A functional analysis examined the relation between consequences that maintained episodic problem behavior (aggression, property destruction, and elopement) in the presence and absence of manic behaviors (MB). Results suggested that the presence of MB was correlated with the sensitivity of problem behavior to attention as a reinforcer during a functional analysis and that problem behaviors were maintained by attention. Noncontingent reinforcement was subsequently implemented and demonstrated to be effective in reducing problem behavior during the presence of manic behaviors.

The co-infection of TB and HIV creates a deadly combination, increasing susceptibility and complicating disease progression and treatment. Ethiopia, classified as a high-burden country, faces significant challenges despite efforts to reduce co-infection rates.

In this paper, the state estimation problem is investigated for a general class of nonlinear networked systems subject to both external disturbances and stochastic deception attacks. In the presence of deception attacks, a novel hybrid stubborn extended state observer (ESO) is established to estimate the states and total disturbances, simultaneously. In addition, the event-triggered mechanism (ETM) is introduced utilizing the estimation errors to relieve the burden of the transmission networks.

The government has implemented a cognitive function test at the time of driver's license renewal and has taken measures to disallow driving by elderly drivers with Alzheimer's disease, but drivers with MCI and other types of dementia continue to drive. One of the measures recommended to contribute to the safe driving of elderly drivers is to encourage them to talk to their passengers.
