A word first coined in 1918, but rarely used today, may become a more frequently used part of the English lexicon. That word is “hangry,” which is a portmanteau of the words “hungry” and “angry”. It means to be bad tempered or irritable as a result of hunger. The word is making a comeback because of research that suggests “hanger” (hunger and anger) is a diagnosable feeling. Researchers believe “hangriness” could be a genuine medical phenomenon. Scientists from the UK’s Anglia Ruskin University examined how hunger affects emotions during our daily lives. Lead author Professor Viren Swami said the research indicated a strong link between hunger and feelings of anger, irritability, or low pleasure.

The researchers analyzed data from 64 volunteers aged between 18 and 60. The participants had to complete surveys on a smartphone app five times a day for 21 days. The app helped people to give researchers real-time information on their feelings when they were hungry. Dr Swami explained this provided a “meaningful” link between hunger and emotions. He said: “The results of the…study suggest that the experience of being hangry is real.” He added: “We show, for the first time in a non-laboratory setting, that feeling hungry is associated with greater anger, irritability and lower levels of pleasure.” He suggested that if people knew they were hangry, they could control their anger better.

According to the study, which of the following is NOT a result of being hungry?

A revision to a traffic law aimed at amending the behavior of cyclists came into effect in Japan on Friday. The revised Road Traffic Act makes it illegal to use mobile phones

 or to be under the influence of alcohol while cycling. Those distracted by phones could be punished with a maximum six-month prison sentence or a fine of 100,000 yen ($654). The penalties are harsher for those under the influence. Intoxicated cyclists with more than 0.15 milligrams of alcohol per liter of breath could get up to three years in jail or be fined 500,000 yen ($3,270). Furthermore, restaurants that serve alcohol to customers in the knowledge that they will ride a bicycle afterwards may also be punished.

Japan’s National Police Agency reported a sharp rise in the number of traffic accidents caused by cyclists using phones. There was a 50 per cent increase in the five-year period to 2023. The BBC reports that over 72,000 bicycle accidents were recorded in Japan last year. This accounted for over 20 per cent of all traffic accidents. Most collisions were caused by people under 20 years of age. Many of these cyclists were watching videos or playing games. One reason for the rise in cycling-related accidents is a greater number of people using bicycles instead of public transport because of the coronavirus pandemic. Authorities say raising public awareness of the revised traffic rules could be a challenge.

Cyclists who ride and look at a mobile phone could go to jail for a year. 

Cyclists who have drunk alcohol could be imprisoned for three years. 

Restaurants that serve cyclists alcohol could be punished. 

Accidents caused by phone-watching cyclists doubled in five years. 

Cyclists are responsible for about twenty percent of all Japan’s traffic accidents. 

Most cyclists in Japan who have traffic accidents are over 60.
