future for more careful consideration. This process may rely on generating and then testing a wide variety of possibilities and selecting the one that empirically works best. Being a successful innovator is likely to require many psychological and emotional attributes, such as determination, focus, analytical ability, persistence and resilience. These may have little to do with the ability to g...

Our attitudes and moods may greatly effect on our everyday life experiences, perception, behavior and mental wellbeing. Emotion recognition and ability to detect e.g. positive or negative thinking offers a novel perspective for designing for wellness and behavior change. Especially, we are interested in utilizing nervous system as a data source. In this work-inprogress paper, we present our ong...

BACKGROUND Living alone in urban areas when getting old is an important and necessary field for research as the growth of the urban population worldwide increases, and due to the fact that people live longer. How older people manage their self-care and health, and how this might influence their identity and life situation may be very important to understand when planning for a new, upcoming old...

This article explores the construct of wellbeing. Research concerning the relationship between subjective wellbeing and health is discussed. Key components of wellbeing that are important to health include 'sense of coherence', 'optimism' and 'benefit finding and post-traumatic growth'. A range of positive psychology interventions that aim to increase positive thoughts, feelings and emotions in...

This work extends the existing convergence analysis for discrete approximations of minimizers of convex regularization functionals. In particular, some solution concepts are generalized, namely the standard minimum norm solutions for squared norm regularizers and the R-minimizing solutions for general convex regularizers, respectively. A central part of the work addresses finite dimensional app...

well-being might result. Similarly, insofar as perceiving the good things in one's life as the result of the intentional benevolence of another person or persons makes those benefits even more enjoyable, it is easy to imagine how one might be happier and healthier as a result. Obviously, much of daily life occurs without conscious control and without a second thought. Nonetheless, some people m...

We consider the problem of reconstructing, from the interior data u(x, 1), a function u satisfying a nonlinear elliptic equation ∆u = f(x, y, u(x, y)), x ∈ R, y > 0. The problem is ill-posed. Using the method of Green function, the method of Fourier transforms and the method of truncated high frequencies, we shall regularize the problem. Error estimate is given.

We prove global well-posedness for the L-critical cubic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on R with data u0 ∈ H(R) for s > 1 3 . The proof combines a priori Morawetz estimates obtained in [4] and the improved almost conservation law obtained in [6]. There are two technical difficulties. The first one is to estimate the variation of the improved almost conservation law on intervals given...

Scholarship on varieties of capitalism (VofC) explores the ways in which the institutions structuring the political economy affect patterns of economic performance or policy making and the distribution of well-being. Contesting the claim that there is one best route to superior economic performance, a number of schemas have been proposed to explain why countries have often been able to secure s...

It is essential for staff to feel supported in their jobs if they are to continuously provide high quality compassionate care to patients. One way of supporting staff, of showing them that their health and wellbeing matter, is to offer them opportunities for compassionate dialogue about their experiences of delivering care--its rewards, frustrations and challenges--and their resulting thoughts ...
