Abstract:
AbstractCholinesterase inhibitors are currently used in the therapy of different kind of dementia to improve brain memory functions. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitor metrifonate was studied in naive rats and in rats with a model of sodium nitrite-induced hypoxia. One active avoidance test and in two passive avoidance tests were used. In the active avoidance test metrifonate increased the number of avoidances during the learning session only. In both passive avoidance tests, metrifonate prolonged latency differently during the learning session and in short-term or in long-term memory retention. Hypoxic rats showed lower numbers of avoidances in learning and memory retention sessions. Metrifonate increased the number of avoidances during the learning session for hypoxic rats. In the step-through passive avoidance test, metrifonate increased the latency of reactions in the learning session and in long-term memory retention tests. In the step-down passive avoidance test, the groups with hypoxia and metrifonate did not change the latency of reaction in the learning and long-term memory retention sessions, but increased the latency of reactions in the short-term memory retention test. Morphological data showed a significant impaired neuronal structure in a CA1 zone of the hippocampus in hypoxic rats and a tendency to preserving in rats treated with metrifonate. Our results suggest that metrifonate improves cognitive functions in naive and in hypoxic rats.

Abstract:
Background Individuals differ in how they react to stress or trauma through different coping styles in which they may deal directly with a stressor by adopting approach coping styles or disengage with a stressor by utilizing avoidant coping styles. Avoidant coping styles have been linked to adverse outcomes including psychological distress, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Recently, avoidance coping styles as measured by a subset of items on the Brief COPE were found to have a weak positive relationship with performance on a computer-based avatar task which is related to avoidant personality temperaments. This avatar task was developed as an alternative for paper and pencil self-report inventories for measuring avoidant tendencies based on possible response biases of avoidant individuals. In the current study, avoidance and approach coping styles as measured by the Brief Approach/Avoidance Coping Questionnaire (BACQ) were compared to avoidant coping as measured by the Brief COPE and performance on the avatar task. In addition to approach and avoidance coping, the BACQ also measures active avoidance coping (i.e., diversion) and passive avoidance coping (i.e., resignation and withdrawal). The relationships between approach and avoidance coping and performance on the avatar task were also analyzed with the outcome of perceived stress as measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Methods One hundred undergraduates voluntarily completed the BACQ, the Brief COPE, and the PSS. Participants also completed a computer-based task in which they guided an avatar through a series of social situations where they indicated how they would interact with or avoid interacting with strangers. Results Approach coping had a weak negative relationship to avoidance coping as measured by the BACQ and the Brief COPE. Performance on the avatar task had a moderate positive relationship with avoidance coping (diversion as well as resignation and withdrawal) as measured by the BACQ and a moderate negative relationship with approach coping as measured by the BACQ. A model including only approach, diversion, and resignation and withdrawal coping best predicted performance on the avatar task in a linear regression model. While resignation and withdrawal coping and diversion coping had moderate positive relationships to avatar task scores, only resignation and withdrawal had a strong positive relationship to perceived stress. A model than included only resignation and withdrawal coping best predicted perceived stress in a linear regression model. Overall, passive avoidant coping styles (i.e., resignation and withdrawal), but not active avoidant coping style (i.e., diversion), were related to perceived stress. These results support the continued study of multiple aspects of avoidant coping styles as well as the avatar task to increase our understanding of the maladaptive effects of excessive avoidance in the face of stress.

Abstract:
The present study explored the moderating role of household chaos and gender in the relation between social avoidance and social adjustment among Chinese preschool migrant children. Participants were 148 children (82 boys, Mage = 62.63 months, SD = 0.05) from two kindergartens, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China. Multi-source assessments included: (1) mother ratings of children’s social avoidance; (2) mother ratings of families’ household chaos; (3) teacher ratings of children’s prosocial behavior, peer exclusion, interpersonal skills, and internalizing problems. Results showed that social avoidance significantly predicted peer exclusion among Chinese migrant preschoolers. Moreover, household chaos moderated the relationship between social avoidance and social adjustment. Specifically, at higher levels of household chaos, social avoidance was negatively associated with interpersonal skills. In contrast, social avoidance was not associated with interpersonal skills at a lower level of household chaos. In addition, social avoidance was positively associated with peer exclusion among boys but not girls. The current findings inform us of the importance of reducing household chaos to buffer the negative adjustment among socially avoidant young children who migrated from rural to urban China. The findings also highlight the need to pay particular attention to migrant socially avoidant boys’ development in early childhood and the importance of considering the meaning and implication of social avoidance for migrant preschoolers in Chinese culture.

Abstract:
Background One personality type associated with poor health outcomes is distressed (Type D) personality which involves high levels of both social inhibition (SI) and negative affectivity (NA). Type D is also linked to psychopathologies such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, and depression. One mechanism through which personality temperament may result in these psychopathologies is avoidance. Recently, a computer-based measure designed to assess avoidant behaviors, in which the participant guides the behavior of an avatar interacting with strangers in social situations, has been found to be related to various forms of avoidance. In the current study, we extended this work with the avatar avoidance task to determine its relationship to distressed (Type D) personality. We hypothesized that Type D personality, along with SI, but not NA, would be positively related to avatar avoidance scores. We also hypothesized that avatar avoidance scores would be higher in Type D individuals than non-Type D individuals. Methods A total of 302 undergraduates completed the Distressed Type D Personality Scale (DS-14), and a computer-based avatar avoidance task. Results Type D and SI, and NA to a lesser degree, were positively correlated with avoidance scores on the avatar task. Furthermore, regression analyses revealed that Type D and SI scores were best predicted by a model including avoidance scores and education level while NA scores were best predicted by a model including avoidance scores. Standard cut-off scores on the DS-14 scale resulted in four groups (i.e., low SI and NA, high SI, high NA, and Type D) which significantly differed in avoidance scores. Specifically, Type D individuals had higher avoidance scores than the other three groups. Taken together these findings support a role for avoidance in Type D personality. The computer-based avatar avoidance task may be particularly relevant as an ecologically valid measure to identify avoidance in a virtual setting for use with individuals expressing Type D personality who may be unwilling or unable to accurately self-report or describe their own avoidant tendencies.

Abstract The effects of 3R,16S-2-hydroxyethyl apovincaminate (HEAPO, RGH-10885) compared with those of two cholinesterase inhibitors, donepezil and galantamine, were examined in naïve Wistar rats using standard active and passive avoidance tests. The active avoidance test (shuttle box) and two passive avoidance tests (step-through and step-down) were performed according to the experimental design. There were 10 groups of rats (n = 8) and the substances studied were applied orally before each testing session. In the active avoidance test, the number of conditioned stimuli (avoidances), unconditioned stimuli (escapes) and intertrial crossings were observed. In step-down and step-through passive avoidance tests, the latencies of reactions were observed. All the studied compounds showed positive effects in the learning and memory tests, compared to the controls. It was concluded that HEAPO, donepezil and galantamine had a memory-enhancing effect in active and passive avoidance tests.

Abstract:
Attachment shapes people’s experiences in their close relationships and their self-views. Although attachment avoidance and anxiety both undermine relationships, past research has primarily emphasized detrimental effects of anxiety on the self-concept. However, as partners can help people maintain stable self-views, avoidant individuals’ negative views of others might place them at risk for self-concept confusion. We hypothesized that avoidance would predict lower self-concept clarity and that less self-verification from partners would mediate this association. Attachment avoidance was associated with lower self-concept clarity (Studies 1-5), an effect that was mediated by low self-verification (Studies 2-3). The association between avoidance and self-verification was mediated by less self-disclosure and less trust in partner feedback (Study 4). Longitudinally, avoidance predicted changes in self-verification, which in turn predicted changes in self-concept clarity (Study 5). Thus, avoidant individuals’ reluctance to trust or become too close to others may result in hidden costs to the self-concept.

Abstract:
In recent years, with the continuous development of the global economy, multinational corporations allocate resources in various ways to reduce the overall tax burden of the group to achieve the business goal of profit maximization. The transfer pricing method is one of the most common international tax avoidances means used by multinational corporations. Although transfer pricing tax avoidance does not constitute an illegal act in form, in substance, it causes serious capital loss in the host country and infringes on the tax sovereignty of the host country. However, there are still many research gaps in international anti-avoidance regulation, so it is necessary to analyze and recommend the regulation of transfer pricing tax avoidance by multinational companies. This paper introduces a typical case of transfer pricing tax avoidance by Apple, introduces the principles and hazards of transfer pricing tax avoidance, and analyzes the current situation and shortcomings of transfer pricing tax avoidance regulation from three levels: multinational corporations, home countries, and host countries, and then propose suggestions to improve the regulation at the national, multinational corporation and social management levels.

Abstract:
<p>Loyalty programs have become an important element of the modern company and its existence can be noticed in every kind of businesses. The aim with loyalty programs is to win customers loyalty in order to keep them away from the competitors. However, there are some issues existing in creating and maintaining long-term relationships, for instance when consumers choose to decline participation in loyalty programs. A qualitative research method with an inductive approach has been used, by using the interview method CIT to collect the empirical data. 82 open-ended interviews were made with respondents from Sweden and Hungary in order to identify possible differences in loyalty program avoidance between the two countries. Based on the answers, a model with factors that indicates loyalty program avoidance was created, which represent the foundation of the literature review. The result of the study has shown that both similarities and dissimilarities between the nationalities exist, where the major difference is preference of convenience and personal issues. The study indicates that the Swedish consumers tend to reject loyalty program offers for the convenience reasons, in terms of store distance and bad service, while the Hungarian consumers are more concerned about their personal integrity, such as trust and privacy. However, similarities that could be clearly observed were issues with commitment, gaining benefits and struggling with time pressure.</p>

Abstract:
Information Avoidance is the act of purposefully avoiding information that could be deemed as unwanted by a person despite the information being good for them. People tend to avoid information they think will make them feel unwanted emotions, force an undesirable change to their lifestyle, or diminish their self-worth. This study tested whether people who wear activity trackers ever avoid information their tracker provides them. This study concluded that information avoidance is not a frequent occurrence among the respondents in the included sample. However, a few correlations that were found were: the more a person felt bad about negative results the more likely they were to avoid checking their tracker. People enjoy seeing good results better than negative results, so they are more inclined to not look at their tracker when they know the results will not be good. Lastly, many people felt satisfied or proud when they reached their goal, while people felt it not to be emotionally upsetting when they did not reach their goal. According to this study, people appear to be not be emotionally affected by negative information their activity tracker provides, so there is no reason for them to avoid the information. In the few cases where negative emotions were expressed toward negative tracker data, it was more likely the person would partake in information avoidance.

Abstract:
<p>An underlying requirement for any Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is to navigate through unknown or partly unknown environments while performing certain user specified tasks. The loss of an AUV due to collision is unjustifiable both in terms of cost and replacement time. To prevent such an unfortunate event, one requires a robust and effective Collision Avoidance System (CAS). This paper discusses the collision avoidance problem for the HUGIN AUVs. In the first part, a complete simulator for the HUGIN AUV is implemented in matlab and simulink. This includes a 6 degrees-of-freedom nonlinear AUV model, simulated environment including bottom profile and surface ice, navigation- and guidance functionality and sensor simulators. In the second part a number of well known strategies for the collision avoidance problem is presented with a short analysis of their properties. On the basis of the implemented simulator, a proposed CAS is developed and it’s performance is analyzed. This system is based on simple principles and known collision avoidance strategies, in order to provide effective and robust performance. The proposed system provides feasible solutions during all simulations and the collision avoidance maneuvers are performed in accordance with the specified user demands. The developed simulator and collision avoidance system is expected to provide a suitable framework for further development and possibly a physical implementation on the HUGIN AUVs.</p>

Abstract:
The goal of the Master thesis was to construct an obstacle avoidance system. It was the intention that this system can be used as part of a bigger project performed at the lab. The system was implemented and tested for a Pioneer 2DX mobile robot in the lab environment. The positioning of the robot was done with an external ultrasound system provided by the lab. The Digiclops 3D camera from Gray Point research was used for main vision sensor. The code was written in C and implemented in Windows environment. The obstacle avoidance system contains image processing, map building, and control. For control, the Vector Field Histogram theory was studied and implemented. Fixed Decomposition was used to describe the surrounding world. The OAS system was tested for 6 different sets of obstacle environments: a single obstacle, a gate, multiple obstacles, mobile obstacles, a corridor, and a maze. Each set were designed to test the limits of the system. All tests were recorded on video, the position data and the map were saved. In all obstacle sets, the system proved successful. There was no risk for collision and the efficient path planning created a smooth path to the goal.

Abstract:
One of the major limitations on productivity in metal cutting is chatter. Chatter is a form of unstable self-excited vibration which causes poor surface finish, as well as cutter and machine tool damage. The investigation of chatter suppression in milling using continuously variable spindle speed is presented in this thesis. The fundamental mechanism in regenerative chatter is due to favorable phasing between the inner and outer modulations on the chip thickness. In this thesis, the spindle speed is sinusoidally varied to prevent the dynamic cutting process from locking on to a constant phase shift and causing unstable cutting, or chatter. Because of the nonlin-earities and complexities of the process, time domain simulation of the dynamic cutting process has been modelled. The influence of various parameters, such as axial depth of cut, process damping from flank interference, and amplitude and frequency of speed variation have been investigated using the simulation model. The trends predicted by simulation results have been experimentally verified using cutting tests on a milling machine. It has been concluded from simulation and milling tests that a variable spindle speed can partially increase the chatter limit, but can never totally prevent chatter. The variable spindle speed strategy is incorporated into a proposed in-process chatter detection and avoidance algorithm. The milling process is monitored using the sound pressure signal measured by a microphone. When the amplitude of the sound spectrum near the natural frequency exceeds a threshold value, chatter has been detected and the spindle speed is oscillated until stability is regained. The proposed algorithm is implemented on line and experimental results are presented.<br>Applied Science, Faculty of<br>Mechanical Engineering, Department of<br>Graduate

Abstract:
It is thought that experiential avoidance (EA), conceptualised as avoidance of unpleasant mental experiences, lies at the heart of psychopathology. The studies included into this thesis investigated the role of EA in the paranoid process using a range of methodologies (experience sampling, questionnaire and experimental) in patient and nonclinical populations. Part of this thesis explored the dynamic relationships between paranoia, self-esteem and EA using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), a structured diary technique which allows the assessment of symptoms, mood and behaviour in the context of daily life. This thesis also examined the role of early experiences with parents in the paranoid process and explored developmental roots of EA. Finally, it examined the use of avoidant strategies in nonclinical and patient populations using both questionnaire and behavioural measures of EA. The data collected suggest that paranoid individuals are highly intolerant of unpleasant mental states and habitually engage in attempts to avoid them. The results indicate that avoidance may be particularly successful in paranoid patients who believe that their persecution is underserved. There was some evidence that although avoidant strategies may be fruitful when cognitive demands are relatively low, their success is significantly compromised by the additional demands leaving paranoid individuals vulnerable to stress. Finally, the results ofthis thesis also indicate that the roots of EA can be traced to early experiences with parents and suggest that suboptimal parenting may foster EA and paranoid thinking later in life. These results are compatible with the attributional model of paranoia which suggests that persecutory delusions arise a result of dysfunctional attempts to avoid unpleasant thoughts about the self. They highlight the dynamic nature of psychological processes involved in paranoia and suggest that psychological interventions targeting EA may alleviate paranoia. 11

Abstract:
It is a widely assumed principle that organisms reflexively approach possibilities for pleasure and avoid possibilities for pain. However, highly evolved organisms not only reflexively react to future possibilities of pleasure vs. pain, but also evaluate the chance or risk of actually experiencing such possibilities. Given the import of optimism judgments in shaping behavior and other outcomes, the main goal of the current research was to examine the relationship between the rudimentary systems of approach-avoidance that orient us toward possible outcomes in the environment and the higher-order optimism judgments we make when evaluating whether such outcomes are likely to occur. To this end, two experiments examined the impact of approach-avoidance cues in shaping participants' optimism judgments about experiencing positive and negative future life events. For the primary operationalization of approach-avoidance, college student participants engaged in arm flexion (a motor movement associated with approach) or arm extension (a motor movement associated with avoidance) while simultaneously making optimism judgments about experiencing a range of positive and negative events in the future. A secondary operationalization involved correlations computed between participants' chronic personality tendencies related to approach-avoidance (e.g., positive vs. negative affectivity) and their optimism judgments. The results of these experiments revealed complexities in the relationship between approach-avoidance and optimism, suggesting that when, how and why approach-avoidance cues will shape optimism may critically depend upon 1) the specific operationalization of approach-avoidance, 2) how optimism is measured, and 3) characteristics of the outcomes under consideration. Explanations for the complexities in the results are offered, and attempts are made to link the current work to broader theoretical and practical aspects of the connection between approach-avoidance and optimism.

Abstract:
Information is increasingly available at the touch of a button, and yet limits are still present in the ability and willingness of individuals to access that information. These limits can result in information avoidance, a phenomenon in which individuals prefer not to seek or be exposed to information. Nowhere is this phenomenon more evident and more problematic than in health, where information has been linked to better health outcomes, and where the consumer health movement has shifted the responsibility of health information seeking from healthcare professionals to patients. This dissertation examines such health information avoidance, looking in particular at the mechanisms that constitute this phenomenon, and the affective, personality, and information source factors that influence it. Two studies were performed, the first an online survey using the crowdsourcing platform Mechanical Turk for recruitment, and the second a user study in which participants interacted with health information and were then interviewed. Both studies also employed scales such as the Need for Cognition scale, the Threatening Medical Situations Inventory (examining monitoring and blunting styles), and the Positive and Negative Affect short scale. Results indicate that very few people are willing to report practising complete information avoidance. However, numerous participants reported avoiding some information, often through filtering mechanisms such as self-regulation and delegation. This evidence of partial avoidance suggests that information avoidance can be located on a continuum of information seeking behaviours, rather than existing as a simple negation of information seeking. Significant factors that influence the practice of information avoidance were found to include affect such as fear, disgust, and disinterest, all factors that can indicate a threat to the participant. While the personality and information source factors tested were also influential, this work found that for these participants, affective factors often functioned as a primary influence. This work indicates that health information avoidance is a situation-dependent information behaviour, rather than primarily a personality trait as previously claimed. As such, it should be included in models that depict people’s general behavioural patterns with regard to information, such as Wilson’s (1999) General Model of Information Seeking and Johnson’s (1997) Comprehensive Model of Information Seeking.<br>Arts, Faculty of<br>Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS), School of<br>Graduate
