利己主义心理假说在经济学、心理学和生物学等学科中很常见。作为一个解释性模型，它包括亲社会行为，例如为远程的陌生人提供帮助。然而，慈善研究发现，关于捐助者自身利益诉求的有效性方面，结果喜忧参半。本文分析了在1921-1923年俄罗斯饥荒期间呼吁人道主义援助中个人利益的运用，并指出将历史经验系统纳入慈善研究的必要性。分析结论是，国际运动的具体情况有利于迎合捐助者的自身利益的广泛运用。本文建议，将这些需求分为四类--国家、经济、特定群体和心理--作为相似研究的分析工具。 关键词 利他主义，美国救济署，呼吁，人道主义，心理利己主义，救济，俄罗斯饥荒，救助儿童基金会，自身利益.

This method based on a wavelet decomposition of the field is efficient and accurate in simulating the long-range propagation of electromagnetic waves in the low troposphere. In this paper, to further improve the computational...
