Referential dependencies between conflicting attitudes
No full textA number of puzzles about propositional attitudes in semantics and philosophy revolve around apparent referential dependencies between different attitudes within a single agent’s mental state. In a series of papers, Hans Kamp (2003… 2015) offers a general framework for describing such interconnected attitude complexes, building on DRT and dynamic semantics. I demonstrate that Kamp’s proposal cannot deal with referential dependencies between semantically conflicting attitudes, such as those in Ninan’s puzzle about de re imagination. To solve the problem I propose to replace Kamp’s treatment of attitudes as context change potentials with a two-dimensional analysis
PENGUNGKAPAN ISLAMIC SOCIAL REPORTING PADA INDEKS SAHAM SYARIAH INDONESIA
Get PDFIslamic Social Responsibility (ISR) is a measure of social responsibility implementation of Islamic banking which contains a compilation of items of CSR standards set by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). This study aims to examine empirically and analyze the effect of firm size, profitability, leverage and board size to disclosure of Islamic social reporting.The research sample using purposive sampling where the sampling is based on certain criteria, obtained a sample 39 companies. Methods of data analysis used in this study using linear regression, t test, F test, classic assumption and the coefficient of determination. The results showed that the Board of Independent Commissioners significant and positive impact on the ISR Size. Other results show thay Profitability and Leverage no significant effect on ISR
ANALISIS BENTUK ADOPSI INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARD (IFRS) DALAM KONTEKS INSTITUSIONAL (STUDI EMPIRIS 30 NEGARA BERKEMBANG PERIODE 2006 - 2015)
Get PDFThe purpose of this research is to analyzing adoption of international financial reporting standard in countries based on three institutional isomorphism perspective. This research used foreign aid as the proxy of coersive isomorphism and foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment, as the proxy of mimetic isomorphism, and the last to analyze normative isomorphism this research used educational quality as proxy. This research used 30 countries as the sample with ten years observation that start from 2006 to 2015. To analyze hyphotesis this research used logistic regression with SPSS version 23. This research find that foreign aid as the proxy of coersive isomorphism has a significant influence on the country's probability to fully adopting IFRS, then other result showed that educational quality as the proxy of normative isomorphism has a significant influence on the country's probability to fully adopting IFRS. This reseacrh did not show that foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment as the proxy of mimetic isomorphism has a significant influence on the country's probability to fully adopting IFRS. Keywords: Foreign aid, foreign direct investment, foreign portfolio investment, educational quality, IFRS adoptio
A bilingual advantage in task switching? Age-related differences between German monolinguals and Dutch-Frisian bilinguals
No full textThis study investigated whether lifelong bilingualism can be associated with enhanced executive control, particularly mental flexibility, and with a modulation of an age-related decline in these functions. We compared performance of middle-aged and elderly speakers of German and bilingual speakers of Dutch and Frisian in a cued task-switching paradigm. All bilinguals were fluent in the same, closely-related language pairs. Bilinguals incurred significantly lower switching costs than monolinguals, and elderly bilinguals were less affected by an age-related increase in switching costs than monolinguals. Bilinguals did not differ from monolinguals in the size of the mixing costs. Our findings suggest that lifelong bilingualism correlates with enhanced ability to shift between mental sets, as well as increased resistance to proactive interference. The fact that we found significant group differences – while some previous studies did not – may be attributable to the choice of our task and to the cognateness of the languages involved
Lean Public Water Supply
No full textThe quantity and quality of water delivered and used by households is an important aspect of domestic water supplies, influencing hygiene and thus public health. Fresh, clean water is commonly taken for granted as a basic commodity in most European countries. Typically, the primary goal of public water supply organizations, e.g. in the Netherlands, Ireland, or Sweden, is to achieve consumer satisfaction through high service levels. Service level is indicated by the amount of downtime (lack of water) experienced by customers. Downtime in water supply can occur due to several foreseen (e.g. scheduled maintenance work) or unforeseen reasons due to disruptions (e.g. quality issues, but usually pipe breakages). Organizations use proactive planning to try to avoid unforeseen disruptions by employing redundant resources (additional pipelines, pumps, water sources, employees, etc.). This prevents disturbances from reaching the final customer. In addition, maintenance activities are used to detect possible weaknesses in the system in advance. Yet not all events can be proactively planned for. A variety of restrictions hinder the ability of the water supply organization to engage in proactive maintenance activities to try to avoid unforeseeable disruptions, e.g. the relative inaccessibility of the distribution network due to its underground location

No full textTowards Optimal Control of Evolutionary Games on Networks
No full textWe investigate the control of evolutionary games on networks, in which each edge represents a two-player repeating game between neighboring agents. Aftereach round of games, agents can update their strategies based on local payoff and strategy information, while a subset of agents can be assigned strategies and thus serve as control inputs. We seek here the smallest set of control agents needed to drive the network to a desired uniform strategy state. After presenting exact solutions for complete and star networks and describing a general solution approach that is computationally practical only for small networks, we design a fast algorithm for approximating the solution on arbitrary networks using a weighted minimum spanning tree and strategy propagation algorithm.We showthat the resulting approximation is exact for certain classes of games on complete and star networks. Finally, simulations demonstrate that the algorithm yields near-optimal solutions in more general cases, although it performs bestfor coordination games
Greening democracy:The anti-nuclear movement and political environmentalism in West Germany and beyond, 1968-1983
No full textGreening Democracy explains how nuclear energy became a seminal political issue and motivated new democratic engagement in West Germany during the 1970s. Using interviews, as well as the archives of environmental organizations and the Green party, the book traces the development of anti-nuclear protest from the grassroots to parliaments. It argues that worries about specific nuclear reactors became the basis for a widespread anti-nuclear movement only after government officials' unrelenting support for nuclear energy caused reactor opponents to become concerned about the state of their democracy. Surprisingly, many citizens thought transnationally, looking abroad for protest strategies, cooperating with activists in other countries, and conceiving of 'Europe' as a potential means of circumventing recalcitrant officials. At this nexus between local action and global thinking, anti-nuclear protest became the basis for citizens' increasing engagement in self-governance, expanding their conception of democracy well beyond electoral politics and helping to make quotidian personal concerns political. Explores links between environmentalism and 'high politics', offering new insights into the democratization of post-war Germany Includes specific local case studies and interviews with activists in order to explore the roots of anti-nuclear protest Will appeal to academics of environmental history and post-war European history, by placing Germany's environmental movement and Green party in a wider regional context</p
Games and Online Research Methods
No full textIn this chapter we have introduced research in, on, and using games to non-game researchers. Gaming is very much a social activity, or as Huizinga (1938/1955) would call it, the essence of being human. Computer gaming is part of that. It is part of social life and may form or reinforce existing ties. It also can be used to study social life – interaction patterns, economic behavior, the forming of organizational structures, the origin of systems of norms, etc. The availability of data on many of these processes is higher in the digital world than in the non-digital world, and in the case of gaming we can even build games to produce data on the processes we are interested in, replacing lab studies. The ubiquity of games and their social side effects also means that research on non-digital social life needs to pose the question of whether gaming interaction is to be considered part of the explanans or explanandum of what is being studied
