the influence of these factors, a pipeline of image processing algorithms for robust defect detection is developed.

Design/methodology/approach
– First, a new inverse Perona-Malik (P-M) diffusion model is presented for image enhancement, which takes the reciprocal of gradient as feature to adjust the diffusion coefficients, and a distinct nearest-neighbor difference scheme is introduced to select proper defect boundaries during discretized implementation. As a result, the defect regions are sufficiently smoothened, whereas the faultless background remains unchanged. Then, by subtracting the diffused image from the original image, the defect features will be highlighted in the difference image. Subsequently, an adaptive threshold binarization, followed by an attribute opening like filter, can easily eliminate the noisy interferences and find out the desired defects.

Findings
– Using data from our developed inspection apparatus, the experiments show that the proposed method can attain a detection and measurement precisions as high as 93.6 and 85.9 per cent, respectively, while the recovery accuracy remains 93 per cent. Additionally, the proposed method is computationally efficient and can perform robustly even under complex environments.

Originality/value
– A pipeline of algorithms for rail surface detection is proposed. Particularly, an inverse P-M diffusion model with a distinct discretization scheme is introduced to enhance the defect boundaries and suppress noises. The performance of the proposed method has been verified with real images from our own developed system.
A kind of infrared expand depth of field vision sensor in low-visibility road condition for safety-driving
Authors: Wang Hui-Feng , Wang Gui-ping , Wang Xiao-Yan , Ruan Chi , Chen Shi-qin 
Published: January 2016

Purpose
– This study aims to consider active vision in low-visibility environments to reveal the factors of optical properties which affect visibility and to explore a method of obtaining different depths of fields by multimode imaging.Bad weather affects the driver’s visual range tremendously and thus has a serious impact on transport safety.

Design/methodology/approach
– A new mechanism and a core algorithm for obtaining an excellent large field-depth image which can be used to aid safe driving is designed and implemented. In this mechanism, atmospheric extinction principle and field expansion system are researched as the basis, followed by image registration and fusion algorithm for the Infrared Extended Depth of Field (IR-EDOF) sensor.

Findings
– The experimental results show that the idea we propose can work well to expand the field depth in a low-visibility road environment as a new aided safety-driving sensor.

Originality/value
– The paper presents a new kind of active optical extension, as well as enhanced driving aids, which is an effective solution to the problem of weakening of visual ability. It is a practical engineering sensor scheme for safety driving in low-visibility road environments.
A King of Jerusalem in England: The Visit of John of Brienne in 1223
Authors: Perry Guy 
Published: January 2016

AbstractIn the autumn of 1223, John of Brienne paid a brief visit to England. This is unique, since it represents the one and only visit to England by a king of Jerusalem who was not entirely titular (that is, during the actual lifetime of the kingdom in the mainland Levant, from 1100 to 1291). This article will take John's visit as the centrepiece for a broader discussion of the impact that the king had on England, and vice versa, surveying the period from the late 1210s to the early 1230s. The article concludes that whilst the visit was something of an anomaly, it cannot be written off as a mere curiosity. It takes its place as one of a myriad of ways in which England was stitched into the very fabric of Latin Christendom in the first half of the thirteenth century, during the ‘golden age’ of crusading.
Preparing for a Future War: Pre‐War Planning in the British Post Office, 1918–1939
Authors: Crowley Mark J. 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThe First World War had brought Britain's largest employer, the Post Office, into the forefront of the war effort. Not only was it a major force in the nation's communications during the war, but it was also the single largest employer of women. When the government began planning for a future war effort, the centrality of the Post Office to these plans was a subject of heated and controversial debates. The mobilization of sufficient ‘manpower’ and the protection of its staff were its chief concerns. This article will examine the nature of the Post Office plan for a future war, and explain how and why this created both tension between the government, and a greater recognition for the need for collaboration between all government departments in the national interest.
Embodying analysis: the body and the therapeutic process
Authors: Martini Salvatore 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThis paper considers the transfer of somatic effects from patient to analyst, which gives rise to embodied countertransference, functioning as an organ of primitive communication. By means of processes of projective identification, the analyst experiences somatic disturbances within himself or herself that are connected to the split‐off complexes of the analysand. The analysty’s own attempt at mind‐body integration ushers the patient towards a progressive understanding and acceptance of his or her inner suffering.Such experiences of psychic contagion between patient and analyst are related to Jung’s ‘psychology of the transference’ and the idea of the ‘subtle body’ as an unconscious shared area. The re‐attribution of meaning to pre‐verbal psychic experiences within the ‘embodied reverie’ of the analyst enables the analytic dyad to reach the archetypal energies and structuring power of the collective unconscious. A detailed case example is presented of how the emergence of the vitalizing connection between the psyche and the soma, severed through traumatic early relations with parents or carers, allows the instinctual impulse of the Self to manifest, thereby reactivating the process of individuation.
Working with chronic and relentless self‐hatred, self‐harm and existential shame: a clinical study and reflections
Authors: Austin Sue 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThis paper is the first of a two‐part series which explores some of the theoretical and experiential reference points that have emerged in my work with people whose relationship to their body and/or sense of self is dominated by self‐hatred and (what Hultberg describes as) existential shame. The first paper focuses on self‐hatred and the second paper focuses on shame. This first paper is structured around vignettes taken from a 14‐year analysis with a woman who was bulimic, self‐harmed and repeatedly described herself as ‘feeling like a piece of shit’. It draws together elements of Jung's concepts of the complex and symbol, and Laplanche's enigmatic signifier to focus on experiences of ‘inner otherness’ around which we are unconsciously organized. It also brings Jung's understanding that emotion is the chief source of consciousness into conversation with Laplanche's approach to the transference which is that by being aware that they do not ‘know’, the analyst provides a ‘hollow’ in which the patient's analytic process can evolve. These combinations of ideas are linked speculatively to emerging understandings of the neuroscience of perception and throughout the paper clinical material is used to illustrate these discussions.
Synchronistic mind‐matter correlations in therapeutic practice: a commentary on Connolly (2015)
Authors: Atmanspacher Harald , Fach Wolfgang 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThis commentary adds some ideas and refinements to the inspiring discussion in a recent paper by Connolly () that makes use of a dual‐aspect framework developed by us earlier. One key point is that exceptional experiences (of which synchronicities are a special case) cannot in general be identified with experiences of non‐categorial or acategorial mental states. In fact, most exceptional experiences reported in the literature are experiences of categorial states. Conversely, there are non‐categorial and acategorial states whose experience is not exceptional. Moreover, the psychodynamics of a synchronistic experience contain a subtle mesh of interacting processes pertaining to categorial, non‐categorial and acategorial domains. We outline how this mesh may be addressed in particular cases of synchronicity described by Connolly.
Medicare Payment and Hospital Provision of Outpatient Care to the Uninsured
Authors: He Daifeng , Mellor Jennifer M. 
Published: January 2016

ObjectiveTo describe the amount of hospital outpatient care provided to the uninsured and its association with Medicare payment rate cuts following the implementation of Medicare's Outpatient Prospective Payment System.Data Sources/Study SettingWe use hospital outpatient discharge records from Florida from 1997 through 2008.Study DesignWe estimate multivariate regression models of hospital outpatient care provided to the uninsured in separate samples of nonprofit and for‐profit hospitals.Principal FindingsHospital outpatient departments provide significant amounts of care to the uninsured. As Medicare payment rates fall, total charges and the share of charges for outpatient visits by the uninsured decrease at nonprofit hospitals. At for‐profit hospitals, the share of outpatient care provided to uninsured patients increases, but there is no significant change in the number of uninsured discharges.ConclusionsNonprofit and for‐profit hospitals respond differently to reductions in Medicare payments; thus, studies of the impact of legislated Medicare payment cuts on care of the uninsured should account for differences in hospital ownership in communities. Given that outpatient care to the uninsured includes preventive and diagnostic care procedures, reductions in this care following payment cuts may adversely affect long‐run health and health care costs in communities dominated by nonprofit hospitals.
Assemblage of aquaticHeteroptera (Gerromorpha andNepomorpha) in relation to microhabitats in thePhongRiver,NortheastThailand
Authors: Suksai Benjamart , Sangpradub Narumon , Zettel Herbert 
Published: January 2016

AbstractIn this study, we explored the composition and assemblage structure of aquaticHeteroptera from 15 sampling sites along thePhongRiver,Thailand, during the rainy (July 2011), cool (December 2011) and hot (March–April 2012) seasons. A total of 8399 individuals, belonging to 54 species and 12 families of aquaticHeteroptera were recorded. TheKruskal–Wallis test indicated significant difference in total number of species and total number of individuals of aquaticHeteroptera among microhabitat types (P< 0.05). Stepwise multiple regression and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) ordination show that characteristics of microhabitats including percentage of gravel, percentage of aquatic macrophytes covering the water surface and percentage of shading from riparian vegetation determine aquaticHeteroptera assemblage structures. From this study, microhabitats have more effect on aquaticHeteroptera than water pollution.
