This essay considers methodological aspects of computer ethics and argues for a multi-level interdisciplinary approach with a central role for what is called disclosive computer ethics. Disclosive computer ethics is concerned with the moral deciphering of embedded values and norms in computer systems, applications and practices. In the methodology for computer ethics research proposed in the es...

The Higher-Order Uniication approach to ellipsis presented in DSP91] lacks an interface with linguistic modules other than semantics. As a result, it cannot handle such phenomena as the many-pronouns puzzle or the distinction between full and pronominal NPs. In this paper, we extend GK96]'s Higher-Order Coloured Uniication approach to handle those cases.

Multi-level modeling is considered to provide advancements over the traditional modeling approaches. It is applicable, among others, to scenarios where more than two classification levels are required and a rigid dichotomy between classes and objects needs to be relaxed. As the Model-Based User Interface Development (MBUID) inherently encompasses more than two classification levels, there are c...

Simple experiments are indispensible part of physics teachers’ repertoire. Simple experiments are met in various activities ranging from demonstrations to home experiments, as a base for active learning methods, for student projects or even as a base for competitions. But there is more than that. Carefully selected simple experiments offer also a great opportunity to be presented as sequences o...

This paper presents a multi-level framework and road map to guide the therapeutic process. Starting with the couple's reactive pattern, the multi-level approach first orients the therapist on how to create a "holding environment." It then suggests how the therapist, in collaboration with the couple, can proceed to explore interactional, sociocultural/ organizational, intrapsychic, and intergene...

Collective decision-making processes emerge from social feedback networks within a group. Many studies on collective behaviour underestimate the role of individual personality and, as a result, personality is rarely analysed in the context of collective dynamics. Here, we show evidence of sheltering behaviour personality in a gregarious insect (Periplaneta americana), which is characterized by ...
