Dear Editor, A 35-year-old man presented with severe headache and left sided hemiparesis since one day prior to admission. He reported frequent bouts of oral and genital aphthous ulcers, an attack of deep venous thrombosis of left lower extremity, one episode of right knee arthritis, and several attacks of headache, neck rigidity, and fever. He had been a victim of mustard-gas poisoning at the ...

OBJECTIVE The authors evaluated the validity of trust in automation and information technology (IT) suspicion by examining their factor structure and relationship with decision confidence. BACKGROUND Research on trust has burgeoned, yet the dimensionality of trust remains elusive. Researchers suggest that trust is a unidimensional construct, whereas others believe it is multidimensional. Addi...

‖ Subsequently to the preceding article by Otto Meyerhof some words on Nelson’s significance for the philosophy of mathematics might be added. Nelson belonged to those philosophers whose way of thinking resulted from a familiarity with the spirit of the exact sciences. For him, mathematics and theoretical physics formed the methodical ideal that he strived to achieve in elaborating his philosop...

The aim of this research is to advance both the theoretical conceptualization and the empirical validation of trustworthiness in mHealth (mobile health) information services research. Conceptually, it extends this line of research by reframing trustworthiness as a hierarchical, reflective construct, incorporating ability, benevolence, integrity, and predictability. Empirically, it confirms that...

Neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies have demonstrated a role for the amygdala in processing the perceived trustworthiness of faces, but it remains uncertain whether its responses are linear (with the greatest response to the least trustworthy-looking faces), or quadratic (with increased fMRI signal for the dimension extremes). It is also unclear whether the trustworthiness of the stimul...

Advances in three aspects of computing, namely reachability, pervasiveness, and autonomy, lead to highly dynamic systems, whose components increasingly manage themselves. However, their security and trustworthiness must always be evaluated in the user’s context and in tight association with his personal goals and current preferences. Therefore, this paper defines an operator for policies to det...
