The main aim of my PhD thesis is to develop a theory for arguing in groups and apply it to allow agents in open MultiAgent societies to reach agreements by using argumentation. The thesis proposes a computational argumentation framework for agent societies. Also, a protocol that allows agents in multi-agent societies to engage in argumentation processes is also being developed. ACM Categories: ...

The long literature on intergenerational transmission of well-being has largerly been driven by concerns for inequality of opportunity and the persistence of low levels of wellbeing among certain social groups. A comparative strand of this literature seeks to compare indicators of these transmission mechanisms, i.e. mobility regimes, across societies, regions or time. In this paper I contribute...

Accordingly, key components (i.e., policies, services and structures related to the communities' physical and social environments) should be designed to be age-friendly and help all aging ad...

Being higher on the socio-economic scale is correlated with being in better health, but is there is a causal relationship? Using 3 years of longitudinal data for individuals aged 50 and older from the Canadian Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics, we study the health transitions for those who were in good health in the first year, focusing especially on income and education. The initial good he...

the mechanism by which bi-and trivalent cations affect human liver phosphatidatephosphohydrolase (pap) activity was investigated. bivalent cations up to 1 mm increased pap activity whereas at higher concentrations the activity of the enzyme decreased. the stimulatory concentration for trivalent cations such as al3+ and cr3+, however, was much lower being 2 m m and 1 m m, respectively. all catio...

heidegger in “being and time” analysed dasein’s existential for questioning about being. in this research studied the most fundamental existential, i.e. being- in- the- world on heidegger’s view. for this purpose, first paid to being- in and worldliness, and then studied tools for accessing to the world and its implication in education. after that in order to paying to the self based on being- ...

This paper draws on the German Socio-economic Panel Study (SOEP) to investigate whether changes in others’ income are perceived differently in post-transition and capitalist societies. We find that the neighbourhood income effect for West Germany is negative and slightly more marked in neighbourhoods where the neighbours interact socially. In contrast, the coefficients on neighbourhood income i...
