Study Analyzing the Role of Nomophobia Tendencies with Friendship Quality: A Study of Indonesian College Students

Introduction: Smartphones have become a primary need in the technological era. However, anxiety can arise when individuals are not near their smartphones, which is known as nomophobia. This study aims to determine the relationship between nomophobia tendencies and friendship quality.
 Methods: This research uses a quantitative correlational method with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 371 students aged 18-25 years in Indonesia was taken using non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected using the nomophobia questionnaire (NMP-Q) and the McGill Friendship Questionnaire-Friend's Functions (Short) (MFQ-FFS) questionnaires.
 Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between nomophobia tendencies and friendship quality (r = 0.294 and p = 0.000). The higher an individual's nomophobia tendencies, the higher the quality of friendships formed.
 Conclusion: Nomophobia has a positive relationship with friendship quality. This shows that individuals with nomophobia tendencies find it easier to establish and maintain friendly relationships.

An Investigation of the Influence of MBTI Personality on College Students’ Procrastination

Procrastination is the act of delaying essential tasks. It involves avoiding immediate action on a task by engaging in unrelated activities, leading to delays. Recognized as a detrimental habit, procrastination significantly impacts college students' lives. Prior research has primarily focused on physiological and environmental factors influencing procrastination. This study investigates the correlation between MBTI personality types and procrastination among college students. Data from 621 university students, collected through a questionnaire, were analyzed using SPSS. The findings indicate a tendency for individuals with NP-type personalities to procrastinate more, whereas those with J-type personalities are less inclined to do so. The complex relationship between personality and procrastination is highlighted, enhancing our understanding of its influence. This research provides valuable insights for both students and educators in addressing procrastination.

Secular change in heights of rural adults in west-central poland between 1986 and 2016: The transition from pre- to post-communism

Secular change in the heights of adult men and women resident in ten rural communities in west-central Poland in four decennial surveys between 1986 and 2016 is considered. The adults were parents of children attending schools in rural communities in the province of Poznań. During each survey, parents of school children were asked to complete a questionnaire which requested their ages, heights and completed levels of education. Ages were reported in whole years. The self-reported heights were adjusted for the tendency of individuals to overestimate height. Height loss among of individuals 35+ years was estimated with sex-specific equations and was added to the adjusted heights. Secular gains in heights of adult males across the 30 year interval, and across the 1986–1996 and 2006–2016 surveys were, on average, larger than corresponding gains in heights of adult females; the sex difference between 1996 and 2006 surveys was negligible. When heights were regressed on year of birth, heights of males and females born before 1950 (prior to World War II and shortly after) showed minimal and non-significant secular changes, while heights of those born post-1950 showed larger and significant secular gains, more so in males than in females. The results highlight significant secular trends in the heights of rural adults over a 30-year interval. Consistent with other studies in Poland, the positive trends likely reflected political, educational and socio-economic changes and by inference improved nutritional and health conditions across generations.

Research on the Design of an AI Career Path Recommendation System Based on MBTI from a Cross-Cultural Perspective

In the process of globalization, personalized career planning within a cross-cultural context has become a challenge, especially when seeking a balance between diverse cultural values and educational systems. This study aims to explore how to provide customized career planning advice in a cross-cultural environment through the design of an AI career path recommendation system based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Utilizing artificial intelligence technology, and leveraging the large language model of OpenAI's ChatGPT combined with big data analysis, the system proposes career paths that align with users MBTI types, academic backgrounds, grades, and hobbies, in accordance with their personal and cultural backgrounds. By integrating MBTI personality analysis, the research emphasizes the importance of understanding individual tendencies and cultural values in career planning and demonstrates the potential of AI in promoting cross-cultural career planning and educational pathway choices. The development of this system not only provides scientific and systematic support for us- ers to explore suitable career paths but also showcases its effectiveness and innovation in practical application through case analysis. This, in turn, advances individuals pursuit of personalized and meaningful career development in diverse cultural environments.

Trajectories of relationship and sexual satisfaction over 2 years in the Covid-19 pandemic: A latent class analysis.

Previous research on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on romantic relationships has mainly concentrated on short-term effects and average trends of change. This study aimed to explore different trajectories of relationship and sexual satisfaction from April 2020 to March 2022. Including a cross-national sample of 2859 individuals, a latent class approach was applied to identify subgroups of sexual and relationship satisfaction trajectories. Participants' satisfaction levels, attachment style, psychological symptoms, life satisfaction, and living arrangements were taken into account. Three latent classes were identified for both relationship and sexual satisfaction: (1) a group with high satisfaction levels but a slightly declining trajectory, (2) a group with low satisfaction levels but an ascending trajectory, and (3) a fluctuating group. Living apart, having children, psychological symptoms, low life satisfaction, and avoidant attachment characterized the two groups with low or fluctuating trajectories. The findings suggest that there were different trajectories of relationship and sexual satisfaction during the pandemic, which can be predicted by individual dispositions. Even 2 years after the pandemic, its effects had not disappeared.

Abstract P245: Association Between Individual Socioeconomic Status and Discharge Dispositions to Home or Rehabilitation Following Incident Stroke Hospitalization: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study

Background: The contribution of socioeconomic status (SES) to discharge destination in stroke survivors is not known. Hypothesis: Discharge to home, as compared to inpatient rehabilitation, will be greater among stroke survivors with low, as compared to high SES. Methods: The study population included ARIC Study participants, enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare, aged 66 years or older, with incident ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (1992-2017). Black participants from the Minneapolis and Washington County study centers were excluded due to low numbers. Individual SES was estimated from median household income and education. Discharge disposition was ascertained from CMS Medicare inpatient records. Logistic regression models with inverse probability of treatment weighting were used to estimate the effect of exposures, accounting for age, sex, race, study center, comorbidity, and stroke severity. The Elixhauser Comorbidity Index was used to as a measure of comorbidity burden. Stroke severity was estimated from discharge diagnosis and procedure codes obtained from Medicare hospitalization records. Results: Of a total 710 ARIC stroke survivors (mean age at discharge 76 (SD: 6.2) years, 30.1% (214 of 710) Black, 57.5% (408 of 710) women), 50.7% (360 of 710) were discharged home. Compared to high income, low and moderate income was associated with lower adjusted odds of discharge to home among White participants (AOR:0.8, 95% CI: 0.68-0.93) and AOR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.57-0.69), respectively) and higher odds discharge to home among Black participants (AOR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.07-1.73 and AOR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.11-1.83, respectively). Low income was also associated with higher odds of discharge home among women. Adjustment for stroke severity and comorbidity did not attenuate estimates. No significant association between education and discharge disposition was observed. Conclusions: Low and moderate median household income is statistically significantly associated with discharge home among Black and female stroke survivors.

Feeling bored, seeking more? The assimilation and contrast effect of environmental monotony on variety seeking behavior

It has been widely documented that contextual factors affect variety-seeking behavior differently. Our research investigates whether environmental monotony, which refers to the extent to which one's living condition (including the physical environment and social environment) remains unchanged and lacks variety, affects actual variety-seeking behavior. Four studies, including two online investigations and two lab experiments, were conducted under the Chinese anti-COVID policies. We found that physical environmental monotony would stimulate variety-seeking behavior as a contrast effect, while social environmental monotony showed an assimilation effect, which reduces variety-seeking. We further revealed that the diverse impact of these two kinds of monotonies was due to opposite changes in the tendency of individuals to be materialistic. Contributions and future directions were also discussed.

Daily general discrimination predicts changes in trait negative affectivity: A 30-year cohort longitudinal study using a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model.

Increasing evidence indicates discrimination is an emerging risk factor for reducing psychological well-being. Negative affectivity is a personality trait that has been associated with discrimination. Yet, few studies to date have examined the longitudinal relationship between discrimination and personality. The current study addresses this gap by examining how general discrimination and negative affectivity influence each other longitudinally. The Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) dataset was used for the current study. The MIDUS sample (N = 4244) was predominately white (90.7%), 52% female, and had an average age of 46 years old. Individuals completed follow-up measures 10 and 20 years after baseline. Data were analyzed using a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model. Individuals that scored higher on trait negative affectivity also tended to score higher on perceived daily discrimination. We found general perceived discrimination at age 55 unidirectionally predicted changes in negative affectivity around retirement age, but not from age 45 to 55. In contrast, negative affectivity did not significantly predict increases in perceived discrimination at any timepoint. Our results indicate that perceived discrimination has pernicious impacts on well-being up to a decade later and may do so by increasing an individual's tendency to experience negative emotions (i.e., negative affectivity).

On Merit and Equity in Admission to US Physical Therapist Education Programs: A Qualitative Analysis of Faculty Habitus

Introduction. In contrast to the increased diversity of the US population, historically excluded racial and ethnic groups remain underrepresented in the physical therapist profession. As decision-makers, faculty exert direct influence on enrollment through evaluating applications and determining which applicants are deserving of admission to physical therapist programs. Review of Literature. Faculty decision-making in admissions is a cultural process which can reproduce inequities and perpetuate underrepresentation if faculty fail to recognize systemic disparities in legitimized forms of merit. No studies within physical therapist education have directly investigated faculty habitus and patterns of thought and behavior which reinforce admissions decision-making. The purpose of this study was to describe patterns of faculty habitus which influence judgments of admission merit and equity in US physical therapist education programs. Subjects. Sixteen physical therapy faculty across 3 physical therapist education programs. Methods. Using interpretative research methodology and a constructivist approach, semistructured interviews were conducted with each participant. Faculty social actions were also observed during field observations. Thematic analysis using Bourdieu's social reproduction theory was used for coding and establishment of themes. Results. Two predominant patterns of faculty habitus with corresponding themes emerged from the data: Transformative habitus oriented faculty toward a sense of responsibility to promote equity, construct a more contextualized understanding of merit, and formulate compelling applicant storylines; gatekeeping habitus positioned faculty to support a meritocratic process, reinforce traditional notions of academic rigor, and support the necessity of adjusting standards to address underrepresentation. Discussion and Conclusion. Findings revealed contrasting patterns of faculty habitus which legitimized certain criteria, knowledge, and experiences on which decisions of merit were based. Attention to the individual dispositions of faculty decision-makers in addition to criteria and processes used in holistic review may shape equitable access to physical therapist education programs.

Modeling the structural relationships between trauma exposure with substance use tendency, depression symptoms, and suicidal thoughts in individuals with earthquake trauma experience: the mediatory role of peritraumatic dissociation and experiential avoidance

BackgroundDespite the fact that studies indicate that earthquake trauma is associated with numerous psychological consequences, the mediating mechanisms leading to these outcomes have not been well-studied. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between trauma exposure with substance use tendency, depression, and suicidal thoughts, with the mediating role of peritraumatic dissociation and experiential avoidance.MethodsThe descriptive-correlational approach was employed in this study. The participants were people who had experienced the Kermanshah earthquake in 2017. A total of 324 people were selected by convenient sampling method. The Traumatic Exposure Severity Scale, the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire, the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, the Iranian Addiction Potential Scale, Beck’s Depression Inventory [BDI-II], and Beck’s Suicidal Thoughts Scale were used to collect data. The gathered data was analyzed‌ using structural equation modeling in ‌SPSS Ver. 24 and LISREL Ver. 24.ResultsThe study findings indicated that the intensity of the trauma exposure is directly and significantly associated with depression symptoms, peritraumatic dissociation, and experiential avoidance. The severity of exposure to trauma had a significant indirect effect on the tendency to use substances through experiential avoidance. This is while the severity of the trauma experience did not directly correlate with substance use and suicidal thoughts. In addition, peritraumatic dissociation did not act as a mediator in the relationship between the severity of trauma exposure with substance use, depression, and suicidal thoughts.ConclusionsThe severity of exposure to the earthquake was associated with symptoms of depression and these findings indicate the importance of experiential avoidance in predicting the tendency to use drugs. Hence, it is essential to design and implement psychological interventions that target experiential avoidance to prevent drug use tendencies and to establish policies that lower depression symptoms following natural disasters.

An xG of Their Own: Using Expected Goals to Explore the Analytical Shortcomings of Misapplied Gender Schemas in Football

Although professional women’s football has benefitted from recent surges in popularity, challenges to progress and distinguish the sport persist. The gender-schema theory explains the tendency for individuals to hold female sports to male standards, a phenomenon that leads to negative outcomes in areas such as media representation and consumer perception. One area in which schemas have a more discreet effect is player and team performance, where the assumption that technical metrics developed in men’s football are transferable to women’s football remains unfounded. Using expected goals, a metric synonymous with the probability of a shot being scored, we highlight how variables important to shot quality and shot execution differ across gender, and how attempts to evaluate female footballers with models built on men’s data increase estimation errors. These results have theoretical and practical implications for the role they play in reframing schemas and improving the methods used to evaluate performance in women’s sports.

Karate Sporu Yapan Kişilerin Karate Sporuna Olan İlgi Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi

This study aims to determine the participants’ level of involvement who are engaged in karate in Adana and whether this involvement differs according to the demographic variables of the people. The data were collected from karate clubs in Adana via a survey. Analyses were carried out on 268 valid surveys. According to the analysis results, the participants' involvement in karate shows significant differences according to marital status, age, how many years karate has been practised, how often karate is practised and going out of province for karate purposes. Besides, while the dimension with the highest mean of the scale of involvement in karate sport is "Attraction" (x̄=4,54), the dimension with the lowest average is "Identity Expression" (x̄=3.57). Lastly, the general average of the scale items is x̄=4,01. Based on this, it can be interpreted that the participants' interest in karate is generally high. These results highlight the positive tendencies of individuals involved in karate and underline the attractiveness and importance of the activity in their lives.

From homeless to home: issues and challenges of housing continuity in Klang Valley, Malaysia

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the issues and challenges related to housing continuity for individuals transitioning from homelessness to securing a place to live in Klang Valley, Malaysia. The aim of the study is to explore the problems and solutions in the context of housing policy, particularly as they pertain to homeless households. The study involves conducting in-depth interviews with various stakeholders involved in helping homeless households find shelter and access to public housing. Design/methodology/approach The research methodology comprises a comprehensive literature review encompassing housing affordability, affordable housing and homelessness both within Malaysia and globally to identify research gaps. One of the key questions highlighted the effectiveness of existing programs aimed at providing short-term shelter and social integration for homeless individuals. Additionally, it highlights one of the primary challenges in this process, which is the tendency of homeless individuals to return to homelessness due to various factors. The data collection uses a qualitative approach and the data are obtained through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders responsible for assisting homeless households in Klang Valley, Malaysia, encompassing federal, state and local government representatives. Purposive sampling ensures diverse stakeholder representation. Interviews are structured semi-structured to maintain consistency while allowing for open-ended discussions on challenges and successes in facilitating homeless individuals' transition to stable housing. Thematic analysis of transcribed interview data focuses on recurring themes related to housing continuity, affordability and homeless households' behavioural patterns. Findings There are five (n = 5) stakeholders consist of local government (Code: R1), ministries (Code: R2; R5) and government agencies (Code: R3; R4). The study revealed that various programs have been implemented to provide short-term shelter and facilitate the integration of homeless individuals into society. Nevertheless, a significant challenge identified was the recurring tendency of homeless households to return to homelessness. This “behavioural direction” was found to be influenced by multiple factors which includes mental health and attitude problem. The findings emphasise the need for collaborative efforts among all stakeholders to address the issues and challenges related to housing continuity in Klang Valley. Originality/value The originality of this research lies in its focus on the specific and under-researched context of Klang Valley, Malaysia, regarding the critical issues of housing affordability and the challenges of housing continuity for homeless households. While housing affordability and affordable housing are widely recognised as global housing policy concerns, this study delves into a localised setting where limited attention has been given to understanding the transitions of homeless individuals to stable housing. The findings provide unique insights into the efforts and challenges faced in Klang Valley, shedding light on the behavioural patterns and factors contributing to recurring homelessness. This paper offers a context-specific perspective that contributes to the broader understanding of housing continuity issues.

The prevalence of impostor phenomenon and its association with burnout amongst urologists.

To characterise the prevalence of impostor phenomenon (IP; tendency for high-achieving individuals to perceive themselves as fraudulent in their successes) amongst attending staff in urology, to identify variables that predict more severe impostorism, and to study the association of IP with burnout. A survey composed of the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), demographic information, practice details, and burnout levels was e-mailed to urologists via urological subspecialty societies. Survey results were analysed to identify associations between IP severity, survey respondent characteristics, and symptoms of professional burnout. This study was conducted in the United States of America. A total of 614 survey responses were received (response rate 11.0%). In all, 40% (n = 213) of responders reported CIPS scores qualifying as either 'frequent' or 'intense' impostorism (i.e., scores of 61-100). On multivariable analysis, female gender, fewer years in practice (i.e., 0-2 years), and lower academic rank were all independently associated with higher CIPS scores (adjusted P < 0.05). Regarding burnout, 46% of responders reported burnout symptoms. On multivariable analysis, increase in CIPS score was independently associated with higher odds of burnout (odds ratio 1.06, 95% confidence interval 1.04-1.07; P < 0.001). Impostor phenomenon is prevalent in the urological community and is experienced more severely in younger and female urologists. IP is also independently associated with burnout. Increased female representation may improve IP amongst our female colleagues. More work is needed to determine strategies that are effective in mitigating feelings of IP and professional burnout amongst urologists, particularly those earlier in their careers.

Interoception, somatic symptoms, and somatization tendency in Chinese individuals with subsyndromal depression: A follow-up study.

Interoception refers to the sensation and perception of internal bodily sensations, and may be related to depressive symptoms. Schemata concerning the body vary across different cultures and may influence interoception and symptom presentations of depression. This study explored the relationship between interoception, depressive symptoms, and schema of somatic focus in Chinese people with subsyndromal depression. Thirty-nine individuals with subsyndromal depression (SD) and 40 healthy controls (HCs) were assessed at baseline and after 3 months. Participants completed the self-report questionnaires for assessing interoceptive sensibility, somatic and psychological symptoms of depression, and somatization tendency. They also completed the heartbeat perception behavioral task for estimating interoceptive accuracy. The results showed that both the SD and the HC groups showed similar interoceptive accuracy, although the SD group showed heightened interoceptive sensibility. The discrepancy between interoceptive sensibility and interoceptive accuracy is termed the interoceptive trait prediction error (ITPE). The ITPE was positive in SD participants but was negative in HCs. In the entire sample, interoceptive sensibility and the ITPE were correlated with somatic symptoms rather than with psychological symptoms of depression. Interoceptive sensibility partially mediated the relationship between somatization tendency and somatic symptoms, after controlling for psychological symptoms of depression. These results remained stable after 3 months. The shortcomings of the present study were a lack of clinical interview to ascertain diagnosis and a short follow-up duration. In conclusion, our study suggests that altered interoception occurs in subsyndromal depression. Interoception is related to somatic symptoms of depression. The schema of body was related to depressive symptoms, partially through interoception, in Chinese people with subsyndromal depression.

Investigation Of The Relationship Between Orthorexia Tendencies And Nutritional Status Of Individuals In The Covid-19 Pandemic

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the orthorexia tendencies of individuals and especially the nutritional status of orthorexic people in the Covid 19 pandemic.&#x0D; Methods: 1129 people participated in the study conducted through Google Forms in June 2020, 297 people were excluded due to being under the age of 18, filling in the form and/or scale incompletely/incorrectly, and 832 participants were included in the study. The ORTO-11 Test and the developed questionnaire were used to collect the data. The variables of the research are the participants' gender, body weight, nutritional status, orthorexic tendencies, exercise status, occupation and social media use. The data of the study were evaluated using the SPSS program.&#x0D; Results: The risk of orthorexia was found to be higher in Instagram users, dietitians, and those who did not exercise during the pandemic. There was no statistically significant difference between body weight before and during the pandemic. Increase in consumption of meat and meat products, legumes; decrease in consumption of bread, rice, pasta, sugary drinks and sweets was mostly in orthorexic individuals. Considering all participants, highest consumption increase in vegetables and fruits, sweets, nuts, tea and coffee; consumption decreased mostly in bread, rice, pasta, sugary drinks and chips. &#x0D; Conclusion: Despite the studies that found an increase in body weight in the pandemic, no significant change was found in body weight according to the results of this study. In addition, it was observed that the participants, especially orthorexic individuals, preferred healthier foods during the pandemic.

Analisis Fundamental, Dividen, dan Overconfidence: Sebuah Pengambilan Keputusan Investasi Saham

The COVID-19 pandemic that has occurred since December 2019 resulted the decline in stock prices, including the IDX. Fundamental Analysis (FA) describes the condition of a company in terms of profits generated by the company. Dividends (DVD) are profit sharing given to shareholders based on the number of shares owned. Overconfidence (OCF) can lead to individual behavioral tendencies to believe more in the knowledge they have. this research aims to analyze the effect of FA, DCD, and OCF on Investment Decisions Making (IDM). The results show that DVD and OVC affect IDM, but FA has no effect on IDM.

Is there an affective neuroscience of spirituality? The development and validation of the OCEANic feelings scale.

Oceanic feelings represent a phenomenological structure of affective sensations that characteristically involve feelings of self-dissolution and feelings of unity and transcendence. This study presents the preliminary version of a self-report instrument to measure individual dispositions toward oceanic feelings in order to enable further research within the concept of primary emotions postulated by Jaak Panksepp. A first version of the questionnaire was applied to a total sample of 926 German-speaking adults of the general population. After performing item analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) in a first study (N = 300), the questionnaire was shortened. In a second study (N = 626), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted and emerged scales were related to the already established instruments for the assessment of primary emotions (BANPS-GL) and Big Five personality traits (BFI-44). The OCEANic scale exhibited reliabilities ranging from Cronbach's α = 0.82 (positive) to α = 0.88 (negative) and plausible correlations with behavioral traits related to the seven affective neurobiological systems (ANGER, FEAR, CARE, SEEK, PLAY, SADNESS, and LUST) as well as with personality factors measured by the Big Five Inventory. For CFA, a bifactorial model with an overall factor demonstrated good fit: RMSEA = 0.00 (90% CI:0.00, 0.03); TLI = 1.00; CFI = 1.00; NFI = 0.99. The OCEANic scale enables the operationalization of oceanic feelings comprising two subscales and one total scale. The results indicate good reliability and acceptable factorial validity. Establishment and further validation of the OCEANic scale within future research will be needed to fully understand the role of oceanic feelings within the human affective life, especially the personality trait of spirituality.

Negative brand news, social media, and the propensity to doomscrolling: measuring and validating a new scale

Negative media coverage can have a significant impact on businesses and society. For instance, depressing news about the unethical features or harmful effects of a product or a service (e.g., Maggi’s lead issue) can significantly impact their brand image among consumers. We focused on studying whether consumers have a tendency to consume such negative news through online platforms. While there exists a considerable amount of empirical research and industry reports illustrating the implications of such news on businesses; interestingly, the consumer perspective on the same is rarely studied. In the current study, the authors have developed and validated the psychometric properties of “Propensity to Doomscrolling” (PTD), which is an individual tendency to surf/scroll through large amounts of painful, disheartening and sad news on the Internet. We started our scale with 12 items developed from qualitative interviews and existing literature on doomscrolling and compulsive negative news consumption. The final PTD scale consists of two subdimensions: perceived survival threat and fear of death, which can be measured through a seven-item scale proposed and initially tested in this study.

Neural Models for Generating Natural Language Summaries from Temporal Personal Health Data.

With an increased interest in the production of personal health technologies designed to track user data (e.g., nutrient intake, step counts), there is now more opportunity than ever to surface meaningful behavioral insights to everyday users in the form of natural language. This knowledge can increase their behavioral awareness and allow them to take action to meet their health goals. It can also bridge the gap between the vast collection of personal health data and the summary generation required to describe an individual's behavioral tendencies. Previous work has focused on rule-based time-series data summarization methods designed to generate natural language summaries of interesting patterns found within temporal personal health data. We examine recurrent, convolutional, and Transformer-based encoder-decoder models to automatically generate natural language summaries from numeric temporal personal health data. We showcase the effectiveness of our models on real user health data logged in MyFitnessPal(Weber and Achananuparp 2016) and show that we can automatically generate high-quality natural language summaries. Our work serves as a first step towards the ambitious goal of automatically generating novel and meaningful temporal summaries from personal health data.
