IntroductionBehavioral inhibition during early childhood is one of the strongest risk factors for the development of later anxiety disorders. Recently developed in-person interventions that target both young children who are highly inhibited and their parents (e.g., the Turtle Program), have decreased children's anxiety and have increased social participation in the peer group. However, researchers have yet to examine the effects of intervention mode of delivery. In the present study, we compared the pre-to post-intervention changes in child and parenting functioning of families participating in the Turtle Program, delivered in-person and online with those changes made in families allocated to a waiting-list condition; compared session attendance, homework completion and satisfaction with the intervention outcomes of families involved in the Turtle Program, delivered in-person and online; and explored the predictive role of parenting and child factors in session attendance, homework completion and satisfaction with the outcomes of families involved in the Turtle Program, depending on the mode of delivery (in-person vs. online).MethodFifty-seven parents of highly inhibited preschoolers (3–5 years), with no diagnosis of selective mutism or developmental disorders, who were randomly allocated to waiting-list (n = 20), Turtle Program delivered in-person (n = 17) and online (n = 20) conditions completed the Portuguese versions of the Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire, the Preschool Anxiety Scale, the Social Behavior and Competence Scale, the Modified Child-Rearing Practices Questionnaire at pre- and post-intervention assessment. Parents also completed the Preschool Shyness Study Satisfaction Survey at post-intervention assessment.ResultsIndependent of intervention mode of delivery, generalized equation estimates revealed a reduction in children's total anxiety symptoms and an improvement in parental nurturing behaviors. Child anxiety and social competence at pre-assessment were the most prominent predictors of session attendance and satisfaction with post-intervention child and parenting outcomes.DiscussionOverall, this study showed that parents in both intervention conditions perceived comparable positive changes in child functioning from pre- to post-intervention assessment and similar levels of session attendance, homework completion, and satisfaction. Significantly, however, perceived satisfaction with post-intervention child and parenting outcomes was higher, when children were reported to display higher SEL skills at baseline, independent of the intervention mode of delivery.

Published: May 2023

IntroductionThe hippocampus and striatum have dissociable roles in memory and are necessary for spatial and procedural/cued learning, respectively. Emotionally charged, stressful events promote the use of striatal- over hippocampus-dependent learning through the activation of the amygdala. An emerging hypothesis suggests that chronic consumption of addictive drugs similarly disrupt spatial/declarative memory while facilitating striatum-dependent associative learning. This cognitive imbalance could contribute to maintain addictive behaviors and increase the risk of relapse.MethodsWe first examined, in C57BL/6 J male mice, whether chronic alcohol consumption (CAC) and alcohol withdrawal (AW) might modulate the respective use of spatial vs. single cue-based learning strategies, using a competition protocol in the Barnes maze task. We then performed in vivo electrophysiological studies in freely moving mice to assess learning-induced synaptic plasticity in both the basolateral amygdala (BLA) to dorsal hippocampus (dCA1) and BLA to dorsolateral striatum (DLS) pathways.ResultsWe found that both CAC and early AW promote the use of cue-dependent learning strategies, and potentiate plasticity in the BLA → DLS pathway while reducing the use of spatial memory and depressing BLA → dCA1 neurotransmission.DiscussionThese results support the view that CAC disrupt normal hippocampo-striatal interactions, and suggest that targeting this cognitive imbalance through spatial/declarative task training could be of great help to maintain protracted abstinence in alcoholic patients.

The comparative study focuses on the resilience of small tourism enterprises in coastal and marine tourism in three Baltic Sea countries - Estonia, Finland and Latvia. The research aim is to explore the response of the micro and small-scale tourism enterprises in Estonia, Finland and Latvia to COVID-19 and their development plans in the context of the pandemic. These countries share common strengths and weaknesses in tourism as well as their main tourism resources (e.g., the significance of natural resources), partially overlapping target markets. Data were collected in coastal regions in all three countries by using semi-structured interviews (Estonia N=12, Latvia N=12, Finland N= 5). Additionally, a quantitative data collection tool - a survey (N=51) was used in Finland. The content analysis generated several themes: (1) The ability of an enterprise to adapt to changes; (2) future expectations; (3) educational needs; (4) mind-set changes of entrepreneurs as a result of corona-pandemic and motivation to learn. Results suggest that more than before, coastal entrepreneurs estimate the rationality of decisions and the feasibility of investments. They report the ability to transform the design of tourism services to move towards touchless, digitized solutions as well as present an ability to produce unique service ideas under the pressure of the pandemic. Future expectations are related to the need for intensified cooperation among public and private sectors and different sectors of the economy to ensure entrepreneurial resilience and/or development. Entrepreneurs also stress their expectations regarding public (e.g. in nature areas) infrastructure development. COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to the emergence of business shrinkage strategies and vigilance toward development. The pandemic aggravated the deficit of employees and is directly linked to human resource motivation programs and the lack of resources needed to maintain that. Educational needs reveal several categories of topics entrepreneurs would like to learn about such as marketing, tourism product, and service design, management, and cooperation. The results in the three countries show a lot of similarities, the biggest differences can be seen in the various educational needs, also not in all countries the pandemic increased awareness of the role of cooperation or need to improve the quality of service when facing falling demand.

Abstract
Gallium nitride (GaN) devices inherently offer many advantages over silicon power devices, including a higher operating frequency, lower on-state resistance and higher operating temperature capabilities, which can enable higher power density and more efficient power electronics. Turn-off dV/dt controllability plays a key role in determining common-mode voltage in electrical drives and traction inverter applications. The fast-switching edges of GaN can introduce challenges such as electromagnetic interference, premature insulation failure and high overshoot voltages. In this paper, the device working principle, characteristics and dV/dt controllability of 1.2 kV GaN polarisation superjunction (PSJ) heterostructure FETs (HFETs) are presented. The effect of gate driving parameters and load conditions on turn-off dV/dt are investigated. It is shown that in PSJ HFETs the dV/dt can be effectively controlled to as low as 1 kV μs−1 by controlling the gate, with a minimum increase in switching losses. These results are highly encouraging for the application of the devices in motor drives.

Aim. To determine the possibility of assessing the energy management of municipalities as an in­dicator of differentiation of municipal districts by quality of management in the Leningrad region.Tasks. To describe the energy capacity of the Leningrad region; to assess the impact of energy management as a management practice on the differentiation of municipal districts in terms of management quality; to compare the quality of general management and energy management in municipal districts.Methods. The authors used modern methodology of socio-economic research, including the ap­plication of system and process approaches, the method of comparative analysis.Results. A mismatch was found between the overall quality of management (in terms of assessed results) and the quality of energy management in municipal districts.Conclusions. According to the author's position, the uneven quality of management in munici­pal districts is obvious. The necessity of introducing into the practice of municipal management of the Leningrad region of the Russian Federation (RF) a more responsible approach to solving the problem of improving the energy efficiency of the regional socio-economic system as a goal of energy management, which should be seen as a means to improve the system of public pro­duction (goods and services) and improve the quality of environment and life of the population in the region under study.

Aim. To develop guidelines and instruments of the stimulating monetary policy of the Russian Federation (RF), contributing in the conditions of the sanctions imposed to increase the rate of economic growth and its efficiency.Tasks. Analysis of the state of the Russian economy, the main directions of its further de­velopment and regulation mechanisms; study of the financial potential of the Russian econ­omy (savings and investments) in conditions of closing access to financial markets and to in­ternational payment and settlement systems of developed countries; study of the ongoing monetary policy of Russia, its main components — monetary and fiscal policy, their impact on economic growth; analysis of modern monetary theory, existing views of Russian and for­eign economistsMethods. The authors applied the method of analysis in the process of studying the practice of monetary and fiscal regulation in Russia and abroad, carried out economic analysis. The ar­ticle reflects the research data of Russian and foreign specialists. A systematic approach, which provides for the interdependence of monetary, fiscal policy and macroeconomic regulation of the economy, investment and innovation development, was used.Results. The need to combine the ongoing restraining anti-inflationary monetary policy with a soft budget policy, providing incentives for modernization of enterprises, domestic demand and supply at the expense of targeted budget financing within the adopted state programs of socio-economic, structural and innovative development with reasonable limits of budget deficit and public debt has been established.Conclusions. In a stagflationary environment, it seems appropriate to pursue a strict anti- inflationary monetary policy of the Bank of Russia, restraining credit issuance and stimulat­ing the growth of savings. Closed access of RF residents to financial markets of developed countries with excessive monetary resources, limited opportunities for growth of domestic savings and savings, insufficient inflow of foreign investments due to high risks of Russian residents to foreign markets increases the importance of targeted budget financing in the context of state programs to expand and modernize production, structural reforms and in­novation development. To justify the limits of the deficit of state and municipal budgets and debts, it is necessary to apply the indicators of fiscal gaps. As the key rate of the Bank of Russia decreases, the financial market stabilizes, and the targets of targeted programs are met, budget financing is replaced by private investment, bank and commercial lending.

Aim. To find and argue points of growth of additive manufacturing, as well as to justify the rel­evance and significance of new business models using digital platforms.Tasks. To consider the features of management of digital additive manufacturing; to analyze the reasons for the low rate of additive technology development; to show the prospects of dig­ital development of additive manufacturing; to justify the importance of digital platforms for additive services as a new business model and prove that digital additive manufacturing can be characterized as a system innovation.Methods. General scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, monographic, grouping) were used in the research. The best Russian and world practices, fundamental and applied works of na­tional and foreign researchers, scientists, practitioners in the field of management, digital transformation were studied using the search of relevant research in open sources, both in ge­neral purpose search engines, and in specialized search engines and databases.Results. It is proved that digital additive manufacturing should be regarded as a system in­novation, and its large-scale benefits can be realized if the technology is complemented by va­rious innovations in products, processes and services. From the author's point of view, the po­tential and prospects of a new business model in the online market of additive design and manu­facturing are obvious: a digital platform of additive services for manufacturing parts from various materials.Conclusions. Additive manufacturing plays a vital role in Industry 4.0 because of the shortened cycle time of the lean process and the high degree of decentralization of production processes. Therefore, a systematic approach using digital platforms is required to unlock their capabilities. Customers who require parts produced using this technology can place their designs on a plat­form and find a manufacturing partner based on available technical resources, geographic loca­tion, and the amount of anticipated cost. Implementing a digital platform design strategy that integrates all stages of the design and production process for different products, facilitates data traceability and product reproducibility on different additive manufacturing machines, greatly increases customer value.

يواجه الأفراد ذوي الإعاقة البصرية صعوبات فائقة في ممارسة سلوكيات حياتهم، وذلك بسبب طبيعة علاقتهم الضعيفة مع المجتمع، نتيجة فقدان الوسيط الحسي الأساس المهم للتعامل مع المثيرات البصرية واكتساب المعرفة، وهو حاسة الإبصار، مما يدفعهم لبذل جهود كبيرة ويعرضهم للإجهاد العصبي والتوتر النفسي، فضلا عن مشاعر انعدام الأمن والارتباك تجاه مواقف الحياة عموماً (القريطي،201:1996).
كما ان اكتساب المهارات الاجتماعية اللازمة لتحقيق الاستقلالية والشعور بالاكتفاء الذاتي لا يكون بالصورة المطلوبة لدى المكفوفين، وذلك لمحدودية قدرتهم على الحركة، وعدم تمكنهم من ملاحظة سلوك الآخرين وأنشطتهم وتعبيراتهم الوجهية كالرضا والغضب والعبوس وغيرها، وتقليد هذه السلوكيات او محاكاتها والتعلم منها، مما يجعل خبراتهم محدودة مما يؤدي الى مشكلات مثل السلبية والاعتمادية (الحديدي،1996 :36).
Optimal Querying for Communication-efficient ADMM using Gaussian Process Regression
Authors: Duarte Vera Tudela Aldo , Nghiem Truong , Wei Shuangqing 
Published: May 2023

<p>In distributed optimization schemes consisting of a group of agents connected to a central coordinator, the optimization algorithm often involves the agents solving private local proximal minimization sub-problems and exchanging data frequently with the coordinator to solve the global distributed problem. Such schemes usually cause excessive communication costs to the system, leading to the need for communication reduction for scenarios where communication is costly. The integration of Gaussian Processes (GPs) as a learning component to the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM hase been proven successful in learning each agent’s local proximal operators. Consequently, such a learning technique is effective to reduce the communication between the agents and the coordinator. A key element for the integration of GP in the ADMM algorithm is the mechanism upon which the coordinator decides when communication with an agent is required. The decision strategy used in this setting strongly affects the overall communication expenditure reduction and the ADMM’s algorithm performance. For that reason, we construct a general framework presenting a systematic querying mechanism as an optimization problem that balances the ideas ofmaximizinge the communication cost reduction while minimizing the prediction error. Motivated by such a framework, we propose different query strategies using the uncertainty measurement given by GP, to determine if the prediction is reliable enough to skip a communication round. We propose a joint query strategy following a simplification of the general framework that minimizesana L1 norm communication cost constraint by the trace of the joint uncertainty of the ADMM variables which is calculated using all agents’ prediction uncertainty. Additionally, we derive three different decision mechanisms (motivated by a confidence interval analysis) that make their decision by analyzing an uncertainty measurement for each agent individually. We integrate multiple measures to quantify the trade-off between the communication cost reduction and the optimization solution’s accuracy/optimality. The proposed methods can achieve significant communication reduction and good optimization solution accuracy for distributed optimization, as demonstrated by extensive simulations of a distributed sharing problem with quadratic cost functions for the agents. </p>
Small-Signal Stability Enhancement of Power Grids via Optimally Coordinating Inverter-Based Resources
Authors: Yuan Hui , Li Zhiyi , Li Shiyang , Gao Huisheng 
Published: May 2023

<p>The growing penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs) that synchronize with the power grid through phase-lock loops (PLLs) has caused a set of small-signal stability issues. Commonly, these issues can be addressed by refining controllers’ design of IBRs, which however fails to be effective when power grids are operating under critical conditions. To this end, this paper presents a novel optimization model for coordinating active power outputs (i.e., operation adjustment) of IBRs while satisfying small-signal stability constraints (SSSCs). In particular, SSSCs are formulated based on a new metric that quantifies the small-signal stability from the viewpoint of grid strength, which is especially suitable for those “black-boxed” IBRs. To reduce the problem-solving complexity due to the inherent discontinuity and nonlinearity, a sequential solution approach is proposed to decompose the original optimization problem into a sequence of sub-optimization problems (SOPs). Also, a dynamical-region-adjustment method and a convex-relaxing method are integrated to ensure the existence of feasible solutions and further enhance the solution efficiency. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is verified based on a 11-IBR test power system. </p>
