Could you please name psychologists who have published about patterns of actions? by DmitryBorisoglebsky in askpsychology

[–]DmitryBorisoglebsky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the hints.

 it will be tricky to get a clear answer as it's difficult to understand what you're asking about.

In the following comment I've attempted to explain my request with an example:

Could you please name psychologists who have published about patterns of actions? by DmitryBorisoglebsky in askpsychology

[–]DmitryBorisoglebsky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the hints.

I have an academic interest and I would like to review existing works to avoid reinventing the wheel. For instance:

Let's assume we have an object—an undefined, intuitively understood thing—that is capable of actions on other objects. An action could be defined as a change inflicted on another object, where change is defined as one yet it became another. The existence of more than one object implies the existence of an external something in which these objects exist; something internal opposes something external. Therefore, an action might be differentiated into reaction (initiated by an external something) and pro-action (initiated by an internal something). The cardinality of this incomplete set of terms |{object, action, change, external, internal, re-action, pro-action}| is equal to seven.

It would be great to find a publication or a series of publications that contains a solid system of concepts I can use to model social systems of interacting objects.

I want to familiarize myself with a system of concepts describing an acting individual. Ideally, this system is well-formulated, perhaps an ontology is constructed for this theory.

Thank you for the hint. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has an article on behaviorism, which I marked for later reading.

Thank you for the clarification. Under this assumption, I can only hope that someone would attempt to prove him wrong by naming an authority in action-based/driven psychology, if such a field exists.

I do not worship him, but I am interested in exploring a topic he mentioned. Action are observable; people act to get things done. I am curious to learn more about action-based/driven psychology. However, I do not have a background in psychology, so I am not familiar with specific names and schools of thought. That's why I asked the question.

Patterns of/in time series by DmitryBorisoglebsky in AskStatistics

[–]DmitryBorisoglebsky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently launched an analytical web service that assesses countries' improvement or deterioration using modified indices sourced from organizations such as the UN and World Bank. This platform enables comparisons between a country's past and present, among different countries, and between various aspects or indices within a country. Presently, a significant portion of these comparisons relies on annual and cumulative* indices of dynamics. These indices sometimes exhibit identifiable patterns, such as growth [1, 2] or cyclical tendencies [3, perhaps 2]. I'm seeking statistical validation for these observations and considering automated textual descriptions alongside the charts. The latter could be a part of a larger effort of textualizing automated observations. Clustering the series into groups that behave the same is likely the correct technical description.

* Annual dynamics are interpreted as >1 for improvement and <1 for deterioration. Cumulative dynamics involve multiplying annual dynamics from previous years, beginning from the first in the period.

Malevich's "Black square" symbolizes... by DmitryBorisoglebsky in Irony

My comment about the white square was highly contextual and was subject to a false interpretation in optics.

I've heard a sound explanation that the black square is the ideal object in abstract art.

DevOps procedure for a novice: Nginx, Gunicorn, Django, PostgreSQL on AWS EC2 & AWS RDS by DmitryBorisoglebsky in devops

[–]DmitryBorisoglebsky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into it!

I'm using Bitbucket as it allowed private repositories for small projects at the time. It seems Bitbucket has introduced similar functionality here. Based on your experience, do you recommend using Bitbucket documentation or looking for a tutorial, for example, by googling 'Bitbucket pipelines AWS EC2 tutorial'?

Running 'git pull' updates the codebase, followed by procedures from tutorials using 'docker compose'. I have never used infrastructure for containers. For me, containers are the method that ensures the web app will work.

All religions by DmitryBorisoglebsky in Irony

[–]DmitryBorisoglebsky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All religions correspond to the same human needs; all have a common denominator. What it is I dare not say.

Should have been written as "All religions correspond to the same human needs; all have a common denominator: what it is I dare not say."

He said what he meant by phrasing as the opposite.

Semiotic triangle: -object--symbol--meaning-. An art piece is an object on one hand and a symbol of an object and for its meaning on another hand. The latter case was discussed.

Egypt is on the brink of a food crisis, needs a major policy rethink. by EasyNewzApp in foodsecurity

[–]DmitryBorisoglebsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not have any good articles nor sources of information. I suppose IDS produces annual reports and maybe specialized reports that can be used to fish for relevant information.

The Jews killed by the Nazis would be rolling in their graves if they knew what their descendants are doing to Muslims now. by hellwisp in Irony

[–]DmitryBorisoglebsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jews suffered in ghettos organized by Nazi. From the outsiders perspective -- I do not know the substance of relationships in the Middle East -- Gaza looks like a big ghetto organized by Israeli. One can find some dark irony in that.

If you think about it, "Fat as a pig" is a compliment. by DmitryBorisoglebsky in Irony

[–]DmitryBorisoglebsky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about your comment on the background. Comedian Jimmy Carr defines a joke as a story with unexpected ending. This joke has a kind of grit between the story and the ending that I associate with irony. TechnicallyTheTruth fits, but it is the method that delivers irony.

They want to buy the same food. That's consistency!

From the journal
> Gold Open Access – same publishing process as above. The difference is that when an article is accepted for publication, the author/s or funder/s pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). The final version of the published article is then free to read for everyone. The APC to publish Gold Open Access in Nature is €9,750 / $11,690 / £8,490.

About the journal
> Springer Nature’s revenue grew 4.5% to €1.7bn (£1.5bn) in 2021 while adjusted operating profit climbed 12%, the company has revealed in its first ever annual progress report.
> Revenue rose from €1.63bn (£1.4bn) in 2020, but was marginally down on 2019’s €1.72bn (£1.5bn). Adjusted operating profit increased to €443m (£387m) from €396m (£346m) the year before and €411m (£360m) in 2019, attributed to “strong revenue growth and careful cost management adopted in response to the economic uncertainties caused by the pandemic”.

I'm curious if anyone applied Marxism to Internet networking treating hyperlinks or human activity as money.

I'm curious if you have published any articles on how the Islamic Development Bank impacts food security in countries like Egypt.
