Full textAbstract:
Gender differences in perceptions of sexual intent and commitment have been the subject of formal and informal inquiry for considerable time. One evolutionary theory, Error Management Theory (EMT), predicts that opposite-sex perceptions of female sexual intent and male commitment intent reflect intrinsic biases that minimize gender-specific evolutionary costs. The results supporting these hypotheses were obtained from subjects regardless of mood. We hypothesized that mood would influence ratings of sexual and commitment intent. Sixty participants (30 males, 30 females) were recruited and exposed to a positive and negative mood condition in counterbalanced groups using video stimuli. Preliminary analyses found an unexpected effect of order of mood induction, necessitating separate analyses of the Positive-Negative (PN) and Negative-Positive (NP) groups. Contrary to the original study, there were no gender effects. Positive moods led to increased ratings of both sexual and commitment intent across genders. Further, negative to positive mood-change was associated with significantly increased ratings. Both males and females attributed significantly higher sexual intent to same-sex rivals than themselves, but only males assessed themselves as having significantly higher commitment intent than same-sex rivals. The EMT model may require adaptation to acknowledge effects of variables such as mood on its predictions of gender-specific biases.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to incorporate social exchange theory to elaborate on the antecedents that underlie consumers’ trust of innovative financial product providers. In particular, this study investigates the mediating role of positive moods in stimulating customer trust. Design/methodology/approach – The research model was tested using data collected from 440 elite customers from top-ten financial holding companies in Taiwan. Structure equation modeling was employed to verify and validate the research model. Findings – The findings suggest that initial trust and customer involvement significantly and positively impact customer moods. In addition, customer initial trust, involvement, and positive moods significantly influence customers’ trusting belief of service providers. Research limitations/implications – This study focussed on the financial services industry only. While this industry represents an ideal new product development context, future research is needed to test the theory in different industries. Practical implications – The research findings advance the understanding of how to successfully build customer trust for innovative products. Originality/value – Current research unfolds the impact of customer involvement on trust development and supplements existing trust study findings by examining the mediating effect of positive mood on trust development through quantitative research. The research findings increase the understanding of how customers develop trust with service provider.

Full textAbstract:
According to mood management theory, individuals are hedonically motivated to select media content that facilitates a positive mood state, which at its core, suggests a desire to escape from—to avoid—affective states that are not positive. In efforts to explain when individuals might make non-hedonic media choices, two studies examined individuals’ coping tendencies and current affect, among other measures, before making a media content choice. Results showed that mood management was most predictive for people who were naturally inclined to cope with stressors using avoidance tactics. Those who were less inclined to engage in avoidance coping strategies did not appear compelled to escape from, that is, improve, their low positive affective state with “happy” media. Findings are discussed in terms of situating mood management behaviors within the larger context of coping strategies. Implications of this research include the furtherance of entertainment theory and technology innovation with regard to tailoring one’s entertainment media diet.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between game items and mood management to show the affective value of game items. Specifically, the study examines the impact of interaction between two negative mood states (stress vs boredom) and types of game items (functional vs decorative) on the purchasing intention of game items.Design/methodology/approachTwo experiments were conducted to predict the outcomes of using game items.FindingsGame users effectively manage their level of arousal and mood valence using game items. The selective exposure theory provides additional understanding of different purchasing behaviors, suggesting that stressed users are more likely to purchase decorative items while bored users purchase functional items to manage their mood.Research limitations/implicationsThe study results show the affective role of game items in mood management. While previous studies focused on the cognitive and functional aspects of purchasing game items, this study extends the value of game items as augmented products.Practical implicationsWhen launching new games, companies should provide game users free game items for mood management. In addition, to increase intervention potential and behavioral affinity, marketers need to develop and launch more game item types.Originality/valueThis study extends the understanding of affective value of game items by applying mood management and selective exposure theories to explain the purchase intention of game items.

ABSTRACTAlthough organisations often implement team-based structures to improve performance, such restructuring does not automatically ameliorate poor performance. The study in this article explores the relationship between team members' negative mood and team processes (social cohesion, workload sharing, team conflict) to determine if negative mood has a detrimental effect on team performance via team processes. Two hundred and forty one participants completed surveys and were involved in an independently rated performance task that was completed over eight weeks. Negative mood was found to influence team processes and as a consequence, team performance. The results, however, were not uniformly negative. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose In today’s complex and challenging work environment, employees’ learning from errors has become critical to organizations’ survival and success. While the literature has highlighted the importance of inclusive leadership for learning behavior in organizations, research on how inclusive leadership promotes employees’ learning from errors has been limited. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to fill this gap by developing and testing a moderated mediation model that emphasizes the key roles of positive mood and gender in the relationship between inclusive leadership and employees’ learning from errors. Design/methodology/approach A multi-time survey method was used in this study to collect data from 202 full-time employees working in China. Findings The hypothesized moderated mediation model in this study was supported. Inclusive leadership facilitated employees’ learning from errors through employees’ positive mood, and employees’ gender moderated both the direct relationship between inclusive leadership and employees’ positive mood and the indirect relationship between inclusive leadership and employees’ learning from errors through employees’ positive mood: the relationships were stronger for female employees than for male employees. Originality/value By incorporating the social role theory into the affective events theory framework, this study may help to open the “black box” of the relationship between inclusive leadership and employees’ learning from errors by explicating the importance of positive mood and gender, thereby shedding light on the timely issues of inclusive leadership, mood, and learning from errors in the workplace.

Full textAbstract:
The current study extends prior research on emotional dynamics within the workplace by examining workplace correlates of within-person affect spin—a form of variability in affect states. Drawing from affective events theory, the current study tests both concurrent and lagged associations between work events, daily affect spin, mood, and daily voluntary workplace behaviors in a 2-week daily diary study of 114 working adults. Multilevel analyses demonstrated that levels of daily affect spin were higher on days in which employees experienced mixed work events (i.e., both positive and negative work events on the same day) compared to days with only positive work events or no work events. Results revealed that daily affect spin was indirectly related to daily organizational citizenship behavior through lower pleasant mood. Lagged analyses suggest the effects of daily spin on mood and voluntary work behaviors may not carry over to the next day. Our findings build upon prior between-person research on affect spin by providing evidence that affect spin can be meaningfully assessed at the within-person level of analysis. Moreover, this article extends prior research and theory by showing that affect spin is an important correlate of workplace events, mood, and voluntary work behavior at the within-person level.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Depression is a major health concern and self-management of depressive symptoms using patient-initiated strategies has the potential to reduce the burden of this condition. A better understanding of behaviour change related to these patient-initiated strategies is needed.
Method: This randomized controlled trial study used an online survey and Knowledge Translation and Transfer theory-based educational intervention to examine the Theory of Planned Behavior model in the context of nine patient-initiated strategies for the self-management of depression and low mood.
Results: Perceived Behavioural Control was identified as the single greatest predictor of Intentions to engage in strategies. Attitudes predicted Intentions to a lesser degree. Subjective Norms were not identified as unique predictors. Theory of Planned Behavior antecedent variables together explained over one third of the variance in Intentions. Intentions to engage in patient-initiated strategies were shown, in some cases, to significantly predict actual engagement in strategies. Level of depressive symptoms did not meaningfully impact any of the antecedent variables or Intentions. Results also suggest that an educational intervention based on Knowledge Translation and Knowledge Transfer principles significantly improved both Attitudes and Subjective Norms – Physician towards patient-initiated strategies. Perceived Behavioural Control and Intentions were not improved as a result of the educational intervention.
Theoretical Conclusions: Findings suggest that the Theory of Planned Behavior functions well in the context of patient-initiated strategies for depression and low mood. Perceived Behavioural Control was identified as the greatest predictor of Intentions to engage in patient-initiated strategies. Results also suggest mood difficulties are not captured by the model’s antecedent variables but instead should be included as an additional variable in this model. The findings of the current study support an integrated model of Knowledge Translation and Transfer and Theory of Planned Behavior.
Practical Conclusions: The current study’s findings provide a better understanding of behaviour change in the context of patient-initiated strategies and will help guide interventions aimed at improving engagement in these behaviours. Findings also provide support and recommendations for the use of Knowledge Translation and Transfer theory-based educational interventions to improve self-management of depression and low mood.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays event extraction systems mainly deal with a relatively small amount of information about temporal and modal qualifications of situations, primarily processing assertive sentences in the past tense. However, systems with a wider coverage of tense, aspect and mood can provide better analyses and can be used in a wider range of text analysis applications. This thesis develops such a system for Turkish language. This is accomplished by extending Open Source Information Mining and Analysis (OPTIMA) research group'<br>s event extraction software, by implementing appropriate extensions in the semantic representation format, by adding a partial grammar which improves the TAM (Tense, Aspect and Mood) marker, adverb analysis and matching functions of ExPRESS, and by constructing an appropriate lexicon in the standard of CORLEONE. These extensions are based on the theory of anchoring relations (Temü<br>rcü<br>, 2007, 2011) which is a cross-linguistically applicable semantic framework for analyzing tense, aspect and mood related categories. The result is a system which can, in addition to extracting basic event structures, classify sentences given in news reports according to their temporal, modal and volitional/illocutionary values. Although the focus is on news reports of natural disasters, disease outbreaks and man-made disasters in Turkish language, the approach can be adapted to other languages, domains and genres. This event extraction and classification system, with further developments, can provide a basis for automated browsing systems for preventing environmental and humanitarian risk.

La teoria de la gestió dels estats d’ànim estipula que les persones intenten readaptar el seu entorn d’estímuls per incrementar la durada i la intensitat dels bons moments i reduir la intensitat i la durada dels mals moments.

A partir de 15 llargues entrevistes de més de dues hores de durada cadascuna i de les dades recollides durant vuit mesos d’informació online dels perfils de Facebook dels enquestats, trobem que les persones creen col•lectivament uns continguts en els seus llocs personals de les xarxes socials que són bàsicament positius i divertits, que fan que els continguts visibles a les xarxes socials siguin predominantment positius i divertits. Aquest fenomen s’explica estudiant detingudament els tipus de continguts que creen les persones, els tipus de continguts que no creen, els tipus de continguts que consumeixen online i els que no consumeixen. Les nostres conclusions demostren que l’ús de les xarxes socials implica una combinació de comportaments contraris i contradictoris. Les marques necessiten entendre la cultura que han creat els consumidors de les xarxes socials, no tan sols per determinar com penetrar i actuar en aquesta cultura, sinó també per trobar noves vies al creixement, més enllà de la comunicació bidireccional i de la construcció de relacions, en què les experiències també s’ofereixin a través de les xarxes socials.<br>En la investigación sobre el consumo de los sitios personales en las redes sociales, como Facebook, YouTube e Instagram, han predominado los proyectos de base identitaria en que las personas utilizan el espacio online para crear y proyectar aquellas identidades que desearían tener a través de un proceso de gestión de la imagen.

In this research, an alternative conceptualization of social media usage, comprising content creation and consumption, is presented using mood management and selective exposure theory derived from media psychology. Mood management theory stipulates that individuals attempt to rearrange their stimulus environment so as to increase the duration and intensity of good moods and reduce the intensity and duration of bad ones. Subsequently, the aims of this research are threefold: (1) to elaborate on the process of collective mood management on personal social media sites, including selective content creation and selective content consumption; (2) to shed light on the consequences of a culture of collective mood management on social media networks; and (3) to identify ways in which brands can leverage themselves in a culture of mood management on and through social media. Using 15 long interviews spanning two hours each and data collected from eight months of online observation of the respondents’ Facebook profiles, I find that individuals collectively create content on their personal social media sites that is primarily positive and entertaining, leading to predominantly positive and entertaining content visible on social media networks. This phenomenon is explained by elaborating on the types of content that individuals create, the types of content they do not create, the types of content that persons consume online and those which they do not consume. The findings demonstrate that social media usage involves a combination of contrary and contradictory behaviours. Understanding the culture created by consumers of social media is not only necessary for brands to determine how to penetrate and engage in such a culture, but is also relevant for brands to find avenues for growth beyond two-way communication and relationship building, in which experiences are also delivered through social media networks.

Full textAbstract:
In light of increasing harmful algal blooms and the need to protect human health and aquatic resources, proactive management approaches merit further study. For this purpose I conducted field samplings to characterize plankton community composition and laboratory experiments to test some approaches to new management schemes in the lower Rincon Delta. On site measurements and microscopic analysis showed that environmental parameters and plankton community composition varied considerably among sampling stations and sampling dates. A recent modeling study suggested that manipulation of freshwater inflow to estuaries might prevent phytoplankton blooms and enhance secondary productivity. To test this theory I conducted three semi-continuous design and flow-through incubation design experiments using natural plankton assemblages. I investigated the effect of two different pulsing regimes of inflow and nutrient loading on zooplankton densities, and phytoplankton biomass and diversity. Despite differences in zooplankton structure and phytoplankton community composition between the two experiment designs, the results confirmed that pulsed inflows might alter plankton dynamics. My findings showed that 3-day pulse treatments consistently supported greater zooplankton densities and higher phytoplankton species diversity when compared to 1-day pulse treatments. In addition, accumulation of phytoplankton biovolume remained low during 3-day pulse treatments. Differences in zooplankton performance between 3-day pulse and 1-day pulse inflow treatments were likely due to the ability of phytoplankton to uptake and store greater amounts of nutrients under conditions of 3-day pulse inflow. This resulted in food of higher quality for zooplankton, and might have supported greater zooplankton population growth rates. Additionally, in an attempt to understand the mechanisms leading to high biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems, I built a resource-storage model and studied the effects of resource-storage on competition of multiple phytoplankton species on multiple abiotic resources. I compared this model with a well-established multi-species competition model. My results showed that for certain species combinations a resource-storage-based model can generate dissimilar outcomes when compared to a model without resource-storage.

Videogames have been historically known for causing negative mood states in players, but there is still more research to be done about the potential for videogames to alleviate these induced negative mood states. Using an online repeated measures survey design, participants were asked to play a game with an impossible difficulty curve unbeknownst to them. They were then instructed to play one of three casual videogames (CVGs). It was hypothesized that increased levels of competency and autonomy would lead to a decrease in participants’ negative mood state as per Self-Determination Theory. In addition, the act of playing CVGs was also predicted to decrease participants’ negative mood state as per Mood Management Theory. To test for this, participants were asked questions regarding their feelings of competency, autonomy, and overall mood state throughout the experiment. Support was not found for competency and autonomy helping alleviate negative mood states, but support was found for CVGs and their healing potential towards negative mood states. The implications of these results as well as the potential for future research is discussed.

Motivation is that which moves us to action. Human motivation is thus a complex issue, as people are moved to action by both their evolved natures and by myriad familial, social, and cultural influences. The Oxford Handbook of Human Motivation aims to capture the current state-of-the-art in this fast developing field. The book includes theoretical overviews from some of the best-known thinkers in this area, including articles on Social Learning Theory, Control Theory, Self-determination Theory, Terror Management Theory, and the Promotion and Prevention perspective. Topical articles appear on phenomena such as ego-depletion, flow, curiosity, implicit motives, and personal interests. A section specifically highlights goal research, including chapters on goal regulation, achievement goals, the dynamics of choice, unconscious goals and process versus outcome focus. Still other articles focus on evolutionary and biological underpinnings of motivation, including articles on cardiovascular dynamics, mood, and neuropsychology. Finally, articles bring motivation down to earth in reviewing its impact within relationships, and in applied areas such as psychotherapy, work, education, sport, and physical activity.

Full textAbstract:
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and mood disorder (MD) can be difficult to differentiate from each other due to several overlapping clinical features. Among BPD symptoms, chronic dysphoria can be mistaken for major depression, while affective instability may be confused with the depressed and elevated mood episodes of bipolar disorder (BD). Conversely, in those with BPD, co-occurring MDs can be difficult to rigorously assess and treat. Even though there is moderate to high co-occurrence between these conditions, BPD and MDs have distinct facets of impulsivity, affective instability, and mood symptoms. Furthermore, BPD, MD, and their co-occurrence predict courses of illness, prognosis, treatment outcomes, and suicide risk. Consequently, thorough assessment and differential diagnosis of these conditions should inform treatment planning and clinical management in both BPD and MD.

This chapter reviews the potential uses of integrative psychiatry and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approaches for the management of patients with mood disorders. Mood disorders are among the most prevalent mental health issues affecting people today. A variety of pharmacological and psychological interventions are available currently for patients with mood disorders, however, many seek CAM for treatment. CAM interventions can include vitamins and supplements, herbal and botanical remedies, meditation and spiritual practices, acupuncture, and dietary and healthy living lifestyle modification. There is increased public interest in the use of integrative therapies in mood disorders. An increasing number of randomized clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of integrative interventions both as monotherapy and as adjunct therapeutic approaches to treat mood disorders. This chapter presents an overview of research regarding integrative treatment approaches for mood and affective disorders to provide clinical direction regarding the use of such interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Other than for clozapine, there are no pharmacological interventions with robust evidence of a positive benefit–risk balance for the treatment-resistant schizophrenia. For patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, there is usually little to be gained, in comparison to switching the antipsychotic to clozapine, from alternatives such as a further switch to a non-clozapine antipsychotic medication, the prescription of high-dose or combined antipsychotic medications, or the augmentation of continuing antipsychotic medication with other medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, or benzodiazepines. However, where these are tried, each initiation of high-dose or combined antipsychotic medication or an augmentation strategy should be treated as an individual trial and appropriately monitored and reviewed, with discontinuation in case of inefficacy or benefit that is outweighed by safety or tolerability concerns.

Full textAbstract:
Mood disorders are a global health issue. National guidance for their detection and management have been published in the US and in Europe. Despite this, the rate at which depression is recognized and managed in primary and secondary care settings remains low and suggests that many clinicians are still unsure how to screen people for mood disorders. Against the backdrop of this problem, the editors of this volume have designed a book with a dynamic two-fold purpose: to provide an evidence-based overview of screening methods for mood disorders, and to synthesize the evidence into a practical guide for clinicians in a variety of settings--from cardiologists and oncologists, to primary care physicians and neurologists, among others. The volume considers all important aspects of depression screening, from the overview of specific scales, to considerations of technological approaches to screening, and to the examination of screening with neurological disorders, prenatal care, cardiovascular conditions, and diabetes and cancer care, among others. This book is sure to capture the attention of any clinician with a stake in depression screening.

Substance use disorders are frequently comorbid with mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders, and they commonly present in tandem in both primary care and psychiatric settings. Unfortunately, in the past, individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders would receive treatment in community mental health clinics only after their substance use disorder was “stabilized.” There has been increasing recognition that integrated treatment is necessary for these individuals to fully succeed and achieve recovery. This chapter uses a common presentation to illustrate up-to-date screening and treatment recommendations. Motivational interviewing, contingency management, cognitive–behavioral therapy, and medication-assisted treatment are explored. A discussion of the continuum of community-based services and systems challenges follows.

Full textAbstract:
Manic syndromes in the elderly are different from those seen in the younger bipolar population. They are a heterogenous group but can probably be divided into two main groups based on age of onset of the illness: late onset bipolar disorder (LOB) and early onset bipolar disorder (EOB). This chapter elaborates on differences in these two groups based on epidemiological data findings, clinical presentation, aetiopathogenesis and management. Latest concepts with regards to the vascular mania hypothesis, neuroimaging findings, cognitive impairment in bipolar disorder are also dealt with. A critical review of pharmacological management options is also provided with reference to recently published data on mood stabilisers, antipsychotic and antidepressant usage for this age group.

Full textAbstract:
The presentation of bipolar disorder in young people can be different from that of adults; therefore, the approach to treatment differs slightly. Treatment is described for early intervention, acute mania, bipolar depression, relapse prevention, and refractory bipolar disorder. A strong therapeutic alliance with the patient and engagement and involvement of the patient’s family is critical to successful intervention. The evidence informing treatment is limited, but there is emerging research focused on the management of acute mania favouring monotherapy with a second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) over a mood stabilizer. Preliminary data favour a combination of an SGA and antidepressant over monotherapy with an SGA for the treatment of bipolar depression. Guidelines endorse electroconvulsive therapy for refractory mania and bipolar depression but there is no clinical trial evidence to support this practice. The development of algorithms to guide the management of all phases of bipolar disorder is a work in progress.

Full textAbstract:
Self-management interventions focus on components such as information, medication taking, mood management, and practical strategies for support in daily life. This chapter argues that, in addition to these strategies, fostering hope is important to effective self-management in both physical and mental health. Hope is a cognitive set, focused on the future, and is operationalized as cross-situational goals and behaviors to achieve these goals. A unique intervention, built on positive psychology and hope theory, is described to exemplify the evidence and application of these concepts. The “Help to Overcome Problems Effectively” (HOPE) program’s design, content, and outcomes are provided. Further research is suggested, focusing on exploring hope as a mechanism for change.

Full textAbstract:
Depression is a common but serious mood disorder that negatively affects how people think, feel, and function in their everyday life, and it can lead to other emotional and physical problems. This chapter provides a foundation for understanding depressed mood within the framework of integrative mental health nursing. Integrative mental health nursing is founded on the principles of whole-person, relationship-based care provided within the personal, lived context using a range of therapies to support the individual’s health and healing. Nursing approaches are exemplified in the chapter through a case study of an adolescent experiencing depression. Integrative nursing care for persons with depression is based on interventions that move from least intensive/invasive approaches to more, depending on need and context. Integrative nurses incorporate evidence-informed traditional and nontraditional approaches and can effectively promote wellbeing in persons with depressed moods.

Full textAbstract:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers to a triad of impairments encompassing differences in social interaction, social communication, social imagination, and difficulties in adjusting behavioural repertoire. Other common features include sensory differences, which are now becoming acknowledged as a core component, as well as dietary and sleep difficulties. ASD affects people across the whole range of intellectual ability—from individuals with associated severe ID through to highly skilled engineers and academics; however, each person affected experiences difficulties understanding the world and impaired social functioning due to underlying common core cognitive difficulties, namely lack of Theory of Mind, resulting in empathy difficulties, lack of Central Coherence, making it ‘difficult to see the wood for the trees’ and difficulties with Executive Functioning. Genetic factors play an important role in causation, likely coupled with an early environmental insult. ASD is more common in people with ID, with around one third of those with moderate to severe ID able to be diagnosed; epilepsy is another common association. Comorbidity is common, including neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. ADHD), psychiatric disorders (e.g. mood and anxiety disorders), and challenging behaviour, all requiring recognition in their own right. Management of the core condition primarily focuses on appropriate social and education/employment support along with awareness training for those supporting the person, with medication reserved for associated conditions such as management of mood. Capacity and risk issues arising from difficulties understanding the world, predicting consequences of actions and accepting the need for support also need addressing. Effective management of associated difficulties such as sleep disturbance can be equally vital for quality of life.

In today's scenario, the millennials are keen towards the mobile technology wherein they expect to use the best of it in all aspects of their lives. Online channels help the millennials to enhance their shopping experiences by taking a glance at the reviews, ratings, value, and pricing of the products. This can be attributed to the streamlined services coupled with the free trials and delivery, and additional discounts offered by the apps. But, at the same time, how their mood affects their decision is still a question. For instance, if the consumers are in a good mood, they are likely to shop more. However, if they are in a low mood, they might not shop for anything. This study includes the mind and mood analysis of the young millennial consumers while shopping for apparels online. The study will involve in-depth interviews of 21 customers. The analysis will be done through the Leximancer tool. Additionally, this chapter would help the retailers understand the range of mood, which the customers display while purchasing apparels online and accordingly devise their strategies.

Full textAbstract:
The term ‘‘mood stabilizers’’ refers to a heterogeneous group of medications that are effective in the treatment of bipolar disorder, an illness characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and major depression. The list of mood stabilizers includes lithium, several anticonvulsant medications, and atypical antipsychotic medications. For some of these medications, there have been randomized, placebo-controlled studies demonstrating efficacy in reducing the severity and frequency of illness episodes (Kahn et al., 2000). For other medications, the evidence supporting therapeutic use in mood disorders is more anecdotal or preliminary. Late-onset bipolar disorder beginning after 50 years of age is more likely to be associated with comorbid medical or neurologic condition, or their treatments (McDonald, 2000; Depp and Jeste, 2004). A number of medications have been known to precipitate manic episodes. These include antiparkinsonian medications, corticosteroids, anticholinergic agents, and antidepressants. In addition, manic episodes may develop in patients with Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, seizure disorders, dementia, neurosyphilis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and some poststroke syndromes. The goal of long-term psychiatric management is to minimize affective upheaval and to diminish frequency of mood cycling. Psychotic symptoms are common in bipolar disorder, and severe behavioral disturbances such as physical aggression can occur as well during manic episodes. Depressive episodes are accompanied by a risk of suicide. Given the potential for these severe complications, and the need for continual medication reassessment and adjustment, the long-term pharmacologic and psychologic treatment of bipolar disorder is best managed by a psychiatrist. Lithium, the oldest of the mood-stabilizing medications, is also considered to be the ‘‘gold standard’’ of treatment against which all other potentially mood-stabilizing medications are compared. It is still the treatment of choice for many patients with bipolar disorder, and it has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treatment of manic episodes and for maintenance therapy. At least eight placebo-controlled, randomized trials have shown lithium to have efficacy in maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder (Goodwin, 2002). Lithium is effective in reducing risk of recurrent episodes of both mania and depression, although studies have suggested greater superiority in reducing risk of manic episodes.

Full textAbstract:
Massive open online courses (MOOC) are online courses in which there are no requirements for students to enroll and that have the capacity to serve thousands or even hundreds of thousands of students simultaneously. MOOCs are complex to develop due to their dual nature: on the one hand, they are an educational product; on the other hand, they are a software product hosted on a web platform. Due to the novelty of MOOCs, there is a lack of proven methodologies for their development. In this chapter, the authors propose a lifecycle for the development and management of MOOCs that allows educators to focus on teaching, interaction with their students, and other elements indispensable for the success of the learning experience. The proposed lifecycle includes three stages: development, management, and improvement of the MOOC.

The pedophilia case discussed in the chapter by Jill Stinson and Judith Becker is an excellent example of empirical and theory-driven sexual offending treatment. The patient, John, was given a range of cognitive behavioral interventions that represents some of the best treatment available for sexual offenders. However, I would like to make three observations. First, John has been in treatment for a long time and has made only modest progress. Second, all three treatment approaches used are examples of a risk management approach. The focus is on John’s array of risk factors and psychological deficits, and constructive, strength-based elements only function as moderators of treatment implementation. Third, John has comorbid mental disorders alongside his pedophilia and therefore is not a straightforward example of a sex offender. This fact points to a need to take his mood disorder and personality dysfunction in account when designing a treatment program....

Full textAbstract:
This study explores whether organizations can employ job design strategies to relieve organizational stress for information technology (IT) professionals. The effect of flexible work schedule, employee support and training, and telecommuting as potential coping resources to relieve stress were studied. Perceived workload, role ambiguity, work facilitation, and decision latitude were drawn from previous studies as potential stressors of IT professionals. Perceived stress was measured by two commonly used measures: work exhaustion and depressed mood. The results suggest that removing role ambiguity and improving work-facilitation ease work-related stress. Allowing employees to have flexible work schedules was also found to ease their perceptions of workload. Employee support and training strategies were found to influence decision latitude and role ambiguity. Telecommuting did not have any effect on the stressors. Results also indicate that the association between work exhaustion and depressed mood was stronger for males than females.

Full textAbstract:
Interest is growing in educational designs that blend MOOCs with on-campus teaching and researchers are seeking to incorporate the spirit of a MOOC into a hybrid model. This article reports on the current experience of a higher education institution embarking on blended learning models. The aim of this article is to present a case study and to discuss the strategic approach to integrating a MOOC at undergraduate level. The evaluation strategy of this experience uses surveys and focus groups to interpret the results and the perspective of the various stakeholders. The analysis synthesizes the opinion of the main stakeholders – the institution, the students and the academic staff – and shows that in addition to improving the financial viability of MOOCs, blended learning models improve the quality of students' education, strengthen students' academic performance, and encourage academic staff to constantly innovate their teaching and learning process.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been a popular trend in the online learning landscape. However, MOOC learners have expressed their dissatisfaction with the courses or problems with course management. To develop a widely accepted MOOC, the main aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of MOOCs by using eight themes: learning outcomes, affective elements, behaviours, design, technology elements, pedagogy, presence and institutional environment. Using the case study approach, we explored the practices of four MOOCs in an Excel specialisation by using student unsolicited feedback, the literature and the analysis of the MOOCs by researchers. We analysed the learners’ posts on the official forums with auto-code sentiment and text search functions in Nvivo 12 Plus. The results of this study showed that high-rated MOOCs had approximately 74.7% of positive sentiments on discussion forums, with 1.2% negative and 24.1% neutral. The results indicated that MOOCs helped learners improve their level of knowledge in the subject area. Teachers/instructors also play a very significant role, and they have to provide clear explanations in different concepts. To conclude, this study intends to offer guidelines to researchers, educators, and MOOC designers to create successful MOOCs by focusing on the eight dimensions.

Full textAbstract:
Enbridge Pipelines Inc. operates the world’s longest and most complex liquids pipeline network. As part of Enbridge’s Integrity Management Program In-Line Inspections have been and will continue to be conducted on more than 15,000 km of pipeline. The Inspection Programs have included using the most technologically advanced geometry tools in the world to detect geometrical discontinuities such as ovality, dents, and buckles. During the past number of years, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. has been involved in developing a method of evaluating the suitability of dents in pipelines for continued service. The majority of the work involved the development of a method of modeling the stresses within a dent using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The development and validation of this model was completed by Fleet Technology Limited (FTL) through several projects sponsored by Enbridge, which included field trials and comparisons to previously published data. This model combined with proven fracture mechanics theory provides a method of determining a predicted life of a dent based on either the past or future operating conditions of the pipeline. CSA Standard Z662 – Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems provides criteria for the acceptability of dents for continued service. There have been occurrences, however, where dents that meet the CSA acceptability criteria have experienced failure. The dent model is being used to help define shape characteristics in addition to dent depth, the only shape factor considered by CSA, which contribute to dent failure. The dent model has also been utilized to validate the accuracy of current In-Line Inspection techniques. Typically a dent will lose some of its shape as the overburden is lifted from the pipeline and after the indentor is removed. Often there can be a dramatic “re-rounding” that will occur. The work included comparing the re-rounded dent shapes from a Finite Element model simulating the removal of the constraint on the pipe to the measured dent profile from a mold of the dent taken in the field after it has been excavated. This provided a measure of the accuracy of the tool. This paper will provide an overview of Enbridge’s dent management program, a description of the dent selection process for the excavation program, and a detailed review of the ILI validation work.

Full textAbstract:
The use of a rapid manufacturing method to create injection mould tools offers the opportunity to create conformal cooling channels in the core/cavity inserts. Conformal cooling channels allow for better thermal management of the injection mold tool through the cycle, with the potential to reduce cycle times and/or improve product quality. However, currently available rapid manufacturing methods do not deliver the levels of accuracy and surface finish required to meet typical injection mould tool specifications. This paper reports on a hybrid approach to developing the mold inserts, which uses the rapid manufacturing process of indirect selective laser sintering (SLS), using the 3D Systems LaserForm process, to create a near net shape insert with conformal cooling channels, and then produces the net shape inserts by using high speed machining (HSM) as a finishing process. This approach to injection mold tool development has been tested through three industrial case studies. In each study existing injection mold inserts have been redesigned to give a conformally cooled tool. These have then been manufactured to near net shape in a steel/bronze metal composite through indirect SLS, and finished to production specification using HSM, EDM and polishing. Within the case studies the main aim has been to improve productivity, and the inserts have been evaluated in industrial trials in order to assess their performance in terms of cycle time, energy usage, durability and quality. The results show that significant productivity improvements and energy use reductions in injection molding are possible through the implementation of conformal cooling. Consistency of part quality and material durability have been assessed through extended molding trials, and in some cases there is a clear economic benefit to using the inserts. However, the importance of up front modelling to understand the impact of conformal cooling channels, the need for careful planning in manufacture to ensure that the required internal geometry is created, and the need for multiple representations of the required geometry to inform the different stages of the manufacture process are highlighted.

With more and more courses being offered online teachers are constantly being asked to change their teaching style. Online courses have taken another turn with the innovation, which are the MOOCs. MOOCs being non-fee paying courses, delivered mostly by recognised universities, course organisation and management was bound to change. With less than 10% successful completion rate for MOOC courses and keeping in mind the Mauritian context, the Open University of Mauritius decided to offer a hybrid MOOC. By hybrid Daniel Peraya suggests blended courses that is online training and face-to-face sessions. It is more about tutoring and guiding students rather than mere teaching. Our main objective is to show the effectiveness of a Hybrid MOOC in terms of organisation and course structure. The methods used in this paper are: a survey questionnaire and data from a Moodle platform. The fact that this course has been organised in a blended mode has helped the participants to reach the end of the training with a higher completion rate, face to face sessions helped students to interact, the use of Moodle as an additional platform accessssed by a restricted number of participants proved to be helpful to get aquainted to online learning.

University of Tennessee Health Science Center, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21007/con.dnp.2021.0004.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract: Multiple studies have found that psychiatric disorders, like mood disorders and substance use disorders, are highly comorbid among adults with either disorder. Integrated treatment refers to the treatment of two or more conditions and the use of multiple therapies such as the combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Integrated therapy for comorbidity per numerous studies has consistently been superior to the treatment of individual disorders separately. The purpose of this QI project was to identify the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) instead of current treatment as usual for treating Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or mental health diagnosis independently. It is a retrospective chart review. The review examines CBT's efficacy for engaging individuals with co-occurring mood and substance u se disorders in treatment by enhancing adherence and preventing disengagement and relapse. Methods: Forty adults aged 26-55 with a DSM-IV diagnosis of a mood disorder of Major Depressive Disorder and/or anxiety and concurrent substance use disorder (at least weekly use in the past month). Participants received 12 sessions of individual integrated CBT treatment delivered with case management over a 12-week period. Results: The intervention was associated with significant improvements in mood disorder, substance use, and coping skills at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-treatment. Conclusions: These results provide some evidence for the effectiveness of the integrated CBT intervention in individuals with co-occurring disorders. Of note, all psychotherapies are efficacious; however, it would be more advantageous to develop a standardized CBT that identifies variables that facilitate treatment outcomes specifically to comorbid disorders of substance use and mood disorders. It is concluded that there is potentially more to be gained from further studies using randomized controlled designs to determine its efficacy.

Citizen Science Projects: How to make a difference, is a massive open online course (MOOC). It was developed by the H2020 WeObserve project and ran on the FutureLearn platform from 2019. The course was designed to assist learners from all backgrounds and geographical locations to discover how to build their own citizen science project to address global challenges and create positive change. It also helped learners with interpreting the information they collected and using their findings to educate others about important local and global concerns. The main learning objectives for the course were: * Discover what citizen science and citizen observatories are * Engage with the general process of a citizen science project, the tools used and where they can be accessed * Collect and analyse data on relevant issues such as environmental challenges and disaster management, and discuss the results of their findings * Explore projects happening around the world, what the aims of these projects are and how learners could get involved * Model the steps to create their own citizen science project * Evaluate the potential of citizen science in bringing about change This course also provided five open-source, downloadable tools which have been tested in previous citizen science projects and created for the use of a wider range of projects. These tools are listed below and available in the research repository: * Empathy timeline tool * Community-level indicators tool * Data postcards tool * Future newspaper tool * Co-evaluation tool
