Abstract:

Background.DSM-5revisions have been criticized in the popular press for overpathologizing normative eating patterns—particularly among individuals with obesity. To evaluate the evidence for this and otherDSM-5critiques, we compared the point prevalence and interrater reliability ofDSM-IVversusDSM-5eating disorders (EDs) among adults seeking weight-loss treatment.Method.Clinicians (n=2) assignedDSM-IVandDSM-5ED diagnoses to 100 participants via routine clinical interview. Research assessors (n=3) independently conferred ED diagnoses via Structured Clinical Interview forDSM-IVand aDSM-5checklist

Abstract:

The effects of wheat flour replacement at different levels (5, 7.5, 10, and 20%) by celery root and sugar beet pulp powder on rheological parameters and quality properties of enriched pasta were studied. Sensory evaluation was also investigated. Incorporation of fibre powders increased water absorption and prolonged dough stability and dough development time. Enriched pasta had higher moisture content than control pasta. Addition of fibre powders also modified the cooking quality of pasta (cooking loss and water absorption were increased and optimal cooking time was reduced). Moreover cooked p

Abstract:

Assessment of fabric handle relies on the feel of humans. The precision of the results greatly depends on the size of the fabric sets. The precision decreases with increasing number of samples as a consequence of assessors' fatigue and loss of concentration. Given the importance of handle assessment and in the absence of guidelines that assist assessment of large sample sets, this study proposes a comprehensive approach for testing large sets of fabrics by dividing them into several testing sessions, each of 10 samples at most. In the proposed way, tests can also be split over different panels

This paper describes an approach for stress testing banks that is consistent across economies and geographies, in contrast to common “macro scenario” driven approaches. The latter would require economic scenarios to be both equally likely (in a probabilistic sense) and equally stressful (in a conditional loss sense) across countries in order to be comparable. The paper proposes a three-pronged approach for stressing bank solvency, which incorporates recalibrating pre-crisis Basel capital assumptions, adapting the BIS “expected shortfall” approach for securities, and using granular data for inc

Abstract:

There is an emerging but important literature on the effects of sport events such as soccer on stock market returns. After a soccer team's win, agents discount future events more favorably and increase risk tolerance. Similarly, after a loss, risk tolerance decreases. This paper directly assesses risk tolerance after a sports event by using daily data from the three major soccer teams in Turkey (Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray). Results provide evidence that risk tolerance increases after a win, but similar patterns were not found after a loss.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is working in partnership with the State of Louisiana to focus on the oil pollution threat resulting from coastal land loss. With land loss, oil production and transportation infrastructure in coastal Louisiana is at increasing risk of damage from natural hazards and human activities. In response, a demonstration project was developed for contingency planning that assesses these concerns. The project identifies structures at risk, ranks them according to weighted considerations, and provides a trajectory analysis for released

Abstract:

This paper assesses pipe sizing aspects for previously proposed, novel, low heat distribution technology with three pipes. Assessment issues include heat loss, pressure loss, and pipe sizing for different typical pipe configurations. This assessment has been provided by the analysis of a case area with single-family houses. Concerning heat loss, the proposed three-pipe solutions have the same magnitude of heat loss as conventional twin pipes, since lower return temperatures compensate for the larger heat loss area from the third pipe. Regarding pressure loss, the main restriction on the size o

Abstract:

Nearly one third of school-age children report being bullied, primarily enduring teasing or rumors. Children with hearing loss (HL) are at increased risk of victimization due to being “different” from the general population. This project assesses effects of auditory status on bullying by comparing incidence and type of bullying in 87 youth and adolescents with HL (7–18 years) to published national data from peers in the general population. All participants wore auditory technology (i.e., hearing aids or cochlear implants), communicated orally, and participated in mainstream education. Each par

Nontechnical loss has been a significant factor to influence the profits of electric power companies. In the smart electricity consumption environment, the population of smart metering is helpful to collect the load data directly and promptly. A method of nontechnical loss detection, including offline parameter optimization and online detection, is proposed in this paper. With the updating of history data, the detection accuracy gets higher till the optimal point. Extreme learning machine is adopted to detect the nontechnical loss and genetic algorithm is used to find out the optimal parameter

AbstractThis paper assesses the amount of area and volume retreat, from the maximum expansion phase of the Little Ice Age to date, of glaciers at the head of Valpelline and Valtournenche (Valle d’Aosta, western Alps, Italy) using field survey, air-photo interpretation, analysis of historical records and a geographical information system. The calculated areal retreat value is 42.34%. For the upper Valpelline glaciers, the area declined from 20.13 km2 to 14.78 km2; whereas for the upper Valtournenche glaciers, a loss of 14.78 km2 to 5.8 km2 has been recorded. The estimated ice-volume loss was 0.

IntroductionIndividuals with obesity show deficits in executive functioning which have been implicated in decreased weight loss outcome. Preliminary evidence suggests that cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) improves executive functioning and weight loss in obesity. However, confirmatory support, especially for pre-weight loss use, is lacking. The CRT study aims at determining the efficacy of CRT versus no treatment control in patients with obesity before entering behavioural weight loss (BWL) treatment. It is hypothesised that individuals who receive CRT will show better weight loss outcome,

Abstract:

The Niger Delta, being the most extensive freshwater wetland and aquatic ecosystem in West Africa, provides numerous services both to local people and to the West African economy. Ongoing environmental pressure exerted by large-scale oil extraction and illegal timber logging, however, are suspected to have had a substantial impact on the Delta’s ecosystems over the last decades. Knowledge on impact of these activities on the region’s wetlands now or in the past is scarce and patchy. To address this lack of knowledge, this study assesses spatiotemporal changes in two wetlands in the region by u

In the paper, the problem of multi-label (ML) classification using the label-pairwise (LPW) scheme is addressed. For this approach, the method of correction of binary classifiers which constitute the LPW ensemble is proposed. The correction is based on a probabilistic (randomized) model of a classifier that assesses the local class-specific probabilities of correct classification and misclassification. These probabilities are determined using the original concepts of a randomized reference classifier (RRC) and a local soft confusion matrix. Additionally, two special cases that deal with imbala

The human–animal relationship is an important welfare parameter in animal welfare assessment in cows, and the avoidance distance of cows to a stranger at the feed bunk is measured to assess this relationship.
