A Transfer Learning Approach on the Optimization of Edge Detectors for Medical Images Using Particle Swarm Optimization.

Edge detection is a fundamental image analysis task, as it provides insight on the content of an image. There are weaknesses in some of the edge detectors developed until now, such as disconnected edges, the impossibility to detect branching edges, or the need for a ground truth that is not always accessible. Therefore, a specialized detector that is optimized for the image particularities can help improve edge detection performance.

Fitness-Related Self-Conscious Emotions and Risk for Exercise Addiction: Examining the Mediating Role of Passion.

Fitness-related self-conscious emotions (SCEs) have been proposed as antecedents of exercise addiction (EA). However, the potential mechanisms underlying such a relationship remain unexplored. The present study examined the relationship between fitness-related SCEs and risk of EA, as well as the mediating role of passion for exercise.

Examining the relationship between fitness-related self-conscious emotions, disordered eating symptoms, and morbid exercise behavior: An exploratory study.

Background And Aims: Theoretical models of morbid exercise behavior (MEB) suggest that it may emerge as a result of complex interactions between a range of psychosocial factors. However, in spite of fitness-related self-conscious emotions involving such factors, their relationship with the risk of MEB has never been investigated. Consequently, this study had two objectives.

The Relationship between Goal Orientations, Motivational Climate and Selfreported Discipline in Physical Education.

The purpose of this study was to test a motivational model on the links between situational and dispositional motivation and self-reported indiscipline/discipline based on the achievement goals theory. The model postulates that a task-involving motivational climate facilitates self-reported discipline, either directly or mediated by task orientation. In contrast, an ego-involving motivational climate favors self-reported indiscipline, either directly or by means of ego orientation.
