Abstract:
AbstractThe addiction literature contains numerous case reports of individuals dependent on a range of chemical substances, but strong dependence on cigarettes has not been similarly documented. This report attempts to fill this gap by describing two exceptionally dependent smokers. Both suffer with a smoking-related disease and have a very strong motivation to quit. Despite receiving intensive behavioural and pharmacological treatments to help them stop smoking, they have been unable to maintain even a short period of abstinence. The two cases provide reference examples for the assertion that while not all smokers are hopelessly hooked, some are. Such illustrative cases may stimulate research into the area of individual differences in cigarette dependence.

Abstract:
AbstractGuidelines recommend that general practitioners (GPs) should advise all smoking patients to quit and provide additional stop-smoking interventions as appropriate. This study aimed to improve our understanding of how this recommendation can be achieved. General practitioners (N = 26) from London completed a questionnaire about their stop-smoking interventions and psychological factors that might affect these. Thirty-one per cent of the patients recognised as smokers by GPs did not receive an intervention and two-thirds of these were judged to be inappropriate for receipt of an intervention. Psychological factors that predicted behaviour were perceptions that doing this was ‘normative’, making an effort to make it happen, and feeling that the behaviour was easy to enact. Strategies to improve guideline implementation may be more effective if they addressed the above psychological factors.

AbstractIntroductionAccording to UK guidelines, stop smoking practitioners are expected to be open and supportive towards e-cigarette users. As adequate support from practitioners can be instrumental for smokers to successfully quit smoking, it is crucial to explore the challenges that stop smoking practitioners face when advising on e-cigarette use.AimThis qualitative study explores the challenges that stop smoking practitioners face when advising patients on e-cigarettes.MethodsA qualitative study was conducted with semi-structured interviews with 10 stop smoking practitioners from four stop smoking services in London. Face to face interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted to explore practitioners' experiences when advising on e-cigarettes.FindingsTwo themes were noted: practitioners' concerns and practitioner–patient interactions. Practitioners were particularly concerned regarding the lack of information, safety issues and the maintenance of addiction linked with e-cigarettes. They emphasised the difficulty of advising on a product that they cannot prescribe. Overall, practitioners expressed the lack of confidence when advising on e-cigarettes since they were often unprepared and not able to answer patients' questions on e-cigarettes.ConclusionsStop smoking practitioners' lack of confidence and limited knowledge regarding e-cigarettes emphasises the necessity for training and guidance on e-cigarettes to improve their interactions with patients on this subject. In particular, practitioners need to be provided with clear guidance on how to counsel patients about how and where to buy e-cigarettes.

Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the perception of smoking cessation services and products by pregnant Māori (New Zealand's Indigenous people) smokers and identify how these can be improved. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 60 pregnant Māori smokers. Most of the women (82%) had been advised to stop smoking, but few (21%) felt influenced by the advice. In addition, the women in this study felt that health provider support needed to be more encouraging, understanding and more readily available. Many (78%) had come across smokefree pamphlets, but few had read them. Only four women had been given a booklet specifically aimed at pregnant Māori women. Several women thought that the promotion of smokefree pregnancies needed to be aimed at the whole whānau (extended family). The main conclusions were that motivation to quit could be enhanced by delivery of a clear, consistent and repeated message from multiple sources, backed up with effective, supportive and encouraging services and education resources about risks and smoking cessation options. Primary health care interventions delivering a range of services need to be flexible – for example, by visiting pregnant women in their home – and need to target the whole expectant whānau, instead of focusing on pregnant women in isolation.

Abstract:
Aim To explore how e-cigarettes are perceived by a group of e-cigarette users and a group of Stop Smoking Advisors (SSAs), what are the risks and benefits they associate with e-cigarettes and how do these understandings shape participants’ attitude towards e-cigarettes? Method Face-to-face and phone interviews were conducted with 15 e-cigarette users and 13 SSAs in South East England between 2014 and 2015. Transcribed data were analysed inductively through thematic analysis. Findings E-cigarettes were used as a therapeutic aid to stop or cut down smoking and as a smoking substitute. A prominent theme is the uncertainty e-cigarettes have generated. This included ambiguity of e-cigarettes’ status and efficacy, and ambiguity of e-cigarettes’ physical and social risks. Different attitudes towards e-cigarettes were identified. Conclusion E-cigarettes’ benefits and risks should be continuously evaluated, put into perspective and circulated to avoid ambiguity. Stop smoking services need to recognise the benefits that can be gained by using e-cigarettes as a harm reduction tool.

Abstract:
Smoking is started primarily in adolescence and is responsible for nearly 80 000 preventable deaths in England per year. Children and young people are reported to become addicted to tobacco and smoking within 4 weeks of starting the habit, In this article, Emma Croghan considers how school nurses can aid in preventing children and young people from taking up smoking, focusing on effective interventions such as mass media campaigns and school or peer-based programmes. How to help young people stop once they have developed a smoking habit is also discussed, based on the Ask, Advise, Act steps for advice sessions with young people who smoke.

Abstract:
Tobacco consumption is a major cause of death and disease, and quitting smoking is the most important thing smokers can do to benefit their health. As of the last census, 32.5% of the Brazilian population smoked, but little is known about how many wish to quit and which factors can influence them to make such a decision. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the habits, attitudes and believes of smokers in four major Brazilian cities and compare the results with data from 17 European countries. METHODS: A total of 800 smokers were interviewed. The interviews were conducted in person and individually, using a semi-structured questionnaire. Smokers were defined as individuals who smoke at least one cigarette per week. They were recruited by intentional sampling (confronted on the street and invited to answer the questionnaire) according to pre-established quotas based on social class, gender, occupation and age. Therefore, the number of interviews in a certain population stratum within the sample was determined according to the proportion of smokers generally represented by that stratum. RESULTS: The majority of smokers interviewed presented a low to moderate degree of dependence and wanted to stop smoking. The greater was the motivation to quit, the higher was the number of quitting attempts, as well as the probability of having received medical advice. Only 21% of the smokers had been advised to stop smoking by their doctors. The factor cited by smokers as the one that would most influence their future efforts to stop was "concern about exposing children, relatives and friends to tobacco smoke". The population of Brazil, in contrast to those of European countries, seems to have a high degree of consciousness regarding the fight against tobacco.

Howell, Lindsey. "Investigating how computational tools can improve the production process of stop-motion animation." Thesis, University of Bath, 2015. https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.665400.

Full text
Abstract:
Stop-motion animation is a traditional form of animation that has been practised for over 100 years. While the unique look and feel of stop-motion animation has been retained in modern productions, the production process has been modernised to take advantage of technological advancements. Modern stop-frame animation production integrates digital imaging technology and computational methods with traditional hand-crafted skills. This portfolio documents three projects undertaken at Aardman Animations, each investigated with the aim of improving efficiency in the stop-motion production process: - Rig removal is the removal of equipment, or ‘rigging’, used on set during stop-motion animation to hold characters or objects in unstable positions. All rigging captured in frames must be removed in post-production and currently manual methods are used which can be very time-consuming. The key task is to separate the character from the rig. In Chapter 2, I present a novel spatio-temporal segmentation algorithm for segmenting characters from stop-motion footage. The algorithm has been designed to work with stop-motion animated content, in contrast to other state of the art algorithms which struggled when tested on stop-motion footage. - Set shift is a problem which occurs when background items on set move subtly over the time taken to shoot a scene. For example, temperature and humidity changes can cause wood to warp during a weekend, changing the position of a background object the following week. These small ‘shifts’ are recorded in the footage and must be corrected in post-production. Chapter 3 describes the problem in detail, investigates potential solutions and explains why solving set shift automatically is a significant challenge. - Plasticine shading is required when a plasticine model has to be generated computationally. One motivation for producing footage computationally is that problems such as rig removal and set shift do not arise. In order to simulate plasticine accurately, the distinct reflectance model of this material must be known and reproduced. By collecting experimental data from plasticine samples and fitting parametric models, I have developed a bespoke surface shading model for plasticine (Chapter 4). This new model provides the best fit to the measured data when compared to existing state of the art surface shaders. It has been implemented into commercially used production systems, for use with existing rendering software. Advancing state of the art research is only one of the challenges when working in a production studio such as Aardman Animations. Additionally, findings must be integrated into the production pipeline. Chapter 5 discusses the challenges and constraints faced when conducting research in this environment. In order for stop-motion animation to remain competitive it is vital that production companies stay up-to-date with technological advancements in research areas that can contribute to their production processes. I conclude by discussing whether technological advancements can help Aardman Animations in improving the efficiency of their stop-motion production pipeline.

Abstract:
Smoking causes Type II diabetes (T2DM). However, there were limited research on the needs, concerns and intention of smokers with T2DM about quitting smoking. This study aimed to explore the behaviors and perceptions on smoking and quitting smoking in patients with T2DM. I conducted both qualitative and quantitative studies. The qualitative study involved T2DM patients who were current smokers or ex-smokers, and could communicate in Cantonese. Semi-structured focus group and individual in-depth interviews were conducted. The quantitative study was cross-sectional, using a standardized questionnaire to identify the intention to quit smoking, knowledge regarding the health risks of smoking and their determinants in T2DM smokers who (1) were aged 18 years or above; (2) can communicate in Cantonese; (3) had daily consumption of at least 2 cigarettes in the past 30 days; and (4) diagnosed with T2DM for at least 6 months with stable condition. Structured multiphase regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with intention to quit smoking and knowledge on the health impact of smoking. In the qualitative study, I recruited 22 current smokers and 20 ex-smokers with T2DM at data saturation. The current T2DM smokers did not quit smoking because of satisfaction with their current health status, misconceptions of no association between T2DM and smoking, and the perceived hazards of quitting. In contrast, ex-smokers had a positive evaluation of quitting smoking, accepted the quit advice from medical professionals and received more family support. Moreover, psychological addiction and weight gain after smoking cessation were the major barriers for T2DM patients to quit smoking. In the cross-sectional study, I recruited 526 smokers with T2DM from nine outpatient clinics specialized in diabetes. They scored on average 47.5 (95% CI=45.6-49.4) out of 0-100 in knowledge regarding health impact of smoking, and 389 (74%, 95% CI=70.3%-77.8%) of them were in pre-contemplation stage. The multiphase regression analysis showed that T2DM smokers with no intention to quit were those who smoked during alcohol drinking (OR=5.98, 95% CI=1.89-18.98, p=0.002). In contrast, those less likely associated with pre-contemplation stage were those who perceived a worse level of health (OR=0.41, 95%, CI=0.19-0.86, p=0.019), perceived greater importance of quitting (OR=0.67, 95% CI=0.58-0.78, p<0.0001), had higher confidence of quitting (OR=0.77, 95% CI=0.67-0.88, p<0.0001), or had more knowledge regarding health impact of smoking (OR=0.98, 95%, CI=0.97-0.999, p=0.035). In addition, a higher score on Decisional Balance Inventory-Cons of smoking (coefficient=1.61, 95% CI=0.56-2.66, p=0.003) or confidence in quitting was associated with a higher knowledge score (coefficient=1.30, 95% CI=0.59-2.01, p<0.001). Conclusively, this is the first study to assess the smoking behaviors and perceptions in patients with T2DM. Many T2DM smokers were reluctant to quit smoking due to inadequate knowledge of the health impact of smoking. Patient education, weight control and behavioral counseling are suggested as the critical components of an effective smoking cessation intervention for T2DM patients.

AbstractFor those who receive the diagnosis of dementia, their daily life is turned upside down. Dementia represents daily challenges in many aspects, cognitively, socially, emotionally and functionally. Most commonly, the dementia disorder is progressive, and currently there is no cure or treatment to stop it. Emphasizing coping and health-promotion among individuals having dementia is fundamental to obtain wellbeing as well as finding meaning-in-life. This chapter focuses on coping strategies among persons with dementia, how these are related to health-promotion, wellbeing and meaning-in-life and how nurses and health professionals can promote health and wellbeing in persons with dementia.

Abstract:
AbstractThe global tourism industry has been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic due to strict travel restrictions imposed by most countries. In order to achieve a swift post-pandemic recovery, it is important to understand what psychological obstacles people would face when making travel decisions. Building upon the dual-route theory of information processing, this study examined and compared how the perceived risk of COVID-19 would affect people’s travel intentions in the Japanese city of Sapporo and the Chinese city of Wuhan through two rounds of data collection. While both cities were hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic at an early stage, the cumulative numbers of confirmed human cases and the levels of intervention adopted were largely different. Results from the present study showed that risk perception of COVID-19 had a negative effect on people’s travel intentions in Sapporo. However, no significant effect of COVID-19 perception could be observed in post-lockdown Wuhan. Meanwhile, although the dual-route structure of information processing was obtained in Sapporo and post-lockdown Wuhan, neither routes seemed to predict the perceived risk of COVID-19 in Wuhan when lockdown restrictions were still in place. Several theoretical and practical implications concerning the results are discussed in this study.

Abstract:
Many dental practitioners become very frustrated with their patients when they fail to follow advice given to improve their oral health. This failure can often be interpreted by dentists as a sign of disinterest, lack of motivation, or sometimes even stupidity! Such an approach helps no one. As has already been identified, to successfully promote oral health the dental team need to work with their patients in a number of ways. For example, to help them select a healthy diet, maintain good oral hygiene, or stop smoking, the dental team need to understand what factors influence these behaviours and how they can be altered successfully. This chapter therefore aims to review behaviour change to help you understand more fully how you as a clinician can help your patients successfully alter their behaviour to promote and maintain their oral health. Theories and models of behaviour change will be reviewed and consideration will also focus on the practical factors influencing the process of change. Before reviewing the theoretical detail of behaviour change it is important to restate a core principle of public health, that is, the importance of the underlying social determinants of health. A wealth of evidence has highlighted that individual behaviours have a relatively limited influence on health outcomes compared to economic, environmental, and social factors (Marmot and Wilkinson 2006 ; Wilkinson 1996). Indeed, oral health behaviours play a somewhat minor role in explaining oral health inequalities (Sabbah et al . 2009; Sanders et al. 2006). Any exploration of individual behaviour change therefore needs to take into account the influence of the broader factors operating at a macro level. However, for health professionals working with individual patients, helping people change their behaviour is still an important task within their clinical practice. Traditionally, health professionals have focused largely upon giving their patients information in an attempt to change their behaviour. Such an approach has, however, been mostly unsuccessful at securing long-term changes in behaviour (Sprod et al. 1996; Yevahova and Satur 2009).

Full text
Abstract:
Two-track passenger rail lines typically operate with all trains serving every station. Without additional infrastructure, transit planners have limited options to improve travel times. Service could be improved by operating a skip-stop service where trains only serve a subset of all the station stops. A skip-stop pattern must find an optimal balance between faster passenger travel times and lower service frequencies at each station. A mixed integer formulation is proposed to analyze this tradeoff; however, the mixed integer formulation could not scale efficiently to analyze a large scale commuter line. A genetic algorithm is presented to search the solution space incorporating a larger problem scope and complexity. In a case study of a Midwest commuter line, overall passenger travel time could be decreased by 9.5%. Both analyses can give insights to transit operators on how to improve their service to their customers and increase ridership.

Abstract:
Abstract Impacting systems are intrinsically nonlinear. They are found in a great variety of mechanical constructions. The control of the impact phenomena requires a thorough understanding of the dynamics involved. It is discussed that near-grazing systems, i.e. systems in which the impacts take place at low speed, can be described by discrete mappings. The form of this mapping for a harmonic oscillator with a stop is dealt with in detail. It is pointed out how these mappings can be derived and the results are compared to results earlier published. It is indicated how the present results could be checked experimentally.

Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a method for analyzing the vibration properties of contact wires (trolley wires) using the transfer matrix method (TMM), by treating them as a periodic structure. When the speed of the train increases, self-excitation vibration of the wires may occur. When the trolley wires repeatedly contact and separate from the pantograph, the pantograph is worn by the sparks. Therefore, the vibration of the trolley wires must be kept as small as possible. For such problems, many researchers have proposed vibration analysis of the wires. However, these methods are not suitable for the vibration analysis of wires because of the very complicated wave propagation phenomenon. The TMM proposed in this study is an easy technique for studying wave propagation since the vibration properties can be simplified greatly by handling the smallest unit of repetition of the structure. Using this method, we can identify the frequencies of the vibration-attenuating domain (stop-band) and the vibration-amplifying domain (pass-band). If we can bring the excitation frequency of the wire to the stop-band domain, wear of the pantograph can be reduced. Here, we introduce three cell models; two of them do not take into account the elasticity of the trolley wire, and the other does. Then, we discuss how the stop-band appears in these models.

Abstract:
Abstract In this study, we focus on crowdsourcing contests for engineering design problems where contestants search for design alternatives. Our stakeholder is a designer of such a contest who requires support to make decisions, such as whether to share opponent-specific information with the contestants. There is a significant gap in our understanding of how sharing opponent-specific information influences a contestant’s information acquisition decision such as whether to stop searching for design alternatives. Such decisions in turn affect the outcomes of a design contest. To address this gap, the objective of this study is to investigate how participants’ decision to stop searching for a design solution is influenced by the knowledge about their opponent’s past performance. The objective is achieved by conducting a protocol study where participants are interviewed at the end of a behavioral experiment. In the experiment, participants compete against opponents with strong (or poor) performance records. We find that individuals make decisions to stop acquiring information based on various thresholds such as a target design quality, the number of resources they want to spend, and the amount of design objective improvement they seek in sequential search. The threshold values for such stopping criteria are influenced by the contestant’s perception about the competitiveness of their opponent. Such insights can enable contest designers to make decisions about sharing opponent-specific information with participants, such as the resources utilized by the opponent towards purposefully improving the outcomes of an engineering design contest.

Abstract:
One of the critical factors in Positive Train Control (PTC) is accurately estimating the train braking distance under different conditions. Accurate estimation of the braking distance will allow the trains to be spaced closer together, with reasonable confidence that they will stop without causing a collision. This study will develop a dynamic model of a train consist that includes three railcars for performing a parametric study to evaluate how various elements will affect the train stopping distance, from an initial speed. Parameters that can be varied in the model include, initial train speed, railcar weight, wheel-rail interface condition, and dynamic braking force. Other parameters are included in the model such as aerodynamic drag forces and air brake forces. The model is based on a multibody formulation of the railcars, trucks (bogies), and suspensions. The paper will include the derivation of the mathematical model and the results of a numerical study in Matlab. The results indicate that the railcars’ weight and initial speed play a significant role in the stopping distance and the time required to stop the train. Our future work will include using this model for closed-loop control of the dynamic braking forces, such that the train braking distance and time to stop can be minimized, under various wheel-rail dynamic conditions.

Abstract:
An explosion occurred in the firebox of an industrial boiler with a nominal fuel input rate of 100 MW (340 million Btu/hr), in a processing plant during final commissioning of the burner systems. This paper describes the investigation of the incident, root cause analysis, and lessons learned from the incident. The original burners in the boiler had recently been replaced with low NOx burners, and the facility was in the process of commissioning the new burner system. The boiler was running only on natural gas igniters at the time of the incident. While firing on igniters, an undetected stoppage of the control equipment occurred, which led to a restriction of airflow through the secondary air dampers. The boiler controls included programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for both the combustion control system (CCS) for regulation and the burner management system (BMS) for safety functions. The BMS was intended to detect a loss of control such as this and immediately stop fuel to the boiler; however, it did not. The BMS PLC was not configured to detect the dangerous states and allowed the igniters to continue to fire. An explosion subsequently occurred within the boiler firebox that caused extensive damages to the facility and equipment. This paper will describe the incident investigation and determination of multiple root causes for failure of the BMS to prevent the explosion. The inadequate configuration of the control systems was likely present for some time prior to the incident, and the explosion was eventually caused when the right conditions occurred during this commissioning. We found through the investigation that the BMS deficiencies could have been detected and prevented (and almost were) through standard hazard analysis techniques common in the chemical processing industries. This paper will also discuss how hazard analysis can be applied to detect and prevent similar system failures.
