A new duality theory is developed for a class of stochastic programs in which the probability distribution is not necessarily discrete. This provides a new framework for problems which are not necessarily bounded, are not required to have relatively complete recourse, and do not satisfy the typical Slater condition of strict feasibility. These problems instead satisfy a different constraint qua...

Previous research has revealed differences in how people value and pursue positive affect in individualistic and collectivistic cultural contexts. Whereas Euro-Americans place greater value on high activation positive affect (HAP; e.g., excitement, enthusiasm, elation) than do Asian Americans and Hong Kong Chinese, the opposite is true for low activation positive affect (LAP; e.g., calmness, se...

The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of practicing yoga and its role within processes of healing for adult women with complex trauma histories. Using a hermeneutic phenomenological method, data were analyzed from interviews with 39 women. Results showed that the core meaning of participants' experience of healing through yoga is claiming peaceful embodiment. This is an ongo...

This paper presents a Nash equilibrium model where the underlying objective functions involve uncertainty and nonsmoothness. The well-known sample average approximation method is applied to solve the problem and the first order equilibrium conditions are characterized in terms of Clarke generalized gradients. Under some moderate conditions, it is shown that with probability one, a statistical e...

A pendant was claimed to provide numerous health benefits, including reduced stress, increased strength, and protection from electromagnetic radiation from computers and mobile phones. Three experiments tested the effectiveness of this pendant's effect as a bioelectric shield. In the first experiment, 12 subjects who work with computers wore shields (6 real, 6 sham) for several weeks and were r...

Based on the control-value theory, this study examined connections between perceived in-class degree of cooperation and academic performance mediated through students’ negative positive emotions in physical education. Students (N = 620, 55.5% girls; Mage 13.01, SD 2.10) reported their perceptions (shame, hopelessness, anxiety, boredom) (confidence, pride, enjoyment, calmness) education c...

Abstract In present paper, an analysis of the stability behaviour ideal efficient solutions to parametric vector optimization problems is conducted. A sufficient condition for existence locally perturbed and their nearness a given reference value provided by refining recent results on theory parameterized set-valued inclusions. More precisely, Lipschitz lower semicontinuity property solution ma...
