Irrational beliefs as psychosocial risk of work addiction from the perspective of Occupational Health Psychology by Nestor Raúl Porras Velásquez, Laura Camila Parra D’aleman

“…The results show that personal characteristics (ideas of perfectionism, use of free time, need for social approval, feeling guilty, fear of losing work and generalized anxiety), along with the organizational characteristics of the job (tasks and responsibilities) and of employment in general, as well as the process of organizational socialization and the management of interpersonal relationships with commanders are triggers of addictive behavior. The conclusions indicate that the addictive behavior of the salaried workers of this educational institution is configured as an ineffective coping strategy (based on a set of obsessive ideas and compulsive behavior (repetitive and irrational) against the anguish and stress generated by the fear of losing work (perception of high job instability).…”

Review of image classification based on deep learning by Fu SU, Qin LV, Renze LUO

“…In recent years,deep learning performed superior in the field of computer vision to traditional machine learning technology.Indeed,image classification issue drew great attention as a prominent research topic.For traditional image classification method,huge volume of image data was of difficulty to process and the requirements for the operation accuracy and speed of image classification could not be met.However,deep learning-based image classification method broke through the bottleneck and became the mainstream method to finish these classification tasks.The research significance and current development status of image classification was introduced in detail.Also,besides the structure,advantages and limitations of the convolutional neural networks,the most important deep learning methods,such as auto-encoders,deep belief networks and deep Boltzmann machines image classification were concretely analyzed.Furthermore,the differences and performance on common datasets of these methods were compared and analyzed.In the end,the shortcomings of deep learning methods in the field of image classification and the possible future research directions were discussed.…”
