The utility function and the emotional well-being function

2004

Behind the utility function, which is the basis for economic and finance theory, is a philosophical and ethical approach based essentially on the Utilitarian and Hedonistic schools. Once qualitative, the utility function’s approach shifted to a quantitative one based on the work of the mathematician, D. Bernoulli. This quantitative approach is normative and based on a maximizing agent. In this paper, the “emotional well-being” function is developed which mixes the ethics of a rational economic individual with those of a more complete individual who is simultaneously conditioned by economic, instinctive, social, religious, ethical, and esthetic values. This new utility function of emotional …

The influence of the quantum nature of nuclei in high harmonic generation from H$_2^+$-like molecular ions

2013

We study the full quantum dynamics of a simple molecular ion driven by an intense laser field. In particular we show that the quantum nature of the nuclear dynamics affects the emitted high harmonic generation (HHG) spectra, strongly reshaping the plateau region. In fact, it is evident that the characteristic flat trend is transformed into a descending trend, with the lower harmonics being two orders of magnitude more intense than the higher harmonics. We show that this effect is more pronounced in the lighter isotopic species of H$_2^+$ molecular ions and we also demonstrate that in this case the contribution to HHG from the antibonding electronic energetic surface is of the same order of …

Hvilke faktorer påvirker unge jenters frafall fra videregående opplæring? : En kvalitativ studie basert på livshistorien til åtte jenter, som har avb…

2017

Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap ME516 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 It is a challenge for both the individual and the society when young adults quit high school. A connection to school and work life is important for their physical and mental health, and the health of future generations. Prevention of school drop outs is important in relation to promoting public health. The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding as well as the theoretical foundation for contributing causes, for why girls quit high school. We look at the underlying causes, with special focus on the determinants of upbringing and school. The aim of the study is: What is it with upbringing and school, that the …

Évaluation du jugement temporel après l'introduction d'un stimulus émotionnel de nature olfactive : apport dans le diagnostic différentiel entre la m…

2014

Revue non indexée dans le JCR.; La multiplicité des termes et des théories concernant les émotions rend leur évaluation particulièrement complexe. La majorité des évaluations actuelles ne prend en compte que l’expérience psychique de l’individu et omet la part implicite des processus émotionnels. Les procédures d’amorçage permettent d’étudier ce type de traitement inconscient. En nous appuyant sur les paradigmes d’amorçage affectif et les modèles d’horloge interne, nous avons élaboré un paradigme d’amorçage émotionnel. Il consiste en une tâche de jugement temporel après l’introduction d’un stimulus émotionnel. En temps normal, l’introduction d’un tel stimulus va créer une activation de l’ho…

Time Unification on Local Binary Patterns Three Orthogonal Planes for Facial Expression Recognition

2019

International audience; Machine learning has known a tremendous growth within the last years, and lately, thanks to that, some computer vision algorithms started to access what is difficult or even impossible to perceive by the human eye. While deep learning based computer vision algorithms have made themselves more and more present in the recent years, more classical feature extraction methods, such as the ones based on Local Binary Patterns (LBP), still present a non negligible interest, especially when dealing with small datasets. Furthermore, this operator has proven to be quite useful for facial emotions and human gestures recognition in general. Micro-Expression (ME) classification is…

WATCHING PEOPLE: ALGORITHMS TO STUDY HUMAN MOTION AND ACTIVITIES

2020

Nowadays human motion analysis is one of the most active research topics in Computer Vision and it is receiving an increasing attention from both the industrial and scientific communities. The growing interest in human motion analysis is motivated by the increasing number of promising applications, ranging from surveillance, human–computer interaction, virtual reality to healthcare, sports, computer games and video conferencing, just to name a few. The aim of this thesis is to give an overview of the various tasks involved in visual motion analysis of the human body and to present the issues and possible solutions related to it. In this thesis, visual motion analysis is categorized into thr…

The impacts of legitimacy appraisal of defeat on supporters’ identity management strategies: Testing the role of emotions

2022

Emotion is a central feature of many competitive sports. In this regard, re- search revealed that defeats have powerful impacts on athletes who can feel deep- ly distressed or annoyed. Comparatively, relatively few studies have directly ad- dressed the emotional experience of supporters associated with losing teams. This is surprising when taking into account the negative consequences of emotions on intergroup relations (i.e., fans riots). To fill this gap, it is crucial to identify to whom these emotions are addressed. In this study, we proposed that the ob- ject of specific emotions would trigger the use of specific identity management strategies depending on the legitimacy appraisal of t…
