The paper is concerned with the stability theory of the efficient solution map of a parametric vector optimization problem. Utilizing the advanced tools of modern variational analysis and generalized differentiation, we study the calmness of the efficient solution map. More explicitly, new sufficient conditions in terms of the Fréchet and limiting coderivatives of parametric multifunctions for ...

Depending on whether a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints 6 (MPEC) is considered in its original or its enhanced (via KKT conditions) form, the assumed 7 constraint qualifications (CQs) as well as the derived necessary optimality conditions may 8 differ significantly. In this paper, we study this issue when imposing one of the weakest pos9 sible CQs, namely the calmness of the pe...

Implicit associations of the self to concepts like "calm" have been shown to be weaker in persons with social anxiety than in non-anxious healthy controls. However, other implicit self associations, such as those to acceptance or rejection, have been less studied in social anxiety, and none of this work has been conducted with clinical samples. Furthermore, the importance of depression in these...

The food and beverage industry has been increasingly replacing sugar with non-nutritive sweeteners in their sweetened products to control or reduce total calories. Research comparing the effect of nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners on emotional state of participants exposed to acute stressors is still limited. This study aimed to determine the effect of drinking tea sweetened with either a ...

Self-mutilation occurs in 70-80% of patients who meet DSM-IV criteria for borderline personality disorder. Approximately 60% of these patients report that they do not feel pain during acts of self-mutilation such as cutting or burning. Findings of recent studies measuring pain perception in patients with BPD are difficult to interpret since variables such as distress, dissociation or relevant p...

The subject of the present paper are stability properties solution set to set-valued inclusions. latter problems emerging in robust optimization and mathematical economics, which can not be cast traditional generalized equations. analysis here reported focuses on several quantitative forms semicontinuity for mappings, widely investigated variational analysis, include, among others, calmness. Su...

The positive effects of physical activity on mood are well documented in cross-sectional studies. To date there have been only a few studies analyzing within-subject covariance between physical activity and mood in everyday life. This study aims to close this gap using an ambulatory assessment of mood and physical activity. Thirteen participants completed a standardized diary over a 10-week per...
