The present research paper seeks to ascertain whether students respond emotionally literature—as it is argued that the emotions experienced during reading help interpret literary texts. To end, study departs from an investigation of students’ personal responses only determine emotion-based exist in EFL context, thus answering central question guides this work: do affective literature exist? sta...

A major problem in the decision-making process is poor communication regarding threats and risks between information security experts and decision makers. By their nature, experts have a strong interest in operational details and limited insight into the purpose of the organization as they may not fully understand the mission and business. They are overusing System Language and System Thinking....

This paper tries to contribute to the well-known and lengthy discussion on whether we should allow decision makers to be inconsistent, or, to put it in another way, if intransitive decisions better represent their preferences. We will focus specifically on the multiple-criteria decision making problem, since it is one of the most usual stances where this intransitivity appears. Result from an e...

In this paper we study the implications of the recent high precision measurement of (g−2)μ by BNL [1] on new heavy physics beyond the SM. The effect of two d=6 operators on the anomalous magnetic momment of the muon is considered and the new physics contribution to aμ reported by BNL has been used to put bounds on the scale associated with these operators.

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a science and, therefore, involves progressive approaches and outcomes. In this commentary we argue that the spirit and the method of science should be maintained in order to avoid reductionist procedures, stifled innovation, and rote, unresponsive protocols that become increasingly removed from meaningful progress for individuals diagnosed with autism spectru...

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 ...
