This is because, changes of puberty, rapid physical growth, and resulting sexual maturation that characterizes this age can trigger feelings of self-consciousness and awkwardness about body-image perceptions. In addition, the ＂perfect＂ body-image as dictated in the social culture could become a measure of self-worth, and this is capable of triggering negative self-image and social anxiety among adolescents. This study seeks to assess the incidence of negative self-image （preoccupation with real or imagined defect in physical appearance） and social anxiety characterized by fear of negative evaluation, among adolescents and young adults. Samples of 329 participants in the age range of 16-25 were drawn from the first and second years students of Federal University Wukari and University of Lagos, Nigeria. Participants completed a socio-demographic data sheet as well as NSII （Negative Self-Image Inventory） and revalidated version of FNE （Fear of Negative Evaluation）. Findings revealed that there is a correlation between negative self-image and fear of negative evaluation; males manifested higher symptoms of negative self-image than females; young adults aged 21-25 presented higher negative self-image that those aged 16-20, adolescents and young adults from Lagos metropolis experience higher manifestation of fear of negative evaluation than those from Wukari axis. This study therefore adds to knowledge in this area.展开更多

In view of these properties, this paper derives a clear sequencing formula for the new negative judgment matrix, which improves the sequencing principle of AHP. Finally, this new method is applied to personal credit evaluation to show its advantages of conciseness and swiftness.展开更多

From the database point of view, the procedural semantics of theprogram is equally important. This paper focuses on the study of the bottom-up eval-uation of the WFM semantics of datalog- programs. To compute the WFM, first, thestability transformation is revisited, and a new operator Op and its fixpoint are defined.Based on this, a fixpoint semantics, called oscillating fixpoint model semantics, is de-fined. Then, it is shown that for any datalog program the oscillating fixpoint model isidentical to its WFM. So, the oscillating fixpoint model can be viewed as an alternative(constructive) definition of WFM. The underlying operation (or transformation) forreaching the oscillating fixpoint provides a potential of bottom-up evaluation. For thesake of computational feasibility, the strongly range-restricted program is considered,and an algorithm used to compute the oscillating fixpoint is described.展开更多
