Sound to expression: Using emotional sound to guide facial expression editing

Recently, image generation technology has demonstrated surprising effects. However, precisely recognizing the emotion in sound to accurately express it on the face of a designated person is a huge challenge. To address this challenge, a new framework, Sound to Expression (S2E), which can use the emotion in sound to guide facial expression image generation, is proposed. A speech dataset for emotion recognition is constructed. S2E can edit facial expressions with different emotions in sounds for different people. S2E consists of Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), YOLOv3, ChatGPT-3, and facial expression diffusion editing model (FEDEM). CWT is utilized to extract emotional features from different sounds. YOLOv3 is employed to identify the emotion categories. The emotion category and a specific person's name are input into ChatGPT-3 to randomly generate a description of the person and emotion. The description is input into FEDEM to generate a facial expression image. To generate more accurate images and address emotional semantic deviation, a new facial detail emotional preservation loss is proposed. The experimental results show that S2E can accurately recognize the emotion in the voice and use this emotion to guide the editing of the facial expression for the specified person to generate more accurate images.

『대학』의 8조목과 팔선녀 관계에 대한 연구

This thesis seeks to examine how the characters in ‘Guunmong’ such as the main character, who is both Sung-Jin and So-Yu and his counterpart, who are both the 8 celestial women and the 8 wives in the current life, form a relationship with the 8 articles, and how they may be compared and symbolized in terms of literature. In other words, the thesis aims to analyze how the 8 articles of ‘Daehak’ can be interpreted through their substitution as the 8 celestial women.
 The author views that ‘Guunmong’ symbolically illustrates the 8 articles of ‘Daehak’ through the chain of process of Yang, So-Yu and the 8 celestial women forging a relationship. Through this, the author seeks to examine how the study of Confucian classics and literature study were substituted through comparison and symbolism and had the role of a detailed report. and whether they can be interpreted abundantly.
 Kim, Man-jung is a typical Confucian scholar who grew up in a Confucian family environment. In the East, literature and thought are complementary or integral relations rather than individual relationships. Since this is the case, this kind of idea could be expressed by whatever means in his novel ‘Guunmong’.
 If we were to look from this sort of meaning, the 8 people are chosen and intended as the 8 people by Kim, Man-Jung as the 8 articles, and the 8 articles that he sought to express are projected onto the specific individual personality. This thesis sees that this is intentionally expressed as the symbols of the 8 articles of ‘Daehak’ and attempts to trace and analyze this theory.
 Most likely, there must be a message for the Confucian scholar Kim, Man-jung, who has been equipped with the knowledge of Confucian classics, to convey through ‘Guunmong’ which is the work of literature that illustrated three religions, which are Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. In this way, by comparing the 8 celestial women of ‘Guunmong’ with the 8 articles of ‘Daehak’, I hope to propose a new research direction about ‘Guunmong’ and Kim, Man-jung, and the combining of Kim, Man-jung’s literature and Confucian classics.

Analisis risiko produksi ribbed smoked sheet (RSS) di PTPN IX Kebun Balong, Jepara

Indonesian rubber plantations have the largest area in the world at 3,776.49 thousand hectares, yet they cannot be the largest producer of natural rubber. PTPN IX Balong is a state-owned company that processes latex into RSS. The production often experiences fluctuations which indicate the production risks faced by the company. The study aimed to examine the agents of production risk that are considered priorities, as well as effective mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of production risk. The research was conducted from November to December 2022 at PTPN IX Balong, Bumiharjo Village, Keling District, Jepara Regency. The research was a case study method with primary data collected by observation and distributing questionnaires to specific key persons. The secondary data were obtained from RSS production records. Data were analyzed using a quantitative method, namely House of Risk (HOR), to answer research purposes. The results showed that there are 8 priority risk agents that will be mitigated, namely high rainfall, long-tapping and picking-up times, errors made by the officers of the smoke room, broken grinding machine, dirty post-harvest tools, improper latex dilution, an excess dosage of antacid, and late application of ammonia. The mitigation strategy used to minimize the priority risk agent (source) consists of 7 risk mitigation strategies. Tightening inspections at the factory is the top priority to be implemented.

SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA. PART II - IDENTITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY

The technical progress that is presently taking place makes man not only a living organism in theworld of nature, but also an avatar in the form of a package of bits in the virtual ICT space, whichis created as a result and based on his activity on the Internet. This state of affairs means that thecommonly known and used methods of identifying environmental data of natural persons havebeen extended by technologically advanced methods of marking the environmental identity ofnatural persons on the basis of annotated data attributed to them. However, identification is notlimited to living natural persons, but is also required in certain situations to establish the identityof deceased individuals. The processing of data of deceased persons is not subject to rules set out inRegulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on theprotection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movementof such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (commonly referred to as: GDPR). Such data aredata about an individual. Despite the fact that in terms of content, data concerning a given personare at least identical to the personal data of a specific person during his or her lifetime, in the legalcontext their processing is carried out on the basis of provisions of other laws and regulations. Thisarticle complements the diptych bearing the common title Security of personal data, divided into2 parts: Part I – Identity specifics in the 21st century and Part II – Identification in the 21st century.

Mapping Personality Traits and Gender-Based Stereotypes on Perceived Negotiation Skills

Implementing effective dispute resolution strategies such as negotiation has proved to be quite effective whenever there is a divergence of interest between two conflicting groups. This study aims to see if gender-based stereotypes or specific personality traits can positively or negatively influence negotiation skills in an attempt to improve the negotiation process, whereby individuals could be trained to adopt specific behaviors to obtain more favorable negotiation results. Using the expectancy violation theory (EVT) to analyze how individuals respond to unanticipated violations of social norms and expectations whilst negotiating, a quantitative study was carried out among legal officers working in private, public, and parastatal organizations in Mauritius. The sample size, 270, was calculated based on a population size of 899 as per records of the Mauritius Bar Council. The results demonstrate most legal officers were equipped with good negotiation skills, with no significant difference between males and females (U = 1138.50, p > 0.05), while a high level of neuroticism was indicative of poor negotiation skills (τb = −0.167, p > 0.05). These findings demonstrate that participants agreed that their negotiation skills were influenced in gender-dominated meetings which align with the principles of the EVT, the violation of certain expected negotiation behavior based on gender impact negotiation outcomes. Since negotiation skills were significantly associated with negotiation outcomes (χ2(4) = 37.963, p < 0.05), this provides pointers to businesses on how to improve and optimize negotiation outcomes by choosing a negotiator with the most apt personality traits.

Подозреваемый, обвиняемый — возможно ли поставить знак равенства в современном досудебном производстве?

The relevance of the study of the procedural position of a person subject to criminal prosecution by pre-trial investigation authorities is caused by the fact that in accordance with Ruling of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 11-П of June 27, 2000, on the Verification of the Constitutional Nature of the Provisions of Part 1 Article 47 and Part 2 Article 51 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the RSFSR and in View of the Complaint Filed by Mr. V.I. Maslov, the start of such investigation is related to carrying out investigative and other procedural actions against a specific person upon the receipt of a crime report or notice by the law enforcement authority. Even if such person has not obtained the suspect status yet. However, such person obtains the legal status of a convict upon lodging of charges, which often takes place only upon termination of criminal case investigation in the form of pre-trial proceedings, or upon preparation of the final procedural document (letter of accusation, bill of indictment) by an interrogator if cases are investigated in the interrogation form and the summary interrogation form with some exceptions. The criminal procedure theory is now lacking a consolidated position with regard to the suspect/convict correlation. Along with the traditional approach towards the evaluation of arraignment as a guarantee of rights, freedoms and legal interests of a person subject to criminal prosecution, the position that the institution of arraignment has long lost its initial function and is almost the same as the suspect institution and thus requires a fundamental review has started to gain more and more supporters.

A Generative Approach to Person Reidentification.

Person Re-identification is the task of recognizing comparable subjects across a network of nonoverlapping cameras. This is typically achieved by extracting from the source image a vector of characteristic features of the specific person captured by the camera. Learning a good set of robust, invariant and discriminative features is a complex task, often leveraging contrastive learning. In this article, we explore a different approach, learning the representation of an individual as the conditioning information required to generate images of the specific person starting from random noise. In this way we decouple the identity of the individual from any other information relative to a specific instance (pose, background, etc.), allowing interesting transformations from one identity to another. As generative models, we use the recent diffusion models that have already proven their sensibility to conditioning in many different contexts. The results presented in this article serve as a proof-of-concept. While our current performance on common benchmarks is lower than state-of-the-art techniques, the approach is intriguing and rich of innovative insights, suggesting a wide range of potential improvements along various lines of investigation.

Violence on Reddit Support Forums Unique to r/NoFap

ABSTRACT Masturbation abstinence practices have returned to the USA in the form of semen retention communities. Followers on one of these male, anti-masturbation forums, “NoFap,” on Reddit (denoted “r/NoFap”), have engaged in homicidal behaviors that appear to be linked to these sexual beliefs and practices. This study uses a systematic search on r/NoFap and two control forums (r/pornfree, and r/stopdrinking) to define a corpus of violent content. The study's goals were to describe the nature of threats on r/NoFap and suggest whether the violence might be attributable to sexual deprivation or false beliefs that non-sexual targets caused their violent urges. Of the 421 violent posts identified from September 2011 to September 2022, r/NoFap contained the majority (94.3%). Violent threats on r/NoFap mostly targeted pornographers, women, scientists, specific persons, or any person (i.e. homicidal “rage”). Violent threats against r/NoFap’s own followers were growing most quickly. Violent posts were well-supported with upvotes by other followers in r/NoFap. These data are important because NoFap may represent a growing threat for real-world violence.

Personality traits and their influence on Echo chamber formation in social media: a comparative study of Twitter and Weibo.

The echo chamber effect on social media has attracted attention due to its potentially disruptive consequences on society. This study presents a framework to evaluate the impact of personality traits on the formation of echo chambers. Using Weibo and Twitter as platforms, we first define an echo chamber as a network where users interact solely with those sharing their opinions, and quantify echo chamber effects through selective exposure and homophily. We then employ an unsupervised personality recognition method to assign a personality model to each user, and compare the distribution differences of echo chambers and personality traits across platforms and topics. Our findings show that, although user personality trait models exhibit similar distributions between topics, differences exist between platforms. Among 243 personality model combinations, over 20% of Weibo echo chamber members are "ynynn" models, while over 15% of Twitter echo chamber members are "nnnny" models. This indicates significant differences in personality traits among echo chamber members between platforms. Specific personality traits attract like-minded individuals to engage in discussions on particular topics, ultimately forming homogeneous communities. These insights are valuable for developing targeted management strategies to prevent the spread of fake news or rumors.

Personality and burnout complaints: The mediating role of proactive burnout prevention behaviors at work.

The aim of this study is to gain insight into how and why certain personality traits are related to experiencing burnout complaints. Drawing on insights from a stimulus-organism-response (SOR) model of personality and affect and conservation of resources (COR) theory, we specifically focus on the role of five proactive behaviors to prevent burnout (PBPBs) at work. Two research questions are addressed: (1) How are the HEXACO personality traits related to burnout complaints, and (2) to what extent do the PBPBs aimed at increasing resources act as mediators between the engagement dimensions of personality and burnout complaints. We set up a two-wave survey examining HEXACO personality, PBPBs at work, and burnout complaints in a sample of 172 employees. For our analyses we relied on multiple regression analyses and structural equation modeling. Our analyses revealed that employees high on Extraversion and Conscientiousness and low on Emotionality are less inclined to experience burnout complaints. For the trait of Conscientiousness, this could be partly explained because conscientious employees demonstrate more proactive behavior aimed at maintaining or increasing job control. Our research contributes to the burnout and personality literature as we offer insight into why specific personality dimensions are related to burnout complaints. Specific proactive behaviors aimed at increasing job resources appeared to play a small, yet relevant role in this respect, specifically for Conscientiousness. By studying the relationship between personality and behavior in association with burnout complaints, this study adds to our understanding of personalized preventive actions in the work context that can reduce burnout complaints.

How to be the Best Influencer: The Impact of Personality, Audience Perceptions, and Narcissism on Social Media Influencing

Social media influencing has grown into a lucrative career for people worldwide. But which factors are essential to optimize your social media growth online? This paper reviews how specific personality characteristics, audience perceptions, and narcissism play a role in the success of social media influencers and how to utilize social media to create success in social media influencing.

Distinguishing four types of Person × Situation interactions: An integrative framework and empirical examination.

People differ in their reaction to situations, resulting in Person × Situation interactions. These interactions have been emphasized by many theoretical accounts of personality. Nevertheless, empirical progress on Person × Situation interactions has been slow. This is in part attributable to an insufficient distinction of person and situation variables and of different types of interaction effects. We propose a framework distinguishing four nested types of interaction effects varying in specificity: (a) P × S: broad Person × Situation interaction variance, (b) P × Sspec: between-person differences in situation variable-outcome associations, (c) Pspec × S: between-situation differences in person variable-outcome associations, and (d) Pspec × Sspec: specific Person Variable × Situation Variable interactions. We conducted two large online studies (N = 622 and N = 818) with standardized situation stimuli (N = 62 pictures and N = 62 first-person perspective videos) and assessed Big Five traits, DIAMONDS situation characteristics, and Big Five states. Using preregistered multilevel models, we systematically quantified the different interaction types. We found (a) large Person × Situation interaction variance in personality states, (b) sizable individual differences in situation characteristic-state contingencies, (c) consistent but smaller between-situation differences in trait-state associations, and (d) some significant but (very) small Personality Trait × Situation Characteristic interactions. Our findings highlight Person × Situation interactions as potentially important predictors of psychological states, although the explanation of these interactions through specific person variables remains difficult. Individual differences in the reaction to situations should be incorporated into our models of personality. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Improving the procedural status of a suspect by modernizing the grounds for its occurrence

The article analyzes the formation and development of the grounds for introducing a specific person into the status of a suspect. The arguments of the processualists regarding the grounds for its occurrence provided for by the current Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, recognized by both the majority of scientists and the author as rather controversial, creating difficulties in law enforcement, are investigated. Attention is focused on the importance of modernizing the grounds for introducing a person into a procedural status that generates personalized criminal prosecution, due to the need to improve the institution of suspicion in modern criminal proceedings. The author uses a historical method to identify the moment of formation and track the development of the grounds for the emergence of the procedural status of a suspect in criminal proceedings of the Soviet and modern periods. It is stated that it is necessary to reduce the grounds for the appearance of the procedural figure of the suspect to a single one, unifying it for all forms of preliminary investigation, implementing the exemption of the decision to introduce a person into the status under investigation from correlation with coercive measures, due to the primacy of suspicion. A special contribution of the author is linking the importance of the priority of suspicion over coercive measures with the complication of the proof process due to the improvement of crime, as well as the number of crimes that oblige their investigation in a form that entails the impossibility of applying a notification of suspicion as a basis that meets the requirements of the priority of suspicion. The novelty of the study consists in a proposal entailing an increase in the procedural significance of the suspect and bringing the provisions of the criminal procedure law in line with modern trends.

성격유형(MBTI)별 음악수용 방식에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study is to study the way music is accepted by personality type. A survey was conducted on young people (19-34 years old) living in Korea, and 288 subjects were involved. For survey statistics, IBM SPSS Statistics 27 version was used. The K-squared test is used to verify the relationship between categorical data, and in this study, music preference and personality type were analyzed as categorical variables, respectively. Through this, statistical results can be obtained as to whether music has an association with a specific personality type or whether there is a difference in music preference according to personality type. Research on the music acceptance method considering the audience's personality type could open a new horizon in music therapy, education, marketing, and even the music industry as a whole.

Haunting Memory of Forgotten History: A Case Study of WWII “Comfort Stations” in the Philippines as a Tourism Resource Featured in Selected Filipino Films

Summary The focus of this case study is the World War II “comfort stations” in the Philippines where the war victims during the Japanese occupation were held. For this case study, the scope is centralized on two main sites in the Philippines. Characters, settings, and the narratives of “comfort women” and “comfort gays” were analyzed from the two full-length Filipino films entitled “Bahay na Pula” and “Markova: Comfort Gay”. Within this context, the study assesses the potential of the featured “comfort stations” and other war-related sites in the films as a tourism resource that will educate tourists about war. The concepts of remembering and forgetting are essential when understanding critical areas of history. Analyzing what specific events, persons, or memories people choose to retain or erase, reveals different factors and motivations that push them to do so. This case study argues that it is necessary to remember important historical sites in the Philippines, particularly the markers that have been commonly taken for granted and are slowly deteriorating. It uncovers forgotten sites, restores the memory, and transforms the historical significance of the “comfort stations” featured in Filipino films by analyzing the story being told, the kind of place being depicted, and the relevance of preserving them.

Heart Disease Prediction using Machine Learning Algorithms

Heart disease cases are rising quickly every day, so it's crucial and worrisome to anticipate any potential illnesses in advance. This diagnosis is a challenging job that requires accuracy and efficiency. The primary focus of the study paper is on which patients, given different medical characteristics, are more likely to have heart disease. Using the patient's medical history, we developed a method to determine whether a heart disease diagnosis is probable or not for the patient. To forecast and categorize the patient with heart disease, we used a variety of machine learning algorithms, including KNN and logistic regression. The regulation of how the model can be used to increase the precision of heart attack prediction in any person was done in a very helpful way. When compared to the previously employed classifiers, such as naive bayes, etc., the suggested model's accuracy in predicting signs of having heart disease in a specific person was quite satisfactory. It did this by using KNN and Logistic Regression. Thus, using the provided model to determine the likelihood that the classifier will correctly and reliably recognize heart disease has relieved quite a bit of pressure. Given's system for predicting heart disease improves patient treatment while costing less. This research has provided us with a wealth of information that can be used to predict who will develop heart disease. It utilizes the .pynb file type

Relationship between Willingness to Communicate (WTC) and Writing Ability among Afghanistan EFL Learners

The notion of willingness to communicate (WTC) is a state of readiness to speak freely, without fear at a particular time with a specific person or group of people using a foreign language. Writing ability is, therefore, defined as the ability to initiate and evolve ideas and then use certain revising and editing practices to develop them to maturity in a given context. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Afghanistan EFL learners’ WTC and their writing ability. To perform this, 25 male learners who studied in senior English language class were selected to participate in this study. At the beginning of the research, they were asked to complete the Willingness to communicate questionnaire. Having answered the questionnaire, the participants were supposed to write a 200-word essay on a topic to show the learners’ writing ability. In the end, in order to explore the relationship between WTC and writing ability of the EFL learners, a descriptive correlational design used to achieve its objectives. The study used a descriptive correlational design to achieve its objectives. The results of the present study indicated that there was a positive significant relationship between the participants’ WTC and their writing ability.

The Big Five Personality Traits and Leadership: A Comprehensive Analysis

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and leadership styles, specifically authoritative, democratic, facilitative, and situational leadership. The Big Five personality traits include extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. Through an extensive literature review, present study explores how each of these personality traits can impact a leader's decision-making process, communication style, and overall approach to leading a team. Additionally, also examines how different leadership styles can be more effective depending on the specific personality traits of the leader and the needs of the team. The authoritative leadership style is most effective for leaders who are high in extraversion and low in agreeableness, while the democratic leadership style is best suited for leaders who are high in agreeableness and openness. The facilitative leadership style is most effective for leaders who are high in conscientiousness and openness, and the situational leadership style is most effective for leaders who are adaptable and able to adjust their leadership style based on the needs of the team. Overall, the study provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and leadership styles, offering insights into how leaders can leverage their unique personality traits to become more effective and successful in their roles.

Association between perfectionism, personality traits and probable sleep bruxism in Spanish schoolchildren: A case-control study.

The aetiology of Sleep bruxism includes specific personality traits, related to perfectionism. To investigate the relationship between probable sleep bruxism (PSB) and personality traits in children and their parents, determining whether children with PSB and their parents are more perfectionists. This case-control study included 104 children aged 8-9 years, 52 cases and 52 controls. A clinical examination was performed on the children who completed the Big Five Personality Questionnaire (BFQ-NA) and the Child Perfectionism Inventory. Parents completed a bruxism diagnostic questionnaire according to the AASM criteria, BFQ and Frost multidimensional perfectionism scale questionnaires. t-Tests for independent samples and multivariate logistic regression models were used for statistical analysis. A significant relationship between PSB and a self-demanding personality (OR = 1.11, p = .01), restless sleep (OR = 4.41, p = .004), and a family history of clenching and grinding teeth (OR = 3.07, p = .0006) was found in a binary logistic regression model. When adjusted, only restless sleep showed a significant relationship with PSB (p = .03, OR 3.32, 95% CI 1.13-9.81). Children whose parents reported as clenching or grinding their teeth while asleep in the previous 6 months, and who were found to have abnormal dental wear, had significantly more nightmares, sleep disruption, daytime sleepiness, family history of bruxism, and tended to be more perfectionist.
