Within information science, work on information credibility often focuses on generalized models of user assessment behavior and associated properties that mark credible information across document types, user groups, and communicative purposes. As conceptualized within the field of rhetoric, however, ethos, or a form of persuasive appeal that centers around a speaker’s believability, is situati...

Covid-19 has led to renewed public support for services. Frontline workers symbolize a ideal of service ethos (PSE), though little attention been paid how the managers delivering vital services interpret and mobilize PSE. We show PSE is implemented by reflecting their local contexts. examine theoretical roots challenges newer theories management before illustrating its contemporary manifestatio...

Authentication primitives should be simple, general, and robust against attack. We describe the authentication mechanisms of Ethos, an experimental, clean-slate operating system that has been designed for security. We reexamine and redesign software layering for authentication, and evaluate the resulting security properties. In Ethos, integrated network security and simplified local authenticat...

this paper provides a critical analysis of heidegger’s brief remarks in his “letter on humanism” in which he links ethics to ethos and ultimately to our relation to time and history. central to this analysis is the phrase of heraclitus, ēthos anthrōpōi daimōn, from which heidegger claims that human living (ethos) is inseparable from the event of appropriation (ereignis) which generates our hist...

The Open Science (OS) movement has been seen as an important facilitator for public participation in science. This has been underpinned by the assumption that widespread and free access to research outputs leads to (i) better and more efficient science, (ii) economic growth, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises wishing to capitalise on research findings and (iii) increased trans...

There is little evidence to demonstrate the impact on local health outcomes of spending that occurs outside the health care sector. We leveraged novel data from the US Census Bureau to measure the independent impact of a community's health and nonhealth expenditures on a broad measure of overall health-the County Health Rankings-over time. Using lagged longitudinal models that accounted for cor...

Programming languages have long incorporated type safety, increasing their abstraction level and thus aiding programmers. Type safety eliminates whole classes of bugs, avoiding the tedious and error-prone search for these bugs. Type-related bugs are particularly dangerous and often result in security holes because they violate programmer expectations. Despite its benefits, type safety protectio...
