CONSISTENT OR INCONSISTENT? THE EFFECTS OF INDUCING COGNITIVE DISSONANCE VS. COGNITIVE CONSONANCE ON THE INTENTION TO ENGAGE IN PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIORS

How do individuals rationalize the cognitive dissonance between their environmental awareness and the maintenance of environmentally unfriendly behaviors? The main goal is to explore the rationalization strategies used by strapu individuals in order to maintain their current behaviors.The secondary goal is to understand if it is possible to induce

The gut microbiota alternations are associated with gestational anemia (GA); however, limited predictive value for the subsequent incidence of anemia in normal gestational women has been obtained.We sought to rigorously characterise gut dysbiosis in subjects with GA and explored the potential predictive value of novel microbial signatures for the r

PT-Symmetry is one of the interesting topics in quantum mechanics and optics.One of the demonstration of PT-Symmetric effects in optics is appeared in the nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC).In the paper we numerically investigate the stability of temporal bright solitons propagate in a PT-Symmetric NLDC by considering gain in bar and loss in cros
