This chapter reviews the SWFL approach to social choice. It does not attempt to be a complete and systematic survey of existing results, but to give a critical assesment of the main axioms and their role in filtering the ethically relevant information, in particular the measurability and comparability properties of individual evaluation functions. Social welfare functionals are defined formally...

Subjectivity analysis is a rapidly growing field of study. Along with its applications to various NLP tasks, much work have put efforts into multilingual subjectivity learning from existing resources. Multilingual subjectivity analysis requires language-independent criteria for comparable outcomes across languages. This paper proposes to measure the multilanguage-comparability of subjectivity a...

The present article discusses and presents a new and comprehensive approachaimed at measuring the maturity and quality of software processes. This method has beendesigned on the basis of the Software Capability Maturity Model (SW-CMM) and theMulti-level Fuzzy Inference Model and is used as a measurement and analysis tool. Among themost important characteristics of this method one can mention si...

Purpose – This research aims to study and investigate the relationship between audit style earnings comparability. Also, examines influence of some firm-specific characteristics, as moderating variables, on this relationship. Design/Methodology Ordinary Least-Squares (OLS) regression multiple regressions are used test hypotheses. The sample in current consists 57 non-financial firms listed Egy...

We investigate whether acquiring firms make more profitable acquisitions when target firms’ financial statements are comparable with their industry peers. replicate the original sample of Chen et al. (2018) and extend to most recent year. find that experience higher announcement returns, acquisition synergies better post-acquisition operating performance targets statement comparability. Our res...

We show that if R is an exchange ring, then the following are equivalent: (1) R satisfies related comparability. (2) Given a,b,d ∈ R with aR+bR = dR, there exists a related unit w ∈ R such that a+bt = dw. (3) Given a,b ∈ R with aR = bR, there exists a related unit w ∈ R such that a= bw. Moreover, we investigate the dual problems for rings which are quasi-injective as right modules.
