This study examines the application of Cognitive Constraint Theory (CCT) to Malay poetic similes. Based on this theory, poetic structures like simile, zeugma and synaesthesia are in fact, governed by certain cognitive principles. These principles or “cognitive constraints”, as they are better known within this approach, ensure the interpretability of the poetic structures on the part of the rea...

Individual differences inherent in human perceptual and behavioral data pose challenges for researchers who aim to develop standardized models of phenomena and procedures for normative assessment. A common approach used when modeling individual variation is to adopt criteria for identifying and excluding the individual data of outliers. We present investigations that use an alternative approach...

This commentary offers a view into the contributions of Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) in marketing and charts promising future avenues for research practices building culturally sensitive reflexive approach. After highlighting pioneering CCT perspectives, an outline directions is offered emphasizing assembling experiences, shaping brands’ symbolic universes, institutional creative market proces...

Combining individual p-values to perform an overall test is often encountered in statistical applications. The Cauchy combination (CCT) (Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2020, 115, 393–402) a powerful and computationally efficient approach integrate under arbitrary dependence structures for sparse signals. We revisit this additionally show that (i) tail probability CCT can be ap...

A compreensão da trajetória e consolidação Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) é relevante para posicionamento de pesquisadores no campo compreender origens motivações sociais históricas a sua formação. Tal empreendimento apresentado nesta revisão teórica, que tem como objetivo apresentar origem CCT, passa pela formação cultura consumo encerra com construção do conhecimento, identidade limites atuaçã...

In 43 cases with symptomatic cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage treated by intraarterial infusion of papaverine (IAP), we studied cerebral hemodynamics by measuring cerebral circulation time (CCT) using digital subtraction angiogram. CCT on the middle cerebral artery site was defined as CCT-LAV and on the anterior cerebral artery side as CCT-MAV. In the CCT-LAV, two pha...

purpose : to evaluate central corneal thickness (cct) in patients with juvenile glaucoma and compare it with that of normal individuals methods : a prospective, case-control study was performed on 80 eyes with juvenile glaucoma who attended glaucoma clinic in farabi eye hospital, tehran, iran and 107 clinically normal healthy eyes. standard automated perimetry (sap) was performed for all the pa...

PURPOSE To compare the intraocular pressures (IOPs) measured by dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), and to investigate the association of IOPs on eyes of varying central corneal thickness (CCT). METHODS In this prospective study, 451 eyes of 233 subjects were enrolled. IOPs were measured by GAT and DCT. CCT was measured three times and the average was cal...
