This paper deconstructs the definition of genocide provided for by Article II Genocide Convention with a view to assessing whether an expanding scope crime is possible. The current does not seem correspond original conception term, which finds its roots in Raphael Lemkin’s writings, “father” Convention. Lemkin envisaged three forms genocide, namely physical, biological, and cultural, so as conv...

This paper deals with the joint verification of the inequalities of Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens in Fuzzy Logic. Although the case of Modus Ponens was partially considered before, the case of Modus Tollens and the joint satisfaction of both inequalities are studied by the first time. The cases of R-implications, Simplications, Q-implications and MamdaniLarsen implications are separatedly cons...

Previous studies of uxoricide (wife murder) have tended to focus on the ratio of uxoricide to femicide (killing of women), prior histories of physical abuse, use of excessive force (“overkill”), and the role of estrangement as risk factors. However, little attention has been directed toward personality disorder in perpetrators of uxoricide and whether personality disorder relates to the modus o...

In sustainability science, the research is expected to go beyond disciplinary thinking and incorporate different concepts, methods, data explore nature–society interactions at levels scales. realizing these expectations, reflexivity often noted as an influential factor in inter- transdisciplinary processes wherein researchers reflect on their assumptions, judgments, roles, positions processes, ...

Two competing theories of processing of conditionals (if-then) were tested. Syntactic theories posit that people only draw inferences conforming to the logically valid modus ponens (MP) schema. Mental models theories predict that people draw MP and invalid affirming-the-consequent (AC) inferences. Three experiments tested these predictions. Participants read short stories that conformed to eith...

Reasoning with conditionals involving causal content is known to be affected by retrieval of alternative and disabling conditions. Recent evidence indicates that besides the number of stored conditions, the relative strength of association of the alternative conditions with the consequent term is another important factor that affects the retrieval process. In this study we examined the effect o...
