Online grooming is an activity that leads to sexual abuse of children. For this reason a number of pieces of legislation governing grooming have been created on international and national levels. The present paper discusses a specific case that has received a lot of public attention and been regarded as a high-profile grooming case in Sweden. This particular case is of special interest for the ...

This paper explores the implications of the incompressibility of complex systems for the analysis and modelling of such systems. In particular, a provisional epistemology (theory of knowledge) will be developed that attempts to remain faithful to the limitations derived from this aspect of complexity science. We will argue that such an investigation of complex systems highlights the relevance o...

the critique of architecture has always followed architects and those involved in this field and is in fact quite indispensable from it. therefore before going around asking why it is so, it seems appropriate to ask ourselves the how. conceding to the fact that the ultimate goal in the critique of architecture is to discover a specific style with which to think about architecture, the main ques...

In this paper an attempt Is made to present Skolem's argument forthe relativity of some set-theoretical notions as a sensible one. Skolem's critiqueof set theory is seen as part of a larger argument to the effect that no conclusiveevidence has been given for the existence of uncountable sets. Some replies toSkolem are discussed and are shown not to affect Skolem's position, sinc...

Hume's is/ought distinction has long limited the role of empirical research in ethics, saying that data about what something is cannot yield conclusions about the way things ought to be. However, interest in empirical research in ethics has been growing despite this countervailing principle. We attribute some of this increased interest to a conceptual breakdown of the is/ought distinction. MacI...

This paper investigates the contribution of stakeholder collaboration during an open source software migration using a case study. The case study is based on the Presidential National Commission, a South African government department that migrated from proprietary software to open source software in 2007. The organization was one of the few that migrated to open source software as part of a Sou...

The analysis presented in 1972 by R. F. Q. Johnson, B. A. Maher, and T. X. Barber indicated that nonhypnotic 5s manifest trance logic as often as "real" hypnotic 5s. E. R. Hilgard's 1972 critique contended that the analysis was misleading because only those 5s should have been included in the analysis who met the stringent criterion for hallucination. This paper shows that when one includes in ...
