Science-based, evidence-informed & non-judgmental motivations to change maladaptive habits

non-corrective approach to pronunciation

the aim of this study has been to find answers for the following questions: 1. what is the effect of immediate correction on students pronunciation errors? 2. what would be the effect of teaching the more rgular patterns of english pronunciation? 3. is there any significant difference between the two methods of dealing with pronuciation errore, i. e., correction and the teaching of the regular ...

Informed Finance and Technological Change: Evidence from Credit Relationships

This paper empirically investigates the effect of “informed finance” on technological change. We argue that the theoretical literature offers conflicting predictions on whether the information of financiers fosters or impedes firms’ innovation. Using data from a sample of Italian manufacturing firms, we find that the information of firms’ main banks, proxied by the duration of credit relationsh...

A non-judgmental reconstruction of drunken logic

We investigate the extension of previous work by Krishnaswami et al. in [6] on Handwaving Logic, a logic that can be effectively modeled by Fairtlough and Mendler’s Lax Logic [4], towards trying to achieve a reasonable formalization of ”drunken logic.” More advanced formalizations of drunken logic fail to be modeled effectively by lax logic, and we argue that much more study deserves to be paid...

Is it Possible to Change Prescribing Habits?

a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...
