Singular (p, q)-equations with superlinear reaction and concave boundary condition

2020

We consider a parametric nonlinear elliptic problem driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and of a q-Laplacian (a (Formula presented.) -equation) with a singular and (Formula presented.) -superlinear reaction and a Robin boundary condition with (Formula presented.) -sublinear boundary term (Formula presented.). So, the problem has the combined effects of singular, concave and convex terms. We look for positive solutions and prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter varies.

Alleviating Class Imbalance Problem in Automatic Sleep Stage Classification

2022

For real-world automatic sleep-stage classification tasks, various existing deep learning-based models are biased toward the majority with a high proportion. Because of the unique sleep structure, most of the current polysomnography (PSG) datasets suffer an inherent class imbalance problem (CIP), in which the number of each sleep stage is severely unequal. In this study, we first define the class imbalance factor (CIF) to describe the level of CIP quantitatively. Afterward, we propose two balancing methods to alleviate this problem from the dataset quantity and the relationship between the class distribution and the applied model, respectively. The first one is to employ the data augmentati…

Splines in convex sets under constraints of two‐sided inequality type in a hyperplane

2008

The problem of minimization of a smoothing functional under inequality constraints is considered in a hyperplane. The conditions of the existence of a solution are obtained and some properties of this solution are investigated. It is proved that the solution is a spline. The method for its construction is suggested. First Published Online: 14 Oct 2010

Social-Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Emotion Perception in Daily Life and in a Formal Assessm…

2022

AbstractChildren with neurodevelopmental disorders often have social-emotional and behavioural difficulties. The present study explored these difficulties in children (n = 50, aged 6–10 years) with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and developmental language disorder. Parents, teachers and therapists evaluated children’s social-emotional and behavioural difficulties through a self-devised questionnaire and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Additionally, the children, along with their typically developing age peers (n = 106), completed six emotion discrimination tasks. Analysis revealed some impaired emotion discrimination skills that were predict…

Utilizing ICT to prevent loneliness and social isolation of the elderly. A literature review

2016

Ageing of the population is a worldwide phenomenon. Numerous ICT-based solutions have been developed for elderly care but mainly connected to the physiological and nursing aspects in services for the elderly. Social work is a profession that should pay attention to the comprehensive wellbeing and social needs of the elderly. Many people experience loneliness and depression in their old age, either as a result of living alone or due to a lack of close family ties and reduced connections with their culture of origin, which results in an inability to participate actively in community activities (Singh & Misra, 2009). Participation in society would enhance the quality of life. With the deve…

Intorno alla sociologia dei problemi sociali

2019

Il saggio ricostruisce le diverse prospettive di ricerca sociologica che si sono sempre interrogate sulle cause, le condizioni, le conseguenze e le soluzioni dei problemi sociali, a partire dalla categorizzazione medesima del concetto. The essay reconstructs the different perspectives of sociological research that have always questioned the causes, conditions, consequences and solutions of social problems, starting from the very categorization of the concept.

40 notas sobre la sociedad de riesgo, fase senil del capitalismo

2002

Si la sociedad del riesgo es la fase senil del capitalismo, entonces la comprensión de los peligros medioambientales que se autoincrementan como una coacción del espacio social (que se puede relacionar con la necesidad de la producción de extraer minusvalor del proceso productivo, esto es, que se puede representar como una fase superior de la coacción del tiempo social, relacionado con la generación de plusvalor) aproxima de modo esencial los movimientos sociales emancipatorios tradicionales, como el sindicalismo, a los denominados nuevos movimientos sociales, como el ecologismo.

El consum recreatiu d'esteroides anabolitzants: una perspectiva sociològica

2013

The present study aims to provide a sociological overview of anabolic steroid use in Valencia (Spain), with particular attention to social factors that promote and sustain the recreational use of this drug. We consider not only the extensively documented health risks, but also the social determinants associated with its use. The lack of studies, both in the European and Valencian contexts, which describe the extension and consumption patterns of anabolic steroids among young people, has inspired us to portray the sociological characteristics of the recreational anabolic steroid user, taking the main conceptual tools of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu as a central reference point. Following …
