This article addresses the emergence of “lowest-low” fertility in some countries, primarily in Southern Europe and East Asia, and poses the question of why we find such large differences in birth rates across postindustrial societies. A set of macro– micro mechanisms are identified, which are examined empirically using comparative data for seven countries from the Gender and Generations Survey....

In this short note we address the issue of expressing norms (such as obligations and prohibitions) in temporal logic. In particular, we address the argument from [1] that norms cannot be expressed in Linear Time Temporal Logic (LTL). Recently, doubts were raised in [1] regarding suitability of LTL and other temporal logics for expressing ‘real life’ norms. We claim that the argument in [1] does...

Project was initiated, under the leadership of John Ware of the Health Institute at Boston's New England Medical Center. Its goals were to translate and validate, and obtain normative data using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36), a generic measure of health status or health-related quality of life for use in international studies. 1 At that time, parts of the IQOLA Project w...

In this paper we will introduce a method for creating computational models of normative systems deduced from sources of norms in natural language. The authors show how to make formal interpretations of normative sources in natural language that result in a computational model, which includes explicit references to all sentences of sources of norms that are considered relevant by the interpreter...

DeepTingle is a text prediction and classification system trained on the collected works of the renowned fantastic gay erotica author Chuck Tingle. Whereas the writing assistance tools you use everyday (in the form of predictive text, translation, grammar checking and so on) are trained on generic, purportedly “neutral” datasets, DeepTingle is trained on a very specific, internally consistent b...

Abstract In this paper, I outline and defend the view that variations in compliance levels with one same norm represent different norms about following . support of claim, first argue classic game-theoretic accounts, which define as Nash equilibria noncooperative games, typically consider separate norms. After that, suggest a more fine-grained, distinction accounts for degrees show how to incor...
