Many behaviors that lead to worsened health outcomes are modifiable, social, and visible. Social influence has thus the potential to foster adoption of habits that promote health and improve disease management. In this study, we consider the evolution of the physical activity of 44.5 thousand Fitbit users as they interact on the Fitbit social network, in relation to their health status. The use...

For many people in our society, responsibility for personal welfare, for success and failure, rests solely upon the individual. The result is a tendency for many individuals to develop a characteristic pattern of activity in which the ego is focal and the objective situation, background. So many aspects of the objective world, on the other hand, by their intrinsic properties demand and absorb t...

To study the contribution of vision to the perception of ego-motion, one often dissociates the retinal flow from the corresponding extra-retinal information on eye, head and body movement. This puts the observer in a conflict concerning the experienced ego-motion. When the retinal flow of a translating and rotating eye is shown to a stationary eye, observes often perceive ego-motion on a curved...

Analysis of ego-networks is a critical research problem when analyzing large-scale social networks, as an ego-network represents the social circle a person actually contacts with. One of the core tasks in egonetwork analysis is visual comparison, which includes edge comparison and node comparison. Although various works have been done to support comparing normal networks and ego-networks, intui...

The principles of this conceptual framework are: (1) personality organization is dissociative as well as associative, consisting of ego states, and progresses through stages of psychosocial development; (2) inappropriately activated ego states cause dysfunction, which is habitual or due to the intense affect of disrupted development or unresolved grief or trauma; (3) completely overcoming dysfu...

The article is based on the Leopold Szondi theory (March 11, 1893 - January 24, 1986), who was a Hungarian psychiatrist. He is known for the psychological tool that bears his name, the Szondi test. He developed a form of depth psychology that had some prominence in Europe in the mid-20th century, but has been ignored for the most part), the study seeks to correlate the szondian test results wit...

Objectives: To examine the relationship between task and ego orientations and the use of stress-coping strategies among athletes participating in the 1994 Winter Olympic Games. We expected that athletes who were high on task and low on ego orientation would employ more problem-solving strategies than athletes with other ego and task profiles. We also expected that athletes high in ego and low i...

In many aerospace engineering design problems, objective function evaluations can be extremely computationally expensive, such as the optimal design of the aerodynamic shape of an airfoil using high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. A widely used approach for dealing with expensive optimization is to use cheap global surrogate (approximation) models to substitute expensive...
