Despite increased attention to transgender and gender diverse (TGD) issues in psychological literature during the past decade, gaps remain for psychometric validation of TGD-specific measures. Kozee et al. (Psychology Women Quarterly 36(2):179–196, 2012) addressed such by creating Transgender Congruence Scale (TCS), measuring acceptance feelings congruence between internal external attributes a...

Flow is a state of optimal experience in which people get fully absorbed by a smoothly running activity that they pursue for the sake of it. Based on the classical approach to motivation, recent theoretical considerations suggest that incentives provided by the current activity that are congruent with one’s implicit motives will lead to flow. In a field experiment, we examined wall climbers’ ac...

In this paper, a construction of a congruence having a given filter is presented. Also as a generalization of an BE-algebra homomorphism, the notion of a relation on BE-algebra, called an BE-relation is introduced and some fundamental properties to BE-algebras are discussed.

Maji et al. introduced the concept of fuzzy soft sets as a generalization of the standard soft sets and presented an application of fuzzy soft sets in a decision making problem. In this paper, we apply fuzzy soft sets to  hyperrings. The concept of ( , ) q       -fuzzy soft  -hyperideals of  -hyperrings is first introduced. Some new characterizations are investigated. In particular, a ...

It is known that the numbers which occur in Apéry’s proof of the irrationality of ζ(2) have many interesting congruence properties while the associated generating function satisfies a second order differential equation. We prove supercongruences for a generalization of numbers which arise in Beukers’ and Zagier’s study of integral solutions of Apéry-like differential equations.

Let A, B be two non-zero integers.

Let p be any prime, and let α and n be nonnegative integers. Let r ∈ Z and f(x) ∈ Z[x]. We establish the congruence p f ∑ k≡r (mod pα) (n k ) (−1)f ( k − r pα ) ≡ 0 ( mod p ∑∞ i=α n/p i ) (motivated by a conjecture arising from algebraic topology) and obtain the following vast generalization of Lucas’ theorem: If α is greater than one, and l, s, t are nonnegative integers with s, t < p, then 1 ...

Let A be a k-element algebra whose chief factor size is c. We show that if B is in the variety generated by A, then any abelian chief factor of B that is not strongly abelian has size at most ck−1. This solves Problem 5 of The Structure of Finite Algebras, by D. Hobby and R. McKenzie. We refine this bound to c in the situation where the variety generated by A omits type 1. As a generalization, ...

This article proposes that in the future, P-E fit studies should use objective (as opposed to subjective) measures of the environment, such as the group size, in order to avoid numerous methodological problems. Several hypotheses were formulated in this article. Group size was hypothesised to moderate the following relationships: apprehension, sensitivity, social boldness and extroversion with ...

A right ternary N -group (RTNG) over a right ternary near-ring N is a generalization of its binary counterpart and fuzzy soft sets are generalization of soft sets which are parameterized family of subsets of a universal set. In this paper fuzzy soft N -subgroups and N -ideals over right ternary N -groups are defined and their basic algebraic properties are studied. Fuzzy soft N -subgroups and N...
