Article Abstract

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) emphasizes psychological flexibility as a key set of processes that improve mental and behavioral health outcomes. Our field needs to shift from syndrome-based interventions to a process-based approach, focusing on biopsychosocial change processes relevant to each particular person, couple, or family. ACT extends its 6 core processes to encompass all well-validated change mechanisms including those at the social or biophysiological levels. It is time to challenge the hegemony of traditional psychiatric classification in favor of a personalized precision psychiatry rooted in functional analysis, idionomic statistics, and multidimensional, multilevel evolutionary science.

Value, technology, and policy are three interactive societal factors affecting the willingness, capacity, and formal rules of human interactions with water. Existing human-water models generally neglect the dynamic and accumulated processes of these factors, failing to explain the societal causes of changes in water practices. Here we developed nine process-based quantitative datasets of Value-Technology-Policy regarding water.

With the rapid development of intelligent automobiles, the chassis serves as an essential carrier of intelligence and a necessary condition for achieving high-level autonomous driving. Its electronic and electrical architecture is evolving toward centralized development, which is also significantly increasing the complexity of system functions. Meanwhile, with the integration of more sensors and an increase in data volume, stricter requirements have been placed on software scalability, portability, and maintainability.

Exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Ex-CBT) is widely seen as the gold-standard treatment for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Yet, minoritized youth are underrepresented in efficacy studies, raising questions about the applicability of Ex-CBT to minoritized youth. Effectiveness data suggest systematic adaptation of Ex-CBT to address youth culture and context is likely needed, and many clinicians make adaptations and augmentations in practice.

This study was conducted to explore enhancement of biological anode-dependent ammonium oxidation (bioanoammox) in a bioelectrochemical-enhanced constructed wetland (BECW) by an approach of regulating applied voltage, nitrogen transformation patterns and associated microbiological characteristics of the BECWs were then investigated at four different applied voltages during the advanced treatment of anaerobically-digested swine wastewater. The results showed that, application of different applied voltage could significantly affect start-up and operating performance of the BECW. As the applied voltage was 0.
