In this paper we present a study of highway traffic flow optimization using Partial Velocity Synchronization (PVS). PVS is a Cellular Automaton (CA) model that is extended by a communication layer providing the ability to exchange relevant information between vehicles. We show that it is possible to enhance traffic flow on highways significantly with a small number of velocity recommendations computed from the traffic conditions ahead. Furthermore we show that only a limited number of hops in an information chain is necessary to reschedule the vehicles on a given highway segment to avoid the formation of shockwaves. Our results show that traffic flow will be increased while travel time and emissions will be reduced dramatically. [less ▲]

This study examined whether experience with different computer-based complex problem situations would improve complex problem solving (CPS) competence in an unknown problem situation. We had N = 110 university students take part in a control group study. They were trained in five different complex problem situations for up to 7 hr, and their performance was tested in a sixth complex problem situation. The data analyses revealed that the training influenced the CPS process of knowledge acquisition. However, the CPS process of knowledge application was not impacted by experience with other problem situations. Implications for the concept of CPS as a trainable competence as well as the training of CPS in general are discussed. [less ▲]

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe mental disorder characterized by an unstable sense of self, intense and rapidly changing affect, as well as impulsive and self-destructive behaviors. Interpersonal relationships of individuals with BPD are characterized by marked instability, a lack of dependability, and quick changes between love and hate. For children of individuals with BPD, this can lead to permanent stress and attachment insecurity and an increased risk of adverse physical and mental health development. To reduce dysfunctional parenting and improve positive parenting, and in turn, to promote healthy child development, a group intervention for mothers with BPD was developed. This study aims to evaluate this first disorder-specific parenting intervention for BPD in a randomized controlled trial. METHOD: In a parallel-group, two-arm, randomized controlled trial, an initial N = 178 mothers diagnosed with BPD and their children aged 6 months to 6 years are assigned to either the parenting intervention or a waiting control group. If taking place, participants of both groups continue their regular treatment for BPD diagnosis (e.g., individual therapy, medication). The primary outcomes are changes in parenting from baseline (day 0) to post intervention (week 12) and follow-up (6 months after group intervention; month 9). The waiting control group can attend the group intervention at the end of all assessments. Participants allocated to the intervention group are expected to show improvement in their parenting and a reduction in child abuse potential. Maternal emotion regulation and mental distress are analyzed as secondary outcomes. DISCUSSION: Mothers with BPD may need tailored help when reporting difficulties raising their children. The first disorder-specific parenting intervention has been developed to close this gap. ProChild is part of a large government-supported consortium, which aims to investigate different aspects of abuse and maltreatment in childhood and adolescence.

Motivational interference refers to affective, cognitive, and behavioral' impairments during a focal activity due to conflicting action tendencies. In the present study, we focused on antecedents and domain-specific consequences of motivational interference during everyday study activities using an experience sampling approach. Fifty-eight university students provided real-time reports on their daily studying activities (N = 672) over the course of one week. They reported on their momentary affect, whether they experienced motivational conflict during their study activities, and, if so, indicated when this feeling emerged. After the experience sampling period, they reported on their academic and social adaptation as well as their study satisfaction, and rated their relative performance. Compared with non-conflicted studying activities, we found considerably lower positive affect during conflicted studying. Conflicts that existed before the initiation of the study activity, and conflicts that emerged during studying, yielded affective impairments. As expected, aggregated conflict experiences negatively predicted measures of academic functioning, but not students' social adaptation. The discussion focuses on motivational antecedents of interference effects during self-regulated learning. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. [less ▲]

Die Border Studies durchlaufen auch in der Großregion eine spürbare Institutionalisierung. Allerdings hier mit der Besonderheit, dass Fragen der Grenze und die damit verbundenen Phänomene nicht nur untersucht und gelehrt werden, sondern dass dies selbst grenzüberschreitend stattfindet. Hier haben sich Grenzforscher_innen der Universitäten des Saarlandes, Kaiserslautern, Trier, Lothringen, Luxemburg und Lüttich im Jahr 2014 unter dem Dach der Universität Großregion (UniGR) zusammengeschlossen. Mit dem grenzüberschreitenden Netzwerk „UniGR-Center for Border Studies“ haben sie sich eine Plattform gegeben, um Grenzforschungen enger abzustimmen, an die internationale Fachdebatte besser anzuschließen und Erkenntnisse der Grenzforschung in die universitäre Lehre zu tragen. Grenzforschung, wie sie sich aktuell in der Großregion formiert und künftig entwickeln wird, ist hier an die Erfahrung der Grenze geknüpft und bleibt ein kollektives Unterfangen der UniGR-Grenzforscher_innen.

The paper presents an original corpus of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conferences. The dataset is a unique source of information on official positions and diplomatic narratives of China mapping almost two decades of its foreign policy discourse. The corpus contains almost 23 000 question – answer dyads from 2002 to 2020 ready to be used for analytical purposes. We argue the dataset is an important contribution to the scholarship on Chinese foreign policy stimulating further research using corpus based methods while employing both qualitative and quantitative strategies. We demonstrate possible applications of the corpus with two case studies: first maps the diplomatic discourse towards the US under the presidency of Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping (employing quantitative tools), while second analyzes narratives concerning the South China Sea disputes (employing more qualitative approach).
