<p>The relationship between blood type and personality has long been one of the more challenging issues of scientific studies. Several large-scale surveys were conducted to address the issue, and some of them had shown statistically significant associations. This study analyzed data from two large-scale surveys (Survey 1: N = 1,000, Survey 2: N = 1,859) to examine the relationship between blood type and personality. ANOVA results indicated that 13 of the total 20 respondents’ own blood type characteristic question items scored higher as “fit to my personality” than the averages of the other blood types. The same differences in scores were found in the group who reported no blood type personality knowledge, although the values were smaller. AI predicted blood types of participants more than by chance. We observed a clear and significant relationship between blood type and personality in large-scale surveys.<br></p>

In Asian countries, e.g., Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan, many studies on the relationship between ABO blood type and personality have been conducted. Recently, it has been estimated that more than half of Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese people feel that this relationship is legitimate. Therefore, when data from these countries are used in personality tests, it is theoretically difficult to eliminate the effects of the “contamination of knowledge,” even if differences are found. To avoid this issue, this study examined the linkage between ABO blood type and occupations in Japan. The results showed that personality traits corresponding to blood type appeared in the data of each of the three groups of politicians and athletes, and all differences were statistically significant. We observed a clear and significant relationship between blood type and personality. Additionally, it is also necessary to consider the influence of social background.

The influence of genetic factors on personality has been actively studied for several decades. This pilot study analyzed data from a <b>large-scale survey</b> (N = 3,750) using a combination of traditional statistical techniques and <b>artificial intelligence (AI)</b> to examine the relationship between ABO blood type and personality. The results showed that respondents exhibited the personality traits corresponding to their own blood type more strongly than respondents who had different blood types did. This finding was consistent across all 8 traits, and all differences were statistically significant. In our survey, the same differences in scores were found in the groups who were less interested in the relationship between blood type and personality, although the values were smaller. A group of 1,067 participants with better knowledge of blood type personality, AI predicted blood type in 43.6% of the participants. In the case of entire 3,750 participants, it did 40.4%. If gender, age, and marital status were excluded, these rates decreased to 42.3% and 39.3% respectively; all these values were more than by chance. We observed a <b>clear and significant relationship</b> between blood type and personality in a large-scale survey. Meanwhile, the effect of the blood type is not always coherent, therefore consistent results cannot be obtained unless <b>non-linear interactions</b> with other factors and <b>individual differences in personality sensitivity</b> are considered. The results of conventional personality tests were also discussed.

IntroductionAlthough many studies report that neuroticism and introversion predispose people to PTSD after exposure to traumatic event, the relationship between personality traits and PTSD is still vague. Also, little attention has been given to posttraumatic responses of civilians and especially women after war circumstances.ObjectivesTo explore the relationships between basic personality traits and PTSD among female civilians who have experienced war- related trauma.AimsTo investigate whether women with current PTSD, PTSD in remission, and those who did not develop PTSD differ in neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness.MethodsThe research is a part of a larger study „Psychobiology of PTSD”. CAPS and NEO PI-R were administrated to 395 female participants: 61 participants have current PTSD, 124 PTSD in remission and 108 never developed PTSD after experiencing at least one civilian war related traumatic event. The control group consisted of 101 women with no war related trauma.ResultsFour groups significantly differ on four out of five major domains of personality (one way ANOVA). Women with current PTSD and PTSD in remission have significantly higher scores on neuroticism (F = 25,170, p = ,000). Non PTSD group and controls show significantly higher scores on extroversion (F = 29,980, p = ,000) and on openness to experience (F = 18,421, p = ,000). Participants with current PTSD score have significantly lower scores on conscientiousness in comparison to the other three groups (5,672, p = ,001).ConclusionAccording to our results, personality traits are in significant relationship with PTSD development in female civilians with war related traumatization.

While YouTube has become a dominant actor in the global media system, the relationship between platform, advertisers, and content creators has seen a series of conflicts around the question of monetization. Our paper draws on a critical media industries perspective to investigate the relationship between YouTube’s evolving platform strategies on the one side and content creators’ tactical adaptations on the other. This concerns the search for alternative revenue streams as well as content and referencing optimization seeking to grow audiences and algorithmic visibility. Drawing on an exhaustive sample (n=153.770) of “elite” channels (more than 100.000 subscribers) and their full video history (n=138.340.337), we parse links in video descriptions to investigate the appearance and spread of crowdfunding platforms like Patreon, but also of affiliate links, merchandise stores, or e-commerce websites like Etsy. We analyze the evolution of video length and posting frequency in response to platform policy as well as visibility tactics such as metadata and category optimization, keyword stuffing, or title phrasing. Taken together, these elements provide a broad picture of “industrialization” on YouTube, that is, of the ways creators seek to develop their channels into media businesses. While this contribution cannot replace more qualitative, in-depth research into particular channels or channel groups, we hope to provide a representative picture of YouTube’s elite channels and their quest for visibility and success from their beginnings up to early 2020.

Year by year, the amount of elderly who lives at nursing home in Bali are increasingly. Most of them be carried to nursing home by their families with a reason that they are not able to take care of their elderly at home. It makes that there is a lot of elderly think negatively about the decision to put them at nursing home. Negative thinking makes them have a low self esteem. According to it, this study aiming to see the relationship positive thinking and self esteem to the elderly. This study is a correlational study between 84 elders who lives at nursing home in Bali as a subject. Method of data collection in this study is using questionnaires. The variable of positive thinking is measured positive thinking questionnaire, and the variable of self esteem is measured by self esteem questionnaire. Both of them are already valid and reliable. Positive thinking questionnaire consist of 22 items which validity range from 0,259 to 0,935 and the coefficient reliability is 0,944. Self esteem questionnaire consist of 23 items which validity range from 0,282 to 0,938 and the coefficient reliability is 0,959. The result of nonparametric Kendall’s Tau show that there is a significant relationship between positive thinking and self esteem (r=0,422 ; p=0,000). It that can be concluded that variable of positive thinking can explain the variable of self esteem in 17,8%. It can explain that the hypothesis  which stating that there is a relationship between positive thinking and self esteem to the elderly who lives at nursing home in Bali can be accepted. The other things that can explain about the relationship between positive thinking and self esteem are because the elderly able to; (1)accept themselves and their condition, (2) adapt with their environment, (3) see themselves positively, (4) show their power, (5) show their competence.   Keyword : positive thinking, self esteem, elderly, and nursing home

Abstract ABO blood type has been reported to be a predictor of poor prognosis in critically ill patients. Here, we aim to correlate different blood types with clinical outcomes in patients with severe burns. We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study by enrolling patients with severe burn injuries (≥40% TBSA) between January 2012 and December 2017. Baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared between disparate ABO blood types (type O vs non-O type). Multivariate logistic and linear regression analyses were performed to identify an association between ABO blood type and clinical outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, the development of acute kidney injury (AKI), and hospital or ICU length of stay. A total of 141 patients were finally enrolled in the current study. Mortality was significantly higher in patients with type O blood compared with those of other blood types. The development of AKI was significantly higher in patients with blood type O vs non-O blood type (P = .001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that blood type O was independently associated with in-hospital mortality and AKI occurrence after adjusting for other potential confounders. Our findings indicated the blood type O was an independent risk factor of both increased mortality and the development of AKI postburn. More prudent and specific treatments are required in treating these patients to avoid poor prognosis.

This paper raises once more the question of the relationship between philosophy on the one hand and common sense on the other. More particularly, it is concerned with the role which common sense can play in passing judgment on the rational acceptability (or otherwise) of large-scale hypotheses in natural philosophy and the cosmological part of metaphysics. There are, as I see it, three stages through which the relationship has passed in the course of the twentieth century. There is the era of G. E. Moore, the Quine–Feyerabend period, and now a new and modest vindication of common sense is emerging in the work of Jerry Fodor.

Abstract Abstract 568 Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevalence has been noted to be different for different racial groups: Non-Hispanic blacks tend to have a higher risk compared with non-Hispanic whites. Different ABO blood types have also been previously shown to be associated with different risk of VTE, with individuals with O blood type carry the lowest VTE risk. Given that blacks have a higher percentage of O blood type, one would expect to see a lower prevalence of VTE. In order to explain this paradoxical finding, we utilized the Clinical Looking Glass (CLG) system to study the relative influence of race, gender, age, and ABO blood type on the VTE risk. A total of 61,077 adult patients admitted to our large diverse urban hospital between 2000 and 2009 who had blood typing performed were included in the study. Four cohorts were established according to ABO blood group and the prevalence of VTE among each cohort was examined. We confirmed the higher prevalence of VTE in blacks (7.05% vs. 6.75%, p<0.001). While it has been previously shown that male gender is associated with higher VTE risk, we found this to be true only for the younger patient population: in adult patients less than 45yrs, male carried a higher prevalence of VTE (5.97% vs. 3.06%, p<0.001); in patients aged between 45 and 64yrs, no gender difference in the prevalence of VTE could be determined (8.40% vs. 8.33%, p=0.86). For patients aged between 65 and 84yrs, male gender was actually associated with lower prevalence of VTE (10.11% vs. 12.07%, p=0.009). No gender difference was seen in patients older than 80 (11.11% vs. 11.99%, p=0.356). When the prevalence of VTE was examined within each blood type, we confirmed that O blood type in general carries a lower VTE risk compared with other non-O blood types (6.9% vs. 8.4%, p<0.001); this held true for both genders (See Figure). To better analyze this complex interaction between race, ABO blood type, gender, age and VTE risk, we used logistic regression analysis. Race appeared to be the strongest determinant (black vs. white OR 1.43; 95% CI: 1.33, 1.52), followed by ABO blood type (Type A 1.2, 95% CI: 1.13–1.3; Type AB 1.2, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.40; Type B 1.33, 95% CI 1.23, 1.44), then gender (male vs. female OR 1.11; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.18) and finally, age (OR 1.03; 95% CI 1.03 – 1.03).). In conclusion, VTE risk for any individual is a composite of multiple variables. Our study suggests that race, gender, ABO blood type and age might allow us, in combination with other known risk factors, to develop a prognostic score for VTE risk stratification for each patient.
