Abstract:
Sustainability of agricutural building's behavior is important characteristic which influence not only expenditure of its design, building and management, but also the choice of housing, working safety, and ease of implementation of these decisions. Models of sustainability assessment suggested in scientific and special literature are based by only several different criteria, so in that way sustainability connot be measured overall. There is no single summarizing indicator which would cover all the aspects of the building's sustainability behavior. The aim of this article is to present methodology for assessment of the agricultural building's sustainability behavior. Presented methodology is based on “Copras” method of multi – criteria evaluation which is build on selected and justified 76 criteria, and they are grouped in 12 parts. It also includes innovative recommendations for the experts‘ assessment for using mentioned criteria.

Abstract:
In order to electrify the transport sector, scores of charging stations are needed to incentivize people to buy electric vehicles. In urban areas with a high charging demand and little space, decision-makers are in need of planning tools that enable them to efficiently allocate financial and organizational resources to the promotion of electromobility. As with many other city planning tasks, simulations foster successful decision-making. This article presents a novel agent-based simulation framework for urban electromobility aimed at the analysis of charging station utilization and user behavior. The approach presented here employs a novel co-evolutionary learning model for adaptive charging behavior. The simulation framework is tested and verified by means of a case study conducted in the city of Munich. The case study shows that the presented approach realistically reproduces charging behavior and spatio-temporal charger utilization.

Abstract:
State-based testing (SBT) is known as deriving test cases from state machines and examining the dynamic behaviour of the system. It helps to identify various types of state-based faults within a system under test (SUT). For SBT, test cases are generated from state chart diagrams based on various coverage criteria such as All Transition, Round Trip Path, All Transition Pair, All Transition Pair with length 2, All Transition Pair with length 3, All Transition Pair of length 4 and Full Predicate. This article discuses a number of coverage criteria at the design level to find out various types of state-based faults in SBT. First, the intermediate graph is generated from a state chart diagram using an XML parser. The graph is traversed based on the given coverage criteria to generate a sequence of test cases. Then, mutation testing and sneak-path testing are applied on the generated test cases to check the effectiveness of the generated test suite. These two are common methods for checking the effectiveness of test cases. Mutation testing helps in the number of seeded errors covered whereas sneak-path testing basically helps to examine the unspecified behavior of the system. In round trip path (RTP), it is not possible to cover all paths. All transition is not an adequate level of fault detection with more execution time compared to all transition pair (ATP) with length 4 (LN4). In the discussion, ATP with LN4 is the best among all coverage criteria. SBT can able to detect various state-based faults-incorrect transition, missing transition, missing or incorrect event, missing or incorrect action, extra missing or corrupt state, which are difficult to detect in code-based testing. Most of these state-based faults can be avoided, if the testing is conducted at the early phase of design.

Abstract:
Statement of the problem. The article analyzes results of the study aimed at studying perceptions of contemporary adolescents about the norms of behavior in society. To conduct the research, we developed a questionnaire consisting of questions about what one can be proud of, what can be considered unworthy and even unacceptable in the behavior of a teenager. The questionnaire was designed in a way to take into account opinion of adolescents themselves, their friends, peers and adults of importance from the environment of minors. The purpose of the article is to provide grounds for the selected criteria on social and normative assessment of adolescent behavior, to share the study results, to analyze them through the prism of personal characteristics of the respondents. The research methodology includes analysis of theoretical materials and research works of foreign and Russian scientists and analysis of experience obtained by specialists working with adolescents to correct their deviant behavior. Despite available in-depth studies of deviance issues (Yu.A. Kleiberg, A.I. Zakharov, I.S.Kon, B.A. Krutetsky, A.G. Kovalev, K. Leongard, A.E. Lichko, I.F. Myagkov, V.N. Myasishchev, I.L. Nevsky, E.Sh. Natanzon, V.S.Stepanov, D.I. Feldshtein, E.G. Eidimiller, V.V. Yustitsky, etc.), there are unresolved issues in terms of perceptions of contemporary adolescents about socially approved behavioral manifestations and assessment of their own behavior and behavior of other people. Research results. Based on the literature analysis, the main criteria for assessing behavioral manifestations were identified. For this, adolescents used the following terms “criminality”, “personal weakness / strength”, “ethics”, “relationships”, “social success / failure”. The study considers various options of personal attitude of adolescents to each of these characteristics. When filling out questionnaires, adolescents chose a description for each of these terms, based on the concepts associated with them. The study resulted in identifying common answers, frequency of their use by adolescents and content analysis of the answers. Conclusion. Based on the results of the study of contemporary adolescents’ perceptions about behavioral manifestations of a person in society, it was revealed that there are deficiencies in understanding and distinguishing the essence of the selected terms. This is evidenced by difficulties in choosing a description of each term. Quantitative indicators demonstrate that the majority of adolescents are characterized by the “I am an adult” position and a hypertrophied desire for independence. Answering the questions about what a person can be proud of, most adolescents emphasize the importance of the category of “relationship” and “social success”. Assessing the category of “ethics” adolescents give specific examples of “anti-ethical norms” and refer this to unacceptable and unworthy behavior. Also, description of the term “criminality” refers to “inadmissibility of actions” by the majority of adolescents. “Criminality” is also described by them in terms of theft, murder, violence, and banditry. Answers to the same questions by adults who are most important in the life of adolescents are of the utmost interest. About half of the adult respondents demonstrated the lack of mature perceptions about behavioral manifestations of a person and criteria for an adequate assessment of the actions of other people.

Abstract:
We consider a nonparametric Generative Tree Model and discuss a problem of selecting active predictors for the response in such scenario. We investigated two popular information-based selection criteria: Conditional Infomax Feature Extraction (CIFE) and Joint Mutual information (JMI), which are both derived as approximations of Conditional Mutual Information (CMI) criterion. We show that both criteria CIFE and JMI may exhibit different behavior from CMI, resulting in different orders in which predictors are chosen in variable selection process. Explicit formulae for CMI and its two approximations in the generative tree model are obtained. As a byproduct, we establish expressions for an entropy of a multivariate gaussian mixture and its mutual information with mixing distribution.

Abstract:
Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to systematically review work site–based, environmental interventions to reduce sedentary behavior following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. Data Source: Data were extracted from Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science between January 2005 and December 2015. Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria: Inclusion criteria were work site interventions, published in peer-reviewed journals, employing environmental modalities, targeting sedentary behavior, and using any quantitative design. Exclusion criteria were noninterventions and non-English publications. Data Extraction: Data extracted included study design, population, intervention dosage, intervention activities, evaluation measures, and intervention effects. Data Synthesis: Data were tabulated quantitatively and synthesized qualitatively. Results: A total of 15 articles were identified for review and 14 reported statistically significant decreases in sedentary behavior. The majority of studies employed a randomized controlled trial design (n = 7), used inclinometers to measure sedentary behavior (n = 9), recruited predominantly female samples (n = 15), and utilized sit-to-stand desks as the primary intervention modality (n = 10). The mean methodological quality score was 6.2 out of 10. Conclusion: Environmental work site interventions to reduce sedentary behavior show promise because work sites often have more control over environmental factors. Limitations of this intervention stream include inconsistent measurement of sedentary behavior, absence of theoretical frameworks to guide program development, and absence of long-term evaluation. Future studies should include clear reporting of intervention strategies and explicit operationalization of theoretical constructs.

Abstract:

Network and system management has always been of concern for telecommunication and computer system operators. The need for standardization was recognised already 20 years ago, hence several standards for network management exist today. However, the ever-increasing number of units connected to networks and the ever-increasing number of services being provided results in significant increased complexity of average network environments. This challenges current management systems. In addition to the general increase in complexity the trend among network owners and operators of merging several single service networks into larger, heterogeneous and complex full service networks challenges current management systems even further. The full service networks will require management systems more powerful than what is possible to realize basing systems purely on todays management standards. This thesis presents a distributed stochastic optimization algorithm which enables implementations of highly robust and efficient management tools. These tools may be integrated into management systems and potentially make the systems more powerful and better prepared for management of full service networks.

Emergent behavior is common in nature and easily observable in colonies of social insects and animals. Even an old oak tree can be viewed as an emergent system with its collection of interacting cells. Characteristic for any emergent system is how the overall behavior of the system emerge from many relatively simple, restricted behaviors interacting, e.g. a thousand ants building a trail, a flock of birds flying south or millions of cells making a tree grow. No centralized control exist, i.e. no single unit is in charge making global decisions. Despite distributed control, high work redundancy and stochastic behavior components, emergent systems tend to be very efficient problem solvers. In fact emergent systems tend to be both efficient, adaptive and robust which are three properties indeed desirable for a network management system. The algorithm presented in this thesis relates to a class of emergent behavior based systems known as swarm intelligence systems, i.e. the algorithm is potentially efficient, adaptive and robust.

On the contrary to other related swarm intelligence algorithms, the algorithm presented has a thorough formal foundation. This enables a better understanding of the algorithm’s potentials and limitations, and hence enables better adaptation of the algorithm to new problem areas without loss of efficiency, adaptability or robustness. The formal foundations are based on work by Reuven Rubinstein on cross entropy driven optimization. The transition from Ruinstein’s centralized and synchronous algorithm to a distributed and asynchronous algorithm is described, and the distributed algorithm’s ability to solve complex problems (NP-complete) efficiently is demonstrated.

Four examples of how the distributed algorithm may be applied in a network management context are presented. A system for finding near optimal patterns of primary/backup paths together with a system for finding cyclic protection paths in mesh networks demonstrate the algorithm’s ability to act as a tool helping management system to ensure quality of service. The algorithm’s potential as a management policy implementation mechanism is also demonstrated. The algorithm’s adaptability is shown to enable resolution of policy conflicts in a soft manner causing as little loss as possible. Finally, the algorithm’s ability to find near optimal paths (i.e. sequences) of resources in networks of large scale is demonstrated.

Abstract:
The current study employed a Monte Carlo design to examine whether samplebased and formula-based estimates of cross-validated R2 differ in accuracy when predictor selection is and is not performed. Analyses were conducted on three datasets with 5, 10, or 15 predictors and different predictor-criterion relationships. Results demonstrated that, in most cases, a formula-based estimate of the cross-validated R2 was as accurate as a sample-based estimate. The one exception was the five predictor case wherein the formula-based estimate exhibited substantially greater bias than the estimate from a sample-based cross validation study. Thus, formula-based estimates, which have an enormous practical advantage over a two sample cross validation study, can be used in most cases without fear of greater error.

Because healthy food products do not have a specific tool used for consumer screening based on consumers’ diet or degree of healthy eating habits, this study aimed to determine a set of questions that could classify consumers who belong in a different status according to the Stages of Change model, including those who have a different diet quality based on their Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score. The surveys were conducted in the United States (US) and Thailand in order to determine applicability to varying countries. The Food Neophobia Scale (FNS), Food Involvement Scale (FIS), and Health and Taste Attitude Scale (HTAS) were included in the questionnaire together with a set of Stages of Change questions and a 7-day, self-administered food recall questionnaire. The HEI interpretation of US and Thai consumer scores illustrated that the majority of both belonged to the Need Improvement group. The Stages of Change model indicated most consumers thought they had healthy diets. According to FNS, FIS, and HTAS, US consumers are more involved in food activities and are more open to trying new foods or unfamiliar foods than Thais. Furthermore, consumers who belong in different groups, according to the Stages of Change model, responded differently to some HTAS subscales. However, statements from FNS, FIS, and HTAS were not capable of distinguishing consumers belonging in different groups according to HEI scores or belonging in different stages according to the Stages of Change Model. Considering all possible methods from those listed above for screening consumers, the Stages of Change model may be the best way to segment consumers interested in healthier eating. Using the Stages of Change required less time and the least effort from consumers because there were only three questions; and interpreting results does not require calculation or analysis.

Abstract:
Personality assessments have a long history in psychology and have become the backbone of the human capital management industry, with the Big-Five model being the most prevalent. The central criticism of personality assessments for employment decisions is validity of responses since applicants for employment often endorse items to make themselves more desirable for hire, referred to as faking behavior. The present study examined faking behavior using the Assess Personality Survey (APS). Using a sample of applicant and incumbent data (N = 8,020), the objective was to identify response difference between applicant and incumbents, and the prevalence of faking behavior in applicants. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to compare groups. Results indicate a clear distinction between applicant and incumbent response patterns. Additional analyses suggest 6 classes of testing patterns among applicants, and results are compared with previous faking identification procedures to improve criteria used to establish faking behavior in respondents.

Abstract:
This study responds to the globally increasing rate of caesarean section, and specifically to the very high rate of elective caesarean section among Taiwanese mothers as evidence suggests that such elective caesareans pose potential health risks for mothers and babies. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a multi-component instrument based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to better understand Taiwanese pregnant women's decisions regarding their childbirth delivery options (spontaneous vaginal delivery or elective caesarean section). The study was a four-phased mixed method design. First, the TPB guided item development and instrument drafting. Second, pretesting and instrument refinement used cognitive interviewing with a small sample of Taiwanese pregnant women. Third, the instrument was administered to 310 such women to examine psychometric properties of the component scales. Fourth, the phase 3 instrument was re-administered to 30 women to estimate item stability. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were used to assess construct validity of the multi-item, multi-component measurement model with LISREL 9.1. Based on the TPB, the 52-item self-administered Childbirth Delivery Options Questionnaire (CDOQ) was developed to measure three components: intention regarding delivery options, attitudes toward delivery options, and perceptions of significant others' (partner, mother, and mother-in-law) feelings about delivery options. Respondents from phase two thought that the items on the CDOQ were easy to read and comprehend; they reported favorably on the wording and formatting. Preliminary item analysis revealed that the items referring to dangerousness of delivery options did not function as intended and were dropped because they did not differentiate between the two delivery options, leaving 36 items. Test-retest reliability indicated that responses to each item were positively correlated and those referring to spontaneous vaginal delivery were more stable than those referring to elective caesarean section. Corrected item-to-total correlations and expected change in Cronbach's alpha if item deleted revealed that four items might form a measure of general social norms associated with the Taiwanese culture. The Cronbach's alphas for the components of the CDOQ ranged from .55 to .89. The measurement model incorporating the design features of the CDOQ fitted the data well using the CFA. Because serious problems with multicollinearity and suppression were revealed, Beckstead's (2012) criterion-irrelevant-variance-omitted (CIVO) regression method was used to untangle the suppressor effects when predicting intention from the other components of the CDOQ. The results indicated that attitude and partner's feelings were significant and explained the bulk of the variance in intentions. The TPB-based instrument developed here will be of considerable use to maternal-child health researchers. The findings of this study suggest that decisions regarding delivery options may be modified by interventions geared toward pregnant women's attitudes within family- and cultural-centered prenatal programs.

Abstract:
The objective of the first study was to determine which combination of bimodal (2-population) distribution models best fit non-feeding interval data to distinguish intervals within (1st population) and between (2nd population) meals in beef cattle fed a corn-based diet. Feeding behavior traits were measured in 119 heifers fed a corn-based diet using a GrowSafe system. Bimodal distribution models were fitted to the log10-transformed interval lengths between bunk visit (BV) events for each animal using Gaussian (G); Weibull (W); Log-Normal; Gamma and Gumbel statistical functions. Criterion (AIC) and likelihood probability estimates. Objectives of the second study were to quantify individual meal criterion and examine the associations between feeding behavior traits, performance, and feed efficiency traits in heifers fed a corn-based diet. Results from study one indicate that the G-W bimodal distribution model is a statistically better fitting and likely a more appropriate model to define meal criterion compared to the standard G-G model used in previous literature. Results from the second study suggest that the meal criterion for heifers fed a corn-based diet is 11.48 min when applying the G-W bimodal model to log-transformed interval lengths between BV events. Moderate phenotypic correlations between feed efficiency (residual feed intake- RFI) and several feeding behavior traits were found. Inclusion of these feeding behavior traits to the base model for RFI accounted for an additional 25% of the variation in DMI not explained by ADG or mid-test BW0.75. Significant (P < 0.05) differences in 11 observed feeding behavior traits between RFI classification groups were also found suggesting that differences in feeding behaviors may contribute to the variation in RFI due to differences in energetic costs related to feeding activities.

Abstract:
The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project grew from recognized deficiencies in currently used diagnostic schemes for mental illness, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). While the latter is based on a series of signs and symptoms of illnesses that can co-occur in groups of individuals, without consideration of underlying biological factors, RDoC is based on the increasing ability to relate normal as well as abnormal behavior to particular molecules and circuits in the brain across animal species and humans. Behavioral domains include negative valence systems (e.g., fear and anxiety), positive valence systems (e.g., reward and motivation), cognitive systems, social processes, and arousal and regulatory systems, several of which might be affected in a given DSM disease classification. RDoC is seen as a step toward a “precision psychiatry,” where increasing knowledge of the genetic, molecular, cellular, and circuit basis of mental illness will yield biologically based diagnoses that offer important pathophysiological, treatment, and prognostic implications.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project, an initiative of the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) of the United States to develop for research purposes new ways of classifying mental disorders based on dimensions of observable behavior and neurobiological measures, and explores how the hallmark symptoms of OCD (obsessions, compulsions, and anxiety) can be mapped onto RDoC domains. Unlike current categorical diagnostic systems (e.g., DSM), RDoC seeks to integrate many levels of information (from genomics to self-report) to validate dimensions defined by neurobiology and behavioral measures that cut across current disorder categories. The chapter explores, for heuristic reasons, how the RDoC matrix might be used to elucidate the neurobehavioral domains of dysfunction that lead to the characteristic symptoms of OCD. It then selectively reviews the OCD literature from the perspective of the RDoC domains, aiming to guide future transdiagnostic studies to examine specific neurobehavioral domains across disorders.

This chapter focuses on available and validated scoring guidelines for sleep-related movements, such as periodic limb movements, alternating legs movements, rhythmic movements, sleep bruxism, sleep myoclonus, and REM behavior disorder. Some scoring methods have recently been updated with the use of computerized and automatic techniques; others are based on old criteria derived from visual analysis of events recorded on paper. Further studies are needed to develop and validate automatic scoring methods and to assess their reliability and usefulness for both research purposes and clinical practice. Moreover, scoring methods and related cut-off values have to be validated, not only against controls, but also in specific populations, such as patients with Parkinson disease and REM behavior disorder.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the literature on work–family interventions focusing on linkages to evidence-based employee health and well-being outcomes and on return on investment (ROI) in organizations. Work–family interventions include, but are not limited to, alternative work arrangements, family supportive supervisor behavior training, work redesign to increase schedule control, and the provision of dependent care supports. Work–family interventions have the goal of reducing work–family conflict and in turn increasing the health and well-being of employees and the organizations in which they work (Kossek, Hammer, Kelly, and Moen, 2014). Sixteen studies were identified that meet our criteria. The chapter provides a discussion of establishing the work–family intervention value proposition with a focus on ROI, concluding with a discussion of approaches and guidelines for future work–family intervention research and practice.

Abstract:
Accurate and reproducible classification of tumors is essential for clinical management, cancer surveillance, and studies of pathogenesis and etiology. Tumor classification has historically been based on the primary anatomic site or organ in which the tumor occurs and on its morphologic and histologic phenotype. While pathologic criteria are useful in predicting the average behavior of a group of tumors, histopathology alone cannot accurately predict the prognosis and treatment response of individual cancers. Traditional measures such as tumor stage and grade do not take into account molecular events that influence tumor aggressiveness or changes in the tumor composition during treatment. This chapter provides a primer on approaches that use pathology and molecular biology to classify and subclassify cancers. It describes the features of carcinomas, sarcomas, and malignant neoplasms of the immune system and blood, as well as various high-throughput genomic platforms that characterize the molecular profile of tumors.

Intellectual disability (ID) is characterized by significant deficits in intellectual skills and adaptive behavior. ID affects approximately 1% of the population; an individual’s ID can range from mild to profound based on the level of impairment and supports needed. Individuals often present with associated challenging behaviors and medical and psychiatric comorbidities that create a complicated clinical picture. Comprehensive assessment is critical for effective treatment. Intervention for ID is focused on addressing the discrepancies between an individual’s ability and environmental demands by providing supports to improve daily functioning. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary. Evaluation and treatment procedures will likely evolve as etiological understanding of ID improves. Greater research and policy attention to several areas of clinical practice are needed to improve prognosis and quality of life. This chapter details diagnostic criteria, assessment and intervention strategies, gaps in and future directions of research and practice, and implications for clinical practice.

Abstract:
Compulsive buying disorder (CBD) affects a significant percentage of those in the general population. However, CBD has not received as much attention with regard to research and training providers in its assessment and treatment as other psychiatric disorders. Formal diagnostic criteria have been put forth, and there are a variety of assessment instruments for evaluating buying behavior using both questionnaire and interview formats. Based on the literature to date, it appears that disorder-specific cognitive-behavioral therapy has been most successful in treating those with CBD. Treatment providers should also be aware that mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and compulsive hoarding often accompany CBD and complicate its treatment, and these disorders should be addressed within the treatment paradigm. Further research is needed to define barriers to motivation for change and treatment compliance among individuals with CBD, as well as factors associated with both positive and negative treatment outcomes.

Abstract:
As more and more equipment incorporates advanced technologies, usability -- the ability of equipment to take advantage of users' skills and thereby to function effectively in the broad range of real work situations -- is becoming an essential component of equipment design. Usability: Turning Technologies into Tools collects six essays that herald a fundamental shift in the way industry and researchers think about usability. In this new, broader definition, usability no longer means safeguarding against human error, but rather enabling human beings to learn, to use, and to adapt the equipment to satisfy better the demands and contingencies of their work. Following an introduction that develops some core concepts of usability, the subsequent chapters: -- describe the role of usability in guiding one of Xerox's largest strategic initiatives -- analyze a Monsanto chemical plant where a study of worker's conversational patterns contributed to the design of a more effective system of controls -- present an empirical study of equipment design practices in U.S. industry which contrasts technology-centered and skill-based design approaches -- summarize recent Scandinavian experiences with user participation in design, with specific reference to the DEMOS and UTOPIA projects -- analyze European experiences that suggest five key criteria for effective human-centered design of advanced manufacturing technology --offer an insightful discussion of the powerful, often hidden human and organizational resources that conventional design processes overlook. Today, three quarters of all advanced technology implementations in manufacturing fail to achieve their performance goals because of inadequate usability. By viewing the human being as a mechanistic system component, and not a particularly reliable one, the traditional "human factors" model of usability virtually ensures that the uniquely human qualities -- experience, adaptation, innovation -- will be neglected, and therefore that new technologies will realize little of their true potential. Usability: Turning Technologies into Tools answers the need for better usability criteria and more effective design and usability assurance processes. In so doing, it leads the way to making a new, broader concept of usability central to design. Its chapters will be of interest to managers and professionals in computer systems, manufacturing engineering, industrial design, and human factors, as well as researchers in disciplines such as computer science, engineering, design studies, sociology, organizational behavior and human resource management, industrial relations, education, and business strategy.

Abstract:
For over a quarter of a century, organizational scholars have sought to understand the ways in which employees contribute to organizational success through their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Concurrently, personality traits have provided an important lens for illuminating what motivates such discretionary efforts. Our first purpose is to provide a state-of-the art, theoretically grounded review of the literature linking five-factor model (FFM) of personality traits to OCB. Second, we strive to clarify both our criterion construct (OCB) and our predictor space in order to facilitate the integration of past research and pave the way for future research. For our criterion space, we focus on three prominent types of OCB: directed toward individuals (OCB-I), toward the organization (OCB-O), and toward change (OCB-CH). For our predictor space, we examine FFM personality traits and FFM-based dark-side personality traits. Third, we offer new fruitful directions for future research. We conclude with three key themes for future research.

Abstract:
Populism and Trade traces the role of populist trade policy in the increase of global protectionism and the erosion of international trade institutions. Populist anti-trade rhetoric played a major part in US President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign, in which he portrayed current trade agreements as elitist measures to undermine US manufacturing jobs, economic security, and the interests of the American people. Upon taking office he proceeded to implement trade restrictions that were unprecedented in the era of GATT-WTO rules. His use of national security criteria for unilateral tariffs on steel and aluminum and his trade war with China represented an abandonment of WTO trade rules and practices. In the United Kingdom, the 2016 Brexit referendum resulted in a vote to leave the European Union, thereby ending the UK trade integration arrangement that had begun in 1973. The referendum campaign drew on UK criticism of EU intrusion on UK sovereignty in presenting the issue in populist terms of elitist control from Brussels set against the interests of the victimized British people. The book develops a conceptual framework of protectionism that links behavioral factors with perceived external threats and voting behavior based on emotion. It also offers a review of trade policies of other populist governments and an assessment of their economic and institutional cost. A concluding chapter provides recommendations for addressing the populist challenge, focusing on adjustment policies, reforms of global trade institutions, and the need to protect domestic democratic processes.

Abstract:
AbstractResearch about indoor comfort in future years will increasingly be guided by the pressing need for decarbonizing the built environment due to climate change. Health, efficiency, and satisfaction of work and the feeling of comfort are largely determined by the interior criteria. The sustainable indoor environment is a result of complex factors: air conditioning (ventilation), indoor temperature, heating methods, lighting, and acoustic. This chapter explores and analyzes climatic, cultural, and behavioral factors that play an important role and have an influence on technology for an indoor regenerative environment. This chapter is based on an explorative literature review and reflects indoor environmental quality, users’ expectations, and users’ behavior from the perspective of different scientific disciplines. Current standards are based on a rational approach to thermal comfort, and indicators are determined on the measured subjects’ reactions during stabilized conditions in climatic chambers. It is concluded from these results that people in different environmental conditions react similarly to everyday life. Nevertheless, survey results suggest that achieving the optimal level of the indoor environment is possible when climatic, cultural, and social context is taken into account.

Abstract:
Students who meet criteria for disruptive, impulse control, and conduct disorders generally present with a wide range of challenging behaviors that impede their ability to function appropriately at school and at home. Understanding the differential diagnosis and comorbid manifestations of these disorders—particularly the two most common disruptive disorders (i.e., oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder)—can assist school practitioners in addressing students’ behavior and socioemotional well-being in school. It is also important that school practitioners are knowledgeable about Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) categories for which students exhibiting the symptoms of these disorders are most likely to qualify for school-based services. This chapter provides resources to assist schools and school-based practitioners in implementing universal screening, progress monitoring, and rapid assessment of students, as well as evidence-based psychosocial interventions to meet the needs of students with disruptive, impulse control, and conduct disorders.

Abstract:
Location-based mobile commerce (LBMC) incorporates location-aware technologies, wire-free connectivity, and server-based repositories of business locations to support the processing of location-referent transactions (LRTs) between businesses and mobile consumers. LRTs are transactions in which the location of a business in relation to a consumer’s actual or anticipated location is a material transactional factor. Providing adequate support for LRTs requires the timely resolution of queries bearing transaction-related locational criteria. The research reported here evaluates and extends the author’s location-aware method (LAM) of resolving LRT-related queries. The results obtained reveal LAM’s query resolution behavior in a variety of simulated LBMC circumstances and confirm the method’s potential to improve the timeliness of transactional support to mobile consumers. The article also identifies and evaluates a heuristic useful in maintaining optimal query resolution performance as changes occur in the scale and scope of server-based repositories.

Abstract:
With growing numbers of mHealth interventions, there is a need to evaluate the quality of existing apps based on quality assessment criteria that are grounded in published literature and health behavior research. These criteria can help identify the quality of mHealth apps from the perspectives of reliability, feature usefulness and feature convenience. This chapter will discuss the various quality criteria that are relevant for mHealth apps that target drug-related problems, as well as for medication management, through the development of two quality assessment tools. In addition to reliability, usability and privacy criteria, other feature criteria related to tele-monitoring, interaction checkers, dose calculators, medication information provision, medication records, as well as tele-support, tele-collaboration and personalization/contextualization, will be discussed. This chapter aims to provide guidance to mobile app developers, clinicians and patients on the types of quality parameters to consider in apps that are designed for pharmaceutical care and medication management.

This chapter elaborates on the multiple integrative aspects of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), an evidenced-based treatment for individuals who meet criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD). It discusses how behavioral theory, Zen, and dialectics provide the primary principles and describes how the dialectical principles perform various integrating roles throughout the therapy. It also clarifies the construct of traumatic invalidation, a component of the treatment’s biosocial theory. The section on methods describes key therapeutic strategies, including problem-solving and validation. A case example illustrates the dialectical and integrative nature of the treatment. The chapter also reviews the results of randomized controlled trials examining the efficacy of DBT for BPD and identifies the settings, ages, and other clinical disorders for which the treatment also has empirical support.

Abstract:
The idea of using white box data flow information to select test cases is well established and has proven an effective testing strategy. This paper extends the concept of data flow testing to the case in which the source code is unavailable and only black box information can be used to make test selection decisions. In such cases, data flow testing is performed by constructing a behavior model of the software under test to act as a surrogate for the program flow graph upon which white box data flow testing is based. The behavior model is a graph representation of externally-visible software state and input-induced state transitions. We first summarize the modeling technique and then define the new data flow selection rules and describe how they are used to generate test cases. Theoretical proof of concept is provided based on a characteristic we call transition variation. Finally, we present results from a laboratory experiments in which we compare the fault detection capability of black box data flow tests to other common techniques of test generation from graphs, including simple random sampling, operational profile sampling and state transition coverage.

Abstract:
In a previous paper, a criterion for multiaxial lifing of turbine disk bores made from a nickel base super alloy, DP-718, was substantiated using results from spin pit testing of mini disks. In this paper, another turbine and compressor disk alloy, Alloy 10, exhibiting a different material behavior than DP-718 is examined from multiaxial point of view. This new alloy manufactured by powder metallurgy processing, has a coarser grain size, lower tensile yield strength, contains a much finer distribution of brittle carbides in its microstructure and shows a significant difference in failure initiation behavior under low cycle fatigue when compared to DP-718. Under the multiaxiality conditions experienced by disk bores, Alloy-10 lives seem to correlate well using an effective stress based criterion, whereas DP-718 was found to follow principal stress based criterion. Interesting differences between DP-718 and Alloy-10 in alloy and fractographic behavior under uniaxial and multiaxial conditions are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
As an alternative to the conventional intact stability criterion for floating offshore structures, known as the area-ratio-based criterion, the dynamic-response-based intact stability criteria was initially developed in the 1980s for column-stabilized drilling units and later extended to the design of floating production installations (FPIs). Both the area-ratio-based and dynamic-response-based intact stability criteria have recently been adopted for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). In the traditional area-ratio-based criterion, the stability calculation is quasi-static in nature, with the contribution from external forces other than steady wind loads and FOWT dynamic responses captured through a safety factor. Furthermore, the peak wind overturning moment of FOWTs may not coincide with the extreme storm wind speed normally prescribed in the area-ratio-based criterion, but rather at the much smaller rated wind speed in the power production mode. With these two factors considered, the dynamic-response-based intact stability criterion is desirable for FOWTs to account for their unique dynamic responses and the impact of various operating conditions. This paper demonstrates the implementation of a FOWT intact stability assessment using the dynamic-response-based criterion. Performance-based criteria require observed behavior or quantifiable metrics as input for the method to be applied. This is demonstrated by defining the governing load cases for two conceptual FOWT semisubmersible designs at two sites. This work introduces benchmarks comparing the area-ratio-based and dynamic-response-based criteria, gaps with current methodologies, and frontier areas related to the wind overturning moment definition.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper discusses the evaluation criteria for alternating loads utilizing partial inelastic analyses and free from the stress classification. As finite element analysis becomes popular, it has been noticed by designers that in some cases the conventional stress classification does not work well. The stress classification itself had been engineered as a practical tool to evaluate the integrity of a structure by elastic analyses, which actually could have inelastic behavior. For example, primary stress limits were determined reflecting the stress level at collapse. Therefore, the problem concerning the stress classification can be solved recalling how it had been engineered. In other words, the key to solve the problem is the inelastic evaluation method corresponding to each stress category. From this point of the view, the application of the inelastic analyses becomes widely studied. Consequently, as for primary loads, it has been proven that the collapse load evaluation by Limit or Plastic Analysis is effective and practical for design analyses. On the other hand, as for the alternating loads, it is not sufficiently discussed how the alternative criteria should be without stress classification. In this paper, the following are discussed based on the calculation results in the Committee on Three Dimensional Finite Element Stress Evaluation in JPVRC. 1. Prerequisite of the elastic-plastic analysis for shakedown evaluation, and the evaluation criteria based on plastic strain increment and its distribution. 2. The advantage to use simplified elastic-plastic analysis method than to perform fully elastic-plastic analyses, and the calculation procedure for Ke factors to be used with. The associated code rules are proposed.

Abstract:
Abstract The Nuclear Power Plant KKG in Gösgen, Switzerland was designed according to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The ASME BPVC, Section III, Appendix 11 regulates the flange calculation for class 2 and 3 components, it is also used for class 1 flanges. A standard for the determination of the required gasket characteristics is not well established which leads to a lack of clarity. As a hint different y and m values for different kinds of gasket are invented in ASME BPVC Section III [1]. The KTA 3201.2[2] and KTA 3211.2[3] regulate the calculation of bolted flanged joints in German nuclear power plants. The gasket characteristics required for these calculation methods are based on DIN 28090-1[4], they can be determined experimentally. In Europe, the calculation code EN 1591-1 [5] and the gasket characteristics according to EN 13555[6] are used for flange calculations. Because these calculation algorithms provide not only a stress analysis but also a tightness proof, it would be preferable to use them also in the NPP’s in Switzerland. Additionally, for regulatory approval also the requirements of the ASME BPVC must be fullfilled. For determining the bolting up torque moment of flanges several tables for different nominal diameters of flanges using different gaskets and different combinations of bolt and flange material were established. As leading criteria for an allowable state, the gasket surface pressure, the allowable elastic stress of the bolts and the strain in the flange should be a good and conservative basis for determining allowable torque moments. The herein established tables show only a small part according to a previous paper [7] where different calculation methods for determining bolting up moments were compared to each other. In this paper the bolting-up torque moments determined with the European standard EN 1591-1 for the flange, are assessed on the strain-based acceptance criteria in ASME BPVC, Section III, Appendices EE and FF. The assessment of the torque moment of the bolts remains elastically which should lead to a more conservative insight of the behavior of the flanges.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper documents the basis for the current time dependent allowable stress criterion based on onset of third stage creep. The criterion is one of three that are used to develop allowable stresses for elevated temperature, Class 1, nuclear components*. The recommendation to consider third stage creep is part of a 1970 position paper prepared by one of the authors for the Task Force on Material Behavior of the Subgroup on Elevated Temperature Design. The position paper recommended that allowable stress/strain limits be set to preclude operation in third stage creep. This was based on the difficulty (at the time) of predicting the effects of multiaxial stresses on creep behavior and the possibility of through-wall cracks appearing before rupture. The principal references supporting this recommendation reported experimental results in which pressurized tubes failed almost exclusively before the onset of third stage creep. Also included are the reported results from a 1993 long term creep and rupture test of a nozzle-to-sphere model in which failure was also by small pinhole leaks prior to observed onset of third stage creep. In addition to excerpts from the above references, commentary from a current perspective is also provided.

Abstract:
Background: Prevalence of adolescents’ unwanted pregnancy is relatively high in Asia (43%), Africa (45%), and both Latin America and Caribbean (74%). Unwanted pregnancy at an early age is correlated with social consequences as well as increased health risks for both mother and infants. Peer-based intervention is a program to promote sexual and reproductive health, including the prevention of unwanted pregnancy. This study aimed to assess the influence of peer-based intervention on unwanted pregnancy prevention behaviors in adolescents. Subject dan Method: Meta-analysis was conducted based on PRISMA guidelines. Articles with randomized controlled trial design published in 2000-2020 were included for meta-analysis. These articles were searched from PubMed, Science Direct, Research Gate, and Google Scholar databases. Keyword used “peer education” OR “peer led” OR “peer counseling” OR “peer approach” OR “peer teaching” OR “peer mentoring” AND “unwanted pregnancy” AND adolescent AND “randomized controlled trial”. Articles that met eligibility criteria were analyzed using Revman 5.4. Results: Ten articles met the criteria for a meta-analysis with sample size 15,439. This study showed that peer-based intervention (RR=1.12; 95% CI=0.95 to 1.32; p=0.160) improved unwanted pregnancy prevention behavior in adolescents, but it was statistically non-significant. Conclusion: Peer-based intervention improves unwanted pregnancy prevention behavior in adolescents, but it is statistically non-significant.

Abstract:
To be classified and approved by a classification society, all offshore structures shall be submitted and analyzed according to standard rules. The stability criteria are based on the IMO–MODU (International Maritime Organization–Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) Code which has reference to almost all types of floating units such as surface, column-stabilized and self elevating, but problems were found when dealing with monocolumn concept due to differences between this concept and those presented by the rules. The monocolumn studied is a floating production system (FPS) platform designed to handle steel catenary risers (SCR) in a depth of 1800 m in Brazilian oil fields. In this project, special concern was given to sea keeping behavior, constructability and security. This paper discusses the last item, focusing on subdivision and stability analysis. In order to overcome difficulties in finding the appropriate criteria, the work was developed using a special criteria, discussed with Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and PETROBRAS, which could be implanted in future classifications for this type of hull.

Abstract:
This work presents two criteria for the optimal positioning of strain sensors on a cantilever thin plate, which has bending and torsional modes. The aim is to find an efficient placement of strain sensors in order to maximize the observability of the first N modes of vibration. To this end, we have developed two positioning criteria based on the von Mises equivalent strain, which is a unique representative value of a three-dimensional strain state. The sensors should be placed at points where this equivalent strain presents significant values for the dynamic plate behavior defined by the first N modes. Although these criteria are general and can be applied to any strain sensor, we intend to use fiber grating sensors as strain gauges taking advantage of their inherent characteristics in comparison with other sensors.

Full text
Abstract:
A full-scale airfield pavement test section was constructed and trafficked by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to evaluate the performance of relatively thin airfield pavement structures. The test section consisted of 16 test items that included three asphalt pavement thicknesses and two different aggregate base courses. The test items were subjected to simulated aircraft traffic to evaluate their response and performance to realistic aircraft loads and to evaluate the effect of reductions in tire pressure on thin asphalt pavement. Rutting behavior, pavement cracking, instrumentation response, and falling weight deflectometer response were monitored at selected traffic intervals. The results of this study were used to extend existing Department of Defense pavement design and evaluation techniques to include the evaluation of airfield pavement sections that do not meet the current criteria for aggregate base quality and minimum asphalt concrete surface thickness.
