Identity - Science topic

You would usually split it to below 3.5 or above 3.5 but it is better to see the normal distribution of the answer from previous studies and make an educated decision

thanks for the great information. where does it take place?

Hi,

Self Identity is one of the main topics in Psychology, which you can access from any of the books on Psychology and Social Psychology.

As to the association of self identity in disease and Pandemics here are few references:

What is the correct percentage of sequence identity for finding true homologous genes?

Usually "ensemble" means "configurational ensemble," i.e., a collection of structures of a single system, with the structures differing only in atomic coordinates. But technically, yes, one can make an ensemble of different systems and dock into them -- if the structures (and pharmacophore features) align well . . .

Your research project is interesting and valuable, but the main problem is that we don't have any more free access to Myanmar. I used to study the Portuguese 16th-17th century presence in Arakan, but nowadays, access to the country is blocked, and some of my former students have been arrested. Researching a persecuted minority without accessing its territory and society is challenging. What are your suggestions?

Ethnicity or nationality is the main element, and it may be completed by religion or sect.

One way is to go through the schools. A common approach is to reach out to the superintendent of the district with your IRB approval, summary of study, and that you are seeking support/permission. Once granted, you would then reach out to individual principals of schools in those districts to get their support. At that point, you provide the students at the school where you have support an informed consent and permission letter to take home for parents. If the parent consents, you may even schedule a call to address any questions or concerns they might have. Once you have consent, you then can proceed. Good luck.

I will encourage you to apply interpretive approach.

Self-efficacy or efficacy expectation is defined as “the conviction that one can success- fully execute the behavior required to produce the outcomes” (Yo can also see Bandura, 1977, p. 193).

I doubt there is anyone answer to this issue.technological advances have occurred since the Paleolithic and the question has always been one of how it will be used. A rock can be used to crack nuts or the head of a stranger.

Technological advances hold great promise for bettering the human condition, but our record with technology thus far is not encouraging. Climate change is here and real, and could not have happened in the early Neolithic.

I am an oldster and doubt I have a place in technology's ascendance. All I can do with the perspective of many years is to council caution and careful monitoring.

this research is not my field of science. so I can't answer the question

Dear Jackson

Some most current security related research topics on cloud-based identity & access management system are as follows:

Thanks Keith Brownlee. Yes, it is helpful. What I like about this paper is its focus on social identity in different contexts and group situations. As far as I’m concerned, this allows for a bit more analytic variety, but without deviating too much from more traditional social identity perspectives. That said, I still feel that social identity theory and the notions of ingroup and outgroup are a bit restrictive for my own research. Hence, I developed a simple internal–external distinction, which merely suggests that some represent an internal perspective, which indicates that some individuals or a group possess epistemic privilege (e.g., have access to their own experiences and thoughts: Keith Brownlee has direct experience of what it is like to be a university lecturer), and some represent an external perspective, whose standpoint can only be observational, analytic or based on others’ thoughts and experiences. Both perspectives may be heterogeneous (e.g., just because we both [Keith and Julius] share the identity of being university lecturers, doesn’t mean that we share the same professional experience, ideas about academia or any allegiance).

Nowadays computers solve any equations in seconds because they can carry out trillions of calculations per second.

You can use blocked matrices with identity matrices as elements

As a clinician over 5 decades, I offer my observations. Sociology offers that we exhibit a public and private personnas. And we look for congruence or congruence. I suggest a third sub-type of split object representation, cyber-self.

I see personality as the more consistent aspect over time how we think, feel and act.

For me personality is dynamically formed via many inputs from others. It reveals itself around age 5 when we are also internalizing gender role assignment. It begins to consolidate in our late teens. By around the 3rd decade it is relatively fixed.

We are also potently shaped by the processes of socialization and enculturation.

I attach a few articles in this regard. Great topic.

Rich

The analysis of the poems (al-Fusha and others) sung by Fayrouz will reveal many of these formulations, because they are collected between groups in the Arab country that suffers from sectarian differences the most. Thus art reveals this through songs, revolution poems, cinema, and sometimes novel

Good luck

Regarding identity construction through discourse, Bamberg, Bamberg etl. and Defina, etl. are more that great books to revise in this matter.

Hi, Aziz Ur Rehman. The first one is a PhD thesis and you can find it online in https://www.academia.edu/27692369/Social_movements_YouTube_and_political_activism_in_authoritarian_countries_a_comparative_analysis_of_political_change_in_Pakistan_Tunisia_and_Egypt. The Second publication is available in https://books.google.pt/books?id=kQWdDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=pt-PT&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false. Hope this helps!

Jinan F. B. Al-Hajaj Thank you so much! :)

There are many publications in this field. A simple literature search should provide you with many publications relating to your research area. Other than what has been mentioned, you can also check, among others, Richardson, J. (2006), Analysing Newspapers: An Approach from Critical Discourse Analysis; Talbot, M. (2007), Media Discourse: Representation and Interaction: Kalyango, Y. & Kopytowska, M.W. (2014), Why Discourse Matters: Negotiating Identity in the Mediatized World.

Anyhow, best a master student looks into this in detail:

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on a Blockchain-based Decentralised Trust Network With Customizable Challenges

Juhendaja / supervisor: Alex Norta, Benjamin Leiding

The Authcoin protocol is an alternatie concept to the commonly used public key infrastructures such as central authorites and the PGP Web of Trust (WoT). Authcoin combines a challenge response-based validaton and authenticaton process for domains certicates, email accounts and public keys with the advantages of a blockchain-based storage system. The blockchain technology proivdes a publicly availableo transparent and fault tolerant mechanism for storing data in a distributed and decentralized manner The Authcoin protocol distinguishes between validaton and authenticaton. In the context of Authcoin, validaton aims to prove the following three facts: First, a specific entity has access to a certain account that is under validatono e.g., an email account. Second, a certain entity has access to a specified private- and public key. Third, the specified key pair corresponds to the tested account. The authentiicaton of Authcoin contnues the validaton procedure by verifying the identity and aims to confirm that the alleged owner is also the actual owner of the public key. Users can set up challenges for other entites and ask them to fulfill these challenges. Either the entity fails to do so, or is able to successfully complete the challenge and create a corresponding response. The chosen challenge depends on the use-case scenario, the required level of security and the given threat level of the involved entities. 

Open issues of a recently completed master thesis are: We slightly touched private challenge types that preserve the privacy of data, but in real-life scenarios, it is needed, so it needs further investigation. There are concepts such as zero-knowledge proof, which can be used for providing privacy in Authcoin protocol, but it was out of the scope of this thesis. Additionally, there are more and more authentication types introduced in today’s world, so in the case of emerging new biometric or another factor, research might be needed to validate it in the Authcoin protocol. Also, this thesis was mentioning private and public key pairs as the central resource for which authentication was taking place. However, the Authcoin protocol is not limited to private/public key pair and can authenticate users to access any resource. 

Another open issue for future research is usage of machine learning models for improving risk-based authentication. Since risk-based authentication compares old, existing contexts to user’s current context, machine learning models can be used to improve information about previously used contexts. Furthermore, in the implementation, we only consider person to person in- teraction since it is easy to test, but in real life, there can be different use cases which can include users such as organization, ministry, government or machine. Hence, many combinations can happen, and it needs further research. Other open issues pertain to fusing the physical-, digital- and biological identity as extended multi-factor authentication challenge sets that can also be combined with blockchain technology.

On Ilse Koch-

You could also check the documentation center at Nuremberg.

Could you please explain more about your intended research. It is because we have various perspectives on this issue. Do you want to study from which perspective? Islamic or western or in general?

The self-determination of indigenous peoples, as well as the respect and promotion of their cultures, are human rights included in international treaties (Convention No. 169 of International Labor Organization, Concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries).

In Mexico, we have recognized them in our Constitution, as a consequence of a 1994 indigenous armed conflict (EZLN). Initially, it served to allow indigenous communities to isolate themselves, and they will not respect some rights, such as the equality of women and child abuse.

However, in recent times the Mexican Supreme Court is making them respect the Constitution, while guaranteeing that their communities must be heard in the design and execution of public policies that impact them.

Dear, Anna Voigt , Volume II of the information age of the sociologist Manuel Castells, can be useful

In my research, language is the very basis for being, as everything exists only in language. Without a written, or notated, universal language of music, that music could never travel more that between tribal members, and even then could not be reproduced in original form without notation. The same applies to law, government, economics: everything is embedded in it's own unusual language. And culture is ONLY contained in language. As dictators have demonstrated throughout time, to quickly destroy a culture, first ban its language. And individually, in terms of consciousness, we exist as a series of stories that collectively form our understanding of self. Read Gadamer, who encapsulates this with: "We language ourselves into being".

In addition, at this level of identity, you may in addition to Modeller, also want to try modelling with a threading algorithm, e.g. iTasser, which not only rely on how similar two sequences are using average amino acid similarities, but actually check how "happy" (energetically favourable) your sequence is in the structure of the template. Especially if you have man insertions/deletions between your target sequence and the sequence of your template, Modeller is crucially dependent on the correct placement of these gaps, which is not necessarily the on yielding the best score.

Shilong put you on the right track. If I need to add something, it has to do with the way your students bring about coherence in their writing by analyzing the theme-rheme organization (Halliday's textual metafunction) into the various types such as constant theme, simple linear progression, derived theme, split theme, and thematic lapse. Since you want to investigate Writer Identity, an analysis along these lines may be fruitful in reinforcing your decisions as to what counts as different writer identities. As you may know, these types are variously complex, which would enable you to stream students into different personalities through their writings. An author that you might ant to consult on the ideational metafunction, though he is a social psychologist, is Pennebaker who has written extensively on the importance of lexical choices. A final word about the interpersonal metafunction: Depending on what topic students have been given to develop, this function may be slightly difficult to investigate. I take it that you start with hypotheses about what to expect to find in your students' writing, in which you might suggest which metafunction might be more represented.

in fact the paper has been published meanwhile in the Journal of Clinical Medicine and can be downloaded from my RG account: Andonian et al. (2020)

Your suggestions helped a lot with knowledge acquisition in general and theory crafting, thanks again!

I chose to measure the mentioned constructs directly by generating items by myself and forming a scale, but, as this was my bachelor thesis, i needed to keep it very parsimonious, because experimental induction and other measures already took up much time and space. Therefore, I also had no chance to pilot test and validate my scale. It could be that it´s just measuring mindfulness - currently I´m analysing and arguing based on the theoretical foundation of my item construction and the results.

Overall, I expected way more but the results are not at all completely disappointing. A major problem that emerges is that my sample consists mostly of psychology students (who would have thought it), which is evidently limiting variance of my independent variable(s). I will, however, continue researching with the same or slightly altered experimental framework and design within the scope of my work at the chair and keep you up to date. Probably, I create a project here after my current obligations are overcome.

Greetings and stay healthy!

Ramiro Vasconcelos dos Santos Júnior, here's the call.

Gracias! Estamos acabando el trabajo. Cuestionamos la función que se lleva a cabo realmente en las Escuelas Superiores de Diseño, y en todo el sistema público universitario, relativo a la falta de formación en inglés profesional. Es curioso la importancia que en teoría se le da, tanto por empleadores como por las instituciones, a la competencia en inglés, y lo poCó que se hace para que llegue a todo el alumnado.

Dear Anatol Badach ,

thank you for your reply, I appreciate your help.

Using ideas that develop creative processes such as skills, planning and design, as well as the continuous encouragement of positive processes and correcting the wrong ones.

Of course you can ask the author again!

seriously - no one has actually read her question. Surely it is on how to report it in plain language!!!! I'm struggling with this as well - its never actual spoken of plainly.

Thank you, yes I have tried that. Aileen

Hi Dan Moreno,

I would look into the work of Bakhtin, Vygotsky and Leontiev. Maybe also Anna Stetsenko or Hubert Hermans if you're looking for modern identity construction within movements or the self. But identity is something that also needs to be neatly defined so you can pick a discussion.

As far as 'identity as an object', my good friend Ehsan Baha (also on researchgate,) is real life proof that understanding or becoming aware of your identity can be an object. His work, although not rooted in CHAT, is helping design students understand their identity and use to develop themselves and their understanding of long term object and meaning.

I did send it, yet it still awaiting for confirmation:

An international team did surveys in March. Among them our Institute for Protest and Social Movement Studies. Information in German here: https://protestinstitut.eu/das-ipb-in-den-medien-fridays-for-future/

It's a familiar theme for some movies or novels. Or also: The set goal, the great success, which is experienced with a feeling of unimaginable happiness, is finally there, but the catastrophe is just around the corner, without having been noticed. Similar motives that have to be eliminated for the sake of success, inappropriate circumstances and people, can be found in literature. When it comes to plays, one would have to think about it, mr can't think of anything at the moment, but everything melodramatic has a tic in this direction.

I wrote this poem.

Hi Dmitry: I am familiar with two scales which measure aspects of time perspective: The Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) and the modified Balanced Time Perspective Scale (mBTPS). They each measure certain facets of the past, present, and future time perspective and each has been associated with various measures of positive mental health. I've attached a copy of a paper describing the mBTPS for your interest.

Best wishes,

Jeff

I would annotate first my genome which means predict all genes/proteins using an annotator. If you are not conformable with command line, you can use Galaxy.org. and the annotator selection depends on your organism.

Once you have your set of proteins and you expect the enzymes to have orthologuos in the genome, you can go for Blast Best hit (80 % identity and 70 % coverage) or other tool such OrtoMCL in case of eukaryotes. If they are not orthologuos, you can modify Blast parameters.

Hope it helps.

Dissociative identity disorder (DID), often called multiple personality disorder (MPD), has fascinated people for over a century. However, though it is a very well-known disorder, mental health professionals are not even sure if it exists. It is possible that it is a form of another illness, like schizophrenia. Another theory is that it doesn’t exist at all, and those who have it, including the following people, are simply acting.

please check the link for further information.

Dr. Mohammmedali, your question is a good question, but you frame it as a binary question--either you identify with (i.e. belong) or you disconnect (i.e. don't feel that you belong). Of course there are degrees of belonging depending on who you are, where you are, and what you think entails "belonging". The US, I imagine is like many other "diverse" countries with multi-ethnic, multi-racial populations and there are degrees or spectra of belonging that are based not on experience or emotion, but also on power. Citizenship after all is as much about exclusion as it is about inclusion. That is true historically and that is true currently. For example, to be considered "white" was a precondition in order to be considered eligible for citizenship in the US in the past. Likewise, currently some people are consIdered ineligible for citizenship even before they arrive, such as the asylum seekers currently making their way in caravans from Central America to the US. Also, in such diverse countries as the US, nation-building depends on narratives, myths and discourses that create national identities that support their exceptionalist stances. While the "melting pot" myth has been used to invoke that the US is a country of immigrants where all (i.e. cultures, races, ethnicities) "mix" into the pot and harmoniously become "Americans", that is not a universal experience or expectation for all. In fact it is a very violent idea first and foremost because it erases the genocide of Native Americans from the national consciousness. Nation of immigrants discourses invoke "terra nullius" or the idea that the land was/is vacant and available to immigrants who are seeking better lives and fortunes (i.e. American Dreams). Settler colonialism has been/is normalized as fair, just, and part of a civilizing mission toward modernity (for some). Settlers, white settlers in particular appropriate "nativeness" for themselves and then claim to be the "true Americans"; thus, American is normalized to white Americans. The melting pot myth is also violent to People of Color because People of Color (non-whites) are not meant to be included in the pot and even though the discourse is meant to encourage assimilation, for some People of Color, no matter how much they try to assimilate, they will never be considered "true Americans." African Americans, for example, have been excluded historically as sub-human (i.e. 3/5 compromise, property) and continue to be excluded today through the legal system, economically, police violence, etc. This is true for other communities of color as well. Third, the melting pot myth is also violent toward whites, because they had to give up their European heritage cultures and languages in exchange for the full citizenship, for inclusion into whiteness. To become white they had to give up being Polish, Dutch, German, etc. Whiteness is powerful and it is protected by structures and institutional power in the US. Even poor whites are more invested in whiteness than in their own potential economic and political political alliances with People of Color for social justice. So, bottom line, yes some people feel they belong, but many do and don't simultaneously depending on who they are, how historically informed they are, their critical "read" of the world, etc. I apologize if this is not the kind of answer you sought, but the issue is so complicated, historical, political, social, cultual, etc. that there is no easy answer.

"Rêve et chamanisme", ed Accarias l'Originel, Paris, 1998.

Definition is (a logically coherent) restriction. It means that features shared among many (or all) cannot serve as a starting point. It would be much better - and much more correct - to proceed with the definition of "identity" first.

Or, if not, we stay at the "Mediterranian diet" (with the exception of pork) as a basic conclusion.

Thanks very much. A very useful book and a great author.

I think the question is too broad and so it needs to be narrowed down or reworded! Both migration and consumption are big concepts and identity of an individual or a group of people can be changed and/or reconstructed when people migrate to another country! Dietary practice is just one aspect of identity, which can immensely be influenced by the movement of people from one place to another. Think about the diverse identities of diasporas in transnational world!

yes i mostly used for more information you can see

Definitively, it's a pity Bourdieu isn't here anymore!

A link between self-reference and identity can be established through the interdependence of a "sense of continuity" and "continuous sense of self".

"Humans either consciously or unconsciously “make sense of a continuity” between their past, present, and future. This sense of continuity is central to the development of an understanding of oneself, others, and the surrounding environment....

....thus "there must also be 'a continuous sense of self' in the human mind that enables a person to be sure every morning that he or she is the same person who went to sleep last night. This aspect of self, referred to as 'the ecological self,' allows one to perceive oneself with respect to physical environment, and to say 'I am the person here in this place, engaged in this particular activity' "

"The continuous sense of self and the sense of continuity can be relatively referred to as pre-reflective and reflective self. The pre-reflective self (the self-body) is the immediate and mostly unconscious experiencer of life. By contrast, the reflective self (i.e., reflecting upon what one feels, believes, or wishes) is the internal observer of what is consciously and unconsciously experienced ...."

In sum, this interdependence of the continuous sense and the sense of continuity can (i.e. self-reference) be deemed as the developmental process of identity. Individual differences in the sense of continuity between past and present experiences are likely to be a reason for why individuals with the same ethnocultural identity can have have different self-reference.

Should you be interested in further explanations, articles below may meet your concern.

Hi There, I was actually involved in some research on this theme looking at identity formation within the context of the conflict on Twitter, I've some quite good sources available and the research may be of interest to you - do let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to help: https://arrow.dit.ie/icr/vol16/iss1/8/ We also got some media coverage for the paper, which may give a quick insight into our focus: Jerusalem Post: https://www.jpost.com/Blogs/Conflict-and-Technology/Portraying-Israeli-and-Palestinian-Identities-on-Twitter-565928 London School of Economics: http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/mec/2018/09/22/portraying-israeli-and-palestinian-identities-on-twitter/ Political Studies association: https://www.psa.ac.uk/insight-plus/blog/portraying-israeli-and-palestinian-identities-twitter

I think,

'Creative Identity' is a thing which is associated with creativity and the society. Someone who has creative identity, he must has two things, one is creativity which is also recognized as creativeness by the society. If society does not give any recognition of anybody's creativity, the 'creative Identity' will not developed!? Even, the development of an Identity is not only dependent on an individual one but also on societal context(culture, power structure, economics, politics, etc.). There are abound of examples around us that people may have creativity but they are being treated as the men of insane work. Here the power politics of social exclusion is very relevant.

Moreover, in capitalist economy and society there is a deep influence of institutionalization. Now a days creativity is being shaped by the institutional nature and institution gives a testimony of creativeness which has a 'cultural capital', this sort of capital helps to get an Identity too. Creativity is existing every where, some are recognized, some are not and some are ignored!

I just want to explain with an example:

Now I am working with the Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) in Bangladesh. You know, this is the world's largest refugee and humanitarian crisis in recent time. Here, I found, many children are playing with their hand made toys. Now question is that, the boy or girl who is playing with hand made toys made by him/herself is creative? Definitely they are creative. Creativity always comes out from the human spirit whatever it is in emergency situation or in peaceful situation. But, when we will talk about 'creative identity' it becomes complicated with the connection of society.

Thanks for your thinking Declan! This coalescence as a Psychological Factor is interesting because at that age research shows that the child's imagination and development are fluid and can trigger altered states in a Default Mode Paradigm. Traumatic Stress has been linked to Default Mechanisms and Altered States. Simplifying a complex processs this may occur as as follows. Alters may form and solidify together to escape the present traumatic experience. After this Internal focus and consolidation alters may be created and controlled by an Executive/Directing Alter to interact with the External Reality. The blending of various escape personalities and the practicing mode may occur with repeated traumatic triggers and becomes automatic, controlled and learned much as actors learn and look natural in their roles. Hypnotic effects may trigger default modes in actors to make them feel and believe that they are the person that they portray. The Default Mode has been linked to Altered States of Consciousness. Simply stated, The Default Mode Network (DMN) is made up of a Positive Mode and a Negative Mode. One Focuses on the External Environment the other on the Internal Thinking with much happening in Dreaming and Altered States of consciousness. The complex interplay is triggered repeatedly to form DID and related states. This is purely a Theoretical Hypothesis to try to get at the Possible Neuropsychological Mechanisms that may be involved in your excellent Coalescence description. Research on the Default Mode Network is growing fast in the areas of hypnosis, mindfulness, creativity and PTSD as well as many other areas and my portrayal is in development. Thanks Declan and Shirley for this interesting topic! Lewis

Thank you.

But if I have a query coverage of 85-88% between my query sequence and the reference sequence, does it mean that are different species? Which should be a good cut-off value of the query coverage to conclude sequences are different?

When I was working, there was a website I used for upcoming conferences. I do not remember it, but here are some such sites that will be usefule for your search.

Dear Gary

unfortunately I don't think there is a general consensus about the thresholds to apply to BLAST or other similarity searches. A filter on query coverage percentage and identity of at least 80% sounds reasonable as well as focusing on the hits with an evalue less than 0.05. In the end it depends on the kind of information you are looking for, the distance between your species and the others in the database, etc. So in the end you decide if you want to be very strict applying stricter filters because you want to find the strongest candidate or if you want to apply more relaxed filters. For instance, if you wanted to collect similar sequences in order to perform a phylogenetic analysis or a multi-alignment then you could decide to be more relaxed to get most of the sequences. On the other hand if you are looking for a candidate gene for a specific trait then you could be more strict.

I hope this information might be useful.

Kind regards

As Gunnar mentioned, there are many approaches to understanding identity. A few I could maybe add would be: Sheldon Stryker; Peter Burke; George Mead; Erving Goffman; and Charles Cooley.

Since 2015, and in cooperation with the Faculty of art of Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), artistic activities has been offered to homeless men on this particular theme of: how I see my city, and how I live in it.

The workshops, span over 12 weeks and are organised by a professional artist. The men each have a cell phone or a camera and they walk throughout the city taking pictures and recording sounds that will be later used to elaborate a short video of 4-5 minutes. In the process, they visits museums or artists' studios to see what professional contemporary artists have produced on the subject.

This whole process brings a lot of change in their vision of the city and of their place in the city.

This looks like a terrific conference! I will distribute to colleagues and students. Good luck!~

Thank you very much

Dear Dibakar thank you for reply. Wisdom is historically and culturally a varying term. E.G. in ancient Indian writings there is no diference in the q

quality of "wisdom" aceived by a long time of servere meditation and the "wisdom" (we would say feeling) followed by using a psychotrophic substance.

Hi,

Dein jetziges Vorgehen klingt aus meiner Sicht vielversprechend; mit der "2/3"-Schwelle sollten die drei Subskalen auch verschiedene Dimensionen abbilden dürfen, ohne dass die dichotome Output-Variable dadurch unbrauchbar wird! Voraussetzung ist natürlich, dass das Vorgehen mit dem Inhalt des theoretischen Konstrukts "Technical Identity" logisch kompatibel ist. (d.h. dass für einen hohen Wert nicht z.B. per Definition eine konsistent hohe Beantwortung der 3 Subskalen nötig ist)

Ben now made sum-indices for the three sub-scales of "technical identity" and checked them for internal consistency and intercorrelation. They correlate between 0.313 and 0.581. He now uses a binary output-variable based on dichotomised values of the three sub-scales (0/1 threshold for sub-scales: mean; 0/1 threshold for output-variable: 2/3 of sub-scale dummies = 1)
