Decision makers typically integrate multiple pieces of information to make predictions and decisions. They also sometimes receive algorithmic advice, but often discount such advice. This usually results in less consistent accurate than consistently using the We hypothesized that individual differences on psychological traits as dutifulness (a facet conscientiousness), decision-making styles, pr...

Over the years, the emergence of innovative and revolutionary integration technologies (e.g. Enterprise Application Integration [EAI], Service Oriented Architecture [SOA] and more recently – Cloud Computing) has highly influenced the top management in their decision-making process – decisions that are imperative to transform Local Government Authorities (LGAs). LGAs that plan to adopt such inte...

CAPE Internet Talk was started as part of CAPE follow-up activities to continue ties with CAPE alumni and those who are interested in professional development in English teaching. It is hoped that this would increase our bond and aloha among former participants, and that the information in the TALK would help our alumni and friends/members review what they know and deepen their understanding of...

Eye tracking is used to investigate the procedures used in choice problems between two lotteries. Eye movement patterns in problems where the deliberation process is clearly identified are used to make inferences in problems where the deliberation process is less straightforward. The data provide little support for the hypothesis that decision makers use exclusively an expected utility type of ...

Reg Golledge was a pioneer of behavioural geography, an approach he championed for his entire career. In nearly 50 years of publications, he developed a consistent and coherent theoretical framework to support his view that the best way to understand the geographical world was to understand how people cognized the world around them and made choices and decisions on the basis of such knowledge. ...

In the last decade, the debate about the ontological foundations of reified temporal logics (RTLs) has been relatively quiet, even though we think some problems still exist. In this paper, we identify some of these problems and propose (partial) solutions to them in a FOL framework. States are here characterized (at the syntactic level) as truth-makers of propositions—they reify true propositio...

In the absence of adequate preventive measures the manufacture of carbon electrodes is attended by a considerable dust hazard. The present paper is based on a study of the clinical, radiological, and pathological changes resulting from inhalation of this dust, which is derived from crushed coke and anthracite. An account is given of the findings in a clinical survey of 15 men who had been emplo...

The article is primarily concerned with the notion of a truth-maker. An explication for this notion is offered, which relates it to other notions of making something such-andsuch. In particular, it is shown that the notion of a truth-maker is a close relative of a concept employed by van Inwagen in the formulation of his Consequence Argument. This circumstance helps understanding the general me...
