The Bousso-Polchinski mechanism for discretely fine-tuning the cosmological constant favors a large bare negative cosmological constant. I argue (using generalizations of results of Klebanov and Tseytlin) that a similar mechanism for fine-tuning the scalar masses to small values favors a large bare negative (i.e. tachyonic) scalar mass. I comment briefly on the related issue of the role of low ...

This article discusses the discount rate to be used in projects that aimed at improving the environment. The model has two di¤erent goods, one is the usual consumption good whose production may increase exponentially, the other is an environmental good whose quality remains limited. The stylized world we describe is fully determined by four parameters, re‡ecting basic preferences "ecological" a...

The role of an intuitive cognitive style in project planning may be more complex than prior studies have allowed for. Therefore, we used a model of the role of environment in intuition and the relationships between intuition, reflexivity, and project outcomes (measured as project success and speed of completion) in order to examine how environment influences intuition; and whether reflexivity m...

The aim of this review was to understand the features and functions two apparently conflicting constructs “intuition” “mindfulness” with specific focus on problem solving. Literature published between 2010 2020 searched retrieved from data bases including Research Gate, PsycINFO, EBSCO, Crossref, Medline, PubMed Scopus, using key words “intuition”, “mindfulness”, “intuition solving”, “mindfulne...
