Cyber-Syndrome and its Formation, Classification, Recovery and Prevention

The revolutionary change in information and communication technology has made the people’s lives much convenient more than ever before. But it has affected the human’s physical and mental health as well as community’s social connectivity. Cybersyndrome is the physical, social, and mental disorders that affect the human being due to the excessive interaction with the cyberspace. Many previous works have discussed the role that the technology plays in the development of specific disorders, such as Internet addiction disorder or gaming addiction disorder. However, none of these works have explored the effects of excessive interaction with the cyberspace on the people’s lives as a whole and its impact on the social connectivity of the community. Therefore, in this paper, we have presented the formation stages, classification, recovery, and prevention methods of cybersyndrome. We have explored the impact of cybersyndrome in physical, social, and thinking spaces and its future implications and complications.

A GIS based approach for analysing geological and operation conditions influence on road tunnels degradation

Adopting effective maintenance strategies for transportation infrastructures requires good prediction of their long-term behaviour. For planning interventions without affecting the entire network’s capacity, tunnels in particular require a good overview of expected problems. G.I.S. tools are helpful for managing transportation networks since they allow immediate identification the influence of tunnel location on development of specific disorders. A G.I.S. based approach for analysing and predicting degradation processes affecting roads tunnels is presented. The results show how tunnels location may inform on main problems observed in concrete lined tunnels during their service life. The agreement of analyses results and disorders identified during inspections allows considering G.I.S. promising tools for pathologies detection and decision about preventive maintenance.

Commentary: Information-processing in anxiety anddepression - novel targets for translational research, a reflection on Lau and Waters (2017).

Understanding psychopathology in the context of a developmental cognitive neuroscience approach entails the notion that specific individual differences in information processing can serve as both etiologic and maintaining factors in the development of specific disorders. It is posited that such mechanistic understanding of neurocognitive aberrations during development can then serve focused translational efforts in the form of cognitive bias modification treatments. In the review by Lau and Waters (this issue), an astute developmental model is suggested regarding the role of potential neurocognitive mechanisms in depression and anxiety in youth.
