Emo-jional rescue: Researchers create tool to measure the emotion in emojis ubcnews
guidelines, these values can be considered good for negativity, disgust, sadness, anger, fear, and joy, adequate for positivity and trust, and inadequate for surprise and anticipation.The current research presents the development and initial psychometric evaluation of the MLE. For 359 of the most commonly used emojis, this new lexicon produces scores on eight emotions , as well as positive and negative sentiment.
Overall, the 359 emojis included the MLE displayed strong consistency in their emotional connotations across three separate time points, over a 17-month period. This is noteworthy given previous suggestions that emojis may take on new meanings over time and across demographic groups . The stability of the MLE scores was particularly impressive for positive emotions such as joy , and positive sentiment overall .
Findings from Study 2 also revealed a high level of agreement between the emotion ratings of emojis generated from Study 1 and those obtained from a sample of over 2000 human raters . Agreement was particularly high for joy, negative emotions , and negative sentiment . On the other hand, agreement between human raters and scores on the MLE was quite low for surprise and anticipation .
The current research demonstrates that researchers are likely missing out on important emotional information by failing to include emojis in their analyses. For example, in, both disgust tweets received a disgust score of 5 when analyzed without emojis, but they received scores of 5.10 and 8.19 when the MLE was used to incorporate the emotional content of emojis.

Multidimensional associations between nutrient intake and healthy ageing in humans - BMC BiologyBackground Little is known about how normal variation in dietary patterns in humans affects the ageing process. To date, most analyses of the problem have used a unidimensional paradigm, being concerned with the effects of a single nutrient on a single outcome. Perhaps then, our ability to understand the problem has been complicated by the fact that both nutrition and the physiology of ageing are highly complex and multidimensional, involving a high number of functional interactions. Here we apply the multidimensional geometric framework for nutrition to data on biological ageing from 1560 older adults followed over four years to assess on a large-scale how nutrient intake associates with the ageing process. Results Ageing and age-related loss of homeostasis (physiological dysregulation) were quantified via the integration of blood biomarkers. The effects of diet were modelled using the geometric framework for nutrition, applied to macronutrients and 19 micronutrients/nutrient subclasses. We observed four broad patterns: (1) The optimal level of nutrient intake was dependent on the ageing metric used. Elevated protein intake improved/depressed some ageing parameters, whereas elevated carbohydrate levels improved/depressed others; (2) There were non-linearities where intermediate levels of nutrients performed well for many outcomes (i.e. arguing against a simple more/less is better perspective); (3) There is broad tolerance for nutrient intake patterns that don’t deviate too much from norms (‘homeostatic plateaus’). (4) Optimal levels of one nutrient often depend on levels of another (e.g. vitamin E and vitamin C). Simpler linear/univariate analytical approaches are insufficient to capture such associations. We present an interactive tool to explore the results in the high-dimensional nutritional space. Conclusion Using multidimensional modelling techniques to test the effects of nutrient intake on physiological dysregulation in an aged population, we identified key
