The Impact of Status Quo Bias on Investment Decisions

Different environments can create different biases in the current situation, such as people from different countries having different stereotypes about the same thing, which can also affect investment. This paper takes stocks investment as an example to explore the impact of current situation bias on investment decisions. This papers goal is to demonstrate through different experiments how status quo bias arises from both subjective and objective factors, and how it affects investment. This paper analyzes two experiments to demonstrate how investment decisions are specifically influenced. The first is to use the manifestation of stocks themselves to generate status quo bias, and the second is caused by people's objective factors. The second is to address the differences between investments by analyzing the problems faced by different individuals. This paper also provides a solution to the problem, starting from the stock itself, by reducing the learning cost and difficulty of investing in stocks to help people better invest.

Traveling Across Time Zones With Type 1 Diabetes: A Pilot Study Comparing Insulin Degludec With Insulin Glargine U100.

For people with type 1 diabetes, there are limited evidence-based resources to support self-management when traveling across multiple time zones. Here, we compared glycemic control on insulin degludec versus glargine U100 as the basal insulin for adults using multiple daily injections (MDI) while traveling across multiple time zones. This randomized crossover pilot study compared insulin degludec versus glargine U100 for adults with type 1 diabetes using MDI insulin during long-haul travel to and from Hawaii to New York. Insulin degludec was administered daily at the same time regardless of time zone, and glargine was administered per travel algorithm. Primary end point was the percentage of time in range (TIR) between 70 and 140 mg/dL during the initial 24 h after each direction of travel. Secondary end points included standard continuous glucose monitoring metrics, jet lag, fatigue, and sleep. The study enrolled 25 participants (56% women, mean ± SD age of 35 ± 14.5 years, HbA1c of 7.4 ± 1.2% [57 ± 13.1 mmol/mol], and diabetes duration of 20.6 ± 15 years). There was no significant difference in glycemic outcomes between the two arms of the study, including TIR, hypoglycemia, or hyperglycemia. Neither group achieved >70% TIR 70-180 mg/dL during travel. Jet lag was greater on glargine U100 in eastward travel but not westward. Fatigue was greater after westward travel on glargine. Sleep was not significantly different between basal insulins. In adults with type 1 diabetes using MDI of insulin and traveling across multiple time zones, glycemic outcomes were similar comparing insulin degludec and glargine U100.

YOLO Algorithm for Detecting People in Social Distancing System

Social distancing is an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Several systems for monitoring social distancing have been developed. People detection is an essential step in implementing a social distancing system. Failure to detect people causes the social distancing system to be inaccurate. Two people who communicate cannot occur violations of social distancing because one person is not detected. Therefore, we propose a precise person detection method for the social distancing system. The proposed social distancing system uses the YOLOv3 method for people detection and Euclidean Distance for measuring the distance of social distancing. YOLOv3 can detect people's objects precisely, even people who are caught small by the camera. Experiments on two outdoor video datasets result in an F1 value of more than 0.8. This proposed system can serve as a reference for future social distancing research.

Automatic Image Self-Enhancement for Multi-Scale Spectral on Low Resolution Video

MSR technique is a process used to reduce the search area in an image. MSR relies heavily on image salience from image capture devices. The purpose of this study is to improve the detection of people's objects on video by increasing the quality of the image frames on video and MSR. This research uses artificial video taken in a room installed by CCTV. Object detection is evaluated using precision, recall, and fscore values. The results showed an increase in the quality of the performance of object detection that was properly detected as a person. The average detection performance is indicated by an fscore of 14.47%. Increasing the quantity of detection of objects of people reached 168.8% compared to the detection of only using MSR

A computational biomarker of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy from resting-state MEG

ObjectiveFor people with idiopathic generalized epilepsy, functional networks derived from their resting-state scalp electrophysiological recordings have shown an inherent higher propensity to generate seizures than those from healthy controls when assessed using the concept of brain network ictogenicity (BNI). Herein we tested whether the BNI framework is applicable to resting-state magnetoencephalography (MEG) from people with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). MethodsThe BNI framework consists in deriving a functional network from apparently normal brain activity, placing a mathematical model of ictogenicity into the network and then computing how often such network generates seizures in silico. We considered data from 26 people with JME and 26 healthy controls. ResultsWe found that resting-state MEG functional networks from people with JME are characterized by a higher propensity to generate seizures (i.e., higher BNI) than those from healthy controls. We found a classification accuracy of 73%. ConclusionsThe BNI framework is applicable to MEG and was capable of differentiating people with epilepsy from healthy controls. SignificanceThe BNI framework may be applied to resting-state MEG to aid in epilepsy diagnosis.

Towards health equity for people experiencing chronic pain and social marginalization

ObjectiveFor people who experience social inequities and structural violence, pain and related care are inexorably linked to experiences of injustice and stigma. The purpose of this study was to examine in greater depth the experiences of pain and discrimination and stigma across diverse marginalized communities in order to recommend equity-oriented healthcare approaches.MethodsThis community-based qualitative study reports on four focus groups that included 36 people living with pain. All participants identified with one of three groups known to experience high levels of inequities and structural violence including an Indigenous group, a LGBTQ2S group, and two newcomer and refugee groups.ResultsPain was entangled with and shaped by: social locations and identities, experiences of violence, trauma and related mental health issues, experiences of discrimination, stigma and dismissal, experiences of inadequate and ineffective health care, and the impacts of these intersecting experiences.ConclusionsEquity-oriented responses to chronic pain would recognize pain not only as a biomedical issue but as a social justice issue. The EQUIP Framework is an approach to integrating trauma- and violence-informed care; culturally-safe care; and harm reduction in health care that may hold promise for being tailored to people experiencing pain and social marginalization.

The role of risk perception and affect in predicting support for conservation policy under rapid ecosystem change.

Conservation conflicts are damaging for humans and wildlife, with differences in people's objectives fuelling challenges of managing complex, dynamic systems. We investigate the relative importance of economic, psychological (affect, trust and risk perception) and ecological factors in determining farmers' management preferences, using Greenland barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) on Islay, Scotland, as a case study. Barnacle geese reduce agricultural productivity on Islay, negatively impacting household economies. Since 1992, farmers have received partial compensation but a new culling scheme has escalated conflict between conservation and agricultural interests. Using a questionnaire, we collected data from 75% of the farmers receiving goose payments. We found that affect was a strong driver of both risk perception and management preferences. However, we revealed complexity in these relationships, with trust and economic factors also influencing decision-making. Psychological and economic factors surrounding wildlife management must be understood if we are to achieve conservation objectives in human dominated landscapes.

How Can Autonomy Be Maintained and Informal Care Improved for People With Dementia Living in Residential Care Facilities: A Systematic Literature Review.

Background and ObjectivesFor people with dementia living in residential care facilities, maintaining autonomy and receiving informal care are important. The objective of this review is to understand how caregiving approaches and physical environment, including technologies contribute to the maintenance of autonomy and informal care provision for this population.Research Design and MethodsA literature review of peer-reviewed articles published between January 1995 and July 2017 was performed. Realist logic of analysis was used, involving context, mechanism and outcome configurations.ResultsForty-nine articles were included. The improvement of the relationship between residents and formal/informal caregivers is important. This increases the knowledge (sharing) about the resident and contributes to their autonomy. A social, flexible, and welcoming attitude of the formal caregiver improves the provision of informal care. Specially designed spaces, for instance, therapeutic gardens, create activities for residents that remind them of themselves and contribute to their autonomy. Use of technologies reduces caregiver’s time for primary tasks and therefore enables secondary tasks such as interaction with the residents.Discussion and ImplicationsThe results revealed how residential care facilities could maintain autonomy of their residents and improve informal care delivery using caregiving approaches and the physical environment including technologies. The results are supporting toward each other in maintaining autonomy and also helped in enhancing informal care provision. For residential care facilities that want to maintain the autonomy of their residents and improve informal care delivery, it is important to pay attention to all aspects of living in a residential care facility.

Audio-visual perception of new wind parks

Previous studies have reported negative impacts of wind parks on the public. These studies considered the noise levels or visual levels separately but not audio-visual interactive factors. This study investigated the audio-visual impact of a new wind park using virtual technology that combined audio and visual features of the environment. Participants were immersed through Google Cardboard in an actual landscape without wind parks (ante operam) and in the same landscape with wind parks (post operam). During the virtual exposure, the reactions of the participants to visual and noise impacts of the wind park were assessed using affective, cognitive, and subjective measures. Participants exhibited significant increases in aural annoyance post operam relative to ante operam. The same result was found in levels of visual annoyance. Aural annoyance and visual annoyance were significantly correlated. However, no direct effects of wind turbines on affective and cognitive measures were found, suggesting wind parks may not have obviously effects on people's objective disturbance. The perceived annoyance was associated with people's attitudes toward the wind parks, but not the sounds of the wind parks. These findings further our understanding of the objective and subjective effects of wind parks on human performance, and allow designers to make scientific decisions during the initial stage of a wind park planning.

Studies of thermal comfort and space use in an urban park square in cool and cold seasons in Shanghai

Outdoor open space is important to cities and can provide benefits for healthy urban living. Among the many factors that affect space quality and space use, thermal comfort has drawn increasing attention from both climatologists and planners. Previous studies mostly focus on hot seasons when the primary concern is to avoid solar exposure and mitigate heat stress. In Shanghai, because of the high indoor humidity, people prefer to go outdoors and enjoy more sunshine in autumn and winter. This paper presents a thermal comfort survey in one urban park in Shanghai from November to January to investigate the role thermal comfort plays in affecting people's evaluation of the outdoor space and activity. Meteorological measurements, questionnaire surveys and unobtrusive observations were carried out. Computer simulations were conducted to evaluate the micro-meteorological conditions. The physiological equivalent temperature (PET) was used to evaluate people's objective thermal comfort level based on micro-meteorological conditions. It is found that visitors' overall comfort was largely affected by their subjective thermal sensation vote (TSV). In winter TSV showed the strongest positive relationship with air temperature and solar radiation, which are also the two most important factors that affect visitors' space use. The study reveals that the neutral PET in Shanghai in winter is around 15–29 °C. It was also found that duration of stay and length of residence in Shanghai affected visitors' thermal adaptation. This study can provide understandings of people's outdoor thermal comfort in autumn and winter in Shanghai and help promote outdoor space use.

Needs/Wants Dichotomy and Regime Responsiveness

ABSTRACTOne of the central claims of democratic theory is that the institutional features of democracy systematically cause government to respond to the people's needs. In fact, however, democracy might logically be expected to be especially responsive only to the people's desires, not their needs. Responses to people's objective needs can be substantially different from responses to their subjective desires. Democratic institutions therefore cannot guarantee (and may even hamper) responsiveness to basic human needs. Democracy, should, at least in principle, thus be confined to the sphere of wants rather than needs.

The Importance of Water Clarity to Great Barrier Reef Tourists and Their Willingness to Pay to Improve it

Using the Great Barrier Reef as a case study area, the authors investigate visitors' willingness to pay (WTP) to improve water clarity (WC). They also explore the extent to which people's objective and subjective measures of WC influence WTP. The results suggest that people's stated perceptions (importance and satisfaction) and the interaction between them have a significant influence on WTP. Those for whom WC was very important and who were very satisfied with WC were willing to pay more to preserve it. The importance variable interacts with subjective perceptions that drive behaviour. Thus one needs to consider not only satisfaction, but also the importance of the environment rather than using only subjective (or objective) measures when trying to explain behaviour. Further deterioration in WC could adversely affect the tourism industry and the average visitor would be willing to pay up to A$14.5 per visit to help improve it (although this amount varies for different visitors).

Research on constructing composite index of objective well-being from China mainland

This paper presents some results of the study employing the Quality of Life (QOL) index that was initiated in China during 1980s. Currently, some progress has been made in the research field. For one thing, many researchers defined QOL as a composite structure which included subjective and objective elements. Considerable summary of well-being indices has been constructed from different analysis units (e.g., cities, province, and nations). For another, statistical methods played an important part in determining the weights of these indices, either objective weighting or subjective weighting. This paper defines the concept of QOL as the quality of people's being, which is used in analyzing the well-being of people' living condition and also reflected their subjective well-being to the living condition. Based on this concept, an analytical system of Chinese people's well-being was elaborated. 115 indices from five aspects reflecting the characteristics of the Chinese people's objective well-being have been initially proposed. Economic well-being, health and basic survival well-being, social well-being, cultural well-being, political well-being and environmental well-being have been taken into consideration. Through the analysis of content validity of experts and correlation analysis, 58 indices were selected. The weights of the subjective and objective indices were determined through analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and principal component method respectively. By combining the weight coefficients obtained from the two approaches, the composite indicator of Chinese people’s objective well-being was performed and the objective well-being level of 30 Chinese provinces was evaluated.

FORESIGHT IN THE EGYPTIAN ROUTE TOWARDS DEMOCRACY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE AFTER THE JANUARY 25TH REVOLUTION

Economists, sociologists, and politicians thought that era of the dark ages and political theology that declined in popularity in West since 16th century would not be repeated. They thought that amount of corruption, and deterioration of economic and social conditions that occurred in that era, taught everyone not to link political questions with values ones. In light of Arab spring revolution; as they try to shift from an authoritarian to democratic regimes, Egypt today has proven them completely wrong. The paper's target is to answer following questions; will revolution carry a redistributive political action and fulfil people's objectives or will it end with depressing effects on growth which hinder country's development process? Why are some countries able to formulate democratic regime, and achieve economic development and growth while others' attempts have been futile? What are vital political settings for these calls to attain a progressive development and growth path? The paper will explore lessons that can be adopted from South Korea's move to democracy in late 1970s and try to implement these lessons in countries that search for democratic processes. Finally paper concludes with analysis that having a democratic system does not always grantee a boost to economic growth, but good governance does.

A Triumphant Global Crusade of Contemporary Era: The Impact of the English Language on Education

Contemporary humankind is witnessing the spread and impact of the English language on the global educational space. Such an influx is occurring irrespective of people's objective or subjective will. English has become a vital means for accessing and acquiring information and knowledge about the world. It promotes the reformation of language policies in a considerable number of non-English-speaking countries, and it facilitates the international exchange of students, teachers, and faculty. The current epoch is prompting us to take a cross-cultural look at the phenomenon of the English language and how it elicits the reorganizations of educational matters on both sides of the Gulf Stream. It is exactly what I seek to examine and analyze in this study.

Collective Work

The idea behind collective work is that we're all attempting to perform individual tasks, and the ways in which we accomplish our objectives interact. Sometimes this is because we're all part of a larger project, and sometimes it's just because what we do can affect other people's plans if they know about what we've done. Sometimes, what we're attempting to do generates conflict with other people's objectives, and other times it generates opportunities. It would be great if we knew of these conflicts and opportunities - and if the Internet could tell us.

Empiricism, ethics and orthodox economic theory: what is the appropriate basis for decision-making in the health sector?

Economics is commonly defined in terms of the relationship between people's unlimited wants and society's scarce resources. The definition implies a central role for an understanding of what people want, i.e. their objectives. This, in turn, suggests an important role for both empirical research into people's objectives and debate about the acceptability of the objectives. In contrast with this expectation, economics has avoided these issues by the adoption of an orthodoxy that imposes objectives. However evidence suggests, at least in the health sector, that people do not have the simple objectives assumed by economic theory. Amartya Sen has advocated a shift from a focus on “utility” to a focus on “capabilities” and “functionings” as a way of overcoming the shortcomings of welfarism. However, the practicality of Sen's account is threatened by the range of possible “functionings”, by the lack of guidance about how they should be weighted, and by suspicions that they do not capture the full range of objectives people appear to value. We argue that “empirical ethics”, an emerging approach in the health sector, provides important lessons on overcoming these problems. Moreover, it is an ethically defensible methodology, and yields practical results that can assist policy makers in the allocation of resources.
