The risk and protective factors in the development of childhood social anxiety symptoms among Chinese children
Venue: Psychiatry Research

The aim of this study was to explore the change and associated risk and protective factors of social anxiety symptoms among Chinese children. A 2 year longitudinal study was performed in a general primary and secondary school population in Anhui Province, China including 816 children in grades 3, 4, and 7. Children's social anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Social Anxiety Scales for Children (SASC) at three assessments. The overall prevalence of children's elevated social anxiety symptoms ranged from 15.2% to 16.4% across three assessments. Children's overall mean SASC scores were 5.6 (SD =3.7) 5.3 (SD =3.8) and 5.3 (SD =4.1) at three assessments, respectively, but the difference was not statistically significant. However, children's social anxiety symptom levels and change among different subgroups was not stable across 2 year follow up. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that age, severe family dysfunction, quality of life, positive coping, negative coping, depressive symptoms and self esteem were predictive factors for childhood elevated social anxiety symptoms. The findings suggested that the overall social anxiety symptoms showed a relatively stable pattern over time. The identified risk and protective factors may provide scientific evidence for school, family, and health authorities to conduct necessary intervention.
Contributions of cognitive inflexibility to eating disorder and social anxiety symptoms.
Venue: Eating behaviors

Eating disorders and social anxiety are highly co occurring. These disorders share fears of social evaluation, possibly maintained by similar cognitive content and styles, including an inability to adapt or flexibly respond to unexpected conditions. However, the role of cognitive inflexibility in eating disorders in relation to social anxiety has not been explored.  In this study, the link between eating disorder symptoms and cognitive inflexibility, while accounting for social anxiety, is examined.  Participants (N=461) were undergraduates who completed the Detail and Flexibility Questionnaire 12 item Cognitive Rigidity subscale, the Eating Disorders Diagnostic Scale, and the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale.  Eating disorder symptoms and social anxiety were both positively correlated with cognitive inflexibility. After controlling for social anxiety, the relationship between eating disorder symptoms and cognitive inflexibility remained robust.  Further examination of cognitive inflexibility in eating disorders and comorbid social anxiety in clinical samples is warranted. We suggest future directions for examining cognitive inflexibility as a trans diagnostic construct important to eating disorders and frequently comorbid disorders, consistent with NIMH Research Domain Criteria.
On the Dependency of Cellular Protein Levels on mRNA Abundance
Venue: Cell

The question of how genomic information is expressed to determine phenotypes is of central importance for basic and translational life science research and has been studied by transcriptomic and proteomic profiling. Here, we review the relationship between protein and mRNA levels under various scenarios, such as steady state, long term state changes, and short term adaptation, demonstrating the complexity of gene expression regulation, especially during dynamic transitions. The spatial and temporal variations of mRNAs, as well as the local availability of resources for protein biosynthesis, strongly influence the relationship between protein levels and their coding transcripts. We further discuss the buffering of mRNA fluctuations at the level of protein concentrations. We conclude that transcript levels by themselves are not sufficient to predict protein levels in many scenarios and to thus explain genotype phenotype relationships and that high quality data quantifying different levels of gene expression are indispensable for the complete understanding of biological processes.
Universal Dependencies v1: A Multilingual Treebank Collection
Venue: LREC

Cross linguistically consistent annotation is necessary for sound comparative evaluation and cross lingual learning experiments. It is also useful for multilingual system development and comparative linguistic studies. Universal Dependencies is an open community effort to create cross linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages within a dependency based lexicalist framework. In this paper, we describe v1 of the universal guidelines, the underlying design principles, and the currently available treebanks for 33 languages.
FEEDBACK FEED FORWARD CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN AND OPTIMIZING THE PERFORMANCE OF CRUDE OIL FIRED HEATER FURNACE USING GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR ABNORMAL CONDITIONS MANAGEMENT

March 2016  May 2016 In this study, feedback feedforward control system design and optimizing the performance of crude oil furnace process was investigated in order to recover from possible abnormal conditions. First, by developing an accurate nonlinear analytical model, the effects of changes in input parameters and operating conditions on the system's outputs were determined. Then, in order to eliminate the effects of disturbances on furnace, a feedbackfeedforward control system for combustion management was suggested, where its performances were optimized using genetic algorithm (GA) In addition, to enhance the thermal stability and maintain product quality, output difference temperature control system was considered for load distribution between furnace's streams. Also, in order to recover the furnace from abnormal conditions due to burners' failures, a supervisory system was designed to change the firing rate setpoints. With respect to different failure scenarios, the optimal burners' firing rate was captured by applying genetic algorithms to the system model. A multilayer perceptron neural network was employed as the core of the controller to interpolate between different conditions. The obtained results indicate the superior performances of the designed control systems.
INTEGRATING TRADITIONAL GAMES INTO THE EYL CLASSROOM

Language teachers for young learner need cultural sensitivity as well as the ability to design lesson plan that motivate students to pursue cultural learning and help them communicate with people from different cultures. Yet, it seems to be common practice that foreign language teaching frequently neglects the local cultural awareness, the teacher focuses in enriching vocabularies by using textbook rather than combining it with the traditional games in the classroom. Therefore, this paper presentation will explore the benefit of traditional games and how to integrate it to the classroom. It focuses on the implementation of Indonesia traditional games in English teaching to young learner. The design is created by integrating the materials in the conventional English games into traditional games as a base. This paper will present the importance of traditional games integration into the course, their implementation into the classroom and the impact of traditional games into developing knowledge among students.  language teaching, traditional games, EYL (English for young learner)
Effect of type of encapsulating agent on physical properties of edible films based on alginate and thyme oil

Active edible coatings incorporating antimicrobial agents such as thyme oil are studied to improve the shelf life of fresh foods. The type of encapsulating agents used to microencapsulate the active compound could affect both, emulsions and film's physical properties. The aim was to study the effect of different encapsulating agents (trehalose, b cyclodextrin and Tween 20) on physical and antimicrobial properties of alginate/thyme oil emulsions and films. Physical and antimicrobial characterization of film forming emulsion and films were developed. Results showed differences in rheological behavior, particle size and stability of emulsions by encapsulating type. The highest stability of emulsions containing Tween 20 (instability of 0.69% was attributed to more interactions between components (observed by FTIR) and the lowest particle size, but other samples also showed high stability (instability <5% The stability of emulsions did not correlate with films microstructure indicating that interactions amount components changed when solvent was evaporated. Films containing trehalose and b cyclodextrin had less color and opacity than Tween 20, which is an advantage by industrial applications by coating due cannot affect the organoleptic characteristics of a fresh product. In conclusion, it is important the choice of encapsulating agent in order to use for developing active coatings with potential for applications in fresh food.

Managing Energy Efficiency in the Cloud Computing Environment Using SNMPv3: A Quantitative Analysis of Processing and Power Usage
Venue: 2016 IEEE 14th Intl Conf on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing, 14th Intl Conf on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing, 2nd Intl Conf on Big Data Intelligence and Computing and Cyber Science and Technology Congress(DASC/PiCom/DataCom/CyberSciTech)

In Europe, ICT equipment and services account for 2.5% 4% for EU's carbon emissions. According to the Smart2020 report by the Global e Sustainability Initiative, GeSI (2008) the ICT sector's emissions are expected to increase, from 0.53 billion tonnes (Gt) carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in 2002 to 1.43 GtCO2e in 2020 (in Business As Usual, BAU, scenario) Thus, energy efficiency is a key research area especially in the digital world. The aim of this research is to monitor the hardware and software utilization of processor and to determine its efficiency. In this research, the energy utilization of a server has been observed using SNMPv3 and ways to improve the energy efficiency have been suggested based on the data collected. The power consumption of the system varies with different loads on the host application. Additionally, data is extracted about the CPU state of the server. This allows for a more rigorous comparative analysis and results show that energy efficiency can be improved under different circumstances which will be discussed in this paper.
Light field completion using focal stack propagation
Venue: SIGGRAPH Posters

Both light field photography and focal stack photography are rapidly becoming more accessible with Lytro's commercial light field cameras and the ever increasing processing power of mobile devices. Light field photography offers the ability of post capturing perspective changes and digital refocusing, but little is available in the way of post production editing of light field images. We present a first approach for interactive content aware completion of light fields and focal stacks, allowing for the removal of foreground or background elements from a scene.
Amount of Time to Eat Lunch Is Associated with Children's Selection and Consumption of School Meal Entree, Fruits, Vegetables, and Milk.
Venue: Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

There are currently no national standards for school lunch period length and little is known about the association between the amount of time students have to eat and school food selection and consumption.  Our aim was to examine plate waste measurements from students in the control arm of the Modifying Eating and Lifestyles at School study (2011 to 2012 school year) to determine the association between amount of time to eat and school meal selection and consumption.  We used a prospective study design using up to six repeated measures among students during the school year.  One thousand and one students in grades 3 to 8 attending six participating elementary and middle schools in an urban, low income school district where lunch period lengths varied from 20 to 30 minutes were included.  School food selection and consumption were collected using plate waste methodology. STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED Logistic regression and mixed model analysis of variance was used to examine food selection and consumption.  Compared with meal component selection when students had at least 25 minutes to eat, students were significantly less likely to select a fruit (44% vs 57% P<0.0001) when they had <20 minutes to eat. There were no significant differences in entree, milk, or vegetable selections. Among those who selected a meal component, students with <20 minutes to eat consumed 13% less of their entree (P<0.0001) 10% less of their milk (P<0.0001) and 12% less of their vegetable (P<0.0001) compared with students who had at least 25 minutes to eat.  During the school year, a substantial number of students had insufficient time to eat, which was associated with significantly decreased entree, milk, and vegetable consumption compared with students who had more time to eat. School policies that encourage lunches with at least 25 minutes of seated time might reduce food waste and improve dietary intake.
Quantifying the Association Between Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis
Venue: Journal of the American Heart Association

The relationships between physical activity (PA) and both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have predominantly been estimated using categorical measures of PA, masking the shape of the dose response relationship. In this systematic review and meta analysis, for the very first time we are able to derive a single continuous PA metric to compare the association between PA and CVD/T2DM, both before and after adjustment for a measure of body weight.  The search was applied to MEDLINE and EMBASE electronic databases for all studies published from January 1981 to March 2014. A total of 36 studies (3 439 874 participants and 179 393 events, during an average follow up period of 12.3 years) were included in the analysis (33 pertaining to CVD and 3 to T2DM) An increase from being inactive to achieving recommended PA levels (150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity per week) was associated with lower risk of CVD mortality by 23% CVD incidence by 17% and T2DM incidence by 26% (relative risk [RR] 0.77 [0.71 0.84] (RR, 0.83 [0.77 0.89] and (RR, 0.74 [0.72 0.77] respectively, after adjustment for body weight.  By using a single continuous metric for PA levels, we were able to make a comparison of the effect of PA on CVD incidence and mortality including myocardial infarct (MI) stroke, and heart failure, as well as T2DM. Effect sizes were generally similar for CVD and T2DM, and suggested that the greatest gain in health is associated with moving from inactivity to small amounts of PA.
Association between rates of caesarean section and maternal and neonatal mortality in the 21st century: a worldwide population based ecological study with longitudinal data
Venue: BJOG an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology

Caesarean section was initially performed to save the lives of the mother and/or her baby. Caesarean section rates have risen substantially worldwide over the past decades. In this study, we set out to compile all available caesarean section rates worldwide at the country level, and to identify the appropriate caesarean section rate at the population level associated with the minimal maternal and neonatal mortality.
Reducing consistency in human realism increases the uncanny valley effect; increasing category uncertainty does not
Venue: Cognition

Human replicas may elicit unintended cold, eerie feelings in viewers, an effect known as the uncanny valley. Masahiro Mori, who proposed the effect in 1970, attributed it to inconsistencies in the replica's realism with some of its features perceived as human and others as nonhuman. This study aims to determine whether reducing realism consistency in visual features increases the uncanny valley effect. In three rounds of experiments, 548 participants categorized and rated humans, animals, and objects that varied from computer animated to real. Two sets of features were manipulated to reduce realism consistency. (For humans, the sets were eyes eyelashes mouth and skin nose eyebrows. Reducing realism consistency caused humans and animals, but not objects, to appear eerier and colder. However, the predictions of a competing theory, proposed by Ernst Jentsch in 1906, were not supported: The most ambiguous representations those eliciting the greatest category uncertainty were neither the eeriest nor the coldest.
Total business excellence a new management model for operationalizing excellence

The purpose of this paper is to identify and address the underlying causes of costly quality/ethical problems that have prevented companies to achieve and sustain excellence. More broadly, the study has leveraged data from multiple sources to determine root cause issues and propose a new management model that enables leadership to prevent and effectively address quality/ethical problems by operationalizing excellence. For the purpose of this research, operationalization is defined in terms of developing a sustained culture of excellence and enabling a firm to systematically prevent, detect, and address costly problems in their daily operations.  The study has defined the concept of excellence in terms of measurable results based on ten critical success factors: products, financials, stakeholders, employees, leadership, societal, operational, innovation, alignment, and ethical excellence. To identify and address the underlying causes, this study has used a spiral rese.
The Effects of CEO Characteristics and Incentives on Corporate Social Responsibility

CSR (corporate social responsibility) is defined as corporate integrated responsibilities encompassing the economic, legal, ethical and discretionary (or philanthropic) expectations that the society has of organizations (Carroll, 1979) There has been increasing attention to CSR because responsible business operations have been considered essential to a firm's sustainability. Therefore, over the last few decades, the literature on CSR has identified various factors and motives that lead firms to become involved in social activities (e.g. Aguilera et al. 2007; Chang et al. 2015) For example, some previous studies have noted that slack resources (Waddock and Graves, 1997) firm size (Udayasankar, 2008) stakeholder attribution (Lee et al. 2013) board composition (Johnson and Greening, 1999) and ownership structure (Oh et al. 2011) affect CSR.
A new species of the basal plesiadapiform Purgatorius (Mammalia, Primates) from the early Paleocene Ravenscrag Formation, Cypress Hills, southwest Saskatchewan, Canada: further taxonomic and dietary diversity in the earliest primates

The fossil record of the earliest primates, purgatoriid plesiadapiforms, has become increasingly well documented during the past two decades, but their dietary preferences remain poorly understood. While the available evidence, which consists mostly of isolated teeth and incomplete jaws with teeth, suggests that purgatoriids were insectivorous to omnivorous, we describe here a new species of Purgatorius, Purgatorius pinecreeensis sp. nov. that extends the range of purgatoriid dental disparity toward greater omnivory than had been known before. Purgatorius pinecreeensis sp. nov. from the early Paleocene (Puercan) Ravenscrag Formation of southwestern Saskatchewan, differs from other species of Purgatorius in having slightly lower crowned teeth with a lower trigonid relative to talonid, blunter and more swollen major cusps, more transverse lower molar paracristids, and m3 with a more robustly developed posterior lobe. Taken together, these specializations enhanced the capacity for crushing and grinding at

Third Person Effect of ISIS's Recruitment Propaganda: Online Political Self Efficacy and Social Media Activism

The global rise of ISIS has been attributed by many experts to the extremist group's successful recruiting efforts online. Recognizing the need to curb the terror organization's social media engagement, Western governments have called for greater content restrictions on social media platforms as well as the cooperation of individual citizens in countermessaging ISIS online. This study examines the third person effect regarding ISIS online recruiting and the potential behavioral outcomes that may result from perceived self other gaps. A survey of 1,035 U.S. adults provided support for significant relationships between third person perceptions and support for both restrictive action and social media activism. Study results are discussed in the context of theory building and policy recommendations.
