Psychological mindedness (PM) is a relevant but rarely studied construct in clinical psychology. The aim was to examine the relationships among PM, personality, and coping in young adults with psychological difficulties. Sixty-three young women and 32 young men who were admitted for intake at a Dutch mental health institute completed relevant questionnaires. PM showed positive associations with the putatively adaptive personality characteristics of extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness and a negative correlation with neuroticism. In addition, PM was associated with problem-focused coping independently of the effect of personality characteristics. PM seems to be related to adaptive person characteristics in young adults with psychological difficulties. Longitudinal studies are needed to examine the issue of causality.

Relative small improvements in the operational efficiency of gas trunkline systems can generate significant business value due to the large volumes of gas running through the system. Production deferment, off-spec gas, ramp up time, etc. can be greatly reduced by accurate control of the gas flow within constraints on gas quality, pressure regime, liquid holdup, etc. In this paper we will show how the workflow of gas trunkline management can be improved by a successful combination of Shell Model Optimizing Control (SMOC, Shell's proprietary MPC technology) and the web-based on-line dynamic modeling environment Lagosa, Shell's proprietary Liquid & Gas Online Scenario Advisor (Lagosa). The case study entails an operator support system that provides advice to the operator on how to manage the flow rate of ten platforms such that the flow rate is optimized while satisfying constraints on e.g. landing pressure and gas quality. In this paper we will to share the learning from this cross-business implementation project. Learnings will be shared from a workflow/people perspective as well as from a technology perspective.
