In this paper we introduce the objective function for vertical partitioning in database systems. It has been built with the new evaluative criterion: cache hit probability. Testing the validity of the derived evaluative formula via program simulation shows its high accuracy.

This contribution highlights Eugene Garfield’s influences upon the author’s views and proposals. In addition, it presents the author’s perspective on the future of evaluative informetrics, based on his monograph Applied Evaluative Informetrics published in September 2017. It discusses main criticisms against the current practices in the use of informetric indicators in research assessment, and ...

This article introduces the Causal Attitude Network (CAN) model, which conceptualizes attitudes as networks consisting of evaluative reactions and interactions between these reactions. Relevant evaluative reactions include beliefs, feelings, and behaviors toward the attitude object. Interactions between these reactions arise through direct causal influences (e.g., the belief that snakes are dan...

Conventional practice within the United Kingdom and beyond is to conduct economic evaluations with "health" as evaluative space and "health maximization" as the decision-making rule. However, there is increasing recognition that this evaluative framework may not always be appropriate, and this is particularly the case within public health and social care contexts. This article presents a method...

Prior research provides evidence for aberrant cognition-emotion interactions in schizophrenia. In the current study, we aimed to extend these findings by administering the "distractor devaluation" task to 40 individuals with schizophrenia and 32 demographically matched healthy controls. The task consisted of a simple visual search task for neutral faces, followed by an evaluative response made ...

BACKGROUND It is important to know whether the relationships between experienced and evaluative well-being and health are consistent across countries with different income levels. This would allow to confirm whether the evidence found in high income countries is the same as in low- and middle-income countries and to suggest policy recommendations that are generalisable across countries. We asse...
