  text: Early weight gain is a primary goal in the treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN)
    and associated with more favorable discharge weights and clinical outcomes. Activity
    urges, that is, a motivational state to engage in activity, have been suspected
    to delay early weight gain, but their prognostic role remains barely explored.
    Here, we investigated whether acute (state‐like) activity urges at treatment onset
    would predict within‐person weight gain in patients with AN during the initial
    2 weeks of inpatient treatment. Adults with AN from an inpatient unit (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 53)
    completed an activity urges measure at treatment onset, and weight changes were
    monitored for the duration of their treatment. Regression analyses, controlling
    for admission body mass index and other patient variables (i.e., patient age and
    AN subtype), found that higher state activity urges were associated with lower
    initial weight gain. Mediation analyses showed that differences in early weight
    changes further linked higher activity urges at admission to lower discharge weights.
    An activity urge cutoff value of 2.76 for distinguishing between cases with optimal
    and suboptimal initial weight gain is proposed. We discuss potential mechanisms
    of the link between activity urges and early weight gain and the implications
    of activity urges as a prognostic factor for improving weight restoration during
    AN treatment.

  text: 'hapter 6 explores the multifaceted relationship between NBS and human health
    in urban environments. It begins by discussing the interconnectedness of nature
    and human well-being, highlighting the potential of NBS in reducing environmental
    stressors, restoring capacities and inviting for a more (inter-)active lifestyle.
    The chapter then delves into specific aspects of health addressed by NBS, such
    as the mitigation of air pollution and the enhancement of thermal comfort. Additionally,
    it examines the role of allotment gardens in promoting well-being and social cohesion
    within urban communities. Furthermore, the chapter explores how NBS can encourage
    healthy behaviour among urban residents, offering insights into understanding
    behavioural patterns. Concluding with recommendations for practitioners, the chapter
    underscores the importance of effectively implementing NBS to improve health and
    well-being in urban settings. '

  text: ObjectiveMany people, including patients with eating disorders (EDs), experience
    an increased urge for physical activity. "Trait"-like activity in patients with
    EDs is assessed by existing questionnaires, but there are few clinically validated
    assessments of a "state" urge to be physically active. Here, we developed and
    validated the State Urge to be Physically Active-Questionnaire (SUPA-Q). MethodsAfter
    developing and piloting the items, N = 126 patients with EDs (mostly anorexia
    nervosa and bulimia nervosa) took part in our mixed-longitudinal validation study
    with one primary assessment for all patients and a secondary assessment for a
    subsample of patients. Cronbach's & alpha; and split-half-methods served as measures
    of consistency and reliability. Correlations with other questionnaires were used
    to determine convergent and divergent validity, and confirmatory factor analysis
    was used for investigating factorial validity. We used paired-samples t-tests
    for repeated assessments to investigate change sensitivity. ResultsWe found the
    SUPA-Q to be highly consistent, and reliable and to demonstrate convergent, divergent,
    and factorial validity. The comparison of SUPA-Q scores from repeated assessments
    within a subsample of patients demonstrated the questionnaire's change sensitivity,
    Cohen's d = 0.48. Moreover, an increase in SUPA-Q scores was associated with a
    less positive mood, more anxiety, more body dissatisfaction, more tenseness, less
    feelings of control, and more stress. DiscussionThe newly developed SUPA-Q may
    help to accentuate the necessity to evaluate and address the acute urge to engage
    in physical activity in patients with EDs in clinical practice and ultimately
    support tailoring treatments to patients' unique symptom patterns. The questionnaire
    is available at .

  text: Artificial light at night significantly alters the predictability of the natural
    light cycles that most animals use as an essential Zeitgeber for daily activity.
    Direct light has well-documented local impacts on activity patterns of diurnal
    and nocturnal organisms. However, artificial light at night also contributes to
    an indirect illumination of the night sky, called skyglow, which is rapidly increasing.
    The consequences of this wide-spread form of artificial night light on the behaviour
    of animals remain poorly understood, with only a few studies performed under controlled
    (laboratory) conditions. Using animal-borne activity loggers, we investigated
    daily and seasonal flight activity of a free-living crepuscular bird species in
    response to nocturnal light conditions at sites differing dramatically in exposure
    to skyglow. We find that flight activity of European Nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus)
    during moonless periods of the night is four times higher in Belgium (high skyglow
    exposure) than in sub-tropical Africa and two times higher than in Mongolia (near-pristine
    skies). Moreover, clouds darken the sky under natural conditions, but skyglow
    can strongly increase local sky brightness on overcast nights. As a result, we
    find that nightjars' response to cloud cover is reversed between Belgium and sub-tropical
    Africa and between Belgium and Mongolia. This supports the hypothesis that cloudy
    nights reduce individual flight activity in a pristine environment, but increase
    it when the sky is artificially lit. Our study shows that in the absence of direct
    light pollution, anthropogenic changes in sky brightness relieve nightjars from
    visual constraints on being active. Individuals adapt daily activities to artificial
    night-sky brightness, allowing them more time to fly than conspecifics living
    under natural light cycles. This modification of the nocturnal timescape likely
    affects behavioural processes of most crepuscular and nocturnal species, but its
    implications for population dynamics and interspecific interactions remain to
    be investigated.

  text: Today, usability measures for the evaluation of systems and interfaces are
    mostly assessed in an isolated way. This paper addresses the question whether
    an integrative multi-dimensional feature evaluation can lead to different and
    more holistic results. We combined traditional measures (e.g., time to task completion)
    with advanced measures, like eye tracking, biosignal data logging and assessment
    of user emotions. For the evaluation of emotions, we used verbal methods (PAD
    Semantic Scale and a questionnaire) and a nonverbal method with EmoCards. The
    overall goal was to document and analyze the interaction as completely as possible
    (including effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction), focusing especially
    on objective measurements. Furthermore, the recording and assessment of emotions,
    which are part of the user experience, should give insights into user satisfaction.
