This is an interaction of two economies which include trade and competition. In the resulting system that consists of two independent economic entities, we show that fluctuations can emerge as two possible types of economic indicators (synchronous and antiphase) when the peaks and downturns of business activities in each of the economies are completely synchronized or on the contrary when the rise of one economy is accompanied by a recession (antiphase cycles). Our aim is to examine the stability question of solutions of the cognate mathematical model. Our analysis of the mathematical model will render methods of the theory of dynamical systems, such as the method of integral manifolds and the Poincare normal forms. This approach will provide a sufficient analysis of the dynamics of solutions of a system of differential equations, which is used as a mathematical model. Asymptotic formulas will be obtained for solutions that depict economic cycles.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"93-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38701312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Synchrony in body movements, autonomic arousal, and EEG activity among human individuals has attracted considerable attention for their possible roles in social interaction. This article is specifically concerned with autonomic synchrony and finding the best model for the dyadic relationships, with regard to both theoretical and empirical accuracy, that could be extrapolated to synchrony levels for groups and teams of three or more people. The four models that are compared in this study have different theoretical origins: the two-variable linear regression function, a three-parameter nonlinear regression function, the logistic map function stated in polynomial form, and the logistic map function stated as an exponential regression structure. The data for this study were electrodermal responses collected from a team of four people engaged in an emergency response simulation that produced 12 dyadic time series. Results shows strong levels of fit between the data and all four models, although there were significant differences among them. Further research directions point toward finding conditions that favor one model over another and exploring other possible nonlinear structures.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"19-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38364321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, handwriting has shown to be of value in the study of motor symptoms in neurological and mental disorders. In the present work, the geometric analysis of handwriting patterns is proposed as a tool to evaluate motor symptoms in psychotic disorders. Specifically, we have employed the lacunarity, a measure of the heterogeneity of a spatial structure. Forty-two patients with a psychotic disorder and 35 matched healthy controls participated in the study. Participants were asked to copy some patterns with a pen on a white paper. The results showed that lacunarity was significantly higher in handwritten patterns from patients than from controls. In addition, we found higher values of lacunarity in handwritten patterns from patients with severe motor symptoms in comparison with patients with mild or absent motor symptoms. Lacunarity of handwritten patterns was significantly correlated with clinical scores of rigidity. In conclusion we argue that the heterogeneity of handwritten patterns could be used as a simple and objective measure of motor symptoms.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38364318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Variability and Complexity of Non-stationary Functions: Methods for Post-exercise HRV.","authors":"Nathaniel T Berry, Laurie Wideman, Christopher K Rhea","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Heart rate variability (HRV) is a noninvasive marker of cardiac autonomic function that has been extensively studied in a variety of populations. However, HRV analyses require stationarity-thus, limiting the conditions in which these data can be analyzed in physiologic and health research (e.g. post-exercise). To provide evidence and clarity on how non-stationarity affects popular indices of variability and complexity. Simulations within physiologic (restricted to values similar to exercise and recovery RR-intervals) and non-physiologic parameters, with homoscedastic and heteroscedastic variances, across four sample lengths (200, 400, 800, and 2000), and four trends (stationary, positive-linear, quadratic, and cubic) were detrended using 1-3 order polynomials and sequential differencing. Measures of variability [standard deviation of normal intervals (SDNN) and root mean square of successive differences (rMSSD)] as well as complexity [sample entropy (SampEn)] were calculated on each of the raw and detrended time-series. Differential effects of trend, length, and fit were observed between physiologic and non-physiologic parameters. rMSSD was robust against trends within physiologic parameters while both SDNN and SampEn were positively and negatively biased by trend, respectively. Within non-physiologic parameters, the SDNN, rMSSD, and SampEn of the raw time-series were all biased, highlighting the effect of the scale between these two sets of parameters. However, indices of variability and complexity on the original (trended) times-series were furthest from those of the stationary time-series, with indices coming closer to the known values as fit become more optimal. Detrending with polynomial functions provide reliable and accurate methods of assessing the variability and complexity of non-stationary time-series-such as those immediately following exercise.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"24 4","pages":"367-387"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38405643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A positive CER style was assessed in a sample of healthy adolescents (n = 57), and mean and total distances, in addition to heart rate variability (HRV) measures and cardiac entropy (SampEn), were calculated during a conflict discussion with the adolescents' mothers. Associations between distances and HRV measures in time and frequency-domains and SampEn were examined to better understand the physiological meaning of distances; further, whether a positive CER style would predict distances, HRV, and SampEn. Correlation analysis revealed that associations of distances with time-domain HRV measures were stronger than associations with frequency-domain HRV measures, while correlations between distances and SampEn were moderate. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that a positive CER style predicted distances and SampEn, but not HRV measures. Distances are clearly time-domain measures of HRV, but only partly capture the complexity of the heart signal. The results highlight the importance of assessing heart rate dynamics beyond HRV in the study of CER.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"24 4","pages":"431-449"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38405646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Text-tree models consist of word-shrubs 'glued' together by syntax. Word-shrubs are designed by means of two principles, one is the dictionary or semantic principle that we can explain all verbal meanings by the meanings of other words. The other is the initiator-generator procedure, used to develop geometrical fractals. The structure of the word-shrub grows from the root-word when the meaning of the root-word, the generator, is connected as a branch to the root-word which is first initiator. Then all generator words are redefined as new initiators and connected to their meaning, the second generators. But the words or these are redefined as new initiators, each then being connected to its generator-meaning. This is repeated ad infinitum. Each new layer of generators represents a branching level. Consistency of verbal meaning is achieved by fixing the number of branching levels of the word-shrub. Wobbling consistency occurs when the talking or writing person shifts between levels of branching. We develop the M-method, important for most of the results, because it allows differences in verbal meaning to be estimated numerically. An interesting property of the text-tree model is revealed by showing that there must exist a cloud of unexperienced meaning variants of human texts. Most interesting, perhaps, is the demonstration of what we call the lemma of incompleteness which states that humans cannot prove beyond doubt, that they understand correctly what they say and write. This lemma seems to be a distant barrier for the expansion of human understanding and of relevance for understanding human versus artificial intelligence.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"24 4","pages":"389-402"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38405644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agent-based models (ABMs) - a relatively unfamiliar phenomenon within the persuasive technology and eLearning domains- offers a potentially relevant methodology to understand when the support should be delivered. Using ABMs, the dynamics of motivational user states can be simulated. Subsequently, emerging user patterns can be traced that can potentially provide insight in the ebb and flow of motivation. For the purpose of this study, we designed an exploratory ABM on motivation based on the mental energy notion of which the foundations can be found both within the literature of motivational psychology and agent-based modeling. During the simulations we succeeded in generating moments of critically low user motivation. In addition, we were able to simulate the positive impact of external user support at those critical moments. These results suggest that it is plausible to put further energy in developing ABM models with the ultimate goal of feeding persuasive technology with the ability to deliver just-in-time user support during eLearning.","PeriodicalId":46218,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics Psychology and Life Sciences","volume":"24 4","pages":"403-429"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38405645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
