Hall, B.; Schmidt, K.; Wagge, J.; Lewis, S. C.; Weissgerber, S. C.; Kiunke, F.; Pfuhl, G.; Stieger, S.; Tran, U. S.; Barzykowski, K.; Bogatyreva, N.According to the justified true belief (JTB) account of knowledge, people can truly know something only if they have a belief that is both justified and true (i.e., knowledge is JTB). This account was challenged by Gettier, who argued that JTB does not explain knowledge attributions in certain situations, later called “Gettier-type cases,” wherein protagonists are justified in believing something to be true, bu...

Sorokowski, P.; Kowal, M.; Sternberg, R. J.; Aavik, T.; Akello, G.; Alhabahba, M. M.; Alm, C.; Amjad, N.; Anjum, A.; Asao, K.; Atama, C. S.Recent cross-cultural and neuro-hormonal investigations have suggested that love is a near universal phenomenon that has a biological background. Therefore, the remaining important question is not whether love exists worldwide but which cultural, social, or environmental factors influence experiences and expressions of love. In the present study, we explored whether countries’ modernization indexes are related ...
A global experiment on motivating social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic

R.; Arriaga, P.Finding communication strategies that effectively motivate social distancing continues to be a global public health priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-country, preregistered experiment (n = 25,718 from 89 countries) tested hypotheses concerning generalizable positive and negative outcomes of social distancing messages that promoted personal agency and reflective choices (i.e., an autonomy-support...

Sá da; Kowal, M.The present paper is concemed with the application of a hierarchical structure of fuzzy newal networks (HSFNN) to fault isolation on a pneumatic servo-motor actuated valve that is the benchmark considered for all the DAMADICS (Development and Application of Methods for Actuator Diagnosis in IndusIrial Control Systems) project partners. The adoption of a hierarchical structure of fuzzy newal netwoIks for fault i...
