Social trust is the main component of social capital. In this regard, subjective welfare is one of the important aspects of human life. Based on the human needs growth, it must be considered both objective and subjective aspect of welfare. The present study tries to use survey method and collect data by cluster sampling among 381 persons of 20-29 Youth in Tehran as the sample of this research. ...

aim: mental health is especially important in some occupations with harsh work conditions requiring strong personal and mental capacities. healthcare related are jobs among such occupations. therefore, psychological and subjective well-being is especially important in staff working in the healthcare sector. the aim of the present study is to assess whether gratitude training affects psychologic...

This article adopts a critical sociological perspective to examine the expectations surrounding the uses of social networking sites (SNSs) articulated in the domain of clinical literature. This emerging body of articles and commentaries responds to the recent significant growth in SNS use, and constitutes a venue in which the meanings of SNSs and their relation to health are negotiated. Our ana...

Building multilingual opinionated models requires multilingual corpora annotated with opinion labels. Unfortunately, such kind of corpora are rare. We consider opinions in this work as subjective or objective. In this paper, we introduce an annotation method that can be reliably transferred across topic domains and across languages. The method starts by building a classifier that annotates sent...

We extend de Finetti’s (1974) theory of coherence to apply also to unbounded random variables. We show that for random variables with mandated infinite prevision, such as for the St. Petersburg gamble, coherence precludes indifference between equivalent random quantities. That is, we demonstrate when the prevision of the difference between two such equivalent random variables must be positive. ...

Both comparative category rating (CCR) and degradation category rating (DCR) methods [20] have been heavily employed in the subjective evaluations of media systems. The resulting metrics, comparative mean-opinion-score (CMOS) and degradation mean-opinion-score (DMOS), can be used to describe the system subjective quality. However, the subjective metrics may work unsuccessfully when the variance...

In this paper, we present a noisy version of the algebraic geometric approach of identifying parameters of discrete-time linear hybrid system. Two approximate ways of estimating hybrid parameters are considered: one is using MSE criteria, while the other is based on the information divergence that measures the distance between the error probability density function (PDF) of the identified model...

Current theories conceptualize return migration to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina as an individual-level assessment of costs and benefits. Since relocation is cost prohibitive, return migration is thought to be unlikely for vulnerable populations. However, recent analyses of longitudinal survey data suggest that these individuals are likely to return to New Orleans over time despite achiev...
