The Role of Cognitive Processes in Social Anxiety Risk for Problematic Drinking

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Alcohol consumption peaks in university and is tied with numerous and often severe negative alcohol-related consequences (NACs) (e.g., blacking out; unplanned sex). Social anxiety (SA) is highly comorbid with alcohol use disorders in later adulthood, yet during the undergraduate years the link is less clear. On the one hand, those high in SA may use alcohol to relieve tension in anxiety-provoking social situations. On the other, they may be particularly attentive to potential NACs (e.g., saying regretful things) and avoid drinking. This theoretical complexity is reflected by a mixed empirical literature, with evidence for positive, negative, and null associations between SA and problematic drinking. Despite research efforts to elucidate this pathway to problematic drinking, how risk unfolds and who high on SA is at risk remain unclear. The primary goal of this dissertation was to clarify SA risk for problematic drinking. To meet this goal, in-the-moment cognitions and key moderators were incorporated into models of risk. Study 1 sought to investigate the interactive effects of SA, impulsivity, and mood on positive alcohol-related cognitions, as they unfold in-the-moment during a drinking episode. It was hypothesized that when in an anxious (vs. neutral) mood, and following a priming dose of alcohol, those high on SA and impulsivity would activate positive alcohol-related cognitions (i.e., tension reduction, social facilitation). In partial support of hypotheses, following a priming dose of alcohol, those high on SA and impulsivity activated social facilitation and enhancement (but not tension reduction) alcohol-related cognitions. Surprisingly, this effect was observed in the neutral but not anxious mood condition. The second study tested individual subjective evaluations of NACs as moderating SA risk for problematic drinking. It was hypothesized that individuals high on SA who evaluate NACs less negatively would be at risk for experiencing NACs but not drinking heavily. Supporting the hypothesis, those high on SA demonstrated risk for experiencing NACs if they evaluated these consequences to be less negative. The findings contribute to a mixed but evolving picture of SA risk pathways to problematic drinking. In addition to advancing extant theoretical models, results have clinical implications for interventions targeting SA-motivated undergraduate drinking.
Techno-Economic Investigation Using Several Metaheuristic Algorithms for Optimal Sizing of Stand-Alone Microgrid Incorporating Hybrid Renewable Energy Sources and Hybrid Energy Storage System

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Increasing energy demand worldwide has resulted in more penetration of renewable sources for developing non-polluted electric energy despite their prices are not economically competitive to traditional generation systems due to intermittent nature of renewable resources. Energy storage systems are used to counteract the intermittent nature of renewable sources. Therefore, the optimal sizing and design of stand-alone renewable generating systems is a significant concern to get a more cost-effective system. This paper focuses on achieving the optimum design and size of a microgrid to meet the load requirements and reducing the total cost including capital, investment, operational and maintenance costs. For this aim, the sizing problem is formulated to be solved using three well-known metaheuristic algorithms, namely, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Cuckoo Search Optimization (CSO). The employed microgrid comprises hybrid renewable energy sources of PV/Wind systems integrated with a hybrid energy storage system of Battery and FC/Electrolyzer set for supplying AC loads located in Zafarana, Egypt. On the basis of real meteorological data of the studied location, the produced energies from the renewable sources are estimated using MATLAB developed algorithms. The simulation results showed that the optimized design using CSO can robustly and efficiently yield the optimal design of a microgrid.

Incidence and immediate management of genitourinary injuries in pelvic and acetabular trauma: a 10‐year retrospective study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To report the incidence of genitourinary ( GU ) injuries in pelvic and acetabular (P + A) fractures, to investigate associations between P + A fractures and GU injury patterns, and, as a secondary objective, to evaluate prospectively P + A fracture referrals with regard to adherence to the British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma ( BOAST ) guidelines over a 12‐month period. Methods A retrospective review of GU injuries associated with P + A fractures was performed for the period January 2006 to December 2016 in a national pelvic trauma centre in Ireland. Patient demographics, mechanism of injury and details of injuries were recorded. In addition, P + A fracture referrals were prospectively monitored in 2016 and reviewed for adherence to guidelines. Results The incidence of urological trauma in P + A fractures was 2.4% ( n = 28/1 141). The median (range) patient age was 45 (19–85) years and the male to female ratio was 2.1:1. Urethral injuries occurred most frequently ( n = 12, 43%), followed by bladder ( n = 9, 32%), combined bladder and urethral ( n = 3, 11%) and kidney ( n = 4, 14%). Bladder and urethral injuries were associated with high‐energy pelvic trauma. Renal injuries were associated with acetabular fractures in isolation and in combination with pelvic trauma ( P = 0.01). In 2016, there were 175 P + A fracture referrals and 19 patients had suspected urotrauma (visible haematuria, n = 5; non‐visible haematuria, n = 2; trauma imaging, n = 11); 9 of these 19 patients had no urological investigations performed. Conclusion In P + A trauma cases GU injuries may be underreported because of inadequate evaluation and diagnostic investigations in these patients. We advocate robust, uniform and guideline‐based evaluation of GU injuries in P + A trauma to avoid the significant long‐term morbidities that are associated with misdiagnosis.
Effect of nutrients sprays on growth, yield and fruit quality of apple under cold desert condition of Himachal Pradesh

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The on farm trial was carried out to study the effect of nutrients sprays on growth, yield and fruit quality of apple cv. Royal Delicious under cold desert condition of Himachal Pradesh. Treatments comprised spray of boric acid (0.1%), urea (0.5%), boric acid (0.1%) + urea (0.5%), multiplex (250 ml/100 litre of water) and no use of nutrients (water spray). The highest growth in terms of shoot length was observed with spray of urea at 0.5% and the highest fruit set and yield were recorded with boric acid (0.1%) + urea (0.5%) followed by boric acid at 0.1%. The lowest growth, fruit set and yield were observed with control. The combination of boric acid (0.1%) + urea (0.5%) resulted in the highest fruit length, breadth and weight. The highest total soluble solids were recorded with boric acid 0.1% and the reducing and total sugars were the highest with control. The acidity was found maximum while total soluble solids, reducing and total sugars were recorded lowest with spray of urea 0.5%. The treatment comprising of boric acid (0.1%) + urea (0.5%) proved to be best in terms of fruit set, yield and quality parameters of apple followed by boric acid at 0.1% concentration.
Clinical and Immunologic Effects of Recombinant Leukocyte A Interferon in Eight Patients With Advanced Cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The clinical and immunologic effects of a biosynthetic human leukocyte interferon, recombinant leukocyte A interferon (IFL-rA), are reported in eight patients with advanced cancer. Single escalating doses from 3 X 10(6) units to 198 X 10(6) units were given by intramuscular injection in a phase I study. Major toxic effects included pyrexia, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Data on the effects of IFL-rA on lymphocyte subpopulations and peripheral blood mononuclear-cell surface beta 2-microglobulin are presented. Four of eight patients had objective tumor regression, indicating that further investigation of this biologically active material is warranted.
Evaluating Combined Load Forecasting in Large Power Systems and Smart Grids

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

We present here a combined aggregative short-term load forecasting method for smart grids, a novel methodology that allows us to obtain a global prognosis by summing up the forecasts on the compounding individual loads. More accurately, we detail here three new approaches, namely bottom-up aggregation (with and without bias correction), top-down aggregation (with and without bias correction), and regressive aggregation. Further, we have devised an experiment to compare their results, evaluating them with two datasets of real data and showing the feasibility of aggregative forecast combinations for smart grids.
Data structure and working logic of scalable geographic multicast scheme in flying ad-hoc networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A Flying Ad-hoc Network (FANET) is a wireless ad-hoc network specifically designed for the communication of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Multicast routing is one of the vital aspects in wireless ad-hoc networks. Research works have been proposed to tackle the challenges in multicast routing in ad-hoc network environments with multi-hop communication. Nevertheless, the conventional multicast routing mechanisms incur excessive control messages overhead when a large number of nodes experience frequent topological changes. A scalable geographic multicast routing mechanism, which specially require localized operation, and reduced overheads, are necessary. Multicast routing in FANETs is extremely challenging because of dynamic topology changes and network disconnection resulted from frequent mobility of nodes. In this paper, we present the data structure and scenario-based working logic description of a scalable and predictive geographic multicast routing mechanism in FANETs. In cases of uniform as well as random deployment scenarios, the evaluation result has revealed that when the communication range increases, the number of one-hop predicted forwarders to the source also increases.

Inhibition of interleukin 6 signalling and renal function: A Mendelian randomization study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Inhibition of interleukin 6 (IL‐6) signalling has been proposed as a potential cardioprotective strategy for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the direct effects of IL‐6 inhibition on renal function are not known. A Mendelian randomization (MR) study was performed to investigate the association of genetically proxied inhibition of IL‐6 signalling with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), CKD and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Inverse‐variance weighted MR was used as the main analysis, with sensitivity analyses performed using simple median, weighted median and MR‐Egger methods. There was no evidence for an association of genetically proxied inhibition of IL‐6 signalling (scaled per standard deviation unit decrease in C‐reactive protein) with log eGFR (0.001, 95% confidence interval −0.004‐0.007), BUN (0.009, 95% confidence interval −0.003‐0.021) and CKD (odds ratio 0.948, 95% confidence interval 0.822‐1.094). These findings do not raise concerns for IL‐6 signalling having large adverse effects on renal function.
Distributed Online Convex Optimization Over Jointly Connected Digraphs

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper considers networked online convex optimization scenarios from a regret analysis perspective. At each round, each agent in the network commits to a decision and incurs in a local cost given by functions that are revealed over time and whose unknown evolution model might be adversarially adaptive to the agent's behavior. The goal of each agent is to incur a cumulative cost over time with respect to the sum of local functions across the network that is competitive with the best single centralized decision in hindsight. To achieve this, agents cooperate with each other using local averaging over time-varying weight-balanced digraphs as well as subgradient descent on the local cost functions revealed in the previous round. We propose a class of coordination algorithms that generalize distributed online subgradient descent and saddle-point dynamics, allowing proportional-integral (and higher-order) feedback on the disagreement among neighboring agents. We show that our algorithm design achieves logarithmic agent regret (when local objectives are strongly convex), or square-root agent regret (when local objectives are convex) in scenarios where the communication graphs are jointly connected. Simulations in a medical diagnosis application illustrate our results.
Preliminary Findings with a New Vietnamese Stroop Test

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Stroop performance was compared in primary Vietnamese- vs English-speaking individuals (age range 19–68 years), currently living in the USA. A modified Vietnamese Stroop task mimicked word, color, and interference effects of an English-language Stroop test. Stroop performance (items correctly completed and interference “cost”) did not differ significantly between 30 Vietnamese Americans whose first language was Vietnamese ( M age 34.3 yr.) vs 30 American-born individuals whose first language was English ( M age 31.2 yr.). Expected performance decrements with aging were observed in English-language Stroop performance but not in Vietnamese-language Stroop performance, which instead exhibited a trend towards the opposite pattern. Unexpected group differences associated with age in Stroop performance may reflect subtle differences in task demands, not evident in simple category performance scores, or alternatively, cultural or neuropsychological differences in the study groups.
Vigilantes, Criminal Justice, and Antebellum Cultural Conflict

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter traces, in the social and legal context of the southern, midwestern, and western frontiers, the lethal transition from the nondeadly collective violence (typically floggings) perpetrated by regulator movements in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, to the prolific extralegal hangings of gamblers, alleged slave insurrectionists, horse thieves, and murderers in Mississippi, Iowa, and Wyoming Territory from the mid-1830s through the late 1860s. Furthermore, the chapter looks at the phenomenon of vigilantism and how it operates within the legal context of the period. Vigilantes articulated a preference for criminal justice that privileged local opinion over a neutral commitment to due process law and the rights of the defendant, a stance that rejected an emerging commitment in reformist circles and in the legal culture to the notion of a fair-handed, omnipotent state as arbitrator of community differences and guarantor of individual rights.
A random walk in the literature on criminality: A partial and critical view on some statistical analyses and modelling approaches

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We are interested in the possible contributions of mathematical modelling of crime. We refer to numerous and quite recent papers that analyse and discuss empirical data in an attempt to discover stylised trends worthy of being understood through simple models. We summarise part of this literature and try to understand the reasons of important discrepancies in their conclusions. Then we present some recent modelling attempts that may help to understand the large variance in the statistical-based conclusions.
Preaching and cartooning: An exploration of the processes involved in developing a sermon and a newspaper cartoon

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article explores the similarities and differences between the process followed to develop a sermon and that followed to develop a cartoon. It first examines the representation of the jester or clown in some recent publications by homileticians before describing the process of development of a sermon, as proposed by three homiletic sources from namely North America, South Africa and The Netherlands, respectively. The article describes the process followed in the development of a cartoon in a similar way. The article concludes by presenting some observations on the preacher as cartoonist with reference to the process followed in the development of a cartoon. It argues that the cartoonist may currently be viewed as a metaphor for a preacher that could enrich existing images of the preacher such as the clown or jester, especially because of the similarities in the processes for writing/preparing a sermon and drawing a cartoon.
SERGIO MALDINI AND THE NORTH-EAST OF ITALY

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

La casa a Nord-Est (1991) by Sergio Maldini is an account of the attempts of a middle-aged man from Rome to recover old values and to find the meaning of life and death by buying a house in the southern plains of the region Friuli where he spent his youth. In my article I focus mainly on the presentation of the Friulian community and the dimensions of time and space. The community is presented as a timeless microcosm and has strong ties with its past, when the region was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Time is the continuous thread in the quest of the character. Both time and space play an important part in the contrast between countryside and city.
The Role of Cultural Capital on the Voluntary Contributions to Cultural Goods: A Differential Game Approach

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This study aims to offer a formal analysis which relates provision of cultural goods to the society’s level of cultural capital. Such a level is assumed to already exist in society and is increasable thanks to individual support for the offer of cultural goods. The achievement of the highest levels of cultural capital increases satisfaction coming from cultural goods consumption, and then voluntary contributions. Social approval, deriving from donations, is positively related to society’s existing cultural capital and triggers a positive externality for donators, thus increasing contributions and generating a positive externality for the whole society. The dynamic analysis provided in this study requires the adoption of a differential game where individuals interact, making their choices on their voluntary contribution level. We find that, under certain conditions, the solution obtained for the Nash equilibrium with closed-loop strategies provides optimal level of cultural capital that exceed the Pareto efficient solution obtained through open-loop strategies.
Doppler Radar Occupancy Sensing and Monitoring for Smart Buildings

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Smart buildings promise to adapt environmental conditions to the needs of occupants based on statistical analytics applied to various monitored data. While sensors for accurate monitoring of building parameters such as temperature, lighting, and air-quality abound, currently available occupancy sensors are limited to sensing of presence only, with limited accuracy. Doppler radar sensors have shown great promise for unobtrusive recognition and monitoring of occupant presence, count, activity, and cardiopulmonary vital signs. With such measures, a smart building can optimize operations not only for the most efficient use of energy and space, but also to create healthy and sustainable environments that support occupant wellness, comfort, and productivity. This paper presents an overview of Doppler radar occupancy sensors for smart building applications.
Construction and Characterization of a Deep‐Coverage Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Library for Maize

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Modern cultivated maize ( Zea mays L.)is one of the primary agronomic crops in the USA with an estimated genome size of 2500 megabases (Mb). To develop the resources for positional cloning and structural genomics in maize, we constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for the inbred line B73 using the cloning enzyme Hin d III. The library contains 247 680 clones (645 384‐well plates). A random sampling of 697 clones indicated an average insert size of 136 kilobase (kb) (range = 42 to 379 kb) and 0.4% empty vectors. Screening the colony filters for chloroplast DNA content indicated an exceptionally low 0.18% contamination with chloroplast DNA. Thus, the library provides 13.5 haploid genome equivalents allowing >99% probability of recovering any specific sequence of interest. High‐density filters were gridded robotically using a Genetix Q‐BOT (Hampshire, UK) in a 4 by 4 double‐spotted array on 22.5‐cm 2 filters. Partial screening (6× coverage) of the library with 20 single copy probes identified an average 7.1 positive signals per probe, with a range of 3 to 15 positive signals per probe. To evaluate the utility of the library for sequence tagged connector (STC) analysis, 768 BAC clones were end sequenced in both forward and reverse directions giving a total of 1415 successful reads. End sequences were queried against SWISS‐PROT, Genbank NR, MIPS Arabidopsis , maize genomic sequence dbGSS, and maize cDNA database dbEST. Results in spreadsheet format from these searches is publicly available at the CUGI website ( www.genome.clemson.edu/projects/stc/maize/ZMMBBb/ ).
