Boosting Hankel matrices for face emotion recognition and pain detection

2017

HighligthsDynamics of face expression descriptors are modeled for emotion recognition.A set of Hankel matrices is built upon several multi-scale face representations.Boosting and random subspace projection are used for dynamics selection.Dynamics of Haar-like features and Gabor Energies are compared.Fine-grained dynamics of subtle expressions can be modeled at small spatial scales. Studies in psychology have shown that the dynamics of emotional expressions play an important role in face emotion recognition in humans. Motivated by these studies, in this paper the dynamics of face expressions are modeled and used for automatic emotion recognition and pain detection.Given a temporal sequence o…

Ensemble of Hankel Matrices for Face Emotion Recognition

2015

In this paper, a face emotion is considered as the result of the composition of multiple concurrent signals, each corresponding to the movements of a specific facial muscle. These concurrent signals are represented by means of a set of multi-scale appearance features that might be correlated with one or more concurrent signals. The extraction of these appearance features from a sequence of face images yields to a set of time series. This paper proposes to use the dynamics regulating each appearance feature time series to recognize among different face emotions. To this purpose, an ensemble of Hankel matrices corresponding to the extracted time series is used for emotion classification withi…

Emotional and behavioral problems in children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder: Impact of age and learning disabilities

2008

Comorbidity with other psychological problems (PP) complicates the course of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and makes treatment more difficult. The purpose of the present study was to (a) study the correspondence between the perceptions of parents and teachers about PP, (b) determine which PP predict the severity of the manifestations of ADHD, and (c) analyze the role of age and learning disabilities (LD) in the development of PP and ADHD. The participants were 72 children with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD. The PP were measured using rating scales filled out by parents and teachers. The results showed high correspondence between the two informant groups in rating the probl…

Emotional Demands and Emotional Dissonance in the workplace: effects on well-being and workplace mood

2018

Theoretical background. The connection between work-related stress and psychosocial risks and workers’ health and safety has been confirmed in a wide range of studies all over the world. According EU-OSHA (2016), "while acknowledging the role of individual dispositions and general life circumstances, it has been shown that stress stemming from work-related factors may significantly affect workers’ functioning in and outside work". In the same report, focused on emerging risks, it is stated that "every job has some degree of pressure involved, but with proper monitoring, the allocation of adequate resources and support, workers should be in a position to deal with these pressures while remai…

Sociodemographic and occupational factors related to exposure to psychosocial risk factors by occupation in Spain. The MatEmEsp project

2019

espanolObjetivo: El objetivo del estudio es describir el nivel de exposicion a riesgos psicosociales por ocupacion en poblacion laboral espanola y analizar su relacion con condiciones de empleo y caracteristicas sociodemograficas. Metodos: La Matriz Empleo Exposicion Espanola (MatEmESp) es la fuente de informacion para la descripcion de los niveles de exposicion a riesgos psicosociales en 2005. Se identifican las ocupaciones con mayores niveles de exposicion y se analiza su relacion con condiciones de empleo y caracteristicas sociodemograficas por ocupacion. Resultados: Se encontraron niveles de exposicion a influencia en el trabajo inferiores al punto medio de la escala (50, escala de 0 a …

Well-Being without Employment? Promoting the Employability of Refugees

2020

There are more than 25 million refugees in the world. Many of them try to reach the Mediterranean in order to enter Europe. Spain is one of the countries that receive refugees and have to integrate them. Many refugees have experienced persecution in their countries, as well as forced migration, rape, diseases, etc. Their integration requires support and coordination from the government, health services, and social agents. The first step in achieving this integration is getting a job, which is currently an important issue. Thus, we aim to analyze the employability of a specific group of refugees in Spain and then develop and implement an intervention program to improve their employability. O…

Harsh times: do stressors lead to labor market losses?

2018

This paper examines the links between stressful life events and labor market outcomes. We use twin data for Finnish men and women combined with register-based individual information on earnings, employment and social income transfers. The twin data allow us to account for shared environmental and genetic confounders. We measure the exposure to stressful life events in 1990. The labor market outcomes are measured during a 20-year follow-up over the period 1990–2009. Three findings stand out. First, stressors lead to worse labor market outcomes. Second, both men and women are distressed by labor market shocks, but they respond differently to marital problems and health shocks within the famil…

Why do Third Sector Employees Intend to Remain or Leave their Workplace?

2016

Third sector employees have claimed to enjoy high job satisfaction and low turnover intentions because their work is considered intrinsically rewarding. Employees have strong motivation for public service and they consider the organization’s goals as their own. This makes work meaningful and thus reduces turnover intentions. Changes in the third sector institutional environment, however, have intensified the working environment. This probably undermines job quality and thus increases turnover intentions. The analysis conducted among Finnish third sector employees showed that third sector employees report more turnover intentions than their counterparts in the public or private sector. This …
