Economies around the world have become increasingly integrated, thereby enhancing productivity growth and expanding consumer choices. In many nations, globalization has been accompanied by an increase in living standard hardly imagined just a generation ago. But perceived consequences for income distribution, environmental quality, and national sovereignty have also made globalization the focus...

Applying the idea of soft set theory to lattice implication algebras, the novel concept of (implicative) filteristic soft lattice implication algebras which related to (implicative) filter(for short, (IF -)F -soft lattice implication algebras) are introduced. Basic properties of (IF -)F -soft lattice implication algebras are derived. Two kinds of fuzzy filters (i.e.(∈,∈ ∨qk)((∈,∈ ∨ qk))-fuzzy (...

Identifying with a group can contribute to a sense of well-being. The mechanisms involved are diverse: social identification with a group can impact individuals' beliefs about issues such as their connections with others, the availability of social support, the meaningfulness of existence, and the continuity of their identity. Yet, there seems to be a common theme to these mechanisms: identific...

Do areas with higher levels of social capital have stronger economies? Robert Putnam has advanced this proposition most recently in Bowling Alone, his magisterial study of civic engagement in the United States. Regrettably, he offers only anecdotal evidence to support his contention. Determining the empirical veracity of the economic implications of social capital is crucial to applying the con...

OBJECTIVE given sparse research on the issue, this study sought to shed light upon the interactions of alexithymia, emotion processing, and social anxiety in adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS 73 German adults with ADHD according to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria participated. We used the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) to assess alexithymia, the ...

In this paper, every monadic implication algebra is represented as a union of a unique family of monadic filters of a suitable monadic Boolean algebra. Inspired by this representation, we introduce the notion of a monadic implication space, we give a topological representation for monadic implication algebras and we prove a dual equivalence between the category of monadic implication algebras a...

We introduce the concepts of pre-implication algebra and implication algebra based on orthosemilattices which generalize the concepts of implication algebra, orthoimplication algebra defined by J.C. Abbott [2] and orthomodular implication algebra introduced by the author with his collaborators. For our algebras we get new axiom systems compatible with that of an implication algebra. This unifie...
