Server connection versus marital disconnection: An investigation of the effect of internet addiction on couple burnout in Iran

The internet has become ubiquitous in many people's lives to an extent that necessitates the investigation of its impact on marital relationships. There has been a lack of such studies in the Iranian context and the present study investigated the relationship between internet addiction and couple burnout. A total of 377 married individuals participated in an online survey comprising demographic information, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and the Couple Burnout Measure (CBM). Partial least squares –structure equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to assess the relationships in the proposed research model. Structural equation modelling showed a significant effect of sub-components of internet addiction (lack of control; social withdrawal and emotional conflict; time management problems; and concealing problematic behavior) on emotional burnout. In addition, lack of control and time management problems showed significant and positive effect on somatic burnout. However, the relationships between internet addiction components and psychological burnout were not demonstrated as hypothesized. Given the explained relationships between factors comprising internet addiction and couple burnout, couple therapists need to be made more aware of the risks of internet overuse upon marital relationships and to encourage couples to optimize the internet use to prevent negative outcomes (in particular emotional burnout) among couples.

Otro fin del mundo es posible. Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, de la bioeconomía a la arquitectura

For many, the degrowth problem is the problem of time management, not just resources. Reflecting upon the work of the Romanian-born economist Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, this article applies the theory of the irreversible quality of (natural) resources used for economic purposes to architecture. The discussion helps us to think about whether architecture could, given its material quality, extend the life or death of the world or whether we are subject to the - very contemporary - brevity of its extravagance.

Self-adaptive coordination for fuel-constrained robot teams with periodic and aperiodic communications

This paper introduces a novel mission-planning scheme to coordinate a heterogeneous team of mobile robots under fuel and communication constraints. The proposed scheme has a two-level structure, where the upper level is responsible for scheduling team communication, recharging and regrouping activities, while the lower level provides plans and routes for individual group members. Such decomposition allows us to relieve an overall group routing problem by singling out the harshest constraints as a separate time-management problem. Thus, the high-level planning problem is to construct a group schedule ensuring both the efficient refuelling order and the required communication periodicity. The problem is formulated in terms of workforce scheduling problems and a hybrid evolutionary algorithm is developed to solve it. The lower-level module is to arrange emergent team communication sessions in case of unpredicted events. This original problem combines features of vehicle routing problems and special aspects of multi-agent network spreading models. A few simple ruled-based heuristics are presented to treat the problem in a timely manner.

STRESS IN RELATION TO THEORETICAL AND CLINICAL ACTIVITIES AS EXPERIENCED BY BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING STUDENTS

The profile indicated that the student nurses have a general age of 20 years and below, dominated by female and single. The common stresses as classified: On personal stress: fear of making mistakes; academic stress: Intensity of academic workload; clinical stress: using highly technical equipment while on the time management problems, limited time to take a rest. As to the coping mechanisms, the student nurses did the following: COPING MECHANISMS INDICATORS Logical Analysis Think of different ways to deal with the problem Positive Reappraisal Tell themselves that things would get better Seeking Guidance and Support More prayers for guidance and strengths. Problem Solving Take “thinks a day at a time, one step at a time” Cognitive Avoidance They daydream or imagine a better time or place, than the one they are in. Seeking Alternative Rewards Expect the worst possible outcome Acceptance or Resignation Try to help others deal with a similar problem Emotional Discharge Cry to let their feelings out Significant differences were evident in the coping mechanisms in terms of civil status. Part of the study is the program on coping mechanisms for stress.

Internet Addiction as One of the Main Types of Addiction in Modern High-School Students

Nowadays, the Internet is a tool that is becoming imperative in everyday life. The pandemic in the modern world has exacerbated the problem of Internet addiction, creating the conditions for humanity to stay longer online. Since the majority of users are adolescents and young people, they form the main risk group, which is prone to Internet addiction. The purpose of the study was to explore the features of Internet addiction in high school students in modern Ukrainian society. The study included a comprehensive approach, which provided a combination of the following methods: theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalisation, and systematisation of conceptual provisions on the problem under study); empirical (testing, in particular the method: “Chen Internet Addiction Scale” (CIAS adapted by L. Maligin, K. Feklisov); method of statistical processing. The paper reveals the problem of Internet addiction in high school students in modern conditions, the problems that arise in connection with such dependence, and considers the symptoms of Internet addiction and the reasons for its development. The study discusses the results of the investigation of Internet addiction in high school students, and also reveals differences in components of Internet addiction in adolescents with different levels of addiction. The findings show that most high-school students are prone to Internet addiction, which necessitates timely primary prevention of Internet addiction, starting in adolescence.

Time and Cost Management in the Construction of Large Energy Facilities

The article deals with the problems of time and cost management in the construction of large energy facilities. The practical value of standards in the field of time and cost management in the construction of large energy facilities is often questioned by specialists in various fields of project activity. Practitioners at lower and intermediate levels often complain about the lack of clear and effective tools for solving specific problems in project management practice. However, the skillful application of standards can not only increase the likelihood of success for a wide range of diverse projects of large energy facilities with obtaining expected business values "at the output" of the project. The purpose of this study was to study the features of management terms and cost in the construction of large energy facilities. The objectives of the study included establishing links between the methods recommended by the project management body of knowledge (PMBoK) guidelines for determining the project budget and the methods used in practice for determining the cost of construction projects for large energy facilities, formalized in the current regulatory documents and state building codes of Russia. For this (according to the PMBoK standard), the basic methodological foundations of the project cost management process, its components and characteristic features were determined. The main stages of the life cycle of construction projects of large energy facilities, in which the cost of design work is assessed, are determined, the goals of such an assessment and the project participants who carry it out are determined. As a result, a complete methodological identity was established between the methods for assessing the project cost of large energy facilities recommended by the PMBoK standard and the methods for determining the cost of construction specified in the current regulatory documents in the construction industry in Russia.

Sluggish Cognitive Tempo as a Transdiagnostic Link Between Adult ADHD and Internalizing Symptoms.

Although absent from traditional diagnostic nosologies, Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) may have transdiagnostic utility given its robust associations with ADHD and internalizing symptoms as well as with cognitive impairments common to these conditions. Within-person variation in SCT symptoms may also serve to link ADHD, cognitive deficits, and internalizing psychopathology, however, few studies have utilized intensive longitudinal designs to probe within-person variation in SCT and its links to cognitive deficits and psychopathology. Ecological Momentary Assessment was used to measure between and within-person variance in SCT 4 times per day across 7 days (28 time-points) in 158 college students (approximately 51% with elevated ADHD and/or internalizing symptoms). Participants also completed ratings of current and childhood ADHD symptoms, cognitive function and internalizing psychopathology. Parameters derived from longitudinal multilevel models indexing between and within person variation in SCT were examined as mediators of the associations between (1) ADHD and internalizing symptoms and (2) self-reported cognitive functioning and internalizing symptoms. Results indicated that between-person differences in SCT, but not within-person variability, linked current and childhood ADHD and internalizing symptoms. Similarly, problems in time-management and organization influenced internalizing psychopathology via between-person differences in SCT. Results found that SCT may be a transdiagnostic link bridging mental health comorbidities, cognitive dysfunction, and internalizing psychopathology.

Fabrication and measurement of a fiber optic localized surface plasmon resonance sensor chip for molecular diagnostics

For several decades, the field of molecular diagnostics has been dominated by polymerase chain reaction technology, which usually entails relatively expensive equipment, trained laboratory staff, and problems in time management. Advances in molecular diagnostics aim to provide rapid tests, miniaturized devices, increased user convenience, and high sensitivity. The real-time label-free localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensing technique merges with a small optical fiber and is combined with a microfluidic channel. This fiber optic LSPR sensor chip has the advantages of easy handling, isolation from the external environment, and continuous transport of sample fluid. The microfluidic channel can also accelerate hybridization by supplying the target to the sensor surface in succession. The conditions for the binding of probe deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) on gold nanoparticles are modified. Hybridization of the immobilized probe DNA and target DNA was analyzed using the proposed sensor and the results showed a good response to DNA hybridization with a limit of detection (LOD) level up to 12.3 ng/mL (1.5 nM). The LOD was compared with other LSPR-based DNA sensors and improvement was found. The proposed sensor responded with high linearity (R2 of 0.94) as a function of change in the concentration of the target DNA. Suitable reproducibility for biosensor applications was confirmed with an average coefficient of variation of 12.5 %.

FORMATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF TIME-MANAGEMENT OF A MODERN EXPERT IN THE FIELD OF FINANCE

The article generalizes the psychological peculiarities of time-management of financial experts within the framework of modern understanding of time-management problems. The aim of this research is to substantiate psychological aspects of time-management of a modern expert in the field of finance and their manifestation in theory and practice. The relevance of this research is characterized by the fact that most top-managers haven’t enough organizational skills, compulsory, can’t rationally use personal and working time and aren’t aware in psychological aspects of time-management. The types of time-management are analyzed in the article; the practical characteristics of each type are presented. It is determined that every type of time-management for the employees of financial institutions is quite different and requires the using of special forms of work such as diagnosis, activity analysis, designing, individual counseling, individual or group training, and, accordingly, the using of specialized time-management techniques. The notion of «self-motivation of employees» is characterized: authors propose to consider it more as a vital position, rather than as a managerial characteristic. The article presents methods of self-motivation, which have a positive effect on most people. The modern typology of personality depending on the type of self-motivation including the individual approach to a person is presented: purposeful type, gambling type, hardworking type and creative type.
 The authors give clear symptomatic of the «burnout syndrome», its prevention and practical advice on combating the personnel «burnout» in the company. The conducted research helps to answer on many questions in time-management and personnel management spheres. The classification of time-management and its practical manifestation will help to choose the correctly type of time-management and apply it, effectively use the provided recommendations. The proposed methods of self-motivation, typology of personality will contribute to the formation of a new human behavior and additional motivation in financial sphere and in personal life too.

Triple DES-WSA: an efficient security algorithm providing integrity with aid of MapReduce process

In the last decade, major complications of big-data-to-IoT are data-management, security and time-management and thus the objective of the research is recognising with the problems in big data to extend IoT. In order to accord with the data-management problem an ontology-based matching using H matching algorithm is implemented subsequent to pillar k-means clustering algorithm that segregates meaningful and meaningless information. The time management problem is recognised with the aid of Hadoop with MapReduce that specifies the location hitherto. Consequently, triple DES algorithm with WPA is utilised and that is accountable for providing security by the usage of three keys for both the encryption-decryption. On the other hand, WPA is employed to the data integrity to substantiate whether the data is altered. We have applied ontology based on H-matching algorithm proposed in the sequence of steps: the stop word removal, stemming process, grouping process and the ontology making for matching. We have proposed the methodology to handle three parameters: confidentiality, integrity and authenticity in the context of big-data.

Cross-Sectional Associations between Physical Activity and Internet Addiction among Undergraduate Students in Taiwan

Purpose Internet addiction is a major health concern among undergraduate students; however, few studies have addressed modifiable behavioral factors associated with internet addiction in the context of Taiwan. This study aimed to investigate associations between physical activity and the risk of internet addiction among undergraduate students in Taiwan. Methods In 2017, we recruited 320 undergraduate students from Northern Taiwan to participate in a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey. Physical activity was measured by the Taiwanese short-form version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, which evaluates an individual’s weekly levels of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity (VPA) and moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity (MPA). Internet addiction was measured by the Chen Internet Addiction Scale (CIAS). Results For the 320 surveyed students, the average CIAS score was 53.3, and 18.13% of participants were at risk for internet addiction (defined as CIAS score >64). The results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that a routine of at least 150 min of MPA per week was negatively associated with risk for internet addiction (β=−4.39, 95% CI=[-8.10, -0.66]). No significant associations were observed between internet addiction and 75 min of VPA or 150 min of total physical activity per week. Among the 5 dimensions of the CIAS scale, MPA was negatively associated with tolerance symptoms, time-management problems, and interpersonal and health-related problems when a routine of 150 min per week was adopted. Conclusion A routine of 150 min of MPA per week was associated with a lower risk for internet addiction. Intervention efforts aimed at reducing undergraduate students’ problematic internet use should promote recommended levels of MPA. We also recommend longitudinal research on the effects of engaging in physical activity on the risk of internet addition.
