The main purpose of this paper is to characterize and compare two forms any relativist thesis can take: indexical relativism and genuine relativism. Indexical relativists claim that the implicit indexicality of certain sentences is the only source of relativity. Genuine relativists, by contrast, claim that there is relativity not just at the level of sentences, but also at propositional level. ...

  Background: Conduction of thesis by the students is one of their major academic activities. Thesis quality and acquired experiences are highly dependent on the supervision. Our study is aimed at identifing the challenges in thesis supervision from both students and faculty members point of view.   Methods : This study was conducted using individual in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussi...

Recent experimental evidence fromdevelopmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience indicates that humans are equippedwith unlearned elementarymathematical skills. However, formal mathematics has properties that cannot be reduced to these elementary cognitive capacities. The question then arises how human beings cognitively deal with more advanced mathematical ideas. This paper draws on the ex...

The ability to determine the optimal frequencies and offsets for independent and unrestricted ordering cycles for multiple items can be very valuable for managing storage capacity constrained facilities in a supply chain. The complexity of this problem has resulted in researchers focusing on more tractable surrogate problems that are special cases of the base problem. This research has focused ...

background and purpose: the thesis provides an opportunity for the students to conduct a study and thus to get ready for future research cases. medical students have faced numerous challenges for their thesis including the selection of the subject, the study approval, equipment and supplies shortage and etc. we have conducted the present study to determine the attitude of medical interns toward...

Introduction: Today, progressing science and technology atall domains, including education and research, will bring newopportunities to resolve the communication and interactionproblems. The aim of this study was to determine potential factorsaffecting the thesis supervision and provide a web-based solution.Methods: This is a developmental study conducted in two<br...

A fundamental theorem of Büchi and Landweber shows that the Church synthesis problem is computable. Büchi and Landweber reduced the Church Problem to problems about ω-games and used the determinacy of such games as one of the main tools to show its computability. We consider a natural generalization of the Church problem to countable ordinals and investigate games of arbitrary countable length....

This paper discusses whether recent proposals for so-called hypercomputation would, if realised in practice, invalidate the Church–Turing thesis. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
