The authors propose a new model for count time series based on a hybrid structure that combines an autoregressive component with an innovation-driven component, where regime selection at each time point is governed by a latent Markov process. The key novelty of the model is the introduction of an additional, independent latent process that dynamica...

Within the ATMOLCOL project, experimental investigations of electron–molecule collisions increasingly require theoretical input capable of clarifying the molecular mechanisms that lead to fragmentation. The work presented here contributes to this effort through the development of a computational model aimed at simulating fragmentation of mole...

Fragmentation of molecular cations formed by electron-impact ionization is governed primarily by the redistribution of internal energy deposited during the collision event. A detailed understanding of how this energy drives the transition from bound vibrational motion to irreversible bond cleavage is essential for interpreting energy-resolved fragm...

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) has important uses in medicine as inhalation anesthetic molecule, industry and major environmental impact. N2O, whose life is about 116 ± 9 years (Feng and Li, 2023) has beenthe predominant ozone-depleting substance throughout this century. Reportedly, in terms of ozone-depleting potentials (ODP), in 2020, the ODP-...

The subject of this paper is a combined integer-valued autoregressive time series model with both positive and negative values, constructed by means of a new thinning operator. The proposed model can be regarded as a precursor of random environment integer-valued INAR models with state space on the entire set , providing a flexible framework for mo...

This review paper explores the role of the life script, a concept from transactional analysis, in the formation of individual attitudes. Attitudes, understood as relatively stable cognitive, affective, and behavioral tendencies toward objects, people, or phenomena, are not solely shaped by rational processes but are often rooted in early childhood ...

Man, since the earliest times, established two taboos: the taboo of incest and the taboo of killing, which shows how much importance has always been attached to aggressive behavior and destruction. When we talk about aggression and its motivation and consequences, it should be emphasized that it is the subject of interest primarily in forensics, bu...

Dreams occupy a central place in classical psychoanalytic theories, where they are seen as meaningful expressions of unconscious psychic processes. In the Freudian and Jungian theoretical tradition, dreams are viewed as an important source of insight into the inner psychic dynamics of an individual, whereby their interpretation and integration are ...
