As individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) transition to adulthood, problem behavior may present restrictions to an independent lifestyle. In addition, problem behavior may interfere with performance of daily routines necessary for independent living. We developed a successful treatment for automatically reinforced toilet lid destruction of an adolescent with ASD during routine bathroom visits. The treatment was informed by a competing stimulus assessment (CSA) that identifies a preferred stimulus, the presentation of which is intended to compete with automatic reinforcement of problem behavior. Results indicated that access to the competing stimulus reduced the participant's toilet lid destruction while in the bathroom, and these treatment gains maintained during long term follow-up visits.

Department of Nutrition, General Hospital of Thessaloniki "G. Gennimatas", 41 Ethnikis Aminis Str., GR-54635 Thessaloniki, Greece.
Background/objectives: Feeding and eating disorders (FEDs) constitute an important mental health problem today, especially among youngsters. The Sick, Control, One, Fat, Food (SCOFF) questionnaire was developed 25 years ago and remains the most frequently applied screening tool for FEDs among adults and youngsters. The aim of the present study was to translate and adapt the SCOFF questionnaire to the Greek language, using a tertiary-setting adolescent sample.

(1) Background: The consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) constitutes a public health problem given their high availability and easy accessibility among children and young people and their influence on the development of non-communicable diseases in the long term. In this context, culture and religion may be modulating factors for the consumption of processed food. The aim of this study is to assess the consumption of UPFs in Spanish schoolchildren living in Melilla (North Africa), together with the possible impact of religion on this.

Laser cladding technology is an effective method for producing wear-resistant coatings on damaged substrates, improving both wear and corrosion resistance, which extends the service life of components. However, the fabrication of hard and brittle materials is highly susceptible to the problem of cracking. Using gradient transition layers is an effective strategy to mitigate the challenge of achieving crack-free laser-melted wear-resistant coatings.
