Introduction: Parents are such important members of the cochlear-implant team that analysis of their views is essential in orderto improve services and outcomes. The authors developed a tool to assess parental attitudes towards various aspects of cochlear implantation in children who had passed aural rehabilitation sessions. The authors then went on to determine the validity and reliability of ...

Throughout the last decade, there has been an increased interest in various forms of dynamic epistemic logics to model the flow of information and the effect this flow has on knowledge in multi-agent systems. This enterprise, however, has mostly been applicationally and semantically driven. This results in a limited amount of proof theory for dynamic epistemic logics. In this paper, we try to c...

BACKGROUND Research has shown the importance of careful teacher support during collaborative group work to promote productive discourse between students (Webb, 2009). However, this research has traditionally focused on face-to-face communication. The role of online teacher guidance of small-group computer-mediated discussions has received little attention, especially in secondary school classro...

Starting from an acknowledgment of the plurality of epistemic motivations driving phenotype representations, our main contribution is a distinction between six categories of human agents as individuals and groups focused around particular epistemic interests. We analyse the corresponding impact of these groups and individuals on representation types, mapping and reasoning scenarios, using the e...

We consider the problem of updating nonmonotonic knowledge bases represented by epistemic logic programs where disjunctive information and notions of knowledge and belief can be explicitly expressed. We propose a formulation for epistemic logic program update based on a principle called minimal change and maximal coherence. The central feature of our approach is that during an update or a seque...

This paper reviews a number of foundational results at the intersection of epistemic logic, decision and game theory. It first presents a decisiontheoretic underpinning of epistemic analysis in terms of modal operators. Then it moves to the theory of strategic interaction, and show how this kind of epistemic analysis sheds light on the assumptions underlying wellknown solution concepts, both fo...

 COVID-19 as a Threat to Various Aspects of the Health of Women with Breast Cancer

Extensive research on students’ understanding of science has documented persistent shortfalls at all ages. One way to account for students’ difficulties is to consider the particular challenges posed by individual science concepts. This article offers an alternative view. We argue that students’ difficulties in large part reflect unfamiliarity with a small number of causal modeling styles chara...
