The implementor of an operating system service faces inherent dilemmas in choosing implementation strategies. A new approach to operating system design is emerging in which, rather than attempting to hide these dilemmas, they are exposed to clients, using a meta-protocols. Objectoriented programming techniques play an important role in enabling meta-protocols to expose these dilemmas to the cli...

Drawing on Goldsmith's (2004) normative theory, this article maps dilemmas family members experience when talking with returning service members (SMs) about seeking mental health care. Eighty family members of United States SMs who served in Iraq or Afghanistan read a scenario where their SM was displaying posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression symptoms. Participants described goals...

Security politics is everywhere, its tendrils entangled with every aspect of life. Nonetheless, this hyper-securitised status quo has not interrupted the flow everyday life, nor circulation people, goods, or ideas. For privileged world, a paradox emerged: war, terrorism, ecological disaster, pandemics, and many other ‘monstrous’ forms insecurity are now experienced as mundane manageable phenome...

This study aimed to clarify the dilemma of nurses working in general wards who face the ethical dilemma of restraining older people with dementia in Midwestern Japan. The study used the questionnaire method with an independently prepared questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to ensure privacy and anonymity. The privacy and anonymity of study participants was assured. Of the 340 survey q...

OBJECTIVES Our social cognition model posits that social knowledge and executive resources guide interpersonal decision making. We investigated this model by examining the resolution of standardised social dilemmas in patients with a social and executive disorder (SOC/EXEC) caused by frontotemporal dementia (FTD). METHODS Patients with SOC/EXEC (n = 12) and those with progressive aphasia (APH...

Background Transgender people face numerous obstacles to accessing adequate, affordable, and appropriate sexual reproductive health (SRH) services as outlined by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 3.7 target of achieving universal access SRH 2030. However, transgender sits a poorly researched area within public that makes it difficult understand current dilemmas facing SRH. This article repo...

Social dilemmas specify situations in which (local) egoistic utility optimization prevents achieving the (global) common good of a group. Tragically, in such dilemmas local optimization also reduces the payoff for the individual optimizer. Although social dilemmas essentially reflect inter-individual contexts (conflicting interests, moral attitudes, etc.), innerindividual dilemmas apparently sh...

A multiobjective security game problem with fuzzy payoffs is studied in this paper. The problem is formulated as a bilevel programming problem with fuzzy coefficients. Using the idea of nearest interval approximation of fuzzy numbers, the problem is transformed into a bilevel programming problem with interval coefficients. The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions is applied then to reduce the problem ...

We propose 'trans-omic' analysis for reconstructing global biochemical networks across multiple omic layers by use of both multi-omic measurements and computational data integration. We introduce technologies for connecting multi-omic data based on prior knowledge of biochemical interactions and characterize a biochemical trans-omic network by concepts of a static and dynamic nature. We introdu...
