In a highly competitive and high-pressure workplace environment, more and more employees may fall into negative work situations such as work disengagement. The actual effectiveness of avoidant job crafting as a proactive behavior of employees in copi...

Organizations need high performance from their employees to achieve their goals, provide specialized services and products, and ultimately secure a competitive edge. Performance is also a source of satisfaction for employees, as it creates feelings o...

Despite known links between men’s avoidant coping behaviours (e.g., distraction, denial, substance use) and suicide risk, little research has explored the mechanisms underpinning this relationship. This study sought to examine whether male-type...

Heightened anxiety can impair perceptual-motor performance, with detrimental effects potentially arising, in part, from threat-related attentional biases and interpretations. Shifting from a flight (i.e., threat) mindset to a fight (i.e., challenge)...

This study analyzes the moderating role of avoidant coping (in early pregnancy) in the relationship between postpartum depressive (PPD) symptoms and maternal perceptions about mother–baby relations and self-confidence. Participants were 116 low...

Proximity-seeking in distress situations is one of attachment theory’s primary strategies; insecure individuals often also develop secondary strategies. The mechanisms implied in attachment deactivation constitute a key issue in the current deb...

The diagnosis of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) was added to the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-5) just 10 years ago. This disorder consists of the failure to meet one’s nutritional and/or energy n...

Avoidant/Restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a feeding disorder characterized by persistent difficulty eating, such as limited choices of preferred foods, avoidance or restriction of certain foods or food groups, and negative emotions related...

Research on workplace cyberbullying (WCB) is still scarce and needs verification. This study addressed the indirect influence of positive and negative leadership on WCB via perceived role stressors and negative team climate. The main goal is to test...

The primary purpose of this study was to examine differences among youth with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) by age, weight status, and symptom duration. A secondary goal was to report the frequencies of ARFID using DSM-5 clinical...

Despite the documented relationship between active-approaching leadership behaviors and workplace safety, few studies have addressed whether and when passive-avoidant leadership affects safety behavior. This study examined the relationship between tw...

Adults bereaved by the suicide or overdose death of someone close to them are vulnerable to adverse mental health outcomes, but little is known about how these individuals utilize avoidance- and approach-based coping strategies, how these strategies...

International research has underlined the role played by children’s and maternal psychopathological symptoms on the onset of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in early childhood. No study has considered the possible interplay be...

Background: Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is characterized by persistent failure to meet nutritional needs, absence of body image distortion and often low body weight. Weight restorative treatment in ARFID-adults is provided for a...

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the feeding style and core behavioral features of eating disorders of mothers are related to the symptoms of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) among their children. This study in...

Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is characterized in part by limited dietary variety, but dietary characteristics of this disorder have not yet been systematically studied. Our objective was to examine dietary intake defined by diet...

Previous research shows that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may experience several difficulties—including those related to eating—and this area of research needs to be explored further. This study had two main objectives: (1...

In this paper, a new collision avoidance switching system is proposed to address the lack of adaptability of intelligent vehicles under different collision avoidance operating conditions. To ensure the rationality of the collision avoidance switching...

Ship collision avoidance is a complex process that is influenced by numerous factors. In this study, we propose a novel method called the Optimal Collision Avoidance Point (OCAP) for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to determine when to take appropri...

Collision Detection and Avoidance is one of the critical technologies for fully allowing Unmanned Aerial Systems to fly in civil airspaces. Current methods evaluate only potential conflicts with other aircraft using specific parameters (e.g., time or...

When operating an unmanned aircraft system within the specific category beyond Air Risk Class a or within the certified category, a detect and avoid system is required in order to mitigate the risk of colliding with manned aircraft. To demonstrate co...

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the future water traffic environment will present a new pattern of coexistence of manned ships and unmanned ships, because unmanned ships are different from manned ships in situation underst...

Obstacle avoidance operations of tractors can cause parts of land to be unavailable for planting crops, which represents a reduction in land utilization. However, land utilization is significant to the increase in agricultural productivity. Tradition...

Aiming at the problem that obstacle avoidance flexibility and formation integrity are difficult to coexist in multi-robot formation motion, a path-deformation mapping mechanism is proposed, which deeply integrates artificial potential field and affin...

Extreme habitats are often characterized by reduced predation pressures, thus representing refuges for the inhabiting species. The present study was designed to investigate predator avoidance of extremophile populations of Poecilia mexicana and P. s...

The probability of collisions at sea has increased in recent years. Furthermore, passive collision avoidance has some disadvantages, such as low economic efficiency, while active collision avoidance techniques have some limitations. As a result of th...

Human contact through physical touch is a core element in social bonding, which facilitates psychosocial well-being. Touch avoidance is an individual disposition that may prevent individuals from engaging in or benefiting from physical touch. The pre...

Unmanned surface vehicle (USV) path planning is a crucial technology for achieving USV autonomous navigation. Under global path planning, dynamic local obstacle avoidance has become the primary focus for safe USV navigation. In this study, a USV auto...

We have produced extended series for prudent self-avoiding walks on the square lattice. These are subsets of self-avoiding walks. We conjecture the exact growth constant and critical exponent for the walks, and show that the (anisotropic) generating...

This study tests the role of national culture in tax avoidance by multinational corporations (MNCs). Hofstede’s four cultural dimensions are used to measure cultural differences across countries: uncertainty avoidance, individualism, masculinit...

As the number of potential applications for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) keeps rising steadily, the chances that these devices get close to each other during their flights also increases, causing concerns regarding potential collisions. This paper...

In this paper, a decision-making model suitable for the collision avoidance (CA) of numerous target ships (TSs) is proposed, based on the principle of ship collision avoidance geometry and the characteristics of numerous target ships’ collision...

Obstacle avoidance is crucial for the successful completion of UAV missions. Static and dynamic obstacles, such as trees, buildings, flying birds, or other UAVs, can threaten these missions. As a result, safe path planning is essential, particularly...

The suggestion that decapod crustaceans might experience pain has been dismissed by some authors who claim decapods only respond to noxious stimuli by nociceptive reflexes. Because reflexes do not require complex neuronal processing, but pain does, d...

This paper provides an overview of the three-year effort to design and implement a prototypical sense-and-avoid (SAA) system based on a multisensory architecture leveraging data fusion between optical and radar sensors. The work was carried out withi...
