OBJECTIVES To examine the contribution of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and physical health to subjective age among war veterans. METHOD The sample included 502 veterans of the first Lebanon War who were assessed 20 years after the war by a series of self-report questionnaires. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, hierarchical and logistic regressions. RESULTS Veterans with...

BACKGROUND Changes in body image and subjective well-being variables (e.g. self-esteem) are often reported as outcomes of obesity treatment. However, they may, in turn, also influence behavioral adherence and success in weight loss. The present study examined associations among obesity treatment-related variables, i.e., change in weight, quality of life, body image, and subjective well-being, e...

People cannot share subjective sensations with others as they do with sounds and figures. Subjective sensations guide the intake. In this chapter, subjective sensations of hunger that induce intake, become objective (verifiable by others, reproducible and comparable) by the association with measurements of blood glucose concentration (BG). This is possible after about two weeks of training with...

Abstract This article proposes a Subjective And Objective Evaluation (SAOE) method for equipment development priorities. By establishing the evaluation index system of priority evaluation, using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to determine subjective weights each indicator in system, and then use deviation maximization objective weight system. Finally, based on least square relative entropy pr...

BACKGROUND After weight loss, changes in the circulating levels of several peripheral hormones involved in the homeostatic regulation of body weight occur. Whether these changes are transient or persist over time may be important for an understanding of the reasons behind the high rate of weight regain after diet-induced weight loss. METHODS We enrolled 50 overweight or obese patients without...

This study was undertaken to investigate the contribution of a weight-relieving system on the gait of patients with severe locomotor disabilities. Temporal parameters of gait and subjective evaluations of the effect of the system were studied in 24 patients and 6 healthy subjects. Partial weight relief was accomplished through a pneumatic system mounted in the ceiling over a conductive walkway ...

In recent years, the trustworthiness of the software has become the focus of software quality. The software trustworthiness analysis and measurement has become a hot issue. Because of the great influence of software environment dynamic openness and uncertainty to the trustworthiness of the software, this paper attempts to examine the changes of software running environment, consider the impact ...

Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarly to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is one of the most commonly used approaches in solving numerous multiple criteria decision making problems. It has been widely used in ranking of multiple alternatives with respect to multiple criteria with the superiority of fuzzy set type-1 and subjective weights. Recently, fuzzy TOPSIS has been merged with interval ...
