Modelling Water Use in Thailand
No full textIn this paper a model is proposed for analysing alternative policies that might be used in allocating water in Thailand. The model used is an integration of farm linear programming models with a spatial equilibrium model, using the so-called price-linked farm and spatial model (Batterham and MacAulay, 1994). A method of linking spatial equilibrium models and linear programming representations of farm models via the demand side as opposed to the supply side is outlined in this paper. A case study is made of the Chao Phraya Delta, an area that is progressively challenged by competing claims for water use and which needs to better allocate water resources.water use, spatial equilibrium model, Thailand, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,

Codebooks for 'U.S. Copyright Termination Notices 1977-2020: Introducing New Datasets'
No full textThese are the codebooks used to extract, construct, and analyse the datasets in Yuvaraj, J., Giblin, R., Russo-Batterham, D., & Grant, G. 'U.S. Copyright Termination Notices 1977-2020: Introducing New Datasets' (forthcoming in the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies). They were written in Jupyter notebooks using the Python programming language. We also used the numpy, pandas, and matplotlib packages. The codebooks are intended to be read sequentially, so later notebooks will only have instructions that have not already been set out. While every effort has been made to ensure the notebooks are user-friendly, users are encouraged to contact the corresponding author at [email protected] if any questions arise.

Neural Responsivity to Food Cues in Patients with Unmedicated First-Episode Psychosis
No full textImportance: Schizophrenia is associated with a reduced life expectancy of 15 to 20 years owing to a high prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders. Obesity, a key risk factor for the development of cardiometabolic alterations, is more prevalent in individuals with schizophrenia. Although obesity is linked to the altered reward processing of food cues, no studies have investigated this link in schizophrenia without the confounds of antipsychotics and illness chronicity. Objective: To investigate neural responsivity to food cues in first-episode psychosis without the confounds of antipsychotic medication or illness chronicity. Design, Setting, and Participants: A case-control study was conducted from January 31, 2015, to September 30, 2018, in London, United Kingdom, of 29 patients with first-episode psychosis who were not taking antipsychotic medication and 28 matched controls. Main Outcomes and Measures: Participants completed a food cue paradigm while undergoing a functional magnetic resonance imaging scan. Neural activation was indexed using the blood oxygen level-dependent hemodynamic response. The Dietary Instrument for Nutrition Education was used to measure diet, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to measure exercise. Results: There were no significant differences in age, sex, or body mass index between the 29 patients (25 men and 4 women; mean [SD] age, 26.1 [4.8] years) and 28 controls (22 men and 6 women; mean [SD] age, 26.4 [5.5] years). Relative to controls, patients consumed more saturated fat (t46= -3.046; P =.004) and undertook less high-intensity (U = 304.0; P =.01) and low-intensity (U = 299.5; P =.005) weekly exercise. There were no group differences in neural responses to food vs nonfood cues in whole-brain or region-of-interest analyses of the nucleus accumbens, insula, or hypothalamus. Body mass index was inversely correlated with the mean blood oxygen level-dependent signal in the nucleus accumbens in response to food vs nonfood cues in controls (R = -0.499; P =.01) but not patients (R = 0.082; P =.70). Conclusions and Relevance: Relative to controls, patients with first-episode psychosis who were not taking antipsychotic medication consumed more saturated fat and showed an altered association between body mass index and neural response to food cues in the absence of differences in neural responses to food cues. These findings highlight how maladaptive eating patterns and alterations in the association between body mass index and neural responses to food cues are established early in the course of schizophrenia

Abstract:
Young men with few prospects of attracting a mate have historically threatened internal peace and stability of societies. In some contemporary societies, such involuntary celibate ¬– or Incel – men perpetrate much online misogyny and real-world violence. We test the prediction that online Incel activity arises via local ‘real world’ mating market forces that affect relationship formation. From a database of 4 billion Twitter posts (2012-2018), we geolocated 321 million to 582 commuting zones in the continental U.S.A., of which 3649 tweets used words peculiar to Incels and 3745 were about Incels. We show that such tweets arise disproportionately within places where mating competition among men is likely to be high due to male-biased sex ratios, few single women, high income inequality, and small gender gaps. Our results suggest a role for social media in monitoring and mitigating factors that lead young men toward antisocial behavior in real-world societies

Mechanisms of weight regain.
No full textWeight regain following weight loss is frequent problem that people with obesity face. This weight recidivism is often attributed to the lack of compliance with appropriate food habits and exercise. On the contrary, it is known that body weight and fat mass are regulated by numerous physiological mechanisms, far beyond voluntary food intake and physical exercise. Thus, the aim of this paper is to review the main peripheral and central mechanisms involved in weight regain. Gut hormone secretion profiles impact upon predisposition to weight regain according to an individual variability, although it is recognised a usual pattern of compensatory changes: a reduction in anorectic hormones secretion and an increase in orexigenic hormone. These changes lead to both increased appetite and reward value of food leading to increased energye intake. In addition, resting energy expenditure after weight loss is lower than expected according to body composition changes. This gap between observed and predicted energy expenditure following weight loss is named metabolic adaptation, which has been suggested to explain partly weight regain. This complicated scenario, beyond patient motivation, makes weight regain a challenge in long-term management interventions in patients with obesity
Multiple disruptions: circumstances and experiences of young people living with homelessness and unemployment
No full textThis article is about young people who have experienced both
homelessness and unemployment, with their interacting impacts. While ‘young people’ is usually understood to include those beyond childhood and up to 25 years of age, the homelessness services that initiated YP4 decided that the project should focus on people in the first one-third of their expected working lives. Thus the eligible age group for YP4 was 18−35 years. In practice, 75 per cent of participants were aged 25 years and under. This paper
presents a more detailed descriptive profile than has previously been published regarding the circumstances of young people living with homelessness and unemployment. This profile confirms and adds quantification to previously published material on the complex disadvantages experienced by these young people. Our findings are indicative of the circumstances of the broader population of young Australians in these circumstances
