Abstract:

Attribute reduction is one of the most important problems in rough set theory. However, from the granular computing point of view, the classical rough set theory is based on a single granulation. It is necessary to study the issue of attribute reduction based on multigranulations rough set. To acquire brief decision rules from information systems, this paper firstly investigates attribute reductions by combining the multigranulations rough set together with evidence theory. Concepts of belief and plausibility consistent set are proposed, and some important properties are addressed by the view

Abstract:

Attitude preference plays an important role in multigranulation data mining and decision-making. That is, different attitude preferences lead to different results. At present, both optimistic and pessimistic multigranulation rough sets have been studied independently and thoroughly. But, sometimes, a decision-maker’s attitude may vary, which may shift either from an optimistic to pessimistic view of decision-making or from a pessimistic to optimistic view of decision-making. In this paper, we propose a novel multigranulation rough set model, which synthesizes optimistic and pessimistic attitud

Abstract:

One of the main differences between sentiment and infectious diseases is that the former one has two opposite infectious states: positive (optimistic) and negative (pessimistic), while the latter one has not. In this paper, based on the SISa model, we consider this issue and propose a new model of sentiment contagion called the SOSa-SPSa model. The results of both numerical and agent-based simulations show that our model could explain the process of sentiment contagion better than that of Hill et al. (2010). Further analysis shows that both the numbers of optimistic and pessimistic individuals

The article uses the Lunar QuickMap tool to analyze and select five highly promising cold microtraps on the Moon in terms of the size of the deposits they contain and their accessibility with the use of rovers and other wheeled vehicles. Since the thickness of the layer containing raw materials is subject to high uncertainty, three arbitrary scenarios for the value of this parameter were assumed: pessimistic (1 cm), nominal (5 cm), and optimistic (1 m). For the analyzed sites, a preliminary market valuation of the raw materials contained therein will be obtained at USD 74 billion; USD 370 bill

We considered the risk taking propensity as the main driving force and presented a heuristic method to reach the near to the optimal state.

ABSTRACT Equity analysts are often hired by firms they cover. I document the extent to which this revolving door phenomenon impairs analysts' independence.

I find that during their final year, revolving door analysts bias their EPS forecasts, their target prices, and their recommendations in a direction that suggests that they are attempting to gain favor from their prospective employers. Specifically, relative to other analysts, revolving door analysts issue

Abstract:

To improve reliability and the understanding of AI systems, there is increasing interest in the use of formal methods, e.g. model checking. Model checking tools produce a counterexample when a model does not satisfy a property. Understanding these counterexamples is critical for efficient debugging, as it allows the developer to focus on the parts of the program that caused the issue. To this end, we present a new technique that ascribes a responsibility value to each state in a transition system that does not satisfy a given safety property.

I considered the different views regarding the issues of possession, wealth and poverty in the fourth and fifth century. I focused on the concepts of the fifth-century theologian (St. Ambrose, the Bishop of Milan, St. Augustine the Bishop of Hippo), pioneers of the western monastic theology and also the earliest monastic theologians and the heterodox pelagianist writers. They regarded soteriological perspective of Christianity. In that early period the socio-economic view did not constitute a doctrine. We can distinguish two essential approaches to the issue of possession in the teaching of th

Abstract:

Communication relationship between humans and the environment has undergone evolution, from the ecocentric, transitional, anthropocentric, to the holistic stage. This study describes ecological issues based on Islamic communication science. The analytical method used is the philosophy of Islamic communication science and ecological philosophy. There are three basic principles in the philosophy of Islamic communication, namely the communicator (God), the communicant (human), and the community (nature). The method of analysis of ecological philosophy uses pessimistic and optimistic views. The fi

Abstract:

Issues related to the socio-political role of literature have always been one of the most important themes in the work of Hans Magnus Enzensberger. His notion of littérature engagée and its actual impact has changed from being optimistic in the earlier texts to being more pessimistic in his later work. This change can be read against the background of certain constants in his oeuvre, especially his view of literature as being nonconformist. This article aims to describe this change by referring to a number of relevant texts. In conclusion the role of “context” as a determining factor for the p

Abstract:

In this work we address the issue of parameter subset selection within the scope of activated sludge model calibration. To this end, we evaluate two approaches: (i) systems analysis and (ii) experience-based approach. The evaluation has been carried out using a dynamic model (ASM2d) calibrated to describe nitrogen and phosphorus removal in the Haaren WWTP (The Netherlands). The parameter significance ranking shows that the temperature correction coefficients are among the most influential parameters on the model output. This outcome confronts the previous identifiability studies and the experi

Abstract:

One of the liveliest debates in recent early modern Irish historiography has concerned the ‘failure’ of the Reformation in Ireland and when this occurred. Originally Professor Canny took issue with Dr. Brendan Bradshaw on this topic. Canny rejected Bradshaw’s thesis that the Reformation had failed in Ireland by 1558 and argued that counter-reformation catholicism only triumphed in the nineteenth century. Other contributions were then made to the debate by Dr. Alan Ford and later Karl Bottigheimer. Ford considered the 1590–1641 period as crucial, while Bottigheimer favoured the early seventeent

Abstract With the development of science and technology, a basically optimistic ideology of progress has emerged. This deterministic attitude has been challenged in recent decades as a result of harmful side-effects generated by the way technology and science have been approached and used.

The paper notes that over the past three decades Russian historical studies discusses a wide range of assessments of the course and consequences of the last modernization in the history of Russian Empire - both positive and negative. The paper shows that the study of the reforms during the late Imperial period led to the formation of two main approaches to their interpretation - pessimistic and optimistic. The paper conc

Abstract:

In the literature on African trade unions during decolonization and in the immediate post-independence period, two schools of thought can be distinguished: one is pessimistic about the unions' economic and political roles, and the other is optimistic. This study attempts to assess the role of autonomous teachers' trade unions in Anglophone Cameroon during the period 1959–72. The emergence, development and dissolution of these unions appears to have closely followed the region's political and educational reforms. It is argued that two main issues formed a constant source of conflict between the

In recent literature, it has regularly been suggested that, in his later years, Augustine of Hippo became more and more pessimistic with regard to marriage and sexuality. At the same time, Augustine was praised for his nuanced view on this issue in about 401, when he developed a middle position between the optimistic approach of Jovinian and the rather denigrating view of Jerome with regard to marriage. While Jovinian was of the opinion that (because of baptism) a life in abstinence and marriage were equally meritorious, Jerome developed an outspoken and negative view on marriage in favor of t

The dialectics of hope and hopelessness unfolds eco-consciousness in Cormac McCarthy's The Road. In the narrative, two unnamed characters embark on their journey through the devastated landscape in search of life supporting climate and safety. This paper examines how their journey oscillates between optimistic and pessimistic events. McCarthy's fiction implicitly attributes the natural disaster to human misdeeds. Going after material achievements and material greed, human beings are paying less attention towards ecological issues. They are interfering the course of nature and violating the web

The article attempts to reconstruct the system of ideological implications of the Siberian Notes journal published from 1916 to 1919 in Krasnoyarsk by Vl. M. Krutovsky, a follower of the ‘senior’ regionalists. One of Krutovsky’s main goals was to consolidate the local intelligentsia to solve social and political issues of the Siberian region. Unlike most other Siberian publications of that time, the first issue of Siberian Notes did not contain a program manifesto. That is why the study involves the entire corpus of the journal’s materials, considered as a metatext, to reconstruct ideological
