Joiner’s Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide (IPTS) considers the interpersonal variables low social belonging and perception being a burden on others as drivers suicidal ideation. This study has sought to review empirical evidence this prediction. In all, 40 studies were found. The findings report major mediator moderator role perceived burdensomeness (PB) thwarted belongingness (TB)...

The purpose of this systematic review 107 papers is to address the conceptual confusion about what inclusive leadership (IL) behavior entails and understand theoretical development IL. Synthesizing divergent conceptualizations leader behaviors, we propose a multi-level (i.e., employee, team, organizational) model IL consisting four dimensions namely, fostering employee's uniqueness (e.g., promo...

An extensive literature shows that social relationships influence psychological well-being, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We test predictions about online interactions and well-being made by theories of belongingness, relationship maintenance, relational investment, social support, and social comparison. An opt-in panel study of 1,910 Facebook users linked self-reported measures...

We present a neuro-fuzzy system for character recognition from printed documents using a fuzzy Hough transform technique. For each character pattern, fuzzy Hough transform extracts information from the standard Hough transform accumulator cells into a number of fuzzy sets. These basic fuzzy sets are combined by t-norms to synthesize additional fuzzy sets whose heights form an n-dimensional feat...

A great deal of research has focused on work group diversity, but management scholars have only recently focused on inclusion. As a result, the inclusion literature is still under development, with limited agreement on the conceptual underpinnings of this construct. In this article, the authors first use Brewer’s optimal distinctiveness theory to develop a definition of employee inclusion in th...

Clustering algorithms have successfully been applied as a digital image segmentation technique in various fields and applications. However, those clustering algorithms are only applicable for specific images such as medical images, microscopic images etc. In this paper, we present a new clustering algorithm called Adaptive FuzzyK-means (AFKM) clustering for image segmentation which could be app...
