backgrounds: the prevalence of disordered eating behaviors has been reported to increase in recent decades; therefore, scientific studies should perform for specifying psychological variables that may contribute to the etiology of this disorder. in this study, we examined the role of body image disturbance and perfectionism variables in predicting disordered eating behaviors among female studen...

  Background: Although upper-extremity disability correlates with psychosocial aspects of illness the association with sleep disturbance in upper extremity disability is less certain. To evaluate whether sleep disturbance is associated with upper-extremity disability among patients with upper extremity illness, accounting for sociodemographic, condition-related, and psychosocial factors. Method...

This is a second (after [1]) suggestion of a topic for a project for a student who wishes to look forward in the wide thematic (here a biological measuring) of modern electronics. The idea is motivated by brochure [2] by Erwin Schrödinger, connecting life with negative "entropy". Not having as pure a psychological background as in [1], but extending the idea of [2] the present work touches the ...

The authors tested and confirmed the hypothesis that priming a stereotype or trait leads to complex overt behavior in line with this activated stereotype or trait. Specifically, 4 experiments established that priming the stereotype of professors or the trait intelligent enhanced participants' performance on a scale measuring general knowledge. Also, priming the stereotype of soccer hooligans or...

This paper briefly surveys computer vision tools that can be used on surveillance videos for crowd monitoring in order to detect anomalous events and retrieve suspects. Focus is given to methods for action recognition and event detection. (a) Satellite image, indicating the location of the event. c ©Igonográfico, Globo. (b) Still image from the surveillance camera that captured a flying toilet....

background: the present work was conducted to study the burn patients’ experiences to get an insight into their main concerns when they suffer the tragic event, recover from it, and adjust back in the society, so that better rehabilitation programs can be planned corresponding to their needs as well as to the needs of the society and the existing situations. materials and methods: in this quali...

Using Tracking Differentiators in Designing Nonlinear Disturbance Observers for Uncertain SystemsNaser Kazemzadeh, Saeed BarghandanAbstractIn the present paper, a practical designing method has been proposed for a novel class of NDOs based on TD. Such NDOs can nearly estimate all uncertain disturbances (specifically disturbances without prediction information). Regarding the outstanding perform...
