Maintaining accurate and precise temporal perception under conditions of stress is important. Studies in animal models and clinic patients have suggested that time perception can change under chronic stress. Little is known, however, about the relationship between chronic stress and time perception in healthy individuals. Here, a sample of 62 healthy young men completed Cohen’s Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) as a measure of chronic stress levels, while time perception was measured using a temporal bisection task. This task used short (400 ms) and long (1600 ms) visual signals as anchor durations. Participants were presented with a range of intermediate probe durations and were required to judge whether the durations were more similar to the short or the long anchor. Results showed that chronic stress was negatively related to temporal sensitivity indexed by the Weber ratio. However, there was no significant correlation between chronic stress and subjective duration indexed by the bisection point. These results demonstrate that higher chronic stress is associated with lower temporal sensitivity and thus provide evidence for a link between chronic stress and time perception in healthy adults.

This research addresses the challenge of attempting to understand how traditional tea brewing techniques of Bashu and Japanese cultures complement modern socio-economic strategies. The purpose of the research is to deepen the understanding of how tea traditions, religion, and philosophy relate to one another, and how they change as they travel within global contexts, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and Wakayama, a cross-cultural hub. A qualitative methodology is used for the study and it is based on visual and textual analysis from reputable sources like JETRO and JNTO to guarantee authenticity and relevance. It is shown that Bashu and Japanese tea traditions contain deep spiritual and philosophical values and have adapted to current worldwide trends while Wakayama plays a central role in the exchange of cultural and philosophical heritage. This study highlights the tea traditions as instruments that can enhance mutual understanding and cultural continuity and have implications for the Digital Humanities for the digital preservation of cultural heritage. Practice recommendations include using technology to document and promote these rich traditions worldwide and to promote cross-cultural dialogue with shared programs. However, the study relies upon secondary data, and additional field research is required to further enrich the analysis. As a result, this research sheds new light on cultural preservation and innovation, and global cooperation and resilience through tea traditions.

© CERN for the benefit of the ATLAS collaboration 2011.We present first measurements of charged and neutral particle-flow correlations in pp collisions using the ATLAS calorimeters.Data were collected in 2009 and 2010 at centre-of-mass energies of 900 GeV and 7 TeV.Events were selected using a minimum-bias trigger which required a charged particle in scintillation counters on either side of the interaction point.Particle flows, sensitive to the underlying event, are measured using clusters of energy in the ATLAS calorimeters, taking advantage of their fine granularity.No Monte Carlo generator used in this analysis can accurately describe the measurements.The results are independent of those based on charged particles measured by the ATLAS tracking systems and can be used to constrain the parameters of Monte Carlo generators.

Lukacs creation, "the young Hegel," is the intellectual development of an inherent requirement. Because he failed to properly deal with their young Hegel and Marx on philosophy developed in a similar way of the important theoretical intuition, not consciously thinking of the development process of the young Marx and the "Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844" in some of the comments, as observed, judged, "Phenomenology of Mind," the formation and nature of the frame of reference, which inevitably there have been some confusion and error. However, whether the study of Hegel, Lukacs research or study of the general history of ideas, the "Young Hegelians" has its own unique value. It was an intrinsic need in the development of thought for Lukas to write The Young Hegel. In fact, Lukas gained a very important theoretic instinct that there was an analogue between the philosophical development ways of young Hegel and young Marx, but he couldn't exercise correctly the instinct, furthermore took improperly young Marxian development of thought and some commentaries abstracted from Marx's 1844 Manuscripts as a reference by which the formation and essence of Phenomenology of Spirit were evaluated, so drew some confessional or illiberal conclusions. But then it is acknowledged that there is own particular importance in The Young Hegel for studies of Hegel, Lukas or history of idea

This latest building a socialist harmonious society, the reference as an opportunity to systematically study the self-Hegelian dialectics in Marxism has been the domain of historical changes as proposed and harmonious society to adapt to the new concept of harmony harmony dialectic is a dialectic contradictory dialectic of inheritance and development of the spirit of the times and the practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics profound ideological heritage, the opposite of the positive recognition of factors combined to achieve the opposite of harmony and win-win situation and so is the basic connotation of dialectics. The article begins with constructing harmonious society of socialism which is put forward by the Fourth Plenary session of 16 National congress, and systematically examines the changes from Hegel in dialectical history of Marxism, and creates a new conception-harmonious dialectics, which is fit in with harmonious society. The author believes the harmonious dialectics is the development and succeed of contradictory dialectics. It is the accumulation of thoughts which become in our time spirits and practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. The paper explains that the meaning of harmonious dialectics includes the positive of opposition, the reality combining with the opposition and reciprocal win

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the expression of items used to examine personal epistemological beliefs could affect the probabilities of response for compared groups and research outcomes. Differential-item-functioning analysis on school types and location of school according to the Rasch model was performed in this study. Nonacademically inclined school students and academically inclined school students were selected to complete the questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of three dimensions of beliefs about knowing and two dimensions of beliefs about learning. The results of the DIF analysis suggested that the items in the dimensions about knowing favor academically inclined students and students from schools located in the northern areas of Taiwan. The items in the learning dimensions favor nonacademically inclined students and students from schools located in the southern areas of Taiwan. The group comparisons were different between the scale that included the DIF items and the scale that excluded the DIF items. The discussion addresses the value of the precise detections for inappropriate items and the effect of the academic achievement on completing the survey.

Window opening behavior in residential buildings has important theoretical significance and practical value for improving energy conservation, indoor thermal comfort, and indoor air quality. Climate and cultural differences may lead to different window opening behavior by residents. Currently, research on residential window opening behavior in northwest China has focused on indoor air quality, and few probabilistic models of residential window behaviors have been established. Therefore, in this study, we focused on an analysis of factors influencing window opening behavior and the establishment of a predictive model for window opening behavior. Four typical residential buildings in different locations and building types in Xi’an were selected. The indoor and outdoor environments and window opening states were measured. Subsequently, a multivariate analysis of variance was used to determine the factors that had a significant effect on window opening behavior. Single- and multiparameter logistic regression models for window opening behavior were established. Of all the measured factors, we found that indoor temperature and CO2 concentration, outdoor temperature, and relative humidity had significant effects on window opening behavior, and indoor relative humidity and noise did not. Meanwhile, the temperature was positively correlated with the window opening probability, whereas indoor CO2 concentration and outdoor relative humidity were negatively correlated. The prediction accuracy of the multiparameter model was promising, at almost 75%, and the model can provide theoretical support for modelling residential buildings in Xi’an.
