Given this indissoluble jumble of definitions in Jung - which continues to this day in analytical psychology - I suggested in the Report that Jung's theory of archetypes should not be considered as a coherent theory, but as at least four different theories, which are confounded with each other in Jung's works. This leads me to suspect that Goodwyn equates archetype with instinct, which, as I have shown above, is a partial aspect of Jung's archetype theory but which is incompatible with other aspects of the same theory. In addition, it is still completely unclear which elements a catalogue of archetypes would contain - according to Jung's own statement, the number of archetypes is even unlimited (Jung [17], para. Jung however makes clear that archetypes arise without any influence from environment, experience etc. (Jung [18], paras. [Extracted from the article]

Nowadays the prediction and change of waste-related behaviors represent a key topic for scholars and policy makers. The theoretical mainstays applied to waste separation behavior, such as the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), the Norm Activation Model and the Value Belief Norm, do not include the construct of goal in their formulation. Other goal-focused theories, such as the Goal Systems Theory (GST), lack applications on separation behavior. Recently, Ajzen and Kruglanski (2019) have proposed the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit (TRGP) which combines TPB and GST. Considering TRGP has the potential to offer further insights on human behavior and, to our knowledge, there is no application of TRGP to recycling behavior yet, this paper analyses waste separation behavior of households in Maastricht and Zwolle (The Netherlands) under the lens of TRGP. Although waste separation behavior represents a kind of habitual behavior, this paper highlights the influence of goals and motivation on intention to separate waste. Furthermore, it offers some indications to promote behavior change and some suggestions for future research directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Though a computer professional, Meredith Broussard feels "that the way people talk about technology is out of touch with what digital technology can actually do", and that seeing the latter as a panacea has "resulted in a tremendous amount of poorly designed technology" (6), which needlessly complicates instead of improving or making life easier.

The Gemini Papers, an assignment for undergraduate student-teams when planning and doing a lab experiment, welcomed subjective insights not normally captured in a more traditional, objective lab report. Students wrote short, reflective, first-person accounts, articulating the messiness of experimentation. Applying the four-quadrant integral ecology model with its multiple perspectives of knowing, they began to form understandings and make meaning gained through observation and testing, as well as by trusting intuitions, crazy notions and missteps too. Students examined their processes of both their lived and lab experiences while explicitly twinning natural and social science to embrace countless and complex ways knowledge is arrived at and intelligence is viewed and valued.

Many theories of motivation recognize a person's identity adds value to the prediction of behavior; albeit indirectly, through constructs such as social norms, self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control, and values. Recently, behavioral research has more directly assessed the influence of identity on behavior; however, it is unclear whether such research aligns with the theoretical establishments of identity. This review investigated the identity theory alignment of existing behavior research by systematically searching, screening, and reviewing identity-behavior relevant papers, across three behavioral psychology databases. Twenty-three papers meet the inclusion criteria for review (original research with a primary focus on identity and behavior, within healthy adult population), and data relating to identity-behavior theoretical viewpoints, research methods, and study findings were extracted and synthesized to provide a scoping overview of current research. Most reviewed papers presented identity as a loosely defined construct; commonly operationalized as social identity, omitting the theorized multiplicity of social and self-identities. Overall outcomes suggested that identity influences behavior indirectly through intention strength, rather than directly as a post-intention mechanism. While existing research has been crucial in illuminating potential influences of identity on behavior, there is a need to strengthen current understandings and theoretical alignments within future research relating to identity and behavior.

In this paper, the implementation of artificial neural networks (multilayer perceptron [MLP] and radial base functions [RBF]) and the upgraded Markov chain model have been studied and performed to identify the human behavior patterns during rock, paper, and scissors game. The main motivation of this research is the design and construction of an intelligent robot with the ability to defeat a human opponent. MATLAB software has been used to implement intelligent algorithms. After implementing the algorithms, their effectiveness in detecting human behavior pattern has been investigated. To ensure the ideal performance of the implemented model, each player played with the desired algorithms in three different stages. The results showed that the percentage of winning computer with MLP and RBF neural networks and upgraded Markov model, on average in men and women is 59%, 76.66%, and 75%, respectively. Obtained results clearly indicate a very good performance of the RBF neural network and the upgraded Markov model in the mental modeling of the human opponent in the game of rock, paper, and scissors. In the end, the designed game has been employed in both hardware and software which include the Zana intelligent robot and a digital version with a graphical user interface design on the stand. To the best knowledge of the authors, the precision of novel presented method for determining human behavior patterns was the highest precision among all of the previous studies.

This short book by Lorraine Daston is a classic essay: she identifies an intellectual conundrum - why do humans across cultures and history look to nature for models for cultural norms and orders? What we are referring to when appealing to a "natural order", then, is the existence not of I one i particular natural order but of normativity as such. The text is an outtake and deepening of central ideas Daston developed in her I Wonders and the Order of Nature, 1150-1750 i (with Katharine Park; Zone Books, 1998). [Extracted from the article]

A simple operational model could allow one person to monitor all around us to ensure security and privacy, while maintaining cost and performance of management and getting it right. This inspection with realtime video monitoring function can be sent to hospitals or nursing homes for the sick and elderly, as well as various people working in important area such as airport. In we decided to use the YOLOv4 (You Only One See One) algorithm, which is the newest and fastest of the total algorithms for fast analysis of actions and accurate results when dealing with complex human behaviour. This method uses a bounding box to indicate the action. In these cases, we collected 4,674 different data from different hospitals or different cases, making the most accurate use of one of the largest datasets used in this type of project. When we research, we divide our actions into three different classes: standing, sitting, and walking. Model can control and analyse the activities of many patients or other normal people, and support can monitor the activities of many. After completing three projects, the model achieved an average accuracy of 94.6667. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The correct interaction between the workforce and augmented, virtual, and mixed reality technologies represents a crucial aspect of the success of the smart factory. This interaction is, indeed, affected by the variability of human behavior and its reliability, which can strongly influence the quality, safety, and productivity standards. For this reason, this paper aims to provide a clear and complete analysis of the impacts of these technologies on the worker’s performance. Design/methodology/approach: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to identify peerreviewed papers that focused on the implementation of augmented and virtual technologies in manufacturing systems and their effects on human performance. Findings: In total, 61 papers were selected and thoroughly analyzed. The findings of this study reveal that augmented, virtual and mixed reality can be applied for several applications in manufacturing systems with different types of devices, that involve various advantages and disadvantages. The worker’s performances that are influenced by the use of these technologies are above all time to complete a task, error rate, and mental and physical workload. Originality/value: Over the years augmented, virtual and mixed reality technologies in manufacturing systems have been investigated by researchers. Several studies mostly focused on technological issues, have been conducted. The role of the operator, whose tasks may be influenced positively or negatively by the use of new devices, has been hardly ever analyzed and a deep analysis of human performance affected by these technologies is missing. This study represents a preliminary analysis to fill this gap. The results obtained from the SLR allowed us to develop a conceptual framework that investigates the current stateof-the-art knowledge about the topic and highlights gaps in the current research.

Introduction: Brain lateralization is associated with human behavior. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effects of brain lateralization on the scores of paranormal beliefs. Methods: The study population included 180 students of Sanandaj universities, Sanandaj City, Iran who were selected with convenience sampling method (100 left-brained males, 6 left-brained females, 56 both left- and right-brained males and 22 both left- and right-brained females). The research tools were the paranormal belief scale developed by Blackmore (1994), as well as the brain lateralization questionnaire (1985). Results: The obtained findings suggested a significant difference between the left-brain and right-brained people in terms of paranormal beliefs. A significant difference was also found between the left-brained males and both left- and right-brained females in terms of paranormal beliefs. Conclusion: The paranormal beliefs of the left-brained cases were different from both left- and right-brained subjects, which can be seen between the left-brained males and both left- and right-brained females.

Nanostructured composites built with microporous cellulose fibers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have potential impacts in the fields of energy storage, sensors, and flexible electronics. Few results have been shown for high mechanoelectrical sensitivity of CNT‐paper composite because of numerous current paths in the network. Here, CNT‐paper‐based nanostructured composite sensors whose sensitivities are generated by controlled tensile fracture of the composite are presented. Under uniaxial load, the cellulose fibers in the paper experience straightening, stiffening, and fracture. The cellulose fibers originally parallel to the tension are fractured while those inclined and perpendicular to the tension are reorganized to form crossbar junctions in the vicinity of a crack. The cross junctions exhibit resistive and capacitive sensitivity to the out‐of‐plane force by the compression of the junctions. Such piezoresistive and piezocapacitive sensitivities are characterized and evaluated for human behavior monitoring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A literary criticism of the short story "The Yellow Wall-Paper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is presented. It comments on the similarity of the main character to that of the character named Bertha Mason from the novel "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë. The character created by Gilman is described as wild and bestial and the use of imagery relating to cats is discussed. The use of animal references to communicate ideas about gender is also explored.

Introduction: Attitudes and aptitudes play an important role in the acceptance of hearing aids. We can objectively and subjectively examine the attitude of individuals toward hearing loss and hearing aids, using Attitudes towards Loss of Hearing Questionnaire (ALHQ). The aim of this study was to examine the effect of demographic factors on the responses of individuals to ALHQ and to compare the scores of the questionnaire between hearing aid users and hearing aid non-users. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 100 hearing-impaired participants. They were divided into hearing aid users and non-users groups. After hearing assessments, the participants were asked to complete the questionnaire; then, the responses of the two groups were compared and the effects of demographic factors on the responses were examined. Results: The questionnaire scores in the hearing aid non-users were higher than the hearing aid users. The results showed a reverse correlation between the history of hearing aid usage and the scores of the questionnaire. There was also a reverse correlation between the mean score of pure tone thresholds in the left ear with the scores of the questionnaire in the hearing aid users. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the type of hearing aid and the scores of the questionnaire. Conclusion: Hearing aid non-users have a more negative attitude toward hearing aids and are more likely to deny their hearing loss compared to hearing aid users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Taking their inspiration from philosophy, human sciences have learnt that collecting people's life history is fundamental to understand and clarify situations and the «lebenswelt» of human beings. Life histories and the narrations of self provide the human scientist a deeper wiew and comprehension of the causes and reasons that other methodologies, such as observation, cannot get. Everyone is a storyteller of himself and such narrations of self enable us to know the invisible and the inner life of all our similars. Starting from this convinction Duccio Demetrio sees writing as a fundamental exercise that everyone should do in order to get a better knowledge of himself. An exercise that is also and mainly a pleasure and a way to «play seriously» with our own identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a systematic review of research on predicting human behavior through unstructured textual data, employing a comprehensive selection process illustrated in a flow diagram. The review categorizes 82 selected papers into three primary behavioral domains: emotional, social, and cognitive. Each paper undergoes meticulous examination, identifying objectives, algorithms, computational models, and applications. Natural language processing (NLP) emerges as a dominant text mining approach, utilized in over half of the literature, followed by data extraction, report arrangement, and clusterization. The study further employs VOSviewer to visualize the co-occurrence of the term "text mining," revealing prevalent associations and emphasizing the challenges in analyzing unstructured data efficiently. The article contributes to understanding the evolving landscape of behavior analysis through text mining, addressing the need for automated methods in evaluating individuals' attitudes, emotions, or performance.

This article explores the design and ethical considerations of social robots in human-robot interaction (HRI). The authors argue that social robots should have an honest design that accurately reflects their capabilities and aligns with user needs in specific use cases. They suggest that an honest design can reduce uncertainty and shape users' expectations during interaction. The article raises questions about categorizing user needs, adjusting a robot's capabilities, perceiving a robot with an honest design, and developing an evaluation framework for a robot's affordances, capabilities, and usability.

I argue that Alexander Hamilton offers a previously underappreciated contribution to the debate over presidential selfpardons. Federalist Nos. 69 and 70 have been used in Supreme Court pardon cases and the scholarly literature on self-pardons in a limited and narrow fashion. This limited usage has resulted in a blinkered view of the presidential pardon power, one that understates the limitations on this broad--but not unlimited--executive power. Federalist Nos. 69 and 70 reveal that the framers would likely not have supported a presidential power to selfpardon; such a power would place the president above federal law and render inoperative the people's ability to hold the president accountable for his or her actions through legal prosecution. Based on Hamilton's writings in Federalist Nos. 69 and 70, the ability to prosecute the president played an important--albeit secondary--role in checking the power of the president and encouraging appropriate behavior on the part of the nation's chief executive. Hamilton's views regarding the necessity of such checks on presidential power jibe with the framers' views on human nature generally, and when combined with other available evidence--historical, textual, and structural--Hamilton's arguments offer an important and especially compelling contribution to the case against presidential self-pardons. At a minimum, this article makes a strong case for the inclusion of heretofore under-emphasized and often excluded portions of The Federalist Papers in any analysis of presidential self-pardons and analyses of the pardon power broadly speaking.

Self-immolation is a fatal and devastating method of committing suicide used around the world. The chief aim of the present article is to look at the trend of indexed papers in PubMed covering different aspects of self-immolation. PubMed search engine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) was searched by using six keywords i.e. "self-immolation", "self-inflicted burn", "self-burning", "self-incineration", "suicidal burns" and "suicide by burning". These keywords should appear either in the title or the abstract of the articles. The time frame was set as to retrieve papers expanding from early indexing time up to end of the year 2011. Based on the search strategy 132 papers were retrieved from these total numbers; 12 (9%) were categorized as review papers; 24 (18%) as case reports and the rest 96 (73%) were original studies. It seems that the number of papers increased during the years of investigations and the highest indexed papers i.e. 14 (10.6%) belonged to the year 2011. While most journals, published only one article the highest indexed papers i.e. 35 (26.5%) belonged to Burns. There was an increasing trend in the number of self-immolation articles indexed in PubMed since 1965. Three journals i.e. Burns, Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation and Journal of Forensic Sciences hosted for more than 37% of all those indexed articles. However, given the increasing trend of self-immolation still more studies are needed to shed light on the diverse aspects of this appalling human behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with Edward Soja’s thirding-as-othering process that is part of the thirdspace experience proposed by Soja’s spatial theory of subjectivity. According to the paper, both the enlightening milieu of the thirdspace and the thirding-as-othering process can significantly function as therapeutic elements of rejuvenating man’s mental resources that are fatigued and exhausted by the psychological case of ego depletion. In this respect, keeping a link between the psychological theory of ego depletion and Soja’s thirdspace, the paper suggests an interdisciplinary therapeutic approach that is both philosophical and psychological. Therefore, tracing the potential specifications and implications of rejuvenating man’s depleted mental resources, the study proposes a self-regulation plan according to which the individual can gain insight in different patterns of human behavior that are used as suggestive rejuvenating role models. The patterns provided by the thirding-as-othering process together with the motivation and willpower created there can help the individual to shrug off the state of ego-depletion and recharge his worn-out mental powers in light of the insight and enlightenment he can acquire within the framework of his discovered thirdspace. Accordingly, the Third Space is recommended as a human enhancing area of self-discovery and a therapeutic and rejuvenating one as well that could be regarded as a replication of what Aldo Leopard calls the “land of ethics” . To further establish its argument, the paper applies its proposed hybrid approach to Albert Camus’s The Stranger. This is critically done with some questions in mind concerning manifestations of ego depletion, the way the novel portrays its ego depleted characters, their thirdspaces and the relevant emergent suggestive alternatives and manifestations of the rejuvenation of their depleted mental resources.
