TL;DR: The dimensionality of Maslach's (1982) 3 aspects of job burnout--emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment--was examined among a sample of supervisors and managers in the human services and supported the 3-factor model.
Abstract: The dimensionality of Maslach's (1982) 3 aspects of job burnout--emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment--was examined among a sample of supervisors and managers in the human services. A series of confirmatory factor analyses supported the 3-factor model, with the first 2 aspects highly correlated. The 3 aspects were found to be differentially related to other variables reflecting aspects of strain, stress coping, and self-efficacy in predictable and meaningful ways. Implications for better understanding the burnout process are discussed.

TL;DR: Treatment for depression in the postpartum period should target the mother–infant relationship in addition to the mothers' depressive symptoms, and early maternal negative perceptions of the child predicted negative temperament and behavior problems 18 months after treatment.
Abstract: Maternal depression is prevalent, and puts children at risk. Little evidence addresses whether treatment for maternal depression is sufficient to improve child outcomes. An experiment was conducted testing whether psychotherapeutic treatment for mothers, suffering from major depression in the postpartum period, would result in improved parenting and child outcomes. Participants included depressed women randomly assigned to interpersonal psychotherapy (n = 60) or to a waitlist (n = 60), and a nondepressed comparison group (n = 56). At 6 months, depressed mothers were less responsive to their infants, experienced more parenting stress, and viewed their infants more negatively than did nondepressed mothers. Treatment affected only parenting stress, which improved significantly but was still higher than that for nondepressed mothers. Eighteen months later, treated depressed mothers still rated their children lower in attachment security, higher in behavior problems, and more negative in temperament than nondepressed mothers. Initial response to treatment did not predict reduced risk for poor child outcomes. Early maternal negative perceptions of the child predicted negative temperament and behavior problems 18 months after treatment. Treatment for depression in the postpartum period should target the mother-infant relationship in addition to the mothers' depressive symptoms.

TL;DR: The progresses of different modeling and control approaches for piezo-actuated nanopositioning stages are discussed and new opportunities for the extended studies are highlighted.
Abstract: Piezo-actuated stages have become more and more promising in nanopositioning applications due to the excellent advantages of the fast response time, large mechanical force, and extremely fine resolution. Modeling and control are critical to achieve objectives for high-precision motion. However, piezo-actuated stages themselves suffer from the inherent drawbacks produced by the inherent creep and hysteresis nonlinearities and vibration caused by the lightly damped resonant dynamics, which make modeling and control of such systems challenging. To address these challenges, various techniques have been reported in the literature. This paper surveys and discusses the progresses of different modeling and control approaches for piezo-actuated nanopositioning stages and highlights new opportunities for the extended studies.

TL;DR: Obesity is a complex chronic disease in which abnormal or excess body fat (adiposity) impairs health, increases the risk of long-term medical complications and reduces lifespan.
Abstract: KEY POINTS
Obesity is a complex chronic disease in which abnormal or excess body fat (adiposity) impairs health, increases the risk of long-term medical complications and reduces lifespan.[1][1] Epidemiologic studies define obesity using the body mass index (BMI; weight/height2), which can stratify
