We present a novel theory of action and change capable of dealing with discord between an agent’s beliefs and the results of its sensing. Previous work by Scherl and Levesque [9] and Shapiro et al. [10] have given accounts of iterated belief update and revision, and the ability to deal with mistaken beliefs. However, they assume that all actions, including exogenous actions beyond the agent’s c...

Orientation: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced millions of employees to work from home as governments implemented lockdowns. Research purpose: This study examined the impact working exclusively on employee engagement and experience, determined beneficial distracting factors. Motivation for study: Remote trends have risen steeply since onset are unlikely taper off soon. Organisations need underst...

Diagnosis is arguably the cornerstone of medicine. Without at least some form of diagnosis the practice of medicine would not be possible. This narrative review explores common philosophical assumptions and challenges the notion that a certain diagnosis can ever be made. The idealistic concept of "primum non nocere" is discussed, and whether the utilitarian goal of achieving "the greatest happi...

Molodtsov introduced the concept of soft sets, which can be seen as a new mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. In this paper, we initiate the study of soft congruence relations by using the soft set theory. The notions of soft quotient rings, generalized soft ideals and generalized soft quotient rings, are introduced, and several related properties are investigated. Also, we obtain a...

The all pairs shortest path problem is a class of the algebraic path problem. Many parallel algorithms for the solution of this problem appear in the literature. One of the efficient parallel algorithms on W-RAM model is given by Kucera[17]. Though efficient, algorithms written for the W-RAM model of parallel computation are too idealistic to be implemented on the current hardware. In this repo...
