How secure is a Newtonian paradigm for psychological and educational measurement?

Noospheric Psychological-Educational Paradigm as a Methodological Basis for Teaching Russian-Language Business Communication to Foreign Students

In the context of the polyparadigmatic system of higher education, the noospheric psychological-pedagogical paradigm is considered, on its basis a lingvodidactic model is developed for the formation of professional-communicative competence (PCC) in Russian-language business communication among foreign students. The research focuses on the basic principles of the noospheric paradigm, which procl...

How Secure Is ERTMS?

This paper reports on the results of a security analysis of the European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) specifications. ERTMS is designed to be fail-safe and the general philosophy of ‘if in doubt, stop the train’ makes it difficult to engineer a train accident. However, it is possible to exploit the fail-safe behaviour of ERTMS and create a situation that causes a train to halt. Thu...

How Secure is Your System? Examining the Influence of Technical, Managerial, and Educational Controls on Users' Secure Behavior

Contextual models and the non-Newtonian paradigm.

Biological systems exhibit a wide range of contextual effects, and this often makes it difficult to construct valid mathematical models of their behaviour. In particular, mathematical paradigms built upon the successes of Newtonian physics make assumptions about the nature of biological systems that are unlikely to hold true. After discussing two of the key assumptions underlying the Newtonian ...

Postrelativity — A Paradigm For Quantization With Preferred Newtonian Frame

We define a new paradigm — postrelativity — based on the hypothesis of a preferred hidden Newtonian frame in relativistic theories. It leads to a modification of general relativity with ether interpretation, without topological problems, black hole and big bang singularities. Semiclassical theory predicts Hawking radiation with evaporation before horizon formation. In quantum gravity there is n...
