Air passenger travel forecasting model based on both dynamical individual behavior and social influence force

Air passenger travel forecasting is necessary and becomes very valuable for airline company, because accurately obtaining practical requirements of air passenger, which can not only help airline company to improve air passenger satisfaction degree and enhance user experience so as to gain huge revenue, but also can help air passengers discover suitable travel plan quickly. In order to generate the air passenger travel forecasting model, this paper aims to analyze the internal driving force and social affect factor simultaneously, which was based on dynamical personal behaviors and air passenger social relationship exactly. In particular, three aspects in terms of dynamical personal behaviors, effect of fellow air passenger, and influence of similar air passenger are all considered simultaneously, and then the data from these aspects are further trained so as to obtain weight allocation in many different scenarios. Besides, workday and non-workday are separately considered in order to make the forecasting model feasible and effective.

The conceptualization of depression among Filipino seafarers

The Center for Epidemiological Studies – Depression (CES-D) scale is a well-validated and frequently used measure for assessing symptoms associated with depression. This scale was developed primarily on the basis of American populations, however, and previous research has suggested that the original factor structure may not be appropriate for all populations. One such population is the Filipino population. This study represents the first study we are aware of to examine the factor structure of the CES-D scale in a sample of Filipino seafarers. Seafaring is considered a high stress and high risk occupation. Based on data collected from 135 Filipino seafarers, we conducted factor analyses to identify the appropriate factor structure for the CES-D in this population. We found that a three-factor structure better described the responses of Filipinos in our sample than the standard four-factor structure. The Filipino factor structure appears to collapse depressive affect and somatic factors found in previous research, while including a specific factor of social-focused symptoms of depression. This structure maintains the positive affect factor found in previous work. Implications of this for clinical psychology assessment and practice in the Philippines are discussed.

The Impact of Visual Impairment on Perceived School Climate

The current investigation examines whether visual impairment has an impact on a student’s perception of the school climate. Using a large national sample of high school students, perceptions were examined for students with vision impairment relative to students with no visual impairments. Three factors were examined: self-reported level of happiness, perception of a positive school climate, and negative school affect. Results revealed no differences for the seeing and visually impaired students on self-reported happiness and perception of a positive school climate factors, however significant differences were found on the negative school affect factor. Additionally, gender was significantly related to the negative school affect factor.
