We generalize the Giveon-Kutasov duality for 3d $\mathcal{N}=3$ $U(N)_{k,k+nN}$ Chern-Simons matter gauge theory with $F$ fundamental hypermultiplets by introducing $SU(N)$ and $U(1)$ levels differently. study supersymmetric partition functions superconformal indices of duality, which supports validity proposal. From we can map out low-energy phases: For example, confinement appears $F+k-N=-n=1...

OBJECTIVE Cognitive theories suggest that body dissatisfaction results from the activation of maladaptive appearance schemata, which guide mental processes such as selective attention to shape and weight-related information. In line with this, the present study hypothesized that patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are characterized by increased visual attention for the ...

The functioning brain behaves like one highly-structured, coherent, informational field. It can be popularly described as a "coherent ball of energy", making the idea of a local highly-structured quantum field that carries the consciousness very appealing. If that is so, the structure of the experience of music might be a quite unique window into a hidden quantum reality of the brain, and even ...

AIM The aim of this study is to determine female-to-male transsexual's (FtM) stereotypes created in female and male university students and comparing them in the analysed groups. METHOD 300 university students (from the Technical University of Łódź, University of Łódź, Medical University of Łódź) received a questionnaire with 10 pairs of the opposite meaning adjectives (good-bad, weak-strong,...

I gave lectures entitled "Ugly Symmetry" at several conferences and many institutes during past six years. Obviously the Hargittai couple share more or less the same opinion with me. Therefore, it is my pleasure to read this interesting book In Our Own Image: Personal Symmetry in Discovery [2,3]. I have communicated with the first author, Istvan Hargittai, many times and bothered him with my pa...

Generalized social phobia (GSP) involves the fear of being negatively evaluated. Previous work suggests that self-referentiality, mediated by the medial prefrontal cortex (MFPC), plays an important role in the disorder. However, it is not clear whether this anomalous MPFC response to self-related information in patients with GSP concerns an increased representation of their own or others' opini...
