Predicting Social Distancing Intention and Behavior During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Integrated Social Cognition Model.

2020

Abstract Background Social distancing is a key behavior to minimize COVID-19 infections. Identification of potentially modifiable determinants of social distancing behavior may provide essential evidence to inform social distancing behavioral interventions. Purpose The current study applied an integrated social cognition model to identify the determinants of social distancing behavior, and the processes involved, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods In a prospective correlational survey study, samples of Australian (N = 365) and U.S. (N = 440) residents completed online self-report measures of social cognition constructs (attitude, subjective norm, moral norm, anticipated regret…

Learning, regularization and ill-posed inverse problems

2005

Many works have shown that strong connections relate learning from examples to regularization techniques for ill-posed inverse problems. Nevertheless by now there was no formal evidence neither that learning from examples could be seen as an inverse problem nor that theoretical results in learning theory could be independently derived using tools from regularization theory. In this paper we provide a positive answer to both questions. Indeed, considering the square loss, we translate the learning problem in the language of regularization theory and show that consistency results and optimal regularization parameter choice can be derived by the discretization of the corresponding inverse prob…

Learning from examples as an inverse problem

2005

Many works related learning from examples to regularization techniques for inverse problems, emphasizing the strong algorithmic and conceptual analogy of certain learning algorithms with regularization algorithms. In particular it is well known that regularization schemes such as Tikhonov regularization can be effectively used in the context of learning and are closely related to algorithms such as support vector machines. Nevertheless the connection with inverse problem was considered only for the discrete (finite sample) problem and the probabilistic aspects of learning from examples were not taken into account. In this paper we provide a natural extension of such analysis to the continuo…

O DIREITO À LIBERDADE PESSOAL E A DETENÇÃO ADMINISTRATIVA DOS IMIGRANTES IRREGULARES E CLANDESTINOS NA ITÁLIA

2015

Na Itália, como em outros Estados da União Europeia, vem ocorrendo recentemente o fenômeno da “detenção administrativa” dos cidadãos estrangeiros irregulares, bem como dos requerentes de asilo, a maioria proveniente da África, do Oriente Médio e da Península Balcânica. Esses imigrantes, pelo simples fato de terem ingressado irregularmente no território europeu, apesar da imigração ilegal não constituir delito, são privados da liberdade pessoal ou de circulação e permanência, sendo detidos pelas autoridades de segurança pública, às vezes sem a validação da autoridade jurisdicional, durante um período de tempo também muito prolongado, em determinados locais, formais o…

Integración sin derechos: de la irregularidad a la participación

2006

-Angeles.Solanes@uv.es Uno de los pilares de la actuales políticas de inmigración en los Estados de la Unión Europea lo constituye la integración. Este trabajo trata de poner de relieve hasta qué punto es determinante la dimensión jurídica en el proceso de integración. Para ello, parte de la idea de que no es posible la integración sin derechos, es decir, sin el reconocimiento de un estatuto jurídico pleno para los extranjeros que obliga, por una parte, a superar las situaciones de exclusión estratificada de colectivos como los inmigrantes irregulares, y por otra, a incluir en el catálogo jurídico de los extranjeros derechos de participación política. Se trata de transformar la categoría de…

Jeszcze o kasacie klasztoru kanoników regularnych p.w. św. Mikołaja w Kaliszu

2020

W 1810 r. doszło do kasaty klasztoru kanoników regularnych p.w. św. Mikołaja w Kaliszu. W Archiwum Diecezjalnym we Włocławku zachował się protokół sekularyzacyjny, przedstawiający stan kościoła, zabudowań klasztornych, wyposażenie kościoła oraz zakrystii. W protokole znajduje się też spis dochodów klasztoru, głownie fundacji mszalnych z miejscowości położonych w pobliskich powiatach oraz z domów znajdujących się w Kaliszu. Z przedstawionego stanu majątkowego wynika, że sytuacja klasztoru była stabilna, co oznacza, że likwidacja konwentu kaliskiego była nieuzasadniona i niezrozumiała.

Poly(alkoxyphenylene-thienylene) Langmuir-Schäfer thin-films for advanced performance transistors

2005

Solution processed Langmuir-Scha ̈fer and cast thin films of regioregular poly(2,5-dioctyloxy-1,4- phenylene-alt-2,5-thienylene) are investigated as transistor active layers. The study of their field-effect properties evidences that no transistor behavior can be seen with a cast film channel material. This was not surprising considering the twisted conformation of the polymer backbone predicted by various theoretical studies. Strikingly, the Langmuir-Scha ̈fer (LS) thin films exhibit a field-effect mobility of 5 × 10-4 cm2/V‚s, the highest attained so far with an alkoxy-substituted conjugated polymer. Extensive optical, morphological, and structural thin-film characterization supports the a…

Nodal Solutions for Supercritical Laplace Equations

2015

In this paper we study radial solutions for the following equation $$\Delta u(x)+f (u(x), |x|) = 0,$$ where $${x \in {\mathbb{R}^{n}}}$$ , n > 2, f is subcritical for r small and u large and supercritical for r large and u small, with respect to the Sobolev critical exponent $${2^{*} = \frac{2n}{n-2}}$$ . The solutions are classified and characterized by their asymptotic behaviour and nodal properties. In an appropriate super-linear setting, we give an asymptotic condition sufficient to guarantee the existence of at least one ground state with fast decay with exactly j zeroes for any j ≥ 0. Under the same assumptions, we also find uncountably many ground states with slow decay, singular gro…

A Nonlinear Primal-Dual Method for Total Variation-Based Image Restoration

1999

We present a new method for solving total variation (TV) minimization problems in image restoration. The main idea is to remove some of the singularity caused by the nondifferentiability of the quantity $|\nabla u|$ in the definition of the TV-norm before we apply a linearization technique such as Newton's method. This is accomplished by introducing an additional variable for the flux quantity appearing in the gradient of the objective function, which can be interpreted as the normal vector to the level sets of the image u. Our method can be viewed as a primal-dual method as proposed by Conn and Overton [ A Primal-Dual Interior Point Method for Minimizing a Sum of Euclidean Norms, preprint,…
