This study examined the relationships of mentoring and satisfaction with mentoring with work attitudes of nurses and the moderating roles of gender and social support in the relationships. Questionnaires were used to collect data on mentoring, satisfaction with mentoring, social support (from friends, family, professional association members, co-workers and supervisors) work attitudes, (job inv...

This research adopts a brand relationship perspective to investigate how users of a social network site (e.g., Facebook and Twitter) perceive the quality of their relationship with those sites and their intention to continue to use them, as well as the intention to continue using the hosted brands that they “follow” through the social network site. In addition, the role of matching a user’s per...

This paper deals with the problem of the aggregation of implication functions. After characterizing those binary operations which merge two implication functions into a new implication function, we study some aspects of the aggregated implication functions in terms of the two given ones. In particular, we are interested in aggregation processes such that properties of the implication functions ...

With the steady development of online education and online learning environments, possibilities to support social interactions between students have advanced significantly. This study examined the relationship between indicators of social presence and academic performance. Social presence is defined as students' ability to engage socially with an online learning community. The results of a mult...

General Epistemic Logics suffer from the problem of logical omniscience, which is that an agent’s knowledge and beliefs are closed under implication. There have been many attempts to solve the problem of logical omniscience. However, according to our intuition, sometimes an agent’s knowledge and beliefs are indeed closed under implication. Based on the notion of awareness, we introduce two kind...

This study examines social actor attribution to mobile phones in general settings and travel context. Informed by attribution theory and computing technology continuum of perspective model, the hypothesized relationships between social characteristics of mobile phones, users’ core selfevaluation, and social actor attribution to mobile phones were tested to determine the locus of causality of pe...

in this paper, the notion of fuzzy semicompactness degrees isintroduced in $l$-fuzzy topological spaces by means of theimplication operation of $l$. characterizations of fuzzysemicompactness degrees in $l$-fuzzy topological spaces  areobtained, and some properties of fuzzy semicompactness degrees areresearched.

in this paper, we firstly show that the $n$-dual operation of the right residual implication, which is induced by a left-conjunctive right arbitrary $vee$-distributive left semi-uninorm, is the right residual coimplication induced by its $n$-dual operation. as a dual result, the $n$-dual operation of the right residual coimplication, which is induced by a left-disjunctive right arbitrary $wedge...
