An experiment using a simulated spaceflight scenario was applied to 32 adolescent subjects of both sexes in order to investigate human security and arousal regulation. In adolescence, these motivational systems play a key role in achieving two reorientations: the detachment from primary caregivers and the upcoming interest in strangers, which eventually establishes a new and mature form of attachment. Based on a control model proposed in an earlier article of this series, a parameter estimation was performed which allowed for a satisfactory simulation of the actual flight behavior of most subjects. A psychologically plausible interpretation of the parameters was possible. In particular, the results obtained indicate a gender specific differentiation in the development of both motivational systems during adolescence.

Mind wandering can cause workers to overlook safety hazards and delay making accurate operational decisions, ultimately raising the potential for accidents. However, there is relatively little research on the physiological characteristics of drilling workers during mind wandering. The aim of this investigation was to tackle the constraints of previous studies and to establish a more comprehensive theoretical framework and practical guidance for safety management.

Article Synopsis
- Metasurface holography aims to create high-quality holographic images using nanostructured materials but has faced challenges in dynamic tuning, especially in the visible light range.
- This research introduces a thermally tunable metasurface made from vanadium dioxide (VO) nanofins that can generate variable holographic images by changing temperature, effectively leveraging VO's transition between insulator and metal states.
- The study highlights the potential applications of this technology in high-security areas such as digital encryption, where distinct images can be displayed based on thermal conditions, emphasizing its versatility for dynamic displays and anti-counterfeiting measures.

Several validated image sets, such as NAPS, IAPS, GAPED, and OASIS, have been developed to elicit affective states. However, these image sets were primarily validated on Western populations within European and American contexts, and none have been fully validated in a Southeast Asian sample, where emotional restraint may also be valued similarly to the East Asian contexts. This study aimed to validate and provide norms for the Nencki Affective Picture System (NAPS; Marchewka et al.

Emergency and crisis events can impair daily functioning. In crisis situations, individuals react with different intensity and in different ways. The research question in this study was: What are the mechanisms of action in biodanza that lead to the increase of resilience, affectivity, vitality, and morale in times of war? One hundred and twelve dancers participated in this mixed-method study, their biodanza experience ranging from one to over 15 years.

The longer-term trend towards decreasing foreign assistance has aroused great interest in tracking domestic funding given that more than half of the anticipated additional funding for nutrition is expected from domestic sources. Given the limited trend analysis of nutrition budgets across developing countries, this review aimed to examine trends in nutrition financing as a proxy of national commitment to nutrition. We explored the programme-based budget allocations and expenditure from 2017 to 2019 in the Chad Republic, Gambia and Ghana for food and nutrition security (FNS) activities in various sectors.
