Resumen
First Chapter - While mainstream decision theory only allows for variations in the severity of uncertainty, the plurality of labels with which uncertainty has been referred to in the literature and the variety of doubts that decision makers can have seem to suggest that there are different types of uncertainty. Given the importance that uncertainty has in almost any decision, understanding this plurality can be helpful to decide effectively. I propose an account of uncertainty as based on a disagreement between reasons supporting alternative mental attitudes. Under this account, dealing with

Service, in general term is a type of economic activity where the consumers utilize labour and/or expertise of others to perform a specific task. The birth and continued growth of the Internet provide a new medium for services to be delivered, and enable services to become widely and readily available. In recent years, the Internet has become an important platform to provide services to the end users.

Resumen
In this thesis, the problem of motion planning under uncertainty is explored. Motion planning under uncertainty is important since even with noise during the execution of the plan, it is desirable to keep the collision risk low. However, for the motion planning to be useful it needs to be possible to perform it in a reasonable time. The introduction of state uncertainty leads to a substantial increase in search time due to the additional dimensions it adds to the search space. In order to alleviate this problem, different approaches to pruning of the search space are explored. The initial appr

Resumen
This dissertation extends contemporary views about uncertainty. It does so through a reading of the role of uncertainty in the political thought of two modern philosophers, Baruch Spinoza and David Hume. Despite uncertainty's notable and multi-disciplinary appeal in the academic literature, the frame in which most scholars think about social and political uncertainty is one-sided. On the whole, contemporary scholars consider uncertainty as a problem in need of a remedy. In the social sciences uncertainty is transformed into risk in order to empirically calculate risk probabilities. The hope

Sometimes, this uncertainty arises out of empirical uncertainty: we might not know to what extent non-human animals feel pain, or how much we are really able to improve the lives of distant strangers compared to our family members.

Resumen
Uncertainties in nuclear model responses must be quantified to define safety limits, minimize costs and define operational conditions in design. Response uncertainties can also be used to provide a feedback on the quality and reliability of parameter evaluations, such as nuclear data. The uncertainties of the predictive model responses sprout from several sources, e.g. nuclear data, model approximations, numerical solvers, influence of random variables. It was proved that the largest quantifiable sources of uncertainty in nuclear models, such as neutronics and burnup calculations, are the nucl

Resumen
Supply chain uncertainty is a key issue that affects firm competitiveness (1993; Yang et al., 2004); and, therefore, identifying the major sources of uncertainty within supply chains and developing strategies to manage them is an important challenge (Sabri & Beamon, 2000). There is an emerging literature on supply chain uncertainty but additional empirical research is required to further develop understanding of this phenomenon. This leads to an important research question to explore what sources of uncertainty can be identified in practice, what are the dimensions of these sources, and how ca

Modeling and simulations of large-scale systems are used extensively to not only better understand a natural phenomenon, but also to predict future events. Accurate model results are critical for design optimization and policy making. They can be used effectively to reduce the impact of a natural disaster or even prevent it from happening. In reality, model predictions are often affected by uncertainties in input data and model parameters, and by incomplete knowledge of the underlying physics. A deterministic simulation assumes one set of input conditions, and generates one result without cons

In the first article we review existing theories of uncertainty. We devote particular attention to the relation between metacognition, uncertainty and probabilistic expectations. We also analyse the role of natural language and communication for the emergence and resolution of states of uncertainty. We hypothesize that agents feel uncertainty in relation to their levels of expected surprise, which depends on probabilistic expectations-gaps elicited during communication processes. Under this framework above tolerance levels of expected surprise can be considered informative signals. These signa

I employ reduced form VAR and local projections (Jordá, 2005) to explore the differences in wait-and-see effect of uncertainty on the real economy. Surprises in either index lead to significant declines in production and employment and the effect is larger and persistent in the case of RSS shocks than EPU.
