Halk hekimliği yaratılışın var olduğu zamanlardan itibaren insanların hayatta kalabilme yahut sağlıklı olma adına geliştirmiş oldukları geleneksel tedavi sistemidir. Modern tıbbın alternatifi/tamamlayıcısı olarak değerlendirilmesi ve doğal yollara dayalı bir sağaltım formülüne sahip olması söz konusu sisteminin pek çok insan tarafından rağbet görmesini sağlamıştır. Benzer hususları Kırgız halk ...

When people's behavior in laboratory tasks systematically deviates from a rational model, the implication is that real-world performance could be improved by changing the behavior. However, recent studies suggest that behavioral violations of rational models are at least sometimes the result of strategies that are well adapted to the real world (and not necessarily to the laboratory task). Thus...

We study learning in Bayesian games (or games with differential information) with an arbitrary number of bounded rational players, i.e., players who choose approximate best response strategies [approximate Bayesian Nash Equilibrium (BNE) strategies] and who also are allowed to be completely irrational in some states of the world. We show that bounded rational players by repetition can reach a l...

Through the lens of rational addiction theory (Becker and Murphy, 1988), this study investigates whether addiction to mobile social apps should be viewed as a rational behavior rather than an uncontrollable, irrational disorder. To derive the analytical model, this study extends the rational addiction framework to include a utility-level network effect as the key factor that regulates the inter...

Given a finitely supported refinement mask on Zs with irrational coefficients, in many applications, we need to truncate the irrational coefficients in the refinement mask to rational numbers. This note provides a sharp error estimate in the Lp (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) norm sense of a multivariate subdivision scheme caused by truncation of an original refinement mask. Examples are provided to illustrate tha...

CLINICAL AND BASIC RESEARCH in the arena of congestive heart failure is intensive. Nevertheless, accepted treatment modalities for patients with this debilitating and fatal disease are limited to just three: digitalis, diuretics, and vasodilators, and only the latter has been demonstrated to improve survival in patients with congestive heart failure.1 Although cardiac transplantation markedly r...

We consider the problem of describing the possible spectra of an acoustic operator with a periodic finite-gap density. We construct flows on the moduli space of algebraic Riemann surfaces that preserve the periods of the corresponding operator. By a suitable extension of the phase space, these equations can be written with quadratic irrational-ities.

The Multidimensional Scale of Irrational Beliefs (MSIB) is a brief and theoretically founded measure of irrational thinking as conceptualized by Albert Ellis in his most recent works on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (e.g., Ellis, 2003). With a total of 18 items, it captures demandingness, negative self-evaluation, and low frustration tolerance as the three core aspects of irrationality. Unl...
