Disease avoidance as a functional basis for stigmatization.
Stigmatization is characterized by chronic social and physical avoidance of a person(s) by other people. Infectious disease may produce an apparently similar form of isolation-disease avoidance-but on symptom remission this often abates. We propose that many forms of stigmatization reflect the activation of this disease-avoidance system, which is prone to respond to visible signs and labels tha...
متن کاملPsychrometric chart as a basis for outdoor thermal analysis
Preparing thermal comfort conditions in outdoor public spaces is one of the considerations of architectural design. If the constructed area does not support comfortable conditions in outdoor spaces, it will cause microclimatic problems for pedestrians and adjacent buildings. Regarding the different thermal comfort conditions in outdoor spaces in comparison with indoor, several indices have b...

Study 1 revealed that peoplewho are chronically concerned about pathogen transmission havemore negative attitudes toward obese people; this effect was especially pronounced following visual exposure to obese individu...
متن کاملTriplex addressability as a basis for functional DNA nanostructures.
Here, we present the formation of a fully addressable DNA nanostructure that shows the potential to be exploited as, for example, an information storage device based on pH-driven triplex strand formation or nanoscale circuits based on electron transfer. The nanostructure is composed of two adjacent hexagonal unit cells (analogous to naphthalene) in which each of the eleven edges has a unique do...
متن کاملA Feasibility Study of the "Right to Education" as a Basis for Criminal Liability
Man is a social being, and social life cannot endure without the enforcement of regulations and laws by the government.
